AoS NEW *rumor*

Right, but I've never seen anybody to chose to go second other then the start of the game. So I'm wondering if they think they've added enough incentive that people might skip the opportunity for a double turn.

oh i definitely have. stutter stepping is a great way to throw your opponent off their game.
 
Yeah, currently I think it's just the ORB Arch Kavalos and Mangler Squigs that have 80mm bases.
 
Here's a couple mockups

God damn he's bigger than I was expecting. I didn't realize he'd be almost the same height as the Aelf center pieces. However it doesn't look like you over sized the base. That looks like it'd be in scale with the 80mm base. It's gonna be nearly impossible to put him in cover but it's so worth it for just the board presence of such a model.
 
I feel like I might need to glue a washer under his base to add some weight, it is rather undersized for him.
 
So it is confirmed that predatory endless spells move every hero phase. This seems to be a huge buff to us as our bound spells are so good. We can cast a spell, hit them during our turn and then hit them again before they can move/react/unbind. Spells like aethervoid pendulum can do some real damage before the enemy runs away. Emerald life swam has some serious healing power.

Maybe we will be seeing a lot more endless spells.

That is one of the theories the other is that our bound one can only move once but they can't move it in their turn
 
They said "endless spells are back!" when announcing this rule, so they clearly want them to be used more. Our bound spells will definitely be much better provided they don't nerf them so they don't work every phase, or make them like 30 points more expensive.
 
The tease wasn't much information, but the way it was worded was that predatory endless spells move ever hero phase, and the bound versions are still called predatory, so it would seem that is the way they will work, but until we see the full rules we won't know if there are exceptions.

I mean...they're worth way more than 10 points, honestly.
 
Cubicle7 released a preview of the upcoming Stars and Scales expansion for soulbound, talking about what’s going to be squeezed into its 50 pages.

https://www.cubicle7games.com/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-soulbound-mysterious-seraphon/

Which is some specific looks at underutilized constellations like The Starherd’s Path and Chotec’s Feather, deep dives on Seraphon history and culture, as well as their thoughts about Soulbound as a nebulous institution. A lot of info designed to be used by GMs writing a campaign based around them, basically! Which also means it’s just going to be a big lore treasure trove in general.

While it doesn’t offer rules for playing Soulbound seraphon, it does give the Saurus Oldblood and Skink Priest as playable archetypes that, like Stormcast, are designed to tag along on adventures without having their souls patched into the group.

It says they’re designed to be played for one shots and then dissapear, but given there’s loads of unique Seraphon talents and spells coming with them, and some endeavors from Champions of Order mention them by name as examples of what you can do on them, it feels kind of like calling them that is just a workaround for whatever weirdness GW is limiting them with, as far as general playable Seraphon go. I doubt there’s any reason not to play them normally

You can also basically make the entire hero roster using those two archetypes anyway, since swapping a skink priests’s Mind stat for its Soul stat creates a Skink Priest/Chief pretty easily, for example.

Hmm... if I wasn't partial towards the game mechanics used in WFRP over that used in Wrath & Glory or Soulbound, I'd consider giving this a shot.

Pretty much my reason to resume working on a compendium of unofficial WFRP supplemental material in my free time, actually. With how the official supplements have been so far, it's looking like Cubicle7 is intent on padding out the Empire material before moving on to nearby locales, likely leaving such places as Ulthuan, Lustria and Nehekhara untouched for a long time (so far, they pretty much tackled Reikland, Middenland, and Nordland across multiple supplements, and briefly touched on Laurelorn, Karaz Azgaraz, and the Moot in Archives of the Empire).

I actually like it a lot.

Her 740 point cost seemed high, but now that she can just summon a 200-point unit, she's more like 540 points really

And 540 is pretty decent value for that scroll

The buff to her Lifebloom ability is definitely a good one and it is very true that she comes with a built in 200 point unit.

I have sneaking suspicion that the one cast per spell may be disappearing, as we have three warscrolls that use one spell as do the Hedonites of Slaanesh. It also seems recently that more wizards know all the spells in their spell lore. I think it might go back to being once per wizard that knows the spell.
