["Really, do come in. It's lovely in the Isles right now. Perfect time for a visit."]

The Greymarch begins anew, once in an era.
The forces of Order are amassing all across the Isles.
Deep underground, the Grummites are preparing for war.
Heretics, Zealots and Apostles are seizing the chance to leave their mark upon the Isles.
The Court of Madness stands in the middle of conflict with the help of Mazken and Aureal forces.
Choose your side and defend the Isles, or destroy them as you please.
Either way, your only hope lies deep within the heart of madness.

Rend the flesh of your foes! A mortal champion to wade through the entrails of enemies!



"Really, do come in. It's lovely in the Isles right now. Perfect time for a visit."







DESCRIPTION:


Shivering Isles - The March of Order is a M&B Warband mod which aims to recreate and expand the beautiful world of Shivering Isles, based on Bethesda's TES4: Oblivion expansion.
The mod is being developed almost from scratch and the models are being made step-by-step, avoiding the use of any of Bethesda's official game materials.

Since I'm working on this project alone, any help would be gratefully accepted further along the way (as long as it matches the quality of the mod).
I will not except any material that violates the intellectual property of Bethesda or any other company.



FEATURES:


- Detailed Shivering Isles map
- Six factions
- New enemies
- New scenes
- Fog of war
- Magic system
- Stealth system
- Modified game mechanics
- Completely new weapons and armour
- Lore-friendly soundtrack
- Integrated lore references for better immersion



CREDITS:


Will be updated upon release and included in the game files.

Release schedule looks like this:

-Rustwalkers, Admech codex - April 3rd
-Onager dunestrider (next week) - April 10th
-Eldar jetbikes, shining spears, codex - April 17th
-Whatever this thing is - April 24th

And rumored contents...

- All-new miniatures

- Round bases
- Chaos: 2 characters, one of which is exclusive, five Chaos Knights, 10 Chaos Warriors, 5 Chaos Daemons, and 1 Chaos monster of some kind
- Light: 2 characters, 10 Sacred Warriors, 10 Warriors, 5 Sacred Knights, 1 dwarf warmachine
- Light faction models look like Grail Knights

New info guys. Maybe im misunderstandig the situation, but i think that 9th edition will have 2 ways for play WH. The game coming this month is the skirmish way i think, and the rules for massive battles will come this summer. But maybe im wrong and skirmish is a complete different game, but, 2 starter sets based on fantasy after the world ends seems so strange for me...

Chaos warriors wil get new a Bloodthirster (few variants) and two new units: Wrathmongers and Skullreapers.
Archaon keeps the old model.

I like the Bloodthister model, but I'm not impressed with the new guys. I was expecting more armour to be honest.
I would have been happier if they just made proper chaos chosen/warriors for each Chaos god.

Rumours come from Darnok (Warseer), who is usually known as a reliable source.

The news look dire, and if they're true I'm most likely abandoning the ship.

Right now there isn't much to say, but they're definitely happening. 

Nurgle Endtimes release seems to be the new thing. 

I'm trying with a fresh start, summarising the things I have from a very trusted birdy. According to this source, the models released over the next weeks are:

"Glotkin" ... a named character, not a mount option for anybody, the biggest kit to be released (though not as big as a Stompa, as rumoured by others)
Nurgle (?) Chosen ... the uncertainty here is whether they are actually dedicated to Nurgle, or "only" very mutated
A new big mount ... for "multiple types of riders", but most likely to be WoC only
Named character in clampack ... no details here


The upcoming WD points to "Scions of Chaos" next week, which is most likely the first batch of these going on advance orders on the evening of October the 10th. I've been told the Chosen and the clampack character are the week #1 releases. With a bit of uncertainty: the "big mount" for week #2, and Glotkin plus book in week #3.

There is no box like the 40K "Stormclaw" one coming.

So I've been informed that the "Nurgle Blightkings" are infact the unit previously running as "Nurgle Chosen". And the clampack character seems to run by the name Gutrot Spume...

Blight knights and Gutrot Spume:
http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2014/10/wfb40k-end-times-chaos-week-1-arrive.html

Maggoth lord:

Hey, I'm not a 40K person only, I can also give some info for WFB from time to time!

What the background in the WD tell us:
- I hope you didn't like Kislev, because there is no longer a Kislev.
- Archaon advance have been stalled by Vlad under the order of Nagash (the Empire was in major trouble).
- Nagash goes fighting to unite the Tomb Kings and VC (one of the scenario pictured in WD translate into "the Fall of Settra").

Regarding miniatures/rules:
- Nagash is magnificent, and very very tall thanks to his flying posture (he is supported by a bunch of souls).
- But he's not that massive overall, I have no idea how he managed to reach the 85€ pricetag.
- Not a dual kit.
- No other models that week, but the ones serving under him are hinted at the end of WD for the week after (so I suppose Vlad and that Arkhan dude, note that I know the WFB lore very poorly).
- As people expected, the new magic lore appear to work like Demonology for 40k (except with undead).
- Rules are changing with that extension, 50% lords for example.

Ok ladies and gents this is what I have heard.

The end times will be coming after grey knights which means they will be going up for pre order 23rd, there will be Nagash, Nagash end times campaign book, plastic spirit host, Mannfred and nightgheist / Arkhan the black / Neferata on some undead monster plastic kit.

There will be a battle report in WD, Nagash vs Tomb kings army, Nagash fights them on his own. He is very expensive.
He can be taken in any undead army. Undead are running rampant through the warhammer world and because of this undead units can be taken in any army.

Enjoy.

And new models:

Pro Gloria is in the process of making multi-part plastic Landsknechte box.
Judging by the looks it will work well both with historical tabletop games or as an alternative for WHF Empire state troopers.
The sculptor is Michael Anderson (Great Swords, Island of Blood, and some other GW models).

Well guys here are some three ups:










A word on contents of the set for the company:

Thank you guys!

@Silver Wolf: I can't give any detail about the price (but in the region between 16€ - 20€). But I can tell you something about the content of the box
It will include 24 miniatures. 2 x 10-men frame plus 2 x 2-men command frame. In the rank and file frame you will have options to 20 - 30 different heads, including soem spare hats and feathers. There will be arm pairs for front and second rank pikes. if all goes well (this means, that there is enough spare room n the frame!) there will be options for all soldiers on swords and bucklers, spears and maybe some single great swords for first ranks.
The command frame will include one full Maximilian Style armour and one half-armour. Options beside standard bearers and different instruments for musicians will be given as well as options on maces, warhammers, axes, swords and great swords. Also some single arms for command poses and pointing etc.

In the set will be a rather small leaflet (around 20 pages) full of historical background, assembling guides and painting guides. On a single sheet made of light paper, there will be some flags (around 4 - 8 different ones for germans, swiss, french and italians).

No bases will be included as I find that most gamers do bin their bases or do not use them at all. So I can leave them away and keep the price a bit down in that way.

The first wave is here.

Army book 39
Ancient Treeman 50
Araloth Hero 17,5
Magic cards 6
(Price in Euros, probably)

Spoiler

Info: Durthru [WS7 S6 T6 W6 A6] is a SC his rules are pretty solid he has single 2D6 shooting attack at S2 2D6 hits (the old Treeman shooting rule I'm assuming) or he can nominate a enemy single enemy model and force a I test if failed; D6 Wounds no AS. He's very well painted sword and is featured prominently on the cover.

A combo kit for Eternal Guard or whatever their name would be) -they look similar to all the new elf Shadowarrior/Sisters kits with their legs and armor -they have hoods on and halberds/scythes instead.

There's another SC that has the Stubborn Special Rule and 5 attacks as well as when he's a alone he is Unbreakable. He has some magic items that are niche but some are clinical as well. For Example his "shooting attack": at the start of your turn nominate a single enemy model within 18in', they take a S4 hit. If the wound is unsaved and the to wound roll was a 6 they lose -5 WS and I for the rest of the game.

Additionally Forest Spirit gives: +6 Ward Save, ITP, Magical shooting and close combat attacks.

All Woodies have ASF -confirmed.

Stag riders will probably be included in the next release, since there was a leaked army book illustration which was showing them and was subsequently removed.

Pre-release date of March 29th, and release of April 5th.

Do it ! Do it naaauuu!!!

You got: PB&J
You know what goes together even better than peanut butter and jelly? You and LIFE, you handsome devil.

It's supposed to be "an open-ended zombie-infested sandbox".

And it looks quite interesting.
I've downloaded it, but I haven't tried it yet (and won't as I'll be too busy next few weeks).
So if anyone tried it, I'd like to hear your impressions. 

AoW is currently making Dark elves.








Even though their characters usually cost the same as most GW characters, their units are more detailed and cheaper.

So if they put a nice price on those Witch elves, they're definitely going to kick out some of GW's teeth.
And that probably won't be hard since GW's Witch elves cost a small fortune for a box of 10.

Rumoured models:

OrcCrusher / Tunneler (combo kit)
Runic Anvil / War Altar (combo box)
Gyrocopter Squadron Box
Thunderers / Crossbowmen / Dwarf Warriors Box (10)
Hammerers / Ironbreaker Box
Slayers / Brotherhood of Grimmir Box
Longbeards / Rangers Box

There is a guy called Maelström who is the one that brings the rumours, dunno from where. He speaks about some changes in the dwarfs army play system.

- There will be more magic activity and movement than before (something everybody expect).
- The runes system is going to be like now but with some changes in the "laws". Some of them are going to reduce their point cost and there will be less options. Basically are going to be created magic items, some people speak about add runes into already existing magic items from rulebook... with some blacksmith skill...
- Runelords will have some changes, they will have innate spells (like empire warrior priests). And the anvil will make those spells stronger.
- Rune combos in warmachines are going to suffer nerfs. There will be a cost point reduction but also the destruction capacity will be decreased (except for the organ cannon, that will become a nightmare...)
- Points cost reduction in infantry.
- They speak about robot/rock golems similars to Blackrock Deeps in world of warcraft:

P.D: sorry for my english, if you don't understand something just tell me and I will try to explain it other way or better...

However this guy Maelström has low credibility.
Take these rumors with a shovel of salt.

Pretty solid rumours.

From 40K Radio's Facebook page:

NEW RUMORS for Warhammer Fantasy! My "source" has sent me pictures of the new Dark Elf release. The Dark Elves will be out in October with a slew of new models:

1) NEW Plastic Dark Elf Warrior Box(Makes Spearmen, swordsmen, & crossbowmen)
2) NEW PLastic Dark Riders/Warlocks
3) NEW Plastic Blackguard/Executioners
4) NEW Plastic Coldone Chariot/Scroungerunner(Pulled by horses)
5) NEW Plastic Cauldron of Blood/Blood Throne(This model is AMAZING)
6) NEW Plastic Hydra/Kraken
7) NEW Plastic Witch Elf box

This will be a huge release and the Dark Elves will be the best looking Fantasy army, IMHO. These models are breathe taking and Dark Elf fans will have their minds blown!

-The Kraken has 5 heads/fanged maws. The have spines and scales with smooth neck and belly flesh. Scales are painted a Dark Grey with the softer flesh painted blue. Looks awesome.
-The pictures we have of the Witch Elves has them with two hand weapons.
-Black Guard look very stalwart with large halberds and high helms with 3 spikes on each side with a flowing plume on top. Their armor is black trimmed in gold and they have dark purple cloaks. The unit champion is holding a sword by the hilt with the blade planted in the ground. Musician is a drummer.
-The executioners have what look like skull helms, and their armor is a brighter silver than the Black Guard. Their tunics are red in color and the Draiches are all held on the left hand side of their bodies (their left our right). They look very cool ranked up.

The Dark Riders are very cool looking. Sleek looking horses with only a bit of armor. All of the Riders are hunched over in the saddle to give the illusion of speeding fast cav. The helmets appear to be open faced and they are armed with spears in the picture I have, once again that doesn't mean they wont get crossbows (in the pictures we have they are in the back ground behind the Warlocks). The Kraken doesn't have tentacles, it has four legs with webbed appendages ending in claws and it also has a tail. The Cauldron of Blood/Blood Throne look very cool. If you are a fan of the newer larger models GW has been putting out for WHFB you will really dig it. It is a bit toned down compared to the Empire Celestial Hurricanum/Luminark of Hysh and has blades and hooks on it to make it very sinister and Dark Elf. I also want to say thanks for such the warm welcome. I am glad that you guys are fired up for this release. As soon as more info becomes available to us I will share it on our Facebook and post here too. I will continue to answer questions about the models to the best of my ability and thank you for being very understanding as to why we cant release the pictures sent to us. You guys are awesome!

GW is on a gaming spree!

I have no idea why they never made an expansion for the already released Space Marine FPS game (which was awesome by the way).
This one seems to be turn based, though. Like the original space hulk.

Your thoughts?

Have you seen my sweetroll?

It looks like this:


It was wearing white vanilla and cream cheese frosting the last time I saw it.

Please help me to find it. I am horribly worried.
And wonderfully hungry.

This is all horribly wonderful for me.
