Rulebook Heavily posted:The Grail Vow: You can re-roll all failed What was that edition of Magic: The Gathering, was it called Unhinged? It was the one that required shrill nerds to yell very stupid things as loud as they could in order to get certain bonuses. It was the worst thing. People left the store in incredulous terror, myself included.

It feels like GW is intentionally trying to outdo how awful every new piece of information about this game is. Like, at some point you'd expect at least something cool to come out of this, but beginning from the announcement of AoS, through the big reveal of the STORMCAST ETERNALS, and now all this corny warscroll poo poo, there's literally nothing redeeming about this whole shitpile. This is impossibly bad.

Lord Twisted posted:This needs to be the new thread title. Holy loving poo poo I forgot about the Triumph table. You could in theory use the Triumph table to instant win the Bell roll, but the ultimate punchline would be for my opponent to claim that Oracle of Eternity counts as a modifier for the Bell, we Most Important Rule roll-off to determine whether it is or not, I change the MIR rule due to Blessed, and then business as usual. 2 successive rolls to determine whether or not I win the game, and I can ignore both of them.

Lord Twisted posted:This needs to be the new thread title. Honest question: Do you even need an Age of Sigmar thread at this point? Like, I know it's tradition, but this is not a game that has rules. It's an unplayable mess. Are any of you even interested in playing this with rules as written and expecting it to be a compelling or fun game?

More, more, more! Slaanesh is the Chaos God of Excess. Before the game, calculate both players' Body Mass Index. For every point of BMI you have over your opponent you gain one reroll that may be used at any time. had you going for a second there

This seems amazing if the game was totally new and came with all the cheapo models you'd need to play so stupidly. This being the decision they made over fantasy is absolutely baffling.

Empire Cannons are only a 40" range now but can fire twice as long as they have 2 or 3 Crew left. 4+ to hit, 2+ to wound, still D6 wounds. You can reroll all failed Hits if you have an Engineer within 1".

Why the gently caress would anyone allow this poo poo in their stores? A parent with a young child go into a GW store, almost buy something, but goons start sporadically screaming and insulting each other, which causes the family to run out of the store. Looking forward to bringing a bottle of whiskey to the GW store for my Bugman's rules

Supposing Warpfire Projectors actually read as 2D3 mortal wounds per shot, which might not actually be the way it reads (holy gently caress that rule is a mess), since the shooting rules do not restrict you from targetting multiple units, "deploy a unit of 200 Stormfiends and take the first turn" is a pretty viable strategy.

So all the monsters I've seen so far have 10+ wounds, which would normally prevent them from being killed by a single cannon in one turn. Except now cannons can fire twice. Not that it matters since you can just take 20 cannons anyway.

Step 1: Buy Tomb Swarms Step 2: Deploy Tomb Swarms as your only unit, claim sudden death and endure Step 3: Burrow Step 4: Let opponent play solitaire for six turns Step 5: You win (the rules aren't clear on whether you even need to unborrow because nowhere does it define whether burrowed models are "in play" or not) Slightly less powerful but more legit than forcing two dice to roll a 13 in the first turn. It's also more hilarious because you are wasting someone elses time.

I'd be willing to get really drunk and try this with friends, but even if we want to make a fair and balanced battle we have no idea how to judge that. Maybe use the old points for the units? Even that won't work I think. It just blows my mind that people at GW thought, the public is gonna love this! Also, lizardmen are now keyworded as daemons.

Zwiebel posted:Step 1: Buy Tomb Swarms Good gumption, but you're a little presumptuous with it being "more legit" than the Oracle/Bell combo. See the major victory rules: quote:In the Mortal Realms battles are brutal A Tomb Swarm could, in theory, start deployed then burrow on turn 1 never to return, but the other player will instantly win. Supposing they disappeared on the bottom of Turn 6, then there would be an immediate argument over who won the game.

I guess you'd have to actually play some other models in order for something like this to be a viable auto-win, summoning more tomb swarms each turn and unburrowing them out of reach or whatever.
