That's a general trade of humanity I'm afraid

Because people rate the matched play rules as "laws given by God and the universe". So they refuse to adapt, because they want to play the "real" game, though they hate the DT.

Well if they ever actively talked to the community, the whole "Slaanesh dominated *whip* the entire game for a year+" wouldn't have happened. Yet ignorance it what GW does best. They create all of their own problems and then ignore them, because, you know, the interwebs is new and dangerous, rather keep people in the dark and ignore their filthy nerd opinions. Easiest, sleekest fix which would also result in point reductions: Limit the amount of depravity that can be generated per Battleround. - Tada.

Imo: 1. Double turns need to be removed, finally. No matter the argument of planning for it or not: It remains a gamble that utterly destroys casual games more often than not. Make it part of a battlepack for tournaments or sth. of the likes but please spare normale matched play games from this nonsense. 2. Magic needs a rework. Atm it is the psy-phase of 40K (which already is a bad design). 3. GW has to arrive in the 21st century and ACTIVELY answer to community questions and wishes instead of ignoring them and burping out marketing nonsense instead. 4. Motal wounds need to be massively reduced and instead be replaced by hits with -4 rend. 5. They really need to think about what they want to achieve with path to glory. The scenarios are horrendously one-sided and uncreative, yet this is supposed to be the format featuring crazy creative battles, sieges, ambushes, treasure hunts etc. Instead it's 6 flavours of "kill the enemy quick". 6. Rewrite bad Warscrolls every 6 months and release them in a white dwarf. 7. Stop half-baked nonsensical White Dwarf Updates (latest example: Cities of Sigmar) 8. Save-Stacking should really be reconsidered. 9. All-out-Defense on a charge should be reconsidered. Make such Command abilities dependent on whether one charged or not. 10. I politely ask to finally nerf sentinels: Even the sewers in front of GW couldn't take it anymore and exploded.

Calm down everybody.

Well. If the only thing new in there is a hero for each faction then I'll happily skip it.

Both factions need so much more than a single charakter

I'd love a sneaky: By the Way, how do you like this Idoneth Sea Dragon!? - Model -One can dream

If not the 5+ ward would be broken. The Glottkin would be immortal x Apart from that plague mechanic looks thematic I hope most Nurgle units will have a 4+ save. Otherwise we‘d have Stormcasts on steroids

It‘s the same price as the Alarith Spieit of the Mountain for the small dragons - 68GBP or 85€

It‘s the same price as the Alarith Spieit of the Mountain for the small dragons - 68GBP or 85€

The Dragon Rider Price is up! It‘s the same price as the Alarith Spieit of the Mountain - 68GBP or 85€

Unpopular opinion: The fact that Battletomes still contain obviously broken and useless warscrolls, Subfactions and or mechanics is brazen and an affront to their customers.

It‘d be enough if they had 4 people playing one afternoon and having one day to look at a tome to iron out the most broken and useless warscrolls and mechanics. Most issues are obvious. And I‘d be fine if the obvious ones would not appear in books anymore. I don‘t believe in Stormcast hate. Those dragons were way too good, it took one exactly two minutes of looking at the Warscroll to figure that out.

Let’s be realistic: GW barely playtests anything. The first real playtesting is done by the players. That’s why new releases are as messy (quality and power-wise) as they are.

Alright I saw the nerf of the dragons, here’s what I think about it: - I like that they adjusted the points before anyone could buy too many of them - It is curious that this point value is exactly the value Warhammer Weekly and other channels wished it to be - It is strange that nothing else has been changed. There’re other units that are overcosted in that book. In this case we’re not talking about slightly overcosted Models (like Karazai) but ridiculous point values like the Lord Exorcist. So I come to the conclusion that they did not playtest it at all, instead they listened to feedback. This is good and bad at the same time: - Listening to good feedback is ace! - Putting such too low point costs into the Battletome at all is witness to how much they actually test their products: They don’t, or they must ignore feedback at that stage. Which brings me to the next point. Why does playtesting not to be a thing? - Is it too much pressure (too few time for too many rules)? - Is it arrogance? My personal feeling is that they don’t have much time, they are also not interested in touching rules and or warscrolls a second time (most warscrolls are a copy and paste of their old incarnation with little to no creativity). And they are not interested in fixing broken units or factions unless the uproar and therefor the pr gets too bad. We really need a point fix for Slaanesh, we need Warscroll rewrites for several units like Black Knights and we need more common sense and creativity concerning rules and Warscroll design. As of late AoS rules have felt like a half baked, neglected product they don’t care for. They REALLY need to improve their communication with their fanbase. They are doing too little, too late and are too rigid in their way.

Are there any rumours about ?

This looks good! I guess I'll give it a shot! Thanks!

Well, I have a small HoS Collection and would like to field them with my Slaves to Darkness. Is there a legitimate way to build an army without being tabled against even the worst lists? Here's what I own: 2x3 Fiends 1x Syll'esske 1x Keeper of Secrets 1x Slickblade Seekers 1x Slaanesh Terrain 1x Enrapturess 10x Deamonettes 5x Hellstriders/Hell hunters (don't know the english name for the nose-bear thingyies) I intend to proxy my chaos Warriors as Twinsouls (5 Models) or Myrmidesh (25 Models) Apart from that I have pretty much everything the Slaves Range has to offer except the Mutalith ans its Khorne counterpart and Chariots

Same! I still remember the „colors of the Empire“ book - very inspiring stuff (Unpopular opinion): I really love the End Times books: One book with lots of Lore, images etc. and one small book with rules, stats etc. - End times Nagash bundle is the only WHF Book(s) I kept.

The Cart could also just carry the Luminark construct (facing backwards). And in battle the cart turns on the spot and the luminark can be used by the wizard ^^

Alright my opinion: all you need to magnetise is the top construction. You can easily swap that one for the laser-burning-glass with no effort. Nothing else has to be done

I like the ideas in general. However killing a general to win does not work. Too many armies can shoot the general within 1 turn

So the CoS update has been leaked (matched play and parts of open play). long story short: Don‘t bother. It‘s the very definition of sloppy, uninspired rules writing. One good thing though: The gryphon mount trait is actually cool I think the Path to Glory Section and the campaign could be really cool!

I‘ve heard an unreliable rumor that a new kind of ability will find its way into the Battletomes: Attacks that ignore positive modifiers to saves. would make sense judging by GW‘s design philosophy. We‘ll see
