Entombet Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Do you noticed that Skullcracker is not in new ghb?. Edited June 21, 2019 by Entombet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldshrimpeyes Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Was expecting to see something about allies in the GHB but after an initial pass I can't see anything. Am I missing something or has this been over looked again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 WHAT?! That will suck ****** if those aren't available to use in matched play anymore. They were THE units that wrecked the most face for me in every game I had them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was just looking through it and logged on to comment, that has to be a misprint, the warscroll is still available on forgeworld. They usually do all they can to keep existing models available for play for people that own them, I'll be pretty pissed if they just refuse to make it playable anymore.

Yeah idk if we were overlooked in the chaos allies section, that would be horrible if they were taking away all of our allies too because we used to have plenty of people we could ally in. I'm assuming most of this is an oversight because it is the first time they are starting to print forgeworld material in the GHB. At least I am hoping, I was actually pretty hopeful when I heard about it because forgeworld takes so long with updates I was hoping they might have handed over just the points updates to GW which would mean they might come more regularly but that's just all speculation.

Browncoat89 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I just sent an email and posted on their facebook page inquiring about both the Skullcracker points and the allies list. We should all send emails to get them to address it in the FAQ or something if they intend to keep them around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackspine Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Oof. While I'm hoping it's a misprint / omission, its something that I've been dreading. The cast is broken and they don't make it anymore. That being said, there's a ton in circulation and probably more conversions. If emails don't work, an online petition could add that small note in the FAQ. Cross your fingers.

Browncoat89 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 It's not much but they did have me forward it to the official GW email that usually deals with the FAQ release so that is something. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbarker Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I can semi understand the skull cracker. It's been OOP for a while now but for such a limited unit pool army, taking a choice away if you actually have one is mad. I know they don't like people converting things from none GW material but when they physically don't sell it anymore not sure I see the issue. The allies going is just madness though, literally no reason I can think of to justify it. Holding out for a correction via faq or update to the "battletome" pdf. Failing that pretend this year didn't happen and continue with the 2018 rules 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charly2912 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) I am sure its just an Error. I cant imagine them taking Away our strongest unit and/or allegiances. I mean even the mammoth and other oop stuff is still legally featured Edited June 25, 2019 by Charly2912 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 And should our allies remain estranged and foreign, we can always have mercenaries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Televiper11 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Without the Chaos Sorcerer Lord ally, my K'daai heavy list stops making sense. I have a 2K tourney coming up and without the CSL, I'd have to re-imagine my entire list and strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K'daai would still have their uses, just less so, imo. If they FAQ allies back in, I'll be happy to run them in big numbers again. If not, I'm thinking of rebuilding my list from the ground-up around the Artillery Train + Blackshard Warhost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyriakin Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) I don't play The 9th Age or Legion of Azgorh, but was randomly flicking through their forum and saw this complete history of the Chaos dwarfs from the 80's to the present day (including Blood Bowl and Man o' War). https://www.the-ninth-age.com/index.php?thread/46255-chaos-dwarfs-through-the-ages-whfb/ I was exclusively a Big Hat guy in the 90's, and I thought it might be a nostalgia trip for others too.

Browncoat89 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) I was just thinking how cool some of the merc companies could fit in fluff wise because instead of paying them I'd love to build a narrative list where the Legion has just begun slipping into other realms to keep enslaving other races. Paint up the other models in chains. I was so bummed when we lost all of our hobgoblin slaves and now I can add slaves back into my army! Would be super fun for a narrative list but I haven't read through them enough yet to see if any of them would be competitive or not. I guess I know what I'm doing with my day off tomorrow lol. Anyone see any that would match up well with the army yet? Edited June 27, 2019 by Browncoat89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 That's a super awesome take on the mercs! Assuming we still cannot use the Skullcrackers, I was thinking the two big giants could be useful, or Skroug's menagerie for one giant and some furies, who are fast and can fly, though I haven't seen how they compare points wise to K'daai. The vampire knights are also an interesting choice....or the flesheater courts if we can take a big dragony guy with them, I see no 'Royal' ones, but maybe they have peasant versions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furies are 60pts. I've run them before for their cheap mvt and ability to act as chaff. That merc company is intriquing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Televiper11 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) I'm seeing the potential in a Skroug's based list. Here's a rough draft: Mortal Realm: AqshyBull Centaur Taur'ruk (160)- General- Trait: Grotesque - Artefact: Armour of Bazherak the Cruel Daemonsmith (100)- Darkforged Weapon- Artefact: Chalice of Blood and Darkness Infernal Guard Castellan (120)- Darkforged Weapon & Pyrelock Pistol- Artefact: Thermalrider Cloak Infernal Guard Battle Standard Bearer (100)10 x Infernal Guard Fireglaives (100)10 x Infernal Guard Fireglaives (100)10 x Infernal Guard Ironsworn (90)10 x Infernal Guard Ironsworn (90)5 x Furies (60)- Allies1 x Chaos Spawn (50)- AlliesChaos Gargant (170)- AlliesDeathshrieker Rocket Launcher (120)Magma Cannon (140)Magma Cannon (140)Iron Daemon War Engine (180)Blackshard Warhost (160)Hashut's Wrath Artillery Train (120)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 2Allies: 280 / 400Wounds: 112 Maybe drop the Standard Bearer & the Blackshard Warhost to take some K'daai or Endless Spells but that third artefact is kinda tasty. Could also drop the Chaos Spawn for an extra CP. Edited June 27, 2019 by Televiper11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
