Clan's Cynic Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Dwarfs appear to be the only army which kept Dispel Scrolls (Rune of Spellbreaking). Irondrakes have the Detachment rule, which is interesting. 1 hour ago, JerekKruger said: I haven't played WFB since 6th, so perhaps the rules changed in 7th or 8th, but doesn't Dwarf initiative of 2 mean they'll basically fight last almost all the time anyway? It's been a while but off the top of my head Great Weapons made you Always Strike Last in 8th. From the batreps that still seems to be the case, so it means they'll trade better against other 'big smashy infantry' blocs. Also, their Initiative goes up to 4 if they're charged, which might help a bit against certain other things (although I imagine the I-bonus on Charges will mitigate that in a lot of cases).

The hard cover rulebook is out of stock. Than my hope was to get the reference cards, but than I got this. Lol. What did GW expect, that nobody would be interested in the return of Warhammer. Typical GW. This combined with the posts about orders delayed until 30/03/2024 means GW vastly underestimated the silent majority that just wants Warhammer back! Or they didn't want to risk over producing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few pointers I've noticed. - Cathay and Kislev get their own blurbs and mentions, which is interesting, if not a heavy point of speculation. - MALERION?! not Malekith? WTF. Did they really name him Malerion?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefferson Skarsnik Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 If they're calling him Malerion retrospectively they probably think they have to call him something that isn't Malekith at this point. If the lore is all like, he's a conflicted good boy that needs to go on a very special spiritual journey to become the king the elves need, not so good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah okay, quite a difference from 6th, where great weapons made you strike last, unless you charged (in which case you struck first, but let's be honest Dwarves rarely got the charge off), or you were fighting against someone else using great weapons (in which case, the rules didn't actually have a specific resolution, but I think most people reverted to initiative order). To be honest, Hammerers losing always strikes last is a nice addition. They're still likely to often strike last thanks to their low initiative, but at least they get to strike ahead of other great weapon users and against other low initiative enemies (e.g. most greenskins, undead etc.). Gives them a slightly more elite feel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sception Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Whelp. Underestimating demand for a new game is better than overestimating ig, even if it's still not good. At least the rules will be available in epub form if I can't get the physical books. honestly, I'm ok with ebooks so I'll just go with that and not risk taking a physical book that might have been the difference in another player getting into the game. Hopefully they're able to get a second production wave through faster than they did for horus heresy, and the delay doesn't kill too many people's interest in the mean time. Preorders haven't even gone live here in the states. Will I be able to get some tomb guard and bowshabti? Have those been going out of stock elsewhere?

Jefferson Skarsnik Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) I've seen tomb guard, stalkers and necrosphinx among the kits that didn't sell out quickly in the UK, not sure about ushabti Edited January 6 by Jefferson Skarsnik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoghurtKobold Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Is there someone who managed to get new models? I opened their store after 9 CET, was in queue until almost 12.00 and by then everything I wanted was already sold out. I literally wanted to throw hundreds of euros at GW and I didn’t even had the chance. So I am off to Etsy to pay some 3D printers. Thank you GW, you saved me money.
