I kinda love that the description for the forge is essentially a lot of $5 words saying "FFS nerds, it's magic, it magically appears, now get the ****** over it and enjoy the game"

Yeah, I really enjoyed that too.  Not as much as I'm going to enjoy casting prayers on a 2 + though!

Fingers crossed when DoK or Malerion's mob get their turn for some terrain we get to see a bloody giant great big massive 'Altar of Total Immersion'

Just before battle Aelven Sorceresses begin to dance and chant blasphemous rites and summon forth the mists of Ulgu. Slowly the diaphanous vapours coalesce into the shape of a colossal, seemingly unmovable and ridiculously out of place, stone fist, one solitary finger raised in defiance at the moaning enemy forces.

If it is the middle finger, even better 😄

Disspossesed Terrain: summoned on the battlefield by grumbling and grudges

Slaanesh Terrain: summoned on the battlefield by horny thoughts

KO terrain: summoned on the battlefield by Duardin engineering

Ironjawz terrain: Gork threw a rock on the battlefield and now it a terrain feature

Bonesplitterz: Mork threw a rock on the battlefield and now it a terrain feature

Fingers crossed that this Sunday we see the Slaanesh stuff hinted at being next weeks pre-order. Since it counts for 40K as well and GW has been on a big chaos boost it would be great to see it launched into the world. 

It would also make it two Battletomes in April for GW which puts them nicely on track for completing many of the AoS factions this year!

Slaanesh does seem the most likely to be released next. Warcry is Summer (gotta assume Northern Hemisphere) and I don’t think they’ve got any other major previews at the moment.

That beeing said:
What will be actually the next big Warhammer Event with the next studio preview? Warhammer Fest?

Next will almost certainly be a specialist games week. Some of their new stuff has been confirmed for April. We also have more for Blackstone fortress on the way. I could see us getting those two weeks then Slaanesh

I expect it be the Nightvault Warband and the blackstone fortress expansion to happen first and then Killteam Elites expansion and the halfling bloodbowl team afterwards.

Slaanesh is probably going to start at the beginning of May right before Warhammer fest reveal what coming up next afterwards (probably revealing Looncurse, Sylvaneath BT, and the other Warcry warband).

This seems like a really grounded timeline, I agree.

As far as KO are concerned, I do feel it’d be pretty cool to have a scenery that is a flying airport, that can detach from the sky port and land anywhere Starcraft Terran building style. Maybe it could refuel ships (heal), resupply ammo (increase attacks or accuracy), and maybe the arkanaut admiral could have the command ability to call it to move anywhere once per battle. 

For magmic invocations, the KO Could have Aetheric Inventions, were some crazy endrinmaster went nuts, invented some stuff that didn’t work, then after necroquake, it did, then all the sky ports invented their own. In terms of summoning, it would be pretty cool for airships to literally drop such things in

for destruction: Ironjawz, Bonesplitterz should honestly not have terrain, it goes against their fluff imo, no offense to ironjawz players, but ironjawz mindlessly (imo) destroy any sort of order or building, making scenery would seriously contradict their fluff. Bonesplitterz are more focused on actually hunting monsters than wasting time building scenery. And to justify it with “magic”, would be lazy.  

I do think beastclaws can do it tho. A kind of ancestor stone dragged around by the frostlord’s Mount, that has history, the names of older frostlords, and great deeds written on it. So maybe only now, after jecroquake, it’s been infused with magic such that it can actually help control and slow the everwinter’s onset. Also the everwunter ability should be changed imo, it’s too random. For endless Spells, I’d say just the everwinter, like the Bad moon, was empowered by the necroquake, so huskarda can summon “endless prayers”, channeling the everwinter through their ancestor stones

for gutbusters I can foresee them getting a big cauldron that they carry around, to store and eat meat (heal allies), pray to the Great Maw (not that big green git called Gorkamorka #notmydestructiongod). Endless Spells is definite, and hopefully more original

this is why I prefer ogors to greenskins, Ogors are IMO more three-dimensional since they can be mercenaries, can invent giant cannons (read: loot and repurpose), and can be nomadic without smashing everything in their way “just cuz it’s fun”-Gordrakk2019

No offense to ironjaw players tho, but I do feel there should be no terrain piece for ironjawz, just more unit diversity (and I’m worried after seeing Fyreslayers)

Also, does anyone else feel “Endless Prayers” is a bit of a misnomer? Because Judgements of Khorne disappear REALLY EASILY, I feel it’s more suitable to call them, like “Favors of the Gods or something”. They usually feel like a one-use thing, since you usually have to resummon again every turn, and even then it’s not guaranteed, unlike endless spells which are definitely guaranteed and imo more reliable. 

For Fyreslayers, don’t worry too much about the battleforge, I feel Warhammer community preview tend to be unreliable in terms of fluff. For the skull Altar and the judgements of  Khorne , the Battletome did a good job of explaining them. 

Hence, wait for the Battletome! Even if I don’t play Fyreslayers, I’m gonna get the book anyway and read it cuz the writing style has legitimately improved a lot (Blades of Khorne book honestly was WAY better than the old ones)

Also any Malerion’s fans might be interested in this: it was in the Khorne Battletome (new one)

it seems that Malerion’s has already mobilized against chaos in an aggressive manner. Plus I’m gonna check the future Fyreslayers Battletome for any mention of “Shroudling kings”
