June news

[Lemminkäinen]

Thank you so much for the translations, Gierulf!

Very excited about Abby - both rules and model. The low VIG means that she is very squishy, though.

I also love the look of the Askari. A 15-point model is a certainly an interesting development for them.

Ulrich I'm not so sure about. He seems a bit hit or miss in that if your opponent happens to play a Chaos Stigma force, he is godlike but otherwise a bit meh.

I'm guessing we haven't seen him yet. There's usually five releases and since the Askari is just one model, I think there's one more to come. He might be a new sculpt of one of the limited edition minis from the IndieGoGo campaign. The Road Warrior, maybe?

Edit:
In further news, the Askari has two profiles. The second one is 20 points, has OK stats (3|5|4|5), can make allies with lower PSI ignore poison and wounded, can swap improvements with the other profile and can make the other profile explode (2) when killed also giving out Slowdown.

So now the Eden Dirz get Pest of Flesh effect as well
