thanks Dude !! Yes, for the blessings we can put on this thing I think trading the rampage and chieftain rules is a fair trade off

yes indeed Also the mammoth bravery stacks so a unit within range of two charging mammoths take the cumulative hit. I used to always run the general with the banner and the helm for added goodness, and yes when it goes off, it's a thing of beauty. I also used to run the cursed ettin as his mortal wounds used to be on the modified bravery of the target unit, now it just says bravery on his warscroll so I wonder if that's the modified or listed. Either way, very good. What the mammoth has lost however is the rampage rule - this gave any unit within 3 auto wounds if the mammoth was wounded but, we've gained marks and that's worth its weight in gold. With the bloodsecrator and mr whippy, and the warshrine buffing them they become pretty lethal. Unfortunately we've lost the chieftain - who allowed a marauder unit to make a d6 move towards the enemy before any other moves. - brilliant for getting marauder horsemen in the face of the enemy turn 1. and don't forget, however feeble, each mammoth gives you some free short range shooting as well.

Ive got two, and ive just sourced a third so colour me happy! cursed ettin, three mammoths, warshrine, marauders and horsemen ally in mr whippy and the secrator and you can colour me happier than a happy thing on st happimas day oh and talk to me about the four bronzed flesh ...

problem was that this was an army list option in the original throne of chaos Legion list. They shelved it as there are no models with that option, and obviously we're not going to see any now. then again, there's no skullcracker anymore or siege giant but that hasn't stopped them from putting it in the compendium update...

THANK YOU FORGEWORLD!!!!!! THE MAMMOTH GETS TO CHOOSE MARKS!!! YES YES YES!!!!!!! my khorne slaves will be overjoyed!

sorry - just realised.

Soul wars are up https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/06/05/soul-wars-announced/

well you've got one already in the form of the knight validor harbinger from malign portents, so I'm sure there are more to follow. The harbingers have been new faction characters hidden in plain sight, so life's looking good for grots and slaves to darkness given what we've already seen.

like I said above, we got one more week of imperial knights to go as the the special character knight is a ,model in his own right, and coming out next week. Then you'll have your pre-orders, so 16th for pre-orders and 23rd availability. There's going to be a big fat box just like 40k with the rulebook in it as well as toys, and also the ghb 2018 will probably be there as well. Nighthaunts battletome won't be out on release weekend, they want to give you a little time to digest the contents. oh and very interesting background twist to the nighthaunts hence not part of the legion of nagash book when that dropped.

we've got 2 weeks of imperial knight releases and then it's the big wallet emptying I'm looking to 40k launch as an indicator of the price point and the box contents with the big rulebook. I'm also looking forward to the Slaves to Darkness battletome.. er.. if that were ever a thing, - given that the harbingers have been heralds for new factions hidden in plain sight

great army and concept who do you use to print your parts?

your conversions work on so many levels - really good stuff.

brets it is then boyo... with a nice splash of narnia fantasical beasts and druids to boot

indeed, but I wonder if having it on the map means that the other gods have cottoned on to this now?

I'm probably saying nothing new here, but have we noticed the slaanesh symbol on the map now between the realm of shadow and light?

yes yes and yes

Think about it new shadespire war bands hidden in plain sight

do we have someone there who can ask questions to the forgeworld team about the chaos dwarfs and all of their other fantasy range?

yes but their fantasy barbarians will be Darkoath and their leader will have boobplates and a northern accent Also worth considering that if we can now use multiple command abilities, would cheaper but more plentiful heroes might be more useful than big point sink heroes? I hope they do it, and yes that would make perfect sense for the giants, skin wolves mammoths, warshrines and all of that other never quite was part of a chaos gods chosen portfolio of stuff. I see them almost like they were in the old world, not worshipers of chaos as such in the same sense as bloodbound or warriors of chaos but people who live under its skies - the same as the humans who fought along side the undead in the Shyish against the nurgle incursions. I'm biased of course as it's pretty much the army I run with my slaves to darkness, marauders, mammoths, curs'd ettin warshrine, and horsemen. Maybe they will become what models are left from the slaves to darkness if they don't become part of the everchosen, or maybe thats the separation - armoured slaves become everchosen, and nekkid slaves become darkoath. who knows!

Now here's a thing... When reading about about the new Warhammer Heroes collectible card game on the community site they mention this: The game will be a digital and physical hybrid – all your real world cards can be scanned for use in the online version i really hope they carry this through and make it work for battletomes and other literature in the future. Imagine buying the hard copy and then scanning the barcode and releasing the digital copy. That copy would then be tied to your apple id or android equivalent to stop people buying an old copy off the bay from taking advantage - a thank you for buying a new copy if you will. I have to say paying twice for stuff I like just so I can unlock scrolls and battleplans etc in azyr app gets a bit stale after a while, to the point where I'll buy physical and digital GHB and that's it now.

I'm not there, but a chap from the heresy forums is.. So i've asked him the same questions. The dragon is mahoosive. Larger than the smaug model they did, and that''s been haf of the delay- engineering it so it actually could take its own weight - probably on the wings by the look of it.

I'll leave this here...

so that's where all the centaurs went

ahh yes... but is it a skaven skull?
