Jamopower Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 A lot of content from the General's Handbook looks to been shifted to the core rules book. Interesting to see how the pages have been used that are now free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticCraic Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 @Jamopower you should check out the Stormcast episode on that subject, where Ben Johnson discussed exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I don't think so. One of the artworks is from League of Legends and I doubt GW would use someone else's artwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting. I like how they're using coloured plastics. However, from a modelling perspective, as they still as workable etc as grey plastics? I know from experience some models, like the Balewind, used a different sort of grey plastic and it wasn't as soft etc. Much cheaper. I was a bit put off the Thunder and Blood set (gold and red plastics) because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Shadespire, where painting is not really a thing so much, colored plastics are fine. But for a hobby game like AoS, the last thing we need is encouragement to not paint. There is already too much bare plastic on many gaming tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would throw into this discussion that some of the more recent bits produced in China have been much better quality - the Necromunda bases spring to mind and things like the Azyrite Ruins. I did hear (and take this with a pinch of salt) that this was because GW was supplying the casting equipment rather than the supplier doing this.

Kirjava13 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 The models still seem nice quality, bit chunkier than usual. The box notes that they were developed in Great Britain but made in glorious people's republic of China. In case anyone's wondering, my store manager was unboxing his when I went in to order White Dwarf and he let me have a quick butchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the old plastic terrain, yes they were bad (and horrible to built), but it's not related to coloring I believe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is already too much bare plastic on many gaming tables. It won’t affect anything. If someone was going to paint them, they still will, and if they weren’t going to anyway they won’t. If anything it’ll be a bit of variety in someone’s otherwise grey army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda wish they did some improvement to their production processes The mould lines in some kits are seriously embarrassing, and nub placement in a lot of kits is terrible.

There is nothing inherently lower quality about manufacturing in China. In fact many of the manufacturing processes in China are the best in the world. One of the main reasons the US imports steel is because the country has no facilities that can produce the quality that China can (which they developed to support the three gorges dam project. An interesting knock on effect is that their concrete is also higher quality because it incorporates the steel slag balls that are a byproduct of steel production).

Dunno, if it's my OCD or something, but having part of my Death Guard army in green and the other part grey made me paint them faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralZero Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I was thinking about my high elves and their balista, the "high elf bolt throwers" I hope that GW will update this unit's warscroll to be managed like the new Stormcast balista. (and all the other machineries like this one: canons, balista, catapults) etc... I.E. the crew+the machine = considered as 1 miniature with augmented life points.

Considering compendiums are said to be removed with GHB 2018, I doubt they will touch that warscroll until HE legends arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
