  1. Hello fellow mortal realmers,

    just wanted to bring this petition to light in case anyone had missed. A somewhat desperate attempt to save our beloved faction that will prob not result in anything - but it may at least send a message to GW that people will rise up when they axe a faction and betray its loyal fans just like that.

     

    cheers!

    Sons of TGA! Of Morghur! My beast-brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of the weak manlings. A day may come when our tome is squatted, when we forsake our horns and break all bonds of the herdstone, but it is not this day. An hour of the man-god and shattered hooves when the Age of the beast comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we bray! By all that you hold dear on this foul earth, I bid you stand, Beasts of Chaos!

    BAAAHH!!🐐🐄🔥

  3. I don’t like all this talk about my poor goats getting axed 😢 seem weird that they’d have BoC as a fully fledged TOW faction and not have them in AoS🤔 especially since we actually got a new model with latest battletome.

    atleast have them as a sub-faction for ST2🙏🐐

  4. I am happy to say that you guys swayed my opinion on this. 
    Currently biting into some audio dramas and general lore, and what I found is interesting: this is NOT WHFB. 
    As obvious as that might sound, it actually clicked for me just recently. This is a new setting that is supposed to be and feel different than WHFB. And I honestly just learned to appreciate that, just like a enjoy settings like LOTR or warcraft. 

    As soon as i stopped comparing it to something its not even designed to be - it kinda just clicks!

    Thanks guys! Im excited now!

  5. one of my biggest issues with this game ATM is the uninspired way EVERYTHING seemingly causes MWs: spells, effects, abilities etc. its like as soon as anything is supposed to be/do something special, the end result is almost always MWs like they cant come up with any other effect. 
    Some stuff could just be for example auto-hits with a very high rend, cause debuffs, carnage wounds etc
    Id like mortal wounds to be "truly mortal" again and not seen on every other ability/warscroll, it gets watered down

  6. My main problem with AoS has always been the lore. I love the gameplay! Many units/models are really cool -  not everything is perfect ofc, but in general there are many armies I really vibe with. 
    But Ive never been able to shake that feeling of the lore and setting just being thrown together as an "experiment" to see if it would sell. WHFB was uninspired in many ways no doubt (I mean the world map is pretty much earth with each corresponding culture in their places) but it had a more grounded feeling and events/actions had weight and meaning. 


    I stumbled on this video and the man said pretty much my every thought on the setting. 
    I feel kinda depressed because I WANT to like the setting because it has so much potential, but currently it just feels thrown together with minimal effort so we have something at least to throw dice within (basically what he says in the vid). 
    However, Im now looking for any information that would change my mind. Is he right about what hes saying in the video? If not, please help me see why I should care about AoS, because I really, really want to.

    Cheers!

  7. Greetings!

    Ive just returned to AoS after a ca 3-4 year break since 40k consumed my heart. However, with the current state of 40k 9th (a bloated mess) I have just rediscovered AoS again, and the main draw for me now is that the gamplay seems so incredibly fun! Alot more random and lighthearted than 40k, yet has room for competative play - love it. 

    My only problem now though is that I still find the lore of AoS to be shallow, over the top etc (you know the common complaints from most WHFB and 40k players from when AoS first released). That said, I can see that alot has happened since my last visit, and I´d like to find some sort of recap of the lore to see if it would appeal to me more this time around. 
    From what ive heard, the lore has been expanded and seemingly improved, but ive yet to see it for myself. 

    This is why I turn to you for help!
    I genuinely WANT to like the AoS setting in its entirety, and I think reading the right novels/stories could help me with just that. 
    Armies I play and would like to explore more: Beasts of Chaos, Soulblight Gravelords and Skaven. 

    So give me your best reading/youtubing tips!
    I wanna dive deep into the mortal realms and come to love it as I do with WHFB, 30k and 40k. 

    Cheers!

    For the record, they're five 1 wound models for 100 points on a four up save and no functional melee attack.  They were a high point cost investment and easily removed from the board.  To get some perspective, for their points, you got four times the wounds out of the same number of points of Savage Orc Archers.  The biggest kick in the teeth here is that KO still haven't won an event in their 4 months since release and the illusionary tournament threat of masses of Thunderers murdering everything never materialized.  So they corrected a problem that doesn't seem to have actually hit the table.  

    Skyfires on the other hand...

    hmm i see, thats weird.. I'm not a big tournament-goer myself, but i was under the impression that KO was really strong, but thats only speaking from personal experience ofc. but has this actually been attempted by anyone yet? imo doesn't really seem like GW to correct something potentially broken before people actually starts doing it

    Honestly it was simply silly that you could pick 10 of the best weapons for free like that. Sucks you bought 10 boxes but frankly that kind of cheese is bad for the game so I'm happy they're making the change.  Great paint job on those guys though, very impressive. I especially love the basing.

    Well my heart bleeds for you Tom? But i have to agree, seems a bit cheesy

    Noooo?? give something for the people that want dark elves, duardin or free peoples!! Not every order player wants stormcast, even if theyre good. Dont mess it up with SC wich everyone who wants already has! Why couldnt these armies just get start collectings? Now with GH2 and allegience ab. itd be great timing

  11. im very optimistic! yes - discount for fielding 40 or whatever of something is a boost for basic infantry, and perhaps the best way to make horde armies truly viable. however, bigger stuff with bigger damage output will still wipe the carpet with these units, even if theyre 10man stronger now. i dunno, i just dont think itll make an impact big enough to boost infantry based horde armies to the skies, just make them a bit more viable.

    on another note: why even keep stuff in pointless dangler-factions if we can just borrow (allies) from them anyway? i find that limitation wierd and unecessary tbh. sure, bonesplitterz and beastclaw is one thing, but deathmages? swifthawk? shadowblades?

    edit: i see now why allies limitations are good, to break up OP mixes from grand alliances. still, some stuff shouldnt be keps seperated from atleast one "main faction". deathmages - deathlords/rattle. shadowblades - darkling covenants/daighters of khaine. etc.

    I'm also betting on Nurgle and maybe some Aelves.

    yea id agree. those nurglish feet we got some time back - tho i doubt im the first to point this out, but look at the nurgle beast in the far down left corner

    looks like something that could be used for both systems
