Mutton

Hopefully we get some Dawnbringer books between now and November. Anything is possible now with the logistics issues.

Cities has more ways to get 4/5++ wards than any book so far. And welcome to 30 fusiliers doing mortals on 6's with the alchemist.

I saw some of the leaked warscrolls, and WHY are they once again writing these racist abilities that only affect specific KEYWORDED species? Why can't everyone just work together? Cities of Sigmar is the melting pot of AoS, and they continue to segregate the army into racial subsections.

Also, I'm very curious as to whether the surgeon, arch-knight, whisperblade, etc. are singular heroes or part of some sort of entourage.

3 Maneaters and a Butcher. That's true perfection.

Fimir were the forgotten children of Chaos. They had been abandoned by the gods but continued to try and gain their favor. I think it makes more sense for them to be a Destruction force at this point.

I would much rather proxy/convert my old stuff as new stuff.

All of the Nurgle mortal heroes are still way too expensive for what they do. Like why are Rotbringer sorcerers 140 points for a 1 cast wizard with a terrible ability and spell? In any other faction they would be 100 points and probably offer better support.

Playing Warhammer is to expect disappointment with Ogres.

I'm disappointed we've seen neither hide nor hair of any new ogres. There were so many rumors of some kind of Warcry warband and/or mercenary Cities ogres. Especially now, in the time of wizards, we STILL have to deal with these 20 year old atrocious resin Butchers.

Give us the points update, GW, you cowards!

54 warscrolls is way too many.

Not nearly as big of a preview as we might have been led to believe. So for AoS they revealed one new wizard hero and the Cities centerpiece model (which is admittedly badass). Their information drip-feed really hurts their overall hype, in my opinion. Imagine if this had been the big Cities reveal, and it was the first time we'd seen any of that stuff. It would have been incredible. But nowadays they haphazardly show off random models at seemingly random during the week so we've already seen half of the stuff.

Know the points on other stuff? I saw some concerning early "leaks" for points.

The titular Harbinger is way too pricey at 190. He was over-costed before and now all they did was make him a priest without a proper prayer lore to pick from. I don't understand why they insist on making Nurgle heroes almost twice as much as those of other factions.

Some of those tactics are impossible to achieve for a few factions. Having tactics that are literally unscorable is a huge disadvantage.

Can anyone tell what base size the Nurgle Harbinger is on?

In June, Fyreslayers had a representation of less than 2%. But for the past while they've hovered around a solid 3-4%. I think there's just this misconception that because they have the lowest aesthetic popularity rating (even people that play them hate that they all look the same), that nobody plays them. Plenty of people still love dwarfs but don't want to play their shooty steampunk cousins.

It'll be a fourth Hunter model.

Cool model. The flavor text and the rule for Fortified Position don't match up though. Unless gargants can suddenly fling their clubs across the battlefield.

I swear...if they make a Cities Ogre unit and don't port it over to Mawtribes...there will be a grumbling. Maneaters are still f*** awful.

These spells are kind of ridiculous. Game shiftingly powerful stuff. Lumineth, Tzeentch, Soulblight, and Seraphon are going to destroy the world this year.

Call me an ol' Longbeard grumbler, but I hate that the return of the year-long GHB is all about MAGIC. Magic...ptooie

The whole point of Old World is to attract the elderly grumblers who spout that the Fantasy days were better. Of course they're going to show all of the outdated, retched models that tap the old nostalgia bone. But real talk here, let's not pretend most of us aren't going to just play with AoS stuff. RIP to those factions that are on the "We don't have the time/energy to work on these" list. Ogres always suffering.

Lord forbid they use any of their MASSIVE YEAR-ON-YEAR PROFITS to maintain reasonable costs. Greed be greeding again.
