  1. Been reading all these leaks from the web.. Plus the official site. So excited! Now the Manglers and Squigs Hoppers can FLY. Awesome. And the Mangler actually becomes stronger near death!! A new for monster!!!!! Can't wait for the collection to be released!! The Bad moon separates the Grots from the Orruks.. So far from all the information letting the Bad Moon start from your opponent side has huge advantages! First turn charge with Mangler!! And that bombarded with meteors thingy is freaking awesome! 2019 may be the year of destruction..
  2. Just imagine 10 point units in AoS. We destruction need something cheap, funny and completely unreliable like a group of snotlings. That's how Orcs & Goblins always been, cheap, funny and completely unreliable. That's why I love them so much so long.
  3. Just watched it! Awesome!! Can't wait for the collection to be released!! The Bad moon separates the Grots from the Orruks.. 2019 may be the year of destruction..
  4. I feel you man. The Fyreslayers were the first re-envisioning of one of the classic Warhammer races. But they had 12 unit warscrolls in their 2016 battletome which is actually pretty good! The Ironjaws only had 8 unit warscrolls in their battletome you know? So no, not very likely. So far only Khorne saw their 2015 battletome repackaged (Stormcast is not counted, they have one every year). IF there is ONE battletome that should really be updated, it's the Seraphon. It is the only 2015 battletome that is still vaild! But since the Aelves were always more popular, I guessing that they will be banking on that first before they will make any re-release of battletomes. Death Grand Alliance Book was made obsolete and it was also the thinnest. The next on that list will be Destruction. Then it is the Order Alliance Book, lastly the Chaos. Some models will disappear, some new awesome lore and models will surface. Lastly why fix something that ain't broken? I know there were tons of error on the App but most people use the App now. If there are new models release, just update the App and people will be happy. So maybe, just maybe, in 2022, after all the factions are introduce there might be a refresh of all the battletomes? For collector's sake of course, for they will be made obsolete very soon.
  5. Yeah, AUTO HEALING D3! I have 2 list to share: 1k list: Allegiance: Destruction, Mortal Realm: AqshyFrostlord on Stonehorn (420) - General, Trait: Wild Fury, Artefact: Thermalrider Cloak Huskard on Thundertusk (360) - Blood Vulture20 x Gitmob Grots (100) - Bows & Slashas20 x Gitmob Grots (100) - Spears & ShieldsTotal: 980 / 1000, Extra Command Points: 0, Wounds: 65 No fancy trick here, just straight up pain plan. A 16" movement FLYING Frostlord on Stonehorn is enough to ruin your opponent day(max 28"with run+destruction move). Wild fury gives your Frostlord 5 attacks (or 6, after taking 5-6 damage), potentially 15 damage. Thundertusk always scare heroes, and the healing ability can keep your Frostlord killing things longer. 40 little grots with their +2 to run is always good to win the objectives for you. 2k list: Allegiance: Destruction, Mortal Realm: AqshyFungoid Cave-Shaman (80) - General, Trait: RavagerGrot Warboss (100) - Moon Prodder & Giant Cave SquigTroggoth Hag (380) - Artefact: Cleansing Brooch Frostlord on Stonehorn (420) - Artefact: Thermalrider Cloak Icebrow Hunter (140) 6 x Frost Sabres (120)2 x Frost Sabres (40)40 x Moonclan Grots (260) - Pokin Spears & Moon Shields10 x Orruks (80) - Pair of Choppas10 x Orruks (80) - Pair of ChoppasBeastclaw's Skal Battalions (150)Chronomantic Cogs (60)Geminids of Uhl-Gysh (40)Total: 1950 / 2000, Extra Command Points: 2, Wounds: 120 I believe it they will be good against most army. Both list can win you many games I believe, before your opponent knows how to shut it down.
  6. Let's examine some facts. The updated Stormcast book has 3 unreleased chambers. The ruination, covenant and logister chambers. 2015 opens with the Strike Chambers(warriors, harbinger, exemplar). 2016 saw the Extremis Chambers opened. 2017 introduce the Vanguard/Auxiliary Chambers. 2018 is the release of the Sacrosanct Chambers. 2019, 2020 and 2021 releases are going to be those 3 chambers. Now on to Destruction, in 2016 we were blessed with 3 battletomes; Ironjawz, Bonesplitterz and Beastclaw Raiders. Bonesplitterz and Beastclaw got nerfed. Yet Ironjawz have to see yearly renewal and reduction in points so as to make it relevant. The Gutbusters Ogors, Greenskinz Orruks, Gitmob Grots, Moonclan Grots and Spiderfang Grots had their battalions completely erased since 2017. A logical reasoning will be that they will have a makeover or merger in the near future. I really don't know what lore will they craft to fix in the Grots, Orruks and Ogors but I'm hopeful. Let's hope that the Destruction release in 2019 will be good. Else we will still have 2020 and 2021 for more.
  7. Don't ask me how I know. 1st half 2019 Destruction focus Moonclan + Gitmob + Spiderfang + Greenskinz New models and new saga.
  8. Woah, take a chill pill guys. Luckily I do know what I was talking about. It's really sad that no one here bothers to clarify with their General Handbook on what's defined as an allied unit. Now we work backwards... Does the Moonclan Fungoid Cave Shaman count toward the maximum number of Heroes you can have? Yes. Did you pay for the cost of the Fungoid Cave Shaman using your allied unit points? Yes. So is the Fungoid Cave Shaman an allied unit? Hmm. Is it really difficult? Your eyes is seeing what your hearts wants to see. So am I making anything up? Or are the people here wishing for winning formula? Yet anyone with a sense of fair play will smell the cheese. Indeed are they are cheap Wizards but the Moonclan Fungoid Cave Shaman has no business with the Beastclaw Raiders, even their command ability doesn't even affect them. Will the Ogor let a creature they normally use as snack or food order them around? Hell no. Let's end this silly discussion, because the proof has been provided. Time to move to other more important topics.
  9. Thanks @Skabnoze You saw what many failed to see. Fun list maybe but not valid in terms of numbers of allied units allowed. You were saying that it is a valid list for Pitched Battle like it's official. Technically you were the one making stuff up, by defending your list with the malign portent FAQ. I just found what you concluded illogical. Like how can units purchased with allied points not considered allied units? And so you consider them.. Special units? How absurd. We can all see that your intention was to have many Wizards for a low cost, casting spells of Doom, and that you thought that you found a loophole to do so. If you were saying that this is just a nonsense list for a bit of fun at the start it wouldn't had mattered. But you were talking like you were sure that you were right. So I personally think that it matters. I believe that the new 1:4 allies to your army's unit ratio is to prevent people from making such a list. I personally do not think that the 1:4 ratio can be bypassed with this.
  10. Oh, Age of Waaagh! I think age of myths was the age of order.. The entire series WARHAMMER is named after Sigmar's hammer, which was meant to kill orcs. Sigmar first got famous killing orcs. Orcs were the most numerous enemy of human when Warhammer started. They are paying homage to a lot of the original work of Warhammer Fantasy. Sigmar and King of Dwarf => Sigmar and Grungni. If they would actually care to pay homage to Orruk in the current lore let them be more threatening. Sadly i believe destruction will continue to be disturbance, white noise, fillers, comic relief for the lore. ? Still remember the legendary Grimgor Ironhide awesome smacking of Archaon, humiliation of the everchosen. So many of my friends were overjoyed with that development. But GW wish all to forget something that so many people fondly remembers.
  11. Very nice insights. So with the Chronomantic Cogs does the Hand of Gork double (or triple) that +2 to move??
  12. In order to use Stornhorns/Thundertusks as battleline your army must be a Beastclaw Raiders allegiance army. Yes it is also a destruction grand alliance army. So yes according to the ruling you can have the Fungoid Cave Shaman. But the numbers is the first issue. Because it is considered an allied unit. Why? The Fungoid Cave Shaman does not share the same keyword as the army's allegiance, which is Beastclaw Raiders, so it's an unit using allied points. So how is an unit using allied points not an allied unit? It is an allied unit. Nothing in the FAQ states that a Fungoid Cave Shaman is not an allied unit just because it shares the same grand alliance. It just say that it will not affect the army's allegiance choice. And so the 1 is to 4 ratio stands. And looking even deeper since it is considered an allied unit and checking the list of allied choice, you realize you are not supposed to have the unit as an allied unit.
  13. I checked and no. Your list is no go for Pitched Battle. Your army allegiance chosen is Beastclaw Raiders. It is needed for the battleline. The Moonclan Fungoid Cave Shaman doesn't share that allegiance. The chosen allegiance need to be destruction. Moonclan isn't a valid choice for allies for an Beastclaw Raiders army. A Beastclaw Raiders allegiance army have very few allies choice. No Ironjawz, Gitmob, Greenskinz, Bonesplitterz or Spiderfang. Only Aleguzzler Gargants, Troggoths, Firebellies and Gutbusters.
  14. Not possible. Moonclan can't be your allies.
  15. Hmm, based on the new FAQ and rules, an ability that is meant for another phase can't be brought into hero phase. The attacks will be made in the hero phase so none. The explanation for the Daughter of Khaine shooting also states that.
  16. Read the points table! Very interesting.. Almost everyone scored well for sportsmanship, Lowest was 35 and the average score is 40.48. I am recommending this idea to my local gaming community! 1 lost and 5 Major victory is better than 4 Major and 2 Minor? Seems.. I dunno.. I feel that maybe the minor should get 20 points and 10 points for a draw, and 5 points for a lost. If the points have such variants there will would be a more interesting score! (Major Victory = W, Minor Victory = V, Draw = D, Lose = L) For 6 battles: 6L = 30 points 6D = 60 points 2W 2V 2L = 110 points 6V = 120 points 1W 5V = 130 points 4W 2L = 130 points 3W 2V 1L = 135 points 3W 3V = 150 points 5W 1L = 155 points 5W 1D = 160 points 4W 2V = 160 points 5W 1V = 170 points 6W = 180 points
  17. Interesting. May I ask who won the top table game, the one which we caught on Twitch??
  18. I see that the questions asked are mainly about points. I am just very interested in the Open and Narrative aspect of the book. I understand that there are a few battleplans that have fixed units choices for Narrative based game. I wonder for the global campaign that is coming up, will there be fixed units in battleplans that we play against for the storyline to progress? I will certainly hope that all the hobby shops which are partaking in the official documentation of the event will game us seriously if that is the case.. LOL.. Ben, what do you think?
  19. New savage orcs, new Ogor beastlords! Yet nothing about moonclans, greenskinz, gitmobs, spiderfang So sad! But I can't wait to actually bit the book!!!
  20. NEW UNITS?!? SYLVANETH??!! BONESPLITTER??!!???!??!??! BEASTCLAW RAIDERS??!!! OMG tell me there are some new battalion for destruction!!! Totally needing for Moonclan, Greenskinz, Ogor and Gitmob!!
  21. Hi Mr Bryan.

    Who else is here?

  22. Sexy! All the best for your campaign! Will definitely love to meet fellow AoS fans if I visit New Zealand.. Waaagh!!!
  23. Waaagh!!!! Interesting! Here we have Sigmar and Nagash! Hahaha.. Where's my Gorkamorka? Oh and watch out for that Archaon.. And will we see Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch and the missing God Slaanesh? LOL.. I love the new story-line of Warhammer Fantasy. I like the old world and it's setting but this high fantasy is the bomb. Super intrigue by the new direction. A true imagination playground for fantasy fans. Nothing is impossible. Watch out for a intelligent Orruk Warboss that can count to 100!!!
