Not a lot of information really. Link.I imagine it'll mostly just be including COK stuff & a few paragraphs of errata. They claim there'll be 14 armies in the core rulebook with an expansion book coming out a couple of months afterwards with 12 more for a total of 26 factions. We know that'll include the new Northern Alliance faction and the book with 12 more will probably be stuff from Uncharted Empires. The new core rulebook should be 380 pages. I think that's significantly thicker than the existing one. So new core rulebook out in October. That'll be something to look forwards to. |

New profile layouts. I don't like this. They waste page space. The circles on their own do nothing because they're all the same colour and shape. With only the lettered abbreviations differentiating between them they might as well have stuck to the old linear layout which made sense. It wasn't confusing or difficult to read. Now if they'd made the circles different colours or used icons or something it would help what they're trying to achieve here. At that point they might as well use cards. Scaling unit upgrades with unit size makes sense. Probably being done with magic items too.  |

It looks like there's a new 3rd edition starter set coming. It'll be Nightstalkers against the Northern Alliance. Loving the look of these new Northern Alliance clansmen although they do look as if they're about to tell some soft southern pansy that he knows nothing.  |

Yep - look good and could be used for lots of different games - but will they be the usual nightmare to glue together

I have some new information.
There will be a change to the phalanx rule. I don't know what it is but, apparently, it's really good.
Armies will have Army Upgrades. At the moment every army has a single army special rule (which often appears in other armies). A few armies have an army upgrade like the dwarfs and chaos dwarfs throwing dogs. It is not clear if the army upgrades will be something you pay for once and then it applies to the entire army or something that you purchase for each unit. The ones that I know about are for Basileans who will upgrade their damage removal from 1 to 2 whole points for Iron Resolve and for the Undead who will upgrade their Lifesteal from 1 to 2 points (or possibly upgrade by 1 point for the vampires who already have Life Steal 2).
Keywords will be used. Looking at the Undead army the zombies will have the Zombie keyword. This on it's own does nothing. However the Necromancer will have an option, for a few points, to add an upgrade to all units with the Zombie keyword. In fact I'm hearing that the Undead army will have a lot of synergy potential to do with it's keywords.

There is no bounce!
Remember when we didn't bother with the 1" disengage bounce "because they're going to just fight back next turn"? Remember all those times when someone asked "so who bounces" despite it always being the attacker who bounced an inch back?
Well now nobody bounces in 3rd edition (which makes it harder to stand and shoot at someone who just charged you).
May. Not must. No forced disengage after combat.
Also ...
So no charge blocking standard bearers (who'd generally just get slaughtered and overrun anyway).
Hill charges for everyone! Charge down hill!
This roughly translates to stuff charges further.

Although not my Fing
The rules seem to be moving in a logical direction
A mass battle itch needs scratching but when is the release date -- I see October and pre-order but when does it hit the shelves?
