    To be honest, from a realistic point of view, shooting out of combat is weird.. but isn't 95% of everything in a fantasy game

    I like that ranged units van shoot in combat purely because of all the quick first, second turn charges.
    AoS is a close combat game and there are enough mechanics in the game the support that.

    Cut those sad little arrowboys some slack..

    I hadn't noticed that that was a spell, I just thought it was a funky bit of scenery. It would be cool if we did have our own unique mobile spell, what with us being the masters of magic and all

    Haha would be the best. Or even just all spells on the field! I also think slan should have minimum +1 to spell/dispell

    GW could well do it… but with a strict rule that you must have the official model for the permanent spell, so they gain more money.

    I just noticed there was another mention of the new shooting rules in the StormCast (podcast thing).
    It seems the 40K-pistols rule will indeed apply. So you can shoot while in combat, but only at the unit(s) you are in combat with.

    Content is... as expected by now. Nothing more than that single rule.

    ....and no Seraphon today. Kharadron Overlords are next in line.

    Nothing so big. Just one thing that was already known. A sensible change, I'd say

    All their ships received a reduction in points, well if I soon start seeing more ships from my opponent then I will know why

    Quiet big reduction frankly speaking. Almost 1/3

    So it would be either more ships in future lists or more troops as there is more points leftover to spend. My last fight with them didn't go well at all, will have to rethink my plans now.

    But how will that work lore-wise with Seraphon, who are from "the heavens?"

    Since most of the Faction Focus articles so far have either contained or been accompanied by related rules updates, and since Summoning and Magic were NOT accompanied by a Seraphon article, I wonder if information about the Realms choice will accompany our Focus. I wonder if there's a limitation or randomizing element to Realm choice, but Seraphon somehow enjoy a wider or more robust choice? I dunno.

    I think it was earlier this thread, but Grombindal said that some Seraphon have been around for long enough to become real, so we could have Temples established here and there. So super nerd moment but I fished Silver Tower with some friends, got to make a request from someone and my Seraphon are all alive and well, just feral bc....change lol
