Every endless spell I own except sylvaneth came from eBay, the terrarium supply shelf at a pet store, a 3d printer, or I literally built it out of craft foam and steampunk jewelry gears. kitbash for life.

That seems like a reasonable guess to me. I do like that each rule is looking more like a trigger effect rather than a hard and fast rule, with its different versions possible across different warscrolls.

Also looks like we have more universal weapon rules to add: Anti-[keyword] (effect) Charge (effect) Crit (effect)

I was worried but I’m surprisingly here for these updates. my Ogors really love countercharges and power through (assuming we keep some sort of impact rule)

They will always live in my heart or… unlive? they will always shamble in my heart

Radukar’s Court is on last chance and my Vyrkos heart breaks i shall snort my hopium and say they’ll get individual releases and I can reinforce Kosargi again, this time as special Vyrkos Battleline

MW on wound MW on hit Exploding hits Auto wound hits Fight first Fight last Designate choice between alternate profiles for same weapon (like hail shot vs cannon shot) (these are guesses)

I know this might come off as semantics, but that’s not NPE. NPE would be if the player had no agency at all. The negative is lack of engagement, not bad-feeling engagement. while it might feel like they killed their own unit, simultaneously, if they pick otherwise, they get to feel like they “beat death”

I was thinking turning hand of dust into a rampage was really wild at first, but then I thought about it and… I think it’s really more of a nuclear deterrent to dissuade you from charging him with monsters and heroes than something you’ll likely see used offensively. Risk/reward play. I like the design, honestly

I have no real complaints other than aesthetics, and any confusion about the rules will definitely be cleared up with the actual rules revealed. Whatever my hesitation in loving it is, I can’t deny they are overall intuitive and relatively easy to read.

I am okay with this potential change. A little worried about my Ogor gluttons paired vs iron fists but like… if the overall warscroll is good I’ll manage.

That’s so weird, mine looks like this

Okay so to recap and add some opinions: Stats being reworked to make narrative. (I dig it.) Wounds are now “health” Miniatures have 3” combat range to speed up engagement and pile ins Objectives are now 40mm markers contested within 3” (so 40K/30k ok fine) Universal special rules No more Battleshock Command abilities powerful, command points have economy (i hope this isn’t 1/turn like 40K) Everything is an ability with declaration and effect (and implied reaction). Timing is color coded and written out, with symbols (??) Modular system includes mention of playing options without magic, battlepacks, or GHB Free downloadable index at release (we knew this)

Within minutes of that dropping my 30k discord pinged me “is this you?! Are you getting a thing?!” Cause I play mechanicum there. They were so hyped for me. It was seeet. Unfortunately it’s almost definitely necromunda.

I believe we’ll definitely get updates well before then. That looks like a semi-closed soft release prior to the major release, where players and reviewers/streamers will get an opportunity to look at and “report back” for publicity and pre release hype.

1- even GW can learn a lesson once in a decade 2- the AoS rules team has (in my experience, limited) always been very passionate about their rules being AoS rules not “fantasy version of 40K” 3- it sounds like they’re focusing on player engagement and action through the game. 40k’s hype was about all purpose simplification 4- by the sound of it, our “indexes” are going to be much more fleshed out than 10e’s were i remain cautiously, hesitantly optimistic

edit: quoted the wrong post updated text, sorry My take on that, though, is that AoS is already much closer to 40K list building in 10th than previous: we select a unit, decide their gear loadout, add to list. We currently don’t even have to worry about unit champion equipment (they just get bonuses usually) or joining with heroes and “leader” rules. We’re already designed for that. 40K wasn’t, and it showed: when a particular gear loadout proves way stronger than others, AoS made an individual warscroll with different points and modified rules; 40K increased points on the gear, then decided to make gear free. That curveball literally cannot happen to AoS and I am being cautiously, hesitantly optimistic about this.

I know it’s not AoS but as someone who plays mechanicum in HH I am freaking tf out rn and I need someone to scream in static arcana with me

You don’t have to be a nerd to play Warhammer, just at least a little autistic. i say this as someone who has more than a little touch of the tism myself

That definitely seems to be the way they’re running it from what I’ve seen.

Just throwing the additional lore tidbit: Stormcast Brass are 100% lying to the troops on a daily basis already. source: Thunderbellies Ogors eating the Lightning Meat, and missing SCE back in Azyr after their battles conclude. Denied by command, but they never come back.

“Aw gee Bastian, maybe reforging the souls of dead warriors into new automaton bodies over and over was a bad idea” “Brrrraaappp stfu Valdus and get in the lightning pod”

Wasn’t there a blurb forever ago that the silent people viewed Nagash as a messianic figure?

I know I have virtually no reliability stonks, and maybe it’s only confirmation of what we already knew, but one of my best friends is in charge of GW ordering for our FLGS, and when they were putting in this week’s order to the GW rep, they said he told them “4e is coming out this summer and you should stock up on certain boxes. There’s stuff that’s going to be sold out soon and in high demand.” And they didn’t give me specifics on which models, but they did say they ended up ordering vanguards for every faction. If we can interpret that as “what’s in vanguards will be really good” vs “the new edition will have people starting new armies” vs [just sales pitch to get more sales] is anyone’s guess. It may be nothing more than second hand insider confirmation.

Clearly phyrexians are invading the warhammer plane
