RE: GW's Digital advent releases - Gareth - 04-12-2013 Simon I picked it up to see what the crack was. Formation point costs are as they would be normally (so a 5pt Skeleton is still a 5 point Skeleton.) the more you take in the formation, the more it costs. Quite simple. They don't count towards any form of your points limits, so essentially eat into your non-core sections. So take a formation. Your giving up the toys in the army. They do have magic items, and their own special rules, but your army is also effected by the ally rules (BRB 136-139.) To be honest, it's a £2.50 charge to players, in an attempt to shift more of their Xmas box sets, but doesn't appear to be over powering. RE: GW's Digital advent releases - manrogue - 04-12-2013 Beat me to it Gaz, was just going to post clarification. :p RE: GW's Digital advent releases - Etched Oracle - 04-12-2013 Gaz, I know the rules and this particular formation isn't much of an issue, what worries me is what this could hold in future for WFB as these formations could lead to the same issues players have with Allies in 40k. I don't care what the arguements for and against Allies are, I just don't like the direction this is heading in and it worries me that it could unbalance the game, thats all. RE: GW's Digital advent releases - manrogue - 05-12-2013 Just to mention, some of the rumours point to these box sets not being christmas splash releases but the replacement for battlebox's, some of which have gone direct only or discontinued apparently. Last few releases have not had a battle box released with them and they are pushing for a larger box release ( space marine strike force, Dark elves warhost of something) to come out with each release instead. What better way to sell these box sets than give them special rules etc to make them more enticing and make some cash with micro-transactions?
