I did not see you talking about what makes me happy with the new Nords: the upgrade that makes Ulfhednars and Bearsarks triple activate. That they now can move+charge+fight is a huge change to me.
One combo I want to try is a Massive frame blooded in a unit of Ugrs. I think giving Ugrs access to linebreaker gives them incredible anvil cracking potential.
My list for my next game against OD just for giggles Vargyr Lord with massive frame 2 x Fenr Werewargs Mountain Jotnar Shaman warlord with Ty Jokull and ancestors' blessings giving the Raiders Bastion, Tenacious 2 and evade 2 Raiders with captain Mountain Jotnar Jotnar Seidr with Spear Mountain Jotnar Ice Jotnar
9:53 how often do you get beat to objectives with Nords? That ability just seems to suck. I'd rather have more attacks from the previous ability. "Oh I lost a back rank of trolls well I guess I'm hitting you back with an extra 3 or 4 attacks" is way more impactful than my raiders being capture weight 1.
No, no - more forests isn't more impactful - it'll remove impact hits - so its impactless :P OK sorry I had to. On a more serious note: do you maybe think that something like cavalry heavy 100k lists would also be strongly affected by changes in the mentality about more terrain?
Surely I think that cavalry that relies heavily on forests would be affected but I'm not sure that's a bad thing. There's still power in making your opponent hug a forest. And then you can bring units whose job is to clear those units out.
heavy cav lists will be and should be impacted. they can be huge NPE if you are not adequately terraining your table. Even with sufficient terrain, a proper cav list will include units that rely less on impact for this very reason.
I don’t think even with +1 to seizing for lights, they wouldn’t be able to score the objective. Lights cannot score objectives per the core rules. The lights will just take it better from mediums and heavies

I’m moreso excited about the new army that might be announced

It's a tricky one, but at the very end of the new rules PDF there is a handy little sheet that directly calls out that this works!
The rule specifically adds a Siezing stand, not just counts as an additional stand.
