Not sure what the topic will be though. I imagine they won't start the faction focuses until after the full reveal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucentia Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 It's not typically a full five days of articles regardless, and it feels like they've covered most of the stuff rules-wise at this point, so maybe they'll toss in a couple of lore/background features or something. I'd guess the first two faction focuses will be stormcast and skaven, and that they'll refer to some of the launch box stuff thats not been revealed yet, hence why they haven't started posting those up yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrac Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Warcom tends to publish 3 daily articles. The ones we're expecting, apart from AoS 4th: -Specific on the price hike, I guess -More CSM rules -The tau points -More White Dwarf articles -Legions Imperiales and Solar Auxilia preorders -Darktide game Just to give an idea on the room for what you may want apart from the AoS stuff. We have 9 articles left for the rest of the week (plus preorders and sunday previews) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past we could get a sheet with the changed prices via the trade site bit no idea if that is still true but either way nothing from WarCom. Tau points also shouldn't be an article, should just get uploaded. There also wasn't anything when the current version was uploaded for example. I also wouldn't expect anything about the LI preorders now, LI normally doesn't get anymore articles during their preorders since they already get some info when the model was revealed in a HH Thursday. (Also the book with the rules has been out for a while now) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Also the book with the rules has been out for a while now) Totally agree with all of this. Today will be a Warhammer+ update and also a couple of other news articles. One of these may be for the next edition of AOS but I think we've seen most of the main points without delving into a detailed rules review. I think we will see a couple of articles between now and next weeks full box reveal but we are probably in a holding pattern about it now!

Cdance93 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I’m not sure why everyone thinks they’ll not do faction focus until after the reveal. They started early May for 40K and before Leviathan reveal no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beliman Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 1 minute ago, Ragest said: Shooting is spreaded into combat and warlock articles Don't be that guy. We need some ranged profiles, a brief explanation about Artillery and some talk about range (appart of being cut). It seems that snipers will have 24", and bows 18", what about artillery or pistols? And I'm really curious about an Auto-Hit USR (if any) for gas-breath like weapons or weird stuff like lightning ammunition or volley guns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucentia Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Seems like shooting is basically exactly the same as previous for the most part? Whilst I'm sure you could spin that out into an article (it's not like the combat phase is hugely different either) but it would probably feel kinda redundant. Maybe they could do an article on some of the weapon special rules and cover any other relevant shooting phase bits in there, or something.

Maybe they could do an article on some of the weapon special rules and cover any other relevant shooting phase bits in there, or something. I think that there are some subtle changes there. We don't have any roles (mainly Artillery), but we still have some role-like keywords like War Machines: We know that Chariots are War Machines in 4.0, and most of the upper row keywords have some gameplay utility. Some are just there for Abilities, but others have strightforward rules like Wizard 9, Fly, Ward 5+, etc. We know that there are multiple USR tied to weapons, and just look at how many ranged weapons we have: voley guns, harpoons, drills, gas-thrower guns, multiple-barrell guns, cannons, catapults, bolt throwers, etc... that's a lot of stuff to showcase that will be drastically diferent than 3.0 weapons. Pretty sure that some people (like me) would be really interested in a bit more knowledge about range and shooting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfyre Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 So who had LARP-friendly TOW weapons on their list of one of the three WarCom daily articles being posted today? 🤣 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrozatarim Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Honestly? Good for them, nice to see some more hopefully good-quality manufacture larp kit hit the market. I've been feeling a fair few pangs of regret of late at not being able to attend Empire LRP (a very cool fest-scale larp in the UK where I played for a while, and was later on the plot team for) any more, and this isn't helping (Edit for clarity: Empire LRP isn't a WFRP larp about the Warhammer Empire or anything, it is its own entirely different thing - but it's always nice to have a wider range of kit to choose from when kitting up a character) Edited May 8 by Acrozatarim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 When it comes to AoS4 there are still quite a few things I want to know. They haven't discussed terrain despite it having a module to itself. What about artefacts? With battalions seemingly a thing of the past, how are these things chosen? What about heroic traits? Why are command models a module to themselves and sperate from commands? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
