I understand I'm not the first to point it out, but, seriously, how hard is it to pay someone to do a bit of quality control for your very expensive box of plastic? Edit: Just to avoid any misunderstanding, I'm talking about the 3D model render in the manual where someone made a mistake of rendering both weapon options at the same time and somehow that never got caught all the way to the printer.

The Ogroid Theridon kit is so good, just a big, solid hunk of plastic that fits together perfectly. One of the best from games-workshop that I've assembled so far. I understand why they want to include it in so many value boxes now. Just wish it wasn't a bunch of drat ugly bull dudes.

After painting up the ten chaos warriors and moving on to chosen, I'm shocked. It's's kind of wild how the Chosen have less variety in detail and textures. The warriors also solved the giant shoulder pad problem by putting their capes over them. The 'eavy metal team had to put in some work doing weathering to give all those flat panels on the Chosen extra details, and painting the trim in like three colors or something.

1" range so you won't be wiping out double ranked units but good against models with high wounds I assume? Or is the range only used for attacking from the 2nd rank? Edit: Also just looked up inches to cm conversion and realized why 25mm bases were a thing. Lostconfused fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Feb 15, 2024 |

There's got to be at least 5 other chaos sorcerer models that games-workshop is selling, but they're in boxes that don't have "chaos sorcerer lord" written on them.

There's some high pitched squeak/squeal starting at 7 seconds. But the sprue for skaven leaked already, it's only a question of how many new models are they getting.

Al-Saqr posted:Does age of sigmar have secondaries and tactical objectives? Also why wouldn't more than one unit be able to charge into melee in 40K? There's wacky tournament strats involve charging two units into one and then consolidating them into another one, extending the potential movement and fighting range of one of your units that charged.

Going by what they're doing with 40K, they don't need to release books to release rules anymore. Maybe.

You can even just leave them out completely if you want – though some battlepacks will require them. It’s all part of making the game that existing players love more accessible to newer players.” So same as 40K 10th edition except they moved terrain into a separate PDF document or something. quote:“Modularity is born from the idea that Warhammer Age of Sigmar is much more than just a game,” continues Matt, the man in charge of the rules. “It’s essentially a platform that supports many types of games. People play Warhammer Age of Sigmar as a narrative experience, a competitive tournament game, at sizes ranging from huge mega battles with hundreds of miniatures to smaller format games like Spearhead, and everything in between.

I assume because like combat patrol all of that stuff will be written into your army specific spearhead rules. So they will only exist within the spearhead PDF file and you don't need to see them anywhere else, and also you won't need to know any of the army specific mechanics that exist outside of it.

# ¿ Mar 28, 2024 16:33 |

They give examples of how they expect people to combine the rules, and guess what, they expect almost every game to use all of the rules. The modular thing has to be an idea cooked up by someone in marketing.

Desfore posted:I guess all the management stuff is technically outside the Gameplay... But it changes your army roster. Yes, you do all your army building before you play the game so it's not part of the gameplay. Unless you're playing the spearhead which has a pre-built army for you, so you don't need all of the other modules at all.

I'm being overly negative here, but mainly because this has been my experience of trying to pick up 40K in the past half a year. Trying to learn the game and figure out how everything works felt to me like a bunch of the rules were hidden and I had to go look in three or four different places to find everything I needed to get a complete set of rules for the game. It didn't feel like the rest of the stuff was optional, it felt like key parts of the game were straight up missing and I had no idea why. The core rules only have one very limited game type in them, and it's never played anyway. So this whole modular thing seems like more of the same with empty marketing spin on top of it. It would be nice to see that games-workshop learned from the launch of 40K 10th edition and improved on it, but I personally don't have that expectation. Edit2: I'm not even saying it's going to be bad, I just don't think it's going to make all your wishes and dreams come true like some people are hyping it up to be. I'm sure the game will still be good as a 2000 point army vs army game that everyone played for years already. Lostconfused fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Mar 28, 2024 |

Hmmm, the ugly gold armor had more personality than this. Still keeping on the pauldrons and shield doesn't help either. I'm not convinced when people say this is a huge improvement over the original main color scheme.

It needs more color, it needs something. This looks better, at least colors wise, to me Maybe could have painted the knees in the blue and gold too or something. Maybe it looks better as a whole unit of these guys and they just picked the most unfortunate model to show it off.

Well to each their own I guess, art is subjective. I'd like to see the rest of the unit that this model is from though. The art for Hallowed knights and some paint models look much better than this one, I just don't get why they picked such a bland looking one for their first reveal.

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.
