You're correct, it's 5.

I'm excited for the new CW book, I will be taking a DE core base and heavy support, mixed with CW Altaitoc air wing!

And honestly with the new price of the rangers, you can get VERY cheap sniper support. Always nice.

Vypers also gained Bikers as a trait, so you can Conceal and buff them with stuff like Protect/Empower.

So a standard Windrider is 23 points then? So a total reduction of 7 points? That's decent enough...if the same happens with us then you could assume that your getting an additional Reaver with a Blaster for free compared to now...if you get what I mean.

They can also benefit from Soulburst then.

You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. In what world could you possibly beat me?

Rangers are suddenly very interesting - almost the firepower of Mandrakes, but from safe range and can pick out characters. Could even do a Battalion of 3 Rangers, Autarch with Reaper Launcher and Warlock, which would be a nice character sniping and cheap command point option.

My understanding (I've not seen the book yet) is that Autarchs no longer have options for which there are no models. So no Reaper Launchers anymore.

I guess read that as Ilic Nightspear then. Pity the only long range option appears to be disappearing for the Autarch.

Pretty sure the old Autarch model included a reaper launcher.

But in general cutting out a classic option like that would be a dick move for GW.
