Is that FLGS, GW stores or both?

I bet some of it, most probably the badges, will be given as a freebie if you pre-order direct from GW.

I am excited to try out the game and I will probably download the app if it is priced reasonably. I am really interested in the competitive cooperation the new game seems to be going for.

Well if you want to break the law that's up to you. Yes, that's right, if you make your own copies of the app contents that's every bit as much a breach of copyright law as just downloading a cracked copy of the whole app

There are lots of ways apps can be a useful addition to games providing the latter is not dependent on them, but a platform that seemingly exists mostly as a walled garden for microtransactions isn't one of them.

Regardless, agree to disagree I suppose since nobody is going to change their mind on this.

Im fairly certain its legal to make your own personal copies, the UK passed this law in 2014 "copyright and rights in performances regulations 2014"

This argument could be over anything really, so pointing the finger at app support is useless. I have gotten my wife spa gift cards just to see the spa go out of business before she used it.

Also I think its rather unrealistic to expect life long support for anything.

We got this by a friendly raven :

summer campaign

-taking place in realm of life
-your battle results will be logged at a GW Web Station (the computer you order from when at a GW Store) to prevent skewing results like Eye of Terror did
-it will shape the setting when they write up future campaign books

general's handbook

-units have a model count cap (max 10 models, or 20 models, etc. depends on the unit)
-you can only add models in "groups" (no points for individual models. example: add 5 liberators to your unit for X points)
-book will contain points for all models, and they'll be included in battletomes going forward (i don't know if it's definitive, i couldn't tell if he assumed that was what's going to happen or if he was told by studio guys)
-army organization is a mix of force org from 40k and the point-tiers from fantasy. for every X points in a game, you can have up to Y heros/wizards/monsters, etc.
-in Match Play, there's the "Rule of 1s", in that 1s always fail, limit named characters to 1 per army, and units you summoned cannot summon other units that turn
-weapon upgrades in units won't cost additional points.
-some missions in the book that are styled like LotR games, where you recreate a major battle with each player bringing an army determined by the rules, and such missions will be included in battletomes.
-narrative will have a lot of cool stuff to add to your games. magic items for your heroes to wield, new Path of Glory for all armies, new missions to run, etc.

future models

-in the general's handbook, there looks to be new sylvaneth models shown. i would take this with a grain of salt, as they could be very well done conversions, but from what i heard, there are models of aelfs whose limbs are turning into branches and plants, and new updated treemen (not treelords, the treemen who are bigger than branchwraiths but smaller than treelords)
-concept art shown of allariel riding what looks to be a giant rhino beetle? sounds interesting, possible future model? only time will tell
-Slaanesh is not dead. Models are supposedly finished and they're waiting to get things ready (box art, artwork for future books, production, finding a time to include in the story, etc.) studios rarely release models the second they are done, there's a lot of prep work behind the scenes.

sales numbers

-. AoS is now roughly 30% of sales. 40k is still outperforming by a large margin, but AoS numbers are healthy. what to take away from this is that AoS will continue forward, it's here to stay, there's no plans to go backwards on it.

Use Salt of course !!

/cheers.

That is what I feared and why I don't like SCGT comp. I guess they're going by unit box sizes.
And no point costs for weapon upgrades? Not looking forward to the General's Handbook right now.

Half price battlepacks sounds awesome. But the Seraphon one is showing as £8.99.. is that really half of it's original price? Compared to the contents of some other battlepacks, that seems rather steep.

Or maybe it's still too early

I see you've met Yodhrin. Welcome to DakkaDakka.

He is not wrong though. ever played an mmo that is now defunct?. it's the same. I have bought about 4 packs of cards for HS but Im also aware one day its going to go.

As said im only keeping the beastmen n ogre. if the other heroes are cool that may appear i may get one but i honestly doubt it. i don't like the male witch elf or the faceless wizard thing, the others are very meh. i might keep the sorcerer but probably not.

Age of Sigmar as 30% of sales is kind of surprising; even as a fan, I wouldn't have thought that sales were that high. If true, it does suggest that something is working.

Points going in boxed-set multiples is not very surprising to me. It suits the simpler nature of the game, especially given that individual upgrades are not as big a thing in this as in 40k. I don't know if other games on the market do it this way? It also makes a lot of sense if you consider the game to be trying to limit complexity in the rules.

New Slyvaneth models sounds pimp. I keep meaning to expand my Order Elves into Sylvaneth, as I love that Treeman model. Only problem is that he kind of doesn't synergise well with anything except a GW forest, and I've never seen that forest's warscroll actually used...

I believe AoS sales are largely due to them selling off old stuff rather than the newer figures honestly.

From the stores I have contact with its largely repackaged stuff that's selling really less so newer things.

Now saying this I do think WHQ will sell as will things that can fit into the old Warhammer world. Such as if they release new beastmen outside this box.

That could definitely be the case, but to double the sales figures of fantasy seems a large amount especially when you consider it was really a dying franchise towards the end. Are there really that many people who are buying up the old stuff for a dead game?
