New Dwarf Rumours
Posted: 4 Sep 2005, o 12:42
* Confirmed Dwarf re-release in December/Xmas/Januray- Astromarine Said many times, and confirmed now over in the Chicago GT - Bugman
* New Plastics
* Plastic Warmachines - Sounds logical given the new plastic HE bolt thrower -
* Cannon in plastic Duh! Empire already have one, this seems a no brainer
* box warriors/longbeards plastic - Logical, but why longbeards?
* thunderers and crossbowmen plastic - Logical, but thunderers?
* There will be a "Macragge" box style featuring Dwarfs and Orcs, set around Karak - Eight Peaks -Astromarine Flaming balls of goblins, if this is true, then it will date back to the one of the greatest battles i ever read in white Dwarf, it would also seem logical too, but Dwarfs as a starter army? Thats not so good, they have no magic, high toughness and little gameplay (at the moment) - Bugman
* we wont be gettin a steam tank but a "dreadnaught" - Another New warmachine? we have enough speical choisces already!
* our engineer/warmachines will be much better - Well we do have the best warmachines -
* Engineer equipment for engineers and miners - Eh? like a pickaxe? -
* 8 Different Dwarf Lord models - 8? Why do we need so many!
* no plastic slayers (but three new metal blisters) -
* special rules called "stoic", which means all dwarves count as 2 models when determining autobreak due to fear. -
* More runes, or at least more viable combinations of runes. -
* an offensive magic phase, where runesmiths cast runes on the battlefield as well as in the forge. - Forge? Offensive? Dwarf Magic? Noooooooooo!
* a new character option: the dwarf King.
* rumours of new warmachines as well.
* The manager in my local GW ... a new box set December/January
* goblin hewer is a rare option, but no doomseekers
* dwarf lords will get a throne of power option
* new plastics are definatly on the cards and he did say probably slayers. -
* indicate there are no plastic Slayers, but there will be some new metals -
* all should be out by xmas.
* he said that chaos dwarfs are definatly coming, probably around the same time as nippon/cathay.
* Longbeards to be an upgrade for regular warriors.
* Thunderers to lose move and fire for +1 to hit at long range.
* Goblin hewer to be a rare choice, and no Doomseekers will be in the new book. -
* Slayers will have 3 new blisters of models - Nasher No plastics then?
* instead of US2(unlikely) dwarfs will be immune to fear -
* There will be the 'ability' to make us go faster -
* dwarfs are probably going to get M4 to get rid of the stand and shoot aspect to some extent.
Only rumours and you know how that goes, half of it is partially true, the other half is pure crap ^^
Up to you guys to decide what is crap and what not
Oh btw, I got them from a dutch forum.. so they are scraped together from other forums... don't take them all too serious
