VonRunestorm Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I wonder if the White Dwarf 40th anniversary is Overlord themed if so I need it! Anyone seen any pictures floating about? -VonRunestorm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're keeping granular in 40k because that's how 40k has always been. That's how Fantasy was, too though. It sort of makes sense for a GHB2 launch and it solves some problems with some of the current scrolls (if done well). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodapollo4 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Rumor mill tail is also quite curled, none of those tails are curled. I will not be denied my new plastic skaven! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When asked, he did not offer what it looked like other than it would be a "new sculpt". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same the official information so far only gives a price and that its a new sculpt that will work for 40k and Sigmar. Sounds like a KO/Squat model to me a Sqwarf if you will. Hopefully an image will leak before Saturday so I can decided if to buy it along side my KO purchases. -VonRunestorm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been a White Dwarf in Space before why not do a KO version that has rules to be a Squat in 40k. It would be a one off fun model with rules like the Released Imperial Space marine. Might be our first look at the new 8th ed profiles too. -VonRunestorm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerrorPenguin Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 OK, rumour mongering here, what do we know of the new 40K that might make its way to AOS? Assuming that it's not all one way traffic in AOS influencing 40K? This particular tweet from Mr Foley, for example? Does it herald changes in AOS?

DynamicCalories Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I think it would be desirable, with some exceptions perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayniac Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The 40k changes sound so amazing, I could nearly cry. I've waited 20 years for GW to get their heads out of the sand and treat the game this way. I'm literally beyond psyched for it. In fact, I hope they backport some of those to AOS, namely having the current matched play (buy in groups, upgrades free) become Narrative and a new matched play that has things like points per model and upgrades costing extra, etc. In any event I am basically dropping all my other wargames now to focus solely on Warhammer, and that's something I never thought I'd ever say again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volund Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 If you cannot shoot into or out of combat in AoS they better offer vouchers for everyone who bought Kharadron Overlords ships, lol! I feel lke the whole army is right on the cusp of tweaking everything right, playing everything right, and doing alright in the end. With shooting so hampered I would probably start every friendly game with something like, "so, 1200 points? I am playin KO. You dont mind if I take an extra frigate and company too, right?"

Could always have special rules to override them, with the default being you can't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Skyfires don't take any upgrades so you would still need to just adjust their base points. Kind of a bad example. Would make sense for Kurnoth Hunters I guess, but honestly Bow Hunters and Scythe/Sword Hunters should just be separate profiles and points.

Disc could cost more, can't they be on foot as well or was that just enlightened? In any event I think upgrades and such as extra and PPM would be great for AOS, but that's just me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veterannoob Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) new 40K will be amazing. The only bad thing about GW/FW/BL imo in 2017 is how poor I will be until 2018, at the very earliest add: hell, the influx of 40K players into AoS locally has been both awesome and amusing.

Requizen Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I do wonder if the 40k players who have switched will just flock back or end up playing both. I have trouble juggling multiple game systems, but I like both a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaeron Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I actually agree with points per upgrade (See: stormfiends with warpfire vs other builds). If they just increase the cost of stormfiends across the board, it badly overcosts the models for those who dont just spam three projectors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malin Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 It would be sane to do: no shooting to and from combat. Just as they plan for 40K, currently its insane... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
