    The Rumour Thread

    in Age of Sigmar Discussions

    Posted

    My issue isn't the delay.  Things happen, I get it.  My issue is the stealth edit and lack of communication.  Those together are just beyond the pale imo.  Like who are they trying to fool?  Do they really think the stealth edit will work?  It's insulting and basically makes THEM look stupid, trying to pretend they never said something that we all read and that several people in this very thread have proven that they said. 

    In what way does doing this actually help?  Who was the genius that said "Yeah, let's pretend we never said it would be out in August and then edit our articles to reflect that!  No one will notice and if they do we can say that our articles never said August!  I mean, it's not like we posted said articles on the internet where people can save them and then easily prove we are lying!"  And who was the genius that said in response to that "brilliant let's run with that!"  

    It makes them look scummy ( which it seems they are) and makes them look stupid ( which maybe they are?)  It boggles the mind frankly.

    I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous.  No battletome pre orders?  Seriously, what is their problem?  They should at least acknowledge the fact that they are going to be later than what they said, but they didn't even do that.  Why are they dragging their feet so much on these battletome?  Why are they being so sparse with previews?

    Well, this just pretty much confirms that Stormcast are currently exactly what GW wants them to be: terrible.  If we do get a new battletome soon, it's going to be this same pillow fisted and fragile profile for our units.  This pretty much confirms to me that GW wants Stormcast to suck to appease all the Stormcast haters.  Our faction has more or less been sacrificed to stave off the the haters.  It's total bs.

    Does anyone else feel a little...i don't know...depressed or even betrayed a little by the state of stormcast currently?  I mean, they in no way match the fluff, and it honestly feels sometimes like GW is purposely keeping them bad to appease stormcast haters.  It just feels bad you know?  I know that every army has it's ups and downs, and I know that other armies are bad too, etc. The thing is, it seems almost vindictive sometimes when it comes to stormcast.  Maybe I'm imagining it though, I don't know.  Sorry to ramble, and I'm honestly not trying to come off overly negative.

    Grade the Freeguild units!

    Posted

    So, this is just a fun thread for you to grade the freeguild units on a A - F scale based on your experiences.  Would be great if you could give a rationale to go along with it (such as with hallowheart this unit does such and such).

    Freeguild general:

    General on griffon:

    Hurricanum:

    Luminark:

    Battlemage:

    Battlemage on griffon:

    Freeguild guard:

    Greatswords:

    Freeguild handgunners:

    Freeguild crossbowmen:

    Demigryph knights:

    Outriders:

    Pistoliers:

    Flagellants:

     

    Chances of a new battletome

    in Stormcast Eternals

    Posted

    So, what are the chances we are going to get a new battletome?  Also, when do you think it might be?  Have their been any leaks, rumblings, or rumors that point to one coming out, or is it just blind speculation at this point?  Any indication that GW cares about how weak stormcast are at the moment?

    Winter FAQs & Errata - 2019

    And how exactly did the one viable list get nerfed?  The only changes were that evocator's celestial lightning arc only triggers once in combat (which since there is no fight twice in the stormcast tome, only really nerfs the evocators when taken as allies/cities of sigmar) and then points got reduced for 3 different models.  While I agree that the stardrakes still aren't particularly great at their new point totals, I found the evokitties decent at their previous point total, and great at the new one.

    As for previous lists, the only really competitive list prior to this was anvils + longstrikes shootcast, with gavbomb and ballista spam getting honorable mentions (though neither of those were better than 3-2 lists).  None of these lists are affected by the changes, except that some may consider running kitties rather than foot evocators now.

    The raptors range is now set at 24 inches in the herophase when using anvilguard ability as opposed to what it used to be because they don't count as having not moved any longer.  It's right there in the errata.  It's a nerf that wasn't needed.  Stormcast don't need ANY nerfs at this point.  They are straight trash for the most part.  Gav bomb is not viable anymore, and hasn't been for awhile.  Ballista spam doesn't get the job done either anymore.  The one list that worked was anvilguard with raptors, and even that wasn't doing so hot anymore, although better than the rest.  Now that is nerfed slightly with nothing to show for it barring dracolines dropping a bit cuz gw wants to sell battle boxes.  So yeah, I'm disappointed.  Stormcast got shafted.  AGAIN.

    As a stormcast player, I'm quite disappointed.  The one viable list got nerfed, and we got 3 drops total on units that are terrible and still terrible even after the drops, barring the dracolines.  It's honestly kinda crazy.  Stormcast are trash currently and STILL get a bit of a nerf.  It's unbelievable.

    So a slight nerf to raptors to go along with only 3 units getting points drops...lol.  Oh GW.  You really do have it out for stormcast don't you?  Also, I know that the stardrake got a points cut, but in what world is it worth 500 points with that warscroll, especially given what other units that cost around the same in other armies can do?  The more I think about it, the more convinced I become that GW really is trying to just appease the loud complainers about stormcast.

    It really, really just seems intentional at this point.  I mean, How can they not realize how poor everything is?  They themselves admitted that the sequitors and evocators nerfs were out of date right?  Why would they change them back then and then in this faq leave slaanesh, of all things, the way it is?  What could the reason be?  Is it really just being completely out of touch with the reality of the army?
