For most armies I think it will just be a spell lore clarification for unique characters and minor changes to one or two rules where there are obvious issues (like pink horrors and the cap on squad sizes). If it ends up being more than that I'll be pleasantly surprised. Though considering my own army's history with post-hoc revisions (Slaanesh nerfs) in many cases lean FAQ's are better than heavy-handed rebalancing. Hoping for Hobgrots as battleline, maybe conditional with an option in the box. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New armies I can certainly see more significant updates for. Kruleboys and the new stormcast will likely have something for sure. Older armies probably won't see much of a change, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those orcs, and I want to see the internet flooded with them painted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only few armies really need explanation like Ossiarch Bonereapers. What is needed is errata to fix few problems that new edition creates. Unless you are talking about both errata and faq yeah that's what I meant, but it's good that you correct it. It's definitely the errata I'm looking forward to.

Clearly they are getting ready to post the FAQs but there may be a bit of craziness in the mean time. I remember foreign language FAQs going up earlier in previous versions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect this development to be GW telling us BoC players that the faq errata for this year is no faq errata for you this year 😛 Set expectations low, and all that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLewko Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Surely by new army they mean new stormcast. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drezden Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 From AoS RPG “Most disturbing of all is the fate of Barak-Durmmaz, a sky-port entirely overwhelmed by the Nighthaunt advance. Death has not abated their hunger for aether-gold, and now sky-fleets must contest with undead Duardin in the race for airborne resources” 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Templar_Lad Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Undead Duardin just sounds like Duardin that were too stubborn to stay dead. Ah it's always nice to see mentions of non human undead. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the majority of the material in FAQs will be regarding the "Coalition" rules mentioned in the GHB. There were some pretty suspicious changes to allies so I'm thinking Coalition options will be added. (Sylvaneth and Wanderers and BOC/STD/Chaos are the most obvious examples) After that, its probably just spell clarification, command ability cleanup, and probably some clearer faction terrain verbage.

Making sure all unit champions are listed as champions, making the ability of that one skink priest an actual prayer, that sort of thing.

Neil Arthur Hotep Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) A snippet from the new Khorne article that explains how coalition rules will work: Quote The new coalition rules allow you to take units from Slaves to Darkness with the Mark of Khorne, and one in every four units can be from the Beasts of Chaos faction. These gain the Khorne keyword, meaning Beasts of Chaos can be easily added to a Blades of Khorne army and can even have Artefacts of Power. We are all Cities of Sigmar now.

I was not fully aware of that. However, it also confirms that you will actually be able to take Beasts of Chaos in Khorne (and other chaos god allegiances), which I think was still up in the air.

Landohammer Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Just now, Austin said: I think I missed something. The coalition rules are in the GHB? Coalition was mentioned in either the GHB or BRB. And it was touched on in one of the Warcom articles. Its basically the new way that they define situations such as fielding Stormcast in cities or STD/BOC in Chaos armies and vice versa. All we know so far is that they don't contribute to battleline, can gain enhancements, and are distinct from Allies. The full info will be in the upcoming faction FAQs. Wanderers were dropped from Sylvaneth allies for the first time in 5 years (despite Dispossessed remaining) so it def looks like Coalition may be more widely available than just Chaos and Cities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
