So forgive my potential over-simplification of the issue but, wouldn't a lot of the issues with regard to save stacking, 3+ save capping and rend distribution be fixed by simply re-implementing a toughness value as an extra tuning nob? I'm not advocating for an old S/T chart, but an implementation of the newer streamlined toughness system of 40k and Warcry. Of course this would require a complete re-write of all existing battletomes and core rules, but maybe its a way forward for 4th edition. I personally don't think it would add excessive bloat or complexity, it would simply add another (much needed imo) tuning nob to solve some of these existing issues. Thoughts?

Oh sorry for the confusion, you are indeed correct, the prime does add +1A. I was looking at the warscroll for the Judicators in the new AoS app and it doesn't have the champion/prime option, yet the Judicators with crossbows do, guess it's just another bug in the new app Looking back at the screenshots of the new hard copy battletome, Judicators with bows do indeed have a prime option.

Apologies if this had been discussed already, but what is the current consensus on Judicator shockbolt bows? I heard Vince discussing them on the latest Warhammer weekly and he said to never take them as they are now worse than the normal bow in every way, and it seems he's correct. It appears if you roll a 1 you will end up with less shots than a normal bow, making it almost not worth it. Is this an oversight on GW's part or intentional? If they had the option for a prime that added 1 attack it would make it worth it, what are your guys thoughts?

Just when we thought 1" range on Namarti Thralls couldn't get any worse...

Ok now with Indomitus out and sold out, let's hope we can get back to some AoS/Warcy news and not another 2 - 3 weeks of "now with Indomitus up for preorder let's explain even more about it every day for the next 3 weeks." Where's my AoS 3.0... 😆

As @Icegoat said, these are the new design of "fully customisable kits," gone are the old style. I for one prefer the new design of "customisable" kits. Gone are the days of the old fully adjustable arms, heads, waists, leg style kits and whilst those old kits were technically more "adjustable," they ended up with awkward unnatural posing under the guise of being "more customisable." Whilst the new design of kits don't give you this level of adjustability, I prefer the new designs by a significant margin. Take for example the Namarti units, just enough options to change heads, weapons and minor pose adjustments, whilst still maintaining some incredibly dynamic and realistic posing.

They also mention that the sentinel and warden champions are not limited to the spells on their warscrolls. Apparently they can take additional spells which is interesting.

Not really sure whats going on with Eltharion not having the wizard keyword, I'm sure one of the many Warhammer Community articles mentioned him as a spell caster. Another minor annoyance with the range is, now that we have the full 3D images on the GW website for the Wardens, they all appear to have a sheathed sword on their backs, yet the warscroll only allows the unit champion to use a sword.

Well the Stormcast Exorcism Soulstrike Box is £110, but it's $310AUD, I'd hazard a guess, especially with the recent price hikes, that it'll be $310AUD.

The Ruination Chamber, though no one really knows what it entails, I think the siege specialist idea is just speculation at this stage.

A Devoted of Sigmar army would be awesome to see and not overly far-fetched considering most of that range was scrubbed. Though if it is a new chamber, I welcome it! the warrior chamber has basically been made redundant by the sacrosanct chamber and the current battletome has done nothing to bring them in line, though I still have a soft spot for the paladin models. Now the sacrosanct chamber, whilst the models look awesome, they have grown a little stale and it's tiring seeing the same one competitive shootcast list over and over. Bring on the new power creep hotness!

Well if Hollywood/Games Workshop ever make a decent Warhammer film, they know who to cast 😆 Could totally see him as an Astartes.

So what's everyone's opinions of the total range, do we think this is all there is? Does anyone else think Tyrion is still to be revealed within the range?

All of the limited edition battletomes have the 'Grand Alliance' missing from the front.

That's exactly what I was thinking 😆
