I'm sure it will be for the best, but I am a bit surprised given the recent release of the new Stormcast battletome. A good reason to keep point values out of the Battletomes. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I find this all a little mystifying. Age of sigmar is a huge game with hundreds of units, items and abilities. To effectively playtest this in the studio even with a hundred players playing round the clock would be impossible, so if they save the Stormcast points update for the ghb and the points turn out to be broken, then they have a whole year before the next fix. It is much better to put the points in the book, let the whole community play with it and make adjustments based on that for the ghb. I suspect the reason for the long gap between Kharadron and this book is to give time for the community to have some time with every currently available army and try to come up with as balanced a list of points as possible. It will be interesting to see if there are any tweaks to Kharadron points. I am sure there are some the community would like to see. The aim for both AOS and 40k is to have games decided by good generalship on the table not just by choosing the most overpowered units and abilities. In an ideal world list building should be about tailoring a list to make the most fun for you to play with your playstyle and the most fun for your opponent to play against. If it takes five years of ghbs and constant point adjustments to get there, then that is a price I am willing to pay. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdkinker Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 All of the arguments I've seen for keeping the points in the books exclusively don't address the advantages of an online living document for points. This is clearly the direction that is best, and it will help them focus more on what the books actually do well. 5 minutes ago, Arkiham said: Oh I hope Festus! New Nurgle should be coming up, right?

Arkiham Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Nurgle is excluded from the ghb2 and there is still talk of more nurgle for 40k so, it wouldn't be a surprise to see some more nurgle in aos, it is a very limited faction Edited August 16, 2017 by Arkiham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually have seen the prices in USD. Don't try to use conversion rates with GW. Also, Bloodletters didn't need to be cheaper, god I hate daemons.
