Since allies don't count when calculating battlelines then I should be able to ally other skaventide units in a pestilens army. This whole rule of "all units must be pestilens" don't apply to the allied units and scroll builder shows this as well. The question then is whether or not they get to benefit from the skaventide allegiance. Say I ally some ratling guns and a warlock engineer, will they get the skryre warp sparks? They have the correct keyword so really it should not be a problem, right?

Can someone explain how adding 1 to the damage characteristic of attacks with D3 or D6 damage in their characteristic works? Is it still possible to add 1 damage to these attacks or is there some wording that prevents it? Thinking about adding damage to doomwheel attacks and the like.
-
About the doomwheel's new move characteristic, it says "you can reroll the 4d6 that determines its move characteristic. If you do and the roll contains any dice with an unmodified roll of 1 then your opponent carries out the normal move." Does this mean i can reroll any one or more dice or do i have to reroll them all?

Do we even know the exact wording on the battleline requirements?
-
Isn't this confirmation that pure skryre armies CAN ally with any skaventide units? Allies by GWs own definition do not break the army allegiance, meaning the "battleline if army is skryre allegiance" would still be intact when taking skaventide allies without the skryre keyword.
-
Exactly. I'm not going to start the doomsday whining just yet. A lot of changes are scary and could end up detrimental, but most are interesting. Let's hope some synergy is in there so we don't get shafted by all the nerfs to shock gauntlets and multiple plague monk banners.
-
Exactly. From what I can see in the list page in the review video there's a small box saying allies: skaventide. Which should at least point to armies with specific keywords being able to ally a number of other skaventide models. That means pestilens only lost the ability to ally nurgle.
-
@angrycontra are you sure they lose the ability to take allies? Because that would just go against the entire philosophy of the game. I would assume you could do with plague monks as battleline along with allied skaventide units in a pestilens army, no? Where is the rule that disallows this?

Regarding the new direction of the Grot faction, i wouldn't even need for GW to give skaven the full new release treatment to be happy. I would be very happy with a complete consolidation tome and a couple new units and spells. New units, endless spells or some kind of gnarlmaw mechanic that allows for board mobility, like a gnawhole or spawn pit to deploy your units with. But i don't need a full release like nighthaunt or grots got. Units i would like to see would be something along the lines of: New eshin models. Some kind of lesser verminlord daemons. Bigger warmachines for skryre, like a big drill or the twin tail comet machine from total war 2. Maybe some new plagued pestilens rat ogres or explosive bloated rats. I would also like to see something completely new like the rumored skybound skaven with flying machines. Now that i think of it, i want lots of new models! I wouldn't mind waiting either.
