Can someone please say I've misunderstood the Guarded Hero rule. As I understand it:

Maybe the people who asked for GW honesty aren't the ones raging now? Edit: Also, you can both be upset about the range cuts and appreciate the GW honesty at the same time.

RIP BoC and Bonesplitters. To me, Bonesplitters was expected. And also BoC to some extent, although I would've really liked to see something Chaosbeastly replace them. Seeing the whole Sacrosanct range get removed is a huge surprise to me, considering that they're not that old. Good to see the bloated stormcast range get reduced, however. For me the most negative part of this news is what it could mean for Warcry. Maybe all warcry warbands moving forward will be directly linked to an AoS-faction with inherited specific aesthetics. Which to me is a bit sad because I liked that Warcry allowed for more creative freedom in the design of warbands.

But we don't know what the Regiments look like for each hero yet. Maybe the Snatachaboss on Sludgeraker will allow Swampcalla Shaman in the regiment. It's way too early to draw any sort of conclusion as to what this change might mean for certain armies.

I dislike the double turn mechanic but I can respect if other people like it. However, for the sake of discussion, here’s why I have issues with it. 1. I feel that it makes lower point games unplayable. I understand that lower point games will never be fully balanced, and I’m fine with that. But losing or winning 90% of the time due to one dice roll is simply a terrible design. 2. It is very punishing for new players. In my experience the DT is the number one complaint from new players, and from people who tried AoS but quit. 3. I think it messes with the verisimilitude and immersion of the game. In a real battle both armies would of course act simultaneously, but this is hard to mimic in a tabletop game. But alternating turns does a better job, in my opinion. Having one army just allowing the other one to do twice as much in the same time just feels off to me. One argument for DT that I see is very interesting. Its that competive and frequent players generally like the DT when asked. But to me that is obvious, why else would they play it so much? The people who dislike the rule have most likely moved on to other games, so of course they would be a minority at tournaments etc. The interesting question is then, which players should GW cater to? Should they try and make the current most active players enjoy the game more, or should they try and make the game more attractive to players that don’t currently play AoS (or play a little)? I think removing the DT would attract more players to AoS. But maybe that’s not only a good thing.

This is very interesting! What about different warscrolls that are basically the same but with different weapons? Like liberators/vindictors.

Finished up my small start to a slow grow Stormcast army. Pretty happy with the colour scheme overall. Will continue to add additional models over time.

I’m all for Goats of War!

I’m thinking of doing exactly this!

My favourite is Battleshock Wargaming too! Season of War is great quality obviously, but for me personally I find it a bit too edited with the voice over and special effects and whatnot. Their 40k vids are more my flavour.

My army from WHFB days was Dark Elves. I like them for many reasons: I'm a big fan of Elves in most fantasy settings. I'm a fan of the more evil factions. I like intelligent and clever factions. I'm a huge fan of the asthetics, especially the art from the 6th ed rulebook grabbed me. I like big blocks of infantry and an organised mixed arms military force. For AoS I don't feel like there's a good Dark Elves alternative at the moment. DoK are just the witch elf stuff that I wasn't a huge fan of. The rest of the Dark Elves range is stuck in CoS, and that doesn't feel right to me. Eventually I started collecting Kruleboyz because I like the asthetic and the playstyle appealed to me. But they don't feel 100% right, even though they do tick some of my boxes (Evil, clever, mixed arms).

In my personal opinion, I hope we get an index. Increases the likelihood of USR, and other big changes that I would like to see.

I'm gonna refresh my Dark Elves for tOW. I have a whole bunch of "new" plastic models, Spearmen, Crossbows, Black Guard, Cold One Knight, Black dragon, Sorc, that are mostly painted but would need baseconverters or rebasing. Then I have a solid amount of old metal models: Corsairs, Executioneers, Shades, Bolt Throwers, Dreadlord, Assassin. These would need to be stripped and repainted because they were painted when I was young and the quality is quite poor. I'm also looking at adding a few models, like: Cold One Chariot, Dark Riders. Have some other projects that I'm working on that I would like to finish first (Terrain, Necrons, Gobsprakk), but soon the Dark Elves project will start! That will then be my main and only army for tOW. But a future High Elves release might change things, hehe.

(Apologies for going off-topic) Maybe it's just me, but the way you format your text makes it almost impossible to read.
