Indeed. Oh, and let me warn you, this is going to be quite a picture intensive post. Apparenlty an orc-minded one too.
So, on to the new
Orcs and Goblins rumors. We all know they will be the next army to get unleashed upon an unsuspecting players' community, and now we also know, they will definitely look something like this (

Cute. Rumored rules changes suggest that choppas will remain choppas (thus +1 S) even when two of them are used at the same time (and place) and that every unit will be able to get upgraded to Big 'Uns. Forest Goblins will definitely be featured (along with Spider Riders of course) and so will the much-loved Skarsnik (

On the
Warhammer 7th edition rules front, some things have started to get clearer (as I've cross-referenced on quite a few sites, including the
Warhammer Forum and
Warseer). Still, take the following with a pinch of salt; they are only rumors:
- Characters and members of the command group can be placed anywhere in the front rank.
- Rank bonus will require at least 5-model wide ranks.
- Battle Standard and Unit Standard CR bonuses stack.
- Only minor weapon changes: mounted Great Weapons only get +1 strength, handweapon and shield bonus remains (at least when fighting enemies to your front).
- Minor changes in the magic system, and a new rather brutal miscast table.
- Rules get tidied-up and ... er ... more things get changed.
Guess, that's that for now. You could though read something
Warhammer related, like some
older news & rumors, a review of
WD 317 (there's a new one coming...) or a
Warhammer video gaming
feature.

Monday. I think I've covered the issue. Mostly that is. More Monday-bashing (or moaning) next week. For now, visit another virtual museum (of sorts), and browse through an interesting collection of rather ancient, even classic, video gaming ads. Mostly from the Atari VCS, Vectrex and ColecoVision era. Click here. Mostly. Oh, and update your anti-viral software. These are dangerous times to be online. It still is Monday.
