So the examples they used...

a squad of Necron Warriors goes up $2 from $50 to $52, £30 to £31.50, and €40 to €41 (or local currency equivalent).

Right now, in Australia, that box of Necrons is $77. Which means with this price rise, it will probably ending up equalling $236.
No but seriously, the current exchange rate has £30 = $57 AUD. Which means we get an extra $20 'tax' for what exactly?
That $20 equalling an extra 33% cost on top of what it should cost.

That is how bad Australian prices are, and why I used to buy directly from GW Mail Order UK and get it shipped here until they stopped that 15ish years ago.

So the only way that would work is if the combat block behind the missile troops could draw line of sight to the target.

Correct - that was my thinking - but more from a 'what they might have originally intended' kind of way.

The missile troops would declare a charge AND the combat block would also declare a charge. Move the missile troops first, fold the missile troops via drilled to make a pathway for the combat block. Then move the combat block 2nd.

Yeah, I thought that, but didn't really want my crossbowmen charging into combat.

You could also not charge the missile troop by declaring a charge but then drilling into a marching column thus auto-failing.

Are you allowed to do that?
Like I understand if you are already in Marching Column and how that interacts with impetuous because of the pistolier thread, but can you use Drilled to automatically fail a charge?

If so, then perhaps THAT is the combination of rules that allows Drilled on Missile troops to work. Hmmm.

I think what they were going for, probably from an earlier iteration of rules, was for missile troops to be standing in front of combat troops (like a detachment), and then they could use Drilled to move out of the way, while the combat troops (or detachment) charges through the gap where the missile troops were.

Checking the rules, I don't believe that is possible in the current ruleset.... or am I wrong?

Points cost of our infantry, Warrior Priests and Witch Hunters are definitely the most broken parts of our armybook.

New Magic Item: The Arcane Banner, 25 points, this unit's attacks are magical.

We don't need this. Make the Witch Hunter viable, and that's good enough.
