    TGA Official Generals Handbook 2 feedback

    in Age of Sigmar Discussions

    Posted · Edited by daedalus81

    I'm starting to think making shooting a tandem phase like combat is not such a terrible idea.

    Quote

    The player whose turn it is picks a unit  to attack with and attacks with it's ranged weapons, then the opposing player must attack with a unit using their ranged weapons, and so on until all eligible units on both sides have attacked once each.  The opposing player may instead choose to run with one unit instead of choosing one to attack for each unit the initial player chooses to shoot with.  A unit can be picked only once per turn to run. Neither players needs to declare attacks with all of it's ranged units.  If the controlling player may finish shooting with any remaining units if the opposing player has no further reactions.  Any unit that does shoot must now reload and cannot shoot in the next shoot sub-phase.

    1) You can still shoot into and out of combat.
    2) You still have the same total rounds of shooting available.
    3) It lessens the impact of a shooting army catching a double turn.
    4) All-melee armies have some benefit.
    5) It makes you have some harder choices in target selection like with close combat.
    6) It is relatively simple and in keeping with the spirit of the rules.

    Everyone forgets nobody bought or played Tomb Kings. The only reason people all the sudden like them now is because they have loose compendium rules that were written before GHB and they got good abilities.

    Ehh.  They have a really enjoyable aesthetic and cool fluff.  There were plenty of players prior to their squatting and it isn't very easy to find a whole army on ebay years after they stopped being up for sale.

    My cohost for Warhammer Weekly will be at the Adepticon event this evening and we'll do our weekly show immediately after he gets out of the event.  I doubt they'll allow cameras but I've told him to take copious notes.

    What time does the event start?

    Dammit. I've just spent the last 3 years painting dark elves with strong marine/nautical/Cthulhu theme rebasing them for AOS, adding more units, adding Skink Thralls and a Bastardised Bastiladon. My worries are two fold:

    1. My current dark elves might look stupid compared to the new stuff and/or wont go together either aesthetically or fluff wise.

    2. The new stuff will be so good I will want to start a new army with it anyway, and I could do with starting something completely new and non skinny and pointy (My head had been turned by the Kharadron Overlords)

     

    It will be #2.  You know this to be true. ;)

    Oh I haven't seen this posted either, but apparently the new starter set is going to be $85 with fold out mat and 'hill'.

    It's the same models as the current starter minus Dracoth and a khorne character or two.

    I've given this feedback already for GHB2.  Many of the "X is battleline with Y allegiance" should instead be "X is battleline when a Y hero is your general".  This makes many of these units infinitely more usable since battleline status could be keyed towards generals rather than entire forces.

    Then you'd break the whole system.  Take the best hero and battleline and then anything else you want without restriction.  Anyway this isn't much of a discussion for the rumor thread.

    They'll need something significant to become competitive, especially if they don't do anything to address the warscrolls' innate lack of Rend or MW output in addition to mobility. Khorne are in competitive lists now only by the grace of Sayl and Warp Lightning Cannons.

    I expect battalions and artefacts to fill the gap a bit.  There is also the potential for a points decrease.

    Also we might see the new deep/chtulu elves at adepticon.

    Via Hastings.

    I don't think Dark Elves will exist any more, at least not in the current aesthetic, I think the Cthulu/Deep one Aelves coming out way are meant to be a shadowy almost swings both ways army, they're certainly dark anyway from what I understand, I'm expecting to see them at Adepticon next week with a release either later this year or at the beginning of next year. You'll have to forgive me but I've been out of the loop for a while

    It's almost too much to handle.
