Is it crazy that the first thing I'm painting out of Dominion is Yndrasta God her with Praetors passing off wounds on 3+, Praetors ignoring on 5+, if they don't intercept she has a 4+ ward and if a Praetor croaks she just revives it. In combination with the new banner guy this is a very tough clump of units to move.

JollyBoyJohn posted:That's wild but then I suppose no one wants to think about replacing 160 clanrats Clanrats at least are probably safe - they're relatively new plastic and the sculpts more than hold up to AoS plastics. What we really need are plastic Plague Monks, Skryre Acolytres, and Night Runners.

I got my first game of third in with some of the units from Dominion proxied in and good lord those new crossbow orcs are not okay lol. There's basically no reason to ever use their single shot profile because all you're doing is fishing for mortals on 5+ to hit (with the shaman). Orcs are an elite shooting army now, easily lol. Nothing I had could withstand it.

Sneak peak at some new SCE points from their (presumed) new battletome, along with a hint at a new battleline unit called Vanquishers. Notably, Sequitors no longer have a Lord Arcanum as general requirement to be battleline.

Talas posted:How did you feel about the game in general while playing? Especially in comparison with 2nd edition. Slower? Faster? Cramped? I got an 800 pt. game in a couple weeks ago and liked it a lot. The new hero and command abilities are very strong. We probably ran longer than normal but it didn't feel like it since the opponent's turn has plenty of opportunities for you to interject with a CA. I played SCE versus proxied Kruleboyz and did decently before getting utterly annihilated by their mortal wound spam. Those crossbow guys might end up being a problem lol.

A possible sculpt misstep and probably the cause of everyone saying "look at this goofy grinning guy" is the tusk in the back of his mouth obscuring its downward turn - he has a pretty neutral expression but at a glance it can read as a smile

Finally getting around to assembling the Blissbarb Archers from the last big Slaanesh release and these might be some of the most over-designed battleline units I have ever seen. Every one of them is a character-level of detail. Gorgeous of course, but lord I do not look forward to painting 33 (or more) of these things

MonsterEnvy posted:Here’s hoping for Pestigors. If they're anything like Slaangors they'll be 20 pts more expensive than whatever their closest equivalent is in the Maggotkin book, have like 2 attacks with -1 (read: 0) rend, die to a stiff breeze, zero way of making them battleline, and be such beautiful models that you might not care about any of the aforementioned Grizzled Patriarch posted:I am glad they're getting a new Sorcerer since the old metal one just doesn't fit the army's current aesthetic at all, but I'm really hoping they announce at least one other mortal battleline unit for Maggotkin. At least the entire range looks amazing, because you sure don't get many options to choose from. It rules when a whole army is built around the concept of "You can summon right? There's your rules right there. No need to pay for what you summon, we'll just fold those points into what you've already fielded!"

Grizzled Patriarch posted:On paper it sounds like the disease mechanic is just a slightly worse / more annoying form of the exploding 6s that other armies have, but it might be one of those things that sounds underwhelming until you see it in action - especially if there end up being ways to modify the rolls / boost disease points. I'm sure someone has cranked out all the math on it already though. If it only happened on 6's to hit I'd agree but it's also happening in the movement and combat phase passively (with probably more ways to add tokens we're not aware of), which probably gives it an edge

Talas posted:There's was a 4chan rumor of a full rework of the old Skaven models for next year or early 2023, like the one they are going to do with Eldar in 40k. We can really only trace the legitimacy of these by looking at what other rumors they're paired with and this just seems deeply unlikely to me. iirc this post also said seraphon are getting new models at the same time (agrieved oldhammer wish fulfillment alarm bells automatically went off for these two) and also said bonereapers were getting a new book (with two new units we haven't sene hide nor hair of) by the end of January, which is an impossibility at this rate I'd be ecstatic if my Skaven got a refresh but it feels like one of those model lines GW is just sort of "done" with, barring a new hero every few years

A Carly Rae Jihad posted:All right so I guess I'm putting in an order for some Hedonites, but I have one tiny bit of hesitation left: the battleline units for this army are easily the most boring looking units in the line. The archers are my favorite, but I can't imagine wanting 30 of them, the Daemonettes are whatever (and don't seem very good?), and the Hellstriders are actively ugly (are these just much older models? They look like the bad kind of butt). It's a real shame there's no way to make the various Seeker units battleline since they're among my favorites! I would personally avoid putting too many daemons (especially a keeper) in your starting line-up as they can easily be summoned later - definitely pick some up though, a Keeper and at least 10 Daemonettes (but preferably 30 for flexibility) are mandatory IMO I would ditch the Hellstriders if you don't like them (no one really does, but they are technically our cheapest option). I would also double check that subbing Slickblades for them will really work for you, as they're quite a bit taller and come on bigger bases. Blissbarbs are great for mobility and parting out their shots to generate DP so definitely keep them. If I were you I'd slot in a Lord of Pain somewhere so you can run Painbringers and Twinsouls as battleline, who make a decent little bulwark for your squishy archers. Also don't miss out on Sigvald - I'd recommend finding room for him somewhere as he's the best unit in the army and probably the only one in the book that feels worth his points.

GIRL BRAINS posted:Boy I hope they get rid of the pushed into battle rule. lmao they did not. I can't believe it either. New Screaming Bell looks legit, tho  1 less cast and still slow as hell, but trades that for the ability to swap to a priest on a whim (pretty situational) and almost guarantees you get a free Verminlord summon if you shatter the bell at the right time. I like it. What I don't like is the price breakdown of the new box lol. I did some educated guessing and came out to approx. $174 for the Skaven half and $250 for Sylvaneth based on webstore prices

The Skaven tome about to drop makes me want to build Skaven lists and work out what I've got and how it fits together, but I'm like 99% certain that Skaven listbuilding isn't going to remotely resemble what they currently have. At least I hope it doesn't because it currently sucks lol Just let me take whatever battleline I want, it's not like skryre acolytes are a real thing that people would ever abuse - they'd have to buy them first for legit comp. I just wanna take a giant brick of plague monks in every list.

I'm waiting to digest the new skaven rules for another couple weeks but there's a few things bothering me. It feels bad to get a method of squeezing more attacks out of hordes at the same time that a new GHB is giving everyone that ability through different means. Like I get it, rules teams don't talk to each other and compare notes, but still lol. Also figured that bonuses to reinforcement was going to be a norm going forward after seeing it in DoK but nothing - no changes to min unit size to boot. Don't want to sound whiny as it's not all bad - they fixed the biggest issue with the old book which was the strict limit on battleline (you only need to bring a clan leader to bring a unit of their respective battleline). Most things are a bit punchier and less random. It's a real mixed bag when you get into the behemoth space with huge points hikes (not always accompanied by buffs) hitting Verminlords - the previous best Verminlord before (Warpseer) is probably now the worst. All in all it feels like a sort of copy-paste job with no new ideas presenting themselves. But freeing up battleline probably makes up for all of this. Lists are going to get a lot more varied now.
