The new Skaven battletome has dropped hints at Dispossessed.
Something specific? Have skaven driven them to extinction again?

I would have been fine if they had used the throne that already existed, because that could be carried around. Now it seems like every battle is happening in a FeC throne room, underground...at the heart of their lair...😕
2I dislike that too, but that's the same problem I have with the herdstone and the loonshrine. Seems like going forward all the armies will fight at home. (The gnawholes make sense, thou. I actually like that idea).
That aside, I think this release is good news, not only for the respective army fans but for most players with old or non-existent battletomes.-

A bit disappointed with the new "rockgut troggoths". They're not bad minis, but compared with the old ones, I think they lack character.
Alas, it was a matter of time for the old rock trolls to disappear -they've been there since Fourth Edition, which I think speaks volumes about how cool those models were- but I hoped for replacements that either looked closely like the originals, or have at least as much character in their own unique way.

Love the video. Really makes you want to make an army for each of the three factions.

Gloomspite, uh? Seems like they're scaling up the creepiness.
Also, as others have pointed out, a new name means they can put together moonclan and spiderfang under the new tag (while keeping the old ones). A hybrid like the scutlings won't look out of place then.
Looking forward for the new miniatures. -

Gasp!
Are we sure this will be only a battletome? By the teasers looks like a small event with the Bad Moon "rising in the Mortal realms" and all those poor sods getting transformed.

I think the greatest issue with Dispossesed is the lack of centerpiece modelas and variety. They would need a DoK revamp, not just a Bt.
IIRC, there were rumours of a stone golem before the army book was released. A model like that would be enough for a Dispossesed battletome, since as others have pointed out, the aesthetic doesn't look out of place in AoS (unlike other old armies).

Thanks @TheWilddog,! That looks like a fun army to play. And definitely makes sense to play to the strengths of the army; I'd give this a try.

I think the Orruk Warboss on Boar is an auto include as an ally in a list like this. He rides with the Boars most of the time and for 140 his banner gives re-roll to all wounds of 1 for Orruks and his command ability spams extra attacks for Orruks. (Note it says models make 1 extra attack with all of their melee weapons, meaning you get 1 extra choppa and 1 extra boar attack). Really helps just throw a wall of attacks at a target. Also pretty good to buff up the Stabbaz if you need that and with 9 inch move can be where you need it.
Its pretty easy and fun to mock up one from a normal Boarboy.
I'd had given some thought to this idea, and although it makes alot of sense competitive-wise, I'm a bit romantic when it comes to list-building and keeping the theme. Although I guess it could be converted to look more like bonespliterz...
Anyway, I'd been toying with another list (just another box for stabbas and custom wardokks, still good value) that seems harder to counter, although the lack of cavalry may be a problem:Allegiance: Bonesplitterz
Wurrgog Prophet (140)

Maybe dropping one unit of stabbas for another wardokk? Thoughts?-

The question is will it be just the marauders or replacing Slaves to Darkness entirely. Chaos Warriors must be the oldest plastic kit now and look a bit weedy next to the Stormcast and Khorne Chaos Warriors.
Ideally, they'd be replaced too. They're the original big, fully armoured guys, and should be as big and flashy as the Stormcast. But you know, with skulls and spikes.

Hi, guys.
Indulge me on some theory crafting, if I may. I realized that my stash of miniatures includes a Wurrgog prophet, a Wardokk and what looks like a savage boss from an unknown manufacturer.Since bonesplitterz' boxes are pretty generous in miniatures (which almost made it up for the lack of an SC! box) I tried to make a functional list with a small number of boxes (4 in this case).
Allegiance: Bonesplitterz
Leaders
Wurrgog Prophet (140)
- Artefact: Ju-ju Wotnotz
- Lore of the Savage Waaagh: Squiggly Curse
Wardokk (100)
Savage Big Boss (120)
- General
- Granite Choppa & Shield
- Trait: Prophet of da Waaagh!
- Artefact: Lucky Bone
Battleline
30 x Savage Orruk Arrowboys (420)
10 x Savage Boarboy Maniaks (280)
10 x Savage Boarboy Maniaks (280)
Units
2 x Savage Big Stabbas (100)
2 x Savage Big Stabbas (100)
Battalions

Chronomantic Cogs (60)
Total: 1800 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 5
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 153
I'm clueless about how to fill up the remaining points. Maniak weirdnob? Trolls? Anyway, let me know what you think.
Cheers! -
I see. I never buy anything at the GW webstore, thought we might have found another repacking. Oh, well...

Looking at GW's webstore right now. Several items are "temporarily out of stock". Not only moonclan units (warboss and hoppers) but also vanilla orcs, boar chariot, and wolf riders. Make of that what you will.

Am I the only one who hopes that the old Landsknecht look of the Freeguild left over from the Old World Empire is eventually replaced by something more Mortal Realmly? But in such a way that the old minis can still be used? Maybe even side by side, like Cadians and Catachan minis?
But on topic, I would bet money that there’s some Moonclan stuff in those teaser pics.
Definitely. Not trying to ****** off Empire players, but I honestly think the Landsknecht look doesn't fit AoS aesthetic. But I don't think GW will openly ditch them, neither.

I can't look beyond 2 GKoTg and 2 x 10 Ghouls. Plenty of summoning with the option between Crypt Flayers and Horrors depending on enemy. That's an additional 420 points with flexibility to come on any table edge.
There's beauty on a list that can be done with exactly two "start collecting!" boxes and nothing more.

The Problem of the Free Peoples and the Freeguilds in Age of Sigmar
in Age of Sigmar Discussions

My solution is similar to @JPjr, in that I would group vanilla dwarfs, whatever elves don't fit the new factions and humans. But humans would be made from new kits that actually fit the AoS aesthetic, while I will squat most of the old Empire range. I really think historic cultures don't have a place in this setting.
Having said that, I understand that would suck for many Empire players, and judging by GW new approach, they're more likely to be satisfied than me. So hopefully they won't harbor bad feelings towards me!
