The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

You're not the only one! In between all the facebook comments of 'not more Stormcast' and 'redo [insert army of choice]' there are people mentioning that this past year or so has brought them back into GW. Even the letters page of White Dwarf echoes that, although I'm sure the Alex Jones' of the miniatures world would say they're fake letters. 

Me too....although I have not actually caved in yet, I probably will.
The possibilities of converting those new Dwarves into my sci-fi plans may prove too much of a temptation.

I look forward to all the anti-Stormcast tears that will be shed on Facebook.  

Oh, and 'Tactical Arena Combat' surely ain't Mordheim. Someone on Facebook pointed out that the first hint of it not being Mordheim was the mention of it being geared towards competitive play.

[Elbows]

That and there were some rumours about a 2018 game aimed at Mordheim --- so perhaps this isn't the Shadow World companion.

Hey, at least its a game with a small model count?  I'm curious to see if it has any actual depth. I'm going to guess it wont stand up to comparison to Blood on the Sand by our own Furt.

Death players weep once more...

More Khorne?

[Elbows]

Khorne makes me weep...their model range is one of the most awful things GW currently produces.     Everyone else seems to have benefited from some thought/restraint/artistic value...not Khorne.

More Khorne?

Just an updated battletome, much like the Stormcast one. No new models.

I am hoping they diversify and add "common" warriors of Nurgle as the had for the other two powers prior to expanding the domain of the Blood God.  I need fodder for my AoS28 project so I can get that up and running.  A book is just a book; Hoping on models.  Still more interested in the 40k skirmish game atm though.

Cheers stubby fingers don't mix with iPhones

To be fair, it can't be a surprise that the Chaos god of war and bloodshed is very well-represented in a wargame, can it?

Just an updated battletome, much like the Stormcast one. No new models.

I hope that as they release more stuff, the various subfaction-specific tomes get "folded back" with any errata and updates into one consolidated book. It's very discouraging for any new player to need to buy lots of books and then download an errata/update for each book as well.

Of course, that doesn't help the "early adopters", but they'd still have a buy a new book anyway I guess.

[stone-cold-lead]

Yeah, these updated battletomes are a good move. All the points and stuff from the General's Handbook are in there, updated warscrolls and new ones added. If it's anything like the Stormcast one it'll be a similar size to the old Khorne battletome but have more usable stuff in it and be a damned bit cheaper too. It makes it a lot easier for new players.

Looks like they did a sneak peek for the Death Guard and Cultists of Nurgle at Adepticon.  Saw a teaser video; Not much to it but I'm sure some better images will be on the way shortly.  Very much a 90s death guard vibe to the sculpts.  Look pretty decent but the shot of the cultist looked very cool.
