  1. More rumours. Part of the Putrid Blightking warscroll confirmed see Rumour Thread or Herokaupp: 5A 3+ 3+ and Rend -1. 4+ sv still there. Not sure about Ws. Still only 1" reach. Exploding 6s probably gone. Apparently big point hikes for GUO and Glottkin although this is unconfirmed.
  2. I respectfully disagree. Maybe I can convince you otherwise. Firstly, there is no reference to a specific battletome it just talks about which units will be good in 3.0. Secondly, when do you think the new battletome was written? I doubt the new battletome was written, tested, printed and ready to shipped in December if they started it after June. It takes longer to produce than that. I think therefore they were already playtesting the new rules and the "errors" in the article are actually because the author is talking about the new battletome. You're right Ws do not matter - my bad. Still they have 7 currently so moving to 8 as stated in the article. I am not convinced its an error. It might make sense if they are losing the 5+ ward. On only getting one model? What do you think the rumour engine is then? Not a nurgling? Just curious. At least the pessimism over the new battletome is fitting for Nurgle!
  3. The info on the Pusgoyles came from the Warhammer Community article on Maggotkin in 3.0 https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/06/19/dying-is-for-the-weak-not-the-maggotkin-of-nurgle-in-the-new-edition/ The player tester states that with 8W Pusgoyles now count as 2 models so are better for holding objectives. He also goes on to suggest using a Harbinger to give them a 5+ ward. As you can't stack wards I think the daemon keyword has gone. I know some would say that the article was rubbish and should not be trusted but I don't think this can be dismissed as the info is too specific - why mention it at all otherwise. As for the new miniature, there is an unsolved rumour engine with what looks like a nurgling. So I suspect that is another miniature coming. Looking at the latest announcement on the new BT we have a few snippets: Diseased battle trait, an army-wide ability that withers any enemy units that are nearby or that have taken damage from Diseased Weapons. The various plagues and contagions have more impact, and the troops are just as hard to put down. Even more so if you bring along their most powerful daemon, the so-called Loci of Fecundity. So I think we will see some interesting changes where daemons boost effectiveness of abilities and resilience possibly army wide. This might make mixed mortal and daemons the way to go.
  4. The only things we know will be included so far are based on articles that have been published: - Pusgoyles +1W so will count as 2 models each. Lose their 5+ daemonic ward. Possibly get rend 1. - Locus of Fecundity - not sure what it will do gamewise though. - New miniature in addition to the revealed sorceror. There is a rumour engine with possibly a Nurgling playing a bone flute. My predictions: - the palanquin makes a return to with a new revamped Epidemus. - either he or the Harbinger is a Priest. - the Wheel goes or is reworked. - synergy/proximity with characters is more important - as per previous comments a change to the go-to elements i.e GUO bell - improvement to nurglings Unrelated but should we not be creating a Maggotkin 3.0 thread?
  5. Surely it must be a Silent People warband in the works...
  6. I totally agree that these are puff pieces at the end of the day. Nonetheless it rare that they contain massive errors in them. That suggests that some of these articles were written based on new BTs in mind. The only point I am making is that some points changes are also probably based on new BTs.
  7. Do people not feel that some of the points changes could possibly due to new Battletomes coming out soon which will change armies anyway? I noticed that the Warhammer Community article on Maggotkin contains some strange advice and glaring errors e.g Pusgoyles having 8W rather than 7. The same article also recommend Nurglings which have gone up by 10 points! This was written by a playetester. I suspect therefore some of the weirder points changes are because some factions have a BT coming out soon with warscroll changes.
  8. Thanks @Whitefang for reacting to my post! I wonder if it might be worthwhile rereading some of those tactics articles for other factions in case there are potentially other "reveals". It might explain some of the points value changes if some Battletomes are ready to go soon.
  9. Hi everyone, I posted this in the rumours section and Whitefang reacted with Love It! Is the Maggotkin battletome just around the corner? I noticed the Maggotkin 3.0 series article was up on Warhammer Community and was pretty confusing. Firstly it was recommending Nurglings which have also gone up by 10points. It also recommends Bloab. But the most curious was that it recommended using the Harbinger to suport Pusgoyles for a 5+ ward. It also mentions in the article that they have 8 wounds when they have 7. So was this article written with the new battletome in mind or just filled with glaring errors? Seems like pretty big errors so I think the Battletome is soon. - +1W for Pusgoyle but no daemon 5+ ward Maybe also losing the daemon keyword? - Nurgling points increase +10points could that be because they will get a daemon save? - does the big points jump for PBKs mean they will get rend?
  10. Not sure this should be in rumours but is the Maggotkin battletome just around the corner? I noticed the Maggotkin 3.0 series article was up on Warhammer Community and was pretty confusing. Aside from recommending Bloab and Nurglings, it recommended using the Harbinger to suport Pusgoyles for the 5+ ward. It also mentions that they have 8 wounds when they have 7. So was this article written with the new battletome in mind or just filled with glaring errors?
  11. Is the whole of Ghyran regrown and cleansed from Nurgle's influence or just part of it? Would seem to be a big change to the lore and setting.
