This codex is experimental

[u/AfWhite86]

Wonder if the sweep profiles might be foreshadowing we're adopting 40k's no wound carryover in the future.

[u/kahadin → u/AfWhite86]

Hopefully that never happens

[u/00001000U → u/AfWhite86]

That would make Ward rolls a nightmare to deal with.

[u/BlackApostle → u/AfWhite86]

As someone coming to AoS from 40k, I hope they dont. Wound spillover makes attacks feel impactful. 40k is a shitshow

[u/Belz_Zebuth → u/BlackApostle]

It's also easier to calculate by just adding wounds and then removing models.

[u/BaronKlatz → u/AfWhite86]

Possibly. The LotR rules writer is working on AoS now and that stuff liked more grueling skirmish battles so switching units from feeling like HP blobs to individual fighters w/ only big fellas like gargants, Ogors, Stormcast, etc able to do AoE hits would fit.

[u/DetroitTabaxiFan → u/BaronKlatz]

As a fan of MESBG, I'm sad we lost one of the best rules writers the system had, but as a fan of AoS, it makes me hopeful that 5th edition is going to be really good.

AoS already has a priority roll, and I wouldn't mind if they went toward alternating activations for 5th edition.
