For me nothing really changed my lists for 1,000 point games (morrsarr can still be doubled up for being battle line) and the only think that I have to consider is what I want to do for the vanguard and main body. I would have to play the game to see how it goes.

If that is the case, it gives me hope for my idoneth... I imagine an eel is equal to a dwarf! anyways, any plans for people on how to theme their warband? I am already planning on making my future untamed hunters into sea monster hunters just as an opposite opponent for my deep kin.

@aelven_supremacy Until I know exactly what is going to change and how much, I am refraining from worrying about it too much. If it turns out that the levidon and alopex (and possibly ishlaen ) drop in points enough to cover it, then I wouldn't worry about dropping morrsarr in my list. Just gotta wait and hope.

Well I guess I got some crow to eat on backlogs buuuuut the slaves to darkness inclusion seems odd. With warcry coming along I thought it would be a sure thing that they are getting their own battle tome. Maybe it will be like soulblight was, releasing the alliance rules and then putting it in a book soon after

I heard talk from an off duty gw employee that the trade dispute is really hurting gw's distribution. Apparently a lot of books are being held up beyond sylvaneth, which is making things wonky.

depends on the army, really. if It's my brand new, proper round circle army like my deep kin, I'm trying to fully paint my army and not have a grey model. (got one unfinsihed base though... I just need to buy water effects or something for it. ) just because I like painting my eels and sea elves. I have a story in mind, and I'm doing it! for my square based, mostly second hand death army? yea.. I play with half of it unpainted and not on proper bases. mostly because I ran out of calvary bases and circle bases for it. I really should finish them, but I'm just not in the mood currently to paint all those skeletons.

you know what? I'm almost thinking it's going to be Vlad Von Carstein reborn or something funky like that.

I personally use an archmage as a mounted wizard to go along with my all eel army. it's pretty nice, and he can provide an extra ward save when you're out of ship range. he's about the same speed as eels too, and it's fairly easy to kitbash a single eel with an archmage.

I'm also hoping for those Egyptian statues as well if they do make a return. Dunno if it's going to happen but there is always an if.

Oh yea, City of Secrets (set in Ghur) probably belongs in the realmgate wars or season of war time. I am too open to adding season of war, if only because there are more Free Cities referenced compared to the realmgate wars.

I would put 'Scourge of fate ' after malign portents or necroquake, if for no reason than because there is a sacrosanct lord ordinator in the book. also I believe soul wars belongs in that section too.

The sea is cruel that way, especially in the mortal realms 😉 could be be avoided though, by making it deadly terrain and halving movement and taking penalties to attack rolls depending on the save value of the unit. I dunno, it could just be fun to see ship combat as well as boarding actions on the high seas!

Honestly I just want to get my hands on a model or two so I can start making my armies on parade. Already making a viking ship for them, just need to work on the models I have planned. but between the wait for this and a summer class this June and July are going to be Loooooooong.

true enough, but so far those have been event only releases which I don't know how many more are going to be between then and now? Still stoaked about this all, just need to have a hobby pick-me-up!

More than a month to wait for game information? Gonna need more fuel for the hype train i'm on...

pretty much this. the biggest thing that's stopping me from buying more eels is seeing if the morrsarr will be raised in points to around 200. if so, then I don't know what i'm going to do with my list... also want to see if the archmage gets raised in points.

I was thinking of this today at work as well, and there may be a need to have some wound counts for each warship, or at least size catagories or something. That way you can target the warship with said cannons or or something. I may think of something myself one of these days...

Honestly they don't really get attacked? the only enclave to get attacked was either the one that defended against an undead tide in the malign portents stories, or the one where the skaven literally drained the ocean an enclave was hiding in. At any rate, They use magic to breathe under water, and I think surround themselves with the AetherSea most of the time if I remember correctly. presumably, that means other factions can use magic to breathe under water too... I'm actually really looking forward to that book just to explain this.

Don't think so? Could be wrong but I think volturnos would have his special sword and deep mare mount in the picture. I think this is probably one of the thousands of smug aelves.

And it's now my phone wallpaper. Love it

Good to hear you're tweaking the rules! How do you feel about adding ship board weapons? Maybe only making it so they can target other ships without a massive penalty? Or use different ammo like grape shot or chain shot?

Honestly, a warband of outcast nobles from azyr would be pretty awesome in my oppinion! Can't wait to see Aqshy and Hyish! So far though the untamed hunters and splintered fangs are still my favorites. ...how embarassing would it be to be killed by the silt guy?

is there a print feature?

Honestly I think piling in and activating twice is fine, as long as there is a gap in time for you to take a swing at the opponent. Something like a skeleton horde getting to attack twice can be devastating, but there is a chance to cut some down before they swing again usually. double tapping twice in a row just feels really dirty.

I'm worried about base size and profile to be honest. But, I guess I have an even bigger death army than I thought! can they be used in legion of nagash? If so where can I find the thing that says they can?
