Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Pre-Order Opens This Week!

The Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Fourth Edition pre-order opens later this week! To whet your appetite, here are 4 things you can expect from the new edition of this beloved game.

• Your Warhammer for You!

Something that is really core to our WFRP is that we’ve created tools for you to play your Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. We recognise and support that everyone plays their own version of the rules and the setting, and we fully embrace and encourage that. It’s your game! With 30 years of history under its belt, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay means a lot of things to a huge number of players.

• Ideal starting point

Not much experience with RPGs? The Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Starter Set is designed to be the ideal introduction, with a structured adventure to help you learn how to play. Also containing a guide to Ubersreik, there’s loads of gaming material for more experienced GMs too!

• System matters

WFRP4 uses ten-sided dice, and a tuned-up version of the familiar d100 system. You can tailor the rules to your preferences or different in-game situations, choosing from a menu of fast ‘roll under’ Simple Tests, Dramatic Tests giving success levels where you need more than a ‘yes or no’ result, and even barely rolling at all, if that’s your style.

• Passion for Warhammer

Our creative team are lifelong players of the three previous editions of the game, and between us we’ve worked on all these editions too! We bloomin’ love Warhammer, and we think it shows.
We’ll be bringing you more on WFRP4 regularly, so watch this space! And, very excitingly, pre-orders go live on Thursday…

Ein paar Gerüchte von drbored auf Dakkadakka - keine Ahnung wie verlässlich ...

Zitat von drbored

I heard a rumor recently that came out of Adepticon, but I haven't seen much coverage of it. There's a few different parts.

A. 2018 will see a total of 6 army releases. We've already had Deepkin, Daughters, and Nurgle, which leaves 3 more AoS armies to get updated/released in 2018. My bets are on Slaanesh and Stormcast mages, plus one other.

B. Beginning of 2019 will see a second wave of Deepkin releases (ala the Stormcast Vanguard), which will include a giant whale model rumored to be one of the largest models ever made for Age of Sigmar.

C. Also coming in 2019 are going to be sky pirate goblins, mentioned in the Kharadron Overlord book. 2019 is said to feature the forces of Destruction very heavily, about the same way that 2018 is focused around Aelves/Chaos.

Sadly I don't have any source to point to, but the guys that were telling me pointed to information and tidbits that came out of Adepticon, from slip-ups from GW employees during the presentation to bits and bobs put together from slip-ups during dinners with GW employees where drinks were involved. Take it all with a salt-mine worth of salt.

Infos zur 2. Edition von AoS:

Zitat von Lady Atia

Hello again everyone !!

More info on AOS2
Refined Gameplay

The new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar features the most comprehensive look at the core rules since the first Generals Handbook, and like those changes, the new ones will have an equally huge impact on the tabletop. The Studio team have gone through every phase of the game looking at how we can make the game faster, cleaner and more fun to play. They’ve worked with a large group of community playtesters and taken on board all the feedback from you folks out there in the wider Warhammer community. They’ve done a great job creating what we think is the tightest ruleset Warhammer Age of Sigmar has ever had, cementing it as the fantasy miniatures game. We’ll be previewing all the changes, and what they mean for you, right here on Warhammer Community in time, but for now, we think it’s safe to say that you’ll like what’s in store – from an expanded hero phase and the addition of a new command points system to a more strategic double turn

The realms
The landscape in each realm varies from the areas of relative stability towards the centre – where magic is thin, and reality behaves more conventionally – to the untamed edges, which are wild, fantastical places saturated with raw and uncontrollable magic.
But how do you get a grasp on such epic vistas? In the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, the Mortal Realms are realised more richly than ever before. These aren’t just backdrops for your battles, but rich fantasy worlds for you to fight over, strange and fascinating places full of wonder, mystery and terror. While the realms are vast, we’ve drilled down into the history and culture of each to make them tangible, meaningful places – with maps (plenty of maps), timelines and art to help bring each to life:

+
Lots of new lore and fluff
Bunch of map of the realms.
Refined hero phase (with command point i heard)
General handbook goes out at the same time with updated points.
still 3 ways to Play.

Faction Focus: Nighthaunt

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSNighthauntFF-May14-PostHeader5wh.jpg]

Welcome to Faction Focus – a daily series on Warhammer Community examining the various armies battling for supremacy in the Mortal Realms. For new players, we’ll be looking at just why you might want to make any given army your own, while if you’re a veteran, this is where you’ll find in-depth insights into what the latest rules changes mean for you…
In this Faction Focus, we’re checking out the Nighthaunt – sinister, incorporeal spectres who despise the living and haunt the Mortal Realms in pursuit of vengeance…

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSNighthauntFF-May14-Subheader1t.jpg]

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSNighthauntFF-May14-Battleshot17wb.jpg]

In the Mortal Realms, the dead do not rest easily. Those departed souls too wicked to join Sigmar and too fearful and craven to join Chaos find themselves in the kingdoms of Nagash, the God of Death. Appointing himself their eternal jailor, Nagash arms the Nighthaunt with a portion of his power and sends them forth into the realms to prosecute his will, turning their immense bitterness and fury at the living into a weapon of war.

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSNighthauntFF-May14-Subheader2r.jpg]

Implacable in Defence…

Nighthaunt armies are great for catching opponents unawares. All Nighthaunt units ignore your opponent’s Rend stat, so they’ll stand up against just about any weapon your foe throws at them – even Ghal Maraz itself will struggle to displace a Spirit Host.

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSNighthauntFF-May14-Battleshot15fo.jpg]

…Terrifying in Close Combat
Offensively, the Nighthaunt tear through foes with a deluge of mortal wounds, whether at range or with their Frightful Touch. No matter how armoured your foe is, you’ll be able to take them out.

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSNighthauntFF-May14-Subheader5k.jpg]

Tyler Mengel is a Golden Demon-winning painter, keen player, master converter and longtime friend of Warhammer Community. As the commander of a substantial Nighthaunt army, it’s safe to say he’s pretty excited about what the new edition might bring:

What attracted you to Nighthaunt?

Tyler: I’ve always liked the Death range for Warhammer Age of Sigmar but had already painted legions of Skeletons, so I was looking for something different. Back when the plastic Spirit Hosts came out, they immediately became some of my favourite miniatures. Not only are they great-looking models, but they can be incredibly easy and quick to paint, while still looking fantastic!
There’s just something undeniably cool about an entire army of ghosts. It’s a truly terrifying idea if you think about it from the perspective of the lowly Freeguild soldiers who will have to hold the line against them.

What are your top tips for Nighthaunt players?

Tyler: The Nighthaunt army is extremely durable – with most models in the army having a 4+ save that can’t be modified in any way, they can take a lot of punishment. Spirit Hosts make a great shield unit, as with 3 wounds each and their Ethereal rule, it’ll take a lot for the enemy to chew through them. I typically run at least two units of six to be the anvil upon which I smash the opposing army. Hexwraiths are great as objective grabbers – as one of the fastest units in the army, I typically use them as outriders and run them along the flanks of the battlefield to harass weaker units. With their increased mortal wound output, they can dish out the damage pretty effectively as well.

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSNighthauntFF-May14-Spirithosts14wc.jpg]

What advice would you give to a new Nighthaunt player?

Tyler: Spirit Hosts, Spirit Hosts, Spirit Hosts. These guys are worth their weight in gold. They form the solid core of your army and look great as well. Though I would suggest picking up at least one of everything from the faction since they all have a unique role to fill. With all of these exciting new models coming out, the options available to you will only expand! If you’re wary of jumping in fully, try building a 1,000 point army first, you’ll be surprised at how quickly that fills up, as well as how quickly you can get it on the tabletop fully painted. From there, it’s only a short hop away from a larger army and eternal damnation and servitude to Nagash… er, I mean, from having a really fun army to play that looks great on the tabletop and chills your opponents’ very souls.

As previewed at Warhammer Fest, Nighthaunt fans are in for a treat this June, as the ranks of the unquiet dead are bolstered by a vast wave of reinforcements. You can look forward to fielding a whole new range of units and heroes including some of the most spectacular (and spooktacular) Citadel miniatures ever made. And of course, you’ll have a brand new battletome to go with them.

Chainrasp Hordes

More often than not, the souls that find their way to Nagash are of a somewhat middling quality – the poor schmucks who weren’t good enough to be reborn as Stormcast Eternals or evil enough to dedicate themselves to Chaos. Gathered together in vast, unhappy hordes, these souls are eternal prisoners of Nagash and take sick delight in bludgeoning enemies with the various chains and manacles that bind them in service to the Grand Necromancer.

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSNighthauntFF-May14-Chainrasps6rt.jpg]

Glaivewraith Stalkers

Nagash has a twisted sense of justice, and each member of the Nighthaunt is shaped to reflect their crimes in a previous life. The Glaivewraith Stalkers were those who hunted men for sport and pleasure – now, they still work as huntsmen, drifting slowly and unstoppably towards their quarry, pursuing them for months (or even years!) if they have to.

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSNighthauntFF-May14-Stalker7rv.jpg]

Grimghast Reapers

Grimghast Reapers are the souls of schemers, plotters, assassins, and those who murdered through subterfuge in their former lives. Nagash has punished these souls by turning them into frenzied, indiscriminate murderers, blind to their foe and attacking with wild, unfocused slashes.

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSNighthauntFF-May14-Reapers8vg.jpg]

Lord Executioner

In their former lives, Lord Executioners were hangmen and headsmen who knowingly dispatched the innocent, or simply enjoyed their work a little too much. Nagash now employs them in permanent service to ensure none escape the justice of Shyish.

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSNighthauntFF-May14-Executioner11dx.jpg]

Guardian of Souls

The Guardian of Souls is a first for the Nighthaunt – a Wizard! The Guardian of Souls acts like a lure-light for the rest of the Nighthaunt, drawing them towards living prey…

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSNighthauntFF-May14-Guardian12gw.jpg]

A new Knight of Shrouds

Finally, we got to check out the new, mounted Knight of Shrouds – the perfect hero for keeping up with your Hexwraiths, or any other fast-moving Nighthaunt units that might be on the way…

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSNighthauntFF-May14-Knight13kn.jpg]

Spirit Torment

Of course, we saw a lot of these models at Warhammer Fest this weekend, but what do they bring to the army? We know you’re itching to see what these units do in battle, so here’s one of their Warcrolls – the Spirit Torment: the chain-bound essence of a former jailer, tasked by Nagash with ensnaring the souls of his enemies. Especially those pompous golden ones…

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSNighthauntFF-May14-SpiritTormentWarscroll16rvds.jpg]

We’ve just scratched the surface of what’s on the way for the Nighthaunt – check out the official reveal trailer to see if there are any other units you can spot:

Infos zur 2. Edition AoS:

Zitat von GW

Turn Priority:

A new edition is coming for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and with it, the most comprehensive review of the rules the game has ever received. We’ve looked at every phase of the game examining how we can make play tighter, more balanced, and – most importantly – more fun. We’ll be going through each of these changes in detail over the coming weeks so that when the new edition lands, you’ll be well prepared. Today, we’re going to take a look at a fundamental update that will affect every game you play – turn priority.

In Warhammer Age of Sigmar, the game is split into battle rounds, and players roll at the beginning of each round to see who goes first. This means, in effect, a player may occasionally get to take two turns in a row (the last turn in one battle round and the first turn in the next battle round). However, doing so puts you at risk of the same thing happening to you later in the game! Mastering this system is one of the top skills a Warhammer Age of Sigmar player has to learn.

In the new edition, the studio have added an extra level of depth, choice and chance to this mechanic, as well as removing some of the randomness, to make for more tactical games.

Previously, players would roll off to determine who gets to decide who gets the first turn in each battle round, with the winner getting to choose. This works in much the same way in the new edition, but now, if the players get a draw, the player that went first in the previous battle round wins the roll.

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSTurnPriority-May16-Illustration4wj.jpg]

In practice, this means that you’re somewhat less likely to get hit by a double turn, while if you do have priority, you’ll have a bit more control over when your opponent gets theirs. If you’ve just had a great turn, you might want to give your opponent priority to give yourself a chance to get a double turn later on in the game, for example.

There will be some other advantages to going second each battle round as well…

Remember those awesome persistent spells we know are on the way? They will interact with the turn sequence in an interesting way too, which we’ll learn more about in a future article.
