This is somewhat of a dilemma for me. On one hand I would enjoy the variety in one army and the extra viability of currently underused units, but on the other hand with the way GW has taken these factions I would like to see what they can do with each theme when isolating it and focusing on expanding it. For example, Firebellies on their own are a completely worthless faction, but what if they were fleshed out with a cool pacific islander theme? Aleguzzlers are a useless faction, but what if they were made to be an army entirely of giants, similar to Imperial Knights in 40k? Spiderfang and Troggoths can be fleshed out easily as well, both have strong themes. Greenskinz are quite a unique GW specific design, but I would be fine if Gitmob were rolled into them, as well as Maneaters being rolled into Gutbusters. Skaven are more of a candidate for a merged force in my eyes but they can still do a lot with each clan on their own.

Any specifics about beastmen?

That's a good idea, his demigryph was a brilliant sculpt and quite large too, made for a nice and unique leader model. Interesting that you mentioned Facebook, I hadn't considered it would be much of a hub for AoS discussion. Would you mind posting the link to the poll on there? The bigger the sample size the more we can get the message across that we want some of our models to return.

Oh that's a great idea, looking forward to the end result.

Ah, interesting, but kind of a shame as I think it would have been cool if the Legion was based in Ulgu, possibly because of exile similar to how Astragoth had exiled Drazhoath to the southern Dark Lands in Fantasy. Somewhat offtopic but still relevant to the Legion, I posted a poll about what models the community wants back that I will send to Forge World as they said they are receptive to feedback on this issue of bringing back old models. It has the Skullcracker, standalone Bale Taurus and Siege Giant on there. Feel free to drop a vote. https://strawpoll.com/kbs7ddr3

I think you can ally them in, they just don't show FW stuff in non-FW sources. For example the Mourngul wasn't mentioned in the Nighthaunt battletome, but you can still use it.

We should ask them if they intend on bringing our Skullcracker and Giant back, now that we've been confirmed to be supported.

Same dilemma I share. I think if I do get into Stormcast, I'll grab them separately for the customization and completeness.

I was thinking about this well and I believe that the wording indicates that the Chaos Dwarf race as a whole originates in Aqshy, but the Legion of Azgorh still exists as its own faction of the Chaos Dwarfs and they have based themselves in Ulgu. If you guys didn't notice, they also rolled back the "Zharr Goroth" keyword to "Dawi Zharr."
