wish the new Longbeards/Hammerers weren't 10 per box....especially not for £30!
Could just be that Rangers are moving to Rare. Yeah 30 quid for 10 makes pretty expensive for my planned 30 man unit!
Exactly, i wanted a nice thematic 30 man unit too. not paying that though!

I don't have my Dwarf book to hand, but if I recall Rangers was an upgrade to any unit. If so all troop boxes would drop into rare, rather than the ranged. Or am I making things up?

Rangers were an upgrade to Warriors, Quarrelers or Longbeards

So lack of Warriors in their rare section on site, would discount it being Rangers that are rare. Unless they dropped rangers from the Warriors.

I guessing (or hoping) that Rangers will get their own unit entry in rare instead of being a unit upgrade and come with crossbows as standard. Handguns are pretty common in Dwarf armies so can't see Thunderers being a rare choice. Could well be wrong though! We will see later this month.

£28 for the gyrocopter?! how much was the finecast?! seems pricey.

Moving Thunderers to Rare seems illogical, unless someone can point out a previous instance where they've moved a unit from Core to Rare? (Not Special to/from Rare, just Core).

I'll qualify that by linking this bizarre magazine, when it comes to illogical decisions. So far I have not seen any rule leaks, but imagine their hand guns were S5 Armour Piercing Flaming, that would be brutal enough to bump them down. Maybe the force is changing direction, from stand and shoot, play the most boring game ever, to something that requires engaging with the enemy. That could be a cause to restrict missile fire.
Two things are certain with this book. Firstly it's going to be interesting to see if it's not just a website error. Secondly at least two UK tournament attendees, will have been involved in play testing, and neither can stand the sit back and shoot Dwarfs.
