    I wouldn't call it pessimism. It's just that there's no real precedent for rewriting a proper battletome with allegiance abilities other than stormcast. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    well they said they botch the tome so it definitely not a proper battletome by any regards

    Okay... but it probably won't get one. GW released errata. I'm sure that fix was good enough for them. 

    I am pretty sure that the last Errata made KO worser, and that lead to a lot people posting on their Facebook page about buffing them, during the GHB 2019 suggestion time

    beside when KO was released I believe GW said that they where going to expand the KO range because they sold so well.

    Sylvaneth underworlds warband has a dude with a bow.

    I'm crossing my fingers that it may be a eventual new unit for sylvaneth. Cause cmon, literal tree elves without bows? That ain't right 

    Well the mini durthu guys have bows but I guess they don’t count

    I don't even play FEC and the throne makes perfect sense. "Here is what will happen to you as it happened to all our previous enemies. We 'll sit on your damn bones."

    Pretty straightforward for me :P

    I doubt they have enough sanity to taunt their enemies with a random chair that they themselves have no idea where it came from

  5. To be frank comparing the throne to say the Herdstone, Feculent Nurgle tree, Loonshrine, and the gloomtide, it is probably the weakest terrain feature design-wise. 

    But in the end it just a terrain feature, it just there to sit still and look pretty while giving you free buff. it not meant to be this piece that display amazing CAD sculpting technique and be the centerpiece representation of your army. it just there on the battlefield because you are heavily incentivize (almost force in a way) to field one

    it just the lack of anything new and interesting that maybe it lackluster show a bit more but don't blame the throne for it.

    As for the FEC the new guy will probably be six wounds with a 4 up save. One lucky shot from the Skaven hero and he is dead. End of problem. 

    Also we don't know points yet. 

    well there also Deathless Courtier saves but whatever

    I more surprise that they made it more risky for the Skaven hero to supercharge Warp lighting if an enemy dispels it.

    Haha I love how people have already decided this is it. No new models nothing. 24 hours ago we didn’t expect this box so soon, not to mention no indication of the books. 

    For every release they build up the hype with community articles revealing everything bit by bit. Usually starting off with a general one. So I’m going tot wait on those before despairing over no new models. 

    yeah but they usually at least tease us that there is more to come though. of course their is hope that there  could be stuff at LVO in the end.

    past experience would state that if there is a significant model releases coming GW usually have their graphic department make a trailer before revealing the Battletome.

    , but yeah the really static ones like the Loonshrine and now this thing don't make as much sense. With my Loonshrine I assume my goblins are always defending and they live where ever the battle is happening.

    it actually created by the bad moon every time it show up in the sky it rain down meteors onto the ground and apparently they just end up moon shape in the end

     

    for the Throne, the Ghoul king probably just use magic to animate the bone into a chair shape throne and the pedestal area just happens to be there

    This basically applies to most of the new scenery pieces. Who carries a Moon Shrine mountain with a cave in it and a 20 foot tall stone Monolith Herdstone? 

    Well the beastmen actually do lug that monolith everywhere they go and into battle

    the moonshrine is actually created on the battlefield before hand via meteor fall by the da bad moon

    I'll be purchasing almost everything available in the Skaven part of the release.  I am curious to see if Poison Wind Mortars and Warpfire Throwers aren't usable however.

     I would not know how they would put  Skyre acolyte in considering how hard it is to get a unit of them in the field, rat swarm are the other thing I don't know if they will keep. I have a feeling that a lot of stuff won't make it into the tome.

  12. thinking about doing a Gobbapalooza build, my plans is just hand of mork 60 superbuff grots with battleshock immunity, rerolling charges, fanatics, and +1 attack at the enemy. and if they all die I hope I can roll that 4 to get them all back when I need them

    For me the support would have been to give us at least one kit which includes unique models for our heroes)

    🥺😣

    Umm the Archreagant hero  from the Box doesn't count?

    TBH I would have at least hope a named hero character (Ushoran) or plastic Varghulf

    I can't believe people are being salty about this release. For ages people have asked that GW update old WHFB factions. Either you get a book, some endless spells and a scenery piece or you can wait for years to get a full model update. GW can't release new model ranges for every old faction every other month. 

    What do people expect? 

    I am pretty sure everyone ideally wants a Gloomspite or DoK type release.

    But I think FEC have such a small model range to begin with is not helping.

    Happy to see the fans of the armies liking the new stuff. Still though I was hooping for at least a new unit each. Skaven’s range is ancient and stopping me from starting it. 

    yeah some of the models are like 15-20 years old, it like craftworld eldar bad

    Note that when they announced Carrion Empire they only alluded lightly to more things coming "eventually" for the army; nothing about eventually being "on the same day" 

    yeah but their MO is usually to give a sentence in the end of the article that there are more things to come for these two armies. the Preorder article didn't have one.

    Fence corpses: corpse cart (as well as pretty much all the corpses they used)

    Fence: GW Graveyard

    Horses: Nighthaunt horses.

    the bone chalice: spirit-magic thingy of the NH hourglass.

    it‘s pretty much 80% Recycling.

    it probably them reusing CAD files that having the same design. Granted the Endless spell seem to stuff they make quickly and on the fly.

  18. 4 minutes ago, Blightzkrieg said:

    So do we foresee most/all factions as having terrain features in the future?

    Endless spells was always kind of a given, but it's surprising to me that we have all these armies lugging buildings at each other.

    I think it because AoS has a lack Terrain pieces so it there way of making battlefield more colorful
