I think the Clawlord on Broodhorror had a Warplock Pistol in the trailer.

There's no individual model selection, you just pick a whole war band. Is he going to be a one-man war band? Edit: I guess it could be a just-for-fun scenario rather than actual competitive rules.

grassy gnoll posted:I have been banging the drum of jezzails ignoring Look Out, Sir for ages, so this is mildly gratifying on a personal level. I am a little surprised to see the warlock engineer's not a wizard anymore, and that More More Warp Power is going to be highly situational as opposed to a general Skryre spell. The theory I’ve heard is they cut Skryre wizards because of how you’re picking one lore for your entire army so they’d be casting Seer spells.

Skyre were never true wizards anyway, they used mad science to do the same thing. This means Grey Seers should get Warp Lightning back.

Yeah. It makes sense, I'm just sad about losing the ability to Tony Montana my way through a pile of warp sparks. Making Grey Seers scary would be a nice tradeoff, at least. Skitterleap and death frenzy are both great, but wither just ain't it, you know?

Are you telling me this Old World-rear end dwarf has rules in Cursed City and not Old World?

Old World doesn't have legacy gently caress around rules. You technically can't use him in aos either.

FW was a garage operation that was only reluctantly absorbed into GW as it became professionalized. The feud is bc they're competing for resources from the print and marketing and I guess HR departments that they "pay for" out of mini sales. So if you buy the wrong goblins to use for your game one of those departments is eating the others lunch A YouTuber who used to work at GW, AoS Coach had a video about the corporate structure.

It's like my department charging my hourly rate to other departments when they request a work order. It makes no sense to me but I matters to some bean counter somewhere.

It’s dumb but I’ve worked in places where the attitude was just casually “don’t do anything for that other department unless the boss makes you, they’ll get the credit and the project will just show up on their books”. Not even out of pissiness, just a sort of target focus that discourages collaboration. I could imagine this setup actually being a compromise position, like an attempt to make sure all sales are clearly trackable and associated with a particular line so everything is ‘fair’ to the teams. Again, dumb and harmful but not uncommon.

And we also only have content creators word on how acrimonous it is, people with active interest in farming engagement. The Old World is a pretty big experiment with likely very strict sales goals. If I was the head of it and my job and the jobs of the people that worked for me depended on meeting those goals, I'd want it very clear which game the revenue was supporting.

Welp I bought the warcry darkoath gang and war queen. I'm going to get the new box as well. I probably won't ever play a game but I can't go past some sweet Conan dudes, they're awesome. I also like the fluff that Sigmar is invading their home and they're more gently caress you than let the world burn.

GHB in the $250 box seems a better deal than the Crusade Rules 40k got last year. Vvvv I thought GHB was more akin to Chapter Approved than the mission decks. Macdeo Lurjtux fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Apr 24, 2024 |

The Leviathan deck was also in the 40K starter box. Edit: the deck is the set of rules and missions that's used in tournaments, so it's pretty much the same thing as generals handbook from that point of view. It doesn't have extra rules for list building though so those don't come up in tournaments. Lostconfused fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Apr 24, 2024 |

Al-Saqr posted:Wow the deployment zones are a full half of the map? Theres no seperation? There’s usually a rule saying you can’t deploy within 9 inches of enemy territory but otherwise yes, because a lot of effects care about being in or out of your or enemy territory.

An increasing amount of underdog rules seems like fiddly bookkeeping, rather than a true catch up mechanic. I think I honestly would have preferred it just stay as a bonus command point.

My knee jerk reaction is that I hate that Battle Tactics are staying but I reserve judgement for until we get the BT article. My one wish for this edition is that BTs as they currently exist are taken out back and shot and a good system replaces them.
