Warmahordes general

That's not Skornergy. Banes happen to be good at hacking apart *anything*, and can replenish their numbers lost on the way in by ganking some infantry.

>I don't think anyone is really crying their eyes out about our most expensive unit being toned down.

How about this, Khador and cryx can exchange their elite costing infantry.

You get Assault Kommandoes, and we get your Bane Thralls. Good?

Yup. Can't wait for the 20$ UA....I mean design space.

Yeeeaaaahhh.

Demo Corps don't feel distinct enough from Shocktroopers anymore, and they come out worse because of it. The difference in point cost is negligible to the point of meaninglessness, so what you end up with is trading +1 ARM, Shieldwall, CMA, the shield cannon, and access to the UA for +2 POW and a shitty critical effect.

Don't get me wrong. It's really nice that we'll be seeing MoWs on the table now. I just can't figure out why I'd ever use Demo Corps.

Fuck off. Which melee units did Khador use? Doom Reavers, Iron fangs, Great Bears and Kayazy. All of them have SPD 6 and all but Kayazy have reach to boot, Kayazy have DEF 14 and Stealth.

mmm salt

Now Ghost Walk is cheaper, can be cast by Withershadow, and more casters have it.
Thralls either needed Stealth or Tough.
Now they are weaker, cost more than they used to and are completely outperformed by Knights, who are actually one of the three (never used calvary so from that Soul Hunters still appear to be decent with Bane Cav being heavy nerfed) well balanced units. They are weaker, but still do the job you wanted them to do, which is being mobile, independent and reasonably strong versus multiple unit types while not being amazing against any.
Mat 6 makes them quite bad at hacking up anything. Unless you pay 8 more points to get it up more which is half your points which if the enemy knows what to shoot will not reach combat will more than 3 models which may or may not do anything useful.
Didn't you know they used to run MoW because speed 4 is actually really really decent?

Correction, def 14-19 depending on the situation. But who needs defensive tech on units! Just those whiny babies!

I know. I kept hearing that MoW would be "the new big thing" for Khador. Maybe there is some warcaster synergy we haven't seen yet but thats just me being wishful.

Il Gladly Switch Bane Thralls with Doomers. At the cost of 3 points less, we get only 6 of them in a unit. And on top of that we can't even buff em. Feh.

Great Bears are a character Unit, and Kyazy can deal with infantry but not with Jacks (Also Kyazy are vulnerable to blasts very muchso). I will say I see Kyazy as the new secret stars though.

Demo Corps are kind of crap. I think Bombardiers are definitely improved by the significant point discount and may have their place.

I say look on the bright side. We finally have a good MoW unit now.
