    Help with GW epub file?

    All the GW publications I've purchased have been via the iBooks store and they work great on my enormous iPad. I realize that's probably not helpful, but maybe it is?

    It's not since I am using Windows 10.   But thanks for the attempt :)

    Yeah I stopped getting their digital books because they don't want to make it accessible.

    I would suggest emailing them about your frustrations and the lack of assistance. This is the 'better way' to get their attention and begin change. 

    I did,  I've been pretty much told tough luck, no refunds and no help.  Crazy town.

    If anyone has a physical copy and can make a pdf of the AOS Solo rules I'll show you my receipt to prove I own a copy.

    I purchased White Dwarf 458 digitally (for solo rules as covid increases here) but I can't find a reader app for windows 10 that will read their epub3 fixed layout format properly.  If it does read its tiny and I can't zoom in, but more often then not it just is all garbled.

    Any recommendations?  The app they list for reading it on their site lists an app that doesnt even support windows 10

    As a stormcast player from AOS 1.0, the paint scheme thing is annoying. I painted mine in the Hammers of Sigmar, this was before there were any rules for different sub-factions.  Had there been I wouldnt have gone with that scheme, I just figured this was how they were supposed to be painted based on marketing materials.  

    Now that there are rules for sub-factions am I supposed to strip my models and repaint?

    I may have misunderstood this, but the impression I got was that having the subscription would give you access to the 40k app and (upcoming) AoS app.  I didn't think they mentioned removing them as standalone entities - however I would imagine the new AoS app could well be priced the same as the 40k one is currently.

    That could be, I dont like 40K so I don't know much about how the current 40K app is.  You pay to download the app?

    The commander is the commander of the battalion. It can be any kind of battlefield leader. The sub commander can be a leader with a wounds characteristic of 10 or less. You can have Mannfred as commander and Belladama in the battle regiment, but if you chose Belladama as the battle regiment commander you now can't also include Mannfred. 

    Regarding old battalions. Ben Johnson said in an earlier video that they would be part of the new path to glory. I would be surprised if they were also in match play though they have not yet confirmed they are not. 

    I think the image is horribly confusing.  

    Reading it written out  makes a lot more sense.

    I'm seeing a lot of discussion of the specific impacts of these new rules, but I'm actually concerned about complexity creep.  With adding Heroic actions, Monstrous actions, generic Prayers, even more generic Command Abilities, the ever-growing list of Allegiance abilities, and more new corner case rules (like the new more confusing coherency rule or added list-building complication with whatever Reinforcements are), I don't know if I'm going to be able to actually play the game.  My opponents still ask me what the CV of Arcane Bolt is, so as a 'beer and pretzels' player, I think 3rd ed might just be too much cognitive load.

    This is my concern.  I really enjoyed AOS 1.0 as it was less complex, 2.0 was fine.  This is sounding like too much for me to care about.  My work is complex, my hobby time needs to be relaxing.  

    I will wait to see the full rules before making a final decision.

    That was my thought as well, why show the "Big winners" and bother to namedrop a playtester with nothing to back it up, like comparing the retributors somehow to the annihilators. Do they do more damage? They are still the same "class" of unit, so if annihilators are the "defensive" guys with a 2+ save, maybe dropping some hints for retributors would be cool?

    My guess is all the other paladins go to a 3+ save and then more output in general. Retributors might get a higher rend or something I hope, that would make them stand out among the melee units.

    Judicators are only mentioned as big winners due to "quality shooting?" how? why? There are longstrikes and ballistas for that, judicators have been the bottom of the barrel for a long time, being over expensive and pathetic in melee as well. If anyone should be able to punch back a bit in combat it should be a stormcast who even has gladius sidearm.

    I own a bunch of these, so an optimist would rejoice that these units are mentioned as big winners and a new book on the way, The pessimist says this is GW trying to get rid of the old stock...

    I agree I think its trying to dump old stock.  the old models got no details.

    well we have no book so i gotta tell you No, but people are expecting AOS 3.0 this year. and i think there's a good chance that if Azyr and/or COS are expanded, Stormcast will be able to have a joint army with them

    Thanks,  Not interested in a joint army so hopefully SCE get a boost

    As someone who was there for the transition. It was the accessible player pool who wanted the army building. With even some of the biggest events contributing to the GHB. 

     

    Of course they wanted the pivot to army building, they were the ones who thought WHFB was great and they loved that army building aspect.  

    I still think pool based armies will be a good compromise for all types of AOS players

    Having been playing AOS Since before the GHB, I have always felt the introduction of the GHB was what started the spiral into a lack of balance.  

    Prior to the GHB you tended to see ppl build lists more around what was cool and fun vs what was the most powerful.  I mostly believe this was the case because there was no points system but the most ppl used the pool system which allowed for greater flexibility in army builds. 

    Once points and artifacts , traits, etc got introduced the game quickly became more about List Building than what was a cool looking army.  And that's OK.  It just a change but one that GW has not handled well IMO.  They just have too many combinations out there and so many things are unused because a couple are so good.

    From my perspective GW prefers the game to be about list building the strongest list (regardless of what they say with the 3 ways to play, its lip service) nowadays.  I'd love to see them keep the optional stuff and switch from a direct point system to more of a pool to increase greater army variety
