  1. I mean, I'm excited for the new SC model, but yeah, we need a bit more diverse love in the Mortal Realms. That article mentioned that there would be more previews on Saturday, with one in particular being very exciting. 

    Could be 40k, or anything else for that matter...I am cautiously optimistic that it will be something fun for AOS.

    Ben Johnson said on the Warhammer TV stream an hour ago that Nurgle will get something soon.

    They also repeated what I last posted in this thread there won’t be any real news until the Studio broadcast at Blood & Glory in November.

    Okay cool, so like, 2.5 weeks until we get some news...I can live with that.

  3. I mean, we really only have to wait until the DG book comes out right? When it does we will know for sure if there will be Pestigors, new Nurgle demons, stuff like that. As to when, well that's got me beat. I feel like we still have sooo many releases before the year is up, at this point aside from Papa Nurgle I don't think we are going to see another major AOS proper release, Shadespire not withstanding. 

  4. If you listen to Warhammer Weekly with Vince and Tom this week, Vince highlights that each individual model from the Shadespire warbands will apparently be getting their own individual warscroll (they all have unique names). It remains to be seen if these scrolls will be significantly different from each other, but I think this is really neat, and could add a bunch of unique heroes to all our beloved factions.

    Tomorrow is gencon. I will be enormously disappointed if no new faction will be revealed. And i'm not talking shadespire. 

    Does GW have a presence @ Gencon? I know they are showing off stuff @ Nova Open, but I'd be stoked if they were showing shadespire sooner!

    Skirmish on Twitch this Wednesday

     

     

    Well this should be exciting! Are we thinking this will be a boxed release (rule book, models, maybe terrain if we are lucky), or just a book release? If Shadow War is anything to go by we could be surprised, but quite frankly I have no idea what to expect from GW these days.

  7. This makes me so happy-glad. Everyone is probably right, it's probably a faction for Shadespire, which is totally expected. I would LOVE for it to be more confirmation on Hasting's rumour, but I will gladly support any and all children of the Great Horned Rat in the Mortal Realms.

    Sounds great! If you're happy to share you could post your modifications here. You're 100% right that the rules were made to be as easy to modify and tailor as possible :D 

    Sure!

    So we had an event recently where we tested out Hinterlands with 10-12 people, and we have made some modifications that we are hoping will help cut down on some of the, lets say competitive elements of our meta.

    1) No Heroes: Crazy I know right? We have decided for this upcoming league to have warbands composed of only units without the hero keyword. This helps cut down on crazy abilities, and from a narrative aspect we thought it would work to have your warband become heroes as the story progresses. We do have a mechanic where you can hire heroes for a game, but they cost gold and are not permanent members of your warband. 

    2) Knockdown: Borrowing I think from old Mordheim rules, we have a knockdown function where when your wounds are reduced to 0 you are incapacitated, and can do things like crawl at half movement, or have to spend a turn standing up. This again is in response to things like arcane bolt or abilities that just remove models from the game.

    3) Reduced ranged attacks: We are only allowing 1/4 of the models in your army to have ranged attacks. Again, helping to mitigate the feels-bad-sies that happens when you face a ranged list.

    I think that is about it, we wont be testing this format for another week and a half or so, but once we do I will make sure to post an update on what worked/didn't work :)

  9. That Skaven rumor from Hastings is enough to satisfy my gnaw-hunger for ratmens for months to come. Just knowing that something is potentially on the way for my favorite little ****** will get me through all the wonderful new stuff that is going to come out between now and then...
