Even if spawns get to be special (but atill 2-1) it would handle a lot of problems, but the biggest issue for me when playing Chaos has always been the warmachines, I want a good reliable way of removing those as quicly as possible!

Just for a bit of an update

No war mammoth (boo!)
No unridden dragon
Forsaken def included
Warriors "most certainly" getting a buff
Spearhead on 18 October - 38 models, £145 GBP (190 euros ish)

war altar suggestion still not dismissed, I'll see if I can find a confirmed list of the units in the new list and post it here.

38 models...

10 Chosen Warriors, 5 Knights, 5 Marauder Horsemen, 5 warhounds, 1 Khorne Hero on Juggernaut, 10 Cultists/strange cheap marauders/Forsaken... that leaves room for 2 heroes.

For once I might actually get the new spearhead, no ugly marauder plastics & all very useful models (except the characters, but I want those to paint them up anyway)

Awesome rumors, if that's what the Spearhead is, I'll definitely be picking one up.

Spearhead looks awesome, exactly what I was thinking of getting! Sorry for sounding sceptical but do you have a source for these conformations ukko? Taking the topic back to it's roots will Ogres, Dragon Ogres and Trolls be getting new models? I do like the current Ogres but not the Trolls. Dragon Ogres could use an update as they don't compare very well to the current Chaos Ogres.

Sure - it's Harry and Hastings on warseer, they're fairly solid sources. The thread is here
http://warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143548&page=59
but the info is scattered from about the 48th page onwards. The two lads work at GW or something because they're always right when they give early information, I wouldn't worry on that front.

As a side note, hope I didn't make it sound like the war altar's in the spearhead - just meant it had been confirmed in the book.

Those 36 warriors won't go to waste then!

I hope that sorcerer isn't nurgle specific like they've mentioned.

Now what do I use for the war alter for a while? Or maybe I should leave it until it comes out and take it to GT or Games Day...

I went back through the Warseer thread (whew... that takes a bit, even just going through the last 10-15 pages).

I'm confused about the War Altar/Alter (my spelling's not great)... maybe cause I didn't play before 6th ed.

What are people thinking it is going to do, or what did it do back in the olde days? Just read Snygge's list on the other thread about rolling for 'advancements/enhancements'. Those sound interesting too.

Back in the good old days of Realm of Chaos they were really something special. I have the books right here so I'll tell you its special abilities.

Altar may have 1 ability as a magic standard for up to 100 pts or less. As described in the Army List Introduction, War Altars give +2 leadership bonus within 12". One unit of troops may be appointed to guard the Altar - these Altar Guards are immune to psychology, instability, animosity and cannot be routed.

Hope that tells slightly about its powers.

You forgot the +1CR to all friendly units within 12".

Best part is, it was only 70 points in total!

Wow... so change that around and make them unbreakable maybe?!?! Or maybe they become like a living 'Banner of the Gods'

That would be very cool. What did various marks and banners do back in that edition?
