It's not silly, the core rules still allow spells to be cast multiple times by different wizards, and this FAQ is for the core rules. What you're talking about are the optional Pitched Battle rules.

"Optional" lol, like anyone is going to play non-pitched battle games now that it exists.

The new points/rules for pitched battles make the game fun again. No more shenanigans, no more wracking your brain on how to have a fun even match. Actual strategy and limitations breeds fun games, this wide open crap was a pain in the butt.

And for 25 bucks, that is a perfect price point.

Gorgeous models, nice kits, a sound rule set, and actual information leading up to a release. Sounds good to me.

Also, those of you mentioning "pubic vines", get a life/sig other, if you think that's what pubic anything looks like you haven't been out much.

And did anyone else have issues downloading the new White Dwarf?

I've been trying since Saturday and it won't go. I can read my back issues though.

I really hope GW sees the price banding for these models, coupled with their major sales, and sets this as the standard for future releases. It would do a ton to help bring people into the game.

I'm not sure if this was mentioned already, though I find it odd that Generals Handbook is contains new units for Bonesplittas and Beastclaw Raiders but nothing for any of the factions rumored to be getting the next big updates.

Specifically I think I remember both SadPanda and Atia saying that Tzeench was getting a lot of stuff around the same time as Warzone Fenris 2 this fall, but both the Arcanites and Daemons sections only list the existing units. Not to mention the Steamhead Duardin which Atia had suggested might be late this year or early next year, and I would assume have started production by now.

It could be that Bonesplittas and Beastclaw Raiders had their production started before the Generals Handbook, but it then begs the questions of how these releases slipped under the radar and why Sylvaneth was able to release before them but still have the new Handbook style additions?

Season of War Campaign: Week 1 - A Clash of Battlelines
Here it is, the first battle plan for the Season of War campaign. Ready your troops to either defend or attack The Living City. Starts on the 14th July 2016.

This battle plan is all about picking the right units for the job. Of course as this is narrative, the battle plan asks you to pick a force as per the AoS rules. But why not integrate the matched play points system? As this is an escalation campaign, below is the way I would adapt this campaign to be more competitive and probably a little more fun to play. Of course this is only my opinion and you should adapt it to how you want to play, unless your lazy... then just use mine.

The Armies:

Player choose their armies as described in the Generals Handbook, Pitched Battles, I recommend 1000pts (Varanguard). Each army must consist of at least 3 Battleline units and no more than 2 behemoths and 2 artillery. You should only choose units from the same Alliance.



The Battlefield:

This battle takes place on the outskirts of the city, in Player A's deployment zone, set up a fortress wall and a few ruins. In Player B's deployment zone, set up woods and rivers.

Set-Up:

Battline Units must be deployed first alternating between players and must be set up in the players Front Line at least 3" away from the enemy. All other units must be set up in the players territory.

Only Battleline units can be classed as reinforcements and the added command ability can only affect battle line units.

Once you have played the battle plan, post up the results to this site, give a small battle report to go along with it, if you want to add some narrative as well all the better.

Of course the other way to score points for your Alliance is to post up a blog showing pictures of a completed painted war scroll.

Remember this directly affects the timeline of The Age of Sigmar! Good Luck!

Or that's just a man with small hands.

I suspect devoted of sigmar are in the pipeline somewhere considering a hint GW dropped on facebook with the release of sliver tower. Funny enough in the summer campaign fluff it's the devoted that are cleansing the surrounding lands of nurgle's corruption.

I just find it extremely shoddy to explain that the humans looks like the empire of old because Sigmar told the people about his once great kingdom (that he wasnt really around for to witness). So unless he had a picture book, and told everyone what Italian, Swiss guard and the renaissance looked like, I find it impossible for them to, in a nut shell, be exactly the same as before. Just my grievance for wanting a human faction to be solid and represented in splendor.
