The number of small heroes would be cool if all of the small factions that they released had more than 2-3 units, 6+ heroes, and maybe a monster sized unit or two. As a grognard, one of the irritating things about the switch from Warhammer Fantasy to Age of Sigmar was the obliteration of some factions, like Vampire Counts, into 3 or 4 with a few units each. Death doesn't necessarily have that issue now as it did with 1st Edition, but factions like Kharadron Overlords and Fyreslayers seem pretty narrow in scope, which I guess could be argued is the point. Cities of Sigmar also suffers from this problem, because why invest in a bunch of old, Warhammer Fantasy minis when they will be removed from the faction when they add new models? So that would leave you with the new human models, which are sweet, but not too many options to go with. Albeit AoS is much younger than 40K and catching up in faction breadth will take some time, factions like Genestealer Cults, Custodes, and Mechanicus have come out either around when AoS came out, or after, and have a large model range to work with.
Hello my grognard, yeah I think the biggest gripe for the small hero thing is in “my” mind - I would figure you fill out your factions with the base line units you need THEN start making cool little heroes to go with them. We’re about to be 4 editions in and the plastic was not molded in the right ways 😂
Love the breakdown
Thanks brother-man, appreciate yinz!
Galletian Veterans was my prime, I loved my putrid Blightkings but sadly I don‘t have time for the hobby anymore still enjoy your videos
Appreciate you watching! I loved my Blightkings too 😢
There is so much wrong with the GHB system its actually insane.
Absolutely, for both 40K and AoS honestly. We kinda need seasonal tweaks instead of full reworks!
@@swolehammer Seasonal tweaks would absolutely be the correct answer. Treating more akin to patches and some minor flavor things would be great, but to upend everything each book is insane.
Balance each of the armies, do some flavorful battle plans and we are good to go.
@@Beercules56 Definitely a better way to go about it! Like if 40K had an equivalent upheaval of “if you don’t have magic you are screwed” for a YEAR people would FLIP.
@@swolehammer they did that and people did flip "let's just delete the psychic phase, no army has a focus on that phase" lol
As a beast of chaos player, this was the worst edition. They gave us an updated hero model, a decent book ruleswise, lots of hints that Morghur was gping to make a big return, in the realm of BEASTS no less. And here we are, relegated to TOW. Just such a complete letdown. And i say this after playing this rejected army since 2006
Yeah the Chaos Spawn subfaction was interesting but it was very rushed and this is after they suffered most of 2nd edition too. Honestly relegating them to Old World is best for the faction - their rules are way deeper and they’re actually a major supported faction not an afterthought of Chaos… just blows for whoever doesn’t want to play Old World.
Shame that they didn’t add wounding tables and drop damage spillover for fourth. 😕
Still holding my breath!
I think there’s hope with enough of the 4th changes that damage spillover won’t be back breaking.
I hate wounding tables in 40k, Im forced to take units I hate just to have a chance to deal with vehicles.
@@sheaparkersp That’s fair, but without things like that people just spam whatever has the best profile and nothing else. It makes the meta extremely dull.
