7th Ed. Yet another post-game analysis of 8th ed!

Something else I just remembered, no more "half the unit cost" VP's for depleted units...

Also, standards are worth 25 I think, there are no capturing quarters and the margins for victory/draw etc are now not so big. You get a small number of points if a champ kills a hero which is nice...but ultimatly yes, harder to score VP's now, gotta wipe stuff out...

I found out about this one in the last game I played. It was 1500 points vs warriors of chaos. At the end of the game, he had 3 models left on the table:
-His Lord(in combat with 2 blocks of Saurus, 1 in front, 1 in flank, for at least 5 rounds of combat and still unwilling to die)

-A single Chaos Knight from a unit of 6

-A single Chaos Warrior from a unit of 20-ish

When it came to tally up VPs, I was figuring that I'd have somewhere between 1100-1300 VPs, since everything left was below half strength(one wound left on the lord)...I ended up with about 650. Thankfully all he managed to kill was my scar-vet, 10 skink skirmishers, and 5 chameleon skinks, so I still won by about 300VPs. If he had been able to rout one of my Saurus blocks, however, the game could have totally ended in a draw. Apparently pick on something till it's dead is the new MO.
