Seraphon broken realms box sold out in NZ in a couple hours (we haven’t had Stegadons for over 2 years). Local gw store isn’t getting any in either. I didn’t have the funds to preorder and was hoping to pick it up on release day 😥 I’m going to have to scour all the third party stores here trying get at least 1 (ideally 2) as I was hoping to run Stegageddon at a tournament in 3 weeks...

Almost 100% guaranteed no you don’t, his new warscroll will come with a points increase so he can’t be taken as allies. Yet another Order unit nerfed because of Stormcast/Grand Alliance armies abusing something

What is it with everyone wanting to ‘kill off’ new models? First it was everyone complaining Teclis and/or Eltharion didn’t die in Broken Realms Teclis and now people are going to complain that Lord Kroak doesn’t die in Broken Realms Balakor?

Weather it’s a dual kit with a regular slann or not, I’m definitely buying 2 and making one a normal slann. The model as-is with the headdress = Lord Kroak. No headdress and removing the outer floating bits = Slann (unless there’s an actual slann build in the kit, which I’m really hoping there is as I REALLY hate resin lol). Lord Kroak looks a lot less ‘mummified’ than before lol which is why I have hope it’s a dual kit only thing that surprises me, is that they haven’t made the new model a lot bigger than the current one.

That explains it, they were hoarding all the stock for their UK stores 😛 (NZ biggest GW only got 3 copies, and didn’t receive their preorders due to shipping issues)

I think you may have misunderstood. The post I was replying to said in 40K you don’t get Invulnerable Saves against mortal wounds (which is true) but I was pointing out that it has lots of ‘ignore wounds’/damage saves/feel no pain (whatever you want to call them) just like AoS does

1. There’s numbered tokens (why they go up to 5 when there’s only 4 hostile groups I do not know) 2. There’s 4? Mysterious Objects models on the spures 5. Gambit let’s you spend a activation dice (not a destiny dice though) to try and swap your initiative order with a hostile group in front of or behind you on the initiative track (you roll Agility and look up the results on a chart I believe)

From memory, Silver Tower also had a ‘glitch’ where you could randomly end up playing the final boss mission as your first adventure..

This. Lumineth aren’t powerful. They’re the ultimate ‘gatekeeper’ army, they mess with everyone rather than just a specific thing. Your top tier op net list that wins tournaments? Yeah you’ll still win, but you’re damn sure going to have to work for it now instead of (generally) being ‘point and click’

Mannfreds Legion Of Night would make sense to me and it’s something I’ve wish for a while

Sigh 😔 looks like my Lumineth are being put on hold. Stegadons have been out of stock here in NZ for the last 2 years and haven’t been restocked during that time, so I kinda have to ‘drop everything’ and pick up 2 of those boxes ASAP to finish my Wishlist of Stegadons (3x Bow, 3x flame throwers, 1x Engine). I didn’t particularly want any more Bastiladons but I suppose 2 of each option would be nice to have. now if only we could get new Saurus Warriors, Saurus Guard and Saurus Knights... I’m down for all the resin being replaced with new plastics too, but Saurus are the bigger issue for me

Assuming the narrative of BR: Balakor occurs after the events of BR:Teclis, the Nighthaunt probably don’t really care about the Stormcast anymore

The Sanctum specifically says it’s treated as an enemy model for the opponent though

This. I found the rumour unbelievable honestly, I am 100% sure that Flesh-Eaters aren’t being discontinued (the zombie dragon/Terrorghiest kit is shared with Soulblight for the mounted Vampire Lord for a start and I don’t imagine that kit going anywhere). So the only way that rumour COULD have any slither of truth to it, is if they were rolled into Soulblight Gravelords, but we’ve had nothing to suggest that’s happening, except maybe the similarities between the Grymwatch and Cursed City bats, but that’s not really enough of a hint to me. im a bit nervous about the possibility of it though. I have my issues with how Fec work now (mostly that list building is too difficult as you basically only have 1 Battleline option unless you take either a subfaction that only benefits a single unit type, or making an underling your general and wasting the command trait, and I think some units are overcosted), but we have no idea what changes, if any, would happen to their warscrolls and allegiance abilities. On the other side though, I’d look forward to finally being able to have Mannfred lead an army of Fec and not be gimped by being an ally

I don’t understand why, but Warscroll Builder (developed and maintained by a third party and hosted on Warhammer Community) is more reliable than Azyr has ever been. One is free, the other is a paid subscription. I expect better from Azyr tbh and haven’t used it in over 2 years because of these sorts of issues

Tom? From warhammer weekly podcast said he’d been told by reliable sources that the Flesh-Eaters battletome was ‘on life support’ and the endless spells were ‘not long for this world’ they then speculated about what that means for the faction for a few minutes

Most things don’t stack though? And anything that does probably shouldn’t anyway (Gaveriels command ability, Volturnos/Akhelian King command ability etc) That’s like the people complaining DOK were ‘nerfed’ because all their abilities changed to ‘wholly within’ - yeah just like every other army in the game lol it was obviously going to happen i have no sympathy over points costs as shooting units in general are way undercosted

I think how similar the bats from The Grymwatch and Cursed City are to each other might be a tiny hint, considering the rumour about the book and spells

Has anyone got ANY information suggesting Flesh-Eaters will be rolled into Soulblight Gravelords beyond the Warhammer Weekly rumour that the battletome and endless spells are going away? I just started Lumineth about a month ago because I didn’t want to wait for the vampires, but if Flesh-Eaters are rolled in then I’ll drop them in a heartbeat to expand on my Fec instead

Every other army is affected by Total Eclipse the same way Bonereapers would if it also applied to them, it wouldn’t be ‘unfair’ to bonereapers anymore than it is to everyone else. Bonereapers also generally get more RDP than everyone else gets command points so I don’t really see the problem

I get quite annoyed honestly when people say KO were ‘nerfed’. From memory, the only thing that changed was the Thunderers weapons were restricted to how many came in the box so you couldn’t just sit there on the other side of the board and spam the mortars anymore because that’s not how the army was supposed to play

Unless you’re in New Zealand where we’ve basically been back to ‘normal’ for over a year 😛 (occasionally going back into lockdown every few months when too many cases have passed through the border somehow) In all seriousness though, Lumineth don’t seem to get much play here from what I’ve seen. They’re pretty popular from a sales point of view, but that is most likely due to the exclusively painters

Yes this is how it works as far as I’m aware

‘Place it or leave it’ was added to 9th edition 40K so it could have been confusion on the players part. Additionally I wouldn’t be surprised if that carries over to AoS in 3rd edition. but as it currently stands, the rules allow you to place models where they couldn’t actually be physically placed as long as you have the movement to get it there

Yes I’ve heard the same here in NZ, email from HQ said it’s limited
