Yes because pestillens have the nurgle keyword and can be taken as normal troops, the battalion also has the Nurgle keyword iirc.

Man those Skaven seem to be Nagash’s biggest nemesis outside his own pride. They’ve managed to screwdriver over his plans how many times now? why is ****** a bad word? I know it can have certain connotations but it’s also a tool.

The betrayal was sort of in both sides so to speak. Nagash being the god of the dead believed that all dead were his to deal with. And he wasn’t too happy when he discovered Sigmar had been using souls of fallen heroes and righteous people to create his Stormcast. When the Chaos Gods launched their new assault at he end of the Age of Myth, Sigmar was expecting Nagash to come back him up during one of the battles with his army of dead. But Nagash instead stayed home in Shyish and let his allies lose the battle and subsequently the war. Sigmar basically went “fine be that way” and then booted him out of the pantheon. Creating Grand Alliance Death in the process.

The interaction is that the wild wood becomes deadly terrain that would affect any Sylvaneth units that make a normal move or charge on, in or around it. If they are currently in the woods and don’t move, nothing changes and they don’t take damage. Teleporting units will also be unaffected by this.

I Would yes because of those reasons and the death from above does not prevent if they are removed and set up on the same turn.

Correct. Currently the only armies that can use the the Grand Alliance artifacts and allegiance abilities are the ones that do not have any of their own. But GW didn’t program their warscroll builder to take this into account and left it so you could choose them all regardless.

Yes a regular hero doesn’t have the same restrictions as a named/unique hero does.

Skarbrand cannot use command ability himself because he is not allowed to have the ability, because he is a unique character. He would require another demon unit nearby to activate the ability to place on him.

If going to do that then it needs to apply to all priests in the game. Not just Daughters.

We still have six-seven other factions that need battletomes. Could announce Sylvaneth book proper. Updates on the other 1.0 armies with times.Talk more about forbidden power and warcry in detail. Pull a Blizzard-Activision and announce a long awaited game... for cell phones.

Really only time it should be considered 3.0 is if it’s a new core rule book. And for people who point out that GW never called it 2.0 they did call it a new edition of the rules when they announced . So it’s at least 2nd edition Sigmar though I guess some people have attached the 2.0 moniker since it’s felt more like Sigmar is actually being fleshed into a game with tighter rules and a more coherent storyline vs what is was in 1st edition which was like early access game.

No the graphics weren’t that bad. It’s more closer to using metal models and then upgrading to higher detailed plastic .

You missed the key point though. They made a sequel, even with how good the original was they went and did a 2.0 years later. Just because it is software and not physical does not invalidate the comparison. Though they did go back and remaster the original. Even more considering Starcraft was based on 40k originally. Empire space marines, Tau and Tyranids. It was still a finished game, FAQs and wreaths are just patch notes for physical products. the game has asymmetrical armies that contain multiple units that can be built in a multitude of ways and there are certain combos that are extremely overpowered. The main big difference is they only had to balance between three factions not the.... how many we have in sigmar?

I’ll just put a pointer out on Starcraft and just leave it there... Also they have basically done this for 40k now. All the armies are updated to 8.0 now. Though there is rumors that they are transitioning to no more codices and just doing campaign books with new models introduced as they move the story. Another answer is also because of new blood and rules changes. What if they make everything on par for 2.0 and then when it’s settled they move to 3.0. New turn mechanics, spellcasting in combat phases, d6 dice are all changed to d10s. Maybe it’s more solid than 2.0. If this draws in more people to play in your area are you going to be an elitist and snub the new ruleset, or join in so you can play with more people?

In before it’s another week of Legacy Build to order metal units and rules. We’ll see some of the metal Slaanesh, Khorne, FEC (vampire counts) and Skaven units that have been OOP. Did Manfred have a model back in the day?

The inverse is also true. Just because you liked 1.0 doesn’t mean it was a good ruleset for everyone else. It was decent but it had several glaring issues that needed some fixing for a fair group of people. The allegiance abilities give more flavor to people who want to play with more complex rules and higher levels of competition. They are completely optional if you don’t want to play with them hen you are not required and can just use your models and warscrolls. As for campaign books we’ll see what happens. Malign was half a flop from what I’ve heard, though need to give GW some time. This is the first time they have a narrative that isn’t sitting at doomsday is tomorrow.

I don’t know if you understand how sprues and injection molds work. This isn’t something that is just snapped together like Lego pieces to make a sprue for models, it’s designed and sculpted as a solid piece that is then made to be injected with plastic. Taking out the pieces that make one model on a sprue that contains multiple other pieces to other units is next to impossible without rebuilding a fresh new mold to be used. Tha my or printing the entire mold to cut out the pieces for each individual unit. Which if they already had boxes of the other things it’s just making too much and wasting plastic. They didn’t want to do that and so it’s now gone. And the 2.0 support is there the battletomes are to make the flavor and abilities of each army come out. All of this is being designed right now to make each army unique. They could have waited unitil they had it all together but then we’d probab be waiting another year to even get ANY releases for ANY army or battletome. And by then people would have moved on or complained about lack of rules..

This is very old GW thinking. Imbquite sure they are more focused on the overall health of the game. The move to 2.0 is still transitioning because they had to get all the 40k armies updated to 8th edition before they could shift focus on Sigmar for expansion. Like it or not we are always second fiddle to the sci-fi child of grimdark. Excepting Sisters of Battle, 40k is done with the codex books and now we can have our time for every army to update. Let them get everyone on the same page first so all armies are 2.0 compatible and then we’ll can start complaining about how xyz army needs new a new line of models.

Could have been a production issue that came up. Probably was intended for Christmas sales and then delays happened and they had already hyped the release so just went ahead and released

That's been on my mind too. So many online games now have some kind of pay system for things. Be it cosmetic or like MtG cards from new release sets. Which I could see happening for Underworlds is having to pay for card sets or war bands..

I think the timing was GW trying to have something besides Army Collection boxes for the Holiday Season something else to hopefully get some snags from shoppers looking to gift their WH playing relations.

I wouldn’t say an 8ed book means anything. There are several factions that no longer exist that all had 8ed updates.

Hmmm totally new game company. No idea who anyone is cause the site just says they are making this game. Not that they have ever made anything or if the company is made of any old pros. The trailer looks good, just kind of wish knew that these guys had experience making similar games.

Morathi was Slaanesh’s High Priestess hiding among the Elves with her Pleasure cults for years before they started retconning her evilness away to being slightly mad and grieving woman who worshiped Atharti (basically the elven goddess not-Slaanesh instead.)

It was confirmed by GW that the lords are not in the books so unless there is some odd reason to not put a Slaanesh unit in the book they are gone.
