Well given the battle report uses 3500pts and the few games played at the club - it looks like a 3000pt game plays in the same time that the 7th edition 2000pts played.
NOTE:
WD has the tournaments dates posted and WFB is still going to be 2000pts.
So guess will still be playing a lot of 2000pts to get in practice for that.
Will be interesting to try old style armies vs new formations and see how they perform.
My Skaven are hardly changed - addition of some more Plague Monks to get 40 strong horde unit, loss of a Warlock Engineer.
Whereas my Vampire Counts army is total change as having to take 500pts of core instead of 3 units of 10 Skeletons.
As to purchases to bulk up my armies not really needed - just need to get some more models painted.
Currently collection stands at:
Beastmen 4000pts
Bretonnia 2000pts - Only army really lacking in size
Dark Elves 4000pts
Dwarves 4000pts
Empire 9000pts
High Elves 2500pts - New Box Game will be useful here
Daemons of Chaos 10000pts
Warriors of Chaos 4000pts
Lizardmen 3000pts
Ogre Kingdoms 2500pts
Orcs & Goblins 3000pts
Skaven 6000pts
Tomb Kings 3000pts
Vampire Counts 10000pts
Wood Elves 4000pts
Dogs of War 4000pts
Chaos Dwarves 3000pts
