Erdemo86 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 So only a new campaign and 1 scenery/terrain that allready existed. Nothing special. Really dissapointed... nothing for competive games or games with points. Always the same. Age of hope is dead, yeah youre right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niltzsche Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Well, I guess there is more coming and 2018 is more of an AoS year. Still I would have prefered, that they would have waited till after the Nurgle release and do like a big bang kind of release with maybe the new Death army. I am curious for the rules of the rereleased Building. I hope that it is not to order specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCharisma Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I wonder if they are bringing out an Order castle/fortress? They keep talking about a "citadel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrycontra Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'm bit disappointed as well. And it's not (just) because of lack of new models/etc., it's because they literally showed us nothing new or important information. What kind of campaign book is this, how does the campaign work, when will it release, will it have effect/impact on matched play, etc. Etc. I see 0 reason why they had to make this into some countdown. Was that countdown time it took them to setup webpage? Oh well, whatever. Guess we'll have to wait the next countdown for even more trivial info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinros Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Honestly I feel this is sort of a "soft reboot" in a sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see 3 old towers as scenery pieces in the "Malign Portents: Behind the Scenes" video: 1) Skullvane Manse / Lair of the Astromancer 2) Deathknell Watch 3) Dreadstone Blight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trayanee Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The site is really cool and the amount of information is high. I like it and was woth the hype for sure. It really shows AOS is not just a few pieces of plastic, which is super important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erdemo86 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Sorry but we are like 20 aos players in our store, and no one is interested in narrative games. Its nice to know something about the lore of aos, but no one, really nooo one needs a countdown to get informations about the lore.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 lol i knew this would happen. all the death players expecting a massive new range of models and back story etc etc. nurgle has literally.. just been announced. its not even up for preorder yet and you all want death models, releases, rules, points etc etc. chill... its comming.

Harioch Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Well that's disappointing... yeah okay the whole "explore the Realms" is cool (I wish we had this sooner but hey), the extra bits of background for the champions are nice but...i expected something more. I don't know maybe explaining what is Nagash's plan ! What can we expect for Malign Portent and where does it leads us ? I mean we don't even know what it is, do we ? Oh and the Knight of Shroud is a Nighthaunt...so no Deathrattle this year I guess ? Excuse my english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah soon as they announced nurgle for christmas I knew the wait will be a bit longer. Honestly listening to the knight of shrouds background made me think of starting a new death army.

BURF1 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I already hate this book. 'Supplemental rules content' is GW speak for 'either ban it or let it destroy matched play'. If it had been a whole lot of build-up for nothing that would have been one thing, but this is going to be actively detrimental to the game the same way the first 2 weeks of firestorm were(which resulted in pretty much blanket tournament banning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AthlorianStoners Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I’m really excited with this. We’ve had no AoS releases for months, now it’s 2018 and we have a new Battletome, a whole new range of models, new scenery and new lore and a fleshing out of GW mortal realms all within a few days. Things look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoodooChileIRL Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 So we have Nurgle pt 1 and Codex Chaos Daemons this weekend. Nurgle pt 2 next weekend. Assuming Nurgle isn't a 3 week release, we could be looking at preorders for the book and Harbingers on the 20th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURF1 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Just now, AthlorianStoners said: You haven’t even seen the book yet... You're right, it could also have no rules content intended for matched play so as to be irrelevant to matched play, which would be the better of the two options. Because there are only 2 options. As much as GW have been doing better over the past little while, they are still GW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aginor Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I like the character insight videos on the MP site. ...but now I want rules. I hope @BURF1 is wrong but I actually see his point. The last rules that came with narrative rules supplements were pure poison for balance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJPT Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 GW just said this on FB in response to a complaint about the lack of new models: Quote There's plenty more to show you soon, Oliver, don't worry. Malign Portents is the start of some exciting times for the Mortal Realms. Also: Quote Hey Matt, Malign Portents is lots of things - it's everything you said and more. It's a new narrative chapter for Warhammer Age of Sigmar. It's a campaign. It's new fiction. There will be books. There will be models. There will be changes to the shape of the Mortal Realms. You will not be disappointed. In this context, 'everything you said and more' refers to "A single battletome or a series of books? A Season of War campaign? A boxed set?" So it sounds like there's a lot to come. I'm really happy with this. A detailed lore refresh is really welcome, and I love the new art and tone. Excited to see what comes next. I can understand why competitive players would like something crunchier, but honestly my experience with AoS has only improved the further I've moved away from matched play. More stuff to plan narrative games with is exactly what I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
