..to the point I feel like I've finally been priced out of the hobby.
At this rate GW will price themselves out of the next couple generations of new players. Once all the old guard are gone/done then thats it. No new players for the foreseeable future due to how the global economy is

Even with the change to the rally ill still probably use units of 20 Warriors. They will still be very durable

What would be a good sub faction choice to spam Warriors and some Ogroids?

Ooh that would look so good. Your basically playing Ogors with horns at that point though lol but I love the models

Regarding StD: Cabalists tunring heroes into sorcerers is terribly interesting. Finally we could make a hardcore Tzeentch champion now that is both strong in melee and a wizard like back in the old days.
Good thing I bought the StD box anyways. I see myself getting Chosen and more warriors. especially warriors, they could be a great alternative to Horrors on objectives now.Similar in points cost too so easy to swap

The new Slaves to Darkness leaks make them seem very strong, though it remains to be seen exactly how strong.
Some small bits (not all changes):
- Archaon has 25 wounds and a 5+ ward (860)
- Chosen have 3 wounds, 3+ save, and 2 damage (240)
- Warriors have rend and a 3+ save (220)
- Knights only have lances, but these are 4/3/-1/1 off a charge, and 4/3/-2/2 on a charge. They also have a 3+ save (230)
- All of the tribes have been simplified as expected, and Host of the Everchosen allows varaguard and knights to rally on a 4+
There's a lot more than this, but in general, everything is a lot stronger but more expensive - which is how it should be for Slaves. I didn't like them being the cheap and cheerful conquerors of the realm (so long as their enemy didn't have a good save) - now every elite unit is a force to be reckoned with.
They look strong at a glance but with their points costs youll only have about 4 units on the board lol

He is posting mostly pictures but im at work so dont have time to write all that out

The guy that got the early boxset is going haam right now in the fb group. Apparently he cares little for NDAs lol
-
I want to be excited but then I see how much they jacked up the cost of a single kit to be priced higher then box sets and im like 'na im out'

I absolutely believe it. The thing they aren't mentioning is management, as they have in the past, probably ignored their playtesters and ratcheted up the power level in order to make sure the army made more of a splash. At least they're doing this before the full release. It's a good reminder to never buy anything early based on the rules and wait for at least the first round of nerfs before you make a decision.
What do you consider play testing? For me its a period that should be several months of none stop games and rules tuning. From a video game point of view this is known as alpha and beta testing. GW absolutely does not do this. Proper testing of complex rules interactions would and should take several months. But there is no way their release schedule allows for that. What they instead do is send beta copies of the rules to community influencers, they review them, give their opinion, then GW throws it out the window.

lol they said they had playtesters and it went through a 'rigorous testing period'....I dont believe that for a second

Had a better look at it now and I found some cool stuff I think.... I think you can stack rend on Kairic Acolytes (even the acolyte units can buff one of theirs)! That means they can get to -2 rend in a pyrofane cult comfortably, if you wanna be insane, you could have a unit of 30 and a unit of 10 and have the unit of 10 buff the blob of 30 so that they get -3 rend! Imagine a unit of 30, 30 bolts of -3 and 60+ attacks (paired cursed blades are now 2 attacks at 3+/3+, even without Fatemaster.....) with -3 rend.
Hmm...but can you fit a unit of 30 ww a unit of 10? And if you could fit a unit of 30 whats to stop you from trying to fit multiple units of 10? I feel like its not intended to work that way
-
Well I had a bad feeling and it was largely true...the basically just took the current book and took stuff away or left as is. Very few good/positive changes. And as usually the points costs are crazy bad but I think they point stuff wrong for AoS in general.
Im not a fan of the only new faction ability forcing you to either buy an endless spell to use it or waste it completely.
Looks like they reverted most of the box changes at least.

Leaks make no sense lol.
I can find a full Votanm codex a month early but cant find a sniff of our battletome a day before preorders.
Just as the changer planned guess
Yeah theres is almost nothing out here for both DoT and LRL. Very strange

apparently Horros only split on 4+ in the new 40k demon book might inplement that in aso how knows
Maybe their points would come down if they split on a 4+. Would be better for balance and not nearly as annoying for others to fight against

Perhaps, but it's being done across the board with each new book. I doubt we'll be excluded.
Unfortunately that is true

The Rumour Thread

The problem is tournaments are the only real source of numbers that they can track. Reliable, sanctioned, monitored games are the only actual source of stats. GW doesnt and cant see when people are disappointed with X faction when your just hanging out at a local GW store. And then theres the people that dont play at GW stores. Their concerns are never heard. Forums like this, B&C, FB groups are nice and all but dont contribute to trackable stats to balance stuff around.
