[New Boxes Question]

I think it depends on how much you use or plan to use the war band, I primarily play untamed beasts so I have more than one box.  Where as I very rarely play iron golems so it doesnt make sense to get another box just to have all the options.

Hi command ability is identical to the bog standard Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount.  I thought that was disappointing, I expected one with a bit more punch for their new flagship hero.

Yeah, I refuse to work with resin so it's new for me.   I started the army right around malign portents but only built up to a 1000 points.  So for me it's very exciting but I can understand why long time players would be less than impressed.

The start collecting appears to be an easy build rather than full kits which isn't that surprising.

 

@JackStreicher sorry my bad,  thanks for clarifying.

Yeah and its reroll charges not add one I got carried away.  But I have 3 gorebeasts and that will help activate explosive brutality.

Yeah, I'm a little disappointed with that because the model looks amazing and short of him being utter garbage I plan on using in most of my lists.

If you go to the ge site and change to new Zealand the lords stats are downloadable he's a monster.  He boost chariots (meh) gorebeasts (😁) and knights.  Add 1 to charge rolls and to hit!

 

Well I think the lord is good but I'm used to the chieftain and the warqueen.....

I think so.  I was really surprised they didn't at least gives details about the new lord.

what do you think? Did I forget a unit?

The godsworn hunt and Theddra (who is included in the kit) is the only unit I cam think of

I'm hoping early January for spire tyrants and the warcry monsters.  It wouldnt surprise me if some of the data sheets are in the StD tome.  After all the war cry rules will be very different anyway.

I would love to see scions of flames around the same time frame I just doubt it.  

[New monsters previewed!]

The ogroid is awesome and the sphinx is incredible.  I cant wait to try them out!

I would love to see darkoath get a lot of support but I doubt it.  The chariots and the war shrine fit well aesthetically with the darkoath models.   I think we will get a  war queen on a chariot and replacements for the marauder infantry and calvary.
