Hey Rob! Please don't skip Cities of Sigmar! I'm thinking about playing them in AoS 4 and I value your opinion.

Few things about the new Transport rules: its 2 units( totaling up to 12 models) for the transport capacity. So you cannot transport like a unit of 6 skywardens, a unit of 3 skywardens, and an Admiral (10 models, but 3 units). But more importantly, and more Spicy, is the Transport Skyfarers rule doesn't care if the units to be picked up are in combat. So you could redeploy a Frigate and take your two 6 man units of Skywardens out of combat. You just have to deploy them OUT of combat after you transport. So for a 1" redeploy, you could move a Skywarden 16" inches. (Wholly with 6", plus the 4.5" base of the Frigate, plus the redeploy, plus the wholly with 6" disembark)

I don't mind them being in the boats or not. I just hate the amount of work that goes into building, painting, *storing* and *transporting* the boats to a venue for a game...

Thanks for covering all the faction focus so quickly

I got put down / then I set up again / you'll never gonna keep me down!

KO player here. Im fine with the transport change except that it means i will be constantly having to pick everything up every time i move the boats and re set them up. Just adds more time to movement phase. The artefacts are.... Fine.... But i dont love only "once per battle" options. Lame.. also the subfaction i find incredibly boring because i don't love the artefacts. No code representation at all, the battletraits only come into play if you have boats. Im still totally "wait and see" but so i far im quite underwhelmed by almost everything here

Thunderer rifles still wounding on a 4+ feels weird when every random throw weapon that has half a decent punch wounds on 3+ But overall lets hope the points are balanced with what all of the units have lost from last edition.

thanks for all the work in releasing videos while being live on twitch!!

for the artifact that's -1 dice on charge, combat phase might be cause in the shooting phase you werent within 12"

The whole army plays like the last Subfaction that came out in Dawnbringers.

Been waiting for this preview! Great to see models on the table and not on the side any more.

Thanks for your content!

Your thumbnail sums up my feelings nicely.

Great work on getting this out so quickly. But dang if I still don’t like what I’m hearing

The transport thing seems interesting i kind of like the way they’re doing it. Especially for opponents i get to see exactly whats in there rather than having to remember

Wow Short Kings on table not on a boat now.

This is fun, I enjoyed this!

Must say I'm a bit sad about what I'm seeing ATM with the sky dorfs but hopefully it will get better with the book. Awesome job on editing and uploading vid whilst streaming!

i like seeing the reduced shooting damage. makes the dorfs more fun to play against, and gives them more oppertunities to play more in melee for a mixed army.

CLOUD SEEDING THIS VIDEO TO THE TOP!!!!

Really looking forward to converting these stunties into the Much-Great Sky-kill Air Armada

Drakk Hobbler and the Mag Bolas opened for The Max Rebo Band at the Bespin Rocks Cloud Festival.

Great video

Bummer. Nice of them to combine thunderer shooting profiles. Mabey, their army of renown is good. Would have liked to see better warscrolls for the loss of protection in boats and loss of base shoot in combat.

Great flavour!

More boats please

Amazing all guns go

Great review. Don't know how I feel about these new simplified rules though

The thumbnail game is strong

Interesting that the mag-bolas is effective until the start of your next turn

New KO faction terrain: Clouds. Players can only descend from GW cloud models. ;)

I really want to paint the spearhead for these.

comment for the comment gods!

I kinda wanna play these guys as my order faction

Chittering gibbon approved.

Jumping back in after a 5ish year hiatus. Im between Fyreslayers and KO. Never played dwarves in any tabletop game so ive decided its time. What should i go with?! All incite welcome

Seraphon! Seraphon! Seraphon! Seraphon! Seraphon! Seraphon!

I hope these simplified rules are just for the indexing. Also, I’ll be upset if all artefacts are once per game 😢

So ready for 4th ed sky pirates!

Firing up my printer for these bad boys

Which faction is good at sitting on objectives and being hard to shift off? Trying to pick one for getting into AoS having never played before.

Do we know how many factions are being revealed for AoS 4? Cause if its everyone when do you think the hedonites will be shown?

I bought a small force of these guys to build and paint and while they are dope and super shooty they just aren’t my thing. I’m hoping this new edition will see them sold so I can start my 4th edition faction.

Super excited to have the long range damage reduced here. Much more interactive gameplay.

IM NEXT TO A BOAT!

great video, gw clouds sold separately

Sky Dwarves!

I feel like KO will be truly hated. The game will be a giant slog of moving boats. Measuring putting guys on the table. Doing this every turn. Super slow.

In a Vacuum it seems like a big nerf and nothing about the code?

Did you miss the Cities of Sigmar Faction Focus?

Doesn't hold this position make the Fumigator/decksweeper "shoot in combat" redundant... How would it ever come into play that I am both "in combat" and "Moved" as to take advantage of the fumigator/decksweepers ability?? So, basically, shoot in combat will only occur when I am in combat... Can't move if in combat... thus enabling the hold your position ability... Which will give ALL weapons' shoot in combat...

hey i have noticed that you have been very positive about all the changes in aos4, is this to be more reassuring to potentially new players or do you genuinely think all of the changes have been positive?

Hay Rob, love you, from Rob

The thunderers hold the position seems like a non event, if you are in combat then you havent moved anyway.. Unless there is a move ability or something we havent been shown yet

Where's the faction focus for bonesplitterz and beasts? I'm super excited to hear about their future in AoS. Lmao

I find it kinda funny people are complaining that they have to move each model now instead of just the ships and the this will make the movement phase to long... I mean... It just sounds like normal movement stuff for everyone else to me 😂

Bought the Spearhead because you talked it up in your Spearhead ranking video. Rob is very bad for my wallet.

Like if you think Rob’s only sponsorship is Manscaped

I think will open a lot of fun plays: My turn = I move endriggers/skywardens, activate "assault boat" frigate's ability to charge with endriggers/skywardens with strike first. End of my turn, afte I activate "Power through" command ability (move keyword) on Frigate to move out combat and "transport skyfarer" on endriggers/skywardens place it out too (if they're not in combat). So be carefull to kill target with baloons. Enemy turn = Redeploy another command ability with move keyword so I can activate "transport skyfarer" on endriggers/skywardens place it again. Beacuse baloons take the transported status only from "trasport skyfarer" and not from frigate's "assault boat"! A lot on inches and move flexibility .

Not going to lie but that thunderers profile is pretty stupid. Cause nobody is going to use the aethershot rifels on annything except the champion. A model that is ironicly not armed whit a aetershot rifle. (well i gues it is now since his double barrel has been removed from rules reality)

Did GW actually nerf shooting, as promised, for this faction? Hard to tell as I’m not that familiar with the sky pirates.

I love the changes. Having the models on the game table instead of somewhere to the sides stops a lot of confusion for both me and my opponent. And having the ability to put a ship in the sky and drop it down rally gives you that awe and thunder moment of Kharadron just smashing down from the skies!

Rob, these videos are great! Keep 'em coming! My only wish is that you made a clip from the league for the 'Flying High' battle trait 😂 "To The Cloud!" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNylqNyfv5eweYk.htmlsi=KW8qKgN21_50NHwa 2:37 2:37 2:37

Hmm what's that smell??? Oh yeah, it's FUG!!!

RIPin pieces garrison rules you wont be missed

The transport rules are very disappointing

Did I miss the cities of Sigmar faction focus?

youtube thugs represent

If I'm honest, I must say that I like how this whole 4th edition tastes: simple, streamlined, modular, fast, furious, spicy, and so narrative! My imagination jumps up and down thinking about how evocative all these +1 to add, all these dice to roll are, and how the stories that comes out of it are unique and stimulating.

This looks terrible! They really messed this one up.

Where CoS? :c

New sky vessel rules are terrible. What was so bad about how they previously played? I now have zero desire to play my KO army. Thanks GW!

As a KO player, I'm not enthused. Maybe there will be more utility spelled out in the unreleased content, but this gives up so much more than it gains. It seems they want to push the units into combat, but their defense is awful. I suspect it will be very easy to tie up units in combat and that'll be game.

Haha oh man, you've got a ton more of these to do Rob. You'll have to do a condensed video after they're all out where we watch you go from hopeful optimism in the first reveal to full send sarcasm in the last video.

While I understand the reason why I am kinda disappointed your privateers don't stay in the boats

I mean I'm pretty happy with the transport changes and nerfs to long range damage, because it actually makes KO a somewhat interactive army now. Rather than their current "lol I'm gonna put all of my stuff in big ships, blast your army to pieces and then teleport away kthxbai".

Cities of sigmar? :(

Ko player here. Like the transport change, when I spend hour painting minis, I like having them actually on the board. Like the streamlining of weapon profile, it was really tiresome during shooting. Don't like the battle formation at all, just another artifact is not interesting for me.

Where cities of sigmar 😮

ngl, not thrilled with ANY of this. Looks like to KO are going into the box for a while.

Painted models spending time ON THE TABLE, and not sitting on a shelf... shooting and being killed without EVER touching the table... what a silly idea that was from GW in hindsight. I'm glad that has changed.

I wanted to see my models on the table but... Not like this. This feels awful.

This is terrible! No more casually floating around and blowing away units while scoring for nothing. I'm gonna have to learn how to actually play AOS!

Warhammer: We are gonna streamline Weaponprofiles! Checks Skywadens. So that was a lie...

Deadpan sarcasm. Actually painful.

Great video

Honestly, steam punk sky dwarves is a pretty cool pitch, don't care who you are. Add a little bit of piracy in the mix, and there's a lot to love in KO...
