Thanks for the heads up on this. I’ve never played in an official tournament before, just basement wars with buddies so I messaged Ben to get details. Didn’t know this was a thing.

Oh dear oh dear...
Units can't be longer than they are wide (exception Bretonnian lance formation) Example: If a unit is 6 wide, they can't be 7 deep.
Translation - screw you skaven!
---
Brets get -1 to the roll to see who goes first (instead of forced to go 2nd).
Why do they need to have a negative rule at all? Lol
---
Banner of the world dragon can only be taken on a BSB. Changed to "+3 ward save against all wounds…"
This makes it even better??
---
Mark of slaanesh also grants +1I, but costs +1pt...
What if I don't want +1I??

Just got registered myself. I’ll get to meet a fellow EEFLer out in the wild. Looking forward to a time playing. See ya there.

Ha ha, yes yes. I still don't understand why Brets have a negative rule for the blessing, other than for legacy purposes. "It's always been this way". Especially as they can lose it mid-game anyway.

If the Bret Army prays, the enemy can choose to go first or second turn. The ward save is beneficial enough to trade it for a roll-off that you may lose in any case.

Did I miss something? This doesn't seem like the thread to be discussing rules...

Did I miss something? This doesn't seem like the thread to be discussing rules... These are changed/special rules for the Adepticon convention coming up later this month. It’s got a few different rules to change up some play style is all. Definitely different than RAW, but clearly stated ahead of time. It’s probably just a habit for Fvon to see a rule written out and start quoting warhammer scriptures (which we all appreciate, btw).

Oh, I see. Sorry, I didn't look into the rules for the tournament bit. Too far for me to go so...

World Dragon change is definitely an improvement. Making it BSB only means it's on a 2 wound model that can be removed. Other side of the world so I won't attend but hope attendees have fun!

More to the point, attacks can be directed on it.

As an Empire player, I consider making it BSB only as a step forward, making it 3++ against all wounds as two steps backwards. The BotWD is generally put in a death star that will turn most units (certainly Empire) into mince-meat in CC. I would avoid CC at all costs, while trying to whittle down the death star with shooting attacks (and "instant kill" spells). The BSB cannot be targeted by shooting or will have a 2++ LOS! against templates in any case, but now the other models in the unit will have a 3++, making it more difficult to whittle the unit down.

Because of the ..... i figured it was probably a 3+ ward against all wounds caused by magic attacks or something...if it's all wounds period that's ridiculous.
