Price cuts for Incindiarii and Arcuarii.
Defensive Formation (Shield wall) feat for Cetrati under Vorkesh.
Scarabs are individual Lesser Warbeasts now (packs are gone).
Slight tweak to Xerxis1 Stir the Blood, makes it more functional?
And Bloodrunners get Ambush natively, but they had it before from theme, so no net change?
Glad they got rid of packs, since their rules were a mess to learn, and the exceptions they got were mind-bending. Thoughts? Do the changes to the first three warrant further inclusion? I love the idea of Arcs, but they've always seemed the less-efficient option.

That is a lot of lessers to buy in one batch.

The price cuts and requisition changes allowed me to fit a brute in both my makeda 2 and xekaar masters of war lists without changing anything else, so I'm happy. I'm still waiting on the void archon release before I go crazy building cyclops/archidon spam lists in DoA.

I played a game last night with X2 and minion beasts abound. Some takeaways: roadhogs and swamp horror both have 15 inch melee threat, the hogs spray can shoot 24 deep. That's crazy. Support bloat even more of an issue with batleboar being present. Thankfully it can function better with the dials no longer needing forcing. Razor boars can give X2 countercharge, which is unlikely with such a big base but hilarious if it goes off because of the knockdown.
I had it available but didn't get to use: one scarab to dig in my other lessers. Agonizers getting dug in should increase survival of them. Though the bug was effectively a 3 point shield guard so I was pretty okay with it's inclusion.

No real changes to his standard immortal list post oblivian for me.

How is the Xerxis1 change?

It just cleaned up wording from first attack to next attack so it plays well with vengence.
