Oh, I am only packed to the teeth with guns because this is a Freepeople's army! I have multiple skirmish warbands now and many of them have no shooting what-so-ever.
The main thing with AoS is the gun ranges are tiny now (those Handgunners only have a range of 16"), so they're not going to last long against something like Crypt Flayers which I know my opponent Ben is bringing as they'll be hurtling towards me at 12" a turn!
Also as you'll see later the battleplans for AoS Skirmish are great and encourage mobility just like the other AoS ones. Of course it's also important to have lots and lots of LOS blocking terrain.
I've got a Death Warband too, led by a Necromancer that includes a load of Skeleton Warriors so I would say they are a great choice (even if it's just to keep the Necromancer alive longer by taking his wounds). Spirit Hosts are the true gem though! :-)

Man, I wish I'd be able to catch the stream, but it's in the middle of my work day. Really looking forward to after action reports and more info on the skirmish game, though! Have fun, Bottle!

I think he means that preorder info has gone out to retailers, so it will go up on the site on Saturday.
£6 for the book is an impulse buy level price. A little disappointed there is no new scenery. I already have a couple of garden of morrs

Price brackets would put it at something like $10 for the Skirmish rulebook... 6GBP is the price for things like the "How to Paint: Deathwatch" book; it's $10 USD.

GW's still stuck in the "1.7 : 1" mentality, so the £40 sets will be $68-$70 and Mausoleum will be $85. And the mat will be $85 as well based on the other mat pricing.

Id assume they would make it 9.99 for the Book.
Im curious if the box sets for this are full boxes or just random amounts.
For Khorne set, its 149$ retail of stuff for 50$. Id buy a few of these...

I'm really curious as to those box contents. Worries me if it's too good of deal we end up with a Shadow War supply scramble.
Hoping the exalted deathbringer is the spear carrying one, as I'm missing him and he's gotten quite scarce around these parts.
If these end up being pretty heavily discounted (based on what those Khorne contents might be), it would've been a perfect opportunity to bundle up Fyreslayers into a manageable deal that people would have wanted to jump on.
Local FLGS said the price on the Fyreslayers has been the biggest hurdle for a lot of dwarf players. They like the sculpts, can't stomach the price.

NOT $50.
Most likely $70.
Several of the Start Collecting! sets are up to 50% off over buying separately, so I don't see why these sets would be any different.
My only speculation is that the Khorne set includes AoS Blood Warriors instead of the multipart ones. Or, it's just a tremendously good deal.

Hi Matt
Do you know what is in the Flesh Eater and Ironjawz sets? I'm more interested in Undead or Orks.

Im sure you most likely will be right, I was just converting 40 pounds to usd, which comes to 51.67 USD
I also hope it is the Spear deathbringer as I need him also

As silly as it might sound, don't do straight conversions for the GBP to USD price.
GW has "price brackets" that they use in lieu of conversions, since currency conversions fluctuate a bit.

Balance in pick up games? Two people, each with their own goals for the game, design half a board game on their own without knowing the layout of the board and hope it all works out. Good luck with that. The faster you can find like minded individuals who want the same things from the game as you, the better. |

Gun down the flayer first and you'll have good odds I think. With it's mobility and fly it can get into your face and has the best ability to assassinate your wizard, with it out of the way you can focus on the ghoul king. Leave the horror for last since it will be the most resilient and also drops notably in effectiveness once the king is dead.

Current rumor of contents
Khorne:
5 Blood Warriors
5 Wrathmongers
1 Aspiring Deathbringer
Stormcast:
3 Liberators
2 Retributors
3 Prosecutors
1 Knight-Questor
Ghouls:
20 Ghouls
3 Horrors
Ironjawz:
5 Ardboyz
5 Brutes
1 Wierdnob Shaman
my take:
the Blood Warriors would be recut AoS Starter models, as the 10-man box set is 10 dudes and options across three sprues. It's not like five models, twice.
the Stormcast models are almost certainly recut AoS Starter models, or at least the Liberators and Retributors. The Prosecutors may be the full kit.
