GW teased a ton of new Age of Sigmar 2.0 rules for both the Slaves to Darkness and Ironjaws factions. Don’t miss these updates.
We’ll be taking a look at some factions and what they will look like in Age of Sigmar second edition, that should help give players a basic idea of how to build their army lists going forward.
First off Everchosen and Slaves to Darkness are not getting hurt in AoS 2.0.
Warhammer Community has already shown that they are getting some nice touches to one-up your opponent.
Everchosen & Slaves to Darkness
Slaves to Darkness are one of the most versatile factions to play in AoS because they can be allied with anything Chaos related. You really can’t go wrong with these guys.
Warhammer Community shed some light on a new warscroll battalion that has the power to put turn order in your favor.
The Everchosen, in particular, have a deadly advantage in the new edition with the Overlords of Chaos warscroll battalion. Made up of Archaon, a Gaunt Summoner and a unit of Varanguard – all great units in their own right – this formation means that turn priority is always fifty-fifty, rather than providing either player with an advantage, as well as letting you know if you’re going to get a double turn or not.
Matched play fans will be pleased to know that several units have had their points reduced, including Archaon, the Varanguard, and the Chaos Warshrine – you’ll be able to find these in this year’s edition of the General’s Handbook (which we’ll be previewing in full in time).
Curious to see how Archaon would work in the new edition? Warhammer Community also said:
We’ve had loads of questions about Archaon’s command ability in the new edition, and how it will function with heroes all being able to use their unique command abilities. Archaon will be receiving some small changes in the new edition, but his command ability will remain almost unchanged – and will still be one of the most powerful in the game.
If you were wondering how the Ironjaws would look after being ported into AoS 2.0, don’t be worried.
Warhammer Community posted some information and they actually got a buff in the form of a new spell that we know you’re chomping at the bit for.
Why Play Ironjawz
Ironjaws are the tanks of AoS. they can take a lickin’ and keep on kickin’. But don’t forget they can lay down a beatin’ until you stop breathin’. One huge bonus to playing Ironjawz is that if your charging unit killed an enemy unit, you can pick a different unit to fight before your opponent even gets to do anything. Orks may not be the brightest but they are very good at bashing ‘eads.
What’s even more great news is that These “Ardboyz aren’t losing any of their artifacts, command traits, and warscroll battalions. Maw-krushas and Gordrakk are also getting a point reduction even though we don’t know how much of one.
Fans of Maw-krushas will be pleased to know that these iconic monsters have dropped in points for matched play games, as has Gordrakk himself –so you can now fit More-crushing into your army…
Ravening Hunger
Hopefully, you’ve seen this picture floating around the web. This is one of those interactive spells that last longer and can move around the table. The stats of this thing are pretty nasty.
The first thing that comes to mind is the horrible bravery all Skaven have. If this spell passes through a Stormfiend unit that is only bravery 6, that makes its bravery 5. If it kills a Stormfiend, the units’ bravery is basically 4 and that means there’s a lot of room for a 100 point model to run away.
Now we don’t know the casting cost or movement chart on this bad boy yet so that could make it more or less scary. But this is definitely giving the Orcs a nice edge.
After seeing this tidbit of information, what else do you think will be coming next in AoS 2.0?
What do you think Archaon’s warscroll will look like? What about the movement on Ravening Hunger? Let us know over in the comments on Facebook
