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

[GDD]

Has anyone ever sieged the "Skaven HQ"? Skavenblight I believe it's called? From what I can remember it sounded impossible to attack for multiple reasons. Or to successfully attack.

EDIT: I guess it used to be a human/dwarf settlement, so there should be plenty of angry souls there..

 

[Sanai]

I don't think anyone has. There is no guarantee that the Fellblade is in Skavenblight however- its so dangerous they might have hidden it away somewhere isolated. Also, marching into a place with an army is only one of the thousands of ways you can procure something.

 

[Bullhax]

Yes, sorry for the mistake. Mannfred is going to take the Fellblade from the Skaven.

What's the source on that? Haven't heard that one before?

 

[crimsonsun]

None that I have seen. I really hope they make new rules because him suddenly having the carstein ring back would be very strange to say the least.

Oh he and krell def have new rules because they have a N next to them in that list above...

Yes, sorry for the mistake. Mannfred is going to take the Fellblade from the Skaven.

Ah, so that would explain the rumored rules for underground fighting.

It also puts a possible interesting context to the Skaven invasion of Tilea and Estalia. Skavenblight is beneath Tilea. With forces invading Skavenblight in search of the Fellblade, it wouldn't make a lot of sense for the Skaven to decide to start an offensive while their capital is vulnerable. If Skavenblight were to be destroyed and a large number forced above ground and cut off from the tunnel system, I could see that breaking out into large scale fighting against the Tileans.

Is it weird that I'm way more saddened by the possible destruction of Skavenblight than I am concerning Kislev and the rest of the northern Empire that's to be razed?

I don't think it is weird at all. Skavenblight is the cultural, economic, spiritual and military center of the warhammer world. Remember, man things, orcs, elf things and stunties only exist to supply slave labour and scrap to fuel the skaven economy.

 

[crimsonsun]

The Death of Wallach I feel is rather saddening but worse is the complete lack of Necrachs in the list.. So I've seen Valtan and Crom but are there any other Characters (non Vampire/tombking) included in the rules?

 

[Sir Geheimnisnacht]

Sanai, you speak the truth-truth!

On a side note from the possibility of Skavenblight's destruction, anyone have a good way of getting the smell of the musk of fear out of an office chair?

 

[Menkeroth]

Lots of new pics from the coming books!

where are these coming from?

 

[Sanai]

Sooo pretty. I wonder if I REALLY need my left kidney... surely two kidneys is a bit redundant right?

 

[Farmer7574]

Throgg looks really small in that art. You'd think he'd be towering over Felix. Minithroggslayer.



He can just put the staff in his ghost bookbag that he's standing on.

I'm a massive fan of giant sword-wielding bad dudes but I think the staff is the better option. At least with that you can stick the sword on his hip. The other way round, he'd look like a warcraft warlock with that staff stuck on the back.

 

[Sanai]

A good compromise would be to make the Opened Liber Mortis float in front of him with some wire (or just use the closed Liber Mortis attached to his belt) and have the sword in one hand, staff in the other like the old model did.

 

[Menkeroth]

where are these coming from?

From the coming Nagash books, of course! That's what we've been talking here all the time.
And that concerns all what I've posted.

Death of Wallach?! Oh dear, any news on Abby? And I agree it does seem strange that no necrarch vampires have come aid nagash.

 

[Bullhax]

Thank god totally missed that, was mainly worried because no leaked pics were out while someone has the book..

My poor not even started skaven might have their home destroyed.. Oh my.. Underground battle sounds epic

 

[Abbysal]

Yeah Arkhan is going for the staff and manfred is going to get the sword. You can download a sample of the new books on iBooks.

 

[Forgotten Heretic]

Is it known that the Skaven have the Fellblade? I thought it disappeared with Alcadizzar?

 

[Sanai]

any skaven warlord or gray seer can take the Fellblade for a bucketload of points, so I always assumed they had it locked away somewhere and loaned it out to really desperate warlords when needed.

 

[Forgotten Heretic]

I guess the Council must have it then, i'd forgotten it was an item the Skaven could use in their book

 

[Sanai]

I like to think that the warlord or grey seer who ends up wielding it never realizes the fancy sword the council gave him is harmful to his own health, until it is too late XD

 

[Sception]

A good compromise would be to make the Opened Liber Mortis float in front of him with some wire (or just use the closed Liber Mortis attached to his belt) and have the sword in one hand, staff in the other like the old model did.

the book and spirit are probably attached to their arm bits, making such a conversion diffacult. If you want him holding the sword, but still want the staff on the model, I'd look into converting the spirits to hold it, or maybe converting the spine tentacles on his back to do so. Also not easy conversions, but probably less diffacult than trying to extract or recreate his arm detail.

for my part, I'll be assembling him holding staff and book, with the sword at his side, because to me nagash was always a wizard first, and a warrior second.

 

[Yorga]

Is any of this new stuff going to be tournament official? I can't see the ETC allowing any of these rules or characters into their tournaments. Nor do I see them being used by all the other TO's around the world.
