Vasshpit Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) @Baron Klatz Thank you. I appreciate that. I dont know how they'd portray them on the tabletop though. They seem beyond reasonable miniature size albeit a really cool idea. That story bit tells of ironjawz transports. This is definitely something I'd love to see on the tabletop more. Using Kruleboyz and gitmob as an example I think a gnarly water buffalo for krules and a gnarly plains bison for gitmob would make for wonderful and fun minis as well as new and fun gameplay. One could only imagine many things for other factions. Why should the overlords have all the transport fun. I've never been a fan of the magically teleporting of units across the tabletop for most armies. Things like Tzeentch, etc I can understand but for the most part it just seem creatively and mechanically lazy. Bring on transport beasts!!! 🤘 Edited February 17 by Vasshpit 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nezzhil Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 19 hours ago, Whitefang back me up said: What do you think of Aqshy? Or Indexes? No reason for asking… Also someone said something about an model called the avatar of the rat god? Thats not correct. It’s just the 5th Chaos god - The Horned Rat. Okay... The only point I am agree is with indexes. A few books are not avaliable to buy anymore and the number is increasing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I agree that Gorkamorka, the chaos gods and Sigmar should never get models but AoS is pretty strongly inspired by Norse mythology. That's a setting where the gods walked among mortals even before Marvel came along. For me it's ok if any of the gods that were formally mortals are in the game. Sigmar being the exception as the whole point of his narrative is that he realised getting directly involved was a bad idea. The horned rat was never mortal so it doesn't make sense to do a Horned Rat model. An avatar would be fine though. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBrodd Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Ive not been excited for a launch box in quite some time. I love me some Kruelboyz but Skaven being in a starter is just so Warhammer. Its time the sidelined Factions took centre stage. Skaven, Ogors and Duardin it is your Edition to shine!! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 40k is in a much better spot then it was in 9th. Now the whole tossing out super expensive rule books every couple of years is getting real old but what they did for the state of the game is better. If they do the same for AoS 4th it wont be as bad as people think. Of course if GW would go full digital the transition from edition to edition would be much faster and smoother overall. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of rulebooks is absurd, but I’d be fine with it going either way this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much hope 4th does something to revamp primary/secondaries and rend/MW/saves. Plus trim a lot of the bloat that's been going on. Don't mind more interesting sub-factions but there are layers upon layers of rules which just makes the game tedious... Not to mention the fantastic idea of introducing more and more markers/counters to keep track of. Personally I am a huge fan of the 40k detachment rules since it doesn't demand you play X faction in this way only. A side note, selling off your army (like some people apparently did) because of something like that sounds really odd to me since everybody knows there is no way in heck GW is going leave SM players hanging for long. I got a feeling they're going to regret that choice very soon. Edited February 17 by pnkdth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think launching a brand new game is at all the same as an index. Obviously all the models that came over got different rules for a completely different game.
