Its happening

Can we get a 'yet' in this sentence?

Also, swag.

Daemonnettes. Chaos need tits.

Expect a reworked version of Lugganath Glacier and and a new 2v2 map (well not new, it was the first map I made), Minethera Outpost.

You are the reason why there will be no forgiveness for us.

In all seriousness, what role would Daemonettes fill in the army? It's not like Chaos lacks in mobile melee with all the Khorne-dedicated units it has.

Here's hoping Fire Dragons are nerfed so they're not the only unit in the entire game immune to every single form of knockback

I hope that Dark Reapers will be reworked, because they are absolutely awful right now - who need DR when you can buy FD(cheaper anti-all over-buffed unit). Also hoping for rework on FD(more active abilities, less insane passives) and Wraithguard - slowest in whole game, FoM-unit with 50% accuracy, wind up 1.25 and wind down 2.25... sometimes when i'm playing eldar I feel that I'm a kind of a masochist...

You're a good man Cael. I'll be around if/when you need me.

We can be sure Caeltos has taken notice of the Fire Dragon postings and might take them into consideration. We can not ask fore more.

Well, i hope WG wont get a speed buff. Actually i will be happy if they ll be reverted to what they was before FoM patch.

Tau is underway ??!

Omg looking over those notes this is the best patch yet

Gratz.

Praise be to Caeltos, chosen of the Emperor.

I couldn't catch the live aciton, where can I find the cast or at least the information?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (u know that everything gets stuck in BC if trying to get near him, right? Entire army will get stuck in his butt and move even slower than speed 4 if he isnt moved away after casting WaTH or casts it and runs away cuz of some reason bro captain can get stuck in units that are moving behind him. Will that mean he at least gonna get speed 4.5?)

I'd say 8/10. Could be 10 if not for the BC speed

WATH not increasing his speed anymore is good. He's already a fat tank barreling towards you in T1 with a starting ability that increases his speed AND a melee charge, he really doesn't need both.

*SCREAMS LIKE A RABID FAN GIRL*

GK is about to become very interesting next patch, my heart is pumping fast.

Awesome!

It sure looks great on paper but how it will work:
-BC running back from base to help pushing forces? Neva. It would take a few minutes for him to get to combat
-Speeding up your army for a bit more mobility? Entire army moves with speed about 3.5 and with 15/25% damage resist. Or leave ur BC behind. Good luck in early engagements without your buffs, bullet sponge, only melee unit u have and most damage guy in t2 onwards that u spent 35-95 power on
-Wanna bully enemy ranged units with BC? Get shot upon when charging, get shot upon when enemy units steps back, get kited, ???, win?
-Wanna chase enemy unit that has low hp left? Enjoy your 3.75 dps storm bolter vs retreating units. mb u'll get two shots in
-Fighting eldar? Just leave BC in ranged stance

Well, it might look good on paper but after maining GK thats how i see it:
-Force sword becomes "remove BC from next fight" button or "give yourself 25% damage resist" if u dont have insane keeping BC away from your army micro
-Ability to kite BC with every unit in the game except wraithguard which means BC will have 1 purpose from now on: run around not letting suppression team set up.
-Halberd+teleporter becoming the only way to make BC do something
-Every single high ranged damage builds combined with good micro player will teabag GK to death in t1 because BC is the only melee unit in t1 and will be the only one charging forward probably, which means he will be the only one shot upon and get focused down really quickly and wouldnt probably even get into melee combat. I cant imagine how GK would deal with set up team or sniper spam without fast BC. Even GLs would knock back them not for long enough time for BC to get in, which means BC will eat at least 1 volley which is very painful considering BC is the only one running forward and taking all the fire from one army

Looking interesting. Some thoughts so far:

Sad to see T1 Rhino go, only cause it was so unique. Perhaps it is just un-balanceable for GK though, so losing it to get Purgs back is fine.
I weirdly don't like T2 Rhino reinforcing. The lack of reinforcement in T2 is one of the things that made GK unique. Maybe an out-of-combat heal aura instead? Or making the renforcement an upgrade, potentially mutually exclusicve with weapons?
Aegis as is in T2 will be quite weak, it'll already have missed the time that regen is strong.
Ops need more nerfs still I think.
Warrior Acolyte T1 squad plz!
Glad to see a new SS weapon, will need to see more info on it to get a sence of it's play.

*STARTS INTENSE FACE RUBBING* Here's hoping senpai gives eldar more love.

So not only will GK be balanced, but also cool to play against. This will be an interesting patch, can't wait to see the changes to the other races.
