  1. i think most people thought the LRL was an incomplete release just by comparing them to the release of Bonereapers and IDK  (4 foot heroes  compare to LRL 2  + Eltherion and  then the Leige Kavalos/ Akelian King equivalent) if the teased  units  is a mounted lord and a small hero, then it probably complete the stuff that should have been in Wave one

    probably what happen was that 40k 9th edition was coming up and they had an earlier deadline to get the book done and remaining hero where just shelved until now.

    Players can do whatever they want once they agree with each other - including changing the rules. That's pretty much how the social contract in games works. ;)

    sure but always give leeway in your rules for players, 

    though i think Narrative play often time goes out the Waazoo because there still have to be organization out of it

  3. they could just make it optional to play the double turn mechanic, like how you roll for your artifacts instead of choosing one, so you don't have to force players to play it if there an agreeance with the other player.

    less feel bad moments for new players too

  4. tangibly specialist games probably get the delays the most, not sure if Underworld is going to keep their roadmap with the new schedule. Necromunda and blood bowl are probably also delay as well

    while i am not sure if GW is going to delay the next  edition, since 40k pretty much  got through their launch in mist of the pandemic as well, i have a feeling they just bull doze there way to releasing it by October especially that they probably have a good chunk of the new edition done by now.

    in truth they only need 4 more broken realm books to cover every faction in AoS, monthly release of those books probably get them all out by June/july.

    I wouldn't rule it out but the bases in underworld warbands tend to be pretty homogenous and the Chameleon Skink is on a small tree whereas this is on a piece of stonework, that looks at least at upon first blush, similar to the bestial leg, rat, and crow. 

    The other skink was on stone though

    I could see them doing a Sons of Behemat Vs Box at some point. A Mega Gargant and two Mancrushers would be epic.

    or they could just have a Mega gargant vs Mega gargant box like what they did with the Imperial Knight Renegade boxset

    to be fair, i don´t think gloomspite were writen with the idea of 4 diffrent armies in a singel book, but more as a mix and match book between all the diffrent "subfactions", alot like the Cites of Sigmar battletome. While it´s possible to run an army of only squigs, the army might work, but gets alot better if you mix in a few stabbas.

    i don't know, the way they did the Keyword bingo and battalion implies that it was suppose to be design to play army as specific subsect then souping and truth is  the book doesn't really favor souping outside of using stabbas and squigs as bodies on objectives.  Also i find people just don't like fielding stabbas and playing the horde aspect of Gloomspites

    With these new Celestial sub-factions, it appears as though they may have come to realise that many Gloomspite devotees have particular favourites within the overall faction.  We can only hope that the next Battletome will better reflect this while still offering a variety of Gitz soups.  Perhaps a version of the Orruk Warclans set-up might fit the bill.

    the way i though  they could have done the battle tome was have three different allegiance with Moonclan (w/ Troggoths) as one, Spiderfang with specific tailor rules for them as another, and then use the Current Gloomspite rules as the Soup allegiance for both army

    I figured as much. I'm struggling to figure out what Spiders want to be.

    i always though Spiderfang was trying to be the BCR-like calvary behemoth army and their strength compare to squig was reliable movement and MW output. but i don't think the effort was there to make spiderfang viable when the rules where written at the time. 

    i think having a lack of good command abilities, having most of the A-rok variant being very subpar,  and  being both squishy and elite (in term of objective holding) at the same time really hurts the army

  9. it is weird though since Forgeworld 40k is way better supported then AoS forgeworld, they got their own  compendium and quite a few things have good enough rules that people field them (Ork warboss on bike and Adeptus Custodes tanks to name a few)

    they even get some steady releases from HH like those Adeptus custodes jetpack units that was release from last year, though i think the last true 40k release was the Necron walker or the AD mech Drill transport that where like two years ago.

    So what needs to happen for Slaangors to be usable in BoC? Clearly they will arrive after the Winter FAQ, and in a Slaanesh book I doubt there would be mention of BoC units, our best hope before the General Handbook 2021 would be a Broken Realms book figuring BoC as protagonists?

     They would just need the BoC and bray herd keyword on their warscroll, broken realm probably  updates the  Depraved drove battalion to allow Slaangors in them.

    Just a note as this is a pretty big addition to the Slaanesh forces the "more" might be GW phrasing that to mean more in a sense of a full rework of the models we already have - ergo a new battletome. Which even though the last one isn't that old, I'd not begrudge GW releasing considering how many new models they are adding to the army through this. 

    i still think they are adding them via Broken realm like what they did with Ad mech and Engine Wars in PA, 

    if a new edition comes out in summer i would think a new battletome would come after that

    Im about to build my first set of brutes. Any tips or must knows about (sub) assembly? 
    will be building both boss options, a gore hacka and two double hacka brutes for Warcry 

     

    i usually do their chestplate and head seperately before gluing them on the body just so i have an easier time painting the greenskin on the body, if you want to you can even do the back armor plate and shoulderpads separately as well
