They could of seen some niche role as a chaff unit or something similar but losing their once impressive stat line and skirmishing rule will likely see them relegated to dust collecting duty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-57157089424995132552014-05-02T14:48:17.395+12:002014-05-02T14:48:17.395+12:00the sister of the thorn have shield of thorns and ...the sister of the thorn have shield of thorns and curse, not dryadsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660320560535159713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-32216573922691606682014-05-02T14:47:11.923+12:002014-05-02T14:47:11.923+12:00no frenzy, nopeno frenzy, nopeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660320560535159713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-36822342039016783412014-05-02T14:26:07.874+12:002014-05-02T14:26:07.874+12:00is it really true they are a ranked up unit?!? the...is it really true they are a ranked up unit?!? they will be a nightmare to rank up with all those pointy bits :(Pitchforkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200094977172084721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-72374656229609097822014-05-02T13:08:10.349+12:002014-05-02T13:08:10.349+12:00I also thought an early rumour gave them shield of...I also thought an early rumour gave them shield of thorns as a bound spell.

ASF with elven initiative is typically slightly better than hatred but not always. <br /><br />The real issue is the value you place on immune to psychology and fear. It is difficult to mathhammer these abilities (especially given elven leadership values) but everyone fails tests sometimes and such turns games. These are therefore not worthless abilities.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see if the lack of command has that much of an effect.<br /><br />It could turn out that eternal guard are just much better but if so it will mean eternal guard are a very good unit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-51008714628702056142014-05-02T00:27:33.517+12:002014-05-02T00:27:33.517+12:00yeah but they are toughness 3, 1 attack, worse AS ...yeah but they are toughness 3, 1 attack, worse AS and no ward<br />Jossyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386542471306291066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-10213007569768853282014-05-01T23:22:01.923+12:002014-05-01T23:22:01.923+12:00no way round it they are garbage... such a shame.....no way round it they are garbage... such a shame..

Warhammer is a good game, but it could be a great one if blindingly obvious mistakes like this were picked up prior to publication.
