PierreTheMime posted:They brought back combat pile-in multiassaults A few articles ago they mentioned you can only attack what you delare a charge against, so if you milti charge, you'll have to do that before you roll your dice. Everyone can overwatch you as well. Pretty good mechanic overall. JesusIsTehCool posted:Seems kind of silly to claim TACTICS if they are still going to keep all the forced movement in the pile in phase. Hope that stuff is gone and you can just move your guys however you want so long as they are still in coherency. I know what you're getting at, but if you could position your models during combat it would be possible to kite a melee units throughout an entire game. The Bee posted:I think that makes sense. Sacrifice mulching a single unit for tying up two or three, and split attacks between them based on how you've divided your unit. This makes me miss templates even more. Bring pogs to force people to spread out and then charge them because they take up more space. Maybe they'll abstract it somehow.

My first instinct was to post dril in response to this because it's pretty clearly wrong quote:They seem to have put a ton of effort into shooting then melee feels like an afterthought. 40k has always been a shooting game an it feels like that is how it'll stay which is fine people like that. the words of someone who never played 3rd edition

Hell, if the case is that I can't get attacks on the unit I just locked into combat via pile-in and can instead direct all attacks to crush the main target only to have the others run off and not be able to shoot that's almost better, honestly.

The other day I remembered learning 3rd edition on the floor of my brother's bedroom, and sometimes pouring through the rule book on long car trips with my family. Also remember buying my first models, a box of second edition space marines that I found in a shop in Lake Geneva, WI while on one of those said car trips. One day my brother came home from hanging out with friends with the 3rd edition starter set and a bloody nose. He won the set in a competition this store did where you had to push a giant D20 with your nose around the store and whoever had the best time won the set. He won, got a bloody nose, and decided to build a blood angels army. Oh, memories. oh god im old and I thought I left this game behind a decade ago but goddamn it 8th will pull me back in fuckkkkk

It's been far to long since I had time to pick up a brush but managed to touch up and make some small progress on the canoness tonight. Looking forward to getting her finished and based. I think I am going to re-do the hair.

I feel like there isn't really enough to differentiate 40k and AoS once 8th drops. If they want me to eventually buy into Sigmar then they're gonna need to offer a more divergent experience.

I really want to know if they will change the assault rules when disembarking or arriving from reserves (such as summoning and DS) Also, with the removal of the scatter die, I wonder how deep strike will work.

I always took issue with arriving in deep strike with an assault unit and just sitting there taking it a whole turn before hopefully having enough dudes to move and assault with.

I wanted practise working with sheet styrene for other projects, so came up with a project for my space Barbies for things i want but will never actually buy. Much detailing left, but the main structures are all the finally there) Yay or nay? I kinda really like the missile launcher reliquary look, and will probably incorporate that shape onto the valdor I'm building. Unless everyone thinks it's too doofy and then I'll cave to ham peer pressure.

I wonder if they pointed out mcs with this in mind:quote:They lose movement, attacks, and depending on the critter, to hit, to wound, leadership, reduced special rule effectiveness, and so on. And all it takes to ding the statline is usually 2 or 3 wounds, or, one lascannon.

Probably not. AoS style feels bolted on in regards to mc. It'll probably be the same for vehicles.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:So in the end the whole thing is still dependent on a random charge range. As cool as everything else sounds I just can't understand why GW thinks it's acceptable for charging to be random when shooting has a fixed range. Imagine how ranged armies would respond if every game was played using night fighting rules. it's annoying because they have a chance to rebuild the game from the ground up and fix silly things like this but just chose not to

I love Chain of Command and it has random movement distance, but it works because it's baked into the system. It's not a measure of how far you run, but how far you can run before the next initiative iteration. But that's an overall function of the game. You don't have fixed movement rates that turn into random ones when it becomes important. I... don't see this ending well, or understand why they went this way. Is pre-measuring allowed under 8th? Is it to throw a wrench into that predictability of " guaranteed charges by turn 2 (or whatever)?"
