They did, but was hoping for a bit more than random Pokemon trainer crusade walks in to the grass and a random Idoneth battles them. Felt very lackluster and almost like an isolated case since even Lorai seemd a bit "what?" about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The core rules dropped on the first week of June, followed by the Indexes a week later, over the course of a week. If it's anything like 10th was, they'll probably release them in order of Core Rules -> Boxset units -> Stormcast -> Skaven -> Order -> Chaos -> Death or Destruction -> Death or Destruction.

Vaellas Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Indeed then we had the marines and nids codex pre order for septemeber/ october time then the first for Mech and Necrons in December so guessing we can look roughly around the same time for new battletomes.

I imagine the Warhammer Community Team have a couple of people writing articles and probably a team lead who does the editing. Makes you wonder how far in advance the articles are written and in what order they are written. I imagine the bulk of the "This is how X works or has changed" were pre-written and the article of which models are being removed was a recent thing.

Lol indeed 🙂 But does the removal of sub-factions also mean that I lost my free cities in CoS and my damned legions in StD? Are these replaced by formations? I hope I am wrong, as that would be a real shame. Edited April 12 by Tonhel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They currently have one allegiance ability and 12 subfactions. Reworking that into 4 abilities and 4 subfactions would be a challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizzaprez Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 16 hours ago, CommissarRotke said: in AOS it is not the default and I felt like that was the point when I started reading the lore--that ALL of Order HAS TO work together (and sometimes with Death/Destruction) to survive Chaos. If Phil Kelly is to be taken at his word, there is quite literally no room for the constant squabbling of WHF or the xenophobia of 40k. The fact that Reclaimed exist as a concept also tells us AOS isn't exactly like 40k or WHFB. This! There are no viable options save cooperation or giving up your soul entirely to Chaos. Where in 40k do you hear about, in the current time period of the setting, Space Marine chapters made up of Chaos Space Marines that were honestly really sorry and want to do better? AoS, to me, had two poster factions; the Sigmarines and the Cities. The Sigmarines, as the posterboys, represented that this is the ouroboros WHF sequel. 40k was "fantasy in Space" now AoS has some "40k in Fantasy" vibes. I liked them, and what they represented for the design philosophy of the game. The cities represented the narrative differences between AoS and Fantasy: the Fantasy world died bc all these people couldn't get along, and now this setting will die too if their ancestors can't cooperate. If Imperial Guard can carry/justify 108 unique SKU's in the store, all for "humans with guns" and 10,000 small tank variations, I'm not sure why GW decided to justify culling Cities down to 48. Probably because someone realized "we can drop all these, not bother trying to learn how to balance them, resell them in TOW 'for the fans!' and railroad people into our reboot version of the faction" Like, I doubt Cogforts will even be a 1:1 replacement for Steam Tanks 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdance93 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Unless I am misunderstanding I think people are incorrectly assuming every faction gets 4 battletraits, that was just SCE wasn’t it? every faction will get 4 battle formations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
