I see some potential for abuse of the Griffon hound special rules.

Truthfully, it's going to depend exactly on how the rule is worded.
...

From English WD77:
"Warcry: ... Any unit within that many inches of the Gryph-hounds is alerted to the enemy unit's presence and can attack it with one of its weapons as though it were your shooting phase."

If it's the case of Gryph-Hounds allowing a friendly unit within 2d6 inches of the Gryph-Hound to either
A) Fire an additional shot with their missile weapon against an enemy unit which is set up within 10 inches of the Gryph-Hound(not really sure how this would work to be honest, since I can't think of any way you can place a unit during the shooting phase?)
B) Fire a shot, out of sequence, using their missile weapon against an enemy unit which is set up within 10 inches of the Gryph-Hound "as if it is their shooting phase"

It is B. To clarify, the full rule from English White Duardin:

Warning Cry: It is said that is impossible to sneak up on a Gryph-hound. If an enemy unit is set up within 10" of this unit, roll two dice. Any unit within that many inches of the Gryph-hounds is alerted to the enemy unit's presence, and can attack it with one of its weapons as though it was your shooting phase.

**His Master's Voice**

So you can shoot, provided you have something to shoot with. Makes sense.

So...official merch?

From the main GW page we all know, scroll to the bottom and look for licensed products.

Some of the shirts look reasonable, but the cover picture being so square on the shirt looks awkward.

So slaanesh is gone and its now the horned rat who is the 4th god, all confirmed in new book..

That might be down to poor photoshopping, you'll see the hoody toggles are invisible behind the images, so clearly these aren't shots of the actual products, just design mockups

Err, is it? Must have missed the memo on this one.

**Necros**

I'm hoping for a unit of BabyGriffs.. maybe a small box of 5 of em, and +1 if you get the one that comes with the hero guy.

I was going to pick up a box of liberators to get some swordy guys going, but I think I'll stick with the 10 I have from the starter even though they just have the hammers, I think I'd rather get more of the other units. Eventually I think I might want to add in some Empire stuff too, like some knights or greatswords and/or a war altar, but that'll be much later.

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation!

I really like Gryph-Hounds. They're adorable AND they'll make Judicators nifty? Sweet!

Also a unit of Gryph-Hounds, summoned up via the "Bring Down the Tyrant" rules in a Wood Elf army would be amazing against Daemons.

Sure, but they're representative of the actual product, and putting a giant, solid edged square on a shirt will be awkward no matter how you cut it.

The banner and iconography are much better. The cover art just doesn't really work on a shirt.

sad but true

**Some_Call_Me_Tim?**

Yeah, he's part of the pantheon, but he hasn't replace Slaanesh. Slaanesh has just been captured by the High Elves. They're still a part of the pantheon.

_Tim?

I agree! The cover art looks so silly on a tee. Who sticks a box cover onto a shirt?

We ordered 2 shirts (the ones with the small logos in the top left corner) and 2 hoodies!

**Bottle**

I'm going to use that tiny baby griffin I got with the Empire Captain spruce as a Gryph-hound! Mwhahahahaha

**angelofvengeance**

Spruce is a tree, Bottle. SPRUES are what our models come on

heres the map for it GW at stand 772

Sorry if the above has been linked already

I did say when they returned it was a poor showing. I know they attend used to attend regularly but fell off a few years and have returned

**angelofvengeance**

A pretty small table for GW. You'd think they'd want a bigger stand...

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!

**rybackstun**

Someone want to help me out on the Lord-Castellant real quick? It's a rough translation, but I get most of it:

Schützende Laterne
In deiner Heldenphase kann der Lord-Castellant die magischen Kräfte seiner Schützende Laterne nutzen. Wenn er sich dafür entscheidet, wähle entweder eine Einheit de CHAOS oder der STORMCAST ETERNALS inner halb von 12" um den Lord-Castellant

Wurde eine Einheit des CHAOS gewahlt, so trifft sie das sengende Licht des Celestial Realm und sie erleidet eine tödliche Verwundung. Fur Einheiten der CHAOS DAEMONS ist diese Berührung unterträglich, deshalb erleiden sie stattdessen D3 tödliche Verwundungen

Wurde eine Einheit der STORMCAST ETERNALS gewählt, so umhüllen sie die heilenden Kräfte der Laterne und du kannst bis zu deiner nächsten Helderphase 1 zu allen ihren Schultzwürfen addieren Jedes Mal, wenn die Einheit bis zu deiner nächsten Helderphase bei einem Schultzwurf ein Ergebnis von 2 oder mehr erzielt, heilt ein Modell der Einheit eine Verwundung.

For the last part:

Was a unit of STORM CAST Eternals elected, they envelop the healing powers of the lantern and you can until your next Hero phase 1 to its Schultz throws add Whenever the unit until your next Helder phase at a Schultz throw a score of 2 or more achieved heals a model of unity an injury.

Does that mean that if a unit rolls 2 or higher they get a wound back or that they have to roll two higher than their save?

**RoninXiC**

"Until your next herophase: every time the unit rolls a 2 or more for their save rolls, a model in the unit heals a wound."

For me: I wound the unit of Sigmaritataten 60 times. They roll 60 saves, fail 10 and roll 2+ 50 times.

They take 10 wounds and heal 50 wounds.

That's....confusing.

I wonder when the heals trigger.

Welcome to GW rules writing.

**RoninXiC**

Well I THINK the intention is:

If the unit alltogether gets ONE 2+ all that leads to a single wound healed. I mean ... thats cute and the +1 to saves already is super strong.

**Kanluwen**

I'll wait to see the English rules, because that Castellant rule for healing is...strange from the translation.

**Bottle**

I can't wait for the Storm Cast Eternals to be over with so we can get some REAL Warhammer updates :-D

Where are the Fyre Sleighers!?

It wouldn't really matter, since with multi-wound units, wounds are allocated such that single models are slain before subsequent wounds are allocated to the next model. So for basic Stormcast, that means that only one wound will be healed. The ability would be far more effective for heroes or monsters.

**RoninXiC**

Yeah but sigmarintets have big hero models too.

RAW, it really works as assumed - make 20 successful results of 2+ and you heal 20 wounds...I say RAW because the rules for the attack-phase explicitely refer to one wound at a time.
