*OFFICIAL THREAD* Warhammer Realms: Lustria

[Compyraptor]

I'm not sure if I'm authorised to do this, if not then Mods please delete this thread.

Right now that Portent's having a new fresh start, I reckon we should make official threads for all upcoming projects and the like to save us from a dozen threads of the same thing popping up. So this will be the official thread for Warhammer Realms: Lustria.

To begin with a nice new image for us all taken from the GW forums. Tehenhauin, the Prophet of Sotek.

And here we shall make a list of everything we know.

New rules for jungle fighting
Two new lists: Sotek Lizardmen and Clan Pestilens
Updates for Pirazzo's Lost Legionnaires and the Skink Riders (maybe in a WD)
Scenarios detailing the Rise of Sotek
Some pics (thanks to Sgt. Keel): http://www.dysartes.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2031
More pics (thanks to Boogle): http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakka/Defa...g=posts&t=4504
The two armies require their special characters
Marco Colombo is rumoured to have a UK release with new rules

Sotek Lizardmen:
New Cold One riders
Weapon of the Old Ones - some form of stone thrower on top of a new monster (might be a conversion)
4 new Skink Chief models
Special Character: Tehenhauin
New unit: Red Crested Skinks

Clan Pestilens:
Plastic Plague Monks
Plastic Plague Censor Bearers
Plastic Rat Ogres
Plastic Pack Masters
Maybe Giant Rats
Cauldron of a Thousand Poxes
Special Character: Nurglitch on top of a giant rat creature
New Unit: Pus Bags - some form of Skaven Slaves
Rat Ogres will have frenzy and will be packmasterless

There's much much more, but I can't remember right now. I'll add more stuff as we learn and remember facts for Warhammer Realms: Lustria.

I just had a game against the Pestilens list a few days ago. It was right around 1500 points. One of the more amusing units were what my opponent refered to as "pus-bags" (not sure if its a actual name or a term he made up). Think Skavenslaves, only cheaper. Only problem is a smallish random number of them die at the end of each Skaven move phase! It was kinda amusing, we were almost betting on how many would drop!

My empire army fared ok against them, but had my opponent made one or two different decisions tactically, or if some of my flee rolls and rally checks not panned out, I think it could have been nasty.

The list seems pretty balanced. Lots of frenzy, and apparently you can have censer bearers roaming on their own, but they lose some toys too, so it's by no means unbeatable.

In all it was a lot of fun, and I look forward to getting another game in.

here's what I know:

plastic Moulder box:
I barely saw Rat-Ogres
probably giant rats
probably packmasters

plastic pestilens box:
plastic plague monks
probably enough parts to make censer bearers

the bataillon will either contain:
clanrats, Moulder, Pestilens, Eshin
OR
clanrats X 2, Moulder, Pestilens

Have you seen yet that there's gonna be almost 1 plastic box per clan. Actually, these are the 4 mainstay units (as clanrats are mainstay for Skryre). This said, I think there will be an Eshin box in the bataillon.

Also, most of you guys already saw Nurglich with 3 censer bearers and a Not-So-Plague-Lord.

I don't want to show pics here as I don't have the URLs and I don't want to overuse Portent

Sorry for HE/LM players, I play Skaven

Hey, anything that encourages army lists other than the SAD list is cool bey me.

Anyone know if these lists will be like SOC, IE legal for tournaments?

[Avian]

The problem is that they require a Special character, and so will not be tournament legal because of that (unless you, like me, ignore that restriction in your tournies).

[Rohirrim]

According to a poster on the GW boards, there is no Lost Legion, Skink Raiders, or undead pirates in the book.

Well in WD a few months back they said that there is going to be Lost Legion and Skink Raiders, altough i've always felt that Undead pirates were a long shot..

So perhaps they've dropped Lost Legion (because i've yet to see any pictures) and Skink Raiders?

[Frecus]

Erm, you trust the posters on the GW boards?

From what I could see in WD there are new plague censers, plastic monks & rat ogres for the skaven...

[boogle]

anyoine have any more info on the 'Pus Bags', they sound really cool

[nurgle_boy]

i dont know if anyones notices, but in the first picture, you can se the plastic rat ogres, and in the 3rd picture, the sprue at the bottem looks like it could be plastic giant rat sprue....

[75hastings69]

I said ages ago that plastic rat ogre were coming, and certain people (who shall not be named but know who they are ) said that it was untrue.

Also in the first picture is that the "Weapon of the Old Ones" (and could it be mounted on the back of a large plastic dinosaur as i said months ago?)

Really glad this is back up and running

So kinda like the Crom and Archaon lists, hmm? Too bad as most tournaments don't allow special characters.

Has anyone else seen the persistant rumor that that Weapon of the Gods is actually a conversion, not a new model?

[Compyraptor]

For some reason, I seem to like the new Sotek Lizardmen list more and more. And with that cool new looking monster (Acronodon or something ??) and lots of nice new Skinks I might actually start collecting the Lizardmen ( a servant of Tzeentch collecting the Creations of the Old Ones !!).

Actually in GW GT's Special characters are allowed. WHFB isn't the same as 40K where you need opponent permission.


It's been confirmed over at Dakka that the Weapon of the Gods is a conversion.

[75hastings69]

I really hope that the weapon isn't a conversion especially after the GW statement that they make rules for models and not the other way around, which seems a pretty ludicrous statement considering the recent Deamonic Legions army for SoC, so i guess chances are that it wont be a general release. Which is a shame as i'd definately have bought a few.

[SlaaneshSlave]

That photo of the Weapon of the Gods is from the newest WD in the article hyping up the forthcoming Lustria book. It is not a conversion. They wouldn't hype up a model that doesn't exist.

Tyranid Tim posted on the DakkaDakka forums that the Weapon of the Old Ones actually IS a conversion.

Despite the posting of Mr. Tim, I find it hard to believe the model GW is promoting will not be for sale.
