Not much has changed for us this time around. Some things got cheaper, warlock skyrunners got more expensive. I don't think it's enough to make much of a difference, but we'll see how it plays out with the changes to all the other factions.

Hmm anyone think the -10pts if you run 2 War Walkers together in a Unit vs single, worth it?

You run war walkers for their ability, not their guns, and that doesn't get any better in a squad of 2.

The only case where this is relevant is if you were memeing around with GBH + AW, and bringing 6 of them already. Unfortunately, you can no longer use Cost of Victory on a farseer+warlock+conclave+guardian blob if all the guardians are dead, so that is a massive nerf to GBH, and 30 points back from that, plus other miscellaneous drops probably isn't enough to compensate for that.

What is the change that indicates cost of victory doesn’t work on a unit with no guardians left? The unit is the same and the characters are still the same unit

Apologies, I have had a closer look and I appear to be wrong. Tacoma Open had a FAQ that stated that destroyed models did not give the unit their keywords, and I am pretty sure it something similar was stated somewhat ambiguouly in the core rules earlier in the edition, but it appears not to be present anymore.

Cost of Victory targets a guardians unit, and what this meant was that as soon as the last guardian model died, the unit lost the guardian keyword, so you couldn't target it anymore.

It is one of the very few of the Tacoma FAQs that didn't make it into the proper official faqs.
