Overall I think the points changes in v3 are good as are the rule modifications. Did mean I had to redo all of my previous army lists as the points had changed on them all *sigh*

Thanks Kiwi.

I did warn you about jumping in before draft 3.0

I'm fairly happy right now, the list is receiving mixed reviews on other forums. Generally good.

One recurring theme is some criticism of the amount of special rules. I think this is partyl due to the web presentation, it's easier to jump back and forth when you have the pdf printed out (like I did last night).

I won't be changing the rules in this draft but I might try to trim down the wording at the weekend. I've spotted a load of corrections to spelling and punctuation etc that i need to make anyway.

Number of special rules isnt that large not compared to armies like Chaos and Orcs & Goblins. Just a matter of getting to grips with them.

One issue I did think of last night while working on some list ideas is the minimum number of core units. At present it is only 2+ which means that 1 could field 2 units of Coral Hunters for 60pts in a 2000pt game and then max out on special and rare units. Kind of makes things unbalanced.

How about a rule, like Vampire Counts, whereby certain core units DO NOT count toward the core minimum e.g., Dire Wolves don't. Not sure how necessary it might be but its a thought...

Excellent idea Kiwi.

I never thought of returning to the Army Unit allowances after I first wrote them up and there ahev been many changes since then.

I think we can safely say that Coral Hunters do not count towards the minimum number of core units.

I'm not sure if I should include Crest Riders or not.

What do you think ?

PS. I am adding all these changes to my google notes and they'll go online on Saturday.

Coral hunters should definately not count, but Crest-Riders should as they are slightly stronger.

Yep, I agree. I added the (doesn't count towards minimum core units) text to the Coral Hunter unit.
