[droofus]

GW has updated or clarified many armybook rules to interact with 8th edition. Check 'em out here

Nothing surprising on the High Elf front.

WE: Three Treemen! Hell yes!
however: They took away flying Cavalry. Aaaaand Waywatcher's better deployment (What are the new rules on deploying scouts, anyway?)?

Good bye Dogs of War....

[phoenix]

Dwarfs: Big changes. No more Rune of Stoicism, Rune of the Furnace is downgraded, Thorek gets better (?) However, with the Anvil's change to "war Machine" I sense there may be some significant changes which result. What is the default rule now on the I value of models with no I value, i.e. war machines? Pit of shades on the Anvil?

Aren't Treemen 200 points? So no 3 for you unless one is a lord choice.

[phoenix]

285, so not even two of them unless it's 2280 points or higher - but then you can also get a Treeman Ancient in addition! given how expensive Dragons are, I think lots of people will want to play higher point games now...

[Sterling Archer]

Only me and drew really. I was the on that always threw in a dragon. Which I can still do at 2k lol. Alvie not as good as I used to lol

[ross]

the anvil has always been a war machine

Thanks for the heads up Drew. I am psyched for my Tomb Kings because of the removal of the chariot instant death rule for strength 7 and above, the ability to use indirect fire with the skull catapults, the extra ranks for shooting and close combat for my squishy skeletons, and the ability to take more liche priests to keep my units regenerating...

What does the dwarf lord on shield bearers count as for unit types?

and rune lords/priests still generate their dispell dice as normal.

I think mounted units with hand weapon and shield get a parry save too. what are your opinions?
