And it made me realise that I'd only missed the Black Ark Fleet Master or Cogsmith which have disappeared from the GW site... So thanks to you for the update ! Ha? I will double-check that. If the same kit is appearing two times as separate items it is a mistake. I shouldn't be counting them either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnusaur Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I'm leaning toward Jezzails being tomorrow's mini. They feel like a close enough "elite" counter part, with an entire unit to show off. It depends on how big the Ogor is, though. The trailer didn't make it look enormous, nor too augmented. I wonder how they will help distinguish it from Stormfiends. If it becomes a monstrous unit a la the Screamer-Killer, I doubt we'll see it. But if they retain the role as multi-model shock units, then I guess tomorrow's an option. As for Undivided Daemons... I would *love* for GW to do a whole range of cybernetic daemons a la the Soulgrinder or the enemies from DOOM. Lots of twisted empyreal flesh given temporary form by crude machines. Obviously more at home in 40K, to go with Vashtorr, but depending on the sophistication of the technology, they could fit in the Mortal Realms as well. Here's hoping Chaos Dwarfs (and Skaven, really) will show us some truly bonkers stuff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised to hear some people are already taking the tiny bits of rules we have so far and flavoring their games with them to get a taste of the new edition and are really enjoying it. Between that and how amazing the starter boxes already look AoS4 is gonna burst out of the starting gates. 🎉 (So I am stock piling my hobby funds to grab all the launch stuff ASAP. I’m doubting we’ll have another Dominion situation with the hype levels already going high now) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommissarRotke Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 On 4/20/2024 at 4:33 PM, Mutton said: I'll ask this again to get back to rumors, but what the heck does the green fill color mean for the Save value? Does it mean anything at all? Some people suggest it makes it "easier to read" but I disagree; it's not more legible than white on black. Why only the Save value? Why was no other stat colored? If you were to color a value green, the first instinct would be Health. Health is always green in games. From a purely visual aesthetic, it looks bad. None of the most common answers people have given make sense to me. Either there is some hidden meaning we're not aware of yet, or it was a pointless, incohesive whim of graphic design. This is like my white whale of AoS 4th. if it isn't to make the save easily readable at a glance, my theory is the green allows rerolling 1s to save? idk, it's very annoying that nothing has been said about this. all the warscrolls we've seen have been for heroes or more elite units that COULD have some kind of extra save rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-knight77 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 oh yeah btw @Ejecutor forgot to edit it yesterday but here the lore & image about the whole "CoS lacking gunpowder is BS" Quote Commanders of the Fastness Believed that there is no problem that cannot be solved with sufficient firepower. Their Dawnbringer host boast many Fusilier regiments. ironweld contraptions, steam walkers, gholemkind mercenaries and perhaps the greatest assemblage of artillery in all the Mortal realm Quote Ironweld Arsenal A guild unto itself, the Ironweld Arsenal specializes in the welding of blackpowder and the creation of war engines. It counts talented human engineers as well as duardin among it numbers though it typically seen as a duardin-led institution. then there just a bunch of musket and guns across all fiction; the resent Gotrek short The One Road start off with the carriage rider armed with a musket, Callis and Toll miniature having then armed with flintlocks, the witch hunter warband has three guys having with guns one gal having a repeater, Cursed City witch hunter had a stake launch hunting rifle, The resent DB short had a scientist with a double barrel shotgun Soulbound is like the biggest offender as show off the military industry of cities of sigmar it even in the back of the box so yeah regardless of whether or not shooting going to be tone down there definitely be guns and artillery for CoS future. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakai Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Keep in mind though 40K starters boxset sellout is mostly because the population is magnitude larger then AoS. for context the 40K trailer manage to get 2.3 M views on YouTube while AoS 4th is stuck at 493K (Dominion manage to settle at 1.2M now) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! I always found confusing that a fire weapons heavy army like CoS is lacking gunpowder. Also, where is the pic with the big cannon attacked by Skavens from?

ScionOfOssia Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Any rumors about potentially seeing Endless Spells split up into individual sets for the Lore of Manifestation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinoJon Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) 3 minutes ago, ScionOfOssia said: Any rumors about potentially seeing Endless Spells split up into individual sets for the Lore of Manifestation? I don't think so because the first manifestation lore they talked about had spells from 3 different sprues? I would assume the next two would be split like the following and still each lore would be from seperate sprues Construct Manifestation Lore -Umbral Spell Portal -Chromatic Cogs -Aethervoid Pendulum -Quicksilver Swords Elemental(?) Manifestation Lore -Gnashing Jaws -Flaming Skull -Prismatic Palisade -Geminids So odds are it will be sold as a full set of 3 lores.

It's not like soulblight at the end of second ed. These rules will be invalidated at the turn of the edition. If I was GW I'd write these rules for 4th edition first then adjust them for third. That way they will still play the way you expect in 4th. It would be a real bummer if the oath rules and the wilderfiend replacing dead heroes doesn't make it into 4th. GW have also promised that there will 4th edition rules for the regiments of renown. Again you'd hope that the playstyle of each regiment remains basically the same. They'd still be invalidating rules but at least players would be able to have broadly similar play experiences with the minis they bought. As for Dawnbringers 6, I suspect most people will be buying it for the lore. That's certainly why I'll be buying it. I'm actually more excited for it than any other book in the series. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
