michu Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Cubicle 7 announced on reddit that we should have some info about AoS RPG soon. Here is the post. Spoiler Howdy folks, Mods, hope this alright to post here! My name is Emmet Bryne, I'm a producer with Cubicle 7 Entertainment. Some of you might know us already as last year we released Warhammer Fantasy 4th Edition. We also make the The One Ring and Adventures in Middle-earth RPGs for the Lord of the Rings, as well as the Doctor Who RPG. More importantly, we are currently in development on the Age of Sigmar Roleplaying Game. In the coming weeks we'll have some big news to share about the Age of Sigmar RPG, so if you'd like to keep up to date you can head over to our Facebook page at the link below. I'm also on twitter where you'll find some of my wandering thoughts as I help write and develop the game. And lastly, there is Warhammer Fantasy RPG Discord, and they have been kind enough to create the "aosrpg" room for us in there. Thanks folks. Any questions, pop them below, but just be warned that there's only so much I can answer right now. All the best - Emmet C7 Facebook C7 Twitter My Twitter Ratcatchers Discord PS: I realise this is sort of a "news about upcoming news" post, but I wanted to start engaging with all of you fine folk sooner rather than later. We're starting to build the community around the Age of Sigmar RPG and I'm keen to get everyone's thoughts while we're still deep in development. Thanks all 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 @Ben As Cubical 7 seem keen to reach out to the community might be worth you dropping them an email and invitation to head over here to TGA! Throw up a subsection for the RPG game on the forums and welcome them to come share news and tid bits here (since we'd only be repeating any news announced here anyway). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khadgar567 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 well the picture feels like dragon wing and this makes malerions aelves good as confirmed plus we are getting near to wrath and rapture and flesh eater courts kinda accidentally confirmed there are multiple armies gonna be released in the same batch. thus malerion releasing hounds to keep slaneesh in check is kinda perfect simultaneous release which wets everyone's appetite same time and boosts the sales sky high.

If they are in the public marketing and consultation phase chances are they have written the core of the book already. Or at least got the solid foundation and direction that they want to take established. There's nothing worse than trying to interact with the public if you've got no idea what kind of product you're making to begin with. Even if the market hates it, it at least gives a solid foundation to base discussions off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michu Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) And we have an explanation of delay Spoiler Howdy, There were a couple of factors to the delay. A big part was the focus on Warhammer Fantasy, but as well as that the company has also moved its offices from the UK to Ireland and greatly expanded the team. One of the first things to fall away when things are stretched thin and deadlines loom is communication. However, we now have a dedicated Social Media and Marketing hire who is helping to correct this. A big part of that is also having the producers for each line (so myself for Age of Sigmar) reach out to the community and to try to spread the news. If you'r interested our CEO Dom posted about the changes back in November here: http://cubicle7.co.uk/cubicle-7-news/ And if I can help any more just let me know EDIT: And also some introduction to the system Spoiler Nope, Age of Sigmar will be a brand new system built from the ground up. Exploring the Old World and exploring the Mortal Realms are very different experiences so we wanted a system that felt more like Age of Sigmar. In relation to VTT support, this is something we're working on across all of our lines. I play online myself so I'm keen to support it. Would you like to see full adventures or would simply having maps and handouts be enough? How in-depth would you want the support Edited January 16, 2019 by michu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPGs can take a long time to playtest. If they plan on releasing the game this year, then it wouldn't surprise me at all if the book is largely finished, and they are busy working out the various kinks and bugs with the way abilities and mechanics interact. The core mechanics and the structure of the game has most likely been set in stone for a while, and that's what much of the text will likely be.

Skabnoze Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I might not have time to play traditional RPGs much anymore, but I will happily buy any books that provide more information on the mortal realms and its inhabitants. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Syf Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 It’s obviously a rotated view of Abhorash’s greaves! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumulzag Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 So I know it's a bit of a longshot but I've seen some rumors about older Battletomes getting updated this summer (with new rules, their own terrain pieces, endless spells, etc.) and I'm wondering if the Beastclaw Raiders were apart of these rumors or whether I'll have to wait a while before an update?

michu Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Another info about AoS RPG: - only Order factions as PC in Core Book (understandable) - classes as pre-built "archetypes" - bestiary with monsters and mundane creatures 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ageofpaddsmar Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Not my model but look at the shield similar pattern. Although the spiky parts are more curved in the rumour pic. So maybe seraphon underworlds warband Edited January 17, 2019 by ageofpaddsmar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 It's not even close. Rumour engine looks for me similar to insect wings - maybe vespid adventurer for WHQ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ageofpaddsmar Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I wouldn't say not even close. The smaller part of the shield where thet are closer together its very similar other the the curves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 But on this shield we have grooves between scales and on rumour engine it's more like veins on dragonfly's wings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ageofpaddsmar Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Having looked at it again I think your right. Still the patterns are similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many erratas in these two books, and the KO ones happened 3 months after it came out... And still msrp's full cost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Mackay Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 personally, i say update all the books whose allegience abilities are printed in the generals handbook first so they dont have to keep reprinting them every year and it frees up space for other content 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Most of the above tomes are super early AoS battletomes, not even close to the template / formating of the latest tomes. They need indeed a refresh in addition to updated infos, allegiance, wizzardry (à la AoS 2à and even some new minis (in which we can count specific endless spells) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Stormcast-Eternals-Heads-Upgrade-1-2019 https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Stormcast-Eternals-Heads-Upgrade-2-2019 Two sets of resin heads for Stormcast Eternals from Forgeworld! I wonder if they'll address alternate heads for other factions too - I hope so if only to avoid the Stormcast becoming Marines in marketing fully! 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
