Bjarni St. Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 The 40k GHB, Chapter Approved, will change the first turn decision from first to deploy to a roll off with the first down getting +1 (aka just like whfb). See community page. ... And yet it looks like we'll still be stuck with gimmick deployment armies dictating first turn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJetski Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Going first in AOS is very different from going first in 40k. Having less deployments through is one of the reasons you play a battalion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottle Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I love the tactics around reducing your drops, getting to choose first turn, being out deployed as a result, packing turn 1 threat, and the double turns etc etc etc If I could change anything it would be "one drop" armies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 40k with the ammount of firepower and the range of the weapons it is much more crucial to land the first turn initiative. In the past (and to an extent even now) games could be decided just by who got to play first and it wasn't nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veillotron Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Today's Rumour Engine photo: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/08/09/rumour-engine-august-9th-2017/ To my trained detective eye, this looks like a pauldron ;-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veillotron Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Posted too quickly - my guess is a Bloodbowl aelf pauldron. Very similar to this CAD render: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkiham Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Not aos but, the continued nurgle releases could mean some nurgle attention in aos. We've certainly seen rumour mill pictures pointing towards nurgle 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone2040 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Bloodbowl definitely was the first thing that came to mind when I saw that rumour image. I reckon the Elven Union team is a pretty good fit based on the image above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killax Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yeah that image is from 4chan and might very well be correct as if you do work at GW you have more insight in what is to come, as the books barring those of maby Tyranid, BA, Necrons and TS should be finished and printed by now ;). Death Guard will have Mortarion and a new Vindicator-like tank (also spoiled picture) but I still am uncertain if this will mean something for AoS. I do hope so but Chaos in 40K most certainly doesn't get the same treatment as it does in AoS. Which is quite logical as sales on the Chaos factions (and thus populairity) is really different.

Kaleb Daark Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 and yet he's been ruined with the ubiquitous leaping kitty pose that plagues all of the current sculpts that come from the hand of seb perbet. Oh well. Onto more important matters, do we have any more news on the khorne dragon from Forgeworld with skeletor as it's rider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkspear Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I hope there will be a release of AOS miniatures in September since there is only 1 codex scheduled to be released. I also assume 28 August will be the release date of GHB 2017? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be giving a preview of each main alliance every 4 days or so, 2 down, 2 to go, so could be as soon as next weekend (unlikely). They release on saturdays normally? 26th seems a safe bet.

Siegfried VII Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I believe that there are more chances to get AoS releases as there is planty of space between the codexes and have in mind that most of them will get few to no new released models at all...

Xasz Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Great... ...regardless, tomorrow we'll most likely see destruction or chaos. It fits the "cycle", Freeguild n stuff will probably be in between grand alliance previews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
