Sure, it'll be a free beta... as long as you're already a Warhammer+ subscriber. No, we totally said that right from the start. Check those old articles again - see, they all say that, and they definitely haven't changed! You're the crazy one.
I think most people have recently become aware of the shadow edits, it is what it is. I'm not arguing its not happening. I definitely feel the message was sent to us: Just deal with it.
We as consumers ( the heart investors) can choose not support it if that is required as individuals. Go with whatever you gotta do to send them a message, but I suggest sending it the same passive tone of Just deal with it.

I have always played Drakkfoot. In 1st edition you were able to summon various Forge World monsters via casting a spell. It was a whopping 10 to cast, but with the various bonuses we could cast the spell fairly reliably. I always loved the Idea of a Wurrgog being able to conjure an incarnate elemental of beasts, and I have always been a little sad that we lost that.
From reading the first edition battletome I gotta say the flavor was there and it had a ton of very unique and individuality that carved their runes into age of sigmar. I feel for those that wanted it in 2.0 and 3.0.
Thank you for sharing your perspective! It will be an interesting project because I never gave them much thought before 2.5 AOS. I find myself interested in where they could expand.

So with "preorders in september" who will bet it is going to be september 25th?
Probably.
Would be an interesting B-day for me to witness a 25th pre-order I'll say that.

Path to glorious paper work 3.0 for me.
I have gone through the book so many times, roughly 48 or so pages back to back of making adaptations, but as usual, the fundamental core system does not want this because its going to bog down any chance to get a game in. Spend more time reading how to play and what even to do vs the short gameplay feels intentional to me. I would just like this looked at by GW and to listen to the people who give feedback: I want to play this system and ultimately enjoy it more than once, but until I can make a whole new one or update PTG3.0, Either way I have this on hold because I don't have the time for it sadly.

That's something they're moving away from in 40k as well. If the rumors prove true and we get homogenised weapon stats (hammers/swords on Liberators etc.) that would point towards less customisation options in the near future.
Agreed.
I've seen this too often with the stratagems of recent editions, all about damage cap or you die from it, maybe we'll see objectives gone soon too, not a lot of support in the 3.0 or 9th edition 40k books of my own observations. Maybe this is why the game is designed about the first mosh pit is the win or lose strategy they imply? Idk, not enough data on this to give any real answer.
I would like stormcast to get some interesting objective capitalization concepts other armies cant do. But I expect it being about stopping power and making the mosh pit less risky for them.

It is my belief that every stormcast should have at least one damage 2 weapon. Also they are literally demigods, they are Beyond standard Infantry. But then again, I'm all about the lore.
I agree with feeling how the lore should impact the design. I personally think 1 damage is alright, but as you say they don't feel like standard infantry, but they cant have every tool at their disposal. If they added equipment one day like 40k this would be a different.
AOS design is to keep the utility focused around picking a specific unit to do a niche instead of using a generalized unit and upgrading them. I think the idea should be explored ( not experiment release) but not at all like 40k, it needs to be new and fresh if my interest is wanted.

Which makes me quite happy. I just built 30 of the guys today.
Hunters are under-appreciated for their sculpts and allows some movement for making action poses fairly easy to do, which is great to see. I've done a lot of kitbashes and conversions with their parts on many non stormcast projects. Sure it can be busy to look at, but you could remove stuff and its not too glaring.

With a bit more time behind us, what do you guys think of the system? I'm hoping to start a PTG campaign soon and I'm wondering if there's anything we should look out for, or any important homebrew rules?
I have a hard time explaining it, but my personal tests with the system was not enough time to understand how to make improvements myself, but its just okay I feel. I just think they needed more time making this feel like a campaign than a fairly barren system with too many words and little impact. I feel if you are someone who wants to build off this system, this is exactly what I'm doing, so far its hard but I'm getting somewhere. But if you use this exactly as intended, it leaves a lot to be desired for narrative fun.

Yeah that's how I've been playing it, just feels weird. I like that arcane bolt is now a lot better for combat wizards, but it's funny how a Stormcast wizard that specialises in shooting arcane bolts doesn't get any bonuses for being in combat range.
Yeah I agree, a lot of odd/off role purposes they intended and it cascades from there. Summarizes 3.0 in my recent game especially.

They need to at least update the FAQs to give us something. Since the release of 3.0 and the initial battletome teasers, we have had 40k orks, grey knight and thousand sons new codexs/models all revealed and released, as well as killteams reveal and release, all while drip feeding information about the upcoming AoS content. It's left a bad taste in the communities mouth and killed most of the hype surrounding these releases; while it can be grating to see so many people complaining on what is essentially the general chat thread of this forum, it is also a Windows into the general feelings of the community.
People want GW be honest and open, don't stealth edit posts and hope no one notices, just be up front about it. People will be annoyed either way, but now they feel deceived as well as annoyed. Plus, at least in my meta, People want FAQs so that KO can be played properly again and acknowledgement that GW is aware of the Godhammer issue in competitive play. I feel the godhammer issue, lack of updated FAQs, deceptive marketing and overly drawn out release schedule are legitimate issues for the community to have and express.
Notice how little is said now in this thread compared to before. speaks loud enough of the outcome these points essentially.

Hello fellow lambs of chaos, would anyone here be interested in me posting here on TGA for a future beasts of chaos 3.0 ruleset?
Similar in design to my other postings to be compatible with 3.0 core rules and have multiple functions. Any and all feedback welcomed as normal. I likely will need a few weeks of R&D, however.

Really disappointed to hear about these delays. I've been waiting since Dominion release to start painting my miniatures, and each delay is more time that I won't get to start playing at my local GS. My hype is definitely dying down and has been since we started getting all of the filler articles on WarCom.
Might I suggest looking at this if you are interested? feel free to use it as you wish and modify it. Any critique and comments about it are welcome, even if you hate it more than Vanguard Hunters. Not a replacement, just a WIP open for opinions.

It kinda feels that GW can be either focused on AoS or 40k, they just can't keep the balance well enough between them. Or may be that's the point, to move the centre of hype between them.
Their loss, interest will pick up to the community and maybe someone makes something

Returning to the ostensible point of the thread, I wanted to know if anyone has tried to look through the Corebook to see if any potential shift in lore is mentioned for the Chaos factions, anything pointing to the one army getting the release later this year.
From my observations, I cannot speculate that much because its mostly the current information to get people caught up or interested at a starting point. Not much specific details I could mention

Another thing I'll mention. We need changes here on this thread because this always goes round to some extent daily and I'm sure the mods are tired of babysitting this thread like a day job.
- We have the news thread, lets go use it and stop using this as general chat. I suggest renaming this to that is a first step to something.
- Mods I ask out of desire to contribute creatively and constructively and allow others to freely do so here without worrying about the negativity. Where can we go from here to make it easier on you as people to manage this because the current system is not working and brings us to the boiling point as many have mentioned today.

The "Stealth Edit" is more GW just updating graphics and media and information so that they don't get legions of questions about it. I do agree a "sorry its not coming this week" would have been nice, but in the end we know what's happening next week and we can see that the schedule graphic has been updated.
That isn't insulting us - its informing us.
Perhaps not in the best way but it is. As for GW slipping dates - its Corona and all related aspects. Global trade is a nightmare right now; shipping anywhere is a pain and there are so many moving parts that one little slip can cause a cascade of delays. Not to mention GW is trying (best they can) to do global launches not just launches in one country. IT might be everything in the UK end is fine, but at the USA there's a shipping delay or such.
In the end content IS coming. Heck don't forget last year 40K 9th edition landed right in the thick of things and still spent several months without their codex either. Actually I think they came in October
I think people are mostly over the delays and have understood its part of life until changes come after Covid-19 is "under control".
Its become about exactly what they don't say. We can take the rough news, because its news and informs us, its when you are not informed about quite literally anything until the last possible minute can come on to some as highly questionable and controversial.
This leads to the constant speculation and doubt everyone currently experiences to some level especially here on this thread. We all know how its turning out right now, I dont need to talk about the effects it has had on the community, but they are here and now. Question is now how to deal with this mess ourselves and be productive and not destructive.

It makes them look scummy ( which it seems they are) and makes them look stupid ( which maybe they are?) It boggles the mind frankly.
Does it boggle you like mentioning Swamp Bogglars over Kruleboyz?

Hate to sound like a downer, but the hype is wearing down for me. I'm still interested in making a Kruleboyz army but it's shifted down a gear.
Check out my post below if you are interested in my own rules design if you have the models or at least bases this is all you need for 3.0, I would not say it a better GW alternative or to any other community post. But I suggest such as an alternative, despite it a work in progress. I encourage any feedback even if they hate it more than anything in their life lol.

If anyone is interest in creating something together and to make your own mark on warhammer creatively and open to the community just send me a private message about anything about this and we can go from there. This is purely community collaboration and out of free time to post here on TGA as individuals.
Shout out to the mods if they are interested in making it official here to post as a public category anyone can use and post their own ideas to share if they wish.

This is exactly what makes them simple to get into at any level of experience, sure its not a lot of variety, but you get most of the range and that's exactly why I love it ( poor variety compared to other armies)
However many start collecting boxes you require they shall all serve you well, Maybe just one or two max for the Mortvane box because 3 or more Archregants wont really see much play starting into them.
If you don't want the resin Varghulf, its not terrible with converting bits from the flayer/horror and terrorgeist's bits from the start collecting box in a pinch, but its a start to making it look better for you.
