it's not an epub persay, I've only seen pictures

can't you use them in the skirmish mode anyway? they have tabletop stats. my only gripe with AOS skirmish is the updated rules are in a White Dwarf I can't find for a reasonable price, and no idea if they updated their ePub rules to be in line with that mag

mostly disappointed they didn't show this and DOK at the same time we knew more IJ were coming, this time as brutes

i hope they're not too expensive.. I like the Stormcast dice but they feel a bit overpriced so I haven't bought them

@PJetski Apologies for the 2nd ping but I just remembered the errata that specifies longstrike ability doesn't activate in the hero phase. Will you/do you need to update your Anvilstrike blog to reflect how this changes playing the list?

Sitting on a Vanguard SC box to trade in for a LRL preorder hoping they have some kind of combo/SC box... not a fan of shelling out for a dual box only to sell the other half. I agree that a quick article every 2 weeks is not cutting it, especially since there's not really any other AOS type news?? I've been enjoying the Tau stuff from Psychic Awakening but good gods give us some meat to the AOS news. The big news for Warcry cards got such tiny blurbs that had players asking questions as to what exactly was included in the pack

this is why GW doing a gargant army makes me nervous: they have limited production, and wouldn't those sprues take more space than new units for other smaller factions? I hope we'll get a sense of how big the Lumineth release will be tomorrow (22nd) at the Toy Fair... and eyes on the final Underworld warbands.

Came to check the rumors and now not only did I learn something new about human eyes but I want new, brighter paints AND I also might need extra $$ for Seraphon resculpts?? Now I can't think of anything but iridescent lizards, if that's even possible with acrylics Feb 22nd cannot come fast enough

so a gyrobomber not saying you're wrong, asI personally like bolt throwers as a weapon, but I think any siege weapon Lumineth get have a chance of being an iteration of one that already exists.

what about a bolt thrower... on a flying chariot?

we'll see when the cavalry article comes out probably, I was under the impression that the spears, bows, and cav were all Auralan

oohh i thought y'all meant the blue one ha

it really doesn't make sense that they aren't battleline with a lord arcanum

where is that Zenith Warden art from? not seeing anything on community site? also dang, didn't mean to start spear discourse 😅 I highly doubt they will be one-use weapons as they are constantly mentioned as a Phalanx Unit. But it will be interesting to see how the two weapon profiles differ in both statline and usage.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/02/12/warband-focus-the-new-warbandsgw-homepage-post-3/ so Castigators might be useful somewhere now?? I'm hoping their Warcry card is worth the points...

So, combat phase buff like Sequitors + possibly decentralized CP like OBR? Where the unit leader can further buff a unit with their own command. I'm sure there will be differing mages to reflect the Lumineth aspects, but I'm wondering if this sentence means the special/elite units are going to be Tyrionic or Teclian specifically, or if each brother also handles different aspects (i.e earth/fire for Tyrion and water/air for Teclis) Spear attacks on turn they're charged/they charge, then sword otherwise? Or perhaps a secondary unit rule? So any rumors that don't look like Eldar runes or Old World Elf runes are Lumineth, and we can expect the book to have a new alphabet for transcribing this new language!

this is why I quickly got over the End Times being written poorly, once I actually gave AOS a chance. SO much more to be done. The Old World looks like it will be an earlier imperial year than what Total Warhammer and 8th ed are, but it still leave little room for anything new.

the hair was confirmed as Shadowsun's new model

I am expecting: an archer Vanari/Auralan battleline a chariot, since hawk ones were squatted sphinx behemoth by itself elite units for each aspect: wind, water, earth, fire(?) - these might overlap with infantry, cavalry, and siege/behemoth/special units one hero for each aspect, mixed bag of melee/caster the hammer rumor mills look like they'd fit into Lumineth... earth aspect elites?

Both SCE and NH need new books, they have fallen behind as AOS 2.0 has been fleshed out. I think DOK have an older book, but they've been doing quite well through 2.0 from what I've read., while the two armies to most likely bring new people into the game are lukewarm. Not only is that bad for repeat customers, but it's bad to advertise to new ones. I don't think anyone here wants an OP book, and I don't think we expect every single unit to be viable in any build, but I don't think it's asking too much to put what are supposed to be literal demigod soldiers at a level where they feel that way on the tabletop.

idk, they make shoulderpads way too big so who's to say they didnt make the hammers smaller

Yeah the list sounded nonsensical, because of how lacking its support would be. I cannot find any other claim or even a mention of a list like this, and the LVO I saw mentioned had a basic 20 block sequitor list that won not 24 longstrikes... it's probably the most bizarre list I've seen someone tell a new player to go for

Today I saw a discussion on the subreddit, someone claimed there was a 24x raptor (2x12) Anvilstrike list? I have never seen any of y'all talk about having that many raptors, but they said it was in tournaments..? I can't find anything searching in the megathread but not sure how accurate searches are. @PJetski have you heard about a list like that?

shootcast relies on aetherwings, which you didn't list

how can we be compared to SM when our stormbois can't even melee and don't have plot armour smh
