Accidentally muted themselves and honestly it just makes the stream better

I decided just to follow the thread stream here instead about halfway through.  All killer of seeing the new models, no filler of commentary by GW employees.

I'm not a fan of the boss riding the troggoth, but I love the face on the troggoth's belly-plate.

[pixieproxy]

Maybe the overcosted heroes and leaders in recent books are because of the new heroic actions?

Love

Knight-Arcanum (w/mask, meh without)

Praetors

Killaboss(both versions)

Boltboyz

Knight Vexillor

Vindicators

Swampcalla

Murknob

Meh

Lord Imperatant

Gutrippaz

Dislike

Yndrasta

Annihilators (hahahaha seriously?)

Hobgrotz

 

There are some really nice models in there and this box is going to be extremely popular. Fans of the old Stormcast aesthetic do not need to worry as the annihilators are like the old models but on steroids (literally).

The name Kruleboyz is really childish. I was hoping it was a nickname that was given to them rather than the actual name Apart from that and the hobgrotz, the designs are pretty cool. 

The only shame is that Warhammer Community confirmed it is FOMO. Let's hope a made to order is done if needed.

Pretty sure Eddie just confirmed they can be played in Warclans.

Mirebrute gut plate has one eye. Possibly nod to our fimir or another unshown beasty?

Yes, he did.

[Mattrulesok]

They just confirmed boards are getting smaller

[Acrozatarim]

Ok, so, interesting notes about the rules they mentioned:

 - Command abilities to offer reactive stuff in every phase. Including against/during enemy shooting, then? Or was that hyperbole?

 - Monsters getting something new? Mentioned for stomping - general stomp attack/impact hit rules coming?

 - Something new re predatory spells, which I didn't really catch. Not sure what could be going on wrt predatory spells getting new options?

[Souleater]

Are Troggoths a type of greenskin?

 

That one appears to have nipples, so I am guessing not.

They did say something about charges with monsters didn't catch what exactly

The endless spells thing was that they move in each Hero Phase. So from my understanding it means they move twice as often.

This was better than the whole Warhammer Fest.

Do you mean players are just going to accept playing minimum board sizes?  Because that isn't GW, that's the player base's doing in 40k.

This is my favorite model in the range, in addition to the Killaboss on the Gnashtoof. The armored, but shambled together look really nails it for me, but the Gutrippa spearmen and hobgrots look plain to me.  Personally, for me it’s going to depend if more infantry are released, specifically an armored and more elite version of the Gutrippas. If not, then I’m probably going to pass.

They're completely separate creatures that often fight together

[Dreddships]

Pour one out for the 40k community who finally had some new Orks just for AOS to pull up with some too.

AOS really is GW's favourite child

They said official board size for AoS is being brought in line with 40K (60x44 from memory) for matched play. Larger boards are still ok and in reality we all play on whatever size table we have.

[dirkdragonslayer]

Not sure how I feel about the Trogg. He looks fine, but doesn't really match the other varieties of Troggoths. I can't put my finger on it.

Also since he has an Orruk rider that means Troggherd won't get him too

[Sigmarusvult]

Okey, that preview was amazing ! I am also very happy to hear that monster are going to have extra rules, the high point costs of Sons of Behemat and Kragnos feel more reasonable now.

[Souleater]

@dirkdragonslayernot necessarily. It might be that you can build him without the rider and put him in a GSG army similar to Terrorgheists.

[Zappgrot]

Yea so this is going to be 40k 9.5 or something.  I love the models but every thing they spoiled for the game sounds like the worst thing possible. More  focus on hero's and monsters.  ;-(  smaller tabel sizes ;-(   more abilities ;-(  A bonus command point for going second ;-( (what the hell in AOS you want to go second do they even play their own game?)  Uh i gues we will see.  This is the bad thing about warhammer as an hobby your kind of  depenent on the whims of GW even if they have ideas that are meh.
