  1. Combat Patrol is just a slimmed down version of 40k. Same rules, but units are dumbed down somewhat. The faction ability are somewhat different as well. Overall its fine and it works pretty well in teaching new players how to play and games last about an hour. Combat Patrol is crazy unbalanced tho and I don't remember when GW was showing it off if they pushed it the same way they are doing with AoS version.
  2. Most likely they will just steal the mission deck from 40k. Give players options to go in with static missions or believe in the heart of the cards. But pretty sure most options would be better then battle tactics. Outside of spells it seems like everything else revealed has been 10ed rules, which is not a bad thing.
  3. I hope so, but I am still thinking they will stick to making sure there is 0 cross play between the games. They just did it to 40k and 30k, so I figure it will be the same thing here. It is stupid and will be really hard to do, but you know GW going to GW lol. As a Cities player who got into the faction for the mix race stuff I just wish they end my suffering when 4th comes out and do something like this lol.
  4. Dark Elves most likely getting their own faction in Age of Sigmar along with Chaos Dwarfs. Old World pretty much gave us all we needed to know about the future of both games and which armies will end up where. so prepare accordingly. Figure the 4th ed release will do a lot of trimming. My money is on dwarf leaving Cities there. Or course these are all rumors and GW could change their mind on keeping all the game separate................ Of course 30k and 40k point that they are trying to make sure nothing can be used between games.
  5. I often found that horde armies had way better ways to ignore those rules then the elite armies. I play LRL and Stormcast and get destroyed by having to take several battleshock test a turn................ but I have always had bad luck lol.
  6. Then you get stuff like the death factions that had crazy high bravery and pretty much allowed them to ignore those checks. It was a mechanic that only hurt a select few factions.
  7. Oh it was very impactful to me. I can't tell you the number of games that I lost because had to do a battle shock test for like one guy dead and then roll like a 11 lol. Glad it is gone
  8. I do wonder how much that double turn penalty matters? Maybe they are trying to make it an all or nothing move where if you take the double turn you better destroy the other player or you will lose on points??????
  9. Really 10ed 40k feels like they stole a huge chunk of AoS and I sort of hope GW does it again lol. I like 10ed a lot. 40k cut a lot of everything from the game to make a lot simpler, quicker, and easier to play. Some fans how found it to have lost a lot of its personalty in their factions. Game play wise it was a bit of a mix bag. Seems like they had different teams working on different books so some factions were just insane and took 5 to 6 nurfs to get them in line with other factions. Other factions were trash and got much needed buffs. Overall I have been pretty happy with GW and balance. Really hope they get rid of bravery checks and use the OC system in 40k.......... Tired of losing half my army to those checks lol.
  10. Ya all rumors point to a hard separation between Old World and AoS. Really seems like the first big sign either way is if Dwarfs stays in Cities or not. And with the Dwarfs release for Old World and 4.0 right there we should start getting answers soonish.
  11. I think it also depends on the army and players. I play LRL and not getting spells off then getting hit by a double turn can pretty much table me top of turn 2. My friends and I also play pretty aggressive and we usually bet everything on getting a double turn lol. I do wonder how bad GW will punish the double turn? Will it be just a slap on the wrist? Or is this GW way of killing it without having to remove it from the game lol???
  12. As expected the game will steal a lot from 40k 10ed............. which is funny since 10ed stole a lot from AoS lol. Sticking all heroes 3 inches instead of putting them into the units should be interesting. Seems like the spell phase will also be spread out just like everyone other game as well. Sounds like it will go 40k with everything having 1 special rule. Going with the mission deck approach which I think is a huge upgrade. Small combat patrol games which is nice way to teach people how to play Complete rework just like 40k. Prepared for crazy imbalance lol!
  13. I will also be trying to pick up two boxes tonight so good luck o7 As for the kroot detach I think you will still need to run at least some Tau to handle the tanks and other big things, but they do have some play.
  14. Throw in the last big rumor about how each game division fight with each other over profits and how GW wants to make sure that no faction can be used with two different games. Will be interesting to see what happens with Dwarfs in both Cities and ToW since they both use the same units. My guess they are pulled from AoS when 4.0 hits, but who knows lol!
  15. Lol oh wow that is pretty much the look for all the major parts of the faction, but it was also a warning that we all missed. No CoS dwarfs or no elves lol..................................................
  16. My money is also on the 4th edition reveal at Adepticon. Tau was the big thing last time and they have revealed all the units and the rumors for the other 40k factions are just new single models. I guess maybe the Imperial Agents book/box rumors? They will have to start pushing 4th soon and they need a big event for it so it seems like the best option?
  17. The fact that they have never done humans in Tau is just so lazy and wierd. Like they have all the pieces lol. As for the Vespids the rumors were that they were getting a killteam so that's better then nothing!!
  18. It is a very different list from the other two Bret options and has a good amount of unique units that are good. Not really sure if the TK book does the same as well Also find it very suspicious that the new Cities stuff are all good proxies for the exiles units.............
  19. Old World sort of showed us the future of each race. Normal dwarfs will get pulled and stay in TOW as a major faction. Sucks, but at least Chaos Dwarfs are coming so that is 3 factions of Dwarfs in AoS Dark Elves will most likely be getting their own faction in AoS. Lore wise they are already set up to break away from Cities and are not getting any support in TOW
  20. I am gonna go with as long as the model is not another space marine its a good model. Sure they are a little boring, but its still a cool model that did not really need any changes. Also lets not forget this thing exists. Easily top pick for worse and somehow most boring model I have seen in a long time................ what is that belt feeding on a missile gun lol!!
  21. So with them doing more kroot reveals like this it's a safe bet that adepticon's big thing should be 4th.
  22. Think that The Old World sort of gave us a pretty good road map of the future of both itself and AoS. We pretty much can guess what the future holds for both games with what factions will get removed or added. Crazy to think that we know what is coming for both games for the next couple of years. Unless GW decides to change their mind which I hope is the case!
  23. New to Old World so I have been making some cheat sheets and cards for my group. Not the best job, but better then nothing lol? Did not do Orc spells, but these forms can be filled out. Signature.pdf Spell 1.pdf Spell 2.pdf Spell 3.pdf Spell 4.pdf Spell 5.pdf Spell 6.pdf Cheat Sheet Weapons.pdf
  24. They will most likely do a repeat of FEC with the Tau when they release half the faction early. Like other people have said the Kroot box could be out sometime February, but the official release could be deep into March. Pretty smart to split up everything so more people can afford those crazy prices. Can't speak for orks or custodes, but the Tau changes are close to a non factor in most list.
  25. Ya not sure why they are not. Really seems like the best balance option for them....... feel sorry for those who got more then one.
