AoS NEW *rumor*

LizardWizard said:
Terrain plays a big role at tournaments. If you can suddenly make that arcane terrain piece that all the enemy wizards clumped onto dangerous then you have a huge advange. Or maybe make it overgrown. Now all their line of sight spells can't be used.

Of course it's going to be usefull in specific situations, and possibly quite good at higher levels where a single move can make or break a game.. I'm just saying that in general rules that play around with terrain are fairly uninteresting and underwhelming in AoS as generally speaking there simply isn't a whole lot of terrain and the special rules that alter terrain so far haven't been too impressive. Hence I'm curious and a bit worried about what it'l actually be. It needs to be a fairly exciting and special effect, for it to be interesting.

Doubly so given that this is the only proper new thing we get. If the ziggurat isn't exciting the release just becomes very boring even if the rules are competitive, which would be dissapointing.

That's specific to KO though, not to garrisons in general.

The trait for Despoilers Legion of the Damned for S2D is amazing. Blocking line of sight is huge, even when tied to terrain. Specially in a meta dominated by Flamers of Tzeentch spam.
 
So my plan worked. Kinda like a reverse psychology thing. Said it wouldn't be today and it was lol. People are talking about a 3 min vid but I've only seen a 1 min one with the guy hovering and summoning his units

I thought the new Start Collecting box will be released alongside the old one, as that one contains all Saurus? If not, why didn’t they call this new one SC Seraphon rather than SC Skinks?

Hopefully something along the lines where "Skinks" is a faction with special bonuses for an all skink army/battalion. Would make sense if they are allowing an all monsters army/battalion with stegadons as battleline.
 
An all-monster army was top of my wish list! However, without some objective-based rules to back it up, we’ll just be summoning hordes of skinks instead of taking them in the army list...

So what can we learn from the Saurus Oldblood warscroll?

  • He's getting more attacks and a better save
  • Both celestial and demon keywords seem to be gone
  • He is no longer bravery 10
  • Wrath of the Seraphon seems to be his command ability, but I can't make out what it does.
  • He does have an ability, but it does not appear to be the Stardrake Shield anymore.
Anyone spot anything else?

his spear lost it's rend he lost a ability to let friendlies reroll 1s to wound he now gets 2 hits when he rolls 6s
 
PabloTho said:
3+ save is nice, but the fact that his melee profiles are basically the same is a bit of a slap in the face considering he's a bit of a chump in that area.

It’s probably going to be decent, as with explosive 6s on say a maul could be decent. Also still buffable.

However I’m not pleased about the loss of Stardrake shield

without the rend resistance he is slightly better defended but not by much he got a good comand ability but lost every thing else i think he is a slight down grade to a already bad unit

Lets hope the alliegence abilities can buff him up, because if this is the rest of the army we’re fucked
 
Lizerd said:
My guess is the alliegence abilities will have a big impact.

I’m guessing the coalesced will get better wound rolls and saves while daemons are faster and get better hits. Fingers crossed they don’t mess this up

I see the missing rend on OB's spear and have a thought...

What if...

What if Coslesced get a universal +1 to rend? After Petrifex Elite that doesn't even seem that outrageous.

Oh shit, that actually makes sense. That would make the Oldblood a monster. Wouldn’t be surprised as ossiarch warscrolls didn’t seem outrageous initially, so there is a very real possibility
 
Pretty exciting times!

To be honest a bit disappointed we don't get a new boss or leader.. would have been cool to have one new guy.
Skink box is quite attractive purchase, no mention if it will be a limited release?

I don't have the flyers.. though a 2nd basti and more skinks is a good thing.
Not sure I like the ziggurat ... looks like a pain to transport...


BUT even though I'm sounding negative I pretty stoked.. just a bit sad that Saurus players not getting new models. Hopefully the rules make up for their derpy look.
