AoS NEW *rumor*

Ivor said:
The sons of Behemat are not high elves. Currently ingame it is a DESTRUCTION giant battallion. So this is a giant faction.

Look up Behemat for AoS. He [was?] known as the Star Gargant, and was slain during the Realmgate wars. Its already been said, but he has a very apparent connection to Giants and a packet of Warscroll Cards named after him implies an army.

@Ivor when you wrote ingame which game did you mean? Are you a Warhammer Total War computer gamer?


If anything labeled “Behemat” turns out to be giants, they might be reusing an old page from an old playbook. See below:

There was a point around 7th edition(?) where they brought out a new giants kit. Along with it they published rules/guidelines for “...incorporating a giant into your army...” Nearly every army could have a giant, but a handful of armies could not. I think Lizards were on the could not list.
 
@pendrake He's 'was' also known as the Father/Originator of the Aleguzzler Gargants.
I'd also venture that @Ivor meant ingame as in "part of the game". Because there is a Warscroll Battalion called the Sons of Behemat.

I cant see them being super powerful since 2in range 25mm bade hordes are the ultimate killers.

And this will be the equalizer. In AoS, melee will bog down Giants, unless they do an obscene amount of melee damage, and throw boulders that do just as much....
 
The times of Knights dominating 40k have been over for quite some time now, and they were trash tier for a longer period (before they got their Codex).

So the sky will not be falling. Especially considering the different wound mechanics in 40k and AoS (no Toughness 8 to help protect you).

And they are running around half naked, so 4+ at most, basic versions might end up with a 5+. So will die horribly to what we are bringing anyways (Rippers + Razordons saying hi).
 
I used one Imperial Knight in my game against chaos space marines last weekend. One unit of 3 Obliterators blew it up in the first turn, so I didnt even get to use it. They are not that though to be honest.

Well, Fyreslayers are also running half-naked, but this doesn't deny them a title of one of the most durable armies in AoS (if not the most durable). GW can easily bring a lot of stupid rules to make them nigh-unkillable even without high save or wounds - ward save, halfing the damage, "cannot suffer more than X damage per turn" stuff, -1 to-wound as allegience, cannot modify save, etc.etc.
 
Carnikang said:
Knights are actually terrible as a single army, and we're only oppressive when the Knight Castellan was super meta. It was undercoated and strategems allowed for it to be too durable. As of now, you see multiple knights in lists, but they are neither oppressive, nor are they that good for most objective game-play.

To be perfectly honest, most lords of war are trash tier or 'meh' in their respective armies. The only ones that are built around are Magnus, Mortarion, Guilliman, and the Baneblade variants. And even then, investing so many points into such a big Target will get it blown off the board by the opposite army before it gets to act more often than not.

Agreed. Even in Horus Heresy, I've seen my fair share of lords of war getting lit up by heavy ordnance (and well-placed meltas if they don't have armoured ceramite) because of their obvious threat potential. The few that don't are often the ones used as long-range artillery platforms.
 
In the book Godbeasts(is the first time i lisen about that book xDD) appear the "sons of behemath"

Perhaps GW will rework the giants warscroll into something that is usable

Since Terrain and ES are made in China, perhaps we will be getting some. Very curious to know how many cards are in the Warscroll packs.
