There are none sigmar is an equal opportunity employer Josh reynolds has said some chambers are only single gendered or mixed and in the new stormcast battle tome someone said a war chamber has a pretty female name it began with daughters and I think the last bit was Arcadia? The tempest lord background is sigmar raising a whole noble house men and women.

They're the Daughters Draconia...

"Thematic Armies will be Rewarded"
Well RIP CAD

Now GW is just forcing Formations down our Throat and passing it off as "Fluffy Lists"
Ruined 8th for me now
Movement values im not sure about, will probably stick with normal Movement values (Infantry move 6"...)
Charging units Strike first is big, especially for Necrons (I.E Triarch Praetorians)

Im Excited for the other changes, but not the "Rewarding Themed Armies" Bull GW is spewing

I don't know a single person who would rather face some fluff-breaking combination than a thematic army. I am excited for fluffy balanced armies to be rewarded.

Sure. But their "thematic armies" might/will be rather restricted (you now... existing models). Some people (like me) use the allies system (or the Inquisition codices before) to create fluffy armies with conversions or older miniatures (or just different paintjobs) without looking for the best combination rulewise. So I understand the worries.

I am really digging those death guard sculpts.

So exciting. Can't wait to get there tomorrow and see it all.

Ah thanks.

Still I dig them keeping the same gear and the abs, with a bit of conversion she will make an awesome lord celestant or mounted celestant on dracoth.

Anyone want to dig through those images and analyze them for potential new wargeear? That last big terminator is holding a very interesting looking autocannon.

You mean like how you lose an entire unit if they're caught in a sweeping advance?

Yes, exactly like that.

Sweeping Advance was a bad mechanic when it was introduced, and it's a bad mechanic now.



I would rather have seen an emphasis in 8th edition on tactical maneuvering and battles being won through mission objectives replacing the 'see who can make their opponent remove their models from the board the fastest' approach that has dominated the game from 3rd edition onwards.



For what it's worth, the idea of having movement stats back is nice, and first hit on the charge is something that has been sorely missed. But I'm concerned that this is going to turn out to be just another round of 'lets shake things up a bit' rather than a genuine attempt to improve the game.

Those Nurgle models look so darn happy. I love 'em.

They shaked things a lot with Warhammer Fantasy and Age of Sigmar.

Now 40k its just drinking from the blood of our lord and saviour Warhammer Fantasy Battles, that died for our sins.

I hope those plague mutant/zombie/cultists are dual kits for AoS and 40k.

I'd be all over the AoS version, if thats the case.

Ooh..plausible considering Tzaangors...

Awesome Death Guard

The second seminar in 1h30min ?

Doubt it, they seems too 40k for that

Warhammer Weekly is supposed to be on in a few minutes with a host who was in the session.

Hmm. Well they do need to give the Rotbringers a Battletome.

The Tzaangor set does come with Swords/Shields AND guns/chainswords. They could likely do that.

Oh Gods, 2:30 am in Portugal, I have to bail out. I'm counting on all of ya: when I wake up, I want to see lots of pretty Cthulhu Elves pics (I'm believing hard this will be the case)

I mean we have most of the kits already they just need a weaker line infantry and perhaps another "elite" unit and they would be good to go.

Hmm... Them deathguard pics.. look a bit to anime for my liking

Many of the changes are just as much 2nd/3rd ed throwback as it is AoS. THe shadowwar armeggadon rules alone show they are looking back toward what worked before.

I know, but the cultist has fancy goggles that don't seem to fit in a fantasy setting at all. Unless they give them also a new set of heads (which seem excessive) I really doubt we will see these guys in AOS.

The biggest thing I hope they don't port over from AoS is shooting out of combat.

These are Plague Zombies and Cultists I guess (in one kit?)

Good night, Drac

Completely agree. It's a mechanic that baffles me. Local group only allows shooting at combatants your in combat with if you have a ranged attack.

Maybe(hopefully) the scythe belongs to a certain primarch.

This and the putrid magic phase and fixed to hit and (especially) to wounds roll

No maybe about it. That is a deliberate hint.

Sadly, I need to sleep too. Someone PM me if Cthulhu Aelves or Fires Of Cyraxus (by the FW people obv.) is talked about? Images look beautiful (ugly?) so far.
