So, Ive just started painting again after a long break due to work. Currently working my way through 50 statetroops,steamtank and some scenery. Pictures will hopefully come when I got the time to take them!
Anyway; I got my hands on the VC book a couple of days ago, and to all fairness its a good book! Both for competative play and casual.
some highlights: Zombies and Skeletons are again usefull. their cheaper, zombies go an increased statline and thwy can pursue.
the etheral addition og hexwraiths are good. Magic is tuned down, but everything is cheaper so it isn't that nessesary and loads of monsters.
To cope it down; Im guessing a bog standard tourney list (after some etc ruling) will consist of 3-4 big blocks of skellies/zombies, vampire, 2x necromancers, 2x hexwraiths 2x batswarms(yea these are good ) mortis engine, 1 or 2 corpsecarts 2x1 spirithosts. Fill in with either knights or monsters and you are set to go. My bet would be blackknights. toss in the +1A boundspell, place the raisers behind the units and basicly rape your way through the enemy with ASF, 0/5/10 rased knights a turn with 10/15 KB attacks each. Bulletproof plan!
So onto Empire release in Q2/3 depending on if they do it like VC or just bangs everything in one big wave.
Rumors has it that this is in:
- Nuln cannon that fires the smal/big template as a cannon ball.(quite nasty if its true)
- New waraltar kit coped with the cannon.(finaly)
- Focus on the Gods with several units and heroes of the different Gods(like marks for WoC? didnt get any answer on that one tho but could seem like it unless we get 20 hero choices, which we dont need)
- griffon riders and inner circle knights(by God give the inner circle knights 2 A, they are the finest of the finest and fluff whise and rule whise they deserve it)
- War Wagon(i dont like it still so care )
- hafling/dwarfs suplements
Now the things on the list from 4th ED will not all be included ive heard. so thats more of a speculation on what comes and goes. I doubt dwarfs would be in tbh.
After that its woc from what ive heard. And with 6ed in 40k comming aswell this turns out to be a busy year for me !
