Just got my copy of the book and I must say, I’m liking the changes, especially with the Mark of Nurgle! Only thing that I didn’t like was the fact that the book was so expensive.. I’m also thinking of all the possibilities you can do with them, for example a knight based army, with everyone in the army mounted on something.
Also I would love a video about the sygnergy in the book!
WoC synergy video, yes plese!!
First of all, yes please for a WoC synergy video!
Secondly, for Warren looking for a Khorne BSB. Try this one out:
Mark of Khorne, Halberd, Juggernaut, Armour of Destiny, Scaled Skin – 276pts
1+/4++ with 3 wounds and 5 S6 attacks plus those of the Juggernaut and a stomp
Stick him in a unit of 6 Skull Crushers and smash anything up that stands in the way.
You could also go totally overboard and add the following Chaos Lord to the unit and run it 4*2 with Standard/Musician:
Mark of Khorne, Shield, Juggernaut, Talisman of Preservation, Ogre Blade, Other Tricksters Shard, Soul Eater, Flaming Breath – 420pts
1+/4++, 6 S7 Attacks, forces models in base contact (so put the BSB on the other side of the unit!) to re-roll passed Ward saves, plus the benefits from the Juggernaut.
Brutal!
Yes please you have my vote on synergy, and I find all this cover on WOC brill as I have this book to look at putting my first Warhammer army, as after 20 years of 40k, me and a few friend players are turning to warhammer this year.
Thanks BOW.
Swampy, you had an awfully evil look you your face when Warren started talking about Throgg…
Loved it =)
really good video again boys.
Do not forget about the Dwarf Runesmith, always had armor, but he is not like a real wizard, he can not cast spells.
All the special characters lords and hero are real though/strong , hard to kill, but love all the little special rules they come up with to personalize each one of them.
and YES to synergy video, you could do that for a lot of race/army in fantasy, it is great that the BOW team has now some fantasy players, and would love to see some videos of some armylist they would use in fantasy game, and why they use it.
What i missed in the video : you talked about upgraded video equipment and i can see it in quality of video and lights (real sharp now) but in missing some spec effect, a Picture of a hero when you mention him for the first time would look great, a stat line etc, but i am not sure it is aloud you do not want any “spacemarine” issues.
Army lists are a wierd thing to decuss because they have to be well rounded enough to take on most things and we will only be giving a one sided view on what we think is good and works well together.
I’d be interested to see more of WHFB across the board on here.
Most games I play because I like a combination of the period, fluff, or minis, with whfb the only thing I like is the actual game. Shame because i think it is a good game I just can’t get into the rest of it.
Give us more warhammer VIDZ!!
Just want to say these videos are great and as a warriors of chaos player that just bought the book and a few of the new units you guys are a doing a damn good job….Also damn you for considering non-nurgle heroes to use…your khorne and slaneesh love is tempting me.
What no tzeench wizzard lol?
You guys are looking at Scyla all wrong. He’s perfect as the General. A mere 105 points. That way you only loose 205 VPs if he is killed. He has a leadership 10 bubble. He frees up your lord(s) to be a lot more aggressive since they won’t be giving the additional 100 VPs for a slain general. Scyla -could- be placed with Dragon Ogres and gain a Look Out Sir roll too.
