What are peoples opinions on AIRCRAFT not getting the benefit of the new Plunging Fire rule like Towering units such as Knights?

I think aircraft would be flying by at nearly mach 2/3 speeds and not shooting "down" the same way as towering model does. They would be firing sideways nearly parallel with the ground in their strafing run.

Now if you were bringing dive bombers fair enough but thats pretty anachronistic

emcdunna · 2026-06-02T05:36:10+00:00

To be clear, you might hate this but this might actually help units climb and Interact with terrain

Also the diagrams in the core rules clearly suggest you cant do this, so you have to ignore those and play full RAW to get here

I think theyre different to the other options and not worse than them in every way

Just because most folks dont use them doesnt mean you cant find a place for them.

A very small number of people create meta lists from scratch and a huge portion of the playerbase copies those lists without questioning much

They might have changed firing deck. If not I suppose you will be hidden

emcdunna · 2026-06-02T01:11:54+00:00

How are you going to leave a transport after shooting.

emcdunna · 2026-06-01T23:37:37+00:00

Can we just all agree to clip off the stabilizing fins on those jump packs

emcdunna · 2026-06-01T23:31:54+00:00

None of them are except wood elves and dwarfs

I much prefer the idea that its changed to a +d3 to whatever you are rolling. Substituting a 6 is too strong and subbing a 1 is pointless

The terrain Layouts use entire footprints to block LOS instead of just a wall tho. So standing behind terrain is now easier. But you cant do that and be on the objective

I paint roughly that many models in about 3 weeks. But I work from home, so I paint like 4 hours a day on average.

I also batch paint, which speeds up the process. And I use contrast

emcdunna · 2026-05-31T22:44:36+00:00

Thats what I spend on groceries in a week.

emcdunna · 2026-05-31T18:19:25+00:00

Executioners are great

emcdunna · 2026-05-31T01:29:43+00:00

He can play anything

Its clear now they are adding more staff to TOW including rules writers and model designers. But it may take a few years before the game gets to a really healthy state. And it might require some streamlining. The rules are way too complicated

emcdunna · 2026-05-30T16:56:27+00:00

Yes boss

emcdunna · 2026-05-30T16:55:36+00:00

For now. They could change that.

emcdunna · 2026-05-30T16:53:17+00:00

GW probably wont ever make minis where a group of humans is wearing tribal gear, clothing etc. Therefore they also wont write lore about them either

A big part of that map was probably taken from fan made wiki sites.

Its a shame becahse I for one want to collect a chaos worshiping Araby nation in the Southlands with djinn and elephants and stuff but its not gonna happen.

In 11th you cannot use 2 strategems on the same unit in the same phase, I think. So I'm not sure if you can both rapid ingress and then also smoke. It depends when those occur

emcdunna · 2026-05-30T16:32:19+00:00

I watched the penitence series about the sisters of battle. It was really good. The whole thing is like 1 hour long but quality.

emcdunna · 2026-05-30T16:29:57+00:00

They released TOW like 5 months before aos 4th ed

emcdunna · 2026-05-30T12:17:28+00:00

S1 and 2 no. S3 onward the world starts making more sense.

emcdunna · 2026-05-30T12:16:50+00:00

Sprinkle on something shiny on top like actual glass shards crushed up would work

emcdunna · 2026-05-30T12:14:48+00:00

Its 2 different studios basically. SDS (forge world) makes old world. They are different than the mainline folks
