8th Ed. "Battlescrolls" release all through December.

Have you guys noticed?

GW are putting out "Battlescrolls" for WHFB and "Datasheets" for 40K, 1 each day all through december.

These scrolls contain rules, fluff and info about some kind of unit or character, which is to be treated as an entry in the current army book / codex (I get the feeling of torn out pages that gets found along the way )

First scroll is "Be'lakor" the first daemon prince, who is a SC that can be used both by WoC and DoC.
People on Warseer predicts that all armies and races will get a supplement of some kind during december (Wishlisting..ENGAGE!)


subjects for speculations:
- Is this their new way of introducing new units, in a much more flexible fashion?
(I sense some danger here though, as if they don't FAQ often it could lead to some heavy inflation/arms race)

- have they kept things out of the latest books for this event?

- What will we get?! personally I pray that we don't get another special character as I only play generic....
I have a feeling that one should look to the newest or "un-ruled" models still in production.

I cross my fingers for a "Battlescroll: Skink High Priest" with palanquin option

 

Would love to see Nakai as a krox hero...

 

hadn't thought about it like that...hopefully they continue afterwards, maybe not daily but often.

hadn't even thought about that.


My upmost wish is this:

a "Sacred Spawnings" rule supplement.

 

Oh gods yes.

/Don't get my hopes up like that!

 

I wish it was free....

 

Source?

I cannot find anything about it on the GW page ?

Topic: I WANT A CANNON! YAYYY D: D: D:

 

I always wondered why they hadn't done this...
Should be awesome.

 

Im feeling the future will/should be digital armybooks and regular patching.

 

Source is secondhand from Warseer.

This would go pretty well with their "rules comes after we make a cool model" approach ..I could live with this!

 

Looks like it won't be special characters only. Today's release is a new unit type for Tau in 40k.

 

if this hits the fan I forgive Vertock in everything he has done to the LM Core, yet it seems unrealistic -.-

 

It's actually not a new unit for Tau. It is a formation, kind of like the Apocolypse battle formations. What is interesting though is that this rule set for the Firebase Support Cadre is for the Christmas Bundle released for the Tau (Riptide + 6 Broadsides). I wondered what anyone would buy that for, now I know. Looks like there are specific rules associated with the formation.

So, I haven't played Storm of Magic, what is the equivalent to formations withing WHFB? That could be something coming down the road.

 

If the future is digital, GW needs to branch out from iOS to Windows. Until that happens they won't get a dime of my money for digital army books as I don't own an iPad, nor do I plan to ever own one.

 

Hi Rychek, the digital editions actually come in e-book format as well now. So compatible with Kindle apps and should work on Windows platform as well.

 

You get 15 pages, of which I suspect about 3 pages will be rules.

Today's release is for Undead. If there are any Lizardmen releases I'll buy them and post a review.

 

nice, thanks!
