  1. Nah, that's the kind of mentality that eventually stagnates the setting. GHR is effectively already the 5th Chaos God, having it force it's way to being on the same level of the other four would disrupt the flow of the great game and potentially spiral other story threads off from it now that the status quo of the four has been forever changed. It'll be a net positive narratively for Grand Alliance Chaos with no real change overall.
  2. That's an odd choice but a welcome one as I'd been meaning to pick up one of those for a future project
  3. I believe that like 40k they're getting rules for Spearhead at the launch of the new edition, but being replaced as new books come out: As well as updates to Matched Play and Path to Glory, the new edition of Warhammer Age of SIgmar is accompanied by Spearhead, a fresh game mode that plays in an hour or less using the contents of each faction’s Spearhead and Vanguard boxes. I can't remember where they said that each faction would get a Spearpoint box but I'm sure they have (and it makes sense from a branding point of view).
  4. FWIW the cards we had said build and paint. Obviously stores will do it in a way they can get away with that is in the spirit of the campaign whilst promoting engagement. Like if I were running a store I might say built and primed is half a point, painted is the other half, and then if people are struggling with painting emphasis games to get them engaged. But the staffers will know how best to do that That’s really cool, thanks for sharing
  5. Very fair, I figure if I can get most of the painting done over the next month or two then I only need to play one or two games in store to do the rest but it's obviously geared up towards those who spend a lot of time on the hobby. Hopefully there's plenty of spare coins going around that you can get later on
  6. I mean obviously it depends on your own work load but you have 3 months to do enough of those things to earn the coin for what it's worth. I'm using it as an excuse to work through my Daughters of Khaine in my pile of unmade stuff rather than buying much too.
  7. The event starts on the 6th April so I guess we'll see stores start promoting it over the next week or so ready for it. You sign up as either a protector or destroyer of the city (regardless of faction) and then have a score sheet to complete to earn points. If you get 18 points that you get a success for your side and a Coin Malleus. Points are for: Paint a full Vanguard or Spearhead box (6 points) Paint a leader/hero (1 point) x2 Paint a battleline unit (1 point) x2 Paint a behemoth (1 point) Paint an artillery unit (1 point) Paint any unit (1 point) x4 Play a Path to Glory game (1 point) x4 Play any game of Age of Sigmar (1 point) x4 Complete a Path to Glory Quest (2 points) And then there's bonus points for introducing a new player to the game
  8. That's a good point. It might be worth waiting until after the event starts to give them all a chance to post it or the Community team to publish a list.
  9. So here's a general question, probably more for it's own thread, but with each GW store being assigned a new named city to found/destroy as part of the upcoming campaign leading up to 4th ed, is there any interest in cataloguing those? Or would people be too concerned about giving out details of where they live?
  10. Whilst not as big as a new 40k edition, they'll get a bunch of new players interested in the new edition so having stuff like this easy to find on the new edition articles (it'll be linked in the bottom of the rest of the articles coming over the next few months) will help get them aware and interested in the setting.
  11. Mistweaver Saih has a lot stylistically in common with the Khainite Shadowstalkers so I think it's safer to say she's more a proto Daughter of Khaine than any of Malerion's followers. That said Malerion will almost certainly happen at some point, he's too big a plot point to not. But the Chorfs will come first
  12. I wonder if the reason GW stores are going to be running Path to Glory events is to help sell through Vanguard boxes in store ahead of replacing them
  13. I mean that all tends to be down to a difference of opinion in different groups, and people upset by something will likely be more vocal and active about expressing their opinion. If a community has been hit heavily by scalpers then they tend to be much more unwilling to tolerate even more mundane actions. Supply within in that market is a factor as well. Like if the CoS spearhead was hard to get in Spain then they might mistake you buying and splitting one with you buying and splitting a dozen for profit etc.
  14. It's nothing to do with speed or planning etc. Whilst those are all factors in the overall thing the main issue is the size of the GW brand and how much is made in house. Of course they're doing things like balancing safe working practices at the factory with ever increasing demand for models. GW took a stab at what they thought The Old World would sell, they turned out to be wildly wrong, so they have to reallocate production time to restocking that, in the mean time 10 other kits go out of stock, so they have to then work out what priority there is to allocate production time there is to restocking, and this will be done based on demand and complexity. That production time restocking will include putting in orders for new boxes, instructions and books which aren't printed in house, as well as shipping. The whole thing is a bit like spinning plates. Thing is GW rarely destroys stock (they do but it's a last resort) so if you go to the actual shops, especially Warhammer World, it's not impossible to find old box sets where they've got a few extra copies waiting to be sold, same as lgs do. So the whole thing is nothing to do with how long it takes to cast a sprue, or ship a product to stores, or order boxes etc, it's about the sheer number of sku's they have to keep available as best they can. And trust me, as frustrating as it is to wait for restocks there's plenty of fandoms where production of merch is carried out in factories in Asia where there just is no restocks. Maybe we have to be patient but GW will eventually restock most of those things.
