Quick note, the Hunting Grounds Enhancement keeps getting misunderstood and is IMO much nastier than most people are reading it. "Each time your opponent sets up a reserves unit, roll a d6. On a 2+, that unit must take a battleshock test." So it's not "the reserve unit always tests and get a +2", it's "the reserve unit tests normally but it only happens 5 out of 6 times."
Good spot mate, that’s a fair bit more lethal than originally anticipated! Welcome to the crusade, let us know if there’s anything especially on the tyranid front you want covered!
Was this before the balance update? You should note which stratagems that are battle tactic (only Suprise Assault and Assassin Beasts). Meaning a Hive Tyrant can't use Unseen Lurkers for free. Surprise Assualt actually does very little for Genestealers who already hits on 2's (and reroll 1's to wound if the enemy is on an objective). Which means it requires the enemy unit to fail the battleshock test, to have any effect at all. Not usually something you want to burn a cp on. Factual error: Hunting Grounds doesn't autoforce Battle shock tests with a +2 modifier on units from reserves - it forces Battleshock tests on 2+ on units from reserves. Roll a 1 and nothing happens for that unit.
I can't wait to see more of these for each codex.
We will be cranking these out for as many armies as possible as armies codexs are released. any armies your particularly excited for?
