demonlizardfromouterspace Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) In the faction focus articles the Beastmen were already summarized as Beasts of Chaos. I bet Slaves to Darkness and Everchosen will therefore get a Battletome together, the same for all aelven factions of the World-that-was.

GeneralZero Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 It is clear that we will have some refresh of old armies like the recent beast of chaos: the danse started with the huge succes of Legion of Nagash which made new with old stuff with talent. Second point is that they (pretty much) all need a AoS 2 refresh , due essentially to magic and summon, with at some point some new endless spells. All in all, LoN soup armies will be on the go soon or later : waiting the Dispossesed one, the greenz one, the skaven one, the cities one(humans) etc... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only hope! Just think of the possibilities, different holds having different abilities like the great frays, chambers, having rules for tunneling, different runes to take, just think of all the possibilities. I kinda hope they get their own separate battletome. and then the humans getting a cities of sigmar book with the special ability to take some extra races as well.

I donno about an aelven bundle. With all the hints about the interactions of light and shadow and animosity between the new aelvens and Slaanesh I think we're going to get new Slaanesh and at least one or two new aelf factions that all play off each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Dear GW - please give us at least 3 months warning before announcing a new Skaven Battletome - this should give us time to batten down the forums from insane chittering and skittering and mad crazed gnawing at threads that overly excited skaven players are likely to experience 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christophe Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Interesting how the first Underworld warbands were mini AoS units, with various weapons to personalise the different soldier and their (sexy) champion. Easy to put a AoS warscroll on that. But now we got a proper hero (wizard except KO) and often soldiers from various units. Much better to flesh out at faction, but super tricky to make a warscroll… Maybe a wizz and his bodyguards ? or no warscroll ? (NB, as a non competitive player I love to add those warbands to my AoS armies) PS : the 2 factions from the box set seem designed in a conservative way, like Shadespire warbands. They were probably the first to be designed. Possibly because they wanted the basic guys to complete the Soul Wars unit, or maybe for fluff reasons, like a banshee will probably not hang out with a revenant, a reaper and a stalker... ). Pity, 2 evocators, with swords, is boring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravinsild Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 So today I built a vampire lord (the female one made of resin) is it was pretty terrible. This would be the longest shot in the Dark ever made... but does anyone know if or when they might ever completely move away from resin or is it a thing to stay forever? My Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut is resin too... I’ve actually got quite a few resin models and while I’m more used to it now I still hate it. Plastic is so much better. 15+ years all factions and every unit will be 100% plastic or the day will never come? Would they sooner just put units out of action than make a new model for them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 There's no way to guess but yes GW will one day fully move away from finecast. The issue is that hero model sell slower than troops so it takes longer for the mould to wear out - this is even wore when its an unpopular material which results in even slower sale of models. Also its important to remember that retooling for plastic requires starting from the ground up. It will happen one day, but not for some time yet.

Yeah, while they could pretty directly move models from metal to resin because the processes are more similar(I seem to recall reading that the reason some fincecast models were so bad is that they were using mostly worn out moulds that were used for metal previously), so they could do that switch without as much work, but injection molded plastic is such a different process. While I do prefer modern plastics, GW has gotten really good at plastic, I don't mind resin that much, especially if it's the later designed for resin miniatures(not essentially recasts of older metal miniatures) or ForgeWorld. It's one of those weird situations where all the awful things people say about Finecast and all the good things GW advertised about Finecast are both true. There are some models that have been really screwed up my Finecast, but at the same time, when they do come out good, they come out really really good. I will say that I really don't like metal though. Heavy, harder to clean up(need to do some serious filing of spurs and can't use a hobby knife), and they always chip when they fall over. I've never had a plastic or resin model chip. Edited September 21, 2018 by bsharitt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
