    My Army Box is in the mail and i'm really excited to build em and paint up the new units to try. Its a shame the Terrorgheist options just don't seem great and i hope they errata that. The tinfoil option is Ushorans the big beefy monster right now to get those preorders and when he drops then we get some errata for the others. I've been working on using the beastflayer hero for a ghur style Ghoul Queen on Terrogheist and i hope eventually it sees some play.

  • @ObsidianCrane
    @ObsidianCrane 5 місяців тому +2

    I wonder if there is a really nice looking Knight (vampire or not) figure that you could put on the same size base as Usharon, and then alternate the model as you move it. Same with a nice noble cavalry etc... expensive but it feels like there is a lot of fun to be had with this army and its narrative themes.

    3:22:07 Rules As Written, there's an argument that the Throne turns off OBR's trait. It should get an FAQ, though.
    Core Rules 1.6 States that when an ability is used, an effect is applied. Core Rules 27.0 states that allegiance abilities are split into two types: battle traits and enhancements, and you get to use them if all of the units in your army or whatever are from a single army. We have in the NULL MYRIAD subfaction rule on how "ignore" is can be used.
    Thus, Battle Traits are abilities, the Throne stops their usage if within range.

    Subfaction with +1 Damage, seems kinda nice. Now let me all tell you a story about a thing called bounty hunters. A long time a go, in a world far away.

      @TylerEmerson 5 місяців тому +2

      I can see Vince’s perspective re on average potentially throwing good money after bad. I think there are certain builds that make it compelling, though, especially lists with Ushoran.
      If running him, I’d always have +1 save from the Delusion, and then adjust the second according to the matchup. The potential of having him at base +2 save against shooting, without any Mystic Shield or Finest Hour, is outstanding, especially with 5+ ward (potentially 4+) + up to 3D3 healing in your hero phase.

    Man not sure what it is exactly but I have never been a fan of the terrorgheist / zombie dragon kit. I am just going to get that new Stormcast hero on dragon and put him on a bunch of crumbling bloody ruins on the terrorgheist base. That is what FEC would see in battle anyhow.

      I think USRs can work pretty well if the game uses 10-20 of them. 30 as an absolute maximum. If it has more, it should not use them.
      Core rules for 10th edition 40k are in the right spot for them.

  • @redsven7624
    @redsven7624 5 місяців тому +2

    Early thought on universal special rules - they are not bad, how GW uses them is bad. Other games use them, as you said, summarise them on the unit and have a living rulebook that has them with expanded definitions and clarifications on interactions (not in yet another document). Same for limiting rules , it doesn't, new rules can be added if you aren't locked to printed books, another GW problem.
    Also as someone who loves WFB, the opportunity to revise the rules and use dynamic and interesting new ways of playing rank and flank, other games are doing it. Bring in players from total war, and bring in new players. If you want the old rules stick them out again, I and others still have mine, why I would buy a tweaked version? Feels like a missed opportunity

  • @Enballgroda1
    @Enballgroda1 5 місяців тому +2

    Vince I can’t disagree with you more about Defend Our Lands (+1 save). You can get so many wounds so cheap that any amount of durability increase makes a big difference. And on bigger models like kings on TGs and Ushoran you can really stack it. I played one game against this army and a TG had a 4+ save after my Varanguard applied their -3 rend… had he been able to all out defense it would’ve been. 3+. More importantly you will never need +1 charge as your units will get so close when they respawn it’s sort of a waste comparatively.

    • @BR4IN1N4J4R
      @BR4IN1N4J4R 5 місяців тому +4

      I can see both sides. Yes, the respawn can give you some shuffle tricks to get you closer while the +1 Run and Charge is kinda just good 99% of the time. Personally, I'd give this to Ushoran for his bubble and just have Feast Day up army-wide

    • @Enballgroda1
      @Enballgroda1 5 місяців тому

  • @thomaskunz8553
    @thomaskunz8553 5 місяців тому

    The -2 Bravery Monsterous Rampage is only compelling to trigger Ushoran's fight last. You can -3~-5 Bravery multiple units to force the fight last which is reasonable even against 10 bravery especially starting the 2nd combat with ushoran brining them down to at best a 6 id the rampage goes off. Units running away is a bonus and helps sure up your horde matchups but really youre playing that out of a coma dream of 2019 where you play activation wars and your opponent wonders why they brought dice to the table.

    Not sure if I understood what Tyler meant by getting shorter charges. So if I returned a unit of 3 knights for example, the unit has to be placed 9" away from enemies. But, then I can top the unit off using the return model mechanic and THOSE models can actually be placed closer than 9" to an enemy model?

    My reading of this book is that Oprah is handing out Noble Deeds if you build your army properly, and then you’re bringing back Horrors or Flayers every turn and doing a million damage.
    Plus all your summons should be getting a 3” charge.
    This book could be a problem…

      Yeah that’s the clear potential issue with the book, but I think there’s obvious things that can be done to bring it in line, if it ends up being out of line. My personal praise of the book comes with that asterisk. And we saw the potential in the very first batrep on Season of War, but we also saw the potential for it to go the other way: the game would’ve been over quick if Jordan had won priority R2.

      I understand, that is why I support more standardized language as I said, but USRs are just a huge barrier of entry to new players, especially when they are in this number, it becomes something people forget, that slows the game, and that is ultimately opaque knowledge. Having the text on the game piece is just superior for the larger part of the casual fan base.

      And I would argue that in the long term it ends up hurting those same people as the rules end up over 30 books, with different erratas, and it just blocks them from actually learning the breadth of the game. What would be 1 or 2 special rules end up being 15 different special rules most of which are exactly the same but a few are just slightly differently worded and then you need to figure out if they still work the same or actually not.

In 8th edition 40k they used a lot of very similar or identical rules and gave them different names, which just made it harder to understand what your opponent's army does. The MTG solution that Vince talked about seems very elegant and should be a no-brainer for rules writers.

      @@RagnarokRPG All fair, but I also know I had a rough day yesterday pre-show and I always try to keep that separated from my attitudes on the show, I never want anyone, especially the first time they show up, to have a bad time. SO I apologize if some of that leaked through. In the end, I do like the book quite a bit, though there are some challenges, but that's every book.
