  1. Right! So I recently started a Hedonites army and I want to know where to go from here:

    1 Keeper
    5 Slickblade Seekers
    11 Blisbarb Archers
    20 Demonettes
    5 Seekers
    5 Hellstriders
    1 Lord of Pain
    1 Infernal Enrapturess
    1 Shardspeaker
     

    (And 3 Slaangor but... yeah)

    Now I know probably should be looking at more Archers and Mortal Seekers, the LGS near me also has a cheap Dexcessa/Synessa kit. Thoughts?

  2. Right got a whole bunch of nighthaunt along with the xmas box.

    Olynder
    Reikenor
    Spirit Torment
    Coach
    Guardian of Souls

    10 Bladegheist
    4 Myrmourn
    10 Dreadscythe
    5 Hexwraiths
    10 Grimghast Reapers


    Where the hell should I go from here? This is already almost 2k points but is a little all over the place. Probably need some spirit hosts, but unsure what else to do.

    Looks like Warcry is going to get rolling updates: only Order downloads have been up and the warcom article basically confirms it.

    I really hope this is a "Monday to Friday" rolling update and not "Once a week until release"

    They said that destruction is tomorrow, so looks like "mon to fri" is it

    Filler week again. Just a W+ Loremasters on Ghur.

    Middle-Earth Preview on Saturday, which I didn't expect but no mention of GenCon? Could be they just sprinkle the reveals in throughout the week I guess.

    Will note however, they did confirm the free rules they'll be releasing for warcry will be ALL 800+ fighters and the factions therein, no mention of the compendium either.

  5. Spite revenants too! Also 3 attacks and mortals on 6s for spites. Kurnoth swords have 2 mortals on sixes but -1 rend, scythes get -3 rend and an anti-pile in mortal wound. Definitely interesting choices here. Revenant seekers are nuts in that they can res any model with 5 wounds or less in a unit, so Kurnoth and other seekers

    I think there's also a point to be made about the validity of the Orruk Warclans tome. As I read it it contains a faction which is very creative and flavourful in Kruleboyz who are however being seriously limited by overly complicated rules and a lack of valid options (everyone plays just one of the three subfactions). Ironjawz are really strong but lost some of their previous options and rules. No one seems to play Bonesplitterz, and Big Waagh is a disappointing mess.

    So while Nighthaunt and Maggotkin seem to have been buffed or expanded upon by their new tomes (and Sylvaneth look very promising as well so far), other factions like Fyreslayers, Orruk Warclans and appearantly Skaven have been weakened or limited. So 

    What do Idoneth players think? I don't gear much about them since a glorious crustacean future never came to path. Are they better or more fun now, or just slightly different?

    almost everything in the book is a viable option, there are multiple flavourful and powerful builds, nearly everything can be battleline(Just not all at once) and the options in the book have skyrocketed compared to the last few years of eels. I think Idoneth are pretty happy atm.

    I just opened my Echoes of Doom box and this is first time I see skaven models in person and they really dont look that bad, not sure if they really need update. New units and models are welcome for any faction and they really had to give them something before Sylvaneths but those units in box really dont need update before some of the worse looking stuff.

    The models in the skaven line most people complain about aren't those ones to be fair. They're the resin/metal stuff that permeates the line, along with models like Gutter Runners

    Definitely don't grab a second one, as you can only run one copy of the Lady of Vines. You'll be much better off getting a Start Collecting box to get the dryads that Lady of Vines summons, or the Drycha's Spitegrove box for some Tree Revenant battleline. You might want to grab another box of some Kurnoth Hunters too. However all of this is potentially gonna change once the Battletome drops – so could be worth just painting what you've got for now, then buying more once we have more information.

    To be fair even *with* the extra lady, if you can sell off the skaven it's a real good deal. 5 Gossamids, 3 Kurnoth and a Tree Lord are definitely worth more retail than half that box

  9. I just hope both of the old revenant units get something that makes them relevant, the buff to Namarti thralls was great and I'd love something similar. The current scroll for BowKurnoth is especially bad too when compared to Gossamids tbh.

  10. With awesome new centrepiece models my main worry is always that the rules mean they'll never hit the table. However I am so glad that LoV here is looking absolutely sharp. My only hope is she isn't completely auto-include, as that's not quite as fun either.

    Concerning Alarielle, I think the only nerf is that she will not knowthe whole lore : in the new Morathi’s warscroll, thé fact that she knows all spells is mentionned.

    Or it is a GW’s mistake but I don’t think so. But the rest of the warscroll is, I think, better so it’s not a big deal ;)

    In the new books warscrolls like hers don't have that line of text on the warscroll, instead its in the spells section in the tome.

    Hello, please could someone tell me if the Treelord in the start collecting box is the full deal, ie. with all the same sprues and build options (e.g. treelord ancient, or Durthu) as I'd get if I bought it separately?

    It is indeed, it's all on the same sprue(s)

    Wow, never heard of these before, very nice lore! Thank you!

    So, can we surely expect a good number of new models today? Indeed an unusual hype for a 'side-game' built up by GW.

    I'd expect a single model and a name, and anything more than that is gravy
