As usual, with the end of a season comes a balance change, and while recent balance passes have focused on Bodyguards and Traits (both overall distribution and their effects), this season we are mainly focusing on Warlords.
So to start with we have three changes to Warlord special rules, the first of which is a much requested and hopefully very exciting one:
Special Rule Changes:
Ahriman – Arch-Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons: Bolt of Change
Previous rule: “When this Warlord attacks, a random card gains or loses between +20 and -20 Wounds.”
New rule: “At the start of each players’ turn, either one of your cards gain +1 or +20 Wounds or one enemy card loses -1 or -20 Wounds.”
Eldrad Ulthran – Exiled High Farseer of Craftworld Ulthwe: Skeins of Fate
Previous Rule: “When an enemy card Readies, one of your Aeldari cards Readies once. These Readies do not generate additional Readies”
New Rule: “When an enemy card Readies, one of your Aeldari cards Readies once at 200%. These Readies do not generate additional Readies”
Grand Master Voldus – Grey Knights Grand Master: Psychic Discipline
Deployment buff: +15% to +20%
