Apparently some controversy because it was known that Buccaneer Horde was misprint but allowed anyway.

Initiated some whinging that "Elite" and "shooting" armies are too good.

  1. Interesting shift to shooting armies. Good to see Dan (nice bloke) still top of the tree. I wonder if the weakening of cavalry in the 2nd edition has led to reliance of infantry which are then more vulnerable to shooting. If so, I suspect competitive lists will be reintroducing cavalry.

  2. Surely it wouldnt be wargaming if there was not some ... noise about army composition?

  3. Ran a variant of the top list (Undead on Undead) last night (pared down to 2000pt) No revenat kings, only one Lykanis, no trolls. Found the major weak in that list to be susceptibility to cavalry charge (w bane chant) and wraiths limited mobility (shambling). I would predict that we will see a lot of flying Cursed Pharoes in future. The new Blender Lords, methinks.
