Carnith Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Spireguard are likely to be dropped. Since they were only found in plastics via Spire of Dawn... a box set no longer sold, and that had sprues that were mixed with Skaven. It is also for this reason Skaven lost the poison Wind Mortar, a plastic model. Anything that came out of that box set and can only be gotten from the box set are likely dead.

Well please link me then greenskinz models on the GW webstore, or where they have presence in the upcoming Orruk Warclan book. Keep in mind Books are printed months in advance, so they may have printed GHB 2019 and then 1-2 months later killed off Greenskinz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they have points and are allies in the Gloomspite Gitz battletome. I can only assume that, unless we hear otherwise, this year will be their last - in matched play at least.

Chickenbits Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 So what do you guys think about the mentioned "Greywater artillery train"? I hope it lets you mix and match freely. I have 3 Helstorms and a tank, will be pretty bummed if I need to get more stuff (other than a probable engineer-type hero). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine many old battalions getting reworked. Most old order battalions can be summed up as "have 1 of every unit". Like Ironweld's battalion would be very useful if it was like 3-4 of ANY artillery plus engineer, rather than shoehorn in every single piece . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I'm hoping the artillery train will be like. Note that it has a brand new name (Greywater being included) so I hope they rework it from the ground-up.

A bit ironic as the greenskin warboss with warbanner is a very popular support ally. Well I mean with a bit of luck, they may have changed the keyword of a few greenskinz units to Ironjaws. I mean I could easily imagine a well cheaper Ork Boss that’s keeping the tide somewhat in order. If we already have a megaboss, then there’s literally the need of a nothing special at all boss.

There aren't any Greenskinz units or characters bar warbosses mounted on things and holding banners that couldn't be used as their immediate Bonesplitters counterparts. Anyway, this is an Order thread. Orcs pls go 😊 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyriakin Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) I am trying to port across everything from Kislev into a counts as Cities of Sigmar army, but am stuck on Horse Archers. I am not too familiar with some of the Order factions. Is there bow cavalry anywhere? (if not, I can still just make them Outriders/Pistoliers). Also, what is there in the way of mounted wizards (Katarin/horse) and mounted warlords (Boris/bear) remaining within Order? I believe the Freeguild General can still be taken on a Warhorse, but am worried about basing. Edited July 22, 2019 by Kyriakin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great kit Btw and if you add a human head and you got an easy conversion . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep a horse-mounted Katarin with a unit, and they look like wizards well enough (Sisters are a wizard), their bows are not perfect analogues of the javelins, but it's the best I could come up with. Actually, Katarin in a sled with four horses or deer pulling it that are mounted with her handmaidens sounds like an awesome representation for her, and an interesting way to portray Sisters of the Thorn. Others might be Outriders or Pistoleers, I would accept that without issue. I do not think the mounted General is going to go, it's displayed in the case where the Free Cities are. Otherwise just increase the size of the bear, give it wings, and use it as Freeguild General on Griffin (similarely, you could make Katarin a Battlemage on Griffin, Luminarch or Celestial Hurricanum) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could mean they are being removed, but it probably just means they are finally being reboxed with new art and round bases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circus of Paint Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'm looking forward to the upcoming Battletome - I've always had an interest in the idea of Anvilgard and I do have some Scourge Privateer bits lying around somewhere...

michu Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 For all Spire of Dawn Swifthawk owners - if our units won't survive (and it's very possible) you can use your models as : Spireguard - Freeguild Guard with spears Swordmasters - Freeguild Guard with swords * High Warden - Freeguild General on Griffon Archmage - Battle Wizard * Reavers - Pistoliers (I excluded Outriders as they are armed with Blunderbusses and I think their damage output is too big for bows, pistols are better for that) * - units that could survive as they currently still have models 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentinelGuy Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) I'm starting to wonder if GW made a mistake when they introduced the keywords to units. Things would be so much easier if instead of using aelves and humans they'd just used a generic free peoples tag and had generic units. People could play silver helms, knightly orders, kislevite lancers as a single cavalry type, high elf archers and spearmen would be playable again etc. I know we can just pretend and use what we like, but having it officially set out would be nice and stops those gamers who take offence at people using older minis.

Gaz Taylor Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 +++ Mod Hat On +++ Just a gentle nudge folks but leave talk of greenskins out of this topic please. Had a few reports about it but rather than purge the comments out, I’ve left them so things don’t get derailed. Again keep to Cities of Sigmar please 😉 +++ Mod Hat Off +++ Although no new models, this is quite exciting release and I know Sam is quite passionate about the cities. Should be a interesting army to play 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Televiper11 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I recently acquired a Steam Tank, 1K Dispo, & 1K Swifthawks so I am excited for this tome. Hopefully the Swifts don't get squatted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
