My LGS had a preorder list before the preorder with GW went up for Indomitus, I send them an email today if they're doing the same for Dominon.

But, if I can't get it, ehh, I won't be too sad.

Spoiler:

I watched the Goobertown Hobbies "Unboxings are stupid" unboxing video.

At the end he said to expect a bunch of other unboxings on the embargo day, maybe some in-depth reviews, and somehow Ash will have a battle report with painted minis from the box.

Lo and behold, Ash has painted minis and a battle report. Guy must be the fastest painter in the world.

Likewise. My FLGS has been having people place their orders for new releases with him on the Wednesday before they go on pre-order.

I mean, nobody expected it to be less than Indomitus, right?

Objectives took a price hike I think tho.

It's not that people expected less. They worried more.

Objective areas same so my 12" circles works. Good

I already have two AoS armies, so the Dominion box doesn't appeal to me (besides the collectors rulebook), but I am definitely ordering the Generals Handbook, Rulebook, and maybe a couple sheets of the gaming boards this weekend.

I'm really excited for the Path to Glory rules.

unsurprisingly my online supplier has been warned that this is limited and he may not get all he wants so to get his pre-orders in as soon as he can

so if your planning to get it from an FLGS/Online supplier get your expression of interest/holding deposit in ASAP, to maximise the chance they can actually get it for you

Well gw confirmed that long time ago. As such sorted it out long time ago.

I'm genuinely surprised Dominion is the same price as Indomitus, but that's good.

£15 for the Combat Gauge though? Yikes.

$25 US.

So glad got one on lumineth box. And some said it was bad deal

I put my Dominion order in with the flgs two weeks ago. I always tells the locals to put in preorders for stuff they know they want the minute they know it’s a thing that exists.

I got one at the Dollar Store.

I have the First and Second edition Starter Box set so I should get this one...but technically its not a Starter Set. The Starter set should come out later like it did for 40k.

It's not a download. Fill out the short form and they'll email you the rules.

EDIT: It's a 44 page document, so it's a bit more than just the usual 'free' rules.

Yea, it's got Core Battalions, universal enhancements, terrain rules... basically everything but the battlepacks!

This is an amazing display compared to the usual fare.

Indeed, including the basic structure of an army is most welcome.

Right, I think we'd best have a good a read of the new rules...

My FLGS's allocation seems significantly smaller than usual

Either it's done because it's a big document (76mb) or as a way for them to gauge interest in Dominion. It's most likely because of something else I haven't thought of...

The survey is basically "First name, language, country and email" because basically its a sign up to their newsletter. That part is optional, but the system is designed to get your email signed up to GW's newsletter so that they can send marketing to you like "here buy shiny models".

So for most on Dakka its either pointless (we already hound the WC page more than once a day) or we are already signed up from previous pushes.

Its an interesting ruleset. Only part way through, but the writing style is a little tedious.

I'm sure the code of conduct will get some flak, but I'm mostly amused that technically speaking, according to the battlefield rules (section 2.0), only AoS brand terrain counts as terrain. Everything else (including 40k trees or ruins) is open ground.

Biggest complaint is this really needs a mobile friendly version. The doc is a memory hog.

Because GW seems to hate Tzeentch, I'm now expecting Horrors to get shafted on two fronts:

1) Reinforcing Pink Horrors will counts as two RP.

2) Pink Horrors won't be able to use Rally.

As the WarCom site is currently giving me 503 error, I think it was in an attempt to not crash the server having every man and his dog downloading the rules at once. Seems they forgot that every man and his dog would go on to fill out the form instead.....

Just finished reading through the rules. For the most part I am impressed and this is an improvement over 2.0.

More to do, more to command and actions to take. Definitely feels like a slightly more engaging ruleset.

I've managed to get through the rules, can't seem to find anything detailing exactly what Commander and Sub-Commander mean exactly, anyone else noticed it and I've just missed it?

Commander: Leader
Sub-commander:Leader with a Wounds characteristic of less than 10

It's on the Core Battalions page.

Page 33, where they're explaining the Unit Icons. They're sub-types of the 'Leader' battlefield role.

Ah, I thought I was missing a bit more detail somewhere. I guess it just stops you from using the battalions if you've spammed monster rider Heroes, not a bad move to help keep the balance there.
One thing I did notice,is they have really trimmed back the command point generation this edition, you're really going to have to think hard on what to use and when. Really sensible decision all round.

In some armies players would rather take the least expensive heroes because the heroes in that army are a bit lackluster. This gives you a fluffy balance.

76MB for 44 pages is the sort of incompetence one should expect from GW I suppose.
