For Cities of Sigmar except Har Kuron, they’re Coalition units so you can use them as part of your one in four SCE units but can’t be General. Anyone else has to ally them in, which works for…most Order armies, but they can’t take Enhancements or be your General so Krondys doesn’t get a spell, and in Matched Play there’s ally points limits.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjpRi1B-ugk Looks like the video for the new Warcry teaser came up before the article itself. We're getting spiders. Or at least a spider-themed team. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/10/18/this-new-warcry-fighter-loves-spiders-so-much-he-made-one-into-a-horrifying-mask/ And there's the article.

Randalor posted:What are the rules on running them in other Order armies? Actually went and checked, and the only Order armies that cannot ally SCE are Lumineth and Daughters. Your big problem is a 2000 point game has a 400 point limit in Matched Play on allies under the current battlepack, and both dragons cost 600 each. So no go in tournaments. In Path to Glory it’ll be fine to take them as allied units, though they’re hella expensive and can’t be your warlord.

They fixed relictors translocation, so you can't move after teleport (with was obviously intended from the beginning)

JBP posted:I haven't read the FAQ but social media is telling me that all dragon armies are now completely useless and relictors should be thrown in the bin. The command trait that makes monsters better now only works on Behemoths, so if you have dragon Battleline they don’t get it. E: the old trait was -1 to wound rolls from melee attacks against all SCE Monsters while the general is a Monster and alive, it now references Behemoth battlefield role instead of Monster keyword.

Covermeinsunshine posted:I honestly need to piss off from facebook aos groups because reading takes from people who can't figure out how to use teleport after bug fix hurts It’s weird because it’s very clearly just a fix to let it work like, say, how the innate graph charger teleport does, where the teleport counts as the move. You can still charge after doing it, you just can’t teleport then move again. It’s still useful.

Covermeinsunshine posted:I honestly need to piss off from facebook aos groups because reading takes from people who can't figure out how to use teleport after bug fix hurts Not reading online communities for any kind of game is a pretty good rule of thumb. Literally every game I've ever enjoyed has a hugely toxic and negative community that won't shut up about how the game is the worst thing ever and will inevitably die a slow death very soon. So now I just don't read them and play games and have fun. SA is just about the only exception to this.

IMO the Battleline dragons in Hammers are good enough that they don’t actually need to also have constant -1 to wound rolls against them, so it’s nbd.

Marmaduke! posted:I wonder if all the Cathay lore in Total War will lead into the Dragon Emperor becoming Dracothian (dragon dude that brought Sigmar to the realms) to link the old and the new... I was pondering that myself. Given that Cathay is likely getting minis for The Old World making Dracothian and the Dragon Emperor one and the same would provide a good background lore for them being used in AOS.

The sound of exploding anuses would reach High Azyr itself and bring a smile to God-Kings face. There was a lot of anger already when they presented Cathay, and it was high fantasy all around (also a lot of WoW and kung fu panda references)

As an Old, I found the reaction sad and confusing. Like what, you wanted Cathay's roads paved with the bones of peasants? The place has always been high as gently caress magic. Now the floating islands in the old illustrations finally have a home.

One of the only things keeping me on FB is the AoS groups, but as you say, for every positive post about your faction, there's about 3-5 incredibly negative sky is falling ones. Maybe it's time for a cull.

I am genuinely confused about that. “Looks like WoW” has become the go-to insult for fantasy-aesthetic-I-don’t-like in a lot of places. I’m guessing it’s because of the fantasy China thing, which was also the theme for a WoW expansion.

The faction set in China, that draws heavily from feudal Chinese army imagry, in a game from a company who just recently(-ish) released a game based off of one of the oldest Chinese novels set in China... and they say it looks like WoW because Blizzard had a joke character in one game and an expansion set in fantasy China once. I would ask if these people are so broke-brained that they have to say it looks like WoW to say they don't like something, but I already know they are. I'll even give them the benefit of doubt (lord knows why) and assume they don't like it for a reason that isn't "we're actually racist but don't want to say that's why we dislike it".

I will admit that I’m somewhat worried about Cathay…but mostly because of Forge World, which is the branch of GW I trust the least on any kind of racial issue.

They’re in the app already, so. On the other hand you do still have to track each individual member, though for Xandire’s that’s only three of them.
