I need to stop ordering bolt boyz off eBay. I’m up to 12 now.

 

do we know in terms of the multi part box what options we get? Is it simply banners and musicians? 

We know that they have the following:
- Boltboyz: Unit leader option (the leader carries a banner on his back).
- Guttripaz: Musician and banner for both weapon options, close range weapons (swords/axes).

Nice one,cheers mate, I think I’ve got enough bits to knock up a banner for one!

So we gonna get another model reveal tomorrow, lets hope it's something (more specifically a non-hero unit) for us!

Is this mere speculation or is this information true in which case what is the source? Because nothing on the community webpage that I could find indicated such things.

Though I would love to see more stuff about the swamp boys

Speculative but I put out two fairly long posts with evidence why I believe it to be true. Also last week the community webpage didn't mention the dragon knights so that as a source is unreliable at best.

The community page talks about a miniature reveal in the article today, which had happened on Mondays the last couple of weeks.

The speculation is if that the reveal is for us. Some people around here argued that they had done paired reveals for us and the stormcasts, so if that logic follows we would get a reveal to pair with the dragon riders. There isn't much other than this line of thought.

Well Kill Team pre-orders are this coming Saturday (was really hoping that it was going to be Battletome weekend, but looks like that is either 21st or 28th now, as they're out in August guessing 21st is pre-order for release on 28th, so a few more weeks of waiting. 

the preorder has to be the 28th now because the Killteam preorder is two week longs (Killteam box comes out on the 28th)

Some more info on Gobsprakk abilities and our spell lore:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/08/09/gobsprakk-uses-swampy-magic-bad-smells-and-a-screaming-plant-to-dominate-the-battlefield/

He can cast 2 spells, has a once per game 3d6 unbind and have the same spell as the regular shaman. They talk about the spell lore but don't make clear if he know all the spells or just the one you can pick for the starting enchantment. His staff is 3" range and does d3 damage (regular staff profile) and a move of 14".

Place your bets now:

Will Kruleboyz actually get bonuses to cast, or will they be stuck in the Destruction casino, trying to hard-cast their good 7+ casting value spells?

If the Big wag still has a bonus to cast by using wag points, I bet they will probably get none. If we get lucky maybe we will see a command trait/artifact that gives a +1 like the Bonesplitters have...

Welp I lost my bets but good spell reveals today.

well there was a single new spell but yeah they are ok. Full battlefield stuff seems good and da black pit will do a few mortals into elites.

Nah we got 2 spells. Sneaky miasma giving a monster within 18 an additional movement. And da black pit which is a decent mortal wounds spell.

So with the rules article and no new model today, it's look like they revealed everything. How everyone feels about our range?

I'm honestly all for it. With boltboyz being a battleline option in yellers and the new spells already revealed I'm still completely happy to play this army. The new interaction between the sneaky miasma and the mount trait smelly un is nice as it gets you into fighting range without sacrificing the -1 to hit. I'm sure that some other rules will be good as well and while some of our stuff is very conditional I'm still excited to play it.

I'm happy. Of course that I wanted a gnashtoof cavalry or new troggoths (fellwater?) as "elite" troops or a Hobgrot Hero... but the whole roster is still awesome.

I'm really curious to know how kruleboyz will play.

  • I think that magic will only be used as support (unless there is subfaction or whatever with +2 or +3 to cast). I don't think that we are going to take down Teclis/Lumineth, Kroak or Nagash.
  • Shooting army can work with boltboyz and the ballista+lot's of shamans, but I get bored only thinking about it.
  • Monster-smash seems possible too, with movement tricks (spells) and we have a lot of them. We just need more rules to knew how good they are
  • Anything inbetween seems possible too, and maybe that could be a good spot for all kruleplayerz that don't want to spam the same units.

 Could Fellwaters Troggoth be the answer? Thinking of it, they fit, both visually (even if not perfectly) and thematically.  They would not even be the first unit to be shared among battletomes (the giant is a prime exemple in this regard).

 

I guess if Fellwaters ends up in the new battletome with a kruleboyz, keyword attached, it will do the trick for me :)

How is everyone feeling about the partial reveal for gobsprakk.

 

Because true off my chest I am disappointed.

I was expecting a little more spell prowess, not necessarily comparable to the lord of change that this fella bested. But at least a stronger profile than what was released. I thought for sure they would get at least +1 to casting/unbinding (though maybe still possible?) with 2 spells to cast I’m worried we’re going to see GW in it’s all mighty wisdom dull out a 1 unbind :/ 

maybe I was wrong to jump to the conclusion that gobsprakk bested a lord of change through spells but as it is now he had done it with his staff 🤣 

I’m hoping that the full warscroll will be more enticing as we still yet to see the full combat profile and perhaps abilities/command abilities.
 

A spell that is identical to the shamans, while it is a great spell, is rather disappointing seeing as the swampcalla shaman already does it - Generally speaking I am not a fan of copy paste from one model onto another. The other spells I’m cool with.

I’m still being hopeful that in the end this fabulous model will be one worth picking up because my lord do I love this thing aesthetically and would sure love to include it in a list.

 

just curious to see everyone else thoughts because I’m not feeling the excitement myself or from what I can see in other posts...
