Hey all, I was just flipping through the Free Peoples book and noticed something peculiar. I was comparing the Gandalfs, and noticed that Gandy the White doesn't have Sorcerous Blast under his spells. He also lost his Defence increase and his "The White Rider" special rule granting him extended Stand Fast! Was this intentional, or a mistake? For 50 points more, I can't think of much justification for taking Gandalf the White...

The FAQ/Errata gave him back the Sorcerous Blast.

He never had a defense increase. So no, he didn't get nerfed.

Whoops, he lost that in the transition from Return of the King to One Rule Book. I've never, ever used him so I never even noticed. He did have a 12" Stand Fast in the ORB though.

There's already been an errata for the Warbands books? Holy Devlan Mud, that was fast!

In any event though, he doesn't seem to be worth the increase...

Does anyone know where said errata for the Warbands is? I would certainly like to take a look at it...

Gandalf is now much less nerfed, imo. I can see reason to bring him- even though I prefer the grey, or just bringing Saruman.
