I allowed legend armies for my tournaments, however: No cherry picking of legends warscrolls since I know people will search and find some broken interaction with some old warscroll. I‘d also never forbid a S2D player to bring a mammoth - heck I am one of those guys who paid a stack of money for mine just to be forced to beg being allowed to use it half if a year later. I paid money for my model, you did for yours, just use it.

1. Crossbone men/ long bone men (boneshard archers?) 2. Robin Rookgnaw fighting for the return if the King (Ushoran) 3. Traveling Artists/Court Jesters driving a huge wagon, seen in a FeC Artwork. 4. Squires - supporting knight units 5. Royal Knights (armoured flayers) 6. Royal Guard - Lower Strigoi Vampires 7. Empress/Queen 8. Royal Sorcerer 9. Hounds 10. Bone-Sinew Chariot 11. Beast Hunters (Knights with spears/ big bine weapons) 12. Royal Hawks (Vampire Bats) 13. Marrow Hurler - Catapult 14. Bone Lance(r) either a Ballista or some kind of actually mounted lower vampires 15. The black Knight 16. The White Knight (both trying to surpass their counterpart) 17. The kitchen staff - a amalgamation of mutated ghoul horrors - for some deluded reason no one minds them joining the fray. and maany maany more

Leaked points changes: Where can I find those?

It’s also a weird box - I already own all the Models shown for my RG… so wth am I supposed to do with those models? XD It doesn‘t help that SM are pretty bad (and Reivers have never been good in addition) It‘d be an entirely different story if it included some if the new Hover-Speeder-Bricks, heavy intercessors or a tank.

Rules change for everything Warplightning cannons: Every 1 makes you suffer 3 mortal wounds. It also can only target the closest enemy unit. well that’d be a good change for the game, among other buff restrictions.

I find myself being drawn to the cabalist nonsense- if I could roll above 4 when it comes to magic that‘d be helpful 🥲

The systems ate too different I am afraid. for example you roll off the see who won combat, the winner gets to strike. If you rolled equally the weapon skill stat decides. Usually one wounds on a 4 or 5 so lethality is way less than in AoS.

Since I moved to a new city during covid I’ll not talk about the time before that. Currently: In good months 3 games, on average 1.5, lately 0. It‘d be possible to have up to 8 games a month (club opens twice a week), however most players play 40k or other systems. I don’t attend AoS tournaments anymore (too many toxic neckbeards around here and the overall experience is a waste of time and money to me - and let’s not talk about the potent smell of Nurgle hanging in the air). With that amount of playing you and your mates should be considered as average tournament players. Those guys training for GT‘s are hardcore Tournament players.

There are a lot very one-sighted assumptions in your comment (no offense intended). If you break it down, for a (nowadays) casual player as me it goes like this: Army construction: - Add Units, choose the General choose artefacts and commant traits. The latter two I have to look up, since I won't have them memorized due to how often I play - Choosing the battalion is already annoying since I just want to get going and I don't want to read up (again) what each battalion does - Now back to going over the Warscrolls I added to somewhat remember what they do (in order to play tactical) - This should be all there is to it now one would assume. Wrong. - Now I have to go back and look up which battalions are actually the ones useable and what they do. - Finsihed? Far from it: Now get back to the season rules and try to learn those with all their needlessly complicated formulated rules - Then have a look at the new Battleplans - Try to figure out if Grondspine Incarnates are a thing - Go back and check if your army makes sense with the new Battlepack - Finished? Far from it! Go back and check Battle Tactics - Finally I can get to the Table! (forgetting 3/4 of all the rules and loosing due to it - or due to a random Hell Pit abomination dealing 64 mortal wounds, well, great game!) ---> I usually quit at step 4. I want to play a game, not repeat my master's thesis. "I also think alot of people forget, matched play is only one way of playing AoS. If you don't want to use the new GHB - don't. Try narrative or open play. " Cute if it was that easy. First you have to find someone who is still playing Age of Overloaded Whateverness. Then you have to talk that person out of playing what most people see as "the true game". And then you will maybe have a pretty crappy game while feeling bad for even asking. The issue with AoS is that it needs another way to play: Tounament Play = You get to use all those fancy and completely uneeded new Rules | Matched Play = Pickup Games, no Season Rules | Narrative Games = Campaigns, historical battles and all the like Currently everyone is getting shoehorned into tournament play whether they like it or not. (Most people don't play narrative games when it comes to pickup games). "I'm hoping the book drops soon, I have a event at the end of January and I'll love to try the new rules for it. " I am hoping it will be the last of its kind. GW should really focus on narrative play instead of all that tournament nonsense.

Pretty sure the sniper rule will add bonus dmg or a bonus to hit vs heroes as well, because it’s GW‘s way of writing rules, meaning it’s as far as it can get from being sophisticated.

That sadly doesn’t go for players around here which want to play „the real game“ - the two that are left that is.

I‘ve just been facepalming so hard watching the announcement of season 2: Galletian Veterans is the past Now we move to Galletian Heroes (my mind: If they work like veterans did they won‘t be playable. The „age of Infantry“ made them unplayable). Just a few seconds later: „We introduce Galletian Sharpshooters to deal with those foot heroes“ I REST MY CASE - I AM SO DONE WITH THIS. Could we please burn anything galletian and return to a NORMAL AoS game? Please?

Doesn’t matter since the rule of cool applies.

Couldn’t get a game in yet 🥲 From what I‘ve read though: The DP is just the biggest waste of points - they should have fixed his scroll with the last FAQ imo, meaning: trippling his damage while lowering the points to 180. imo they were afraid to male a unit a hero can transform into too strong, so they made it laughable weak. He deals about 2-3 dmg against a 4+ save? So much for one of the most powerful beings a mortal can ascend to.

Sorry to disappoint guys: No chorfs and no silent people, ever. Shadow Aelfes are around the corner though 🤣

Thinking about it: we can be happy he's sitting on an actual throne. FeC are delusional enough to see a thunderbox as a throne XD

🤔 he could!

Just get the king for painting and hold off on a full commitment:)

great model! As an additional his warscroll also shows that he‘s not just a king, but a master of fighting with a wet, overcooked noodle.

Get well soon!

What do you mean, we have Wight Kings, right? 🤣 I agree, Vampire heroes need more options and a rework - they‘re all lacking in every regard.

They’re not brave enough to do it. I bet he just changes his mind and resumes to attend meaningless brawling and slaying. No matter what wisdom he gained before. The story will still be fine though, however not as awesome as it could be! (We still need some good and proper closure to Soulslayer though), a new character will almost certainly stop that from happening and reset the story progress so far.

100% this

I love the Trident elf. It's sad that it's gone.

Sure but those are warscroll abilities no abilities one finds in the battletome (which is what I meant)
