  1. If my memory serves me correctly, Matt who is the Design Lead for AOS used to work in the Video Game industry. So we may see a bit of crossover and rework
  2. Yup. Plus I imagine it's easier to ship from China due to the infrastructure and less red tape due to a vote the UK took in 2016
  3. Yeah this is the main reason why I'm not rushing out to buy any at the moment! I think what my plan will be using my Flesh Eaters as I had the army box for Christmas (yes I have mixed thoughts!) and all I need to get is the Arch Regent.
  4. Yup. Totally agree with this. However, I am of the school of thought that Beasts of Chaos are not going but we may see the range changing. I think the concept of BOC is about right now but the models do need an update. I think this is what will probably happen.
  5. +++ Mod Hat On +++ Just a note about some of the recent comment about peoples view. At TGA, we welcome all sorts of views and we do not expect everybody to be super positive about GW. HOWEVER, we expect any views to be in a courteous and constructive way and not just "GW SUCKS". BUT this goes both ways and just because somebody disagrees with you, means you should still treat them in a respectable manner. So a poke at EVERYBODY to be thinking about this. At the end of the day, this is a forum to discuss something we all enjoy. Lets make sure we all enjoy talking about it and not making comments that will wind each other up. It's okay to not agree with each other or be positive about stuff. Just be NICE to each other and CONSTRUCTIVE with our criticism!
  6. Has anybody heard anything about the Vanguard boxes? Do we know if they are just going to be rebranded or have the contents changed?
  7. I hope we do! Again I'm doing everything in my power to avoid rushing out and buying Skaven models on my lunchbreak but I have also been looking at the Vanguard boxes and wanting to paint up loads of them!
  8. I think they will follow the 40K 10th edition build up and we will see something. With them showing off the game for people to play in May, we should be getting bits of rules over April as well as faction focuses.
  9. I wasn’t aware of any of that so that’s ace they’ve already done it. Still think it’s cool they’ve done a quick primer for everybody
  10. If you are well versed in the lore, then no this offers nothing new. However, it's a brilliant primer and something they should have done years ago as anybody new to the game and background gets a great start in understanding what is happening. It's to the point but covers the main things people need to know about the setting. They need to do a video on this and get it on Youtube to make it more accessible to new players.
  11. I think it will be on 16th. I think we will see teases of it but full box reveal will be then when people are playing games with the models.
  12. It's going to be on 16th May from 1900 local time to the event. They say so on the page (if you read between the lines ) I'm hoping to go to the UK event on that weekend but lets see how many wife points I can save (I'm already at a Warmaster event at the start of the month!). I agree Battalions will go. I suspect we will see something similar to 40K where you choose a 'detachment' (which will probably be called Battalions!) to theme your list and build from there. As much as I love alternating activations, I suspect part of the issue with it is how the general public would see it. If you are making a game which anybody could pick up, having a traditional turn system is an easier sell than alternating units. Plus there can be a lot of book keeping with such systems. Not saying it's right or wrong but that's probably the feedback GW have had.
  13. I don't think it's GW. I think if you did a survey about books, you would find that may people probably still want them.
  14. Makes you wonder how many issues have been going on in the background for this to happen. Maybe Dawnbringers should have been started earlier? All I know is I want 4th edition now!
  15. I think they mentioned in the video that they are staying roughly the same as what is in 3rd now. I may have misremembered that though or thinking about a rumour, but I don't think points will change too much. GW have done this for about 30 years and it's not going to change. It's annoying with FEC how close the book appeared to the new edition but it's the nature of the beast. I'd love GW to move away from armybooks and just have source books with art and background and keep gaming stuff online there's probably just as many people out there who like having a book.
  16. I was thinking more about units being removed but just remembered Phoenix Guard have already gone. But expecting some models to be dropped in the process
  17. Well at least we get an idea of what to expect in the index stuff for Cities!
  18. No unless you make your own rules. The new edition will be new rules and any new models will only have rules to use in that game
  19. Just trying to gage interest in a TGA meetup at Warhammer World later this year to celebrate 4th Edition. Not thinking of anything special like an event but I can book a few tables and it would be cool to meet some of you in the flesh. I'm thinking it will be towards the end of August or more likely in September and probably on a weekend. So anybody interested?
  20. I think this is a complaint a lot of people have and sometimes it feels very out of focus because you could win the game if you just move a unit in a certain direction rather than claiming an objective or defeating a unit in combat. My hope is they have reviewed these as well! I suspect it will be like the Leviathan Mission Deck for 40K. You don't need it but it's just a different way of playing. Also there may be cards in one of the sets that are being released.
  21. I’m not surprised. I think they have had so many issues around supply and demand, they are trying to avoid committing too much to stuff.
  22. Ah sorry for misunderstanding! I don't think we will see anything else apart from maybe something for Heresy as it's Thursday? Based on what I can remember.... Rules have been reviewed and re-written Weapon ranges are gone. Replaced with Combat Range which is 3" I think and used for combat and capturing objectives Index rules for all armies. Any books you buy now will be out of date in a few months. I'm slightly annoyed about my Flesh Eaters! Colour coded rules on warscrolls to help with what phase they work in It's the Era of Chaos!!! Skaven have errupted everywhere. Things have gone from bad to BAD Underlining the curse of the Stormcast which is going to be shown more in this edition with more Stormcast who have been effected by the Reforging. Not sure how players will see this as it seems the point has been laboured a lot and I think players want crazy out of control Stormcast! Spearheads are a way of playing like combat patrol for 40K. Think of it like a version of the game (I'm already thinking I might be able to play at work as I know a few people who dabble!) The boxed game sounds like it will have a mat to play on? Reviewed the model ranges to workout stats by playing models in a line and grouping them. Should make more sense about some unit's having X wounds or Y armour Save for example! EDIT (due to reminder from @Flippy ) - Universal Special Rules. So Champions, Standard Bearers, etc. A lot of units have them but they do the same sort of thing now rather than wasting space on the warscrolls It's worth watching though
  23. Closer to the release we will but I can see then doing another preview show to show off the models (possibly a virtual Warhammer Fest?)
  24. +++ Mod Hat On +++ Just a nudge folks, but move all the rules chat into a new topic please Now I'm going to go back to watching the trailer again!
  25. It's reference to the Skaven Origin story. There was once a magnificent and prosperous city and the people (humans and dwarfs) decided to build a huge temple with a tower reaching up into the sky, to thank the gods for their prosperity. They struggled to finish it so a stranger appeared and offered to complete it as long as they could add their own offering. When this was done, a huge horned bell was at the top. It started ringing, bad stuff happened and Skaven appeared in what became known as Skavenblight. I'm sure people can better write that but that's what I remember
