![]() ![]() ![]() In our Discord this morning, Pat was speculating that everyone gets a little pool of them at the start of the game, like mini Destiny Dice for all. The second part, in terms of how you get these bonus dice, is anyone’s guess. That sounds like an absolute arms race in terms of casting at +7 and dispelling at +9! The first question is pretty straightforward: it sounds like roll one dice and add D3 or D6 to the overall casting roll. ![]() Those two little sentences raise three big questions: Now, with the big news covered, let’s circle round to the details and the reckless speculation. It’s part of what made earlier GHs a joy to buy rather than a resentful tax, and all I can say is that I hope that the full year’s breathing space until the next one brings us a proper GH again. I was hoping that the 12-monthly cycle would bring back some broader content celebrating the whole hobby – even most people who exclusively play Matched Play like to know that it’s there. Truth is, the scope of the book has been brutally hacked back into a matched play supplement, and it’s lost its soul along the way. Vince waxed lyrical recently about the multiplayer options in GH17, and just the week before that we’d been playing a 5-player Triumph and Treachery game locally, using the GH17 rules. I’m a big fan of Warhammer Weekly, and while I don’t agree with everything they say (be a bit weird if I did), I’m with Vince on this one – the book has lost its way since it became Matched Play only. Note that it still refers to the book as a “matched play resource”, which is pretty sad news. This will help us all enjoy our hobby that little bit more, so well done GW for taking on board the community feedback. The 6-month cycle is only one of many reasons why a lot of people aren’t quite feeling the buzz right now (despite a healthy meta) but it’s a big one, and an easy fix, and they’ve done it. They aren’t familiar with the Battleplans either, and by the time the whole thing gets embedded, the $84 book goes into the recycling and GW is picking our pockets for another one. The number of times I have to tell people that they get two Heroic Actions in their own hero phase when they go second is off the charts. What sours people on the game is when they lose games because they don’t even know what their options are. That cut and thrust is what we’re here for. Day to day, week to week they’re not living the life any more, and that’s just sad.Ī big factor is that people can generally handle losing games due to making a bad decision with the options they have available. Tournament attendances are generally holding up because people clear out the time for them and it’s a chance to see their mates and actually get some games in, but anecdotally I know that loads of people are playing significantly less outside of events. ![]() These are people who were dedicated Sigmarites, and the game has lost them. ![]()
