Saw these bad boys and had to get myself some start collecting boxes for them! Hopefully ko will see a release like this in the near future but for now the hunt for ur gold is on!
Looks like I may have my battle line all sorted for the next book and 2 heroes on foot as well as 2 magmadroths. Do you guys think this will be more of a defensive army given their extra wound and perhaps a point increase? Not sure how to flesh the collection out from the scs.
I personally have fully enjoyed the introduction of AoS 2nd edition and really don't have a problem with armies getting more terrian.
As far as mortal wound spamming I guess that's a thing? I've always been afraid of the units that pump out 60+ attacks rerolling over mortal wounds as mortal wound out put can be strong, but it doesn't feel as spammed as before. That's just my take from playing in my local area and not seeing outside of it just yet.
Things I would like to see updated are silly combos with 8 nagash spells and his ability to shrug off everything tossed at him. Some of the magic rules and realm scape features just really have knee capped the other army that I play. Which is kharadron. It's a balance that takes time when the brand new toys come out and I'll just stick with stormcast in the meantime.
The only other thing i would like to see brought in a bit more is command point spamming. Units getting +4-5 attacks or getting an auto charge in just make other choices for your army kind of pointless (looking at you gavriel).
I'd be more happy with an aethermatic rune navigation system than a terrain piece or some "endless" spells.. Using the aether to its full effect with more buffs dished out.
Honestly I think that's almost exactly how it's going to go if there are new death factions like KO. Really looking for a "if bretonna were all skeletons" kind of thing with pikemen, bows, trebuchets, a royal court of wraith knights, etc... But if they have something wild like they did on the KO concept I await it with great anticipation.
Kind of figured that Nagash would play his hand after Sigmar did all the dirty work for him. This is awesome news and I hope to see some love given to deathrattle and the other factions. Keeping fingers crossed for skeleton crossbow men!
I'm hoping if it's sigmar is he comes on some elder dragon or a creature equally as awsome as dhrogar is. Preferably to a metal theme in the background.
I know steam heads aren't mentioned too much but follow me on this for a second:
Maybe it's because tzeentch will overwhelm the cities, and on the third day sigmars forces will look to the horizon. A certain dwarf God aboard a zepplin will show his hand and give them some steam powered justice.
...I just kind of want more pics of dwarf releases.
