AoS AoS: The Future, campaign book contents (updated)

I'd have to admit that I much prefer the 8th Edition book artwork compared to the one above. Better details and color use and they made the Saurus look fearsome. I will also never forgive the model design and artwork for the Carnosaur because unlike most real Therapod dinosaurs of its size, that head is far too small and round.

That's because it's not a Therapod, it's a lizard-cat.
 
I'm going to chime in and say that I don't think this new art is particularly good, but neither is it horrifically bad. I mean, compared to some of the other garbage art you see all over the place, at least it's technically proficient, if not exactly what we were looking for. I'm sure it's not the only Lizardman art we're going to see in the near future.

It may be trying to be a hunky Allosaurus, but it looks like a lizard-cat!

This.

Perhaps it's simply remnants of my old art teacher trying to beat some form of objectivity into my skull, but it's all too easy (and sad) to simply say a piece of artwork sucks, but unless you're able to articulate the whys and whats, you only end up rendering your own argument pointless, as it shows you can't keep a level head.

The art is good in terms of skill and well executed, BUT, as said above by a few members, it's not what I personally associate with Lizardmen (and not their art), for the same reason there's only one piece of Kroak artwork that appeals to me.
 
In my opinion the style should have been more like the front cover of the Lizardmen army book

I'm not a fan of that new art work either. As others have mentioned, the style doesn't seem to fit at all. Additionally I believe it feels very static and lifeless.
 
Book contents..

Doesn't appear to be anything that explicitly refers to balancing or comp-friendly rules except perhaps in the "unbound" section, otherwise the rules appear to be for terrain and scenarios.

Still, 74 pages of fluff to gnaw through. I expect the Seraphon will get a couple of mentions..
 
Yup.. Not sure what people was expecting. No rules there just fluff.
 
Also, "Sylvaneth Wyldwood" is in the warscrolls/battlescrolls compendium. So terrain can officially be classed as part of an army now?

*contemplates Seraphon terrain*

There was a bunch of stuff in that section of the contents that sounded like former members of the Woodelf army... :confused: ...are ALL of the warscrolls listed in this tome? Is there another page of contents?
 
I think it would be very unlikely for us to NOT have some kind of monolith that gives +1 to casting or its like.
