    Ahh ok it was GHB releases. Weren't BCR Stonehorns awesome at launch? And then got hit by the nerfbat?

    I think it maybe moreso they got better in figuring out what works and what doesn't work in AoS. After all DoK and IDK were basically made for a seamless transition 2.0. Meanwhile Ironjawz were among one of the first AoS factions and like many other first factions have some awkward list building (aka very limited options). That is not to say though they aren't powerful. DoK snakes will mess you up good!

    IDK aren't a normal ally for Dispossessed so you won't have to worry about the point cap.

    "Yea bro, we lift!"?

    It still really confuses me why Soulblight in LoN exists when they also made the Vampire-Centric Legion of Blood (yes I know they're 2 different allegiances, with soulblight giving blood knight battleline, but why didn't they just combined them?). Hopefully they learned their lesson and don't have 2 similarly themed allegiances (like Warherd vs Bloodfeast Gorgers or something).

    Unfortunately look who gets to be part of warhammer legends. As for the KO/Fyreslayer issue, well imo the main problem is that they are really static in their army composition (one battleline for KO doesn't help). I'm all for keeping legacy armies around, heck I'm so stoked that I'm going to preorder Beasts of Chaos, but I think there needs to be more AoS introduced factions that get a second book that isn't Stormcast Eternals or Khorne (who are probably getting new plastics next year). There needs to be a confidence boost that doesn't leave these armies in the dark for 3 or more years. Yes I know thats how GW usually does it, I've been around since 2008 so I know usually you get a book, then have to twiddle your thumbs for the next 3-5 years (unless you're Bretonnia which meant never). Even "technically Legacy but now are AOS factions" could really use a second book like Beastclaw Raiders to show "don't worry, we didn't give you a half baked battletome only to drop you like a rock". Either that or they should really shake up next years GHB. I'm surprised that GW is so afraid to break all the silly faction keywords they imprisoned themselves with since the rocky launch of AOS. Is it really that mind shattering to go "hey maybe lion rangers should be with someone else like SHA"? Or "ok Dispossessed can have their Gyrocopters/Bombers back."

    Maybe change his Rotaxes from being a multiwound unit finisher to what the Blightkings have (turning his hits into D6)? That'll certainly give him a lot more punch.
  8. kenshin620
    Well if I were to change the Maggotlords other than point reductions, I think 1. The pox maggoths become daemons, giving Daemon Keywords and Disgustingly Resilient 2. Bloab should be able to cast 2 spells 3. Maybe Morbidex Twiceborn makes Nurglings Battleline? Would make Menagerie lists more interesting. I think the loss of a general trait balances it out.

    While I like classic dwarfs, I would actually go "really? ?" if they somehow announced a dispossessed update when they already introduced 2 new dwarf factions that also desperately need updates. Maybe after Fyreslayer and Kharadron 2.0 would they update dispossessed. And also Chaos Dwarf update.

    It's not completely 100% up to date with 2.0, but I like to use 1D4chan (search age of sigmar/tactics for the rules, otherwise you'll get the fluff pages). It is a wiki though so anyone can edit, plus many entries are possibly biased towards one persons experience rather than an amalgamation of data. But other than that it gives a good overview of all sorts of profiles.
  11. kenshin620
    Well also if they were daemons...they would also get DR! That would really help them and their "please shoot me" sign!
  12. kenshin620
    One big problem about Nurgle Wizards in general is the lack of casting help, outside of the daemon item. Having a 260pt model that can only cast one spell, and most likely his signature spell, is not a fun time with the huge unbind range. I think they should count the Maggot Lords as Daemons to at least give some more synergies. One of them is even half daemon! And another is BFFs with Nurglings! Just Retcon the maggot beasts as daemons, no one will notice.

    Makes me wish Assassins were still Khaine worshipers so could be in the dang book/allegiance! ?
  14. kenshin620
    The beast really came together! The paint job looks excellent.
  15. kenshin620
    Well the Warherds collecting box got discontinued, and that did not have a plastic hero (well I forgot it technically was not Start Collecting). At the very least being that back. Heck they STILL have Start Collecting Malignants despite Malignants not being an army, and also not having a legal list for LoN or Nighthaunt! edited for clarification on the warherd box.
  16. kenshin620
    The fact that they're willing to show off sets they're not planning on releasing for a while, like Rogue Trader, while Beasts came out of nowhere to me says no new models other than the possibility of Malagor getting his rules back. Hopefully though they bring back Start Collecting boxes.
  17. kenshin620
    Well I was thinking of the "just the miniatures" box. Thats like an extra $5 off right? So its like 10 for a banshee, 15 for 6 alternative chainrasps. Ehh hopefully. So far the shade spire units haven't been much other than "point fillers". It would have been more interesting if they were unit upgrades so they weren't so puny.
  18. kenshin620
    Isn't nice being the SCE where you always get more Shadespire warbands? ?
  19. kenshin620
    Well to be fair some of the other Shadespire bands aren't too different from their parent unit. Like the Farstriders and Vanguard Hunters. Other than the leader with the Bird, the other two I could probably not tell them apart from the normal vanguard hunter kit. Also assuming this set is the same price as other shadespire kits, now theres affordable Chainrasps without buying tempest of souls/souls wars!
  20. kenshin620
    Speaking of ghosts popping up, the new shadespire band looks pretty ghaslty! The one thats basically hanging is pretty chilly!
  21. kenshin620
    Speaking of alternative minis, norba seems to now have good-faction dwarfs including "totally not" irondrakes. They don't look as substantial as the current dispossessed line but not bad for 12 euros for 10.
  22. kenshin620
    A weird thought came to me, are Chaos Spawn still going to be in? Sure they may not be the most beloved unit for beasts, but they have also always been there even in the beastmen shift.
  23. kenshin620
    Unfortunately they seem content with the finecast shaggoth, unless they make Kholek a completely different kit.
  24. kenshin620
    At the very least they could give Malagor his name back, they still sell him! And if khorne can have all his dudes, including scyla, why not the beasts. Seriously who uses scyla?!
  25. kenshin620
    Technically I believe you can run understrengthed units, people did it all the time to match the holy numbers for the Everchosen Battalions like 14 chaos warriors. So if you paid the points for 6 plague drones, you can run them as 4 or 5 if you really wanted to. But if you took 7, you'll have to pay for 9 drones.
