Very bold. Wearing a breastplate with the single eye of the Inquisition on it while wearing a dead xenos a scarf. What does he think he is, a Space Wolf? :D
I was messing around rolling some dice with a small part of my Death Guard and Space Wolves. Typhus charged a group of 5 Wolf Guard Terminators, shrugged off a pretty successful overwatch (5 hits all shrugged off), then his aura affect put one mortal wound on the Terminators. He then swung 4 times with his Manreaper, 3 got through, no saves made. 9 damage to finish off the unit lol!
As fun as all of this was, should he have only been able to kill 3 targets at the most because he only made 3 attacks or does the damage carry through a unit? It is hard to tell what does and does not.

This used to always throw me off also. Because he landed 3 hits, he would only be getting 3 of the 4 models in the unit. Even if he landed 1 hit and it did 100 damage, because it is just 1 hit only 1 guy has those wounds allocated to him.
Yeah I just went and looked it up and it seems like mortal wounds jump models in units, but nothing else overkills. So when your using multi-damage weapons you just need to be more careful about allocating the wounds seperately. So in that situation the Terminators should have had 2 fully healthy guys left to hit back.
You guys just confused the hell out of me with this. So I checked both 40k rules and AOS rules and sure enough, they are different.
40k says to allocate the wounds to a model. Stop.
AoS says allocate the wounds one at a time to models in the unit.
Wonder why the difference?
I think both of those are saying the same thing, just different wording.
5 Primaris Marines. 2 Wounds Each. I shoot them with my Heavy Burst Cannon, which is 12 shots of 2 damage each. 3 shots wound, so I lose 3 of my 5 marines. If I follow up with my smart missile system, which is 1 damage, and I land 2 wounds, then another dies. I cannot split that damage up between my remaining 2 models to give 1 wound to each in order to save both lives. You have to allocate a single wound at a time, and then any units with a wound counter already have to take any other wounds coming at that unit until they are dead. Let's go back and say we have 5 Primaris Marines again and I shoot my Castellan's Volcano Lance at them. That is a 1d6 of 3D3 damage for each wound. I roll for 2 hits, wound twice, roll for 4 damage on one hit then 9 damage on the other. Even though 13 damage, which is greater than the wound count of that whole unit, I still only lose 2 models in the unit since there were just 2 hits. Imagine it like a hit being an actual bullet. A bullet may be overkill for a unit, but in reality, that wouldn't make it jump to another target. The game treats a hit the same way.
That's my rambling explanation. I'm sure there are way better out there.

the only damage from a single hit that can spill over from one model to another is mortal wounds.
Without mortal wounds, you could deal 20 damage to a unit of poxwalkers and still only kill one
So eyeballing that video we got:
- Rogue Trader Draik
- Kroot Mercenary
- Eldar Ranger?
- Cane holder with hammerhead helmet (Mechanicus fellow or rogue psycher?)
- Soldier, bulky armour with spikey halo (religious fanatic?)
- Glowy eyes goggle person with rifle (Squat?)
- Eyepatch man with grapplehook gun
- KASTELAN ROBOT! (Rogue AI?)
If anyone recognises any of them I would love to hear your insight.

We're supposed to be getting a Ratling Sniper in BF, so that's more likely than a Squat.
I wonder if the genestealer gunslinger is part of this?
Supposedly not. He's also based differently.
Oh, your right and I think I may have just got Ratlings and Squats mixed up. My post meant to refer to the hobbit dudes with the sniper rifles and looking it up the Squats are very much not them.
I wonder if the genestealer gunslinger is part of this?
Didn't see that model leak. That looks amazing. Guessing genestealer cults will be early 2019
Yeah, and to add to this, there are a couple weapons out there that are intended to kill multiple infantry at once, so their wounds carry over multiple models. I think the Death Guard's flail weapon available on Plague Marines works in such a manner.
On the topic of Blackstone Fortress, I think all of the factions that are represented with models will eventually get plastic units for 40k. I just base this hunch on the fact that once they switched to digital 3D design, anything they make becomes an asset that is easily repurposed, and it'd be low key wasteful to put resources into designing 3D models for stuff that only appears in a single game box.

Those weapons will specify in their text that the damage splashes over, though, right?
That's right, in the Flail of Corruptions case it does specifically say excess damage caused by this weapon are not lost and roll onto new target models in the unit.
I love the foreboding spin that GW are putting into Blackstone. Isolation, sci-fi, and horror are a great blend of elements that always hit the right spots for me.
Must admit, I am pleasantly surprised to see the design of the spiderbot. I was expecting them to make the Blackstone enemies an existing 40k baddie (either Chaos or Necrons probably) so seeing them potentially take this in a weird different direction is pretty cool.
One of my favourite things that GW does is when they reference enemies, enemy types or entire races that aren't one of the main tabletop factions. It really gives this feeling of mysterious and a wild crazy universe bigger than what humanity already knows.
TBF, from what we know a fair amount of them are Chaos marines and renegade cultists.
Looks like he's a "Negavolt Cultist":
Chaos Marines, Traitor Guard, Ur-Ghul, and some sort of Beastmen in that video?

Now I know how to chip armor, praise be the God Emperor of Mankind.
Leaked!
There's a GW design studio seminar at Blood and Glory tonight between 8pm and 10pm here in the UK, expecting to see the full reveal then.
Difficult to make out what all the minis are, but looks like 4 Ur-ghuls on the right there.

Blackstone Fortress revealed:

Jesus, Delaque are like a full head taller than Orlocks it seems. I had a full gang of them and Cawdor back on the day and although I wasn't sold on their initial reimagining I'm coming around. Figures the compendium comes out now, I should have seen it coming. Lol
Blackstone Fortress looks so damn good.
4 of my friends are all picking it up. We all want the whole box. We're gonna end up each painting our own character and a couple baddies and then bringing them together to play as a group.
I'm going straight in on that Ranger. She'll hop into one of my Ranger squads in standard 40k when she's not exploring the Fortress. ;)

Standalone game like Warhammer quest, the models will also be useable in 40k.
Have you heard of the fantasy game Warhammer Quest? It's a 40K version of that. It's basically a dungeon-crawl board game. The minis are all new and the same scale as 40K minis, but the game itself is entirely different. Apparently GW will release rules to use the models in 40K too.

Necrons need more than just point drops my friend. First thing they need to do is revert fly back to its original state so people can start using Wraiths again
