michu Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Hey, does Warhammer Community site is down for everyone or is it just me? EDIT: Ok, it's back. Edited April 22, 2019 by michu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I skimmed through the podcast so I may have missed stuff, but it is mostly talking about them setting up a dedicated age of sigmar studio, and some of the ways they are thinking about the future in non specific terms. The only specific future release that got namechecked was Warcry. I want to go back and listen more carefully as it was quite interesting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiagoma Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 At 49 min mark he talks about the focus on giving battletomes for every single faction and new ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayple Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I like the genuine character of the fellow talking about it. He seems as much of a fanboy of this stuff as we are, which is always assuring to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I just hope we see more from Forgeworld. GW is already doing great with AoS and its nice to hear confirmation of the tomes coming; but darn it FW need to buck up and get more fantasy stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is extremely exciting because he's created the very best and most well balanced game Blood Bowl! So we are in very capable and great hands which is a relief to me. I'm glad it's such a reputable name over AoS. This is going to be an amazing game once everything has caught up and been sussed out, although I also currently think it is a great game right now too.

Kurrilino Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Wow.. what happened here. Why all this crying ???? If we look back, the god themed armies always got their mortals from the slaves of darkness\Everchosen or former 8th edition chaos warriors. And Slaves of Darkness and Everchoosen will get a new release in summer. I guess we should wait until after this release before we call a release a disappointment. The rules in HoS will be clearly be written for Slaneesh and you just slap a mark of Slaneesh on Slaves of Darkness mortals. Has always been like that and will always be like that. I don't get the big fuzz Edited April 22, 2019 by Kurrilino 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morovir Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Other than the Khorne releases, the only ones on that list that were actually released for Age of Sigmar were the Ogroid Thaumaturge, Kairic Acolytes, Lord of Blights and the Pusgoyle Blightlords/Lord of Afflictions dual kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way before their books in AOS. I bet HoS will include all of their cool stuff like the mirror prince and the boobie snakes and hell striders and so on. I really wanted new mortals as well in the book. But i guess there will be a connection with the Slaves of Darkness, so let's wait 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralZero Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 On the same topic of motals, I'd be glad to see StD to be an army capable of being marked for a chaos god and beeing able to synergize completly with the other chaos batletomes units maked of the same god, WITHOUT any ally limitation. Meaning for example: - a nurgle StD army wit a GUO and a unit of Blighking pusgoyles or - a StD with some units and big beasts of Beastmestmen battletome - a StD army with the new keeper of secrets ans fiends ...etc... This will make the StD/Evechoosen army UNIQUE in a sens that it can be build in whatever taste you want, without thinking "allies". That fits them a lot. (but unlikely -unfortunately- to happen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awcamawn Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Thanks for the heads up on that one @Still-young and @michu! From that lastest Stormcast podcast - Jes Bickham said the following on what the new dedicated Age of Sigmar studio is working on going forward: "...battletomes for every faction..." and specifically "...we will get around to all the existing factions." !!!!Excellent!!!! Go Team Handbook! *group hug/high five/chest bump of Wanderers, Dispossessed, Darkling Covens, Slaves to Darkness, Freepeoples, and Gutbusters* For all of us who haven't received any battletome at all, there is hope! Fight on, my tome-less brothers and sisters! 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravinsild Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Remember how the Aelves used to be divided on the website and when you looked at the Order factions there were like 40? Now it's been consolidated and all the Aelves are lumped together. I don't know if it means anything, but the Order side of things looks well cleaned up.

Check your outrage and whether it is really warranted - it really doesn't look good to others and may scare newcomers off from playing the game. Yeah so slaneesh won't be as big army wise as the other four God's. But it still has around the same amount of options as the new aos armies and more with the inclusion of slaves (and hopefully darkoath soon). Everybody had this big expectation of what the Slaanesh release was going to be, mainly because they were missing from both shelves and the storyline for so long. These are folks who haven't learned to manage their expectations, when it comes to GW. Go easy on them. It's a harsh lesson to learn. Perhaps Slaanesh and 40k Ork players can form some sort of support group or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW set the precedent, lets not forget how much slaanesh has been shafted compared to the other three gods. So it doesnt suprise me that people are upset, some are calling it a discount/half release. If there are no mortals to me this release is a dud and I will only get the tome for lore. I am tired of the bulky and ugly STD models that dont match the aesthetic of slaanesh.

You give the keywords before battle therefore when choosing your allegiance you can pick a keyword every unit has. So mark all STD Slaanesh and you have acces to the Slaanesh allegiance. Doesnt work the other way around (you can’t give rotbringers the slaves to darkness keyword) if that was what you meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurrilino Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Well, this is GW for you folks. I strongly advise to switch to Stormcast. You will get a new Battletome every 2 week including 87 new models. Not to mention that you will be included in every dual battlebox doesn't matter what topic. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeryenn Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 3 hours ago, Overread said: They don't need to release a new book to release a new model - heck they are already saying new rules for the 40K side of these models are going in the boxes as opposed to in a new demons book for them. I'd be happy to see that for AoS. Still waiting for precedent. It would help a lot to make quick updates when needed or to fill the gaps f.e. to give a wizard model to factions that have none or one since magic is crucial in age of endless spells.

To answer your question - yes it's unrealistic. Given the way GW operates, the amount of armies that will get a Gloomspite-level release are few and far between. So while you might think that your own beloved army needs the super, extra-effort release treatment, the reality is that tons of other armies (even brand-new armies that we haven't ever seen before) need it just has much. From GW army releases, you expect the minimum. Anything extra is just that - extra. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
