Notes
This is an odd one, and feels like a rebalance/redesign for the unit. The combination of +1T with -1W seems like a slight nerf, but then GW lays on the extra lethality in both attacks and increased weapon stats all over the place. The Serberys cavalry will now really feel different than the larger heavier chickenwalkers.
Note the increased AP across both variants, and the overall increased damage either will do with that +1 attack. I’ll be really curious how these are costed in the upcoming codex.
All hail the Omnissiah!
