Make Skaven playable for less skilled players like myself

I'd love to see infantry blocks become important again, rather than something you sometimes have to take in order to get magic and monsters and shots.

There is a reason this change was implemented in the 1st place. It created something called "Hero Hammer" if you are UN-familiar with that term, go ask a player from the 90s.

Agreed, it was a gakky time, was the red age, we really must keep away from HH at all costs. Rank and file is where it should always be at.

Given that armies having more importance with rank and file = more minis sold, I suspect GW will grant this wish and make troops stronger still.

My personal wish? Just that GW tries harder to bring balance to the armies, that Daemons get a real kicking from the new rules, as in nerfed into the stone age. I despise seeing those tourney results always coming in with 17 DOC, 2 VC and 1 DE. It must show GW that the army is flawed and overconned.

I second "magic duels"! There's challenges... why not have magic ones? What a great idea imo and it was new to me, at least!

Change combat resolution! I am sick of my squads of 25 state troops loosing combat by 1 and getting chased down and wiped out.

I like the idea of base size determining rank bonus and additional ranks for shooting.

I think the +1 CR for having a wider frontage would be nice. That would benefit my WoC greatly.

Other Wants:
*Changing Reform so that you give up half movement, but may still shoot.
*Eliminate partials on templates (just backing up what is rumored to happen).
*Changing the base Dispel Dice pool. One rumor I read was that for every so many casters, or PD, your opponent has you gain extra DD.
*Lots of scenarios in the new book.
*Change the value of losing/capturing a standard. Maybe 25-50pts for a regular standard. Keep 100pts for the BSB standard.
*Other VP bonuses (character wins multiple challenges, Insane Courage rolls, etc...). May sound odd, but I think it would reward "bravery"
*Clarify the interaction between characters and special rules like ITP and Frenzy. Not probably confusing to a lot of people, but I feel it could be clarified some.

Just some ideas, take them as you may.
