Cèsar de Quart Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Considering the Freeguild General is unavailable, either we'll get a repackaged general similar to the four wizards box, or we'll get (hopefully) a new freeguild general with more options (or, a man can hope, different poses than just "charge!" and "look here, men!"

The Empire Captain is the poorest excuse of a General they could have chosen. He's not doing anything a General should be doing. Not leading, strategizing, communicating with other divisions, or other sensible stuff. He's attacking, with a melee weapon, without a shield. Every Greatsworder is a better General than the Empire Captain. The sergeants of the guards are better Generals than the Empire captain if outfitted correctly. The Steam Tank captain is a better General, even the Sharpshooter has the sense not to want to be in melee.

Jipaah Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Hey people in the UK?! Who has seen or heard about the Mortal Realms subscription service they have started testing over the pond. Want to see what people are thinking of it, it'll be a long time before it's down in Australia but I wanted to find out what others knew.

Depends on if you have those miniatures or need few more or not. The 40k service came out with around 40% discount that is a good service if you needed or were interested in those things. I subscribed in the hope to get good new scenery and few more models for my Nighthaunt army, maybe some contrast paints. If I don’t like it I’ll stop but the first 7 releases are good (5th is free, 1st and 2nd discounted) and that covers 2 months (they start delivery within the next 28 days).

Overread Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) I'm tempted by it but it works out at around £30 each month. Now granted you get 4 issues for that and a good chunk of models so its a good deal; but in the end I just feel like that's a bit too much disposable income for me at present to whisk away on two armies I don't "really" want. Esp since for just shy of 2 months subscription I can pick up a Warcry box of terrain features. I think for beginners, for those new to the hobby and for those who want stormcast and/or nighthaunt armies its a great deal and worth looking into!

Overread Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 A load of shadpsire warbands just went off sale on the GW store en-mass. This bodes badly for Underworlds if GW isn't re-releasing them in some form since surely part of the attraction was getting the warband for "your army". It also bodes bad for Battletomes because it suggests that next weeks pre-order hint might well be the new Shadspire launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 2 minutes ago, michu said: @Overread You can still buy them, just without WHU content. Aye but you can't use them in WHU without the cards for the units at least. It makes me think that GW might be launching a combined card pack; a single purchase that has all the cards in one box (including the character cards for the units). That would be a smart move as it also cleans up the whole "gotta get em all" issue because of how GW put universal cards into specific character packs.

michu Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 No, I thinks it's rather a rotation like in MtG. With Beastgrave we would have, like, 24 warbands? WHU got a little too big for beginner lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I can see them rotation the core cards but not the warbands. MTG can get away rotating a lot of its cards because in the end when you buy a card its ready to use. For Underworlds those models require prep and painting. Furthermore GW can expect a Skaven player to buy the Skaven Underworld models and possibly only those models. So it wouldn't make sense to retire whole races from the game. The only faction that could do that is stormcast becaue they've had several releases - all the others have only one (save I think Khorne got two? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: And maneaters! See now the fact that it's just maneaters and firebelly is curious. I'd like to take it as reassurance that they're staying but then as part of Forbidden Power this feels more closely tied to the mercenary company in the GHB. It is probably the longest and most consistent bit of fiction featuring ogres and especially ogre dialogue that AoS has seen so far.

WHU got a little too big for beginner lately. Yeah, I remember seeing a random rumor in the last few weeks that GW was getting ready to axe the first season warbands. It makes a certain amount of sense, not just because of bloat but also option/power creep and the constraints of trying to continually refresh and innovate the game while also trying to keep first iteration warbands competitive. At a certain point the oldest warbands either need a complete refresh (which would require new cards at minimum) or retirement. I don't think it was a huge problem in season 2, but Beastgrave may be another big jump in mechanics.

Overread Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 This is clearly tied to the mercenaries in Forbidden Powers - which is shaky protection as the Dwarves saw with the loss of their Cannon. Although the idea of dwarven Cannon is something that I think we will see again released by GW one day we've no date not expectation of having them come back soon. That is unless GW was repackaging them into a multi-gun box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The the service rep specifically saying to stay tuned to the community site for rereleased models plus the fact the wizards weren't put on last chance to buy with the other kits axed ahead of Cities of Sigmar could suggest the wizards will be coming back in a new box with the book's release. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this portends the removal of season one content from the game, my purchases for Underworlds are done. Full stop. I've purchased quite literally every single product in the line (and in many cases two copies so that my gf and I each had access to the cards for our basement games). To think that a third of it (once season 3 hits) will be dead only about a year after release is awful. I don't buy pricey GW product with the expectation of a 12 month shelf life. I expect many, many years, if not a decade or more, of life. Edited September 2, 2019 by Sleboda 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear, though it shouldn't really be a surprise considering that unlike all the other kits that went on LCTB, they had already been repackaged for AoS. My suspicion is that they're being repackaged (again) to remove the points cost from the back of the current box. Can't think of any other current kit with the same issue. I can see the rationale for why they did this at the time, with that wave of allied detachment boxes, but it was always going to come back and bite them.
