Well having got the last two, I would say this one actually appears worth it. Just looking at the battleplans they are interesting as are the place specific rules.

There are worse things to spend money on than holidays

The book isn't going anywhere and I'll avoid mentioning anything more about the details.

Oxycutor · « **Reply #301 on:** February 15, 2016, 08:01:06 PM »

A lot of battleplan and Time of War rules in Balance of Power. Which is a good thing. Scenarios I think really add to the game. I wouldn't want to go back to a plain old battle. Even games of 8th or earlier, I'd roll for scenario, or use the ones from End Times.

Lord_Crom · « **Reply #302 on:** February 16, 2016, 01:39:45 PM »

agree with you Oxycutor.

I have the starter book and all three campaign books so plan to make my own document that only has the scenarios and Time of War stuff.

I know the app can do it but don't really want to rebuy the stuff and not fond of the app anyway. Anyone have Chaos Dreadhold?

I have recently got a papercraft 28mm scale castle kit and wondering if the scenarios in there were good.

Oxycutor · « **Reply #303 on:** February 16, 2016, 02:39:47 PM »

That's the only book I don't have at the moment. I really wish that if you bought a physical copy of a book, then you could unlock all it's contents in the app. Each of the battletomes (apart from the Grand Alliances) have battleplans as well. I should think are around 40 altogether.

Just looking at the first few pages of Balance of Power. Steg it appears your specific Stormcast get beat up in a place called Beryllius. Not really a spoil as just one of those single paragraphs at the front of the book. Just thought I would mention it but no doubt you already have the book by now.

I wish
money is an issue at the moment as we had to do a down payment on the holiday. I won't get much until halfway march again.
But you got me very intrigued in what that is about!

Curse you Lord-Crom... now I have bought the book for which I wanted to wait another month for more financial stability.. Oh well.. now that I do have it I might as well enjoy it

Sad Panda over on dakkadakka (who has a good rumour record) has let slip that there will be a new Age of Sigmar starter set in the summer. Not sure of content but I'm going to guess aelfs

Not quite, Sad Panda said there would be a stand alone game, set in the Age of Sigmar. The presumption, as with Execution Force and Betrayal at Calth, and the rumoured Deathwatch game coming soon, is that the miniatures will be usable in normal Age of Sigmar games, and will be probably better value than buying stuff separately. Not a new starter box, specifically, but I can sort of see why it might be thought of as one

Sharkbelly · « **Reply #307 on:** February 17, 2016, 10:31:14 PM »

I wonder if it will be similar to Battler for Vedros for 40K?

Oxycutor · « **Reply #308 on:** February 17, 2016, 11:05:35 PM »

No, Battle for Vedros isn't just a one off box game. That probably won't be available via GW stores or site. That is very much aimed at toy stores for kids to play a scaled down 40k. And is reusing old 40k molds from Black Reach or earlier, and will be cheap, build, paint, play in a box. There is already a battleforvedros.com you check out. I expect the Deathwatch, or AoS stand-alone game to be some kind of boardgames using miniatures, like Exec Force, BaC or Space Hulk. Although the Specialist Games studio is still being set up, and they've now started work on Blood Bowl, I think these were developed by the main GW studio, since the lead times for development would precede the Specialist Games announcement. But they may be branded Specialist Games, in the same way they said BaC was the first for the studio, when it clearly couldn't have been.

Seen some pics posted the Age of Sigmar Facebook group.

Featuring what looks like humans/Empire in the artwork from the Grand Alliance: Death book

Since there isn't a direct image file link, I'm not sure how to preview FB pics.

*Edit, screw it can't even create a link to the group that works. And thinking about it, I wonder if it might be old Artwork re-used from 8th. let me check first before getting my hopes up

**Edit. Yep it's from the VC Army Book for 8th. So, still no clue as to what mankind will be like in the Age of Sigmar.

Baron von Klatz · « **Reply #310 on:** February 20, 2016, 10:39:33 PM »

Haha, I've seen several false leads come from facebook as people mistake 8th artwork for AoS.

The only leaks I follow are on dakkadakka and what the deviantart artists are allowed to share.

On a sidenote, I like that 1d4chan just updated their AoS page with artwork from the grand alliance books.

Well now that Warseer is up and running again, I'm looking at them also, besides checking out and filter all the crap from Bells of Lost Souls.

Baron von Klatz · « **Reply #312 on:** February 21, 2016, 01:10:28 AM »

That's a really overworked filter.

well using the link AoS (or 40k) in the right up section saves at least the first wave of crap

According to internet rumours there is a Start Collecting box, for Skeletons and Clan Pestilens coming very soon, And a Clan Pestilens battletome. Also rumoured to be more Stormcasts and Khorne Bloodbound releases, And then quite a few Orruk releases. From artwork, I would not be surprised to see a new Wyvern, or whatever they will call it.

Seems a second faction of Order is coming, to justify the new "Stormcasts" not being in the current Stormcast Battletome.
According to Turgol:

Crossing this info with the timeline on BoP, which ends with Draconion's roar and something stirring in the Chamber, I'am guessing it is indeed true that Dracoth Cavalry is next week's release. If this will be indeed a sizeable release, the reason they were not included in BT: SC could be that this is something like a new sub-faction, something like Draconion's sions or something.

Sigh, this slow drip of new and then mainly just the factions we've seen already is getting far too tedious. Maybe the orcs will be interesting but at a point how much more of factions we've seen can they come out with and then only take away from the older ranges and not give anything back.

Oxycutor · « **Reply #318 on:** March 01, 2016, 12:46:00 PM »

Much as I like the Stormcasts, I do feel that they have had too much focus already. Khorne, Stormcasts, Nurgle, and so on, should sit back and enjoy what they have for a while. They need to give more variety, Human and Elf (Aelf) players have seen very little attention, if there are Orruks on the horizon, I'd rather they went straight to that. Maybe it will just be a Start Collecting box for Stormcasts and Khorne, though there already bundle boxes for them.

StealthKnightSteg · « **Reply #319 on:** March 02, 2016, 11:18:02 PM »

interesting bit:

Quote from: Turgol;7603142

Let me interrupt this very interesting and on tópico discussion with some rumours. According to Squiggly on Natfka, Warzone Fenris 2 will be released after "Metal Duardin v. Tzeentch". Fenris 2 seems to focus (model release-wise) on daemons, so Tzeentch should be a double release. It is unclear whether there will be only daemons or also mortals and whether this metal Duardin and tzeentch in Chamon stuff is the rumoured box from Sad Panda or something else. Ir could be, though, that it is not Elfs vs Slaanesh but Dwarfs vs. Tzeentch. Both options sound great to me.

yeah inbound stuff!

Quote from: Archibald_TK;7604424

Next WD for your viewing pleasure:

- Battletome Stormcast Eternals EXTREMIS (Because they're more extreme than poor regular Stormcast peasants? It's the 90s all over again!) 21€ / £15 / $25 / AU$ 99.999
88 pages, 2 battleplans, 4 battalions, 7 warscrolls ( so 2 more units than what is already in the WD, they refer to something called a Star Drake so your guess is as good as mine regarding what it will be)

- Dracothian Guards (2 mounted Stormcasts like the one in the AoS box) 55€ / £40 / $65 / AU$ your mortgage

- Knight-Heraldor (1 model) 19.5€ / £15 / $25 / AU$ a trained battle kangaroo
Yup, it's just an alternate model of the previous Heraldor. Rejoice trumpet lovers for that one has no chance of sticking his instrument in his eye!

- Tempest Lords upgrades pack 9€ / £7 / $12 / AU$ your firstborn

- Starter paint sets 28€ / £20 / $33 / AU$ your soul
3 Marines or 3 Stormcasts, with 8 mini pots and a brush. Very very costly for the content so not really designed as an entry tool for kids, it's more for parents looking for a present I suppose.

- Super Glue €7.5 / £5.25 / $8.75 / AU$ 15 (hey, it's actually the real price!)
A box of 5x0.5g of glue, for a mighty total of 2.5g... ... ... I... I... I do not... wut?

WD starts with a photo that I assume is supposed to wake up all those who still believe for some reason that AoS is a skirmish game. Now go buy 12 more Varanguards and 24 Dracothian Guards while you're at it *WHIPLASH*!

5 warscrolls inside the WD, actually one for the Lord Celestant on Dracoth and 4 for the Dracothian Guards that are actually just the 4 weapons options. Fulminators (glaives), Tempestors (not-bolters crossbow), Concussors (hammers) and Desolators (axes, which actually increase their number of attacks the more they are in the unit, 3 for 2, 4 for 4 and 6 for 6... now go buy more!)

Next week hints is something something Dracothion and Warriors of the Extremis Chambers.

Oxycutor · « **Reply #322 on:** March 07, 2016, 03:25:12 PM »

My guess for the following week is the Stardrake.

I also get the impression from the pics that the Dracoth Guard kit also makes a Lord-Celestant on Dracoth

StealthKnightSteg · « **Reply #323 on:** March 07, 2016, 07:46:16 PM »

I like the idea of the cavalry riding Dracoths and the riders look ace... but why..why.. make a whole battletome evolve around 1 box of dracoth knights with 4 weapon options (which then leaves out so much diveristy between different units.. bar the weapons) and some stardrake probably also in 2-3 options like the Magmadroth.. and then mayhap 1 more kit..

Oxycutor · « **Reply #324 on:** March 07, 2016, 11:13:02 PM »

Yeah, that batttletome does feel like it's milking it a bit. Although it's much cheaper, and probably thinner than most battletomes. Not sure about this one
