Remarks I'll report to him as potential typos or oversights.
- Fleetmaster, by giving +2 movement only to the unit, then Fleetmaster in the unit will still restrict the unit to M5 rendering the ability useless on the charge, useless in close combat. The only scenario in which this can be beneficial is when the character leaves the unit, which means the benefit of WS, ini and stubborn are lost. This is intended?
- Banner of Cold Blood affects all units, which includes enemy units. This is intended?
- Web of Shadows, doesn't state a single use only. This is intended to be reusable in every close combat phase?
- The dragon is made cheaper for the Sorceress but not the Dreadlord? (I get this one)
- The Manticore is made 50pts cheaper for Dreadlord and Beastmaster, but not the Sorceress? (I don't get this one)
- Cold one Chariot costs 115pts. It's marked as a change, but it is the same cost as before.
- Dark Riders cost 16pts. It's marked as a change, but it's the same cost as before.
