New GHB – Very Hot Takes

So you want a 120-point unit that can deal rend -5 damage to things like Bloodcrushers? Well, you’re in for a treat!

Winners

If you’re a Skaven player, the new GHB seems to have some tasty treats in store for you.

All you’ll need is a reinforced unit of Giant Rats and apply the new Hoarfrost spell to the as you’ll possibly have 24 attacks with -5 rend. Or what about Plague Censer Bearers, with 3 attacks each already hitting and wounding on 3’s, but now with a potential -3 rend and 2 damage?

Orruks are possibly another winner here purely due to the number of Shamans you see in most of their lists. You may find a spare Shaman who could perhaps put Hoarfrost on that screen of Hobgrots so they’re at -3 rend (don’t forget their exploding 6’s to hit)? Or Ardboyz with 3 attacks each, who could now potentially hit on 3’s (with a Sloggoth nearby) and wound on 2’s potentially….

In Soulblight, you always have your Zombies, who could now potentially hit on 2’s with mw’s on 6’s.

Chaff units in general now become a force to be reckoned with…

We may see Khorne players spending a lot of their Blood-Tithe points on improving their Hatred of Sorcery.

Losers

At this point, possibly Fyreslayers and Kharadron. Hopefully, allied wizards will also be able to use the spells, and they won’t count as Enhancements in any way.

Wishes

Extra victory points for killing ANDTORIAN LOCUS wizards could be a nice touch that also brings some balance.
