I have some Beasts, High Elves, and Warriors of Chaos so I appear to be in a good position.

A good new rule is that you can now wheel and maneuver through your own units. This for example would have been impossible in the older versions.

3 Action Economist posted:As mentioned, the size will be important, bit it's much easier to find movement trays that will take round bases than getting adapters to turn every single square base into a circle, since AoS doesn't use trays. Though Trays can be nice in AoS.

So comparing a basic Empire Soldier with a basic Chaos Warrior and no upgrades. Empire Soldier Move 4 WS 3 BS 3 S 3 T 3 W 1 I 1 A 1 LD 7 Points 5 Equipment: Hand Weapon and Light Armour. Chaos Warrior Move 4 WS 5 BS 3 S 4 T 4 W 1 I 4 A 1 LD 8 Points 13 Equipment: Hand Weapon and Heavy Armour. Ensorcelled weapon makes the Hand Weapon Magic and AP 1, and Mark of Chaos Undivided lets them reroll failed Panic, Fear, or Terror tests. Overall I am liking the look of Chaos Warriors. Looking forward to seeing all the customization

Lostconfused posted:Empire Soldiers should be compared to chaos marauders, warriors are the next step up in infantry, imo. I just wanted to check how what are likely to be my default troops compared to the baseline trained human. I don’t have any Marauders.

Jack B Nimble posted:I would have bought the Bretonian box on the optimistic hope that there will be a scene at the local store, but it's out of stock already? I guess that's money saved for me, but I've been playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance and re-reading Ken Foullet books so I was really ready to paint some early medieval knights and infantry. Only Temp out of stock. These Boxes are planned to stick around.

Jack B Nimble posted:Im really glad to hear that. I'd saw it phrased that way on the site but I thought that may just be a default phrasing, because it's not like the site would have updated the page with "They're all on eBay bro". They actually do have a phrase for that. No Longer Sold Online. Also looks like Modern Chaos Warriors do Rank up decently (not mine)

Safety Factor posted:I saw the rules for the Bretonnian and Tomb Kings alternate builds and they are not just rearranging a few things. They get access to some new units that are explicitly meant to be conversion opportunities or counts-as. They have little designer's notes telling you what they would suggest. Some, like the venerable ushabti, are as simple as painting them a little nicer. Others, like the tomb guard chariots, will require conversion work. Some regular units aren't allowed at all or get mixed up in different slots. They also have more rules than I was expecting. It's not just one little bonus. Oh, and there are magic items tied to each. They're really cool. Some really strong narrative elements and converters will have a field day. Definitely looking forward to the Empire versions. Yeah I saw the take Tomb King as Heirophant rule, which could be nice as Tomb Kings are tougher than Liches.

There are some strong rumour that Chorfs are coming back for AoS. Though I would not expect them too soon.

Pb and Jellyfish posted:That guy rules so hard. Awesome job on the paint. Do the Chaos Dwarves on tabletop have a bunch of orc units like they do in Total war? For their first book while you had to have one unit of Chaos Dwarf Warriors and however much you wanted of anything else. But Chaos Dwarf Warriors and Blunderbusses were 14 points a model (15 if you gave the Blunderbusses a shield). Meanwhile Hobgoblins were 5 points a model, Goblins 2.5, Orcs 5.5. Hobgoblin Wolf Riders at 14 points were the only things as expensive as the Chaos Dwarf Infantry.

Leperflesh posted:Some fun unit filler for foot knights might include like a pack mule or horse or two laden with supplies, or maybe a whole supply wagon; squires or assistants with spare weapons; maybe some war dogs or their fantasy equivalents; or a really big guy, a big base with a kind of diorama of two or three guys doing something funny or interesting. Anything that looks reasonably mobile, makes sense to have with a unit of armed soldiers, and ideally adds character is good. Yeah I love all of those.

Looking at those models I wonder if they are going to have Belegar as a generic King on Oathstone, or if he’s going to be himself as he was alive and a King at this point in the timeline. He was a notable candidate for Dwarf High King.

Safety Factor posted:The builder looks to be very much a work in progress. I was tinkering with the empire list and a lot of stuff exists in name only. Like I can add a Lector of Sigmar to the list, but he has zero options. It also isn't set up for detachments, they start at 5 models instead of the usual 10. Yeah I imagine we will have wait for release day before it gets proper robust.

Don’t quote me on this, but I think reforming costs your move for the turn, unless you have the drilled rule. Don’t know if it affects shooting.

Cease to Hope posted:Aleguzzler gargants are regular giants, and an option in Gloomspite Gitz, the same army as the arachnarok. The official model is the same one as the mancrusher model. They can even still stuff enemies in their pants, and fall over when they die. Think they are talking about taking them together in an old world list.
