I like the worm theming for the desert and bugs are kind of the Sylvaneth thing: Shu'gohl, or the crawling city is a city of sigmar in Ghur build on the back of a massive crawling worm. It featured in two black library novels so far. Edit: That Roving Clans picture makes me want to do another run of Endless Legend.

IIRC there were also some other worms, including one taken over by Khorne and one with a bunch of orcs. It shouldn't stop goblins from having som worms.

The worm cities also appear in a flashback in the Yndrasta book where they were part of the army fighting Doombreed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejecutor Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 If the Cogfort rumour is true, and not a mock in the end, this could open AoS to another dimension in terms of miniature sizes. With Cogforts we could go as big as the biggest 40k Titan. Do you see GW going wild and having bigger pieces like this kind of Worms?

LeviathanL Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I can probably assume that suggested table size will remain the same, right? I wanted to buy a battlemat, but opted to hold off until I was sure table size remained the same after I almost bought the old objective markers. Though if they were gonna change it, surely they would have said so in the last article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently part way through modeling up a 6x tile system board for printing... I ought to wait to get confirmation before I spend a lot of time finishing and then printing it lmao. Parametric or not, that would blow chunks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem would be if they go bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlemad Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 11 hours ago, Twisted Firaun said: That one GW dude is a hypocrite, since pretty much everything in Killteam and Warcry is usable in their main games. This is kind of misinterpreting the issue. Cross-usability between AoS/40k and those skirmish games isn’t an issue because they’re all made by the main GW design studio. It’s cross usability (and sales which can’t be cleanly split out) between games by the main design studio and the specialist games studio which is the ‘problem’. So ToW, 30k, Necromunda, etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I ran a pet supply store we would sell the same product under two different UPCS to track a certain type of packaging, to see if the packaging would make it sell better. Couldn't they do the same thing for these? Have the webstore track if someone adds it to their cart from Warcry tab or the Age of Sigmar tab? Have different UPCs, one on a warcry box and one on a age of sigmar box? Then it would divide sales to calculate better? On rumors, I might have to wait it seems like Malerion and Chorfs seem to be hinted at coming, which are two factions I am most interested in. I might start Kruleboyz since they are cheap to be able to play the game until then lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth 🍄 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Quote The General’s Handbook 2024-25 also includes two extra battle tactics for each Grand Alliance, alongside the Honour Guard Season Rule. These provide some extra flexibility outside of universal battle tactics, and replace faction-specific battle tactics. Quote Since all battle tactics are now part of the annual General’s Handbook, the Warhammer Studio will have more opportunities to balance battle tactics and ensure a fair playing field as the edition progresses. 👍 Edited April 26 by Gareth 🍄 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of Grand Alliance battle tactics. I think they are a good compromise between army-specific and generic tactics.. They allow the rules writers to emphasize what the alliances are all about, but are easier to balance because there are a lot fewer of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucentia Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) I was really hoping for a ground up rework of the BT system, so it's a little disappointing to see it's still fundamentally the same thing: memorise the list of tactics and plan accordingly. But removing faction tactics is a good move, if nothing else. Edited April 26 by Lucentia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviathanL Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Okay, interesting. I think I see where they want to go with this. They probably looked at all of 3rd editions battle tactics and tried to find a balance in difficulty and complexity for the Universal Tactics. In addition, they're probaly trying to combat the disbalance in seasonal battle tactic feasability per faction by giving out Grand Alliance-specific tactics. I could see that working since the grand alliances do often have a playstyle overlap. It would also be a return to grand alliances mattering in a meaningful way. This could be interesting. Let's see how it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
