The keyword is bold, so yes. Both of them have the keyword Butcher

I was trying out yesterday slapping a Frostlord on Thundertusk in the middle of a unit of ironguts and moving them up the field together. He had the range to attack over them, and he also had the 3" giving out always strike last if you didn't charge. It worked out pretty well

Someone will do a full reveal of the book tomorrow almost certainly.

We've already seen the one that brings yeti's back

The Thundertusk is uh, kind of bad now. It is slow, doesn't do much damage in melee and really doesn't do a huge amount shooting on average either. I still think the Stonehorn will be solid, losing run and charge sucks, but the mount traits might make up for it. Basic ogres look really damn solid

I am deeply excited for anything that can buff my beastclaw up, having other ogres in there is just gravy. I do hope that the Huskard on Thundertusk becomes a real priest

Did they go last chance to buy before the book, or the same week it went up for purchase?

You did get the Tzeentch stuff at least, but yeah I get where you are coming from on this.

Ironfists will get better even if the only change is unmodified save roll of a 6 works. But I wonder how much stuff will get changed entirely, I am super sad to see the old resin butcher shown off in the article, I was hoping they would replace that awful model. I am fine with all the old plastic models, I just want a plastic butcher!

What is the wording of the Stormcast/Ironjaws mount traits that will let us take it on a special character? Or is it just that the limit for special characters is only no Artifacts of power and command traits?

It also says May on the top of the FAQ, yet the front page lists it as having an update.

It is listed as having an update, and it is one of the newest books. Will wait and see if it switches over at some point today I don't think there will be point changes, but there very well might be rules changes/tweaks. I am pretty sure they said Slannesh was too new to get point changes yet

The current FAQ that switched to english is still the one from May, so we need to wait to see what the actual July update looks like

They do a pretty decent job in laying it out, I imagine there will have to be an errata on the terrain maybe?

Pretty much yeah, the last time I used them aside from in silly games was the first GHB

If Gargants didn't fall over rolling doubles I would totally consider taking them

Q: If a warscroll or set of allegiance abilities has a rule that contradicts the core rules, can I use it? For example, Lord Kroak has a rule that allows him to attempt to cast Celestial Deliverance up to three times in the hero phase, but this contradicts the core rule that you can only attempt to cast a spell once per turn. A: Warscrolls and allegiance abilities take precedence over the core rules that appear before the core rules for battleplans, warscrolls and allegiance abilities. This allows you to do things that would not normally be allowed. In the case of Lord Kroak, his rule means he can attempt to cast Celestial Deliverance up to three times in the same turn. FYI, this doesn't let you ignore the GHB rules, they aren't even in the core book and are not core rules. They are specifically matched play rules changes.

I could 100% see a book with a bunch of the human/Dispossessed in it. Unlike a lot of forces, they actually feature very prominently in the fluff (Especially the Malign Portents stories). There are certainly humans in the realms, but I think they are trying to figure out a way to release them. A lot of older factions are destined for the garbage though.

The new video talks about Moonclan, Spiderclan and a few other beliefs. It seems to be all the existing Gobbo factions and trolls

God I want some new destruction stuff, it is hard to get excited to play a lot of those factions vs some of the newer ones

Forgeworld's rules are kind of a hot mess, this page doesn't even have the proper points for the toads (Which went up the same points as plaguebearers) and I can't even find the document for it now since they seem to be altering the documents on the site for the new AOS.

That is the thing, I like the hold objective cards for the free easy glory. But I do see how you could build a deck without it. I'll need my undead cards first

I don't have my undead cards yet, I was a nice person and gave mine to my friend since his got delayed. So I'll have my undead cards later this week

Here is what I had in mind for my first draft Objectives (12) Hold objective 1 Hold objective 2 Hold objective 3 Hold objective 4 Hold objective 5 Too dumb to die Dere's more of us Biggest an' da best Good scrap Contained Denial Conquest Ploys (10) Gorkamorka’s Blessing Healing potion Confusion Sidestep Brutal but Kunnin’ Kunnin’ but brutal ‘Avin a good time Distraction Leadin’ by Example Deafening Bellow Artifacts (10) Great speed Great Strength Great Fortitude Daemonic Weapon ‘Ard Head Waaagh! Crush and Cleave Brutal Swing ‘Eadbutt Unkillable

I think one of the best cards from the ploy section of the orruk cards for anyone to use(And big warbands love it) is Dual strike. You count one model, as two for supporting. Which is huge for bloodbound and not getting hammer attacks. Also for low, but reliable damage you can take Low blow - Equipment You treat both hammers and swords as successes. Shadeglass darts is another I like, 3 range, 3 dice (On swords) and 1 damage but +1 damage on a crit Distraction is another, it's like sidestep but you target an enemy. Daemonic weapon is great for one of your little peon troops as a surprise. (Equipment) 2 dice (Hammers) Damage 3, but when you attack with it, take a damage. So you equip them with it, throw them in and not care if they die anyway And last but not least, the ploy stay on your feet. If you have a model die adjacent to another friendly model, you roll a dice and on shields or a crit they take no damage and live.
