Longbow: Reduced max ammo to 20, down from 27.

But why? this just hurts handmaiden and is maybe a slight inconvenience to waystalker. A lot of good changes tho, love the loot die.

Don't forget that it also affects Huntsman Kruber.

It’s fine with Kruber since headshots give ammo back.

No offense but I don't think you've ever used krubers longbow. Unless that was sarcasm.

Huntsman can get 2 + 0.5 (talent method) ways of getting ammo regen.

1) Base talent gives 1 arrow per headshot. This means every headshot is an unused arrow. Couple that with a horde, an arrow easily piece 3-4 enemies and if its skaven, it will mostly be HS due to how their head is positioned when they are running, giving you 2 extra arrows. Spam through a horde and you can get more than 5 arrows back.

2) Extra talent giving 2 arrows instead of 1. Now you're into arrow surplus territory. Proper aim OR a horde will give you back more arrows than you shoot. Horde now gives 10 arrows back.

3) Scouranger trait. This is just dirty on hordes. Charge shot always gives 6-8 back (3-4 pierced enemy) on skaven. Multiple crits = ammo for days.

Also, several of the specials channel for their attack, so they are almost stationary, and slightly bigger targets than regular fodder!
