    Good guy Fatshark allows us luckily, to slaughter vermin by millions!

    Yeah, that was a great game, unluckily though,  I bought it for my ps4 and it only works if you pay the extra money to play online ?

    First of all: Hi! This is my first post on the forum. Nice to meet you all

    I'm hoping for some new dispossessed or high elves. Seems unlikely though... one can dream :)

    That would be great. Ah how I miss the old skaven vs Dwarfen battles

    once upon a time  

    The old world existed and Skaven slaughtered dwarfs out of existent (almost) those were the good times. And then Sigmar came

    the end

    I agree with this.  Wherever they discuss technology in the AOS context it tends to seem more steampunk influenced.  Like the huge walker city the Skaven have and the numerous other mentions of potential flying factions. Not sure how I feel about this but definitely seems to be the way things are going.  

    Wait the skaven have a walking city??

    From my understanding it wasnt an attack on Skreech but an attempt to forewarn him into protecting someone whose job and employment could well have been put at risk for disclosing precise information that could easily identify the leak. We all like rumours but I'd hazard a guess that none of us want someone getting the sack so we can get vague information about toy soldiers.

    Well I didn’t see it as an attack on me but more as a warning from which I can learn  to correct and see my mistakes. 

    so yes some comments were maybe a little bit hardish, but still a great way of learning from mistakes which were made.

    No, dig up!

     

    You said it was 'definitely true' 

     

    If you want to do the rumour thing, just have a think who else you could be compromising dude. Both the people I have that tell me stuff (and I stress I have no interest in being a rumour monger, I simply pass on what I know) I'm deliberately vague about.  I'll tell you now, if what you have said about the Slaneesh release, you have named the person there, I'll tell you that for a fact. 

    Well thanks for the information, I’ll remeber it and hopfully not do to many mistakes another time?

    You specifically said a painter that has been contracted to do some work for a release 6 months in the future. That's very specific dude. And GW read this site. 

    What I meant with it was, that I am unsure, if the person who told me that, was lying,  telling the truth or something similar, so literally said  I’ don not know if it is something to be particularly true.

    I'm not 100 percent sure, but i'd bet money the only models that are sent out for pre-release painting are done by the on site team, or one of the very few and select contracted painters like Giuseppe that sign an NDA. 

     

    So you might have really dropped someone in it here, if what you are saying is true. 

    Well like I said it might be false , but the only way to know if it’s right or not is more or less just waiting until the time reveals it

    I like the Stormcast Eternals the more I learn about them from reading the background.  I think the models are ok.  The aesthetic is not my favorite, but I don't dislike them.   They have grown on me over time as I was very much put off by them at the start.  That said, I think endlessly bloating that faction & model range rather than exploring the rest of the allegiances in the game is a mistake.  Honestly, Stormcast has enough stuff to tide them over for a fair bit compared to the rest of the allegiances.

    What the Stormcast probably need most is for their Battletome to be rewritten to be more modern and the GHB-18 to do a better job at handling the costs of units & battalions than the '17 version did (the more allegiances I explore the point costs for - the more it seems that they flubbed up costs across the whole game in that book).   A simple battletome rerelease, without new models like as with the Nagash book, would do more for Stormcast Eternals than dropping another couple of new model kits would.

    Well I was only joking, I hope I didnt upsad any of you guys?.

    anyways yes I like the fluff of the stormcast eternals as well and  I also like to play against them since they are a interesting folk. Fighting in small groups of elites Warriors and not in Hordish army’s. But like all army’s have their issue, so do stormcast eternals have their share.

    anyways Stormcast eternals are a great army in their own way, but they really aren’t my taste so you will definitely never see me play them

    Yup absolutely this, all of this. Bretonnia were very popular after their 6th edition book came out, then they never saw another book and 8th nerfed them into being borderline unplayable.

    Stormcast benefit because they get loads of releases, are the 'main' faction and collectors can be confident they won't just get discontinued.

    It's ridiculous we still have loads of factions that aren't properly fleshed out, mini-factions that either need to be scrapped or developed and most of the range still feels like a stop-gap.

    Let’s vote who wants a discontinuation for the stormcast eternals?

     

    (I’m am just joking?)

    The last faction will probably not be Moonclan but new Stormcasts. 

    I hope not, they already got to much.

    30Battalions to choose from 19units and 18Heros.

    i literally don’t know any faction with its own Battletome, having so many units and Battalion to choose from.

    the time has definitely come for other army’s, which lack off literally everything like Slaanesh, Moonclan, Skaven (verminus, Moulder, eshin, masterclan), Grots, Gutbusters and all the other faction I forgot to mention

    Well from personal experience I was gutted that the old world went pop. But, I understand why it was done.

    Furthermore I have several 'classic' army's on square bases and one I've revised for AoS. Now I can still use them (and even if I can't there are other systems I would use them in and enjoy - Kings of War).

    However the new forces I collect are going to have relatively new Battle tomes - like the Maggotkin I am enthusiastically collecting and loving it.

    Anyway, I am hoping there will be news/rumours on Slaanesh coming back. If anyone has any info I'm all ears. 

    Well I heard some rumors about a battletome coming out sooner or later.

    not sure if it’s true though

    Hi everybody, I’m not sure why most players are crying.

    after all , Darkling covens as well as other army’s from the old world wars are still playable, and probably will be even after 2020 in matched play 

    the way I understand it, is more like that they wanted to give us an army, which symbolizes the old world dark elves, which is more like a little bit of added sugar for player (like me) who miss the old army’s which ones were one and not one of a thousand factions.

    And yes I get it that many of you guys are sad I probably would be the same, if those army’s of legends would be a discontinuation of like the whole Dark Aelves factions, like darkling coven, those Elves who ride on lizards and dragons, the privateer guys etc. 

    There might be even a possibility, that Gw is making a Legend Battletome for every old world army’s, which would be great.

    So anyways don’t worry take it cool, the only army which has a high chance of loosing everything through the legend battletomes will  probably be the most favored (In my opinion) Tomb Kings which is really sad since some of their miniatures look so cool  (like the tomb guard riding on the skeleton snake) and the Bretonnians (it might be spelled wrong)

     

    Uips sorry wrong chat ?

    I've stopped my gitmob expansion. Will finish them with a basic paintjob and not buy any more. This gw decision really really sucks. 

    Well I really don’t mind it too much, but it really would be cool if Gw gave them some points, so you could at least use them in a small matched play game.

    there might be even the possibility, that Doing something like this would bring back old Warhammer fans, and maybe just maybe be one of the most favored army amongst players.

    but than again it could also just be me hallucinating

  15. 36 minutes ago, The Golem said:

    They did a LOT of changes here and there throughout the warscrolls. Too many for me to list them all. There are a few things that bug me in this new version but overall I think it is better than the 2015 version.

    Yeah,  an example would be the Har ganeth executioners.

    in 2015 they had two attacks with a 3 to hit and wound no rend and 1 damage. And for every 6 or more to hit you would have done 2mortal wounds.

    Now they hit a little bit worse than bevor (they only hit on 4plus now) but there Rend has been changed from 0 to -2 as well as their damage from 1 to 2

    similar updates have been done with the drake spawn knights, Dreadlords and Black Guards.

    but the best part of all is that missile units like dark shards now hit on a 3plus instead on a 5 or more in the combat phase

    Chaos is all about freedom, liberty and passion. Each god originally was mend to represent certain aspects of humanity and humanoids. Over the years the representation evolved, but in general its still all there. It's  similar to the way Sith are portrayed, wrongly seen as evil but more about not following strict codes and rules. Skaven on the other hand are, well, rats.

    Let’s go a little bit further.

    Rats which will stab-kill you from the back?

    Na, man, skaven will never be chaos, no matter what gw writes. These rats are vermin, unworthy to follow the dark gods and unable to bring glory to the holy pantheon of the glorious four. No matter how hard that uprise of a horned rat tries, it is nothing more than a laughable pawn, granted entrance to the eternal halls of chaos only for the amusement he brings to the older gods. 

     

    In other words: yes they are part of chaos now, but will never be accepted as true followers outside of the Fluff 

    Well I wouldn’t say that the skaven are unworthy, but rather, them being very untrustworthy.

     we will give you battle yes-Yes, Khorne, Tzeentch and Nurgle must all die-Die.

    there can only be one true chaos God!!

    (and it will be the great horned one??)

    just wait and see-sniff when we skaven come-scurry  back from beneath, and show you weakmeats, how it feels like to be overrun by a true Vermintide.

     

    ((ps: this isn’t meant as a threat or anything similar but rather more like a joke) I might have read to many skaven story’s uips?)

    Skaven are 100% Chaos, in the background, in rules, in AOS, in Mordheim and in WFB.

    The releases order (lol) for Chaos should be : Slaanesh, Darkoath, Skaven (either a Legions of Nagash style book, or Eshin / Skryre, or both).

    @Arkiham do you have more info on that book ?

    We just know it should be more end May / start June than June /July, and that it will probably have an "Etheric Vortexes" scenery line coming with it, alongside Stormcast Wizards and Nighthaunts.

    Well there was somebody ones saying (I think it was Archaon) that the skaven  are also a part of chaos

    But we all know the truth about the skaven having their own corruption.

    afterall Chaos is interested to destroy and kill everything in their way, and the skaven race is more interested in enslaving everbody, doesn’t matter if you are a part of chaos or of a different factions.

    the skaven race would take part of any battle fighting with or against another army  doesn’t matter if the others are from the order or destruction allegiance, as long as their desires can be reached with some help of some other stupid-meatthings, which will be eaten or betrayed by the skaven afterwards.

    so literally said there should be a Grand alligaince skaven, since they are  they are the only factions which has a Highscore when it comes to betrayal
