You sir/madam, are a legend.
Run down on lord level mannfred, is he still loremaster death+vampires, what does his armour do, what does the sword do, can he still get 2 magic items and cost in skaven slaves.
Same for Konrad, Kemmler and Krell.
Thanks if you get these.
Edit: upon further inspection we know a lot of this already, but you repeating them wouldnt do much harm.

i will give a rundown of all the special characters then when i get the book. it should be 16.00.. depends on when they arrive

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

You can confirm if there are any specific bloodline stat changes like the 6th edition or not?
Are the magic item / vampire power lists we have complete, or is there stuff we are missing (I really hope there are some more weapons / pieces of armour).

I look forward to finding out if there are some other non-carstein special characters.

check to see what happens if general dies can someone else take over?

Are any Blood Dragon special characters in the book?

 

[Munkey]

I too will be getting my hands on a new shiney book tomorrow. However, I will be retiring to my lair, selfishly keeping the contents to myself.

 

[Duke Danse Macabre]

Does the BSB have any anti crumbling benefits?

 

[Grish]

Biggest questions I have:

How does IoN work, and which units benefit from it?
What, exactly, does the new Van Hel's Danse do? Hopefully it's not merely a 8", non-charge move.
How does Hunger work?

IoN and VHD were always lynch pins and game changers in our lists. Hunger may help units like Varghulfs, Vargheists, Blood Knights, and combat characters. Curious how it works.

 

[Vallasch]

Seconded. If it's not too much of a pain, i'd like the precise wording for Van Hel's. Unless it specifically says it can't be a charge, or that it's resolved in the same way as the remaining moves sub-phase, i'd be inclined to think we can still charge with it.

Thanks!

 

[Forgotten Heretic]

can you answer the question of if ghouls are still undead or alive and if they can be raised with IoN (beyond starting size too) and what the other rules for the hexwraiths are other than riding through units? also is the Varghulf still a vampire?

This this this this this this this. Please.

Also if there are any false Core choices (i.e. ones that don't count for the 25% minimum spend).

 

[Munkey]

Sat at home, reading a book I picked up this morning...:tongue:

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Ah come on Munkey - share the love. I would be very appreciative.....

 

[Munkey]

Mua Ha Ha... Perhapes I could be persuaded to reveal a couple of juicy bites of info, if the incentive was there?

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

I am sure we can come to some agreement..it depends on what you have to show

 

[Munkey]

LOL. I have to get ready for work but before I shall mention a couple of small things...

There are 6 lord options & 9 hero options...

Wolves are slavering at the mouth to get to their enemies... (& do appear to count towards core percentage).

I'm glad I still have 24+ fell bats as they can possibly all be used, even if I only start with 2 in my list...

And finally... Vlad is actually wearing a suit of armour this time!!!

That'll do. I have to get ready and I wouldn't want to spoil the anticipation for anyone else.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Nooooo - I need more!

 

[Munkey]

I'll be back from work nearer the midnight hour. If no one else has revealed all and if I perhapes had a shiney new medal of smugness, I might reveal a bit more!

 

[Duke Danse Macabre]

Defiantly need more but VLAD HAS ARMOUR!

 

[TMS]

Someone, please tell us more about bat swarms.

6 lords, 9 heroes?! There's a converted Walach on the GW site don't know why they'd put it up unless... he's in the book?! Please full character run down soon?

I was told on another forum:

Krell
Heinrich Kemmler
Konrad Von Carstein
Mannfred Von Carstein
Isabella Von Carstein
Vlad von Carstein

Which I think is rather dissapointing.

That would account for everything we've heard. The 6 Lords being,
Vlad
Mannfred
Heinrich
Vamp Lord
Necro Lord
Strigoi Ghoul King

But there's a hero i can't account for, since someone said hero level Mannfred was out.
Konrad
Isabella
Krell
Wraith
Banshee
Wight King
Vampire
Necro

Minor Strigoi perhaps?
