White Dwarf Sep 2011 new GW models

New Saurus Oldblood and Chaos Nurgle Lord - from White Dwarf September 2011 (#381)

Looking excellent ! The pics were kindly shared by Hugo from the Battle Reporter Facebook discussion group, where the Oldblood mini news is going down very well indeed.

BTW, I also post all the news on the WFB News Facebook Page so "Like" it if you want to keep up-to-date without having to visit this page to check when it was last updated.

Want to buy a fully painted Warhammer Army on eBay ?

Expertly painted "tournament winning" Lizardmen army with magnetized bases

Some lucky eBay buyer picked up this bargain the other day from the Fantasy Battle Reports hub. It goes to show that it's worth keeping an eye on those eBay auctions, especially if you have something specific in mind. Eg. you don't fancy painting your own army or you simply don't have the time.  He paid $414 for a fully painted magnetized army worth about $310 - not a bad deal !

New Lizardmen Rules FAQ pdf released by Games Workshop

FAQs (or Frequently Asked Questions) are effectively GW "house rules" on the grey areas of the army book. They offer useful guidance and help you understand the intented interpretation of the rules.

Note: FAQs are not the same as errata's. Warhammer Fantasy Battle errata's are the corrections that Games Workshop will be making to the next print of the Army List.

Games Workshop Advance Order - Lizardman Battle Standard Bearer

An excellent model in my opinion
(although I think the model would be served better with a smaller weapon or no weapon).

New Lizardmen Games Workshop articles

GW have added a whole bunch of featured articles to their site to support the Lizardmen Warhammer Army release

Covering painting, assembly, jungle scenery, tactics and a character focus on Chakax.

You can find them here:- Lizardmen Army articles (under Warhammer Armies > Lizardmen)

My personal favourite, because it allows you to really see the Stegadon model and sprue contents up close, is the Stegadon assembly walk-through:-

a brief review of the Lizardmen Army book

first thoughts on the new Warhammer Lizardmen Army book

Here's a link to a very high level summary from the 40k Bell of Lost Souls site with some nice insights into the new Stegadon options, Kroxigor/skink combined units and some of the guest reviewer's opinions - he's already written off using the Razordon ! (it sounds like fun to me)

source: belloflostsouls.blogspot.com/2009/01/review-lizardmen-armybook-first.html
(paste above text link into your browser address bar)

The writer's conclusion...

"This army book breaks with previous Lizardmen books in a major way. The new Lizardmen army is going to focus on close combat, rather then being a magic heavy army. Over all I would put the Lizardmen army in the top tier of current armies as they now have some very interesting units and a lot of combinations. I think this army will be best run by a player who can really think outside the box, and come up with some wacky combinations. One thing I really like about this army book is there are clearly many different ways to now build a Lizardmen army. From hordes of Skinks, to a wall of Stegadons, to a fearsome battle line of Saurus warriors, options abound within this newest army book."

More Lizardmen Army Book rumours

new Warhammer Lizardmen Army list - likely inclusions

These were changes noted by a reader of the the small info section for each unit. They noted that there may be additional changes and bonuses both for stats and rules.

Generic rules
Predatory fighter is gone, all saurus do indeed have a 5+ scaly skin save as base.

Slann
May cast through skink priests, you measure both distance and LOS from the priest.

The new slann powers are called disiplines and a slann may choose up to four including powers like Terror, regenerate, 3MR etc

Old blood
4+ scaly skin save, may take horned one (yup you read me right so he doesn't have stupidity and has M8)

Tiktak'to
Has a more powerful Terradon with KB
A magical mask (I'm not giving it's bonuses away just yet)
May lead a terradon unit from any table edge of your choosing (rear charge on enemy war machines anybody?).

Chakax
Very nasty, if used with TG the whole unit is unbreakable.
Has magical GW which makes all magic weapons in CC count only as mundane weapons.
Becomes even more powerful in challenges, gaining a 5+ward, re-roll failed hits and his opponant always strikes last! D:

Krok-gar
His spear has changed and hand of the gods is now a bound spell (keeping info on how the new spear rules work as a secret for the moment).

Carnosaur
Ultimate predator has been changed, it now does D3 wounds against EVERYTHING!

Skinks
Can now be ranked or skirmish.
Improved LD

COR
cheaper plus initiative boost.

Temple guard
0-1 is gone, they are now special choice.
Stubborn, if used with a Slann they become immune to pyschology.

Kroxigor
4+ Scaly skin save, I didn't read anything about a strength reduction (though it still might be there).
1 kroxigor may be put in a unit of 8 or more skinks, but does not count towards a special choice.

Terradons
Drop rocks is back but not as powerful (again keeping the full details quiet for the moment).
Is also an option for a skink chief.

Salamanders
It mentioned artillery dice and templates.
special choice.
Breath weapon: Strength 3 but -3 to AS

Razordon
Strength 4 spikes.

Banners
Huanchi is still one use only but now adds D6 to your charge range.

It's nice to see the Terradon rock dropping back and Temple Guard as a special choice should make them pretty formidable.

6 - immunity to magical attacks (possibly)

General Army book observations

  • Eternity wardern influences the TG units he joins somehow.
  • The albino Saurus has some kind of "resilient" special rule.
  • Salamanders fire using breath templates but the template is placed by artillery roll of inches from their snouts.
  • Razordons have the same statline as Salamanders(which is good) but i didn't get to read their special rules.
  • Ancient Stegadon has 6 str. but lowerd I and A by one point.
  • Carnosaur is now str. 7
  • Terradons can now drop rocks similarly to the 5 ed.
    They also have a new special rule representing the fact that they not only soar the clear sky like other flyers but also hunt under the Lustrian canopy. Becouse of that the have they can move through forest terrain with no penalty.
  • Cold-Blooded rule stays as it is now.
