Apologies for the background noise! My PC was recording from the built in mic and I didnt realize until I was editing, so the audio is much lower quality
Thanks for the review! I agree with pretty much everything you said. Coalesced got the nerfhammer hard because of how good Thunder Lizard was in the previous book. Our monsters (except Troglodon) got nerfed hard overall, as did pretty much everything other than summoning and Slann. GW clearly wants to push the playerbase back towards magic and summoning builds, or they just put the B-team on writing this book. Removing priests and mount traits makes no sense, and we still have fewer subfactions than just about any army in the game. Kroak+Trog combo will be super-strong at first, but like you said all our auto-include units like the Astrolith Bearer, Kroak and the Slann will go up in points and unfortunately I think that will put our army overall in the lower-mid tier when it comes to competitive play. This book feels like it was written primarily as a revenge nerf, but then someone came along and said "hey, don't ruin the *entire* army! We have new models to sell!"
