  1. No-one can deny that you can make some excellently fluffy lists from this, with Greater Daemons leading a legion of their mortal followers in the service of their dark god.

    But given that Warhammer is a blood-sport, no-one can deny there'll be Throgg and his Trolls hanging out with a Doombull with Blackened Plate, with double Skullcannons and a Hellcannon in direct support.

    The issue isn't that the three Chaos books are together, it's that you can now fine-tune a list across three army books. I think it will only be a problem for those army books that don't get the same option to borrow from another book. I imagine that a Dwarves/Empire/High Elf combo would be just as filthy. If Orcs or Ogres or Skaven don't get to form a legion with another book or two, they'll be in a very weak position.

    I think it's going to be OK once the dust settles, as long as a new equilibrium establishes itself, rather than the last days of 7th Ed where some books were clearly superior to the others.

  4. I like it Skullcrushers and Bloodcrushers in the same army sounds hilariously funny to me. So much so that if I can get around to it I will make a pure Khorne army for no other reason than it sounds like an awesome looking army potentially

  5. That ain't the half of it... "Chaos Ascendant" for unbreakable mono-god armies that DON'T have any form of instability. Because mono-god is indeed fluffy.

  6. Pretty sure chaos ascendant is only used in the new scenarios in the book.
