sounds poetic i thinks
Makes it possible to dispell but still gives the item a clear advantage
on a plus side for us a seer can now cast it on a couple of warpstone tokens when you have "no casting dice" left

May be true, but I'll believe it when I see it in print.

This would be the first time they've totally overhauled anything during a time other than a new Rulebook.

Back to retirement!

Was this really necessary?! The power scroll was good, but you did have to suffer a potentially dangerous miscast too. I am really getting sick of GW changing already published rules, especially ones which were written for 8th edition. Come on GW, leave it be and focus on getting future books right. I dont want to have to consult endless FAQ's and erratas every time I play a game...

Yes it was because the scroll on the slann was rediculus he casts some thing you can not stop then bounced the miscast onto you!

Not true, as pointed out on the linked page, Darkelves got a massive massive overhaul during 6th/7th edition to their 6th edition book, points, stats, additional items because their book was just so shoddy.

Boyz will be boyz. It isn't so difficult doin' so with so many people employed there, plus they have aaaaall day in doing so... but on the other hand, I think they're doing it on purpose. -_-

As in other planets and time, civilizations rise and fall, today they are strong, tomorrow not so. B) Right now Skaven along with Daemons are considered among the strongest. Tomorrow they'll have to swap places (with a lesser race :P ). Just an idea... :unsure:
There will come a day that vermin shall conquer all lesser races....
the only race that triumphs above all others...
the only one that has the numbers to complete the quest....
the only ones that honor the one and only deity...
hail hail hail to the Great Horned Rat! Let his power guide us and from evil protect us...

Since when did slaan get to use 2 arcane items?
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.

They don't :P

Slight oversight there I reckon.

I also agree that GW should stick to things, or better yet, attempt to balance books before they're released, not after. Oh well, we can dream, right? :P

Yes. Since the new wording apparently says it only works on the non-boosted versions of spells, it may well be that the Dreaded 13th is the only spell worth using the new scroll on.

For pretty much everything else, at 35pts the scroll just went from very good to rubbish.
True scholars have more than just one book to study.

I had it done to me before we banned the scroll so I guess it was an over sight on his part since it was early 8th edition. But non the less the scroll can be evil and magic is some thing that I don't like to think of as reliable if it really was the old world wouldn't be in the mess it is in but that's more story line base I guess.

+1

Changes at least mean they are showing an active interest in keeping things in line.
