Contingentes

Overall Summary
GW is going to produce a set of contingent rules which includes at least 5 new factions with model support.

The contingents will first appear in a White Dwarf (perhaps one or two at a time); WD will become what it used to be, models may appear around the same time. A contingent book encapsulating the new contingents and rules will be further on down the line.

This will not effect the release schedule for other armies

There will be rules to add contingents to your normal lists, possible scheme to add contingents from existing armies.

GW may be using this as an opportunity to clear out old stock of Kislev and Dogs of War.

Rumored Combo Book with WE and Brettonia that Ghost thought might be referring to upcoming contingent rules

A related rumor indicates the contingent paradign may be getting worked into the 40k rules as well, with GW seeing this as an opportunity to expand the scope of their game world without generating detailed armybooks for all the new things they want to include.

Contingent Rules
Contingents are aligned with Destruction, Order, or neutral similar to ally rules, there are supposed to be 2 of each in the first 6 new armies to be released.

Only 2 special/universal characters will make it into the book.
The allies rule has 3 different ways of aligning your force with another theres neutral allies, friendly and unfriendly (unfriendly represents, people forcing them to fight or they don't like each other but its for the best) there will be rules to use say (its just an example) chaos in empire.

There are significant drawbacks to this they also will be balanced for about 750 points to use by themselves, any more they lack any heavy hitters. You can align 2 or all of them together to create a rag tag army or infernal alliance (that's the exact wording), however some really hate each other and so have some drawbacks

There's only 1 character who can be an over general ( removing bad effects) and he's estallian

Allied lists can be used stand alone, but there will be no lord level character
Rules for Pikes were mentions

Future Expansion
Popular contigents may get more units later on. Zoats, snakemen, and fimir are being handled by forgeworld , but ghost felt these may get their own contingent list later on as well.

Rumors on the Book
5 of the coningents will make it into book with the official allie rules and possibly some scenarios.

These 5 armies are:
Insectoids
Fishmen/ichthylids
Estalia
Araby
Other non-human



Contingent Lists
Here are the rumors relevant to specific contingents
Each contingent to have 3-4 units 1-2 characters

Fishmen/Ichthylids
Harry was shown concept art a few years back, which could have been a preview or just a continuation of the long standing studio fishmen Joke
There is a long standing joke in the studio about the next release being fishmen. However tidbits about undersea creates continue to build up in the books (lizardmen book, sea creature rules in BRB). And on models (dark elf corsairs/special character)

Insectoids
Fire Belly Shield motif on latest ogre kingdom model may be clue about insectizoid race. Insect race also mentioned in the Ogre book, possible some fluff reference to kuresh or ind somewhere as well
Hinted at not being in the forces of destruction

Pirate list
Rumored to be White Dwarf Only

Estalia
Have a character that removes negative effects of opposingly aligned allies
Pike units and pike plus crossbow units

Kislev
Cavalry Using Old Sculpts with New Models
Re-releasing old sculpts in fine cast
New Ice wizard model
New unit of arquebus

Non-human Contingent
something that will be in the book, not yet identified

Araby
Will have 2 Cavalry units, 2 infantry units, 1 monstrous infantry unit, and 1 hero
No Elephants
Camel janissaries/ long barreled gun powder cavalry
Araby Wizard with Harem Guard
Djinn (see araby dread fleet boat)
Elemental Type unit for four basic elements with fancy names (e.g. Fire Efreets), presumably the Djinn would fit in here.

Dogs of War/ Tilea
Ghosts said not at first, Harry heard a whisper about them, could have been something about wharfs of Gouda though. Ghost indicated Tilians will get a WD list but will not make it into the book.
Tileasn will get units for duelists, pikemen, crossbowmen, heavy cav, and a wizard with a new poison lore

Chaos Dwarves
No specific rumors other than Forgeworld being told to stop making new ones (Hasstings69, et al). This could potentially mean that they are being reserved for some sort of future GW development, or not, we'll see.

Zoats, snakemen, and fimir

Ni de coña...si sacan los Fimir a más de uno le da un infarto, es como ver a tu tatatarabuelo paseando por la calle vivito y coleando (nunca mejor dicho lo de coleando respecto a los Fimir jejeje)

Pues a falta de ver más cositas, de momento me parece una iniciativa genial, ya que le dará mucha más variedad a las listas.
Estoy deseando ver las nuevas miniaturas.

Por una vez, una expansión de GW que no me disgusta. Veremos a ver en qué queda al final.

Karring tu no has leido que GW ha pedido a FW que detenga la produccion de los enanos del caos¿?¿?Verdad?¿?¿

Pues tiene una pinta que te cagas. Me veo terminandome el ejército del Caos y haciendome otro de Estalianos xDDDDDDD

Sí que lo he leído. Pero si detienen la producción para hacerlos "oficialmente" como contingente de GW, no es que tenga mucho de lo que quejarme. Por suerte aún no había vendido mi alma para comprar toneladas de guardia infernal así que estoy salvado.

Pues..... parece que no van tan en broma estos de GW/ forge....

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/FIMIR-WARRIORS.html

No estan nada mal, pero espero que no saquen una expansión (o como quieran llamarlo) cuyas miniaturas se tengan que adquirir por FW, por que si no será una estafa. Me da a mi en la nariz que sacaran casi toda la gama los de GW y el resto al mundo forja...

he traducido las reglas de los firmirs, mas o menos... xddd, y esto es lo que dicen:

rs
M WS BS S T W I A Ld Troop Type Unit Size Points
Fimir 6 4 2 4 5 3 2 3 7 infanteria monstruosa 3-12 unidades // 75 puntos cada 1
Fimir Noble 6 4 2 4 5 3 2 4 8 inf.monstruosa

Armas y armadura:
Arma de mano, arma a 2 manos y armadura pesada. ( combinado con la escamosa tienen un 3+ de armadura , jojojo, que pasote... XDD)

*por un coste de 15 puntos puedes hacer que un firmir sea noble.
*Puedes cambiar su armamento de arma a dos manos por dos armas de mano, gratis

Reglas especiales:

Piel escamosa ( 5+), golpetazo de la cola ( F5), cruzar pantanos,emboscada, sangre fría y " desde la niebla"

Desde la niebla:

Portahechizos de nivel de energia 3 si la unidad esta formada por 3 o menos firmirs, pasa a ser objeto portaechizos de N4 cuando son 4 o más firmirs.
Crea una densa niebla al rededor de la unidad, haciendo que los ataques a disparos y cuerpo a cuerpo tengan un modificador de -1 al impactar, y , las unidades que hagan un movimiento de carga contra la unidad, deberá vlver a repetir las tiradas de dados.

De reglas anda bien, aunque el precio es desproporcionado. Pero bueno, habría que ver en qué ejércitos encajarían. La regla emboscada junto con su resistencia y armadura pueden dar muchos quebraderos de cabeza.
