the core will be free, as usual but that won't take you very far
nothing about the indices yet but can be either, though I guess they will be free
if you are able to use you existing army without buying anything to make it playable, also a 50:50 chance depending on how fancy the changes for the armies are

To get back on topic though, have they announced yet whether new AoS will have free rules and Indexes online?
I'm too poor to invest in another GW game, but I do have an existing Daemons of Slaanesh army already, and with free rules and an Index, I'd try it out.
Same as 40K indices - free pdfs - until your faction gets a battletome.

So today they are showing what change to double turn. If rumour true I might go from generally aiming to decline double(at least until turn 3 or 4) to aim to force double to opponent. No battle tactic pretty bad handicap.

"Now, in matched play battlepacks, when you choose to take a double turn, you give up your opportunity to pick a battle tactic for the turn.* It’s still an incredibly powerful option – but the decision is now far from a foregone conclusion."
Interesting.

Seriously. The sycophantic tone was painful. I just don't understand why they are so attached to this one mechanic.

Because its unique.
Also because it defeats all of those pesky "I can predict who will win based on the army list" arguers.
It's almost the epitome of a feature for people who just love totally random win/loss/gamechanging mechanics.

“I often ask competitive players, playtesters, and influencers the same questions,” says Matt. “What they’d add to the game, what they’d change about it, and what they’d remove from it. By far, the number one answer to the last question is this: ‘not the double turn!’
ok, let the intern write articles were they pretend to talk to others is boring most of the time, but pretending the not existing 2nd person talked to other people and got the answer the marketing team wanted for the rules is kind of entertaining

Double turn for another period.

I want them to put double turn in 40K, if they dare. Automatically Appended Next Post: I don't care about it but I really want them to use it in other systems to see how it works.

If enough people ask GW to remove IGoUGo from 40k, I guess they will add the double turn as the perfect solution for this problem
“I think the priority roll and the potential for a double turn can create really cool and dynamic outcomes where you can’t predict the flow of a game”, explains Matt, the Lead Games Developer for Warhammer Age of Sigmar. “You can’t count out each players’ moves as simply as a straightforward you-go-then-I-go. It’s a wonderful possibility space.”

WAIT
I just realised - modular rules + that quote = random turn sequencing!
Imagine you get your turn and boom you don't get the roll for your movement, your army is stuck static, but you might get a double roll on magic or close combat!
Not only that but what about changing up the order too - sort your turn the way you want! Be creative! What if you want to shoot first and then move!?

Generally that looks fine, if not unexpected. I kinda miss the front diaper though, it actually does change the look quite a bit.

Fine but very uninspired. Just a new weapon option on the existing kit. Why not revamp the hunter or wizard chambers?

I prefer the old tabard over the mail skirt; however the new shield looks more interesting than the old - even if the old is a very decent shield shape for them.
That said I can see people not being "excited" over the new design. It's very much a subtle refinement. Boon because it means they'll fit in easily on the table, but at the same time might not have that "Ohh must have" feeling that many times you get with an updated sculpt. Esp since the originals are hardly that old.

That's probably going to be the biggest variation! It might well make them more interesting for some, despite my point earlier about them being a refinement.

Looks about what I would expect. Though I'm just finally getting through painting my 1st Edition starter set so I'm going to stick with my old blocky guys.

Looks like there is something off with how their hips are sculpted. They have a very amatuer look to their basic anatomy structure imo.

Looks awesome.
I have tried painting the old guys in many different styles and always come to the conclusion I dont like them at all.
To me the thunderstrike looks more refined, like its more a crafted armour somehow.
However I cant say its more realistic to have that skin tight armour that would imply a really scrawny guy inside.

Time to supersize those old sculpt to match the newer one. Eventually Stormcast grew so large they move into another scale and another game entirely.
