I have a pretty decent army of Stormcast, just from buying the original starter set, and blightwar. If this is what is really in the new set, that's great! I don't see myself playing undead, but I like the models.

It would be cool if they cast the sold separately from the starter box undead in a transparent plastic, as you could do some cool painting stuff with that, and it would give a reason to buy them separate from the boxed starter, or as bits.

Been out the loop a bit recently! New edition is looking fantastic though. Any rumours of what's to come after the Nighthaunt/Stormcast? Or anyone got any guesses for fun?

Darkoath, Slaanesh and some goblin of gobbo/greenskin faction (sky gobbos please) are the main rumours. Not in that order.

Warhammer Community confirms base to base measuring and a document of recommended base sizes will be posted on the release of the new edition.

Yeah. Honestly they should have lead with the base to base measuring. Its a welcome piece of sanity overwriting some of the dumber decisions of AoS 1.0.


Though they should have made an official call on round bases as well, not just a list of recommendations. I get why they didn't (having debased more than once) , but it leaves the rules open to gripes about corner cases.

GW has never dictated base sizes or shapes outside 3rd edition WHFB, not even in 40K which is generally considered their most competitive game (they seem to share that sentiment as well, treating AoS as more casual). Just seems to be something they are not interested in doing.

6th edition specified base sizes, largely based on unit type and Unit Strength.

So, 54 models apparently for Soul Wars : the picture from last page + Invocator and Guardian of Souls

WD leaks on Facebook right now.

(Can we post leaks here ?)

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!

Gotta say, that's a rather sexy looking cover.

Edit: Ok, whether the rulebook was included or not was a decider for me if I got the box, that answer is now a yes. Also, that's a big ass box for the Malign Sorcery set.

For some reason I had assumed the new general's handbook stuff would be part of the 2nd edition rule rulebook. Guess I'll have to choose between one of them now.

OH MY SIGMAR

That was one card insert in White Dwarf, which was never reprinted. It was missing one or two models and was out of date the next month as soon as something new was released.

Warhammer Community update

Those not-shadespire model look pretty coool.

Cost? Is that known?

not yet, but its probably the same as the 40k starter

And... all the spells come in a box with cards and a rulebook.

I just want the spells.

I wonder if they will be some of the next wave of Shadespire models?

Model : 25US$

Cards : 15US$

Truly a new fantastic way of selling, now people who don't want the model can be happy.

After fully watching the contents and news I can only do one thing.

The Myrmourn Banshees are gorgeous.

well, fear not : we have 2 weeks to not eat nor spend a penny. From today I'm eating only stolen bread from the cafeteria.

really like the new night haunts (the sc are atrocious as always, bar the chocobo rider). don't like that they release even more push fit outisde the main box. I really hope that these undead flying dogs wil have a real kit. Would be a shame if they don't since they are the coolest units of the new release, and it would suck if you have to field them looking like clones

The new spells are really interesting, but I would have like them to be restricted by alliance. Wonder what the price will be. Probably around the cost of the main box. Seems like AOS stopped being the cheap alternative to 40k. If you want to have all of the rules (core rule book,Malign sorcery and General Comepdium), It probably will cost at least 300$


But I must say Good job to GW. Finally AOS is starting to look like a real game (there seems to be a ton of fluff included in the main book) and not Fisher Price my first Wargame

Good lord, that release weekend is going to be expensive. I think I want it all!!!

...

...

Anyone in need of a kidney?

First look at new Mortarch?

Well, I'll happily concede those might not be Shadespire models. Though previously, my argument was only that their bases are sculpted, not regular, which does still look to be correct.

Anyone else getting Wrath of the Lich King vibes from that video? "Arthas my son, I always wanted you to be Stormcast"


Also...GW have hit it out of the park, this is better than Deepkin....AoS has such an edge in recent releases compared to 40k it's not even funny. Primaris? Pfft, look at those ghosts!

Is there any leak picture of the WD with the price of big box?

That is going to be one epic release!

I'm also really liking the direction they are taking spells; having magical effects and summons on the battlefield makes the magic feel far more real than it resolving just like a regular attack or ability.

Would have been nice to see unique spell sets perfaction, but perhaps we'll see that in the future as the game evolves - right now a single set of combined magic everyone can dip into at least lets them test the waters with this new direction of magic. If it proves to be a big selling product and fun key part of the game I'm sure we'd see factions or alliances getting their own permanent spell roster.

They are. And rather sneaky too, slipping in there at the end of the deluge of content.
GW went a bit nuts on this release. It's good to see.

To be fair Sigmar needs them go nuts for a bit to really push it out after a whole year of super strong 40K pushing. Granted Sigmar releases have had the bulk of new models in them thus far (at least compared to 40K where some armies got nothing or just a single new model) so there's been a huge amount of fantasy focus.

But yeah the first week along is a huge release so I'm looking forwrad to more - esp since we know that there's a lot of undead models to come!

And, to top it all off, you get the complete Core Book for the new edition – all 320 glorious pages in full colour and wrapped in a sturdy hardback cover.

The Core Book is included in the Soul Wars box, but for those that want it on its own, you will also be able to pick it up separately.

Somewhat confused as they seem to clearly say the core book is in the soul wars box, but the picture they give shows softcover booklets, with "Core Rules" not "Core Book" as the title, plus the filename of the image is: "AoSSoulWarsLaunch-Booklets12tc", note the "Launch Booklets" part.


So which is it, do we get a full hardback book with Soul Wars or a softcover rules "booklet" ?
