    AoS 3 New Rules Discussion

    For Nighthaunt, Reapers, Bladegheist and Herridans are now 10 model min unit size. This is good news. It means our main sources of damage isn't knee capped completely, we just have to deal with 32mm base size unit coherency which is just something we'll have to deal with. 

    Everything else unit size wise is the same. Some points increases for some units (Chainrasp up 15 points, probably our penance for spamming them last edition) but then most units in the game did to some degree. All things considered we dodged a bullet here. We're still hurting pretty badly with the loss of our warscroll battalions, unit coherency, lack of monsters, ranged units etc., but at least we're still playable at this point. 

    All that's left is the hope (but not guarantee) of day one FAQs.

    Overall this edition will be interesting. I'm hoping our new book will give us something to do to make up for our lack of other things, like more damage and survivability, but for right now our units are properly sized (considering the new rules) but we'll still probably always use as many maxed sized units as possible to make up for our current short comings. 

    If GW wanted money, they wouldn't have nerfed horde armies like they did lol. 

    They nerf horde armies so you buy monsters/msu etc as you already bought your hordes... they will buff them back next edition ;)

    why not? it says "Battleline" so its battleline in destruction and all orruk warclans, it doesnt say "battleline in kruleboyz army"

    Battleline in big waagh is specified... look at the other entries

    Its possible that they gain it when the Warclans book drop.

    How is everyone hype after the rules leak? I really like the models so far, but I really wanted to see what others units are available before committing to them... The luckwarm warcrolls didn't help too.

    Hype kinda levelled off for now. I bought GSG for the amazing models and have since paid the price with their rules, not making that mistake again. Battletome soon though for warclans!

    Some possible sub allegiances from the lore in the Dominion book, different kinds of tribes that are defined by their specialty:

    - Badstabbas: Warriors and bosses that spear head the Kruleboyz vicious raids. The most frequently seen of the swamp orcs on the battlefield and have the most in common with the other kinds of orruks (ironjawz and bonesplitterz).

    - Beast-Breakza: Monsters hunters that are adept of tracking, trapping and breaking those creatures that share their repulsive homes, riding them into battle as powerful war mounts and selling them to other tribes in return of raw materials and grots to use as bait.

    - Detfspikerz: Spiteful tinkerers that are famous for fashioning crude but deadly war machines and capable of surprising efficient constructions if given the chance. 

    - Gitsnatcherz: Specially malevolent kind of Kruleboyz that take those taken as captives in other tribes successful raids.

    I assume those are sub allegiance rather than social division between than, as there is no mention about the shamans among them. In any case, the trogoth boss and the balista would fit very well in the Beast-breakza and the Detfspikerz... maybe each tribe will get some unit representing them (and that they will buff with their rules).

    This!

    Yeah, I'd expect:

     - The two monsters teased in the WarCom article.

     - A special character.

     - Gnashtooth cavalry unit.

     - Another hero. Maybe a hobgob, maybe another Murknob.

    Then there's one more slot that I desperately hope will be another orruk unit, whether foot or a second cav unit, to bulk out the options for listbuilding.

    Yeah the single battleline unit is a little limiting.

    I'm really hoping they cash in on some of the leaked lore at some point as it talked about a lot of interesting stuff.

    in 4chan a person assures that there will be 6 more (units), including one named hero and two monsters

     

    I don't know if it includes the troll and the war machine in those 

    If that includes the trogg/artillary + 2 monsters already flagged on warcom... that's just 2 more kits

    Late to the party but how do you think Kruleboyz wil play hord? gunline? anbush/deapstrike? buffs/synergis? monster? i get no real feling how this Mork orks wil pley from the article

    they have weak warscrolls, so I assume it's buff/synergy and trying to ping MW as much as possible before you get tabled because of your bad saves and bravery. Feels like you are hitting hard and fast before you die. Don't think there is much potential for attrition.

    I am just happy that even after the hard nerfs from removal of stacking modifiers, Gloomspite are not the worst Grots in the destruction alliance. There is something inherently funny about Hobgoblins being worse than normal goblins.

    It does take a fair amount of effort to make grots even worse so the design team should be commended.

    Like most of articles, I mean without points you can claim almost anything.
     

    That being said they should mention Boingrot Bounderz (instead of Fanatics) for whom CA +1 to hit with their 4+ hits means 25% increase in damage.

    Fanatics unfortuantely die to Unleash Hell as was mentioned earlier in thread, and now we can be sure of wording of that CA, so RIP.

    I felt this one was particularly bad as it described the big nerf and then talked about an imaginary "strength" that kind of just implies everyone has been doing it wrong... and not that GSG have just been abjectly non-competitive for the last two years...

    ...then went on about one of the few good units and all the things it already did. Dazzling stuff... I hope we get someone different to write our new battletome....

    Am I the only one a little worried about the balance between Kruleboyz and Stormcast? I’m fine with armies getting rolled back a bit, that’s great for the game. But compared to the Kruleboyz, the Stormcast look scary. The Hobgrots seem pretty lacklustre as well without any army traits. Much concern 🤔

    I think the battletome will be when it all comes together! the starter box is a model selling vehicle. I really want them to have a strong ruleset as well as I think they have nailed the models!!

    As someone who is more hobby focused than gaming focused, the rules/points (which can and will change over time) are less important than the models to me, which on the whole look to be nice kits and the fluff, which I'm excited to dive into. 

     

    I like the hobby a lot but would like a strong ruleset as well, as my group has some filthy armies that my GSG just get runover by....

    I am really hoping for lots of overlapping buff/synergy with lots of heros/totems etc! I want them to emphasise the Morkiness and Kunnin!

     

    Edit: I want to see lots of monsters and machines basically!!

    There is a lot of scope for more models in these descriptions so that is quite re-assuring!

    the rumors (confirmed) about the profile and points of the kruleboyz, come from the same place as the rumors of the crocodile and the bat?

    It would have been nice to ask this source what more units there will be.

    I am worried that it is an army with very few units

    It’s not a new battletome release. It’s a new subfaction for orruks so I wouldn’t expect a LRL level of models/units (its even less likely in destruction).
