They have been saying the the beta is coming soon when they announced it… 

it takes way to long to in my opinion.

it should have launched with AoS 3.0

 

I am sick of all their „Soon, almost here, will arrive any moment“ etc.

Just give us a timeline while explicitly claiming that it will change. I am sick of their marketing, it‘s time they arrive in 2021.

He is finished. Time to use him in Battle!

Oh Boy, my Annihalators won me 3 Path to Glory games already. Their damage on the charge is insane

I charged 2 Gore Gruntas, Annihalators them, got a double turn, smashed into the Megaboss, which I killed with mortal wounds, piled in into the 5 brutes and hammered them into a bloody mess

20 years into the hobby, then you must be aware of just a few following examples that have made impactful changes in both the hobby and skirmish games by the community or individuals:

• 3D printing
• Homebrew rule groups
• Campaign groups
• Indie franchises
• Online forums such as TGA
• Ebay or sites like Kijiji
• LSG's table space
• Hobby supply franchises

There are numerous other things that have made impactful changes, I bet you yourself have been involved in at least a few of these points. Just because you yourself have not been directly impacted whether by your own choices or not doesn't mean they do not exist.

 

 

 

 

I am pretty sure we‘re not talking about the same topic.

People derive from the path because they don't want to leave the responsibilities with GW with whatever actions or inactions they have done to make people think twice. Believe it or not people eventually want productive change and they will not wait for it.

I‘ve been in this hobby for 20 years and that has never happened. It‘s usually a tiny spark that drowns within days, due to the reasons I‘ve stated above.

If you are devoted to an army or whatever you like playing in age of sigmar its ultimately yours. Having thoughts and feelings of impending doom from GW?  I would suggest considering taking your game and hobby into your own hands and explore the possibilities of how your armies and yourself may grow and improve and have enjoyable experiences. 

Just nope. That’s not how people work. Most gamers take raw as the ultimate law, if you derive from that path they won‘t play with you. Ultimately it‘s GW‘s responsibility to keep armies in the game the whole „ask your opponent if you can use it“ no sense creates all kinds of awkward and bad experiences due to GW‘s laziness in this regard.

This would be incredibly disappointing and would definitely keep me from subscribing to WH+. Would be interested to see a source though or I'll just keep that in my salt grain pile.

Tbf their App Department seems to be either extremely understaffed (maybe no one wants to work for them at their current minimum wages) or chaotic. 🤷🏼‍♂️
outsourcing a app to a agency that’s specialized in it would speed this up significantly.

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

I‘d simply like more info about all of the new units! -> Build options, Stats, special rules etc. They really try to keep the information back which leads to to believe that the release will be late this month.

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

I need to make a list about all the (Propably autocorrect) misspellings of ‚Battletome‘, be abuse it‘s really funny imo (not trying to bash anyone)

Battletomb (Only the Soulblights can call their book that!)

Battledome

Battlewomb

Battletom

Battletohm

🤣

one but, yet many names

However there's a disparity between how damage can be dealt now. GW is pushing out Mortal Wound dealing units left, right and centre, with nothing seemingly done to address the lack of rend. 

I faced a Megaboss with a constant +2 to his save and other bonuses. It killed everything with its -3 rend weapon while being immune to everything. It was finally taken down by a very good charge of Annihalators,  the Lord Celestants cloak and a two luckily failed armour saves vs the annihilators.

[3.0 Actual Games Conversation]

So what really needs to change imo is:

- Unleash hell: while fine for small units, it‘s absurd for big ones or MW shooting

- Buff stacking. It plainly sucks. Some armies have such easy access to Dave bonuses that killing a single hero is impossible without spamming mortal wounds. Something along the lines of: the best you can ever get is +1 to your save. If the attack targeting this unit has rend you can only cancel out the rend by stacking, you won‘t receive a +1 to save.

First test model done (Tabletop Standard).

I am aiming for a mix of Celestial Vindicators and Anvils of the Heldenhammer. I‘d have played Anvils due to the Lore and style. Yet after painting Slaves to Darkness and Chaos Space Marines I am fed up with black armours with a golden trim.

So here we go

I was thinking about that but the points still leave a strange gap depending on which one is picked

I usually try to add a suffocating gravetide into any Radukar list because of flavor! (In cursed city you have to run from several gravesides)

The Stormkeeps look promising. What do you think?

[VLoZD - Lance vs Sword]

I'll probably be running a sword, but mostly for modeling reasons. I think the lance is the better option mechanically.

I always build the Lance. The sword is such a magnificent failure in terms of molding that all of my Zombie Dragon boxes arrived with the sword, still on the sprue, already having white bend-marks and even first hair thin cracks. They usually break the first time when clipping them out of the sprue... the Second Time when you look at it too hard. And the third time when you try to assemble the model. 🥲

[New dwarf army soon? Mixed dwarfs]

So I've just finished the latest Gotrek Novel (Gitslayer)

 

Spoiler

At the end it seems like Gotrek and the Solmanson Company (From Barak Urbaz) are planning on retaking dwarven Holds in a huge campaign. This might foreshadow the return of the Dawi

 

[The Rumour Thread]

I wonder why we haven’t had any more I did about the dragons

[3.0 Actual Games Conversation]

On Friday I‘ll have my first path to glory game. Let’s see how that plays out

I‘ll play the the Stormkeep of the Celestial Vindicators

But yes, it is unlikely that idoneth get much more love in the near future. Do they not sell? I don't get it, they are a faction that is easy to expand on.

Indeed. I don’t get it either.

3/4 Games lasted until the end of turn 5

It‘s highly match-up dependent imo

[The Rumour Thread]

I like both. I am just bothered by the owl-eyebrows of Krondys XD.
I hope the head comes with some option, like making the eyebrows scales instead of hair

 

Edit: By the way. These dragons were created by the same sculptor as the new Giant Bats (compare the wings)
