Luckily, all OBR models look cool. I have a special soft spot for the goofyness of the soulmason (with chicken-legged throne) and the harvester (with the ******-mortek). Katakros is absolutely stunning and as a miniature and really embody well the master strategist that he is in lore.

As always, warscroll change, miniature stay (well, whoops ? But ossiarch, being a pure AoS army, should stay for a long time), so for me the first criteria is always: do I like how it looks? That being said, its probable safe to avoid buying Arkhan because its a box shared for two armies (and GW does not want to do that anymore so its just a matter of time before the box will not be sold) and because he is dead in the fluff (like, nagash will probably make him come back, but who knows what he will look like). However, the miniature itself (the dread abyssal) is great so if you like it, there will be a way to play it. Its the same base as katakros so you can count as, altough karakros is such a wonderful miniature itself… As my VDD says, dont buy paper right now.

I’m betting on a system where the leaders can issue command for free, like every army has one or two character able to issue à command for free per turn, where all OBR leader can do that, with some (liege - kavalos) able to do it twice, or more (like katakros could do it 3-4 times a turn, showing his tactical superiority). Would be fluff and a smooth way to show the « army » side of OBR, contrasting to the other army more akin to hordes, warband, defense force, pirates raider, etc.

Sounds a lot like fantasy battle of old, where each sorcerer generates some dice to use (depends on his level), then if you want to launch a spell, you just say how many dices of your pool you use. Same for dispell.

From the new article: « Everything you can do in the game is now an ability, from moving, fighting, shooting, and casting spells, to the unique actions found on your warscrolls. These abilities have clear sequencing: a Declare step and an Effect step, and their timing is written out, colour-coded, and uses symbols, making it incredibly easy to understand at a glance which phase you can perform each action in, and what it does. « Did not understood that. Is it similar to the way Legion Imperialis works?

Well, that warband is awesome. I like everything in it. But clearly for AoS it should be different units... but hey the Wildercorps arent, they have dogs, guyz and arbalester in one warscroll. That being said, we have a horse, 2 guys on foot, 3 hounds, 2 birds. The birds at least should be on another warscroll, just like the terrawings of the huanchi's hunters. A shame that we dont have at least one bow. Maybe is there an option for the chief (they are head options for the hounds, so...)

God that helmet… i’m preciously keeping my fatcasts. I dont understand this choice.

I must say, as someone who got ossiarch and stormcast, i’m kinda excited over the whole « stormcast but with a death thing ». Wonder where this is going.

That would be awesome. As other great ideas but i really like this one, an army of non-sentient monster just guided by morghur

About this. What if… khul WAS the lady of ruin, like the first transgender mini? =p Would explain why we got so little intel over the second =p

Well if it is on the same base, its ok. Another base size would be hard to swallow for the gamers of us. It just need to be a 400/500 pts unit with way more power to be on par with the lore. Its the first stormcast after all ! And he got THE warhammer !

We’ll see in a few days how many of those are in the box. Cant wait to see if we will have some kind of light cavalry with units of 3-5 or just a token beast. Honestly, with the lore of the ossiarch, i can see those bonecats be more than beasts (like, with the rune Beast for Warcry). People tend to see those as demoted ossiarch (like the horses thing of the kavalos), but maybe they are just directly build that way as specialized hunters, which open the possibility of having a team of those in Warcry and so a unit on AoS

Well i guess when the traitor stormcast die, his soul goes back on the anvil of apotheosis, where he is stripped of the memories of him being traitor, so that when he is reborn, he start his new life as some loyal guy.

If we got berserk ruinator stormcast, i think its gonna be a unit of three rather than five ? And on the same level of power than annihilators. Edit: like less armoured but with lightning missile weapons or capacity.

Same here. Surely an extra pair of legs would not have been too much. Or two more. Cant wait to see how many are they per unit! Maybe they have some sort of alpha-dog.
