  1. I can see them looking at their free king brodd and still feel rejected for not being part of the inner-inner circle 🤪
  2. So S2D got nerf on release. I almost feel bad for all the influencers who did their review before knowing this would happen 😂
  3. I think it's essentially due to the fact that, despite of the current state of 9th ed, their short escapade in AoS did not convince them it was worth the effort to learn a different game system and to invest the proper time and money they would need to enjoy it. They are aware that their favorite wargame will be fixed (perhaps) soon with the 10th ed, which is not far ahead now. Another observation is that the lore of AoS still feels very uninspiring for most 40k players (again I am only speaking from the perspective of the 40k players in my local club). Even the most- play for the stories- players among them still feel indifferent about AoS although they do enjoy watching mushrooms fighting sharks occasionally - they admit that AoS has a better model range than 40k. Sadly I can't said that they are totally wrong about the lore of AoS. The realms are an unfinished project where there is no fixed map and identity (all have jungles, ice lands, desert, mountains, they just behave differently... I guess ?). The last bit of lore that I found to be worth talking about was the duel between Nagash and Teclis, since then It's just been boring. Finally, Kragnos and the Slaanesh twins still feel like a non event despite of all the hype GW built around them.
  4. You could also be hearing two months of teasing for one hero + book that might be a copy paste 😆
  5. Same feeling at my local club, we were at least 10 people playing AoS consistently every week with the first ghb. Now, there is only myself and two other persons who are playing AoS occasionally. I have done intro games with and without battletactics and in either cases the players felt it was too much to take in ( core rules + their army's rules) Even the PtG group who had lots of success is now deserted, which I did not expect. From the feedback that I've gathered, there are too few battle-plans, some armies had just an auto-win or auto-lose based on who is the attacker or defender in a scenario (ala 1st ed of Warcry). The "after sequence" you have to do after each game is too much "rules bloat" and territories are 'useless'. Ironically, there are a lot more AoS tournaments happening, however giving the current GHB rules and the nasty lists that are being played, it's not going to attract fresh nor casual blood imo. Final observation from my local club, a lot of people who were unhappy with the 9th ed of 40k have tried AoS and are now back into playing 40k with the new codexes.
  6. - Stop complaining it’s a luxury product. The luxury product : 😜
  7. What was the point of teasing the new ogres book so early ?
  8. I hope this is not another DoK warband because it would be silly to have more of the same thing, like another battletome for LrL and DoK or one more dual box with aelves vs (x) or... OKAY this is definitely another DoK Warband ! 😅
  9. Someone posted this on the Slaves to Darkness Facebook group, Tzeentch must have been in charge of the postal service 😅.
  10. If that's true then that seems unfair to keep selling it in other places, you either remove it all or you don't. I'd hate to pay an expensive book for it to be irrelevant in a month.
  11. Nothing to see here, it is still available on the UK website.
  12. How my mate with his post lockdown body reacted when I told him he could lift weights at the gym again.
  13. If all the AoS Previews could be as good 😍 I don't even play the game nor own LORT miniatures but this was quite enjoyable to watch, the box sets are all tempting and they seem to be a great way to start Middle Earth.
  14. What was the point of revealing the Tzeentch vs LRL box so early ? What about all the Warcry articles we had last week on warco ? It has built lot of hype yet now we have to wait for at least another three weeks before we get one of these two box set😕
  15. If the GHB rumours are true, then I 'm sad for SoB yet super happy for NH and Gluttons 😜
  16. It's quite a harsh investment, especially when given the fact that we still don't know if we are going to remain in Ghur beyond the next few months.
  17. I'm not sure why you think comparing crossboos to sentinels will make them better, but sure, at least do it properly. Sentinels come in unit of 10, do MW on 6+, up to 5+ with Power Hysh (it's on their warscroll), they also ignore line of sight and have two missile options (one from 30" another from 18")- if they are firing from the same range than crossboos, then sentinels will use aimed shot. MathHammer : 5 Crossboos Raw, range of 12", 11 Attacks (+1 Attack for the champion) + All out Attack = Average 2.444 wounds against a 4+ save. 10 Sentinels Raw, range of 18" (aimed shot), 9 Attacks + All out attack, + Power of Hysh = 1.500 wounds + 3.0 MW Facts are facts, let's just hope they get sth in the book that makes them useful.
  18. Raw a unit of 5 with All out Attack will do around 2 wounds against a 4+ save. Yeah it's trash.
  19. Nothing out of the ordinary for a company worth millions of dollars 😂
  20. New White dwarf rules update for BoK was posted earlier on fb but got removed. Here is what I remember seeing: Altar: If someone is garrisoned in the altar, they can cast an invocation like a priest and benefit from the usual rerol for prayers from the altar . Enemy wizards who do a miscast take d6 mw instead of d3 if the altar is on the table. New battle trait : every BoK units can roll a dice when affected by a spell, on a 6 they ignore it. It's better than nothing 😅 but we are far from what BoK needed.
  21. Baby Skaven...yes yes this is... the way way !
  22. From Dakka: The price increase has already been included. It hurts, especially for books which are probably going to need a faq day one.
