Agent of Chaos Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I just hope they improved bloodtithe. The only other hint is the choice of various khorne sub-factions, similar to stormcast chambers I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123lac Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 New battle tome and endless 'phenomena' hype. Yay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambaker31 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Exciting times!! And here was me just starting Khorne Deamons and only just ordering the old battletome... #latetotheparty 😂 Now if Khorne are amazing in the new book no one will believe that I didn't just follow the power! Oh well, new rules should be a good way to properly learn for me rather than just catch up on all the theory! Does anyone know how long it usually takes between reveal and release? I mean the Skaven book came out pretty quickly didn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I hope there are some new cards to go with the tome. The current ones are designed for an eagle to read not a middle aged nerd 🤓 No scenery piece (yet) either. Regardless or the endless prayers, I have hopes for the tome. Although I may not buy any models until it is released 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galdenistal Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I'm most looking forward to binning all the errata / faq docs I had to print out, that was one long list of updates for the tome. The book deffo feels very old with all the extra paper I had to carry around with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Okay, I'm back in GW. We will see what happens to the army, time for Khorne AoS2.0. As is we could speculate about a lot of things, even if the army gets worse overall I will like it that we don't have to browse through several books, links and apps again to find out what our army does, at least for a month orso I expected Slaanesh to come out first, so we got lucky, but I do have a gut feeling we won't see much new art, other than that used in the CSM codex and I do hope this will go hand in hand with all the new Fleshhound kits I'm waiting for. Edit: However it will turn out, I'll redesign the Blood Tithe cards if needed, also for summonning and Artefacts if they are different. Cheers! Blood for the Blood God!

Xasz Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) I am somewhat surprised, I expected Khorne 3.0 coming early 2020 at best. Lets hope they elevate mortals to their rightful place instead of being just a side note (support) for the few daemon models. (and Valkia/Crushers finally getting their daemon keyword 🤐) On another note, the endless "spells" seem fitting, at least on first glance. Two of them look a lot like an area buff/debuff, while the axe looks a lot like some bloodthirster is splitting reality for a second (****** slap from the other side!). Would be a bit awkward (not-khorny) if 2/3 or all of them would just be mortal wound sources. Edited February 8, 2019 by Xasz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledha Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 one cool thing in the lore is that khorne directly interverne when a battle take his attention A cool thing would be that those endless spells/whatever are automatically cast when you reach or use a certain amount of blood tithe points. Like one every 3 points, so, as the slaughter grow, khorne influence grow as well. Only downside is that it would force us to buy those models 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beulettor Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I wish they will end the bloodsecrator mechanic, replace it with an endless blood prayers, or blood tith summoned tokens, or whatever it is. That "man" who must hide in the back of the army, and don't run to the enemy.... Not Khornish enough for me ! Endless "something" would really a good thing to replace this mechanic. And Bloodsecrator could become a tanky fighter with some "wholly within" buffs :-). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Yeah the link has them called, Khorne Judgements, so I think they might be either a piece for a Slaughterpriest to be able to use/summon or they show up trough the Blood Tithe system. I really think the latter could be the case as some of the current Blood Tithe effects are rarely used or not that effective for use anyway. Basically what I'm saying here is that I could see them throw out 3 effects from the current Blood Tithe list in the BoK book and put in these Endless Prayers/Khorne Judgements. Afterall the mayhem and slaughter they might cause does seem to fit into Khorne's design. What I'm also wondering about is if the brass spikes in the background scenery is scenery we'll get available to us or custom made. It seems sculpted and two of them seem to appear in this picture's background, so I'm not counting out we'll get that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastercrafted Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Has they're summonable, i'm thinking they could be another thing to spend bt on. And im assuming that these can't be unbinded so be interesting to see the rules 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killax Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 If the nerf will be only unmodified rolls of 6's are MW I can see the Bloodsecrator be able to use his ability as a Command Ability and be able to move. At least I hope they will consider doing it this way as it makes more sence to me to have that buff vs the likely nerf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledha Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) i would prefer they simply delete the +1 attack + immun battleshock from him and slap +1 attack to every khorne model. And give him new abilities Wouldn't change anything (except making us not auto-ignore a very interesting mechanic of AOS) power-wise for khorne, but would answer to the problem that the entire army is entirely reliant on a single model because let be honest, without the +1 attack, the khorne models are absolutely pitiful Edited February 8, 2019 by ledha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamik Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I’d like one of those new models to be a supercharged Brazen Rune that eats endless spells and deals back mortal wounds to wizards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrix Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Speculation time! Blood Warriors: Do you think we'll get the Witch Aelf do a mortal wound on an unmodified save roll of 6 or the Underworld Bloodwarriors' updated on an unmodified 4+ roll a dice on a 6 do a mortal wound for their Gorefists? If we get the Witch Aelf version (I hope so) do you think two Goreaxes would ever be worth taking? Could we get an extra attack for them instead of reroll ones to hit (also like Witch Aelves)?

"Gorefists" ability has the same name. I'd bet on it ! But with the same logic we should have Murderous Charge buffed on mortals. And that's really not sure.

Bjornas Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Did we see any hints at a release date? I guess we can expect the army mechanics to change quite a bit, especially since the factions are becoming more specialized. Being a primarily mortal player, I'm very happy about that. Compared to the beastmen herds, what do you think we can expect? The endless spells phenomena, based on their looks, what do you think they'll do? The axe looks damagey, to begin with..

The axe looks damagey, to begin with.. The axe could recycle the +1 attack of the bloodsecrator. And the Khorne symbol, immune to battleshock tests. The bloody skull would be more specialised. Anti-spells ? or reroll buff ? But I wish it's more powerful. Nurgle has his cycle of corruption, Idoneth have different bonus in different rounds. It would be fun if we automatically summon these endless phenomenae at a round start, depending of the blood collected in the rounds before :-). Could be a little snowball mechanic. Being immune to battleshock after X unit/model die, would be really Khorny ;p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimrock Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I'm guessing the axe is a predatory damage dealer, the giant bronze rune is some sort of anti magic (maybe like a suped up malevolent maelstrom or a once per turn brazen rune?) and the bleeding skull is a blood tithe generator. For the book I'm hoping they make the generic mortal heroes viable somehow, I've got a couple that have barely ever been on the table. Maybe they'll make the gorechosen battalion something like the gobbapalooza? Let you field 8 heroes without actually taking up any hero slots so you can use it in a regular game. If they can do that, iron out the internal balance a bit, and make unused blood tithe stick around instead of disappearing I'll be pretty happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysonic1 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I was actually going to stop working on my Blades of Khorne this year due to the steady buffs washing over the armies. I didn't want to slowly get worse and worse on the battlefield due to no fault of my own. Now? I may weep from happiness. I'm going to redouble my painting efforts and get my army done. I can't wait to see what new battalions, abilities, and prayers we get! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
