    Absolutely, but the core mechanics have remained the same. Are they saying they'll split it into 2 different rules sets; matched vs narrative/open?

    No, just that expecting GW to think of narrative and open players when making the matched play rules(which they have finally come to realize is what drives majority of sales) is unlikely.

    Heaps of salt!!

    Doing away with those core mechanics makes for a generic operating system (iWarhammer anyone?) which may please the more competitive minded but does away with the uniqueness of the game. The double turn ability makes for some slightly asymmetrical warfare and is great for storytelling and for uncertainty in planning making for a more interesting game. Some players dislike the rule but it is not universally hated, by Khorne's Fiery Breath I hope this is just rumour nonsense!

    Alternate combat regardless of charging prevents alpha strike shenanigans and that is a HUGE plus to this game!!

    Do remember that this is matched play we are talking about - it is soley meant for competitive minded. If players want the fun stuff thats what narrative and open play are for. GW created the '3 way to play' model for a reason.

    Rumours are rumours, not facts. I want to thank LLV for juicy bits, whether they turnout to be true or not.

    Thanks. Time will tell.

    There are actually a few extra bits that I was asked not to say yet which I'll post when im allowed. New stormcast related stuff and the name of AoS phase 2.

    I am quite astonished how trusting everyone in this thread is so far to be honest. But then again, AoS has not had that many fake leaks since it came out (the time between end times and AoS released was pretty wild from what I gather, though I was not there to see it).

     

    Of course, the rumors could be true, but when a poster goes from speculating along with everyone else to open floodgates of insider info pretty much overnight, I feel a bit of caution and salt is appropiate.

    Oh, that's... interesting. Does this imply that you can use more than one command ability per turn? Can non-generals use their abilities?

    So many questions.

    Not sure- just that you get command points to use command abilities.

    Can units still pile in during the opponents turn if they are close enough?  I like that part of Age of Sigmar compared to current 40k combat.

    Im not 100% sure how 40k works as I dont play it but I heard combat will be changed to be like 40k as its cleaner

  7. Oooh a big one I missed..... Im waiting for this to be confirmed fully but it seems like the priority roll is either majorly changing or going away completely. This is currently speculation but everything else I've seen and heard so far so its highly likely true.

    Wow that's great changes. Roll for first turn (even without removing rolling for every turn) is awesome, Command Points for CA as well as some armies are just overusing it (Changehost) I would love 40k rules that charging units activate first in CC. 

    Also those kind of changes nerfs some stupid builds like Clown Car or Changehost. 

    The combat is apparently going like 40k - so each combat resolved and charges going first rather than picking combats in turn.

  10. No zombies from what I’ve heard but definitely a new unit of ghosts similar to knight of shrouds in aesthetic

    just realized- was there a rumour mill of ragged cloth with some chain mail on it recently? That looks like it’s from the new stuff

    Man as a death player you've got me HYPED LLV. I hope you are right with what you are saying. 

     

     

    It’s fair to say- stay hyped. I’ve no idea how the rules will be but the restless dead are coming for sure!

    Start stocking up on nikalakh oxide now I can see a shortage coming lol
