    The current ungor raiders warscroll is in the "Grand Alliance: Chaos" book

    I was eagerly awaiting for Darkoath this year as well. I hope GW doesn't move their realease around too much and we wait another year or so ?
  3. Infernalslayer
    Thanks for the teases! So i guess Darkoath are reserved for 2019 then?
  4. Infernalslayer
    Thinking i will have to wait at least months before any Darkoath/Beasts previews and i am getting a little crazy over here for information ?
  5. Infernalslayer
    Indeed, i got very excited when i read about Darkoath/Beastmen. I do hope there are additions for our current herds armies and these are not specific "werebeast" models for the Darkoath akin to the Skin Wolves, with no link to the existing herds.
  6. Infernalslayer
    Darkoath and Beastmen in the same sentence had me excitedly screaming like a school girl!!!!!
  7. Infernalslayer
    Apart from those that you mentioned, only Epidemius who is currently finecast as well.
  8. Infernalslayer
    The one that is currently listed at the Games Workshop site is finecast (resin).

    Also Aspiring Deathbringer's command ability now triggers at the start of the combat phase so you can't even use it in a list with Archaon who needs your heroes to use the commands in the hero phase for the free triggers.

    Another FAQ for the Disciples of Tzeentch battletome "Pages 75-136 – Chaos Spawn Change all references to ‘Chaos Spawn’ to ‘Tzeentch Chaos Spawn’ (including the name of the warscroll on page 131)." That means that the Chaos Spawn warscroll in the Tzeentch Battletome now has a different name and no longer replaces the Chaos Spawn warcsroll in "Grand Alliance: Chaos" , so we officially get back our spawns with chaos marks!
  11. Infernalslayer
    If you go Grand Alliance Chaos though, you cannot take the "Mark of the All-Favoured" as it is a "Slaves to Darkness" artefact. That would limit any possible buffs to the allies pool of a "Slaves to Darkness" allegiance which is 400 points of allies in a 2000 points army. In my opinion that would make it a very weak artefact indeed, unless it does unlock for the bearer any mark specific abilities in his warscroll.

    They probably meant that every battletome/tournament army that could summon in AoS 1.0 would get a summoning revamp in AoS 2.0. Brayherds are an underdog army and they likely didn't want to spend more time on them than necessary so they just replaced the summoning spell of the Bray Shaman with a generic one. It does feel that the herds lose more flexibility with each General's Handbook since 2017 and i don't think this will change in the foreseeable future, unless they ever decide to give them an update like with Daughters of Khaine. I will keep mine for casual games at home for the time being and spice up my games with some beastmen characters from the first General's Handbook compendium. ?

    Indeed, i said that generally all the units in the Maggotkin Battletome have high costs because the warscrolls are good so the points are fair, they are not overcosted. My comment was a response above, that someone finding 320 points left to include the Chaos War Mammoth in a nurgle army is not likely if they want to play competitive Nurgle ?
  14. Infernalslayer
    I hope so as it is a gorgeous model and i have been long desiring one, putting on hold any conversions that cross my mind for custom mammoths as they wouldn't be as big as the real deal. Still not sure if i should put my faith on Forgeworld and buy more miniatures from them, if they intend to make massive changes to warscrolls with every revision, unless this was a unique occasion in cooperation with GW rules team in preparation for the new edition.
  15. Infernalslayer
    With everything in the Maggotkin battletome costing a lot of points (not overcosted in any way, just high point costs as the warscrolls are good) i don't think anyone would have an extra 320 points for a mammoth if they wanted to play in very competitive environments. So this is just a welcome addition for those that want more miniatures to play with, nothing that would break Nurgle. Khorne is my largest and first AoS army so i know how you feel, i am very disappointed with how they (didn't) handle Khorne this edition as well.
  16. Infernalslayer
    They will probably nerf them mammoth next year , like they did with the Exalted Greater Unclean one this time, even if it doesn't see any tournaments. I didn't even expect to see it included in this year's document since they phase out everything they don't sell so it was a big surprise to see it get a retouch. Especially since it is a model out of production that they no longer sell, i don't have faith in them keeping it a "reasonable" warscroll in a future revision.
  17. Infernalslayer
    I feel a little bad for not getting a nicely painted Tamurkhan at a good price on ebay a few months ago. That said if you pick Tamurkhans Allegiance with your maggotkin, you must use their command trait instead of a maggotkin command trait and your first hero to get an artifact must take the one from tamurkhans allegiance so your choices get limited for getting the extra "Winds of Corruption" ability with your army.
  18. Infernalslayer
    That is really unfortunate if they don't buff him, since he is still the same overcosted as in General's Handbook 2017. Here is hoping that if they do a "Slaves to Darkness/Darkoath" battletome in the future we will see warscroll changes and buffs like they did in Maggotkin and Legions of Nagash.
  19. Infernalslayer
    Chaos Warriors and Chaos Marauders are sill generic Chaos battleline in General's Handbook 2018 so they can be count for it in these armies. Marauder Horsemen, Chaos Knights and Chaos Chariots (with Horses) are Slaves to Darkness specific Battleline.
  20. Infernalslayer
    I always assumed that, i saw the inclusion of the Tzeentch marked spawn in the Disciples of Tzeentch Battletome as a fill-in for the lack of a Tzeentch equivalent to Khorgoraths/Beasts of Nurgle/Fiends of Slaanesh. The Slaughterbrute later recieved a Khorne version warscroll and the Vortex Beast a tzeentch version but their old generic Chaos warscrolls are still valid. I believe the person that did the mass replacement of old warscrolls with new ones when Tzeenth released, just replaced the old Chaos Spawn warscroll instead of adding the additional and they never bothered to fix that as there were not many people pointing at it.?

    I am confused on the Fleshhounds being on 60mm ovals. It is a buff to the unit since you can pile in more of them, but they are sold with 50mm rounds and the Fleshhound from Shadespire comes on a 50mm round as well. I rebased mine last year from the old fantasy rectangulars to 50 mm rounds and it was a pain to do and repaint the metal parts were paint got stripped. I am not eager to rebase and paint them again this time, only to see them getting a plastic release with maybe 50mm rounds in 1-2 years ahead.
  22. Infernalslayer
    Nope, same as in GH 2017. The only StD units that saw points changes are the Chaos Warshrine -20 and Lord of Chaos +40. They also seem to have just copy pasted the ally tables from last year's General's Handbook into the new one. Slaves to Darkness still can't take Monsters of Chaos as allies which doesn't make sense lore-wise or game-wise.
  23. Infernalslayer
    Wanted to use some mortal rotbringers in a few 1000 point games to avoid big Plaguebearer hordes since we play in 4x4 tables. Can i fit Harbinger of Decay and Blightkings effectively without hadicapping myself much?
  24. Infernalslayer
    Just finished converting my first 10 of the 20, they are so old models that they look bad next to everything so i had to do many head swaps, and add extra beards and fur and skulls on their shoulders. By the time i buy another 20, convert them and paint them, i bet official Darkoath might have been released and i will feel bad for not waiting patiently for them, haha. ?
  25. Infernalslayer
    Ungor Raiders will not have a reduced cost bonus for taking them in 40s in the new edition because their minimum unit cost came down by 20 points per 10 models. I think they are ok to run in 30s now as well, what does everyone think?
