This is probably the best approach they could have taken. It would have been nice of GW to include changes to points values and additional allegiance special rules as a free PDF, but given that regular AoS players are going to want the new content anyway, it's unlikely that someone with the 2016 edition isn't going to buy the 2017 edition.

Welp, I guess they're keeping on top of the leaks. I was assembling a box of the Ironjawz at lunch, and noticed how much better the Brutes look without that "cage" front armor:  VS.  Without the armor, he's got so much more character. Also, the peg-leg is an option - there should be no option. Peg-legs 4 lyfe.

I'm up to 1000 points now. I bought 8 warriors with halberds off ebay and converted a bunch more out of leftover knight lances and bits of sprue. Also picked up a chaos lord and a unit of 10 plaguebearers. Probably going to get some games in with it tomorrow or wednesday. Chaos Lord Sorcerer Lord 20 warriors with halberds 10 plaguebearers 5 knights Gorebeast chariot Going to eventually get the plaguebearers up to a 20 or 30 model unit.

So glad they are just releasing allegiance abilities for old armies in the new book, will help catch up the power levels a lot. Well, assuming that a lot of the more abusive units go up in points

I think the problem is that both fans and the creators have latched too hard onto the 'lol, sex' aspect of Slaanesh. There's a million things to do with the setup they have now and the stuff they've established as Slaanesh's ballgame (striving for unobtainable perfection, obsession, creepy rear end new-wave cenobyte aesthetic). They could easily wring a Summer Campaign or Realmgate Wars style book series out of Slaanesh being missing.

I'm painting up some chaos knights to try and get my 500 done by the start of the escalation league next week. I can't get over how gorgeous these sculpts are, they make my warmachine stuff look like dogshit.

God help me, I just bought two boxes of the "Start Collecting" Ironjawz. I put a bid of $60 each, and it was immediately accepted. I don't even know if there is a local AoS community...

Had my first 1k points games. Used this list for both Chaos lord Sorcerer lord 20 warriors with halberds 10 plaguebearers 5 knights Gorebeast chariot First was against a friends skaven list he's working on for the league. Arch warlock Warlord Warlock engineer 20 clanrats 20 clanrats 20 stormvermin Ratling gun Warpfire thrower Was a pretty close game. My knights charged a unit of clanrats and ratling gun on the flank, took 3 or 4 rounds to kill them and they lost 4 models because of all the mortal wounds being thrown around through spells. Chariot was on the other flank, charged the warpflame and managed 2 wounds before being killed by mortal wounds. In the middle my warriors and plaguebearers dealt with clanrats and stormvermin. Ended up losing the middle eventually though when I forgot to inspiring presence the warriors and I rolled a 6, losing 7 models. I killed everything but the heroes, which killed my lord with spells and finished off my 5 warriors, 5 plague bearers, knight, and sorcerer Second game he brought his competitive list and it wasn't a contest, everything got butchered by shooting and mortal wounds, I killed 1 stormfiend and put 2 wounds on a cannon with my knights. Arch warlock Stormfiends Acolytes Ratling gun Warpfire thrower Lightning cannon Lightning cannon

I used: Lord Celestant Lord Veritant 5 Decimators 5 Judicators 5 Judicators 3 Palladors The Decimators are strong, but it was the Judicators that did a lot of work while sitting the two back field objectives. Between firing and battleshock they swept both clanrat squads in one round. The Decimators were teleported forward by the veritant and charged the stormvermin, wiping them. The palladors used their aetheric movement to take a back objective. Judicators die quickly in melee, but their shooting is brutal against rats.

Yeah my opponent was good at making sure inspiring was put exactly where it was needed to keep clanrats from running and gum up my line. My knights were using glaives which give them -1 rend and 2 damage when charging. Should I have them fall back after? I felt like falling back 10 inches wasn't enough to accomplish much, they'd just get charged again unless I got a double turn.

I play to the double turn, both to take advantage of it and defend against it. I try to look for plays that will give me a big advantage if I roll the double and same for my opponent. Teleporting heavy infantry isn't that great on a single turn because of the need for a 9 inch charge, but is amazing if you make a double turn. Same for withdraw, which is ok on a single turn but really strong on a double.

Yeah, that's good advice. Not used to the turn structure yet. Maybe it'd be worth keeping some daemons in reserve to try and summon then charge if I have a chance at a double turn. Herald of nurgle would probably do well at that

Played a 1k game against Tzzentch mortal wound spam. He had caster on disc, another caster hero, some hero with a scroll, twenty Tzaangors, ten Pink horrors and a unit of Skyfires. First game against them with my angry trees, I had played them before with elves and got skullfucked. I figured I was in for another reaming when he got turn one, nuked my Wych with unstoppable mortal wounds using Skyfires and destiny dice, and then put nine more wounds on to my Ancient using more of the same. He then hit first go on turn two and destroyed my Dryads with charging Tzaangors. However, I was still learning this Army and didn't give credit to the power of angry loving trees. All the spells and charges were pooping mortal wounds onto units and Heroes and by the bottom of turn two everything he had was hurt. I had hunters with bows in a tower, my Ancient, and a unit of tree Revenants left. Spell casting in my phases wrecked him, his Tzaangors were close to a wood and I had my Ancient within 6" so every spell cast was eating them alive. Awaken The Woods alone killed both his general, another hero and at least ten Tzaangors and horrors. End of the game my Ancient had healed back all but four wounds and I still had two hunters on full wounds. Tabled him in turn five. Angry trees are real assholes.

Legit bugs me when I see Sylveneth armies not use them, not even the free set you get as a faction bonus. I've seen them take down Archaon, Fateweaver, countless smaller wizards and units that tried their luck charging my Treeple hidden in them. Don't gently caress with the trees.

Good lord, putting the plastic Black Orcs/Ardboys together is a pain in the rear end. The "tongue and groove" system they have is terrible and isn't deep enough to work, and certain legs won't work on certain bodies, but there isn't any way to tell until you're gluing them on. You can certainly see the difference between them and the newer Brute models - those things were a pleasure to assemble.
