Maogrim Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Depending on what the monsters like the sludgeraker and that other thing can do, it looks like Kruleboyz lists will be quite uniform: I'm with @NinthMusketeer and predict lots of Big Yeller gangs with Boltboyz, Skewers and Shamans. And while I really like that type of army it's also a shame that outright amazing models such as Gutrippaz, both Killabosses and the Murknob with banner feel so lackluster in comparison. But then again, there's still quite a lot that we don't know about Kruleboyz yet, even if there aren't any new models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That definitely feels like the way the wind is blowing but all it takes is a few Dirty tricks or core battalions with a Melee focus to completely change the balance.

Arzalyn Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Looks like we will have to wait another week (next Sunday will probably be our tome/models pre order announce), but on the bright side the article today say they have multiple models to reveal this week... Maybe we will get something? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombiepiratexxx Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 If they give us a Battleline Cavalry reveal, or even just another Orruk infantry unit I'll be stoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point if we got cavalry I doubt it would be battleline and if it is it will be conditional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0deb1ue Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I think at this point it would just be nice to get the book as getting tired of these really slow burn hype trains... really does the opposite for me. Maybe we get more miniatures but they need to get on with releasing this stuff!! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I recommend checking out my post if you are interested in my personal project I've made public. Includes many unit designs you could change to your needs if the info is not to your liking.

Neverchosen Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I know it will likely never happen but I am hoping for them to build on the Breaka-Boss on Mirebrute Troggoth and Hobgrots with a new unit. I personally would love a unit of regular sized Troggoth riders mounted by Hobgrots. I think it would nicely tie together some of the more disparate elements of the faction while also keeping in the themes and aesthetic established. We would get a second unit of Hobgrots, further evidence of Troggoths as beasts of burden for the faction, and potentially a intermediate species between the Sloggoth and Mirebrute Troggoth. If this happened then the lesser Gnashtooth riders could be Orruks, allowing people to build a mixed Kruelboyz army with monsters and goblins or a more Orruk heavy list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombiepiratexxx Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Anyone else feel like we've been waiting for an age for Battletomes? I don't know what Covid is still doing to the release times but it seems like this has been a huge wait since Dominion came out. Might just be me being impatient but I'm really eager to get my hands on the Battletome. Hopefully Warclans will be more like Codex Space Marines and less like Codex Necrons. First books in a new edition can be dicey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First books in a new edition can be dicey. I feel you. I don't really have any experience on how GW usually handles new armies and their release. But I preordered Domimion on the 19th of June. That's two months now, and we don't even have an actual date for preordering the battletome. So it'll be closer to three months before we get complete rules to play Kruleboyz effectively.

papary Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 The hype is dying down for me too, I was really looking forward to the new bits but the long wait is killing that now. I know I’ll end up buying stuff when it’s released but I’m still a little offput by the limited info we have had. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing you want is to be a fair and balanced book at the beginning of an edition... you will just get overrun by the creep.. and that creep is guaranteed as it's how they push models. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean as much as I agree with this, even if we got something good it'd still be over run. For a while nurgle was strong in 40k now its starting to fall behind as well. honestly with power creep even if we got a strong book the rest would just be stronger. id honestly say we will probably not remain much above upper mid tier for long. we are not the next ko, dot, or lrl or anything top tier. I imagine we will be strong enough to start with then slowly make our way back down to mid tier. and we should be happy if we stay there and dont go lower. honestly this will end as a narrative army regardless of strength of tome at release cause we are a starting army. this is a bad thing though. its fine to be narrative in AoS. our tournaments are not as important to gw as 40k as such having a competitive army is more or less a bragging right over anything else. play the game to enjoy the game and don't worry about the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately many people are both on unstable ground for certainty out of their investments to GW and also unwilling or unable to create ideas and share thoughts to make improvements of their own if their trust cannot be earned by GW. Peoples own enjoyment and self respect only too often forgotten in times of uncertainty. Shouldn't blame others on managing expectations more than your own. We've all got our own views on how the game should be, its always going round and round here on this forum, this isn't the place for this and we have more threads here and ideas in everyone's heads to make new ones. I for one have been trying to change my own views and expectations out of the hobby and beyond with warhammer, its not easy, but I feel I've been somewhat more satisfied with the progress.

I do like having a reasonable chance of a decent game and have already been burned by investing in gloomspite. They have great models but their rules are so bad that you eventually notice how hard it is to win vs other armies. Literally all armies are narrative but it can be immersion breaking when all your epically described things are thr very opposite in practice. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
