seems for me its time to hold off on getting more infantry, and find me some cheap ebay jacks

That's why I was thinking of getting the other guys; to round out the squads to max. I have the same issue with my Highshields too, actually. Hrmn...

I didn't think it would be, but my spending is actually going to be impacted.

First, I have to buy (or sell) two Bane Knights and two Bane Thralls since my units no longer function at 8 models.

Second, I will not be getting the Bloodgorgers any time soon, if ever. With the loss of their flavor-full blood token mechanic, I see little reason to get them since I already have Mechanithralls, Satyxis, and Bane Knights and Thralls.

Third, I need Necrotech or two and maybe even a Machine Wraith.

Fourth, a Reaper might be fun now. It can now drag large based models, and has the RAT to actually hit heavy Jacks.

Fifth, Stalkers are insanely good and incredibly cheap. I might just buy two.

So, all in all, this is gonna hurt my wallet.

I'm glad I didn't buy the Assassins. I'd be mighty pissed right now if I had.

Does the Manhunter really only have one axe now?

No no, the Manhunter still has two axes. However a quick glace at the card might fool you. There is only one Ax stat line now, but the icon for it has an (x2) symbol on it.
Since the location of the Manhunter's axes does not matter (as opposed to Drago's two axes on different arm systems), the second stat line has been removed in favor of the (x2) symbol. You will see this type of change across the board. See Pistol Wraiths for a similar example. Its all part of the "streamlined" approach.

Yeah, look for the x2. It's kind of faded on the pdfs.

**greenskin lynn**

you know, now that people are disliking the bloodgorgers, i bet i could snag a box cheap on ebay, and then i could use them for champions with a bit of work

**Bat Manuel**

I always hated buying infantry and now I don't have too...so I'm happy.

Ah, my bad. Gawd I hate these icons...
