Bretonians are sadly part of that group. It's also shocking to see Tomb Kings are now illegal. Sayl and Thamurkan's Horde is also on that list. Just for confirmation, the legion of azgorh has not been moved to legends? And I believe saw no point changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion of Azghor is still good and i don't see any point changes. They can ally with Chaos Gargants, Everchosen, Khorne, Monster of Chaos, Nurgle, Slaneesh, StD, Tzeench 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same question for Greenskinz and Gitmob Grots please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep adding more and more, and some time ago they actually introduced a new type of unit which made the older ones completely obsolete, all of this cuz they know that SM sell (to give you a better idea, SM have received more stuff and new kits than every single other faction combined together; actually I think they have twice all the others combined together). I don't know if Stormcast are for AoS as popular and representative as SM are for 40k, but they definitely wanted them to be, so it wouldn't be too odd if AoS 3.0 doubled down on SC vs someone. Stormcast lack the key structural element that Space Marines have which limit GW's incentive to push them as heavily. Stormcast is one army. Space Marines, because of chapters, is many different armies. When GW creates a new Space Marine unit, they can sell it to people who play Ultramines, Space Wolves, Blood Angels, etc., so there is a multiplication effect that isn't mirrored in Stormcast. I'm not necessarily willing to say this means we stand any chance of having a starter set without Stormcast, but it does seem to limit Stormcast releases mid-edition which gives space for a lot of other armies. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the release of the sacrosanct chamber, does it not feel like they’re moving in that direction? I could see one day the different chapters of stormcast be separate armies with different books, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW can literally sell the same new model to a dozen different Space Marine players. I don't see how the Stormcast chambers are shaping up in a way where they'd get that multiplication effect for a Stormcast model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schulzy Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Ok now with Indomitus out and sold out, let's hope we can get back to some AoS/Warcy news and not another 2 - 3 weeks of "now with Indomitus up for preorder let's explain even more about it every day for the next 3 weeks."

Imho, that's because all the subfaccions are in one book. Space Marines had been split in diferent battletomes and supplements because... financial and marketing reasons I would say. If SCE are going to be pushed in the same way, we could see a basic book with all generic SCE units, and then some supplements for all the Stormhosts. Hammers of Sigmar already have some unique units (Gavriel comes to my mind) and Anvils of Heldenhammer has one named character without unique model. But I don't think that there are enough SCE btw... Other armies can follow the same supplement-system (even in 40k), but because they are not space marines (and I mean, financial-wise, there is a bjg diference), they will just move on with a Battletome/ Codex for all subfaccions.

Given it will likely have Just a few warscrolls in it (I asssume) I am really interested in the coverage it gives to Destruction more generally. Could we finally get a map of Ghur? (Behemat lived in Ghyran though right? Will the book be focussed on the continuing story there?) Behemat himself was from Ghyran as was King Brodd but Destruction itself is more commonly linked with Ghur so who knows which Realm we will get a map of. I'm hoping it makes up for its Warscrolls and rules sections with tonnes of lore. 6 hours ago, Gaz Taylor said: No idea. It’s been very quiet but the whole release schedule has been turned upside down. I imagine it will be a one drop release though. I should hope it's a one drop release Haha if they try to spread it out? Come on GW. But I cannot wait until after Indomitus drops to find out more. 1 hour ago, Schulzy said: Ok now with Indomitus out and sold out, let's hope we can get back to some AoS/Warcy news and not another 2 - 3 weeks off "now with Indomitus up for preorder let's explain even more about it every day for the next 3 weeks." Where's my AoS 3.0... 😆 Unfortunately you may be waiting far longer. It's only going up for Pre Order today, first day of 2 weeks of, there will be more and more articles the following weeks and then once its released articles again for another. I'm not expecting anything AOS related till August at best I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indecisive Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 On the subject of Stormcast and space marine parallel-ing. Have they yet expanded on the chapter master equivalents anywhere? Lord Commander I think is the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, not all Destruction factions have to originate in Ghur, but the realm of Life? Specifically, the god-beast (or rough equivilent) from which the rest of the race was spawned comes from there? That raises some compelling questions. How influential is Life magic in the mega-gargant culture/physiology? Is it just fluff, or will it have effects on the tabletop? Will they be able to self heal? Certainly, over time they have branched out to other realms, but if Behemat is from the realm of Life, there really aught to be some sort of legacy handed down to the rest of the species. Some kind of regeneration or vitality. I don't want to set any expectations, but the possibilities are pretty compelling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of regeneration or vitality would be great from a lore point in that they take centuries to age perhaps and even better from a gameplay point as it would help with the small amount of units you can field and to help with ranged armies. Heres hoping the Gargant lore is deep as the Battletome will surely be the smallest released yet. I hope they go into the Gargant history, such as during the Age of Chaos when Nurgle invaded Ghyran and destroyed many of the Gargant tribes and forced them into the swamps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, these changes have been done for months now, right (for most of the armies at least)? So taking extra time to post a pdf with a list or whatever due to 40k... I get updating Azyr, but I hope they at least publish the changes asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
