Priests = Dispel endless spells & invocations
Wizards = Dispel endless spells & unbind regular spells

...aaaaand the War Shrine just became mandatory in Tzeentch armies. Because screw Khorne telling me I just don't get to play.

And some priests do all three! Blood for the blood god!

Care to explain? I looked at the Warshrine scroll and I’m not making a connection.

Warshrine has the 'Priest' keyword.

Short of allying with say khorne slaughterpriests warshrine is only way to get priest to tzeentch army.

Though as tzeentch has survived so far without denying invocations shouldn't have too much trouble with them for now. Maybe if GW introduces even more powerful ones(bleargh. Some armies don't have priest period)

Considering most armies have a religious connection to a god (or gods) of some kind; we might see this as the start of GW adding more priests into the game for each army. Also we have to consider that many armies have fought against priest armies without counterpriest options and vis versa for priest armies against wizards - and its not seemingly been a big problem.

Well before there weren't counterpriest options besides killing them

And since article claims invocations work as before except for priest ability to un-invocate them guess those aren't moving each turn like endless spell so those aren't getting power boost.

Speaking of double move damage dealing ones can become mean. Purple sun moving twice over targets before they get to move? That's 30% of unit dying basically.

When I read the rules I instantly thought of Purple Sun.

A lot of this terrain was shown earlier. I wonder if it's all new terrain or just a conversion they're really, really proud of

You guys liking the tasty mortal wound feast of 3rd edition?

Was thinking the same. This edition's beginning to sound pretty lethal.

you'll be able to polish off 3k in two turns, isn't that exciting?

Gotta take those expensive toys you spent hours painting off the table quickly so you have more room for more expensive toys. I guess it does cut down on the number of rolls you have to make.

I figure AoS and 40K will keep getting more and more lethal until GW enough complaints once even beginners can wipe the table in a single turn.

I've been sitting on my StD for years waiting to get back into fantasy. Is the Start Collecting the only place to grab the new chaos warriors?

Still not sure I'm jumping back in though.

Correct.

I recall seeing a scale picture for the new orcs but can't find it anymore. Anyone know where I can find it?

The terrain featured on the cover of the upcoming board back, a bit like the newer 40k terrain showed up on the cover of this, before actually showing in this, and then finally this.

I am hoping for the same pattern here.

Me too, that statue would be excellent.

Big changes to the chronomatic cogs, not as potent as they used to be.

I'm hoping that statue is a portent of where the new mortal humans are going design wise...

Gives me more aelf vibes, but given that we're getting Dawnbreaker crusades or something, I'm expecting Cities of Sigmar to get a revamp, or at least play a larger role in 3rd edition

It's supposed to be an idealized version of a Stormcast.

I am speculating that Dawnbringer crusades will be their own battletome that will work and entwine with Cities. Cities by itself is already a huge book.

If you hated facing sentinels you are going to hate them even more soon

fething dammit GW. I wanted to be optimistic but the back of my head knew this was coming.

*sigh* I suppose I would rather have excellent core rules and questionable allegiance/warscroll ones than the reverse.

Except they affect multiple wizards now. Tzeentch and Lumineth needed a boost, so they can castle around the cogs with 3-5 wizards getting an extra spell quite easily.

Krule Boyz with multiple shamans boosting the ranged units are going to be utterly lethal for pumping out mortals, never mind weight of hits in melee....
