I'm not one to usually fall for this stuff, but I want that physical Morathi book. But what worries me is will GW release a boxset later?

I fully expect some kind of Death reveal. It is Dia de Muertos (Day of the dead) today. We've had tons of semi-death related rumor images. GW has to have been backed up on armies due to the lockdowns. We've gotten new stuff for Chaos, Destruction and Order this year. It's time for Death. Considering Death is legitimately the smallest alliance.

SKULLS FOR THE SIGMAR THRONE!!!

Like Vince said in his stream, the number one thing they need is a Stardrake battalion. Its such a sweet looking model and barely fits anywhere in the army. Even something like Stardrake + (any number of models) and it gives cover like the Leviadon does would be worth it.

I originally had an idea like this for our terrain piece. Like the herd stone, it grows every turn. Starts at 12" and goes up 6" each turn. The negative to bravery is equal to the current battle round. Maybe broken realms will get us Nighthaunt terrain. We definitely don't need more models.

Definitely gonna see 3-4 new battalions. A lot of the books this year seem to be very light on battalions. (LRL, KO, Seraphon really only having 4 based on army choice, Ogors sames thing).

Well with the Morathi book confirming armies can get new warscrolls, battalions and more importantly ALLEGIANCE ABILITIES what are we hoping for mostly my fellow spooky boys? I want one of the allegiances to wreck bravery. Like a ability, spell, trait, and artefact that all attack/lower bravery. And one that gives the entire army frightful touch (with multiple instances triggering separately like one spirit hosts). Though for balance reasons that would have to probably be a battalion.

@Sinarai I love that spirit of the mountain. How did you do the greens and the purple of the banner?

Doesn't that set come out in December? Stands to reason the next book could come out in December and have Slaanesh in it.

This book seems pretty perfect rules wise. A good way to update the armies without costing an arm and a leg. Makes me VERY excited for Nighthaunt in the book they are eventually in.

Laser scalpel.

If you can, try coming up against a competent KO, Seraphon, or Tzeentch player. They will take out 3-4 of your hero's before you can even move. It's very rough.

The problem with this is our army is getting hard countered from all directions. Shooting was our achille's heel before it even existed and now multiple armies are great at it. Multiple armies are also now coming out with a bunch of mortal wound protection. Lowering points are just a stopgap measure. I want them lowered to see if it can make them competitive against the meta. If it doesn't work then the new book is needed asap.

So lets theorize about our future here. I don't foresee warscroll rewrites until we get a new tome. But I can see Nighthaunt get "households" in one of these Broken Realms books. And I would love to see at least two of them allow different things to be battleline. Possibly: Dreadscythe Harridans in one that also gives more ways to lower bravery. Bladegheist Revenants in one that increases movement speed or charge bonuses. And this might be crazy, but Glaivewraith Stalkers in one. They currently have no real role in the army. They are outclassed by every other unit and are really only there if you have 60 points left over. Aside from that, in the December big faq I see Spirit Hosts going down to 100. When you look at where the game is now vs when NH were released, there are so many things that deal mortal wound son 6's. HGB do 2 and continue with the attack, LRL bowmen do them at 36-42" range and can potentially do them on 5's. That couple with the unit size of 3 they almost never contest objectives. I also see Hexwraiths going down another 10. Reikenor can go down 10-20. Mourngul goes down to 240-250.

Well friends, I'm all in. Ordered a Teclis, Avalenor, Scinari Cathallar, 20x Wardens, 40x Sentinels. Let's see how these bad boys fight

That's what I figured as well. Its odd because if you go to the builder and just put skinks in your army it goes into negative behemoths. Wanted to make sure before I bought a whole bunch of dinos.

I was fiddling around with the warscroll builder and I'm trying to figure this out. If I add 2 Oldblood on Carnosaur and 3 bastiladon to a list it says I have too many behemoths. But then when I add 3 units of Skinks it goes down to 2/4 behemoths. Is this just a warscroll builder bug or is there some rule I am missing that removes the behemoth limit with skinks?

A surprise reveal of "Vampire Army" being up for pre-order on Halloween would be most welcome. DON'T FAIL ME NOW GW!!!

Nighthaunt isn't on there either. FeelsSpookyBadMan

This article gives me hope. Nighthaunt is pretty much where KO was 2 years ago. Hopefully that means the spooky boys get a new book thats insanely overpowered 🙂

I honestly think the only fate point cost that would need to change is pinks. Trading 3 units of pinks for the 30 points of Lord of Change seems fair.

I don't mean, splitting generates fate points. I meant that rather than petty vengeance, killing a pink EITHER splits into a blue, OR the controller generates a fate point. So the controller has the option. Combine that with a 1-1-1 split and they could come down to 140-160 points. This way people who want the 30 wound anvil can have it, but a lot more summoning lists could come out. Getting a free 30 fate points turn one because you got alpha striked and all your pinks are gone is a cool thing imo.

I mean, I'm already working on lists that maximize minuses to hit. 30 wounds would become nigh impossible to remove. And I hate that by buying 4 start collecting boxes I have to buy EIGHT blue/brim boxes to get full value.

Oh believe me I feel your pain. I am currently building Tzeentch and so tired of how many models I have to build. They took away the fate points because they didn't balance the summoning costs, just like with Slaneesh. They need to either let them generate fate points, or only break down 1-1-1. Regardless, with Hosts Duplicitous its going to be a nightmare for armies without teleports.

Stuff like this is why I see another nerf down the road. I think they should just let pinks dying generate normal fate points. Then raise the summoning cost on pinks and lower some other things. Best case, pinks get a minor nerf. Worst case, Hosts Duplicitous gets nerfed like Petrifex did.
