I haven't played WH since my faithful Gobbo army in 5th edition, but I am seriously considering a purchase now

So when we say "any units you want" does that mean potentially we could see a list of an Ork hero with a goblin unit, a scaven unit and a bunch of Chaos Dwarf war machines?

No, because Chaos Dwarfs are very unlikely to get stat cards. Substitute them for some HE chariots and you're golden.

I only used Chaos Dwarves as an example cause I'm still bitter

All models are described by warscrolls, which provide all of the rules for using them in the game. You will need warscrolls for the models you want to use.

Models fight in units. A unit can have one or more models, but cannot include models that use different warscrolls

So models and units are not the same thing?

If I understand this correctly, units may have no size limit (as rumored). But to add more models to a unit, you need more warscrolls... since "you will need warscrolls for the models you want to use"

I don't know. We still need to see what warscrolls look like.

I'm pretty keen to see a warscroll as well

I'm stil not sure about the new trademark-friendly names...the undead ones are ridiculous!

There's been one good thing about this whole thing so far, it's made me go take a look at Kings of War...

THEY HAVE CHAOS DWARVES (or Abyssal Dwarves to use their lingo)

Downloaded the Orcs & goblins warscrolls (sorry, Orruks and Grots...)

Not caring for it much :/ want to give it the benefit of the doubt, but it just doesn't feel right...if that makes sense?

As soon as someone mentioned Malekith, I immediately went "oooooh that's what that symbol reminds me of!"

Having read over a wee bit of the fluff, I'm still sad that GW felt the only way they could progress the stroy was to nuke the site from orbit (only way to be sure) BUT I must say I quite like the idea of a fight-back against Chaos.

40K can be so relentlessly grim sometimes with the whole 'regardless of anything you do, Chaos will win' so to see a hopeful sliver, no matter how small, is quite refreshing

Also, I must chime in with everyone else about the identity of the new fourth Chaos God, I don't think it's the Horned Rat (who has always been doing well solo thank you very much). I think it's either Morathi or Malekith lifted up and installed as an avatar of Slaanesh, or maybe even a usurper? Would be an interesting twist if nothing else.
