Thanks for sharing the list :)
Seems like they are putting all the vanilla items in one place, and a few odd ones like the watchtower.

Was there any indication if the magic items in the army books were still available for selection?

Thanks for this.

Would also be good to know whether or not the one-use-only arcane items take a slot, and if you can still take more than one of them.

You can still use the items in the army books (that is what the erratar list will say), what will be for the Asur with lower point costs. But we do not get a reduction for all the new items in the rule book...
And the war banner for example is much expensiver for all. No idea why GW made that.
And no, you can now get only one item of each section: so only one dispel scroll. I think only the Skaven have unlimmited acces to their warpstone tokens.

There goes the power stone spam idea... #-o

Good to know, though. Thanks again.

On an off-topic note, I just realised I missed the campaign last year. Damn...

I wish they hadn't done this.

To my mind it's a step back to 5th edition.

Matt Ward's done the rulebook from what I know.
So its a step back from everything.

(Yes I have a pretty bad opinion of Matt's ability to produce a set of coherent rules for a table top gaming system)

Well, I like it, it evens the playing field a little. Fire damage white lions ftw. :) Armor Piercing Spears... opens up some exciting possibilities.

Duellklinge (duelblade) 35 pts
Weapon pair, bearer has weapon skill 10

This one interests me, surely the 'to hit' has been changed or somthing, I mean, WS is a decent stat, but just to gain it for 35 points, and nothing else (dual blades, perhaps you still get +1 attacks) would seem steep.

Then you realize that unlike Dark Elf Warriors that can take Magic Banners on any number of Spearmen units, High Elves are stuck with only 1 core unit allowed a magic banner, all the other core units can't take one ]:

so boring.

Yeah but let's forget about the vile druchii for a minute, I'd take a decent banner with my lsg, pop my bsb with another and as we know, our elites can byo.
If we then take the dark elves into account and grabbing all these expensive banners it's going to mean they've got less boots on the field, sure they're going to be more powerful, but what's the fun in gaming without challenge.
The cups half full.

Stick this on a bladelord and swordmasters are now immune to fear (whatever the effects are in 8e) for 10 points (and they can still take a banner) seems pretty good.

It's still only S3 though... Imagine the bladelord with a Strength Potion.

That Erdender Stab makes the Staff of Solidity look awesome. I hope they don't change the pts cost.

Shame we don't have a ranged unit that can take the bound fireball...

As I recall one of the reasons given for dropping the mass of common magic items was to reduce the number of horrible combinations possible to a level where army book playtesters could get the balance of the book right. This looks very difficult now, with mass common & specific items.

I think they did a good job with the change from 5th to 6th. 7th to 8th though is looking like a bigger change. Whether they've managed it Ok time will tell I guess.

From perusing the Arcane Items, nothing dissuades me from attempting to compel an early decision through primarily force of arms.

I don't think a lot of people will take the hat thingy. Spending every point of a lord's allowance on a single item that makes you an OK wizard with random lore and stupid doesn't seem like that great of a deal to me. I know that I'll never use it.

It depends on whether you can spam characters; the selection is extensive enough that if you have cheap magic item platforms, you can load them up and throw them at your opponent. If the slots are limited, you'd be more selective.

Yeah, I don't even think I'd take this thing. The stupidity I could deal with at LD 10, but 100 points is way too steep.

Wow, that's a lot of great choices for our champs. Swordmaster Champ with Potion of strength . . .3 re-rollable to hit S8 attacks for a turn...nice.

Did anyone notice that the bound ring is an enchanted item and is only 25 pts? Put that baby on a PG champ and Have him throw the tooled up fireball spell every turn with 6 dice unitl he blows up. He may even survice the a loss of control with his ward save (and his whole unit will fair better than most)

On a side note...Does anyone know if the ward save from magic resitance helps with wounds from miscasts? if you put the banner of arcane protection with the PG, they will have a 2 up ward verse spells...How can you pass that buy? Time to reglue some halbards back on...

If you roll a double 6 for a bound spell, the item will just melt. No loss of controll roll.
