Briefly mentioned on the last page, but it was announced on Warhammer-Community.
Remember Warscroll Builder?
Is going to be official now, with Tony Pacheco (the creator) working alongside GW:

Don't think so, it's probably just colored plastic like the models from the Blood Bowl/Space Hulk kits. And the models probably come in 2-4 pieces each, and are push fit. You can tell the bases are seperate from the models feet. The Blood Bowl models were extremely easy to put together so I its understandable they went in that direction for a game like this.

If they are multi pieces models, it's obvious that they are not PVC. My mistake

Shadespire: A tactical small-scale combat game with proprietary dice and cards. Is GW trying to be FFG? All we need now is more tokens than there are cells in the human body and it might as well be. Also, didn't GW just announce their own paid army maker for AoS? Starfarer wrote:Im not sure many people have disputed that 40k rules were likely heading the way of AOS. In fact, I think a lot of people have been actively hoping for it. Not sure why youre trying to conflate the fact they aren't blowing up the setting with rules changes. Can we not just enjoy the fact GW are previewing new releases without having to invent something to be upset about?
Nah bruv, I'm pretty sure a lot of people said that GW wouldn't AoS 40K, which appears to be exactly what they're going. As for the setting, that's End Times. They're End Times-ing 40K and AoS'ing 40K. Two different things. And yes, I'm very surprised that they're previewing tons of things. For year and years and years and YEARS I've been lambasting GW's insane secrecy, and whilst there were some legitimate reasons behind it (of which I am swan to secrecy due to who at GW told me about them), their inability or just general unwillingness to engage with the hobby at large whilst pretending that they were a HHHobby in and of themselves is one of their greatest failings. It was made all the more galling when they kept everything hidden whilst BL and FW showed off tons of upcoming stuff. Their refusal to participate in trade shows and conventions was insane, but they have turned that corner and seem to have embraced it in a way that even puts the days prior to the Kirby Kurtain to shame. Now they've just to to treat their IP licensing as an avenue to enhance their brand (and their sales) and not just a hands-off method of revenue generation. Time releases to go with major licensed products (DoWIII perhaps?) and be a little more discerning with who you throw the latest video game license at and they can really start to grow again. The fact that we never got miniature releases around the DoW games makes no sense to me, especially given how many people DoW brought to GW. They appear to be missing the boat once again with DoWIII and that's sad. They need to capitalise on these things - strike whilst the thunder hammer is hot, so to speak - then they truly will have grown as a company (or at least emerged from hibernation). In the meantime though, they're AoS'ing 40K. If we see weapon profiles that have set To Wound values regardless of the target type, then I'm done...

Old fantasy had movement characteristics and armor save modifiers. AoS bravery system works more like old fantasy than 40k's morale system. Do we hate old fantasy now all of a sudden or something?
When you use AoS like a verb, what exactly do you mean? It seems to be a catch all for anything people don't like. Change is scary, I get it, but can you slow the hell down and wait for the actual rules to come out before we cry panic in the streets?

I wouldn't worry about that... if GW's previous history with army builder software is any indication, it will be obsolete by the time it is released and never receive any updates anyway.

Old 40K had armour save modifiers and movement characteristics as well... I'm not sure what point you're making here.
When you use AoS like a verb, what exactly do you mean?
It's generally used to mean simplifying the rules to a similar level to that found in AoS.
Whether or not that has negative connotations will obviously depend on your opinion of the AoS rules.

.
Even better, we're going back to previous editions of 40k as well. And those are mechanics that are the opposite of simplifying, they're additions to the system. Isn't that in direct contradiction to the whole 'AoSing 40k' thing?
The point I'm making is this stuff that's been around a while and its return shouldn't be seen as the end times for a game system. We should wait and see the full changes first.

Not at the presentation, no. The brief summaries like weapons affecting armor saves and assaulters striking first in close combat have already been covered. No dates given, but they said we would be using these rules by the next AdeptiCon. So...this summer is my bet.
Edit: the video 1 post up was at the presentation and funny. The post is a great overview of what we saw.

These new changes are making me super excited. I wonder if the implementation of ASF in 40K will work with unwieldy weapons like PK? Orks finally getting to hit first is going to be a godsend and make us feel like we can actually do something in CC again without losing half of our guys before hitting home.

Given that AoS in its initial form was ludicrously open to abuse by WAAC-type players, I suspect that you may have misunderstood who 9th Age was for...

...Which is funny, since AoS while in its current state is a much more competitively friendly and viable ruleset than WHFB has been in a very long time (ever?), its original launch was nothing but a playground for the most rancid of cheeses.
