End Times Archaon - Spoilerific Discussion

[Mr Mystery]

Formation for the dwarf players (or people who like Gelt, I guess)


Gelt, incarnate of metal
Runelord
2x unit thunderer
1x unit irondrakes
1x unit of ironbreakers
2x cannon
1x organ gun
2x gyrocopter


All dwarves have +1 armor save and armor piercing as long as Gelt is alive.
Dwarf player rolls for each unit that can shoot in their first shooting phase, on a 5+ that unit can shoot twice that turn, on seperate targets if wanted.



Cause apparently dwarf gunlines weren't cheesy enough yet.

Jeebus!

Any info on the Everychosen army list info? :P

[Mr Mystery]

As a general aside....

I'm liking the adoption of a Game of thrones approach to hero mortality of The End Times.

It is pleasing not to have Heroic Plot Armour!

That's the way old GW handled it too (before timelines were frozen and static). They'd give the rules for anyone and everyone but many times those characters lived at different periods throughout the history of the the Warhammer world. I too am glad to see it come back to that.

Apparently you didn't read the other thread, White Tiger:

For someone who keeps asking, it sounds like the Grand Legion of the Everchosen is this: Everything from the list in Glottkin, plus all Chaos the stuff in the Archaon book, plus Skaven. There might be some more in there, but until we know more, that's all we have to go on.

They'd also write "deaths" from battle reports into the fluff, especially in 40K. Captain Tycho's face being messed up by an Ork Weirdboy was an early 2nd edition batrep in WD where he was killed with an Ork psychic power (back when that could happen), and Commissar Yarrick's capture and escape from Golgotha was a Space Marine batrep in WD where Orks were fighting IG and Squats and right at the end of the game a unit of Warbuggies assaulted his tank and destroyed it.

I miss those days...

If those days were back, everyone would be complaining about characters changing from one month to the next and the "ever-shifting meta" and you know it.

Oh, I forgot to mention: White Dwarf also has a Thanquol short story!

We catch up to our (anti) hero as he contemplates his new life on the Council of Thirteen. How is getting everything you ever wanted going? (Spoiler: not as well as he'd hoped).

Skreech shows up and tells Thanquol he's not to get involved in the last battle: this world is no longer safe, win or lose, and Skavenblight has to move to... somewhere else...

Dun dun dun!

[Mr Mystery]

Ooooooh! Saucy!

Could Thanquol wind up as The Great Horned Rat of a new world?

[Theik]

Not just the dwarves who get formation love, though!

Tyrion, Incarnate of Light
Imrik, Crown Prince of Caledor
2 High Elf Princes
1 unit of reiksguard
2 units of knightly orders
1 unit of demigryph knights

Earth-shaking Charge: Units in this formation get +d3 to their combat result for charging instead of +1.

1 unit of eternal guard

Fires of Vengeance: As long as Caradryan is alive, all units in this formation have Devastating Charge and Flaming Attacks

Bubblehammer time!
Leave it to the Skaven to blow up the entire ******* planet, I mean, they already did it to the moon.
