The new army book is really impressive. I'm glad to see Daemonic animosity is back but without breaking the balance of the army list.
Marauders are more expensive and warriors have got a little cheaper. To combat huge hordes marks and now paid for per model rather than per unit. Makes more sense. Strangely though in the first list I built I retired my 40 strong marauder regiment in favour of an unmarked 30 strong unit of warriors.
Chariots are now core and my local indi retailer had already run out of them! I went for a unit of the new dragon ogres. The prospect of Monsterous cavalry tearing into the enemy was too much to pass up.
Ogres are cheaper and now behave more like Ogre Kingdoms bulls so I may be looking at a unit of 6 of them at some point.
One big vibe on the net is that combat characters are butchers and we're going to see a lot of top heavy armies.
I think with the amount of cavalry, monstrous cavalry and that War hounds now count towards core allocation we 're going to see a lot of fast, hard hitting chaos armies.
On a separate note my local GW has decided to stop being a hobby centre and merely be a shop meaning I now have no where to play. Some of the guys are trying to start up a gaming club in Uxbridge so we'll see how that goes.
