AoS NEW *rumor*

[Erta Wanderer]

i do think it would be cool to stick a pair of bastiladons in it

 

[LizardWizard]

D3 MW to enemy units within 1" of terrain is pretty awesome. Also, 20 wounds is a lot of potential garrison. More than enough to put your Slann Starmaster, Skinks Starpriest, & Saurus AB inside.

 

[Moulinglacia]

It sounds cool. Am honestly more hyped about its lore and just having it as a cool terrain piece on my gaming table then the actual rules

Tho i do like the rules too

 

[Skained]

and you can garrison them with your Seraphon models, up to a total of 20 Wounds... meh.. i really hope he does more too

 

[LizardWizard]

It also has a decent footprint to soak up choke points. I am interested to see its placement rules. If we can be close to the center we have a good shoot at dealing those d3 MW where we want them with a +2 to the roll.

 

[Alhaus]

So by garrison do then just mean sit models on it? Would a balewind slann sat on top get +2 to its save?

 

[Lizerd]

Must say, for zero points and a good mortal wound output, that’s pretty awesome. Let’s see what else it can do, as this in itself is pretty cool.

if a unit is within 6" it can be removed from the table and is counted as being inside the terain they get -1 to be hit and +1 to saves

 

[forlustria]

When they showed a sneak peak at the mawpot it only showed the healing ability I think and not the casting bonus or the way it could be re filled. So there could be more to the pyrimid

@LizardWizard
Why? Units close to it loosing d3 models doesn't seem very powerful... Perhaps some damaged characters with a single wound left will fear it. I don't see it as threatening. Of course I can't tell the impact of it with troops garrisoned, that's another story playtime will tell.

It is based off the Garrison rules from the core book. I am not certain how being Garrisoned will effect the BwV. Since the Garrison rule says to remove them from the table.

 

[TheGreyScaledLizard]

thats not bad but i hope it does more

I really hope that's not all it does. But hey, Syvaneth no longer get to camp their trees against us

^^^^ This! One of my buddies plays trees and made an almost empty board into a clutter of trees that attacked me. Going to be nice to have them attack him instead! Also the Engine is FREE! (points wise at least )

It is free MW without a range limit. A lot of factions bring their own terrain which can be targeted. Also it makes an opponent think twice about putting his wizard on arcane terrain if we are just going to start pinging them with d3 MWs. Being able to garrison it is also amazing. Sure, it isn't very interactive or have massive debuffs like the Bone Tithe Nexus, but it is better than a lot of faction terrain currently out there.

i forgot faction terain that makes this much better as most armies like to stand neer theirs

Would you put your Slann in 18" to reliably get that d3 mw off? Otherwise it's only a 16.66 % Chance for ~2 mw... Dunno...

 

[forlustria]

Also it's looks fairly big so you can place it to create choke points or protect a flank

First they gotta climb up that pyramid, which probably can be protected by other units.

 

[Wilhelm Stürmer]

Buddy that got me int AoS is pretty upset by it. He sees it as very over powered.

 

[Nefertem]

Or shoot him.
As I said, just my opinion, hope that I am wrong

If it is garrisoned then enemy units can't move within 3' or it in the movement phase or end within 3" of it if they have fly.
