It depends, if everybody wants to sell that part of the box is going to be pretty hard to sell, and some people don't want to lose time selling it in second market, like me. I was going to preorder it, like I have been doing since beginning, now I think I'm fine just waiting for a future magazine with the stormcast part or waiting for a battleforce.

Could make sense. We know almost everything about the new edition but terrain and command models in a unit, if they use the next week for that, and start with the faction focus the 13 of May, those faction focus end just the 15 of June.

I'm pretty worried about it. If they are talking about the starter box, with so many goodies, that means the price will be to the moon or the box will come pretty light on minis (and mybe that's why they are taking so long to show them)

Well, that is the first aos launch box I'm going to skip. Hope they make one without forcing scenery on me.

All our leakers are missing and the cadence of articles from gw is terrible, so people just start random discussions.

They are retiring old models in 40k wich each book release, so is not impossible to get more and more cutoffs throught the edition or revamping stuff to send old models to old world.

Hey, that is the first Malerion leak not coming from 4chan in the history of AoS? My first Malerion Daemon should be named Nezzhil too

Epidemius, scribes, fluxmaster and viceleader got a sneaky retire from the web without being in the infamous article, so we have resin kits available just for nurgle, khorne and ogors.

Well, they had 3 years to try to balance faction tactics and I'm still waiting for the results.

Tactics now have a value of 4 victory points. If they release the tactics article and I read something about "Faction battle tactics" I will just close the tab and start painting marines.

Is impossible for heroes to compete with units, because units have more wound density, more attacks and eat buffs exponentially, so the rol of damage dealer is reserved for them, so you don't want to waste a hero slot for that, instead of a buffer hero to improve such damage dealer units.

No Malerion = discarded

I think is impossible to explain worse how prayers work

WTF Stormcast had two different heraldors?

I think the pair of chaos cultists will be just tokens.

I think is easier to turn glass a humble human than a big gargant.

Yep, I think so. I wanted to see thar style in AoS, but is good to have proper mechanics and not to be just 40k in a fantasy setting

What a masterpiece of an article. Retreat with a cost in mortal wounds. Charging visible units. Mystic shield gone. Can't shoot in melee. Health now per unit, not per model. Unit roles in the book… Amazing rules, amazing edition

Sometimes I try to convince myself that no, Malerion will come with a standalone army, but then I think about DoK, that is one of the most expensive armies to collect right now because you need that big fantasy direct sale piece and witch elves are expensive af, and any discount box (from vs against nh to spearhead, krethusa's box or battleforce) have 0 to negative value thanks to our beloved warlocks that nobody cares about. But if you make a big refresh, then suddenly your one-for-seven-warcrolls box turns into 3-7 separate boxes, so the price goes even higher. Tbh every faction from first edition is a big mess.

That's why I allways say that something has to change in that faction. I don't know if merging with someone (IDK?) or releasing Malerion with them, but DoK needs a very aggressive overhaul.

Dok is even funnier if you analyze the content of those kits. The faction has 20 warscrolls, (without uw stuff that we know is leaving aos soon and the endless/invocation pack) and one of those is from warcry. With the 19 AoS focused warscrolls, we have 7 that come in the same box that is coming from fantasy. Hag, Slaughter, Avatar, Medusa and the three altars. That's more than the third part of the army. You can add witch aelves and the favourite of nobody warlocks to a total of 10 from 19, more than half the playable units are coming from fantasy, just the half if you want to add warcry.

Boringcasts

Tbh I don't care at all about the destruction of a new builded city that I don’t actually know. The scope of this series is a big miss.
