If we're lucky it'll be around $85, but probably closer to $100-125.

If they brought over the no targeting characters I am not sure how I would kill Tzeentch with most of my armies. Although on the other hand it would make my nurgle stuff even better, hmmm. I really want to see the new death book, I've seen like 3 sets of fake warscrolls at this point so I am just not believing anything.

It may look great, but it's from the era of GW outsourcing terrain to other casters so there's some problems with bits not quite fitting properly and needing a bunch of filling etc. The fortified manor was a much better set for ease of building.

I have a rules question that feels like I've been exploiting something. In the Free Peoples detachment, your units support each other if they're within 6" of each other, so if my screening unit of Freeguild Guard gets charged but is within 6" of my Crossbowmen, the Crossbowmen get to shoot the charging unit "as if it were their shooting phase". Now, Crossbowmen have a rule called Reload, Fire, which goes as follows: "Freeguild Crossbowmen can shoot twice if their unit has 20 or more models, they did not move in their preceding movement phase and there are no enemy models within 3"." So provided they stood still in my preceding movement phase, because they're shooting "as if it were their shooting phase" do they get to shoot twice?

Nothing stopping them, and since it says "as if it were their shooting phase", it seems like rules that would apply during their shooting phase would apply then too.

If AoS is going to get character shooting restrictions it would be in the GHB, or they would reprint the small rules handouts. But I don’t really think it’s going to happen. Hopefully Nagash comes up with a way of protecting his necromancers and wight kings.

Serotonin posted:Yeah agreed. Can't see why it wouldn't apply other than it being terminally unfun to play against! Yeah... I accidentally made an army that's good. I was at my first AoS tournament yesterday! I brought: Freeguild General (sigmarite weapon, pistol) Battlemage (Amber Wizard) Pistoliers x5 Detachment 1: Freeguild Guard x30 (spears, shields) Freeguild Guard x10 (halberds) Crossbowmen x20 Detachment 2: Freeguild Guard x20 (swords, shields) Freeguild Guard x20 (militia weapons) Handgunners x30 Warlord Trait: Indomitable (+1 sv on units within 6" of my general if they didn't charge) Game 1 had me go against Eric and his borrowed Dwarfs. Eric's new to the game, but he's an old Fantasy player. It was a pretty typical Dwarf list, and the mission was Kill the Messenger. My Messenger was my Battlemage, who I hid behind a wall, while his was his Runesmith. I outranged his army so he had to close (slowly) with mine, which gave me plenty of time to shoot him to bits. My Pistoliers ran forward and because of their silly rule they have to run towards the closest visible unit, causing them to run at a Slayer character and get merked. The few charges he got off were met with supporting fire from my handguns and crossbows, which coupled with Hold the Line to make every melee a decisive victory for my troops. On turn 3 I'd cleared away enough of his troops to get a pair of crossbow volleys off on his Runesmith and I killed him, winning the game. He was a nice dude though, and hopefully that game didn't put him off playing more AoS. At the very least it looked good:     Game 2 was against Miles' Ironjawz. This army looked excellent, but I don't think my crappy phone camera captured that. He had a big block of 'Ardboyz, two mobs of 5 Brutes, 2 mobs of 3 Goregruntas, a Warchanter, Weirdnob Shaman, and Megaboss. The mission had a triangle deployment into the center with three objectives on either side - the goal was to burn them and hold your own. Their initial move caused the Shaman, 'Ardboyz, and one mob of Goregruntas to get real close to my army while the rest lagged behind. Again, volleys of shooting, Hold the Line, and Wildform or Arcane Shield on the spearmen he charged had me wipe out the first wave handily. By the time the second wave of Goregruntas and Brutes came up, I was able to focus them down with my militia and shooting units (Hold the Line does wonders), and when he finally got a charge off with a mob of Brutes, the Megaboss, and the Warchanter, I was able to gun down the Warchanter with supporting fire and hold my ground with the spearmen. Arcane Shield and Indomitable meant my spearmen had a 3+ save rerolling 1s, so they just didn't die. By the end of the game I'd tabled him and lost 23 state troops. My Pistoliers were going to burn his objectives but never needed to. Again, great dude to play against, but it was a pretty one sided game.     Game 3 was against Alan's Blades of Khorne. His army was absolutely huge, with massive mobs of 30 Bloodletters and Bloodreavers, 10 Blood Warriors, 5 Skullreapers, 3 Skullcrushers, a Herald of Khorne, Slaughterpriest, banner guy and the character from the AoS starter set. It was table quarters with 4 objectives total, and you'd get 1 point for each you controlled at the end of a turn. Again, I set up defensively and had him come to me - the starter set dude with the dog was leading the charge and got promptly ventilated by my handgunners, and I pulled off a double turn from the bottom of 1 into 2 where I unleashed boatloads of shooting and took one of his objectives with my Pistoliers. While he was able to take that objective back, it put me in the lead, diverted his forces, and I wasn't about to give up either of my objectives now that I'd killed about half his army. He tried to close with his Bloodletters only to get shot up by supporting fire, and I'd killed most of his army while only losing 5 Pistoliers. He fell back onto the objectives he had from there and tried to make me come to him. That was a bit of a mistake on my part, as even a block of 30 spearmen on the charge aren't gonna get much done. Without supporting fire, Hold the Line, or Wildform, they didn't do much except get murdered then have a bunch of guys run away. At that point I still had a solid lead, and the game was over. Again, a great opponent, but the matchup wasn't so good. He was looking up strategies on how to beat my army with Blades of Khorne during one of my turns and the prevailing strategy he found was "don't get matched up against them"   So at the end of the day I went 3-0 and I got first place! I'd never won a tournament before, and I felt kinda bad for mopping the floor so badly with my dudes. What would counter my army? I imagine a lot of wizard fuckery or other shooting would give it trouble but I don't really know AoS super well outside of my little bubble of people playing with Old World armies.

Your guns are great but threat range is short compared to some other shooting armies. And your heaviest hitting units are slow. Your opponents need to force you to move with long range shooting, or be able to charge their whole army at you (or over you with flying) from outside of your shooting range. Or deep strike some ranged units near you and try to snipe your general or take out gunners. A number of armies can do those things but turtling like that is uncommon in AoS and freeguild do it better than anyone probably.

Interestingly that faq mentions special rules that allow unitd to move as if it were the movement phase don't allow those units to use special abilities that happen in the movement phase. Sorry SRM I reckon your shooting abilities wouldn't trigger based on that logic

I have a mortarch kit that's going to be my next build and paint for fun thing. If I were to use it to make an AOS army, which mortarch would be fun? I think they all look great (even dumbass Mannfred) so I'm not that worried about picking one on looks, but it would be good to know which one supports an army well. I am leaning towards Neferata because I've seen that cool monstrous force she can support, but as usual I'm at a slight loss as to which direction to take. I've already got a decent number of grave guard, some blood knights and some regular skellies I bought ages ago and put together for fun if that educates which Mortarch will require less future outlay. Also I think the death book is coming out soon? Should I just wait on that? e: I want to keep it cheap and use the poo poo I've already got because I will likely get Necrons or some Empire guys to paint next. I'd still be down to buy 2-3 new models/boxes to round out a nice little force.

So waiting a couple weeks to find out what they do is a good idea. Currently as I have seen it reported. Neferata prefers Hordes and a defensive playstyle. Mannfred prefers more elite units and an offensive playstyle. And Arkhan likes to have backup wizards. This may all change with the upcoming book.
