Rumors

Its all good news from what Ive heard. Some initiatives dropped, and gutter runners and storm vermin are much weaker, but overall the army is fine and will be better than it was under ravening hordes.

SKAVENSLAVES BABY!!! thats right, we can have more than one unit now!!!
I'll explain what Ive heard about multiple units later on, but suffice to say, that the opposition will be choking on countless slave corpses once agian.

Also, the rank bonus added to leadership STAYS!!! My greatest fear has been averted. Skaven will still be fearless, and unbreakable until they get into combat.

The new units are Night runners, skirmishing, non-scouting version of gutter-runners.

Gutter-Runners now have a tunnel ability to dig under the openent. There is some sort of scatter dice, and d6 rolling sort of thing that comes into play, but it still sounds cool.

Warlock Engineers only have one comunal spell, warp lightning. amplified by special inventions they use. They also get magic items in adition. They can all use it, but there is just that one spell.

Grey Seers get the Skaven lore. Supposedly the casting values are very high, but the spells are nizzzzzz-asty.

Ratling guns, and warp lightning cannons are supposedly ass-whiping like nothing else.

Characters can lead from the back rank.

You get to bring an eqaul number of each type of special unit to the number of clan rat units you have. Example: 1 clan rat unit, then you can bring 1 unit of rat ogres, 1 unit of plague monks, 1 unit of poined wind globadiers AND 1 unit of jezzails. This means we get many more special units than the other armies.

Basicaly, we can call it ballanced, but I see loads of complaints for oppenents who get their butts whiped by the new re-vamped and uber-powerful Skaven (Espceialy those pathetic high elves!)

But when they start bitching about it when you tell them you read this, remeber these down points to shut them up.

No normal sized skaven troop has a strength higher than 3, even stormvermin and gutter runners.

Jezails are ot good for killing monsters anymore, and no have some way of backfireing.

Slaves have a leadership of 2 (pathetic I know, but Im sure they will still be usefull.

Of Course, all war machines are very likely to explodee, catastophicaly.

And, the magic is rather prone to miscast... so you know, lots of bad stuff can still happen to us if we get greedy.

Well, thats about it right now. The book should be released on this side of the pond in about a month form today, so around March 11. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
