The bats could totally be used as Fell Bats in AoS as well, in fact I'd go so far as to say that is exactly what they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecktron Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Pre-orders are online. Battlemages are in the Cities of Sigmar book, so expect a re-release of them soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charleston Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Warscrolls in the product pages were updated. The new pdfs can be downloaded. So Far Scourge Provateers no big news insode. Mostly I´ve found only new keywords. Dispossesed seem still to only have 1 wound and not 2 as roumoured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsharitt Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 So there's no unifying non-racial faction keyword and the bonesplitterz and Ironjawz heroes basically only work on their own faction(except Gordrakk, but he's supposed to be the Destruction version of Aracheon). So that book really is two distinct battle tomes in book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutton Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 There's still a lot of race-specific keywording in abilities, which makes me wonder just how efficient mixed armies will be. Big winners for Cities: Runelords can also dispel 1 endless spell in the hero phase, in a addition to their unbind, AND still get +2 to the roll. Longbeards can grumble about malign sorcery and dispel 1 endless spell. Maybe my favorite rule change. Nomad Prince has an amazing hero debuff that doesn't require any kind of roll and has a decent range. Eternal Guard are hitting on 2+, wounding on 3+, with a 3+ save as long as they didn't move. Pheonix Guard have rend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for a little more cross-race synergy, epscially since I'd be running Dispossed along side some very short Freeguild handgunners, crossbows and guards, plus a much flatter helblaster vollygun.

Well you answered your own question. They are not supposed to combine the best of all armies into one army. You can't have best movement, best magic, best shooting, best offense and best defense.

Zanzou Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 If I'm reading this correctly... Can anyone tell me a possibility as to why they would have only kept 1 poor unit with the "devoted of sigmar" keyword, when all of the other devoted of sigmar (who would give buffs) have been removed?

I would guess there was a non-zero chance that some of the decision to remove models were made after the battletome was done. Maybe there's a chance the excelcior warpriest is in the book(but I guess that's unlikely since he's probably be up for preorder), Though Shadow Warriors did get moved to shadow blades, so there was some shuffling to accommodate removals.

Kyriakin Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Went immediately to the Kharybdyss warscroll to see if the most pathetic and utterly irrelivant rule in the game (i.e. Kharybdyss healing) had improved. Wow, yes it has. Before: If slay a model with the Fanged Tentacles (only), roll a D6 and on a 6 (i.e. 1-in-6 chance) get one wound. WTF! After: If slay a model (with any weapon), always heal D3. Also, I am picturing the Darkling Covens players ripping all the skull heads from their Executioners right now, and frantically clipping the Black Guard heads from the sprues.

Overread Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Reviews of the new mini rulebook. Overall sounding really good and cuts down on a lot of bulk carrying of rules. The only things I think that really feel like they are missing that would have been nice to add are the mercenary and meeting engagement rules; otherwise they seem really well put together. I can accept FAQ/Errata not being thrown in because they tend to update fairly often and the logistics of design, print, ship, supply of a physical book would have left it already out of date in those terms by the time it arrived now (to say nothing of in under a month when Orruks and Cities get FAQ and Errata documents of their own).

madmac Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Also the unlock requirement for battleline Flaggelants is simply that your general is human. So devoted is very much a dead subfaction for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
