As an absolute newie to Age of Sigmar, the faction seems quite fun with a lot of little tricks to surprise your opponent with the extra killines or resurrection mechanics. Also love that summoning free units is gone, replaced with continous resurrection and other buffs, one of the factors that I disliked about FEC in the table is that you got to buy extra units to have something to summon. I can't describe how much I adore the new range, and how much I want GW to expand it even more with these cannibal knights. In the negatives, I wish the subfactions werent so "foccus on these type of unit", or that we got more flexible ones like ones that buff your magic or play more on the bravery, as it makes wanting to try other things feel bad as you have to buy other units or play with an army that can't get the buffs.
So conflicted with FEC. I really like the new units but hate the older models. The thought of having to buy the dragon, flayers, and ghouls in addition just bothers me.
The bodies of the models are really good. Heads need work. The ghouls arnt terrible.. there's like 5 of the 11 heads I don't like. But overall I don't mind the sculpts
Really glad the abhorants finally went to 2 damage on their attacks instead of 1, even if they lost a couple of attacks in the process. Still a little disappointed in their combat statline, since in Warhammer fantasy vampires in general were some of the scariest combatants... However at least now i dont feel like they just straight up lose any fight they get into.
Wait, the Executioner has no limit on his ability against heroes? So he can basicly oneshot a mounted 14-16hp hero? Well thats a threat xD I need to say little suprised the courtier heroes are still in but I love the new battletome. Its so extreme fluffy cant wait for my box. FeC were always my favorite army and I have 3500 Points at home. Great Review :D
Most of the super huge heroes have some kind of ability where they turn a slain result into Mortals… but yeah there’s a few that are a really vulnerable to him!
Thanks for the book synopsis Ash. I'm dying (sorry, not sorry) to read the background in that book. I dunno if the FEC background change generated some negativity like the Necron one did years ago, but I love both. Both updates made horrible but dull factions into extra horrible, and hilarious factions. I'm itching to buy that set, but I'm trying to be "sensible"...

Saturday morning review! 🎊 🥳🥳
Lol, that's not Ushron... Glad you caught it after 4 mins.
I'm so tempted to get this set. The only ghouls I have are the Warhammer Underworlds kit.
I really love the fact that the new units are an addition to the army not a replacement for already existing units.
They look solid - not too strong, not too weak. Just perfect.

The drago is really cool but ya rest suck, you can always use city if sigmar stuff to convert it, to lean into the delusion
The new ogor gorgers make perfect crypt horrors, with minimal changes
Tbf you don't have to buy anything you don't want. Probably more than playable only using new models
The bodies of the models are really good. Heads need work. The ghouls arnt terrible.. there's like 5 of the 11 heads I don't like. But overall I don't mind the sculpts
Gorgeous minis and an awesome box
They had me at bat riding ghouls
But I need to say I am a little bit disappointed the hellbard variant of the crypt guard has no special weapon characteristic.

i miss the ability courtiers had in 1st and 2nd were they can roll 6d6 each turn to return up to 6 surfs each turn it sucks that they removed it

Sensible is not the vibe of FEC. Come join the feast!
The cover art is of a gore warden, not Ushron himself.
🥲 you finally changed the intro song, thank god. I have no idea why it made me nauseous, like actually physically nauseous I have no idea why
Same hahahaha. I swear it shortened the life of my headphones too 😂
So... the Grymwatch is gone?!? It´s not like this army had too many units :D
Ghast courtier is 100pts just as superior executoner whom isnt unique.
No point values ? :(
