Stormclad: Same Awesomesauce, costs 10 now THead: little buffs, special attack automatically hits everyone within 6" friendly or enemy, still not work 12 pts anymore Lancer: Same, shield worded differently Charger:same Sentinel: fucking same bullshit Grenadier: same Thorn: nerfed additional move Ol' Rowdy: buffed Hammersmith: same Centurion: same, useful with Darius again Ironclad: same awesomeness Units: Stormblades: unit size still only 6, so HAHA too anyone who bought extras, UA give AOE 3" only when its a hit  Stormguard: Cheaper, leap still sux Long Gunners: same Gun Mages: rng reduced to 10", pts reduced Trenchers: pts reduced, but smoke line no longer good Sword Knights: lose the additional attack, but can the 1 pt attack again, cheaper BL13th: much better for cheaper Rangers: cheaper and slight buff SLances: slight buff, still expensive Mechaniks: cost more, but bodgers can repair normally |

You missed a few things:
Precursor Knights have their old spell ward back, so no more AS on them.
Stormsmiths' Stormcall is now an attack that requires LOS and range, no more auto-hitting lightning strikes.
THead: Shock Fists have Sustained Attack too
Now, given the way Ranked Attack works now, I think it might be viable to use Stormguard as an alternative to PKs for forming a wall for ATGM/LGs. Not only do they have reach, but the leader can also drop a 3" AoE on something with a respectable PoW after they attack. They can also get the same ARM as shield-walled PKs while retaining the ability to charge.

One of the nice things about this release is that they have removed the uncertainty about model stats which was holding some people back. I know I am certainly going to accelerate my model buildup a bit.

Delso, you will be happy to know that pMagnus is f@*$ng awesome now. He gained Snipe, and no longer has to spend focus to upkeep spells (4/6 of his spells are upkeeps)!

Stormsmiths' Stormcall is now an attack that requires LOS and range, no more auto-hitting lightning strikes. FUCK YEAH!!! Same happened to Skarre's Sac Strike, pretty much. But, fuck it. I'm still pissed about Goreshade's Soul Gate. That spell was my shit. Now, the 'Jack can't activate after he is Soul Gated. What the balls? Fucking worthless. Morty is still my main bitch. She is awesome as ever, even if her good 'jacks got a little more expensive. |

The rules took 3 seconds to download and 5 minutes or less to print to double sided pre holed paper. I will bring mine on Thursday.
My only beef is that the cards download are on full sized sheets of paper. I'll print out my mercs though. Maybe I can shrink them to card size for my own purposes.
I'll have to take a look at magnus now. I didnt look that far into it.

I tried shrinking them to card size but then the text isnt readable. I put two to a sheet and can still read them though

Just placed an order, so hopefully by next week I'll have a couple of decent 35 point lists to try.

A quick note to any ipod touch or iphone owners- I used my ipod touch tonight with a .pdf viewer with the new cards on it, and it worked out pretty well.
