Well, first match done! I'm really not very convinced, skavens feel too much nerfed now that they can't shoot anything on combat and their gimmicks have been nerfed too much. Jezzaisl best usage was as pure cannon fodder to avoid the riders from charging my rat ogres. Really, the only good units on the whole game were the weapon teams and gutter runners, they are way sturdier to shooting than what they look like.

In general it really feels like skaven lack a lot of punch and characters to give LD with those huge nerfs. U can put chieftains, but that money is better spent on warlock engineers to be able to bring globadiers. Meanwhile, I generally felt like lacking enough firepower to damage T5+ monsters like the hydra here.

Will try again with a more melee focused army (whitout jezzails) but I generally feel like I won't bring skavens to any tournament and will probably stick to OPR Regiments.

You can’t say it’s nerfed when it’s a new edition. It’s not nerfed, it’s totally new, and every army is weaker than 8th. And it’s a damn good thing the game is toned down across all armies. Nerfs happen throughout an edition. Saying an indexed edition has a nerfed army completely misunderstands what a nerf means. 
 

10 games in, 11 will be tonight, and this is easily the most balanced edition ever.

I do it mainly because when I get it from GW it is themed for AoS rather than standard/ generic terrain. If you know any other company that has AoS themed terrain, please send me a link!

I mean, what themes? Theres terrain out there to fit every realm. Just paint to fit. What are you looking for, I’m sure I can point you to something. 
 

I’m not personally a huge aos guy, I play CoS, but I’ve played twice in the last year. All of our gaming here is Fantasy/Old World (9 games in, and a tournament coming up two weekends from now) and the odd historical game and has been for decades, so I don’t care about that, but aside from endless spells, GW doesn’t make any special terrain. If GW makes it, you can get a nicer version printed elsewhere. GW terrain mostly isn’t nearly as good as other places. GW’s chinese made terrain is their worst product imo. 
 

and almost every town/city has a 3d printing service if you want printed terrain and don’t have an fdm printer of your own. Frankly, a printer was the best decision I made for terrain, it saved me thousands. My game room has 4 tables, and I have at least a dozen terrain setups. Currently painting a Sphinx and statues for my desert table.

does anyone know if they are gonna re-release any of the old terrain kits? or maybe even some new ones? im sick of there being no fortifications with aos, in fact i think every race in aos must be descended from hobbits because nobody seems to dwell in buildings above ground.

There are a hundred companies that make much nicer terrain, cheaper than GW. 
 

honestly, I’ll never understand why people buy GW terrain. 

[only a personal wishlist of changes for next edition]

-double turn removed(end of games won by luck)

-shooting units cost reduced a 30%(they are overcosted now due to the chance of double turn and get two turns of free shooting)

-magic phase changed to after move

-get objetives changed from numer of models to number of wounds(now monsters and multiwound models dont feel useless)

-monster get a increase of 40% in their wounds(not behemats because they have the wounds per points that the others monster must have) 

-range of melle weapons deleted and changed to attack two ranks in melle

-foot heroes with less than 7 wounds can go inside one unit and figth together

-the battletactics and strategys from diferents books deleted and everyone only can use the same from the generals(more balanced)

-mortals wounds removed from every army and unit and it is only some special as from magic or breaths of monsters

-free sumons deleted,bring back models died is ok but only bring units free is umbalanced

-can spend some extra points in each unit to upgrade it(style to fantasy,so we can get to 2000 points without do tetris)

-removed the penalty for double 1 on spellcastings stoping the hero of cast more spells(its stupid and only a huge penalty to models overcosted as nagash)

I like a lot of these. 
 

can I add a S/T wound system? Because I enjoy the game, but I hate how wounding works. A human shouldn’t wound a goblin and a dragon on the same roll.

[So, has there ever been an update on what “Original” Chris is up to?]

Im a new old listener from the earliest days of the show, way before end times, (Harrison was like 8-9 back then) and when I listened there was a totally different Chris. I was just wondering if Dave has ever given any updates on what he is up to? Has he ever guest hosted? When did he leave?
