Haven't seen any material from the book... I'm assuming it's good judging by the reactions everyone has. Maybe I should grab more...

When you kill a pink horror, it splits into 2 new Blue horrors in a new/existing unit within 6". Blue horrors split into brimstone horrors in the same way. It seems like a lot of free points to me. To madisons point, I actually play close combat oriented armies. I'm not complaining about a meta shift. Genestealer cults aren't overpowered because you can't rely on rolling 6s on cult ambush. But pink horrors are guaranteed to become blue horrors when the die. Just seems like an idea they didn't playtest enough, especially since they are all psychers with access to summoning.

Yeah but I see this getting revised soon, but it was played tested, but I think they got the scaling completely wrong. It was only in a board game when the blue and brimstone were introduced. I think if you negated them being psyker that might be enough cause brimstone are just grotz in the end. But I guess with invulnerable saves...that might be an issue.

Haha yeah, I know it was playtested. Just exaggerating. But yeah, I like the idea of the rule. But just like the GSC summoning power, there aren't enough restrictions on it to keep it semi-balanced. Like maybe if they weren't psychers and like instant death prevents splitting.

There might be. Again leaks only tell so much. I'll find out Saturday around 10am when the book comes out. If it is as bad as it seems then maybe I'll house rule them to weaker them a bit.

I doubt you'll need to hamstring your self, as it's written right now you'll need to buy another 40 models per 10 pink horrors to use the rule. As a result I doubt anyone will have the models to play that way for quite some time.

You be surprised how quickly someone could amass that horde.

You be surprised how quickly someone could amass that horde. Unless gw releases separate boxes for blue and brimestone horrors they are hard to come by for now. You get a couple in hero quest and four in the burning chariot box.

Well that's assuming you don't use Old Warhammer models. Granted metal and ugly looking, but still GW and still acceptable to use. But I thought they were releasing a lot of boxes that same day, or at least that's what this podcast was saying. "It's GW biggest christmas release." Again lets see what happens. As you said, if the boxes don't come out then your right, it will take a little while.

I think the "biggest GW christmas release" comment is in regards to the fact that typically december is ONLY for the 2-3 mega boxes for AoS/40k, and nothing else. This year, its 4 mega boxes per game, plus bloodbowl, plus a "new" faction, codex supplement, and 5 new kits.
We would have already seen leaks somewhere if brimstone/blue horrors were getting a true kit by now - hell, we saw magnus almost 2 months ago, and the rubricae stuff around halloween. I don't doubt they'll maybe make a box for them at some point, but I don't think its coming for christmas.

I just love when they bring back crazy, super awkward rules for seemingly no reason. I'd love to see blue horrors pop out of pink horrors in a game (so long as brimstone horrors aren't immune to flamers, I'd be down with them popping out too).

The BeastBirdmans are good. WS4 T4 with a 6++ 7 points per model
They have a little formation that gives them fleet and the ability to run and charge. It also gives them +1 S and +1 I on a charge over 9"
