"I was at that seminar in Baltimore .... first off the next book of Chaos will be called Storm of Chaos and it will indeed include the Hell cannon Chaos Dwarf War Machine. It is also supposed to include other army list variants such as an all Dwarf Slayer list with whacky things like an axe thrower and axes on chains. Chaos Dwarves are not slotted for an army book release. According to Simon Tift (the fantasy presenter) if the Hell Cannon crew look good/sell good/ and generate some further interest in Chaos Dwarves then they will certainly get slotted for a revamp. He basically said that they hate the current models and want to see if they can come up with something better, if not...then oh well...

Also the Ogre army is true. They showed only one picture of a concept sketch, in it, there was an Ogre holding a cannon. According to Simon they are going to make platic ogres to go along with this release, so all those who are not taking it serious are in for a rude suprirse. So look foreward to the new all ogre army from cathay.

Of course the worst news of all is that all these releases mean Wood Elves have been bumped yet again. The poor woodies are starting to look as if they might vanish into Athel Loren for good!"

Wenn jemand ne Uebersetzung braucht... gebt bescheid. :))

Übersetzung nicht - klingt mir mehr nach " wir haben jetzt einen potthässliche Pastik Oger sprue, den müssen wir verwurtschten, egal wie....

AUFRUF AN ALLES CHAOS SPIELER:

Rettet die Chaoszwerge - KAUFT MEHR KANONEN !!!

Wenn Chaos erst Cannonen bekommt (Und die Hellcannon klingt schon argh) Dann sind die Chaoszwerge tod. Es wuerden nur die die-hard Cchaos Dwarf fans noch modelle kaufen. Wozu auch zwerge spielen wenn Chaos nun Kannonen hat.
Es scheint als wuerde die Squat legende auch in Warhammer uebergreifen. Mal schauen was passiert. Ich bezweifele langsam ob die Chaoszwerge ueberhaupt ein Armeebuch bekommen werden.

An einem eingeständigen Armeebuch zweifle ich auch - aber als weiteres Chaosbuch ?- besser als nix denke ich. Und wenn wenigstens einige CDs rauskommen, kann man uU eine hübsche Armee zusammenschustern. Power Gaming ist damit natürlich Tür&Tor geöffnet, aber die alten CDs waren (schätze ich mal) ja auch nicht gerade eine "harmlose" Armee...

das einzige was an den Chaoszwergen momentan so schlimm ist, ist das sie die extrem hohe Moral haben. Das gekoppelt mit den vielen billigeinheiten ist extrem. MW10 gobbos?
Aber mal schauen. In den naechsten 3 Jahren passiert eh nichts mit denen .

hy!

seltsam, seltsam

ich habs von warhammer.de und die habens vom wps:

Here's some news from Games Day in Baltimore... the question was asked on whether or not the high elves will be getting a revision.

Simon Tift, who is head production at GW, said at Games Day at the Warhammer Fantasy discussion meeting that they have:

"There will be no high elf revision in the forseeable future"

This goes along with what Gav Thorpe (head warhammer fantasy for those of you who don't know) said on Druchii after releasing the dark elf revision:

"This is an anomoly in that there will not be any further revisions to any other army until at LEAST all of the other books are released"

The books will still be coming out in 2005.

There was also news on chaos dwarves (they are going to have a book and are being worked on)

And a new ogre-like race will be put out next year.

Interesting. Very interesting.

allso momentan kann man sichs also aussuchen ob sie kommen oder nicht !?! was mich allerdings verwundert, erstmals fällt mir auf das gerüchte wirklich so extrem auseinander gehen, obwohl beide gerüchte plausibel und einigermasen zuverlässig wirken (auch aufgrund der quellen)

grüsse wolfgang

Tja. Ich glaube in dem Fall ist das mit den Dwarfs so ne Sache... denn sie haben anscheinend nicht mal die Figuren angesetzt. Nur die Hellcannon. Aber mal schauen. In den naechsten paar monaten aendert sich in der Hinsicht nicht viel.

Na dann will ich auch mal ...

So I was at GT Holland. Phil Kelly gave a seminar and I even played him myself against his skaven with my own skaven. It was a great battle, and in the end it was a draw. Here are some things I got out of him and some things he said at the seminar.

Bretonnia:

-Again there will be four boxed sets, and those will be peasant archers, knights, MaA, and Pegasi knights.

- In the background they really wanted to seperate and the two different classes in Bretonnia. They wanted the peasant class look really ugly and poor, and they don't really care about the nobilty or the lady. The nobilty naturaly feels surperior the peasants and ofcourse has more repsect for the lady.

- I saw the trebuchet model which fires the remains of a church and has four peasant crew. I bet having this thing in your army isnt going to be positive for your lady's blessing.

- You will be able to characterise your heroes by means of certain virtues (?), though I'm not sure if that was the name, it could be that virtues are a seperate thing. Phil told us about a certain hero chararistic which meant that a certain hero always needed to fight alone, so he can't fight units, but he is unbreakable. Some other knightly hero may (must?) have another virtue than another hero and so you all have different super hero's in your army with very special personalities.

- Peasant archers are going to have palisades, which negate ANY kind of charging bonus. So no lance bonus, first strike or wathever. This is in my eyes VERY usefull. Imagine putting a hero in this unit and you really have some punch for something so cheap.

- Last but not least the warrior monks, who are basicly VERY big fans of Grail knights. Phil said that if a piece of armour were to fall of a Grail knight they would rever it and put it back very carefully. They basicly follow the Grail knights everywhere they go (a bit like the monk in Dragon heart)
They arn't great fighters, but they try to protect the grail knights stubbornly.

Storm of Chaos

He didn't say alot about this, except that it will be next year's summer campaign. It won't be a chaos only book, and it will have several army lists just like the EoT codex in 40k. The armies of chaos will actually be striking into the empire and the centre of the invasion will be the great siege of middemheim. I'm guessing that the Middenheim list in the new US white dwarf will be made official in Europe when in Storm of C comes. US and France probaly have to give the feedback, so the rest of the world will have a good and tested list in when SoC is here.

Chaos Dwarfs:

They will be probaly get a feature after the new army which is:

WARHAMMER ARMIES OGRE KINGDOMS

Was really a surpise for everyone I guess. These guys are from the south of the Darklands and have a bit of a Cathayan feel around them. The army obviously consists out of Ogres and a smaller race which is a crossing between snotlings and goblins called Gnoblars (this is how Phil described them, though i don't really don't now how to imagine them). The gnoblars live under the protection of the ogres and in return the gnoblars fight alongside the ogres
He showed us one model which was a Ogre king, who had wrapped a large canon around his arm. Phil told us that he was thinking about allowing the Ogre to use the canon in combat, so that the ogre could use it like a massive flail, but this might change ofcourse because the entire army is still in development by him and the team.

Kislev

The kossars look great. They have great weapons and bows. The Gryphon legion is a heavier version of the Winged lancer basicly, but they do have a special charging rule. The models themselves indeed looked heavier, and the horses had a different kind of armour. They still had feathers on their back though. You can either use the army as a whole new list or you can incorparate the new units into your Empire army. They will be released in october.

Wood elves:

About the release of the Wood elves:l all he said about is and I quote: "not in the forseeable future."

High elves:

I had a chat about them with phil during out battle. He seemed to agree that pheonix guard and white lions were problem units, but he thought archers were a good buy because they could benefit from curse of arrow attraction. I said they shouldn't be priced so high for that because you don't automicticly have the spell, but he wouldn't here any of my nagging, so I bothered him no more. He thought it was a very capable list and they were fine. The rest of the staff agreed with him, so I see little chance for the HE erreta. Sorry HE players I tried, i really did.

Dark elves.

Currently they are discussing if DE will get their new book sooner (next year) or later, but they will get one.


DE vs HE fluff fight

They don't have any plans for further evolution in HE vs DE fight in the fluff.

BoC

I take that most of you guys know enough about it already. I looked into the book. Regarding new information, all I can say the art looked AMAZING. I don't know who made it, but it was great! 2 pages even had just only art in it. The two pages showed a fight between two gors. Really it looked great. There is also a map in the books where most of the beastmen concentrations are in the warhammer world (looked really cool aswell).

Hm... Ich sag mal lieber nicht, was ich über das Thema "Erscheinungdatum Armeebuch Waldelfen" halte.

Irgendwie vergeht da einem langsam die Lust...

So, das musste mal sein...

juakim, nicht verzweifeln das ist so und sie kommen damit durch. es sind nicht soo viele die wirklich den hut draufhauen, alle anderen haben in der zwischenzeit schon eine andere armee gekauft und werden auch bei WE wieder zuschlagen...such is life...

cheers
tom

Yo, yo, da hast du wohl recht, und da kann man wohl auc nichts machen.

Stimme dir zu, bis auf den letzten Satz: Ich würd ein i wegnehmen, ein h gegen ein k austauschen und die drei Wörter noch a bisserl umstellen...

MfG, Juakim
