This is a book that will give stuff to KBB, Khorne alligned StD and Daemons. I'd say they don't give you as much love as before, though. And this is a book you kind of need.

I'm just happy the demons and the mortals are all under one banner now.

Back to the roots, when daemons and mortal were a thing. Honestly it makes more sense this way: what the hell is doing a bloodletter obeying a KoS?

The Great Horned Rat has been it's own distinct god going back to WHFB. The Skaven actually created a portal to him in ending the great civil war. But for those who know the Skaven's origin story, the real question is who that mysterious figure was since he is responsible for their creation.

Bel'akor did it!

Basically, like how Stormcast got a new book recently--this is to bring the Khorne Bloodbound in line with the new design mechanics. Allegiance Abilities, relics, etc etc.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Seraphon and Fyreslayers get a similar book soon.

Honestly? They'll have a hard time doing Battletome Ironjawz. We benefit soo much from being pure destruction.

It's a bummer, but it's also not necessarily a bad thing.

For Stormcast, it looks like they folded in the stuff from the "Extremis" book and added all the various campaign formations.

If you didn't keep up with the campaign books, that alone makes the replacement book a fairly good deal.

A lot of BCR and Bonesplittaz players still use Destruction Traits/Allegiance instead of the ones in their book just because the Move, Battle Brew, Bellowing Tyrant, etc are just so good. I can see them getting a reduction in GHB2, however.

I checked the bonesplittas with their Cunning Ruks filled with Arrowboyz. The simple solution is to reduce the arrowboyz shots by 1. If they even need to.

And as much as I'm going to love the Overlords, I hope GW resists the urge to make them ungodly op.

Arrowboyz honestly aren't bad as they are now until Kunnin' Rukk gives them double the shooting. They just need to remove arrow Boyz from Kunnin' Rukk or increase the battalion cost with the assumption that arrow Boyz will be used. But since GW seems pretty opposed to making Battalions cost more than 100 no matter how good they may be I'd expect the former.

Well, there's plenty of batallions above 100pts (gore-fist at 120, weirdfist clocks at 100). But you're right that, as a rule of thumb, most batallions are undercosted. I think they "kind of" should be. Just SLIGHTLY, not much, which isn't the case now for most "troublesome" batallions.

GW seems to price Battalions on how they would perform if applied to a rounded army. But that's now how battalions are used; people build lists around certain battalions being present. So they need to be costed based on optimal use, for starters. Secondly, GW does a poor job at Best of considering the required units; how many points do they cost? How do those units work together on their own? Are any of the units battleline?

The latter is what creates issues like the Ironfist, where it effectively means 'pay 60 pts to give all non-hero units in your army an extra 1d6" of movement every turn'. But it cuts the opposite direction just as often if not more. There are a large number of battalions that don't need to cost any point at all simply because the points expended to meet the requirements more than justify the benefits already. Many of the battalions that include multiple other battalions, for example, cost several thousand points spent in a specific way just to put it on the table.

I love science, it's truly interesting, and I enjoy browsing random scientific articles to learn new things. I know what science is. This is a forum thread that has the goal of collecting leaked images and information about future releases, not a thread that's trying to create something new in any way. It is a library, not a laboratory. Libraries carry books, not just links to where you can find books.

I do not like following links to get pics. It takes a tiny amount of time or effort to embed images on this thread, and standard procedure should be copy/pasting the article and images, along with a link to the source at the top or bottom. A random link is very easy to miss for the casual reader. For example, I scroll through these rumor threads looking for images and large quotes, because more often than not those contain useful information. Links are much easier to miss than copied articles.

Science still need to compile info for speculation, on a philosophical level, we do science always when we look out for information to get conclusions. Libraries are getting obsolete each day it passes. If you are signed to, let say, Science, you don't have a reason to ever post someting else aside the abstract when the article for plenty of reasons.

Also, it's quite exaggerated to dislike just to click one. Also, links are denotaed on a different size and colour. I mean, c'mon.

And like a fellow member said:

While posting images is not always ok, links usually are.

I shared that same link before on other thread, and another fellow member posted the exact same pics from that link before me, but they got deleted. By now a number of use knows that is not so rare to see images deleted for some reason, but links usually stay here. I recognize the value of images, and I get your point about quick reading for a news section, but for large, external articles, with around 20 images, the tiny amount of time and effort starts to increase exponentially, passing over here the pics and using spoilers start to require some additional edition. It wouldn't be a problem for 3 or so pics, but for larger articles, yes, it'd be safer to link directly.

Let's refocus people, the thread has an actual topic remember

Well I prefer images since I have no idea how to show them and quoting you guys makes it so much easier.

Also, compliments to Snorri Fireaxe from Bugmen's Brewery for these tidbits:

(The Baraks)

Just in case you were all wondering...

Nar – East or Eastern Sunrise

Zilfin – Breezy / Windswept

Zon - Sun

Urbaz – Trading Post / Market

Mhornar - Shadow

Thryng – Temple / Shrine (of the Ancestors)

Mhornar crews are screaming for a Long Dron's unit.

I've seen 1 page of Wd that explain the 4 characters (khemist,Admiral and so on) and their guilds(navigators,aether-khemists and endrineers).
Endrinmaster and ebdrinriggers(it seems that are 1 optional build of the balloon infantry but i only heard that not Read actually)are part of the "engineer" guild(renamed endrineer guild,sort of engineer,sort of Carpenter/shipwright It seems).
Navigators are cartographers(and Can booster the winds) and khemist search aether gold(and use alchemy on that)and Can "suck out" air from the enemies.
In the Admiral entry say that they do many deeds like aelf lords kidnapping lol.
So It seems endrin- terms confirmed for engineering(i Read here that is a unofficial term for now). 

I love the kidnapped aelf lords part.

It says they accrue an Aelf-Kings ransom over their career, not that they actually kidnap aelf Kings. Dunno though, maybe some do.

I MEAN REALLY GW?! FIRST THEY WERE "KHORNE BLOODBOUND", NOW "BLADES OF KHORNE"!? MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!

I actually like Blades of Khorne better

Bloodbound are the Mortals in service of Khorne. Blades of Khorne incorporates them as well as Daemons (and other Khorne worshipping Slaves to Darkness that aren't specifically Khorne but can choose to be). Bloodbound will still be bloodbound, just like Tzeentch Arcanites are their own faction but are in the Disciples of Tzeentch book.

Do ya'll think the new release after this is Slaanesh Aelves or like Dark Aelves or Nurgle?

We have no evidence or suggestion or even hintings of Slaanesh Elves.

That's the Taco Stand doing their thing again.

Damnit haha people be making it sound like they're going to come out and I'm hooked on the hype of the rumor generator picture

And two more images. My apologies for bad quality, Facebook is almost impossible to view images properly with on mobile.

They are just photos from this months WD battle report.
