AoS NEW *rumor*

[Nart]

i don't know 100 attacks dealing a MW on 6s (maybe 5s and 6s) is hard to pass up

A good player will never let them into close combat with valuable target.

What if the Lumineth player is a good player too?

The Shrine Luminor preview is up.

What a beautiful model...

I mean you can say that about any competent melee unit.

I mean you can say that about any competent melee unit.

Unless that unit can fly, have 12-16" movement, can run+charge/retreat, can teleport, universally good against any target, has a lot of wounds, has good save, can't be shot at, etc. etc. Neither of these are likely to be true for swordsmen.

I think it says a lot about the state of AoS. Its a shooting game now. unless they have a teleport ability with a hero to allow charge rerolls, melee isnt scary.

 

[Canas]

The terrain piece provides one casting/unbinding/dispelling re-roll for someone who's in range and one free command ability per turn for a hero who's garrisoned.

Honestly, bit weird as so far the Lumineth don't exactly have a lot of command abilities they'd like to spam. And the heroes that do have command abilities want to get to the frontlines, not just hang out in a shrine in the back. Anyways, given the amount of CP-generation the new stuff seems to be getting I guess this'll change.

 

[xoid]

I wonder if none Lumineth will be able to garrison it like they can our terrain piece.

 

[Kilvakar]

It will definitely have better deployment rules than ours. They wouldn't let an actual bad rule slip into the Lumineth update

[Carnikang]

Not a fan.

Saw someone post rules for the Swordmaster a in a similar manner.

They're better Guard for 120 pts, assuming it's true. M6" 2w, 4+, 2+ save transfer for mages near them.

(An aside: I'd honestly take Guard if they had the 2" range and just the Flurry of blows profile. Maybe the magic shrug too. Maybe they'll get a rework when we enter the Broken Realms.... Probably not. )

In this case, they won't take Swordmasters.

Sigh...

The severith seems weird, why does he have so many bonusses/special rules for getting into melee range when he's supposed to be a ranged character.

But they look so good. I want 10


------------------------------------------------------

These don't seem awful or anything. But I'm struggling to think why I'd want them instead of Sentinels. The accuracy and rend is nice...but I can't imagine it outdoes Sentinels with Lambent Light and Power of Hysh

[Canas]

do none of them have any command abilities to actually spend those CP on?

Also, loreseeker is weirdly powerfull for a wizard, 6 attacks total that all do D3 damage and have rend? That's better than most combat heroes.

 

[ArtoriusaurusRex]

I think the loreseeker is more of a combat character and is only a wizard because he's a Lumineth character to begin with.


I kinda like him. He might be able to steal and hold a point for a couple rounds with aetherquartz or the right spells.

Spoiler: More

 

[Erta Wanderer]

this is some of the greatest naming GW has ever done...and i hate it

 

[Kilvakar]

That's hilarious! And wow, that guy went from a pretty poor unit to a super solid buffing machine

 

[Carnikang]

New Zaeland website has the new Warscrolls up.

That rumor @Nart posted appears to be entirely/mostly true.
