well im happy, If I can take 500pts of Lords instead of 1 slot i can take a Beastlord AND Doombull wich is what I wanted to do or even Beastlord AND Great bray shaman!

I could actually have a Grey Seer and a warlord now.
Or even 7 lvl 1 warlocks for 455 Although I dont think 7 lvl 1s would be that good with the next magic rules.

I haven't even started worrying about my army yet lol
You guys are obsessed!
Though I may well have to pick up a High Elf battalion before the price hike!

Plastic crack man, got ta have it! Im just torn as Forge World have released a ton of Resin Heroin for Orks and im being lured by my addiction to Green!!!

oh I know that Mega Dread is just calling me, already have 2 Deff dreads and 9 kanz but can never have to many walkers.

Yea i got one for my birthday! its awesome!! only thing is they are soon releasing new arm(s) for it!! so I need another one I have my eye on the Chinork at the moment to lead my 20 Deff Koptas in Apoc games I also want the Nob bikes to go with my bike boss I got from them ages ago and I love the new supa grot artillery then there is the soon to be releases grot tanks.... Ill stop now before I mess my pants

A couple of things I've managed to find out about the new WFB edition. I don't remember if anyone has posted them before, but cba to read through the whole thread.

Units will get infinite rank bonus. The only restriction is they can only be as deep as wide. It looks like they will also get some kind of horde bonus for big numbers.

The magic phase will be before the movement phase. Movement spells are going to become way better, cause it will be possible to move with a spell and charge afterwards.

Here is a good link to a lot of the rumours and some one who has watched a couple of games using 8th.

Just watch out after the first few pages it gets in to a massive debated on true line of sight. Best to just read the first page.

The rumours are pointing that the phase will stay the same, the early rumours said magic then movement which would have made skitter leap awesome but it seems that is not true anymore.

Rank bonus also have not changed other than you dont get +1 for outnumbering.

There is a horde rule that if you are 10 wide you get to attack with one more rank than normal.

I quite like the idea of Skaven being able to fight 10-wide, sort of makes up for losing the +1 outnumber which the rats have always relied upon so much. Very unwieldy to manoeuvre such a unit though.

With regards to characters I'm really hoping its the 25% Lord, 25% Hero version. Otherwise that Screaming Bell I've been working on won't get much use!

Well, I think it is 25% lords/25% heros. If you look at the two O&G lists GW posted yesterday they break all the old rules, but keep to the 25/25 new style rule

Phew!

Yeah this seems to be 99% certain now. Makes a lot more sense. Screaming Bell - you're back in!
