Just must ask a question about the Tomb King Alive rumour. Is there any idea that if it were true when it would be released? Day, Quarter of year, year?

Not a clue. that's literally all i was told. if i was to take a guess, i can't imagine it would happen until the elves were done at the very least as it would need a complete new range.

Based on the rumors out right now and the supposed release schedule that was leaked a while back, I would expect anything before Q3 of next year. Maybe later. If at all.

I agree with that assessment, it wouldn't make sense for them to start a whole new line before even finishing the current battletomes.

Is it wrong that I lay awake at nights hoping that sad panda will come on here and surprise us with some new and exciting news? I find it weird that we have deathwatch, chaos, eldar and steampunk duardin all rumoured for September but nothing at all for August.

In terms of historical fluff this is how it started, actually. All of the constructs in the Tomb King army were made and animated while the people of Khemri were still alive, as well as being maintained in their undead state.

Why bone though. It seems a poor construction material to me.

To keep existing models.

I thought I saw a new rumour saying that the steampunk duradin is in fact dwarves for Age of Sigmar and someone got mistaken for what they actually were.

Haven't heard that rumor. Though with all the "Order has too many factions" debates going around I wouldn't mind a dispossessed expansion, or something similar, rather than a whole new faction.

Haha, I know how you feel.

I remember the old "Bretonnians in April" rumors and how I stayed up until one a.m in the morning every week, watching the GW site for any updates.

I'm sure he'll pop up soon to give us something new to argue over and make theories about.

Haha, true.

I recall in the Gotrek and Felix novel that dealt with the Tomb Kings, there was one clan of kings that were master artificers and actually used new materials to replace damaged bones and structures.

I never considered living Tomb kings but with the Flesh-Eater court making ghouls alive again it certainly opens up possibilities.

The new paint sets have been pictured as well:





With the "easy to build" Retributors why do you think they included the Retributor Prime sculpt (with lion pauldron and gauntlet thing) rather than just the two vanilla Retributors? Seems a bit counter intuitive.

Not really. If you're buying 2 boxes you can use one of the retributors to upgrade to a Prime.

Also, cheers for the pics. Nice of them to throw in a 250ml pot of base coat rather than the piddly 12ml pots lol.

I guess I am looking at it more as an upgrade to the 3 Retributors in the AOS starter set to make a unit of 5, so having two Prime sculpts in the unit of 5 seems a bit odd. Then again that is me looking at it from my point of view rather than the pocket money purchase for young gamers that the sets are probably intended to be.

Yeah, not sure how much the 12ml will cover the 6 ROB board sections, even when just used for dry brushing.

Forge World updated their AoS stuff for Matched Play!

Check it out!

Since the generals handbook is officially out, did they add point totals to everything yet? If FW added points to theres I would assume items and battalions not listed in the handbook would be updated.

Lady Atia has pics from the Dominion of Chaos Battletome:

Hello all !!

First image of the dominion of chaos battle-tome (rules for scenery)
(Image are from Nick facebook, so thx nick !)

I still have no real idea how to use the scenery Warscrolls. They're not units and don't have points, can I bring them as part of the army? Or do we both just agree to put them down during setup? So annoying.

It seems like you just say "Hey I'd like to use these rules for the scenery". If both players agree, then the warscrolls are what you should be referring to instead of the random table.

That's the impression I've been given at least.

Same. I figure they are for use in narrative/fun games and not really for "competitive" play (too random). I expect that is how TOs will likely go, now that a viable competitive play system is out.

I had a dream last night that GW unexpectedly revealed a Tomb Kings re-release with all updated models in order to compete with KoW's Empire of Dust release. It's a longshot, but it wouldn't be the first time one of me dreams ended up coming true.

If you use a certain piece of scenery, say a Numinous Occulum, use its scenery warscroll. No different than using a hill or wall, it just happens to have extra rules.

Holy crap those are big bottles of paint. The big one is like... 20 pots, lol. WAY, WAY more than I'd use on 6x4 worth of game boards, incidentally. About 5-6 pots of paint should do it...

On the other hand $40 for effectively 23 pots of paint, I guess, is good, as long as you'll use a lot of one of the mega-dose colors. I'm thinking about getting the one with Dyrad Bark, and using that instead of Rhinox as my main brown.

I don't think I use enough mechanicus standard grey to merit 250ml. Then again, maybe I could mix a bunch of it with mediums and make a big dropper bottle for a lifetime supply of airbrush grey

Or, maybe, buy the big bottles, split it into little bottles, and share with your friends?

Interesting that the bigger bottles are said to be "high-opacity liquid" as well. Will be interesting to see how the talented painters (such as you Talys) will put it to use.

Thinking outside the box eh?

I have to say, the new big bottles are really nice shapes, and don't look too frustrating to deal with either. Expecting them to make more of them, or sell 'em separately.

PPC (sig) has you covered to bring terrain warscrolls as part of your army. And the points are compatible with Matched Play.

Speaking of, I'll have to get my hands on that new battletome to see if they've modified any of the warscrolls like they did with the Wildwood in the Sylvaneth battletome.

I really don't like to bring unofficial stuff into environments. Especially since I feel this game is still too fresh, I wouldn't want to confuse newer players. I will stick to the new Battletome for any points or anything for terrain features, since I think that will address them.

The pics for the paint sets don't work, can someone host them and post them?

It's not even a rumour. It's pure wish-listing. Nothing more.

Don't get your hope up and don't hold your breath.

Just right click on them and open them in their own tab.

Edit: Looks like they are up now!

I wish there were options other than grey/tan/brown. I get that it's just ground, but it's kinda blase.

Where was the rumour placing Steam Duradin in the next few months I must have missed this? I thought Tzeentch and Aelfs were next up for AoS? Mind you nothing rumoured yet for August- we should hear something soonish unless its Eldrad and some mates seeing as how he popped up.

Edit: Ah I see there is some mention on Naftka of Duardin/Squats- steampunk with blimps and rocket packs? I'll not hold my breath..

General's Handbook FAQ is out. I guess they got enough questions before release

Can't on iPad unfortunately, and still can't see them.
