Aegisgrimm Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) I'm making sure I buy a copy of the Gitmob Shaman that is still being sold for my skirmish games, as my Warboss needs a pet 'caster, and who easier to push around than a gobbo?

Lousy Beatnik Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Doom Divers are such a brilliantly "Warhammer" image, I'd be surprised if we didn't see them back. An update, perhaps fired from grot flying ships would be awesome 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the ones from 6th - 8th edition Warhammer when they were fairly destructive (especially in 8th edition). I never found the AoS warscroll to be very enticing to use.

GeneralZero Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I was excited first by new gobos,to revive my army in AoS but seeing that half of it has just vanished made me rethink and just conclude to a "PASS" for me. (But I admit that some of the minis are nice) It is such a bad move (and awful signal for future release) from GW. Now, in AoS, I'm just waiting for Darkoath. And maybe in the future, I'll see what they do with green skins (gobs and orcs) . Maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious as to half of which just vanished, as the Gloomspite Battletome is an expansion of Moonclan, Spiderfang and Troggoth allegiances the only model I know to be cut out of the rules would be the Sourbreath Troggoths. With Gitmob going is is understandable that people would be upset, but they were never billed as being part of Gloomspite as to be a mislead in that regard. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Don't worry, as an old player in this game (30+y of GW) , I understand their move in a business point of view. It is just unfortunate. The old minis were nice and fun. I'll move on. I have so many box to assemble and paint already ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as there is a shadespire gang for KO coming and the rumour that we will see new battletomes and models for some of the older AoS forces, to bring them in to line with the recent releases, so I wouldn't be surprised too see a huge KO update some time in the next 12 months. They are a brand new army that have been heavily included in all the fluff, if they had no intention of updating them we wouldn't have heard much about them in the past 12 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Mackay Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 in regards to the rumour of updated battletomes coming for older 1st edition books, why are people expecting Kharadron Overlords to be one of them? im aware people think theyre bad right now, but as that is a newer book with allegience abillities etc i wouldnt expect to see them getting anything at the moment. the books i would expect to be updated are those 1st edition books without alleigence abilities/ghb alleigence abilities such as Everchosen (basically confirmed due to Darkoath), Flesh-Eater Courts (again, basically confirmed with Carrion Empire), Fyreslayers, Skaven Pestilens (beasts of chaos type Skaven book), Ironjawz. Slaanesh are basically confirmed to get a book with new models and id say at this point Khorne needs a new book due to the scattered rules and faq/erratas making the current book almost useless (daemon warscrolls at least are due to be updated to match the new rules from Wrath & Rapture-all the Hell Blade weapons) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 @Joseph Mackay I think KO are highly ranked in peoples desires to have new Battletome because whilst they are not super old they do have some issues. Furthermore they lack any magical ability so the whole Endless spell system is closed off to them at present. Of course this could be resolved with a single duel mage kit release or something like that or adapting existing rules. There is no denying that al ot of older factions that got books before 2.0, do need a clean up. That said an army with a Battletome at least is SAFE in terms of it being very unlikely GW will retire the army or even models within it. There are a lot more armies that are not "SAFE" at present which GW to address that. Last thing we want is for AoS to limp on with loads of confusing half and semi factions kicking around - it confuses old players and its even more confusing for new players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Mackay Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 not every faction needs to, or should have access to magic and endless spells though Kharadron Overlords, Dispossessed, Fyreslayers, Khorne (except for Archaon) all lack magic without allies and none of them really should have magic. instead they should have ways of dealing with magic (dispossessed banners ignoring spells for example) its the same with shooting, not every army has access to it, and some just shouldnt 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RexHavoc Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Ko might not get access to magic as we currently see it, but they are one of the main factions of AoS with out endless spells or a terrain feature. You can all but guarantee that Stormcast will get a terrain feature as soon as they get their next update. You dont have to need to give KO magic for them to have endless spells. They could tap into magical energies for the realms, or GW could use this a chance to expand endless spells from just magic to other similar ideas. They could get fuel supplies, aether gold deposits or defence turrets that all offer bonuses. The biggest issue AoS has right now is that the current model of releases seems to have gone down rather well with the community, yet some of the more recent armies which are quite popular, DoK, KO, BCR...are recent enough releases that a a sudden reprint of the battletomes would cause as stir that they were returning to the sort of release cycle of the last couple of editions (something they seemed to want to do away with with AoS) but just that bit too old to have gotten the new stuff like the terrain and spells. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
