Gathered from all the info at Warseer insiders AND from a couple folks who, via a favour, apparently got to see the army book due out in october. From all info gathered/rumours, etc...it\'s appearing like this is legit...will see of course (some of this info has been confirmed already by GW):
------
Rules:
- Army wide re-roll panic
- Mark of Khorne causes Frenzy, has different effect for Giant
- Mark of Nurgle causes -1 penalty to the WS or BS of a model attacking
- Mark of Slaanesh benefits the unit with Itp, also gives ASF to characters and rare choices
- Mark of Tzeentch gives +1 to ward save (6+ ward to models without one), also +1 to cast for sorcerers
- May be other effects for different units but if there are, they are currently unknown
- Gaze of the Gods table, roll 2D6 for the following:
- Characters roll every time they win a challenge
- Chosen roll once at the start of the game
- Trolls roll every time they successfully regenerate two or more wounds at once
- 2 on the table causes stupidity, 7 does nothing, 11 makes unit fear causing, 12 gives a 4+ ward save and stubborn. The remainder of results are various benefits, some of which are MR3, hatred, and stat boosts.
- Chaos characters may now take Chaos Gifts on top of Magic Items, much like the VC\'s Vampiric Powers
- Lore of Slaanesh returns virtually unchanged, other lores are now greatly improved
- Characters must challenge in combat if they can

chariot type model, gives benefits much like the Dark Elves\' Cauldron of Blood; allows one per turn to roll on the Gods table as one of its benefits; may not be joined by characters, moves and fights as a monster; radius for it\'s effects is 12\" and they work in the shooting phase, the one benefit I know it can give is to allow any unit in range to roll on the Gaze of the Gods table

Why do i feel like my poor lizardmen, even with the new book coming in early 2009, will be a big let down
