BrocknerTheBear Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I'm sure the stormcast bound to nagash will be an awesome story line, but I'll be a bit disappointed if death get some new love and it comes in the shape of stormcast 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have prefered more pages of Lore and History, but well. Priorities and all that. A shame they don't include Slaves to Darkness units. Dont need generic old Slaves getting in the way of the pure Khorne goodness! Theyd fit in a book with Everchosen and Chaos Monsters quite nicely tho... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeryenn Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 That's probably nurgle 40k release. They were just teased and we will be seeing them probably in a week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same approach as Disciples of Tzeentch - actual Khorne models in the book, those that can choose the Khorne keyword not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be some kind of 8 legged flying Grots (cf. Grot Scuttlings in Silver Tower) or Grots within aircraft as you say. Probably aircraft being thrown by a Godbeast sized troll. It's right here mentioned in the newly leaked fluff text and images on the Kharadron as well! "Skywardens.... just as proficient at dealing with aerial harkrakens as they are with ragtag fleets of grotbag scuttlers and daemonic shoals of screamers of Tzeentch." Give us grot scuttle bags!

Thats a great shout, i only painted one up last month and found it... uncompelling in battle. A cheeky prayer might give it that extra edge (i would still take it before a second bloodsecrator anyway!) It still doesnt need to be in the Khorne book though. The fact I could take one, keep allegiance AND get a boost for it does boggle the mind a bit when i cant do the same by adding my (bright red!) Chimera! In other news, if Blood Tithe is based on how many models are killed my Dark Feast bloodreavers are gonna be more suicidal than ever! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have to have an FAQ question as to whether you can attack your own models. It's an open question in the core rules (surprisingly).

Good call Nico! From a unit that was already depleted you mean? Interesting. that could backfire as you need to allocate the shots before you roll any dice; so killing exactly one model isn't trivial; and you might roll a 1 on the D6 for the number that come back.

Oh, assuming I had a Tzeentch army I'd just fire a single shot from each unit within range capable of shooting at the said unit until I killed a horror. I'm an entirely gamey cretin and honestly quite glad I don't have a Tzeentch army. Also I would um... waste use Kairos for the number of models that came back.

Turragor Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I think it is intended you only attack enemy units. That said, in the example given (and for other evil armies) it's quite thematic. Interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokapoke Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The idea of attacking your own units, while not explicitly outlawed in the rules, does not seem to be intended. For instance, in Picking Targets, criteria are mentioned "to attack an enemy unit" but not for friendly fire. Further, if "a model splits its attacks between two or more enemy units" there is a discussion of how to roll those attacks. In Making Attacks, under 2. Wound Roll, the rules specifically mention the opposing player. In 4. Determine Damage, there is mention of attacks rolled at the same time, but "must be directed at the same enemy unit." To me, then, the rules do not explicitly outlaw attacking one's own unit. However, there are strong implications that you can only attack an enemy unit unless specifically directed otherwise (e.g., from the Wrathmongers' Bloodfury ability). 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The Rumour Engine piece reminded me of Death (although that might be inner optimism). It could also be upside down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galas Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 To me, the "anchor" seems Destruction. Look at it. The "stick" that conect the 3 parts its like a bone. But not a Death bone, its just like... archaic, Destruction tribal style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimnaud Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 1 hour ago, Auticus said: The rules don't explicitly outlaw flipping the table either To me its a permissive ruleset. It tells you what you *can* do. If the rules don't state you *can* do it, you cannot. I might have to use that option @Thomas Lyons mentioned in Warhammer Weekly that the rumour engine pick has obviously been photoshopped, so for all we know, the hooks might even be attached to flesh. Just to open up even more options for what we might be looking at. Could fit in with some new Skaven monster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barimbino Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'd say those anchors are not to a ship at all. Doesn't make sense that a ship would be dragging an anchor. I'm guessing it goes more toward a model/monster piece. More like a weapon being dragged behind it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
