  1. £50 if you get it one year at a time. Still, it's pretty much right on the bubble of what I would pay for a dedicated Warhammer streaming service.
  2. "Free" with an annual subscription. Still, the 40k model is super nice. The Ironjawz boss feels like a less impressive model, but it's actually for a game and army I care about.
  3. New table size is 44" x 60" for 2000 point games, just like 40k. Either call the 59" good enough or put a foam board on top and accept a minimal overhang.
  4. Someone posted a screenshot. Not a ton of info.
  5. I also remember a leaker on 4chan mentioning the name Mouth of Mork.
  6. Citadel Leadbelcher with a Nuln Oil Wash and optional highlight of Ironbreaker or Stormhost Silver is the standard go-to recipe for steel using the Citadel Range. Pretty much every other paint range will have a decent gunmetal, dark wash, and bright steel equivalent, so don't feel like you have to use Citadel if you don't want to. My personal recipe for orc metal for my upcoming Kruleboyz army is going to be Iron Warriors basecoat, Agrax Earthshade (maybe Seraphim Sepia) wash, selective application of Typhus Corrosion to add texture, drybrush Trollslayer Orange for rust, then add scratches and edge highlight in Ironbreaker. But I'm intentionally going for a very weathered style that's colorshifted to a warmer palette than standard. The quickest recipe for fur would be a dark brown with a drybrush of a light brown or tan. Citadel Rhinox Hide, drybrush Tuskgor Fur will get a warmer brown. Mournfang Brown, drybrush Baneblade Brown for something more neutral. You could use a wash, but both of the base browns are quite dark, so I'd question how useful it would be.
  7. Species keywords are pretty standard, though I'm not sure we've seen a unique one before. I'm not sure it's necessarily indicative of us getting more Drogrukh.
  8. Oh boy, my first Whitefang react! (To my knowledge anyway!)
  9. That was my first thought, but their points are much more in line with the other melee units, and all the ranged units are significantly more expensive. I'm wondering if we might get a more offensive dual-wielding or great weapon melee unit to contrast the spear and shield vindictors. Maybe a unit wielding the axe used on the chariot.
  10. All the news from GW makes it look like Kruleboyz are a subfaction of Warclans too. Hopefully the new Orruk Warclans battletome will keep the different clans as full allegiances with optional soup allegiance, instead of making them more traditional subfactions.
  11. Honestly, the queue is probably in place more to stop people from unintentionally DDOSing the website than to stop scalpers/bots. If implementing such a limited control puts more boxes in the hands of “legitimate” customers versus the secondary market, it’s a happy side-effect. I waited in queue for maybe 20 minutes, and had no trouble getting my two boxes, it was a pretty minimal time investment for me.
  12. For folks in other US Timezones, the whole US goes up at 10AM PST, so 11 Mountain, Noon Central, and 1 Eastern. If you live in Hawaii, you should be on the beach and not inside painting toy soldiers.
  13. Only a matter of time before GW starts running spectral chromatography on our models to make sure we're only using Citadel paints.
  14. Maybe they’ve added him to all the destruction army rosters in the GHB.
  15. Core book has its own Matched Play battlepack, plus the new narrative play rules.
  16. Yndrasta, the Anihilators, and the Knight-Vexillor are all on one sprue, as are the Killaboss on Great Gnashtoof, Murknob, and Boltboyz. These will probably be dropped from the starter sets and sold as Webstore-exclusive sets at a big markup, like the command frames from Indomitus. I’d bet on the following starters: $40 Starter with the Knight-Incantor, 5 Vindictors, Killaboss with Stab-grot, and 10 Gutrippaz. $90 Starter with the Lord-Imperatant, 5 Vindictors, 3 Praetors, Swampcalla Shaman with Pot-Grot, 10 Gutrippaz, and 10 Hobgrots. $160 Starter with the same minis as the $90 Starter, plus terrain and cardboard playmat. The Gutrippaz and Hobgrots might be reversed, but this puts a battleline option in all the sets. All prices are USD, reference the price of the 9e 40K starters in your local currency for conversion to Euros, Moose Money, or Good Boy Points.
  17. Most factions would have a hard time making lists that don't fit inside 1-3 battalions. Sons of Behemat might have trouble, because they don't have non-behemoth commanders. The only other lists I can think of that don't easily fit in Battalions are lists that spam big mounted commanders (good riddance, tbh).
  18. I don’t think anyone was using tripcodes or anything in the verified leak. I’d take the massive 3-year plan leak with a grain of salt.
  19. No time to game right now, because I'm preparing for a professional certification exam, but I'll have a couple weeks before the new edition to put some work into my Necrons project. Mostly taking a casual approach so I don't burn out before the Dominion box comes out.
  20. Commanders don't have to be 10+, sub commanders just can't be 10+. Just so you can't stuff three Ghoul Kings on Beasties into one battalion.
  21. Two artillery and a commander is a pretty significant tax to pay for that.
  22. I mean we only just got the new Flayed Ones and Heavy Intercessors outside of the overpriced Kill Team expansion.
  23. He's got the same save as the Killaboss on Foot with Skareshield, who's similarly moderately armored. They have the same save as the much better armored Megaboss, but the Megaboss doesn't have a shield. I'm fine with chalking it up to +1 for Orkiness.
  24. GW preorders go up on the 19th, the release date is July 3rd.
  25. I'm not super worried about the Swampcaller. I think his Boggy Mist spell is really only going to be run in a Kruelboyz allegiance army, while a Big Waagh army is probably going to mostly use him to pass poison to ranged units. I guess, even in Kruelboyz, the Boggy Mist would hurt Hobgrots and any other non-Orruk units the faction gets, which could be a factor if we get rumored Hobgrot Cavalry or any standalone Troggoth units. Still, the player should be able to tell pretty well if they're going to have any important charges with units that would be negatively affected, and can choose to use the Shaman for a potion or another spell instead. Also, it sounds like Kruelboyz will keep Venom-Encrusted weapons in a big waaagh style mixed army.
