Storm of Magic pt2

[Coldblood666]

Apologies if I've missed this already but does the manticore kit come with both a lord and a sorcerer? Or just a chaos lord?

[Tlotsqi]

what do dwarfs get? xD

Nice finecast releases? dwarf Engineer w/ Great Weapon, Dwarf Thane w/standard, Dwarf Grudge thrower, Dwarf High King Thorgrim.

They will recruit truthsayers, and a lot of monsters, there is a new list of magic items and I think that they could use some of them...

[Mirbeau]

Seeing as it's about monsters and magic.. and dwarfs have neither,

what do dwarfs get? xD

"Hey dwarfplayers! This is an awesome cool expansion where you need to dominate magical focuspoints so you can cast more magi.... erhm... There will also be cool monsters which can be summoned by your wi..zar.. erh....."

You bearded gits will be well provided for

As an aside, I've tried to keep a running summary of key rumours going in the first post. It's a chaotic mess, but the contributions made in this thread by a large cast of members have been cracking, so there is an awful lot to keep up with!

The release of the gyrocopter in finecast in particular is a blessing, because I have heard terrible horror stories of that kit and noone ever put that kit together straight out of the box when it was in metal.

Plastic MOUNTED sorceress, the foot one is finecast

A mastercrafterd post good sir, with only to my knowledge 2 exclusions....

1. Arcane fulcrum scenery piece (a ruined floor with a magical vortex - of plastic - swirling upwards which you can place your wizard on top of.

2. The "garden of morr" scenery piece, basically a new fantasy graveyard - although I'm not 100% sure that this won't be held back until the VC wave later in the year.

I totally missed this one...

Dunno how...

Well, thanks for all the positive feedback, everyone. About the scenery: I am unaware of these. It might just be that they were not on the same list, as they are scenery, and therefor unscheduled for it or to be released a little while later. Therefor sorry at CSE for correcting him, this scenery might have passed out of my LOS (Or maybe the fact that I drooled over the Manticore...)

[Sinzaren]

I have to say I'm now getting quite buzzed about the whole SoM thing. Seems like ages since I've had something new to buy for my Dark Elves and now there's a whole host coming

Uh? no sorry, REAL dwarf players will be very happy as their slayers will get to kill kill many of those mobos

GW is stupid by the standard whineseer troll's means, but believe me. Dwarfs will not be neglected (rules wise).

[ghost of scubasteve]

i hope its something better thought out than oh you can uhhh, take this dragon too!! or uhhhhh you can hire this mercenary wizard!

Indeed, especially since dwarven fluff actually already has runic animated stone statues I'd be pretty disappointed if it's something like a hired or allied wizard to give us magic acces.

[vinny t]

Any news on possible tk goodies? I read a lot about VC, but haven't heard anything about my beloved tomb kings.

[slayer8045]

Didn't Tomb Kings just get a bunch of new stuff?

[Ouroborus]

I would really, really like to see stone constructs which are animated by runes. They would absolutely have to be sculpted right to be pulled off correctly though...

[Przemcio251]

any clue about the WOCH sorcerers will they be new sculpts or just some old one's made in finecast?

[eldargal]

If we do see Dwarven golems, I do hope they have a special rule where pigeon bombs cause panic in them.

[Przemcio251]

ohhh and one more thing there were magic cards mentioned dose this mean that all the lores that didn't have magic card released will get them???

[WarbossKurgan]

Oooohh! That got me thinking: The rulebook mentions animated Idols of Gork (or possibly Mork). I wonder if Orcs and Goblins will get that option? I'd be happy with just rules for it as I'd love to scratch build one!

(and thanks to BramGaunt, Tlotsqi and 75hastings69!)

I reckon the magic cards will be for the new spells in the Storm of Magic set. There's been rumours of 'Cataclysmic Spells', which I daresay is what these will be.

Personally, I'm a slightly miffed at the models that are being release. I'm sure they'll be great but... they're all models for Forces of Destruction, with an emphasis on Chaos and Dark Elves.
What about the forces of Order! Would really like some more finecast mages, regardless of whether they're actually new models or not.

And at the end of the battle they wander off to kill as many birds as they can?

Who needs finecast mages? Order already has PLASTIC mages. Far more than destruction has. Totally unfair!
