Age of Sigmar General

I thought lady atia pointed to the next campaign book, battle for allpoints, but we've only seen evidence of battletome everchosen. So maybe after the varanguard kit, that weird summoner mini, and the battletome, we may get the campaign book, which may happen before the new year. January is when we are supposed to get the duardin and fyreslayers

What books do I have to buy to get all if most of the scenarios? I heard people talk about how scenarios really balance the game out.

Age of Sigmar and Quest for Ghal Maraz probably have the most scenarios. The Dreadhold battletome may have the same number, but they're likely all tied to using the Dreadhold in some way.

Stormcast, Bloodbound, and Seraphon battletomes all come with three battleplans I think.

You can also buy the battleplans separately on the AoS app.

There is this battleplan too which GW apparently included with certain orders or something like that.

>>43922781
The necks kinda look like dicks.

>>43923606
GAZE UPON THE EVERCHOSEN AND HIS THREE DICKS

>>43923534
Ok so I can buy the age of sigmar and quest and since I play Stormcast I can buy the battle tome , thanks.

>>43923664

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the battleplans in the battletomes require one side to be using a certain army. Someone who has actually purchased one can say for certain.

All the battleplans are also scanned in one of the download links in OP's pastebin

So when will GW produce minis for AoS that doesn't look like rubbish?

>>43923854
When you realise that different people have different tastes.

>>43922781
I was wondering where the slaanesh head was, then I realised it was probably under the loincloth.

>>43923958
Nah, I'm pretty sure AoS fans just have shit taste.

>>43924004
This is a troll, guys. Ignore it and move on. Haters gonna hate.

>>43924026
>haters gonna hate

What is this, 2008?

>>43923981
Slaanesh is no more. His daemons still run around, but Slaanesh itself was destroyed.

Why? Because of marketability. You can't sell Slaanesh to children and expect to have the parents pay money.

Only the big three are left.

>>43923854
plastic khornedog and the marauders are alright

shame about the rest though

>>43924077
Show me where in the fluff it confirms she/he/it/zhe was destroyed. All I have ever read was that she is missing. Nothing more has been said about it.

Slaanesh was missing when the other gods decided they wanted Archaon to pledge allegiance to them alone. They each sent a champion who got beaten by Archaon and whose remains were eaten by Dorghar, resulting in the heads.

>>43924282

I don't even know if you could call them horses.

>>43923743
this this is why AOS is balanced its a new kind of game in a tournament you literally would be expected to play the battleplans of your openent or if your round in the torniment was at the dreadhold table the TO would leave a dreadhold rule book at that table and use thous battle plans and vice versa THAT is how you really comp age of sigmar it how it becomes a torniment game and its how its designed and ment to be balanced I cant believe you guys didn't figure this out when judging it at first literally we have given this game a horrible reputation by assuming you just play the same boring mission over and over mission objectives and battleplans are HOW this game balance and how taking some huge horde is not a good idea. this game is balanced with these books not some made up system literally when every one was making fun of AOS not selling its books and being crap they didn't realize the thing that made it uncrap was in thous books.. oh the assumptions or the irony oh internet.. it actually works and makes it balanced its just a new way of thinking about war gaming. hell if you keep using the battleplans you will pretty quickly realize that battleplans are a huge part of the AOS design and Balance and literally how its "take any thing you want" rules get balanced out guys you need to see the biger pitcture we have been ignoring these books for months larphing they didn't sell and now only now we realize the battleplans are top notch and make use of the skills and abilities in your army not just the model count or wounds etc etc that shit doesn't matter AOS IS TRULY A MISSION BASED WARGAME. TO's trying to organize how to play AOS competitively need to read these fucking books and actually play games and then set up say one mission for every table at the tournament maybe one or two table with dreadhold and have a borrowed dreadhold book left at that table. this is how age of sigmar is meant to be played missions are points/FOC in aos and yes$

>>43924695
Thank you my good sir

>>43924683
I mean this is how AOS works.. lissen up TO's you need to buy books and yes GW wants to literally sell you missions to keep the game balanced but surprisingly they do infact work >>43923294

I think all a TO needs to do is not make a comp list ignore all that maybe a model count at most but don't limit the sideboard it should be any thing possible to carry. all the TO needs to do is create a system where you move from table to table at a tournament and every one of the 30 tables has a diferent battleplan you play best of 3 and you need your main armys battletomb first round is the tables battleplan and then second round is a battleplan from who ever won losts book you decide.

literally that's how you balance AOS in a nutshell and its fucking so simple and the fact the wargaming community missed it is quite sad and shows how we judge things too quickly. Imagine showing up on the Dreadhold table and having the book there and knowing your in for some fun. The way AOS balance works is that its based on Tools and not Power levels you need the right tools to do a variety of missions so the more missions possible in the torniment the more balanced a list you have to make.. LITERALLY AOS SOLVED.

its taken us 6months but we finally "figured" it out

>>43924683
What is your favorite battleplan so far? The one from GhalMaraz where one side defends a relic horn from being destroyed is my favorite so far.

>>43924714
oh and in regards to take what ever you want the point of your army codex in AOS is not that its the army you have the most models of its just the book you pick to be used in your second round in the best of 3. your army could have a combined force of order distruction chaos and undead but you get to decide what missions you pick and what formations etc would match it etc. so basically you have to pick a "main" .

this is literally the simplest comp in the world and I have no idea why GW hasn't spelled it out in clear English to us its obviously pretty clear what they have done. and its really really smart. because people will "main" new armys to get the compedative edge not because the new army is OP but because it has battleplans that would make your round2 or 3 more to your army comps advantage.

seriously its so simple whyyyyyyy didn't any one buy the god dam books at first.. now it all makes sense every one kept saying it will get balanced over time but it was always there in the battle plans waiting for us to discover it. we spoke too soon.

>>43924722
yer its like Team Fortress or some thing its great. lots of modern games are balanced around "the map" and so is AOS you know how LOS is a huge thing in 40k well GW used that knowledge and made the literal table set up part of the games balance replacing points and giving every one total freedom while also having a balanced practical system based on sort of a running narrative. if you cant see how this is not wargaming 2.0 then seriously you need to go get the books right now and read them and see what I mean NO ONE EVEN LOOKED AT THEM ITS HALERIOUSE

>>43924762
>>43924743
>>43924714
>>43924683
Anon, just shut up please, you're making us look stupid.
AoS is not balanced, it is not meant for a tournament as it is and the battleplans alone don't fix the hole that is the no limits to an army's numbers, composition and evocations.
You should have rules that would replace the gentlemen's agreement without impairing the freedom in composition, an even more difficult task than just having a point limit and point costs.
You really are short sighted if you believe what you wrote, but you could also be a troll for all I know.

Bought it this morning, very dumbed down, I love AoS but its simplicity doesn't work for skirmish/campaign games. I'd give it a miss and torrent the original Realm of Chaos books or the 6th ed Path to Glory rules instead.

There is a lot of homage in Archaon to icons like Death Dealer created by Frank Frazetta, and obscure ones like the name of his sword that is a hidden reference to a comic called "Young Master" which I loved as a lad.

I think it was butthurt.

>>43930807
>>43930819
Archaon was a true believer in Chaos.
A pious worshiper of the dark powers.

>>43930669
Who are you talking with? Everyone was aware of chaos warriors and especially their champions being extremely powerful entities elevated to be closer to the gods themselves.

Maybe you're mistaking this concept with the idea of chaos having no opposition at all, which is arguably valid or we would have had no setting at all both now and then.

>>43930864
>which is arguably valid or we would have had no setting at all both now and then.

It's like the Mortarchs, their creatures are just giant creatures that don't matter except to give them height.

Malekith had history with his dragon, Archaon with his horse.

But the Pox Nurgle End Times things by contrast are just excuses for a visually impressive style without lore substance.

>>43931043
>Malekith had history with his dragon, Archaon with his horse.

It's the same horse he's had since Hordes of Chaos. It's just been changed overtime. He has more history with it now.
At first he just stole it from some daemon lord's stables and rode around. He was just another piece of Archaon's Chaos collection.
Now there's a stronger "battle-forged" link because he's grown more powerful by consuming his and Archaon's enemies.

>>43931102
And it's turning into a horrible cross between He-man and MLP.

>>43931067
Noted. The Maw was just ridiculous for killing heroes.

>>43931085
I cant believe how absurd Ironguts are. I don't know who gave them a 4+ save but they need to be slapped.

>>43931102
It wasn't even a horse at the time Archaon stole it. While Archaon was struggling with it while both them were falling from tower, it was constantly changing shapes.

When Archaon tamed it, it took the form of Archaon's faithful dead horse. The horse he rode when he was a Warrior Priest.

Essentially, it's just a feral daemon.

>>43930503
>>I had scribbled some notes on the gods of Law I wanted to use at some point. But really, End Times are a business decision, not a creative decision.
I'm happy the Gods of Law have legitimacy, and someone with credentials confirmed what I've been saying for years.

>>43930897
Apparently not a factor.
>>43931102
>>43931205
The shape matters a great deal. It's an entirely different look and character now.

>>43931332
>That's nothing new. We've all been saying that for years.

Only after I've shown you all the fluff and beaten it into your thick skulls and then after you're all done throwing your temper tantrums about Chaos sues. Never ending temper tantrums, because still no one really excepts it.

>>43931310
It means they were planned to be big, and cut content matters more than a throwaway retcon.

>>43931369
>It's an entirely different look and character now.

Which does not mean the "battle-forged link" has been lost.

>>43931351

It's a new look. That's not a plot or emotional development, and there isn't even a story tied to the transition.

He's no longer a character, he's just Archaon's booster seat to be the tallest model on his side of the board.

>>43931384
Yeah, no.

If anything people argued with you because you constantly threw tantrums whenever the getting "infinitely delayed" part was brought up.

Others just live out their lives.

There's story for why he looks like that, not just what he looks like.

I've been playing them Warhammer Fantasy games that came out recently, and it kind hurt to find out that GW decided to erase all of that beautiful lore they had in place for Age of Sigmar. Is there any hope for the old stuff to comeback as a spinoff?

>Is there any hope for the old stuff to comeback as a spinoff?

Yup. GW is relaunching specialist games, so expect stuff like Mordheim, Man O' War, Warmaster and who knows, maybe even a little WHFB system.

>>43932412

That's good to hear.

>>43932376

>>43931559
>>43930476
>Why is that important to a battle-forged link?
A "simple" steed was chosen to give obvious guidelines to read the character and to evoke peculiar themes.
The horse was able to balance the importance of the character on top of it without overshadowing it, it was a clear link to commonly known imagery of lords, generals and conquerors, it was not a weapon fighting for the character, it merely was his legs; the horse and the guy riding it made a link to the more realistic part of the world, but also portrayed how doomed it was for the sheer simplicity of it, it was the world twisting and turning back to be its destroyer, not another of those multiversal and incomprehensible monsters coming to claim it.
It was a big and clean concept in a small and clean frame, able to feel plainly powerful and important in spite of its size, both rider and mount.

The new archaon broke that link when the marketing decided that bigger=betterer and that additions can compensate concept, falling into the horror vacui caused by lack of inspiration.
That's what Toumas is saying and what everyone can get at a mere glimpse.
Is it a good mini? Perhaps so, it's technically an awesomely produced piece, with a strong presence and connections to AoS.
Is it archaon? Not really, it's something else, to use his words.

All Path to Glory really is a bunch of rules for your Championd gaining the favour of the Dark Gods.
No one else does this.

Path to Glory isn't an even per se. It is just a way to show Chaos life.

AoS seems 30mm epic scale so far.

>>43932614
You're saying a lot with addressing the point of a "battle-forged link."
Fact is Archaon's mount has grown progressively grander since he was introduced.
First a simple chaos horse.
Then a massive daemon steed.
Now a three headed flying abomination.

The mount grows as Archaon's prominence within the forces of Chaos rise.

Throwaway lore, not a campaign.
>They're good guys. Why would they fight each other over that?
Because lore should reflect the fact that Stormcasts can fight each other via logical reasoning, but that's a different conversation.

Point is there's plenty of event potential, but only Chaos ever gets explored.

Fuck, 90% of the Elf plots in Fantasy was the civil war. No events ever occurred.
Tomb Kings and Vampires? Nope.
Skaven and Empire? Nada.

Just Chaos, all the time. Every time.

>Phoenix Guard, Witches, Sigmarites, the Vampric Undead grow in power and mutate as they kill and survive...

No they don't.

Chaos never had a campaign all to itself either. All campaigns were about all the factions clashing in some manner.

>Because lore should reflect the fact that Stormcasts can fight each other via logical reasoning

Stormcast don't need to fight each other.

>Point is there's plenty of event potential, but only Chaos ever gets explored.

How so? Where was all this extra Chaos exploring?

>>43932864

>>43932913
>They actually do, though. It's a part of that ugly banner bearer's fluff.

Yes, it's part of a trial to see who gets to hold the standard. There;s also a coliseum where they train but no one can die in it where they spar.
Sorry if I misunderstood fighting to mean actual fighting rather than sport.
If you want an anime tournament arc where all the Stormhosts get together to fight and prove themselves to be Shaman King then just do it.

>>43932955
Then there must be a different conception of the meaning of those words to comment the change of mount from the two of us.

>>43932768
>Okay, you don't like it, but it is story advancement.

Story advancement isn't inherently a good thing.

>>43933042
Okay. To me a "battle-forged link" would be the bond that develops between two people or a person and an animal as they fight together.
Dorghar and Archaon getting more powerful as they fight together would in my mind only increase the strength of that bond and not diminish it in anyway.

Why do you think?

I never said it was.

Witches were directly blessed by Slaanesh or Khaine depending on edition.

>Chaos never had a campaign all to itself either. All campaigns were about all the factions clashing in some manner.
Every single Path of Glory. Nobody else gets those.

You may get Sigmar's Blood, but that's a story about other characters with a foregone conclusion. Only Chaos gets open-ended "your dudes" lore.
>Stormcast don't need to fight each other.
Exactly. That's bad.
In a wargame where you can end up with more than one player with the same faction, there should actually be reasonable explanation for them fighting other than LOLCHAOS or LOLMISCOMMUNICATION without being full-retard. That's a flaw of the greater setting though, hence the "that's another conversation" line.

>>43933033
>you want an anime tournament arc where all the Stormhosts get together to fight and prove themselves to be Shaman King then just do it.
We want something GW puts out, since Chaos gets it.
But only Chaos has GW support. Chaos and Stormcast Marines.

>>43933134
>Why do you think?
Because those words were used to comment on the aesthetic of the model, so I'm addressing the change in look and visual themes. Not the fluff behind it or the literal sense of the words used, just their relative use: There's a different interaction between a knight and his horse than the one between the rider and his 3 headed monster.
Even if dorghar is the same in fluff, in practice it is different in all but name, model wise that is, where you can see the distinct interaction and balance between rider and mount.
Differences exemplar of the themes behind it which I addressed previously. That was the "battle-forged link" I was talking about.

>>43933682
Swordmark? That's not too bad actually. Khorne daemon?

>>43933651

>>43933727
>Which is terrible since Vampire Bloodline wars would be perfect for it.

How?
That would just be a campaign of Fantasy with Vampire armies.
Vampires don't fight for the patronage of Gods which bless then with power.

>>43933685
>That was the "battle-forged link" I was talking about.

I don't see how that has anything to do with a "battle-forged link" to be honest. A man and his long time fighting companion will have such a link regardless of the appearance of said companion.
A "Battle-forged link" has little to do with simple aesthetics unless you can apply an apporpriate amount of grizzlement which not iteration of Archaon has ever had.

Vampires grow stronger by surviving, killing.
They can also feed on each other.

More importantly, they can fuck up their minds and bodies by growing too strong too quick. They all hate each other and are out to get each other, and every other being is a means to their end.

Sound familiar?

How is the same thing with Chaos be more interesting? Because of the Chaos Gods? Are they such fascinating case studies all stories involving them must be told, fuck all other groups?

>>43934021
>Vampires grow stronger by surviving, killing.

They grow stronger by getting older.

>They can also feed on each other.

That's just like having sex to them. If you want a vampire sex game then go to WoD.

>More importantly, they can fuck up their minds and bodies by growing too strong too quick.

Not really. They're mind get fucked either by them not having enough and succumbing to their inner beast (varghulf) or by being denied blood for a long time (vargheist).

>How is the same thing with Chaos be more interesting?

Because it's not the same.

>Because of the Chaos Gods?

The gods and their fickle favour is what the Chaos faction revolves around.

>Are they such fascinating case studies all stories involving them must be told, fuck all other groups?

Other groups just don't have the same narrative as path to glory. Other factions just fight. You can handle that with a basic campaign. But Path to Glory allows Chaos to grow and change as it should.

>>43934021
Given abhorash cured his thirst and became mega strong by feeding on a dragon, wonder what happens if a vamp manages to feed on one of the celestial drakes like dracothion.

>>43934131
So your argument is the only group you feel is interesting enough to have a solo campaign is Chaos, because its Chaos.

GW should like so totally hire you, omigawd.

>If you knew anything about Warhammer lore you'd know the Vampires sure as fuck grow stronger.

>Every single Path of Glory. Nobody else gets those.

Path to Glory is not a campaign, it's rules to run campaigns for Chaos warbands vying for power. No one else really needs those extra rules.

>Exactly. That's bad.

Not really. With Stormcast they're going for paragons of good. They probably shouldn't be fighting each other. Perhaps they can over time, but for now they are very on mission.

>So your argument is the only group you feel is interesting enough to have a solo campaign is Chaos, because its Chaos.

Not interesting no. But other races don't get blessed like Chaos do, and so having those extra rules would not fit them.

The Gods just want to destroy the galaxy like they did to the Old World in WHFB.

In 40k it's a lot more about the internal struggle of mankind and the different mortal factions are much more richer in fluff.

Yeah, but by contrast the mortal factions are much less interesting.

>>43935609
Anon, Chaos is random. You probably have to roll on the secret table to decide who gets new things, which character becomes awesome, retconned, and which GW employee gets fired.

Do any GW stores still support Warhammer Fantasy enough to run tournaments? Mine still has a lot of fantasy stuff on display I never see anyone playing it anymore.

>>43935438
40k mortals rely on one of two plots.

"Damn, we're fucked"

This is the case except for Skullcrushers and Razorgors.

Skullcrushers you can get two units out of one box. Razorgors you have to buy three.

Though I did see it mentioned that Slaanesh was also supposed to be more than just sex.

>>43931332

Didn't stop people from acting all surprised when Chaos ran roughshod in the End Times.

>>43931419

The rules for generating a warband are all in the first part. Subsequent parts sound like they're going to be battleplans and painting guides.

>>43931970

It's kind of funny to me that the people who shit on how GW names Chaos characters these days would likely be all over this when they're pretty close to being the same shit.

>>43932412

I really wish people would stop getting others hopes up with blatant bullshit.

There is nothing saying what the new specialist studio is going to work on, it's all they could be doing X or doing Y, but nothing is set in stone.

>>43932978

Any patron

>>43933297

It's really not

Nothing is stopping you from having an Undivided army, the only thing that is being rightly curtailed is idea that you should be receiving blessings and/or even daemonhood from four beings who are said to be near constantly fighting and monstrously selfish.

I'm perfectly fine with Undivided only being a status handed out to certain characters, not something that every snowflake and their mother can get.

It'd be different if Chaos meant something other than the four gods, but it doesn't most of the time.

>>43935660

Usually it depends on the manager. The one at my local GW for example had no problem with someone trying to get a Mordheim league going.

>>43939164
>>There is nothing saying what the new specialist studio is going to work on

The official announcement mentioned a few game, but not any WHFB related, and Blood Bowl ain't happen in Old World. However, it is not bullshit.

>>43939649

Yes, mentioned, to give people an idea of what they're talking about. However those were in no confirmations that those games were being worked on.

There is a difference between making the possibility known and saying for sure it is going to happen, the former is fine while the latter is bullshit.

The next board game apparently coming from GW is Deathwatch versus Genestealers, though whether it's the GW Studio that is responsible or this new Specialist Studio is unknown.

Since FW is a part of this new studio, it's worth considering that the first game they work on may be Battlefleet Gothic, which they included rules for in some of the Imperial Armor books, or Aeronautica Imperialis, a game they themselves made.

English rule leak, any number of model per unit, sound like a blender without Hero(mostly negative) keyword.

>>43940776
So these guys are like super chaos knights. Expensive if you go by wounds, and I would imagine very expensive in comps like azyr or SDK, but with archaon on the field, most likely worth it. I'm not sure i'd run them with a joe shmo lord or something.

>>43937129
>he doesn't know about the winds of magic creating a mournful haunting noise through the horn

I suppose the winds of magic is not even in AoS.

>>43940959
>second pile-in
>those spear stats
better than knights even without archaon

shame they're ugly as fuck

>>43942042
I think they look pretty badass, lots of detail.

But yeah they are very tough with a native 3+ and 5w a pop, but would be a big investment in most comps, especially if people will have a tendency to run 3 of them.

Currently just to get an idea, i am trying to calculate their costs through SDK (which is what Adepticon will be using for their AoS tournament). It's a long equation so it will be a bit.

>>43942152
Ok the SDK calculation system is way too fucking complicated. I only got so far, and I assumed several things. So without calculating in its PVS modifier, they come to around 110 points each...i think. Very expensive.

>>43937112
You should have got rid of those mold lines.

>>43942010

If I recall correctly, the Mortal Realms are supposed to be the origins of the winds or the personifications of them, something like that according to a Codex Apocrypha article in WD.

Really, do not get your hopes up that everything listed is even coming and even if it does it won't be anytime soon.

>>43943197

Eh, they're supposed to be decent sized models. A lot of the high prices in AoS have seemingly resulted from the fact that the models are bigger.

>>43943174
why don't you just get dreadfleet......... you realize the old world is gone... and the lack of old world specialist games seems pretty explicitly implied they built a historical museum for it at warhammer world for a reason... its gone

Never, they don't exist. Empire doesn't either.

Neither army is reflected in any artwork.

Mordheim ip rights was sold off to the computer games

>>43945540
That makes no sense. There are blood bowl and BFG computer games and those aren't preventing GW doing those as specialist games. GW's just licenced things out for specific computer game products, they haven't sold off the whole licence.

>>43945540
Fantasy too apparently.
