"Final Tranny" - the most horrific spell in the warhammer universe lol

Isn't that the new lore of slaanesh spell?

Spell: Final Tranny
Type: Hex
Range: 36", single model.
Description: Target must take an immediate initiative save or magically have their gender (and attire) immediately 'augmented'.
Models who fail this test must take a subsequent leadership test at the start of every round at a -4 modifier, or be forced to make an immediate flee action towards the nearest table edge to represent them running in shame as they are laughed off the battlefield by both armies.

Btw does anybody else find the "We've all been living a lie" ad for GW's main site on the khaine book to be hilarious? It sounds too much like all the elves have finally come out of the closet .

Ok, total non-sequitur time:

The "real" paper White Dwarf looks so much better than the stupid e-Book version which is all I can get. I was actually confused there for a second thinking it was photos of the book III itself.

Hey, Unbound Elf army sounds cool to me, as long as they let other armies keep up. My hope is to eventually see some of the others get together: Dwarfs & Ogres, Skaven & Orcs & Goblins? Any indication that there will be only 3 books in this "End Times" series? If not, then I reckon GW will keep giving us ways to spend our money on new armies.

Rumors indicate 4 or 5 books, Brettonia and Empire are all but confirmed to be combined into one list (some believe Dwarves will also be folded in with them). Ogres/Skaven/Orcs are a bit up in the air, its believed the next book will focus on Skaven so we'll see what happens, though I wouldnt expect to see them folded in with another list given that Skaven dont have the same issues as some of the other elements of the gsme (being poor sales and undefensible IP)

Interesting tidbits from Warseer.

Spoiler:

Tyrion dies. Malekith survives and marries Alarielle as is custom for Phoenix Kings.

Discuss.

Mommy!

No seriously, what about the other characters, like Morathi?

Morathi joins Tyrion, she dies too, treacherous bitch.

Judging by the WD previews, etc. it seems like they do a good job of portraying Malekith as something other than a mustache twirling villain, not necessarily a hero mind you, but definitely a sympathetic sort of pseudo-anti-hero.

Did Ariel actually die in Glottkin, or is she still kind of fading away in the Oak?

I don't think she was even mentioned tbh.

Incredibly ill informed comments. Sad to see such ignorance on Dakka.

@Monders,
Really? It's not ill informed it's a joke.

Several pages have been leaked. Combined Lists, new spells, stats for alarielle, tyrion, malekith, imrik. PM me for details due to forum rules I cannot post them here.

Distasteful joke. Shall we make puns on [see forum posting rules] next?

Teclis dies too.

"When you see something that you find silly, rude or insulting first assume that perhaps there is more to it than you initially thought. Look at it again, keeping in mind that tone and inflection is difficult to convey in a visual format. It may be that the person is attempting a joke or is exaggerating on purpose. It is best to politely request clarification before accusing someone being ignorant, a liar, or worse."

So tell me @monders and @Vetril, at what stage did you ask me what the intent of my post was before labeling me ignorant?

I was indeed making a joke. It is rather comical (and fitting, seeing as Slannesh is in fact transvestite) that a Slanneshi spell could turn a big tough Orc Warboss about to yell out a giant "WAAGH", suddenly into an Orcette(?), complete with over-the-top ridiculous chainmail bikini and laughed off the battlefield by his own army. Or having a sleek and sexy dark elf witch transformed turned into a dude, suddenly feeling very vulnerable surrounded by enraged brides of Khaine. If any of you have ever played the Baulder's Gate series, I am thinking of Edwin/Edwina's fate and the similarly comical scene it created.

If you would like me to retract the post I will. The joke was made in good faith, not aimed to deride anyone's sexual preferences or identity.
Real-world prejudice is a thing and not something I was attempting here. However I would advise on growing a thicker skin when it comes to something as innocent as a joke about a magical gender-changing spell (featuring gender-changing daemons) in a game of painted toy models before decrying it as ignorant and distasteful.

Slaanesh is a true hermaphrodite, NOT a transvestite.

Regardless, it's still insulting and in ill taste to refer to transvestites(or transgenders or transsexuals) as "tranny".

In addition, you seem to be confused by the terminology. A Transvestite is simply someone who dresses in the style and manner of the opposite gender. What you're describing would be a forced sex change.

Oh, I thought he meant final tranny as in transformation. Shows where you're mind is . But seriously everyone just take a chill pill & let this blow over.

As his post shows, he meant it to be a play on words to refer to both.

See, when I see people using 'tranny' as an insult for transgenders, I just like to remind them that the logical term for people who aren't transgender is there fore 'cissy'.

That said, transvestites? It's all about the clothes. Slaanesh is a hermaphrodite in the truest sense of the word. He isn't trans* in any way, shape or form, because his gender identity matches his physical gender at all times - as a daemon, his physical form is entirely defined by his self image.

You called it "the most horrific spell". You really need to study Carlin and Pryor some more.

AT ANY RATE!! The new lists look amazing. I might have to shell out for this book.

Is there going to be a big kit for this release? So far there has not been any new miniatures. I can't remember in what order the previous two releases came in (books or minis first)

New leaks on BOLS

http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2014/11/end-times-khaine-latest-teases.html

Rules for arcane fulcrum are there, albeit a bit low res

So Asuryan is basically totally chill with how Malekith handled not being elected phoenix king? Because with the past 6K years of Druchii history, i find that very odd.

Once you get around to reading the book you will be made aware that Malekith was intended to be Phoenix King all along and his being burned, etc. was the result of a treacherous plot, which kind of justifies the civil war he started... also, Asuryan might be dead.

The explanation is that Asuryan was evil all along and Malekith was always his favourite. The whole Naggaroth thing was kind of like a make-up exam because he failed the first test.
