The first GW release of 2015 will be the next End Times book.
Not sure as to its name but most importantly it covers the Master Race as well as having rules for dungeon battles.
hopefully we'll get new rules and units to make us competitive. I'd even accept a boost up to mid-tier.
Is it so hard to balance Warp Lightning Cannons? Every other cannon is always strength ten. Strength two for 90 points? So under powered.

Maybe they need to be allowed up to 6 choices like bolt throwers.
DeleteIt might be the big, throbbing, bulbous template at the end of the shot, the one that ignores armour saves and is still multiple wound (d6) that makes it hard to balance.
DeleteOr the ability to shoot into combat, and to shoot through obstacles. Or if you have the right moral flexibility, the ability to model the barrel pointing at the sky so you can shoot over terrain and units.
It's not a bad bit of kit for 90 points...
Yawn.....it doesn't get re-rolls for Africa like Dwarfs when everyone knows that Skaven tech is superior
Delete145 points should buy you a better cannon than 90, but the difference isn't 55 points worth, so you come out ahead.
DeleteRight?
ReplyDeleteEveryone screams OP when my Doomwheel oneshots their dragon lord. But no one takes into account my six Skaven slaves its fried on the way!
Alan
Now that I can't argue with, won't someone please think of the slaves...
DeleteI am, waaaaay over priced, I hope the new book drops them by at least a point and makes them properly unbreakable instead of just stubborn LD10.

Someone will be a happy rat come January.
Oh yes

LOL, I guess he did :)
DeleteIf it pans out like I think it might, GW are setting up the fluff justification for merging Dwarves and Empire/Brets. Skaven/Goblins evict the Dwarves, Dwarf survivors head to the Empire. Much woe and pulling of beards, yaddda yadda yadda.
I guess GW want me to buy some Demigrypyhs, Steamtanks and Warrior Priests for my Dwarves, preferably at NZ retail prices.
Um, how far away are we now from the Tyranids fluff that says they consumed the dwarfs?

Mmmm Can't wait for 100 model Skaven slave Blocks filled with fanatics. Supported by warp lightning cannons and doom divers :)

Doesn't bother me as long as they increase the range of Irondrakes to 24", allow re-roll all misses, and the troll hammer torpedo gets quick to fire and 36" range.
