Much closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNIBROWshapist Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Does anyone ever choose the Soulreach Grasp on their Blackcoach. 1 attack is rough but it does bring a small something to the shooting phase, and range 3” in combat is something too. Starting to write a lot of lists with coaches and I’m kinda keen on the soul reach idea. Anyone run it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems we're getting THREE new Warscroll Batallions ! There's not much detail though, we'll know when it comes out.

Mordread Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Do we have to buy the WD or will the new battallions be published online or elsewhere? Edited December 6, 2019 by Mordread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greasygeek Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 So a noob question here as I (almost) never buy WD. But when is it in store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greasygeek Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Okay to be honest its beginning to get hard not to get a little hyped for the upcoming battalions. But knowing GW and our current battalions well These battalions might be something like: 1 Lord Executioner 2+ units of 20+ Gravewraith Stalkers. = something cool but not cool enough to make sense.

Makes perfect sense for GW just like the glorious Spirits of Fellblood battalion in the Start Collecting Malignant box with the Mortis Engine. Gee, thanks GW 😅 But nay, these battalions will have great powercreep and singlehandedgly make Nighthaunt competitive again. The winds of Shyish are whispering it in my ear. Not kidding, I'm actually full of hope. Edited December 7, 2019 by The_Dudemeister 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greasygeek Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Also, I always liked the Glaivewraith Stalker models. IF they actially made a battalion including Stalkers that made sense I would find it great news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the 3rd weekend (Saturday on the shelf) of the month? I have a subscription, and it usually lands 2-3 weeks in (with substantial fluctuations time-wise). More experienced hobbyists can probably be more precise, though. 6 hours ago, The_Dudemeister said: these battalions will have great powercreep and singlehandedgly make Nighthaunt competitive again.

Given that both ShroudGuard and ChainGuard are somehow worth taking, my competitive hopes are focused on the Dolorous Guard - it's all in the name! 2 hours ago, Greasygeek said: IF they actially made a battalion including Stalkers that made sense That would require some strong effort, IMHO... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neck-Romantic Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) It wouldnt take toooo much I think. Give Stalkers a 6" pile-in or attack twice mrchanic. You cant take them in overwhelming numbers BUT either of those could make them quite nasty for picking off support heroes coupled with their range and retreat/charge Edited December 7, 2019 by Neck-Romantic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauriv Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 As someone who have a bunch of spirit host and hexwraiths, i would appreciate making them a little better with a battalion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neck-Romantic Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) I have 12 Hosts and 10 Hexes too : P If they get buffed significantly I might boost that up to 18 hosts Ide LOVE to see an Olynder Battalion that boosts their MW to a 5 or 6 Edited December 7, 2019 by Neck-Romantic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greasygeek Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 For my own selfish reasons Argh.. Please do not make Hexwraith a go to unit. Painted up 10 so far and for the love of god I cannot remember most of the colours and blends I did. Same is relevant for Myrmourn Banshees however I do not expect them to be boosted.

Aaranis Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I had 10 Hexwraiths but I changed a squad to be Black Knights instead, I would be a bit upset if they're suddenly good 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmorley21 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I wonder if the picture of models that was posted that says it's Lady Olynder's Emerald Host is a clue for what will be in that battalion. It shows: Lady O 2 Dreadblade Harrows Chainrasp Horde Grimghast Reapers Myrmourn Banshees Black Coach If that combination of units ends up in a battalion, it would at the very least make a low drop force quite possible. The lore text also would seem to imply that the Emerald Host battalion would be a more offensive focused force. All speculation, but I'd imagine that stuff would be somewhat purposeful and relate to the actual battalion rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dudemeister Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 There's also a sneaky Lord Executioner right behind Lady O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaranis Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I believe they're just promo pictures, I wouldn't read too much into it. Though I suppose we'll have at least one Battalion with Olynder in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neck-Romantic Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 One concern; will they be Nighthaunt Battalions or Legion of Grief? Dun dun dunnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dun dun dunnn That is a very good question... hopefully NH, as I believe it’s fair to say that our beloved faction needs some love in order to be brought close enough to where LoG sits in the competitive scenario. On the other hand, people have been complaining (and righteously so) about the (absolute? I know there’s an entire thread about this...) lack of Battalions for LoG since they have appeared, so... Ideally, both - I don’t see a huge problem with any aspect of the Lore that should prevent NH and LoG Battalions not to be taken in one or the other. Back on the speculation train, I do hope one of these three Battalions would indeed involve SHs... one of my favourite unit within the whole of Death - imagine if they could become even more tanky... or - Nagash forbid! - doing MWs on 5+... I shall entertain these silly dreams until reality hits! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you're choosing models for a promo image for that purpose, as I believe it's a new image, I don't know why you wouldn't choose models from the topic in question. 2 hours ago, Neck-Romantic said: One concern; will they be Nighthaunt Battalions or Legion of Grief? Dun dun dunnn Yeah, I'm worried about this. I much prefer the playstyle of NH to LoG even if the latter is better. Also, from a business perspective, I wonder if they chose to strengthen models that don't see much play. If so, I'd expect Harridans to be in a battalion.
