Otherwise we'll have to wait a whole... 12 hours? I did see a comment that he would be painting up some AKs now, so I'm assuming that they're still in the theme. It'll be interesting to see if the benefits change to support them, otherwise I'm entirely uninterested in an expensive shooting unit with sprays in a theme of cheap shooting units with sprays.

Idk why, but i have a strong feeling advanced move is being replace with ambush on AKs.

That would be extremely good. I'd certainly consider them then, but I'm not going to get my hopes up just yet!

I would love that to be true, but also don't want to get my hopes up! Am I imagining things or was there an earlier spoiler that AKs were going down in cost too?
Cheers, Dave

Interesting, 10/15 isnt much of a change. What is the biggest draw to AKs for everyone? They seem slightly worse than WGK, price wise, shooting, and melee capabilities.

Wait, I thought it was 9/15, if it's 10/15, it means taking a min unit with 3 flamers doesn't change much then and it's mostly what people do with them.

That's all of a muchness, though. As it stands, in WGK, the only thing I can think that they have going for them is that they have some anti-cloud tech. All the extra defensive abilities are nice, but it's honestly pretty rare for them to come up. If they were in Legion of Steel, that would be awesome. The theme is super-vanilla at the moment, so having more options (and specifically an actual shooting option) would be great. I included them in my non-theme lists for a while as a meta pick; two of my three regular opponents were Menoth and Legion back in the day. But even then they weren't actually that useful. They were a bit irritating to kill, but at the same time they lacked the hitting power to kill much back. They were most useful against Primal Terrors; the Blight Bringer can't really hurt them, the Ogrun are easy to hit and don't like no-tough/healing effects. But 90% of the time, when your highly specialised tech doesn't come up, they're just an unimpressive shooting unit. I miss the days when they had three initials and a pseudo-bushwhack order. They were crazy maneuverable.

Here, sand20go said that he believed the point reduction was 9/15, but here it says 10/15. I'd need to listen to the Dev Talk to confirm.

When i heard about the point reduction, I had another look at their card...for the first time in...years? And immediately decided to not look at them for a few more years...
...with Ambush? Maybe? They are still pretty bad...

They are still pretty bad... With ambush I'd take them in a heartbeat. But otherwise they are an expansive unit with low killing power and crappy defensive stats, so yeah still meh. Maybe a min unit with 3 flamers if the flamers are a free option, the no healing the provide can help certain match ups

Surprised folk don't like the no heal more. That's always their biggest draw for me.

AKs are 9/15 per the Dev Talk.
