Rumours that Daemons (40k & Fantasy) in this month's White Dwarf

This little tidbit is doing the rounds:

"So in next month's White Dwarf there is going to be a leaflet with updates for Codex Daemons and for Daemons of Chaos in Fantasy.

  • Some changes to old units, Flamers are now only S4 in Fantasy and some units have had point changes.
  • Also new units - Slannesh massive chariot (2D6 +1 impact hits) and other weird chariot thing in one kit. The other thing looks and acts kind of like a mobile meat lawnmower. This is in both games and acts like a chariot in 40K.
  • Soul Grinders are coming to Fantasy! Have T7 6 wounds and a load of upgrades for its shooting. The model (40K kit) in the White Dwarf and leaflet was on the same base as the giant goblin spider.
  • Also new models for Plague Bearers (really really nice, some have fly heads), Screamers (look similar but with lots of eyes), Flamers (similar) and Nurglings.
  • Plus a new beastman shaman."
So the September release for 40k Chaos would seem likely....or may October if box set get Sept slot.

This is a real shakeup if true. The last points change I remember is the update to Dark Elves in 6th Ed Fantasy. The Soulgrider model really doesn't fit the Warhammer universe....the defiler legs kill it for me. I wonder whether they found it in the cave behind the forest where they found the Demigryphs.

I'm taking some of this with a pinch of salt at the moment.

  1. Hrmmm.. interesting, I can only think of gleeful responses to new toys, but then.. new points costs... concerning, still they might drop the points of my Flamers!
