They haven't explicitly said that for a while AFAIK, but yeah, nobody bothers. TS aren't worth anyway outside of maybe some melee MCs.

I don't recall them retracting their "no need to model grenades" statement either.

I hear you that they haven't stated it in a while. Granted I think anyone's thankful enough to get a game in now that toxin sacs on models are the least of their concerns.

Carnifexs Monsterous Scything Talons have changed too.

Was 15pts for one or two pairs previously.

Now it just says +10pts for Monsterous Scything Talons without stating if that's for one or two pairs.

Is it 10pts for 1 pair and 20pts for 2 pairs now?

Yeh, so an all scything talon fex went up, but a scything talon and gun fex went down.

Thanks for confirming - sad to see the fex go up again :-(

[terminatoruk]

Ooh but Screamer Killers are 120pts - effectively they are 5pts cheaper now as they were 105pts (so only paying +15pts for 2 sets of talons?)

I just updated the app. What a mess.

Did they mess up the points updates or is it just the other bugs they haven't fixed to date?

[hivemind03]

They missed a lot of our point updates. I'm sure it will get fixed soon but i get really tired of the lack of quality control.

[Nehkrimah]

I'm a bit confused about the points values listed on the faq. I'm an old player returning and I can't tell which of the costs have the standard wargear included or not.

[No One]

You pay the cost for the unit, then any listed costs for wargear etc you're taking.

[hivemind03]

If the war gear isn't listed it implicitly costs 0.

It's explicitly 0:

weapons and wargear not listed in a unit’s entry cost no additional points to include in that unit)

(There's some that're probably errors, but that's a separate issue)

Same problem as every app and game at launch, it's released before everything is ready and the customers are used for feedback and correction.

They didn't. The tyrannofex just lost the 'ignore -1 to hit from moving and shooting heavy weapons' ability. Because in 9th all monsters get that anyway, so it didn't do anything.


On another note, they seem to have made Paroxysm a bit better. They've reversed their older ruling that you could still use Counter-Offensive on a unit that's forced to fight last. So now paroxysm looks like it really does force a unit to fight last. Makes harpies ever so slightly better too.

The ruling technically never existed for 9th: the new rare rule only covers eligible units, which is a defined term that parox/most fight last does nothing to, but judiciar/armour of russ does.
