By the time Skaven get any kind of real update the cost of a unit of clanrats will be as high as a box set

I am currently running a boarding actions league. Yet my pupils can’t afford GW‘s nonsense. So I ended up buying old models from gaming clubs and from my friends. This way they can participate in the narrative without having to spent a cent.
But wait, isn’t GW‘s marketing trying to get people at the age of 12+ into the game? My pupils are 16-26 - no chance they’ll ever buy a GW box.
It‘s like Peachy said in an interview: At some point it’s a hobby for the rich. First signs are showing: Ebay in Germany is almost dead compared to 2019 when it comes to Warhammer.
I‘ve put up my Nighthaunt on ebay yesterday putting them in packages of 2x Infantry units + 1 Hero. I used the 15-20% discount prices of online shops and put them online with another 15% off. Looking at the prices: It’s still ludacris!
Ive been saying for a while that GW is pricing themselves out of the next generation of customers and even current ones. I dont recommend the hobby to anyone regardless of age and money. The model quality is good for new stuff for sure but thats it. Everything else is a price gouging scam because of greed and thats it.

Although I think Whitefang confirmed that was false earlier in the thread when it was mentioned.
Some of it might be false but there was a long list and some AoS stuff has bled over into 40k over time so its not impossible
-
In unrelated rumor news all the 40k people are going nuts over the possibility of 40k losing T and using the same system that AoS uses

Herds can't receive commands, but theres a lot less keyword bingo.
Gobbapalooza can give +1 rend, sporesplattas can give +1 attack, snufflers can give a 5+ ward, then the squigboss only works on squig units but can give mortals on 6s to hit, +1 attack, or +3 move, plus he can let a squig herd do a hero phase move once per game. None of those are commands either so it works on your herds.
Then to top it off whenever the loonboss on foot issues all out attack to a moonclan unit (including squigs, but herds can't receive commands) the unit deals mortals on 6s to wound.
So plenty of options for buffs depending on how you want to play.
Thats a lot of potential buffs. Im wondering if those would be better on Boingrots instead though. My main plan is to have herds but ill need some hammers as well. I guess herds can be somewhat hammers too. A unit of Boings maybe a Mangler and definitely a unit of Rockguts as a hybrid anvil/hammer.

I want to go heavy on squigs but not take the marshcrawler for future proofing. Not sure what support guys are good now

This is why chaos warriors, while expensive, are a powerful "Screen" unit.
All I hear from this is make a list called 'oops all warriors'

Also when it comes to screens everything is expensive points wise so how much do you invest in screens? Elite armies dont really have options. Nighthaunt can screen via sheer numbers but still have the dmg output that elite armies have. Ive been comparing Stormcast and StD and they are roughly the same as far as units costs and roles. Being elite is sometimes nice but you also need bodies and board presence...unless you play IJ. They just break all the rules

Well maybe but I have a lot of spells I want to cast.
I want Ghost-Mist to protect me from shooting, I want Levitate on my Varanguard so they can fly over my warriors to charge something, I want Daemonic Strength on my Varanguard and probably Daemonic Speed, I want Mystic Shield going out, I want chaotic conduit to juice up my Chieftan, I want binding damnation to make my fight twice work and they can’t fight back and I want infernal gateway and spite tongue curse going out to deal mortal wounds… also all the endless spells each take a cast…
Fair point thats a lot of casting lol

A 4 cast wizard might be overkill with the lack of actual attack spells. In DoT it makes sense cuz there are pew pew spells. Warriors are great I want to use more of them

What a show, all games are celebrating their new releases, maybe not as much the underworlds players, except 40k fans. They're up in arms against the new SM missile unit. Truly this show was one of the best ones they've ever done
As a Dark Angels player im in agreement that the missile guys are...something. I cant find words that correctly describe them. But the dread is cool

What is a good beat stick hero for stormcast in general that isnt a named character? I was thinking the Knight-Draconis but 300pts seems a bit much

Yeah I was thinking that's 60 points less than a Treelord, but the chariot is faster, plus the MW is handy and they give a hit debuff if they have charged I think. Nice to know Hammers gives them a ward save! Didn't realize that part.
What about the Stormkeep mode of Stormcast? Is that something low model count armies might like? Or does the deepstriking outweigh the objective dominating? The Dracoths and Dragons are fast, so I'm not sure the deepstriking helps all that much actually.
If your run Annihilators you probably want to be deepstriking

Im going heavy into StD but at the same time looking again at SCE after the points drops. List building wise they are nearly the same.
-
Im personally a fan of the EvoKitties over the other cav units. Not sure what stormhost they would benefit from though.

Square bases will straight up not work for most of the newer AoS stuff so that might be a problem down the road if your wanting to use AoS stuff for Old World

Does GW seriously expect that when they only release heroes and tomes with close to no marketing that they are making a ton of money for AoS?
It does make me wonder how many of the 40k people that jumped to 30k are jumping back to 10th this year.
I mean...ill be picking up 2 of boxes for WE's at a minimum. Possibly new Guard stuff and if rumors are true ill be unshelving my DA

I double-checked with the tome. The wording is indeed completely different.
I also sent an E-Mail to the AoS Mail-Adress.
The app isnt updated yet with the new stuff as it just went on pre-order today. Next saturday thou once the new book is out there then the app will be updated

On my app the wording of the chosen and Varanguard fight twice differs as well. the usual fighting twice abilities have a different wording alltogether (Van Hel's, Old Chaos Lord etc.)
Is the app updated? Their rules might have changed a bit
