Leperflesh posted:Yeah that's fair enough and 8th is the only edition I ever played. But the key thing is, they let you fire with two ranks, and it looks like TOW only lets you fire with one. That is going to have significant consequences for how you do shooting units. The points cost for skeleton archers have not come down so if your little 10 guy units only get five shots at BS3 hitting on 4+ wounding on 4+ and then the target gets armour save and maybe a ward save, they're effectively useless. You'll be lucky to do one wound a game. Even with all ten shots they were pretty shite.

Can you still take mixed city guard units of dark elves or are they just listed together for convenience? Also, seems odd to give the Murderous rule to Witch Elves and Executioners when it only applies to users of a single regular hand weapon, which quite famously neither of those do.

EdsTeioh posted:No, City Guard are now hand weapon/shield+optional spear OR their repeater crossbow men. I remember the old style City Guard getting dropped around 5th-6th and one of our friends that had been playing since the 90's was so furious about that change that he sold his army and to this day still says "Games Workshop screwed me over for the last time" and now only plays Warmachine.

City guard was a separate unit in the 1995 book. Pretty sure it was only spears and crossbows allowed. I am also pretty sure that the special rules included a stipulation that casualties were removed from the front rank, so crossbows first.

Ghouls have Reserve move, so they can move a second time in the shooting phase. They seem like perfect troops for the flanks, as they get no benefit from the Hellish Vigor spell your more highest level mage probably has.

I'd say it's intended to be a move because it says you "cannot move again."
