  1. It was never progression. Grom and Gorbad both trashed the Empire respectively decades and centuries before WFB's 'present day' and the reign of Karl Franz ect. 4th edition WFB's background was very much written as a long timeline of previous engagements between factions who's methods of waging war had remained unchanged for hundreds, sometimes thousands of years, in an effort to encourage players to recreate 'historical' battles as an excuse for characters to fight. There were a lot of already long dead special characters back then! Unless you mean progression like Ghazgkull's recent stuff, though I'm not sure why anyone who claims to like orcs/orks/orruks would want that!
  2. If you picked the box up new and have a receipt, GW are usually pretty good at sending out a replacement. I've had boxes with missing bases before, and friends have experienced pieces missing from sprues like yours, and they've promptly sent out replacements, so give their customer services a try. Be warned, if you bought the box from an independent seller you may expect a bit of extra red tape. Good luck!
  3. Some Skaven are born from ten foot long obese breeders, some are born from 'eggs', others are delivered by a Blanchitsu stork. Infinite Realms baby 🤷‍♂️
  4. Welcome to TGA. I admire your optimism. -longtime lurker who make an account five years ago!
  5. Eff me, I forget about the Globadiers and Warpfire Thrower. Now that Eldar Warlocks have finally been retired (😢) I think they're probably GW's longest serving minis!
  6. What are Beastmen? (Not even gonna pretend Chaos Dwarfs are a thing)
  7. I've played like two games of the new edition and had forgotten the general's (pointless) free shield was a modifier and didn't stack. Thanks for the heads up, you just saved me painting a griffon!
  8. The Steam Tank Commander's not bad with the +1 save artefact, but I can't help wishing I'd painted up a +1 save griffon instead...
  9. FAQ of legacy warscroll with matched play points. Most importantly includes dwarf cannons https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/u8HUNVKydnPpvowA.pdf
  10. Invite links sent, welcome aboard @GT_Probably and @Frowny
  11. I can understand the Chaos Gods bringing their individual champions/recent sculpts back for AoS, but even Archaon would struggle to find a reason to want to bring Crom back. He was pretty unremarkable footnote in the 2500 year history of human Chaos champions under Storm of Chaos continuity, and was one of probably hundreds of Chaos champions Valten (an equally ignominious footnote by 2015) rode his horse over during the End Times. I'd call this suggested fan service... if Crom had ever had any fans. I'll take it, but only if CoS get the Speculum.
  12. Thanks! 😃 If the blog's inactive, it's been more of a gentle slide into inactivity than a conscious thing. I've been very busy with work, and haven't had as much time/interest in AoS as previously. I've got adding Settler's Gain and Excelsis to the Cities of Sigmar quiz and updating the discontinued unit proxy articles with Lumineth and 3.0 stuff on the to list, but can't find the time or enthusiasm for them atm. The blog may well transition into a Warmaster blog for a little while, as that's what my friends and I are currently painting and getting excited about. 🙂
  13. Dogs of War Kislev Chaos Dwarfs Large chunks of my big 'ol Dwarf and Empire armies The small collection of Swifthawk Agents I painted up when Spire of Dawn came out Actual Squats These are pretty much the only armies I've ever owned/painted. I should really collect Space Marines, just so GW stop making them
  14. I read it as Muster - what kind of super powered eyes do you guys have?
  15. Don't you go forgetting dwarfs with puffy clothes and feather hats there beardlet!
  16. Thanks, I'm already factoring them in, as well as the Cursed City heroes and the upcoming Broken Realms Witch Hunter duo as obvious replacements for some discontinued Empire models...
  17. I really need to update this with High Elf>Lumineth stuff, but it should still be good for Wood Elves: https://www.doublemisfire.com/2019/09/no-substitute-discontinued-units-in_26.html?m=1
  18. Here are the points values included with the game. Unfortunately they're all Leaders... https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/5361
  19. The Settler's Gain artefacts list has a preface saying they can only be taken by SG Collegiate Arcane heroes. Quite why you'd have to ask the author 🤷‍♂️
  20. +2 attacks on a Hurricanum mounted wizard's staff isn't gonna be teeeerrrrible for x3 3+/3+/-1/D3, but yeah totally agree that Settler's Gain artefacts should be for Collegiate and Freeguild.
  21. The reroll 1s to hit Hysh sword (at least I'm guessing that's the magic sword he's getting as he can't take any Settler's Gain artefacts) on a Freeguild General with Raging Outburst hidden behind bodyguard saves looks like a really good combo. Are you taking an Errant-Questor using the warscroll from the Warhammer World only box, or a regular Knight Questor? The Errant-Questor gives an extra bodyguard save, so guessing him. 👍 The Loreseeker's objective shenanigans sure look like they have potential, but remember he can only hold onto the objective he starts the game next to regardless of enemy numbers. The rules for the Hurricanum pretty clearly state that you can't stack +1 to hit and +1 to cast buffs from multiple Hurricanums.
  22. I hope whatever happens Arkhan's trip to the Realm's edge fixes his teeth. Gotta feel for the guy, bought back a gazillion times by Nagah with the same canonically awful teeth, and no lips to hide them behind.
