From Spikey Bits: Myes, plastic Death Guard and cultists, so people no longer have to use the single pose ones from Dark Vengeance. This also means that they will get a codex of their own, in the same vein as Khorne Daemonkin and Traitor Legions / Wrath of Magnus. While we're at it.. plastic Mortarion and maybe plastic Typhus. ninja

And some 8th edition rumours dropped at the seminar: Quote: Thematic armies will be rewarded, movement value is coming back, armour save modifiers, and charging units get to strike first. And Morale will work the same as AOS. Holy hell! 8th Ed. Here we come! Movement values - that's one I'm stoked about.

What the heck does thematic armies mean exactly? FOC, formation, specific chapter/faction?

I've got to stop asking 'why' at some point... sweatdrop On the plus side, maybe Nids will be at the front of an edition for once? I can see hours they'd benefit from the movement and charging rules. Meta returning to assault armies?

Sean King What the heck does thematic armies mean exactly? FOC, formation, specific chapter/faction? It's still early days, so not a lot is known as of now, but GW seems to hint at fluffy lists or armies built as how they appear in the background, minus the allied shenanigans and the like.

If it's a straight list without formations or allies, I'm all set.
