GW News: SKAVEN VICTORY! #NewAoS

It's an addendum to the 40K rule book. From what I've read, it contains 1. Vehicle Design Rules, 2. More stratagems, relics, and warlord traits, particularly for non-updated armies, 3. Apocalypse rules and other new ways to play the game, including more battle plans for Planetstrike and Stronghold Assault, and 4. Other new stuff.

 

Well, while I'm getting prepared for my vacations, you should be prepared for this:



Merry Holidays to all of you (and Nightbringer).

 

We will show them that we do not serve... WE RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The Tomb Kings look fantastic, glad they finally made it to the party!

 

And in style!

 

Do you mean the campaign is better or did they alter other mechanics?


Looks like CA gave the Tomb Kings are pretty full roster. It looks like just about everything is represented. What have we not seen? Bone Giant (but we have the cooler Heirotitan), Swarms. Anything else?

 

The next hero for Malign Portens

 

awwwww poo. Looks like the Tomb Kings chatter has died out. We're back to AoS.


It was nice while it lasted.

 

It's only because everyone was hoping that the Destruction Malign Portents hero would be a Goblin, and it is, a Night Goblin to be exact. I actually quite like him because he would be a good Night Goblin Great Shaman model for my Orcs and Goblins.

In any case, I've been looking at an unboxing video of the Mantic Empire of Dust stuff and I'm really, really, REALLY tempted to start Tomb Kings now! Especially as the Empire of Dust starter army, basically the Mantic equivalent of a battalion box with a character as well is only £30 on some sites, where it would normally be £60. Now THAT's what I call good value models!

It contains 20 Skeleton Warriors, 20 Archers, 10 Tomb Guard, 3 Ushabti, a Screaming Skull Catapult and a dual-purpose character model that can be built as either a Tomb King or a Liche High Priest (although the Tomb King looks badass I would probably have to make him as the priest to have a Heirophant, although I could get another of the model to make the Tomb King version afterwards), and for £30 that's quite a good starter for TK I think.

At least it will be an original idea, as you say. Perhaps they will be the nemeses of the Kharadron Overlords in a Warhammer version of Pirates of the Carribean!

 

'Tis season you better lock the house down and pray for your God-Emperor to survive this nauseating plague (and get a free wallpaper!).

 

Don't you mean that they're sick?

 

Hahaha... clearly original.

Now where have I seen them before?

Sounds like a great deal. The GW stuff would cost you magnitudes more! (especially now that they are discontinued)

Another one joins our ranks!
