I thought pretty much everything about AoS was dumb when it launched, but the more work they put into it the better it gets. It's moving up the list of games I really want to start pretty quickly.

ghosties look neat but yawn more sigmarines. i guess constantly pushing their lovely mary sue faction as hard as they have been works on certain people

also legit wondering if the deepkin book that just released will be compatible with the new edition


JBP posted:

Yeah I bought that book and an akhelian king...

They said that everything is compatible and nothing is being re-released, but there's a new General's Handbook coming out so I assume stuff is subject to change and might be better or worse depending on how big the systems changes are (the trailer mentioned no shooting out of combat, is that a big deal for any of the units?).

Stormcast faction focus is up, goes into the Sacrosanct models.

I dig the warscroll they previewed, a wizard suicide bomber.

Are those the Alchemy paints? I'm not sure if they're meant to be mixed or are just colored metallics to stand on their own.

I think the alchemy paints are specific paints that come in each set that are meant to be mixed in with the others for different tones.

They're also selling all the shadespire warbands without the cards and giving them rules for use in AoS. They don't seem too awful, either.

Is that a command point a turn or once a game

It's ambiguous, but given the warscroll batallion bonus is only on the first turn I imagine this is similarly one extra point per game.

I bought a box of black orks a decade ago, for a 40k conversion. I've been out of the games since then.

If I was to paint 'em up for Sigmar, what would they count as?

Ironjawz, probably.

I hope it is more like, "Oh, my Khaine Cult is from the Beast Universe, so the Slaughter Priest has this rad magic club."

The more stuff they put out, the more I assume the realm rules are for narrative games as opposed to matched play. That way you'd theoretically know what realm you're fighting in before hand because it's part of a story.

Maggotkin generate Contagion Points and already have summoning rules to use them. 21pts for a GUO for instance. Up to now though, they'd also require reinforcement points so no one used them.

Death doesn't have an alternate points system in LoN though. Not sure how they will work.

The LoN article is up and it's just the Endless Legions ability, but you can use it as many times in a turn as you want to spend command points on it

I don't think you should hope too hard for the faction allegiances to get changed. GW probably doesn't see it as a problem like we do, or even if they do they'd rather just sell you old models until new stuff comes out.

Basically the pics from all the stuff for the new starter set is out except the books.

Same number of miniatures as the old starter basically, but much better done, particularly the Death characters.

Hopefully it'll still be £75.

Depending on the points cost, I might switch my Stormcast battleline from all Liberators to a mix of Liberators/Sequitors. A 4+ rerollable save sounds pretty ok as long as they're not standing in front of something with high rend.

Is there anything in the current starter set that won’t be purchasable from GW as a separate kit when the starter set is replaced? I’m thinking like all the unique kits in Dark Vengeance (heavy weapon cultists, monopose Helbrute, Chosen)

You currently can't buy Lord Relictors on the Stormcast end, IDK about the Khorne stuff.

Depending on how well the box set sells though, you need to be OK with only getting $50 per side. It didn’t take long at all for Dark Imperium armies to hit that price.

Maybe it's because the Sigmar starters are old, but I had a hell of a time getting the Stormcast half of that box for under 60. I just recently lucked out and got two halves shipped for around ~100.

The legions of nagash book says you can only take units in that book but the dev team mentioned that you will be able to use “most” of the nighthaunt units there so I assume there will be rules to that effect in their book or a faq or something
