The Rumour Thread


Recommended Posts

So... Warrior Brotherhood and Skyborne Slayers are officially back. The reasoning for people abandoning them after the new book hit was always sketchy (they weren't in the first book either) and, well, here they are.

Aetherstrike +80

Hammerstrike +80

Vanguard Wing +100

Tempest Lords +100 (+200 including the Wing)

Skyborne +100

Warrior Bros +100

This is pretty savage.

Khorne: Khorgoraths -20, Skullcrushers -20, Skullreapers +40 (!!!!), Skullcannons -20, Valkia +20, Insensate Rage -20, Unfettered -40, WoK -30, Slaughterbrute -20.

Brass Stampede +100, Gore Pilgrims +100, Slaughterborn +100, Goretide +100 (a minimum Goretide is now +280 points), Skulltake +100....

This makes all of my army plans unplayable. Who okayed Battalions going up so much? It's crazy.

Hmm that Blightwar stuff has me conflicted.. 

Pro:

- New allegiance abilities! Wohooo That wheel look so cool and I am very intrigued to find out how it works!

- Snail daemon is AWESOME I beg for his profile to make him worth it. 

- preorder next week! Perfect I would have expected any AOS Nurgle updates to arrive late september.

Con:

- Does this mean that we are not to expect a battletome any time soon? And if not. Will the Blightwar alone be enough to help grandfathers finest?!

- Already got 6 flies (only using three), 30 plaguebearers (do not need anymore) and 6 bases of Nurglings (would love to use them, but it rarely make sense).

- was this it for Nurgle? No GUO no Maggot worm scale beasts? (those from the 40k art). No new beasts of Nurgle? No new profiles or changed profiles? No new Epidemius model? No Pestigors? No way to counter shooting. If Snailman is able to compensate for all of this, will he then become mandatory for any Nurgle army?

I guess there is still deathguard yet to come and that might provide AOS with a few monsters too but none for the Rotbringers.

Hmm I got about 7 mixed feelings about this Blightwar release..

@Greasygeek I am expecting Beasts and a new Unclean One Sculpt to pop up alongside Death Guard. I think Blight War is just the first reveal for September's Nurgle releases.

Man I hope that you are right. But we have had nothing to confim this right? In other words dage we be this optimistic? After all the Blightwar set does seem to make up for a battletome.

Nothing to confirm it, but I don't see why we shouldn't be optimistic. If we don't get anything, It doesn't really matter. World will turn. Whilst Nurgle have no solid anti-shooting, plaguebearers can create a negative modifier, and I think allegience abilities will be nice to see.
