Maybe we'll get an ideaof where this is going in the next few days? He's the biggest momma's boy in the history of fantasy fiction. Oedipus gives him funny looks.

DantePQ Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 It's going to go full circle, she is going to be Slaanesh worshipper and Malerion is against Chaos (now even more as they took his Ulthuan prize) so it will once again go back and forth.

Galas Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Yeah! Just look how the hate flow in our own rules question section! The potential trolling in a comentary section its pretty damm high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Indeed, should maybe make it a money entry service to deter the trolls, doesn't have to be major, just enough to get details then perma-ban the toxic part of the community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requizen Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 So nothing new for AoS. Interesting note that 40k is getting somewhat "AoS'd", it sounds like they're porting the Battleshock system, independent statlines (no Infantry type, all units have their own move etc), and Rend system (or something similar, "armor piercing value"). Played a game of Shadespire. Took about 40 minutes and I got a good feeling for it. There's a deck construction aspect and then the game takes place on a Hex gameboard, maneuvering troops to get objectives, kill each other, and win. 5 named Bloodreavers, 3 named Liberators. All will have Warscrolls in AoS but will only be available in the box set (for now). Other forces coming with release so not just Sigmar v Khorne. Attack/Defend dice a la XWing but different. Was fun, quick, and you can tell there was quite a bit of depth available, could be a great tourney or club game. Oh yeah, the biggest news imo? One of the Stormcast Shadespire models is a female Stormcast.Crappy phone picture but her character card uses "she" and there is a definite feminine but not sexualized style to her armor. It looks amazing and I can't wait to get my own! Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-P Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 13 hours ago, DynamicCalories said: Well in DOTA - the gist at least from what I remember - is that the combatants fight an infinite number of the same battles across the multiverse, and that they go to the underworld and work their way back to the mortal realm for every respawn, the maze they pass through feeling ever more complex as they die over and over. The reason I bring this up is because the branding is off from Age of Sigmar. It's Warhammer: Underworlds, not AoS: Underworlds, or just AoS. Maybe the subtitle of Underworld and more comic artwork is to slightly separate it from the mainline Age of Sigmar line And AoS reminds me a bit of Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm... A mish-mash of maps and heroes: Nobody cares about fluff as long as the gameplay is good and that it looks cool. Fluff can be fixed later. Teleporting to and from the maps/realms are quite similar. An HQ where heroes hang out between battles even if they die (Azyr) is also quite similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heroes end up there for various reasons (mostly treasure) and get trapped. The game represents them struggling against one another and seeking glory and treasure in order to escape - not knowing that it won't matter since there is no escape. When a Hero dies, they are reflected back along the mirrors or something and continue fighting. They were pretty vague about it.
