Brian Andrews Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I think release wise AoS will be fine this year. The whole Skirmish thing is slightly confusing because the advert doesn't have a 'proper' logo. Other than that we know there's a new starter set/game called Thunder and Blood coming out in the summer that was shown off at the GAMA games fair in the US and we have Shadowspire to look forward to later in the year. Were only in second quarter of the year and i hope we see at least one Battletome a quarter but even without that over the summer we've had two brand new Battletomes with Tzeench Disciples and Kharadron Overlords and the relaunch of Stormcast Eternals and Blades of Khorne.

To me, the overall setting has to stay believble. If I imagine a supermechanized Grot next to a club wielding Bonesplitter....it just doesen`t seem to fit. I have the same issue with the Kharadron and the Stormcats. And I think the people in Nottingham do see this as well. So I expect some of the older factions to get a more up to date look and feel. I see your point, but the thing is we are talking about 9 different realms. Theres room for "high fantasy" technology. Me? Id love to see goblins as a bizarro version of kharadron. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not directed at you specifically, but folks seem to have so completely moved their minds over to the post -GHB state of "armies" that they forget that a primary joy of AoS, as sold since Day 1, is exactly the thing you wish you had - and already do - the ability to plop down a few orcs or Khorne guys and have a game. AoS was built to do this. Only the "Must make 2000 point Matched Play armies" mentality prevents you from doing what you express a desire to do. That said, a small two-player box would be sweet. ☺ Definitely a fair point, but I personally disagree a bit as really small games of AoS feel pretty boring and stripped down. Some supplementary optional rules for a more advanced small game experience would be really welcome. I've spoken to some local organizers who told me exactly this when I asked them what GW could do to help improve community development. They said that Kill Team was a great seller for 40k in part because it was an easy entry point while still being appealing to more advanced gamers. AoS currently lacks that pull. It has small scale covered, but not the ability to keep veteran gamers interested for more than a game or two (at least when playing small scale).

Looks Aelfish to me, as it really reminds me of the Shoulder spikes found on Chaos models but more orderly. Almost Stormcast but not complete. In that same vein it also doesn't seem Death to me because it would be more spikey or boney, for lack of better words. So if I had to make a guess it would be a High Aelf warrior.

Greasygeek Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 AOS skirmish anyone? yesterday there was a game of Skirmish on Warhammer Live. How come no one is debating this? I didn't see the episode so I am pretty eager to hear about it. Rules, previews, thoughts and rumors. Who got some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuneBrush Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 ForgeWorld have just announced the re-release of the Warpgnaw Verminlord: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Warpgnaw-Verminlord-2017 New Warscroll is basically an Exalted Verminlord - however as with the other Exalted Daemons, no points yet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvDJ Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 The re-release of the forgeworld verminlord makes me happy, i missed getting one the first time. I love the model so will definitely picking myself up one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Marius Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 It has fewer wounds than the other verminlords! And its spell is Sayl-lite: +6" move plus fly to ANY friendly unit, 6+ to cast... cmon guys think this nonsense through before publishing please! Model is lovely tho...

DinoTitanedition Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 If you don`t like it, don`t field it. If you don`t want to play against it, talk to your opponent. That simple. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the principle is the same in this case tho, long-bomb your murder unit into combat on turn 1 when there are no enemy units in no-mans land. Fine in theory, can be costed fairly in points i believe, but so open to abuse that why would you do it? As for not playing against such a model, i would not deny an opponent the chance to field whatever they like - i will however reserve the right to moan about it on forums like this one! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinoTitanedition Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 If the misuse of that ability is not justified in your eyes, the place to moan about it, is actually in the game and that towards your opponent. At least you relised it`s moaning One of the tournamentcracks once told me, there is no bad armies, only bad generals. Never relized how much this fits characterwise as well until now. Jokes aside, if an opponent actively and knowingly destroys the joyful atmosphere of your game, it would be best to widen your selection of opponents with more relaxed players. But then again, it`s just a suggestion, not criticism or a complaint. Everybody enjoys the game in their own way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 An extra 6" movement and there is moaning? Sayl takes it a bit to far at 18" perhaps, but I think 6" for one unit is really not bad at all. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
