Where is the Storm Division update?

So the update (of the Themes) is in the Playstore, you need to uograde the app from there once.
The point discounts are already in, but the Themes come with that update (and you need to switch to "oblivion Themes" in the main menu. Then you have access to Themes with the requisition system.
I didn't think that there were more "power upgrades" coming, just a few point drops. And unyielding is now on all stormknights, maybe that is what they meant?

I think the Guard are one of the Reasons why Hungerford made that statement, that not everything is going to get overhauled, but just a few things and that they have the rest "on the radar". I am really suprised that Blades got cheaper actually. It is welcome sure, but they were in a good spot (ok they lost AD). I think stormuard just needs to lose tactitian and gain pretty much any rule instead to become interesting. Evene more so than any UA, because tactitian is very much redundant with what the Captain gives.

My guess is that they were thinking about the blades, because they had a Theme benefit before. I also think that Stormguard (and also regular long gunners, Rangers?) are a juicy CID opportunity. It is not game breaking so it is not urgent. But it is a little sad that the guard gets another layer of dust. I am really looking forward to using them at one point... You know after painting the entire unit... T.T

I am somewhat excited for Storm Divison non the less! Can squeeze in an additional UA in most cases!

They said for a lot of factions that more "actual" changes were in the pipe line, but they wanted to see where the new themes and point reductions would settle in the meta. They didn't want to take the risk of introducing buffs into a volatile meta that would turn out to be overpowering in the end. That sounds like a sensible idea, seeing as there's only so much testing time to go around, but I understand that it leaves people a bit disappointed.

Sadly even if they were 7/11 I doubt they have a place for us. Unyielding is only meaningful if they are actually in melee with them. So either...

-They are effortlessly slaughtered by the enemy ranged attack - DEF 12- and ARM 16- are not able to withstand enemy fire without buff
-You must give Arcane Shield to them, and your only heavy warjack will be dismantled by the enemy before do anything or lure enough bullets.
-You must pick the caster with good buff to protect them.

And, even if you can manage their flaw, Stormblade Infantry does far better when delivered, and their Officer have Iron Zeal as well. While what Stormguard Infantry can is simply killing infantry, but for this we can do it by the ranged attack, which is far easier and faster.

That's why I said simple point discount will not save them. They aren't expected to discounted to Mechanithrall level, or they are outclassed and no one need their corner case advantage.

I agree. However, I think at 7/11 I would at least "try" them. Most of the Caster you will pick in SD are going to help fix their issues (Stryker1, Stryker2, Maddox, etc.), and at that kind of cost you can throw them in with limited impact. Would not be competitive by any means, but at least it would be worth throwing them in for a spin. 

My point really was just that, without any change, they aren't even worth looking at. At least with a point reduction we might want to dust them off for an attempt...even a doomed to failure attempt. 

I don't think Stormguard will be playable until they give up on making them 12/15 SPD5 single wound infantry. A SPD5 frontline unit with no significant defensive tech is stupid. PP would have to make them so cheap they would be broken if they kept this exact statline.

My kneejerk suggested fixes for Silverline:

SPD 5 to SPD 6

Polarity Wall changes to a mini-feat that doesn't require being B2B.

Drop the leader's gun and just have Electroconduction damage buff apply to the unit's melee weapons on a hit.

Normally - I would agree with you. However, in the case of the Stormguard you are literally risking nothing by making a small incremental change to create experimentation. Stormguard are not making an impact on the meta (as they currently stand) whether they are the current cost, or they are 7/12, or 8/13. All you are doing is throwing them a bone, and hoping that a few players get some enjoyment out of the mix. 

Only time, IMHO, that these small incremental changes to "see what sticks" are bad is with units/models that could change the game. Otherwise, it's just gravy.  

It also kind of sucks that these are the Unit for Cygnar in one of the old two-player battleboxes. Lots of us (myself included) got saddled with a set of Stormguard without knowing they would never be useful....[/Cry]

You are not alone sir, for a long time.
