[The Rumour Thread]

My theory on the nature of the Stormvaults is that they hold all of Sigmar's failed ideas, every attempt to create an army to retake the mortals realms. Like that possessed (possessing?) sword from the WD short story; an army where you can't destroy the chain of command, kill the general, and the guy next to him picks up the sword and becomes him. Shame it's crazy...

Add me to the excited list! Have you decided what kind of tone you want for this game? Is it going to be gritty like the Fantasy rpg, heroic? Or something in between?

I find myself debating whether I want a huge estuary, or a robust ruleset for creating and customising enemies. I want Hyshian Treelords  with prismatic leaves that blind the enemy, or an Aqshy fellwater troggoth that vomits lava instead of stomach acid. 

In short, since the mortal realms are so vast, we'll need the ability to easily get exactly the monsters we need for our campaigns.

Taking into consideration what the battletome says about Aethergold, here's what I got:

Aetherspheric condensator

All wizards -1 to cast

Units in (range) get -2 bravery on 4+ and 6+ does d3 MW

Kharadron: only suffer on 6 and don't take MW, immune to battleshock in (shorter range)

Ah, I missed that, thank you!

Sorry if this has been covered already, but the resist magic ability on the Trogboss warscroll doesn't explicitly say enemy spells, so does that mean he has to roll to resist friendly ones as well?

Anyone else surprised to see Hand of Gork included as a moonclan spell?  I did not compare the wording, but it effectively is the same (probably worded the same) as the spell from Bonesplitterz.  I can't remember previously any spells that were completely duplicated across multiple battletomes.  I am curious to see if this means that there will be core GorkaMorka spells that are common across books as Destruction becomes more fleshed out over time.

The Bonesplitterz spell doubles (triples on a casting roll of doubles) the movement characteristic, and lets the targeted unit fly.

I'm not sure any of that would fit. Steam suits and sinilar vehicles are already done by Kharadron, and the Dispossessed theme is "tradition", AKA old school. 

I'm with you on this, but would add 'grudges' to that. Yes, all dwarves hold grudges, but none like the dispossessed. 

The most obvious line of expansion (story-wise at least) would be a reclamation crusade of the  lost holds, so a grudge-preacher unit would be great, a dwarf that recites all the grudges your enemy has earned, giving your units to hit/wound buffs. Maybe a dwarven fort terrain piece, or mountain-goat cavalry.

The only other thing I could think of already exist (ironbreakers and longbeards).

[New Years Hobby Resolutions 2019]

Man, I have so many things I want to do this year...

Finish my Ironjawz by building and painting the start collecting box, a mawcrusha, and maybe some more brutes.

Get a start on my Free City army, whether that involves getting the swifthawk and kharadron parts or figuring out the conversions for the freeguild I still need to figure out.

Make a table for my house, so I can play with some friends who don't have much time to get into the local store and hopefully get my fiancee back into the hobby.

I can probably get two of these three done, but I need help prioritizing, any votes?

[AoS 2 - Kharadron Overlords Discussion]

That is a flippin' awesome Brokk.

Hey all, I'm looking into starting a free city army with a kharadron contingent. Short story long, Looking through the rules and this thread, I was wondering at the (seeming) dislike of skywardens. To me they seem like a decent melee unit with some reliable mortal wounds, in contrast to endrinriggers ranged role, the talk here seems to favor endrinriggers for melee duty anyway.

I get why endrinriggers are popular, cuz they can heal valuable ships. To sum up, I guess I'm asking, "are skywardens bad?"

I wouldnt rule Seraphon out. Look at the larger scales, they peak more then the rest kinda like skink spines. Also the tag mentions they went more secretive for this one and we know slaanesh is coming. 

Those are good points, and I don't necessarily disagree, it could be referencing that the grater daemon of slaanesh is the Keeper of Secrets
