So after more then 20 games for FS I have some suggestions 1 General Idea Runes without diceroll 1) +1 rend; +2 rend(empower) 2) -1 rend to enemy attacks; -2 rend to enemy attacks(empower) 3) +1 tohit; 6s tohit autowound(empower) 4) +1 towound; 6s towound deal 1 mw on top(empower) 5) +2 to move; +2 to charge(empower) 6) each time model suffer wound roll a dice and deal 1 mw on 5+; deal mw on 4+(empower) Rune empower heroic action can be used by heroes on himself or on any friendly unit wholly within 12 inches. All heroes should get +1 wound

It will be strange if we will not see anything for Slayers other then 1 foot hero.

This and the idea that GW could do 3-4 new units for FS from that warband (female FS with shovelspears, Tamer with littledroths, new runefather type of hero, 3 man elite unit of scalecrackers) instead putting all of this concepts in one unit is saddens me the most.

For some reason first thing that comes to my mind is Skaven clan Moulder monster...

I think more like good old anvil of doom type of diorama unit. Priest with assistant and 4 hearthguards moving this construction into the battle. I think that the main idea is that slayers doesn't have any work other then fighting and collecting ur-gold. Old slayers was an adventurers and in AoS they feels like too settle and too static. Then I ask myself would Grimnir be happy to see how his sons doing thing my unswear is no. Then I think about slayers two words comes to my mind - honor and vengence. Being all-out mercs doesn't help me to like them also.

As far as I'm aware only some Barak-nar Kharadrons and Barak-Mhornar not very happy. Most of the Kharadrons sees more oportunities in Grungni return and it looks like code will have alot of changes in resent future.

You mean Khorne, Slayers and Kharadrons?

This gives me hope that we will see 1w mortal infantry for MoN army.

I will add rhinox/mournfang dualkit, new small beasts(sabres, vultures, gnoblars) and maneaters to the list ofc.

Gotrek is not a fyreslayer but he is duardin with ur-gold rune in him and avatar of Grimnir. So he could lead fyreslayers.

It's not the right place to speak about rules but Redeploy says "unit that recieve this command" so technically units inside the ship doesn't recieve this command

Not gonna lie, no unleash hell after redeploy just sucks.

I think that all players want that. The problem is that if you will have book for each faction (even minor) at some point they will start to blend one in another. For example we have FS and basically a mirror DoK. So add devouted to sigmar faction in the mix and you will get 3 books that basically flashed out the same idea of religious zelots. With all honesty I believe that 2 cultures blending together could create 3 not 1. So from my standpoint it's much easy to manage 24 books with 3-4 faction in each then 72-96 books.

I would be more then happy to such level of synergy. Use your imagination. Boarboys could hit harder in IJ but move faster in BS and used differently. The same system could work in any soup army.

I can't agree. Main problem of souped armies that they are not really souped. It's just 3-4 separate armies in 1 book. They even doesn't have duo-keywords (IJ/BS for example). So I believe that proper soup could work but not what we have right now. I really hope that new IJ model will have some synergy with BS boar riders.

To be clear, unification is not failing. AoS have places where all duardins live in peace together. So adding option to field them as united force with it's own unique AA could be interesting. IMO if we consider that duardins will never be united in any way then Grombrindale have no real purpose. I doubt that GW will waste such a character.

It would be cool to have 3 maneaters vs 3 doomseekers warcry box. 3 elite ogor mercs vs 3 elite slayers with option to take both as min 3 unit in big AoS.

I hope that FS will get some update with new kits.

1) Anvil of doom as Katakros style diorama 2) Fyrequeen/Fyredaughter on palanquin with 4 hearthguards holding it 3) Firecannon/magmamortar dualkit 4) Youngflames - 1w base infantry (I see them as buffer non battleline unit. For each young flame unit player can pick one other unit as their sworn protector and gain bonuses being near it) 5) Elite unit of female warriors (more armour, more weapon options) 6) 6-7w Halfdroths blessed unit of monster heavy cavalry unit(magma spit, asid blood) 7) 3w - blessed infantry unit (something like StD chosen unit but with Magmadroths aspects) 8] 5w 5+ save 4+ ward Doomseekers units - something like elite unit of Grimnir worshipers. For each dead model +1 to dmg of their weapon 9) Drothling Chariots 10) Gholemkind infused with ur-gold runes

4 casts/unbinds/dispells 9 rerolls to cast/unbind/dispell per battle (1 for each book) 16-18 wounds 5+ ward/each ward of 6 return 1 mw to enemy unit within x" range 4+ save +3 to cast/unbind/dispell Can return half of slain summonable unit for command ability 400-500 pts.

I'm waiting Valaya too but from my point of view she will fit better as a release for "vs death" edition. Ofc if we consider that Grombrindal novels are cannon. 4ed probably will be more about Grungni and Chamon restoration, so Gholemkind would fit pretty well as a faction that worship him and also helps him to form Chamon in age of myth.

I think it's just the one of dispossessed faction like root kings. I feel that the third duardin faction we will get is Gholemkind to be honest. Something like powered by Grungni's magic living constructs. Would be interesting if they will have actual wizards and "synaps-like" ability.

What if they will be a part of Alarielle forces? Trees+Animals+Insects

It feels like we will see Gholem kind first as Grungni's main faction in Chamon and only after that Valaya as we move forward to Order vs Death edition.

Separate army and separate book is not the same. They can be separate armies in one book. As well as IDK for example. And more so both Malerion and Marathi have the same source of magic being both Shadow users.
