I'm not really a fan of special characters personally. I always feel a bit dirty about using them for some reason, like they're a bit cheesy, so I wouldnt be fussed if they took them all out.
By the sound of it the units I don't plan on using much (if at all) got nerfed or cut so I'm not really affected by those so I feel quite positive. I'm quite looking forward to rejigging my army in fact and the new warlord traits and orders interest me most of all.
