Is ETC allowing the new rules and units

Post by Gidean »

Just wondering if ETC is considering this End of Times official changes to Warhammer or just treating it as a campaign series?

I believe - but dont quote me on this - that they did not allow storm of chaos rules when they came out. And since the end times bring some drastic rule changes, I doubt we will be seeing them at the ETC. They will continue with "official army book armies only". But that is just my thought, I may yet be surprised.

In fairness, there were some utterly broken things in Storm of Chaos that ETC should never have allowed (Slayer army, I'm looking at you).

At the moment, it's just the new Lore of Undeath, the Morghasts, Gutrot Spume and the Putrid Blightkings that would be new additions to existing armies under the End Times rules (depending on what else is in the next book). Assuming that End Times supplement armies weren't allowed (and thus Nagash and the Undead Legions were unusable), I don't see what would be so objectionable about the other End Times rules and models.

^This! To me this and the new magic lore are the biggest changes to the game. This is what has our local Tournament Organizers in a quandary. My club is wondering where to go. Adapt End of Times books and rules changes or just ignore them like they have Storm of Magic and sadly, Triumphant and Treachery.
