The fragmentation of our army is very regrettable. The 400 points of allies is very precious and for that reason there are some units that I will just never use again, Flagellants are a good example. GW need to get their act together on this. As bad as Freeguild have it, it's just outrageous if you're an old High Elf player.
We also suffer from their refusal to spruce up old warscrolls. You mentioned Demigryph Knights. They went from being tough, reliable damage dealers to ... what? What are they supposed to do? A lot of the old monstrous cavalry such as Demis, Bloodcrushers, Skullcrushers and Dragon Ogres have pathetic damage output and have all become this strange low damage, medium durability, reasonably fast, totally boring units that have big cool models.
Demis at the very least need 3+ to hit on their lance, -1 rend on the halberd and -2 rend on the Talons.
The Steam Tank is down to 240 points so I may try to use it again but alas it feels so feeble compared to the engine of destruction that it was.
I have no idea if a battletome is on the way. I look at the model range and I just don't see GW promoting it. Maybe we get a whole new set of models for our core units but I just don't see it happening.
