Thoughts
Overall I’m not paying attention to the individual units as much as the trend-lines. The overall trend here is is units being REDUCED in cost across the board. The ratio of unit point decreases to increases is 10 to 1! So what this means is it looks like GW thinks large amounts of units in the game are not powerful enough and are dropping their point-cost.
The big question is WHAT ARMY IS THE BASELINE? In other words what is the army that is getting little to no decreases, or majority increases, that all of these cost reductions are based off of. I would bet on it being Marines.
~Have at it everyone and look for full coverage of the book in the days ahead. What do you think of the first set of rumored changes?
