I think the wording means the Ritual points are individual per priest, and each Priest is walking through the battle constantly chanting their own hymns and prayers. "on a roll of 2+, your PRIEST gains that many ritual points" They already have a precedent for a Player gaining points (Blood Tithe in Khorne, also command points), and this is worded as the individual Priest gaining them, so per-Priest makes sense in that regard.

It was a good thing, and I'm saying this as someone that owns almost evey warband. It was bloat. I only used the warbands in my std army because I already had them from buying warcry boxes. I would rather see warcry be its own big thing. I like that I could use them, but it wasn't necessarily what I wanted in my army. It was just a points gap filler/chaff

My SCE army went from around 3500pts to 0pts . I don't feel like it was a good thing for me. Especialy in my area where legends=no played against. Will GW give me 600-700$ to get a new SCE now that they invalidated my army?

Since GW sale Squats again, the termn now should be Sacrosancted

Ok boomer

Oh god, now I'm actually worried that Savage Orcs wont make a come back in The Old World, even with Bonesplitterz going away. My first assumption was that they're just gonna come in a second wave, but now I'm terrified that its not happening. Like, Savage Orcs don't get their own entry in 'Ravening Hordes' - they're just a loadout option for vanilla Orcs, that was strange but people assumed that maybe it was done not to stept onto AoS' toes; but a quick ctrl F also reveals that 'Savage Orcs' are not named anywhere in the lore either. Now you got me worried that the same thing is happening to them that happened to 'Skaven Slaves' and many other aspects of the lore; whatever creatively bankrupt brand managers that are steering the ship these days decided Savage Orcs / Bonesplitterz are "problematic" and got to go. I really hope that doesn't turn out to be the case.

Beast of chaos have no god. They were just a loose end army.... Almost all BoC models are old. The new models that are cut are from a different game. No precedent set. This is a false equivalence And you're still getting a full year with new updated rules. So it's not even like it's a slap in the face, oh you just bought into BoC, sorry, your army is invalid. No, you can play for a year, and during that time convert the models into something else.

Season. Modular. lol. Moronic game company has earned all its hate. Age of Shitmar.

Modular rules ... Isn't that what one page rules has been doing since the start , strange that gw have to look at how other formats work now to get inspiration 🤔

I hate that rend (and AP in 40k are negative instead of positive). Everyone basically adds it anyways. If save 4+ and rend -1, opponent needs to roll a 5+. Clarify how the rule is written. It should state that the opponent adds your rend modifier stat to his save stat, and then has to roll a dice equal to or higher than his new modified save stat in order to make a save. Currently, it's written roll a dice, minus opponents rend stat from rhe dice, and that has to be equal to or higher than his save stst. Its same thing but written clearer. It's the same thing to pass a save, just written more clearly.

I don't think that we're seeing the death of the rapid errata. If something absolutely breaks the game, they'll probably issue quick erratas. But instead of having to print the errata and stick it in the book, maybe they print the fixed version in the GHB reducing the number of books/pdfs you need. Or if they want to do a massive change, like they note for Andtor magic, they can just do a full rewrite instead of 'change paragraph x to say y'. The rules writers have gotten too much praise through 3.0 for their tight balancing to entirely eliminate it. Also I think that the path that GW has done since 8th ed 40k and 2e AoS is AoS iterates on the rules system, 40k takes the successes and attempts to add it to 40k. I think the best thing they can do with weapon profiles here is to unify chaff weapons. A clan rat's weapon shouldn't matter, it's a clan rat it's meant to be a speedbump. We've seen most chaff and liberator equivients have their weapons unified through 3.0, there's just a few holdouts (saurus warriors, Mortek Guard, and the aforementioned clanrats come to mind). Now if they made spears a reactive weapon (like extra rend, attack first, or mortals when charged) then scrap what I said and let's have some discussions.

1. Spearhead will be it's own separate thing much like Combat Patrol, there will be no army building in it, as they have stated you will buy and build the box then play it. 2. Age of Sigmar has never had the diversity of wargear and weapon options that 40k had. They literally just toned down 40k to be closer to the level of AoS customization, AoS will still probably function the same with some 0-X weapon options and maybe a piece of wargear or two per unit.

Any ideas on endless spells?? Staying/going?

A thing to note, this new edition was all worked done under the new game director so it’s his baby. He’s often at competitive events to check game balance and rule interpretation first hand.

I’m casual so think I’ll just keep playing 3rd

Ok please no... "got bloated"? I moved from 40k 10th ed. to AoS (just starting out) because GW sucked all fun out of 40k. Wanna go from bloated to bland? Be my guest. EDIT: Do You want me to elaborate? Yes, 9th of 40k was too much but what they did is not "simple but not simplified" they made it into "simple and stupefied". Leaders joining units is bad. Coz You feel very restricted. Sorry, I rather have heroes with auras instead of "This guy can only go with this unit". They took away flexible size of units for stupid reason. They also took away unique unit loadouts because why would You want to have more freedom as to how to field your units. On top of that, they took away all the flavor of playing my Iron Hands. So in 10th I felt like I'm playing generic Space Marines. No. I don't want all of that to happen to AoS. I'm concerned I won't have any other interesting TT games to go to.

I'm gonna post this on every AOS 4th vid to see what others think: i thought the trailer was awesome but I've never seen developers talk about a game where it got worse and worse and WORSE as they kept talking. I feel bad for the AOS community. Anyone else? Gor or bad?

You're absolutely right that AoS doesn't need the massive culling that 40k 9th did. The random turn mechanic I think is now too ingrained in how AoS plays to be removed IMO. I'd really like a random battle tactic mechanic like 40k has with the deck as it goes a long way to making games feel more different turn by turn. Tournaments obviously get the fixed/variable decision. I would like to see as you note some sort of reaction mechanic across the whole game. MW issue came about because of save stacking so if that is limited more then you have less of a need for MW spam. I'd like to see shooting units moved to the woefully underused artillery keyword unless they're incidental shooting units (like wildercorps or skinks). That would limit the number of them on the battlefield and force the more combined arms approach GW obviously wants.

You started off really strong. Good takes, but around the tables section you started to lose me. You're talk way too much about wanting the game to be more like 40k and as far as I know 10th is not any better than 9th. I'm assuming by tables you're actually referring to enhancements. Which ya they do generally have to do better with most enhancements and allegiance abilities as well as terrain rules

All i want to know is, wheres my standard "Nothing Personal" command ability where on your turn when you shoot at me, before you get to shoot i teleport one of my units instantly behind you and attack you - but wait wait wait its at -1 to hit so its balanced! Why shooting armies get to have their cake and eat it too with a crazy benefit from double turn and a reaction that is insanely strong just doesnt make any sense and seems to make them basically un balanceable in 3rd ed. Morathi snakes, kharadron, kroak nuke, lumineth and cities - how many months of 3rd were at least one of these not posting 58+% winrates?

You know how you fix the random turn...alternative activations.

I think the double turn is important. I would, however, add in a Star Wars Legion priority type mechanic. Right now, having turn orders be pure d6 roll offs can lead to bad games. SWL though, has each player select a priority type card, with higher priority getting less general benefits and lower priority getting buffs. If each player got priority cards, it would give agency and make the mechanic more interesting. If I absolutely needed a turn and used my highest priority card while my opponent used a lower priority card that allowed them to cast a spell in my turn or gave 2 free all-out-defense buffs, it would still allow for double turns, but give more interesting decisions to make.

If they buff going second so people choose to do it then winning the priority roll is even stronger. That doesn't solve the problem of the roll being random its just an even larger swing.

Gotta keep random turns. It make AoS different and in my opinion better. You have to strategise with turns in mind and it adds complexity and difficulty to the game. IMO 40k is often won on the first turn dice roll and is therefore more unbalanced.

I hope they kill it. Give it it's own end times and move everyone back to a real game like tow.

1: While adding attack ranks, imo just remove Weapon reaches imo, it just really punishes beginners thinking they'r screening something and Unit X having 3" reach attacking over. 2: Foot Heroes joining units like 40k 10th is like a MUST happen! limit what units heroes can join on their warscroll, not every single one have to be able to join, but most. Foot heroes, especially melee, and even more so the ones without a clear synergy buff they give, are just pointless, and thematically boring, they cover in the back, what HEROES they are.. Common, let foot heroes join units and lead from the front! It also speeds up the game a bit, change most of the buffs they offer to the unit they joined instead! this saves time having to remeassure all the time that you'r not moving out of all the 12" bubbles. It also helps balance certain lists that does AOE mortal wound bombing with spells or abilities, in most cases they are balanced, but against 30% of the armies that like to bring 5-6 heroes and more a few more min sized unit, they quickly become super OP, whiping out whole armies. It also makes equiping smaller foot heroes with Artifacts sometimes instead of just putting them on the big Monster heroes since they scale better with them, since the Unit they join helps protecting them a bit and make them able to go out and fight, using the Command trait / Artifact benefits. 3: Removal of Battletactics & Grand alliance is good, and instead they could introduce like 2-3 Battletactics linked with each battleplan instead! instead of having super complex rules for some battleplans, all of them can have just basic scoring hold 1-2 /more, BUT add 2-3 Battletactics per Battleplan, and that makes them more uniqe, and instead of Spending 1-5 min per turn choosing battletactic, just have them all activated through the battle, you can score all 2-3 in 1 turn, (They could make like 8 Battleplans in total if they'd like, and just affix 2-3 of them per battleplan, so more generic but uniqe combinations per battleplan. This would make the Battleplans feel more thematic, and what the armies are trying to accomplish is linked with the battleplan, IF they want to, they can introduce 3 Battletactics per army, and you choose 1 in your list, make it thematic, something your army would want to achive, but make it accomplishable in any turn, NOT just at the end like most Gradstrategies, closer to how battletactics work. This alone could save 20-30 minutes per game, the players not having to struggle and figuring out what battletactic they can achive, OR a few factions just having it super easy. 4: 40k way of battleschock is better! make units who lose the roll take a more definitive ammount of losses instead of based on number of models lost total, that would be great. Also if they do that, Nerf Bravery ammount of most stuff, make Bravery 10 super rare! not all undead and daemons.

I would LOVE if heroes could join squads... i just want my small boys to be used

I wish GW would stop giving every single new character a manbun some sculpter at GW is obsessed with 2010

This was great listen. Cheers

Even if Krethusa is the only new model, she could still open up more options such as prayers that priests can take. Would be fairly easy to top the Witch Aelves banner with a crow or Morai-Heg symbol too.

I am excited to see models being made for some of the cool book characters. I do find it ironic, however, that they announced the Callis and Toll miniatures just a few weeks after I kit-bashed a Callis and Toll for myself from various 40K and Cities of Sigmar kits.😊

I hate the new neave story, the model is lit af

I don't think there will be more models in this vein immediately but I wouldn't be surprised if their new battletome whenever it comes out in 4th comes with models for a new subfaction in a year or 2.

Promo-SM

I don’t even think Ushoran knows how to pronounce his name properly, so different people saying it differently just adds to the lore. Great video mate 👌

Great video. As you said these modells have so much character to them. Definetely going to try to get the Army Set they are going to release for the new FEC.

Man this is so exciting they have such a good range now

When one of them are struck down and destroyed do FEC creatures go to the same afterlife as the knights and other noble warriors they see themselves as? The curse is a delusion so it would only seem fitting to me. Not sure if this is explained in the lore.

Interesting video, I personally hope Realms of Ruin kicks off well and get that special touch dev's do when they like what they do and have the resources necessary. Here's hopin it will result in more mechanics and/or extra depth to the gameplay. Since the game is brand new, if it sells well and performs well I think there is room for further development alongside new factions.

''turn based game like total war'' Idk if I'd describe Total War as turn based. Sure the infrastructure bit is turn based but that's filler, the combat is real time. Turn-based game makes me think of civ, where ''combat'' is right clicking stuff. I am being pedantic though.

Good video! Personally I love my classic chunkcast Liberators (I have over 40 of them) but I’m definitely in favor of getting an updated look for them. Honestly I wasn’t a fan of a lot of the new Thunderstrike stuff being released because like you said, a lot of it was tripping over the feet of what we already had. Some of it was genuinely new, but we should have gotten Thunderstrike Liberators instead of the Vindictors since they literally perform the exact same roll.

I was hoping we get a Lightning Golem model from the lore on those statues with lightning wraiths in them.

are there any good books from the point of the flesh eaters courts?

Haven’t finished the video yet, but one thing I wanted to point out that you didn’t mention. The Misthavn units you pick have to be outside of 12” of all enemies. So your on foot troops can’t move into engagement range of enemies, and most if your mounted units want to be charging into combat for buffs. It’s still definitely useful, and is great for positioning or closing the gap to increase the odds of getting a charge off, but it isn’t necessarily a good way of getting your units into combat right then. Edit: I’m going to add things as I catch them. Not trying to be rude or pedantic, I know the book is a lot, and I only noticed these because I’ve looked through the leaks several times and listened to multiple reviews. The foot Marshal’s heroic action can only be used once per game. So it’s honestly not that useful since it’s one and done, *and* goes off of the target unit’s bravery. Edit edit: nevermind, you caught that XD The Warforger’s blazing weapons ability is an aura of 12” that affects every Cities human unit wholly in range. You don’t pick one unit to put it on. And it affects melee and shooting attacks. So it’s a massive damage buff for everything close to him. The advance in formation order let’s Fusiliers move and keep their fortified position rule, that’s important to remember. So they can move 8” and fire up to 24” away. That’s a 32” threat range. This applies to the cannon too. It’s very important to keep the orders in kind while reading the warscrolls

RIP Phonecium

The ranged support is there, it’s just magic phase mostly. Spirit gale, wind of death, and a mortus engine can go up to 7 MW to a whole enemy army

love this book. points costs for most pf the units frel a bit high, but what they do & how they play? so good.

I'm just impressed w/ how much effort went into this book. the last book was already written with 3e core rules in mind, and while it had been power crept by later 3e books there were relatively few complaints about how the army or its units worked in general. there were no big model range updates to push, there was another book coming out at the same time with studio focus on the major upcoming seraphon & cities releases, to say nothing of 10th ed 40k. If there was ever time when the devs could have gotten away with a low effort, mostly copy-paste release with only minor updates if any, this was it. And yet they went full effort here, rewriting the faction rules, subfaction rules, & each and every war scroll from the ground up. Not always for the better - i wish they had left the big chariots alone - but yeah. Definitely can't complain about a lack of effort.

Very good. Thank you!

One thing on my wishlist is a dedicated box of new models for all the courtiers. Unique models, make it so don’t have to ransack a box of ____ to build each, and a plastic Varghulf so people don’t have to build the 15+ year old resin one.
