From the November white dwarf, the bale wind vortex and Magewraith throne will be returning. There will also be some hero bases. No news of minis or battletomes☹️ Well, putting aside whether or not they're broken I think it's good these pieces of scenery are coming back. A lot of the newer terrain GW made in 8th edition should really fit right into AoS. All 4 Storm of Magic pieces, Dreadstone Blight, Witchfate Tor, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerlin Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 How much did the balewind vortexes go for previously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottle Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I've seen them being sold at £60+, and people probably went for it after the FAQ made them free to use. I am also glad to see them back but think it should be pointed - otherwise it's a boring autoinclude. If GW leaves them unpointed they will no doubt fly off the shelves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm of the opinion that anything you place as part of your army (be it summoned or otherwise) should have a nominal points cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Next weekends preorder will be the heroes from silver tower in individual clam packs. £15 or $25 dollars US each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those prices are actually a little cheaper than the other standalone heroes. Stormcast and fyreslayer heroes are all £18 each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottle Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Yeah £15 doesn't seem too bad. In the end I am not going to get the set as I am not a fan of the Tzeentch setting (would have preferred a more generic Dungeon setting), but some of the miniatures are excellent and would make great additions to my armies and might purchase them individually.

Suave Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 http://spikeybits.com/2016/10/new-aos-40k-terrain-bases-spotted.html Looks like a custom wound tracker and some new AoS bases will be coming too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Custom Wound Tracker" They're just D10s. I love how GW have dressed that up as something fancy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuneBrush Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Yup they're D10's from the looks of it - but two colours so you can use one for the tens and the other for the units. Though it'd be easy to knock GW on this it does seem like they've come up with a practical solution to marking wounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottle Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Yeah, I've been using my "D&D" dice for wounds for ages now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting to see Skullvane Manse, Witchfate Tor and all the old ones make it back... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turragor Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Re d10 wound markers. They mention popping them on the base. If they have custom small d10s that sit on bases more comfortably I am a little more interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 My bases are a bit too scenic for that, sadly. I'll just use D12s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Looks like a good opportunity for them to update the Warscroll for the Balewind Vortex. I fed some feedback to them directly on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHHaunts Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 i assume the point of a D10 is that nothing in the game currently exceeds 20 wounds therefore you can count the amount of wounds inflicted up to 10 and then count the wounds left after that.

The pack GW are selling has two colours in, you can use one for tens and the other for units, so could easily mark up to 100 wounds. No reason why you have to of course, you could simply add more than one dice together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmm, not ideal for displaying it. For example, I got from 9 wounds taken to 9 wounds remaining in a swirl of melee in a large game, a load of stuff happens, then we both stare at the dice trying to remember if it was 9 wounds remaining or 9 wounds taken. Hence why I universally do one or the other, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it pretty confising for the opposition so it would be useful. Ive taken to just keeping a load of lamenated squares (roughly 20mm X 20mm) and a drywipe pen in my case so i can just make up whatever tokens i need such as shields with +1 for saves or just straight numbers for wounds. works really well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
