The Changes:
-All templates hit regardless of full or partial covering

-Charge is 2D6+M (movement)

-Failed Charge is a number of inches = to the highest Die Rolled

-If you charge a unit and they Flee you may elect to charge a different unit! Can only be done once I think.
-Fleeing units that move thru enemy Units or impassable terrain or an 1" must take a dangerous terrain check.

-Magic 2D6 power dice Max of 12 dice no matter what
-Each wizard rolls a D6 ea 6 adds 1 dice to the pool, Still Max 12
-Dispel Dice amount equals Highest Roll of the power dice roll Max 12
-same as power ea wizard rolls a D6 on a 6 add 1 power dice
-Ea wizard can use the max of 6 power Dice
-Fail on dice roll of 3 or less or equal can't remember for casting
-2 or more 6's irresistably cast, spell goes off but you also Miscast!!!!
-Miscasts will mess you up. The second 8th edition game i played i Miscast and rolled where you put a large blast template over the wizard and every model hit under or touched by the template takes a S10 hit. I LOST THE MAGE AND 16 OF 20 MEMBERS OF THE SQUAD!!!
-Magic is now divided up into 3or 4 Categories: Magic missle, Vortex, hex and something else?

-Shooting allowed from 2 ranks, 3 ranks if you volley but cant have moved
-Close Combat 2nd rank attacks with 1 Attack, Hordes can attack from 3rd rank (Horde = 10 or wider rank)
-TO WOUND CHART CANGED S 1 can wound S10 on roll of 6+!!!
-Must take armor save if able even if it is worse than ward save due to strength penalty, you fail youtakethe wound!!! Only 1 Save, dont know about regen haven't got that far. You only take Ward save if the Armor save is removed because of S or other means.

I haven't played WFB for some time now as our group only playes tournament-style games and I didn't want to leave my useless infantery at home. But the new edition really looks interesting and I think I'm going to dig out my old armies again.

yeah ive played a couple of games with 8th edition already and i like it, i didnt think i would at first.

And i forgot

-You can only have 1 dispel scroll in your army
-The unit that charged no longer goes first they strike at inititive order but the charging unit gets +1 to combat res. for charging

First pictures of the new models. Great addition to my old Hlgh Elf Army

I cant wait for the new starter to come out now that ive seen some of the models. Finally my High Elves get some new models

Captain Honkey...great to see you still around. How is Atlanta?

Have you guys been playing and DS lately?

So the rumors are true. Excellent. Any word on a doom wheel being in that set?

Wow! I didn't realize.

Why did Allen quit going? bummer.

I think he said that he was sick of craig

Magic 2D6 power dice Max of 12 dice no matter what
Each wizard rolls a D6 ea 6 adds 1 dice to the pool, Still Max 12


leave it alone magic was WAY OP

Yes magic is very powerful now but its also alot easier to miscast now and the miscast table is REALLY REALLY bad now theres only like 1 result that isnt to bad.


And i just found out what models come in Island of Blood


High Elves - 1 Prince on Griffon, 1 Mage, 10 Lothern Seaguard w/ full command, 10 Swordmaster w/ full command, 5 Ellyrian Reavers w/ full command.

Skaven - 1 Warlord/Hero w/ halberd and hand weapon, 1 Warlock Engineer w/ augmented weapon and pistol, 20 Clanrats w/ spears and full command, 20 clanrats w/ hand weapons, shields and full command, 2 Rat Ogres, 1 Poison Wind Mortar, 1 Warpfire-Thrower, 1 Doom-Flayer.

Wow! That sounds like a great deal. I wonder how much that would cost individually.

It would cost alot cause the normal Swordmaster and Ellyrian Reavers are metal

For those of you tempted to making "horde" sized units, Gale Force Nine now has movement trays for the Lads: http://www.gf9.com/ .
On a personal note, while my days of big unit gaming is a thing of the past, large games are something every war gamer should experience at least once in his/her gaming career. The self discipline gained from going through the MIND NUMBING drudgery of producing big units is worth the effort in & of itself. PLUS the visual display of hundreds of minis on a decent looking game board will give you fond memories good for a lifetime.
