So is anyone else finding Nurgle basically unbeatable?

Rotigus, GUO, walls of plague bearers and drones sitting back, slowing you down and manipulating the dial to just slam everything on the table with mortal wounds. The guy running this list has basically tabled everything anyone has tried against it. It literally has no noticeable weaknesses.

Warhammer: Legends page is up, looks like the old compendium list with some upgrades and modifications so you can run old WHFB style lists without keyword shenanigans getting in the way. Manflayers are disappointing tho, Shades with some tweaks.

Narrative/Open only though :(

Both new armies look amazing. As usual it's the rules that will be the big deal though. Sounds like this also incorporates GH2018 points updates.

Someone on Natfka was posting about their discussion at warhammer fest with the rules guys. Only real insight is that shooting out of combat is gone, and that the priority roll is still in. However, taking the double turn will come with drawbacks so it's no longer an auto-win.

So command abilities require command points which you get from battalions or from saving up over the turns:

Good stuff. I've only played a few games and I'm loving all these changes. I hated to see some of my Skaven Warlords do nothing but be decent fighters and the neat Command abilities go to waste.

Just give me some kind of character protection rules and I'm completely on board with this.

Not shooting out of combat will help characters survive already.

New preview has the character protection. Non monster heroes are -1 to hit if within 3" of friendly units.

Seems reasonable simple and fair.

Realms also now have unique artifacts. Sounds like they are really making the realm choice integral, but you'll need to know what realm you are in for list building.

Maggotkin generate Contagion Points and already have summoning rules to use them. 21pts for a GUO for instance. Up to now though, they'd also require reinforcement points so no one used them.

Death doesn't have an alternate points system in LoN though. Not sure how they will work.

Along with showing how one of the new free summoning abilities work.

A free treelord once per game sounds like a good time.

I'm thinking the predatory spells might get a bit expensive. There are probably going to be eight of them, and each model is small monster sized. $200 worth of models?

The realms sound like they'll have a big effect. Random table wide effects, command abilities and a multi-spell list available to all wizards.

New Mortarch model unveiled.

I can't decide if it's a masterpiece of model design that will be deceptively stable, or if it's going to be an absolute nightmare to store/carry.

None of the Nighthaunt stuff will travel well. Dope model though.
