So Zoats have been back and gone again and I missed them ☹️ At least it shows they still exist in the lore. Did they have any hints of the 'heralds of the Nids' when they were in Blackstone?

Don't get me wrong, these are lovely models, but I wish they either actually showed models from all their games, or truly commited and came clean that it's always gonna be necromunda models on mondays 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Stormcast heads have gone (no longer listed). I hope something like the dread Saurian, the Troggoth Hag and the Mournghul find their way to plastic I could see the Troggoth Hag being kept around in a spiritual sense. A reference in the book, maybe a trait or artefact to make a Dankhold Troggboss a *Moonclan wizard* or references her. "Hag's Eye Talisman" or something. You can already sorta do it. Dankhold Boss with the generic Spellbook artefact that makes anyone a wizard, Scrapskuttle's Arachnacauldron, and you have a discount Troggoth Hag. She couldn't cast any Gloomspite spells without the cauldron anyway due to keyword conflicts anyway, so it's pretty similar (but a lot cheaper/weaker).

In Blackstone it's revealed that they weren't "heralds of the Nids" in the old way of being Nid ambassadors, but refugees heralding an upcoming disaster. They were one of the first races to encounter the Nids and fled as refugees, trying to befriend others for sanctuary and warn them about the approaching doom. When they encountered humanity there was a psychic miscommunication, something like "[The Nids] are coming to destroy you, you will be destroyed." And humanity took that as the Zoats threatening them so they started killing Zoats. Now they live as isolationist nomads. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captaniser Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 13 battleforces for 40k now, not even 1 is a xenos box. And if the rumors are to be believed about the future of 40k, then it starting to look more and more like Horus Heresy 2.0 more than anything. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who just started a Stormcast army, this kind of stuff is what makes me glad Stormcast "flopped" as a main protagonist faction--at least, on the same tier as Space Marines. I remember when the Extremis Chamber had its own battletome and the designers were talking about Stormhosts getting their own books like Space Marine Chapters. For all the grief people give Stormcast for hogging releases, at least they have the decency to stay in new edition starters lol 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zoat alone can now set you back £200. Madness because I was just going to buy one and didn’t realise they’d stopped. The New Necromunda bug is great. Wish they'd do Scavvies and Ratskins, but more Xeno is great with me. Not to distract, I knew of the Lion courtesy of Valrak, but Sanguinius Doing a Voldemort truly is something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want people to be able to use their old armies if they wish, or to start new ones, or to add new miniatures to old armies – whatever they want. Does this means that tOW models releases will be knly for tOW and can't be used in AoS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marine battleforces recently are because they're trying to shift unsold stock. Notice how they're still not selling either. A lot of big 3rd party retailers haven't even gotten the 4 new Marine battleforces because the RG and IF ones aren't selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they did break up the parts of the army into separate stricter stormhosts. There are so many options that it is maddening trying to pick and choose units. Especially since there are enough units for each chamber to look and feel different. I'm curious to where people stand on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can see that at my local stores, they have sold well but there's still a lot left. A lot of people play Space Marines, but not enough to sell $200+ battleforces for every variation of Vanilla Marine, and GW seems to over-produce the boxes and unload them on small retailers. It felt excessive in 2021 or 2020 (can't remember which) where they had 2 Marine Battleforce boxes, and this holiday they have put out 6 (that I remember). Plus the boarding party box. Even with the largest fan-base, it's too many Marine boxes to sell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since there are enough units for each chamber to look and feel different. I'm curious to where people stand on this. One book, that specifically uses linear design and synergies to encourage building into one of the separate chambers. They've been moving away from linear design as a rule in aos 3, which is a huge mistake imo. Sure the buff stacking was a bit hard to balance at times but the alternative is that any book with more than like 15 warscrolls will be stuck with useless units that are just worse than their counterparts that do the same thing. They really threw the baby out with the bathwater with that design direction. Modular design has its place for sure, but so does linear design, and by all rights stormcast should heavily lean on linear design, both because of the sheer number of warscrolls and because its easier to listbuild in linear books and stormcast are supposed to be a beginner army. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
