Blade banshees may be good conversion fodder into normal tomb banshees.

Full studio pics of the new units (this hasnt been posted yet right?)

If Khorne gets a 2.0 book, I think you can bet your blood tithes that the named "mega battalions" are going to become the subfactions with specific traits, ability, item, etc. Tamukhan just got to jump the gun since hes FW.

I'm sad that the name is the only good thing about the "Petty Vengeance" ability. It's no substitute for summoning that's for sure!
Yea it seems like a band aid for budget players that don't have Blue and Brimstone Horrors.

Well to me the entire Everchosen book always felt a little weird, being more of a supplement than an actual battletome (heck it only has 3 units in it!). It is sort of strange to use battalions not in the normal faction book!
-
Great updates, though man I think those beasts are going to be toasty with all that fur on!
Also this is semi related but these upcoming Runewars minis look like they could be a neat addition to a more volcano/desert land ogors (no idea exactly though their scaling). Just add some blood to their weapons and they may look like a good Non Cauldron Butcher.

Wonder they will be a duel kit with those scytheed handed banshees?
I dunno, GW seems to be very allergic to dual kits these days. They didn't even make Namarti a dual kit (granted it was probably better since the legs are quite different).

Unless an easy to build kit of 6 Grimghast Reapers comes out, it looks like the starter box unit is more of a "demo" unit that won't be filled out. Anyone doing anything interesting with their spares? I'm thinking that the four in the starter get built and added to 6 from the proper box, and use the leftovers there, since it'll be a multipart kit, for conversions and general bit box fodder. I'll probably use one of them as a cairnwraith, which really needs little conversion, but I need a way to differentiate it from the unit in case they end up next to each other on the table. But I'm not coming up with too much interesting to do with them yet, but maybe as more stuff comes out I'll think of something.
Maybe use some of them for a custom Mortis Engine/Blood Palanquin?

Is there any reason not to assemble the command trio for the Blightkings? That way you can field 2x 5 or 1x 10 and have full command with both configurations? I just assembled my second five without the standard and bell and am wondering if I made a mistake.
It's actually even encouraged to make as many banner bearers and musicians allowed (or generally 1 command trio per box set number). Some units have two different banners and there are many games that allow the usage of both unless 2.0 is going to get rid of that. The only restriction is the champions who are 1 per unit.

So, is Lady Olynder a day one buy?
Well might want to wait for matched play points.

Notice Olynder's frightful touch rule. The 6 is the unmodified roll, which is a slight buff to the entire faction if I'm not mistaken (the Spirit Torment allows us to re-roll 1s but we don't have a support hero that gives attack rolls +1, correct?)
I believe that AoS 2.0 is moving away from 6+ rules and instead is going for Natural 6 rolls.

There are a number of mistakes on the Warscroll Builder. For example when selecting the Nurgle parts of Tamurkhan's Horde, it does not mention the Nurgle tag.

Haven’t we got the same number already? 2 SC and 2 NH. I was expecting they would turn up in a Storm of Sigmar / First Strike set in a month or two.
Ah yes they are the same number. I think I was counting the smaller starter sets as well. And technically the Khorgorath that doesn't even have its own box yet!

Like the Poxwalkers I think we'll get an Easy to Build set down the line with unique sculpts, but only five or so in a box.
And not to mention all the Easy Build boxes that came out of the original AoS set. Heck they even permeated into the Start Collecting boxes.

Hi, gonna ask an incredibly naive question (?) but in the absence of a Slaves to Darkness Battletome, and because my Khorne force needs a little heavy metal in the ranks, can I use my Chaos Warriors and Chaos Knights but with a Khorne allegiance and use them not as allies (in other words, as Khorne battleline)?
Or would they still come under Slaves to Darkness for Matched Play and part of my allies allocation? ?
All Khorne marked models are Khorne units and can be a part of a Khorne allegiance (same with other gods).
However Slaves to Darkness sepcific Battleline ARE NOT Battleline for any other army.

So given that the biggest (if not the only) difference between Cairn Wraiths and Grimghast Reapers are the blindfolds, I wouldn't be surprised if a more cost effective method of getting a collection of Cairn Wraiths would be to replace the blindfold heads with normal skulls.

You know what. Tzeentch is pretty powerful with realm spells in play.
Anyone tried them? Maybe the army is balanced with that in mind?
Sort of doubt wizards are built with the realm spells in mind, aren't those sort of firmly in Open/Narrative play outside of specific events that do specify them?
I mean how the heck do you balance Matched Play rules with gaining 6 extra spells for free.
-
Do you think a future unit for FEC could be cavalry? And how would they make it special other than "ghouls on zombie horses"?
Perhaps they could even make a dual kit to make either FEC cavalry or Blood Knights (though I'm not sure if GW will ever make cross allegiance kits for AoS).

But I assume you can’t summon more than once with the General, as they stated that our command abilities will work only once per King...
Otherwise sounds really cool, the problem is that you have to buy 6 Ghoul kings on foot...
Well someone surely must have a bunch of spare GK via vampire zombie dragons!

The two (or three with Thunderscorn) really really really need to be a combined faction.
Not to mention Centigors. Ok I understand that maybe not all monsters of chaos belong with beastmen, but Centigors are literally Gors!

The ghost Sea Horses is so unexpected but works really well!

Another idea is that since the Stormcast also have a lot of lion iconography, maybe there are lion rangers that work very closely with the SCE? And perhaps after a long partnership, some of these lion rangers are rewarded with equipment. Maybe even call them the warhammer equivalent of "Thunder Cats"!
-
There could also be an expansion to the different magic realms. Surely not all lion rangers hail from a place where magic doesn't affect them/affect the local lions. Kind of inspired by warcraft cards. Even if elemental lions aren't really a thing, perhaps there are lion rangers that are more connected to Ghur.

Another thing could be lions that lost their master so they charge forth with reckless abandon with little care to their self preservation, like slayers.
-
While cool, I think Lion Rangers are a little one dimensional atm. I can easily see them getting refolded back into a unified aelve faction. While you could try to finagle a battletome out of them, I think thats almost like trying to make a battletome out of Maneaters. Then again I did really like someone's suneater fan army (thats basically expanding the fire eater ogor, a single model!).
Maybe since White Lions are far more about brute strength, maybe their ranged unit should use throwing axes rather than bows? Perhaps white lioness riders that trade power for speed?
As for warscrolls that look like official ones, theres this website.

AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness / Darkoath Discussion
in Chaos
Posted
Most mortal stuff is ok (but not super amazing), it seems the consensus is that Chosen and normal chariots are the only real yucky units (and sorcerer on manticore being really pricey). Oh and Forsaken are not slaves so they don't count for allegiances which makes them very moot (well they dont even sell them anymore anyways).
