Look I know this is an 8th ed forum where the hate of AoS is strong. But I am personally quite excited for the new edition of AoS which launches at the end of this month.
They have intentionally pulled in quite a few of 8th ed type rules mechanics and flavor into this new edition:
-A core rule book containing 84 universal magic items
-Lores of magic (based on the winds of magic/realms) that it looks like all armies will have access to (to varying degrees)
-"Big 6" spells like Purple Sun, Penumbral Pendulum, Burning head etc.
Doesn't make it 8th but clearly they wanted to pull more of that 8th mechanics/flavor forward into AoS.

The launch boxed sets looks to have a ton of very cool things.

No, actually this set looks pretty good! I'm REALLY liking the Spell Set as well as the Objective Markers! I know that I've been an 8th purest all these years, but even I have to admit that this is tempting. I've been considering getting into AoS via Shadespyre for some quick, skirmish games, but this might need to be the way I go. Box edition sets are always a good deal as well. I just hope I can save up enough cash. I'm sure all of that will cost an arm and a leg.
need to save some cash as my chaos dwarfs have dug a hole in my pocket...
