All abilities are optional unless they are Passive or it's otherwise stated that using it is mandatory. You can just elect to not use the 'More More Warpstone Bullets' ability
More-More Warpstone Bullets is only optional if you’re a massive bloody coward.

Where are you getting the mortal wounds on sixes? Speaking of which, where is the + to wound coming from. I vaguely remember it from a leak. Is the mw on 6s from something else as well, because the scroll doesn't have that intrinsically.
Ups, forgot it was Auto-Wound. I just parsed them out and my brain automatically converted them to Mortals.
Edit: And the +1 to Wound came from Urbaz. I don’t know where he got it from, so it might not actually exist.

Info is just straight-up wrong. The shooting is decent but even overcharged it doesn’t seem overpowered.

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.
That is correct.

Well, people were complaining that FeC's rules would be updated in months and the index is almost the same
Guess they were designed with 4th in mind.

No worries
I've talked to the lead designer and he seems to really want to make the game both easier to access for newer player but still interesting for tournament players.
That's not an easy task though, we'll see soon if his team succeeded or not! (I'm quite optimistic personally)
Honestly, there’s a lot of doomsaying at the moment but I suspect it’s due to them being salty that their faction got nerfed. I’m fully expecting OBR to lose some Rend, Protection of Nagash and either Soul Release or Mortal Contract (Though I hope it’s not Mortal Contract or that spell is transferred to Vokmortian because it’s thematic for him). I’m also expecting Katakros to lose Do Nothing! This One Is Mine!

Lol, say that in three years time when your army is still using the index, while everyone else is riding the high wave of power creep with their respective tomes. If you're unlucky, you might only have a proper book for six months before the next edition rolls around again.
I’ll take being able to even play the same game as everyone else, because OBR were unplayable until their tome.
-
Also, Kragnos has a 1/36 chance to do that. Personally I would’ve changed that ability between editions because it’s insane to balance, but I guess it was deemed an important part of his kit.

Yeah, DoT have definitely lost quite a bit of punch if judged solely by the preview. But like you‘ve said, it‘s too early to say for sure how good or bad they‘ll be when we get the whole picture. If points aren‘t really adjusted and heroes/units as expensive as they were before, then we‘ll suck big time. But I‘m used to to getting nerfed by now. I‘d rather play with a weak army than with a totally OP one to be fair.
DoT might’ve either stayed the same or even gone down slightly because you completely lost summoning and that was previously pointed in. So compared to everyone else, you’re probably in a good spot except on Kairos.

Really? I'm surprised I missed that bit, but I have been a bit checked out this edition. Where did that happen again?
The 3rd Edition Bonereapers battletome told us this and apparently he pops up in a small way in DB4. If you didn’t have both, you probably wouldn’t draw the connection, but it matches his MO to a T.

Just now, Sception said:
Was he? I remember Mannfred pushing into one of Arkhan's old relic storehouses and being repelled, but what he ran into there was definitely Skaven, not the Liche King.
Anyway, subtle spirit influence is more 'yelling from the penalty box' than escaping from it outright. 😛
I mean literally manifesting and attacking people, he’s not “Guiding subtly from beyond the grave”, he’s out there stabbing people and using Razarak to drop backbreakers on lesser wizards. So unless there’s another “Mysterious liche who shows up, speaks Nagash’s will, and then vanishes”, that’s Arkhan.

Whelmed was more or less how I felt about the nighthaunt preview, though I think even that one was a bit more exciting than this. I'm not saying ogors look bad, just not a lot of 'wow' factor in the preview. Maybe they'll get more of a punch up when the much-hoped-for range refresh comes later this edition, fingers crossed?
Hopefully that 'wow' factor picks back up again with FEC tomorrow. They only just got their big expansion and cool new 3e book, I didn't even get a single game in with it yet. You'd think with so late a book that their 3e rules would have been written with 4e mostly done, and thus there'd be a close correlation between their 3e and 4e faction rules - which would be a good thing, because their 3e battletome is pretty amazing. Yet all signs point to the FEC release having been originally intended for much, much earlier in 3e's lifespan, and only arrived so late due to various factors (covid, difficulties with the new factory) defrailing GW's production line for years, in which case there might be no more resemblance between FEC's battletome and their 4e rules than for anybody else.
And unless we get a big, unexpected swerve from Katakros, Olynder, Mannfred, or Neferata, then the whole king's blood plotline with Ushoran is the most interesting and active thing the undead have going, at least until Arkhan & Nagash are let out of the penalty box, so I really hope the FEC rules are impactful enough to help carry that narrative to the local gaming table.
So yeah, baited breath for this one.
Arkhan has already been leaving the Penalty Box. He just lacks a permanent physical body. He has been doing this since the 3rd Edition battletome and was mentioned in Dawnbringers 4.

I’m curious as to how they’re going to do the OBR now that I think about it- Deathless Warriors is baked in as a native 6+ Ward, Relentless Discipline needs to be reworked (again), Ranks Unbroken By Dissent means nothing without Battleshock, which leaves Nadirite Weapons which could be baked into the scrolls, and Ossiarch Commands which would eat up most of a page.

OBR are only played in tournaments if they're good.
In the defense of the OBR’s playrate this edition- Until we got our tome we literally couldn’t use All-Out Attack, All-Out Defense, Redeploy, Rally, Charge Reroll, or any of the good stuff that required Command Points.

OBR.
I hope so- With the changes to CP and Battleshock, we need to learn what exactly the Bonereapers DO now, because that’s 2 Faction Traits that need modification

maybe even chariots
Hard no. Katakros would absolutely slaughter anyone who suggested a chariot. He canonically hates chariots. Heavy cav? Sure. But never chariots.

the update, or the +1 to armor saves?
The update. I don’t know anyone that plays them IRL so I can’t comment on their saves.

In all seriousness I think COS can wait till 5th for a new Wave.
IDK, FS and KO take priority followed by Ogors and Ossiarch.
I’d put Ogors on par with the main 3 because the crust on them is thick enough to give them +1 to their armor save and they DESPERATELY need it.

Is so good to be an Aelf.
It’s good to be a Lumineth. It sucks to be anyone else!

Personally I have no stake in KO. But I LOVE their aesthetic and are one of the more unique Factions that GW produces and are AOS through and through.
Since release they have only had single model updates and that was 7 years ago.
I would much rather a new KO update than a new wave of COS, Lumineth or even Kruelboyz in 4th Edition.
Agreed, I have no stake in them, nor any love for them (I actually outright dislike the faction), but they’ve been neglected along with the other AoS exclusive factions. I’d sooner see them get 2nd Waves over more CoS, LRL, or GSG.

I'm not surprised, metallic speedpaint is a non-starter given how metallic paints and speed paints work. Speed paints flow into the recesses of a model and give you instant shadows because that's where the concentration of pigment is the highest. But for metallic pigments you don't want them highly concentrated in the recesses. You want the recesses to be dark, not especially shiny.
A high-coverage metallic and a dark wash are the real secret to low-effort metallics.
They absolutely exist and actually work pretty well, Army Painter makes them. They just don’t have a copper one that does what I want it to.

Contrast is amazing, I don't get why people look down on it. It's a great tool for beginners and for people who don't want to invest too much time into painting. I've even seen really good painters do amazing stuff with contrasts.
No metalic contrasts/speedpaints in the colors I want and the colors are rarely what I want, except Nighthaunt Gloom, Hexwraith Flame, and Skeleton Horde.

Kharadron Faction Focus Disciples of Tzeentch tomorrow.
It’s good enough that it doesn’t make me hate them this time. I think that’s about the best I can expect from the KO.

Because being swole with perfect skin in the Mortal Realms and not being a Stormcast probably means you’re Slaaneshi. It’s easier to remain undiscovered when you’re the twiggy unassuming nerd.
