Sheriff Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 10 minutes ago, The Golem said: I hope the Scourge Privateers will be extended and become a fully developped faction like GW did with the Sylvaneths. I think they fit best in AoS than the others factions made/recycled from the ex-dark elves. It fits well in the new world, exploring piratey elfs with dubious morals. Plenty of room for fancy boat and monster models. I guess GW have assessed each mini faction in terms of their fit in the new world, the potential for expansion, going beyond just race and instead culture and theme that could be a cool new thing. I would suggest that 2 of the grot factions fit this profile too - monster-handlers of the Moonclan and Spidefang. Also the chaos dwarfs could have some awesome new magical & technological shenanigans going on, surely, it fits great in the new world. Oh and the Skryre Clan!

Praecautus Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 In addition to some of the great ideas above, I think for 2018 seeing the current interest in AoS continue to grow at my local store in Bury would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyriakin Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I want some clarity with regards to future direction of some of the smaller factions. e.g. Why are Warherds and Brayherds separate? Are there plans for one or the other that neccitated the split, or was it kinda arbitrary? Ditto the various elf factions, etc. Finally, with GW's vast resources, I want to see both the old and new explored, without yielding to the most vocal "ultra progressives" and "ultra conservatives" who feel that their own preference for future design direction should be the only option. There is room for both the traditional and the fantastical in this new world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan.Ford Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Adjusted the some of the Forgeworld points. Skaarac at 500 is just so over costed. And Exalted greater daemons 650 point for the khorne model , that 50 points less the Archaon!!! Stardrake's are 560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tailessine Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Anyone else think that Darkoath could become a totally new faction? A sort of morally grey, barbarian race with big monsters, but leaving the armoured chaos warriors to Slaves to Darkness? As to wishes, i want to see even more Shadespire bands, Nighthaunters battletome (instead of Nighthaunt!) including the Knight of Shrouds, and in my dreams to flesh out one of the destruction sub races, e.g. troggoth or gargants, into a proper army as destruction need more variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheriff Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Regardless of what actually gets released, wouldn't it be cool to even see the concepts and ideas and art for shortlisted new factions? Just what GW consider etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonhel Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I would love to see: Aelves: Hopefully a light and dark faction. A fleshed out Darkoath faction. Plastic Vampires! Preferable heavly armoured. Regular humans ( a mix of Empire and Bretonnia) New basic Chaos Warriors. Heavly armoured in dynamic poses. Like the Bloodwarriors, but even more armoured. And now maybe a less popular hope: I wouldn't mind a third Slaughterpriest miniature. In short, more Stormcast and Khorne Bloodbound *hides* Anyway I am really excited for what the early months of 2018 will bring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmir Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 More death and more destruction models so those 2 Grand alliances start feeling a bit more like something integral to the AoS universe, rather than a sideshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one welcome our OP Order and Chaos overlords, as by the time my 2k Destruction army is painted the Destruction renaissance will begin in earnest. (probably around xmas 2018...)

swarmofseals Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I would like to see the the following (in descending order of likelihood, IMO) 1. A Grand Alliance Death Battletome that introduces a new subfaction (perhaps a more substantial Deathlords or Deathrattle) along with updates and warscroll battalions for the entire Grand Alliance (somewhat like the Khorne and Tzeentch battletomes). A spell lore or two that can go with any Death faction or subfaction would go a long way. 2. Some kind of Aelf release a large battletome that reinvigorates all three subfactions would be ideal but honestly I'd settle for anything. It would be nice if it synergized with the old models at least. 3. Some sort of Destruction release. Grot Sky Pirates would be perfect. Again, ideally this would place nicely with other Destruction stuff rather than being totally self contained. 4. Following these three releases, a marked shift towards a story and setting based release schedule instead of a faction based one. In this scenario releases would focus on a particular location, plotline or event and include new model/rules content releases for multiple different factions at the same time. IMO the worst thing about being a fan of GW games is the feast or famine release schedule. You get one giant hit of new stuff all at once with a ton of new rules and kits and then often go for 2+ years or more (or much worse if you play a neglected faction) without anything. This sort of shift in release strategy would mean that players would get new goodies much more often (maybe one to three times a year) but in smaller quantities (one or two new kits at a time at most). I think that this approach would be better for players and FAR better for GW because it would increase player retention and also make it easier for more people to buy into new content. It's hard to justify picking up a whole new army all at once even if it is only once every couple of years. A couple of new kits a few times a year is much easier. In fact, I bet many players could EASILY be convinced to drop $100 four times a year when it would be difficult to convince them to drop $300 once a year.

FrederickD Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I didn't play or collect the old Warhammer before. When Aos was released I was drawn to it immediately and got hooked in an instant. But by then, the old scenery sets were out of production and people ask a small fortune for them second hand. So I really hope they re-release some of them and make some brand new sets as well. I also want to see Shadespire expanded. It's a great game and the miniatures for it are awesome. Lastly, I hope that the Darkoath are a complete army, not just some characters and a squad or two, and that they are part of the Destruction grand alliance. We have more than enough Chaos already.

Kyriakin Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 With the caveat that i dont know the upcoming release schedule or fluff direction, i dont know why Skaven and Beastmen - as well as smaller archetypes, such as Thunderscorn - didn't end up as Destruction after this world reset. It seems like this would have equalized Chaos and Destruction far better in terms of options, and the above listed archtypes, especially Brayherd, are all pretty much the personification of wanton, wild destruction. I mean, why is an Ogre Destruction, but an Ogre with a dragon's body Chaos? Chaos should begin and end with the four Chaos gods IMHO, with perhaps a few elite undivided options that arch over all four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup That's currently my thinking on it too - basically a Chaos undivided type force. Could be they start off as a smallish force that can be allied and grow from there.

Greasygeek Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 - Nurgle: tome, synergy and battallions that make Rotbringers and Daemons work without the need for a ton of non themed Slaves to Darkness. Your know like Khorne and Tzeentch work. - more Terrain. - more WHQ full expansions or tools to make custom adventures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samanar Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I'd love to see fleshed out Wanderers. Just one more strong unit and one hero or monster, or at the very least updated warscrolls to make them on par with other armies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah those used to be multiple factions, even Stomcast where once two factions that got merged. Both Korn and Stormcast have had a new books that changed a previous books combining two factions into one. For Skaven they do have lots of great units but there are big gaps when they are all separated and MasterClan makes no sense as they have no battleline and you can't have an Ally be your general. If you want use a mix of all they cool skaven stuff (I like variety for painting and on the table top) you are mixed Chaos witch means lots of clan rats, this is fine for now but it would be cooler if they got more of the Seraphon treatment. GW could do something like: if your general is keyword Masterclan all battleline-if units for there respective clans count as battleline and you gain some new rules (the one that both Pestins and Skrye share in GHB2017 seems like a good place to start). Basically pull all the clans together under a powerful or well connected leader. That would be thematic it would not kill the other clans and it would mean that any new Skaven stuff they do release will have a wider group who will be able to use it. There are other sub factions who could use the same treatment too. To be honest I even kharadron overlords and fireslayers could used this sort of "Master-Clan" equivalent that could unite the Dwarden under one banner. well that was my two cents. Cheers.

BoK, for one, before that were divided into the Khorne Bloodbound and Daemons of Khorne. 4 hours ago, Sheriff said: If so does that mean there is hope for Skaven to be united in a single allegiance, or grots in a single allegiance? Who knows. Not for all it's good, but it's possible certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
