No points changes for units in 3.0 battle tomes apparently

It’s 4 or less apparently

Because it allows Skaven to fight in more than 2 ranks?

Presumably something like “if a model is in base contact with a friendly model from the same unit that is within range of an enemy, that model can also attack as if it was in range” 🤷‍♂️

There have been some wild rumours on 4chan about ghb changes. Bear in mind 4chan faked the gossamid warscroll, but these do seem to have some confirmation from other sources now (users in AoS coach discord). * All battleline infantry 4 wounds or less can fight in 2 ranks * one drop still exists * One new battalion gives infantry + battleline + <5 wounds count as 3 for scoring (Veteran) * One new battalion gives infantry +1 damage vs units in the above battalion (bounty Hunter) (melee only) * All battle tactics are replaced, much harder, no easy wins (like monstrous takeover) * Player going second r3 picks an objective and can only be contested by infantry CORRECTION It's every battle round you pick an objective. But the same one can't be picked more than once in a game

Nah the treelord ancient is a different warscroll

Tell us about the treelord ancient!

Ironically, Fulminators don’t

Flying m16 Fulminators which can teleport away after attacking and hide behind los blocking woods.

Moar! nightnaunt and dok benefit because the rules favour 1w infantry? SCE doesn’t like this

Morathi warscroll leaked. Kept shoot twice every single turn. Lmao

*removed for pre morning coffeee snark

Lmao new Lumineth book, I told you all! And no Tyrion in the cover artwork either, Lumineth wave 5 confirmed. DoK leaks: Morathi up a mere 20 lmao Morathi keeps shoot twice CA Both snakes up 20 Witches down 5 🤣 Subfaction: +1 to blood rites (stacks) Witches and slaughter sisters +1 rend on charge Retreat and charge End of movement CA teleport Slaughter sisters fight twice on a 4+, target gets fight last Melusai fight on death Morathi lost +1 cast/unbind/dispel but is now -2 rend on heartrender. Shadow Queen degrades slower (doesnt bracket until 7) but is functionally the same. Both cost 680 together. Bow snakes have no changes. Damn must be nice to be a play tester army.

You were so close but unit leaders are called champions on the warscroll now. It would say “champion: 1 model in this unit can be a Krone.”

Lumineth will 💯 get another wave. We’ve not seen rules for all 10 nations or all spirits or Tyrion.

Lmao another order battletome this year. Guess which order factions haven’t had WD updates or a 3.0 tome: Sylvaneth and Lumineth 🤣 Cannot wait to feed on the salty tears of lrl wave 4

Teasers for teasers are all the rage these days. Imagine the engagement this preview of a preview will generate! Think of all the clicks!

AoS has 4 battletomes in the pipeline and a new GHB due in 4 months time, and all they could show us was… 1 model from 1 of those 4 (which admittedly is a cool model), and a campaign book that might be relevant for all of 2 months before we move out of Ghur with some nebulous “battle packs for every mode of play.” Oh and a repackaged terrain box that doesn’t block line of sight. Pretty underwhelming and seems to lend credence to the rumour that aos is on life support. To be fair there wasn’t much for 40k either, but even AoS somehow missed the low bar of “just show off codex covers.”

From what I hear it’s because Sylvaneth is going to be *ahem* controversial, to say the least 👀👀👀

No releases

According to todays honest wargamer show, the rumour is that there will be no new battletomes in 2022 after Sylvaneth & Skaven.

You definitely can patch weak factions into relevancy: see BoC and Nighthaunt.

The gameplay of Idoneth really appeal to me but I’m not a fan of the allopexes at all. Thought I’d try a modelling project to make lovecraftian/Cthulhu-esque/deep abyss horrors, but I’m really struggling to find a stand in for the allopex that has a similar ish silhouette. I’ve picked up one of the models to try and kitbash it but I would have thought this was an obvious project and yet it doesn’t seem like anyone else has tried any such conversions before. Has anyone seen anything like this or have any suggestions for conversion fodder?

While I’m all for giving struggling factions a boost, I’m extremely cautious about GW creating another balancing tool when they don’t have a great track record with all the balancing tools they have currently (eg points). I think it’s pretty wild that GW have just chucked in a new system for scoring extra VPs with no apparent consideration for how this will actually affect games. There’s nothing in the post to suggest that they’ve done any sort of analysis on game VP differential to understand what effect this will actually have. Have they even looked at the battleplans to see how these are affected by extra VPs available? Of course not. It’s also slightly counter-intuitive in that it just encourages people to double down on the Sin list units. Why take small units of Fulminators that give up 2+ extra VPs every 12w dealt instead of one unit giving up 2+ VP every 24w which you can also better buff? There’s also the fact that the list isn’t equal at all. You get 2VP from doing 12 damage to a 4+ save (Longstrikes), and 1 VP from doing 12 damage to a 4+ over 4 turns (Morathi). One of these is not like the other. Same with salamanders vs dragons. SCE world problems, but I’m also not keen about the fact that 3 of the only good units for dealing damage can’t earn bonus VP. This doesn’t encourage me to use the rest of the book, because the other units are held back for other reasons (Annihilators) or simply don’t do enough damage (Paladins, Evocators, other Dracoths). The notable absence of Idoneth and Gotrek is baffling. Finally this is going to play havoc with any tournament system using VPs as a scoring system. A few extra VPs for killing monsters is fine but there could be 8 or more extra VPs floating about here which some armies can get and others can’t.
