AoS NEW *rumor*

[Erta Wanderer]

Can some1 please explain what garrisoning actually does and how it benefits that unit that is garrisoned inside it

the models are removed and the terrain is counted as the model until they leave they get -1 to be hit and +1 to saves

 

[Joshua Horchler]

Id imagine no monsters will be allowed in the pyramid.

Dont sleep on this thing. Garrison is so freaking strong, especially when combined with our shooting, magic and movement. Its an incredibly powerful ability.

 

[Vinosh]

Also what are bound endless spells

 

[Canas]

I suspect this will be the case! I imagine the Slann or one of our lore spells, for example, may have a 'while garrisoned in a realmshaper engine' rule. It may even be that some sub-factions (terraformer-focussed coalesced?) have add-on rules, to make it d6, for example.

Best to avoid disappointment and accept that it's 'ok' and be pleasantly surprised.

If they had revealed anything that had us all unanimously jumping for joy at how strong it is, you know we'd just be hit with an urgent FAQ like the tomes before us...

meh, my issue with it isn't that it's weak. It's that it's just not terribly interesting unless you're specifically fighting something like Sylvaneth. D3 damage isn't super original and terrain isn't common enough to really go "haha, I now control a massive chunk of the board". I mean, yeah it's nice that you can deny the wizard acces to that 1 arcane terrain. But unless it's sylvaneth that's about the complete extend of it... If this is all it'd be a massive waste of potential.

Also what are bound endless spells

Endless spells that only the player who casted them can move.
Imagine throwing a purple sun, geminids of UhlGysh and Gnashing maws at your enemy and he cannot send them back.

Edit: it makes them a lot safer to use near your own stuff.

 

[Vinosh]

Wow that it rly good

 

[Vinosh]

But can u control the khorne ones and fyreslayer ones aswell

 

[Erta Wanderer]

But can u control the khorne ones and fyreslayer ones aswell

no sorry just the ones you bring

 

[Carnikang]

But can u control the khorne ones and fyreslayer ones aswell

Unlikely, because they're prayers and not spells. It's probable that we will not be able to take spells from people, just not let the ones we cast turn around on us.

 

[Acehilator]

Being "bound" is a function of our spells, not of those from the opponent.

I still hope we can steal an opponent spells. Even if it's difficult and not really worth the effort, it'd be super fluffy and glorious.

 

[Acehilator]

I'd rather hope "bound" spells cost the same as the regular version. That would be enough.

I frequently get 3rd or 2nd. 3rd if win my first 3 games. Because then I go 3-2. Second if I lose one of my first 3 games, because then I normally go 4-1.

I FREAKING LOVE IT!

Not only how it looks, but also the rules.Even this is “all” it does!

I even think it should not do more or it would be to overpowered. It is perfectly balanced!

The mortal wound output is very balanced. Often it is not the average damage what make something good. But the fact that your opponent has to take it into account when setting up and hiding heroes or placing them in cover. Combine it with the Troglodon spell and they need to account they can catch 6mw to a support heroe if not placed well. So effectively they need to avoid terrain if they dont want to take the risk. Furthermore, it is ANY unit within 3”. So you can target multiple units
Im not sure if you can also target the temple itself, but I think so. That would def be a very good defensive ability. MW on a 2+!

But the best ability is the garrison! Just much benefits!

Are you going to nova?

 

[Aginor]

(Ok I need to explain this. You are asking whether he is going to nova while "no va" means "it doesn't go" in spanish.)
