lare2 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Well, went for it. I've listed all my skellies. Kept hold of my Grave Guard and Black Knights for now, until we know more. Here's to painting more bone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Syf Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I’m considering fell bats. I’ve never considered fell bats in all the years I’ve been in the hobby! (FYI extremely late 5th ed for web, and 3rd ed 40k although I couldn’t care less about the fate of smurfs these days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rare case of reverse scale creep like the 90s Daemonettes that are bigger than both the plastics and the Juan Diaz models. I was referring to the first plastic kits before those became the norm, those are tiny in comparison. Yes the old metals were chunky. I still love my original wights with their barbaric undertones.

Fell Bats haven’t been worth using for years. I can live with the cost and most stats but GW seriously ****** up the range. At the minimum they need to be trashy stats with a 20”. Garbage that can’t maneuver right is better spent on more battleline. I used to run these guys all the time during 6th edition WFB. In AoS Direwolves mostly perform the same function only better.

I think my metal skelli troupe is awesome... the Heavy armor dude with the spear through his chest, the samurai dude, the cloak&dagger stabby. those with the top knot necro were the first minis I painted 👴🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warhammernerd Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 New grave guard, quite possibly. New black knights, unlikely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herohammer Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I hope there will be a way to make either or both bat swarms and/or fel bats battle line. Maybe with a specific general or with a subfaction. I want a horde of bats so that I can say "leesten to thaim, cheeldren of the night. what sweet music they make."

Televiper11 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Any word on Vargheists? I’m in the midst of painting some. Hope they stick around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scythian Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Love the Halloween Town music for the preview. Very Nightmare Before Christmas of them, lol. I think most vampire players wanted the classic gothic vampire army. Blood Knights are insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagash42 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I noticed something during the preview. The skeletons don't seem to have a musician and the zombies don't seem to have a standard or noise maker. They might be losing their always at least 6" charges.

Raptor_Jesues Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) So here's a thing i noticed and since nobody talked about it i wish to bring it up. If you squint really hard you may see some models in the background that look like some kind of glaive weilding infantry of some kind. Now, unless my brain is starting to rot away (and since i live forever i seriously doubt that) there are no such models in the current range so since the colour scheme looks like skellies my money are on polearms graveguard.

Also hopeful that we will get an appropriate context in which to say "Oh, I never drink... wine." 5 hours ago, Nagash42 said: I noticed something during the preview.

Kind of sad to see the old Warhammer tradition of trumpet skeletons come to an end. But I don't know if we can conclude that Skeletons will lose their 6" charge ability. They could just print that on the warscroll, anyway, or it could be an allegiance ability now. I'd personally like it if the 6" auto charge became the signature ability of Deathrattle. I like that flavour for them: Usually slow and shambling, but will suddenly spring to life and attack when they get close to their enemies. Overall, the loss of command models is kind of sad from a flavour perspective, but not actually a big deal gameplay-wise. The upsides provided by command models may look like a bonus, but they are actually worse than just printing the same ability on the warscroll unconditionally. And you can be sure that if a unit has a +1 bravery banner or +1 to run and charge musician, those traits would just be factored into the base stats if the kit had not command models. 11 minutes ago, Raptor_Jesues said: So here's a thing i noticed and since nobody talked about it i wish to bring it up.

I could not make out what is going on in that video before, but that guy on the right sure seems to be holding a Lumineth-sized polearm, doesn't he? Anyway, we know more is coming. There should be a "New Model Monday" today, as well. Let's hope for some more Gravelords action! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW couldn't allow the Doot-Skeleton to continue. He was too powerful! I mean how did he manage to play his instrument without lips?! I daresay even Nagash would struggle with that task! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bademeister Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I loved Grave Guards when LoN hit the Realms. They are good. Maybe they become 2'' Range with 2-handed Glaives. That would bring them back to the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that grave guards problem was durability compared to cost and the fact that they were battleline only in the grand host. 2" range could allow better engagements or even striking from behind zombies or skeletons (wich would be AMAZING) but on the other hand polearms tend to have lower to wound and rend so as i said it depends. If they are at least the same number of attacks of one hand weapons and 3+ 4+ -1 D1 they will be good option. Also i would prefer halberds to glaives so there's that :3 Edited March 22, 2021 by Raptor_Jesues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Arthur Hotep Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I have opened a new thread so that we have all the current Gravelords info collected in one place and don't need to spam the strategy thread for the current Soulblight allegiance with our speculation: Link here! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
