If anything I can see them easily in the future doing a duardin set of releases updating all 3 factions. I still think Dispossessed are in a worse position than KO atm and fyreslayers aren’t really that bad at all really. Ok. Question, besides stormcast, who else got a rerelease? Its some chaos factions getting put together. So duardin tome is not impossible? Hmmm 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshin620 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) Unfortunately look who gets to be part of warhammer legends. Spoiler As for the KO/Fyreslayer issue, well imo the main problem is that they are really static in their army composition (one battleline for KO doesn't help). I'm all for keeping legacy armies around, heck I'm so stoked that I'm going to preorder Beasts of Chaos, but I think there needs to be more AoS introduced factions that get a second book that isn't Stormcast Eternals or Khorne (who are probably getting new plastics next year). There needs to be a confidence boost that doesn't leave these armies in the dark for 3 or more years. Yes I know thats how GW usually does it, I've been around since 2008 so I know usually you get a book, then have to twiddle your thumbs for the next 3-5 years (unless you're Bretonnia which meant never). Even "technically Legacy but now are AOS factions" could really use a second book like Beastclaw Raiders to show "don't worry, we didn't give you a half baked battletome only to drop you like a rock". Either that or they should really shake up next years GHB. I'm surprised that GW is so afraid to break all the silly faction keywords they imprisoned themselves with since the rocky launch of AOS. Is it really that mind shattering to go "hey maybe lion rangers should be with someone else like SHA"? Or "ok Dispossessed can have their Gyrocopters/Bombers back."

Myzyrael Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) I had the chance to play two games over the weekend with my dispossessed. The main composition blocks of my army are - due to model availability- a big block of warriors, quarrellers and Thunderers. While they delete a lot in their range I totally struggled to capture any objective. The pickaxe was only semi helpful. So I’m looking around in our allies section for some mobile units that can grab an objective and stumbled over the Vanguard Palladors. Decent move, 4+ save with 5 wounds, okish dmg Output with interesting ranged harrassing Potential and 3 for 200, so 2x3 or 1x6 as allies looks like a nice package. Has anyone some experience with fast allied units in the dispossessed or other ideas how to capture objectives that are outside our footslogging range?

Dispossessed have the ability to cross the whole table over the course of the game as long as you dont get suckered into holding a defensive line the entire time, a gunline list will do that. If you want rapid response then allies like Palladors are good, as are Prosecutors, or Kharadron Riggers or skywardens if you prefer punch over survivability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 If taking a mixed Order force, would the Grudgebound War Throng be a good way to include a hearty core of Duradin? The 50% immunity to battleshock combined with their ways to mitigate losses from it (longbeards, banners) and across the board reroll 1s to hit seems very strong on an Anvil force. Or, is the tax of an Unforged and so many units + the Battalion cost just not worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about IDK - 6 defensive eels(as one unit or 2x 3) and a soulscryer 380 points. Or swap the eels for Thralls, though they are less durable. If you don't need to appear on a board edge, then 6 offensive eels are 320 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK aren't a normal ally for Dispossessed so you won't have to worry about the point cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year a player ranked in the top 10 at some GTs using dispossessed with an allied celestant prime. They can drop in anywhere and have like 12" mvmt. That'll add some punch and mobility. I also second the Riggers. They are quick, lots of shots and good attack, 2 wounds, 4+ save. 9 Riggers is 18 wounds, 27 shots, 10 chainsaw attacks for 360 pts.

Cerlin Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I like the rigger or skyranger options. Ive also allied a steamtank for good results. Knight paladors are good for mobility and are pretty tough for a capping unit. Not sure if they are better than 6 riggers, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've asked before, but how do people feel about gyrobombers/copters for mobility capping units/MW output from bombs? I could see how they're frail, but 160 for 2 seems decent enough to fill out an army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crashnarf Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I ALWAYS take the Gyrobomber as an ally. He is fast, he can shoot, has a good save and many wounds and il cost only 80pts. He is also fun (ant THAT is important), that make him the mascot of my army. Surprisingly, he is also efficient with his bombs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furuzzolo Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Nope, I love my Dispossessed allegiance! Maybe one day some "Legions of Na--Sigmar" book will unite some factions and let me play a regular-duardin allegiance.
