[stripeybag]

In this video you can tell that through the influence of Khorne, Auspex's voice is more aggressive than usual.

[Archangel]

Red Butchers being a strat instead of their unique termie model is such a baffling decision

[cassetticons]

Taking Blood Tithes straight from the Blades of Khorne in AOS is smart, it's one of the most fun mechanics in that army

[vahlok]

Ive already decided this is going to be my first Army, the combat patrol is going to be my very first 40k purchase.

[The.Orange.Wizard]

The funniest bit is that the Lord Invocatus has the fly keyword, that juggernaut got hops.

[hgen]

the video is 44:44 long
4+4 is 8
so its 8:8 long
KHORNES WANTS IT

[Lifelover]

I think it would be fitting if angron didn't have to be the Warlord. In the HH series he's constantly leaving his troops and bodyguards behind in battle because the nails drive him ever onward. I'd think it would emphasize him being a murderdemon first and a warlord second.

[PelinalDidNothingWrong]

I'm convinced these "leaks" are actually an intentional marketing move on GW's parts

[deirakos]

Jakhal's special rule (killing d3 of their own models) could also be used to generate blood tithe points if you need them in a pinch. depending how and when they can decide to kill their own dudes

[sebastian]

While I support the idea of getting rid of rules bloat (particularly all these subfaction-rules for subfactions of subfactions and 30 stratagems of which 10 are used at best), getting effectively rid of character creation seems like the wrong way of doing it. More choices here don't really make the game more complex and are a way to create unique characters that fit your personal style of play. Going from 6 to 5 I could live with, but just having 3 WL traits to chose from is fairly poor.

[Tulkash]

Leaks for the leak god! Rumors for the throne of Auspex!

[SmoughTown]

Khorne Daemonkin was one of my fave armies and I was gutted when they ceased to exist - really happy to see this sort of army getting support in the codex.

[xXWarWolfXx]

So many years I've waited for this. I hope the rules really do work out to be competitive, even if we are disappointed with the lack of units.

[Slapdab]

Thanks! These are great for keeping up with the hobby without spending a ton.

[ionceateapinecone]

The Lord of Skulls has the warp locus keyword, making it effectively a transport in the Deciples of the Red Angel list

[UnalloyedMalenia]

This is gonna be a coin toss of "who goes first wins" with melee armies.

[zombiethezerker]

Lord invocatus having fly is one the stupidest things I've ever seen I love it

[steeltywars]

FYI for anyone looking for the Red Butchers aesthetic, buy the HH Cataphractii Terminators and sub them in for CSM terminators. They may not be in the codex but you get the authentic Red Butcher look and same war gear options. You get two squads of 5 for a little more in price compared to one 5 man CSM terminator squad.

[zachethucia]

I watched the Warhammer TV battle report and took a minute to look at the WE army composition vs what's reported here. The TV report had Angron, Kharn, Lord on Juggernaut, 20 Berzerkers, 1 Rhino, 10 Jakhals, 3 Exalted Eightbound, 3 Eightbound, 5 Terminators, and 1 Landraider. If you use the points reported here that list comes out to 1900pts without any upgrades. This can be easily solved by giving every Berzerker a plasma pistol (100pts total) which evens it out to a perfect 2, 000pts. Leaked point values seem correct according the TV report.

[TheNeiven]

Name a unit Eightbound

Don't allow them to come in squads of Eight.
