Personal theory is that GW know small factions like IDK and Fyreslayers need some kind of expansion. Just we've only reached the point that there is now more of a focus on expanding existing factions rather than making new ones. I wouldn't be surprised to see kits similar to Treesong Rev, Kroak or Belakor for one or both towards the back end of 3rd. Followed by larger releases of 2/3 new kits in 4th.

Does it matter what the save is if they are immune to shooting in woods and can teleport after fighting first?

Looks kinda Slaanesh to me. The glove with the round metal studs is very similar to what you see in their range.

What's the deal with Kurnothi? They got a warband 3 years ago, are mentioned in lore semi often and a short story recently. Kurnothi Vs New BoC at the end of 3rd maybe.

I don't think Leviadons are sus tbh. You can get a lot of mileage out of one in Nautilar and hunters of the Heartlands. They are just a bit swingy damage wise (so I have moved away) and tend to either be unkillable or very easy to deal with depending on your mortal wound output. Anyway off topic, but I think they are viable.

The IDK book is 1000 times better than the 1.0 one. Do you know how much list diversity there is considering we are one of the smallest factions model wise? There isn't a bad unit in the book. Some are better maybe, some overcosted slightly but nothing is bad. I'd rather have a 30% win rate with this book than a 70% one with eel spam.

You mean Durthu?

Skaven is a big ctrl + c / ctrl + v. That said I do think overall they will be fine. It's not an army I know much about ever since plague monk spam went away.

Some sylvaneth stuffs The dragonflies move really fast and hit like a truck. They are a bit fragile so you want to use the teleport ability to help protect them. Kurnoth hunters are great, all types. Woods still have some stuff with Los blocking and owning the actual kit is still beneficial Vs just using the overgrown rule. Tree revs can still deepstrike. The whole philosophy is to make the sylvaneth a lot more dynamic rather than just sitting in the woods. Think skirmishers that attack fast and then vanish. Skaven I don't really know or care much, but die hard players should be happy. GHB Nighthaunt and DoK are going to really benefit. Don't be surprised if BoC continue to rise to the top too. There aren't really any big losers, but a lot of those monsters that were borderline inclusions in lists might drop out. Horrifying realisation bonus IDK exist just to stop the shooting meta ever becoming too powerful. Because if a gun line army starts to go above 60% then IDK will rise up to counter them.

Remember when eels were really good? Imagine eels but they can teleport away after they fight. So excited for sylvaneth!

Is sentinel spam that good? No, but it is still fairly viable and incredibly dull for the game. They cover the entire board, can hit anything they want and require no skill to do so. The new book is going to shake up Lumineth and hopefully we see some more interesting and diverse builds. Flies are going up in points and we could see some new units, including for older books, be added to priority targets.

Sylvaneth are good!

Aaaand that's why you take her.

Battletomes 🌞🌜🐦🪄🌙🍄👣🦴☸️😈

Can't really give a source, but I'm 100% satisfied it's true. I don't think there is any point being salty about it. It's not a big new wave of models, mostly just tidying some stuff up like mortal wound spam and fox moves. Also simplified rules in line with aos 3 because Lumineth are pretty messy in that regard. Sylvaneth is the exciting book in my opinion. They are going to be good and also move away from the reliance on wyldwoods that we've seen since aos 1. Basically just a cool army that will be able to compete in every phase of the game.

Lumineth Book after Skaven and Sylvaneth

Just stopping by to say the sylvaneth book is going to be good. So no freaking out pls xxx

Dark skinned jungle sylvaneth who are all transgender women with muscular physiques and they ride cartoon looking Beatles. Also they are very expensive and have really good shooting with mortal wounds.

Chaos dwarfs are coming be chill. The horns of hashut are the advance force!

Chaos space marine banners and sons of votan for 40k, loyalist and traitor for 30k and skaven and Sylvaneth for aos. Looks right?

Have they announced this as range rotation? Maybe they are just going to repack all the old warbands with "rivals" style decks? I don't really follow underworlds but it seems odd.

I agree with everything you said, but let's be honest... If GW don't give us trans girl chaos space marines then we've all been failed.

My partner (non binary assigned female) thinks they look cool. I chose to buy raging heroes models as proxies for my soulblight so I could have some sexier vampire models. On the other hand I'm totally uninterested in sisters because they have really bad haircuts. Weird reason I know... I don't want to open up a big off topic debate, but getting women and girls into the hobby has a lot more to do with culture and creating spaces that are welcoming rather than models.

As a woman I personally like the approach they took with the eldar which is to give you a choice of options with each kit. I'd also just prefer kits have lots of choices in general to be honest. Like if you could have a boob torso and no boob torso for an Akhelian king model as an example.

The battlepack for a specific themed tournament is pretty cool. Not sure it justifies a purchase, but it's nice that they are doing matched play content that isn't mandatory.
