A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Edit: Sance beat me to the punchline. The KO box is a bit disappointing because it's basically Aether War + a Frigate and Gunhauler but you get Brokk instead of an Endrinmaster in Dirigible Suit. Even if you go out and buy a Start Collecting you only have 1 Battleline if you actually play it as Barak-Nar. I think the play is to just say Brokk is actually an Endrinmaster in Dirigible suit and run Endrinriggers as Battleline

Dang it, I was literally just thinking that I never put my Tzeentch half of Aether Wars on eBay and then GW is like “why don’t you go to 2K?” I wonder if Aether Wars sold like crazy and that’s why we’re getting both factions to end the year.

I could have worded my post better, I meant better minions for Neferata like new Blood Knights, Vampire Infantry, maybe some of her spies as elites, etc. I love Neferata's current kit!

This would tease Slaanesh players and give Neferata some new models. I see this as an absolute win! But let’s just take it one step further and have pompous, excessive vampire royalty that can fight for Death or Slaanesh.

I ended up selling all my Nighthaunt bundled together as an "army lot". I think the biggest selling point was the 50 chainrasp

I was thinking I might get 2 of them at $160. Now at $210 GW isn’t getting anything from me.

Cunning Fleetmaster gives a blanket “It can Fly High unless it’s an Arkanaut Ironclad”. What are y’all’s thoughts on this overriding the normal Fly High garrison limits? In my mind, because of the way it’s written, it removes any other limitations of Fly High so you could Fly High a Frigate with 15 Thunderers for example. I know it likely needs an FAQ, but I’m still frustrated about lingering questions that haven’t been answered.

I drilled a hole in their bum and pinned them to corks with a paper clip

At 1K and below they’re pretty nice to have for grabbing objectives or providing a speed bump somewhere on the board. Their shooting isn’t bad and their melee is really good. I was originally gonna use more in my list because I started with Aether War, but I really wanted to try everything out since I’m new to KO. Also, I ended up changing my mind after the first week as I was planning on taking the Dirigible Suit but we were growing 125 points each week and I wanted a Frigate in my list so I didn’t want to go 2 weeks with no new models in the league.

I’m currently in an escalation league to Meeting Engagements. Due to this, my list is slightly different from how I’d normally run it (1x10 and 1x20 Arkanauts instead of 3x10) Skyport: Zilfin Admiral - Leader - Master Commander Trait Aether Khemist - Staff is Ocular Optimization Frigate - Cannon - Omniscope Gunhauler - Cannon - Debt Settler Torpedo 3x Endrinriggers - 1 Skyhook and 2 rapid fire river gun + chainsaw hand 1x 10 Arkanauts 2x 10 Arkanauts Last week was 750 points and I ran this list without the Admiral and 20 block of ArCo and it was a blast.

I just bought Arcanites and Squigs for Warcry and all the new cards. At least GW was nice enough to wait long enough for most of us to get another paycheck before the next wave.

At the 11:15 minute mark of this week's Warhammer Weekly, Vince says that GW is aware they broke stuff with this FAQ answer and that they're gonna fix it but I have no idea where he got that info and what the time frame is.

This is incorrect, none of the Fly High or Hitcher rules reference only being able to move in the movement phase while Forest Spirits does.

Hmm, that’s a valid concern because of the wording: “...this unit will hitch a lift instead of making a normal move (as long as this unit has not made a normal move in the same phase)...” I’d say my argument for is that it hasn’t made a normal move and it’s not clear that you have to have a normal move available to the unit. The argument against is “instead of making a normal move” infers that having a normal move available is a prerequisite to Hitchers. GW, when’s the next FAQ?

So with no FAQ answer on it, is the Zilfin “There’s always a breeze if you look for it” Hero phase Fly High legal? It gives you a hero phase normal move on 1 Unit and fly high is “instead of making a normal move”.

Also hoping for this feature
