First week Sons next week Marines then Warcry and Necrons to round out the month. My prediction is 3rd Oct - marines release 10th - necrons 17th - Sons 24th - warcry 31st? Nov - shadow and pain, broken realms, new bloodbowl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alghero81 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Black Library gives us good hints as already said: - Sons of Behemat pre-order the 10th of October - Morathi in November (we already knew that) - Warcry Catacombs in October (that's earlier than expected) - Blood Bowl could come in November maybe last week on pre-order? (on Amazon is 10th of Dec, they are usually 3-4 days late). - Novella series this time is only 5 books and hard-back instead of soft-back (not a big fan of HB) Interesting Inferno Volume 5 is still advertised as October but I have it since few months and already read a couple of novels... For who is interested Lady Sorrow in SB is coming April 2021 and Lumineth June 2021. Regarding the choice of models, one of the things really affects usability of a bloated range is warscroll battalions. Who has decent ones is already cornered in a limited range of units to try the "one-drop" army. Who does not have battalions or like me likes variety and not painting the same dude over and over (crypt ghouls and grots I'm talking to you) is going to play a sub-par army and should accept it. In the end each army has its owner, you go for the style of the miniature first and then for the rules (at least most of us). I'm personally more for different elite units so I don't need to have multiple units of the same type, but then I also need to remember multiple warscrolls... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video proves they are a small echo chamber who only parrot the words of their resident youtuber who hasn't read anything. Hell, most them most likely haven't picked up a fantasy book either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakai Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Focus Home Interactive also seems to be a decent Video game Publisher by the look of things so their reputation may also boastering the game initial reception too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of making my Gargants themed from the forest of Gorch in Ghur or from Ghyran. I'll wait to see the Battletome for more inspiration but theyll definitely be forest themed with Celtic style blue Tattoos and markings.

Personally my plan for theming is a simple one, one mega gargant who bounces between Death, Destruction, and Chaos, picking up trinkets and tatoos as he goes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverchosen Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) My hope would be to add a Mega Gargant to each of my current armies and paint them to match. Narratively, I would consider the gargants siblings that all fight under different banners but on occasion join together to smash up the mortal realms as a motley gang that needs to let some steam off. The price of this line means it is likely a few years off... but a man can dream 😔 My Idoneth would run a Kraken Eater and my Slaves to Darkness either of the other two... but the Chaos bits in the Aleguzzler and the ability to use multiple Mancrushers in a unit seems interesting... I am assuming that Man Crushers are using the old Aleguzzler kit correct? Edited September 6, 2020 by Neverchosen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I believe the Aleguzzler kit will be reboxed to represent the choice of either Aleguzzler or Mancrusher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRL are actually much easier to play against than OBR, one of the biggest differences is the phases and exactly when in the phase each ability can be used. I'm very happy to wait and see how they play out. But, as I write more lists and play more games I become more convinced of their precariousness not less. They definitely have rules, lots of rules. Oh they absolutely do have those rules build into their battletraits. -1 to hit some units ignore -1 rend (-2 if using the battletrait) They can push units 2" away from objects and directly follow up to fill this gap. You take any objective like that. All units are wizards. Teclis unbinds spells without rolling dice This is given to them by default. Every other army has to pay in some form for that. They also have spells that do 3 things at once in a radius , like unbind endless spells, mortal wounds on 6's and enemy wizards get -2 to to cast and dispel. All this is not even using the super special rules. Any player with half a brain win his/her games easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything to do with Teclis obviously costs points. They have 1 spell that does 3 things at a 10" range for the dispel and dmg, and a total of 22" for the debuff. It's also a 8+ spell. Stone guard, mountain spirits and Eltharion are not wizards. Vanarai (dawnriders, wardens and Sentinels) have -1 when in shining company which has significant trade offs in movement and board coverage you are not mentioning. The almighty push actually takes careful placement or the enemy unit can actually put more models on objectives not less. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every aelf death makes it harder to hold objectives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
