  1. Royal menagerie? It's in the Battletome.
  2. Honestly, I'd always just assumed that a spell didn't count as successfully cast if it was unbound. The more you know, I guess.
  3. If I had to guess I’d say the new keywords are the FEC equivalent of SUMMONABLE. Just for FEC it will be multi tier.
  4. Until we see the actual mechanics and numbers I don’t think it’s possible to say anything substantive about how it’ll work in practice.
  5. Basically yeah. FEC lack for rend outside of Vhargulfs and Behemoths, so with a general like that you're best off just trying to tarpit them.
  6. Yeah, battleshock when outside of the Herdstone range is clearly an intentional weakness of the army.
  7. 4 Ghoul Kings is still probably only worthwhile if you're running Malign Sorcery, since otherwise there's just not enough spells to make use of the variety. But having 5 wizards on the table is pretty nice if you've got Endless Spells and a Realm Lore to pick from.
  8. Burning the trait? Majestic Horror isn't limited to once per battle. If your general has multiple Command Abilities that summon, they can use Majestic Horror to pump all of them. It's the Command Abilities themselves that are limited use, not the boost.
  9. I'm wondering whether it would actually be viable to run Royal Family (boosted with majestic Horror) and Ghoul Patrol in the same army for a huge surge of first turn summoning and magical dominance through sheer number of wizards. Probably not, but it'd be worth seeing if you could use the horrors/flayers and 10-ghoul units you can chain summon as distractions long enough to build your Ghoul Patrol units to an appreciable size.
  10. On the plus side, collecting FEC got me to embrace kitbashing models out of spare bits, because damn if I'm using a regular ghoul torso for my courtier and fielding my units under strength. Maybe if I delude myself hard enough, I'll see a 2E Flesh Eater Courts battletome complete with a new model release for actual courtiers.
  11. The Soulblight Faction write up is in Legions of Nagash. The fact it isn't in the new GHB just means it's not been changed.
  12. What's the exact wording on the new MH?
  13. The main weakness of chain summoning as a strategy (aside from the fact we don't know precisely what's been changed about the relevant Command Abilities and Traits yet) is that summoned units are at minimum size and there's no way to boost their numbers beyond that, which means they're always going to be in danger of getting wiped before you can heal them. Gonna be relying a whole lot on suicide charges.
  14. Seems like they want Command abilities to be more reactive and more Hero-dependent. Presumably means there's some incentive not to spend your Command Point during the Hero Phase if it can also be used for panic-button abilities later in the turn, especially as if you end up not using them the points carry over to the next turn.
  15. Hope we get a new TTS Slaaneshmas Special out of this.
  16. I don’t think Seraphon are likely to get squatted any time soon. Even if nothing new gets produced, they get regular mentions in fluff as a thing that exists in the setting. In contrast TKs *never* get mentioned. You don’t give exposure to something you want to disappear.
  17. Yeah, if you’re going to squat something you absolutely don’t want to draw attention to the fact. I mean, you’d be building heat for models you don’t sell anymore!
  18. It'd surprise me if the Mortis Panel isn't for AoS, just because the hourglass motif has figured so prominently in the Warscryer Citadel, the Knight of Shrouds and it's appeared in the "magic" preview video on some of the art. I mean it's certainly not impossible for it to be 40k related cause GW can certainly use similar motifs in multiple games, but the usage of hourglasses just seems so deliberate in the Malign Portents stuff.
  19. If I were a betting man I’d say any further elf stuff is likely to come after a Slaanesh release for an elves vs Slaanesh campaign. I’d say that’s more likely next year’s thing.
  20. No! We need Soviet Chaos Dwarves with steampunk submarines! Sea dorfs!
  21. Now I'm just imagining a Journey to the West style thing where Teclis has been transfigured into Tyrion's magical talking horse as punishment for his misdeeds.
  22. Still not sure why they think the more evilish aelf factions have to be in Order as opposed to Destruction, who could really use some pretty minis. Nonetheless Idoneth sound cool.
  23. While it’s true about the Roman alphabet appearing much more often in 40k, visually the hourglass symbol has been cropping up a lot recently associated with Nagash and shadeglass.
  24. I think it’s more likely Slaanesh will be the focus of the next campaign once Portents is wrapped up, and that this is foreshadowing. A campaign late this year or early next would tie in with about the sort of time you’d expect a new Chaos release based on existing patterns.
