Yup, but with this Merc group I can also grant them a free 6" move. Depending on how much extra it costs to do that, it could be a nice little bonus to us.

The problem with allies for Nurgle is that unless they already have the Nurgle Keyword lots of our abilities hurt or hinder them so for the most part we only take Pestilens or StD units. We'll have the same problem with mercenaries... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernNurgling Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 As someone who has been holding out for a darkoath release since Malign Portents, this is a little worrying. Can someone please talk to the dark whisperings in my head that GW might tease out Warcry releases for a few months then have a Xmas release for darkoath? If I don’t get my hands on new models soon I’m going to have to start painting landscapes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaves to Darkness have expanded allegiance abilities in the new GHB, so I'm afraid that Darkoath is probably a fair way away yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a bad thing - when you finish it Darkoath will definitely be in stores. And @Charlo - as some people already said, Brayherd had Abilities in GHB2018 and still got a battletome shortly.

Forrix Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 15 hours ago, alghero81 said: Most interesting thing they mentioned is the digital version of the booklet with the pitched profiles for free. Most disarming thing they mentioned is the reason why there is a digital version: they finished the GHB before Gloomspite was completed so the points for them and all other books afterwards are not included. Everything else is already mentioned somewhere else, they put emphasis on the small format games so here hoping the 1000pt games on a dining table will actually be strategically relevant I find it hard to believe the GHB was finished before Gloomspite. Especially since they were asking for points feedback for the GHB in December when Gloomspite would have already gone to print. If anything I think having the points as a separate booklet would allow them to hold off on finishing points adjustments for a bit longer. As for the cut off-I'd think about 3 months before the GHB was released so March-ish. I think FEC and Skaven will be the big question since they're probably close to the cut off and major over performers (especially FEC). Unless they give out massive points reductions for most factions I think they're going to get major push back if they don't touch FEC. I'm curious about Maggotkin of Nurgle, Nighthaunt, and Gloomspite as they are AoS 2 battletomes that seem to be behind the power curve of the other new edition battletomes.

That’s what was said in the video that then disappeared, as it was mentioned also by other users in this forum it’s not me misunderstanding... However the recording may be old or outdated and one of the reasons it has been removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kugane Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 They should seriously start making these rule updates dynamic and digital. 6 months of production requirement to push out a book is too long to be relevant to the current meta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minis by Night Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Here's the list of factions for the new Mercenary system: Deathrattle Gargants + Chaos Gargant Soulblight Freeguild Dispossessed StD (Darkoath) Gutbusters Except for Gargants, that looks suspiciously like a list of the factions that are missing a battletome or that we suspect will get a their own battletome before too long. No Aelves though. Could be a list of upcoming Battletomes (the other two mercenary factions are FEC and Fyreslayers), or it could be just a little gifts for the players who own these armies but won't field them because their rules sucks. Or it could be a coincidence. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
