    Yeah, the factions/people in AoS need to label themselves just as much as gen z. The biggest fear of all inhabitants in the Mortal Realms aren‘t foul monsters but not very clearly belonging to the same god as everyone else in their alliance and doing their own thing. It‘s like high-school!

    Bretonnians vs Tomb Kings guarantees it's the obligatory tie-in novel to the new boxset then.

    Somehow I doubt it will be of high quality in that case, since them being decent is usually the exception (Soul Wars, Dominion) to the rule (all the others, including Cthonia's Reckoning).

    I'm not excited about the lack of the colours of the Winds of Magic, unfortunately.

    It may just be my reading comprehension failing, but I didn't see anything about a limit on how many spells a wizard can cast, so can a wizard just cast every spell they know each turn?

    It's based on your Wizard Level. So a Level 4 Wizard will be able to cast four spells, and so on.

    Magic rules preview.

    Quote

    That’s not to say that there aren’t lores – there are eight in the core rulebook alone, each representing a particular approach to the study of magic: Battle Magic, Dark Magic, Daemonology, Elementalism, High Magic, Illusion, Necromancy, and Waaagh! Magic. Most mages will have access to two or more of these, selecting one Lore at the start of each battle.

    Grail Knights preview next week, of all things.

    So they still do battle odes? What was the last one? 

    I think the army boxes have taken over now. 

    Wrath of the Soul Forge King, which was in March...?

    To be fair in the time between then and now it was the new edition launch, so not too surprising we haven't seen another Versus Box.

    'Eavy Metal interview about Flesh-Eater Courts. Again, some interesting stuff in there.

    One of the traps we tried not to fall into was treating the skin as a uniform almost because that then goes against the whole idea that they were once humans. There might be subtle variations between different Archregent’s courts or differences between courts across the Mortal Realms, but overall it should be the same curse, and it should have a unified effect.

    I'm wondering if they have moved the scope of the game from Empire during the civil war, including Kislev as a major player, like way the old Tamurkhan campaign worked.

    Instead they're now focusing on getting the old discontinued armies with no support in AOS like Brets and TK back, with a couple of new sculpts but then re-releasing older sculpts. 

    Presumably this approach will get them a much larger player base quicker, but personally I was most looking forward to new sculpts and background for Kislev. 

    My guess is they're viewing TOW as a very broad setting with different dates they can yoyo around in.

    IE Rather than AoS or post-8th 40k where you're very definitely playing in the 'modern day', they might drop TOW books taking place decades or centuries forward or backwards from the initial starting point of the War of Three Emperors. 

    I think the reason we heard anything about Kislev was just because the cat was out of the bag due to Total War, but was probably never planned to be the initial focus of TOW.

    Does anyone know how popular Necromunda is? I have never met anyone that plays it, but that could just be the local scene.

    In my experience Necromunda is one of those weirds games where you don't so much people play it on the regular, as somebody will say "Hey who wants to do a Necromunda campaign for a few weeks?" and then people go out and buy everything for a new gang project/idea they've had (one of several usually) and then after that campaign, it will go into storage for a few months or a year, until it comes back around again.

    It's not a game you see people 'pick up and play' at their local, there's almost always a more organised effort around it - in that respect it's not far off a DnD campaign. 

    From what I've heard it is a good seller.
