Where it is exactly? Can you share a link, please? I checked recent WHAoS posts but didn't find anything.
Agreed. I feel like i owe it to myself (and my 90 painted saurus) to at least see how that list comes together. There will be a lot to figure out.
We don't know, but Warscroll Battalion with massively powerful abilities like Shadowstrike or Thunderquake are just not a thing in AoS 2.0. They might very well still exist in name and probably even in the playstyle/list type they cater to, but nowhere near their current power. I would consider us lucky if we end up with two (barely) useable battallions to gain access to a CP and an additional relic without paying too much tax.
This is sad if true. No wary fighter for skinks is kinda sucks. Guards 2 wounds but with nerfs (I imagine the Sworn Guardians ability is now gone).
One thing i'd like to see though is skinks battleline IF allegiance Seraphon. That would prevent stormcast players from abusing our unit and cause a nerf to us on the count of them playing skinks.
Yes, the Skinks, Sauras, and Kroxigors have always come from Spawning Pools. Our Dinosaurs on the other hand, have always been worldly creatures that breed, lay eggs/procreate, and are tamed by Skink handlers or cowed by Sauras savagery. Odd that they're now lumped in with the rest of our actual 'races'. Not sure I like that. Especially considering the Temple Ships are supposed to have vast swathes of the Lustrian Jungles intact inside them. Meaning the Stegadons and such could continue living as the beasts they are.
In AoS nothing technically has ever been an "actual race" because before the current book we were space dust.
Except not really. The Short Story from Malign Portents predates this book and talks about spawning pools, and lustrian jungles from the world that was on the ships. Everything from the our first battletome is wrong, and supposition. They didn't write it out, and let it stay up in the air. Remember originally AOS wasn't going to be a wargaming setting, we hav i't from a GW reps mouth that it was going to be a boutique line of miniatures.
I'm not going to be upset until I see the whole picture. I don't get how you can nerf Guard further. Only by price hike. And I can see why they removed wary fighter - it is just not fun for our opponents and GW tend to remove such things. But it is still can be a command ability for Fangs of Sotek. Both skinks with bucklers and guard should get +1 save too.
Yeah, i dunno if we can say the first battletome was wrong. For basically 4 years it was literally all the lore we had, so it was real enough to me.
Sure, but Pretrifex Elite and DoT shooting is also unfun for the opponent. So it seems like an inconsistent approach.
They can bring them, but they aren't battleline. Also, they were never battleline for allegiance stormcast. Allies can not count towards filling your battleline requirements. They were only ever battleline for Grand Allegiance Order and Seraphon.
It was wrong. It never gave a definitive answer and felt like it was written from the perspective of a mortal in the realms. That's why it can be wrong, yet real.
There were however some stories that featured Seraphon and it definitely use the lore from the battletome as the back bone. That was all during the realmgate wars though. so maybe the past couple hundred years was when the coalesced started to come about.
You mean you don't love slogging through 200 wounds of horrors you can't retreat from while getting tabled by flamers? Weird
