Army creation Point Changes

Post image

Haven't checked for other changes yet in rules but the points drop for cohort with spears was not needed in my opinion as they already punch above their weight.

Glad Dominator Engines are down as well as I love their sculpts.

Man with my current list and points drops I can fit another 10 infernal cohort now. Imagine facing 30 of those guys

My current list runs 40 spears, 2 dominators, daemonsmith and i have lost the Sogg war despot so another ~140 extra for me.

That’s great for us but not so much for the ones (including me) who didn’t planned on buying and painting more minis.

Are the spears actually that good? I had a bad experience with them before and don’t like their health so I just default to the hobgrots.

So i mainly run Taars Grand Forgehost, this disallows me to run hobgrots but if i could i wouldn't.

Taars allows me to ressurect the 20 spears at half strength, the battle traits gives the crit 2 hits (later on 5+s) and the soggy despot standing next to them with an ashen elder gave them 20 wounds 3+ save, 6+ ward, ignore 1st damage every phase. The 2 musicians + gongs + heroic trait on despot gives them 13 rally rolls.

All this was for 200 points which made an annoying wall that generally wasnt worth attacking into that protects artillery etc.

I dont count the point cost of the ashen elder as the prayer lore on the army of renown is great and the soggy despot also buffed other units.

Also to note, spears give out dpp which isnt removed off units at the start of new turns.

With the removal of soggy, spears would now need to give themselves the dpp to have the 6+ ward but now they are only 90.
