So the Shattered Dominions ROB board comes in a box rather than the carry bag of the original ROB. Was this the case with the Sector Imperialis board as well?

Sector Imperialis also came in a carrying bag. I have it in my closet.

Yeah so reading the extract to the lord of undeath it has neferata in it. I need this book now. Going by the extract it seems to be her story in the balance of power book in a novel form.

I wonder if there are more parts to it since I assume this is the final realm gate war book I think or there might be one more.

She has a cameo role in Balance of Power book but its not much than that sadly - hoping that she is in it more and as she was in the old novels

Definitely getting the Khorne Bloodbound set!

The Architect of Fate

New starter set?

That's art from the All Gates book(page87). Odd that they would re use it for a new boxed set. Could we be looking at a smaller box more like the Storm of Sigmar or start collecting boxes in content?

Pretty sure it is a photoshop. You can see an irregularity in the lower left corner

I don't get why GW don't move into the gaming mat market. Official themed mats sold limited edition with an army release would sell like hot cakes surely.

If they made gaming mats they would just sell them just as costly as the boards are. This is GW after all. Also GW is in the plastic mold business. If they made gaming mats they would have to out source it to China since they don't have any print facilities to my knowledge and would just be cheaper to make them in plastic than outsourcing. Could be wrong of course on that part though. But why open up a chance for a company to start making gaming mats and then make their own company selling the same thing then?

Ok I have been harsh on GW art. This is actually really good.

I would say this is good, but why does the beast (or in this case the canasaurous) still have a stupid grin? I still see it grinning.

@Davor: Erm... it's about to bite someone in half. You've seen lizards with sharp teeth, right? You could say that about pretty much anything.

The bases look cool. Really like the orc shaman versus slann artwork.

Look at the edge of the mouth. Not where the teeth end but the "lips" it's still grinning.

You guys have seen snake mouths, right? They have the same/similar look to the mouth when it isn't fully open.

I think the mouth looks fine, but it looks like the artist lost track of one of the hind legs. Hover Lizard!

Well the Carnosaur is striding across broken ground. You can see one of his hind legs.

Yeah, but it's incredibly jarring to see that he has no left leg. It's not hidden; it's been forgotten.

The Architect of Fate looks interesting, the Tzeentchian guy on the cover looks like the Tzeentch Chaos Lord on Disc, but he is finecast so maybe a plastic update?



And he is clearly fighting the current Lord Celestant miniature as well. Have any of the reliable rumour mongers given any estimated dates on its release?

I thought that - clearly inspired by that model, but the art is bare chested:

So is the model, I believe.

The novel expands on the balance of power story. That story is only the first part of the book. The book goes into more detail on why nagash did not turn up at the all-gates, how he gathered the mortarch's and what his plans are. Oh the book also has quite bomb shell for stormcast players I think. If you ever want the full story on something you need to read the campaign books AND the BL novels.

So I was really sold on the the new bases until I saw this picture. The official paint jobs are much too garish, these look at lot better and fit in with the new board very well. edit just noticed an article about them on the web store blog.

Can anyone with the digital copy tell us if the point values were added to all units/scrolls or if it is just the ones in the generals handbook.? I bought the paperback copy but when the app upgrade came up today, it stated the handbook was $15 and included point values for all?

I have the digital copy as I live in Japan and there aren't any stores near me. It has everything in the handbook except the beastclaw Raiders for some reason. It has the forgeworld points, though not the silver tower points yet. It also does not have a points calculator yet which is a bit disappointing.
If you have the physical version there is no reason to get the digital one as well. A good points calculator might change that.

It is also worth noting that the iOS version is fine but the android version is very unstable after the latest update.

I still have no real idea how to use the scenery Warscrolls. They're not units and don't have points, can I bring them as part of the army? Or do we both just agree to put them down during setup? So annoying.

It seems like you just say "Hey I'd like to use these rules for the scenery". If both players agree, then the warscrolls are what you should be referring to instead of the random table.

That's the impression I've been given at least.

At the local GW we have been treating it as a free thing you take as part of your army, but incorporated into the rules for the terrain set up.

Bassicly you just say you want x to be a terrian feature the board.

This only works because we can get a 3rd party to set up the board fairly.

The new formations don't have points in the generals handbook. Does the App version? How many points is the Sc Hammer and Anvil warscroll?

There are no points for any of the campaign book battalions on the book or the app. I imagine they want to keep narrative play separate. It also means that anyone who only wants to do matched play doesn't have to buy the campaign books.

thanks might well pick it up - Checked out the new preview - so thanks

So does that mean we can't use the new warscrolls in the campaign?

The campaign does not have to be matched play, so you can use them if you and your opponent agree do narrative or open play.

I think they learned this from the last 2 years of 40k. This actually keeps rules bloat down to just the rulebook and battletomes instead of spreading across a million books. Especially if they are doing 4-5 campaign books per year and progressing the story.

No problem, I quite enjoyed it as a death fan the book also helps to death players to know what their faction is doing and where they stand in the fluff which I feel is important.

Sorry if this has been discussed, but when a unit has a mix / max size and a points value, is it in fact X amount of pointer per min unit size? Or can you take the Max unit size for the same points cost as a min size unit? I cannot find it addressed in the book.
