The day they will offer the cursed city again? Probably the reveal of the indomitus-style launch box. Who knows if we get a teaser for the opposing faction before then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganigumo Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 We should always take what community says with a grain of salt unless they're being super specific, but this sounds like we might not be losing battalions. I've had a hunch the core battalions might be an additive rule for a while, even after Smorgan's video saying they were gone. The wording between them being replacements or additive isn't hugely different and given his other video where he was talking about how command abilities got increased range didn't mention if they were changed to wholly within (which they almost certainly are) I wouldn't be surprised if he glossed over it or made an assumption. For reference a hypothetical writing of the rules: Spoiler Core battalions only "Only core battalions are available for use in matched play and are useable by any allegiance" Core battalions + warscroll battalions "Core battalions are available for use in matched play and are useable by any allegiance" Literally a 1 word change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah people can do allies but most players prefer one book one army policy. (especially when they are starting out/getting into a new GA) If I were to ally a 3ple faction duardin list I would need to buy 3 books and BR books. If they lump them together you get 1 book for a big faction. Much easier. I can't see any reason why they should give us more models if all dwarves will be in 1 book. I can bet, that IF this will happens combined army will be more competitive than solo... which will force other players to buy models they don't want.

Tiberius501 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Man, I just wanna see what the baddies in the starter box are! XC Just 1 of them so I can know to be exited or not lol.

Indomitus' preorder was telegraphed well in advance. Whenever it does go up for preorder, it's almost certainly going to be a massive scramble to get it. The indomitus rush was so bad, GW released it as a made-to-order after that, so it might happen again with this box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamik Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I wonder if the picture at the bottom of the AoS 3 article offers clues to the next battletomes. Just happy to see Khorghos Khul still kicking around, maybe he'll win one this time! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking this, too. It would be a good way to keep existing battalions around while closing the gap between haves and have-nots a bit. Would be nice if the battalions from BR:Kragnos were not instantly invalidated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don't believe this is because kragnos hasn't been released yet The Indomitus box had a very drawn out preview cycle. The cinematic trailer came out in late May, and the box was released in late July. I'd bet on the AoS edition launch being at least a little more drawn out than normal. Maybe not to the extent of Indomitus, because 40K is GW's flagship product, but almost certainly more than one or two weeks between the box announcement and the preorder.

Looks like it can't be charged 90% of the time I'm stunned they ruled it to work in the opponents' shooting phase as well. Be mindful of your positioning and certain armies will literally never catch it...it's cool and all, but I can definitely see it being one of those 'NPE' situations when it gets abused.

EnumaEilish Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Just now, zamerion said: Then the may22 that will be other preview? Only for the bad guys? Other preview's probably the 22nd, GW would have probably announced a preview for this Saturday by now, and it makes sense to give people a breather after last week. Hard to say what the contents will be. Could be 40k, but between Orks, Sisters, and still unreleased AdMech, they have a lot in the pipe. I think a sneak peek at a few models from the other half of the launch box makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the same logo to me tbh, I thought they had just shifted the background colour to the more blueish tint over the older greenish tint of the malign portents/Soul wars era of the logo.

Saying that existing battletomes will still work is just saying that no models and allegiances will be invalidated in 3rd. If we're getting a big change regarding battalions, I would expect that change to happen at the dawn of the 3rd edition. Keeping both Core battalions and faction battalions around would be messy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
