Credit - Dru Moore, Kings of War Fanatics FB Group, who has listed the following changes in the Big Red Book, that have been identified at time of publishing the Pod -

Here is what I've seen people state so far. Feel free to add others for the list in comments, or correct/update what I have so far. (Just waiting for those who got their books to spill...)

NERF

• Soul Reaver Infantry: -5 attacks, -20 points
• Soulfayers: Reduced to speed 8
• Caterpillar GOOOOOOOOONE
• Lord on Frostfang -1CS, +1TC (so CS2/TC1)
• Spell Host Shadowbeast nerfed (but maybe also a buff in use? - so maybe neutral change overall?)
• Gladestalkers price increase 140/185

BUFF

• Jesse's Boots also gives Pathfinder when activated
• Hellfane [1] hero upgrade in the AD list (not Rat Slaves). 'Abomination Iron-Caster Overseer', Gain Aura (Lifeleech +1 - Abomination only) for +15 points.
• Silverbreeze -20 points
• Some worm riders buff ? (+nerve???)
• Elf bolt thrower buffed (causes Spellward?)
• Giants buff (I think now have BOTH rampage & slayer?)
• Phoenix -50 points (but apparently rule/stat changes so nerf too - so maybe neutral change overall?)
• Halfling cav points drop (no other deets yet but YAY!!)
• EoD Undead Wrym - 35 points (down to 180)
• Halfbreeds got 5 points cheaper and the berserkers can have an ensnare (inf and heavy inf only) upgrade. [Unsure if this is Ratkin Slave list only or also AD]

OTHER

• Changes to Withdraw (optional rule?)

ERRORS

• Scorchwings now regular! [Per Kyle P post this is an error in the book and will be FAQ/updated in app etc. Seems your time in the sun was short lived, Scorchies!]
• Hellfane upgrade for AD has a hero called ('name tbd') in the text. 'Abomination Iron-Caster Overseer' IS a bit of a mouthful... [Me: Suggestion for Kyle Przelenski have a competition for best painted Hellfane and let that person name the character for the ebook/app update]

Also, if anyone wants to help us, design assets for making Kings of War, Firefight, Deadzone maps, please get in touch with the show!
