  1. Hi all, Just looking for clarity regarding ward saves as the language in the core rules - imo - is not very clear. For example: 1) Are you able to use a ward save in addition to a regular save (e.g. roll 5+ regular and then roll 4+ ward); or, 2) Are ward saves only to be used in situations where your modified save role is worse than your ward save (e.g. 4+ regular, attacker causes wound with -3 rend, therefore use 4+ ward). Additionally, do you apply ward saves in the same way as a regular save (i.e. per wound) or based on the damage profile of a weapon (e.g. attacker wounds with weapon that causes 2 damage, ward roll for each damage caused). Thank you
  2. Say there is a points increase for Sentinels; what would be the alternative choice? I tried just taking 10 Sentinels once just do see what it was like and I got absolutely demolished. I also tried to substitute with starshard's as well and they didn't really make much of an impact. Mind you I am saying all this as a casual player and my strategy may not be all that savvy.
  3. What do you think they will do? Based on the complaints, people prefer a points hike. However, if you increase the points their output won’t be all that great.
  4. What is everyone's opinion on Sentinels? I usually have AOS stuff on youtube in the background when I paint and I continually see people complain about them being broken (no LOS/30" range, 5+/6+ MW). I am relatively new to AOS, but I find that when I don't field a lot of Sentinels, I get wrecked immediately.
  5. Yeah I store them in my house and they are at room temperature, but I do prime them in my garage. I am going to try what you said and I really appreciate the advice. If it fails then from now on in I'm just going to prime these stormcast guys black and just paint retributor armour on. Maybe I am just really unlucky and got back-to-back bad spray cans because all my other primers in the same conditions work perfectly fine.
  6. I haven't tried putting it in warm water yet (a GW employee advised against it), but honestly if I want to use it as a spray I don't have any more options. I just find it weird that both sprays I bought do this colour but the one I had in 2018 was fine...starting to wonder if they changed the mixture or something?
  7. Hi all, Does anyone else have issues with Retributor Armour spray? I've done everything the interwebs has suggested, even asked some GW employees for advice and no matter what the colour comes out this weird brownish gold colour with sparkles. Initially I thought it was just my spray can because the models sprayed from my previous can came out amazing (this was around 2018), but the can I bought after just to make sure produced the same results. I am thinking of just priming my models black and just painting retributor armour on from now on.
  8. Not going to lie, the animation from the latest episode of Hammer and Bolter (A Question of Faith) looked like it was straight from Ebaum's World).
  9. I'm actually struggling painting the lumineth realm lords. There is so much trim, hard to reach detail, and parts that should be glued on after painted - it really sucks the fun out of painting when you have a bunch to finish. Don't get me wrong, the end product looks great, but at the end of the day the detail is sort of irrelevant when put on the board.
  10. What is everyone's opinion of Stormstrike Chariots? I am struggling with understanding how they fit into a conventional list given their weird point value.
  11. Who do you usually play against? Mind you, I am relatively new at AOS so chances are I am probably playing them incorrectly.
  12. Taking a break from LRL rn. Anyone finding their Wardens useless rn? Also, the amount of difficult to reach places and gold trim is killing my soul.
  13. Correct me if I am wrong but it should be that if I pay for the app, I don't pay for the battletomes. If I buy the battletomes, I technically don't need to get the app. When you no longer pay for the subscription, you lose access to the battletome information...I don't see the issue here nor the need to double gouge. I am trying to be optimistic here, but as a new player I feel like GW is charging me left, right, and centre for things that should be free. You are charging for miniatures; charging for rules seems so...backwards?
  14. This may be the wrong thread to ask, but for vanari units with wizards...i thought they could obtain a spell from the spell list in addition to the power of hysh? The app doesn't allow you to add a spell to the unit(s). Was I interpreting this wrong the entire time?
  15. I like collecting the battletomes, but bringing them to a game....lumineth realm lords battletome, Teclis Forgotten Realms, FAQ on cellphone, Rulebook...it adds up and sort of sours the experience.
  16. Is it less than if you were to buy each unit individually? If so, I'd say yes albeit the battletome/cards are outdated. Funny, I am looking to do the opposite of you - I have a Lumineth Army and found a Idoneth Deepkin Battleforce.
  17. Your message made me call the store again to re-confirm...Now it is an expected release around November. I concluded that they don't really know when it is coming.
  18. I pre-ordered from 401 Games (Canadian) last week. Expected delivery in September. Crazy excited because I loved Hero Quest as a kid.
  19. The whole discontinuance of Cursed City sort of put of damper on me actually playing the game. Does it have staying power or is it sort of a one and done sort of game? I only ask because I have friends to who want to try either Blackstone Fortress or Cursed City but have limited time. As such I sort of need to pick one over the other.
  20. I am so glad I'm not alone burning out on the ridiculous amount of gold trim required for these elves. What is even more cumbersome is the amount of areas each model has that is difficult to get to. If I ever have another army I'm going to pick one with the least amount of detail as possible.
  21. I am new to Age of Sigmar (only played three games so far), but in my experience, I'm not sure why there is even a point giving a shooting/dispel range on these boards...
