    Does anyone else feel like this special weapons issue would be resolved if we had a points system reintroduced for them? Like 1 in 10 bloodwarriors can take a glaive, but it costs X points, and obviously apply this to all units in all armies with special weapons. Edit: I am also aware that this would need to be more of an AoS 3.0 sort of fix, not an FAQ or errata.

    Hi, so I'm about to embark on a peculiar project. I'm planning to make a pretty oversized orc boss using a bloodthirster as a base. With that in mind, someone recently pointed out that squigs look a lot like orc heads and that I could potentially use one (with some work) to become my orcs face. Does anyone have information about sizes of the existing squig line? I know the mangler is probably going to be too big (unless I use an exalted bloodthirster, but I'm not made of money). Thanks in advance.

    Well you only need it for the warscroll right? Why not use the app? And fair enough if you like having hard copies etc etc but for the sake of 1 warscroll I'm sure it will be fine.

    Just make sure to cover it in spikes or blades. Skullcrusher kits have quite a few in them if you didn't stick them all over the model.

    I wouldn't just put a knife in his hand, I think it would need to be a fist weapon of some sort or a bladed shield. Could you possibly attach the blade to his fist somehow? Nowhere in the description does it say it's a shield, just references a "counter punch". So as long as it looks like he can punch the enemy with it I think you'll be golden.

    I added some extra bits you missed. (I'm sure I missed some myself)

    Language is fluid, not static. That is something you need to accept.

    You're probably better with chaos warriors for that. 90 points for 10 wounds but they can make saves against the blood sacrifice.

    Personally I prefer the marauders warscroll and base size and would take them every time if they could fit in our battalions and had better models.

    I was intentionally trying to keep my post non committal. Every person and gaming group will have a completely different opinion on the topic. Personally, my friends and I don't care as long as it is communicated, but I also know of people who are staunch WYSIWYG players. Neither way is wrong, and I think the majority of people in a casual setting will give you some leniancy as long as you aren't totally abusing it. If someone asked me if they could use skull reapers as wrathmongers to see how they play before buying another box. I'd say sure, go for it. But if they tried to keep doing it for months on end that might change things. Also tournaments are typically 100% WYSIWYG, there shouldn't be any room for misinterpretation in a competitive setting.

    No you can't, once you've chosen them pre game, that's what they are for the entire match. Some people will play "what you see is what you get"(WYSIWYG) where you have to play them as what the models physically have equipped, some people will be more lenient and let you play them however you like. You still can't change them mid game though.

    The easy to build ones from the starter box only came with reaver blades, no meat ripper axe option unfortunately. I've been holding off painting mine until I can decide whether I can put the effort into converting them or not.
  14. Retro
    How do they stack up for size? Edit: never mind, someone already mentioned they're a bit smaller.

    Has anyone seen leaks of the new conditional battleline units? If there are new ones at all that is. I would love to see wrathmongers as battleline if you have smart bloodwrath as your general. Or even khorgoraths if you take skaarac.

    The only problem is that most of the hammering will be on the charge. I feel like they will be tar pitted quite easily if you choose your target wrong or someone charges them first.

    I just noticed they cleared up mighty lord and korghos khuls flesh hounds. They count as mounts for all rules purposes. So no more double attacks with mark of the destroyer!
  18. Retro
    Yep, that's what it is. There used to be argument that it was each model just had to have part of the base within x", but they cleared it up at some point

    True, I feel like wrath of khorne has dropped in value a bit with his command ability nerf.

    You could use that 80 points for an exalted deathbringer, get the battleshock immunity back. On the topic of losing battleshock immunity on the bloodsecrator, I feel like that made reavers a lot worse, those guys cut and run verrry quickly without it.
  21. Retro
    This was pretty much my plan, seeing as I now have 2 built thirsters, 2 unbuilt and a skarbrand ready to go
  22. Retro
    It's also now 1 or D3 per model that makes contact, not just the whole unit. That's a lot more mortal wounds (potential).
  23. Retro
    Yep, but it is 16" and wholly within now. Also, no battleshock immunity
  24. Retro
    That was a common interpretation of his damage table, and I think how a lot of people played it initially. It was later FAQed to be the same as what it is on the new warscroll, this way it just removes any confusion.

    There was a announcement about lots of new battletomes for all grand alliances. The destruction picture had an ogre on it, I think that may have been the start of the rumour.
