WARHAMMER IS HERE!!! Well not quite just yet, but we have read the book, played some games and now we will talk all about it!

In episode 38 we dissect the 8th edition rulebook, this was a live show with a packed chatroom and some great questions coming in from the guys at home. After the show we recorded 45 mins Snake Eyes episode

We have 3 competitions, first up you can win a copy of 8th edition by writing a battle report and posting it on the Snake eyes forums.

Had the book in my hands today, great pocast guys, you were unsure in a few places I have fresh information on.

Miscast and Irresistble force: Naturally occurs only together, but specific magic items can make them happen separately (there are two short paragraph exactly on that subject)

Flying: There was nothing about choosing mode of movement, but fliers always flee and pursue using their ground movement value.

I might have to relisten to the podcast, but there was something about how charge works that i never heard before. Something about doing one completely then another?

You're getting off easy mate. In australia we're paying a whopping 125 dollars (or some such). I'm done with local shops in Oz altogether. I'm ordering online from the UK (Maelstrom for example). Period. Australian GW business management has had a beer or two too much and more than a bit too much sun as well, I'll wager. Same goes for a fire prism... 100 bucks :shock: In the UK I get that for just under 50. Odd. I've never seen that sort of international price discrepancy in any system. Smells like bad management. A lot.
When I think of something witty, I shall put it here.
