New starter looks to be sigmarines vs death.

Death model looks great, Sigmarine looks a lot less mediocre than the previous iterations.

The mostly gold colour scheme still does them no favours. A lot of the original models look great in turquoise or maroon or anything else really.

The only sigmarines that look good IMO are the ones done up to look like stone golems.

The promo image for the live blog has a cool lady Sigmar with tattoos and I'm down for that. I'm also down for AoS 2 but I'm not feeling the Sigmarine in the apron.

Both new armies look amazing. As usual it's the rules that will be the big deal though. Sounds like this also incorporates GH2018 points updates.

As the harbingers for death and order are confirmed previews for the new armies, does that mean we will be getting new grots and, uh, norse armies next?

Goddamn it I'm gonna be buying cool wizard ladies and lightning bows. Stormcast having no war machines natively was such a weird thing when the Ordinator dropped.

Also glad to see GW has remembered how to be goofy when they need to. "The hell I can't!"

Breathe.

I thought pretty much everything about AoS was dumb when it launched, but the more work they put into it the better it gets. It's moving up the list of games I really want to start pretty quickly.

I got into it initially just to collect and paint some sky dwarves and then whoops I'm suddenly having a lot of fun playing it too. I really like how radical the army abilities are compared to 40k, my main game. Stuff like tzeentch destiny dice and the nurgle/sea elf cycles allow the armies to play really fluffily.

Everyone did. It was a terrible game that was half assed and not ready for prime time. NuGW has done a great job of listening to people though, and rectifying their mistakes.

I'm wondering if the rules will still be four pages in the new edition, of if they have realized that's not really possible.

The designer on the announcement trailer just straight up says “no shooting out of combat” which I’m excited about.

Now they just need to change the first turn to what 40k has now (+1 to roll off for finishing deployment first) and that will be most of the changes I want.

Those Nighthaunt models look amazing. As a DoT player, looking forward to unleashing roving purple balls of death across the field. Like a more expensive version of the templates of old.

Yeah those models are sick. I'm tempted just by the fact that I can paint them with almost nothing but glazes.

Nighthaunts are gonna be a good starter army because it's so easy to cheat painting them with a white spray, some green shade and a thinner. Plus, spoopy ghosts!

Dunno if I'd shell out the the spell templates, but I hope there'll be some easy templates on card or something to use. Or, if not, I'll make my own.
