The gorebeast isn't bad. However you need to choose carefully your targets, he can obliterate low save squad but it isn't capable of dealing with 5 libs for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Pusgoyles are up. Really slim article again, but basically confirms same movement as plague drones, and that the unit comes with options for another character, who I presume is the one on the right of the photo.

By character, do they mean a seperate unit too? So you'd end up with 2 Pusgoyles and 1 character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Damn, that makes me sad. That's everything? so I guess no pestigors or anything. And beasts will come in packs of 1?!? What confuses me a little, is that instead of adding more unit options, as we only have 2 battleline, they seem to be adding countless more heroes, a category in which we already had more than enough choices, imo. Regarding the Pusgoyles, it looks like boxes of 2, so if you want the character and a unit, you might have to get 2 boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already built my list for 2018, and have the minis, so I'll be getting the battletome first and maybe some characters, particularly anything that buffs my 60 plaguebearers and 10 BKs, but not sure about anything else.

LLC Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I really just wanted the beasts as battleline or something. I really really really just wanted a 3rd battleline option. I have 30 pbs, 20 more on the way, (so I'm short 10) and 5 kings. I was going to wait until all of the releases are done to buy anything else but as far as kings or PBs go, I can't see a reason to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a battletome is totally different to just a single alliance rule from blightwar. We'll have a huge combination of magics and powers and warscroll battalions along with new point costs and new units. There's no way to tell what will work. Your blightkings and plaguebearers are going to be great because the rules are the same as they are now but you have more characters to buff them and a points decrease for the BKs.

Haven't read enough fluff to know what it might mean for nurgle. Assume they'll discuss it tomorrow? We've got the Beasts of Nurgle and the tree left I think?

LLC Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Yeah. The last few articles have been lackluster, not really telling us what they do so I'm not just waiting for the book to explain it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Thinking about it, I think what they did was: for mortals, who have the kings, the main thing that was missing was a "shock cav" unit, they they just gave us w the pusgoyle guys. Daemons had the drones, but were missing a slower beatstick unit, enter the new beasts. And that's it. My question for those who know more than me, I thought that for Khorne and Tzeench GW basically created almost entirely new army factions for them. (Khorn bloodbound and Tzeench arcanites).

LLC Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'm just saying when I go up against Tzeench arcanites all the models are crazy looking and new. Mostly I think I'm just butthurt that there Gors for khorne and tzeench but not us. Especially when pestigors already existed in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Khorne hasnt had gors since nurgle has. As much as I do want more models, I think this is unfortunately it. As stated, they're all relatively recent releases, with the end times basically being AoS releases. What we have gotten has filled holes with new units, added new characters that will probably make epic synergy, and we finally get command traits and artefacts, and probably keyword fixes. I think people may be right in that GW logic is that, since pestilens is keyword nurgle, we have our beastmen. If they're in the book, we are golden.

There are just a ton of named characters in Rotbringers which some don't like for Matched play or whatever... But if your actully going to count it all there are more options here. Thing is, Nurgle as a Keyword for the Chaos Gods actually has acces to the most units of all within Chaos. You've got Rotbringers, Daemons, Slaves to Darkness and Clan Pestilens. So really asking for more is actually missing the point of how much there alleady is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
