novakai Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 3 hours ago, Enoby said: I 100% agree with you and your logic is sound, but at the same time I do remember the army-specific forums being busier even when we were in the "GHB Allegiance ability" era, where there was less choice. I could very well be mistaken, but I used to go on the Chaos forum part a lot and there was loads of discussion even when a faction didn't have a book recently, but that seems to have dried up. Even Maggotkin, last time I checked, have minimal discussion. I think the only Chaos faction thread I've seen gets tonnes of discussion in the past two years is Slaanesh, and that's because it has a dedicated following and it was a very poor book. I reckon a lot of this is likely just the excitement of things being new - despite the fact that the GHB allegiance abilities were very narrow, they were novel so ended up being exciting. Now allegiance abilities are a given so they don't drive that same excitement, and as you said, the books aren't usually complex enough to spark debate on what's good. I think AoS may be in a bit of a tricky middle ground when it comes to complexity. It's definitely more complex than before, which probably turns the most casual crowd off. But it's nowhere near as complex as 40k with different weapon options and a much more piecemeal design to lists. It's not that one's better than the other, but by the sound of what others have said, currently AoS is too complex to be the beer and pretzels game it used to be. On the other hand, some people I play with have argued it's too simple and that they end up taking the same stuff as it's objectively better (not that complexity will always fix this, but I think what they're saying is that there isn't enough customisation to make the 'worse' choice interesting). The forum lost a lot of people during Covid-19 at least due to my observation but I have also notice a lack of YouTube battle reports and forum discussion in general as well. tournament play may only be up because post Covid environment behavior and people want to spent more time having fun but I hold reservation that going to be an upward trend given that the outlook of the future seems inauspicious at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmac Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) Mancrusher Mob and Mancrusher Gargant as separate warscrolls. Also, there's an allies section now. It's gonna be way easier to run SoB armies if you're allowed to fill points with allies. Edited September 26, 2022 by madmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never looked at SoB in app form, but in the book at least we're talking about one page warscrolls for each so it's either a change or some heavy print padding.

It looks great your Swoleness, they managed to capture your good side. I know I'm a bit late to the speculation party for Underworlds, but maybe we might get a new faction teaser instead of a range update? We know that GW uses Underworlds and Warcry as testing grounds for new ideas for each faction, Aztec Khorne, Zarbag's Gitz, the new Witch. Hunter's, etc. Maybe, just maybe........ we get a new ancient Egyptian/mesopotamian themed faction/warband(s) this time around..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nezzhil Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) They are Darkoath pariahs. Could be they are Chaos traitors? They use animalistic spirits instead Chaos gifts. Edited September 26, 2022 by Nezzhil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The artwork shows some cities of Sigmar characters complete with large feathers. That seems to be a pretty safe bet as to what's on the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitzdee Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) Those models look great. Might have to pick up some of those grave guard for Warcry.
