Magic will be much STRONGER in Age of Sigmar 4 

I usually only half understand the actual gameplay and meta ramifications til the Robsplaining happens. Ty for your service dude O7

40k players seething coping shitting and farting in jealousy after what they did to psychic in 10th

A priest heavy army could make for a very big swing every other turn.

well im playing tzeentch so thats amazing

What I’m gathering from chanting is that you don’t pick the prayer you want until after the chanting Roll and you can see which prayers you can get off

If you have to choose between Manifestations or Spell Lore, I don't expect to see Endless Spells in the game very often I hope there is a way to take extra lores

Thanks again for doing the translation for New people like myself

Great work keep it up, ramping up the journey to aos 4

So much interesting design space in the Prayer system. Slaughterpriests gaining Ritual Points for killing models in melee? Army wide Rituals where multiple Priests can contribute to the same Prayer? Setting up funky 'sigils' by getting priests to stand in certain positions (like a 12 inch triangle?) to summon a creature in the middle?

I recently purchased some Kharadron Overlords, and decided to wait till 4.0 to start playing, these videos are very informative and helpful. 4.0 Looks good

So, the Ritual Points... @12:57 you say a two "cast" priest would have two pools, I don't think that makes sense, it works if each prayer attempt allows a single roll to add points to a single pool then prayers are "cast" from that pool... two d6 are rolled, a 5 and a 6 show giving 11 points, two prayers are "cast" for 4 points each leaving 3 points in the pool for next turn. Having two pools seems needlesly complicated but we are talking GW here.

Another great video! I've joined the club of waiting for the video instead of reading the articles myself

I watch so many of these nuanced videos about a wargame that I don’t personally, thanks Rob.

Think Im going to have to finally pick up King Brodd for my big ladz

Love the mini on the war scroll! 💚

I like the changes. assuming, the spells wont be too much different from the current ones, having access to situational spells of a lore, without "wasting" a spell slot, sounds fun.

Excited to see the full rules list! Can't wait to see what my Kruleboyz Shawman is gonna get!

Rob.. mate, you’re a legend. I literally didn’t read the article. I waited till you gave your take. Whoever said “Robsplaining” needs a pat on the back. Totally where I am with AOS4. Super hyped, lots of great choices so far. Keep up the great work Rob!!

Yay for cool & interesting Magic! Sounds great to me so far

The more I rewatch your videos I am starting to change to a positive opinion on 4.0. Having things like anti-infantry on units feels very flavourful. Do you think a lot of similar role based rules are coming or will they be a bit conservative you think and only have really elite stuff get them? I would love anti-large on halberd or spear type units as like a charge defense against impact hits or something.

I don’t know how to think about things until you explain them to me so thank you

Fun thing to note: Magical Intervention, the new command ability that lets you cast on your opponent's turn, cannot be unbound unless your opponent sacrifices one point from his power level supply to unbind instead of casting, making the command even better than we might have thought. (At least if the rules actually work the way they're described.)

… and just in time for 4th, prices are going up

I do wonder if they are going to spell lores with all wizards having access to all if there will be generic rulebook spells, it would allow them to enhance theme and would fit with only stormcast being able to buff saves. mentioned.

The unbind says it works only on your hero phase, so no more dispelling your own endless on opponents turn.

So can"t be 100% sure, but pretty sure you get to pick a spell lore and still get to get endless spells since while you only get to pick 1 spell lore, endless spells aren't in a spell lore, there in a manifistation lore. And then they can group invocations under the same title and doesn't matter whether it's a endless spell or invocation, a priest or wizard can get rid of it and that annoyance goes bye-bye.

Rob, what do you think when they say spell lores, if those are your own spell lore or realm specific lore. Do you see them going that route?

I would say you probably don't have two pools for chanting. I would imagine he just chants up points each round and you spend the points in when you want on whichever prayer

What I don't like with prayers is, now you roll the 3 or 4, or you don't shebang and you're off. But next turn your probability hasn't reduced or increased, and by this I feel the balance of prayers is easier to maintain. Now it's almost guaranteed when going into round two, opponent's will have a good number of ritual points and they'll auto pray out prayers unless they roll 1's a lot. And that doesn't exactly feel right to me. Well unless the ritual points are actually spent. In which case it's fine.

Ive been on the fence still on how i feel about 4e but... actually making magic this much more important, is really good and makes sense for the setting.

Looking forward to seeing if Ogor wizards have improved, to be 2 cast or not.

Not having to mandate single rat to cast more-more warp power sounds awesome!! Hopefully they keep 5hp casters roughly the same with the ability to cast death frenzy as well as more-more on a flexibility or even a contingency basis if you have multiple casters.

nagash has returned

I'm hoping we see manifestation lores for those that don't currently have their own. I think it would be really cool to see some magic ethereal fish or lobster make an appearance in the Idoneth

I wonder how soulblight will work

As an ogor player - what’s a two cast wizard?!?!

I dont think you have to chant the same prayer over and over seeing as the goal is simplification youll probably be able to just pray and accumulate points

100% that guy

Spell caster are going to get buff in Aos 4...if wasn't for skaven that can shoot them out of the table turn 1

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

Not me realising I've got no mages in my cities of sigmar army

I'm a bit confused by the slaughterpriest warscroll ability blood sacrifice. Roll a d3 and on a 2+. So they mean a 2+ result of a d3 which would be a 3+ result of a d6? Just seems like a very weird way. Could just say roll a d6, on a 3+ do d3 mortal wounds and gain a bloodtithe. Probably needs less text as well.

The prayer part has been written badly by GW, i had to reread it multiple times

Nagash nerfed

The Lores include multiple spells and/or manifestations. You're not bringing in a single spell per Lore.

AAARRRWWWOOOOOOOOOO

This is exciting to me, the keywords r ironjawz which leads me to believe ironjawz and kruleboyz r going to be split up. As a kruleboy that is huge news

Are you reading anything into the fact that the wierdnob shaman doesn’t have the Orruk warclans keyword?

Good to know GW likes Unga-Bunga melee armies like Khorne over armies that actually take a brain in every game. As a LRL player, it's fun that a like sub 150 point priest can just... prevent my Teclis from playing the game? Fun times, guess Teclis castle is just want it is and we pray they don't have some stupid teleportation nonsense.

Oh no, they made the worst thing about AoS; the magic, more important… I hope non magic armies get a lot of ways to stop that!

I hope so many new people find age of sigmar and decide to join this edition 🥹
