  1. Maybe an alternate build for Vindictors multipart box. Lets guess... Stormcast with big swords!
    Vanguard rename? I dunno.

    They can't be new ranged guys, look at the cost of Judicators compared to them. Either the Judicators got a massive buff or the Vanquishers are awful at shooting if they are shooting guys.

  2. Honestly, as other people have said, GW needs to give up on points updates in books.
    The time from completion to actually being released is large, making it so the points updates are the problems of 9 months ago. Slaanesh for instance getting whacked again because the points were made in mind from a pre-pandemic meta seemingly. It does not address the concerns of the new Slaanesh tome because the GHB was probably off to printers went the new tome actually released this year.

    So someone on 4chan who "leaked" the reinforcement rule also "leaked" this release schedule for aos 3rd.

    2021/2022

    Maggotkin, Gitz, Ogors and BoC as the first 4 books after SCE and Orruks. Large releases for Ogors and BoC.

    2022

    Dawnbringer Crusades (rebooted cities)

    Umbraneth and River Temple Lumineth

    2023 

    Chorfs

     

    If this is true I'm quitting aos in protest at Idoneth not getting a new book or models for 4 to 5 years.

    It's not uncommon to yoink rumours from somewhere else that hold validity and mix them in with yours when people are making things up. Like some of the earlier rumours where people took Grimdark stuff and mixed in made-up stuff.

  4. Reading this Reinforcement business.

    Literally why. I honestly don't see why I should bother with that in any sort of friendly game.
    It just seems annoying. The example I saw touted somewhere was Anvils + 12 man Raptor blobs and I'm just like, sounds like the problem in that case is Raptor unit size or the CA, not meriting everyone else's listbuilding to get weird because of it.

    Anyone else thinking we might see more of the "uber-leaders" for factions come out in 3e?

    Most armies have a structure where there's a smaller force that players can fluff out as "their's" that's beholden to a larger organization comprised of many of the smaller ones. I'm talking stuff like Stormcast Chambers to Stormhosts, Flesh Eater Kingdoms to Empires, BoC Beasterds to Greatfrays, etc.

    In the case of the Flesh Eaters, we already have an example of this, with (get this) Ghoul Kings leading Kingdoms that are subservient to the Empires of Archregents. 

    In the case of Ogres, we have Tyrants (who have a model) that lead armies that are under the wider command of Overtyrants (who don't). Stormcast have Lord-Celestants, Aquilors, etc. who lead Chambers that are parts of the wider Stormhosts, headed by Lord-Commanders, who have no table-top presence.

    Given that we have examples of this with Archregents and plenty of god-level characters on the field already, I can't see a legitimate reason other armies don't have access to these leaders who exist in the lore, and the whole system seems like an easy way for GW to squeeze out a bit of extra dosh from players with armies that aren't likely to see real releases for a while. Great potential for alternate builds as named characters, too.

    That'd be nice.
    Some people dislike named characters, but I do like factions having some sort of fieldable bigshot. Gives you something for you to really rally behind and follow their narrative threads. Without such a character you sort of feel like you are on the sidelines.

    If your faction is all nameless, they tend to not do much in narrative.
    Ogors need something. As do Beasts. FEC has their guy, the deadbeat just needs to turn up someday.

  6. sure feels like movement trays, formations, and all things square are on the upswing
    I gotta say, I do kind of like it, units of large models count are obnoxious to play with/against sometimes due to skirmish style positioning and movement of them. At least now all those rats or whatever will be plonked onto something and pile-in is quicker

    If the 25mm model is on the end in a chain it’s still within 1 inch of two models.  An inch is roughly 25.4 mm and so the 1 inch range covers the model directly next to it and the one on the opposite side.  

    the most powerful base size

  8. Hang on, I just realized that units of 6 should be fine (dracolines bought as 6 for example)
    Do the grouping at the ends, once you take one casualty you'll lose coherency but you will have a unit of 5 at this point so your coherency rules change.

  9. Indomitus box
    Overlord
    Warden
    Plasmancer
    Thralls
    Skor Lord
    Skor Destroyers
    Plasmacyte
    Reanimator
    Swarms
    Warriors

    Separate
    Chronomancer
    Psychomancer
    Flayed Ones
    Hexmark
    Void Dragon
    Lokhust Destroyer
    Ophy Destroyers
    Szaraekh
    Doomstalker
    Terrain

    Szeras excluded due to being a Psychic Awakening thing.
    Necrons being the non-posterboy faction analogous to Kboyz.
    Judging from the list, if this edition release cycle is anywhere the size of last year's, there are a fair few more things to come.

  10. talon is pretty unreliable, 3+ to hit and 4+ to wound means 4 attacks gives 4/3 wounds, I'm assuming you don't roll save and only negate with FNP
    generally you might roll 1 die then and it's a 1/6 chance then of actually doing something (the insta-kill), add in FNPs and almost no chance
