    Last reply to this as this is a rumour thread and I think we should keep on topic. You can PM or start new thread if not happy. Anyway my reply...

    Im sure they are doing what some ppl have asked for but who are those ppl.  getting input from a handful?

    Didn't they do a facebook post asking for input? Also we know there are people from the studio who keep an eye on social media and a few of them visit this forum. So I think they are getting plenty of input. Not happy with it, jump into the facebook post and say. ;)

    Guys, I don't see why you are all getting upset. You want to play with points for competitive/tournaments/pick up games? To me this is easy as it seems everything you will need will be in the core battletomb and maybe Generals Handbook. Want to play pure Stormcast? Use the Stormcast book. Want some other stuff, use the General's Handbook.

    If you don't care about points and want to do narrative or Age of Sigmar out of the box? You won't care about this issue ;) 

    Seriously, GW do something cool and give you what you have been asking for and it's not what you wanted and it's like they have stolen your sandwich. I think this is really cool and I have no issue following what is going on. I love what they are doing and I can't wait to see what else they have up their sleeves considering we are only in February now!

    Anyway, this thread is something about rumours or something.......

    As much as I love the Patriots, this is a rumour thread and not a Football thread ;)

    I do wonder how strict people are going to be about the Stormhost battalions and paint schemes.  I wonder if it will turn out like 40k often does with "You can't use Ultramarines rules if you're models aren't blue" kind of thing...

    I can see some people getting excited about this but I think in general it will be ok

    But their matched play profile is in the generals handbook and apply to warscrolls outside of the book, does it list them in the stormcast book and say no points/not valid? Or do they note this somewhere that the storm cast book invalidates rules from another book?

     

    Personally I would like players would use common sense and stick with new rules but can see situations where people may not be aware about the differences (such as new players). I think the approach to them would be the following

    • Friendly games - You discuss with opponent what you want to do
    • Tournaments - Organisers decide what is used.

    Again common sense is to use the new rules. ;)

    Hi Guys, 

    IIRC skyborne slayers and warrior brotherhood were never in the stormcast book anyways, they are from the grand alliance book. I may have missed the memo, but does it say in the book that they are no longer valid? 

    Thanks if you can let me know. 

    They are still valid but have no points so can't be used in matched play.

    Yeah but even so why would you ever not take it on a disc? Being on the disc is better in every way the fact that they cost the same points notwithstanding.

    Slightly off topic as not a rumour but I would say either because of the following....

    1. Person likes the model not on a disc
    2. Person is playing a narrative campaign and for some reason they can't have a disc

    That goes in wherever it's matched/narrative or whatever. Personally I agree with you but I can see why some players wouldn't do it. ;)

    Tbh I think the price reduction might be to get some of the sales instead of third party eBay sellers who are splitting the starter set.

    Like in Australia it's 20-30 dollars off eBay for 5 libs from the starter set. Or 80-90 for five from a GW box. Even with the fact you are not getting the great weapons, it's hard to justify that.

    I could be wrong, but I think it seems less likely for other factions (except maybe khorne BB). I hope I'm wrong.

    Might be a bit of this but I suspect it's more because they want players to feel that they are getting more bang for their buck and offer sets with better value. It's also more inviting for new players

    What's with the Angelios key word on the Hunters? Something I missed?

    Its been mentioned but I think its for some sort of Fast Attack/Scouting force you can choose in the new book.

    I think that their usefulness will depend a lot on their points and whether they will be battleline.

    Other than that they seem to be good at taking care of warmachines, shooting units and weak characters such as wizards.

    I don't think they will be battleline but as mentioned, seem useful for attacking support units (warmachines, shooting units, wizards. etc). If they are cheap points wise, make Stormcast even more scarier!

    Sorry to say, but I myself am a FB friend of mr Blanche even though I've never spoken a word to him. Hes friends with a big part of the INQ28 group on FB, it doesn't actually mean that they know him.

    If you ever do get chance to meet him, like pretty much everybody at GW he is a really nice guy! I met him a few years ago at a GW Heat for fantasy and he was just sitting out of the way doodling in a notebook. It was great to chat with him, especially as I was in awe as I love his work!

    This is edging ever closer.  

    Did everyone see the new Stormcast models in White Dwarf?  The new battletome will be played at Alliance.  

    Don't say stuff like that as it makes me want to speed paint an army I know I have no time to speed paint!

    Also are you doing grudges as I need to sort out Mr Johnson with my frosty elephant ;) 

    The Black Sunz - Ironjawz - Update 28/02 - PICS! Whole new army painted!!

    That puts me on 11 games for 2017 so far...none of which I've reported on so far. Arghhh! Not the start I wanted for the blog :S

    I think that's really disgusting Chris..... ;)

    Seriously, it's all fine. Problem with real life is that somethings are difficult to do and with all the gaming and podcasting you are doing, you shouldn't worry too much about it. Also I'm dead jealous of all the gaming and hobby stuff you do!!!!

    Just linked my Amazon Prime membership and there seems to be two Warhammer TV channels which are:

    twitch.tv/warhammer

    twitch.tv/warhammercommunitytv

    Only the first has uploaded video. Anyone know why there is the 2nd channel?

    The second channel was the original channel when they did the Warlords GT coverage. Not sure if somebody else had the Warhammer label but they seemed to have got it now and using that (which makes sense as this is what they are rebranding to).

    I think it is a dwarf based on the nose and other dwarfish details. Is it confirmed a mage or was that just speculation from the stream? I think it could be a dwarf priest of some kind. Perhaps these dwarfs have some descendant from Fyreslayers and therefore some fire priests still bestow the power of flame. Or maybe its our first clothed fire slayer. Surely he would not commit such a crime against his naked brethren traditions!

    I'm 99% sure it was confirmed on the stream by Rob and Eddie, however I was being kicked in the face by my son who didn't want to go to sleep in his pram and decided that Daddy was more comfortable, so I may have been slightly distracted ;)

    It definitely looks like a duardin face to me. Plus he's much lower down in the picture which suggests he's pretty short. This is aos after all - maybe duardin will have wizards?

    As mentioned by @CoffeeGrunt, it's dramatic positioning ;) 

    Also it was mentioned in the stream it was a Bright Wizard (but you can argue that could be a lie). 

    Could Duardin have wizards? I think so. Things have changed since the days of the world what was ;)
