Agreed. It feels like GW staff is mostly obliged to do things that are coming from the HQ, so official stores often lack that atmosphere. Also, a couple of years ago I remember they also prohibited playing FW models, which felt crazy. So local stores are the best for me.

Well I like the idea that faction tactics are gone - they were quite imbalanced compared to each other and sometimes too stupid like when SCE had tactic which could only be achieved by CoS unit lmao. Instead, all the alliance tactics are now both balanced and hard. You know, throw 10 units to score all objectives, kill all enemies and be in each quarter. Hope they will be replaced in a manner of time. Universal tactics are still good though. Think this is where GW creativity to create something simple ends.

Well and eventually it turns out to be Destruction Battletome Silent people 😁

Oh GW, you are going to release some fish things for elves, right?

Having mentioned Ogors, don't forget Lumineth as well, I guess 99% they will get water-themed wave in the upcoming edition (at least a hero, a unit and an avatar with warcry band included in tome already).

Yeah, kinda that. But the whole concept of GSG was raised mostly from moonclan goblins, so I hope we will see more classic greenskinz in future, maybe just gitmob tome or gitmobs combined with chorfs or orruks be it KB or some new orruks as well.

Regarding gitmob release, I think it'd be better for them to get their own tome or be moved to KB. They differ a lot from the concept of crazy shroom-eaters and cave dwellers. Expanding their range within GSG tome will make tome bloat. I've always been wondering why they put gitmob in GSG army, unless it is just a temporary harbour. They don't even have synergy with any of GSG heroes or traits.

I wonder why the article didn’t mention any unit limitations. Thought it was the key feature for matched play games. If GW really throws out any limits, it’d be awkward and maybe even unbalanced. Even 40k has 3 units each or 6 for battleline/transport

Exactly. People are buying magic wands because of Harry Potter, yet they have no practical use and are not as fancy looking on shelves as for example some movies or anime figures. Good marketing can drive people buy everything just because the concept is too good. So I guess if Warhammer TV show succeeds then GW will see a major flow into its main product.

So what are we expecting today for #newaos article? Endless spells? Battle traits?

It’s probably 40k week with rest of tau releases and maybe something for HH. Also considering Emperors Children have been mentioned this week, maybe CSM preorder is also possible.

Maybe GW will just delete dwarves and get dark aelves moved to DoK index?

KO have aetheric navigators for at least unbinding enemy spells. And I hope they will remain spell in the bottle to have access to endless spells. Also, I don’t know about allies system in 4th edition, yet if it is still there, we can access allied wizards and at least them taking common lores. Just a guess though.

It actually says that: Endless spells and invocations are still in the mix – but instead of spending points to add endless spells when constructing an army, you can pick a manifestation lore. This grants access to a selection of endless spells and invocations that you’ll be able to summon in battle. Which I understood as endless spells will have their own lore, which you also pick. But do you pick it instead or in addition - yeah, that's the question. I think it's too powerful to pick both and players should opt for one of them. Maybe thematic endless spells will be included in one of the army lores, but who knows.

Am I correct that now you either select some normal lore or endless spells/invocations lore per army. So you can't further mix endless spells with normal spells anymore?
