Seems like the base increase in general is 10 points for units, 5 for heroes, a lot more for named heroes. Everything else is balance adjustment.

No. 1 Juicy Boi posted:Dang, Alarielle got a +140 bump, putting her at 740 points now Yeah all the big centerpiece models got a big hike. Teclis is 740 as well. Of course he's still insanely good. The funniest thing they did to Lumineth is make the Loreseeker (can deploy almost anywhere, automatically captures an objective if he's within 9") not unique anymore. That's gonna need an errata or something because otherwise there's going to be some serious Aelf Bullshit. But hey, now I can give a Loreseeker an artifact and with the Flaming Weapon spell active give him an attack profile similar to a bloodthirster. Although now that I look at some of the battleplans, objectives seem like they're being de-emphasized a bit so it might not be that bad.

TheDiceMustRoll posted:still able to get everything at 12pm pst here. looks like they werent lying about having lots of stock. this aint no cursed city lol It's just a function of AoS not being as popular as 40k probably, a friend who handles some orders said they got fewer pre-orders than they thought, but it was still pretty decent. This is one of those no-win arguments where either GW is dead because they can't meet demand, or they're dead because they are able to meet demand and there's surplus boxes floating around.

I remember Dark Elves being able to sweep an army on T1 with a single spell, or some similar nonsense. I can summon a bunch of angry nerds with the power phrase "Banner of the World Dragon" yeah spellcasting was wild, and anything that made you immune to it was even nastier.

That's a great scheme. I think the High Warden is one of my favourite models in the Lumineth range (although there are a ton I like). Pretty nice that our champions are really great. I'm finishing up some sentinels and pretty excited to tackle the High Sentinel and her Bird.

Desfore posted:All the super glue will become fragile, but you would still have to break the bonds. So, if you freeze it, the model will hang together, but it won't be as solid as it was before. Z the IVth posted:What the other guy said but also not all joins will separate easily. If the surface area is large, complex and tight fitting you might not be able to impart enough shear to the joint to fracture the glue before material failure (for plastic/resin kits). Thanks! I did some subassembly on my dawnrider bannerman which was a mistake because the glued banner-holding arm is in a position such that the bottom of the banner pole is bent against his foot. Wanted to fix that somehow -- it'd suck to freeze it since it's fully assembled, so I may just have to accept that it's going to be like that.

I sold some of my old High Elves stuff through a miniswap discord. There may be an increase in demand because of the eventual release of the Old World but that's years away. Tomb Kings is out of print as far as I know, so that also might increase its value. But basically: if it's in a blister you can probably sell it for its MSRP. If it's assembled and unprimed, probably 80-90% If it's primed 60-70% And if it's painted, probably 40-50%. If it's painted to a very high standard you can sometimes get more, but it depends.

Loreseeker is back to being unique again.  to the dream where he could have a 5+ ward save or a blade of leaping goldWhat a journey it's been from people freaking out about the hero being meta-warping at the end of 2.0 to being pretty much forgettable now.

Honestly the Lumineth one isn't bad, except for the Bannerblade. The original battleforce or whatever isn't worth the money anymore anyway so this is solid. You get a decent set of infantry and cavalry, the Lord-Regent is a good hero, the Ballista is fine. Only thing really missing are Sentinels and a Cathallar. I guess the bladelords don't really make a ton of sense since there's no Scinari in that box to bodyguard. Dreylad fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Nov 19, 2021 |

I never paid attention to the dragons and holy poo poo their warscrolls are insane. The really good news in that rebalancing article is that AoS is getting the same quarterly rebalancing efforts as 40k which is great.

Having played some Necromunda back in the day, the narrative stuff can be really compelling because it's less competitive and more about telling a story which is fun. I'd like to play the game but I haven't been able to since I got back into the hobby with the Lumineth box nearly two years ago

The Deleter posted:I feel like either someone at GW loving loves these stupid high elves, they have no idea what to do with them, or both. The lead designer of AoS apparently did all the lore for the Lumineth so it may be both. To be fair I think part of the issue was Covid hosed up the roll out so that there was supposed to be a few years between 2nd and 3rd edition books, but I'm still almost embarrassed by how many units are available to me compared to most armies.

Nash posted:Having three books in three years. Does this point to lumineth just selling like crazy? Seems odd when other armies haven’t had books for a bit. It's probably just COVID but iirc someone summarizing the 2020 GW shareholders report said Lumineth did sell really well. That's a pretty good box of Aelfs, the hero is I guess a generic version of the Direchasm leader but I like the model better and all the units are good-to-great, especially with the new focus on infantry as bladelords and dawnriders both deal well with large units.

I don't think sentinels need many changes at this point. They've seen a couple of point hikes and don't do a ton of damage even though they obviously have great range and can ignore LOS. The problem is the Lambent Light spell that makes them much more effective.

If they'd done Lumineth vs Vampires or something and delayed the release of both armies until 3rd it probably would have sold like crazy.

Nash posted:I don’t play AoS but like looking at the cool models. I sort of follow this thread. Having said this am I wrong in that the the High Elves or whatever they are called are getting a third book in as many years? What the hell? Covid split the initial release in two, and thus they released two books. One with the first half in 2020, the second with Broken Realms: Teclis in 2021, and then also released the complete battletome at the same time as the Broken Realms book. Then they did 3rd edition and decided that I guess Lumineth should get a fairly early battletome release. But yeah, it's pretty wild. Definitely like the buff for the Stoneguard, they need it.
