[Squatting Watch: Alerts for Discontinued Models]

I'm now making some enemies here but got to be honest - I LOVE that last move of GW. Seriously. I know some of you feel let down but on the other hand, how long have those minis been available to buy? 10 years? It's no surprise that products disappear and are replaced by newer ones. You had lot of time to have joy with those minis. Some factions might be abandoned which might make you sad or angry. If I were to guess - Free Peoples and Dispossessed. Some will be reimagined or updated which imho is great. I'm thinking all the elves. Your minis had their time and still can give joy. As your collection and in games. Maybe only tournaments will be a no go. Maybe you will actually like where GW is taking your army. 

I was going to reply in a certain way but it's not worth the ban.

This is way beyond the worst case scenario I had in mind.

[Double turn]

I think it's probably a fine mechanic for people who play a lot and can learn to plan ahead and deal with it effectively.

It's a complete disaster for casual players. Most of my games are decided by the double turn largely because I only get to play 1-2 times a month max. I could decide to just not use it but starting to chop rules out of the game is something that I don't want to get into. I would try to play AOS more if it went away.

I have about 25 old metal slayers and the old Daemon Slayer. I am thinking of running them as Vulkite Berzerkers and a Grimwrath Berzerker respectively. Am I being a bit cheeky? I love these models and hate leaving them to rot.

Also I did my part.

Chaos Lord on Manticore with the -3 rend realm artifacts (shadow and metal) is suddenly able to hurt things. It really opens up options.

It's unclear regarding the Plaguetouched Warband. 

The highlighted part of the answer can be read on its own and it clearly rules out the use of the warband for Nurgle allegiance armies. If this is the case then only Grand Alliance Chaos armies can use it as Everchosen don't have the models (could be wrong here).

However in the context of the question about allies in battalions, it may not apply to PTWB because that doesn't use allies. It's for the sitatuion where you want to bring an Artillery detachment in a Free Guild allegiance army, that is clearly not possible anymore.

The former seems correct unfortunately but it needs to be clarified. Given that last week I specifically bought Chaos Knights and Blight Kings and converted up some STD heroes so that I could use this battalion I am pretty pissed off right now.
