For ork war horde: what do you mean? I'm having trouble parsing that sentence.

If you don't mind my asking - what's driving removing the AA from Colossi & Ordinatus in the Skitarii list?

Also, if we're taking the AA off the Ordinatus, we probably should take it off the Ordinatus Medrengard in the Iron Warriors list, too.

No issues with dropping Defilers down to 400 for 6. Point matching Black Legion would take them down to 6 for 375, but I can see the purpose in a 25 point tax since they're a Core choice.

Whoops, I think I lost track of what I was copying and pasting. It's fixed now.

I misinterpreted Harry on the Discord channel, this change will likely be dropped.

The Marjoris is less of an issue, I put it in there for testing though. The IW is even less than that, being 0-1 in a 3k list and also being that it's a Chaos list where there's a dearth of AA.

Between the Hydra, Colossus, Minoris and potential Titan AA there's no other list that can come close to lacing up a board with AA shots. Coupled with the fact that the majority of those shots can be on shielded WEs it makes it particularly nasty and a bit of a crutch. Most lists get by with 1 ground AA option, AdMech has 4, excluding Titans.
