AoS NEW *rumor*

[Canas]

Pretty sure 'instead of moving' requires you to move, otherwise it would just say during your movement phase.
We all want kroaknado bombing everything but let's be realistic here.

there's been a faq or errata at some point stating that that rules that state "instead of X you can do Y" don't require you to be actually capable of doing X in the first place.

For example if you have 2 rules:
A) you can't move
B) Instead of moving you can do X

then you can do X without breaking rule A, cuz you didn't move.

Mine has arrived yesterday.

mine normally arrive after the actual release if I pre-order them, so next monday or tuesday in this case (assuming the post office doesn't screw up)

 

[IggyStarhost]

My showowner needs to hold them, and can ship it on friday. So I have it saturday

 

[Lizerd]

Dam I can’t wait for the stuff to arrive, mine shipped Tuesday . The realmshaper engine is going to be awesome to build and use on the table

 

[Skained]

I was going to try to magnetize the realmshaper (to use its two forms), but I find it difficult enough for it.

 

[Joshua Horchler]

when does the faq for a new book usually happen? 2 weeks from actual release date?

We really need some clarity on our terrain piece.

 

[ILKAIN]

Removed, its already been addressed, didn't see that it had been due to work filters starting to intermittently block this site too now

 

[Nart]

2 weeks from actual release date?

Sometimes even more. But, yes, about two and a half weeks from this point on.

 

[LizardWizard]

FAQ and Errata updates vary. There is usually a rules clarification update within 2 week. Errata may not come around until the GHB2020.

battleshock will destroy skinks this time, though
RAW, cold blooded doesn't protect from it

Not before they spit out a ton of mortal wounds with help from a starpriest

Cold-blooded just means you dont get affected by -Bravery spells, banners etc. Has nothing to do with battleshock.

You might want to save some of your CPs and just make the Skinks immune to Battleshock.

^This.

60 points for a 5+ save and 4+ 4+ with an 8 inch move is pretty excellent, they basically more mobile skeletons with better wound potential
. Honestly melee skinks seem fairly viable

Most likely. But that sweet sweet ranged capability is what makes them so good.

Going to try a block of 20 melee Skinks in front of 40 blowpipes some time.

I was honestly thinking about making my blowpipe skinks have clubs instead of shields now. just for the extra damage potential.

 

[ThePhilosopherX]

Or just build them with blowpipes and clubs, then stick the shield on the club arm or on their backs and run them in any combination. For bonus points, stick a javelin on their backs and you can use any combination of weapons.
