Not a revelator joke. I got a bit curious about the guardians of the temple change: Girded has, to me, never really felt good. It slows our army in our fastest theme, bricks them up unnecessarily close, etc. It's also exceptionally underwhelming and corner case.
Similar statements could be made for the champion at week 3 of CID, and what I consider week 2 of his own( "almost perfect"). Girded, while praised by many for it's reliability in comparison to retaliatory, it still didn't excite anyone and reception was tepid, particularly as the champion is still 8 points.
So the thought is this: perhaps the week 3 reception and feedback was good enough for them to replace girded in both spots, not just one.

Granting tough to paladins within CMD would be interesting. Really high armour, tough, next turn stand up and stance all over again.
That said, monks already have tough, and I find not getting hit at all is better than tanking hits well.

Make use of the shields, give Tactics: Shield Guard
it synergizes with the Stone and Mortar stance and gives them a use for their shields

The reason i think we're getting something big is because after finally getting my issue of no quarter prime, at the end of the magazine there is a huge picture if a protectorate army. I think next issue might be all about us.

Next issue should be Minions or trolls, since blindwater is the current CID and trolls was the last one.

Might just be the theme that went through CID recently... would make more sense for trolls as wouldn't they want to push the northkin stuff?
edit: ditto on taking the pally champ if they give him a better leadership ability. Model is still going to get my money though....

I think next issue might be all about us. It was cool to see some protectorate action but I would rather have seen the a revelator than sad Judi lurking in the back of the photo... makes me think it's an old photo.... and not the prelude to snazziness

Tough to paladins would certainly be better than Girded. No knockdown tough is always good.
