Right, a big change here, but one foreshadowed by the Maggotkin and Legions of Nagash books. Summoning units to the table now no longer cost reinforcement points always a mechanic which seemed to cause some consternation in the last edition. Instead, factions earn resources to spend on summoning by particular themed in-game events — bloodshed, spreading plague, mastering magic, and other thematic goals, for instance the corruption points in Maggotkin of Nurgle.
The Hosts of Slaanesh , for example, revel in suffering and pain, both given and received, so they generate points when their Heroes deal or receive wounds which do not slay their target. Meanwhile, the Seraphon generate points by performing rituals with their Slann Starmasters and Saurus Astrolith Bearers. Shooting while in combat has been a bugbear for some. However, you can still fire into combats, say if you are across the other side of the board.
In the first edition of Age of Sigmar we have seen the difficult balance between encouraging synergistic heroes that support your army against shooting armies which are able to take out those characters early and at distance. Note that they are still as vulnerable as ever to magic missiles and other ranged attacks. Players will need to consider if they target the hero or the unit, and also think carefully about casualty removal from both shooting and combat.
Games Workshop have made a number of changes to make for cleaner play, especially in tournaments and events. With the new edition come new artefacts. There will be 84 artefacts available for every faction to choose from, depending on the realm that you select for your army. You select a realm at the list-writing stage. Each of the seven realms has 6 magical weapons and 6 trinkets, artefacts, or pieces of armour.
There are now even more benefits for selecting the realm that you will fight your battle in. How you choose the realm is up to players and tournament and event organisers. You may see entire tournaments fought in a particular realm, or certain tables, or just certain rounds.
Flaming Missiles from Aqshy, for example, will help your ranged troops enormously, while in Ghur, Primal Violence can result in a double combat phase! There are six features for each realm, for a total of One Realmscape feature for Ghur that has been mentioned on the Stormcast podcast is that both sides get a free monster that roams independently around the battlefield.
With changes to the fundamental core rules, we can expect a significant change in the number and balance of factions that we see being brought to events.
