    I've been sat here for the last 10 minutes watching a world clock so fingers crossed we've made it in!

    I note that Adepticon should have started on 25th.  Given that the preview isn't until 28th I wonder if they are preparing a bit more material to pad things out for us?

     

    Also, it is of course the usual 'Sunday' slot.

    They moved the preview to a time where more people are probably able to view it. Hence it now being in the early afternoon UK time instead of 3 in the morning as that means they can hit semi-reasonable viewing times across the world. Also being a Saturday, again there's more people likely not working (varying of course with the current world situation) and able to view.

    In case it’s not clear, the entire point of the event is for the players to build their Cogfort at the event rather than building them before. Previous RAWs have let players plan, build and paint special units which has been super cool.
    RAW20 tests the players ability to make a Cogfort when there are no plans, it can’t be preprepared and will require adaption and working with the random parts the Cogseer finds!

    bringing a fully cimported Cogfort will be nice but isn’t what RAW20 is intended to be. 
    more than happy for you to bring parts, painted to your colour scheme and use them in place of the cog parts you find though.

    Ah apologies! My misunderstanding!

    The Master Cogseer has provided some information on the Cogframe which will be supplied to each player when they register at RAW20. 

    Each player will then build their Cogfort around the Cogframe DURING THE EVENT!!! 

    My original plan was to build a cogfort thematic to my army with plenty of magnets. However the printed cogframes and variety of bits look really cool and I want to see what madness I come up with during the event...

    Decisions, decisions!

    As I am still quite unsure about the current "leaks" and rumours I would vaguely imply that thoose Aelfs could arrive sooner than expected (looking at this weekend preview and things)

    We might see some more signs of them in the preview at Blood and Glory, but I wouldn't expect them to come out until early 2020. I think it's more likely (considering the leaked release schedule appears to be right so far) that we'll see a preview of Slaves to Darkness instead. We might see whatever this Aelven looking thing relates to in the 12 days of Xmas previews instead.

    Yea so far if not stated specifically, you can stack anything, like how Ironjawz used to stack waaagh, but now the ability states once per battle for example. If not stated, you can trigger it multiple times. This might get FAQ'd though.

    Yeah I'd expect this to get FAQ'd. Nothing stopping you from charging a unit, using the ability 3 times with 15 dudes, wiping out a blob and then being able to pile in 18" into a fresh unit and get your normal attacks off.

    Terrifying!

  7. Just now, Overread said:

    Nothing stops you doing it multiple times. The GW article on themed armies even points it out that you can do this. Provided that you can use another ability to let them charge a second time in the same turn such as the Liege - Kavalos leader ability. 

    I meant more as in activate it on the same unit say 3 times on 1 charge, so for a unit of 10 Deathriders they end up rolling 30 dice with 5+ doing mortals and then get an extra 9" pile in.

  8. My best guess would be something along the lines of FW being available through the main webstore or that rules writing for 40k and AoS will be moving into the main design studio allowing the current team to focus on the Specialist Games line. The first one would be bigger news as it should push FW to being more accepted everywhere.

  9. Without wanting this conversation to derail further down the rabbit hole, there's always seems to be a forgotten part of the hobby in these conversations: building.

    Would you play against somebody who didn't want to build their models because they thought they were bad at it and therefore just brought a bunch of bases to a game?

    We expect our opponents to build their models, it's not unreasonable to expect our opponents to at least try and paint them (of course within a reasonable timeframe).

    I'll play people with unpainted armies but if I have a choice between painted and unpainted, I'll always go for the painted army and if the same person turns up for 6 months with the same unpainted army, I'll invest my time in doing something else instead.

  10. A pile-in move counts as a move, it's in the core rules. They differentiate now between moves in the movement phase (Normal Moves), charging (Charge Moves) and pile-in (Pile-In Moves).

    All of those are considered as a move for something like the Blackshard Warhost. As a previous Free Peoples player, it mattered there too for things like the Freeguild General's CA.

    What do you think of the following meeting encounter list? the idea would be to move the  tauruk sperehad towards the center and then on turn 2 use them with the double command hability to break the opponent sperhead, then the main body should come to give fire support to the tauruks.

     

    SPEARHEAD

    Goth, the immortal (160) Bull Centaur Taur'ruk - General - Command Trait : Grotesque - Artefact : Armour of Bazherak the Cruel

    3 x Bull Centaur Renders (180)

    3 x Bull Centaur Renders (180)

    MAIN BODY

    lysh, the servant (100) Daemonsmith - Darkforged Weapon

    10 x Infernal Guard Fireglaives (100)

    Iron Daemon War Engine (180)

    REARGUARD

    10 x Infernal Guard Fireglaives (100)

    TOTAL: 1000/1

     

    Only problem you may find is that my first Meeting Engagements game the other day had one of the players bringing their army on in reverse order which screwed me over.  I think you definitely need fast stuff (which you've got) or ways to move models quicker. It may only be the one battleplan that does that though (I haven't checked them all).

    So with Warhammer day being this weekend, are there expected to be reveals?  If so, about what time?  I live in the US, so am I waking up and reading reveals or do I have to wait a bit more?

    It's just a celebratory day with some special stuff you can buy in store. Apocalypse and some other bits and bobs go up for preorder as well.

    I'm 99% certain that there won't be anything shown off tomorrow, the next likely big reveals will be July 20th at the AoS open day at Warhammer World.

    I like to think of myself as pretty level headed and I was mildly peeved when my local shop (Bruxelles) didn't have any ltd models available on their store birthday back in May. We would be able to solve the world's energy crisis with the amount of blind rage that would be unleashed worldwide at this.

    They may not have had any left in stock there and then but you can order them on the day when the shop runs out and they'll arrive a week or two later!

    Yeah, no point changes at least.

    Booooo, I must have missed that. I wasn't sure if they'd just release the updated PDFs for LoA and Monstrous Arcanum on Saturday when GHB drops or the week after (as FW are never on time).

    If Monstrous Arcanum is having big changes, I hope it doesn't affect the Chaos Mammoth too much as I've been planning to include one with my little angry dudes :(

  15. One thing from the video that I'm looking forward to is city fighting with rules for buildings including KNOCKING THEM DOWN!

    Time to start a new fantasy city board methinks. Hopefully we might see some new actual buildings scenery too one day!

    For some reason they've got the date wrong in this email but the info in the text is more interesting. IMG_20190603_204636.jpg.a04d786a7edf5c99f27b0089161af311.jpg

     

    That pretty much confirms it is either a July 20th preorder with early purchase for attendees, or July 20th is the global release date. 

    We should start seeing rules previews on the 8th or the 15th.

    GW won't sell plastic kits ahead of when retailers can due to trade agreements, relations would sour pretty quick if people can go and purchase stuff early from GW and then not instead buy it from independents. Only time I've ever seen this broken was with Orlocks at last year's Heresy Weekender. And even then it was a very limited number of boxes and there was a delay because they had to speak to the legal team about it. There argument with that probably being that it was Necromunda and a 'lesser' stock item.

    So assuming you will actually be able to pick it up on the day, it's very likely that will be release with pre-order on the 13th.

    This is not true at all. Underworlds has been a huge success. They just announced its third season. Bloodbowl has been a huge success. They just announced the twelfth plastic team for it. Adeptus Titanicus has been a huge success. The only game that could be said to be doing somewhat poorly is Necromunda. 

    Necromunda is also doing perfectly fine, there's plenty coming in the pipeline including even more plastics, always a good sign if a specialist game is still being supported by GW with the effort and cost involved in plastics.

  18. Forge World had some issues with the most recent Horus Heresy book disappearing in customs or somewhere along the shipping line. It was meant to be available at the Heresy Weekender early Feb but they had to get another batch shipped over which meant it didn't release until later on in March.

     

    Could be something similar has happened here. Heck, it could have even been part of the same shipment.
