Dukeus Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 There will be a new drake unit but no new stardrake. The Model is not old at all and still awesome. I Just about to finish one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Just about to finish one. That's kind of the thing, isn't it though? It won't be a new stardrake but then Vindictors aren't new Liberators, and 40k Primaris Intercessors aren't new Tactical Marines, and the Storm Speeder isn't a new Land Speeder, and so on. GW's walking that fine line where they want to put out a re-do of the same concept that will appeal to folks who already have the older mini, but also appeal to folks who ignored the older mini because they didn't like it or it's too old, but GW also doesn't want to outright 'invalidate' or replace that older mini. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this confirmed or still a rumour? I really always thought if SCE got a chariot it would have been pulled by a Drakoth but I love the Gryphcharger chariot so much. Maybe as a future hero model? I am hoping we get a small unit of flying wyrms (winged draconic serpents) with stormcast riders.

sandlemad Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 A grinning Kruleboy King-Boss special character lounging on a greasy throne and idly playing with a human skull would be cool. 31 minutes ago, Clan's Cynic said: Kruelboys for S5 of Underworlds perhaps? Hope so, I'd like some kruleboys to paint up. I imagine GW wouldn't miss the opportunity to tie this new season in with a new edition of AoS, just as they did with stormcast/nighthaunt in S2. WHU has already spent two seasons in Ghur doing the whole beast thing so it'll be interesting to see if they do the same again or shift locale. At any rate they could probably do with trimming or otherwise consolidating some of the Ghur-specific rules bloat, all the hunter/quarry/primacy/hunger mechanics. Not entirely sure how they'd reasonably do that but feels like the otherwise excellent WHU rules system is beginning to groan under its own weight.

I will stand by your side @KingBrodd! Necrotect! AWAKEN THE SPHINX!!! All jokes aside I do want to know what big bad centerpiece the Kruleboyz are getting(that’s not Kragnos). I hope it’s a giant alligator but we all know where hope leads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormcast really do not need more dudes with bows or crossbows, the current ones simply need good rules... We got judicators with 2 different options, bows and crossbows + special versions. We got Castigators with crossbows. Raptors with Sniper crossbows and dakka crossbows. Do we really need another bunch of guys with bows? jeez GW, update some saurus warriors instead The new units we've already seen aren't replacing anything, no reason to think the other reinforcements will either... until we see both the new reinforcements and the 3.0 tome. I get GW often puts up units/boxes in articles to sell off old stock, but the Vindictors being the same height as Liberators seems like a pretty good sign nothing is squatted yet.

Murder Pancake Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 New dragons for SCE in the style of the new Thunderstrike models? No need to necessarily buy Liberators? I am just the sucker that GW wants.The slimmer models and polearms ticked all if my boxes and I've been toying with an excuse to grab dracothians for ages for at least a small force. Wish they would do a two headed chaos dragon but I will take what I can get at this point. Crossing my fingers that the rumors pan out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 A surprisingly very-obviously-Ghur themed General's Handbook this year. I'm surprised how much they're doubling down on the Realm of Beasts thematics. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I figure that this because of how the new realm rules will interact with the core rules, but GW hasn't got a realm book out yet. So they've chucked a load into the GHB to get things going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfcam Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 There's no mention of allegiance abilities for Grand Alliances in the Contents page of either the Core Book or the Generals Handbook, am I wrong in assuming they're squatted and you can't play them anymore?

Acrozatarim Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 As a Tzeentch player, can't say I'm sad to see the back of Changehost. Hopefully Tzeentch'll get a revamp this edition to have more viable types of army than just pink horror tarpit and flamer shooting. It also does annoy me a bit whenever they say things like 'ooh Tzeentch spellcasting is so unrivalled', when what they mean is 'you've got a lot of things that can cast spells, but most of them aren't actually very good at it, especially if you were foolish enough to prefer the mortal side of the army' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acrozatarim Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Oh, and, while I'm being annoyed: they say "Beware of miscasts!" But you can't beware of miscasts. There's nothing you can do to avoid miscasts apart from... not cast spells. On all those characters whose cost is predicated on the idea that they will, in fact, be casting spells. It's just a random smack to the chops that occasionally crops up and you just have to suck it down and carry on. There's no new layer of strategy or tactics to it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the terrain piece is a webstore only expensive piece of terrain, and the endless spells sprues may get repackaged with the malign sorcery ones, or maybe they'll mix em up and put them in some other groupings? (1 or 2 sprues per kit). I imagine they dont want to keep printing that outdated malign sorcery book. They do seem to be digging into endless spells as "here to stay" so I'm sure they've got plans on how to best profit off of these sprues of chinese plastic Edited June 15, 2021 by sorokyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
