More Warriors of Chaos Goodness

Or would that be Evilness??

Anyway more gleaned out of the ether of the web.

1. Confirmed marks:
Khorne = Frenzy
Nurgle = Cloud of flies (anyone in combat -1 WS, anyone shooting at them -1 BS).
Slaanesh = ItP, and characters get ASF.
Tzeentch = +1 ward save (so 6+ if you had none?) and +1 to cast if you are a wizard.

2. Any unit in army may re-roll PANIC checks.

3. Definite on the War Alter. Works similar to the Cauldron of blood. And can give a unit a roll on the chaos gifts chart per turn. It is a chariot type model.

4. Chaos Knights are base strength 4. But come standard with a sword of might, so str 5 magical. You can replace their magic sword with a lance for str 6 goodness, but lose the str 5 and magic. Cost around 40 points each. Compare that to 45 points each for chosen knights now, that are the same except these have magic weapons.

5. Marauder horsemen, Giants and Ogres may be marked.

6. Ogres have Chaos armor. Not sure if it comes standard, or you buy it.

7. Characters may have 50 points of Chaos gifts on top of their 50/100 points of magic items.

8. Gaze of the Gods Table:
Roll when Character wins a challenge (does NOT include beating champions. damn)
Character kills a large target. (I like that)
Troll regenerates 2 or more wounds.
Chosen at the beginning of the game.
War Alter 1 unit per turn to roll.

Roll 2d6:
2 = become stupid. (ok, a bad one, but not horrible and trolls laugh.)
7 = Nothing
11 = Cause Feer (read this once so not positive.)
12 = roll again twice.

3-6 and 8-10 give different benefits including stat increases.

9. Looks like the only way to have the monster horde is to take the Troll King special character. So I'm guessing trolls become core there.

10. No marauder hero as previously rumored. Thought it was too good to be true.

11. Forsaken: Move 6. Attacks D3 + 1!! Cost around 16-17 points.

12. Chosen are WS 6.

Well, there is a dozen new rumors for now. They are looking good. I'm starting to get pumped about getting my centaur army painted up now. Can't wait to get my hand on the books.

Oh yea, to go ahead and make it an even 13.

13. Spearhead release on Oct 18th.

Until next time...
