Human wizards look a bit smaller but not terribly so , so same for necromancer, but the cultists are mutated so probably right scale

**Manfred von Drakken**

So, I saw this little comment on their Facebook page today:

https://photos.google.com/search/_tra_/photo/AF1QipP5EMy2QXMnqp72FQp08-k8mWtdUHgkHn2xCgA

(Wish I could figure out to make it an image that shows up...)

**Baron Klatz**

The link doesn't work for me. Was it the response to Dave that more stuff is on the way for the alliances?

(I know what you mean about using images, still a mystery to me too except for Photobucket.)

**Manfred von Drakken**

Nope. In response to a comment about a fight between the new SE hero and a Necromancer not being remotely fair, they asked if NEW ZOMBIES (emphasis theirs) would help make things more even.

**NinthMusketeer**

Gosh GW needs new zombies.

Note the "new zombies" comment is not from/by GW.

Cultists are what I'm worried about the most. Don't like cannon fodder idiots looking impressive next to my guys.

Btw found a New Silver Tower copy for $77 equivalent, some price.

The cultist tower over old Empire models. I have held them side by side, the cultists being a head taller at least.

**NinthMusketeer**

Tbf any time chaos marader-equivalents show up in the fluff they are described as being large people, towering over the common man.

**Baron Klatz**

Very true, not really cannon fodder types.

The Grot scuttlings and lesser daemons better fit the nuisance enemy archetype.

Awesome deal you got on your game btw, Plumbumbarum!

**Plumbumbarum**

Yes I'm happy with the price really. Don't like the scale thing because I really want it as old world heroes entering a chaos tower but in the end, I can even play with the Stormcast/ the dwarf as well. I'm not crazy after all heh.

**Plumbumbarum**

It comes tommorow and I'm pretty hyped for it, despite a pretty exciting itself high mountain trip on friday. Funnily enough, when reading the first 50 pages of this thread to hype myself up I found this little gem:

Is this still a thread to whine about Silver Tower?

Because I wanted to buy one and replace some minis with wfb ones but then I saw it in RL. It turns out that I only want sumoneer and tzaangors, it so much reeks of AoS. I don't like the heroes except the barbarian a bit maybe, hipster dwarf is worst but all are busy and weird. Ogroid Thaumaturge looks like something straight from Warcraft etc.

Not buying.

I got some serious flak for supposedly posting random bs just to bash AoS etc. In your face guys, can post you a pic kissing a box art Knightor Questor Stormcastor Excelsior Monumentor for you

Was a bit dissapointed for a while about that scale thing but decided to just treat Silver Tower as a separate thing and not mix Old World into it. Turns out I need style coherency in my games, Silver Tower has a problem with that anyway imo mixing old and new (horror/ skaven vs thaumaturge look different styles a lot) but it's predominantely AoS and I'm going to let it be. If there's one thing AoS fits, it's heroic quests in crazy towers.

Anyway, I have a question for people who played it a lot, how tactical is it? My expectations are set on not much, I want a fun party game and have enough head scratchers but am curious. Thanks.

**Manfred von Drakken**

It's pretty tactical, in my opinion. In addition to your own action dice, there are 'community' action dice. Plus, with rotating turn order, there is a fair bit of planning that goes into deciding what you're about to do.

Unless you're the dwarf; then, it's pretty much just run in and hit things in the face.

**Requizen**

Not sure if it's really "news", but if you check out the Lord-Veritant Warscroll on the app, it's different from the one on the website. It clarifies that he can only unbind one spell per turn. Good to see that they're using the "living codex" to do real time errata-ing, if nothing else.

From the Warhammer Age of Sigmar FB page:

Big news for Matched Play fans today: the tickets for the first heat of the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Grand Tournament are on sale now.
This is the return to a classic format of tournament, and we are expecting tickets to sell out really, really fast, so don't hang around if you want to join us.

If you can't make it over to Warhammer World for the event though, don't panic. Warhammer TV will be covering the action live, so you can follow the top-tables of our premier Matched Play event from the comfort of your own home – what an age we live in.

**NinthMusketeer**

I'm betting on Kunnin' Rukk pulling a win, saying it now.

**Smellingsalts**

Kunnin Ruck has a fatal flaw, kill the Savage Orruk Warboss and it stops the bleeding. There are plenty of armies now that can assassinate a given model, most notably the Stormcast Eternals.

In the months since the release of the General's Handbook, the game of Warhammer Age of Sigmar has gone from strength to strength. Covering three ways to play - open play, narrative play and matched play - this book is the trusty companion for thousands of Warhammer Age of Sigmar gamers the world over.

But these new rules were always intended to evolve as time went on, so now, we're looking to the people who use them most for help (that's you, the players).

What would you change about, or add to, the General's Handbook?

Let us know in the comments below, whether it be the narrative Battleplans, the points for Warscrolls or Battalions, Path to Glory campaign rules, the Three Rules of One, or anything else, and we'll send all your ideas on to the team writing the new book.

**shinros**

Wow this is awesome.

**Hulksmash**

GW going from strength to strength now that they started rolling with AoS.

**Chikout**

Yup. An annually updated generals handbook is exactly what people were asking for. Now for some new battletomes.

**RoninXiC**

Yeah, "obviously" they were always meant to be changed. OBVIOUSLY.

**Requizen**

Yessssssssssss

So AoS and 40k have completely different teams, right? Because while 40k has improved lately (FAQs, showing up at tournaments), the AoS team is feeeeeeeeeeeeething amazing.

Time to compile a list and write up some stuff. I can't think of anything major that I'd like changed right now (other than maybe nerf the Destruction trait

) but I'm just so glad they're being this awesome.

**Vorian**

I wonder exactly what they could announce that wouldn't get a snarky comment within 10 replies?

Surely asking for player feedback is just a good development.

**unmercifulconker**

There aint no stoppin this GW train.

**auticus**

I love that they are looking for feedback.

I love that they are going to update this thing annually.

I was a bit disappointed to see how the "official or nothing" crowd weren't happy enough with base to base measuring being an optional rule and wanting it to be the only rule.

I was a bit disappointed to see that people want to go back to paying model by model in points (i like being able to create an army list in 30 seconds without having to have an excel sheet or calculator doing minute calculations)

I threw up in my mouth at the number of people on the fb comments clamoring for summoning giving back free points again and how they needed to let you spam summon spells again.

**Albino Squirrel**

I'd really like to see Path to Glory balanced a little better, and also expanded to cover more factions and allow more choices. If I want to play undead, I have to pick a sub-faction and am limited to a single hero type and three unit types. But Chaos has a huge variety of options.

**curran12**

My biggest hope is some clarity on a couple of warscrolls. I still haven't found anyone who can explain the value of the Ebondrake Warhost's "command ability" thing yet.

**Starfarer**

So I'm a total AOS noob, but was looking to try to get a few friends into it with a Path to Glory campaign. Do they have the full rules for that in the General's Handbook then? I bought the first part for list building in digital format, but if the full campaign is available in book form, I'll probably pick that up.
