Hier mal eine Zusammenfassung nachdem GD UK:
Well, with the Book drawing ever closer, i suppose i should try to collerate what people believe they have read from the book. Rather then Group it into rumours like above, its easier to put it under headings:
Chacters - General
* Shieldbearers give +2 save, two extra Str4 WS5 I3 attacks (which can't be affected by the character's runes) and he counts as a single US3 model. However, he doesn't count as any larger than the rest of the unit for targeting purposes, and still benefits from Look Out Sir rolls. IIRC, it was 20 or 30pts, but I'm not certain.
* Special Characters are Thorgrim Grudgebearer (on a much larger and much more impressive Throne of Power than the old version), Josef Bugman, and the Runelord Thorek Ironbrow.
* The two characters are Thorek and the High King on throne of power (LOVELY model), the high king has 7 wounds and is abt 7-800 points
Chacters - Lords
* oathstones for lords and thanes (adds magic resistance and more to your unit!)
* The widely reported 'grudgestones' are actually called 'oathstones' and cost 30 points for a lord or 20 points for a thane. The character with one cannot leave the unit he is assigned to, at any point he can put his stone down and stand on it in the middle of the unit, the unit then has no flanks and cannot move unless it flees. The character will then always issue a challenge and will always accept one if he can.
* Lords can now ride on shields, I cant remember how many points they cos but they give him an extra 2 WS5 S4 attacks and +2 to the armour save (to a 1+ max)
Characters - Engineer
* Master Engineer improved stats
* As for Engineers, yes Engineers are now upgrades like O&G bullies. Bolt Throwers get to re-roll the to hit dice using engineer's BS and may also re-roll misfire results if I recall. Master Engineers (Hero Choices) Upgrade Cannons from D3 to D6 wounds. Something else which I cannot recall and as said before make 1 war machine they join extra defended.
* Dwarf Master Engineers can fortify the warmachine they're with, preventing him from leaving it, but making it count as in hard cover and behind a defended obstacle, in addition to the regular Engineer rules. Engineers are a champion-style upgrade for artillery crews, with BS4, re-roll artillery dice with cannons/stonethrowers.
The Anvil, and Runesmiths
* Firstly, the Anvil has now become a warmachine and as such, none of it's affects are spells. You simply roll the dice, choose if you want normal (2+ to work) or Ancient power (4+ to work) and if successful it works. If you fail as said the result is a misfire, I cannot remember exactly what happens but I know there are only three possibilities on the chart and a 1 or 2 is destroyed killing the Runelord and the guards. Secondly I believe none of the anvil's powers save the magic missle one has a range.
* Runelords now give 2 DD (w00t). The anvil no longer casts normal spells. Now, once per turn (in magic phase I think) you can use one of three abilities, they work on a 2+, or on a 4+ if you use the more powerful version of each. Ok, the three spells, hmm, one is to move a unit a standard move (3 inches), the more powerful version is to move D3(i think) units 3 inches. Another spell is D6 S4 hits and the more powerful version is 2D6 S4 hits omn D3 units (I think). I cant remember the third right now If you fail to cast these 'spells' (ie you roll a 1 on an easy version or a 1-3 on the ahrd version)then you roll a D6, on a 1 the anil and crew are destroyed, on a 2-3 it cant do anything this turn or next, on a 4-6 it just does nothing that turn.
* Runesmiths still give one dispel dice. Runelords give two, and an Anvil of Doom gives an extra dispel dice.
Troops - Miners
* As for Dwarf Miners, yes they are no longer 0-1 I believe and yes they do now deploy similar to Tunnelling teams and YES you can use the Anvil's movement on them as well. New rules for miners as well. Can now be equipped wiht Demo Charges. When charged may stand and shoot, causing D6 Strength 6 Flaming attacks. There is another factor to this I am unsure of. Secondly, the Miner champion may purchase a "Steam Drill." This ups the Great Weapons affect from +2 Strength to +3 Strength, there is also something else to do with it in helping them tunnel but I cannot remember.
* Miners are now special, no longer 0-1, still arrive as they do now, are 11 points, the champions have (or can buy, I forget) 'steam-hammers' which allow them to re-roll the arrving roll and are GWs only with +3S. The unit also has (or can buy, I forget) bombs, which are D6 shots for stand and shoot at S6. I like this change.
* Miners - now Special, Underground Advance is unchanged. Champion can be equipped with a Steam-powered Rockdrill for +25pts, which is Str+3, strikes last, and allows the unit to reroll when they turn up with Underground Advance. As standard, they can throw explosive charges at charging enemies - no roll to hit, with a nominal 4" range, and the unit causes 1d6 Strength 6, flaming hits.
Rangers
* As for Rangers, Ranger I know for sure are not 0-1 anymore and any unit that has a Great Weapon maybe upgraded to Rangers from what I read. Yes, ANY unit as long as they have great weapons, appart from Slayer Weapons.
Troops - Longbeards
* Longbeards Grumble has changed to any Non-fleeing unit within 6" of them may re-roll failed Panic Tests.
* Longbeards are now a 3 point upgrade for warriors (which are now 8 points basic) and they still have immune to panic, they also allow units with at least 1 model within 6 of them to re-roll panic tests (possibly also fear and terror, I forget).
* The basic Longbeards upgrade is limited like the Scouts are for Wood Elves - you can't have more units of longbeards than you have regular Clansmen. If you take a Dwarf Lord as your general, then this limit is increased (due to the Royal Blood special rule), so you can take one more unit of them
* Longbeards than Clansmen. They're still Immune to Panic, and now allow Dwarf units within 6" to reroll Panic, Fear and Terror checks.
Troops - Hammers
* Hammers are now ALWAYS stubborn and if a Lord joins them become immune to Fear and Terror too.
Runes
* Also they have some new runes but I can only remember 3, the main 3 that appealed/caught my eyes. Master Rune for weapons makes any wound suffered from the weapon turn into D6 wounds.Rune that can be inscribed on Great Weapons. Makes the Great weapon keep it's abilities even if inscribed with further runes. This is not a master run.
* rune for standards that I cannot remember is master or not. Once per a game the unit with this rune may choose to roll only ONE dice for a break test.
* There is a banner that allows you once per game to take a break test on 1D6!
* Master Rune of Kragg the Grim: 20pts, allows a Great Weapon to retain it's +2 strength and strike last abilities, even when other runes are applied.
* Rune of Preservation (Armour Rune): immune to poison and killing blow
Warmachines
* A tank.Yes, a tank, crewed by dwarfs with a little turret and driver etc. Could this be a forgeworld extra? Maybe a chapter approved? Maybe a secret addition to the dwarf list? Who knows, but jibbering aside, pics will appear.
* War machine crew are now stubborn when the machine has not been destroyed, engineers are a 15 point upgrade to war machines.
* Organ Gun increased range
* Crew additions (Unsure what this means, I don't have the pics yet, they are in transit)
* The Gyrocopter (spelling?) also got a slight change. Now has Unit Strength 3 and 2 str 4 attacks.
Other Bits
* Dwarf Handguns - Range 24", Str4, Armour Piercing, Move or Fire, +1 to hit. The Thunderer/Quarreller (the new term for Crossbowdwarfs) sprue looks very nice as well.
* Slayers now come with Slayer Axes, which count as either great weapons or two-handed weapons, though it looked like the Slayer rule was worded in such a way as to mean that increasing your strength to match enemy toughness was done after modifications for weapons. They're still Special Choices, but are no longer 0-1.
