new FAQs on the way
« on: August 01, 2012, 01:09:18 PM »
I'm sure it comes as a suprise to no one that FAQs are being rolled out in the next couple months possibly to coincide with the release of the new starter set. But here is the article

I call BS if that rumor in the article about purifiers going up in point cost is true, it's not like they got a buff in 6th edition

Likely they will be the same amount of points, but have their power nerfed in some way.

They're not that good.  I barely ever use them.

There's really not a lot you can do to nerf them before they just become a basic strike squad

They get 2 attacks
Halberds cost 2pts
Purifying flame which is already a 4+ to would

I loved purifiers in 5th edition, but now that rhinos are made of cardboard i haven't been taking them that often and certainly not in the numbers i used to

I'm gonna just chock it up to rumors anyway, remember when 6th edition was going to have assaults before shooting and such?
