Challenge Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Is there any info when the french and german versions of the arcane journals are released? Maybe the cards too? In the warcom article they said that the journals would be available in all three languages, that is why I am wondering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I realized far, far too late that I actually did want one of those basic resin lich priests on foot. Oh, well, will have to keep an eye on my email to see when/if they come back in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosskelot Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Yeah artillery now actually sounds fair and balanced, compared to the absolute nightmare it was in 8th. In general lethality seems very toned down; less attacks on elite units, less AP, AP being divorced from S means that any S buffs aren't doing double duty, no more step-up, magic much less silly etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised that one sold out, priced like the metal blisters during 6th/7th ed. I really wanted both sets of Ushabti but at £105 it's far too expensive. Honestly, I thought the price of that Liche Priest was an error at first it's that cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejecutor Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Btw, is this Exciled Brets and all the other new options something completely new? Or was it present in the lore before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I thought the price of that Liche Priest was an error at first it's that cheap. Seriously. I have a converted liche priest that I really like (island of blood elf mage + warshpinx crew bits), and when I was ordering stuff at the store I thought 'resin kind of sucks, I'll make do with the priest I've already got', only to realize later that this guy is being printed in metal! for us$15! At that price, in that material, I'd love to have one as a low level priest to run alongside my converted high priest. Again though, oh well. I'll live for now.

Noserenda Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Artillery is also a bit cheaper and considerably more available, someone could slot in 10 guns in both Dwarf and Empire lists, potentially more in a Nuln or Engineer focused special army, so its ups and downs Reading the Empire, Dwarves and Chaos warriors lists; Im quite happy with Empire (Was hoping for pikes though, cant lie ) though theyve gone very generic with them in places it feels; Dwarves look great, might get some adapter bases for them; Chaos Warriors got done dirrrrty with a load of stuff missing, most units stripped back to heavy armour (Though Chaos armour did get a ward save) and a bit of a negative vibe. The other half of their army book might help Chaos but im not holding my breath for that right now! The Exiled Brets are all new stuff, well, calling back to 4th and earlier stuff. The Border Princes have always been a mish mash of all the various nations forming extremely temporary kingdoms, including Bretonians. The Exiles vow feels like a real cop out though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a couple of people do it already and they appear to fit on pretty well, though the Chosen might be a bit snug depending on their posing. I'll see if I can dig out some photos from where I saw them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) speaking of bases, with the influencer boxes out and unboxing videos going life, to we yet have an official answer on whether the old world's 25mm x 50mm bases are actually 25mm x 50mm, or are they the same as the oldhammer cavalry bases - ie closer to 23.5 mm wide? Similar question for the 50*100 bases, are they actually the old chariot bases, which were closer to 48mm wide? Judging by the pictures of the official base sizes, it looks like they maybe fixed the cav bases, but not the chariot bases. Hard to say for sure without someone just physically measuring them.

Exiled Knights is supposed to represented Bretonnians exiled to the Border Princes, which we always knew was a thing (The Border Princes themselves were founded by Brettonian Knights who decided "you know what, we can make our own kingdoms" and the place was supposed to be a haven for nobles exiled from the various kingdoms of the Old World). Its just that it wasn't really delved into because the Border Princes were essentially an irrelevant background element. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The consensus among the influencers playing the game is that taking a monster or a general on big monster isn't just going to lead to them getting sniped in turn 1 by a single cannon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goatforce Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 10 minutes ago, JackStreicher said: What’s the difference of a baron and a duke?

There are a handful of dukes in the Kingdom of Bretonnia. Very powerful lords and rulers of big pieces of land. While there are probably hundreds of barons in the kingdom, which x number could be in exile. Rulewise they have in a couple of stats -1 compared to the duke.

If I remember correctly, Dukes are roughly equivalent to Elector Counts i.e. there's one fur each of the major regions of Bretonnian (which each equate to one of the companions of Giles, minus Mousillon*) *Or not?
