Yes, and not for the first time, just more than it was with the Season of War and Seeds of Hope. As it should be.Apparently the malign portents campaign is affecting generic Age of Sugar, for even players who aren't participating in the campaign, which is pretty neat. It's kinda like D&D meets Warhammer.
Indeed, although the author does not know what he is talking about mixing everything together. But not bad in terms of conclusions.Interesting article...
I think stamping out the revolutionaries is the right choice for Nagash, as it means more dead.I do like that the second week of the dread solstice campaign actually lives up to the conceptual promise of opaque results. As a supporter of Nagash, I genuinely don't know which omen to vote for this time around, unlike in the first week when it was very transparent (drake = good guys, eye = non-nagash bad guys, skull = nagash). This week, though? Hard to say. Secrets are revealed, righteous revolutionaries are seeking justice while autocrats who ruled through deception try to stamp them out, and on the sidelines people are gathering secrets and omens to use later. With the talk of souls of seers diverted from the path to shyish, it almost made me think skull was once again the right choice for the undead, but then again Nagash's main aim in the early part of this campaign is to suppress knowledge for as long as possible, so then maybe eye instead? But eye is also reinforcing the hierarchy in Order's societies so maybe disruption via Drake is best?
It's confusing and opaque, but then again that's the entire thematic through-line of malign portents and dread solstice, so it feels very immersive, if a little bit frustrating, that the actions we can take may be clear, but the outcomes they'll have absolutely aren't.

Agree, the author is too emotional and mixes the terms up, because he clearly does not know what is what. But that's expectable.It's an interesting take on the end of Warhammer, but I find the author excessively critical of Tolkien. As an adult, I am still rather fond of high fantasy, so I think that the article makes too many assumptions about peoples' preferences without the evidence to support making such points.
It would be silly to compare 4 and 20+ years of development, but AoS now is far reacher in everything than WHFB was when it was young, and considering how fast GW is producing new things and books, it will take a few more years to have more fluff than everything else.In addition, Age of Sigmar still has a long way to go to match the richness of the Warhammer World in terms of the narrative, although some progress is being made with Malign Portents.
Apparently, any wounds that small Morathi takes before transforming, she carries over as double when she transforms. So if she has taken 3 wounds and then transforms, she'll count as having taken six wounds. Not sure how that mechanic works exactly, i.e. if the doubling of wounds counts as taking wounds, but it's quite powerful for the opponent.Morathi should be more expensive than Nagash unless I've missed something crucial, also kind of wish mortal wounds was reserved for characters/monsters. Everything seems to dish them out nowadays and as it stands
we have no shooting units that aren't from the compendium tomb king war scrolls. I like moaning although since Lon release I've won my last 3 battles against sylvaneth ironbark, so shouldn't really complain I suppose.

It looks and sounds very much like it. That voice sounds a bit like Settra, but I would be surprised if that is who it turns out to be.
