Big Kim Woof-Woof Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The Chaos Sorcerer Lord is still being sold on the Aussie store, no mention of it being on Last Chance. Tempted to get it before it disappears... although I've already got a plethora of old Sorcerer models... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. Or at least an AoS one. Maybe we get a shadow or part of a mini that is going to be shown in the preview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GloomkingWortwazi Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The logistics over there is back to being abysmal again. It's becominng very frustrating. 4 weeks to be able to pre-order what the rest of the world has ordered and then wait another 2 for it to actually ship. At this point, having any idea of what is coming out when requires some kind of Divination. They need to cool their heels on releases... it's entering Hasbro MTG levels of stupid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still working with the perspective of no logictic problems. The Suez Channel is having problem again and that is the most suspected culprit of the delay of all the boxes that contains terrain. I am tired of this situation, they prefer to have people mad instead of having a full warehouse of their next releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollow Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) I really hope that the AoS Design studio reconfigures how it approaches Narratives going forward. I would much rather see a Grand Narrative campaign book released every 6 months or so throughout an edition and for the end-of-edition narrative to be reduced to 4 books (One centered on each Grand Alliance) I think that 6 books for Dawnbringers is too long. Trying to squeeze in 6 books in what is basically the last 6 months of an edition feels crushed narratively and in terms of faction support. Having a Grand Narrative Campaign book every 6 months or so would divide an edition's 3-year cycle into 6, 6-month Epochs that could be narratively framed around a specific race, faction, event or realm etc. The last 6 months or so of an edition should see releases that help people prepare for the next edition. (Release a specific "type" of unit for each faction that will be influential in the following edition, like Warmachines, or cavalry or monsters) Edited May 13 by Hollow 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They realised it is too much and the 6th book won't be released. Like Broken Realms Alarielle. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 6 books in a year is quite reasonable, but I agree that 4 could be a better approach if you want to commit to 4 to 6 books in the last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollow Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) I think an Edition release schedule something along the lines of... June 2024 - Dec 2024 = Rulebook, Campaign Book, x 4 Battletomes. Jan 2025 - Jun 2025 = Campaign Book, x 5 Battletomes. July 2025 - Dec 2025 = Campaign Book, x 5 Battletomes. Jan 2026 - Jun 2026 = Campaign Book, x 5 Battletomes. July 2026 - Dec 2026 = Campaign Book, x 5 Battletomes. Jan 2027 - June 2027 = Campaign Book, x 4 Grand Alliance Narrative Books. July 2027 = 5th Edition That is 1 AoS Publication per month for the entirety of the edition (Not including General's Handbooks.)

The story should feel like a natural part of the setting, not something contrived for the purposes of an end-of-season campaign. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In favour of Embergard: - Embergard/ Default City 2 banner. - A lot of Wheel iconography in the new pic. - CoS Battletome shows a Skavens icon where Embergard is supposed to be (but this could be before being settled). In favour of Hel Crow: - Close to the sea, as seen in the trailer. Opposite to how Embergard is in the middle of mountains far from the sea. - Hel Crow featured in April Fools. Including a new detailed city crest. - Hel Crow region map in the background of the paint #NewAoS liberator stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the top image with Tahlia Vedra is Embergard while the lower image is Hel crown where Vermindoom starts .

Ragest Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) I feel nothing about those images. The city invented six months ago has fallen, and the character invented less than a year ago is looking worried at it. Where are all the stories that started in second edition? The old and (barely) developed characters we had three (or six) years ago? Edited May 13 by Ragest 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michu Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 It's simple. They are not finished so the players can use them for their campaigns. Solving every plot point very quickly is not a good thing. AoS is doing it too fast for me anyway. Setting > story. And I really despise this "but this is new character/new place, why should I care?" approach. What are they supposed to do? Not introduce new things? They can't destroy only old established cities. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
