The pdf has been updated with the corrections: -Specified you can use your faction's core battalions -Cleared up the disallowance of faction stratigies/tactics -Fixed the unsightly table bleed Left the extra player 2 CP for the moment but I guess we'll have our eye on it since it's a significant balance lever that might be a bit too tilted to one side. Plan is to have the mission up for the weekend so people can review if they want before planning their game. The way we have set it up does permit people to tailor lists but uh... you know. Please don't go overboard on counterlisting your opponent, we're running on the honour system

I forget that faction battalions are even a thing. Are they legal in regular matched play? I don't think Beasts got any in the WD, and the old ones in my book definitely don't work any more. Not something I need to care about at least. Every list will have exactly one warlord battalion. No more no less, as is right and proper.
I will definitely not change my unit choices based on my opponent. But maybe I wont take all the rend spells if I know I'm playing nighthaunt...

I'm just going to play my soulblight list I've been working with for the past month or so, regardless of who I'm matched up against. Only way to learn how to play the list better.

For "The Last Argument of Kings" battle tactic, can it be scored by any model in your army that is "treated as a general", or only one that you picked to be your general?

Are the points updates in that new battlescroll in play?

At least assuming all such models follow the wording on Kragnos which should, afair, also work with the official battle tactic that one is modelled after. If being "treated as a general" didn't let you count as "the model picked to be your general" then it would kinda break and not work for almost anything general related.

Would unnecessarily complicate things not to use the current battlescroll (which is battlepack agnostic). Especially since the league hasn't started yet. If major rules changes are introduced part way through we will re-evaluate but I expect it will also apply by default.

Mike is messaging people their matchups today - the chart is up on my post for when results start rolling in. The editor decided the entire table should be a hyperlink to the drive so that's interesting.
Mission is up as well, it's a pretty basic one to start us off- Rising Power essentially unchanged from the Contest of Generals. We have some very new players so a simple battleplan seemed the way to start out and it's a fairly interesting one.
Obviously let me know if there are errors I need to correct.

What is the best way for us to report the results from our games? You can message Mike on here or directly and he'll tell me what to put in the sheet! Edit: You can also put them in this thread if you want to revel in the glory

The Daughters of Khaine managed to eke out a small victory over their former allies the Stormcast Eternals 23-21. I had a great game against Tyler and it really came down to the very end. I had one unit remaining on the board, and everything else was dead. Lots of rules and unit abilities forgotten on both sides! Highlights were the Shadowqueen just barely managing to do a single wound to a squishy stormcast character who was on his last wound and Morathi killing a stormcast with a spell, then having the thunder strike armour kill her in return.
With the storm cast exploding on death and the snake girls fighting on death there was lots of "I kill you, you blow up, and kill me, I fight on death, kill you, you blow up, kill me, and I fight on death." Which lead to some very bloody combats, and not much left after the first two turns.
