Today there is the Internet and YouTube with a huge wealth of information. When I was starting, I had white dwarf, store staff members and muddling through myself. I believe new hobbiests have it better than ever and anything they aren't sure of is a google search away. *Please note, not directed at anyone, just my opinion. Just because you can find a guide for something on line, if you know where to look of course, doesnt make something that we should expect beginners to be able to do. FWIW, the one time tome I tried to remove a base rim like in the picture above I completely broke a pair of clippers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Mackay Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hrothgorn is not a replacement for the Icebrow Hunter unless gw rewrite the Hunters warscroll. The Hunter has a spear/javelin which Hrothgorn does not, and the crossbow in the Hunters warsroll is an optional weapon not included by default (which I also believe the current Hunter model doesn’t actually have) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor should that be required. If you need a youtube deepdive as a beginner just to begin, something is wrong. But @Ogregut I would have loved those resourced when i was a kid. Although we did have make your own terrain books. Those were awesome as well. Would love a 2020 version of that. And even Campaign books always had a 'make your own X' section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just leave it thicker and then apply sand round the edge though if you didn't want to faff too much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber SunStorm Posted October 28, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Possibility of a further lockdown for the GW HQ and Factory: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/28/nottinghamshire-expected-to-enter-tier-3-covid-restrictions-on-friday They may have some better procedures in place, with people working from home, but if staff cannot work in the factory it might start impacting production again. The Tier system confuses me though, so I might be wrong Edited October 28, 2020 by SunStorm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Darn it GW you should know you can't name the Dead Play!! It's bad luck @SunStorm GW's factory and shipping side of business should remain operational provided they are operating covid restrictions (ergo socially distanced working; washing hands; etc...). Basically most of the restrictions hit at social and retail gatherings. Heck even at the highest tier they are keeping schools/universities open. It's not as strict as it was the first time where basically everything that was not essential was shut down. I would assume that GW might not feel much of a hit other than having to close Warhammer World. They might have to reduce or change some practices but I believe they are already operating within covid guidelines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaliontil Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) According to the webstie (https://ageofsigmar.com/broken-realms/) we are getting rules for DoK, Idoneth, Stormcast, Cities of Sigmar and Slaves to Darkness. Very curious to see how this story goes. Expanding on this, it seems like: -Rules for Morathi with both forms at the same time. -Two new CoS with...more focus on old dark elves? -New batallions for Stormcast -Batallion and allegiance abilities for StD -Idoneth Batallion + new warscrolls for allopexes, leviadon and eidolons Edited October 28, 2020 by Thaliontil 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use both versions of Morathi at the same time FTW! Edited October 28, 2020 by El Syf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBrodd Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 This makes me think we may have 4 or 5 books if that many Factions are in each!! ****** this is so exciting think of the possibilities for the Realms!!

What news minis will each Faction be getting? Could we see new COS? Likely just the characters in the DoK/Slaanesh box. I think we’d have seen something if much more was coming.

Maybe because first trailer of that book has shown that some kind of civil war is brewing...? @KingBrodd Unfortunately we're rather going to see box sets with battallion's units. That's what the site implies... Edited October 28, 2020 by michu 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakai Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) IDK get new warscroll and mount traits citiies get new cities DOK get new allegiance, new warscroll for morathi with both version of her EDIT: they show what each army gets on the website Edited October 28, 2020 by novakai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is like the pa books for 40k at most we might get a new hero model every book but at this point even that seems unlikely surely they would have teased a new model by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaylorCorvette Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) From the website: DoK are getting the Zainthar Kai Temple which has battalions and two warscrolls that let you use both versions of Morathi on the tabletop at the same time Cities of Sigmar includes rules for the cities of Misthavn and Har Kuron as well as a warscroll battalion for the sorceress Drusa Kraeth and her chosen warriors Stormcast get five new warscroll battalions representing the Wardens of the Stormkeep, Stormtower Garrison, Stormkeep Patrol, Stormkeep Brotherhood and Ven Brecht's Black Watch, alongside three sets of allegiance abilities. Slaves to Darkness gets a new warlord - Rokar Gresh, ruler of a warband called the Crimson Bretheren which include his warscroll battalion, Gresh's Iron Reapers as well as four new sets of allegiance abilities. Idoneth Deepkin get a warscroll battalion for The Bloodsurf Hunt, Nemmetar's royal guardians also includes four warscrolls, Akhelian Allopexes, Akhelian Leviadon, and both Eidolons of Mathlaan - alongside mount traits for Deepmares and Leviadons So primarily new/updated rules with an occasional new model.
