[Archive] Some interesting rumours about 8th

Thommy H:

I think my favourite rumour about 8th so far is all the magic items in the Rulebook. I like the “Foldable Tower” thing or whatever it is. The Beastmen book actually contains (what I imagine is) a very similar item in the form of a herdstone that grows from the ground or something that you then put in your deployment zone. Blatantly, the idea behind this is that if you have a terrain piece of the right description, you can use it and have it have some game effect without using the special features rules. So if you have a wizard’s tower in your terrain collection, you can use it in the game by paying points for it. And I think that’s pretty cool.

Kered:

I will just get a gallows ready for my wallet.

I’m very glad too see magic cards coming back. I printed off the 7 edition ones for my blue scribes and let my opponent pick on at random.

165

Thommy H:

Looking forward to the new rules and the pretty pictures, but I could not be more ambivalent towards the stupid tat in that picture. Who the hell needs a flamer template that looks like it came out of that wind-up robot from Return to Oz? If you buy that, you’ve got more money than sense.

166

Kered:

but… but… its so pretty.

but I do see your point but I’v had no need to get a template before I got chaos dwarves so I might get one now.

167

Baggronor:

I actually think the golden templates look really cool :cheers
Alas, I have more sense than money. Which, in its own way, is even more depressing.
168

AGPO:

If that stuff comes in the boxed set I’ll more than happily pick it up. However as I rarely game these days the new rules are merely a curiosity. I may try and get a few games in down Warhammer World but I don’t have most of my collection up here i Notts.

169

Grimstonefire:

I don’t think they will come in the box, you’d have to buy them separately.

Also, it may be worth people heading down to their GW on saturday, as I hear they will have the 8th ed book (the big one) on public display.

Grimstonefire:

Beat me to it!

Some serious things in there for sure.

I really like these ones:

Schwert der Pein () 5 pts

Monster or character that loses one or more wounds to this sword, will suffer from stupid

Kriegerfluch () 5 pts

Monster or character that loses one or more wounds to this sword, will lose one attack (but will keep at least one attack)

173

Thommy H:

Awesome.

Also, if anyone had any doubt that the Ravening Hordes list will need some clarifying, the presence of the Obsidian items in this list (some of which have the same names as Chaos Dwarf magic items, I think) proves that there’s going to need to be an errata of some kind.

phierlihy:

Watch out everybody! Groshnot the Hobgoblin is out on the field hunting Steam Tanks. He’s got his handy-dandy sword of +3 strength and his potion of +3 strength. Huzzah!

178

Swissdictator:

I’m just happy Spears will finally be a very good choice, and not just Hw/Sh for the most part. This makes very happy as I made two armies that can horde easily (Skaven and Skeletons) have spears. Plus Empire spearmen are always a fun choice too, and I always preferred Dark Elven Spears over their Corsairs.

I’m really excited for the potential of my Empire in the new edition. For my Chaos Dwarfs, the expanded generic Magic Item List is going to REALLY help us. Plus the Earthshaker will provide a more vital roll I suspect.
