So that answers some of the questions! I love that they made the Axe of Khorne available to Daemon Princes and Plague Zombies able to be taken in bigger squads. That was kind of lame, before and it seemed like an obvious oversight. Our source was right on that Plague Zombie issue, too, so that was awesome.
Lowering points on the Hellbrute is interesting! Too my knowledge, that hasn’t happened before. I still wish you could take Chaos Wargear for him, though.
What do you guys think?
Sweet, I’m really gonna have to consider getting a Daemon Prince now…
Yeah, that Axe of Fury turns him into an absolute Lawn Mower!
Man, I went and broke off a lot of Terminator arms and reconfigured them all to work with the new book. Wasted hobby time!
Bummer! That stinks, hopefully it’s an easy fix.
umm guess that settles your troops question. Typhus and Abbadon Bros Forever!
Hahahaha, right? And they form the Brute Squad of Doom!
The change to the price of the Hellbrute was interesting, showing GW capable of a second thought….
Yeah, that was most interesting to me. I have heard rumors of some units getting a price hike that need it: Purifiers, Vendettas, etc. but I doubted it. This may be evidence to the contrary, which would be great!
I’d like to take a dirge caster on a hellbrute 🙂
Ah well, 3 brutes and 3 maulerfieds comes to 705 points
Yeah, I really don’t see why the units that could make best use of them, don’t get them. A reason to buy Rhinos, I guess! Hahaha
Nice FAQ but it still doesn’t answer the current abbadon argument where people are saying he can’t join marked units
I think that is a pretty silly argument, personally. I know we will rule that Abby can join any unit. I don’t think any TO in the nation will rule the other way, at least none that I speak with.
I used Abby at a local tournament this weekend and all the player agreed that he should be able to join maked Units. My three matchups were space marine types and his 12″ PE bubble was very useful and hatred just wrecked them.
I totally agree, I think that the intent is clear. I understand the argument against it, but I feel that there is no need in this case to read it the restrictive way.
