  1. Interesting info. I think I like the sense of 'hero plus retinue' feel, and opening up subfactions to be fighting style rather than actual specific colour scheme guys is good.

    Very interesting reference to 'manifestation lore' too...

  2. I'm not quite sure how much more streamlined they can even make AoS army construction. It's not exactly complex as it is.

    One thing I'd love them to bring back from the old days, following the prompt of 40k 10th, is a return of points costs for general traits/magic items. This is, admittedly, probably the opposite of streamlining.

  3. Pretty nifty reveals. Shame we didn't see any actual miniatures from the new starter box, and they're still being pretty cagey about a lot of the potential rules changes at hand.

    The Underworlds fanatics are utterly gonzo. I hope we don't see new flagellants for CoS being quite so silly, design-wise, but it really works for Underworlds.

    Ossiarch Warcry band is promising. Hopefully we'll see the main Ossiarch range explore a bit more of the Geiger-esque bone constructs thing in the future.

  4. I'd advise really keeping your expectations limited when it comes to info about 4th ed rules changes tomorrow. I'd expect mechanics to be kept very tight to their chest for now, and only parcelled out slowly over the months to come.

    Just looking at the this they say this is the last book in the dawnbringer series, I thought there were going to be 6?

    I think Goonhammer are just a bit confused, and there will very likely be a 6th book. The narratives in Dawnbringers haven't come to a close yet - among other things, the 'one will fall' thing hasn't happened.

    Obviously some plot stuff will remain open once the series ends but 5 feels like it would be a very odd point to draw the curtains across the stage and go 'we've finished this series now'.

    I think that the reason that Phoenix Temple were removed from CoS is that they're about to be replaced by Tyrion when Lumineth get a new Battletome

    Yeah, if I were a betting man this is what I'd place my wager on. Tyrion has to turn up at some point and he's thoroughly associated with sun imagery now, so I imagine they want to bring back phoenix-related stuff via his followers.

    To be fair, AoS-ified Phoenix Guard type models would potentially be awesome.

  7. I'd definitely like to see more regular units for quite a few factions, yeah. Also very much on the generic heroes train for most factions - there's a few that could maybe do with one or two more named *minor* characters, as opposed to more demigod/god tier types, but generally I'd love to see the range get fleshed out better for the 'your guys' side of army building.

  8. Great model that's just not for me - really glad to see a non-Vyrkos vampire special character too. Also great that it's someone entirely new foe AoS even if the design does have those Lahmia call-backs, and I think that's some fantastic lore around the serpent's origin and nature.

  9. I'm not excited about the lack of the colours of the Winds of Magic, unfortunately.

    It may just be my reading comprehension failing, but I didn't see anything about a limit on how many spells a wizard can cast, so can a wizard just cast every spell they know each turn?

  10. Looks very AoS'y, unless the new Kroot (re)sculpts are going really crazy on the feathers department.

    Last time we had an advent calendar, in 2021, it was all focused on one specific box (Eldritch Omens). I wonder if we're getting the same for an AoS box this time, or if it'll be just a general pick'n'mix of rumour images.
