Because they’re juggling like 10 games.
If you’re not keeping track of /everything/ they’re doing it feels like they haven’t done anything in forever.
However they just dropped a Titan release for 40k before AoS 2, then a Blood Bowl Team and pitch, then AoS 2, now Kill Team back to 40k, some Warhammer Quest support for the Soul Wars Undead in a White Dwarf article, all of which came with new models.
The Titans were new, the Dark Elves for Blood Bowl are new, Kill Team at the very least has new terrain, the Soul Wars Box Set was all new models, and that’s just the stuff I know about.
There may have been some Necromunda gang releases, or Shadespire stuff or some other board game I forgot about.
Ah ok, so are people expected to play all GW games to have fun? I have some anxiety problems, so am not expecting to feel the same way, but how do people go on with their armies being bad or the feat that they may be bad at any moment. And am not claiming that blades are bad, am not good enough player to judge that. Even the thought that maybe someone at GW just decided to not update blades of khorn in the next few years makes me feel a bit sick.
Or is it that people have to love painting or buying AoS books, to feel ok with the hobby, besides the possibility of playing all GW games and being lucky that one of those goes well for the stuff you picked. I have been talking about it with doctor, but she wasn't really happy about me starting that kind of a hobby.

@Karol Daemons aren't essential as you don't have to summon given we have alternative uses for blood tithe. Keep in mind a lot of players here hit up tournaments or generally look for every competitive edge but you dont have to play that way.
I do understand your concerns. One of the reasons I stopped playing years ago was because chaos warriors went from being 2 attacks each, 3+ save elite warriors to 1 attack each 5+ save chaff. I forget what edition change it was but the whole character of my Chaos Warriors army changed for the worse (in my opinion) overnight. However years later I'm back in the hobby with a vengeance, fortunately kept all my models and now my old chaos warriors are back to being somewhat elite infantry and are relevant again. As the meta and rules change you will find different models/units come and go. I currently have 3 blood crushers collecting dust as they are absolute rubbish but in a couple of years time they might be the business and will see action again. In the meantime I have plenty of other options to build lists from. Granted not everyone can have a huge collection but you need to view the hobby as a long term project. Your collection will build over time. There are always deals going on ebay if cash is an issue. A weak list on paper can still snag a glorious victory while the strongest seeming lists can falter. Sometimes you can catch an opponent off guard because he was expecting you to run gore pilgrims and summon a blood thirster but you turn up with a completely different army and game plan.
Its about having fun at the end of the day and Khorne cares not who wins or loses, as long as there is blood & skulls ?
our secondary market for AoS stuff is rather small, it is hard to get stuff outside of stores. There are full armies being sold, but most of them are old WFB armies, not very compatible with AoS. I think the waiting of years is kind scary too me. Maybe waiting a year or two, isn't so bad if your 40 or older, but for me 2-3 years seemed like a life time. I don't even know if the game or faction is going to exists in 2-3 years time, or if I am going to play. for all I know, the store may close in that time and then no one will play AoS here.
I wish I could do the lore thing people seemed to be so in to, or recast my own models to have a full 2k list.
Does anyone know if GW ever explained why they don't do new releases like other games? Now I don't know many table top games, and played only AoS, but it seems that other games have new stuff coming steady with new stuff for all or most faction every month, while with GW you get 2-3 boxs and 2-3 heros, and then nothing for years. And if you get unlucky people playing bad armies maybe put in loop that can last for editions.

Ok, it does explain some stuff to me. the edition switch seems to be brutal for new players though, they didn't get to expiriance or get bored with the good stuff, but are there to "enjoy" the nerfs. And the fact that people seem to be saying that an update is years in the future, and the GH didn't fix anything, makes it hard to go further. In fact it is down right scary to buy anything. Never know if something suddenly gets nerfed by a FAQ and your left with money put in to stuff that doesn't work.
QuoteI don't think anyone cares about this rule, even in tourneys. Most people are more than happy to play against a nicely painted army no matter the color choice.
People here are very RAW, if they have a rule that helps them or hinders their opponents they use it. The fact that most people dislike stormcasts and their players doesn't help being merciful either.

True, although there are still problems. It is rather daunting to hear day 1 of new edition, that to even start playing you have to get 30 demons, 10 dogs, 1 dog characters and a bloodthirster, and you dont even want to play demons just mortals.

18 hours ago, kenshin620 said:This may not be the SCE discussion...but how did this happen? Last I remember there weren't any Battleline changes. Or does it have to do with the Stormhosts forcing particular special characters to only affect their stormhost (Gavriel Sureheart comes to mind).
Anyways seeing how this book came out less than a year ago, I do not see GW changing it for at least another 1.5-2 years. Heck back in the days of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, Bretonnia's last book was in 2003....and would be used until the death of WFB (granted thats the elephant in the room, but there were also a number of 7th edition books that would never get an 8th book).
Some units cost more, others don't fit in to 2000pts, some got nerfed, plus his army is painted the wrong way, he wanted to have stormcasts from different orders, and the rules now say armies have to be the proper color.
We have one GW store in Poland, or we had one, not sure it it still exists. 12 hour trip to get there isn't really an option to me.
All in all I hope that GW is going to be adding wizards to all armies, maybe they can put the rules in a WD or an expansion book of some sort. To be honest I wonder why they didn't do it with the generals handbook. I ordered it expecting new rules, but there is almost nothing in the book. No new relics or units. At least the points costs are in it, but paying that much for 2 pages seemed a bit of a waste.
I hope that kromlech or some other firm starts making AoS models for cheaper then GW.

Not sure but I have heard that 40k will be getting a worldeaters release at the end of the year and there will be some plastic flesh hounds coming
Ok, thank you. I hoped for something like updated battle tome and khorn wizards, or plastic models to replace the resin stuff.

You could even sell off the other two juggs for spare change, or maybe turn them into juggernaut chariots (gorebeast chariot or blood throne count as ).
I don't have the parts to build a chariot, and I wouldn't know how to make one my own. The only way I can think of is to buy a regular chaos chariot, but that already has beasts in the box. I asked around at it seems like this is the normal GW practice, a guy at our store was angry that to make some character he has to buy 3 mounted dudes, he can't run 3 of them and the mni
QuoteMy experience being hes actually not that bad to put together for a resin model. Pieces fit pretty well, no need for greenstuff. Hardest part was getting the lord to sit on the jugger at the right angle.
My store doesn't carry any of the resin models, they had too many returns. All they sell is plastic and metal GW models.
Thanks guys, after rethinking I think I will just not run the lord on juggernought. buying 2 boxs to make one models is kind of a out of my league. Am trying to find some cheap good heros for blades of khorn, but all of them either sit in big boxs or high cost kits like bloodthirsters.
I wonder if we are going to have to wait long for a battle tome update. Buying in to stuff is scary, when the units can be killed off. A friend had his whole SCE army made illegal with their new battle tome, and he ain't happy about it.

Ah, ok thanks guys, I don't like resin models, they seem to be very bad quality, at least comparing to the plastic ones. I think, I will just wait till GW makes a plastic version.
-
how do people get a lord of khorn on juggernought, the option to buy 6 riders seems rather pricy, plus it leaves 2 models you can't use. Or does everyone use the OOP model, because those look great, but are hard to get as no one is selling them.

Does anyone have any tips on how to beat non summoning lizardman at 1500pts.

If my choices are to live endlessly as a bag of rot under Nurgle, stumble around forever as an undead skeleton under Nagash, or be reformed by Sigmar until I forget where my car keys are, I'll take Sigmar.
But stormcasts don't forget the important stuff, just the unimportant stuff. They stay focused on the job, the way someone autistic would be, and there is nothing wrong with being like that. I like the fact that they are realistic in that way.

And intelectual blindness strikes me again. Guess this means your done as mortal goes, maybe another unit of wrathmongers to switch things up from time to time, but it is hardly crucial.

How do they perform? Wouldn't it be better to run reapers or another set of warriors or something instead?
They sit on objectives and die. Running something else would probablly be better, though I don't have any other models.
1 hour ago, Ravinsild said:Am I missing anything critical for my army (that’s not a demon and are they really actually super critical?)
Blood warriors I think. Am not sure, but I think they are required for some of the battalions that actually get used.

Is it possible that instead of a huge mamooth, GW may decide to make a more normal sized one? something that could fit on a knight base, like an up scaled BCR beast.

whats the purpose of the two named unit at the end?
Got one as part of my AoS stuff present from my parents, and the other one I got for free from a guy that quit shadespire. Without them I would be playing with 140pts less, and I already haev 200pts in CP.

Yeah it could change in our new battletome, but till then or a FAQ it works.
Till then I am playing with this. Seems to work fine, as long as I don't play LoN or seraphon.

Did anyone have a strong early Horus Heresy feeling from the book?

Guys I have a question about the General Handbook, it has the points costs for Blades of Khorn units and some of them have stars on the left side of the unit name. I am assuming this means a change of some sort to the units rules or points costs. But it isn't very clear, if that is the case. Plus if the stars do point at a change of some sort, where do I find the rules for those changed units.

Ok, guys I will hold off with buying stuff till chaos gets its battletomes next month.

I kind of a just started, I didn't get that many games in. Do you think the Generalhand book will fix stuff for khorn armies ?

What do you guys think I should get for 2.0. Right now I have this 20 blood warriors, 80 bloodreavers , 10 bloodletters, a bloodpriest, 3 crushers ,2 death dealers and the 5 blood reavers from spire.
I thought about adding a bray shaman, but am not sure if I have to take any battle lines to get him as ally. I was also thinking about maybe running the blood warriors as chaos warriors with halabards, Also are 3 skull crushers worth getting, people seem to run them in 18s or more. I was thinking about running them as late turn objective grabers.

The mounts for the new SCE are ok, they just did something with the heads. I don't know what it is with GW and heads, most of their models have horrible faces. Head swamps with gryphon riders could do wonders to the models. I mean the "ram" pegasus should have a ram or goat head, at it would be perfect.

Guys do you think an infantry based mortal list, that uses BT for buffs and dispels and not summoning is going to be playable in second edition?

2 would be better. Maybe there will be a slaves to darkness one, and the mortal models will get the option to follow any 4 of the gods.

But that is kind of a stupid, the whole new edition is about magic, spellcasting and doing stuff with wizards. Even priests, which blades of khorn do have, don't count for those options. So either GW should give everyone wizards, or do something like let priests cast spells and do the wizard actions in scenarios etc.
