I'm splitting a box already with Clayton, so I was really just looking to get a few of the models like the evocators and sequitors. If no one else wants to just split it 50/50 with me I'll let you know and they're yours.

Full rules are out for the 2nd edition, released by GW themselves today: www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Rulesheets/ENG_AoSSW_Rules_booklet_web.pdf18 page pdf - only slight changes from the first edition, and feels a lot like 8th ed 40k, which I think is a really good thing. As much as 8th ed borrowed from 1st edition AoS, this new edition cements it further. Biggest changes I see: * Base to Base measuring instead of model to model measure - makes sense * Allies are no longer limited to 20% points, they're limited to 25% units * Command Point system to activate abilities in the hero phase - you get 1 CP per turn, and 1 per warscroll battalion, and they can be purchased with points as well * No shooting out of combat - if you're in combat, you have to shoot the enemy unit you're engaged with - makes sense So it basically plays like 40k, except the psychic phase is before movement, abilities are stratagems, you can shoot into combat, and chargers don't go first in combat (alternate 1 and 1). I dig it!

25% units might revert to 20% points on the generals handbook that dictates matched play.
I'm very excited for 2nd edition. Clayton and I were considering developing a narrative to build armies and possibly include some shadespire.
Anyone else down?

Its more of a painting suggestion than a challenge lol I'm "painting" some sylvaneth for that too, I'd be down to do some kind of AoS narrative (wherein I likely never play any games, since, y'know, suburbs)

So instead of buying the starter set, since people to split with are hard to find (everyone wants ghosts, I get it), I just ordered the nighthaunt half + rulebook + generals handbook instead. I'm excited to see how fast I can paint these guys - I might actually get an entire faction painted for the first time in my history of wargaming. This is momentous, lets celebrate

"Black counts as 2 colors" - dark eldar probably
I plan on painting my nighthaunt white and spooky like Casper, from that 90s horror movie staring Bill Pullman. Prime grey, glaze and wash the recesses in some kind of primary color (nihilakh oxide looks good but is done to death, might do like a purple tint), paint flat areas ulthuan grey, edge highlight white scar. Then pick out rusty metal with leadbelcher + ryza rust, bone with screaming skull + agrax, call it a day. Should be fast, but look pretty nice.
