Looks like a Wizard focus this time around. Also this looks like it'll be running until 4.0. Hopefully at 4pm. *Huffs Hopeium* Wizard season is good, all armies except khorne can play in it (thanks arcane tome change) but khorne is very anti-magic anyways. Arcane tome lets you spec into the season at a pretty low cost if your wizards are weak, and it seems like they went out of their way to not leave armies high and dry. With Optimal focus both sides are tempting, and even armies that have wizards might want the CP instead (Like my kruleboyz). Also Hoarfrost is one of the strongest spells in the game I think, and it sound like there might be an entire spell lore. Not sure how good it'll be on my frost themed armies, but I'm sure I can find something to take advantage of it. Bonesplitterz could be super nasty with the extra rend actually. The one thing I'm not sure I like is the primal magic extra dice part. Its good to make bad wizards more consistent and valuable, but making it available for unbinding might have a dampening effect on the "magic meta".

Ganigumo Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Also on the topic of Hoarfrost how does it interact exactly? If you change a hit roll from say a 5+ to a 3+, you can still add 1 from stuff like all out attack right? Replacement then modifier Does that work the same for rend? Like if you changed your rend to -3, and were under the effects of a buff that increases rend by 1, you would go to rend 4 right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because you've changed the characteristic therefore it can be modified after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like that part, and kind of wish there had been a command trait or artefact in the last season that let someone opt into counting as a GC, even if it was just for scoring. Just now, cofaxest said: You mean Khorne, Slayers and Kharadrons? arcane tome is locked out of the Wizard, Priest and Khorne keywords., slayers and KO have non-priest heroes so they can opt-in if they want to. allied wizards should count too. Now that doesn't mean its a good option for them, we'll need to wait and see, but at worst it will give them an option to score some of the season's battle tactics. KO could probably do with the nerf too, as long as they don't get hit too hard by other changes as well. Not sure how Fyreslayers will end up though, they've kind of sat in the same spot in the middle of the pack metawise for the entire edition even despite things like bounty hunters. Maybe they'll get a few point drops to compensate (like how they nerfed savage big boss for the infantry hero season...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone will one day cook up an Illithid cult with this mini as the leader for AoS… 😅 Off the top of my head: A xenomorph styledweapon locked in slumber in the darkest chambers of the Old Ones Temple ships. Unleashed as extermination weapons to scour areas and rid the population before building begins. A Spawn of Tzunki, Deep Sea creature brought up from the depths to fight at the side of the Seraphon. Voidborn Auxillia, bascially Vespids/kroot for Seraphon, survivors of another destroyed World that has aligned with the Seraphon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great ideas, all of them - but it will still probably look "off" I figure... then again, with such a theme that's the whole point.

You win this round decisively. 🤙 I just want all the cool kits. I do also think Seraphon can/could, be more playful with the Alien aspect of their design. On the other end of things, I’ve seen some things recently about having Seraphon/Lizardmen join 40k as a transferable army like Daemons. Initially I thought, no, not without big guns. But Daemons really don’t have guns and it seems to work fine as an aesthetic at least. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently GW thought that showing the 4 Harbingers again alongside the GHB would count as "new miniatures"... Speaking of which, I'm really glad to see one last GHB before the new edition, lasting one year. And dedicated to small magic users. BTW the Realm of Ruins game play and overall look is very promising (the Gurish landscape and KB Amberstone mining site are great!). I won't play vidya but will surely gift it to friends and family. With Blacktalon (also confirmed Thunderstriksed!!), we at last start to have some cool AOS media. Getting all this - and CoS - before 4th edition next year (and TOW) is quite nice for worldbuilding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
