  1. New preview up. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/09/02/monsters-mercenaries-awesomeness-for-everyone/ Man they went crazy with the allies/mercenaries. FIFTY to choose from (examples include Skullgrinder, Grey Seer, Bray Shaman, every member of the Gobbapalooza)! But for non campaign games (so matched/open), you only get 1 to balance it out. As for monsters it appears to primarily (if not only) campaign based, with warbands embarking on hunting quests kind of like Norsca in total war.
  2. Since GW already gave us the Bad Moon ES, the Evil Sun is the next logical evolution!
  3. I love me some thunderscorne! Too bad GW doesn't really feel like updating the official shaggoth, it doesn't even look right with the modern ogors (like the T Rex fore legs on the dragon part!) So it's always good to see 3rd parties pick up the slack (especially when you need a good Kholek stand in!)
  4. That lines the problem though, there are many interpretations on what that means. Should it be from where their head is currently facing? Or their torso? What if they look like they're looking behind? Theres a reason why True Line of Sight was loathed in warhammer, especially when it massively interfered with modeling, for example crouching or crawling models. I think to solve that, do a Warmahordes (or a more modern example, X Wing) and clearly define on the base the front of the model, then use that reference point to create facing arcs.
  5. I do sort of agree it seems a tad early to have extra warcry stuff, I mean people are still trying to figure out the game methinks! Either that or GW got PTSD from the Necromunda drip feed strategy! Heck even Imperial Aeronautica immediately released a campaign book with extra rules. (plus seems odd they JUST announced this book, yet the 2 upcoming "faction reshuffle" AoS Battletomes are still nowhere to be seen) But it is good they are vested in warcry. I also wonder if the upcoming Warcry event at warhammer world will include warcry announcements.
  6. Oh yea, I guess it is actually Tyranids (especially dem Carapaces) + Necrons.
  7. So basically Fantasy Necrons! (Well in a sense they're constructs, rather than revived.)
  8. Huh how interesting, so theres new game called Conquest Last Argument of Kings and they got dwarfs on the way. One of which is a regiment called Flame Berserkers which are dwarfs...on fire. (though if I'm honest they look like you could use them as chaos dwarfs rather than fyreslayers)
  9. Well Perry makes historicals which have much more reasonable sized proportions, which do tend to look a tad small for warhammer. Though it's much less noticeable if you don't mix in. Though they don't have Dark Age/Early Medieval minis anyways so thats moot for the OP. That'd be the likes of Victrix (they have some really nice looking vikings), Warlord, Conquest, or Gripping Beast for plastics. Then theres dozens of metal makers. Though most as mentioned won't be as chunky/heroic as warhammer. I suppose if you don't mind monopose, Blood Rage board game minis might work. I think someone on TGA uses them.
  10. Probably the closest you'll get is Mierce Miniatures. Their stuff should be near warhammer scale. For example their infantry come supplied with 30mm bases.
  11. Been itching to try out Bonesplitterz. It's great you get so much out of a single box, essentially you can make nearly any combination of warband you can think of outside of Totem spam (which you can easily fix with conversions)
  12. I imagine it is similar to other combat based point generations like getting x units in combat, kill heroes/monsters, etc.
  13. No matched played points means no matched play.
  14. Well the latter issue can be another example of "The Warhammer Community Site being an glorified fan site", no offense to the lovely people behind the Warhammer Community. But they simply do not have access to the actual inner workings of Games Workshop. Much like Greenskinz. The Community posted about how awesome the Greenskin Warboss is as a support piece for Ironjawz or Bonespitterz, and then the greenskinz went OOP 1 month later. Well it's economics, to gw anyways. It's like complaining to Blizzard why they don't have anything for Starcraft as they make another Hearthstone or Overwatch update.
  15. Well a few are decently new like the Skycutter Chariot or the War Altar of Sgimar
  16. 40k also hasn't been killed off for 50k, unless you count original rogue trader.
  17. I think 3rd parties have sellable stock assuming they said they had the stock. Still plenty of Start Collecting Greenskinz at msrp+discount for example.
  18. Not sure if this means too much but the Beast Grave novel has a Branchwraith as one of the main characters. Which is strange because the Beast Grave game has these new Kurnothi beings which people assume are new Wanderers.
  19. As far as I can tell it's still pretty valid. Yes theres the slaanesh argument but very interesting how slaanesh is 100% daemon update that fits with 40k, compared to all other chaos god releases. And Emperor's Children dont even have a book yet! Unless Gutbusters beats out Everchosen for new units, I'm still sticking with it.
  20. It's the Malign Portents theory that I am heavily subscribed to. I'm surprised people still doubt it, You didn't get a MP Herald? No big unit expansion for now. Except Slaanesh but he doesnt count because hes also 100% compatible with 40k. SCE, Nighthaunt, Gloomspite Gitz, and soon to be Everchosen/Undivided Chaos. Everyone else isnt a part of that club so for now they only get a book update + a hero (sometimes) and endless spells/terrain. Except slaanesh but I already mentioned hes a different case.
  21. See I agree, but this is why I am always doubting legacy battletomes like Dispossessed or Free People. Can they make everyone unique if they wanted to? Sure, assuming the new Underworld Aelves count as Wanderers and not Sylvaneth. But on the other hand they could also like double the units in KO or something.
  22. I kind of saw squatting coming. A few were a little odd like skycutters (yea that was weird, new kit too), but the aelf issue shows what happens when you smash 3 books of aleves into each other. Theres only so many "elite aelf with 2 handed weapons" they can have before they get all redundant. I mean I even said it a few weeks ago on this topic
  23. Theres the Orruk issue that has been here for months now. "Ironjawz are the biggest Orruks" "Bonesplitterz are the crazy Orruks" Ok so....whats a normal Orruk?
  24. Oi I did my best, I bought 3 of them a few months ago! Also I can imagine skaven players gleefully clapping their little paws that their metal Gutter Runners are still somehow alive.
  25. My only weird issue is that gw also appears wildly inconsistent (I mean I dont even play wanderers, not sure why Im here) Plastic Grot Shaman they could have reused for gloomspite gitz? Removed. Metal (or resin? they didnt specify) Madcap Shaman that comes in a 2 pack from like 14 years ago? Sure keep using them!
