The new and old models clash horribly from a visual perspective. Just because an army didn't get new models with their first update doesn't mean they won't ever get them. Remember that GW right now has limited producing capabilities. It's not like they have one game - they have AoS, 40k, LotR, Warcry, WHU, Necromunda, Blood Bowl, Aeronautica Imperialis, Adeptus Titanicus etc., etc. You're too fast with your judgements.

Either orcs got new models when they became ironjawz OR ironjawz isn’t worked up from the ground for AoS because ‘Ard boys were in there from the start.* again don’t you expect to niche changes? * was the weird on end times or AoS?

Kramer Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 But back to the fun bits 😁 who’s buying the limited edition tome? I got one for Ogors. Really bought into that release, got #6 out of 200 something. And I bought it on Monday night not Saturday on release. so curious to see how they manage orders and the popularity of the tome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michu Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) TBH I don't understand paying twice the price for different cover and bookmark. I expect something more for LE.'

The ogor one was €65 vs €32,50 for the normal one. Honestly absolutely worth it for me. But I had 2,5K of painted ogors. One feast of bones box later and I had enough to last me painting till now (also painted Brokk and a bunch of stormcast though). If I were starting an army I’d rather spend the 32,50 on an extra box of minis. But if your set, a slow painter or a collector. The set is very worth it. The cover is of a softer material so it feels nice to hold, the book marker genuinely handy during games/list building and the gilded edges do look cool. but this is from someone with enough expendable income and a fully painted army so no need to buy models to play or paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the “coming next week” article, you can see tokens for 2 aethergold shares in the spread of the warscroll cards. Seems like a good indicator that there will be a way to get more shares, including giving shares to smaller units (possible a sub-allegiance ability for the super rich sky-port whose name I can’t remember at the time).

Barak-Nar is the richest port. At the moment their thing is anti-magic. I could see them pivot to support the Aether-gold shares mechanic.

While Nar is definitely the largest and most influential, Urbaz is renowned for the negotiating skill of their merchants. Nar was the port who got extra relics during army creation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barak-Nar should be the most generalized skyport so more aethergold-shares would be fitting (as they are also the richest). Also they are renowned for the best fleet commanders, so i expect some crazy good options for admirals 😍 Edited December 31, 2019 by Phasteon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just double checked with the Battletome. Barak-Urbaz is the Khemist city (Khemist can use their buff twice, plus the extra artefact), while the Battletome calls Barak-Nar the biggest and most influential sky-port (also the home of Brokk Grungsson).

None of the 1.0 to 2.0 Armies got massive update on units. Its plain to see that GW was trying to get all Armies on the same page.

Khemists are their other specialty. They are merchants first - hence "the Market City". The reason why they have advanced Khemists, is because they are so money-grubbing and greedy that their Khemists are obsessed with squeezing every last drop of profit out of their bounty. Quoted from the book- "It is said that bartering with a trader from Barak-Urbaz is more treacherous than navigating a shoal of stunfish. Barak-Urbaz is the most cosmopolitan of the sky-ports, and its citizens pursue profit with unmatched zeal" Edited December 31, 2019 by mikethefish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new and old models clash horribly from a visual perspective. That‘s a pretty pessimistic point of view, don‘t you think so? By this standard, Sylvaneth, Skaven, FeC, Beasts of Chaos, and many other armies are nearly dead...and so would be the game. it‘s pretty clear, that gw is trying to bring all Armies to AoS 2.0 standard. We are just one book apart from that...that is something i rarely experienced in my nearly 18 years in the hobby. They‘re updating every faction within 18-20 months...(it took 3-5 years in warhammer fantasy)...when they are done, they wont drop AoS 3.0 directly...so we are talking of 1-2 years of a release limbo, where we can expect everything from minor updates, over new models for existing factions through Campaigns to totally new factions. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SteveJames Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 15 hours ago, Barkanaut said: ironjaws and beastclaw raiders both now souped and effectively dead as their own factions also KO bad since original release Iron Jaws are still unique as are the Bone Splitters you can still play them as as their own Allegiance with as many options as before. Just now you have the additional option to use them as great Waugh. BCRs Allegiance is gone but you can still play the same list as before just instead of taking Gutbusters as allies they can be true Allegiance.
