Referencing the article above, got shown the new ruling for Look Out, Sir! And I'm wondering, who does this change matter to? I had... two? lists that benefited from the previous look out sir rule compared to the new one, whenever I would take a Screaming Bell in my Skaven list, and probably the big one is Katakros no longer getting it. Anyone benefit from having a Monster hero that's 9 wounds and under now getting Look Out Sir? Any other models losing Look Out Sir?

And the big question... Why? At a first glance, it seems like more heroes are going to lose it than will gain it, leaning towards a net buff for shooting.

It is just closing a loop hole where large character models that should obviously not be getting look out sir don't get it. And also future-proofs against any such units in the future.

I'm hoping the rumor "horde" keywords will add more to the LoS! rule and shooting through gives additional -1, its my last hope for not having all my low armor, low wound heroes sniped off the table turn 1.

Is a really weird design spot for Slaanesh. Bladebringer on Exalted Chariot and Glutos loose it, Bladebringer on Regular Chariot keep it. Synessa got Look Out Sir but her sister Dexcessa don't. Would have liked a keyword better.

Would have to update all the warscrolls, but that would make the books less valuable.

Exalted chariot and Glutos are both WAY bigger than a regular chariot, and taller to boot. Didn't notice that bit about the newborn, strange.
