Killymcgee23 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Points values ending in 5- Is that a new feature? Certainly no Skaven units ending in 5 Is the latest story the most Malerion we've gotten? How much of a stretch would it be to suggest we might see some Ulgu elves sometime in 3.0? And most importantly what impact will this have on the heroes of the setting, the Skaventide? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May send my CV in What stands out to me in this story isnt actually Malerion ... It's the comment :: Quote ‘I have plans to avert it. Besides, I fear he will have his hands rather full if he seeks order now that dear Alarielle is making her play. Even in Ulgu you must feel the realms shiver with unease.’ This makes me think (genuinely) that Alarielle may well move against Sigmar... (Perhaps even switch allegiance?) ... She must be due a new model right? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still-young Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Alarielle’s model is post AoS, she’s not really due a new one no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if only GW put this much effort into writing the Slaanesh tome.... Others who have seen the full battletome leaked agree that it's very similar to the Slaanesh tome, with weaker allegiance abilities than LoN and rather plain Warscrolls. The only thing they have over Slaanesh is the points costs I have a feeling there's movement from one of the ruleswriters to tone down books in AoS 3, but unfortunately they're not being very clear about it and it doesn't quite balance out with AoS 2 battletomes. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May send my CV in It has worked every time so far for me. I haven’t seen any glitches? I received my email yesterday (the link someone has shared above) and it will likely be posted to the main Community site a few days later (tomorrow, perhaps), as usual. If you want the updates early, without having to wait for someone to share their link on here, I would imagine you can subscribe through the Broken Realms website. They will come straight to your inbox a few days before anyone else can read them on the Community site. I’m sure they could always use more IT support though — you should go for it! Like you, I found the story intriguing. I’m all for seeing the Sylvaneth get a renewed focus as well as any hints or tips about what Mally is getting up to these days.

While I like that conceptually, historically that hasn't gone well, iirc. A small disclaimer of "We know this writer makes over the top rules, but can't be bothered to check them before we print" would suffice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You bought a battletome from writer A? Ahhh, I can't match that with my battletome from writer B. How about this time you bring your old army with battletome from writer B so we can both have fun?" Honest Wargamer has suggested there are two rules writers, one is called the 'sin guy' (i.e. lumineth, seraphon, tzeentch) and the other is called 'bin guy' (slaanesh, sons of behemet, sylvaneth). I like that a lot better than naming the rules writers directly. I remember back in 5th edition 40k where Matt Ward was getting absolutely torn apart by the community. Wasn't pretty. From what I've seen so far, gravelords looks like a 'bin' writer book Edited May 13, 2021 by Jagged Red Lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeryenn Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I think it's about time to consider online rules instead of traditional battletomes. I know that these paper battletomes have their own charm. I really love them. Currently I have like 7 or 8. But then it's really disappointing to wait like 2-3 years for a faction to get updated, either buffed or nerfed. Kharadron Overlords or Sylvaneth players should understand this perfectly, when their armies where mostly unplayable for a long time. I think Seraphon and Lumineth players also understand that being "that guy" in the group is not fun either (some do however...). Now if we had online rules any underpowered or overpowered unit could be fixed within days. Then again people spend a lot of money on their minis and want to feel stable with their purchase for a while. Tough decisions... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumineth are really good but tzeench is a pain to match up..especially if you play SCE Its not just power level though. Bin books have poor internal balance. Would consider original idoneth a bin book purely because it shoehorns you into a single build. A sin book is good not only because it does well in the meta, but also because every unit is viable and encourages a range of diverse lists. For example, cities or daughters of khaine, versus mawtribes or fyreslayers. Edited May 13, 2021 by Jagged Red Lines 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesummers Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Well guys plz enlighten me... i am looking at some leaks for soulblights and reading the Mannfred warscroll under his Command Ability it says "You can use this command ability once per turn in your hero phase.". Does this means we get alternate phases? Or you can use the ability on your opponents turn somehow (given the once per turn restriction)? Maybe it's just a restriction for not spamming the ability but badly worded? (Hope this doesn't break any rules on posting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
