Well, he gives us that the German is "unnachgiebig", which variably seems to translate as unyielding, unflinching, adamant, unrelenting, intractable, and immovable.

So, it's either Stubborn(my vote based on the rules in past versions of the item) or Unbreakable.

I am also wondering how this will affect Black Orcs , "Armed to da teeth" . Do they get to choose or not ?

I'd say its Unbreakable now that you explain it.

I would say they do unless an army errata said otherwise.

Hey Doc, it sounds like you've seen the rules now but there has been no mention of your 'lol-meter'; does this mean most of the rumours are true?

Mick

Lol-O-Meter was posted, at a solid 0-2. Going to upgrade that to a 0-3.

Lots of stuff semi-accurate, but with entirely allowable mistranslations/errors, some of it a bit off with the kernel of truth.

Oh, Skirmishers do not break ranks ever, BUT, Skirmishers in a wood are 100% Stubborn, 100% of the time, whereas Ranked units lose their advantages in Woods!

Just spoke to the guy at my flgs (who had just got off the phone from GW) and he said his preview copy coming Weds or Thurs with something else you 'need' to play the game. The GW guy wouldnt tell him what it was though. Anyone shed some light on it?

Cheers, Mick

Apart from a deep wallet? Well I would take wild guess and say the compass.

Thanks for the answer! Now if you could confirm for me that there really isn't a case where you need banners to claim objectives, I'd be grateful (I've had it confirmed by one person, but I'm suprised that it's still up on the first page...)

One of the missions involves banners, but not for claiming objectives.

No idea on that one skip, haven't delved as deep as the actual Scenario Rules yet!

Though my current vote for 'Besterest Rule' would be the additional 50 VPs for having a champion chin a character in a challenge. Just appeals to me an awful lot. Especially with Executioners....CHOP! 50 VPs. CHOP! 50 VPs!

i'm finding myself suprisingly interested in fantasy with these rumored changes as i frankly didn't like the game in prior editions. i'm also suprised at how small this thread is... i think the IG/BA/SW threads were double to triple the length and those were just for army books. i guess more people really do play 40k than fantasy, even across the pond.

Just a quick question on the magic item that turns a wizard into a frog. How does that work on a Slann? I mean they ARE frogs.

It just does. And a Slaan is not a Frog, it is a Slaan. It is no more a Frog than we are Chimpanzees.

Hey, I can sorta understand the VP's for the champion thing. Less for an overall battle thing, but morale victory. For example, my Night Goblin Unit Champion once took the hits from a Plague Bearer champion (one in a combat featuring a Nurgle Herald too), then proceeded to kill it in said challenge. Those type of things would probably boost morale for the remnants of an army, even if said champion eventually died or the battle was lost.

Given the 8E rulebook is actually out, maybe we can lock this?

Agreed. If out shift your dissussions to discussions.
