AoS need help with new errata

[theodoris]

Well here they are, the new errata,

Remove the following summoning spells:
• Summon Oldblood • Summon Sunblood • Summon Saurus Warlord • Summon Eternity Warden • Summon Saurus Guard • Summon Carnosaur • Summon Knight Veteran • Summon Saurus • Summon Astrolith Bearer • Summon Saurus Knights • Summon Starseer • Summon Starpriest • Summon Troglodon • Summon Skink Priest • Summon Skinks • Summon Chameleon Skinks • Summon Salamanders • Summon Razordons • Summon Skink Handlers • Summon Kroxigor • Summon Bastiladon • Summon Terradons • Summon Ripperdactyls • Summon Stegadon • Summon Engine of the Gods.

ok, does this mean our slann can no more summon any new units?

 

[Nart]

This simply removes old summoning spells from battletome. Celestial Conjuration mechanics replaced them.

 

[theodoris]

Celestial Conjuration mechanics?

 

[Nart]

Now instead of casting spells Slann can perform a Celestial Rite and recieve 3 conjuration points. Another one goes every turn if slann is the general and another d3 if there is an Astrolith Bearer on the battlefield. When 6 or more points collected, units can be summoned. Every unit has it's own value, like Salamander costs 6 points to summon, while Bastiladon is 24. This replaced old summoning way where summoning spells worked as any other spell.

 

[theodoris]

ok, were can these rules be found?
are they in the new generals handbook?, because that would explain why i didn`t know about this.

 

[Burwinkelito]

Yes, they should be. I cant confirm or deny any of this info since I dont have a copy, yet...

 

[theodoris]

I`m also reading that to summon a unit doesn`t cost you points, so you don`t have to have points in your reserve pool?
so, you don`t need that extra 80 points voor that skink unit you summon.
You only need conjuration points, is this right?

 

[Aginor]

Yes the rules are in the new GHB.
And yes that's correct, no reinforcement points in the whole game anymore.
