The question is: How will Factions with no or only very limited shooting fare against him? Khorne and StD look like in a quite hard Spot. BCR, FEC, too.
I really dislike that wildcard-approach in the current design."Hurrdurr, Faction A can Autocast X spells and has anyone to be a wizzard" "Hurrdurr, Unbind Magic across the whole table with a huge bonus" "Hurrdurr, fight always first". Paired with the deathball-listbuilding, the quite messy initiative system that leaves you to wait 2 turns in a row beeing unable to play this really messes with the game and the joy it provides. I love to have a tense game with my opponents, rolling dice and having fun. But putting time and effort in a long and big game, only to remove models for several turns in a row, feels just not fun anymore. Maybe all thoose bad experiences so far have made me too sensible for the announcements of fancy new toys for fancy new factions.
I would have thought Khorne will love playing against Lumineth - as long as they remember to bring their floating skulls along!

The sooner the Lumineth are released the better, because that means its sooner for the Sons of Behemat release!!
And it also means you can model a gargant riding Cellenar!

Ooo those bird people sound interesting- I was wondering if we would see feather winged Kurnothi as a nod to the Warhawk riders as they seem to be beast elves..That is the elf faction I'm most interested in.
The Fyreslayers, to me, are dwarf spartans/the 300 -not slayers - slayers have Mohawks not crests and are punk-rock/deranged dwarfs. I really, really love that Gotrek sculpt -just perfect. I think it was alluded to that they are working on a dwarf faction but I don't think it will arrive for a while- maybe next year..[pure guess work].But seeing the Gotrek sculpt, the iron breaker and hammerers and of course the Kharadron I'm really excited about any future dwarf faction [and actually would love proper squats if they redid/reimagined them for 40k..].
Interesting. For me my one criticism of the Gotrek model (other than having to magnetise him to both base sizes) is that he should be totally nude

Oh, I do get that now. I'm rather new at this, just coming up to a year next week.
Should have taken a bit more care choosing a miniature game.
Or not, I do like most of the models I have, but will take it down a few notches from here.
We'll don't worry you have plenty of time to take more care when deciding whether to embark on The Old World as it's not gonna be out for years!

Here’s a rumour. When they get round to it, the Sons of Behemat novel will be written by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I used to work at the same law firm as him in Leeds and we often discussed whether he would write a BL novel. Since he’s gone full time as an author, he’s hinted several times on Twitter that he’s writing something for them and this would suit his writing style (IMO)
I love some of Adrian Tchaikovsky's stuff so if that was real it would be very exciting.
Although personally, I can't see what I love about his style translating to AoS - I'm a huge fan of his world building and the slow reveals/opening of those worlds. Not sure he would be able to pull of that trick in an established world such as AoS. Exciting if he did though!

Yup, it's still not working! I've got the map in my cart but that's all I've been able to do so far.
Dang that limited edition is tempting

So is anyone holding out hope for a preview this weekend? Personally I'm looking for the smallest scrap of Lumineth info. If I don't paint an aelf soon I'm going to turn to the Dark Gods...
Why not do both?

Absolutely hoping for your best situation. We need more Human Mortals in AOS and I really want the Siege of Excelsis book. Heres hoping its Stormcast/Devoted VS Orruk Warclans and perhaps a cameo from the Sons of Behemat.
Sorry this is a but pedantic but hey, we've all got plenty of time on our hands.
There are actually plenty of Human Mortals in AoS at the moment - tons, and tons, and tons.
It's just that they're all chaos!
I'd be well on board for more Order Humans though.

I refuse to accept the battletomes are all up to date until we get the AoS 2 version of the Chaos Dreadhold Battletome

Haven't we all been preparing for this moment for years by stockpiling massive backlogs of unbuilt and unpainted models?

In the book Dark Harvest there are villages of humans in Ghyran who worship Kurnoth
Yes this is why i am excited for Kurnothi.i can see them being real nicely dark

I know it’s not what you meant, but I always think it’s worth reminding everyone that even in a “normal” matched play game, it’s not a symmetrical experience unless you use exactly the same armies and lists!
so much of what makes aos so fun is the asymmetrical abilities that each army has

Wounds: 119Hey all!
Been thinking about building a Phantasmagoria list just cause i think it would be funny to play something fast and hard hitting.
I want a list that i could go 4-1 with if played well. Do you guys think this list would be able to do it or do i have to change some stuff?
Thought process is you get the taurus out there to protect you from losing turn roll, taurus negates the opponents strongest units being able to kill your enlightened since they fight last. Taurus also gives me a fair chance against slaanesh aswell and is good against OBR with their blobs of mortek.
Use geminids and arcane suggestion to give a unit -2 to hit and -1 to wound so you can sasfely get your guided by the past with one of your enlightened units. (Could swap geminids for another 10 ungors for more screening and objective holders).
Host arcanum cause you get free unbinds in round 1,3,5, free summon of 6 screamers and the 6" pre game move for d3 units. This could possibly make your enlightened able to move 25" first turn if you wish to alphastrike or get your wizards in range of spells first turn.
Not sure about the second artefact, word is here in sweden we might see less and less of realm artefacts so i dont wan't the list to be dependent on one.
Any tips or flame are welcome
Does the great bray shaman get a lore spell cos he gains the tzeentch keyword?

Good stuff. Some nicely surprising lists in top 20!

I like how the OBR got pushed out with only 1 in each top 10. Can we finally put the hype around that faction to rest?
Changehost is a hard counter to OBR so once changehost becomes reasonable I predict OBR will go back up the tournament rankings

Get rid of the no retreat rule from the Hosts Duplicitous for something else (or make it cost a command point)
Change the battleshock interaction with destiny dice.
Change the Changehost to be one unit that can teleport and it costs a command point or can only teleport within 9" of a friendly unit or some such.
(oh and also drop skyfires and enlightened and tzaangors by 20 points each pls hehehehe)

I actually think they've scaled back (get it?) the scale creep over the last year.
Nothing has increased in size over the Khorne Bloodreavers from the very beginning of AoS - if anything we've more recently got a whole host of smaller scale humans via warcry.
Mortek Guard are smol too. Maybe that's why they're so cute?
