If (and that should be IF ), I've read the article correctly, there is no way to get extra CP. I imagine for Hero's they may get an aura ability or a "LEEROY JENKINS!!!!" ability but I don't think we will see anything about using command abilities.

This might be where the modular rules come into effect. Don't like something, try playing games with out it. I know this will largely depend on your gaming group but it is an option now which should be cleaner to do.

I suspect there will be some faction ones. At a guess there probably will be say two faction ones, and then one for each battle formation to make it unique. (bit like 40k )

Probably because Covering Fire can only target the closest visible unit and has -1 to hit rolls! Counter Charge is more powerful in my opinion as you can choose your target and doesn't have any negatives apart from if you are rubbish at rolling dice (like me! ). Overall, I quite like these changes. Adds a nice layer to the game and all seem useful. Can see Redeploy being used a lot to contest or capture last minute objectives!

Without opening fresh wounds, as GW can change anything whenever they want to (dropping Fantasy to create Age of Sigmar for example), I can say advice I was given years ago - If unsure what to go for due to worries about changes, go for the latest newest thing. So I would say any Stormcast and Skaven models you buy on release will be fine. But always remember that GW's business model is to get players to go and buy new stuff with changing how the rules work (such as a new edition or revised battletome). I like all of this but in these cases always put it as artistic licence. The rules may not work that way, but it looks cool if you painted it that way Just to say again - I love how enthusiastic Chapter Master Valrak is and I do enjoy watching most of his videos as you can get a creative hobby buzz off them, BUT he is a Content Creator who's job is to get you to watch his videos.

I hope we get an article. I think people need it looking at the last few pages of this topic!

Oooh. Has my rantings about a mecha piloted by a organic blob going to come true? I'd love to see some sort of thing similar to the Guardians from Breath of the Wild as well but that may be a bit too much like Bonereapers

+++ Mod Hat On +++ ** Cough Cough ** <points to previous post> Less of this NOW

+++ Mod Hat On +++ +++ Big Letters On +++ As mentioned previously - I'm very sure that GW are not trying to be culturally insensitive with their products. Can we stop this discussion right now and get back to talking about Warhammer, new Age of Sigmar and how cool the new Skaven stuff looks.

I too would love a fantasy naval game but I agree it will never happen due to Dreadfleet. Dreadfleet was ace but people expected Man O War rather than a board game in it's own right, Same with full Epic as well but I doubt it will happen. Anyway, back to AOS rumours. What will we see today in the preview article? How Magic Works?

If only GW made a game a bit like Warmaster so you could have giant Godbeasts stomping around and hills trying to eat you. I'm pretty sure those rumours are fake and just recycled thoughts and wishlisting.

I'm pretty sure it is unfortunately. This would have been a decision made months and months ago and I doubt this would reverse it. However, it might demonstrate that people are interested in the idea of Beasts of Chaos and if GW aren't doing anything already, might start playing around with the concept. But there is little chance that this would change the decision.

who said it was a clanrat?

Both? I think they are just rusted weapons they have found and are using. On another note.... Warhammer World are going to be selling tickets for a Painting workshop on the new Skaven on 18th May https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-mortal-realms-reforged-hobby-classes-skaven-tickets-871926855697?aff=ebdsoporgprofile&keep_tld=1 Not sure if it is a good deal for a painting workshop, but £100 for the knowledge, paints, brushes and model doesn't seem end of the world. Pretty sure my wife wouldn't see it like that though!

+++ Mod Hat On +++ While it is valid to look at things and see how it may reference something disgusting, I'm very confident that is not what is being referred to with the Skaven standard bearer shown off today in the AOS4 model preview. I think it is good to question such things and never allow it into our lives, but I will state that I'm very confident that is not what GW intend (or want to!). Lets end the discussion about it now

Yeah they are great. I've always wanted a Skaven army since reading the 4th edition Skaven army book and attempted it around 6th or 7th edition and cried a lot from painting slaves. I think I'm ready to attempt it again

You know there are more to come?

It seems a variation of this one from the 7th ed book I think. Not sure if it's for a specific Clan

Very pleased. I was hoping they would do a refinement and not complete redesign on what it is to be a Skaven and they have done a great job. Think this will be the first AOS set where I want to paint up both sides rather than just one. Now if only GW would send an advance copy to a moderator of a certain forum to paint up in advance (note - chances of painting are slim)

Looks like it won't be as annoying to assemble as the Kruleboyz in the starter set. Will be interesting to see what is shown off today (just a clanrat or more-more! )

I doubt we will see road maps for a while. The issue I think they had was tying themselves into a commitment to customers and then for whatever issues behind the scenes (I suspect manufacturing) they struggle to get stuff out.

Just to note but most GW stores do this when they have to send stock back either because it’s going to be repackaged, web store only or in this case discontinued. I do see why you can think about it leaving a sour taste but this is something that happens regularly. My local GW would update its Facebook to let people know you have a last chance to get it in store. I’ve found it’s a good way to get some limited edition stuff if you’re after it

I think it will either be another Warscroll or we're seeing bits cut out in a similar way as the 40K reveals were done. Yeah probably not the best examples with two elite units on show. I'm confident it's not the case across the board but lets see as they slowly drip more information to us

Yeah it took me a few attempts to read it. I got the jist/intention of what they are trying to do but I had to read it a few times to make sure it was what I thought it was. But being a Black Country lad, I don't worry too much about English and Spelling

Also no idea if this was looked at in the new rules, but I would have liked to have seen an effect if units like Nagash die in game. I sort of see it as an Avatar containing some of his essence on the battlefield, so when it is destroyed I think it should go BOOM!
