Chariots and wagon could be like all the Ork Buggie, so many different versions and flavors of them

Slow progress after the initial burst of energy, as I work to get my core pdf vamp counts (& tomb kings) armies together, as well as getting my soulblight collection in ahape for aos. That said there may be a blood bowl league starting up near me, and I picked up the vampire team, only to find what will probably be my solution to the 'first party conversion' option for blood knight infantry / depth guard. the team box comes with 6 vampire players (2x3 but with different heads), with scale & armor aesthetic more or less matching the plastic blood knights & other more recent aos vampire stuff. One bloodbowl box, a couple spare bloodknight swords, plus, say, one box of crimson court should make for a reasonable unit of ten. It should also be possible to combine a bloodbowl vamp lower torso with a blood knight upper torso. Anyway, that's one problem solved. Probably still going to be a few weeks before I'm able to come back to make more progress on this, but def open to suggestions in the mean time.

How can you say that when we haven't seen today's article yet? The concept of battle tactics isn't a problem, the way they were executed in 3rd was. Take slay the warlord. There's nothing uninteracive about that battle tactic. It reinforces the narrative of the game rather than going against it like some of the book battle tactics do. If the article comes out and it's all the same as before with tactics for doing non interactive nonsense then I'll be right there sharing my disappointment with GW but it's not time for that yet. I'm not sure what is so lacking in immersion about the rules we've seen so far. I admit that battle tactics is probably the most important aspect of the game that's problematic but I'm at least going to wait until I read the article before I make my mid up. Praying is more thematic. The list building is narratively logical. Interactivity looks to have been improved. AoS has always been an objective control game. That hasn't changed.

Reminds me of the Rebel Grot Cutta from Gorkamorka

I might be late to the part but I just realized that the Old World starts in 2276. In 2297 we have The Affair of the False Grail when Maldred of Mousillon attempts to take the throne. This would be an amazing campaign setting. How we would involve the other factions is for smarter men than I to figure out.

I really don‘t like the battle tactics. If I want to play a game in a game, I‘ll play FF7 Rebirth where I can at least look at Tifa. I hope that the modular nature of the rules will truly let people not use that aspect.

I'd love an extended interview with that one dude because whatever their justification is I don't think it's reasonable tbh. It feels out of step with everything they are doing the time period of the first two AoS editions If the Scaremonger does succeed in putting the fear of the sun into the night goblins via a mask and hallucinations... Would the sungrots bully the cavegrots? Make fun of 'em for living in dank basements and eating junk food? Could be a fun dynamic if daygrots were jock bullies; that's a dynamic mostly present in the Orks and Grots of 40k and fantasy O&G but pretty absent in AoS. It'd be fun to have the Grots bullying each other for a change

That one GW dude is a hypocrite, since pretty much everything in Killteam and Warcry is usable in their main games.

Aaaaah I've never seen this art before; how cool! Stuff like this and the grot tanks from 40k is the vibe. The realms are so big and insane that they could do absolutely anything with the concept of a "daytime goblin" and if TOW is going to bogart whole races and factions I doubt they're going to just do "common goblins" which is sorta cool Dispossessed are a placeholder as far as I'm concerned. They're rereleasing the old night goblin kits because the idea of having *any* cross system models makes some GW dude sweat through his shirt. If they survive a substantial "not Fyerslayers or Kharadron" Duardin wave I'll be genuinely shocked.

I only got into the hobby after GW had squatted the Tomb Kings. My entire persona on here has been based on @KingBrodd's posturing and thinking it was fun.

This is great to hear. I’m glad AoS exists but it just doesn’t scratch my war gaming itch. 40K too for that matter. I’m glad GW is in a position of popularity that they’re able to devote resources to games that are a little crunchier and niche. Necromunda and TOW are my main focuses at the moment.

It’s my hope that with the Old World around and older kits becoming available Age of Sigmar can finally be its own thing without relying on nostalgia-bait and WHFB glow up’s.

Im kinda shocked to see that i made this 1,5 year ago XD. I would still like to see a desert theme with new Gitmob. Also imagine these but Gitmob and add a bigger catamaran version.

I’ve been involved with the hobby for more than 20 years and have only played the game once. When I was 13. this doesn’t stop me from making endless lists and buying models for said lists.

My Gitmob wishlist: - Chariots - Chariots - More Chariots That’s it really, just chariots. With ballistas or catapults even. Oh and some snotlings. Gonna need a pump wagon to go with them.

Sell scrap to humans. Stab humans in the back. Take back scrap. Profit.

I agree that they probably just mean last on the current roadmap. 3rd edition Warcry isn’t due till next year, so I’d imagine that’s when we get a setting change. Hopefully we get an updated roadmap before too long.

40k too?

I'm the opposite. I like most of the #NEWAOS articles and I can't wait to learn more about this edition. I'm not a fan of batlle tactics but I will wait until I see more things.

I think it'd be cool to see a grot faction that interacts with cities more, aside from just stealing their glass bottles like GSG. Kinda like star wars jawas where they pick up battlefield debris and sell it back to humans.

But then the same logic could be applied. If vanilla goblins belong to TOW, vanilla duardins belong to TOW as well, so no toys for them

I would love it if gitmobs got broken out into a separate faction! Having different "flavors" of a fantasy race is always so fun. I know people joke about aelves having 4 factions, but I would love to see 4 different "flavors" of goblin too! And duardin! And Orruks! All of them

Them combined with Grotbag scuttlers should focus as a sunworshipping-fast moving grot army. The ramshackle goblin part wiould be ramped up to eleven possibly drawing cues from old O&G siege weapons and the 40k grot committee that had similar vehicles:

If we're talking gitmob, im going to build on your anti-gloomspite wavelength and suggest that Gitmob would be a great place to see the Grotbag Scuttlers that were mentioned a handful of times Get real weird with it; more weird than "Kharadron scraps held aloft by squig balloons" If Gloomspite is "below" emphasize that Gitmob is "above!" I'd love to see air and land vehicles, calvary like Snarlfangs, and unique goblin troops now that the "vanilla" goblins are firmly a TOW thing. I'd love a fantasy goblin Evil Sunz Clan/Kult of Speed. Spin it out of captured Gholem/Kharadron fortresses and make a destruction "weird science" faction to compete with the Skaven and Chorfs! With all their antagonists taking their respective slice of the "crazy machinery!" pie, surely Gholems and Dispossessed would need to respond with their own toys!

finally got my hands on some Dawnbringer books and was shocked at how little new artwork there was. Plenty of awesome dioramas by the studio team, a lot of which had older (WHF) models in them. Soulbound has also been delaying some releases if I remember @Baron Klatz saying so. Champions of Chaos and the Ancient Empires supplement come to mind. These plus the way 4e is being marketed as #NEWAOS #AOSREFORGED is making me think/hope that AOS is going to get a deluge of new art that it deserves.
