New 8th rule rumours....We're nerfed!!!

[Originman]

I've forgotten my probability math skills, can someone do the number crunching on the average of 3D6 minus the lowest die roll please?

8.46

Thanks, so the average Lycni charge is now 17". Still nice.

Thanks, so the average Lycni charge is now 17". Still nice.

Only 1" less than before. I can live with that, and a minimum of 11" should really keep me fine.

It also makes our zombies look fast! (Unless they errata zombie charge-range to 1D6 + M, like I've heard....)

Update: Lycni doesn't give you Swiftstrider, so until it's FAQ'd you only charge 2D6 + 9.

Still pretty nippy mind you, especially for it's points. However as other's have said I wonder whether things like this will be fixed properly with our Errata, or just the main 7th>8th conflicts sorted.........

One thing i've noticed is our vargulf is only 2D6+Movement...It's classed as a monster so doesn't get swift stride. Meaning on average it marches faster then it charges.

hi

are we realy??

- unless FAQ change this, red fury + 6th spell in beast lore + hatred= a average of 12 str 6? att : more or less 10 kill = 10 more att = more or less 7. then stomp rule = d6 automatic hit +more hit from red fury!! ho and 2d6 flaming att from breath !!!!!!! he could easyly kill 25-30 models alone!!

- we got acces to a `cheap`4+ ward save

-spell are easyer to cast!

- no need to upgrade vamp magic lvl we got power dice anyways!

- no more autokill str 7 on black coach

-new magic phase mean black coach can befome very strong very fast!!!

- troop att on multiple ranks !! at least i have a chance to do some dammage whit a 40 str skeleton block!! 30 GG on a 3X10 mean lot of KB attacks!!!!

that s all what come into mind for now but there is probably a few more thing that help us!!

sry for bad spelling! english is not my first language!
