I have just read the GW article on the 'storm of magic' and it says all about magic becoming more powerful and what not, but my question is will dwarfs get anything out of this expansion?

Please post any speculations you may have.

I hope its not apocalypse for Fantasy that is what I hope. This scares me:

Then there are the monsters. When the Winds of Magic blow with such strength, the fell creatures of the world gravitate towards the tempest, slithering from deep tunnels or emerging from mountain lairs.

With the new Expansion allowing you to use so many different creatures there are a whole host of new monstrous plastic kits on their way.

I have a sneaking suspicion that's exactly what it will be. As well as a convenient excuse for GW to market the hell out of a bunch of expensive monstrous creatures.

And that's is why there is only 8 magic items in the army books.

Warhammer Magic for 8th?

I think the beasts will be the beasts for the Transformation of Khadon spell. Because every army who has access to the Lore of Beasts can potentially turn their wizard into a monster, but there are no models for some of these creatures... although, they might take the piss and market a Black Hydra when the DE Hydra was released not too long ago.

As for what storm of magic will be, I'm thinking less apocalypse, more of a way to include more magic in some way, or maybe a battle with all wizards and no generals or something... I dunno. Maybe an expansion pack which gives us the option of playing battles where the magical sway is THE deciding factor or something. For dwarfs, this will simply be a case of 'you're always on the defensive', stocking up on rune priests and such and waiting to engage in CC or something. Defensive. But then again, being dwarfs, you'll be used to that.

Si

I've got a feeling it's just going to be a supplement, like 40K cityfight etc etc that ramps up magic to a stupid level, while not straying into apocalopalypse territory.

Basically, they need a way to push the sales of magic based models, and hopefull give us a plastic warlock engineer!
