Well Shyish is not actually Necromancy. It tends to be anti undead in practice. Nagash created Necromancy by corrupting the Wind of Death with Dark Magic. Which is why Necromancers are so creepy looking cause of all the Dark Magic they use.
-
It's nothing to do with Counts as. The Witch Hunter is super iconic, and it's kind of a shame they appear to be leaving the game. A new Witch Hunter model would be cool.
-
Ok then that is cool. I guess the only real casualty I care about then is the Witch Hunter.
-
Kind of sad Battle Wizards appear to have been removed. I wonder why. When I first checked the stuff going away, they were not on it .

ALL SKAVEN WARSCROLL CHANGES BREAKDOWN
Envyus commented on AIdenNicol444's blog entry in Acolytes of the Withered Word
I think the Skyre stuff is pretty cool. The Weapon teams, Artilerty and DoomWheel can send out scary amounts of damage. A lot of it is at slight risk to themselves, but that should not bother a Skaven General. -
AKA people are once again jumping the gun and complaining despite not having all the details.
-
I don't mind the stormfiend changes at all, It makes them more useable out of the box. And they went down in points to compensate.
-
We don't know that. We have not seen the book and the guy that reviewed may have just not clarified that allies don't count.
-
I don't see the issue with some units being battleline for certain factions. If you want to mix other things in you have clanrats as Battleline.
-
New Grey Seer sheet.
-
Thanquol needs his Warpfire throwers toned down however. 2d6 mortal wounds for free is a bit too strong. His unique spell needs an upgrade too. (Maybe dealing d3 mortal wounds to all enemy units in a line maybe, D6 wounds if they are skaven units in the way.) It would reflect his habit of getting his minions killed, while making more than just Arcane Bolt but worse.
-
I think they already did. A malign portents story features a Skink leading members of his temple ship into action, with details showing they come out of the Spawning pools in the ship like they did in fantasy. And them saying their Slann is inactive so they have to take action without the input of the Slann. In fact from the sound of it, the summoning is just the Slann teleporting them down from their ships.
-
I imagine Hammerhal will be detailed. I have doubts about Azyr though. I don't think that can be detailed until the main game allows stuff to happen there. As there are currently no rules supporting playing in Azyr.
-
The Idoneth are more neutral I would say, as they do whats needed for their survival and feel bad about it. The DoK are just straight up evil. They worship the God of Murder and their Queen is evil and treacherous as are the Daughters themselves.
-
I know, but there is variance is all I am saying.
-
Note quite. There are actually quite a bit of variance in the Space Marine between the groups of them and Heroes can be found among them. The Stormcast likewise have variance, some are just as dogmatic and ruthless as the worst Space Marine chapters. The Knights Excelsior for example are really no better than what they fight, Killing people just for witnessing their battles, being sick or defending the sick. A short story showed one of their leaders stating he was willing to torture and burn every resident of a town to discover the vampire within.
-
To elaborate to everyone the Dankhold Trogg shown on the site is the default one. We have not seen the variation that makes the Trogg Boss other but it may be the white one holding a centipede in the leaks
-
I think the White Trogg holding the centipede in the leak images might be the Troggboss.
-
There is also the fact that the group that gets it is called the Gavespawn. And Morghur's title is "The Shadowgave." Anyway really happy to see Beasts all merged back into one faction.
-
There is another new book that is focused on some humans. Which looks interesting.
-
I don't his brother sucked as King and it was more that was Nagash's justification for wanting to usurp him and take what he viewed as rightfully his.
-
Nagash's view of Order is simply control. As the core book says. Nagash wants it so that everything down do someone's eye blinking is under his control, as his megalomania has long passed his sanity. One of the first things Nagash ever did when he created Necromancy was murder his brothers wife who he lusted for and animate her as an undead doll that would do what ever he wanted.
-
It makes sense Balthas is a good character. Cause he was a good character before he was a Stormcast. The fact he has so much history behind him as Balthasar Gelt pretty much makes him the current best stormcast. (Not a huge fan of Vandus he is pretty basic and boring, plus his new name is lamer then his old one.) And it makes sense Glymmsforge is not amazing, It's not a major metropolis or anything. Of course stuff like the living city would be more impressive. But it does not need to be super impressive. If every Order city or town was on par with stuff like the Living City, there would be nothing special about them.
-
Nagash is right that turning everyone into Undead is probably the only way to permanently destroy chaos, but that is no better then chaos winning. Nagash from minute one even back in the old world was a cruel and evil Tyrant that is not doing any of this for the greater good just for his own power. Nagash is no better then the Chaos Gods and outright plans to usurp them. I like Nagash and his armies, but he is a pure villain and there is nothing grey about him or good about his point.
-
Oh the Made to Order stuff. I can't for the life of me understand why they discontinued Gorbad there. Like he fits in really well with the current Orc line, it just makes no sense to me that they kept this Orc Warboss. Yet this much better looking Orc Warboss was discontinued.
