  1. I was thinking the same about the Light of Eltharion, but it was the Avatar of Mathlann that lead me there! Archers have been all but confirmed. You can see the tip of a bow matching a Rumor image from a while ago. You can do more with Celestra and Ulthuan than you'd think.
  2. I actually like Teclis' new model. His face is rough, true, but someone on the Facebook group had a nice way of describing it: he looks like an old dude who's seen too much, like a grumpy magic elf. I even like that he's floating over his companion's shoulder like a magical parrot. I think Celennar does the fighting while Teclis hangs back and casts spells. Truthfully, I'm ashamed of this community for focusing on his face so much we all just ignore those ****** genie Hammer pants. Look at those pants.
  3. No, he lead the expedition to rescue Aliathra, Tyrion and Alarielle's daughter, from being part of the sacrifice. The high elves fought Arkhan's force at the site of the ritual and Eltharion was able to push all the way up to Arkhan, who hit the Grim with a point-blank Curse of Years.
  4. Arkhan the Black: "Oh, Eltharion's back, is he? I suppose I'll just have to turn his flesh to dust again." Spirit of Eltharion: "Guess what, ************."
  5. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying vanilla BoC. It's how I'd prefer to run mine as well, and I'm curious to know what sort of advice you'd offer, if you had the time and/or inclination?
  6. It's sadly par for the course for beastmen. GW doesn't really seem to bring their A-game for what they seem to consider the Chaff of Chaos faction. I think Josh Reynolds lampshades it pretty well in "The Black Pyramid", where the beastlord Ghosteater expresses frustration over how the beastmen are insignificant in the eyes of human worshippers of Chaos and even the gods themselves.
  7. Kind of. In my opinion (for what little that's worth!) I think Endrinriggers could be paper tigers with a repair ability, so it's risky but potentially rewarding to throw them into combat to defend the ships they work on. Skywardens I think should have a more melee-focused profile. For crying out loud, they're dirigible-wearing whalers on the moon that spear dragons while the ships guns do the killing.
  8. I'm hoping Skywardens become the melee unit we've been asking for.
  9. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's feeling the chaos chickens. I mean, conceptually. As having a place in my lists. I don't grope chaos poultry. Any more.
  10. Do Untamed Beasts allies add much to the army? I know BoC get pre-game movement from Ungor Raiders already, but I still want to try and get them to work if only for fun. I already plan on allying in some Furies and maybe the Ogroid Myrmidon or Hypnocat.
  11. I'd like to make Spire Tyrants work. It's interesting that they have two models that swing at 3 attacks per segment, and the +1 to hit is almost guaranteed with Lagertha flexing at them (which is how I imagine the Warqueen using her command ability and you can't stop me). I wish we'd gotten a little more from the Warcry warbands. Obviously I didn't expect much but it would have been nice if they'd been less of a non-contender when matched against regular Marauders.
  12. I hate to be a bother, but is someone willing and able to take a picture of the Path to Glory page for me?
  13. It's odd to me that Deceiver went up 20 points. That wasn't a popular Verminlord variant, was it? Variantlord?
  14. Thanks! I don't have a Verminlord, Screaming Bell, or a Warp-lightning cannon so I was pretty interested in the boxes set. And extra Clanrats are always nice. Damn, I think I sold myself on it.
  15. Is the Corrupting War-Swarm a good value for someone who doesn't want to use Plague Monks? I know how good Pestilens is, I still don't want to use them.
  16. I plan on doing an all-Marauder, Cultist, and monster list. Don't plan on using any models in chaos armor. Pray for me. The Warqueen buff is interesting and it certainly makes me more pleased than I was for Spire Tyrants. I was pretty uninspired at first. I support Wulfrik's transition. You go, queen. Warqueen.
  17. I just put Marauder Horsemen heads on the Marauder bodies. They're still oddly proportioned but it isn't as painful to look at.
  18. As I recall there was a lot of concern when the Skaven warscrolls were released as well, saying they were vastly underpowered. Who knows how things will turn out when we have all the pieces? I want to play Norsca rather than Warriors of Chaos so I'm excited to field a Marauder/Cultist force. With the Warqueen, Chieftain, and Warcry bands I can finally play a force that I feel captures what I want better than I could with the WFB Warriors army. This is the Chaos I've always wanted to play! Can't wait to see what Spire Tyrants are like!
  19. The app updates ariound the same time, right? Or is that when the book actually releases? I can never remember.
  20. Good news, they mention the Soul Grinder specifically in the Community post! Looks like we'll be able to use them as part of StD, which is fantastic!
  21. I'm all about Ravagers! All over them! Interestingly, being able to summon 10-person Cultist means the Cultist unit sizes might have to change from the 8-and 9-person sizes we have currently. Or maybe not?
