Pretty sure that the quote you are responding to was a joke, as someone complained about how unrealistic the feet are on that model.

So are Verminlords actually daemons?

Haha, yeah. It felt weird to type '£55 is cheaper than I expected.' I was thinking the other day, when I started the hobby, battalions were all £50. The VC one is £75!

Do all daemons come from the warp/daemon realm? Does this imply the horned rat is a daemon? Sorry cant seem to find anything on lexicanum about them.

There's no clear distinction between what is simply another warp entity and what can be considered a deity, other than power. Lotsa power to throw around = god. Not a lot of power = entity/demon. And even that is highly relative.

I'm wondering if the horns are distinct part that you can mix and match with the different head, like in the beastmen kit. I think so, since the warpseer and the special character have the same horns, but their face seem different,

by gw corporate

Do you have a reference of this somewhere? Or are you saying it was verbal, etc?


I've heard that they're just going to role the armies into one book!
Each army will have minimum requirements - eg for Skaven you will need 100 clan rats & 200 slaves!!!!

Seems so. Horns seem to be in a couple parts- front horn pair (curly with bells, straight with a bell, diseased) back horn pair (long, short, diseased) and crown (short, long, hairy tuft)

Still not convinced that 500pts (and possibly more for some varients) for a lord model that can't be a general is worth it, even if the Warpseer does get a 4+ ward.

Ok. So the rules for ALL of the new Verminlords are out on twitter.

Only the named one, and warpseers do D3 wounds. And Skreech has to either choose between ASF or D3 wound. Never both.

Actually there are no rules that I can see that says these NEW verminlords can't be your general. I know the old one couldn't but I didn't read that these ones can't but maybe I missed it on one of the leaked pictures?

Totally missed that myyyyy bad! Lol

Either way tho 500 points for something like that isn't all that bad. 4+ ward would have been nicer than a 5+ but that's probably the only complaint I have for it. Still better than the current vermin lord who is the exact same price

Two are 500. The combat one(And I say that in the loosest sense) Is 550. Skreech is 650, and utterly terrible.

Ah the darkavenger back to determine what is good and what is bad in the game before trying it!
You can't say something is " utterly terrible" without even trying it. His opinion is now set in stone!

So... if the others have the same magic generation as the Deceiver, the one spell they're good at and then generate from the two lores, only Skreech can have Curse as you can't generate that spell.

They're worth it BECAUSE they don't have to be your general. Skaven can have a cheap 150 pt warlord as the general along with this, then if an unlucky cannon shot removes your verminlord, the army doesn't fall apart. Same deal with an unlucky miscast.
