Hi all, just thought I'd jump in with a quick update on how this blog is going to work in the future. Knight Models had a huge shakeup last night alongside their new releases, the way the rules work for tournaments has now changed massively in not too positive of a way. All these changes can be found on the KM website here: http://www.knightmodels.com/en/
As of last night, standard format Batmatch events are now restricted to 2nd edition models only, with the new style cards, and older models are their own "Eternal format". While this is something that is undeniably for the health of the game, it is a bit of a bummer to read. There has been a lot of negative reaction to it on the various platforms for BMG discussion, but the general sentiment from TOs, myself included, is that the Eternal format will be the unofficial standard, because the standard as it currently is favours certain crews far too heavily to make a fair tournament setting. I would not complain at all about the change, because of the wider TO call, but also because if this month is anything to go by, the re-releasing of models is seriously amping up in volume and we're getting tons of stuff redone very quickly.
On top of this, and the main reason I decided to write this post, is that there was a new team PDF released last night. This updated the Suicide Squad, and added 3 new teams (Secret Society, Bat-Family and Team Arrow) but the Teen Titans, Birds of Prey and Secret Six have all disappeared entirely. Because of this, I will not be continuing with any further posts on the teams other than the overviews I have already begun (Birds of Prey, and I am currently working on Teen Titans). I had planned to detail out the whole rosters for these teams, but now that the book and the teams in it are ruled entirely invalid, I don't see as much point in doing so. Should there be a further update to these teams I will continue, but as it stands I will be moving focus to the new teams, and boy are they exciting!
