...the addition of a new command points system to a more strategic double turn.

This is going to be fun...

New edition dead to me in record time. Good job, GW.

Hyperbole aside, they kept a rule I thought is seriously bogus and introduced a rule from 40k that I also think is seriously bogus. If I had faith in GW's design team, this would be the place you'd read about how I hope everything will be wonderful in the end regardless. Sadly, though, I have no expectation of that happening now.

Yeah, not buying that. Why is neither Malign Portents or the Harbringers or new death models listed? Where is the other Malign Portents stuff as we've been told the event will be stretched over months? And why the slowdown in 40k codices? Nah, that's fake as all hell.

Four months back but still true.
Not buying the new AoS.

You might want to hold fire on that as this is not what you think it is

I am. I'll revise my opinion as more information gets released. (Edit: Provided there is cause for it, of course.)

Until that time, I'll go by what we have, which coupled with my very low opinion of GW's rules writers is not encouraging.

Started a thread to contain the images from Warhammerfest that I could find of the Stormcast and Nighthaunt.

Lets get some cool Skaven stuff! Warlord clans!

You got ghost skaven, what more could you want? Sheesh some people...

What are the odds we will see psychology rules and morale rules that are not just "remove more toys"? Please give me a reason to return when temting with pretty models :/

And they’re only slightly more ded than most Skaven!

Looks like these are possibly the boxed set's contents:

Now that is a "you know you want me" face. Utter smugness!

Wow. I thought a new edition was coming, but everyone told me no way. Glad to see it. Just got in the game like 3 months ago, but the excitement around new edition releases is the best. Can't wait. Watched the Night Haunt video. What the heck is the silhouette of that giant miniature in the back? Looks like a female(?) wizard with a staff, a headdress, on top of some huge giant beast? Possibly the narrator of the video?

She can breach my realmgate any age, if you know what I mean.

Pegging?

She probably also has a stunning statusque sister. Both will spitroast Geifer.

And the Sacrosanct Chamber and/or the Nighthaunts is how I got pulled in to AOS...

Loving the new models for the Stormcast and Nightguants.

Anyone else cracking up at that guys face?

He’s thinking “I wish I was on Dakka posting about great WFB was”.

There was a seminar about new video games, any news on that front?

I think the horn on the knight of shrouds horse is a rumour engine.

So could this be the beginning of WYSIWYG magic powers now?

I see this as the start of magical powers that last greater than one turn and which have a lasting effect on the table; thus making them far more attractive as a model instead of a one turn ability effect. We've had this before with spells like the Wood Elf summoning spell; but this seems like a wide spread approach to the idea.
Personally I like it; it make magic more of a thing on the tabletop not just something in the games stats and numbers. Plus it opens up the field for summoning spells and thus non-aligned creatures to appear in the game

Soul salvaging?

excited about the new enhaced rules. Hopefully it will make AOS more complex than mindlessly throwing dices hoping for 4+

The new minis are unfortunately not too exctiting. been there done that for the most part. Liked the death-construct style from the end time a lot more

Nah, just a Ghostbuster going AOS.

Such an otherwise gorgeous model ruined by that terrible tabard design...

I want more pics of those dinodog riders they showed on the video.

Thank you Overread. I never knew that.

Why aren't we discussing the most metal thing of this release?



They shoot maces! Friggin' mace launchers, man!

New technical paints for Nighthaunts

Oooh more technical paints

Looks several shades darker from that photo.
