I am more fascinated about his mention of 3 allegiences - saurus, skinks and mixed one. Looks like Saurus finally getting some love.
the most mystery would be mixed beasts then. what to expect? an army based on stegadons/bastilodons and razors? or new models?
I hope! I think they mean mixed as in all of our army. Most monsters have the Skink key word already, except Carnos. But I hope I'm waaaaay wrong lol.
skink allegience: every "skink" unit can retreat! stegadon charge in, smash, next round retreat, charge in. and again and again
I really hope skinks will remain (or become even more) useful. Painted a lot of them the last couple of months.
i hope for more love in saurus lists. i dont want to be affraid to use dinosaurs in close combat! dinosaurs! no more words needed!
We probably won't have new models ( aside endless / terrain ) Treatment like beast of chaos. And that's what we need the most now. Also i'll wait before assembling my 2 christmas battleforce
i think so too. But let the dreams be dreams . spells/terrain is really a nice thing to look forward, especially with all the rule changes when the terrain will be a part of the summoning And of course the hope for the first Battalion with a Dread included
Im excited for new allegiance and endless spells, but I know theyre going to completely obliterate the Thunderquake Starhost because they hate strong battalions now
God damn GW releasing so much good stuff, been driven from the lizards to make furry beasts, then from them to squig lovers - now back to scales. I love it and hate it in equal measure lol.
After consideration on Rumors, and review of our army lists/release dates. I fully believe we will be receiving a new battletome, which fills in the gaps in lore, battle hosts, and spells. Additionally for new models, I expect Endless Spells and Terrain. From the current line for what appears outdated or missing gaps in army strength I could see new models for our Razordon/Salamander Kits as well as a few new Heroes and a new dino.
beast of chaos, squigs and the other factions who got updates.... they got new models right? DoK too? so if we get some changes like spells and terrain, then there should be ... i dont know... 3-4 new dinos?
wouldnt said 100% sure but dont expect much more than 3/4 endless and a piece of terrain. Beast of chaos style and they got exactly that. Maybe later boxes like Carrion empire will add models. But aside more plastic from existing model, pretty sure we wont have new " models "
i am totally fine with spells and terrain. it was more of a question, do get the reworked factions new models by far?
I just assebled 6x Ripperdactyl for my Shadowstrike. If terradons will suddenly become better than ripperdactyls, stegadons better than bastiladons, trogglodons better than carnosaurs and saurus warriors better than skinks, it will be a bit disappointing for me, because I was going to return to 40k for a while. Not that I wasn't going to have all the range. Jokes aside, I hope they won't be nerfing working stuff. No matter, how powerful some of our units are, none of them broken. Even feared Thunderquake Bastiladon has enough weaknesses. Tuning up stuff like Saurus Guard or Trogglodon and creating additional synergies through allegience abilities, magic and battalions - that is what I expect. I don't want summoning to change either, because it is balanced right now too. Also looking forward for builds without Slann. Beasts got only spells and terrain models.
if that is the case, everything will be fine. i see no point in nerfing bastilodon. it is our only really hard to kill unit and an espensive one too. all other units have a 5+ or on its best a 4+ save. just one example: a oldblood on carno has a 4+ save for 260 points. a general on griffin a 3+ for 260 points and does a lot more dmg and is way faster. one on one the griffin will kill him easily. yeah, we have a faction with great synergy, but saves, rend and mortal wounds are not our best horse.
