But the orcs already have boar riders, that doesn`t change in 2.5

What happens with the "forrest spider-creature control" unit, it goes away?

 

[mrtn]

Yes, the Forest Spider goes the way of the warg.

 

[Stormrage]

So gobbos loose their Creature ctrl unit? Now, there`s a nice spot for a squigg..

 

[Mr. Do]

Closest thing to a Warg is a large Hobgoblin Wolf called "Whargan".

Also, I would just like to point out that I did say when the Swordsman unit was being talked about months ago how there's new Empire Swordsmen models on the way, and that they look pretty damn cool so maybe it'd be an idea to wait... take a looksy: http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=14288&d=1161164335

 

[kairob]

well his looks good and they are pretty similar anyways, plus I actually profere the originals...

 

[Quinzy]

its already done, and it looks pretty much like that does anyways.

 

[Stormrage]

Well, there are some big feathers, thats for sure! I like the new minis! Also, I saw a preview of units called outriders? They had big multi-barreled guns, not suggesting them for the mod (where?) but I was hoping someone here knows a bit about them, or are they totally new?

 

[bigdog5994]

is the empire swordsman gonna replace the swordman or the greatswordsman

 

[kairob]

I hope it replaces the swordsman, and stormy, they wern't in the last eddition of the army book, so they are either really old or totally new, I personally think they are new...

 

[bigdog5994]

heres an idea maybe the swordman can act as the empires infanrty with 8/5 and the greatswordman can act as the empires shock infantry with 9/5 and a extra hp avaiable at dogs of war

 

[mrtn]

I don't like the new swordsmen minis, as the old ones are more historically correct (if you take the Empire=Germany approach).

The outriders used to be in an earlier edition. 4th or 5th.

The new swordsman will of course fill the swordsman spot.

Here is another Skaven city name, if you need it (or if you havent already got it): Cripple Peak

[bigdog5994]

lol Troll Country, i like that one.

i have one "Blood horn" or "long horn"

 

[Stormrage]

Little Big Horn

Are the names authentic or you just made them up?

 

[Mr. Do]

I believe they're all authentic, though it's hard working out proper city names for these chaos beasty civs! Gnashrak's Lair for Skaven sounds remarkably odd, but still good...

 

[Stormrage]

Mr.Do, I`m asking bigdog about his suggestions, I have no doubt mrtn found authentic names

 

[bigdog5994]

oh no i made them up storm

and heres another "troll fang"

 

[Stormrage]

The point is that they are not made up

(atleast not by non-GW staff )

I think it's a greenskin place, and the map seemed to imply that there were skaven there too.

Those names are genuine GW, though some are names of beasts and shaggoths (and skaven clans, in that list), and some are maybe people.
I added some of them to the HoC list too, as that is almost completely made up.
