This one looks cool. Is that another new StD/Darkoath character to go with the warqueen on the cover? #baseless speculation

 

Book shows "Horus Heresy" above its title.. in other words: WH30K. So how is this book related to AoS?

Seems reasonable. They even got him completely covered up in armor so no one complains about loincloths and breast plates. GW really are listening the fans!

:D

No they shouldn't (at least that's my opinion). Just as my Slaanesh don't NEED a tanky unit. Factions should play uniquely. Slaanesh should be absolutely destroyed if you lose the momentum of your charge, and Nurgle should be slow and resilient. 

If you feel you need speed for your gameplay, that;s fine but that's what allies and the Grand Alliences are for. For me keep the gameplay for all the factions as unique and specialised as possible. 

Yeah, no : what I meant is that between all the other Nurgle units of the forthcoming (finger crossed) Battletome, the Pestigors should be a fast infantry unit (i.e. faster than Blightkings and Plaguebearer, but of course slower than units form other gods allegiances  - Nurgle units are to remain more tanky than speedy, leaving this trait to Slaanesh, flying Tzeetnch and the like).

EDIT : from the BL Weekender & the Combat phase interview of Josh Reynolds, there is a LOT of Age of Sigmar books coming !

1) Black Library Weekender 2017 Anthology :

- A Dirge Of Dust and Steel (Josh Reynolds)* - it happens in Shyish...

- Shiprats (C L Werner) - linked to Overlords of the Iron Dragon ofc

2) Soul Wars (June 2018, Josh Reynolds)*

3) Black Pyramid (Josh Reynolds)* - a sequel to Plague Garden

4) Neferata, Mortarch Of Blood (David Annandale)*

5) Nagash : Undying King (Josh Reynolds)* - General release of the Warhammer World exclusive

6) Black Talon, a novel about the Knight-Zephyros Neave Blacktalon

7) two Eight Lamentations Short Stories (Josh Reynolds)

8) Audio drama / 4 CD set about Gotrek in the Mortal Realms !!! (but without poor Felix)

* There is an obvious Death focus in 2018 (surely linked to Malign Portents) and it's great !

Yeah it mentioned brand new game with new expansions. 

Where did you see it was gonna be the exact same

Basic google-itsu.

Cool: It says 'Talisman returns. Revised 4th edition. In boardgame stores'.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/07/24/talisman-returns-for-christmas/

This one says the same. It even ALREADY TERURNED! And again. Revised 4th edition.

Im really excited about this. Short stories mean Spear of Shadows sold well enough. I hope for more Eight Lamentations books. The first one is full of things that make Age of Sigmar unique.

umm... what?

Like, I love Gotrek and Felix (or at least, definitely used to), but I really don't get this. Bringing back Old World characters just... feels weird. It's bad enough that they kept the Mortarchs around on the basis of 'Nagash remembered them into existence, and they're well... Undead'. Or Kroak for that matter, who was definitely destroyed in the End Times. Next it'll be revealed that Karl Franz is actually the leader of the Free Peoples as a way to have it make sense that some of the Free Peoples iconography has Karl Franz on it.

 

Dunno, I guess we'll have to wait and see. But I'd prefer to see more original characters of the mortal realms, even if it's a similar style book to Gotrek and Felix (buddies not-buddies roaming around the mortal realms).

I thought Gotrek became one of the Dwarf gods?

Well, I haven't read the later few books, but I definitely thought he was supposed to be the reincarnation of Grimnir or something.

The same Grimnir who has made his appearance in AoS, and gone and fought a big huge godbeast before being shattered into a million shards of Ur-gold.

So I dunno? Does Gotrek even make sense in that respect?

Either way, I'm sure they'll come up with their own way to spin it. I just don't know if it was really necessary to bring Gotrek into the mortal realms. Plenty of other stories to tell.

What specific movement value do you think they should be then?

Not really. Zhufbar's folk survived the end times by digging their way out non-stop.  As for gotrek, this could be happening in the very early age of myth.


 

Yeah I get that many factions and races 'got out' but they surely die of old age?
