Arven posted:Thank gently caress they're on normal-rear end horses. I've been waiting years for this refresh and was worried they'd put all the cavalry on lizards or something. This horse: Winklebottom posted:This guy wasn't part of the leak, was he? Is a really loving good horse. They really nailed the body language and movement of a horse picking it's way down some rough terrain. It's cool to see a warhammer horse that isn't just running on a empty field. edit: Plus the movement of the horse's tail, mane, cloak, and banner really sells the impression of them having a strong wind to their back. Just a real good model all around.

From all the leaked stuff I've seen it does look like fusiliers by a truckload are the way to go. Or dark elfs if you are fancy mofo

I haven't watched any of the Blacktalon stuff, but that looks like a pretty neat Warcry/Underworlds warband. We need more warbands with different factions mixed together, screw how awkward that'll be porting it over to proper AoS!

The Church Unberogen and the Cult of the Wheel have conferred and agreed that “of” is not, ontologically speaking, a word, but rather a connective element representing the divinity of Sigmar, so we’re good.

The judgement of Ghal Maraz is about as threatening as a strong breeze unless you want to wait until round three, at which point it's about as nasty as an ant bite. I'd take my chances, personally.

Riding my mutant Shetland through the halls of Space Station Sigmar, throwing rude gestures and causing a generalized fracas. Big Sig locks himself in his office in a panic, then immediately sets about making a new, better, more heroic form of hall monitor, the Sigmar Safety Sigmar Patrol Sigmars.

I seem to recall a lot of hype about their all-dragon armies. Assessor of Maat posted:this specifically Thank you, and to everyone else who commented! I can't imagine those designs worked very well, it would be so difficult to get full obduration of the breech. Must be why they went back to muzzle loaders. Still, really interesting that GW have done some research instead of just winging it.

Dragons were more of a problem before they removed their Hero phase move, but they're still fairly strong. I don't see them frequently, though. Given the new season, I imagine dragons will still show up occasionally, but not be nearly as popular as they were in their heyday.

But SCE primarily suffer from having maybe half a dozen actually good units and being designed with really early assumptions about how the game works in 3rd edition that didn't pan out. Vindictors are a pretty good profile in a vacuum. Let's hypothetically cut them down to 100 points a unit. Even then, would you take 200 points of Vindictors over 200 points of zombies, given the option?

Atg some point in I think 40k 9th edition they had to come out with a Space Marines 2.0 codex to try and bring them up some. I dunno if they'll bother with that with 4.0 being so close. This is definitely one of the big downsides of the codex/battletome system - if a faction really falls behind GW won't do much to rectify the problem because people have printed books out there. They'll adjust points or put things in the battlescroll, but you have to wait whole editions for any reworks or major buffs/nerfs.

That was 8th when they did a double space marine codex. LRL got two in second but I think the second one just added units and didn't change anything. But yeah, GW overestimates how much they can change things with just points.

But yeah, GW overestimates how much they can change things with just points. You have to admit it’s pretty funny that LRL had three books in three successive years. In that same time span Beasts of Chaos, Slaves to Darkness, Ogor Mawtribes and Gloomspite Gitz got a grand total of 0 books between them.

Covermeinsunshine posted:I do not love it - it adds more separation between races and return fire sounds unhealthy to me I don't understand what you mean by separation of the races? It seems cool to me. Return fire seems like it will function as a "don't shoot this unit" ability that armies will need to play around. Sucks for KO I guess but they'll just have to dedicate all the guns to wiping out the target, as usual.
