I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that FW now will be making only HH and Specialist games. No new things for 40k or AoS. Is that true @RuneBrush?

Not sure if it’s been answered or not, but forge world won’t be doing rules for 8th Ed 40k (and presumable AoS). They still do models, but the GW rules teams handle the rules. From what I’ve heard from the Heresy weekender, anyway.

Darn it GW if you're going to tease us with warpfire throwers in the article art we want warpfire throwers! ;)

Skaven are sounding good,  a few general rules that have been on warscrolls for ages are now army wide - likely not a huge change, but does make it a little cleaner. Many of the abilities and names sound well suited and its great that they are getting two spell lores - one for pestilence and one for warp engineers! 

 

All in all sounds good!

Oh good those ability’s look so fantastic.

I just love the idea how our hero’s even get a look out sir in combat😂

look that's quite enough of that with your gnawing through reality and popping up everywhere as you likee chatter.

I think you're being unreasonable, you should be positioning yourself to maximise your opponents arc of fire so you can be killed in an efficient manner not cobbling together more  gubbins and contraptions to make killing you harder.

Rats... very unreasonable,

I will inform the disposessed of Karak-Kaboom to have a word...

Interesting to note that most of those bits of army display show a lot of older models in them - this suggests that GW might not be taking any away (or at least very few). Warlord in metal is gone (understandable as there's a finecast and plastic version as well). 

 

Also comments on the facebook page note that Pestilens Skaven still retain the Nurgle Key word.

I have heard that sylvaneth definitely getting new scenery and three new endless spells with their battletome. Source is not saying anything about kharadron overlords which makes me suspicious it might be something good. 

KO could do with a larger overhaul than most factions, they need more infantry choices and battleline in general. There ships could use some retooling as well so I wouldn't be surprised if we had to wait longer for a larger update for them.

The Dream

New boxed game ala carrion empire. 

Blood in the Water

Deepkin v DoK

New heroes 

Ishrann Embailor 100 points

Command ability: in the hero phase pick one unit of akhelian allopexes or akhelian leviadon wholly within 12" of this model. That unit can immediately pile in and attack with its jaws and fins. 

Spell - dominate beast. Casting value 7 pick one enemy monster wholly within 12". That unit fights after all other units in the combat phase. 

Only one weapon the pain staff

1 attack 3+ 3+ - d3

Against monsters has a rend of - 2 and d6 damage.  Makes allopex battleline as general. 

Melusai Bloodhunteress 140 points

Command Ability: in your movement phase pick one unit of Melusai wholly within 9" of this model and remove both them and this unit from play. At the start of the next movement phase (friend or foe) place both units wholly within 6' of a table edge and at least 9' from the enemy. 

First of the Scathborn: get the mortal wound on ranged attacks from bloodstalkers and the stare  mortals from the melee snakes for this hero. 

Trueborn of Morathi: unmodified hits of 6 for bloodstalkers wholly within 12' of this unit inflict 2 mortal wounds instead of 1. Melee snakes wholly within 12" do d3 mortals on 6s for their stares. 

3 attacks 24 range 3+ 3+ - 1 dmg does 2 mortals on hit of 6.

1 attack melee 4+ is a mortal 6 is d3. 

 

You get some snakes and sharks plus some other bits. 

That's my weirdly specific wish for LVO.

I go on a limb and it Sylvaneath vs Fyreslayer and it going to be called Fyrewood

I'm still banking on slaanesh being in soul wars so i'd have to agree with sylvaneth vs fyreslayers or maybe something with darkoath vs somebody since that will probably just be a big Slaves/everchosen overhaul similarly to carrion empire

So i saw no weapons teams in the pics that were uploaded, that could mean something good, or it could just be they dont want to show any of the old metal models, we shall see

Well I don’t really think they’ll be gone for good.

or at least they would have hopfully taken a different picture at the beginning of the article, if that were the case.

There is an old metal acolyte in the Skryre picture. So that answers that, they are just going with what they have... Kind of a shame, but with a good solid book I'll at least feel safer converting Skaven.

I am excited for Skaven. Moulder having a keyworded hero makes me hope they found way to make more hero options for them. Their allegiance is solid, not crazy, but that's fine. Sad no full Eshin previews, but man does the book seem overflowing, love it.

Where does this bow thing come from?

 

Sylvaneth underworlds warband has a dude with a bow.

I'm crossing my fingers that it may be a eventual new unit for sylvaneth. Cause cmon, literal tree elves without bows? That ain't right

Well the mini durthu guys have bows but I guess they don’t count

Did anybody else had problems with accessing this site today and yesterday?

As for the FEC and Skaven releases - I'm still surprised they came back yo FEC ans even gave them a boxed game. Great. As for the Skaven i still believe that they deserve more than a battletome +  some spells. Each major Clan in my opinion should receive its own battletome and models. Maybe this will happen in the future. 

What do I want from LVO? Carrion Empire would be enough to be honest and still we should feel satisfied. But since they say there is more, than well, a sneak peak of Darkoath will be great. Not really treating Underworlds warbands as part of AoS so not really intrested in that. 

Just one more thing. Past Stormcast releases made me expect more from a faction update or second wave. If each year Stormcasts receive several new models, abilities, spells, battletome then I would be really disappointed if the only thing Fyreslayers or Ironjawz receive is a "3 spells and scenery" treatment. Those and some other factions have so little units that isn't even funny compared to Stormcasts or few others.
