Age of Sigmar 4.0 Updates - Combat, Magic & Prayers! 

Most of the previews have shown quite a few changes going into the new edition (warscrolls especially). It is annoying with some of the last books of the edition i.e. Flesh-Eater Courts that books will no longer be used changing over to the index format until they start to release 4th edition tomes (I for one am desperate to try my current FEC before the edition changes), but all the books were going to change in the new edition at some point anyway. At least every army is going to get new rules for the start of 4th.

@@TheSirMime did they though? Nothing meaningful changes. Its mostly numbers and stats and those will be just as unbalanced as they are now in no time... Aesthetically the cards changed and they shifted a couple mechanics around and gave them new names. But nothing meaningful changed at all. Still got the horrid double activation that now just has another random element in it... still gotta wait half an hour for your opponent to kill half your army without really being able to do anything about it and then maybe just wait another half hour for them to kill the rest... These "updates" have been outdated 20 years ago and its an absolute shame this garbage is the only thing these fantastic models are made for. Same cash grab as always.

@@Son0fAggression I mean the double turn has always been part of AoS. Playing AoS quite a bit for both fun and tournament play it has never been absolutely game breaking for me. As for waiting for your opponent to kill your army it is not the same as 40K where everything in the game can shoot you turn 1 if you haven't tucked behind terrain. Combat is activated one player then the other so there is still a lot of space to counter your opponent with just having to wait for them to smash all your army up first. A lot of AoS is just fulfilling objectives to win games more than just smashing your opponent to pieces. Last tournament I went to our team tried to be very aggressive turn 1/2 and ended up losing most of our army in our own turn. Luckily brought things back by playing the battle tactics. I mean yeah GW make money off selling new rules books and models. They are a business at the end of the day. I really enjoy the AoS system and have had a great time being welcomed in by the community. I am very excited to see more of this new edition.
