  1. Yeah, even before the release I thought that this would become a meme: The Regiments of Renown really should have come with a campaign book that used them.
  2. Sigmarpedia wird heute 5 Jahre alt. Und es ist gewachsen: 2017-2019 - 80 Artikel 2020 - 1333 Artikel 2021 - zwischen 2600 und 2700 Artikel 2022 - 4235 Artikel --- Sigmarpedia has it's 5. anniversary today. And it has grown: 2017-2019 - 80 Articles 2020 - 1333 Articles 2021 - between 2600 and 2700 Articles 2022 - 4235 Articles
  3. Yes you can spread the attacks between multiple targets. Corerules, 13.2 , first paragraph, last sentence. I think only 40k has a ruling that all attacks of a single weapon has to shoot at the same target.
  4. Unless a battletome included the coalition rules itself (so. third Edition Battletomes) you have to check the Errata. Har Kuron for example has the two following parts in the Broken Realms Morathi Errata: So, A Slaughterqueen can get an Artefact in Har Kuron after she get's the Cities of Sigmar and Har Kuron Keyword (and she gets the player that is also mentioned in the Errata), but she can't be your general because Coalition Units can't become general.
  5. Well looking at roadmaps, we actually woundn't need to know the week or month exactly. If we look at Cublicle 7 for example, when they made their Roadmap Update in November: https://www.cubicle7games.com/november-production-update/ They are mentioning their releases in quarters. Okay I'm still waiting that the prints for "Shadows in the Mist", the "Bestiany" and maybe "Steam and Steel" lose the Pre-Order Status, so I can order it in the shop I want, but we see a direction. I mean, do we need to know that for example a Fyreslayers vs Deepkin box might be released in February or would it be enough information right now if we would know that it is planned for Q1/2022. It would open a little playing room for GWs releases and at the same time customers could see a direction.
  6. Okay, looking at the rumours engine I would have said Aelf for AoS or Aeldari for 40k because most aelf have suchs gems. Deepkin would at least make sense in that regard that they have the oldest battletome when Maggotkin is released (I would guess the release is either December 11th or December 18th, so we should hear this sunday or next sunday from the release) and it is the last Battletome released pre 2. Edition. The thing is. The Akhelian together with the Isharann are nobility of the Idoneth. The association with the beasts is mostly because of the models. Unmounted Akhelian could be possible
  7. The scale of 8th Edition models were already larger than stuff from before. Bloodreavers at least can still fit 25mm square bases as well as Blood Warriors. Stuff like the Fyreslayers or the new Aelfs are a larger problem in that case because those models have 32mm roundbases while the old dwarfs and elves had 20mm square. I don't know if we really need all the now "Old World" models with warscrolls in AoS or if something like Kislev could fit count as Cities of Sigmar units for example.
  8. I have to read the describtion of them again, but I have the feeling I see something even more massive when thinking about the demidroth. As a real time reference maybe a comodo dragon or like the Dodongos from Legend of Zelda
  9. I think in Black Library Stories their are creatures called "Demidroths". If I remember correctly they are smaller than an magmadroth and can't breath fire, but I would really like to see those as a Cavalry option.
  10. Check out section 1.5.5 of the core-rules. The section after re-rolls are describted. I don't have the english ruletext so I can't make a fullquote, but the rule states that abilities that refer to "unmodified rolles" refer to the roll after re-rolls. So, the witherstave happens first, forcing the re-roll and the decision between "Blighted Weapons" and "Blades of Putrefaction" is happening on the re-rolled result.
  11. Yeah, it was a little out of nowhere. I mean saturday (warhammer day Preview): "hey, look at the Red Harvest Box" the sunday after: "Red Harvest will be on preorder next saturday" To make a compare with Cursed City, the Preview of the Box was february 20th 2021, while the preorder was April 3rd. I think normally, if we can call it that way because such previews started to exist during the time of corona, it would have been more likely that Red Harvest would have been a release for end of November or early Dezember.
  12. The main window for information of the Warcrybox was from October 31st to November 6th. This weeks information should be mainly for the stuff that is going to pre-order on Saturday. The problem is, most of it is Black Templars and their were multiple articles before thanks to the Armybox.
  13. Well the other armies you mentioned had many new units. We don't really know yet if the Sorcerer is the only new model and the Harbinger of Decay, Epidemius and Festus stay the same for now or if they get new models as well. I would guess we get the most information about the Maggotkin Release in the week before preorder. We actually had other releases like the Maggotkin release before (many of the the 2.0 Battletomes were such releases). Just look at the the Daughters of Khaine, that were released before. Okay, they had the Ironscale with Shadows & Pain, than the new Battletome and Endless Spells were shown in January 2021 with the Preview, the Dead and the Divine. And the next time we heard about Daughters of Khaine, was the Sunday Preview + 3 articles during the week before pre-order (and it should be the same with for example Seraphon, Kharadron Overlords or Disciples of Tzeentch). Armies that get the hype months before the release are actually quite rare, we only had a quite high concentration since spring 2021.
  14. Looking at this I would say having gods or demigods as playable characters is a large part of the problem. I mean, if Archaon would be defeated or killed by say for example Freeguild General Michael Miller or his unit of Greatswords, this would be a world changing event and literially lore breaking (Michael Miller in that must be included as "Archaon Slayer" in the lore if something like this would happen). In the lore Archaon like Gods or other Demigods is nearly invulnerable, otherwise he hadn't survived for thousands of years.
  15. It wasn't a rewrite of the Eye of the Gods rules itself, but how those interacted with the new Path to Glory.
  16. Well I actually like that AoS partly uses it's own faction terms. It's basicly like when in Lord of the Rings "Uruk'hai" is used for an Orc Type or Hobbit for Halfling (or "Elben" as a german translation for Elves) or like Dark Elves are sometimes called Drow. It gives the chance that those races can have other characteristics than the once we know from "dwarfs", "elves", "orcs" or "ogres" or like we have two trolllike races with Troggoths and Sloggoths. Interestingly, looking at the german translation for Krule Boyz, they were called "Moorpirscha" which would translate back to "moor stalker"
  17. If the updates are made with the FAQ, having pointchanges more frequently wouldn't be that much of a problem, if you had to buy an additional book it would be more of a problem. In addition, in 40k it is worse with the point updates. While we simply switched an entire pitched battle profile table for another one and have to look which one is the last updated one, in 40k only the models and equipment that was changed is mentioned in chapters approved (if they haven't changed it with the 2021 version). This means you have to look in both the codex and chapter approved to find the changes. I would simply say, if the Sentinels would only make mortal wounds when using the direct shot profile, than they would be a little less OP because you could at least hide against the mortal wounds.
  18. A plastic Troggoth Hag would be nice in this case. Forgeworld could use the resources for other projects if they wouldn't need to make AoS Models as well.
  19. The problem is, the app isn't multilingual, so if you want to play in english it's maybe fine, but if you want to play with for example german rules you don't get those with the app (I used the old app, so I was able to get the english rules next to my printed german publications). And what do you do if the battery of the mobile device you use for the app dies in the first turn of your battle? I had my smartphone for 6 years, in the endphase, it wasn't able to charge well anymore (with the third battery) and even plugs to powersupply it was possible that it simply stopped working. Now I have send it to rest, but still not bought a new one. (plus, most likely being forced to an online subscribtion, losing anything when you stop subscribing) GW had the possibiliy to change warscrolls until 3. Edition without the use of an App. They had the warscrolls to download on their page and in rare cases they changed the pdf and made an Errata saying "don't use the warscroll of the book, instead use the warscroll of the webpage". Like others said, point changes are the easiest way to change balancing but either you change points or rules, the prolem will be that every change will only move balancing, making other units bad.
  20. Why forgotten? Maggotkin of Nurgle was released before the 2. Edition was released while Beasts of Chaos was the third 2.0 Battletome. Maggotkin has basicly played with an Edition 1.5 Battletome all the time (like Idoneth Deepkin as well). Do Blades of Khorne (March 2019) really feel older than Maggotkin of Nurgle and Beasts of Chaos (both released in 2018)
  21. I guess it depends how the rule is worded. "(Choose a unit with this ability). This unit can use xxx once per battle" would be a one use for each unit that can use it while "You can use this command ability once per battle..." is restricted to one use for all units together. Basicly the difference if the unit can only use it once, or if the army can only use it once.
  22. They resold the buildings in form of the Azyrite Ruined Chapel and Shattered Plaza. The only difference was that the Warcrybox combined parts of both boxes instead of using the parts of one of those kits. The Sprue with the Sigmarite Head wasn't sold seperatly as well as the one with the chaos tainted ruins and bridges (but that one was used again in the Katacombs Box).
  23. I think the only old model besides the sorcerer is the harbinger of Decay. There is still a chance that they haven't shown the model yet. Every other Maggotkin of Nurgle kit should be plastic already.
  24. Maybe I phrased the last sentence of my first post wrong. I acutally meant that the models that had ordered unfettered command can't receive the reapers of vengeance command ability, because he is the target of the command, so he and other units can use the bubble of unfettered command. The other units that are part of the bubble can still receive it.
  25. Like @Sarouan said, the 3.0 changes were never added to the free warscrolls, and it wasn't the case in the older editions. (only the 2.0 App view of the warscroll was updated). The changes you need are here in the faqs for the factions. It is actually quite rare that GW changed a warscroll by adding a new one into the shoppage. I only remember plague monks and Grundstok Thunderers. Most of the time the pdf was only changed if their was a new printed warscroll (new Battletome, Campaign Book, Boxset). FAQs never changed a Warscroll PDF.
