  1. Cheers @Mitzy! When do we find out which coalition we're part of?
  2. I'm churning out top hats for my gobbos at a rate of knots!
  3. Absolutely love this. I wanted to buy both an arachnarok and a dankhold but they wouldn't really fit with my squiggy army. This however is an idea that needs to be stolen, even if it never makes it to a table!
  4. Yeah turns out the thing that looked like a blurred out centipede is actually the Dankhold Troggoth. You can see it more clearly looking back at it now, the bit somebody missed out when circling it is the big statue hammer thing it carries.
  5. Yeah it got FAQ'd so you only get Grand Alliance abilities plus the Firestorm abilities. Should be on the community site under the Firestorm book FAQ
  6. I like the broken shackle artefact for a general on griffon. You can retreat and charge, and do it all while flying. Charge into a random mook screening unit, next turn retreat over the unit and then charge into squishy stuff behind!
  7. The 'No longer available' happened with 40k Ork Boyz too. It was just because they were being repackaged into a box with new art and 32mm bases. Seems to be that GW treat them as a separate SKU and therefore make the entry no longer available before replacing it with a near identical looking webstore item later on. Of course doesn't mean those squigs will come back, I think most of us are hoping for plastic versions to drop!
  8. https://warhammerworld.games-workshop.com/warhammer-40000-vigilus-weekender/ That's the last weekend of November. Hard to tell if it's try it out ahead of pre-ordering or whatnot.
  9. Not a great photo but might give you a rough sense of scale vs other FW greater daemons. This was from Warhammerfest.
  10. Knight Azyros? Only a temporary +1 most likely, but fly him up within 10" of something and there's another bonus. And a couple more mortal wounds available from him too.
  11. Isn't the hero on a horse just a general on horse?
  12. It's not coming before the end of October I'm afraid. You've got Rogue Trader, Beasts of Chaos, Nightvault and Speed Freeks due up til the end of October.
  13. I'm surprised nobody's tweeted anything already. Or my Twitter app is trash.
  14. Stormcast and Nighthaunt are of course in the starter box. Moonclan and Tzeentch are just the first 2 expansion warbands.
  15. At Nova I'd expect Nightvault to be shown off with the scenery alongside the Moonclan and Tzeentch warbands. Maybe some focus on the funky new magic mechanics in it too.
  16. The Underworlds Squigs haven't changed in style. They're still definitively 'squiggy'!
  17. @Tiger Nah, I just had a very interesting conversation today! @Mr. White Try tzeentch! Mish mash warband that one.
  18. There's definitely a moonclan warband coming mid Octoberish, a week or two after the new set. 7 moonclan grots (with mushrooms on them of course) and 2 squigs. This Troggoth isn't with them though...
  19. I personally think the Stormcast Ballista is better than all of the Ironweld artillery. It's only 100 points which is cheaper than the Ironweld stuff and is more survivable due to the combined profile and cover bonus. The range is better as well and it just gets really good when the enemy gets within 18". Anything you can do to give them a bonus to hit is great. Only thing is, that likely cuts down from 4 ballistas in a 2k list, to 2 and an Ordinator. I'd imagine odds wise, you're better with 4 than 2 and a +1 to hit bonus.
  20. Big metal coal powered chaos mammoth could be a fun conversion project. People are saying they're pretty broken ruleswise too
  21. The weekends for AoS2's release were already marked as green days (used to be red days...) for GW store managers before the Adepticon slip. They matched up pretty well to the 40k 8th ed release schedule too.
  22. Thanks! That makes the changes to Free Peoples a lot less restrictive than I feared. Somebody either here or on the Facebook was talking about carrying a 12" plate around to ensure all their units sat under it. Option B makes more sense because if you take 30 guard, 30 handgunners and 30 crossbows for example in Option A, trying to fit them into a 12" bubble would be a nightmare! Optino B still restricts things compared to before but it's a lot more manageable.
  23. This is the bit I get confused with when it comes to wholly within as it seems 99% of the time it's a unit wholly within x inches of a model and that's nice and simple. When it's 2 units wholly within x of each other, does that mean that each model of unit A needs to be wholly within each model of unit B? Or as per the example above, unit B needs to be wholly within just one model of unit A and all of unit A wholly within one model of unit B? Bit awkward to explain but hopefully the below diagrams will help.
  24. Peachy has done a video that should by help. I'm currently looking at a couple of Stormcast Ballistas personally for artillery (Only 100 points!), I might add in a Helblaster too for some random fun.
  25. I think this is now the way I'm heading towards with the Great Company changes. Only difference for me is probably sticking with sword and board for the small Guard unit and use them to go and sit on an objective or act as a small screen for some allied artillery. Saying that, after a Griffon general to run around with the Demigryphs and other cavalry, there's only 190 points spare for something like a Battlemage and endless spell. I could be tempted to throw in a Knight Azyros for even better shooting and leave some points spare for an additional command point. If we didn't have to take the Outriders and Pistoliers, I'd be much happier!
