[Are Mortal Wounds a good mechanic?]

mortal wounds on 6+ to hit on a unit that just has high attack output (like the old bloodletter bombs from when bloodsecrator portals stacked) is bad but mortals on 6+ to wound seems alright for elite units.

flavorful mortal wounds like the nurgling disease if the wounded model survives also seem fitting.

I think they should be a bonus rather than something you fish for

[The Rumour Thread]

So kurnothi are the next broken realms book?

I have escaped my prison probably is referring to slaanesh's stomach.

could be the kurnothi are siding with destruction because they freed themselves after slaanesh escaped instead of the aelf pantheon freeing them when they had slaanesh locked up.

I'm just as excited to see Vampire Warband as everyone else but I think I'm more excited for the 1st of April for the Orruk, Gitz, Silent Ones(?!) Warband reveal!!

its actually a gargant but he has to go around on his knees like an adult play-wrestling a child

I think its gonna be a Slaanesh BR book and a Umbraneth Tome in Febuary

Kind of like how Skaven got a book last year in January then Carrion Empire release with Flesheater Courts in Febuary.

[The Rumour Thread]

looks like a zombie serpant. 

[The Rumour Thread]

slaaneshi erotica writer calling it.

But its more classy refined erotica that you read with a glass of wine to reflect the new direction they are taking slaanesh

[The Rumour Thread]

honestly, i just want vampirates for the zombir hermit crabs with shipwrecks for shells

[What do you do with old models?]

Personally, I've stripped some but kept the first model I finished painting and the most memorable model from the unit I'm repainting.

The kept model can also be a conversation piece if somebody notices it hiding among its more refined brethern

I'm pretty sure the giant Khorne dragon was listed in the Khorne profiles. I'd love to see CD in plastic but we don't have any evidence to indicate that.

kind of weird that only LoA and Vorgorath are included and not Gloomspite stuff still in production (troll hag, squig gobba and collosal squig) didn't check mournghul

[The Rumour Thread]

so in a leak photo, I saw LoA profiles above the maggotkin profiles but none of the other FW models alongside their respective armies. Are chaos dwarves coming to plastic?

I don't think we will see anything as big as this (just look at those tiny Liberators) but its a good sign (what is the largest kit in the AOS range currently?)

what if those are just trick-or-treaters so only 4' tall kids in costumes rather than 8' tall stormcast

[The Rumour Thread]

So do we think the rumor engine that looks to be straight up taken from the total warhammer shipwreck golem's leg is going to be Vampirates or just a repurposed mesh for Sons? We might find out saturday

[The Rumour Thread]

edit: double post

[The Rumour Thread]

we were tricked, Sons-oB were the ruination chamber all along and its just a chamber of stormcast gargants

I don't think the models are bad but they do not do the lore justice.

This. After Skaven, Ogors, and STD, I'm no longer expecting any Seraphon kits to be cut without a replacement.

I'd still kill for a new SC box like STD had though.

Skaven got cuts

[AoS 2 - Legion of the First Prince Discussion (Belakor)]

Most degenerate 1000pt list I can think of

Allegiance: Legion of Chaos Ascendant

Leaders
Verminlord Corruptor (280)
- General
- Trait: Primordial Commander
- Artefact: Fourfold Blade
- Lore of Ruinous Sorcery:  Bolt of Ruin
Verminlord Deceiver (320)
- Lore of Ruinous Sorcery: Echo of Hatred

Battleline
10 x Pink Horrors of Tzeentch (200)
10 x Pink Horrors of Tzeentch (200)

Total: 1000 / 1000
Extra Command Points: 0
Allies: 0 / 200
Wounds: 44 

Deceiver casts echo then skitterleaps corruptor in, corruptor cast the 2 anti horde spells, rest of army advances towards objectives, corrupter summons plaguebearers behind him, corruptor charges, corrutor does  ~14 mortal wounds from his attacks. Now they have to deal with an effectively 27 wound model who just put a decent size dent in their entire army if all the spells went off while the rest of your army marches forward. Skitterleap also has a 26" range if you want to try and evac your corruptor

[AoS 2 - Legion of the First Prince Discussion (Belakor)]

So the Chaos Dragon has 14" flying movement, 2d6 shots at 9" 3+/3+/‐1/1, another 9" shooting attack for D3 mortals that has a 50% chance of another mortal for anything that attack kills, 2 casts/unbinds, and a spell that causes a unit  within 18" to fight itself on a 7 to cast. 

Seems like a fun model but 10 wounds at 340 points seems a little fragile

[Playing after being tabled]

if the game isn't over and each side has a way to win still, I don't see a reason to end it. The only reason I could see to end a game early is if a player is unable to score enough points to catch up even if they got every possible remaining point from objectives 

[AoS 2 - Maggotkin of Nurgle Discussion]

I wonder if lord of affliction and blightlords could be good in a wanderers list. 7 wounds 4+ save, reduce rend by 1, 5+ nurgle save (with another one if you have a harbinger who is also a daemon) would be pretty annoying to deal with. Then the lord is a pretty mobile general to put the "one last gift" bubble where you need it.

with the 16" move from the LoA' ca you could probably get one in your opponent's territory first turn to generate more contagion to summon plaguebearer objective holders. 

I don't play enough to really know how this would turn out in practice but seems like it could be fun in a 1000pt game

[Katakros VS Archaon who would win?]

Here's my theory.

Archaon was going to free Slaanesh but was called back to retake the Varanspire. Who benefits most from Slaanesh being imprisoned? What is Nagash's biggest weakness?

Nagash's master plan is to keep Slaanesh imprisoned as part of a deal with the Great Horned Rat. In exchange the Great Horned Rat agreed to give Nagash 5 minutes of peace.
