3.0 is out

[lastcranston]

Rat mad is definitely the phrase lol. Anyone know when azyr is likely to update?

[newguy]

Warhammer+ is out in aug so hopefully before then.

[lastcranston]

Do we know what that even is yet? I'm very confused on it

[newguy]

Streaming service plus all access to their apps (including azyr), digital library of published stuff (old white dwarfs and stuff), exclusive minis and some other stuff. Something like 60 bucks American a year

Not sure of you guys played whfb back in yhe herohammer days but it seems that is where the game is at now. I'm down. I like my heroes beating things up or doing cool things.

I've quit WHFB once already because of herohammer, I'll do it again in a heartbeat. I imagine so too will many others after they've been steamrolled a few times by lists made up primarily of indestructible monster-riding heroes (or in Archaon's case, just the one). Every edition of Warhammer, 40k or fantasy, where games are dominated by a few super-models is always a recipe for negative play experiences that drive people away. I know this because this happened in 2.0 despite monsters being by and large mediocre. Terrorgeists were complained about incessantly loooooong after they and FEC got kicked off their podium. 

Fortunately I think claims of herohammer are a distraction from our true new overlords, the 30 man block of elite missile infantry that tac nukes you for looking at one of its screens funny.

Does anyone play Daughters of Khaine? Morathi is going to be a big pain.

[Hi I'm Derek]

I don't but I saw a few posts about it on TGA. I guess she didn't get much of a points increase but a lot of the rest of the army did, so definitely going to be a common sight in DoK lists from the sound of it.

Pretty model though I can't say it hasn't tempted me in the past lol

[redshirt2375]

I have a small force that has yet to be put together, but no Morathi (yet).

From what I have read in the DoK FB group she could already carry the army in 2.0 and everyone expects her to just be even better in 3.0

I have a pretty decently sized daughters of khaine army with morathi, snakes, cauldron and snake-chariot (blanking on the name)... this could be interesting for certain.

[Jack Shrapnel]

talking about unit sizes and points adjustments:

Nice to see some of the thoughts that went into the rebalance. I know not everyone will be happy with where all of their units landed, but hopefully most things will feel in a decent place with the overall upward trend in cost.

I had noticed and was happy about tzaangors having different costs between armies. It didn't feel good as a beasts player to know your birdmen were pointed for allegiance abilities they weren't getting.

It's also nice that ardboys were noted to have taken a hit due to new reinforcement rules and loss of battalions, and have become cheaper as a result.

I still hope we see the lineup of new battletomes start with those hit hardest by age and not being fundamentally compatible with 3.0. At least in AoS we don't have to sit through a dozen shades of power armour before the armies in need of a buff have a chance to get seen to.

Hopefully the faq for skaven is big. Tons of our units no longer function as intended

well they called out warscrolls that do not function as previous, so sounds like it's being addressed. 

[newguy]

Annnnnnd now we wait till July 3rd lol

[dave]

I can handle the wait. Can't play anyway, and I've finally gotten myself motivated to paint again. Would love to be able to have a fully painted army by the time I get a chance to put them on the table again.
