Twitch of Izalith Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I have been lucky enough to get my hands on the next expansion set for AoS which will be called Boxhammer!! A spokesman told me it was specifically designed for players who come home after a few beers with their mates and go online to stock up their paints or treat themselves to a new character model. He said "we realise these players often forget what paints they needed and end up blowing a couple of hundred pounds on starting a new army instead. Then they get disheartened when they realise it will be months before they finish their current project and get round to painting them. We really wanted to give something back to those people." "We also hope this new ruleset will appeal to all those people who left the hobby because they insist its better to move your models around in big rectangular blocks."

Mayple Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 But what about TRUE LINE OF SIGHT!? Do I aim at a corner of a box, or must I be able to see the miniature pictures on the box??? My pestilens starter box is much larger than a hero box! How is this fair!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoah_twitch Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Playing with only box-coats I see. Man I wish players took painting more seriously, at least edge highlight to really bring out those square corners. As it is those sides look flat. smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thostos Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Bases are too small,cant even see them..so I gather that this plays box to box measurement?...how fiddly and not good for competative play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorseOnABeachBall Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 These boxes received no playtesting , most are horribly overcosted!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Grimwood Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Well that's hust typical of GW and their corporate greed, they've gone and squatted all the other boxes they've released. There's only one thing for it Raaaagh that'll show them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoah_twitch Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 You can still play compendium boxes, although they made the heroes generic. RIP Arca Boxenhammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infeston Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 With the new boxes they pulled a typical GW MOVE. The boxes are simply too big so that I always have LOS issues. My melee boxes stand no chance against shooting boxes, because they are simply too big and always in line of sight. Had GW released proper boxed-sized terrain I wouldn't complain, but they didn't!!!!

rokapoke Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 None of these boxes are viable -- they're all weak against mortal wounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBS Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 You guys are joking but I once saw someone selling empty Warhammer boxes on some ebay-kind of website. Literally, the empty boxes. And not even cheep (30€ for the old Orion box). He claimed it was worth a lot for "collectors". But I'm sure this is rejoicing news for all those people that spend thousands to end up pushing grey masses around a table forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, this is mean, for a second I got excited. Then disappointed. Then laughed my ass off. Sound a lot like me upon learning about the transition actually.

Gaz Taylor Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 This brought a smile to my face But I've had to tweak the title as a few people have reported it. No issue with the humour but the title is a bit clickbaity, hence the tweak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
