I'm just surprised the points are so similar considering what I perceive is a massive drop in kill power.

Z00Z Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 i dont think its wise to post pts cost for new codex, its against forum and GW rules.

SonOfThunder Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The points are not similar, you saved 200 pts! Anyway, there's stuff missing in the second list. You haven't paid for the wolf claws in your lord for instance. Price can be found in the armoury page. The points for the Wolf Priest's wargear are also off. I haven't reviewed everything else, but there's something you're not doing correctly when buying wargear for your units. There's nothing free in this codex :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295151-old-army-cost-vs-new-army-cost-comparison/#findComment-3777049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphus Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 i dont think its wise to post pts cost for new codex, its against forum and GW rules. Well I only put the added total for the new book. I think that should be ok, if not we'll know soon enough.

temneb Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Son of Thunder is right you've missed a couple of things. My 2k list came up about 200pts cheaper, and that had three grey hunter units in it. That's essentially a full unit of blood claws fully equipped I can now bring on top of my old list! I think that's a pretty good result!

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I agree on the whole Dex got cheaper. So far the only thing I noticed going up in points were my PA wolf guard and my greyhunters. Oh and vindicators got a slight raise. The rest went down, some of it way down, which in most cases more than off sets the last dex.

Just like you'd do in the Army List subforum, providing a total price for each unit is fine, as long as you don't go into the costs for each individual item. You did list each individual item for your old list, but that's based off of a now obsolete publication, so no issues here.

Rift Blade Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 But that's part of the transition from one codex to another. We loose some toys but we also gained some toys. I've converted 3 of my old stand by lists straight over to the new costs & I've come out with points left over each time. Overall, I'm very happy with what we got & looking forward to getting my first game in sometime in the near future.

I think that's a pretty good result! How the devil did you lose 200 points? My 'go to' 1500 list is essentially the same, with the cheaper predator, dread and Wolf Lord (thanks to no saga ) pretty much balancing the increased cost of my Hunters. I only saved around 20 points, which is enough to give my 2 10 man squads the second specials (I always ran WGPL instead on the 2nd special last dex).

Wispy Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 My standard 1500 list is still the same thanks to drastic thunderwolf reduction, and that's with being able to afford storm shields on every cavalry member now.

I think alot of it depends on if ran a lord or thunderwolves they had by far the biggest drops my lord droped sixty or so points when all was said and done, and my wolves dropped more than that.
