I popped in on the CID forum this morning and was interested to find what the long-speculated Stormlance nerf is looking like. Granted - nothing is final yet, it's still in CID - but the Stormlance nerf is currently looking to be swapping out Laddermore's Electro Charger for Veteran Leader [Storm Knight].
This is interesting for a few reasons. First off, the Lances' shots go back to RAT 6 POW 12. But it also gives a good reason to include Laddermore with Stormblade Infantry.

I think it's a solid change (assuming that they don't get more nerfed, dear lord I made it three pages into reading the dev talk before the salt got to much for me.) They keep maneuverability, they are still really solid against hard targets, they just aren't set up to eviscerate everything like they were before.

Currently Laddermore has lost electro charger and gained veteran leader storm knights, and the lances have lost e leaps on the guns only, and have gained a pow on the lances. The general theory is that they want to make them less of a 'pseudo-gunline that can deal with literally everything' to a hard hitting Melee unit with gun capabilities that specializes in killing hard targets.

Oof. Losing Electro Charger feels fine (I don't own Laddermore) but losing E-leaps on the gun kinda sucks.

Before they had the ability to just leverage movement to shoot out key models and e leap to the support behind them. Also on the assault charge, each lance had a maximum of impact, charge, assault, e leap, e leap, so 5 attacks per model, and that was a little silly. |

Yeah looks like the guns will now be pow 12 (14 FF) range 8 with a RAT 5 (6 Ladder, 8 SS). Assaulting arm 18 worth rolling. Assaulting arm 20+ maybe not.

That's correct. From what I've heard, the shot has lost e-leap, but the melee attack retains it. Also, the lance's POW will go up by one from POW 13 to 14, making the brutal charge into POW 16.

Ah! I had heard the melee attack with lance lost it as well. I was going to be very sad if they lost e-leap on the melee attack.
