No, it's a way of killing more models in a system that already had to much focus on killing models over tactical gameplay.
While accepting that 40k is a game rather than a simulation, it makes absolutely no sense for failing a morale test to result in models falling over dead.
They don't fall over dead. They run away. There are lots of abilities you can use in AoS to mitigate the effects. Rerolls if the unit is near the general for example. I am sure some of the details will be different in 40k but it is a rule which makes you chose your battles more carefully.

Usually Bravery isn't an issue until later in the game, or if you really get knocked on your rear. There are so many ways to nullify, or mitigate Bravery Losses that it's more clean than having to worry about whos' falling back because they got shot in the face and who's rallying way out of position.
Besides, we don't know if it will work EXACTLY like it. Hell, Commanders and the like might adjust the leadership/bravery of all units around them.

Oh my! DEATHGUARD! I knew they were coming but I wasn't banking on them being here so soon!
Any chance they mentioned a timetable for that release??
I was very excited by the Kharadron release, but this... I've been wishing for a plastic 40K deathguard since 2001... I'm so happy! Please, please let us know more if they disclose more glorious Deathguard info. Thank you good sir!

The model is also a lot thinner compared to the stormcast using the two handed hammer.

Yeah, maybe. Although AOS apparently plays really fast compared to 40k. I could do with some shorter games and I think GW has earned some of their credibility back over the last year - enough to let me trust them to make 8th Ed a needed improvement to the game.

You mean like how you lose an entire unit if they're caught in a sweeping advance? It's pretty hard to lose models to battleshock in AoS with leadership 8+.

Yeah I'm honestly not convinced on it, or the 40k rules hints. The latter really depends on implementation and they didn't give us much to go on. Nice that they're actively talking to and listening to the community and event organizers, though!

There are none sigmar is an equal opportunity employer Josh reynolds has said some chambers are only single gendered or mixed and in the new stormcast battle tome someone said a war chamber has a pretty female name it began with daughters and I think the last bit was Arcadia? The tempest lord background is sigmar raising a whole noble house men and women.

How much can you judge from picture. Card building mixed with wargame is a cool concept. The sculpts look very dynamic. As this is a core set I am sure more races will come. If the price is reasonable (under £40) and impressions are positive, I will buy it.

Well, we don't really know what all changes they're going to make, so maybe other changes will keep models on the board for longer.
This change is trading have individual models break and run rather than whole units. Whole units was pretty cinematic, but I can see how this might speed things up.
