True. Then it would be just alternative herald

**Segersgia**

I'm betting it is atleast something for the smaller games. Either Underworlds or Kill Team.

It being an anniversary mini is also possible.

**GaroRobe**

It looks very small. Also, it has a scenic base so that makes me think Underworlds. Kill Team models don't have those kind of bases, nor do warcry. Even exclusive models typically don't, except for that sister of battle one.

**NinthMusketeer**

It does look fun, I like the character of it!

**SamusDrake**

Could Underworlds be heading into a Silver Tower?

**GaroRobe**

A Silver Tower would be the perfect setting for Underworlds. It would make more sense for bands of explorers to be there than Harrowdeep and its random whirlpools sucking warbands down to its depths.

**Geifer**

Where are we with Underworlds anyway? New season around April or May and no current warbands left to reveal/release?

Like others I could see that being it. Eyes of the Nine is old by now and Tzeentch surely has plenty of stuff left that could be stuffed into a warband. It might even be part of a Chaos all stars warband, where the sorcerer of the group has a Tzeentchian familiar.

New Herald or just something fun?

It's a daemon starfish. All fun, all games. Just don't let it get too close to clown she-elves with pointy sticks. It's not going to end well.

Yeah, the current roadmap goes to February and is completed, the next thing on it is a new season at an unspecified date:

If we're optimistic, that means that the next season is going to be previewed either at Warhammer World Open Day or Adepticon, basically around the corner. If we're slightly less optimistic, they'll wait for Warhammer Fest, but that is very probably where they'll preview WH40k 10th edition, so they'll avoid other stuff hogging too much of the spotlight.

My bet is on Adepticon in march.

**Geifer**

Thanks.

Adepticon is probably a good guess. Last year they had something for most (possibly all) specialist games. Even if they spread out announcements, they'll probably save one of the warbands in the versus box for the event.

Today's community article previews the last missing thing from the roadmap: the 'Beastbound Assault' card deck:

Kharadron and Regiments of Renown next week

**GaroRobe**

Do we have any prices on the regiments of renown? Birthdays coming up but I don't want to add the Throng to my list if it costs more than $60 (it'll probably be $80 since the two core units alone cost $55 each)

**Kanluwen**

Obligatory "we won't have prices until Monday at the earliest, and then they'll be in British and European monies" post.

Because we won't have prices until the independents get their sheets, and that's Mondays.

**H.B.M.C.**

Took quite a while to get all three of the monsters from that 3 pack they're about to put out.

Can't want to see the discount...

Patience is a virtue.

Unless GW randomly decides to pull the product for no reason and with no warning, in which case it's a curse.

Unless they suddenly bring things back in new weird box sets that are impossible to predict, in which case it's a virtue again.

Unless those box sets are limited and sell out before payday, in which case it's a curse again.

**DaveC**

Bit of variation on the RoR prices. At least WHU isn’t getting even more expensive.

**jullevi**

Norgrimms's Rune Throng combines perfectly with Start Collecting! Greywater Fastness. If you get one of each, you end up with 20 Longbeards/Hammerers, 10 Irondrakes/Ironbreakers, one Gyrocopter/Gyrobomber and three different Characters. Only duplicate unit is the one that you want to duplicate anyway.

**stahly**

Have to get the Soulblight Regiment of Renown. Getting a Corpse Cart for just 7.5 pounds extra is such a steal.

**AduroT**

Oh! These are New RoRs. I’d missed the announcement and have been just assuming it was a made to order of old stuff. Then I saw the list there and had to Google up Elthwin’s because I was curious what old thing they were shoving into Sylvaneth. Are these getting special character type rules or just new boxed sets?

**tneva82**

Rules that allow them to be included beside own army(they are mercenaries).

**DaveC**

RoR rules are out

I think we may have found a new champion in the ongoing search for the most deliberatly opaque rules writing. Fittingly, it's the Tzeentch dude:

Sparks of Profane Potential:

Thryx is adept at harnessing the mutagenic essence of
slain daemons, using them to enhance his conjured sorcerous manifestations.

Once per turn, at the end of a phase in which a Horror model in this regiment
of renown was slain while its unit was wholly within 12" of the Magister in
this regiment of renown, you can pick 1 endless spell on the battlefield that was
summoned by that Magister and remove that endless spell from play. If you
do so, that Magister can immediately automatically cast a spell they know that
summons a Disciples of Tzeentch endless spell that is different to the one removed
from play (do not make a casting roll). That spell cannot be unbound. Set up the
endless spell as described in its Summoning rules. Depending on the type of endless
spell you set up, you can immediately do one of the following:

• Burning Sigil of Tzeentch: Resolve the effect of the Radiant Transmogrification
ability as if it were the end of the movement phase.

• Tome of Eyes: Attempt to cast The Parchment Curse with the Magister in this
regiment of renown as if it were your hero phase.

• Daemonic Simulacrum: Resolve the effect of the Snapping Jaws ability as if the
endless spell had just moved.

In plain language:

Spoiler:

**AduroT**

Your plain language leaves out multiple parts of the rule.

Yeah i know, it left out a lot of the conditionals and the limiting in what effects of the endless spells you could use. It was not actually meant to accurately represent that... thing. It is not a good rule.

**tneva82**

So once per turn if pink horror dies you get to replace your endless spell. Seen worse.

Ko book leaked up. Seems less of skew army which sounds promising. Reading tomorrow.

**drbored**

For 180 points the soulblight zombies + cart regiment seems decent. -1 to ward saves within 12" of the cart could wreck some armies.

The paragraph at the bottom of the Metawatch article today said two faction tomes revealed on Saturday. The road map shows the next 2 factions are chaos. There are only 2 chaos factions left without 3rd ed. books.

**Kanluwen**

Aces, thanks!
