If you catch them, there are a few pages from the book with rules.  Looks like some of the benefits to playing a regular FOC army is that you can reroll warlord traits, and your primary detachment has the Objective Secured (like the tyranid skyblight formation) in which objectives cannot be contested.

Got to admit that type of thing sounds pretty cool.  I'll be following closely.

Things are sounding like they'll shape up well. I think we'll have to wait and see, my money is that GW are trying to find that balance that will let us choose between the loose structure needed to get in some crazy games that a lot of people I began playing with like, and those rigid rules sets demanded by tournament players.

I have my fingers crossed, I'm hoping they find that balance, or hit close enough to make both sides of the fence happy.

Cheers,

That's exactly what I took away from the video / info / reading the little bits that were shown.

Here's hoping they pull it off!

Summoning a greater daemon that replaces the psyker seems like a real thing... 

Also, it seems like the trend of increased "funky options", and increased necessity for bookkeeping, is continuing.   Summoning any herald with 30 points' worth of options is just a huge array of possibilities.

I wonder if it's possible to summon a psychic Herald of Tzeentch which then turns around and summons another psychic Herald of Tzeentch.

I wonder if Orks will have access to this. Looted Lord of Change FTW.

Should the miserable Grot crews survive for long they will soon become deafened and have to resort to a rudimentary system of sign language. This is rarely successful as there are only so many signs a Grot can carry around with him.

That would definitely be super cool.  Both parts.

I miss daemonic chains.

It was earlier stated that everyone except tyranids would have access to Daemonology.

No it doesn't look like it. The spell uses 3 warp charge points so only a ML3 psyker can cast that. The spell says your Herald can only have 30 points worth of upgrades.. the ML3 upgrade for Tzeench Herald is 50 points.

Even if psykers can share the warp dice pool, your psykers would still be competing for the same dice in the pool.. and you'd also need to roll on the chart again so seems almost impossible/impracticable for that to happen or even be useful.

This is the first positive thing I have heard for Orks in a loooong time.

Hmmm...where is my bitx box

Yes, but you can have a ML3 guy summon a herald with the portalglyph, and then every turn you can summon demons with the ML3 guy and the portal creating a ludicrous amount of free troops.

Chase, if I were you I would start stocking up on Demons, because at the bare minimum, if you wanted to cast the summon power for 5/6 turns you will need almost 50 models.

Hmmm... It will be cool if in friendly Unbound games we see some "counts as" daemons which are converted avatars of Gork or Mork...

Or is a friendly Unbound game an oxymoron?
