WFB 9th Edition Rumor Roundup

[Lexington]

It's just promotional copy, but, man, that background sounds like the most atrocious Tolkien wannabe word-babble.

I don't think we're seeing the Empire here, more the Space Marines to the Empires Astra Militarum, those chaos though. **** me, lovely stuff!

Good riddance to those previous boxes, those Warriors and Marauders are brilliant

Hey, here's the Chaos side of the equation:

In the grim darkness of the Mortal Realms, there are only pants.

Interesting point on the forces of the God-King....

Roll on next Saturday!

A guy in my local gaming group posted this on our fb wall. It looks like it might be the contents of the starter box.

Gosh, those are all ****ing lovely.

Miffed that they're all dudes, but what can y'do.

[Mr Mystery]

I spy a plastic Bloodhound with the Chaoslord.

I really like the aesthetic of the Sigmarites, I'm not gonna lie. And interdimensional wars of vengeance are my bag, baby. Just show me some vampires and I'm yours, Warhammer.

Yeah, I'm wondering what the deal is there. While it looks nice cinematically, that lends more to the idea of a game based around the heroes, with his base being larger and including his pet in order to boost his "presence" on the battlefield.* I wonder if that means we'll see more character models with impressive bases and all in order to help them stand out and make them easier to spot on the table? If you're making characters the focus, that makes sense.




*I hope that made sense, people started talking around me at the right level to trigger my headaches, which makes it hard to concentrate.

If the playtest example is to be believed, and increasingly thinking it is, they Generals are focal, having one killed will effect your army, having one killed by the enemy general in a challenge? Even more so, not to the Warmachine lengths of killing the general means you win but they're massively powerful but also need to be looked after.
