Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I also like that there's what appears to be some Marienburger mutant pirate. Neat.
Luckily I have enough of a backlog already to paint so I should be fine.

It's always from the model, regardless of the size of unit it's in (or not).

this is as close to a fantasy online gaming system you can use. They say its for what ever games but tends to just always be fantasy games being played.

Metric heights and accuracy are nowhere to be found here.
GW is driving my friends and I into a bit of a froth over Dreadfleet. The battle report today looked awesome - orders, craziness, and lots of detail and in-game decisions to be made.
First turn action in a dreadfleet game. Seems like a pretty fun game.
Other than adjusting unit sizes upward, I'm still fielding an armies right out of 4th-7th. I suspect that's the root of the problem (that and relying on setting up redirects/flanks at the expense of aggressiveness).
I think it's probably time to dust off my Empire or build out some Ogres to reset fundamentals.
A: The Council of 13 keeps sending you defective Cannons, slaves, warriors, Grey seers etc.
or
B: Why the Horned Rat has forsaken you. In which case suicide is probably the best option.
Option B doesn't seem likely after that.
Well, the first one anyway.

Not that I mind either way, but that was a really awesome idea for the books.
Apparently, the book might be coming in January(!). Will include the rules for the Terrorgeist (and I assume the hero Wraiths and Banshees). Other rumours say there will be plastic 'flesh golems', plastic Black Coach, and apparently bringing back some old characters like Krell.
My guess is, if the rumours are accurate, is VC were hit hard by 8th edition, and it's more like the Tau Empire book. Nothing drastic, just some new units, and a few point alterations to work better in 8th edition. It's easier to release this as a quick fix to make part of the playerbase happy while they work on another big Fantasy project.
Their current projects are, according to rumour, Empire and Brettonians. They probably need some more time for one of those, so they're throwing out an updated VC army book instead of doing a heavy FAQ. Plus, it sells more army books than a FAQ would.
Apparently the Throne of Chaos book specifically mentions Vampire Bloodlines as well, rather than specific vampire powers that are in the current book.
Seems like it might not just be a 'filler' book after all. With the plastic Black Knights and plastic Flesh Golems rumours on top of this, as well as brining back the likes of Heinrich Kemmler and Krell, this could be a major release. That's really soon.

puts me at 795/800, probably take 2 more slaves to get to 799
Its small and situational, but barring some green stuff orbs and gas mask heads, I have the models on hand and can fine tune as we build up in points
edit: Two weapons teams ok at 800? I like them for the chance at massive carnage
