  1. Not a lot comment here about V3. I don't want to go into details about the new rules. There are too much changes and I guess nobody tested it enough.

    But on a general first impression : which unit / hero / nation / spell will benefit of the new mechanisms? Which one are downgraded?

    I'll try to quickly answer with what I've seen. Feel free to disagree or add :

    :(

    • Alarith / stoneguard because of the loss of the bataillon
    • Hurakan / windcharger because of the loss of the bataillon
    • Hurakan spirit compared to Sevireth because he is not a hero (Sevi +50 cost was already worth it)
    • Syar (just a bit) because you cannot use anymore the CA twice per phase (so no more 3 aetherquartz)
    • Shrine because it can be destroyed by monsters (we need to be careful when setting it up)
    • Loreseeker because he cannot get 2+ save with reroll if 1 (less survability I presume)

    :)

    • Every hero/monster obviously. Maybe Teclis cost will be raised like Nagash/Alarielle?
    • Illyatha for their native ability to double CA without paying any CP
    • Sentinels because of the so powerful CA to counter charge

    In situations where the two sentences are related, then it has to say something like "in that way" or "that unit". Sevireth "Living Cyclone" is an example of that.

    Yes you are right. There are some examples where there are multiple rules in one ability. But as you said there are using words like « moreover ». Maybe I’m wrong for the loreseeker. We’ll see.

    If you run a loreseeker, I would deploy the shrine where you expect to use the loreseeker, so he can benefit from the re-roll casting/unbinding

    It means you have to setup the shrine in your territory with 12’ of the loreseeker who will be in ennemy territory so don’t apply to any scenario.  But why not! I guess I’ll keep it on my side to send Total Eclipse or stabilize other spells. But thanks for your input. We are agree it don’t worth to garrison it.

    Because you have some experience regardless that it is limited, would you say that severith was worth the 300 points to be included in a list

    Very limited experience as you said. May be other players will have different point of view. But I’ll surely use it again. Because he handled more than 450 points on his own.

  3. Has anyone played enough game with shrine to discuss about it? I used it 3 times and I don't know what to think about it.

    I'm not sure it worth to keep a guardian. Ok, re-rolling 1 for sentinels is valuable but it was almost the only impact my guardian had on the game because he was too far from action.

    On some scenario we can set it at 6' from set-up zone (still in our territory) so in that case the hero will be quite close to fights, but I think it is very hard to protect him then.

    I think next time I'll just put one hero inside T1 to benefit of free CA on sentinels, and large re-roll for cast on T2 and will move him out of garrisoning on T2. What do you think?

    Well many have not seen severith or the lesser fox played yet (my self included).

    I only used Sevireth once and I was really happy about what he did. Indeed he don't have a huge damage output on it's own. But during the whole game he totally blocked 2 units of 3 Kurnots (killed some), killed an arch-revenant and destroyed a wyldwood. But indeed he will not take objectives very well. 

  5. Thank you very much @Yondaime
    We are still testing AOS and our new armies so he'll go more casual. I know he like having a lot of ships with max people inside (I think it is maybe normal KO deployment).

    I don't have Teclis so I'll have to find other way to protect my Lulu. We are going to play with 1500pts.

    Thank you very much for your advices. I'll try to work on a list and let you know.

  6. About Lone agent rule I really can't believe what I read ;) I need to review all the warscrolls to see if I can extract a sentence out of his context and use it as separate rule :)

     Anyway : any help please for a fight agains KO! I think I have no chance but if you have some advice please shout.

    Do I go first or second?

    Do I use shining company to give him -1 or try to do some long corded unit to protect my heroes?

    Did you try Loreseeker with geminid to give him -1 or is it just 160pts away on T1?

    Is Alumnia to take objectives early is a good option (and run+charge)? Or simply syar to try surviving on T1/T2?

    Thanks!

    If you set up this model within 6" of an objective that has no enemy units within 6" of it, you gain control of that objective, and your opponent cannot gain control of it while this model is within 6" of it.

    Yes but lone agent is about setting up the model at the first round. The part you are extracting is not a new paragraph. It’s in the same paragraph so this is one and only one rule.

    Have you seen the stormcast range....

    You are right but Lumineth is not the new Stormcast. Only Stormcast benefit of such care from GW. This is Stormcast again who will be in new V3. I think they have plenty BG to update before releasing new Lulu wave 😉

  8. Guys I think you are dreaming. 😉They will never  add Tyrion, the river and zenith temple (with heavy cavalry, chariot, eagles, Phoenix, helberds and new heroes and units) into the already huge set of units we have. I hope I’m wrong. But I really think they will do either splitting with 2 separate BT like Morathi/Malerion or make the lore making him ally with Malerion.

    I mean  his Lone Agent ability work?:)

    Yes, since the loreseaker warscroll state that it controls the objective when he is deployed on it, and the teleport is a deploy spell 

    Nope and nope. 😅 the lone agent rule begins with « instead of setting this model... if you do it at the beginning of the first round... ». You take the objective only using the lone agent rule. Not otherwise! (Sorry J only have the French version so don’t know the exact term. But it is pretty clear.

    About the redeploy yes, but i just hate the fact that our good spells have a insane high cast, so the twinstone are a tax

    Yes you are right. We are lucky it is only 30. But 8 is not so high with Zaitrec or 1/2 aetherquartz or reroll from the shrine or from Helon ability, or with deep thinker.

    Sure ill' be happy to share

    Did you test adding the windmage in such list? I really think it is super strong with stoneguards for the TP spell.

    keeeping the stoneguard wholly 12 from avalenor

    Please note that Avalenor ability is not an aura of protection but a malus given to ennemies. So this is opponent model that must be within 12". It doesn't work against shooting or if your stoneguards are at the edge of the bubble ;)

    Guys what changed about sephireth -2 pile in rules. It looks = to pre faq rule :(

    The rule as it is now is less confusing. I don’t have my BT now but approximatively before it was « -2 if you are in the 3 inches » (which was very confusing if you was not at the beginning of the phase and you enter in the 3, literally meaning you should change from 3 to 1 in the same phase 😀). And now it’s « when you start the pile-in in the 3 inches ». 
    This is more explicit like that

    Look out Sir, Sanctum of Amyntok and his rule Purest Aetherquartz stacked for a -3 to hit.

    Thanks for the feedback. I’playing against KO next week. So I just hope my opponent will do such mistake to target my -2/-3 to hit hero. But he won’t 😅

    Any advice please let me know? I don’t know yet if I rather go syar and let him start to deploy against TP. Or take Alumnia and just go straight to block him in his side. 
    how was Sevireth? What did you do with him? I’m just afraid he is not good against shooting army and will just be killed T1, no?

    I've been considering the option of putting a Windmage with Guiding Flurries on the Shrine with Sentinels nearby.  With a 16" move he can still play a role later in the game if needs be.  The Cathallar can then move forward with Wardens or Bladelords.  What do you think?

    Not really unfortunately. Because you cannot escape from the shrine as a normal move. If you are garrisoning you can just go out setting up your hero a 6’ of the shrine instead of moving (no matter your move is).

    denying early ennemy alpha strike

    Which ennemy did you fight, and how did you deny alpha strike with the pre-move?

    23 hours ago, Mesi said:

    Just played a Tournament with the following list

    Very interesting feedback. I don't understand how the regent even with sanctum can tank a whole KO shooting phase :) and even so why the KO target the regent while he can probably alpha strike Teclis or Severith?
    The shrine setup rules are described in the BT on the left page : 1" from other terrains, 6" from objectives. During my games, it was not so great as it was quite far from the action. So leaving a cathalar was absolutely not an option.

    What is the greater foe that Tyrion is fighting?

     

    I was thinking as well he is fighting something related to Slaanesh with Malerion maybe. Malerion has a huge part in lumineth lore. And nothing has been announced/revealed for Malerion, as per Tyrion. So I was sadly thinking that maybe they can be in the same BT. I really thing we already have a huge BT in Lumineth and they will never add Tyrion and the tyrionic units. So maybe something about a corrupted Tyrion + Malerion and a new Umbraneth/Shadowneth faction! :D just speculation

    Out of interest, has anyone had a chance to play Alumnia yet? If so, what’re your thoughts on them?

    Yes I had a game 2 days ago against legion of Nagash. And I liked a lot this nation!! The extra move was great. I played no sentinel. Being able to move wardens to take quickly objectives without breaking shining company and just wait enemy charge is awesome (specially with the extra -1 to hit from Avalenor, thanks to the folk who advise me that). Being able to move the dawnriders of 42+3D6 is awesome.

    the game was pretty easy for me. But please note it was a 1000pts game. Maybe with more points it become difficult to keep the bubbles properly!

     

  17. Thank you for this very good advise. Even if ethereal+speed+shield look to be like every eggs 🥚 in the same cow 😉 I want to play Avalenor now

    so I'm happy sticking with Illiatha

    Can you make this nation exciting to me? Because as this it looks to be the only nation that I don’t want to try. +2bravery is quite useless with Cathallar, Calligrave and native bravery, no?

    Personally i found the loremaster to be incostitent, what if you got a mission with falling objective? also he is to much fragile

    Yes indeed with falling objective you’ll have an option down. But I think he is very good harassing the ennemy as well. It is a real headache for the opponent setup. He will always be able to set up near a fragile unit like artillery or hero and kill him before being killed. Moreover no player is happy to have such dude deployed in his flank/back. So will always loose 2 turns to attack him.

    Concerning the Shrine, none of your units (no Sentinels for example) where within 24 of the Shrine to use a casting/unbinding/dispelling roll? You couldn’t use any CA ability, like ignoring battleshock or re-rolling 1 for free? If so that’s likely the exception. 

    Because of the 6 objectives and the 3 skavens hole I had to set up in the angle 😒 T1 the wizards in the range had cast the spell easily. I used the reroll of 1 on sentinels. But T2 everyone was already to far 😅
