Cool cool!
So I guess that's going to be Greylord Adjunct, Bane Knight Officer, Initiates of the Order of the Wall, and the Clockatrice.
Which may mean tweaks to Wolves, Dark Host, Faithful Masses and... Menagerie, I guess? That said, apart from Wolves those are all very popular themes. Maybe there won't be much tweaking for them.

10 points and Sacred Ward is my vote. Possibly 9 points if you want to get saucy.

I doubt the base unit will get Sacred Ward. If Doomies get Sacred Ward, then Precursors MUST get Sacred Ward, and at that point there's, what, a couple of models left in the whole game with Spell Ward?
I think there might be a small chance that the UA might get Sacred Ward though, because then there's cost and counterplay for the rule then. Still sounds unlikely to me; it's been my impression so far that PP have not been particularly willing to give legacy Khador models drastic rule changes (at least not drastic buffs, not without the addition of a new model), and swapping Spell Ward for Sacred Ward is a HUGE change.

I don't think Doom Reavers swapping Spell Ward for Sacred Ward is ever gonna happen. Even the CA getting Sacred Ward is very unlikely. I can potentially see a Butcher or Zerkova getting the ability to target them with friendly spells, but that's all.

I'm pretty sure it'll just be a points drop. As it's only a 2-week one, I think they'll keep it as simple as possible. I reckon it'll follow the formula of 1 new model, 1 legacy thing, and theme force tweaks.
12 points would let you get 6 units in 75 points, 11 points is the same with more room for support. I reckon 12 initially, then people will moan forever about it, and then we might see 11.
But we'll find out tomorrow!

I actually don’t think they need Sacred Ward. I’d love them cheaper, perhaps with a point of P+S more, and a better CA. If the CA had a spell that gives a defensive buff (I.e. concealment) to the unit, I think I’d consider it more often. Difficult to use on a fast melee unit though...
