Did they make Burning Chariots characters? Always been off to me that they're not, while the other chariot is and the exalted flamer is.

unfortunately no.

Flesh Hounds get scout back ?

Are exalted Flamers still 10" move or are they 12" like normal Flamers?

What's wording on deepstrike stratagem? Can Magnus (Tzeench Daemon) be deepstriked for 2 CP ?
Any changes for Soul Grinder?

Whats the number of the next lottery?! Please!

(And on-topic, theres some change for Skulltaker?)

Hikaru! you're back! Can you confirm the wording of the deep strike strategem? This could be the difference between Codex: Daemons being OK and Codex: Daemons being a saw of all mighty cheese!

It is that good. Lol during deployment.

Jesus Christ. I might just print off this post and put it up on my wall, Mortagnus lists just got a whole lot more scary.

this. stop asking,.

So you spend 1cp or 2cp based on power level multiple times during deployment for multiple units (any unit in the book) and then they can DS 9"

wow

xxhikaru123, would you be able to give any info about the new Great Unclean One and Horticulous Slimux?

Any point reductions or updates to the daemons of Khorne?

Soo... if I read Skullreavers' entry right, you can give it to a Khorne Daemon Prince? That's one hell of a buff, going from S8 AP-3 D3 @-1 to hit to S11 AP-4 Dd6 without a to hit penalty.

So, everyone is asking these important questions about all of the different pricing and units, etc. If you get the chance, can you answer about the Feculent Gnarlmaw. Do you think it's worth it to own from the rules standpoint? You don't have to tell me what it does, just curious if I should be pre-ordering it for more than just terrain.

Not to mention the d3 additional mortal wounds on 6's

Horty WS2. T6 7 wounds ( i think). 4A.. 4+
melee S+1 -3 D3 reroll fail wounds
1 time use attack S7 -4 3 dmg

D6 , 4+ D3 mw if you fallback from him (1inch bubble).

reroll fail charge for beasts in 6 inch. add 1 to hit for beasts.

start of turn, if any model friend or foe slain during last turn. 1 nurgle daemon model within 7 inch of mr snail gains 1 lost wound.

ends of movement phase, plant a tree but forgo daemonic ritual. set up within 3 inch of him but 1 inch away from any other model or terrain feature.

Yes. 50 points only. but good for mono nurgle army.

Would you be willing to share anything more about slaanesh daemons, did Seekers or the masque change at all ?

I’m really hoping we see a character greater demon for Slaanesh in the codex. I always thought that was the crappiest thing that they didn’t get one when they became their own army between 4th/5th ed. Zarakynell (the forgeworld one) is great, but I’m hoping, like the GUO, a KoS plastic kit supports a special character, and a couple of basic alt builds.

Also, I REALLY hope a new kit has a bovine head option. The2nd ed model’s gazelleish head was kind of weird (and not in a good Slaaneshy way). But the old RoC figure with the SIX different cow heads, is one of my favorite GW figures of all time! It’s actually the first GW figure I ever bought, back in like 1990. Once eBay was in full swing, I tracked down all six variants, and now they’re used as my fiends (as they’re too small to be KoS (though legally they could be!!!!

If there was going to be new GUO model we would have heard of it by now so no there won't be.

This release is all about nurgle. No new khorne models, no new tzeentch models, no new slaanesh models.

End of the year for new KoS, assuming that's what you meant.

Yeah I blame it on 5 hour sleeps. KOS, not GUO. To get rules for character greater daemon of slaanesh there would need to be model for it to be released none which are rumoured to be coming. And highly unlikely GW would release now 2 greater daemons at the same time(well 3 actually. GUO, KOS special character and unless GW goes nuts they don't release special character KOS without regular KOS as well)

though when new KOS comes is another thing. Could be this year, could be 2019, could be 2020, could be later.

Thanks for clarifying that. I was wondering how you would have missed the new GUO (it's HUGE).

Is that some sort of new precedent set by GW that they can't put something in the codex that doesn't have a model coming out 'relatively' soon after (the Blight hauler came out 3 months after the Death Guard codex)? It certainly hasn't been the case in the past with GW, just ask Ku'gath.

Has someone put up a list of all the units in the new codex? Do we know if the Masque made it in? I assume she's still in, but if that's the case, they'd have to do an entirely new plastic model for her at some point as well. Is Epidimius in as well? he'd be the only Nurgle figure which doesn't have a plastic model yet. I could see them doing a new plastic set for a nurgle palanquin which would allow to build Epidimius, A Nurgle Chaos lord, or a deathguard sorcerer lord (no model has ever been made for that one, despite being in several codex iterations). But realistically, if it's not in this batch of Nurgle figures, I can't see it being done in the near future.

Are finecast models not in the book at all ?

Lucius and Abbadon where both in the chaos space marine codex also pretty sure Tigerius, Lyzander and other finecast characters made it into the marine codex.

Yeah. Most of the Eldar range is still finecast. So long as it has a model available, finecast or otherwise, it should be in the book.

Any news on Blue Scribes or Kairos abilities, my man?

Seconding this.

Guess my Magnus/Kairos power duo idea is out of the question if big bird didn't get any big buffs. That's a shame. :(

They can fix them when they come out with a plastic hound kit.

120 now. they have 6 lamprey bites for attacks. 12" pistol flamer and 3 shots instead of D3.
