V4 looks to me like a late legion/early warband list.  I think it's going to be most in keeping with what the majority of people will expect from a WE list.

V5 is an interesting concept.  It would be fun to try it as a base for some kind of daemon-focused warband.  I don't think it's necessary to revise all the summoning rules, though.  You can just add the Pact to the formation, e.g. Berzerkers - Skull Lord, 8 Berzerkers, Pact.

Edit:  Too many threads to keep up with.  I posted some thoughts about direction in the "development concerns" thread.

I would prefer to have the option of picking daemons or not. Don't include the DPact as part of the unit.

Leave the "choice" up to the players.

Notes on 4.0

There's no such thing as a "Charge" action, it's called "Engage".

The "using the army list section" mentions the bloodpack upgrade allowing characters on slaughterfiends. Bloodpack is a support formation, not an upgrade, and is allowed no upgrades of its own, so this makes no sense. Hangover from a previous list I presume?

Overall the list seems much more clear and logical to understand than the previous version.

No comment on costs, stats for now.


I'm not a fan on the mandatory daemon route of 5.0

Good pick ups Zombo. My fault as I was working on 3 documents at a time

I have to look at the front page of V4.0 and update it to be more in line with what V5.0 has (removes all the details that you advise).

Engage to replace Charge - silly me - will get that done also.

Thanks

I'd say this poll is fairly conclusive :)

Yes, I would agree to that.

I will close it off later tonight or tomorrow.

Here's an example of list that I'd think to use

I think the fact that the list has different points as advertised would indicate that I need to do something about the limitations on the Terminators and the Chosen. I may just place them into an 'Elite' section so as to get past the confusing format I have used.

Essentially the example was underpriced if the names were correct.

I think that there should be some units with ranged weapons included in Berzerker formations.


Well this is where we differ in opinions. I see that this one will go 'to the wall' if I start it so let's leave that for a future decision. I would prefer someone at 'arms length' to make this call when we seek a final direction for the list.
