Upcoming Warhammer Fantasy Releases- Including Nagash & new VC stuff.

  • The masquerade of murder returns! A new game of Vampires Amongst Us has begun. Unmask the killers, trust no one, and try to survive the night. Find out more and sign up now!
I will be using a proxy nagash until Christmas when I can hopefully convince the wife that 65 quid on a 'toy' is worth it. The rules and scenarios look awesome and I just need to find someone with a tomb kings army to battle
 
Dear brothers and sisters, @najo @lord marcus ,etc.
I'm a 30 years old Italian immigrant who work in the health care in Sweden,and just bought 4 months ago his own apartment and alone with his dog. I do count my pennies,o kronor in this case, one by one.
I'm shocked by the price by one of the most wanted miniature i desired since ever.
I do not belive the hype since the PS2 came out.
Here in Sweden the miniature costs about 780 kr,which is around 8,5 hrs of work. Not a bad deal,still,big deal when u play once at week at most.
Again,i support the company when i can and my meta cover the rules and the scenarios,but still i wanna look what the other competitors do.
This is the same situation with the smartphones,too many people belive the fruit brand is the best and is not overpriced.
I did tried them all,and now i can quietly say is a rip off.
Same mentality with the miniature or whatever else ido.
The only real vote and choice we have left is what we do with our hard,or not,earned money.
For the rest, happy mardi gras,I'm buyin a ticket for a round trip in the USA :P

So some more stuff....

Next 3 fantasy releases are all End Times Volumes like the Nagash book. My best guess would be one of them focuses on Archaeon?
Chaos Chosen are getting models.
Tomb Kings are getting a colossus kit.
Large swathes of the world are getting invaded by large daemonic or chaos related incursions, including Lustria, The Empire, Ulthuan, The Dwarven Holds in the copper mountains, etc.
The skaven launch a largely successful large scale invasion of Tilea & Estalia.
Huge Stone monoliths rip out of the ground around the world, beastmen begin gathering around them.
The Green knights identity is revealed and Leancours son leads an army of disgraced knights and undead knights to kill his father.
 
Just read through the link massive spoiler about the green knight! If you like surprises I'd say don't read through it! Looks almost like a certainty that Abby is NOT going to be involved at all. Given the information on the link, which is somewhat sad. End of the world
heroes strolling all over the globe and the greatest warrior to walk the earth is content to sit on his mountain :( maybe GE just forgot about him what with all the other new releases, which I think are great. So Think I'm going to pay and get nagash pro painted as I would not be able to do that model justice. :)
 
Does anyone else think the new Monstrous Infantry choice coming is insanely overpriced at 80-90 points a pop? Skull Crushers are 75 and have twice the attacks and a 1+ armor save. I grow less enthusiastic about this release the more I find out about it.
 
I pre-ordered my copy of Nagash at the weekend, gladly I have never agreed with the way GW have marketed the new Magic Cards, being limited edition and while for once it was not due to being off put by the cost ( which is still silly for essentially 7 cards) I just never understood the sales tactic of making such core editions limited. I would by far prefer they went back to the fourth/fifth edition policy of magic expansions rather than a limited access set of cards. Luckily with programs like strange eon's available free of charge creating and printing your own set that look just as good is no more than a few hours work at worst.

I will add Nagash at some point but he can wait I have a standard budget for anything hobby related of £30 a fortnight plus money from birthdays, anniversary and xmas I squirrel away until such time as I need it (normally kickstarters over the last 3 years) that way I can keep a fresh supply of new hobby purchases coming my way without excessively blowing huge chunks of cash which keep the Mrs happy :D.

I am interested in the Morgheists party because I feel they will work well to tie in different themes of Undead and also as I cannot think of a suitable conversion, I am also interested in Neferata but I am less sure of the creature being ridden (and the overload of included skulls), also large projects like Nagash and mounted characters will likely stay on my painting bench for a year or two before I have the balls to pick up a paint brush as I know I will never be satisfied with the finished result, as while I feel I can paint units to a high gaming standard I have no where near the hand eye coordination for painting characters well and free hand painting is totally beyond my skill set.

I am currently behind on the rumours so will be attempting to catch up over this afternoon to find out all to details of the book I will have in my hands by the weekend...

What is this free program for magic cards you mention?
 
@Archamedius I don't play with special characters, so for me the big thing was being able to use TK units.
The morghasts are a bit costly, but their buffs stack with each other apparently. So multiple units of two can help out some lists a lot. I think TK players might like them more than us. To support their animated stuff.

The big thing is though.. If the book ignores "undead" and "TK undead".. If that would be the case than the book is suddenly crazy.
 
Strange Eons is a card making program I use for WFRP, but it has many mods built for it. Do a search in google, you need to download it and then some file extensions. I imagine the WFRP cards would work perfectly. I can show you a example...

Holy wow, just read some of he fluff/narrative and it sounds insane. The Winter Vaults in Athel Loren, Louencoer... The Green Knight... to name but a few...
 
The only thing i recognized was the oak of ages splitting open with maggots. what are the winter vaults? and thanks about the program.

From the link posted, it appears that the Winter Vaults is what the Oak of Ages is held in or something. The vaults break open and the oaks are revealed to be split with maggots.
 
The oak is a massive tree in the center of Athel Loren, which Orion and Ariel sleep in during winter. So the vaults couldn't be what it is inside, as it is inside the forest. hmmmm

Well their ability to reduce wounds lost to unstable, if it indeed stacks will make them very good in monster heavy lists fx when you take a mortarch gives you the ability to ram them into a large unit with rank bonuses with out the fear of blowing up. But statwise I'm equally unimpressed especially the hover rule..
 
Just picked up the White Dwarf today and am currently pouring over it. "The canopic jars around his belt may contain what little remains of his internal organs. Or, more specifically, the organs of the noble body he possessed to re-enter the mortal realm..." Who would that be? The Everqueen?

That was my guess. Wait.... does that make the returned Nagash the first Transgender games workshop character? How progressive of them!

According to these leaks,
Settra captures Arkhan and Nagash possesses him and enters the Black Pyramid to regain his powers. He then dismembers Settra.
So probably him. Although
Arkhan apparently kills Eltharion while he attempted to save Aliathra
so he could be a possibility.

what are the winter vaults?
I'm not remotely knowledgeable on Wood Elf fluff, but aren't the trees themselves the "Vaults of Winter", the Oak of Ages holding Ariel and Orion during winter like a vault holds valuables.

That would make sense.

I love how they're not shying away from killing off characters. The beauty of it being, as soon as a character is killed, BRING THEM BACK WITH UNDEATH! Like GRRM without permadeath. Although not sure how that works out for Settra...

Which got me thinking... re Tomb Kings... if each city has its own dynasties entombed, stretching back thousands of years... you know that's hundreds of former kings... and they all got brought back during the times in which the whole of Nehekhara got skeletised, how do they decide which one gets to be the CURRENT city's King?
