Subject: Age of Sigmar News & Rumors : Hedonists of Slaanesh
Just wanted to say that it is not all doom and gloom for mortal Slaanesh armies. A slaves to Darkness army with mark of Slaanesh would get the euphoric killers ability and get to take advantage of all the command traits, abilities and artefacts of each of the different hosts.
So as it stands a chaos lord who’s your general can get a command trait which lets them reroll hits Each hit becomes two hits on a six and three hits against units with 20 or more models.
The reaper blade does 1 attack for 2d6 damage once a battle. Now if you are fighting a big group of skaven and roll a six, it becomes 3 hits doing 2d6 each. That’s a potential damage of 36 from just one attack! Obviously the probability of this happening is not the highest, but it is a nice buff to slaves to Darkness armies.
Beasts of chaos with the mark of Slaanesh would also gain these abilities.
I’m sure there is more fun stuff someone could do using these new abilities

Suggestion from a battle report that (because reasons) Sigmar has Stormvaults all over the place. Could be filled with treasure, could be filled with horror.

Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
I wonder if the liberators in the 1st pic, the ones with skulls crowning the halo, are new or just conversions. I'd love if they updated the Lib kit to add more options.

So GW wants my money, huh? OK. I'll take a temple, thank you. Or whatever kit has the statues.
Ziggurats are pretty cool to have, too. I've been wondering about the Warcry scenery we saw in the reveal video way back when, and it seemed like it didn't offer much volume or cover much of the board. These things should do that quite nicely.
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!

Looks fairly, I want to say modular, but I’m not sure that’s the right word.
Gryph Hound statues are shown in multiple positions. So the Temple bits and bobs are at least stackable? Again, struggling for the right term this time. But hopefully you get what I’m driving at.

At RRP , excluding characters , that’s £140 ish of miniatures , I think the boos would be £18, the Sylvaneth character £15 so it’s a fantastic deal IMO. Also all the goblin units are Gloomspite battleline and revenants Sylvaneth battleline. Id day it’s the best , if you like the factions, AOS box they’ve done as both sides are a good basis for starting.

I'm getting 2. I want a squig and squig hopper army and have sylvaneth and more of these units is never bad. It's around 230 without the hero's. So the discount is definitely there. It's about 30% before the characters if its 160 for the box.

I don't understand something. Carrion Empire had 1 hero and 3 boxes per faction.
This one has 1 hero and 3 boxes per the sylvaneth half but 1 hero and two boxes for the goblins.
I would say I expect it to be cheaper than carrion empire but I doubt it. They'll make you pay a premium for the goblin half for being new models.

Sylvaneth hate wanderers, they think they are traitors and cowards, so I doubt it. But GW could make a retcon and change the background, of course.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

£137.50 without the heroes by my reckoning. So if its at the Carrion Empire(£95) or even Shadow spear(£105) price point there's a good saving to be had.

Why retcon it when the timeline has moved forward? I could easily see that some of these Wanderers could have taken oath of penance to remedy their ancestors mistakes or in some other places Wanderers did fought beside Sylvaneth without any complain.
Of course, I could see that some units could not be taken in mixed armies.
