AoS NEW *rumor*

I don't think, that any army relies heavily on magic to deal damage. Even tzeentch and seraphon have flamers and salamanders, while can target with spells other units

Mwha, plenty of lists where the magic users do the heavy lifting. Sure You'l rarely see say Kroak without some salamander or buffed skink friends. But being sure that Kroak won't really be able to touch Kragnos does simplify your strategy a lot as it makes it very obvious what you should focus down first (namely those salamanders). After all Kragnos simply goes from having to deal with 3 threats to say having to deal with 2.

It's not enough to dominate a tournament. But more than enough to be a potentially very frustrating experience for an opponent that made magic focused lists.

Nart said:
Well, even low tier army like Legion of Grief and Gloomspite can find a way to stall it. I just really can't see what Kragnos can give any current destruction army, except GSG. I think, if meta can deal with Archaon, it should be able to deal with Kragnos too with not much problem.

Yeah, I doubt he'l be popular in tournaments (unless he's stupidly cheap). So in that sense he's "fine"

Nart said:
A way to deal with such a threat exists since the first day of AoS (and even predates that in wargaming as whole, I guess) - if something is too much effort to deal with - stop it with something cheap and ignore. And what really kills kragons for me is 10 move without fly/run and charge. There is literally now way to charge anything for him, if he goes first.

O sure, but that's extremely lame. Which is kind of my point. Either you immeadiatly shoot him of the table (which is lame for the Kragnos player), get him stuck in screens (which again is lame for the Kragnos player) or he murders everything he touches effortlessly (which again is lame, though this time for his opponent).

i don't even think they will have problems with him. he is slooooooow and any thing with rend will eat him alive

Problems, no probably not. But I can imagine certain opponents will end up simply finding him annoying annoying to deal with. Especially if you play an army that doesn't have much in the way of cannonfodder or shooting.

A bloodthirster of insensate rage hitting all 6s to proc outrageous carnage an absurd amount of times. Myself.

Bloodthirsters are hilarious. One of the swingiest units in the game. They'll either table you on the double-turn pretty much single-handedly, or miss everything and get shot off the table immediately afterwards.

looks like he lost his ward, got worse at generating CP, got nothing new in the casting department, has a truly terrible summoning ability, and is now to fat to sit on a bale wind. in exchange he got 3 more hit points +1 save and 2 command abilities that we don't know what they do yet but might be awesome. but over all a biiig debuff for kroaks new model
there goes GW phoning it in again.

Well, my heart fell in pieces when I saw the Summoning ability and the CP generation and automatically said Kroak went from 100 to 0.

I don't have a big expectation but still...

wtf is that... I hope this is a joke ...

it is very much a joke that every one fell for. this is a expertly crafted troll
 
I want a 10" move 10 wound kroak, blazing into battle followed by a massive army of status guard. I like the idea of him being too fat for a balewind and not castles up all the time.
