  1. “FEAST YOUR EYES ON MORE TEMPTATIONS THAT LIE IN THE FUTURE! I ASSUME YOU BASICALLY GET THE GIST BY NOW. YOU HAVE COME CLOSE TO REALISING THE DEPTHS OF OUR DEPRAVITY, MORTAL – SEE IF YOU CAN GUESS WHAT YOU GAZE AT ON THE WARHAMMER 40,000 or WARHAMMER AGE OF SIGMAR FACEBOOK PAGES.” If that’s not something Slaanesh, gw are trolling their own customers
  2. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/01/01/1st-dec-the-top-5-things-to-look-forward-to-in-2019gw-homepage-post-3/ Surely this article is confirmation slaanesh are getting a release sometime in 2019.
  3. A few snippets that tease towards an large slaanesh release in the next month n half.
  4. Like I said originally, don’t believe everything you read.
  5. Can’t wait for this! I wanna take @Andy Bryans crown mwha ha ha
  6. I wouldn’t take these rumours too seriously. Call me skeptical but the last time someone came on tga saying they were in the know, it ended up just being guess work.
  7. I think it’s possible that people are mistaken in that the Slaanesh story ark being stricktly about Slannesh being freed/escaping (I know I’ve got on a tangent as this isn’t really what you were talking about). For example, what if due to the necroquake, Slaanesh is secretly syphining some of its power into one of the Slaanesh followers, and that follower becomes a Demi god. Gw might keep the story arch as Slaanesh being imprisoned for a good while. Alternatively it could be that Slaanesh is able to communicate to its followers or something. Model wise I’d want the mortals to be pristine and look like a parody of order. I’d like them to be mainly human, and maybe an aelven character also (like the druchii annointed).
  8. I’m not convinced that Slaanesh needs to escape before they’ll get a tome. No one knows what impact the necroquake has had - Slaanesh might even be able to communicate with his/her followers now. Alternatively Slannesh could be syphoning off his/her own power into one or more of the pretenders (while still imprisoned and without teclis/Tyrion’s/Malerion knowledge. Also the 3 Slaanesh subfactions could be completely changed as Slaaneshs location becomes more common knowledge. The way I see it is, when you think about it, the Slaanesh faction could go in a number of directions outside of the whole Slannesh imprisoned or freed time lines.
  9. @SwampHeart I spoke about Nurgle in my response to your message that in part discussed nurgle. I agree that a comparison to nurgle mw output is unfair, because we don’t have any real information - so I apologise for commenting on that. Thank you for allowing me to state that, ‘We don’t know how this works so you can’t say it’s bad game design’, I appreciate it.
  10. I assure you there’s no daemonising. That’s a bit strong. Ultimately it’s too early to be making sweeping statements about how an ability we know next to nothing about will ruin the game. Nurgle have lots of abilities that do d3 mws on a 6, and they rarely come off I assure you. But tbf if the grots have a hard counter against the survivability of hag queens surely that’s a good thing for the game. Anywayyyy id advise against early judgements with little to no information.
  11. I understand entirely where you’re coming from. But some of the posts in this thread are going a little further than voicing concerns, they read a lot like people who believe they know more than they do. But yeah you’re right, it’s a good place to discuss the game and our opinions.
  12. Kinda comical that people make judgements on a set of rules based on a brief description.
  13. The broken tooth and shaman subfactions may be mushroom focused. Broken tooth with some more generalised buffs, and shamans magic buffed. Then the spider one, spider heavy with spider battleline options.
  14. I suspect the 3 theories of the bad moons origin that the Loonking mentions, will be sub factions within the tome.
  15. I’ve been considering this combo for my 6 pusgoyles. The abilities do stack. If they come down in price next GHB it could be great.
  16. I agree planning will be well in advance, most large organisations have a minimum of 10 year planned revenue stream (as stated). I simply believe that gw will look to take full advantage of how the hobby is booming. Just my opinion though.
  17. I suspected that Slannesh would be coupled with Malerion and teclis, but I’ve changed my opinion on that. Gw have stated clearly that the Slannesh following is thriving regardless of the incarceration of the god. That and the fact wrath and rapture is on way, makes me believe that a new kos and maybe some new mortal units will be out 2019. They can do this and then still hold back the Slannesh vs Malerion/teclis story stream for 2020. Although I agree that gw will have a planned 10 year revenue stream similar to companies like marvel, I also think that: A; gw do not have the scale of marvels cult following and need to strike while the hobby is so hot, and B; the mortal realms are so limitless that there are simply dozens and dozens of amazing factions they could do, to keep that revenue stream pumping for 10 years (and many more).
  18. @Saxon That’s absolutely incredible. @Zplash I’m surprised if it does 1. But I’m pleased for you if it does helps you to kill off a hero. It appears that my experience is very different from you guys. Fair enough though, everyone has their own experiences. But my own personal judgement is already made
  19. I do appreciate the correction, thank you. If I’m honest I try not to rely too much on averages because every dice roll is unique. I agree, understanding the whys js important.
  20. Fair enough. But even with that in mind, 7 is not a strong casting value. You’re right about unbinding, as your helpful tool shows, the opponents chances of unbinding is good (not even taking into account unbinding buffs). An important point to remember also is our lack of casting buffs. Unfortunately magic is not something that nurgle dominates. When the tome first came out the strength of squall was its unlimited range meaning you were often out of unbinding range. With the release of aos2’s 30’’ unbinding bubble that strength has been removed. Even deluge of nurgles power has been diminished, and I think squall has become really quite useless.
  21. Bloab and rotigus casting it in turn 4?? It’s a mortal spell and can be cast once a turn. Think you may be a bit confused. If what you mean is you’ve cast it alongside Bloab and rotigus signiature spell, that’s not a great evidence base, because the two other spells you’re talking about can easily do 8 wounds without squall. In my exp I’ve seen it do very little. 6’s on 7 dice is statistically poor. Plus the casting value of 7 means it’s gonna fail more than it goes off, and that’s not even taking unbinding into account. Like I said, in the dozen games I’ve tested it, it’s done nothing. Although I’ve heard it be ok for some people, I think it’s a waste of a spell (compared to nurgle lore and realm spell options).
