Hi guys! Just a quick question, how are you dealing with archers-heavy lumineth lists? I've had two games against them, and each time I just can't approach them (this and the double turn which put the last nail in my coffin). First list I tried was Kastelai with Vordrai, a VLoZD, 3*5 BK and 20 grave guards, the heavy hitters ran towards the lumineth block (2*10 archers, Teclis, some spearmen and a catalar) but got murdered. Second list I tried was Avengorii with Lauka Vai, Radukar the beast, VLoZD, 5 BK,1 terror and 1 zombie dragon, with all "run and charge" abilities I could get, but it still ended up as target practising. Is it even a good idea to try removing them from the table? Or shall I just run lists with many bodies and just play the objectives will I'm being shot at?

New rumour engine:

They got mournfang, leadbealcher and stonehorn in plastic kits IIRC. But no updates for old kits indeed. Along with some finecast characters.

160, still expensive though. But you seem to really appreciate complaining about GW prices around here, so I won't take that away from you.

Yup, looks like a blood bowl dwarf.

I agree with most of your guesses actually. For me: Order: Fyreslayers Death: OBR Destruction: Ogors Chaos: Nurgle I hope we'll also get a christmas set of scenery too, but they stopped doing it last year

Please, be it a soulblight teaser !!!

Don't worry dude, I know nowadays it's hard to say you're a mega gargant fan because of the popular vindict and all the hate, but eventually it'll fade out and your passion and awesome minis will still be here I have bought two mega gargants too, and I can't wait to paint them and enjoy them on the tabletop with my friends, I really don't care about what people think and they won't ruin the enjoyment I'm getting out of this great hobby.

Printed in the warcry section unfortunately Though I'm not complaining too much anyway, since they are basically given!

It makes me think of a shield Valkia could carry... But since it's a rumour engine, it'll end up being everything but this 😁

I've played them a bit this weekend. Their are quite pleasant to play, the are quite tanky for the most part, and can hit very hard. Board control is good too, since you have a good number of fighters. My only grief is their abilities. Their are too expensive and too conditional. I mean, for using some of them (including the ultimate one), you have to rule a dice an have a 3+ or 4+, or to kill someone before. Whereas similar abilites exist in other warbands but without any condition, I find it very underwelming. But the base one is good, giving you for a double, the ability to move or attack for free if you kill someone. That's it for me, but I may be terribly mistaken, I've only played them 4 times

Behemat giant's shield !

The only thing I find odd, is that every preview they host at Warhammer World is so bland... Everytime a new major reveal is done, it is i at an external place, not in the glorious walls of Notthingham . Anyway, I hope the book teased will contain interesting fluff tidbits, who knows, maybe Nagash won't have his butt kicked this time 😛

Well, maybe they will in fact show something more than Pyschic Awakening? https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/12/22/what-surprises-await-this-christmas/ Merry Christmas everyone!

It's up for BoC : https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/5335ef41.pdf And the base sizes are UPDATED!! https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/ba618db2.pdf

I hope you're right dear, but still...

Unfortunately, christmas slot is already taken by Psychic Awakening

I guess i could be related to the time in AoS storyline when Chaos started slowly to take over the realms during the age of myths? Could be interesting in the sense that mythical spells and creatures which are not in AoS anymore could be released... Hell maybe godbeasts and gods?

Some OBR news : https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/10/24/ossiarch-bonereapers-the-sub-factionsgw-homepage-post-1/

Well that's not really how I see it. Again I'm not working at GW but I can see a similar schema here compared to what happened to 40K. When the new 40k edition dropped, loads of new kits for the poster armies (Primaris and Death Guard) were released. But for Christmas neither of them got a battleforce. Because IMHO the kits were too recents I guess. But the year after, we got battleforce for both. Which in a way is a good way of having people buying the kits they didn't have with their starter sets, once they have had time to paint the said starter set. We can apply the same reasoning here, yes it's cheap to collect a Sacrosanct or a Nighthaunt force. But some kits aren't the complete ones (I think about the Sequitors and Evocators for example). And now that the starter set is more than one year old, it's a good way to push the poster boys again, without being to near of their release. But I don't think it indicates a new starter box nor a breaking of the starter set in two start collecting boxes (not yet). Again, this rumor I read may be false. But the nighthaunt and stormcast sets are a given to me.

Well yes, it makes sense to me only if the battleforce contains the recent sacrosanct miniatures. In the past we already had the "common chamber", then the "vanguard chamber". Only the sacrosanct minis remains to be put in a battleforce

Coming from a French facebook page from a guy who seems to be in the know (but as usual, take it with a pinch of salt), here are the content of battleforces this year : AoS : Stormcasts, Nighthaunt, Skavens, Gloomspite 40k : Tau, Dark Eldar, Space Wolves, Blood Angels, Chaos, Tyranids We'll see how it pans out, but it could makes sense.

Usually they are part of the christmas leaflet which you can find in GW store. It's generally out in november

That's a shame, you should buy some to build up more clanrats ! I guess they will go along with beastgrave. But the more time goes on the more I loose hope about dedicated endless spells and scenery for them.

I also noticed a card with a Flesh Eater on it:
