PrimeElectrid Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Rumoured dragon knights. No more detail on breath weapon or why there is an odd number of attacks for 2 models (champion maybe?) Dragons are 9W 12move 3+ save Bravery 8. Unit of 2 models has 15Attacks 3+3+ rend2 dmg2 when charged + breath weapon About 280 points 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say that I'm a bit jealous! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nos Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Just reading between the lines here, preview says 37 cards for OWC: 29 in Generals Hand book, inc units from Dominon. Confirmed by GW: Sludgeraker X 2, Killabow, 2 Vultures, Underworlds, Mirebrute, Troll with Howdah thing 37 in total. No more stuff for KB, although I thought as much a while ago.

I just don't know what's real anymore. Getting redpilled by Ironjawz nerf rumours... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber SunStorm Posted September 6, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted September 6, 2021 I suspect we will find everything out next Saturday, assuming that's when the books arrive in the hands of the reviewers and they can confirm/deny the various warscroll changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to need the big beer mug and snuggle blanket for that man reads book session for 2 entire books, while my wallet weeps in the corner with a feeling of trepidation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charleston Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 10 minutes ago, PrimeElectrid said: Battletome prices going up by €5 equivalent This is rough. I hope it won't come true. Currently the tomes are already heavily overpriced. We are far above the 30€ mark already, which would be okayish if the quality of the product was worth it. But we talk about a book that was not even touched by an professional proofreader, not to start talking about the quality of their ruleswriting and the day-1-FAQ's required. I'd really prefer old WHFB style tomes without a hardback back at this point. The overall composition just felt smoother, with unit lore on the same page as the warscroll/profiles and instead of a advertising type of faction description we had some short stories that made the tome worth reading. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the 9th edition 40K codexes which also saw a price increase from 8th edition to 9th, the increase is paying for the digital content unlocked in the app and recovering a bit of the lost revenue from having no digital sales 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitzdee Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) I think its a bit ridiculous that we have to pay around 40 euros for a battletome now. Cant sugarcoat this sorry. I dont collect just one large army. I collect many small armies because i like all the different sculpts. I cant justify buying every book again and again over just collecting more models to be honest. Just to play a game a few times a year (same for 40k). The mirebrute is almost the same price XD. I want to support gw with buying all the books and not use other sources. But they are making it damn hard to keep doing it. That being said i am glad they gave information about the battletomes/units and preorders. Edited September 6, 2021 by Iksdee 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogregut Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 The battletomes were always going to be £30 as they'll have the digital codes in them. I'll rather they didn't as I doubt I'll use them but it was always going to happen. The mirebrute and killbow are cheaper than I thought they would be however so that's a bouns!

lare2 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Hope not. If I'm paying extra to get the digital benefits then I want to be able to access them without having Warhammer+. Doubt I will be able to though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its the current model for 40k, it's £3.99 a month for the app. Warhammer + is £4.99 a month which comes with access to the 40k and upcoming AoS app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, gonna check to see if it's still available. I've the free version and just checked the 40k app. Weirdly there are two versions of Plague Marines, one I can still access, the other I can't. No idea. Edited September 6, 2021 by lare2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess the cost is for the army building part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverchosen Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 5 hours ago, Rachmani said: Both the Lord-Commander & Yndrasta have a very cool feel to them without the need for a gazillion wounds etc. They're both "in line" with the rest of the SC and a good chunk above them through their special rules. I'm really pleased with the poster boys (and girls) so far. They appear to shape up great. (From a consistency & lore PoV, we all know that tournament success might be based off of different factors.) This is extremely well put! I am loving the recent rules for named character models as they feel really characterful but as you point out they are not always the most balanced or geared towards competitive play. I typically only use named characters if the opponent is also using them or when going past 2000 points. Yndrasta will pose a bit of an issue as she is my favourite model in dominion and lacks a generic alternate warscroll and I am intentionally keeping my stormcast army relatively small. However, I also love the angelic look particularly as a counter to my demon prince and have developed a narrative around that opposition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked a currency converter and it said £30 is around $41 or so. If that is GW prices before third party discount, wouldn't you only be paying 36 or so?

GW just don't do that unfortunately. A 9th Edition codex from GW currently costs $50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
