AoS Second Edition

Meh, I'm going to have to paint them.

 

That's it. I'm calling armored slaan and armored kroxigors

 

I might use Aventis's mount for my Hysh Beastmen, not sure what to use it for though.
The other one just keeps reminding me of a baby version of a Carnosaur

 

I wouldn't bet on it!

 

That can't be right. It's AoS... SCE > Slann

 

@Killer Angel nope its separate. And now we know why they changed Arcane Bolt, to make it better for SCE lol

 

My real gripe is that with all this the Carno gets more and more lack luster! There. I said it. And I do feel better. Lmao

 

I do wish the carno was a bit more fearsome but I feel like with the new spells, command ability rules, and others buffs they can still be pretty nasty.

Although in the spirit of recent posts the SCE do seem to have the entire game built around them, with new features only added when it benefits them. That said I'm torn, other than some of the heroes I actually really like the new stormcast and nighthaunt and will probably be building both as my next armies.

 

In AoS it is a sad reality. SCE > everything

 

I'm on the black coach myself @claymore36

 

imho, most of em don't look terrible and even tend to have fairly interesting rules. It's just that they tend to have better stuff than nearly everything else. It's quite weird to see it to this degree for only 1 faction. At least usually you have 2 factions that get all the glory so there's at least some competition.

 

Looks like a crazy huge model resting on a tiny spindly-little base.

But speaking of that base... that statue looks pretty awesome, I kinda want a skeleton army based around that dude.

 

My problem isn't that the Stormcast are too powerful, it's that they're always getting new things an neglecting other faction just so the they can get an update. For all i care, since i don't play the game, the Stomcast could be the worst faction in the game rules wise, i would still dislike the overwhelming favoritism that GW shows them.

When talking about balance, i do think GW have stepped up their game a lot since AoS was released. GW is actually interacting with the community, a prospect that would have been unthinkable 8-10 years ago and taking criticism from them and using it effectively. Stormcast currently isn't the strongest faction, and i think that is intended. Their entire design philosophy appears too be jack of all trades master of none.

Ohh, this community is absolutely an echo chamber. Many of the people on here is former fantasy players and let's just say that the "End Times" left a very bad taste in many fantasy players mouths, some more than others. But you are correct about this site being much of an echo chamber, we all like too shit on GW, even when they are doing good things, because many of us have seen firsthand the stupidity, favoritism and complete neglect of entire factions and tabletop games that GW has done. I think many of us straight up refuse too acknowledge all the good GW is doing, but this community is getting better at looking at GW in a relatively positive light. if you look at other Warhammer community's, especially those on reddit, you will realise that this community isn't that much of an echo chamber as it could be.

 

+1, and a shocking +1 at that
