Have GW published unit costs outside of the GH?
I.e. updated online warscrolls etc?

So GW just posted points for Silver Tower on FB... Except only for the heroes and bosses and none for the enemy units (Tzaangor, Acolytes, horrors, goblins etc). The reasoning is that the points system is made for larger units... Ignoring the fact that many people like myself bought multiple boxes for the sole purpose of using the units in AoS. They already released rules for these units but now refuse to release points until the inevitable Tzeentch Arcanites release, at which point I'll have bought tons of monopose Tzaangor and Acolytes for nothing because there will be box sets out for them at the same time that he points are released. And I won't be able to participate in the tournament in October which is the whole reason I started a Tzeentchian army.

DAMN IT GW

Well they did give them proxy points. I think that would count as being legitimate enough for tournaments.

Most likely they are saving their points for the tzeentch Arcanite release.

Painting tutorial for the new RoB boards

New video with Mr Rhodes, showing you how to paint the Shattered Dominion board. This particular tutorial refers to the Igneous Delta in the Realm of Fire (Aqshy).

Kiwi site has all the pre-orders up:

Have we heard anything about the battalions in the boxes?

What October tournament?

box sets are meh, but dude, those bases are ace

The bases are very cool. The Khorne box is quite enticing.

Good conversion fodder for 40K.

Actually this is probably good news. It makes me think that theTzeentch Arcanite book is coming soon. Maybe even in time for that tournament.And as mentioned the proxy points are official enough for the time being. I am certain you will be able to use them in the tournament.

Please remember, when we're quoting another user if we're just adding one line to it please don't include aaaaaaaaaall of their pictures in it. Thanks

A bloody good price on it as well, especially if you buy smart.

A 1000 point army for £80 (every box includes a battleline unit and a leader) if you buy online, dramatically increases the chance of new players giving Aos a go. It looks like they intend to eventually give every faction a box. I hope they all sell well enough to show Gw that this is the correct way forward.

I may end up buying the Silver Tower box. The Ogroid Thaumaturge is an amazing model that I'd like to actually use him in my Chaos army. And the game itself looks fun.

GG GW, you're getting me to think about buying a board game with your AoS rules. Nicely done.

Holy crap those are big bottles of paint. The big one is like... 20 pots, lol. WAY, WAY more than I'd use on 6x4 worth of game boards, incidentally. About 5-6 pots of paint should do it...

On the other hand $40 for effectively 23 pots of paint, I guess, is good, as long as you'll use a lot of one of the mega-dose colors. I'm thinking about getting the one with Dyrad Bark, and using that instead of Rhinox as my main brown.

I don't think I use enough mechanicus standard grey to merit 250ml. Then again, maybe I could mix a bunch of it with mediums and make a big dropper bottle for a lifetime supply of airbrush grey

Or, maybe, buy the big bottles, split it into little bottles, and share with your friends?

Thinking outside the box eh?

I have to say, the new big bottles are really nice shapes, and don't look too frustrating to deal with either. Expecting them to make more of them, or sell 'em separately.

I like the big bottles! But these are just not the colors that I go through gobs of, especially for regular paintbrush. I wish they had airbrush-premix jumbo size bottles of 200ml+ paint at ~ $40 for their all of their base paints and "really useful dark layer paints", like skavenblight dinge. And heck, Nuhln Oil and Agrax Earthshade. Aside from the cost savings, it would just be a nice format. I would really love it if they put airbrush fliptops like on the Vallejo 200ml. Those nubbed fliptops are really the best for airbrush.

I guess there is the slight problem that if you use up a whole lot of the paint, but not all of it, they'll probably dry up (like the 200ml Vallejo primers), but that's a problem I'm willing to own and solve for colors I don't use quickly enough.

So the Shattered Dominions ROB board comes in a box rather than the carry bag of the original ROB. Was this the case with the Sector Imperialis board as well?

I've had two Treelords and two boxes of Dryads on order at the FLGS for a couple few weeks now but he's been unable to get them in. Asked him to change my order to a pair of those Sylvaneth start collecting boxes.

When did the RoB boards go up to £200? I like the paint sets- those starter sets for bloodhound and storm casts are really good - add one on top of the start collecting boxes and you are good to go- especially with an online discount. The huge paint pots for terrain are good as well- would like to see those big pots sold separately.

Yeah so reading the extract to the lord of undeath it has neferata in it. I need this book now. Going by the extract it seems to be her story in the balance of power book in a novel form.

I wonder if there are more parts to it since I assume this is the final realm gate war book I think or there might be one more.

The battle board is so expensive. You could buy 4 6' x 4' gaming mats for the same price and fight in a different realm every week.

I don't get why GW don't move into the gaming mat market. Official themed mats sold limited edition with an army release would sell like hot cakes surely.

With the "easy to build" Retributors why do you think they included the Retributor Prime sculpt (with lion pauldron and gauntlet thing) rather than just the two vanilla Retributors? Seems a bit counter intuitive.

Not really. If you're buying 2 boxes you can use one of the retributors to upgrade to a Prime.

Having just got the Storm of Sigmar set, the 4 sprues in there are identical to the 4 being sold separately. one with 2 Liberators and a Prime, one with a Retributor and a Prime, one with 4 Blood Reavers and a Champion and one with 2 Blood Warriors and a Champion. To sell 2 Retributors without another Prime, they'd have to produce another sprue specifically for that.

Also of note is that the unit cards in SoS are actually really nice, they've each got a neat art print on the reverse side, adding something like this to other AoS products is definitely something I hope GW looks into as they're well produced and very cool.

Ridiculously expensive don't you think?

£6.50 48 colours of the similar quality paint, Dryad Bark - Burnt Umber - MSG - Paynes Grey - SLD - Raw Sienna?

The Khorne set is nice. Easily converted to 40k. Tempting for sure.

Especially when this and the 40k boards are so flat. Sure the detailing is very nice and being able to paint it however you want will be a plus point for some. But why make a hard plastic board with no 3D element to it?

Yeah I like the Battle Board in theory...but not at that price.

Mind you I have the old GW grass mat that was 40$ when it came out? Best gaming investment I ever made, lovely quality.

New starter set?

I see the Sigmarites that I've been using for a paint scheme on the cover! Yay!

That Tzeentch stuff they're fighting?

I figured a new starter set would have been with two new factions just as an excuse to get us all to buy it again, but what do I know?
