I agree or built their own stormhost. Maybe we can get rules for building our own stormhosts?

I never said not to take Karnak, In fact if his sculpt wasn't so ugly (or the flesh hounds I would own them)

Thank you!! ? I can think of several wonderfully sculpted models who look great, have fun rules and would be considered good except when they have a point value associated with them and/or are considered only in matched play battleplans (not counting GHB2018 as I've not seen it yet). But I get it, human nature is to take the easiest path available. And GW points is the easy way. It requires less discussion, less compromise, less caring about the other person having a fun time, etc. My first instinct when I see new models is "how does it look, does it appeal me" then I look at it's matched play perspective. Sure this means my armies are not as competitive.

Sorry I meant board control in terms of placement of your opponents summoned/deep striking units. since most have to stay 9" or greater away from you

What if we started drowning opponents in bodies (and blood) with MSU's? It would rack up BTs fast, and could give us board control with positioning (sure our enemy wants to move a unit but first they have to chew through multiple ranks of our MSUs).

Agreed I was interested in AoS and stormcast for the good guy shining armor aspect. It's like GW keeps changing everything I liked about AoS.

personally I think look terrible without helmets. And why would you take it off in battle?

Why are they not wearing helmets! sigh...

Well now that is an interesting one...

No the most fun. ?

I agree the allegiance abilities and artifacts made the game very unbalanced. Too many permutations of things. The best AoS to play is one without allegiance abilities and artifacts.

I'd rather they create new characters than bring old ones into AoS

"Having overseen the Anvil of Apotheosis – where the souls of dead Stormcast Eternals are reforged to life, the Lord-Arcanums heal their fellow warriors and return them to battle nigh-instantly." Stormcast summoning? Maybe each army will have a way to return/summon models

Problem is its almost impossible to find ppl to play with anymore. Hopefully when the rules come out they will still be welcoming to casual players

As someone who started playing wargames with the original AoS and never enjoyed games with allegiance abilities etc all this news is very disheartening.

The campaign books have a lot of lore in them.

I disagree, most stormcast haters I've found seem to have played WHFB.

Agreed this would be ideal.

New Battleplans? There are probably over 100 already. I don't think they need new rules for new battleplans

It's cool, I like the paint scheme vs normally painted warlocks!

Looking great! can you put a pic of your doomfire warlock?

That would be great!!

I think the latest story is a sign of the Grand Alliances going away in "phase 2"

IF this is all true, sounds like the things that AoS did that brought me into wargming are going away. Bummer...

Hmm...invest in Knight Heraldor's...
