GW News: SKAVEN VICTORY! #NewAoS

Who run Bartertown??

(C'mon, you were all thinking it!)

 

Skaven stormfiends kind of beat them to the punch, I think.

 

THEY ARE GIVING WARHAMMER UNDERWORLDS ONLINE FOR FREE ON STEAM UNTIL THE NEXT 10TH OF JUNE!

This is part of the current Warhammer Skull Festival event for Steam and GOG.com, were ALL the videogames have some sort of discount, and preview the next videogames and expansions they will release around the next year.

 

Any article talking about it or is it free with White Dwarf or something?

 

Now that is one nice set of terrain pieces!

Grrr, Imrahil

 

I might invest in this...

I'm a sucker for pretty scenery.

 

Get the 44 pages of core rules here! Literally 11 times the pages the game started with! (I would say the percentage, but I suck at that kind of math).

Monsters now count as 5 when taking objectives (and more stuff).

Stegageddon meta?

 

Today is the day. Dominion, plus the first scenery and GHB pre-orders. Anyone ready?

Also:

This is absolutely worthless:



This is cool:



All bonuses for pre-orders.

 

wanne bet it's instantly sold out, mostly bought by scalpers?

 

And they stack command abilities yet again in the ogor preview. Gotta love's GW's ability to consistently be inconsistent with their rules.

 

Yeah, I hate this limited edition route that GW are now going down for Indomitus and now Dominion, because it just seems pointless - why have all of this bother when they could have just released those boxes permanently as the main boxed games, with the smaller Recruit and Elite editions alongside them as budget sets, just as they did with Dark Imperium and Soul Wars?

And yep, scalpers are bastards. I know everything they do is legal and works in free trade and all, but I still think it’s morally dubious. The law of conscience should trump the law of business if society is worth its salt.

 

I don't get why they don't just keep 1-2 of these starter sets, lets say the last two, around indefinitly. Seems like the perfect box to draw in fresh players as it actually contains two decently worked out armies alongside some fluff.

 

New Blood Bowl star player:

 

Jokes on you, there is actually still on existence to this wednesday, my dude.

You had to queue and the orders were limited to two per user. Maybe AoS is not the juggernaut (or dreadnaught, that's up to you) that is 40K, but it is amazing that it is still available up to 5 days later. Maybe it is a actually a hidden Made to Order release to fool scalpers.

Want one still? you can order one for yourself today.

Speaking of today:



See the full article, and Twitch repetition, here.

Bullet points (directly copypasted):

• A wealth of Warhammer animation
• Weekly in-house Warhammer hobby shows
• A digital vault of classic Warhammer publications and White Dwarf issues
• Full access to Warhammer Apps (that’s Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, with more to come!)
• Premium access to our official events
• Exclusive subscriber offers
• A free exclusive Citadel miniature worth at least £25* every year
• Access to a second exclusive subscriber miniature

Miniatures to choose, an absolutely, fucking awesome Vindicare Assassin, or one angery Megaboss boy.




New WHTV shows:

• Citadel Colour Masterclass: advanced painting videos. With a girl as a host, so this is an absolute win. No signals of Duncan coming back tho.
• Loremasters: Classes of lore by masters of it. Hey, you give me very little to work with titles like this.
• Battle Reports: There's a spin here: the battle themselves are the ones who report themes they liked around the week- no, it isn't, wysiwyg.

I am extremely surprised with GW right now. In a pleasing way.

Dominion release was smooth as silk and Warhammer+ is not the trainwreck I admittedly wanted it to be.

I at least am very hyped for proper Masterclass videos (who knows, maybe they will bring 'Eavy Metal and Golden Demon personalities at some point).

Still, I will wait a little longer before adding an annual sub to the card. And I do wonder what those "exclusive subscriber offers" really are. I'm not expecting anything juicy, but I wouldn't be upset to get one.
