Speaking of the box, the AoS launch event is running and they're going to talk about the box for an hour or so until they drop some new previews.

Really hope the battletomes are soon, Kruleboyz are kool but sitting around without a codex for a month or more is decidedly not kool

Since it would take me around two months to paint them, I'm okay with that.

Everything is Sinister


Nice to see some Goonhammer representation in the gallery of stuff on the stream.

Picked up my Dominion box and I figure I’ll get to it on an upcoming week off.

I nabbed a can of Runelord Brass for Yndrastra and I was wondering if it’d be a good undercoat for a copper colour? I posted my test model earlier in the thread and I figure since there’s some Runelord Brass details it’ll be a good timesaver.

Man my box is still pending on GW's site, thought I might get Dominion today or tomorrow but if it hasn't even shipped yet it's probably gonna be a week or more...

They just got mentioned, Orruk Warclans and Stormcast books. Will update when they drop a date.

No date yet sadly.

Live blog post with pictures. Guess we're just getting those reveals.

Turns out the stream hosts got their info wrong:

quote:

The new Orruk Warclans and Stormcast Eternals battletomes are available to pre-order in August. A third battletome will follow these in October – something a little more Chaos-flavoured, we hear. And this is just the beginning – there’s a lot in store for the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

Loving the look of these so far, especially the gator dragon thing. Crossing my fingers that the sloggoth and the Breaka-boss they showed a few weeks back both get the monster keyword.

Id also love to see some heavier infantry and cavalry but they already said there was more stuff coming so im not too concerned.

PlayOnTabletop is doing a live stream at 3pm PST today the 3rd, of their first ever game of AoS so it should be quite interesting. Hopefully Nick is playing.

That wouldn’t surprise me, Nurgle’s always been a big seller, and they’ve been using the same book for a while. Still would’ve liked Skaven to be the surprise chaos pick, but I hope they’re planning a larger updates for them soon. Someday it’ll happen…

Definitely happy about Nurgle getting a new book since they're so drat fun to paint, and I'd love for them to get a bit more unit variety on the human side (or at least make a mix of Blightkings and Blightgoyles actually viable). Just not a fan of the demon sculpts at all aside from the GUO and a few of the newer characters.

Unfortunately it's going to end up with them being all underpowered and crappy in like 6 months when all the other new book power creep leaves them in the dust, but ah well.

Yeah, and I mean part of it too is definitely that as much as players want balance, there is also kind of an expectation of each new book being bigger and better. At this point I've just resigned myself to it and I just hope they mix up the release order enough that every army gets to experience the feast and famine aspect of it.

Nurgle and Idoneth are probably the books most direly in need.

Gloomspite and Sylvaneth would be my priorities just because honestly those armies are borderline unplayable right now. Gitz were almost in a "not competitive, but still fun" place with the White Dwarf supplements, but right now both of those armies are honestly not even enjoyable to play.

But yeah there are quite a few books that need some drastic work. It'll be interesting to see how much all of this schedule backup from the Covid / Brexit tag-team affects everything.

Not gonna lie, the new gutrippaz and monster mounts are some of the first AoS original designs that I like.

Looking closer at the big monster I realized it looks way more like a giant komodo dragon rather than a gator

You're talkin' about what would basically be the most important model train layout of all time you realize.

This is even more fitting because the stream revealed that those creatures are so toxic that they make use of the Kruleboys faction power - and increase the number of mortal wounds it causes for themselves and anyone around them!

You know, like how komodo dragons have their rancid infection-inflicting bites!

Also we can see images of a Wyvern or something in the background of the new Orruk Warclans book.

I don't know why I'm surprised, but it still baffles me how poorly organized these launches are. I assumed they would have all this ready to go, pre-patch the apps with the updated points and flip the switch to turn it on today. They also haven't shipped my preorder rulebook I placed 6/19. I thought preorders were supposed to be release date delivery?

You see we need to get rid of the app that works just fine so we can give you a more expensive app that does the same thing

If this doesn't make sense, just know that this is a business decision and GW isn't subject to the whims of some nerd :smug:

Warscroll Builder is a fan-made tool that they decided to support and start hosting on their site in 2017. The creator, Tony Pacheco, isn’t full time GW, it’s just a side project for him.
