For those of you who have missed it, there seems to be a website dedicated to a Games Workshop summer campaign.
Quote:
 
Storm of Magic is released on the 9th July. The 'Scourge of the Storm' campaign commences on the 16th July. Register on games-workshop.com to enter your results. Play Warhammer like you've never played it before.

The news has hit the web at the moment and seems to create something of a buzz on various communities. The big question is obviously, who will join?

I would need far more details first. Than I would begin to consider it. i have been looking through the Archives recently and some campaigns were shall we say, a disappointment.
I have awoken, so have my pets.

My blades will be upon you soon.

Then you will be bathed in warp-fire.

Nope. GW campaigns are generally pretty terrible in that if a faction does better or worse than expected, they just make crap up.

The Storm Of Chaos debacle is a perfect example of this.

That logo looks like a M:tG set :lol:

Depends on whether I can get my army ready in time. I'm aiming to start playing when SoM is released, but I don't think I'm gonna make it. We'll see though ;)

Why U do dis?!
I will... Its basically my normal army anway.... what with too many wizards. To me, this is basically a justification of me loving the wizards hat and taking 6 wizards each game.
I am looking to get a hold of the following items, as many as possible:
The new style skulls from numerous kits (less heroic scale skulls)
Any bits of skeletons (both older skeletons and new vc skeletons)
Toppers from stormvermin banners (grey seer type skulls)

I have lots of fantasy and 40k bits to trade, including:
Imperial guard special and heavy weapons
Daemonette bits
Bits from land raiders, and chaos space marines
clanrat arm weapons
hellpit arms
Ghoul and zombie bodyparts
older metal Chaos marines

Message me if you can help.

I might break out the wood elves, their levl 1/2 wizards apparently can take lore of life, thus making the army signifcantly more useful in my eyes. 2 lvl 2s of life and a lvl 4 beasts.

Since when was this?! At the moment it's definitely only their Spellweavers (L 3&4's) that can take Life and Beasts. The Spellsingers (L 1&2's) are definitely only able to take Lore of Athel Loren.

That is unless they've updated it in the Storm of Magic book or something? In which case, I am truly ronnied if my friend's going to be able to take multiple Life wizards to the table. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if he switched to TK.

The price of the campaign book is too high for me to be interested in joining the campaign (even setting aside that prior campaigns have been largely pointless). I do like some of the terrain pieces, but doubt that I'll buy them.

I remember the Nemesis Crown Campaign... Ugh :P

I think I'll give this a pass.

@Skavendrool:
Well, as the site hasn't opened up yet, nothing about requirements for this campaign are definite yet. As the Storm of Magic is an expansion on the Warhammer Fantasy game, I don't believe it would be a requirement to purchase it, though to stay 'in theme' with the campaign could be purchased. Heck, I always see an online campaign as a good reason to play a game or two in a setting provided by the creators of the game. So, as long as your buddies wouldn't force you to buy it, I think you're pretty safe. ;)

@blader4411:
... and I actually remember the Storm of Chaos (hey, wait a minute! I see a trend here...) and Albion campaigns, so to an extent, I know what they can also be capable of. Sure, the setup of Nemesis Crown was their worst to date for online campaigns and their stance towards the online communities is to keep it at bay, but hey, if they waited four years to do another online campaign, aren't you interested to see whether they actually learn from their previous errors?

@Sketch - I am assuming the level 2s can take life in SOM cause they make a specific reference to it on the website when you look at Wood Elves under the Magic and Spells area. This will have to validated in the book once that comes out, obviously.

There was that spell allowing you to instantly Summon a Wildwood onto the board and cause 2D6 S4 hits on any unit inside it, in addition to the thing moving due to having had magic cast on it.

That's a life spell though, so I guess Wood Elves will need to take a Level 4, unless errata for Storm of Magic gives their level 2s life. Of course, if you're playing Storm of MAGIC, why would you not have at least one Lord Level caster (unless you're Dwarves :P )
