Yes a regular hero doesn’t have the same restrictions as a named/unique hero does.

Just to clarify, in this case, if I have Skarbrand, and he's not near another daemon hero, he can still use the command ability and apply it to himself, correct? And this works even if Skarbrand is not the general?
Skarbrand cannot use command ability himself because he is not allowed to have the ability, because he is a unique character. He would require another demon unit nearby to activate the ability to place on him.

make the roll of '1' suffers 1 dmg as opposed to 1 MW, want it to bypass saves, and shrug saves
If going to do that then it needs to apply to all priests in the game. Not just Daughters.

We still have six-seven other factions that need battletomes. Could announce Sylvaneth book proper. Updates on the other 1.0 armies with times.Talk more about forbidden power and warcry in detail.
Pull a Blizzard-Activision and announce a long awaited game... for cell phones.

Well, I don't know what will come this june/july.
I just aim for new mechanics and rules (with maybe a new box), and that's what AoS 2.0 was last year, so it's logic to use "3.0" label this year until we know more.Really only time it should be considered 3.0 is if it’s a new core rule book.
And for people who point out that GW never called it 2.0 they did call it a new edition of the rules when they announced .
So it’s at least 2nd edition Sigmar though I guess some people have attached the 2.0 moniker since it’s felt more like Sigmar is actually being fleshed into a game with tighter rules and a more coherent storyline vs what is was in 1st edition which was like early access game.

It's sort of not the same though because SC2 was a vast visual upgrade over the first. It would be akin to AoS 2.0 using cardboard cutout models and then AoS 3.0 using models!
No the graphics weren’t that bad. It’s more closer to using metal models and then upgrading to higher detailed plastic .

Starcraft? You mean the video game which has no rules or models or physical components or anything in common with A GW product at all other than being a fictional universe? Even within that you’re wrong, as there are balance patches etc that constantly change the game. It’s just they don’t require printing of manuals and codexes to be implemented, just a readme doc.
You missed the key point though. They made a sequel, even with how good the original was they went and did a 2.0 years later. Just because it is software and not physical does not invalidate the comparison. Though they did go back and remaster the original. Even more considering Starcraft was based on 40k originally. Empire space marines, Tau and Tyranids. It was still a finished game, FAQs and wreaths are just patch notes for physical products.
the game has asymmetrical armies that contain multiple units that can be built in a multitude of ways and there are certain combos that are extremely overpowered. The main big difference is they only had to balance between three factions not the.... how many we have in sigmar?

If you give someone everything they need in one form of the game why would anyone feel the need to commit to a new one? If AOS 2.0 has all armies settled and on a par, why would someone want to start over with 3.0?
I’ll just put a pointer out on Starcraft and just leave it there... Also they have basically done this for 40k now. All the armies are updated to 8.0 now. Though there is rumors that they are transitioning to no more codices and just doing campaign books with new models introduced as they move the story.
Another answer is also because of new blood and rules changes. What if they make everything on par for 2.0 and then when it’s settled they move to 3.0. New turn mechanics, spellcasting in combat phases, d6 dice are all changed to d10s. Maybe it’s more solid than 2.0.
If this draws in more people to play in your area are you going to be an elitist and snub the new ruleset, or join in so you can play with more people?

In before it’s another week of Legacy Build to order metal units and rules. We’ll see some of the metal Slaanesh, Khorne, FEC (vampire counts) and Skaven units that have been OOP. Did Manfred have a model back in the day?

Just because you didn't like 1.0 doesn't mean it was bad. It was great. We don't need more allegiance abilities and artifacts and endless spells and terrain. We need a living story that is updated every couple of months through good campaign books
The inverse is also true. Just because you liked 1.0 doesn’t mean it was a good ruleset for everyone else. It was decent but it had several glaring issues that needed some fixing for a fair group of people.
The allegiance abilities give more flavor to people who want to play with more complex rules and higher levels of competition. They are completely optional if you don’t want to play with them hen you are not required and can just use your models and warscrolls.
As for campaign books we’ll see what happens. Malign was half a flop from what I’ve heard, though need to give GW some time. This is the first time they have a narrative that isn’t sitting at doomsday is tomorrow.

Third. Wrong, I 100% disagree. It was GW's own choice to re-release those "AGE OF SIGMAR" models on shared sprues. The miniatures could still be made, but if they decided they couldn't "afford" to upkeep the model with a shared sprue and they actually cared about the health of the game, they either have to support what they sold or else they should never have released something for "AGE OF SIGMAR" that they would have to pull the rules for and stop producing. GW wanted to profit from their plastic crack without having to do any of the support work for it.
I don’t know if you understand how sprues and injection molds work. This isn’t something that is just snapped together like Lego pieces to make a sprue for models, it’s designed and sculpted as a solid piece that is then made to be injected with plastic. Taking out the pieces that make one model on a sprue that contains multiple other pieces to other units is next to impossible without rebuilding a fresh new mold to be used. Tha my or printing the entire mold to cut out the pieces for each individual unit. Which if they already had boxes of the other things it’s just making too much and wasting plastic.
They didn’t want to do that and so it’s now gone.
And the 2.0 support is there the battletomes are to make the flavor and abilities of each army come out. All of this is being designed right now to make each army unique.
They could have waited unitil they had it all together but then we’d probab be waiting another year to even get ANY releases for ANY army or battletome. And by then people would have moved on or complained about lack of rules..

The problem with games workshop is they only think of what's the best immediate return on investment, and they almost NEVER make decisions based on the overall health of the game. (Leaving armies unfinished while releasing new ones for years upon years, removing support for many models some of which were brand new in comparison to the ancient metal ones they still sell, etc.)
This is very old GW thinking.
Imbquite sure they are more focused on the overall health of the game. The move to 2.0 is still transitioning because they had to get all the 40k armies updated to 8th edition before they could shift focus on Sigmar for expansion. Like it or not we are always second fiddle to the sci-fi child of grimdark. Excepting Sisters of Battle, 40k is done with the codex books and now we can have our time for every army to update. Let them get everyone on the same page first so all armies are 2.0 compatible and then we’ll can start complaining about how xyz army needs new a new line of models.

the thing is that they really delayed the Wraith and Rapture box preorder until the week of Christmas where majority of people had already finish their shopping, which I found really strange
Could have been a production issue that came up. Probably was intended for Christmas sales and then delays happened and they had already hyped the release so just went ahead and released
-
That's been on my mind too. So many online games now have some kind of pay system for things. Be it cosmetic or like MtG cards from new release sets. Which I could see happening for Underworlds is having to pay for card sets or war bands..

Releasing the box before both the new khorne and slaanesh tomes also seems like a poor idea. The FeC and Skaven box seemed much better planned out with a double release and some excitement and hype. People are more inclined to start new armies along with a new updated book as well, so the Wrath and Rapture box timing makes little sense to me.
I think the timing was GW trying to have something besides Army Collection boxes for the Holiday Season something else to hopefully get some snags from shoppers looking to gift their WH playing relations.

IMO current armies have at least GHB allegiance abilities and quite modern miniature range. Listen, Dwarf range was updated during WFB 8th ed, when AoS was definitely already decided to be released. There's no way they would squat them, same goes for Aelves.
I wouldn’t say an 8ed book means anything. There are several factions that no longer exist that all had 8ed updates.

Not a rumour but this is very interesting - Warhammer Underworlds is getting a PC game!
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/04/26/first-look-warhammer-underworlds-online/
This is a great idea and will probably be very popular. I'm hoping it comes to the consoles (would be great on a Switch) and also enable cross play (please Sony, people want this!!!).
Hmmm totally new game company. No idea who anyone is cause the site just says they are making this game. Not that they have ever made anything or if the company is made of any old pros. The trailer looks good, just kind of wish knew that these guys had experience making similar games.

Aelves pretty much hate Chaos with the same fever that Elves hate Chaos in 40K. Which is to say that no sane aelf would EVER ally with Chaos EVER
Morathi was Slaanesh’s High Priestess hiding among the Elves with her Pleasure cults for years before they started retconning her evilness away to being slightly mad and grieving woman who worshiped Atharti (basically the elven goddess not-Slaanesh instead.)

Who says those two are getting axed?
It was confirmed by GW that the lords are not in the books so unless there is some odd reason to not put a Slaanesh unit in the book they are gone.

Slaanesh is still not free, their servants are just more active now, so it's normal it didn't have as much fanfare as other gods. Hey, we skaven got only book, endless spells and terrain and there was no big event for GHR, the greatest Chaos god of them all.
I think that’s partly because you guys did blow up Morrsleibb so they might not have forgotten about that.

Not sure where is "clear" dropping of the ball is. To me, this new book looks like a major home run.
The balldropping is basically that for a first time Chaos God release there is significant less fanfare compared to the other three. We don’t even get like a “Slaanesh’s demons invade Ulgu!!!11!1!1 Daughters vs Slaanesh. Hints of Malarion elves incoming...”
just alittle recognition that thris is supposed to be one of the biggest threats to the mortal realms.

The lack of mortals is being discused for over 15 pages now. Can we stop with the "disapointed with no new mortals" , "missed oportunity", "i switch to another army"
Alright. Though the big thing here is that for the food things. Which are good, I almost feel like Slaanesh was made for my playstyle almost perfectly I love the shenanigans that can be put together with what we’ve seen.
Its that compared to every other Chaos God Who had major releases their first battletome into AoS.
Khorne launches the game with Stormcast and gets a ton of new units to play with to he point they have the problem Stormcast should be, so many good heroes and units and not enough space to play them all.
Tzeentch comes out and everyone talks about the dread skyfires. He also gets a lot of new heroes and units. More focus was on 40k with Magus the Red making his comeback into real space but Tzeentch has a really good showing in AoS too.
Nurgle had Bilepiper, Horticultus, all the new bugs and first good summon mechanics of Sigmar 1.0. A lot of new units and heroes. Also was a big event about Nurgle invading Hyish for AoS and Deathguard making a return in 40k.
Slaanesh.... five heroes, endless spells and terrain. Oh and we cut out the only mortals in the actual faction. And there isn’t anything big happening either, Nagash is the Gaarosh Hellscream for 2.0 and we don’t want to detract from that right now.

Not really... you will have a hard time one shot priest.
But with mirror you may dmg them and control their movement
Not really. Average he is taking at least 4 mortal wounds. 5 is quite likely and he has no save after save without another unit close by. Might have to combo another spell to finish him off. Hit he is nearly dead with no heal.
though on the other side of things that is four to five depravity points you aren’t getting so probably better to hit chaff with it.

A pretty good point.
I would say the only certainty at tre moment we. Have regarding armies is anything that has a battletome after Moggotkin of Nurgle since that is heralded as the first 2.0 books
Skaven Battlion in Nurgle Army

Yes because pestillens have the nurgle keyword and can be taken as normal troops, the battalion also has the Nurgle keyword iirc.
