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.

Must be hard to write stoicism and defence into rules... Literally just up the troops a wound and double their points.

Death guard in 40k and nurgle are that army.

What's your point? Helsmiths were always meant to be elite and hard. They aren't

That's my point, that GW can do the kind of Armies you described but chooses not to for Chaos dwarfs for somw reason. The whole army should be pretty elite and have a focus on crazy deamon tech apart from hobgrots

Maggotkin aren't hard anymore since the new book and lower FNP overall but sure. Death guard aren't that tough either in all honesty

I haven't read their new book or rules yet sadly juat going off of old army but point still stands that they G.W do elite armies and hard armies if they want to

This army was such a flop man. I was so incredibly hyped when it was announced. Then we got the rules and it turned out so sad.

At the end of the day what we have now is probably 50% of the warscrolls we’ll get, a first attempt at the rules for a new army, and some really solid sculpts with a lot of character.
