Even though its my main faction I waited for your video instead of reading it rob, that's how special you are to me

[@Reesily]

Been doing the same as well!

[@caitlynmunneke6580]

@@Reesily haha same :P

[@donutbarbell]

I came here to say the same thing 😂

[@tomsnoxell8402]

Honestly, you are the only source of AOS4 content worth watching. Keep it up mate, top work!

[@thehonestwargamerstreams]

Wow, thanks!

[@Reesily]

Have to agree. Completely new to AOS so good to have someone that can speak to what the rules are going to do in the wider system

[@sashashadowhive6128]

I would say that 2+ tough is also really good. He makes such great videos on explaining the lore in a more manageable way! I highly suggest you give him a watch as well

[@tomsnoxell8402]

@@sashashadowhive6128 Great shout. 2+ tough is fab for lore.. plus his voice is so soothing!

[@CNMarion31]

Thank you Rob! Was hyped for this the whole day

[@JamesFisher-qk5gw]

Picked 2600 points of deepkin off eBay this past winter for a steal. Started painting the spearhead units a few weeks ago (Done with the 10 thralls/and almost done with the Eels). Having a ton of fun painting and looking forward to trying the game for the first time when the new rules are out.

[@chanceisanogle7126]

Just getting into Age of Sigmar and was gifted a load of Idoneth, if I wasn’t having enough fun painting them I’m even more excited for these rules I’ll use in my first game! Thanks Rob you’re a legend!

[@Fistandantilus2000]

the amount of puns is extraordinaire, well done Rob!

[@MrJadeskies]

Overall the army wide rules were nerfed with no ability to shut down shooting every target in range but individual warscrolls look buffed. Also sharks can run/shoot/charge and retreat/shoot/charge in the right tide phase. Thats a massive buff.

[@konstantinoskeremidis1517]

I’m curious to see how the kings play without forgotten nightmares. At 7/8 wounds currently, and shooting on opponents turn they’re gonna die to a light breeze without the anti shoot shenanigan

[@hephestus15]

Idoneth Deepkin allows a player to play Baby Shark music once per battle to enrage the opponent. This is a major consideration for casual games.

[@pixelmix.]

I have watched most of these and I truly appreciate the time you take to explain the fundamentals of what new AoS 4 will be structured around for each faction. Looking forward to finally playing a game of AoS when this stuff releases! Here's to hoping that Ossiarch Bonereapers faction focus being a banger!

[@Vyrullax]

Your faction focus reviews for AoS 4 really keeps the hype of AoS 4 going for me. Also helps to paint an early picture of how good or bad a rule or ability might be for the casual person.

[@jacobgale4792]

Fav army in AoS !

[@mattgriffin8230]

I look forward to your reviews, thanks for all your hard work!

[@benthomas5108]

Loving the content Rob! Loving AOS4 so far - I just really wish the ward save info was displayed more clearly on warscrolls, somewhere up next to the standard save value.

[@MrGreenpaulo]

Yeah that design choice was a weird one

[@GrimGrotStudios]

Idoneth Deepkin are my main army, and I am very excited for them in 4th ed, their mobility and control mechanics I think are going to be really fun to play

[@jtowensbyiii6018]

They're definitely in the top 3 strongest armies so far with no weaknesses "yet"

[@GoldenRogueMinis]

Seems very much the same with a few nice tweaks/buffs. Loss of forgotten nightmares, maybe this will be in another battalion. Great job Rob, best source for everything AOS 4. I watch the videos even after I read the articles lol

[@chrisaurovilian4618]

Sounds good. Better than most others so far.

[@Fotta1989]

Looks like they kept a lot of their cool character

[@BeefyCrunch]

Teleport spell in opponents turn on a 7 is strong. Many ways to negate opponents battle tactic. Then level up with counter charge or suppression fire

[@christopherkruse1370]

They didn't let us know what the gloomtide shipwreck does now... I hope im garrisoning it and sailing it around the board..even from reserve. It would be amazing and fits with the themes ive seen here..

[@Mithlinthar]

There's no garrisoning in 4.0 anymore.

[@tombackhouse7271]

Did you ever do the full faction focus vid for idoneth

[@darco33]

I really like the looks of how they play, but i cant bring myself to play order

[@allenfinkenaur5001]

So let me get this straight: Elves riding sharks with hyperphasing/teleporting shenanigans? Looks like I'm converting from 40k to AoS 4!

[@ndpizzle]

Awesome video

[@hugheja89]

The tokens and objective markers are neat. Are you planning on selling the stls for markers as well or just physical prints?

[@Goomberdups]

wheres the rest

[@daisuke133]

All in all, I'm pretty happy with the changes. A bit sad to see (sea) forgotten nightmare go, but denying shooting beyond 12" in possibly everyturn by the tidecaster has me interested.

[@mouserposting]

I'm just hoping that you can no longer spam a gazillion sharks in 4th edition, because Idoneth Shark spam lists are utterly miserable to play against at the moment.

[@jtowensbyiii6018]

Looks like sharks are better than ever

[@mouserposting]

That they are. I'm going to assume that the Sharks will either go up in points for this edition and/or there are caps on how many of the same unit you are allowed to bring. Otherwise an already existing problem unit is just going to be made even worse. Shark spam is already awfully unengaging, uninteractive and just extremely unfun to play against for multiple reasons.

[@minacapella8319]

All the nautical puns, rob? I sea what you did there.

[@DaHobbles]

Stonks 📈

[@JHTheHurricane]

ROB THE CONTENT KING!

[@shaunscott4773]

Pretty sure the Ishlaen guard only get the 5+ ward if they charged? Overall I love this, they are my main faction and they seem to be even more fun than before. I'm not a fan of the reduce attacks characteristic as I just think it's a lame rule across the board. Very happy with everything else though. Thanks Rob!

[@s6pavey]

Hi Rob, now that about half the armies are previewed, I would love your opinion if you agree that there are not huge changes to the abilities and functions of the armies. That is my impression.

[@AlexRodigue]

how does a wet elf have a better save characteristic than a giant centaur God with a massive magic shield?

[@jtowensbyiii6018]

It's harder to hit a person than the side of a barn

[@briochepanda]

Remember how dangerously quick you went on a slip and slide?

[@AlexRodigue]

@@jtowensbyiii6018 then my grots should have a 2+ save?

[@corbanbausch9049]

@@AlexRodigue nah, because there are so many of them, any shot is bound to hit _someone_

[@squidjuice666]

In the novel "court of the blind king" its described that deepkin are incredibly hard to kill due to them living at the bottom of the ocean and the pressure of those depths tempering their bodies

[@StruanHB1]

“You’re really going to struggle with.” Meaning it’ll be a struggle to play against the IDK, or they’ll be a struggle to manage as an IDK player?

[@alexmh1139]

Which livestream can I see to hear robs honest thoughts on AoS 4.0 (thus far), haven't been able to make any livestreams lately due to work

[@akutch564]

I quite like their rules. Thinking of making it my seventh AoS army.

[@KcBull]

How do people feel about everyone having strike first? Feels very very strong but i havent played against deepkin before so is it problematic or are they generally not that deadly so it isnt a problem?

[@KennyArmand]

More mtg references that’s legit helped

[@GhostGuitars]

sounds like could be a difficult army to play against

[@christophersteeves9435]

Do you think you can reduce attacks to 0 if your going up against a moblike force?

[@WindlordRyu]

AoS Wizard scaling be like, Level 1: Gobbo with shiny rock, Level 2: Ultimate Demon of the Chaos God of Funky Shenanigans.

[@kharchieff]

You said steed of tides can be cast in their turn ? How is that? It says your hero phase

[@jtowensbyiii6018]

Recomend watching the video he explains it

[@kharchieff]

@@jtowensbyiii6018 he says " this is cast in YOUR hero phase." 2 sentences later he says "you can also cast this in the enemies turn". That did not explain anything. Thats a contradiction in 3 sentences even. Maybe there are rules he did not explain here but maybe instead of acting like a smartpants you could explain it or just stfu and scroll by 🤷‍♂️

[@jtowensbyiii6018]

@kharchieff watch the video please, he literally explains it lmfao 🤣 you can use a command point to cast in your opponents turn

[@kharchieff]

@@jtowensbyiii6018 thanks for being a helpful friendly human being. Happy to be part of such a community not everyone has english as their first language and understands evetything as easily if it is explained in such a fast talking way

[@saritor]

Where's the Idoneth Deepkin video?!

[@Disciple_]

I came for the AoS 4th preview review content, I stayed for the puns.

[@WeOnlyEatSoup]

Great coverage, just got into AOS halfway through 3rd edition. It's very cool to see how these factions I don't play function and how they used to in some aspects. Between HEYWOAH and ROB this community is spoiled

[@dzav8909]

Kinda wanna pick up some sea elves ngl

[@davidsmyth447]

Steed of tides is in your hero phase only no?

[@thehonestwargamerstreams]

So if you look at the command ability that lets you cast in the opponent turn it says cast as if it were your hero phase. Removing the restriction

[@saschaschutte9722]

Ok my 9 Sharks , what i buy 2 Mons ago was not a mistake 😅

[@VoidofDuskGaming]

Ensnare looks really nice 🦈

[@earnestwanderer2471]

So good to see that there’s so much less Rend in 4th. Just like they eliminated rerolls from 40k 10th. Really, why does GW tell the marketing guys to say these?

[@jtowensbyiii6018]

Ogors didn't get nerfed? They're about the same as they use to be

[@olafolafsson2755]

Why do people think they can evaluate nerfs and buffs based on those few information…?

[@MrGreenpaulo]

Idoneth Deepkin = blue control deck? Ok I'm sold.....I'm getting a deepkin army lol

[@raigomander2817]

I hate playing against IDK

Now FEC doesn't look very strong anymore 🤣

[@TheGraham27]

I think they're fishy.

[@collywwob]

Don't know if its my plaice to say, but I have a bit of a haddock after listening to all that. You cast the net wide butthe video was sunk when you were a bit shallow with your dog(fish)ged use of puns. Fin.

[@ismasekkate9607]

the cheap puns is why we come, no one really cares about gaming stuff
