Vaya con Sigmar my friend, but I hope it wasn't an important party cause I played the beta for this game and it wasn't great.

While I'm takeing a piss on skiping going out for a game so far this seems on par with DoW 2 and that is a game I enjoyed a lot (ofcourse I understand that ymmv and that one was controversial)

I would rather have them update 2ed sculpts as they had cool theme to them and do something other than 1st ed guys that in their roles are largely upset by thunderstrike

As a SCE player, please delete about half the SCE profiles and range. Don't fix it, just kill it.

I think you can keep most of the actual units but you could delete 3/4 of the heroes in the entire book and I don't think a single person would notice.

Why do you hate the dragons man?

IMHO they can just merge warscrolls - keep the old mini of the liberator but its just vanquisher with different weapon profile or something

Yeah why are the heavily amored golden guys riding buck naked dragons.

The stormcast monsters should have been giant stormcast golems and colossi

was having persistent performance issues, which doesn't help first impressions for a game, but realms of ruin seems pretty bad to me from the demo. not outright incompetent or anything but uh, well it's looks like this for one thing:



I know it's a swamp but good grief. there's a blue map later but it's not any better to look at.

the UI and unit control are both quite bad IMO. comes off extremely poorly in comparison to any part of DoW2, or really any of Relic's games aside from DoW3

¿por qué no los dos?

Also the dragons are animals even if they are intelligent, saying they're "naked" is like saying a dog or horse is naked

Guess I'm buying more Sylvaneth. Do you actually need the Dawnbringers book to run an Army of Renown, or do they publish those rules separately?

I think GW realises they were lagging behind on releases because they just turned on the hose, because next week is loaded.

We got the entire Cities of Sigmar line, both new and models from the army box in stand alone. And the tome on top of that.

Then there's the third Dawnbringers book, the Blacktalons, Cryptborn’s Stormwing, The Blades of Belthanos.

On top of that there's the stand alone release of Grimhold Exile and Harbinger of Decay.

I'm pleasently surprised they are doing Dawnbringers III now. Along with Cities and the Warcry stuff, it's going to be a very busy time for me these next few months.

Is there any point to have 3 Gothizzar Harvester? I already have two and can't really justify a third

I wanna get the OBR battleforce coming up because it contains things I don't have otherwise, or will need more of (20 mortek guard will bring me up to 40) but I just don't know if I need 3 harvesters in a 2000pt army

At this point it’s hard to justify two.

Ionus looks loving great, tho, 400 points but holy poo poo he’s good.

These seem less of a good value proposition than previous years, both in terms of available units and total price.

My store has the last Vampire Count box for sale still.

I take it this would be a better start for the army since it trades 40 zombies for 10 wolves and three bats?

The S2D box seems like a bad value proposition if you've bought any of the previous discount boxes like the vanguard, old start collecting or the codex release box. I have more Knights, Warriors and Chosen than I know what to do with. Could have at least replaced one of those three with some Varanguard, especially since Eternus is the leader of a traitor Varanguard circle secretly working for Be'lakor.

The old SBG box is one of the best boxes they ever put out, and zombies are unfortunately still one of the best units in the game. If you are interested in running SBG, and you aren't afraid of being That Guy, I would take the old box over this one ten times out of ten.

These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.



Kinda bummed they didn't do a box for Ironjawz - they got a bunch of new units and could have done a thematic box with the big pig and some Gore-gruntas. With the new Orruk vanguard box just being pure Kruleboyz on top of that, there's basically no way to save money buying IJ stuff.
