So free rules, updated yearly, with community input - nice!

Potentially. But look what has become of Army Builders and quoting Formations and Point Costs for AoS since the "free" rules appeared?

They're all available for free on Scroll Builder, which will soon be supported directly by GW?

Intresting that the Imperial agents picture is the Drill Abbot from the Dark Heresy RP books.

The same picture was in Codex: Inquisition IIRC.

Cheers!

I am totally down with units getting their full rules published on a single page data sheet. We already have 'this shield works differently to that shield' with the two variants on 'this model is aligned to the god of blood' and three variants therein on 'this model gets hyper-aggressive in melee'. I've been playing most weeks for a year and STILL have to close my Codex to open my Rulebook and swipe pages until I find Rage or Rampage or Furious Charge.

I only hope Summoning does not turn out like Sigmar, with the risk being all in the success rate with hardly any way to trade safety for success. As a Word Bearer, having no way to throw all my WC into a Conjuration would be abominable. I shelved my Tomb Kings when their playing style got completely messed around.

Summoning needs a massive fix in Age of Sigmar, which I hope the GHB2 brings along.

We don't know how Psychic Powers, Warp Charges, and Summoning will even behave, so it's a bit silly to think of the new rules in line with how Conjuration and casting in general currently works. I hope the entire Psychic Phase and list of powers gets gutted, it's too bloated and filled with absolutely disgusting, broken stuff but then also useless crap that everyone ignores if they roll.

Tomb Kings were the one "summoning" army that got away with murder. :-p Banners, Heralds, etc... "added back" a unit, meant anything from Chariots to Necropolis Knights were essentially unkillable. My TK actually felt MORE fluffy, and terrific in AoS than they ever did in Fantasy. :-p

The feed is live.

I'm at work and behind a firewall that blocks facebook and twitch; any chance people can be awesome and summarize the Q&A points here?

I second this. I can't watch either. Stupid flash player.

I'd do it, but sadly I have no audio abilities and just my phone on me. I'll post screenshots if they show anything relevant.

I'm only seeing it on Facebook, not Twitch. Just a heads-up.

I'll do me best if others cannot

Starting now!

Nope, seems to be a bit late. Still offline on twitch

Andy and Pete are on stream now.

They've taken questions over the weekend, and then they'll pick some live.

Movement values are back.
Armour modifiers to all guns.
If you charges you strike first (details later)
Morale tests as per the Adepticon update.

No more vehicle armor values!

They work just as AoS monsters.

Vehicles will work like Monsters in AoS - wounds and decreasing ability while damaged.

Oh ffs, it's only on Facebook it looks like and as I don't have a FB account, it's interrupting every 30 seconds looking for me to login.

On the warhammer 40,000 site, in the War Zones section, it says of Armageddon that both sides are "utterly unprepared for the escalation to come". So it sounds like the storyline there might be advancing soon.

Vehicles don't have armour values - all models have the same stat line.

Vehicles will have damage tables as per AoS monsters/vehicles: as they take damage, Weapon use, Strength and BS will start to come down.

Armor Values have been removed. Vehicles get weaker as they take wounds, like in Age of Sigmar.

"Everybody can hurt everybody else in the game."

I am sure that will annoy some people.

Not sure how I feel about Las-Guns being able to harm a Leman Russ, no matter how hard it is.

A 1.5k point game should take 90mins to 2 hours to finish now.
