What are opinions on Gyrocopters vs Gyrobombers for CoS armies?
-
What is the best option to build my arachnarok spider as? I will be using it in a mixed force with a bit of everything if that helps.
-
Update: the seller I bought from on eBay had to refund me because he couldn’t get it to ship it to me. So I guess I’m still searching.

@Oath Stoned We started this hobby at all most the same time, and we both have quite large collections of dwarfs, and it is hard knowing that so many of our models are now discontinued, but we have to hold out hope for the remaining line to get included, and possibly expanded upon later. At the end of the day we’re dwarfs, we never should give up. I’m holding on to all my dwarfs, even the old ones that have been discontinued. The ones remaining I will buy more of and make a cities of Sigmar army.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I got a grombrindal off of eBay. I had no idea it was still being sold on GWs website lol. Also I am most definitely also buying the Gotrek model.
-
I never got the chance to add this model to my collection, and when I went to buy one during the last chance to buy they were already sold out. Does anyone have one they would part with?

This doesn’t look great lads. I’m very disappointed, I held out hope that we would get our own tome right until I seen the CoS tome, and even after that I held out hope that we would be able to play a pure dwarf force. This is just awful though, I expected the quarellers and thunderers, but the cannon, organ gun, unforged, and warriors!? That’s most of my force of dwarfs and I guess they’re all just useless now. That’s really sad and I hope GW know that they’ve upset a lot of people by doing this.
With saying that this is going in the book, and will not be taken out until we get new models. So most likely never.
-
Yeah this is awful the more I think about it. I’m hoping this is a sort of temporary thing as well. If this turns out to not be temporary though, I vote we collaborate and make a tome ourselves.

I agree, it would be a bit weird to drop this new fluff seed and roll Dispossessed in with Humans. I could see this new faction as being sort of a crusading force led by Grungni. Rallying all the Dispossessed clans and possibly some of the other Duardin to reclaim their former Khazalid Empire from the enemy. The Dispossessed trying to repossess their homes. Like you said, new stuff like golems could be brought in and other new stuff. Grungni is finally getting out of his depression and helping his people. I just had a new idea for a chaff unit. Duardin Pilgrims, devote Duardin from across the realms rallying to Grungni. They could be modeled with bits of Fyreslayer and KO aesthetic nods to depict a far wide rallying. Just an idea I just had.
Grungni is the Pope. And I shall answer his call. Deus Vult Dawi!

You pretty much just listed all the reasons why they would do a combination tome. And it's likely to also happen with the Aelves, if they don't also get bunched in with a Free People\Cities tome.
The Dispossessed line is definitely big enough to have it's own tome and be expanded upon, I agree.. but I also think they fall too closely to standard Dwarves and would actually fit just fine in a "ragtag" tome instead of their own when there's already 2 unique dwarven IP's out there. They've shown to be "lazy" and do this with the Gitz, BoC, LoN just to name a few so, to me, it does make sense that they would continue this trend.
It likely is cheaper and faster to do as they won't need to include any new models (maybe a terrain piece?) and will get all of these broken factions more up to speed. I mean, I'll be honest I hope I'm wrong as it would cool to have them fleshed out on their own but... I just don't see it with how they've been doing every other book.I don’t agree. If they combined Dispossessed, free people, ironweld, and any elves, that would become a bloated mess of an army. Also they haven’t done this before like you say. Gitz, BoC, and LoN are not like this at all, they all were once a single army like they are now again. Free people and dwarfs have never been one army, and if elves were included that would put 3 armies together into one.
Also I feel one reason people are up saying we are going to get combined again is that during that interview they said, “Dispossessed would be included and the book itself won’t be called Dispossessed.” Well this is obvious. BoC weren’t called BoC before they got their book, neither were Gitz or LoN. They all had their small respective group names and when put into a battletome they got a new name labeling them all as something new. This will also without question happen to our dwarfs.
If I'm to guess the release for dwarfs will come out later next year most likely, and combine Dispossessed and the dwarf portions of iron weld. Like the fyreslayers we’ll also get some sort of endless spells, along with some sort of terrain piece. At this point I don’t see us getting a DoK style release with a couple new kits, but hey we can still hope for that.

What size and strength of rare earth magnets are you using? I’m about to buy some but am kinda stumped on this issue. Also for larger models do you simply apply more magnets or do you have larger, stronger ones for bigger models?
-
You could try to glaze in some purple on his robe yeah, I would go way thinner though then 50/50. More like 10/90 or something like that and add or coat let it dry, another, and keep repeating until you get the look you’re going for. Maybe keep a second damp brush handy to try and blend it in with the bottom.
As for the piece you missed I would just go over it if it bothers you, just did what ever you did with the rest of the robe. It might be a pain, but it would look better to you, and a helpful learning experience to not miss spots next time lol.
-
Even if it doesn’t have the dispossessed keyword, looks like a Warden King to me lol. Also yeah I’m most definitely pre-ordering this.

Hello to all the Longbeards! I have finally bought into Dispossessed with the Tempest Eye box (such a good value!) and I will most likely pick up one or two more. As a long time lover of all things Dwarf I can't wait to get them on the table top.
And a side note, I did my part on the Community Survey (Dispossessed Battletome please!)
Welcome beardling!
-
Just a quick question, has anyone based their heroes on 32s instead of 25s? I’m thinking of doing this so they stand out more and I can do more with the bases.

I’ve done my part!
Anyone else notice that dispossessed and ironweld arsenal are grouped together when selecting factions...?
I did and I mentioned specifically at the end “please update the Dispossessed” so if enough of us do this well it might speed it up or show them we want a separate tome aside from a free cities book.

Every Release there is a limited edition Battletome version and I always think, that it is a waist of money there is the same text in it. But if we get a Battletome I will get a limited edition Battletome, hopefully they give it a book of grudges look.
Yeah once we get a tome I’m preordering the limited edition one, along with a couple packs of dice (if they’re not too over the top), and the warscroll cards.

Being a big Dispossessed fan, I don’t expect anything to do with us tonight. I also don’t know where anyone is getting the idea that a combined dwarf faction will ever become a thing. It’s a dumb idea that as far as I can tell was started by NDA breaker a while back and now we now everything he said was worthless. Im fairly certain that when we do get a tome it will be standalone or combined with free peoples, and dare I say it, elves.

Awesome looks like a lot of fun. It’s almost always the same weakness I see in every battle report though.... we’re just too slow.

Yeah as much as I would like to see us get a bunch of new models I don’t honestly see it happening. I guarantee we will get terrain though. As all the new releases have been at least tome and terrain.

I like your paint job!
In a mixed Order list, I'd see the point yes. Though aren't there any nasty combos with Thunderers, Runelord, Warden and/or Dispossessed allegiance? Like hitting on 3+, +1 from thunderers> 20 , re-rolls 1, wounding on 3+, +1 from Warden King's command ability, rend -2 from runelord?
That's one third of your budget in a 1000 points game, and if they fall below 20 models, that's half the shoots... Ain't that a bit risky?
It would be yeah for 1000 points, I don’t think I would ever take them in 1000 point games, I only play 1500 and usually 2000 point games.

My favorite unit in our army rn is a block of 30 quarrellers, 60 shots can melt quite a lot of models, especially with some rend added from the runelord. I’ve taken out Neferata in one turn with a group of 30 of them.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I already have one built as a gyrobomber, but I think I want to build a squad of copters instead. If not solely for the reason that they are much faster.
