Chariots are very strong in Fantasy because they are immune to Killing Blows (can't be one shot by a weapon/character/unit with the Killing Blow special rule).
Do chariots make you immune to one shot special weapons/situations in AoS too?

I know it's probably not very surprising, but the argent shards seem pretty damn big.

Chariots don't really fit seraphon, but a sort of juggernaut/temple being carried by some dinos could be pretty cool.

I think the main gimmick of chariots and the like in aos is that they're (more easily) able to power through and move through hostile units that would usually force them to engage and thus prevent them from moving.
>>97494648
Kino idea
I've seen a fair few idk chariot conversions around (picrel), it seems like a concept that speaks to people. Gw would rather give them 2 extra characters and a spell though.

What do you think the Secret Level AoS episode will be about?
If they stick with the thing that it has to be connected to a video game we're stuck with Realms of Ruin, and by that Stormcast vs Tzeench/Kruleboys/Nighthaunt.

But I hope they are liberal in their connection to games and consider the tabletop to be game enough, and as such have free reigns to do something non stormie focused
>>
>>97494797
Basically guaranteed to be Stormcast by mandate. But if has to be them, it’d be cool to see something for Gardus or Tornus.

>Chariots don't really fit seraphon
There are two arguments for seraphon chariots:
one of their warrior gods was said to ride on a chariot
the ancient aliens theme they have going on rests on a book literally called chariots of the gods

in both cases instead of a normal chariot with wheels and pulled by beasts it would have to be some magitech platform, maybe pulled by podracer engines of some kind, like a melee version of the starseer throne for a saurus champion

you just know aos will have to compensate for 40k's marines being all men, so the stormcast in the secret level can only be a woman.

the only thing we can hope for is that she's cool instead of the stereotypical girlboss, yndrasta has the potential to be portrayed as a trigger happy psychopathic huntress.
There is a chance for that to come out as something genuinely charismatic and fun.

But it's a faint chance, I know.

For FEC I'm trying to think of a solid alternative to a chariot but everything boils down to basically just a shittier looking black coach. Which funnily enough FEC does technically have "horses" though I wouldn't mind just a massive fuckoff Morbheg nearly terrorgheist with a platform on it's back kinda fitting the chariot bit. But at that point I dunno if it'd still count, since it's just big monster with platform on it's back not a chariot.

I don't see GW giving KO a creature pulled chariot, if they ever get any creatures at all so I would imagine that a KO chariot would probably look like a star wars pod racer. Small cockpit with a baloon pulled by two big turbine engines. The average movement with KO is already 12 inches so it's funny to imagine them putting this thing out with like 3 health, 18 inch move and probably a bombing ability like the big boats already have.

You’ll get a stagecoach with a Gatling gun on it.

Something centered around the stormcucks, probably Neave because they need to clear out the warehouse of those shitty models. I'm sure much like the Sigmar's Toll show it's going to feature two characters talking to each other on a boring background explaining background lore for 80% of it befrore we get a short fight scene and some awful stinger from a stormcast about it being the Age of Sigmar™, buy the models now.

>>
>>97496045
As someone getting into Tzeentch, I'm very mixed on it. On one hand, the new fate points are strictly worse than fate dice in almost every way. On the other hand, the ability to swap out units once per turn could be really spicy. No monster limitation means you can't save Kairos but I could still see this being pretty good. Waiting to see the updated battletome and warscrolls to see how good it'll end up being.
>>
>>97495443
Yeah... Chariots could fit a sort of hero of olde, Green Knight, kind of thing but despite the Arthurian motifs historically fitting chariots it's the anachronistic application of 14th century aesthetics that don't... So maybe it'd make sense? Idk

I wouldn't want to see them get real chariots, but ya a giant Old One artifact/mobile temple would be sick. Like a giant version of an Engine of the Gods or a mini pyramid towed by a couple of mid size dinos.
>>
>>97496051
If its a podracer, then it should also have a special rule that when it does it moves X amount of inches in one direction and deals damage to everything it passes through (with the movement immediately ending if it passes through a terrain feature or monster, dealing extra damage to that.)

>If your army would get a/another chariot, what would it look like? Creature pulling it? Loadout?

SCE: Already has one. I guess theoretically they could get a heavier one, more melee-focused, maybe pulled by some sort of drake-like creature.

COS: Probably just a wood & wrought-iron thing pulled by horses, but I think if they do end up bringing in halflings, a small chariot pulled by, like, war-roosters and crewed by halfling archers would be fun.

OWC: Mostly play Kruleboyz and chariots are sort of antithetical to swamp warfare. It'd probably be a model for Ironjawz and would be some hulking, ramshackle thing pulled by pigs, designed more for slamming directly into the enemy.

Skaven: RAT CHARIOT WITH LIGHTNING GUN
>>
>>97497092
You say chairots are antithetical to swamp warfare, but the britons were notorious for being the last group of peoples in the west to use the damn things. It could also be designed to work on softer ground, so something a bit more like a dogsled or airboat, slides on the ground rather than rolls.
>>
>>97497129
Swamp skiff for kruleboyz. With a repeating ballista bolted on top.
>>
Always strange to see that some people dont understand that OBR is a disciplined military first and a freakshow second.
>>
>>97497494
Like a bunch of rednecks in a hovercraft tearing through the swamps and shooting feral hogs with a shotgun.
>>
>>97497129
True, but the Britons mostly used their chariots on open ground. Plus, the swamps the Kruleboyz are in are less like the humid marshes of Britain and seem more like the thick swamps & bayous of the American Gulf Coast.

I don't think DoK should get a chariot. The roster has no need for something like that, and lorewise it doesnt make sense. The Khainites love getting into battle and reveling in the blood of their enemies, a chariot defeats that purpose.

Hence why I suggested a sled/hovercraft like alternative. More evenly distributed weight so it can slide on soft ground and float on water if need be. Lets them outmanuver their enemies even more effectively in the swampy terrain, and can be used to transport people they capture.
>>
>>97497835
Honestly, I think that they should just add all the neat white dwarf/warcom mini game modes to the core rulebook. Just extra shit for you to do with your minis. Kill team in 40k used to be like that, before they killed it/brought it back as its own thing.
>>
>>97498003
the white dwarf is handled by a different team compared to the one that handles rulebooks writing

it's a terrible system
>>
>>97497677
And a grot operating a rotating magazine for the ballista, like a primitive gatling gun. Not terribly accurate or long range, but the kruleboyz don't care because it shoots lots and they don't really have to do much except sit back and perforate gits.
>>

kruleboys already have a chariot

Warhammer (any version of it) is at it's best when nothing is explained and they just let visuals do the talking. Why is this guy in power armor carrying a coffin and shooting at a statue?

Nah, they have archers for crying out loud, if they're OK with the blood being an arrow's flight away, they'd love stabbing people with spears from a chariot.

They could do something really fun where the chariot is pulled by other DoKs. Like, maybe a new kind of Scathborn that's bigger and stronger and used for stuff like that, or just a crew of regular Aelves who are punished by running into battle but only so their Sisters can reap the blood and glory

yes, it does, a boat is only a boat if it's on water, if it goes underwater then it's a uboot, and if it goes above then it's an abbot, but this is only half of an abbot, so it's a halfbot, not a boat

Three books, first one about a stormcast questor who through an oracle or something get to know his brothers still walk the realms and set out to find them.

Second about an OBR commander invading a human country, mostly about the battle, strategy, tactics and combat scenes, but also more mellow parts with some introspective bits where the various souls meshed together in him converse about their situation.

And the third one about a chaos warrior and his warband as they are hunting down stormcast as an act of vengeance for getting left behind all those years ago.

And these three main characters will turn out to be the three brothers, you get the backstory as well as the part where they meet in the final book. Until then there are no real clues they are connected.

Yeah I’m not a fan of how these fate points work. You’ll only see use of them if you’re actively failing in the game. It feels really shit to not get to use your mechanic properly if you’re winning.
A better way to do it would be to get 1 point for a positive action, and 2 for a negative.
It ESPECIALLLY sucks since it’s encouraging you to spend multiple fate points in one go

Model kit production allocation does not necessarily line up with needs or even wants of factions. Nobody likes fyerslayers so no units, everyone likes vampires so 10 new soulblight things. Redundant units and anemic factions both happen because "this is how many model kits you must have in this release wave".

I mean. It’s directly copying TOW again. Why is that a bad thing to you guys though? Half the armies in AoS are a single unit from Fantasy expanded to be its own range. AoS as an IP is built on aping concepts from the Fantasy IP and trying to Frankenstein them with their new and armies.

This may surprise you but aos is actually a sequel to warhammer fantasy. This comes as a shock to many, since AoS' eponymous character, Sigmar, famously bears no resemblance to any characters from fantasy.

The fluff says the dude is on punishment detail for failure so I'm not sure how the concept would work as a sole character. The model is in charge of the dogs and bat things because he fucked up, and the two tall dudes are literally minders relaying info directly to the dudes in charge (not the centaur man). Centaur dude is such a fuck up he is only response for wrangling the dogs and bats. He is lucky he wasn't turned into a death rider mount (which happens to Lieges who REALLY fuck up)

Ogornon here,

Been playing them in a PtG as my first go with them officially and I can (hopefully) sum it up well:

You're very swingy, but your damage is always going to overkill most things but fuckhuge monsters and 40-man bricks. Your saves are useless, but when a model has 4 Wounds and you can heal them often (Feast on Flesh, Greedy Gluttons formation, and Spells/Mawpot)

Gluttons and Ironguts carry the Gutbusters, and you're always going to surprise people with how fast you can be. Ever seen a fat motherfucker run 13", then nail a charge, do 2+ MD, then 50/50 between 20 and 0 dmg? Leadbelchers are cool, but have been useless for shooting. I had a Tyrant and a 4-man Irongut unit cut through about 80% of a Skaven army in 2 rounds with only a 40-man rat brick surviving more than a single fight phase.

You basically play a bunch of heat-seeking missiles. You play carefully until you can charge in and 1-shot them because the alternative is rend 1/2 turning you into a bunch of paste.

It's honestly a fun army if you don't mind gambling on a 4+ to Hit without support.

Pro-tip:
>12-man Glutton brick (4 attacks per, +1 for Champion) for 49 hits
>Slaughtermaster (Great Cauldron - Spinemarrow for +1 Attacks on unit of choice)
>Cast Bloodfeast on Gluttons (+1 Attacks)
>nuke something with 12 fat retards swinging 73 times because they're R1, D2
>>

Thinking about starting Lumineth, seeing as apparently they finally stopped phoning in battletomes two years into the edition. Had two quick questions for anyone who plays them. The first question being, how much of a hassle are the wardens and their big ass pikes to deal with on the table? Second question is... how much pain, and how much time am I looking at, getting 2K points of competently painted elves on the table?

Wardens are a hassle, so I suggest a magnetic case for transport.

They are a time consuming to paint as you want them to be. If you do contrast + mteallics its not that hard for example.

A young wizard leaves the city of their birth as part of a Crusade, and learns about the Realm and themself as along their years long journey. Entirely on one Realm, pretty episodic as the crusade encounters new foes and situations but with recurring characters. Like, their rout coincidentally ends up alongside that of a warband of Slaaneshi Godseekers so they regularly cross paths and fight and the wizard and their Lord of Pain become nemeses. There's a Mega-Gargant who shows up from time to time, sometimes as an enemy, sometimes as a friend, sometimes as just a complication. Stormcast are mentioned but never seen, or only seen from afar as they do their weird god-give missions. Lots of focus on the day to day life of the Crusaders and the peculiarities of the Realm they are in. There's a nice slowburn romance between the wizard and a Freeguild Sergeant at Arms.

That kinda thing

>>97503646
The fungal stuff is the whole gimmick, they're diseased. If you take the fungus away, they're a pretty acceptable AoSifying of the Dryad. It takes the design and just brings it in line with the modern Sylvaneth range. It's how they're depicted in recent art too. So I'd bet that we are getting a new Dryad kit alongside their Battletome this edition. Hopefully with something else a bit more exciting.

Because GW has a stupid internal rule where they refuse to sell most kits for dual system for any decent amount of time. So for a core faction to be available to go back to Fantasy, it has to have newer AoS range replacements so that the older Fantasy sculpts can go back to TOW. I still think Dark Elves are going back to TOW first tho, they didn't even bother to sell them with round bases at any point.

Not yet they don't. But the skink kit is very old so they are an obvious target for refreshing. I am not saying Lizardmen are coming back very soon, just that once Seraphon gets the rest of their refresh they will be open to return to Fantasy.

I give the game alot of shit right now for bad rules but this makes me happy to see even though I don't have loomies, I just want the game to have more interesting rules.

But I'm like 99% sure one of the writers is complete shit that wrote the NH battle tome and he's about drop another dump on another army that will extinguish all hope I have for 5e. Since LRL and FEC are Matt's armies, I'm thinking he wrote those books, they had a little more effort put into them.

I know everyone bitches and moans about gw redesigning chorfs but honestly can you blame them? Original chorfs were pretty damn unpopular in both their incarnations (granted one of them was doomed anyway being forgeworld but still). They had what can be described as a cult following at best, until total war got them back in the spotlight. If the 3 year design cycle is true they were already balls deep into art deco helsmiths by then.

>>97506018
Once Per Battle (Army) 1 CP
Roll a d3, on a 2+, a non-hero non-flying non-cavalry unit gains a Relentless Discipline Point if wholly within 12" of a non-unique OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS hero, otherwise both the target unit and hero take 1 mortal wound that cannot be negated.
>>
>>97505563
>2 year cycle
If they switched the strategy behind rule development, this could work.
Have a new edition with indexes for everyone, as was in 4th.
But instead of battletomes, update rules for free but make the paid app the most convenient to still make a buck.
Have two year cycles and either jump from realm to real or have a selection of realms in each season.
I'm mostly brainstorming here, but AoS most certainly can't catch up to 40k in terms of popularity and it never will. It lacks the secret sauce, 40k had that attracted people.
Than and also killing off all free advertisement

No, but I can blame them for picking an exaggerated geometric motif that opts for clean and smooth surfaces over something more brutal and diabolic. I was prepared to accept pretty much any possibility for a redesign except the specific one we got.

It's just a guy concern trolling, he finds some new shit every week to go all "guys I just saw x and I'm really worried..." about. Last week it was subreddit activity (lol), the week before that it was some battlereport thing, and the week before that it was more inane youtuber nonsense.
Funniest part is when he tries to pass off youtubers with <10k views as "relatively popular" or whatever.
At the end of the day all you can do is ignore them, they'll talk to themselves a bit or start another seethe thread but what can you do.

I've been reading some AoS books for the first time, thought fuck it lets start with the realm gate wars series (Also read the black rift books), are all AoS books just endless combat? Also in one of the hallowed knight ones it says at one point there are a dozen hallowed knights left yet that was 2 books ago at this point and about 100 have died in their retreat across some ice with the Slvaneth why is it so inconsistent?

BL used to have some good writers that could put out fun and inspired stories once in a while. Now the talent pool for BL is mediocre at best. All the newer BL books are absolute slop regardless of if they are AoS or 40k or any other GW IP. If there’s a good book it’s an exception to the rule. Peter Fehervari is probably their best currently employed writer.
>>
>>97506747
Maaaaybe? The problem more so is that the zeitgeist is behind TOW right now. People aren't talking or discussing AoS and there isn't anything to talk about.

If LRL and DoT are good, they'll generate some more discussion. But what AoS really needs is a big event or change. Scourge of Ghyran came out like a wet fart in the middle of summer with no fanfare.

They'd some kind of big lore event, I think: something like all the realms getting merged or an actually consequential campaign that upsets the status quo. They can't do a new edition, so a mechanical change is right out.

Scourge of Ghyran felt like a non-event, it changed nothing and every event that centered around Alarielle ended up meaning nothing.

They had a really good opportunity with Embergard to turn it into AoS Mordheim, but they just left it in Underworlds purgatory.

I can see why, you can rally them in combat and do 20 "on a 5+ do 1 mortal wound" rolls every single combat phase

Sanctum of Amyntok and Shrine Luminors hard protect LRL heroes, requiring your opponent to straight up kill the manifestation/terrain piece to even begin touching them. A scinari enlightener is VERY safe against anything that doesn't have some really dedicated shooting.

It's basically the same as in the faction pack, maybe some number was tweaked. But compared to the 3e scroll they lost some abilities including their signature spell and their ward save, on top of having no ranged attack. On the whole I still think I like the look of the 4e army rules, it's just me who's peeved that things don't stay the same.
