Korean translation tunred out pretty weird

I'm a Korean player, and I recently found out that GW added official Korean translation to their website and the results turned out to be... quite awful. Although I do appreciate GW's efforts for translating the franchise, the translation is so horrible that almost everyone in the Korean community was appalled to even call it a translation.

Just to let you know, it was not an AI slop. because AI slop would have been way better than these outcomes.

For example, they made something up that is not even close to the original meaning. Praetorians/lychguards became 'Necron Protestors', and Royal Warden turned into 'Protest Leader' for some godforsaken reasons. Nightbringer somehow became "Night Fatheren(not father, but 'fatheren')". Lokhust? 'Yellow-insect'.(Yellow-insects are directly translated as locusts in Chinese)

Every GW's product (40K, Heresy, Sigmar, and Old World) has similar or worse translation slapped into their website as of now and I'm very concered about what will happen to the translated rule book at this point, as a single misinterpretation on some of the core rules can effect heavily onto the gameplay.

I really hope the situation gets better.

ps. YES, we reached out to GW when some of these were revealed last month, but all we could hear from them was "we are not able to help directly on this matter."

I only started getting into wargames, and am completely new to the series so I know almost nothing.

KOs looked pretty cool, searched a little bit, and found that a local shop is selling unopened, pre-owned Start Collecting box for roughly around $100.

Is it worth getting the box? or should I just grab a Spearhead box instead? Spearhead is around 118.

As I was building my list for cursed legion detachment, I saw some comments about skorpekh destroyers.

It was mostly about them being hard to hide, move, and engage if they were moving as a whole unit of 6. Some even voted for running only 3 destroyers with a lord and adding another solo lord.

But with the new 11th edition coming up, I saw an official news that the engagement range will be increased to 2" instead of 1.

Do you think using 6 skorpekh destroyers as a whole unit will gain some advantage?
