Master Demonologist – Felguard (Demonology) - Now increases all damage by 1/2/3/4/5%, and reduces all damage done to you by 1/2/3/4/5%. Nice and easy this one. You are probably already aware as this was revealed in the Sunday preview on May 15th 2022 Loyalty, Training Points and the hunter Beast Training button no longer exist. Hunter pets can now learn all skills at their level. They will get new ranks automatically as they gain levels. Improved Seal of the Crusader (Retribution) renamed Heart of the Crusader and the effects now apply to all Judgement spells. New Character Models - All the vanilla WoW races (Humans, Gnomes, Dwarves, Night Elves, Orcs, Trolls, Tauren, and Undead) received a model overhaul, increasing their model textures while retaining much of the original feel for the races. Draenei and Blood Elves would also receive overhauls later in WoD.

The Darkoath Savagers are big, burly girls and boys – rough, tough close-combat specialists who love to stand up to their foe in single combat and give them a good battering. This set contains 10 customisable miniatures, as well as 12 fighter cards, eight ability cards, and two wound divider cards. It’s everything you need to begin your own clan of barbarian raiders.

There is just so much to love about this new set. The value here is going to be massive, with both armies getting a huge influx of models in exactly the way each army needs them. For the Sylvaneth, having a new hero, a new set of archers, the Kurnoth Hunters and a Spirit of Durthu (a huge, hulking tree monster) gives the heft and fighting power you need to round out a force of fighting vegetation. For the Skaven, along with the new Deathmaster and the massive Grey Seer on Screaming Bell, you also just get a TON of rats. What I love about this box most of all is the pairing of these two armies. I've always thought that Skaven and Sylvaneth would make wonderful mortal enemies, and seeing them pitted against each other in these fun, inventive Battleplans is a real treat. All in all, I can't recommend Warhammer Echoes of Doom highly enough for anyone interested in either army. The Lady of Vines in all her painted glory. Image: Games Workshop Should I Buy Warhammer Echoes of Doom? Deterrence (Survival): Cooldown reduced to 3 minutes, and now also increases your chance to resist spells by 60%. Now has a new spell effect. Trap Mastery (Survival) is now an 11-point talent and has been moved from tier 3 to tier 9 and increases the duration by 30% fo both Freezing Trap and Frost Trap. Blessing of Freedom renamed Hand of Freedom. Only one Hand spell can be on the target per paladin at any one time. Now costs 6% of base mana. At 170 points I think he’s probably just a bit too expensive. He might gel better in the new book though, Games Workshop articulated in the recent preview they see Skaven as a high risk, high reward army so the wide damage range might fit in just fine. It’s also going to depend on how subfaction affinity is going to work in the upcoming book. Clanrats

Finally, we have a a raft of gaming accessories, including tokens, warscroll cards, instructions and bases. On this day, PTR testing for the Cataclysm's Caverns of Time instances started, with a major focus on the Well of Eternity instance,

Stormvermin

Dual Wield Specialization will now increase the chance to hit while dual wielding by an additional 1/2/3%.

Shaman: The tooltip for Maelstrom Weapon is currently incorrect. Lavaburst will no longer gain any benefit from any rank of Maelstrom Weapon. Master Demonologist – Imp (Demonology) - Now increases Fire damage by 1/2/3/4/5%, and critical hit chance with Fire spells by 1/2/3/4/5%.

AoS Echoes of Doom Sylvaneth vs Skaven Box Revealed!

This 11-piece plastic kit builds one Reductus Saboteur, who can be assembled with scarred head or one with a pair of goggles, and one separate pile of explosives. It’s supplied with 1x 32mm round base and 1x 25mm round base. Refusing to get into anything close to a fair fight, Deathmasters lurk within teeming throngs of Clanrats or Stormvermin as Hidden Killers, leaping out when the foe is distracted and lashing out with a flurry of throwing stars and savage stabs. Frost Warding now increases armor and resistances of Frost/Ice Armor by 25/50%, now gives Frost Ward and Fire Ward a 15/30% chance to negate damage caused and restore mana equal to damage caused by the warded spell.

The box contains a solid assortment of minis for both sides, though it has been pointed out and fairly so that the Sylvaneth side wins out here. Its more elite, has far more points, and gets 2 new units (One character and a unit of 5) as opposed to the Skaven’s one character. The box is still a solid foundation for new Skaven players, with the Stormvermin and Clan Rats you need, along with a Gray Seer and the new Deathmaster to start building up your leader. Skaven Clanrats Shadowfury (Destruction) - Can now be cast while moving. Stun duration increased to 3 seconds, up from 2. Sneaky Skaven assassins have been around for a very long time, but this is the first time we’ve seen one in plastic. As you can see, it’s been updated with some very Warhammer Age of Sigmar-looking terrain while maintaining that classic Skaven look, including having a weaponised tail! Fleet Footed (Assassination) now reduces duration of movement impairing effects by 25/50% rather than increasing resist chance. Druid: The tooltip for Predatory Instincts is currently incorrect. This no longer works on Bear Form or Dire Bear Form and now reduces damage by 10/20/30%. Rank 2 is currently not reducing AoE damage properly.

The Spirit of Durthu

This set comprises 108 plastic components, and is supplied with 3x Citadel 32mm Round Bases and 7x Citadel 28.5mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly Molten Shields now gives Fire Ward and Frost Ward spells a 15/30% chance to reflect the warded spell.
