Hammers of Sigmar apparently get 6+ ward when wholly within 12 of an objectibe

It’s a 1k game with only dominion models so probably not

Lightning blast is also a cheap way of getting MWs. I see nothing on the table worthwhile buffing anyway. The Annihilators are going to be stuck at a 9” charge without an imperatant or Gavriel to boost them, not sure it’s worthwhile. I wouldn’t bother with Vortex. Your only cast should be taken up by mystic shield anyway. With a relictor, battleline and gotrek you’re at 735. I’d honestly just take 5 Evocators, translocate them, and call it a day. Deploy the evocators at the back of the board where they are safe and use translocation to slingshot them forward. Last 40 points for a triumph (reroll charges) or the dias arcanum for a late-game objective steal if you don’t get the translocate 3+. Take Prized Sorcery. Celestial Vindictors (rr1s on charge, +1 attack CA) or Tempest Lords (more command points) are good stormhost picks here. Astral Templars could work too if you’re expecting to fight a lot of monsters. Or run no stormhost and pick the universal command trait to reroll prayers so you can guarantee translocate.

The only AoS content at launch is apparently a 1k battle report using only models from Dominion. That being said I’m told that the BR does look to be pretty thorough, though this is only based on a quick scan through. Nice overlay.

Yes. Remember that OWC and SCE should have been out by now, so naturally the marketing plan is to switch to the next release - which according to the schedule is Black Templars. They aren’t doing AoS reveals because there aren’t any: everything kruleboyz and SCE is out there already (but weird there’s no faction terrain but oh well). They’ll probably mix in a few side games, before pivoting back to AoS for that Chaos battletome. Should maybe see AoS stuff again late September/October I’d guess depending how far back that battletome has been pushed.

The new AoS app will not launch with Warhammer+. No date given except later in September.

No there’s a pic in the ghb of spear variant

More charging mortals, better warning cry, battleline teleport. Lots to like here.

It’s a very specific pandemic recovery that allows GW to release a 40k box, a 40k dual box, 40k battle sisters, 40k kill team, 2 40k FAQs and publish a 40k “roadmap”, but delays AoS battletomes, the AoS GhB FAQ, and AoS Forgeworld points. Very specific. Very specific indeed. Almost like they are prioritising one thing over the other. I wonder if the pandemic recovery is also responsible for Warhammer+ being almost all 40k content also? Edit: anyone else remember that time the pandemic meant there wasn’t enough data for AoS points updates, but there was enough data for 40k points updates? That’s so convenient. Turns out Covid is a massive 40k nut and just had it in for AoS all along.

If you think it’s ok for a company to outright lie to you, rewrite history to pretend they never lied, and treat you like ****** because all they want is your dollar, then that’s on you.

WarhammerTV are now saying on Facebook that “plans change” due to pandemic recovery.

Yeah the writing has been on the wall here for a while. The dearth of AoS articles last week, the delayed App, and the now 2 week late FAQ were all red flags. I guarantee they won’t release the battletomes until the app is ready so people can use their digital codes. Buckle up we could be waiting weeks here.

Yeah, no. This isn’t people whining out of entitlement. People are annoyed because a commitment has been made, missed, no explanation provided, no new date announced, and all references to the original commitment scrubbed out of existence. For all intents and purposes people feel like they have been lied to and treated like fools. A simple explanation wouldn’t change things but it would go a long way.

No it isn’t. No new date announced. Articles have been edited to remove all reference. Delayed indefinitely.

They edited the original article. Don’t know when that happened.

No. Nothing until September 11th at the earliest now

Where’s the flipping battletomes?

Sure. My point is that GW just gave away free updates. They changed points, updated rules, and rewrote some warscrolls. Whether they call it an FAQ, errata or something else is irrelevant: they changed rules to fit their version of the game. Most notably, they removed a lot of rerolls. They could have done the same for the Sons update or indeed any faction.

The 3rd edition FAQs specifically changed a number of rules and rewrote a number of warscrolls. In the past they have used FAQs to change points So no, erratas don’t just fix errors.

Two more week as to wait guys

That’s some cool art. Hope there’s more new pieces in the tome

Sword, hammer and claws still same hit & wound?

RIP Templars 2016-2021, we hardly knew ye

IIRC we were speculating 7/8 wounds and @Whitefang said much higher 😃

They are going to be 300 minimum and probably around 400. Base size, flight, wounds per model. No way they are close to Dracolines.
