[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

All I'm thinking about now is that we need to pray and wait for a new battletome, what is now looks like some kind of porridge without an idea for an army with outdated profiles and rules.

From AoS RPG

“Most disturbing of all is the fate of Barak-Durmmaz, a sky-port entirely overwhelmed by the Nighthaunt advance. Death has not abated their hunger for aether-gold, and now sky-fleets must contest with undead Duardin in the race for airborne resources”

Reddit is looking for deeper meaning in a photo of a German brochure from the Dominion. In short, German speakers translate that the grungni is creating a completely new army (not a squad in new armor). Everyone is dancing and rejoicing at the new gnomes.

I think everyone knows my opinion by now, but I'll say it one more time on the correct thread

Thank you @Feorag for compiling this table:

As everyone can see, Slaanesh got a pretty high points increase, especially on the KoS and Shalaxi. I may be wrong here, but from what I've seen Slaanesh has had the highest increase throughout the GHB.

And if Slaanesh was tearing up the meta, this would be understandable. 

However, as some may already know, Slaanesh's points were a hotly contested topic. In fact, in a survey of over 300 players (not just Slaanesh players), 79% of respondents said they believed a significant number of units were overcosted. This survey was sent by numerous people to the rules team, with one person getting a response saying they'd pass it on to the lead designers.

If you'd like to know more about the results of the survey, please find it here:

 

In addition, throughout all tournaments posted on by the AoS shorts Twitter, only a single Slaanesh list has placed within the top 5. 

With both the community and the tournaments saying that Slaanesh was a bit too weak at the moment, and a large community push to make GW aware of people's feelings, I can say I'm thoroughly disappointed that not only has Slaanesh been nerfed by the GHB, but it was the most nerfed army.

I won't post a collection of the comments found about the subject across various sites. I will however say that they are 90% negative and 10% trying to cope with it and see a silver lining (which is commendable).

Yeah, it's easy to say "well everyone got an increase so there's no reason that Slaanesh is special in that regard", but I hope the points above help to contextualise people's disappointment. 

It's not that we were nerfed, it's that we were the most nerfed army points wise despite not doing well in tournaments and a previous large community backlash. It seems incredibly out of touch. 

I will try some games to test if it's as bad as I think it is, but I have already played some AoS 3 games (with AoS 2 points) and I can say that while Slaanesh was buffed, they were not OP - in fact, they felt about right for their old points (which, as discussed, were overwhelmingly thought of as too high).

I am disappointed with what the wood elves have been turned into, but also a fan of dark elves, I believe that the next army should still be Umbranet, in fact, this is a last-god who does not have an army in the AoS

[The Rumour Thread]

So, more rumors arrived about the further development of AoS in the next three years.

New factions:
Dawnbringer Crusade - Sigmar Cities Soft Reboot Coming Early 2022
Umbranet - late 2022
Chaos Dwarves - early 2023, at the end of the campaign, 3rd editions will build a huge warp cannon to "All Azir to dust"

The first updated battlefields of the third edition will be Chaos Beasts, Maggotkins, Glumspeit Gitz and Ogora

There will be a glumspite battlebox versus the beasts of chaos, in which there will be a new skuttleboss on a spider, spider riders and rockgats against new dumblings, jaberslits and bulgors
(That is, from the side of the goblins, only a new boss on the spider, from the side of the beasts of chaos, everything is new)

They also promise a new SK Ogorov with gluttons, lead belchers, iron blaster and a plastic slot

When Kragonos said “my people are gone”, he might literally mean it

Everyone of them, gone

The city ruin thing he was looking at also doesn’t necessarily belong to his people.

The city might be turned into a ruin, very recently...

Any info on Umbraneth plz?
