Warhammer: A Shelter in the Storm of Chaos

Y'now what sucks? Space Wolves had a half dozen models shown months ahead of time, and a steady stream after that.
Nonsense-talk and lies to follow:
Skaven...
Back to your Sigmar-fearing wholesomeness
... have had three models shown barely two months before supposed launch. What the fuck, GW, what the fuck.
Seeing Curse return would be awesome though. That and Crack's Call for great Slann killyness. Except for they fly now.
Raslin; you're about to catch a bunch of flak for using "daemons" and "competitive" in the same sentence. They certainly are. I haven't really seen WE under 7th, and Warriors are solidly functional. With a few exceptions, though, WFB doesn't really see super units that carry games, and if close, it's usually because they enemy didn't deal with them appropriately.
Of course, I'm sure I'd find use out of WoC bitz, and wood elves just seem cool.

You and me? We're friends.
This has actually been roughly confirmed by pretty reliable sources.
They don't actually exist, how are they supposed to have models? Get over it.
They are "fairly balanced" in that they will win against some armies and lose against some armies, and they are hard to write a truly abusive list for. There are some armies/builds that they have very little chance against, and some armies that they almost can't help but crush under their iron shod boot. As for Slaanesh, I mark my marauder cav Slaanesh every time, without exception. Giants are also fairly commonly Slaaneshi marked, but I don't play with them. The Will of Chaos rule and ld8 on most non-marauder troops is generally good enough for protecting your units from panic. Outside of those two units, it's usefulness is somewhat limited. Some people do field slaaneshi spawns so they get ASF.
What is the brouhaha with the space wolf codex, exactly? I don't usually read the nonsense on warseer, especially the 40ghey section.
Mark it zero!
No, they'll just get their stool pushed in and need insane courage anyway.
Beyond the usual "new is bad, I haet change" bullshit? Well, there is a certain psychic power in the book that forces an initiative test on anything that is touched by a 24" line, with failure == death. some people thing this is inherently over-powered and so forth, but not a singe one of them has actually used it in anger, or had it used on them yet. There are also claims that it is superior to the generic Space Marine book in every possible way, which is like saying Wood Elves are better than High elves at shooting so are therefore better than High Elves at everything.
Basically a bunch of FUD/New Codex Blues.

Character sniping was the first thing that came to mind when I heard they got this rule.

Winning at warhammer is 75% about the movement phase. O&G's animosity rule means they can lose control over their movement phase very easily. That is pretty crippling. Further, compared to the power creep of later books, O&G's units are almost universally overpriced for what they accomplish, especially their cavalry and elite infantry (blorcs & the big'uns upgrade). That's not to say that the O&G book isn't balanced internally, but is more of a condemnation of how overpowered books really started becoming throughout 7th ed.
Army Question:
I have the BfSP greenskin crew and 3 fanatics, any suggestions on what I should buy next?
But yes, some people would consider them to be relatively weak due to randomness and high per-model cost when compared to units with equivalent stats in other armies.

Do you want to stick with an all-goblin force, or do you want to include orcs?
or are we talkin http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat50030&prodId=prod840889&rootCatGameStyle= this?
I hear it can be used as a warboss?
The stegadon probably only kills two, maybe three. Worst case you lose by 4, maybe 3. I'd take that over autobroken. However, I can see how Slaanesh has limited applicability outside of facing lizards.
The only problem is, I'm still flankcharged cavalry with a single model in combat. Best I can hope for is that I delay the inevitable and have something in position to counter-flank the stega. Otherwise it's just a matter of time, cause I can't wound the fucker anyway. And yeah, writing an all comers list, slaaneshi mark on the knights is not terribly optimal. I would consider it for a list tailored to lizardmen due mainly to stegas. But I'd also bring more than 2 level 2 casters and a single dispel scroll.
