Does this mean they’re going to release 6 new boxed sets? With all 6 being Grand order death allies and 3 being SBGL makes it seem like a poor financial decision for them to do so, so I’m assuming no for now. Would be nice to get a discount on Ushoran but I don’t really need crypt guards 21-30

Spearhead being completely without magic and commands is interesting. Especially given they gave the FEC Spearhead a double caster leader. (Which tbf might not be a wizard at all in 4th who knows how the warscrolls shake out)

There’s going to be errata though. Not fixing a warscroll because they left off an ‘end of turn’ in the rules text of the printed version or something is just stupid and mistakes are gonna slip through. I feel like this is just some buzzword they are throwing out there to sell that new seasonal interactions with (most of) core rules can be written into the GHBs to supercede the old rules entirely. Unintended interactions that break things or ‘can this happen’ type stuff has got to stay online or you’re left with unfun things for 6 months to a year

Athas posted:I am considering geting into AoS this year. I want to build an army mostly consisting of a few large monster-ish units. From what I can see, I can actually build a Stormcast Eternal army consisting entirely of dragons, which can be extended with various other monster-looking cavalry or dragon-ish units. That sounds really cool. Any other monster armies I should consider? I don't care at all about these armies being good, as long as they are actually playable. Sons of Behemat can do a literal 4 figure army if you like big ugly giants. Flesh eater courts can do a monster mash with the Gristlegore sub faction and spam Zombie Dragons and Terrorgheists. There’s also quite a few armies out there that aren’t exactly all monsters but can have 75% of their points tied up in a few big heroes (sylvaneth, Ossiarch Bonereapers, anything with Nagash). Herohammer is real and it is everywhere Blasmeister fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Mar 30, 2024 |

It seems fairly simple. Too many heroes and you’re losing priority, too few and you’re losing priority and command points. Does seem to favour ‘elite’ armies and there’s not really much incentive to building ‘against the grain’ as it were. Wonder if manifestation lore is what endless spells are getting changed to

The whole model issuing command ranges and command points assigned only on one model things came up so rarely that I'm glad it's all getting scrapped. Redeploy changes gonna make blocking movement lanes harder but also make deep strikes way less effective as they can now be reacted to. Unleash hell rework seems interesting. on the one hand you can't prevent the double shooting by not charging, but also you can choose which unit gets shot at by making sure the least important guys are slightly in front. The whole declare-react-do ordering seems a little murky still. Does any rolling happen in the declare step? If not, does that make Forward to Victory something you have to pay for before you do the charge roll and potentially waste a point on?

Desfore posted:Rules as written, Forward to Victory is a Reaction Command, and you would have to use & resolve that effect before resolution of the original Charge. Now, we don't know what the rule-book text of Charge is going to be in this edition yet, if the dice roll is part of declaration or part of the effect. If you go back to Nagash's warscroll and look at "Invocation of Nagash" the casting roll is done during the Declaration step of casting the spell. So if that indicates how rolls work for abilities in 4e, you won't have to pre-emptively use Forward to Victory before rolling the charge. Yeah I’m hoping that’s the case but it’s weird to see it right alongside the ‘don’t roll for running’ command that would imply the run dice roll is in the resolve part of the action. Doesn’t seem all that standard so far.

Al-Saqr posted:What are endless spells? The minis on the store page look super awesome but im curious what their role in the game is. Physical representations of spells cast by wizards that do various things like move around the table causing damage, or confer effects to the area around them. They have a points cost like a unit, and if you have one in your list every wizard in your army has the ability to cast it. Enemy wizards/priests can try to remove existing endless spells in later turns. Most factions get 3 unique ones and there are a bunch of unaligned ones any army can include that came in with the current season of matched play.

Sharkopath posted:Whats the difference between vanguard and spearhead boxes? From the various promo pictures GW has put out including one where the stormcast(?) spearhead is set up battling the nurgle vanguard, it appears that they are planning to do spearhead rules for many of the existing vanguard boxes. So functionally there isn’t a difference. If they bring out a spearhead box to replace the vanguard box for a faction before 4th launches though, they might not support the old one. Skaven is the most likely candidate for this treatment. Also they might not bother to support the BoC box.

Safety Factor posted:1/2" coherency? May as well be on movement trays at that point. half inch coherency at least stops some of the 'well technically 25mm bases are less than an inch so they I can move this unit through the gaps in my elite units' or 'actually 20 hobgrots in a single line is coherent' stuff that felt like exploits in 3rd. movement trays sound like a reasonable pickup in future for my crypt ghouls though. Shooting in combat being reduced, and 'whoops my pile in took your guys out of combat now you don't get to fight' taken away also seems good. And the charge reroll is in fact working exactly like it used to, seemed super weak read the other way so that's a relief. Blasmeister fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Apr 17, 2024 |

grassy gnoll posted:. Unbinding is made against your opponent's actual casting roll, instead of the casting value of a spell. Isn’t this the case now? The power level stuff basically just seems to be language cleaned up to account for the command reaction spell-casting in enemy turns, trying to unbind a spell cast in your turn uses up one of your regular casts (and vice versa for the opponent). And if I get the ordering of things correct you would cast all your spells before the opponent chooses whether to try to cast in your hero phase so now you have to maybe give up on a potential cast to leave an unbind free to hedge against an opponent trying to get another spell off.

grassy gnoll posted:On a re-read, I don't think you're spending points - the primary way you can lose ritual points seems to be if you flub your chant. quote:For example, a Slaughterpriest can choose to unleash the Witchbane Curse to weaken an enemy WIZARD once they’ve gathered 4+ ritual points… or hold out for a chanting value of 8+ to also deal three mortal damage to the target. From the article, I think the phrase 'holding out' strongly implies you're spending the points when you cast or you'd simply cast any version you had access to while still building up points over time. Endless spells now being 'free' for your army might make malign sorcery/forbidden power a sensible purchase, if you have more than 1 army especially. Every army with wizards is now gonna be taking either their factions endless spells or a subset of the generic spells to every game Blasmeister fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Apr 19, 2024 |

Al-Saqr posted:Sorry is this spell casting thing like psychic attacks in 40k? Ritual points are they command points for spell asters? Can someone explain to me? Im not familiar at all with how different this is feom 40k psychic attacks, Endless spells werent a thing this edition? Those spell models look pretty cool. Endless spells in 3rd were basically units you put in your decklist with a points value, and if you have one in your list any of your wizards can try to cast it. This is again changing in 4th to 'pick a set list of endless spells for your wizards to be able to summon'

I actually looked at that chaos tactic as one of the easiest out there. 2 charges in 1 turn, only 1 of which has to be onto a controlled point and flipping it like you were likely wanting to do anyway seems a lot easier to fit into a game plan than ‘make sure you have units out of combat and mobile enough to get wholly within each quarter and your opponent doesn’t countercharge or redeploy to within 6” and wreck your poo poo.’

Enough there for me to pull the trigger on a box of Malign Sorcery. 4 lores worth in a set and with it being ground up reworks there's sure to be something playable among them. Forbidden Power and the Incarnate def more a wait and see cause that's way less value. Interesting they're letting the Incarnate of Ghur stick around despite its ties to the the old story and people's general lack of enthusiasm for the model and rules. Maybe we'll get another swing at the rules for that now they can model it as a 'real' unit just as an Endless Spell alone. Maybe they're going to bring in a new one for Ashqy at some point.

Ravendas posted:I was checking Amazon, there's a box on there, specifically labeled as Skaven Endless Spells, with what looks like some lightning spires, a rat swarm and some magic bell. For $60. I think the current summon tree spell only summons one individual tree at a time (but also you start with a full triple as faction terrain on the board under current rules too so two boxes does seem somewhat likely to be needed). Still, I’d probably prefer that to most of the summoning armies in the game where you basically need to keep an entire army list in reserve if you want full flexibility for spending summon points. Looking at it as how close it takes you to getting to 2k points for an army yeah it can be dispiriting but the models themselves are really cool and at least you have the possibility of just saying gently caress it and using the same incarnate for every one of your armies if you really want to save cash
