Maybe because of the conversion to resin/plastic? If there will be a few month gap where models are not being produced on sufficient scale to support a new army release, this could help them bridge the gap with fewer, more expensive, items that still generate excitement.

I'm guessing this will go down much like 40K's Cityfight/Cities of Death/Planetstrike expansions. Most people play a game or two and then forget about it. |

Model spotting time for the second pic! I see: Dark elf dragon, Chimera-like thing, Cockatrice, Winged nightmares with chaos riders, a new spindly Tzeentch sorcerer and possibly a new undivided one. And the four pieces of terrain from the first picture. One thing that's blatantly obvious is that Chaos, and to a lesser extent Dak elves, are getting some love. Question is, will we get anything nice? (Aside from neutral monsters like the Cockatrice and Chimera-thing). Looking at the terrain pieces, I like the Vortex and the spiral staircase - the vortex even has a ring confining it on its base that's just begging to be skryrifyed Monsters look nice too - particularly the Cockatrice.

I'm a sucker for shiny things. I want that book and those vortices, scratch that, I MUST have them Okay, so there's two new chaos sorcerers, a Dark elf sorceress and a Vampire counts necromancer. Maybe we'll get a new Warlock/Seer on foot? Also, anybody very far on making out what the spell card says? So far I've got: Ribauld's retroactive illusion. 24" range. Cast on 10+ Lore Attribute: Smoke and Mirrors (Shadow) When [name] is successfully cast choose a [something] that [something] within 24" of the caster. The Wizard [does something] Not particularly useful I know, I'll keep looking at it. And does one of those cards have a casting value of 35+ I guess we'll be ignoring the 6 dice max or combining wizards or something.

I do not think we will be ignoring those 6 dice limits. That is unless the limit is raised. I really do not want to play a game in which all that happens is one person gets a lucky roll for magic and the game is over. That is what it looks like. One does have a casting value of 35. Them again, I hope we have rules that allow multiple magic items. Just one dispel scroll means this could be really stupid. Also, I can see a power-scroll not being allowed here. Finally, what if we do not get a new lore, then we are stuffed. |

My guess is that all armies will have access to at least some of the big cataclysmic spells. You are right about the 6 dice limit though. The terrain features will probably have some effects granting bonuses of some sort. Might also get a new miscast table. Anyhow I am very much looking forward to this! |

You also use some multiple wizards in the casting of spells. The miscast table is changed, supposedly to be even worse. Its 4D6 dice a turn, which is interesting. And they may use this as an opportunity to spend some time balancing previous lores with some well written FAQ's... or not (Here's hoping for beastmen lore, scalable skaven spells and altered wording on some insta kill spells). |

Ohhhh I like that, makes me shiver a bit with anticipation of causing mass destruction! Think of the possibility of TWO Curse of the Horned Rat spells being cast in one magic phase... |

We can do that, maybe even three castings. Three grey seers that all know it. They should all have warp-stone tokens and all use 6 dice. I still think this will be a let down. |

And then you have half a grey seer and (from some random rumours I had heard) possibly some sort of giant chaos spawn rampaging through your army! Like I said, miscasts will start ripping you a new one. |

Not really. I think there will be one major flaw no one has mentioned yet. Slann with lore of life. They just cast throne of vines or have the cupped hands and you say goodbye to your wizards. There are major flaws they have not considered and before I play I want to know if they are ironed out. Actually, just one question, Does anyone know when it is coming out?

Monsters look nice too - particularly the Cockatrice.
