GW News: magic and prayers in #NewAoS

I mean, they already are? Just a matter of giving them square bases, really.

 

You're correct. They're one of the nine supported factions.

 

As others have said, Beastmen are already one of the Core factions, so what do you mean by this? That they're being dropped from AoS and moved over to TOW?

There have been rumours about them in the pipeline for a while. Here's hoping for some plastic Dawi-Zharr (in an amalgamation of the two Fantasy aesthetics of course)!

It's a possibility that they could throw us a curve ball, especially as GW have been so good at missing product opportunities in the past (though it'll make me wonder why the Dwarf dice were teased so long ago if it's not them), but as long as the faction isn't Empire I'm not bothered (and even if it is Empire, one of my main gaming pals is a big Empire fan so I'll be happy that he'll be happy).

 

Full as in no cross compatibility. This came from the guy who has the cleanest record of leaks so who knows.

More leaks, speaking of:

 

A Wood Elves reveal at this point is an extreme longshot. I can see it being Dwarfs or Empire. That would make most sense.

 

...the sad thing is, I could see GW dropping Beasts as a separate army for Chaos, dropping them back into The Old World, and just allocating some of the units into the other Chaos armies (likely Slaves to Darkness).

 

Another two rumours:

• Range in melee, ¡afuera! (argentinean reference).
• Everything becoming USR.

Also, ensambled sprue with PS.

 

That doesn't really work as an independent faction in 40K. Adeptus arbites are basicly just imperial guard. How the hell would you turn that into a fullfledged army?

Are you sure it's not for killteam or something?

 

They already appeared in Kill Team a while back (against Dark Eldar), so if they are coming as @Cristhian MLR thinks, they'll likely be an army somehow.

But then I've not noticed any clues relating to Arbites... the only leads I've seen relate to Chaos Space Marines for some reason.

 

There's already a Codex leak:

 

There's a lot of stuff, wait please!

40K:

Chaos Lord, Chaos Lord with Jump Pack.
No new Chaos Termies nor Chaos Raptors.



They get not one but TWO Battleforces to celebrate the new Lords. One on each box.

Jump Lord has kitty paws, doesn't he?

Also, on X, they released the new Combat Patrol for CSM:



Warcry:

OBR vs Sylvaneth, plenty of bone beasts and bees!





Underworlds:

FEC vs Lightning-struck Flagellants.



AoS:

Leaks were right, Abraxia, right hand of Archaon, she's here.



TOW:

Dwarfs!



Kill Team:

GSC vs LoV!

AoS 4E will be a total rules rewrite!

Willl it now be Fantasy but round bases or 40K but fantasy setting?

 

So, this article here will tell you more in detail about the 4E wide points, but:

• Major ruleset rewrite. Battletomes will no longer be valid at the start of the Edition:
  
• Those new Spearhead boxes we seen pop off recently? Those are basically the new Combat Patrol mode from 40K for us. Wish them good luck for an actually "balanced" game mode.

 

Yay, Dwarves!

 

I don't care for the human models. The FEC models look relatively generic, but cool.
