Sculpt on some boobs, drop in a female head and bam.. Sisters of Sigmar.. bwahahahahaha :(

The flying guys are blurred out but. Pity

Hooray, the scans reveal there is a limit on army building!



Now, how many Bloodthirsters can you fit in a 12x48" deployment area?

"The Most Important Rule
In a game as detailed and wide ranging as WH-AoS, there may be times when you are not sure how exactly to resolve a situation that has come up during play. When this happens have a quick chat with your opponent and apply the solution that makes sense to you both. If no solution presents itself, roll a dice... highest decides what happens"

It makes sense that with 4 whole pages of rules, sometimes those little details in the rules become overwhelming and confusing

Nice find! Can't wait to read the 96-page thingy!

1. So the mount is called a "dracoth". Definitely not a giant cat.

2. Looks like bound spells still exist in a form. "The Lord-Relictor carries a glorious reliquary to raise high above the ranks of his men - within it is locked energy that can rouse fallen Stormcast Eternals from death, or sap the enemy of their life essence."

Oh look a pre-existing thing that they could have used and I would have bought tons of them. But nope no girls allowed.

Fun fact: there are no "normal" terrain features anymore!

You know what excites me the most?.. THE WHIPPY STICKS ARE BACK!!!

Some really nice models. Plenty of conversion fodder for Chaos Warriors on both sides.

The rules are what we suspected they are. Take your new toys, put them on the table and game away.

If there's one thing I hate more than anything on this Earth, then it's starter sets without a painting guide included!

Oh sweet mother of Sigmar

From my reading thus far, it seems that Warscrolls are just the Fantasy equivalent of 40K Dataslates.

I hope I'm wrong, but is that sudden death rule turning out to be a load of gak?

It says that if your opponent outnumbers you by a third, you get a sudden death condition.

By the letter of the rules, 10 bloodthirsters are outnumbered by 100 Brettonian peasants

I'm not familiar with dataslates. Is this good or bad?

All models are described by warscrolls, which provide all of the rules for using them in the game. You will need warscrolls for the models you want to use.

Models fight in units. A unit can have one or more models, but cannot include models that use different warscrolls

So models and units are not the same thing?

If I understand this correctly, units may have no size limit (as rumored). But to add more models to a unit, you need more warscrolls... since "you will need warscrolls for the models you want to use"

I don't know. We still need to see what warscrolls look like.

Oddly, if this has any kind of balancing mechanic I could love this. Simple, fast, easy, still based on units so it can play quick. Seems they do have unit types based on the victory conditions so there is still some hope.

Nope, you are reading that correctly.

Units can have any number of models.

There are no points on the Warscrolls.

There is no balancing mechanic.

Actually, to be fair, game-wise I think the only people who look like they will be happy with this are those sat on the floor, dribbling, holding the sticks and saying "HUR HUR whippy sticks!!"

Some of those miniatures look gorgeous, very stylised. But, if the game is a rotten dog, It's going to be a Porsche with a mis-firing three cylinder, 1ltr engine (to paraphrase GW's own analogy).

But Sigmarite? Guys seriously?

50 Bloodthirsters are outnumbered by 100 Brettonian peasants. Get 3 of them to an objective by turn 4, and you win!!!!

We haven't seen a warscroll yet, have we?

The best one is the survival one. Watch in awe as the mighty array of dragon riders spend 6 turns hiding in corners and running away from the horde of night Goblins, then somehow win because... errm... They weren't tabled? VICTORY!

That or the 'kill a unit of more than 5 models' one. Marvel as 10 Bloodthirsters go after a unit of clanrats and wipe them out, pulling a shocking turn-1 victory from the jaws of... Equally certain victory! Hooray!

I agree with you.

I feel like adding a force org and getting rid of the sudden death victories are two easy things that any tournament organizer is going to do.

Alternatively, as we talked about previously, adding points to each Scroll would be an easy way to take GW out of the balance equation and make a slick game.
