Soulblight part 2? There are still some pitted, decrepit swords in unsolved rumour engines.
I hope it's Flesh Eater Courts, though, they need it way more and I don't want to buy a new battletome for Gravelords again in a year.
I hope it‘s SBGL 2 or umbraneth

Have someone did the numbers of the damage the blades and the lance do?
I am really curious about it, but i suck at math
Edit: i also suck in english
In the Stormcast threat. Swords are better.

GW logic, steamline most of the units by delating tons of additionals rules (basicly all our old units) slap 10 extra abilities on drakes...
Yup they created way too much of an incentive to buy the new models (which people would have done anyway, this way REALLY uneccessary and was more harm- than helpful)

I‘ve just realized that the Grandhammer Annihalators cost 40pts more than the shield ones? What!? That‘s an expensive +1 dmg,+1 to wound, +1 rend and -1 armor
Yes, the point values are weird in this tome.

According to the latest calculations it should approximately cost two Kitneys and your unborn child 😂

Well..
i was in this tavern see, and there was this fella looking for adventurers.
He telt me so it must be true.
Dude.. its the rumour thread not the news thread.
Hower != I've just made something up
So do you have an actual source or was it just some random guy? ^^-

I hope people ready to spam stormdrake guards are conscious that they will get a nerf in the next AOS faq because even if GW balance team is very often drunk when they decide point costs there is no way they keep them at 285 pts for a entire year
That's the part I hate about gaming: "Oh something is good, I MUST SPAM IT"

So Stormcast became Custodes with less Wards? 🤣
I present my 16 models list... erm... guess I‘ll have to give one hero the tome or switch to Krondys.

Karazai is perhaps a bit more fun with just smash face and looks a bit cooler imo, but I think I will be building Krondys first at least.
I don’t get how they can be pointed equally. The damage difference between the two isn‘t that great and one is a awesome magician. I expected Karazai to be 545 and Krondys to be 600

Almost everything oldcast and sacrosanct got shafted. Heroes especially almost all lost something, got worse, or went up in price.
Overall I am pretty happy with the new book though prices are about 20% too high on the older units.
I am sad about the Lord Heraldor losing his retreat and charge. Overall most heroes seem redundant now. The army will struggle to get enough bodies on the table and your list will pretty fast get to 2k points. Meaning one can't afford heroes that don't really do anything well, especially if they're too highly priced.
Apart from that I am seeing myself playing a list with one chariot, 5 Vigilors, 2 Drakes, 1 Hero Drake, the God Drake and some foot sloggers like Annihalators, Protectors and Vindictors. Maybe some dracoths.-

Yea. Thats why Iam best stormcast player in Poland, was 8 in general Poland laederboard in 2019-2020 season and scored 4-1 in our last Master tournament. I don't know anything about this army mate
How dare you taunting him for his insult!? 🤣
I am a little worried the point increase might be too much since I am not sure Stormcast are elite enough to win with so few models on the board.
but let‘s wait and see

Any good news on our Stardrake and Tauralon?
The Tauralon barely changed.
the Stardrake is still pillowfisted (at least 2 dmg on D6 tail attacks)

I am not sure on this one tbh. If he‘s cheap (140 pts) then I would maybe get one.
he offers versatility due to the unit of 2 graph hounds...

I don't really get it either, and yet you have the actual world where there are heaps of people who do exactly this, happily. So even though I don't get it, I'm not going to stand in their face and tell them they are doing it wrong.
There’s a myriad of reasons:
-People want to play, once the models are assembled they‘re ready to be played
-People don’t like to paint and commissions are very expensive
-People might feel like they can’t paint well enough
My personal reason: The painting takes ages (in my case since I want the models to have a certain level of quality) - so I end up with ~30% of all my armies painted. Do I feel bad about it? Nope. Why I want the quality? The models were expensive so they should look decent, otherwise it feels like devaluing them.
It might sound harsh, yet I‘ve faced a lot of armies (40k mostly) that‘d rather stayed grey, boy did the miserable paint job and taste of colors annihalate the immersion. Yet I don’t mind playing those people since both sides still have fun.
in other words: Painting the minis just for the sake of having them painted is stupid in my opinion.

It's a slow beatstick hero with comparatively low armour. That's an uphill battle in AoS. 5" non-flying is pretty back breaking. Maybe it's cheap though.
* and it does not bracket
seems fine to me if it costs around 300 pts.-

Troggoth bad
Imo it's good
Up to 7 attacks hitting on 2s (all out attack), wounding on 3s, -2 ,3 damage. How is that bad?-

They are already doing this in the form of faq's and white dwarf releases. And what about new models that arent included in a battletome. Sometimes it is already outdated after a month or 2. Slaanesh got 2 battletomes in 2 years.
exactly. They could just print the rewritten rules and you could put them into your spiral-binder-book

It would be nice to have one of these that does NOT lead to a new edition.
I also don't get why Battletomes aren't Spiral-Staplers like the new GHB, yet you can open the clamp to add new pages.
So GW could simply add new Rules in books and White Dwarfes, make them extractable from that book to be put into your Battletome-Spiral-Stapler... easy and always up-to-date.
Yes Spiral-Staplers don't look nice, yet it's utterly practical and it'd be great to keep up to date, add rules, change rules, rewrite rules and update rules.EDIT: And it saves production costs *wink wink*
Quick mockups to drive home the point:
