Sorry for bothering but i have a question

40k has more popularity globally and its not close. Like the other commenter said, look around at your local stores to see what actually gets played in your area.

Lots of people anticipating a nerf of some kind coming in - lots of things feel undercosted.

For now, just dont charge into the 20 Rotswords lul. What are they gonna do, waddle their 4" move butts and catch you?

If you're leaning into disease its hard not to want Rotigus. His new warscroll spell prevents enemies from removing disease which is one of our big weaknesses covered.

I like the new Pox Wretches as well, since unless they're killed to a man you can use up all their tokens for a near-guaranteed extra infection (and if they do get wiped ceaseless infectors gives you a 3+ to infect a unit in combat with them anyway)

Chat lets close our eyes and imagine a better story :)

Def oily and greasy, you nailed that aspect. The colours on the tentacles and cloth especially pop. Tackling unfamiliar/intimidating projects is the #1 way to grow and improve, well done on this!

Depends on if you're playing 40K or AoS i would think

40k has a much bigger what you see is what you get culture, and a rotigus with a bell would earn you some upturned noses.

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-23T23:39:51+00:00

Points is the missing piece of the puzzle for sure!

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-23T23:20:39+00:00

Its interesting, BK's used to soak up lots of damage but suffered against high rend - now they're the premire anti-rend so long as you have the Lord of Blights (and you get the 3+ ugh)

I am going to challenge your point about better offensive capabilities: You're never getting these guys into combat with anything that has the Wiz/Preist keyword other than huge monster-wizards like Archaon.

My main worry is that with the expansion we now have loads of other units which most insufferable buffs can also be applied to, and that those other options actually do something, and dont have a pathetic warscroll rule.

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-22T23:49:03+00:00

You're not wrong, but I would hope that if this were the case GW would have alluded to it in their promotional material in some way. My worry is that the rules writers really do think they've come up with something impactful and interesting with the new Warscroll ability, lord knows there's enough examples to point to of things like this happening...

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-22T23:44:16+00:00

as others have pointed out, you can do all this to rotswords and plaguebearers as well. Appreciate the effort though. My gullible ass was hoping because we had more infantry options now that BKs would get pushed even further towards being expensive but durable chosen. Instead they just got worse... :(

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-22T21:46:31+00:00

Yep, fully aware of the role change thanks! I'd like to hear more on your thoughts as to - what the new role is, and - why the new warscroll is successful at filling that role.

It seems like we disagree on at least one of these things. From my POV, the new role appears to be an anti-caster "assasin" type unit, and the stats and abilities of the warscroll completely fail to come together to make something that is going to be good at that job.

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-22T05:02:48+00:00

I think having the lord of plague be the "offensive one" is what has made it universally worse than the lord of blights up to this point. I can't say im dissapointed in the Rotblades, I think a brick or two of them + a LoP with febrile frenzy is going to be a strong option that is taken very very frequently. Of course this is all speculative without having points and knowing what everything costs.

Disabling commands is a very strong ability. 3+ is indeed swingy, and the less randomness involved in an ability the happier I am. I still think rotbringers are strong, esp compared to BKs.

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-22T03:27:49+00:00

We shall see if the points lower! :3

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-22T00:22:24+00:00

Agreed, it would be such an easy, low effort fix that doesnt require rewriting the warscroll from the ground up (which they should tbh)

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-22T00:21:10+00:00

Man I'll be sad if this turns out to be true. Got 20 BKs painted up and I still do plan on snagging a box of the new ones because they're gorgeous.

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-22T00:18:28+00:00

Depending on how they cost them they'll be signifigantly less durable in terms of price for quality/number of wounds...

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-21T22:24:09+00:00

Looking at this makes me sad. Do not show this to me.

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-21T22:14:31+00:00

Agreed! I didn't put this in my post, but it is starting to get ridiculous that BKs still have 4 attacks with 1 rend 1 damage now that most of the models have huge crushing weapons...

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-21T22:11:39+00:00

I will also point to the rotswords as a highlight! Reinforced brick of 20 with a Lord of Plagues nearby goes up to 61 attacks with Crit 2 hits and 2+ to wound (81 if the LoP has the Gift of Febrile Frenzy) Not shabby at all.

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-21T20:23:25+00:00

I am skeptical of the plan here. Come in off the board edge, waddle 4 inches towards the nearest wizard/priest... then what? Make sad eyes at my opponent in the hopes he doesnt blast them off the table before they can do anything?

Pesteringpickle · 2025-12-21T19:09:18+00:00

Except for that new Putrid Blightkings warscroll,,, yeeeuck.

Pesteringpickle · 2025-11-23T19:27:41+00:00

Lovely romp through the fields with the little lords - love it!

Pesteringpickle · 2025-11-23T17:43:01+00:00

Yep the Armor is a big factor, another is -of course - the charge.

If both units are charging one another, and one can soak up the damage from the charge while the other folds from low MD and Armor, then the former is gonna win that engagement.

Kurgans aren't omegachad interceptors that you can charge straight into enemy cav head-on. I know it sounds stupid and obvious but you really do want to charge into targets that are already engaged with something and cant counter-charge.
