I found em whilst looking for Idoneth lists and stayed cos it's like watching very old chimpanzees throw poo poo everywhere. Edit:For actual concent, I do like that they've silo'd competitive rules into these "Battlepacks". It allows people who want to make their own competitive rules to package things up in a clean way, and gives people the ability to tweak from the core rules as a starting point.

I love their teeth and the expressions you've captured with your paint job. Fantastic work! Has anyone heard about rumours about miscasts being added to the game with this edition?

Danimo posted:a unit of 15 Chaos Warriors would just be 1 Reinforced unit, allowing you to take 3 more reinforced units (in a 2k game). You reinforced the warriors twice, because they are battleline, but they are still just one unit. Nah, it explicitly says reinforcing twice (so 15 models, not just 10) counts the same as reinforcing two units once each.

That's an interesting Arcane Bolt change. Casting it gives you a charge that lasts until your next hero phase. You can spend it at the start of any phase to plink a unit within 12" for a MW, or within engagement range for D3, and its no longer closest enemy. So it actually has a sorta clear role as a way to disincentivize chargers and a small boost to wizard's close combat abilities.

 So it sounds like horde army players might not have to worry, if this is correct they're increasing the min size of big units.

As a Skaven player, it was the only thing I was worried about. I think it is just visually fun to have a few swarms of clan rats and stormvermin charging up the board so I'd hate to lose it.

Clanrats are already min 20 and max 40 so it shouldn't affect them too much. Stormvermin are currently min 10 and max 40 so they'd have to be tweaked.

Stormvermin are easy as going to 20 to 40 like Clanrats makes sense. If it its something like 20 to 30 to 40, that will make the reinforcement limits more interesting.

In anticipation of Dominion, I decided to paint my first Stormcast. Behold! I decided to take cues from that Paladin of the Common Man idea, and they're going to be a host formed of ordinary people who opposed tyranny in life before reforging and continue to do so in their new forms. Many a corrupt Burgomaster have had their cities rescued, only for their saviors to inspect the lives of the downtrodden citizens and promptly remove them from office in favour of giving power to the people (preferably without force, but in instance a particularly egreious individual was defenestrated. He did survive, although whether the defenestrator was aiming for the pile of manure when she threw is still unclear). Now to see if old Salamanders transfers will fit on Stormcast shoulderpads. The [insert descriptor here] Drakes will liberate the free peoples! I'm slightly worried the colour scheme might be read as a bit too Khornish but overall I'm happy with it.

New ossiarch rules on warhammer community has them generating their special points based on how many heroes and warscroll battalions which we know are distinct from the new core battalions Im starting to think the old battalions arent going away, especially now that Im thinking about how much of the broken realms content was new battalions

The alternative is that they're just using the wording in the current Battletome, and the new matched play rules won't allow warscroll battalions, which would be very funny and also be something in need of correction.

The Cupreous Drakes don't necessarily play well with other Stormhosts. Oddly enough, while there's a degree of friction with the Tempest Lords, they can at least (very) grudgingly respect their practicing what they profess to believe, unlike many mortal nobles, and their willingness to put themselves in harm's way. They do not like the Knights Excelsior (but then, who does?).

 You know there are people who tell me to my face that all Stormcast are drumcircle feminist hippies?The Cupreous Drakes are a lot of fun though. I'm imagining a bunch of nobles having a small party with some nice cakes during a siege and suddenly a Drake kicks down the door. The nobles brace themselves for a thorough thrashing or yet another lecture, but instead the city's poor and hungry are led through the door. Beds are appropriated for the little ones. The banquet hall is turned into an infirmary. The kitchen stops wasting resources on fine cakes and starts putting out loaves of bread. All of this with the same level of objection Bilbo put up with Thorin's Company raiding his larder. The noble finds he is well compensated if he keeps his mouth shut. If not...well.. --------------------------------------- These narrative play rules sound wicked loving sick, though. The idea of having a bit of an RPG in your game, with quests, strongholds, lands you conquered....it's pretty cool. It sounds like you, an enterprising Warhammerer, could possibly combine AoS with the Soulbound RPG if you were so inclined TheDiceMustRoll fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Jun 13, 2021 |

So far, the best thing I've seen about 3rd edition is the rulebook itself. Each rule subsection is individually numbered, and keywords are highlighted.

Universal traits let me make a big stupid custom Hero for funzies, which is nice. I mean who really cares if someone makes a flying Priest-Wizard? It's not going to break the game, but it's a laugh.

Battleline is still in the game - it mentions it in the pitched battles section (25.0, 25.5). We've seen a glimpse what the default Matched Play rules look like and that still applies. The "Commander, Troop, Monster, or Artillery" distinction is for the Core Battalions, and I don't think it's terribly good wording considering the Battlefield Roles are still a thing. I should really get on with that 3.0 thread, huh?
