Furuzzolo Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Am i the only one upset from the Skaven faction focus? I was hoping for some kind of "macrofaction" or something, not a discount to ally Skaven to a Skaven army or the silly *5 clanrats summon with the spell*. The hell am i supposed to do with 5 clanrats?! ? maybe i'm too biased about it but i was hoping for more then 6 clanrats and a verminlord with 12 on two dices.

That kind of news wouldn't be announced by a post on a website. If it's ever happening it will be at a show with a new battletome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furuzzolo Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Why not? A Skaven alliance ability with stormvermin and clanrats Skaven battleline. To play Skaven tematic i'have to pick chaos and use 120 clanrats... At this point I'm just whiny and I'll stop. I just always hope for more Skaven love...

Kirjava13 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Well we still can't play a thematic Skaven army but it's fine, Thanquol's a bit cheaper now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayple Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Eh, I'm not concerned All they did was tell us a bunch of stuff we already figured out, and cleared up some potential confusion regarding Verminking's spell (since it is currently VERMINUS models that are set up. i.e: Warbringer) Doesn't mean we don't get anything in the new handbook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Profit I'm wondering how expensive Predatory spells are points cost wise. can you use the new spell with combination with those? Also wouldn't it be scary if some stuff couldn't be dispelled. Like lets say you summon a sun that eats stuff or a metor to drop on the ground, it won't just stop falling down, because you waved a wand at it.

michu Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 If I understand it right, it works like that: you can cast endless spells in any realm, but in their realm of origin they are stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No your not the only one upset at all. i was also hoping for some news like points reduction for clanrats and Stormvermins or some kind of a fully renewed warscroll (for the screaming Bell maybe) but yeah at least we got a review I guess?

Skreech Verminking Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Well the last thing Gw said about the skaven is very, very interesting : In short, there are good times ahead for the skaven – if you’re looking to start your army, why not grab a Verminlord? (Maybe a hint of a future skaven battletome) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Just a question that I ask myself....: can we spend the spell in the order we want in the magic phase or do we have to spend ALL the spells of fist wizzard, then all from the second, then... I mean, can I do 2 spells from nagash, then 1 from necro then 3 from nagash etc... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I don't know the skaven but I love their minis: problem is the mix of all skaven factions...because I love their machines and techno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well playing a mixed skaven list makes fluffwise more sense than just a skaven skyre list (for some reason those guys lost there meatshields (slaves, and clanrats)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michu Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 That's why I think it would be good to make special matched play rule for Clanrats as allies: they can be used as one battleline choice for any Skaven Allegiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be much less inclined to buy the purple sun if I could only use it whenever I happen to roll Shyish on the realm table They have a realm keyword at the bottom, I take that as an indicator. Either way, we are still missing a lot of information about matched play and what is and what is not allowed. If these spells are totally unrestricted and available in any quantity (which I doubt), armies without access to wizards are gonna have a bad time. On top of feeling like a cheap move from GW to sell models (no point costs, ergo bordering to mandatory). I can see tournaments rejecting these realm rules and spells. The same way they ignored several other expansion and campaign books in the past (not strictly revering to AoS). Again, we are pretty much kept in the dark and GW is not gonna change that until we bought the book. So, I'm only mildly alarmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 @GeneralZero Depends on clan: - Clanrats are GA Chaos battleline - for Skryre - Acolytes and Stormfiends - for Verminus - Stormvermins - for Moulder - Giant Rats and Rat Ogors - for Pestilens - Plague Monks and Censer Bearers - for Eshin - Gutter and Night Runners.

robinlvalentine Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 The reference to wizard bounty hunters is interesting. This probably won't happen, but it'd be cool if, in the style of the Malign Portents Harbingers, they put out four new wizards (one for each allegiance) who specialise in Endless Spells, and can ally with anyone in their allegiance - so everyone has at least some access to the new toys. I'd love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skaven need badly new models and rules that you don't have to use old metal models as battleline if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
