Sigmarusvult

Ironclad 4+ save please

What is the Slaaneshian ritual to summon a keeper of rumours for Age of Sigmar ? We know a lot about what's coming for 40k but nothing regarding AoS 🙁

I doubt that the 40K ork medecine is more effective than Lumineth, however It is way more creative

So the pandemic only affects AoS products right ?

No change for Hedonites of Slaanesh

Damn, Vile Transference on a mega gargant is mental

I only play and paint Age of Sigmar and I don't see anything in it for me, there is no AoS app, all animation but one are set in 40K and the first battle report teased is 40K. Tbf I have the impression that it has all been about 40K since the release of Dominion.

New BoC?

If you want to see the new Dracoth profile for yourself : https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/5671 Imo it does not guarantee that it is the actual profile that we'll see in the bt.

It's fine on elite unit like SCE, the casting roll is quite high and the range is short. I'd be more concern if I was playing CoS.

I find the amount of 40k stuff being released or teased at the moment is already quite distracting 😂. I kinda see how a road map would be beneficial: You give enough time to your customers to let them save money for the stuff they want, and you don't end up with a lot of stock sitting around after a release. It also you help in keeping a control over the hype so you make sure it's not going down.

Has @Whitefang confirmed that KruelBoys won't get anything else?

An army of dragon ?! 😍 Looks like I'm gonna need a bigger display cabinet.

It sounds like bataillons and rules for matched play in general not just for Sons.

I used to be an optimistic player like you, but then I took Hedonites of Slaanesh 2.0 in the knee.

So it looks like we are not going to see hobgrots riding wolves alongside the Kruel Boys. Gosh I wonder, which other army could they be released with ?

They are jaw dropping ! I like the fact they are not over designed unlike the Kurel Boys birds, I definitely feel confident painting them !

Fair enough, I will restrain my excitement until we get more sturdy facts about what's next to come. I 'm really hopping for BoC to get new modeIs as I didn't buy the Broken realm box because of the rumours 😆. Hopefully soon !

I don't expect it to be all entirely true but the 1KSons vs Grey Knight box is a real thing now.

Did 4chan got it right again ? If so, the rumours about AoS could be true then https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/07/26/the-hexfire-battlebox-pits-grey-knights-might-against-thousand-sons-sorcery/

Yeah a sneaky price increase is to be expected, just like they did for the new starter sets 😅

I personally feel tired with everything going on and I just want to have a chill time playing with my mates but I have not found the motivation nor the time to open my brain to all these changes. I think that the new layers of complexity brought over by third edition came up at the wrong time for me as I look at the 4 pages rule book from 1st ed with nostalgia now 😆.

That's fair, I used to play Blades of Khorne and while bloodtithe was fun for me - it offers lots of tricks - you still have the option to summon instead. Looking at Bloodtithe and other chaos summoning design, I find them to be interesting extra but they don't act as a core design in their armies, at least not like summoning is in Slaanesh. Now that we have the option to play with these new and splendid mortals, I have been looking to build list without daemons yet summoning daemons has remained one of the key features of the army in the new book, which is fine, but Mortals are pointed with the idea that summoning would make it up for it yet it clearly doesn't. I'm not complaining about their competitiveness, I just don't get why I am being forced to play with this specific playstyle, which is, as of right now, is not rewarding enough. I don't mind that summoning stays as long as I don't get punish if I choose to ignore it. Unfortunatly the book is built around it, at least a lot more than for another army, therefore you kinda have to work for it otherwise It feels like you are playing with a handicap. I was watching a stream from Heywoah earlier and he made a good point regarding game design. If the rule designers struggle in balancing a rule, then perhaps they should remove it or nuance it to the point that it is not too fundamental (until they can find way to make it work, or find sth better). I understand it might upset some people but as I said, I used to play khorne and "waiting for the next book until they get it right" has become a meme for this army and I hope that it is not going to be the same for HoS.
