Mouldie Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 How much does Glot cost? Also can you summon dead units back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Egan Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Hey Ben. Thanks for doing this Q and A. My question: Are Nurgle Rotbringers and Daemons of Nurgle of the same "allegiance"? If not, can you clarify that each distinct "allegiance" is taken from the sub headings in the Grand Alliance books? I.E. Brayheards, Tzeentch Arcanites, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thostos Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Thanks for doing this Ben! Im curious as to the basics surrounding the scenarios and their victory conditions..are these kill point based?,Objective based like 40k or a mix of both? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rid Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Ben, are they match play scenarios mirror matches ie same deployment and objectives per player, or are they a bit funky like the plans in some of the battletomes etc? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoollyMammoth Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) Thanks Ben, you're the man - best AoS podcast in the world! My biggest fear for Skaven is they will make like Clanrats 50 points for 20 and bring us back to the "180 core (battleline) models to be competitive" structure. Could be the same for skeletons, zombies, goblins, etc. At first glance - do you notice any grossly under-costed horde units?Update - Undead has its standard "core tax" except, unlike 8th, these basic units can hold their own in numbers, and most specifically with proper synergy. Theres really no reason why you don't want a huge horde of skeletons or ghouls. Appealing options like FE-Courts allow you to take strong units as core as well. Skaven however are going to require about 60 Clanrats to pay the 'core tax' if you want the standard kind of mixed forces you would do in 8th, though about 75% of all the good stuff is in skyre where you can take stormfiends as battleline. I was really hoping for a return of magic items, and am very excited for this "artifact" system. Can you give a basic explanation of how artifacts work?Update - you give one to a hero and theres 6 of them per grand alliance. pretty simple In addition to magic items, I really miss magic lores. Picking a lore, rolling for spells. As a VC player, magic would make or break my games. I'm a little disappointed by the over simplicity of the magic phase. Don't get me wrong, I love the end of the age when most games were decided on who could get purple sun off first, but I feel they went a little too far with simplifying magic. Is there anything new that effects how magic works?Update - looks like a no on anything cool with magic Edited June 27, 2016 by WoollyMammoth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarLizard Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Is there going to have to be core like choices and hero point limits on the matched games? Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll probably see FW release their own points for their lines shortly after the book goes to market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsonus Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Very disappointed that silver tower units aren't in. I'm basically building my force around those I suppose that would mean future battletomes will have to include points too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand your leaks, I wont be able to play the army like that anymore? As Jabber Tzeentch says, yes you will. From leaked images we see that Blood Warriors and Bloodreavers are both Battleline. So in a 2,000 points game you could plonk down three units of 10 Bloodreavers, costing 180 points (or some Blood Warriors or whatever as long as you have three Battleline units). You need one leader, but that could be any model. You then have the rest of your points to spend on anything. You do have character, monster, and war machine limits but nothing requires you to fill these with Khorne Bloodbound so Skarbrand, skull cannon etc. are all perfectly valid choices. If you go pure Chaos Grand Alliance it sounds like you also get an extra little bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
