GeneralZero Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 GW store: no more grots at all? No more gitmobs? If all my former goblins are just trashed away, I think that I'll be so angry that a Mega-squig mounted by a trogoth will look like a little puppy compared to me!!!

Kronos Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) That mangler squig serves as prime example of what GW could do with beloved concepts with their new sculpting techniques. Imagine things like tuskgor/razor chariots, chaos dragon, dwarven war anvils, Throgg, Jabberslythes, ogre butchers, gorgers, Throgg, Zombies, Chaos Troggoths, Shaggoths, forest dragons for sylvaneth, Throgg and all the other mad and wonderful beasts that deserve a rendition in plastic.

Chariots, airships and pumpwagons are just too cool to miss While it will probably cause heat on facebook groups, I just don't care enough about rules not to force cool models into my armies. I'll either run them as old warscrolls or just use them as the closest thing as I can in the new books. Chariots and pumpwagons just become stand ins for the mangler and my wolf riders will be using the spider rider rules. I'm still surprised that we got a mixed moonclan/spiderfang/troll army before we got steampunk mech gobbos with blimps and plastic pump wagons, but must be a reason for it. Probably from the vocal amount of complaints that AoS was getting too steampunk and not enough fantasy crowd. But I don't mind. If we don't see them, well we have a whole wealth of new kits of plunder anyway. I'll be collecting a pure gloomspite force anyway, but all those juicey left overs will be going right into my scrap pile for my custom gitmob stuff! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh didn't think of that yet! that's going to be insane! Especially now it's the only thing that does that at range. It halves the width of your screens if you remember, or halves the size of it if you forget. With the giant's ability, only thing I know off that does the same, you at least have pile in to mitigate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliman Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 7 hours ago, Waiyuren said: You can target a character and shut off their artifact, or specifically target the banner bearer that is causing a 6" debuff bubble and otherwise protected by his buddies. Also, you can use it to kill one model in a daisy chain and force a coherency-wipe on half their unit. You can't do that "now": -Banners are not Artefacts of Power (yet), so you can't remove them (same with musicians). -Even if you pick the model, the MW hit the unit. So the player that controls the unit will not put this MW to break coherency in his own unite. Time will tell if there are more things behind this wording. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPjr Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 @robinlvalentine pretty sure that’s how all the warsrolls are worded it’s just in the GHB, and normally at the back of the relevant battletome, that it will have match play profile that lists unit size and points.

novakai Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Well didn’t see that coming, looks like more skaven and FEC stuff are hinted to come. Interesting that all the skaven stuff is Clan Skyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still-young Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 This guy (Flesh Eater Courts one) is my favourite model of all the new stuff. The Skaven one is great too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flesh eater courts reveal is a very welcome surprise and the skaven are overdue to get something new. Can’t wait to see what else is coming for those armies. Maybe a new battletome for each? This year has already been full of pleasant surprises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexHavoc Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 As much as I'm excited for skaven, I'm very surprised that they are releasing Grots and Skaven so close together, being bother are generally high model count horde armies. I would have thought they would have broken up two big releases like this. But no bother. I wont be going all in to the skaven release as I just have too much on my painting backlog (between christmas and gloomspite, as well as all the made to order stuff they have been doing) but at least I can pick up the battletomes (if there is one) and cards. Then next winter I can probably make a start on working on skaven. I have enough skaven kits to last a lifetime (I brought tons as I've been using parts to slowly make a skaven themed necromunda table) and really should think about getting some of them painted too! Looks like I'll be spending a lot less on Grots than I originally planned too now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPjr Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 FEC is one of those factions where I think the lore is just fantastic but I’ve always thought the old repurposed models, whilst not bad, have never come close to doing it justice and put me off. Be great if they revisit them more and release some more that actually lean into the idea of shambling, rotten cannibals wearing rags and rubbish but who think they’re courtly knights. would love to see some wearing pots and pans on their heads thinking it was shining plate armour, glorious pennants trailing in the wind that are actually stitched together flayed skin etcetc . 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I totally didn't see it coming!!! in a positive way . Now my beg problem: will I keep FEC or Rats, or both.... ouch, my wallet's crying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
