Its so so beautiful.  The pages are cream colored with metal around the page edge.  Kind of like a high end bible but with thicker paper, not onion skin.  Great artwork on the cover that wraps around to the back.  Very well done.  Inside of the cover there is a little hand numbered paper that tells you what one of the 4000 made you have. Even comes with its own case.   Well worth the $90 they are charging for them.

So....assuming you have one in your hands, what are the rules changes?

("Rumored" changes of course)

Aye, the limited HC and the gamers versionwith the pouch both look cool. To be blunt, I think it sucks that in the US, only GW mailorder gets them. I would have liked to sell them in my shop, and was going to get the limited HC for myself. I'll make do with the little one from Skull Pass now.

Well Magic users can only use their own power dice, as what have been said before. I didn't get to see the miscast table. The magic Lores have been redone. Like for Light magic spells 1,2,3 are 5+ spells. And they are keeping 15 as max magic casting. So if you roll 17 to cast a spell it only counts as a 15. This has NOTHING to do with Dispelling. And there are special buildings like the Anchent Monolith gives you +1 power and dispell dice and the Hall of Heroes I think its called lets you reroll failed leadership test on the unit that is on the Hall.
There are a few other things as well that I don't remember for I was only able to skim through it.

And they are keeping 15 as max magic casting. So if you roll 17 to cast a spell it only counts as a 15. This has NOTHING to do with Dispelling

Curious. It sounds like it has everything to do with Dispelling. Could you please explain?

There is no MAX dispell roll. The max to cast a spell is 15 so I can roll a 16, 20 or what ever and dispell it.

Had a look at the book this weekend, I mostly looked at spells but we had about an hour to pour over it. The exact wording for skirmishers was they move as characters or large monsters which can be march blocked. Take that 40K skink horde!

Lore of life got rid of Father of Thorns there is now a healing spell, Assault of stone was nastied up a bit and is the sixth spell. Light got a bit more offennsive the 6th spell is called Cleanseing Flare IIRC it does d6 st 5 hits on every enemy units within 6 or 12 inches st 6 if they are undead or daemonic. They also have a similer one in Lore of Shadows but it effects every unit including your own. They nastied up pit of shades too. The miscast table is very nasty as you will at the very least take strong hit ,auto wound, and instant death instead of the forget your spells can't cast this turn stuff from the cuirrent list. I can see most list cutting down on magic and Slaan and Tomb Kings dominateing magic.

We also could not find any reference to the +1 AS for a handweapon and sheild so it is no longer there.

actually, you do still get the +1AS for hand weapon & shield
it's not in the armor save section, but in the close combat weapon section (p56)
under hand weapons, after "fighting with 2 hand weapons" is "fighting with hand weapon and shield (infantry)"
hope that helps
I freaked when I couldn't find it at first!
