GW released a bombshell of new FAQs on Friday, covering errata for the core book and lengthy FAQs for each faction. And as always, we’ve got you covered with the rundown of what’s changed and what it means for your games. In this series of Hot Take articles, we’ll be covering the changes and our initial reactions to them but for more detailed analysis, check back over the next two weeks as we dive deeper into how these changes affect the game and its factions.
The Good
- Wight King command ability: This has been fixed, and now triggers at the start of the Combat phase instead of the Hero phase as it was erroneously listed as.
- The Gravekeeper (and all of the Cursed City models for that matter) is now no longer locked behind a multi-unit bundle that was over costed. And he is 75 points. For a free: “Endless Legions” every turn, 75 points on a hero that has look-out-sir and on average 15/16 wounds (after pass offs and the 6+ Ward.) that’s a steal.
The Bad
- Nothing: Nothing bad really happened here, just brought wording more in line with AOS 3.0
Conclusion
We knew that this was going to just be a codex FAQ rather than an update since they were definitely written for 3.0. Its just nice to have it finally, and now the Gravekeeper is free, I expect him to be in a lot of lists.
