I'm doing a Celestial Hurricanum for my Sylvaneth army and going to replace the small 50x100mm rectangle base with a 170x105mm oval. The extra size will allow me to have two pairs of fey steeds pulling it as well as more interesting basing details. I did an overlay of the two sizes using PowerPoint, and it isn't really as drastic of a size increase as it may sound.

I think our rumor dice are cursed. We keep rolling befuddled.

Yep. I wrote that incorrectly. Should have been 50%.

A 4+ save is only a 50% chance of success. Rolling again still is only another 50% chance. To even get the second roll you have to forgo any further movement for the turn, basically bunkering down.

How are you coming up with those numbers for the Kurnoth Hunters? A unit is only three Hunters, and with the maximum possible hits and damage, they could only possibly do 18 wounds with the bows. Even if they were shooting point blank into a unit, with the bows, Quiverlings and Trample underfoot all added together, that is only 24 wounds. The Vanguard Raptors you mentioned can possibly put out with every shot hitting and doing maximum damage 18 damage. Add in their Aetherwing companions you get an additional maximum six wounds. That is on par with the Kurnoth Hunters. Also, three Kurnoth Hunters have a maximum of 15 wounds per unit. The Vanguard Raptors have a maximum of 6 per unit. Where are you getting this 60 effective wounds number? Kurnoth Hunters have been part of Sylvaneth armies at tournaments and have hardly broken the game.

Perhaps it is a game marker for the long awaited Death faction of Blood Bowl.

Those are insulators. The picture looked like to me too. Maybe some sort of Duardin power weapon?

I think they are only showing half of it. There is what appears to be a hinge on the lower right side, and it is definitely a locking mechanism. My guess is some entry hatch, or a cover for a boiler or coal fired furnace.
