Regarding TOW, the more it goes and the more all the hardcore GW fans at our club are less hyped by it... Delays over delays, no clear com, rebasing, half armies supported, etc... In the GW fans, the ones who started T9A and were hyped by TOW are already saying that they will probably stick to T9A, the ones who never started T9A or any WAP start to think that they will never come bakc in any wargame At this point, I honestly have no idea who this TOW game is for anymore This clearly isn't a game…

Quote from derplaetter: “Lantern. I do not understand why everyone is insisting on dis 9. Give it a try. The actual point cost look very tempting to me. How often do you rally your chaff usually? I like the lantern because it slows down the enemy so much. So I can probably set up my charges way easier. -2 is uge already. But it also combines really well with witchcraft. Additionally for rallying we have the hippos 18” bubble. In my last 4 games it was not game breaking but had its impact. It mad…

The "grail knights" name change was already discussed in public before From what i recall, from a background point of view it made no sense to be able to field as much or even more grail knights than regular knights in your army. In the slim book the 2*8 grail knights was common, almost basic when you looked at lists, but drinking from the grail is something supposed to be rare and not free for all... So now the grail fit truly his purpose and is really rare, materialized by the sainted option i…

Quote from Krokz: “We are trying to find a role for each Principle from the start. It was even talked about in the last designer's notes that we are searching for more roles since three Principles have redundant (Justice, Generosity, and Faith are all "grinding inside a unit") roles. I am here looking for ideas, got any? ” Justice : whenever a model of your army is killed in a duel, you gain hatred against the model that killed it ? Faith : expand the effect to commanding presence or X" value if…

Quote from rolan: “Arm 2 would be nice, easy and pretty unique for DL. Since they are supposed to be the "soldiers" of DL (am I wrong here?), it would fit. ” it would help a lot and be unique, yes, but armor is supposed to be one of the hard weakness of DL... So even if probably one of the best choice, it will always come last in list of things to add in the book

Quote from Ursa06: “Can we, instead, make them stronger and not cheaper? Since adding more special rules will make them more complex, maybe better stats? Base AP2? Def 5? Things like that/ Going for cheaper is good and all, but we are going from elite force to mediocre ttroop ” I support this ! Just give them battle focus always and not devastating charge would change a lot of things by making big units valuable without being charge dependent Make some builds more interresting like sentinel with…

@Happy Aspid personnal choice i often face elves or armies with access to agi modifier spells, chilling yawn allow me no matter what to strike before all core units, some characters and lot of special units, or charge spear units. DL have access to a lot of reroll to wound or resilience malus, so succubis always striking first with some magic support can threaten a lot even non standard size units thanks to the number of attacks that you have (and i have a lot of special attacks lately in my lis…

I'm curious, let's make the exercice in the other direction Currently 20 myrmidons, full command and whipcrack tail are at 490 points, almost the same as 18 succubis full command with chilling yawn How many more myrmidons would you need for the same price to consider them instead of the succubis ? Of course both units have different uses and needs, just vaccum comparaison, but still, i would say that i would need around 24 myrmidons for this price so around 4 to 5 point reduction per model for b…

Quote from Metallo: “but I also wanted to try to understand how much the succubi were to "punish" and how much the myrmidons were to "help" for example, would simply increasing the cost of succubi (generic example, 2 points per model) lead you to play myrmidons or just to play fewer succubi? ” Just increasing succubi price feel more like "we have one good and one bad unit, let's price increase the good one until both of them are bad" My main issue is that i don't find any purpose for them in my …

Quote from Ludaman: “1. How well do you feel that the KoE Beta LAB represents the background material? Do any unit entries stand out as particularly flavorful? Do any units seem to go against the background? ” I would say 6/10 for the background representation. Despite all the internal balance issues, most of the background have his representation in the book with logical rules to depict it. The lord, folk hero, paladin and fey knights are my favorite background related wise, respectively for th…

Quote from Klexe: “Add a max shooting limit. Max 90 bows.Trebuchet count as 30 bows. One crossbow count as 2 bows. ” Really like this one for shooting limitation, better to have several levers beside points to fine tune units and balance With this you can even field less crossbows than now, but i would still add a small limitation to crossbow hooded men... maybe limit scout to your deployment zone or your half table ? how would you help bow choices in the book without nerfing the crossbow choice…

@Karaghul For me i always go with gloss then matt varnish from pebeo for every mini (metal or not), apply the gloss varnish and let it dry 24 hours then slowly apply the matt one, don't put too much matt varnish on your mini or it can form bubbles in hollows when drying due to the different varnish textures Never had any frost effect, during some days the varnish can feel a bit strange when touching it but return to "normal" feeling in some days, and never had any chipping paint (but i use racks…

Agree on the archetypes, in this case the pickrate could be due only to player collection so need to be a little bit more careful... Big fan of Dishonored so will not complain much more

Surprise me, Omen inside gremlins ??? I would be really interested to have their feedbacks about her, and how the last update change her playstyle at high level... Gregor took the more usual witchcraft master with every manifestation to prevent to be hit, but the divination adept with only iron husk from Edward surprised me

Channel isn't something cultist have a hard time with, so at first sight dealing damage to gain tokens should be cheap to be interresting Unless i'm missing something, with hideout you place a ruin in your zone but don't have any benefit or strider inside ? I see the background link here but not sure if it's worth it No more nobody expect is some great news, but the summoning changed a lot too ! Now if you go second, you have 4 tokens to use for your first turn and that change a lot ! Now we can…

At 3000 points, GD like the miser or the maw are just too strong from what i saw, so many armies can't deal with them anymore if you want an overall balanced list, so a 500 points limitation per unit is good At this points, you can still take an adept deceiver, going full harbinger or even trying an almost naked apprentice omen, yes you can't take strong units like 6 flies anymore but with this format the target is fun over balance, and there is still a lot of fun things to try

Quote from StoffenDK: “I love the DL giants, but they are clearly unbalanced. I’ve played them a lot, but I’ve lately actively chosen not to take them. I expected that they would generally be disallowed at tournaments, but that hasn’t actually happened yet, so maybe I should start using them again. 285 with chitinous scales is amazing (undercosted by 50pts at least), and depending on your magic setup, parry can also be great. It’s likely stronger to run 3 giants than any of the big demons. ” doe…

Quote from Ursa06: “HOLD ON! Since when does the Sentinel has 175 pts of manifestation allowance? ” Since this patch Don't have any clue why, i guess that it's to allow to take iron husk + other manifestations in order to make strixian viable ? but i'm not sure that it'll work

I second Ursa on this, we can agree that in this complexity reduction era it could be could to give up on the archetypes, but then at least make the cultist on 25*25 base and an option maybe 1ppm to be on 20*20 base ? Mostly played vanilla cultists and find that it's way better to pay more for the Res4 options if i should make a choice now, vanilla cultists (and Res3 archetypes) should be cheaper than now to make me consider them again

Quote from Ursa06: “I would really like for the altar to have a potentially different summoning "perk" than others. If the Cult Leader and the Altar get range buffs both it'll be a no-brainer. If one has range and the other has efficiency it will be a valid competition between the two. ” Good catch, but currently altar have efficiency but no range and no move, if the cult leader and the altar need to have different summoning abilities i would gladly prefer to have the better efficiency on the cu…
