[The Rumour Thread]

The zombie dragon's ability seems interesting. I'm sure it is just me being a hack and a fraud, but it kinda seems like he can double charge after he got in combat the first time. Doesn't that mean he can just YOLO over the screen towards the backline?

Hell, if I read this correctly he doesn't even need to end in combat with the first unit he charged.

Definitely not hopium because I painted three last month.

Okay, interesting. I think I see where they want to go with this. They probably looked at all of 3rd editions battle tactics and tried to find a balance in difficulty and complexity for the Universal Tactics.

In addition, they're probaly trying to combat the disbalance in seasonal battle tactic feasability per faction by giving out Grand Alliance-specific tactics. I could see that working since the grand alliances do often have a playstyle overlap. It would also be a return to grand alliances mattering in a meaningful way.

This could be interesting. Let's see how it works out.

I can probably assume that suggested table size will remain the same, right? I wanted to buy a battlemat, but opted to hold off until I was sure table size remained the same after I almost bought the old objective markers. Though if they were gonna change it, surely they would have said so in the last article.

I expected bodyguard or retinue to become a keyword that certain units had that incentivized foot heroes. I am not sure if honour guard being a seasonal rule means that that expectation is now more likely or entirely disproven. I suppose at least for the first year it is mostly true, so I'm happy.

I expect mortals only/daemons only for command traits and artefacts. The khorne update just now seems to indicate that is their direction for monogods as a whole.

Would Strength of Godhood and Warlord Supreme synergize with each other or would the triple command still count as one? I imagine it has to count as one or you can have -9 rend and +9 damage on every warlord melee attack by issuing a command every phase before combat.

So Some latest Underworlds rumours point towards Malerion Umberneath coming 

1st: 

from last year and both the top 2 have happened

2nd: 

Stormcast hit both sides from Skaven and A shadowstalker looking aelf 

3: 
"

A new darkness surrounds you. Water scales the walls, which shift with unnatural affect. At your feet, tendrils throng and pulse – but the light of a torch reveals nothing but brackish water.

Your mind scrabbles through past mysteries. What penumbral forces control this dread realm?"

4: 

New rumour and the boots look very much old Dark elf style especially darkblade

I think if Umbraneth are planned anytime soon, the dok battletome will have them listed as allies or coalition. I saw that tease as the only reason to update their battletome so soon.

While I'd love that, I'd also be happy with darkling covens as coalition option, perhaps in a har kuron subfaction. Based on the underworld band males are less discriminated against now maybe.

I haven't even got to play with this dok battletome yet and they announce the next one. Oh well, I wasn't sure if morathi-snakebows was gonna be fun or not in the first place.

Dang, I was almost finished painting my first aos army of exactly 2k points of dok, featuring 3 blood stalkers. 😢
