Just got back from getting paints and there are FIVE copies of Looncurse on the shelf priced 20% under retail. Wild.

My bad; it’s only 10% (most everything else is 15-20 off) but still.

Huh, this seems pretty interesting. So they are creating two new "armies" composed entirely of existing models? I kind of like the idea, at least insofar as it would probably help some of the smaller allegiances have more to work with than the limited models currently at their disposal.

Seems in line with the city rules from the campaign boxset.

He’s probably an endless spell but it’d be great if Lauchon the Soul Seeker was a new undead hero unit.

Seems like they're finally rolling Nighthaunt into Legions of Nagash properly, which is good, and also validating my choice of having both Stormcast and Idoneth at the same time. Now to ad Kharadron and Fyreslayer start collecitng sets... :homebrew:

I have both nighthaunt and LoN armies but lean more toward LoN and the two armies are just different enough in unit composition to be frustrating. I am excited.

The cool rear end boat spell was revealed in the video; it can be set up near a unit then teleports that unit somewhere else on the board, but costs a 'toll' of a slain model from that unit.

The Chronomatic Cogs in particular are auto-include if you use a Slann.

As far as value goes, I got the box on sale for like $50 and am pretty happy with it. The book has some cool lore and battle plans in it, and the models themselves are not super great quality but are fun to paint and look good on the tabletop.

Do you reckon GW gets frustrated that their "starter boxes" just get picked up by people already in the hobby on day one and then chopped down and sold to other people that are already in the hobby? I guess the basic ones are always available but Looncurse going immediately seems to defeat the point of it existing. Or is it just to get people started in another army, idk.

I think the boxes are targeted at established players over new player acquisition. There’s been more than a little research to support the idea that a consumer that has more than one army has higher commitment to the game than someone that has one. Might even be why they’re focusing a bit on 1000 point games at the moment. You can do 1000 point armies relatively cheaply so you might be tempted to pick up multiple armies at that level.

Cross-postin' from the painting thread. This is my first dude in my first ever Age of Sigmar army. Next on the agenda will probably be some Liberators because hitting things with hammers is rad.

Thank you! It’s just Agrax instead of Reikland, but I refer the browner tone that results.

Pretty neat. Is the underlying lore suggestion of friction between Sigmar and Teclis also new?

Sigmar wasn’t happy when the elven Gods and Morathi banded together to capture Slaanesh so it’s not entirely new, this is just a further symptom.

I think High Elves have been relegated to regular elves you encounter across the realms by this point but don't quote me on that.
