    When  can we expect to see the pack for this Ben? Last years included a requirement for display boards in order to score maximum painting points (although I'm not 100% sure this was strictly adhered to) and it would be good for those of us with new armies, or first time attendees to know if this will be the case again this year?

    Cheers,

    So there isn't any actual flying ? It's just imagined ?
    I was told there was an errata saying taht if a model is at equal distance between town models, he then cannot pile move anymore. SO if that move is legal, we still have to be careful about position, right ?

    Sorry if the image doesn't work, I'm trying to do this via mobile, but to answer that question, yes it is legal. You move 1" over, 1" back, as long as you end in the exact same space as before you're playing within the rules. If your opponent is ok with you saving time, you can just say you did it each time. The rule is there, after all.

    Guys I have a little question about the Storm-winged mount trait. Just to make sure I'm playing this right, the wording seems to be on a 2+ on any type of move where you pass over a unit you do D3 mortals to 1 unit. Does this trigger on move, charge and pile-in? A pile-in is a type of move, and with a flying model there's nothing stopping you from dipping 1" over then 1" back and landing in the exact same space to trigger the D3 MWs.

    Playing it like this, I'm regularly charging in slightly over range then "backing up", doing D3 mortals, then doing D3 mortals every combat activation by "shimmying". If this is correct, why would anyone take a different mount trait? It makes the Stardrake way more killy than people let on.

    I like the comet, it makes things go BOOOM and WOAAAASH and the enemy looks mad so I find it to be a good spell :P 

    Whenever I run lists past my group and question dropping the comet for other things they usually respond with "Why? We hate it." Mortal wound output aside (which is great) it just messes with their deployment and movement so much.

    Stormhost - Hammers of Sigmar

    Leaders: 

    Lord Arc. on Gryph Charger - General
    - CT: We cannot fail
    - Art. : God-forged blade
    - Spell: Azyrite Halo
    - Mount Trait (I have no idea)

    Knight Incantor
    - Spell: Stormcaller

    3rd Leader (I thought about a Lord-Castellant? or a Lord Relictor?)


    Units:

    5  Liberators

    15 Sequitors (can be split into 2 or 3 groups also I guess)

    5 Evocators
    - Spell: Speed of Lightning (Can Evos take something from the LoI? 1d4chan says so, but the Warscrolsl doesn't say anything)

    3-6 Castigators (depends on if I take this 3rd Hero or not)
     

    War Machines: 

    Celestar Ballista

    Celestar Ballista


    Any information how I could approach this would be great! Not sure how the Dark Elves play, but I hear that the Executioners just tear things to shreds, so my initial idea was to focus on save rolls and healing potentially. 

    Thanks for any help! 


     

    A lot of people here will argue not to go Hammers of Sigmar unless you're using a named character that requires it, however nothing feels better than bringing back a large unit of Sequitors when they die. For a casual game when it goes off it's hilarious and game changing, and an easy stormhost to learn with.

    Mount trait: Wind Runner is my go-to. The extra dice could be the difference in stealing an objective.

    3rd leader: They're both great choices which you can't go wrong with. If you pick the Relictor, give him Translocation.

    Would this list require 2 battleline at 1500 points? Depends on what you've agreed to play of course.

    Evocators spells: Yes they most certainly can and that's my usual choice.

    Castigators: The more you can replace with anything else the better.

    Hope this helps.

    So probably it is not about shippment. I guess it might happens that the factory prints the wrong version(or have some defects?) so they need to reprint it....

    Or like some guesses posted before, the syl books drops into the ocean and they also need to reprint it🤣

    Just an FYI about the Sylvaneth tome, I spoke to a few people at Warhammer fest about it. Unless something has changed since then, it's been delayed because the US's entire stock was held up in customs. They couldn't do a worldwide release until the American stock has been OK'd, so until that happens we all need to wait.

    Again, as a disclaimer, this may be old news that has changed.

    As this is a "Rumour Thread" I think a bit of insider info wouldn't go a miss. I know a salesperson who visited the Games Workshop mould shop within the last few months. I know, within a level on certainty, that GW are investing in adding about 50% of the amount of mould machines they're using towards the end of this year / start of next year, which required expanding their entire workshop. These things take time, but it's coming close to completion. If I were a smart man, looking at the timing and supposed "new releases" I keep hearing in here, it's worth a fair guess that they're getting ready to churn out heavy amounts of models, both old and new.

    Games Workshop have increased in value significantly the last few years due to their new approach on marketing, new 40k edition and AoS -  moreso than they anticipated. They've been playing catchup ever since, but it looks like they're close to being able to keep up. There's a lot of lines that need moulding, and more machines will help significantly, I imagine. Take all of this with a grain of salt, but it says a lot about the stock issues and delay on new AoS release.

    With all of this plus Shadespire, it feels like they might be pushing for Death and Nagash to be the big-bad and centre stage for a while. This will be a nice divulgence from previous Chaos themes and will hopefully please a lot of players. Just, you know, sooner rather than later please!

    While the game remains as simplistic as it is, it will continue to be avoided by a large amount of people that expect a certain level in "wargames". 

    Good, these are the types of people I don't want to be playing AoS with. Let them spread their toxicity elsewhere.

    Back to rumours. So pretty much all speculation I read for future armies is from this forum, but how many of these are actually looking realistic? Nurgle, new (pirate?) Aelves and Deathrattle are the ones I'm commonly hearing, but which of these do we actually see happening next year? Because let's be honest beyond Shadespire I don't think we're going to see a new army this side of Christmas. Though, following in the footsteps of the amazing overlooked Fyreslayers Start Collecting box we got, can we maybe expect some great start collecting boxes for Christmas? Other than KO, which "fully fleshed out" armies don't have one? Or maybe some of those £100 "Battleforce" boxes that we saw last year. Though limited those were incredible value for money.

    I'm going to need a bit of clarification on what counts as "fully painted" here. My personal aim has been to get every model "base coated" - so appropriate colours on all sections of the models. However I highly doubt I'll have them shaded, highlighted, or anything beyond the use of citadel base paints. As for bases, I use the Shattered Dominion bases which will be base coated and highlighted. Is this sufficient? Because by definition these aren't "fully painted" but they are appropriately coloured. If this isn't enough, I'll have probably about 400 points usable and will likely have a terrible time... So hopefully not!
