Hi all!
Don’t worry OBR players! GW hasn’t forgotten you, and is releasing a snippet of the new Battletome showing off new abilities and traits! It looks like the OBR will be getting a comprehensive overhaul.
The first update is that all OBR units are getting a 6+ ward save. This should make you more survivable and give that elite, un-killable feel to your units.
The benefits continue as all non-mount units get upgrade Nadririte weapons giving them exploding 6’s to hit!
When it comes to Grand Strategies and Battle Tactics you get the goal of taking all objective, more achievable for you then other armies given your ability to replenish your forces as well as an incentive to take some Mortek Crawlers.
One of the biggest changes is in regards to how easily you will be able to gain command points. All of these are cumulative and the more units you have the more you get. This will allow you to be quite profligate with your command points knowing you will have plenty more available!
Now that you have plenty of command points you will be able to use them to tailor your forces to the situation. Ossiarch commands give you a degree of flexibility as you try to out-wit your opponents.
It looks like the OBR will be a very tactical army that rewards generals who carefully plan their moves. The book will have a lot more options with something for every scenario. I like the direction they are taking this force as it makes them feel unique and it plays into their fluff effectively. What do you all think?
