    previous editions didn't have streamlined warscrolls and USRs though, I could see AOS moving to trying out adding/removing USRs for units to rebalance their role(s) and/or efficiency

    looking at the new Vindictor scroll again, they may not change up the "Ability" section, but the bottom of the wscroll has two sets of keywords: one of which looks like more universals that set the abilities and role of a unit. they could add "Ward" like how Nagash has on his wscroll. I was wondering why such important rules like Fly and War would be all the way at the bottom--maybe it IS for bigger rebalancing??

    People thought the same about USR's in 40k and instead of taking away or giving a unit an USR they decided to completely rewrite how certain rules work, I'm hopeful that won't happen again but I'm keeping my expectations temepred.

    Some GW stores also build a local community and host events throughout the year. I know every Saturday my store has a line for Preorders and delivery pickups. 

    so I am surprise some people never seen  customers actually buying from GW

    In my country there are only two official stores and in every larger city there already probably exists a store or a couple with thriving communities, the discount is usually the only option there is anyway, even if someone would want to pay full price for some godforsaken reason. Also I feel like often people are dragged into the hobby by other, more experienced people that would probably know about the 3rd party discount.

    IJ, FEC, and Slaves are questionable since they got full or big releases during Dawnbringers.

    of course they maybe smaller releases like NH and Sylvaneth from last edition but just more then one hero (honestly I think NH stuff where actually Soul wars leftovers) 

    It wouldn't surprise me if Ironjawz and FEC got the Sylvaneth/Nighthaunt treatment. FEC could use even another larger wave with refreshes for Knight units and their monsters (I hope for a Terrorgheist/Morbheg dual kit). IJ could use some range if they're getting wholly seperated from Kruleboyz, perhaps a catapult could fit them, or some kind of javelin throwers unit. 99120103072_ORKSKillRigHuntaRigLeadAlt.jpg.325219050b468a39a9a83ddb4c47592d.jpg

    Imagine this pulled by a big pig with a catapult in the back.

    While I love painting mini's, painting mini's will never become mainstream.

    It will be a niche for eternity.😉 

    With the trajectory of how D&D is heading, it already kind of is? Well, not on the scale of army painting but we're heading there.

  5. I just finished the Fallout show yesterday and it was so good that it filled me with a lot of hope for the Warhammer shows. I wouldn't mind them doing a adaptation of existing stories as there is a certain series I could see lending very well to that idea (Gotrek and Felix) but I'm assuming we'll see a 40k show first, from which I hope they would maybe take some inspiration from ASTARTES, make it very self contained and really show the weirdness of the unvierse. I'd also like to see a high budget animated show in the vein of Invincible coming from 40k, maybe more xenos focused. The warhammer+ shows are of questionable quality, not to be critical of the animators themselves as I'm assuming they didn't have a lot of resources to work with. Otherwise I'm very hopeful of what will come from this collaboration.

    He'll get a 3rd edition warscroll, as he'll be released next month. GW has no history of updating legends warscrolls.

    Because of changes to bravery and other mechanics, all 3rd edition legends warscrolls will automatically become invalid at the turn of the edition. Therefore Grombrindal will automatically become invalid at 4th edition.

    That's not quite true. While legends warscrolls haven't been updated for 3rd edition, they were still usable in the 3rd edition ruleset and technically didn't need an update even if they were horrible. And, they did update legends datasheets for 10th edition 40k, at least quite a lot of them.

    My point is that it would have been far cooler for him to have been a permanent part of the range - a la gotrek. Such a cool model, and would have loved to have seen him on the table regularly.

    True, It would be cool if he stayed a permanent addition.

    Done with the kits count (doesn't includes stuff going out from the Warcom post).

    It is surprising how many kits from WHFB we still have around. I doubt we will get rid of all of them in this ed:

    Wait what 7 kits for ogors are from AoS, I can only think of 4.

  9. Honestly I'm just happy that magic is still a thing in the game. Removing psychic was a huge blow for me when 10th edition came around and I don't even play one of the factions that got most affected by it (I play Aeldari). I was really uninterested in playing the game for a long time and only recently started playing more often again. And the changes to magic look really fun! I like that you choose a spell lore that every wizard knows and and it's interesting that unbinding now can use up one of your casts as well. The prayers are really confusing and I hope they get cleared up more when we get the full rules. My only gripe is that I think moving magic to the phase that it affects would be nicer, but I get keeping it in one phase for simplicity, since we already got rid of the morale phase anyway.

    Then the castellite formation makes no sense at all. I don't agree with you here.

    Winding down shooting in the scope of the entire game doesn't mean there won't be playstyles and factions that heavily rely on it. It will make their presence even more unique and will offer a different tactical challenge in a game imo

    But it isn't the medusa and in the fluff text they are speaking about the scath touch. Which isn't a gaze. Or am I missing somethin?

    Yes it is about the touch, but if a normal human is the size of a kroxigor's leg, it will be much easier to turn them into crystal than a kroxigor.

    I also find the Blood Sisters Crystal touch a bit strange. It basically means that aelves, humans will always strike last as they probably have 1 or 2 wounds. But bigger and slower things will be less bothered by it. Which imo should be more easy to hit than nimble Aelves.

    The ability makes the enemy unit in-universe into crystal. Big things are harder to turn into crystal, because their bodies are too big.

     

    For example: A small person will get drunk more easily than a big person, because the alcohol if circulating faster through their body.

    I would love next weeks mini to be a Rat Ogre. 

    The 6th Edition Rat Ogres are still the pinnacle for me and are what made me collect a small Skaven army in WHFB. 7th Edition? What a downgrade!!

    Wait you mean to say they actually used to look cool? I've never seen these models these are cool as hell.

    What Is the Meaning of the Berserk Symbol?

    Stance even reminds me of Mr. cardboard-cutoutcast / bookcast.

    Feels like a solid nod to me.

    I just really hope that Sigmar doesn't have romantic partner, if we're going with the berserk inspiration.

    I don't really understand these Armored Troggoth rumors. Not saying they're wrong, but why would they design a second Troggoth unit that's all about being tough? Rockguts are already the "tough stone skin Troggoth" archetype. Unless it's a totally different kind of troggoth that just happens to wear some armor.

    They were in a short story. Since they were carrying around Skragrotts throne, maybe there's 2 of them in a unit, with size in between of Rockguts and Dankholds, Sourbreath troggoths with Armor (3+ save perhaps)

    Edit: Also bodyguard unit maybe for squishy foot heroes?

  16. I was really hoping to see Gunnar Brand and his family going up next week, so I could better restrain myself from indulging in the entire big box and just buy the character minis. I guess I'm gonna have to exercise more restraint next saturday.
