I wouldn't consider anything we've seen giving "low wound infantry battleline bonuses"

More like, giving trolls/ogors/3-4 wound big base guys bonuses.

Honestly, take absolutely minimum Veterans. If all or even some battleplans give up that much VP for them, they aren't worth it. Bounty Hunter fulminators/Spiterider Lancers will just rip them to pieces.

More leaks coming up. Curious one is lumineth that has entire new hero. Makes one think lumineth book was supposed to be out but delayed for fall and unless they release new hero randomly for them does suggest them being order book.

Didn't catch any new unit from tzeentch though not don't recall their units at heart so possible i missed(blur didn't help). Still could be fall chaos but no equal hint there.

Did notice flamers and (lol) kairic acolytes going up. Lol. But overall point changes super light. No changes on stuff like sentinels, fulminators, dragons, raptors, nurgle beasts, nurgle flying blight lords, gutrippas, boltboys. Ogors just thundertusk frostlord and beastriders going down.

Skaven mostly going down buckling aos3 battletome trends. Sylvaneth going up following it.

Scinari Enlightener...interesting!

I guess that's their single character relase to go with the Battletome

Whee. Rules giving low wound battleline infantry bonuses...but if 2vp per dead such　unit is common feature that's...lots of vp's being bleeding.

Hm. 1vp per unit I'd be down with, but 2vp seems too much to me even without the (admittedly avoidable) +1 for every model being in objective range when it dies.

Sylvaneth Vanguard box

Looks pretty decent. All but the branchwych have multiple build options so multiple purchase aren’t an issue

Interesting. Surprised by the lack of dryads.

Are the Revenant dudes Battleline? If I'm going to make a Sylvaneth army one day, I'd prefer to not include any 15 year old models. Dryad were ok when they were released but are starting to show their age.

Tree-Revenants are Battleline.
Kurnoth Hunters are Battleline in the Heartwood subfaction.
Spite-Revenants(the alt build for Tree Revenants) are Battleline in Dreadwood(Drycha's subfaction).
Treelords are Battleline in Oakenbrow subfaction.

Dryads are native Battleline, but also summonable by the Lady of Vines.

So you get a Battleline(Tree-Revenants) and two conditional battlelines plus a hero(Branchwych)!

That's a pretty good vanguard box. Similar to the Nurgle one, you could easily double up on that without an issue.

Buy ten of this and run the wyches as Dryads.

Best Vanguard ever.

Hm, free points update. Neat

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/06/21/free-points-updates-for-warhammer-age-of-sigmar-as-we-march-into-a-new-season/

Having just started a Hedonites army to challenge myself on the table and with the brush, I'm fairly happy at a glance!

Kinda on the fence with the Hedonite update in points. If just because I'm seeing quite a lot of rises. Then again 3.0 has been a really strange edition in my view after 2.0.

Slaanesh I think feels it more keenly because of the summoning leading to units being a touch over-costed because you're expected to summon more into the game; but 3.0 has felt like GW trying to push AoS away from wargame and closer to skirmish by slashing unit blocks through the reinforcement system and by upping point costs everywhere.










Free point update is fantastic. Makes full sense for them to release the document as the Warscroll Build has always had that info and is also free. AoS always kinda feels like they've got a few more open access elements to its benefit, even if 3.0 did see us lose warscrolls on profiles on the unit page on the GW website.

Yay for GW giving us the free points directly!

AOS app updated to GHB and new battletomes...and balance updates have been slipped in as well. As they are in units hard to say what has changed all in all but 2 big things:

a) scaly skin requires some keywords(skink isn't one so scaly skin doesn't help salamanders etc)
b) stormdrake guard no more hero phase movement. Instead charge phase reroll charge once per game.

No idea what other stuff might have changed but guess the data slate is coming out Very Soon.

edit: Gloomspite gets rally on 4+ under moon for moonclans and +1 to save for trolls instead of previous effects.

Living city nerfed, sce shoot hero phase holy command not reinforced units(yey. Been suggesting this for a while). Be'lakor bodyguard gone.

Grinning blade "not visible out of 12" permanent. Not just 1st round.

I did a brief perusal and nothing seemed to change for Kharadron. Ah well!

Grinning Blade sounds fun now.

From their post yesterday with the points, I'd presume the Battlescroll/balance update is intended to release alongside the GHB.

Balance update is here:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/06/22/a-big-balance-update-hits-the-mortal-realms-as-war-comes-to-gallet/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=warhammer-age-of-sigmar&utm_content=balanceupdate&fbclid=IwAR1v7R-5Fq2gBRfYayMN-5fggyQnE6z4RpVO7EKJ1B1J7eKvOFaV6ZxGydE

I have to say, AoS is really feeling like it's starting to surpass a lot of the other games as being well looked after and thought is actually being used to improve the game each time.

Bonesplitters got nice little buff. Losing 1 pig out of 5 isn't as big loss anymore. Khorne tithe reset removed. Gloomspite got buff to terrain piece as well. Funnily slaanesh got more point drops despite short time ago pdf point list.

Loving changes. So many army lists i would love to try.

Apart from +1 dam battalion enjoying recent changes.

I am pleased with this update. Yes, a lot of it is band aids on bigger wounds but it avoids a historical problem GW has with overcorrecting. A number of issues are addressed quite nicely, and I appreciate the level of caution. It reads as a genuine effort to improve the game with consideration applied to not only the problems but how easy the solutions are to implement in game. This does mean mechanics being adjusted when they really need to be changed, but I can understand the reluctance and rule stability is definitely an asset.

New Battlebox:

Not-High Elves vs Tzeentch!



Sorceress Sexy-Legs Scinari Enlightener:


Plastic Curseling!!!:


I love the Curseling. He's great.

I want lumineth hero but have more than enough rest so i wait for solo release most likely. Hopefully new book leads to less non-fun playing experiences.

Is the Cursling a new character?

The Enlightener is cute as hell. Gonna have to pick her up just to paint.

New iteration (plastic) of Vilitch The Curseling.

His staff also solves a Rumor Engine I think..

Spoiler:

He seems to have lost a bit of bulk in his transition to plastic

And also his flail

Both heroes are great. Helmetless head looks better for this elf heroine.

Well, that might as well happen.

Do the new heroes presage new books? (Or at least a tzeentch book?) There's order-chaos-order-destruction or something like that in the next quarter, and then STD, yeah?
