I think it's business smart that they've included the GHB and Spearhead starter kit in the Skaventide box: it makes it a much higher value proposition but also means more people will buy a box for themselves rather than just take half the models.

For a future list of technical corner cases, combat both requiring 3" range and visibility, and both of those factors being model to unit, means you can have a situation where models from one unit can fight but some or no models from the other unit can not. Like if all modes are in range but behind a tall wall, one model has a very tall spear that every model in the other unit can see, now that spear guy can fight and all models in the other unit can fight. Could even be that the model with spear is further away than 3", but visibile, while other models in it's unit are within 3" but not visibile, now one side has both visibility and range and and can fight 'through the wall', but the other side has no models that can fight.

Great clarifications on some sticky points. Can't wait until the Indexes drop.

I've said it already, but I'll repeat here: how long before the Underdog mechanic becomes "whoever has >5 VPs fewer than the other player" or something? August? September?

I would love to read the rules in details while we wait for the warscroll but they are not yet available unfortunately so all I can do is learn from videos like yours and other content creators who have early access!

I haven’t been as hyped for anything warhammer since GW released Betrayal at Calth and the Horus Heresy Red Books. Let’s go.

Very good video. Thanks!

Awesome video guys Love providing real commentary on what the game will be like. Vince your channel continues to be my favorite Warhammer channel across both games.. Couple of questions though would love to get your thoughts on, do you see the reduction in shooting damage (and magic damage) to be the nail in the coffin for pure shooting/magic damage armies? As a DOT eternal conflag player I'm in shambles here, Lost my allies which were all my front line, Lost my MVB, Lost hero Spam not hurting me tons, and shooting is nerfed. Really unsure how many points I'll be able to put on the table now when I used to have 2K and if those will be able to do anything. Secondly, with the changes to a more rock paper scissors style, do you see it as being an even larger disadvantage than in third to be a very slow army? I'm just thinking of my nurgle army which was very slow and prodding even for nurgle, focused on clogging the board up with plaguebearers which I spread out to body block, buffed up, and then just nuked with lots of magic / disease damage. Can't spread my plaguebearers out anymore, disease does little damage vs before, and I'm slow so my enemy is going to have the ability to set up who charges who. Anyways I'm still really looking forward to this edition I'm just trying to think about these two forces and how they will adapt. Likewise sylvaneth and the tiny area that your terrain covers that can be killed. My STD I'm not concerned about it all lol.

Thank you sir! Hope you're doing well.

It's looking like 4th edition works in a way that is much more in line with how my brain works! Even the whole who is doing the action thing seems intuitive to me. Appreciate that not everyone's brain works the same way - I basically sat 3rd ed out as I found it too much. This feels, on first impression, more natural to me

Thks for sharing your insights Vince. Disappointed that taking the double turn ends up giving one the underdog advantage... which results in taking the double turn being quite viable ... Hmmm wonder for tournament plays, will the loss of VPs matter given tie breakers? A few will be going 4-1 record .. etc

One large change from 3rd to 4th that I think people are overlooking. Plus 1 to charge is pretty hard to find where it used to be everybody with a musical instrument giving +1 to charge.

I'm really looking forward to this addition, I left 18 months ago because the battle tatics killed it for me being overly conditional. How do you bridge the gap of skill level, I found playing 3rd I auto lost post deployment, stormcast deepstricking fulminators into infranty with the extra damage from galletian rules, no way of screening without costing the opportunity to score VPs. It felt the game came down to who won the priority roll. To the first question of bridging the gap, I guess practice is key, although when you lose so badly, you dont really learn anything, such a negative gaming experience.

Not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere but at the end of movement phase if i deepstrike with a unit does my opponent get to redeploy after my deepstrike? Since im active player and my abilities need to be finished before my opponent. Would love to have an answer to this. Great content like always!

@VinceVenturella

2 күн бұрын

Yes, you use all of your abilities, then they use theirs. So they are using redeploy after you use all of our things. There is no "End of the movement phase" anymore. It's just an ability in your movement phase.

Would much rather double turns reduce your CP by 2 and give the other person 2 extra CP. Would give the player getting doubled agency to fight back using whatever CAs are most relevant to them, and the player taking the double will be extremely limited in what CAs they can use

can't wait for chaos dwarves to release that use smogey bogey token and spells truly will be a shift in the lore 😂

Cover the underdog mechanic potentially being busted a bit more I apparently overlooked this in the articles and had far too hastily (after seeing you can't do a BT if you double) judged double turns as neutered Expand on how they interact with the underdog mechanic more --- it seems like you take a temporary risk to not score well for a turn for an overall higher payout in the end (in addition to smashing your opponent's army to dust)

I feel like the Underdog mechanice can be fixed with "if you ever chose a double turn you forfeit the underdog bonus for the rest of the game." but honestly just remove it entirely.

I am hyped for the edition overall, but I am also deeply worried about the double turn... I fear that it's way WAY to strong now, not just due to the underdog mechanic, but also with the increase in combat range and weakening of shooting going twice will be even more devastating, especially for melee heavy armies that are reasonably fast. The double turn was never my favorite mechanic, but I never outright hated it either. I'm afraid I may now outright hate the mechanic.

Help me understand why priests are better than wizards? Yes you can unleash prayer and stock up points, but you can also unleash spell and just have two spells? How is taking a turn off to power up strictly better than casting two spells? Not to mention the miscast chance is 1/36 versus 1/6 to fail a prayer and lose ritual points?

@VinceVenturella

5 күн бұрын

Sure, happy to help. So it's about the -1. The chance you actually cast the spell with the -1 becomes really low, it's a big change in the success rate, especially when a lot of spells are on 6-7 base, so moving to 7-8 when there are few bonuses to cast anywhere means you are likely throwing points away (its not always bad, I am speaking to the average case). However, with the praryers, not only does it not matter if you fail (as you just bank the points), but you are also building up to their second tier effects, which are often VERY powerful. So by spending those points off turn with a wizard, you get a chance to maybe get a spell, but you stand something like a 40-60% chance of getting nothing. When you chant off turn, you have a 84% chance of getting something, likely pushing you toward your power up prayer and big effect.

Now that is some wonderful corporate speech.

2:13:49 Vince I respectfully disagree, there's nothing in the rules that explicitly says Magical Intervention (MI) and Unbinding usage should be treated dissimilar to other abilities, regardless of the former being a command nor the latter being a reaction. Both MI and Unbinding sport failure conditions - MI says you can use a spell or prayer ability as appropriate. If you exceed the number of Unbinds you have available per your unit's power level, while you are able to keep doing it because it explicitly states it violates The Rules of One, it fails in that it has no effect. Just like you can fail to use a spell, prayer or banish ability if the unit in question exceeds the number determines by their power level per phase. If I am using MI, then I am using a spell or prayer ability, and spell or prayer abilities have fail conditions based around power level. If MI has fail conditions for using abilities that have fail conditions based on power level, then the fail conditions of those abilities are fail conditions for MI. Assuming the player using MI is not violating 1.2 "Using Commands" of the COMMAND Module, there is nothing that additionally states the usage of MI command is a different manner than usage of one or more abilities. If the usage of Unbind as a reaction, which is still an ability, is irrespective on the usage of one or more abilities used per phase, then its usage exclusion is only defined for violating The Rules of One, not additionally for 1.1 & 4.0 of the MAGIC Module. Would love to happily be proven wrong, it's just I don't understand the take that just because a set contains different elements, but those elements aren't introduced in the same paragraph, so that means those staggeredly introduced elements don't follow the rules of other elements in their set, unless explicitly defined that they do.

Are we sure this idea of "you can choose to deploy your units in a regiment individually or as the regiment" is true? I don't see that written in the rules. I just see that it says a unit uses a deploy ability. If you have a regiment, the units in that regiment all have to deploy in sequence without alternating with your opponent. I don't see it specifically written that you can choose to deploy units in a regiment as single deployments. I just think it's explaining how the deploy ability works as a core mechanic, as it would work for auxiliary units or a single unit by itself in its own regiment.

They really didn't just give WAAAGH! once per battle (army)? I get how its technically unnecessary, but it would've made it way easier to parse for new or casual players

One thing that drives me nuts about how GW formats their rules and books in general - the ordering makes no sense to me.
