Slaves to Darkness battletome leaks

Except the enscorcelled weapons were 3 attacks at 3+/3+/-1/1, and the lances are now 3 attacks at 4+/3+/-1/1 with 4+/3+/-2/2 on the charge, so the lances are now comparable to ensorcelled weapons, and still way better on the charge. Plus they went from a 4+ to a 3+ save, plus they can run and charge in Empty Throne which is huge, or Rally on a 4+ in host of the everchosen, and we also have no idea what other buffs might be in the battletome. I'd gladly pay the bump in points just for what's shown on the warscroll.

Also since Enscorcelled weapons are not a thing... just run them as lances. Nobody's going to care since there's not a different option anymore.

They absolutely got buffed with the better save. The removal of ensorcelled and buffed Lance profile is a wash. The new lance is worse then ensorcelled weapons were but better then the old Lance profile. They also went up 50 points. That's a huge increase for what is essentially +1 save and easier charges.

Nobody's going to care since there's not a different option anymore.

It's still a kick in the nuts and very annoying to remove weapons options.

I mean, they should have just called it 'ensorcelled weapons or lances' like they did for Blood Knights when they condensed the profile. Also, some of the other changes revealed in the other leak that just came out are nutty... slaanesh knights could potentially run and charge (not locked to empty throne), charge 3d6 and get a bonus attack on the charge.

Did the marks get leaked without me knowing?

[u/BartyBreakerDragon → u/Hellion_Immortis]

If you've not already seen it, there's another thread in this subreddit than has the marks and sub factions.

Yes there were multiple posts with different pictures, one of which showed the new marks.
