You sign up as either a protector or destroyer of the city (regardless of faction) and then have a score sheet to complete to earn points. If you get 18 points that you get a success for your side and a Coin Malleus. Points are for: Paint a full Vanguard or Spearhead box (6 points) Paint a leader/hero (1 point) x2 Paint a battleline unit (1 point) x2 Paint a behemoth (1 point) Paint an artillery unit (1 point) Paint any unit (1 point) x4 Play a Path to Glory game (1 point) x4 Play any game of Age of Sigmar (1 point) x4 Complete a Path to Glory Quest (2 points) And then there's bonus points for introducing a new player to the game Wow, I'm ngl painting a battleline unit should be worth 3x as much as a leader or hero AT LEAST. Painting battleline for some factions is legitimately soul draining, especially when you then need 40 of them 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could definitely see Chaos Duardin, Skaven and Ogors being the big releases for this Edition. Alongside Wave 2s for Idoneth, Fyreslayers, Ossiarch, Kruelboyz, Kharadron and Cities. Wave 3 for Lumineth as well. Theres plenty of space and time for all that to happen. Malerion? I think he'll be the big bad in 5.0 with his Aelves joining DOK and Dark Elves leaving CoS.

Maybe that is the plan for 5th edition, as we should reset the cycle and go back to focus in order like 1st edition.

Before Vedra's reform 9/10 crusades ended failing. Now if also the cities start failing Sigmar better go to another game in his Maleus asteroid now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a leak about which city survives. Honestly through the whole narrative I was more rooting for the crusaders in Ghyran, marshall Thorian speaks to me way more than Zenestra. Hope she turns into a tree or something and survives the narrative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Verdigris failing, but her succumbing to her Ghyranite powers in the last defense and appearing later on as a Sylvaneth character? I think that would be a nice plot twist and a cool way to give an army a name with some lore behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lost Sigmarite Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Guys, look at the big tatoo on the new edition SCE. What is it ? Do you know it ? Ngl it looks a bit like the lower half of the brand of sacrifice in Berserk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah both thorian and vedra are much more compelling characters than zenestra to me personally, zenestra is distinctively more sinister and shady. Maybe thorian dies and get reforged by sigmar, that'd be interesting imo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say so on the page (if you read between the lines ) I'm hoping to go to the UK event on that weekend but lets see how many wife points I can save (I'm already at a Warmaster event at the start of the month!). I agree Battalions will go. I suspect we will see something similar to 40K where you choose a 'detachment' (which will probably be called Battalions!) to theme your list and build from there. As much as I love alternating activations, I suspect part of the issue with it is how the general public would see it. If you are making a game which anybody could pick up, having a traditional turn system is an easier sell than alternating units. Plus there can be a lot of book keeping with such systems. Not saying it's right or wrong but that's probably the feedback GW have had. Fair point Gaz to be honest. Being able to just "do your stuff" then let them do "their stuff" is a much easier system. Reactions being brought into heresy was a game changer IMO and it'll be interesting to see what they've done with it for AoS 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is the barrier between a past act and a spoiler considered? Just asking. This happens in Dawnbringers 4, which was released 2 months ago. I am trying to use spoiler tags as much as possible when I talk about stuff related to the current book (book 5), but probably I would skip them in a month or so once Book 6 is around. It is true that is not like talking about stuff from the second edition, but for me 2 months is enough to talk about it freely. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
