They are old for ages (since at least 6th ED). Didn't state troops get updated on 2012? Still old but 8th Ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Misfire Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 So from this photo can we infer that Freeguild Guard and Handgunners/Crossbowmen are likely to stay around? Starting to worry about the Freeguild Archers now as they're the nicest models in the range and the last great Perry twins plastic kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're older than the plastic Wizards and Flagellants. Looking at the 7th edition book, it was interesting to see how much of the line was still metal. Greatswords and Archers (ironically, though they are suppose to fit the Huntsmen unit I think) were 8th.

AthelLoren Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I'm hoping that the Wanderers get a fair treatment. I see them in the picture underneath the Battletome: So, I hope athat this gives us good treatment within the Living City allegiance. Could bring us higher in the Competitive chain, and allow me to field my mixed collection of Sylvaneth, Wanderers, Free Peoples, and Stormcast coherently.

DatHomieSilverSurfer Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 As a long time Skaven only player, I've been really wanting to start an order army and couldn't decide between dispossessed and free peoples. I guess it's time to start collecting some Elves, Dwarfs, and Empire boyz. Any suggestions on who I should grab first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one can tell you what the new rules are going to be - for all we know an allied Devoted of Sigmar and Wanderers list is going to be game-breaking and dominating tournaments this time next year - but you know whether you like the norse aesthetic of the dwarves, the semi-historical humans with their steampunk quirks, or the high fantasy sharp, clean lines and robes of the elves.

A weeks worth of graphic design and send it to the cardboard box printer.... The real limitations on GW are plastic model production. I very much believe this is driving all of their business decisions for now. Old kits are less sprue efficient (more sprues, less boxes per hour on their very taxed production lines). Also consider there is a very big push to make the game simpler and more new player friendly by making sure you can buy a box and then play it in the battletome as is, with warscroll rules for loadout match what is in a box. A box of dwarf warriors has 16, but the unit requires multiples of 10. That is problematic. Not a death sentence, but does move it closer in my opinion. Third thing against dwarf warriors is that they are kind of hordey for AoS, where they probably already have more hordes than they want, and the models are smaller in scale than most other dwarves in the mortal realms. the poses are too rank and file. Basically nothing about current disposessed warrior models match GWs current buisness strategy or what they want this game to be. I am not saying they will kill them, I think it's possible. And I think if you are looking for which units are getting cut, these are the sorts of things to look for (beyond "is it still being sold", those are obvious, but i think the cuts will be bigger... look at greenskinz) By virtue of being a business in the game of making money, they should expand production capabilities to meet demand. Where have you heard their production lines are taxed and at capacity? can you cite that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentinelGuy Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I don't think the Spireguard will disappear, simply because they are mentioned so much in the Tempest's Eye fluff already that it would be weird to see them dropped now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fluff also keeps mentioning orruks and how Ironjawz are bigger and meaner than "normal" orruks and Boneslippterz are crazier orruks. But I think "normal" orruks don't exist anymore gamewise.

All models of the Greenskinz faction are no longer available, and there is 0 mentioning of them in the upcoming Orruk Warclan battletome. A bit ironic as the greenskin warboss with warbanner is a very popular support ally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
