bsharitt Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/ENG_HEROES_JULY.pdf Looks like the current batch of build to order isn't bringing any full armies back at the moment, just bringing the old heroes back for compendium/open play. I've not cross referenced it, but it's a lot list and I suspect it's probably all the characters that were removed from the compendiums last year.

bsharitt Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Actually on further investigation, it looks like it's the heroes of the Orcs, Ogre, Tomb Kings and Vampire Counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michu Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 They don't have point values, this units are only for open play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Scribe Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Well that at least saves me some money in ordering them then. Good thing I checked this thread out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamopower Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Looks fun, especially Gringor looks suitably imposing. Hopefully we'll get more scrolls for the actual armies soon. I have assorted collection of wood elves that would be good fit for this kind of gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you have TK army it will be open play only too, when they'll make more made-to-order units. So if you wanted to buy Settra or Khalida, then you could do that for completing collection. Or if you're O&G player you could use Gorbad as regular warboss. It's a beautiful miniature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skabnoze Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 It is interesting that they did not put the Grimgor miniature onto the Made to Order release announcement for this weekend. GW still sells a lot of the old Orc & Goblin special character models under generic names. Azhag is the current resin warboss on Wyvern miniature. Wurrzag was altered into the Wurrgog Prophet. Skarsnik is the Grot Warboss with Giant Cave Squig The ones they dumped was Gorbad Ironclaw, Grimgor, and Grom. I am so very happy to see them making Gorbad Ironclaw available again. That miniature was pretty outstanding and I figured since he was one of the newest sculpted characters to the range that he would be around for a while. I'll be using him as a Greenskin Warboss with Banner on a Boar, and I will probably buy 3-4 of them. I have been eyeing him on ebay for the last couple of months, but he regularly resells for over $100. It seems strange that they are not putting the Grimgor model back out though. He makes an excellent unit leader for an Ardboyz unit. If they ever make an Ardboyz champion then his model would work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 You could be onto something... Some rumours say about small wave of new IJ models next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michu Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Yes, I mean that they could bring Grimgor as Made-to-Order along with new IJ units. And it could be then used as unit leader for ardboyz (or some new kind of lesser warboss). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izotzuhure Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Can you still play them using compendium points as their generic counterparts? Grom the Paunch as Gitboss on Wolf Chariot, Greasus Goldtooth as Overtyrant or Khalida as Tomb Queen, for example? The Compendiums site has been updated with the new edition fluff and the same goes to the Warscroll Builder. Just wondering as they are no longer on the GH.

I think Zacharias is the only that can't be played since he doesn't an equivalent warscroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Use him as Vampire lord on Zombie Dragon. Just use proper base an make him stand on big rock to make him have similar size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skabnoze Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Boss on a chariot is not in Gitmob it is in Orcs & Goblins - which is no longer in the GHB. The only hero that Gitmob has is the shaman. So Grom effectively has no equivalent warscroll anymore. I’ll still pick up another copy of his model from this release though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
