Agreed 100% there shouldn't be any bounderies between GW/FW like that...
Well at least today its perfectly acceptable to actually use FW!
Not like 6 or so years ago when people usually universally banned FW due to things like autocannon chimeras and dreadnought drop pods.

So has anyone actually had any game time with Seraphon summoning?

To me having a Banner Bearer be the god marker is a ok!

I honestly cant understand why fw havent used aos as the opportunity to bring back rhinox cavalry for beastclaw.
Maybe the mold is broken and they don't think they could make the money back for a new one? Then again they somehow can fund all the lotr stuff....

The Free Cities are quite possibly my favorite aspect of Age of Sigmar. The amount of fun stuff you can do with them, as well as giving center for stories and Mixed Order armies and themes are just fantastic. That being said...none of the fun Free Cities allow all the factions I want. lol Greywater Fastness is about as close as I can get using what I have in my Mixed Order so far. But I always want more! I guess its Hammerhal for me... Can't have everything!
Would love to have a customizable Free Cities generator. Similar to the Kharadron Overlords one, where you can pick a combination of abilities and put in a number of factions. Make your own city! Would go well with the Free City lore generator they have.I think the problem is they're afraid people would abuse that to get the maximum benefits with the least downsides like what happened back in the old 40k days where you could make custom space marine chapters or imperial guard regiments.

The "Half" starter sets are also up for previews. Those might be good if you need to fill out a few number gaps.

Someone at FW must have thought "wow someone bought one of our LOTR models!" ??

So I have Warriors of Chaos army from WHFB and loads of Daemons.
Before I sell everything from WoC what can I play in AoS and can I play it competitevly?
Also I can write everything what I have but mostly I have khorne stuff and characters from AoS starter from 3 years ago.
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).

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.
AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness / Darkoath Discussion

While this would certainly make Darkoath unique, I am getting Beasts of Chaos -> Beastmen transition flashbacks, which I think people are still a little sore about. I mean I'm sure theres people who still have Pestigor or Khrongor models for AoS!
I think there should be some Darkoath unique units and more Darkoath unique synergy, much like the difference between Legions of Nagash and Nighthaunt. Yes you can use many Nighthaunt units in LoN, but there are also many that are Ally only. Plus many Nighthaunt models only buff other Nighthaunt and also rely on the Nighthaunt Allegiance.
