Yeah, looks like we need a FAQ to handle the old trees. The intent is probably to have the old base of three trees be equivalent to the new circle of three, but the new wording doesn't support that as-is.

Wow, Drycha. Much change.

Let's see. Flitterfuries are now a single target missile attack (10 shots) with deteriorating range with actual hit wound rolls, squirmlings are now a melee attack with deteriorating hit thresholds, you get both instead of having to pick one and they deal mortal wounds on hit rolls of 6. Both have 10 attacks each and one is bumped to 20 depending on whether she's angry or sad (which you now choose instead of rolling for). Slashing talons are now 2 rend but no longer benefit one way or the other from angry/sad.

Her unique spell changes a little bit, dealing D3 mortal wounds for targets of lower bravery than the casting roll instead of dealing the difference.

Overall her mood mechanic has been simplified, having the same specific effect on one of two attacks and between them she's still rolling a lot of dice with some decent mortal wound potential.

Is there a real reason to choose the melee mode over range? Range seems strictly better. Her output seems pretty incredible now and she synergizes with the equally great looking spites.

Actually yeah... Squirmlings only match the furies in hit/wound when she's unwounded and then they fall off while the furies have a rend. Unless there's a way to buff her melee attack she aught to be angry all the time.

Off the top of my head winterleaf has a '6 to hit in melee counts as two hits' but I think her mortal wound proc takes precident.

She gets both now.

One regardless of the number of ancients you have now.

It's not about what she gets, it's about what she spends her mood buff on.

Whoops, that's what I get for reading too fast! Her melee version you'll get to use in both your turn and the opponent's, assuming she is still in combat, verses the shooting is only during your turn. If she is in combat both turns of a round picking the melee profile results in higher damage even with fully-degraded stats. There are also factors of what the enemy armor is, how resilient they are vs mortal wounds, if they have specific debuffs against shooting/melee (look out sir comes to mind), and if she has any buffs that only affect one or the other.

So in short: it depends.

Oh! Of course!

So this not-fyreslayer with pants will be resin right? It's the tradition at this point.

I assume that’s the new Gotrek model?

Look, a proper slayer.

Yes, from the Warhammer Community article on the Black Library day today.

If only there was a link with detailed explanation right under the picture, eh?

[on a side note, I don't get why some people have atavistic urge to paste stuff from WC here, not only making it look really ugly but also inevitably messing up pasting and leaving important bits off, leading to threads being clogged with questions of people who only read gakky cliff notes without realizing full thing answered them long ago...]

I was gonna say that :(



Great model, this is what the Fyreslayers should have been. Simple is so much better in Slayers' case, but GW can't sue people for making dwarfs with mohawks so they tacked on a bunch of gaudy bull gak with trademarkable names. Gimme Ur-Gold!

Ooooooooooo

That might be the best proportioned GW dwarf ever.

I wonder if he'll simply be himself or whether he'll have some demi-Godification? I wonder if this means that the free peoples will come back in some way with normal dwarfs and humans and (a)elves seeing as his companion looks like a Dark Elf on the ghoul book cover.

Who knows ? Maybe the third novel will be called "Godslayer" and he would pummel Nagash to undeath, so that he brings Felix back. I wouldn't mind at all.

Heh, I'm actually pretty sure that's what will be happening.

Honestly right now I figure GW is doing with Gotrek what they did in the Old World. Using him as a popular character with a large following of fans to visit most of the worlds peoples through his adventures.

They did that really well in the past Old World with Gotrek and Felix visiting many of the lands and peoples, even several that never made it into the game or only made it as far as Warmaster.

I figure Gotrek is an ideal character to do this all over again in the new Realms,

She's a Shadowblade Assassin. There's more to her than just that, but it'd be spoilers.

Seriously, at this point if you haven't listened to Realmslayer--can you even Gotrek?

I hope Maleneth ends up being a little less abrasive in this next audio series. I ended up really disliking her as a character in Realmslayer, even after the story around her became clearer.

Part of it could be that Penelope Rawlins' depiction reminded me far too much of Jennifer Jason Leigh in the Hudsucker Proxy.

Wish they would leave the dead from the end times dead.

Is there any dead character that actually had a death ret-conned? Or are you referring to characters who were reforged into SCE?

Its a fantastic sculpt and brilliant to see a proper slayer - mohawk and trousers!!! Don't have a problem with an old character returning this way- battling through the realm of chaos isn't really going to happening to any other characters.. I know I'm probably wishing but the sculpt looks like it is in plastic- the flat surfaces/lack of texture? I'd love to see more dwarfs [or refreshed squats] like this.

Teclis. He kinda exploded.
