Another month of epic battles has gone by, and the ebb and flow of battle continue to change the stage. The Orks have received a brand-new batch of cards, but they are not the only meanies in green getting attention this month. Today’s balance update introduces a number of changes and reworks to some of the least played Sautekh Dynasty cards.
Aside from that, the Genestealer Cults receive a small nerf, and we remind the Ork Nob the meaning of Flank, which he accidentally forgot when a squiggoth trampled him (allegedly).
Together with the balance changes, this update also brings a few tweaks to the new features introduced in the expansion. Check out all the changes below!
