Romes Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Nice! Now we need to find out if it's a new starter or a different game, Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophecy Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I always like it when the empire gets more goodies and models as they make perfect stand ins for Dogs of War. So for me I just hope we get good models whatever it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I always like it when the empire gets more goodies and models as they make perfect stand ins for Dogs of War. So for me I just hope we get good models whatever it is. Age of Sigmar is supposedly the name of the new game. PENDING Warhammer Fantasy Rumors - May 2015 via anonymous sources on Faeit 212 New warhammer fantasy game is called Age of Sigmar. Preorders for the box go up July 4th. Release on the 11th. PENDING Warhammer Rumors - May 2015 "Rumour from TWF. Take with the amount of salt from the Pacific Ocean. This is not my rumour so I take no credit etc for posting it! I am posting this in my non-main account because, should this turn out to be fabricated, I do not wish to be roasted =) That being said, I know a guy who knows a guy who stumbled on this completely by accident so add salt to taste. - the 9th edition rules aren't going to be the big jump that moving from 7th edition to 8th was. - there are going to be 3 versions of Warhammer. The Age of Sigmar - recommended for point totals 500 to 1,500 and will be a skirmish style game. The Age of Steel - Warhammer as we all played it over the last 5 years. The End Times - magic heavy and 50% lords & heroes (and Lore of Undeath). - power dice are now a base of 2D6 (4D6 for End Times) up to 2,000 points, add another power dice for every 1,000 points after that so fielding a 4,000 point army would roll 4D6 Winds of Magic or 6D6 in the End Times. - lots of new spells though the #6 spells all allow Ward Saves - new magic items. Some went away, some new ones arrived. - 8th edition measuring still exists - Regeneration now works like a War Hydra, dead models come back with a single wound on a 4+ (I think Plaguebearers just won Warhammer) - Lances do impact his on the charge - Spears are +1ST if they hold against "mounted units" - ASF has changed. Units that charge get ASF vs the unit they charge. - Fear as now but tests are at -1 leadership, Terror at -2 (BSBs are still OP) - Killing Blow does D3 wounds - Heroic Killing Blow still kills everything - characters riding monsters have a merged profile (which I presume is why cannons are still going shout '10 from the back!'...) - Steadfast can be lost with a single rank of 5 in the flank. Units cannot be Steadfast against anything that can Thunderstomp them - 2D6 Scenarios and a much broader terrain chart - models lose half their charge roll distance if they clip terrain (think of it as toned down 7th edition terrain rules) though dangerous terrain is still in effect (1s to wound for models that take dangerous terrain tests) - new building rules though they still look bad - combat resolution - outnumbering is back - holding table quarters is back too" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNathanson Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'm in on all of it, and I HOPE that the points range for the alternate game is accurate, because I've always felt WFB doesn't play well under about 1500, maybe even 1850. Having a fun game to play while building up an army would be oh-so-cool. My CC is at the ready, let's do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxer Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Oh yeah... Forgot to be the contrarian nerd that is too cool to get excited about anything. Sorry... "This actually looks really dumb and TWF is a poser" Is that better? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixxer Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Not what I was saying at all. :( Just relaying the Whineseer attitude where you copied these rumors from. All is good! Im stoked! WHFB players are so oppressed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yes!!! I'm really excited for it. They might mess some things up, but I really doubt they'll blow it. So stoked! I didn't plan on starting another army but sometimes it's not up to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Bells had that "sigmar" is a board game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Bells had that "sigmar" is a board game. Bells is a poor source though. PENDING Warhammer Fantasy Rumors - May 2015 VIA Steve the Warboss Age of Sigmar is not the Starter Set of the 9th Edition. It will be a Board Game like Space Hulk or Execution Force and with this Set, the Releases of the 9th Edition will begin. Looks like Fantasy 9th is still coming, except this will just be the precursor to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
