Jeps, havaitsin tämän. Mutta äijä oli muovinen (tai ainakin näytti muoviselta), niin se hämäsi.
Mietin, että voiko se olla joku Special Unitti .

Strixie kirjoitti:jes, rahan säästöön, kertokaa kaikki mitä tiiätte kun oon lukenu tän topicin jo 3 kertaa ja haluisin uutta tietoo (Gnoblarien pts hinnat, monta tulee yhes boxis, boxien hinnast jne.)

I have just come back from the warhammer doubles tournament where we were given a seminar by Anthony Reynaulds (spelling wrong?) mostly about Ogre Kingdoms but also a bit about WE.

A lot of the OK stuff has already been posted on this site but I have a few extra bits of info I think are new:

1: Characters (and maybe units I'm not sure) will be able to buy Gnoblars as upgrades e.g. you could have a lucky gnoblar which gives you a reroll.

2: The is a second rare choice (as well as the scrap launcher which for the record is huge) which I think are called gorgers. These are emaciated ogres who live in caves under the mountains and eat anything. They are only released in times of war and they are attracted to the battle by the scent of blood therefore they come on later than the start.

3: Maneaters (these are the pirate and nija ogres people have seen) are ogres who have travelled the world and picked up local customs, in game they act almost like characters i.e. you can upgrade individual models to different roles.

4: One of the magic items for the ogres is a big club which hits the enemy like a stonethrower (I think this is very cool)

A few people asked questions about WE and got suprisingly large amounts of info, GW are just starting play testing with them and we were told a few cool bits of info:

1: they are definately getting their own spell law

2: They'll lose no -1 at long range but get no -1 for moving and will get bonuses for closer range (unspecified) the idea is to get WE to perform more hit and run rather than standing on the opposite table edge and shooting.

3: There will be lord, hero, core, special and rare non-elf units i.e. a lord tree spirit etc. allowing WE to take all elf, all tree sprits or a mixture of the two.

4: The models are going to be much more dynamic to look like they're jumping out of the woods for a few shots before running away.

Thats about it though if I remember anything else I'll post it on here, all the OK are 100% true (we saw pretty much all of it) and the WE stuff is true at the moment though whether they change it during play testing is anyones guess.

I apologise if most of this was already in the rumour roundup, hopefully the magic club the gnogblars as character options and some of the WE stuff is new.

Also, Yetis are going to serve as ogre 'fast' units (probably move 6" though 7" will be nice) and they can move over a lot of terrain types (they live right on the top of mountains to don't have trouble climing stuff)

And the leadbelchers will be able to move and fire but it takes a whole turn to reload as they take ages to fill up with scrap (I think this is what was said though I may have misunderstood).

And there is some really nice artwork for them.

I must say that although at first I wasn't interested in OK and a bit annoyed that they displaced WE I am now planning to play them.

Now mind you it's probably best not to put too much weight into this however I have a friend who came back from the development studio (got a good look at all of the OK models). In conversation the person he was talking to mentioned that OK were just the start to opening up the fantasy world and moving eastwards.

In Short
-Cathay is supposedly a given and will be worked upon in the near future.
-Nippon may or may not be its own army, though they may meld it in with the Cathay Army
-They are debating an East Indian based army. An Idea that's being thrown around is elephants.

Don't get your hopes up, but definitely some food for thought.

Araby- Confirmed as new army.

(Stick with it -This is a warhammer rumour!)

I saw the new range of araby miniatures this weekend for Warmaster, the guy who has them (He works for fanatic) told me a little about the future plans.

The fanatic have been given a chance to design their own army from the ground up. Usually the GW studio do this and their work is adapted by fanatic. Though with Jervis and Rick Priestly taking an active role its hardly going to be that bad is it?

Anyhow, theres going to be camel riders and characters on flying carpets. Most interestingly though they will have Djinn. They are actually greater daemons of chaos who were summoned at the equator -Where there is no chaos influence what so ever! This causes them to be weak willed and pliable so the summoners can control them (Make them grant wishes?).

the source said that a few years down the line the studio will hopefully do the adaption to make them a warhammer army and theres already a sketchbook for figures and art. (I saw a single picture which the guy had for a painting reference.)

I think the warmaster rumours must be fact: they dont make minis for nothing, we can only hope for a warhammer version soon afterwards.

Btw did you know that leadbelchers(the ogres with cannons) fire weapons from the battle field exactly like the scrap launcher(like in pirates of caribbean when they fire forks, spoons and knives on captain barbossa's ship). This mean that the will defiantly have the killing blow special rule!

And a local to me on MSN told me that the Butchers will have some form of "menu" for them in the magic weapons page, for example they can arm(or eat!) a rock to gain a spell that gives a unit 1+T. when it comes to weapons if they slay a charecter with a magic weapon they may select one of them to gain its special ability!

This is uncomfirmed but this something he heard from a local GW, so there is no idea to blame me if this does not follow in the army book when it's released.
