I think Gutter Runners could come back later on, but not in the Launch Box. Shocked Nightrunners are sticking around.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they bring back some of the more impactful units as remastered versions, but then I feel they’ll just be doubling down on outrage. “You told me I couldn’t play with my Sacrosancts, so I burned them all, and now you’re releasing ‘Sacrosancts but a little taller’?!”

Hot take on the gutter runners: they forgot about night runners and they're both going away. We'll get new Eshin units in about a year as part of a GHB, and they'll be heavily influenced by the Total War units like death runners and triads, maybe Even the return of the Eshin wizard.

Geisladisk posted:The only things not getting new models of the Skaven models announced as retired today are Gutter Runners, Censer Bearers, Rat swarms,.and giant rats. Everything else isn't being removed, just getting new models. This is according to leaks that have been 100% right so far, including with boc getting removed. I’d be interested in reading these - where are they posted?

 This was my local 2019 Armies on Parade entry for AoS. Most of these are now Legends. In 40k context, this is like the firstborn marines getting removed just on a much shorter timescale than anyone expected. The SCE range is huge and bloated to the point where it stopped making sense. There were multiple heroes and successive units that all filled the same role. A reduction was needed but this was entirely the fault of GW just pumping out releases. I know its weird to complain about your army constantly getting new units and army options all the time but most of them were ineffective or low power on the table. I collect what I enjoy but SCE was just too much. The sad thing about the Sancrosanct Chamber (AoS2.0) models is that they were never really any good at any point and now just get quietly put down. It still sucks but I had a ton of enjoyment from my SCE army through making and playing it. I am keeping the models because I put a lot of time into them and enjoy them! Will I stay collect/play SCE going forward? I do like the newer models and bought a bunch of the dragons without playing them much. It depends on whether the new edition is fun or not (the edition's poster faction seems to be the Hallowed Knights which is my faction). Just annoyed resignation really.

edit: beaten The very first thing on the Nagash one annoys me. They just get done telling you about the unversal symbols they'll use, then use a symbol that isn't listed, along with an effect that will impact something that isn't defined on the warscroll.

I know they had some insanely damaging units but trying to kill anything with Liberators in 3rd was impossible. Edit:beaten

Wtf is "Power Level" in regards to stats? Is that a new term for Wizard Levels, cause that's the only number on his Warscroll that isn't explicitly named in the article, that I could understand changing in the middle of a game.

Why doesn't Nagash's Hand of Dust just work on a 4+? Having your opponent pick a hand seems needlessly complicated -- for what, a bit of interactivity?

Mechanically basically the same but tense and psychologically entertaining. “What’s the most you ever lost on a coin toss?”, that sort of thing. Fitting for Nagash but wouldn’t necessarily want to see it everywhere.

At least it's quick and easy to resolve. The real test will be what happens with Slaanesh, which ideally will be jettisoning temptation into the sun.

Renaming wounds to health but then keeping health and damage the model taken as separate terms, what are you even doing? Was making things simpler not the point here? Also you'd think a critical bit of gameplay information like a ward save would get a big bar up top like in 40K instead of being hidden somewhere at the bottom among the keywords.

AnEdgelord posted:https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/04/05/the-anatomy-of-a-warscroll-in-the-new-edition-of-warhammer-age-of-sigmar/ That warscroll says the models have "a Warhammer" and no mention of shields. Is it just going to be up to the modeler to dual wield or shield up some guys or is "liberators with shields" going to be a different profile to reference?

It's probably going to he a crunch down thing like with 10e. Liberators just have a "warhammer" weapon, and it doesn't matter what the model has on.

which you already have with some 3rd ed units, like Blood Knights having no difference between lance and sword. But it does indicate that these special "1 in 5 may have" kinds of weapons will be sticking around as distinct profiles. Not that there's many of them though. Ossiarch troops have them, stormcast, I think some chaos units?

A pity they're to be dumping Liberators with sword and shield. Unless they're now named something different in another kit down the line.
