  1. Probably modules is a more fanzy buzz word for chapters. 🙂 And indeed most will play the complete set of modules, although we are already ignoring battle tactics and the terrain effects already in third. I can't imagine I would play without commands, magic, army composition and command models. Imo it would be a rather dull and barebone game. It will be interesting to see how the game works with all the modules, but without the magic module. There has to be something added to compensate the loss of magic for Soulblight, Tzeentch, Lumineth and etc..; . If the same warscroll is used for everything except Spearhead. The effect of losing the Magic module seems huge for some armies. Edit: I was wrong as it seems that the Magic module is included in everything, except spearhead. Lol, I already find it confusing. Edit2: PTG seems to most interesting option for casual players. Everything is in there except battle tactics, although than chosing the first turn has no more drawback anymore as BT aren't a thing. Lol.
  2. Ok, but about what online errata that we currently have does he mean? Otherwise I am reading it totally wrong, but in the article he says that an online errata isn't needed anymore. So when looking at this edition, what online errata/faq/battlescroll could have been the issue that now is solved by not putting it online, but instead in a book? Edit: I mean we already have GHB's, so what does he mean about not putting an errata online? I am confused. 🙂
  3. Yes, but this will take time and will not be free anymore. What is a better system is to add the balance / rules updates online, so problems are quickly fixed and than they can add all those fixes per 6 months or so in a new book with the new updated modules. So players can chose to keep using the errata's online or buy the new book with everything nicely updated. Also Module X is released in june, after a couple of months it becomes clear dat Module X needs some changes. They update, "rewrite it form the ground up", make some cool Warcom articles about it. Sell the book for X euro. Than after a couple of months it becomes clear that the rewrite is not as good as hoped. So again a rewrite, again a new book and again paying X euro. While in the past this was free. You can see it perfectly with the Battlescrolls that not every solution fix the problem or sometimes create new problems. The big change now is that you will have to pay for these fixes.
  4. In the Warcom article they said that with the new system they don't have to do "online" errata's anymore, but fix it with a new book. I honestly can't see how this is an improvement. First the balance update isn't free anymore and secondly it can't never be as fast as they can release it online. Books and such are fine, but rules updates and balance updates during an edition should be online and preferably free. As lots of people see the new system as a computer game. Patches should be free. DLC not, but DLCS should include more than balance/bug fixes. It needs new units, battleplans and etc. . As it is worded now it will no be free anymore as it was the case with battlescrolls during 3rd edition.
  5. Maybe there will be no wizards in spearhead mode allowed? It seems a bit strange as the diversity between the battletomes is also the magical power they have. But if the magic module is not added, how can the pointcost of those units be balanced if they can't use a big part of their identity. Biggest example is Tzeentch.
  6. This was previously done through free battlescrolls a couple of times per year. Point adjustments based on competive play. Now they make a book for it instead.
  7. We will see 🙂 Edit: it's not that they now do monthly FAQ/Errata's/battlescrolls, it's 2-3 times a year? Perfect doable for GW to replace it with a book instead. 😉
  8. Yes, possible, but when reading this part. It does seem that they think releasing a book is a better way than releasing it online in an Errata/FAQ as it is done now. Which was until now done through a free battlescrol.
  9. :-D. So as strong as Khorne when playing without the Magic module?
  10. Exactly, I also wonder how they will balance it with all the warscrolls as playing without the magic module has certainly an impact on some armies. So a warscroll has to be balanced for a game with the magic module and for a game without the magic module.
  11. With the small difference that if we read it correctly that they will not put out errata's online anymore or an online battlescroll, but instead you have to wait until the updated module is available through a book. It could be a perfect solution if it was completly digital. Now it's just a means to milk some money out of the errata's that were previously free.
  12. With dozens of small dlc you need to buy. This approach seems the same but instead with lots of books. It's a bit funny that they say that they don't need to put an errata online but can instead sell another book thanks to this approach with modules. 😅
  13. They said last week that the scope of the project has changed. Thus this could mean that everything is possible from moving some legacy armies to core armies or add Cathay, kislev sooner than later. Everything is possible.
  14. It could be possible that there will be no difference anymore between melee weapons. I.e Chaos warriors have one melee profile. So no seperate line for halberds anymore.
  15. Goh, it depends how you look at it. In all those years be it Warhammer and later AoS. I never thought "wounds" wasn't intuitively. In the end it doesn't matter, just seems a trival change without a real effect. I certainly don't seem it as a friction point for newcomers. 🙂
