  1. I like and play AoS but in my personal opinion WFB was just a better, richer game. Units (again, in my opinion) had more character and diversity, heroes were more individualistic, and the setting was more attractive given it was far more Tolkien-esque. I'd be happy if they basically released a WFB 9th ed based heavily on 8th ed, complete with square bases, movement trays and the rest.

    There's nothing in the ruling on the warscroll that says it can only be done on the turn they are destroyed... it says "at the end of each of your turns, you can pick one unit of Stabbas or Shootas that has been destroyed".  That isn't the same as something like "at the end of a turn in which a unit of Stabbas or Shootas was destroyed", which I think is how you are interpreting it. 

    No I favour playing it RAW as you described but it just seems a bit weird that my opponent could have brought back half the unit after his entire army had been wiped out.

  3. I asked this question in the rules section but no response. Any answers?

    Re loonshrine: "Is there anything that stops you from bringing back the unit in a round other than the one in which they were destroyed. If so, could you even do this after your entire army was wiped out? Cheers..."

    I'll take it! I'm pretty sure Beasts lost both their 6th edition and 7th edition battle reports.

     

    I think it's comparable but removes extra dice rolling. Remember that they gain 2 attacks (different profile) that bloodgreed applies to, meaning 4-5 attacks that can trigger bloodgreed rather than 2-3.

    Most importantly:

    • new bloodgreed is slightly more consistent damage; and
    • new bloodgreed justifies taking bullgors without a doombull. 

    Yes I guess so, I just liked the insane damage it was possible to put out against low armour hordes with the old rule, with both bullgors and Ghorgons.

    Do we know if the Doombull's command ability is the same?

  5. Has anyone considered using the bloodbowl minotaur as a doombull conversion? I'm thinking about it but having a hard time gauging whether it's big enough. Has anyone seen it up close? It's on a 32mm base but it does fill the bases completely.

  6. Yeah but right now minotaurs are only battleline if you're going full warherd. The option to mix factions while keeping minos as battleline through a doombull general would be awesome. Back in 8th edition I used to run the classic minotaur deathstar (minobus) with a massive unit of gor as backup and a few units of ungor raiders for good measure. I'd love to be able to recreate that.

  7. So when I attack with my unit I don't cause wounds to her? Even though it says that I wound her with, say, my Blightkings on a 3? 

     

    Edit: not trying to be argumentative, just seems wounds are both passive and active to me, you can do them and take them.

     

    Edit again: so maybe the use of the word allocate is what I should focus on as you allocate attacks and damage, but not wounds per se. Still wish wounds didn't apply to 2 separate things on warscrolls.

    Yeah, no : what I meant is that between all the other Nurgle units of the forthcoming (finger crossed) Battletome, the Pestigors should be a fast infantry unit (i.e. faster than Blightkings and Plaguebearer, but of course slower than units form other gods allegiances

    What specific movement value do you think they should be then?

    their future scheletons should cover every race and gender, like the undead character from the video game Divinity original sin 2 revealed this week. That would be bold from them and fun for us

    You can tell someone's race from their skeleton?!?!?!!?!!?!?!

    I am really digging the helmet on the Knight of Shrouds, but, apart from that, he looks very generic. Like the Shadowspire Deathrattle, I just don't get that "Yes-that is definitely an Age of Sigmar miniature" feel I got from all the other releases so far.

    I think that's what I like about this model. It almost seems like a nod back to the Old World of WFB and a nice break from the new aesthetic.

    yeah yeah yeah..... we are all exited.

    But this has absolutely nothing to do with AGE OF SIGMAR rumours

    Actually it potentially does. If the same rule structure for AoS is used for 40k, what's to stop people staging mixed-system battles? It wouldn't even be that hard to explain fluff-wise. "One game to rule them all" and so forth...
