I've been a bit of a wet blanket about speculation. I think the scrolls are changing too much and the points are uncertain enough that there is little to talk about. I think Saturday morning you will see tons of great content.
-
I think it's fair to be disappointed. It looked like there may be a cool new design for mortals coming. Instead we are losing two mortal warscrolls. I feel like we will be still gaining at least one, maybe two in the hellstriders. I'm still excited to see what we get.
-
So I know this is a change of subject, but I'm really interested to see if hellstriders become 2 unique variants. Maybe heavy cav with the spears and a harass or buff/debuff unit with whips. We will know soon, so it may be stupid to get excited, but I am.
-
Darkling covens are still a thing friend. They have an allegiance and are still sold
-
I'm kind of torn. Fortunately I have a lot of slaanesh demons and a unit of hellstriders already, so I pretty much have a hedonites army, but I'll be afraid to invest too much knowing a whole mortal expansion pack will be coming out in a year or two...or more
-
I think it's abit hasty to think they are dumping warriors of chaos. Like I said, I bet they will get folded into a new everchosen book. If they redo all the old books they need to do everchosen. We will see them there. As a side note, do you guys think hellstriders will just become a new kind of demon? They had mutated heads, maybe they will no longer be mortals. Also I wonder if we will get an armored knight variant and an unarmored light variant. The kit could do it.
-
The website folded slaves into everchosen. I think darkoath fluff was that they are basically marauders from total war. They don't worship the gods directly. The models they've shown have just been updated marauders so far, so I feel like we are just getting barbarians and no warriors of chaos, an I assumed no god specific stuff. They may do the batallion thing though. I actually don't like that style.
-
As soon as the foot lord stopped being sold I figured he was dead. I'm surprised the boob snake is gone. I feel like he still fit in. It makes me wonder if we are going to get god specific humans in darkoath. It looked to be undivided, but it would make a lot of sense to lose all other mortals if they fell into darkoath. I hope hellstriders are still battle line, or at leas got a buff so they can be more than banner bearers.
-
I think the lord on foot is straight up dead. They are no longer selling the model. As for the mortals I think we need to see the book. The previews make me thing everything is changing, so it is too early to get excited. That said I love using 40 man marauder squads for Holding ground. The shrine of slaanesh makes them fearless and they previewed some stuff too. I've been using them with flails for some time and they are pretty decent when their bonus to hit procs. The 6 to hit = 3 hits will be a nice bonus for them too.

I think khorne was never really khorne. It was more a foil to stormcast and a showcase of what aos was about. Now that so much time has passed I think that identity is irrelevant and now they don't know where to go with khorne. They ended up just embracing death triggers that only work in cc and are poor trades along with ways to shut down magic. Whoever wrote the new book sees that as khornes primary identity and it ended up kind of lame Slaanesh on the other hand is fast, good in cc and manipulative of units, especially heroes. That's his fluff and that appears to be what we are getting. Hopefully it rocks.
-
You guys leave khorne out of it! That is a wound that will never close for me. I can only hope that new slaanesh is as fun to play as old khorne mortals.
-
So I've always hated the chariots. I have a few, but I don't use them anymore. Anyone have any ideas on what might change for them? I imagine they might go the way of bloodcrushers for me, where they just do less with a higher chance.
-
Yeah, I'm happy with the aos stuff. I like how temptation changed. Either d3 mw or a bonus and chance to die.
-
That got me so excited for a second. That stuff is kinds junk for 40k. I play demons in 40k and I wouldn't field any of that. I will admit I haven't played 40k in a while, so it could be meta changing, but the fallback thing is not guaranteed and the bravery stuff is usually junk. I'm also not excited about cc monsters in 40k.
-
I don't think anyone is arguing that this terrain feature isn't amazing for enrapturesses as they stand, but I'm afraid they will see some bad changes with the new book.
-
That's been frustrating me. I'm so certain the summon points, points, warscrolls, allegiance, and items are going to change it seems pointless to even anticipate how things will be or what to move forward with. There are even models we have no idea how they function yet. I'm just painting my old stuff that still needs it for now so its ready when the time comes... It's still frustrating forcing myself not to speculate yet...
-
Just some insight as to why "Slannesh sucks!" In the minds of the community. So extra attack gen was what demonettes had before and it was okish. Then it got the huge nerf of being unable to chain generate attacks. They also did not have reroll 1 to hit. They were not very good, especially without the slaanesh allegiance. Now on paper to players like me who played a lot of slaanesh at the start of aos the rr changes didn't look like anything. I had to be told they were good and even then I was skeptical until I hit the table with them. You really need to see it to believe it, and I think most people haven't seen it yet.
-
I agree, but all the other terrain recently that I've seen has been in out deployment zone [perfect for enrapturess spam] I think we are fast enough so we can probably handle having the gateway limit the area we summon, but it's still marginal to me. In a backwards kind of way this is very promising. A trash free terrain feature would indicate that the army as a whole is very strong and cant have a big boost from its terrain. Makes me hopeful we will have some good warscrolls and point balances to look forward to.
-
Maybe it could do something for enrapturess spam. They get depravity and reroll hits on a 2+. That could be nasty. However for anything else a possible reroll hits for one round and a guaranteed wound sounds trashy. The depravity return is nice. That alone might be worth it, but it's only a 12" area
-
Sounds like I just saved $35 for not needing a new terrain feature to me.
-
I'm thinking demonettes might keep their euphoric killers, but I imagine it will be the same as the previewed ability and not stack. The bloodthirsters get reroll 1 to hit on charge as a warscroll ability still, but the khorne allegiance grants them reroll 1 to hit all the time. We will know in a week either way. Anyone hoping to see Morathi get a cult of pleasure again? That would be cool.
-
I'm pretty sure someone already mentioned bestigors, but they would be pretty sweet. as far as stealing unitS, it would be mad cool, but hard to balance... Too hard. Still a fun idea though.
-
I agree, this opens the door to other units. I think no matter what since we are dealing with one die face instead of two for large units it will be less consistent, however It may add value to other units. I think we need to see if any other units could benefit from this ability more than demonettes. edit: I think this rule benefits bad to hit good wound weapons. I'm going to look for some. I'm eyeballing flail marauders and great weapon warriors
-
I'm not sure our math checks out. It seems to be worse just rolling dice.
-
I guess the reality is we neen to look at units with a higher volume/density of attacks per points. Warriors? Marauders? I'm not sure, but I think there are units out there that would like to be demonettes. I also bet the lord on foot's ca changed. It just granted this to a mortal unit. Maybe it will be good.
