Where can I find the new rules for 3.0 on coalitions? (I'm specifically interested in relation to SCEs and Sylvaneth in Living Cities). Is this in the new free rules, the core rules book or the generals handbook? Was there a Warhammer Community article explaining it? Thanks

I'm unfamiliar with Tomes Celestial, would this make the Seraphon Battletome out of date and no longer valid?

If Squats return (and I hope they do) will we still be able to use the term "getting squatted" as we do now? 😂

Paying once a month to use the app...

Pay us money for our books and then pay us a subscription to access our corrections and clarifications to the books you've paid for!

"But yeah there is a chance they paywall everything else and leave the warscrolls available" The first quote suggests the entire app will be behind the the W+ paywall. So nowhere for free warscrolls to be free.

Apologies if I've broken any forum etiquette here.

From The Red King's post on the Warscrolls thread quoting an email they received: "This all-new app is completely free while it's in beta, so you can use it to its fullest and help us make it even better. Once the beta period comes to an end, the app will become another awesome part of Warhammer+ along with Warhammer 40,000: The App, and loads more – another fantastic reason to subscribe to the ultimate Warhammer service." So the whole things being paywalled. But feel free to use it for now and contribute your time to GWs development of the app for free, which they'll then charge you to use. Grrr.

From the description on the play store it looks like you will only be able to access info from books you've paid for: "This app is an invaluable tool for anyone who enjoys playing games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. It provides you with a quick and easy way to check your rules in the heat of battle, browse battletomes you own, and plan your next army. Core Rules Read the Core Rules in the app for free." This suggests the core rules are the only bit that will stay free.

From the bit talking about the app on the latest Sunday Preview on Warhammer Community: "You can try it out for free once the beta version goes live, so keep an eye out for more details later next week." So the freeness does appear to be temporary.

Any indication if this is free forever? I remember reading something about a temporary free beta version before it disappears behind a paywall.

Unfortunately the model seems to have been working to bring in the long term profits for 40k for years. I guess the GW gamble is if the same will work for AoS? Or maybe the gamble was a few years ago when they thought if it'd be worth giving away the rules and scrolls for free instead of charging for then, so they can get us all hooked and then start charging. The first hit is always free as the drug dealers used to say 😞 And they've given us lots of free hits to make sure we're hooked.

Might be worth posting this as a question in the painting and modelling section.

The feeling on here at the time was that this is exactly what they did.

I play with the (digital) BT but I use the freely available warscrolls on the freely available app (rest in peace) *all the time* to check both my units' and the opponent's warscrolls. So this looks more and more likely to result in (another) straight downgrade of my experience with AoS For me money is tight. I rely on the free warscrolls. I can justify £25 for the Cities tome, just, but if I then have to buy the SCE and Sylvaneth tomes to have the rules for all my units then that's £75 just for the rules for my army. And against family finances I can't justify that. Even worse is not being able to research what my opponents might be bringing to the table. Am I meant to buy the tome for every faction I might face?

Thanks, it does help. These look great.

Thanks! That's really helpful, and the photo too. The neck issue is the easier way round - easier th remove the neck from the Acolyte body or the new head and smooth the join with greenstuff than to have to greenstuff a whole new neck. Current thinking is to use the World Eaters heads and then I can get a Aspiring Deathbringer and de-khorne it and switch the axe for a sword to have as my unit leader as I think it'll match well.

Planning some upcoming purchases - I am thinking of getting a box of 20 Kairic Acolytes. 10 will be made up as intended, to serve Tzeentch, perhaps I'll bless a few with minor mutations. The other 10 I am thinking of making into an alternitive gladiator type take on Freeguild Greatswords for my Living City army by trimming or smoothing off the obvious Tzeentch symbols and bits. They will obviously need new heads and my current plan is to get some heads from Forgeworld for them, either Stormcast heads or World Eaters Legion MKII (maybe trimming the 'horns') off. My question is if any of you fine folk have tried anything like this before and if you have any thoughts on how well this would work head size to body size wise?

This is sad news. Do Tzeentch armies still get access to the 'general chaos' stuff with the Mark of Chaos ability?

Have Disciples of Tzeentch been un-Gor-ed? Sorry if this has already been asked but I can't find it and the AOS.3 threads are too unwieldly to go back over. With the new 3.0 rules on battalions does this mean that Disciples loose the option of the Phantasmagoria of Fate Battalion and does this mean that the various types of beastmen (who aren't bird-beastmen) can no longer be part of a Tzeentch army (except as allies?) I mean I'm obviously all for change, but this would suck...

Do we know yet if the basic AOS 3 rules will be free like they were with AOS 2? And if the warscrolls will be free for download/on the App?

Hello, this is a great post and seems a good place for my Noob Death question. Are all forces or followers of Death Dead/Undead or are there currently alive people who serve Death? I know that Cities of Sigmar can have wizards (Mages?) who are from the Realm of Death, where do they fit in? Do they worship and get their power from Nagash? Are they alive or undead?

Thanks both. I am slowly building a Living City army based mainly on models I'd like to (mod and) paint rather than being in any way competetive. I like the look of the lizards and lizard chariot but really dislike the lore around what I guess previously were dark elves. So I'm going to try to give them a bit more of a wood elf/Wanderer look and wanted to fluff-up where they got thier lizards/dragons/dinosaurs from. I think I may well just go with "tamed" lizards from the forest.

Within the lore of AOS are Seraphon Cold Ones and Order Serpentis' Drakespawn the same creatures? Or different but related or are they totoally different beasts with different origins that happen to look similar? And what are their origins? Are they magically created creatures, tamed dinosaurs? Or something different?

It's not about what is plausable, but I can imagine Lightening Empowered Angelic Warriors and Celestial Lizard People, but I can't imagine my 20 crossbowmen firing into my dwarves in chaotic hand to hand combat with skaven and taking out skaven but not hitting a single dwarf.
