They set up seperate from the character. They are two seperate units. Is there a rule that says I MUST deploy all my units?
So you're choosing to eat the cost of those units, just to go first?

I dont think you can use him in the battalions though. At least with pestilent throng the requirement is Great Bray Shaman but not the keyword, the warscroll.
Side question: Is there anything in the rules that mandates I deploy a unit on my army list? Like what If I REALLY wanted to go first, but had grashrek and his bois. Could I simply choose NOT to deploy the despoilers?
Well unless they had an ability that lets you set them up at a different point, there's really no way to do what you want

Bonereaper is a compound word of bone and reaper, so OBR is technically not wrong either.
Yep haha, same with SCE for Stormcast. Sometimes you just gotta use 3 letters instead of just the 2

Hello guys,
I have a question that I feel stupid to ask. Been looking around (here and on reddit) for answer, but nobody seems to be asking it. Apologies, English is not my native tongue.
My question is regarding the allies that some Cities can take (Stormcast, Sylvaneth, Kharadron). It says "Only 1 in 4 units can be [faction name]".
Does it mean you can take, for exemple, one Kharadron unit and three TempestEye non-Kharadron units? Or does it mean that you first need to take 4 non-Kharadron Tempesters, and then you can add a fifth unit which can be Kharadron?
Thank you very much in advance, I've had this question for a while and it has been quite a problem for list-building.
It means you take 3 non-KO units, and 1 KO unit.

What was so offending/unsettling/Pincorrect in the Fimirs' lore?
Basically in WFHB, I think female Fimir are sterile so how they reproduce is raid human villages and take human women and use them to reproduce

Another day another squatting. This just keeps happening
Is everything thats not a best seller eventually going to be squatted until we just have storm cast vs space marines.???
Losing tamurkhan is a tragedy.
Ah yes, this sentiment really makes sense in a year where we had like 4 separate battle box releases and like 12 battletome releases, none of which had anything to do with Stormcast.

While OBR reads to me as very likely to be extremely strong out of the gates, I agree that we'll have to spend some months seeing them in action before we can have anything beyond a theory. What I'd like to know, however, is what people think about the difference in apparent power level between Ogor Mawtribes and OBR, since they were released simultaneously.
It seems likely that on some level GW intentionally made OBR to be more powerful than average so that they could sell more models, and while Ogor Mawtribes is a good battletome, I would contend that it wasn't designed to match the capabilities of the OBR. It makes me wonder, 'Is that release strategy fair to the players of the 'less favored' factiosn?', and subsequently, 'Does it matter if it's fair?'
I know that GW is a miniature vendor first and foremost, but I have a fear that the mindset of placing a hand on the scale of power between armies as a tool to sell miniatures is - or has the potential to be - quite bad for the game in the long run. I don't mean to disparage GW or fearmonger, I just love this hobby and its community and want to see it flourish in a healthy way ❤️The whole "GW gives stronger/better rules to new armies to sell more models" doesn't reaaallly hold muster; Nighthaunt, for example, aren't exactly at the top of the competitive rankings despite being a brand new army from last year. Stormcast are a bit older but still generally new, they're the flagship of AoS, and they're not at the top of the heap competitively either.

the parts to make them do come in feast of bone, but the instructions to do so do not. Figuring out which parts of what arms go together without instructions can be a bit tricky, so take your time.
Yeah that was slightly annoying about the box; the instruction booklet is great but it's missing all alternate instructions (Harbingers, Immortis Guard, Scraplauncher). The other 2 aren't really an issue since you can find their old instruction booklets by googling but the Immortis Guard aren't out yet so no instructions haha

For everyone talking about terrain/scenery earlier, today's Stormcast episode featured a GW designer to talk AoS scenery

What do we think about dates for the next preview then? I reckon they might leave it a few weeks now, especially if it is going to be a mid December release
It's a smaller release so I think all the previews will come when they do the normal previews leading up to preorder; if the 14th is the right release date then we should start seeing previews Sunday the 1st

So, why should push fit warriors be cheaper? They are still warriors. Heck, if anything, they should cost more since you don't have to do so much work on your own to get them on the table.
Well generally there's less customization with push-fit, and the one case we have so far of GW selling both push-fit and regular, the push-fit ones ARE cheaper. Push-fit Sequitors come out to $5 a model ($15 for 3) and normal Sequitors come out to $6 a model ($60 for 10).

On the positive side of the models being push fit to start off, that should mean the box is cheaper.
Right? Right? Bueller?
Leak said $95 USD which is cheaper than the new CoS boxes ($100) and more expensive than the current StD box ($90). We're basically swapping out a Chaos Sorcerer Lord, a Chaos Chariot, and 2 Chaos Warriors for all new sculpts and the new mounted Chaos Lord, for $5. To me that does seem like a pretty good deal, but yeah don't quite love push-fit. Let's hope it's like the Sequitors which have a push-fit SKU and a normal plastic SKU

Are the Beastgrave starter warbamds yo be sold separately?
If they follow past patterns then they should, but I'm not sure how long it usually takes for them to put them out separately.
-
Oh shoot just remembered the spreadsheet leak listed the SC box as $95! If that's true, that's a great price, even cheaper than the new CoS SC boxes

Yeah I think $100 seems like a pretty decent price for them, since I'm assuming the new sculpts are gonna command a higher price than what the current sculpts are selling for

All the new sculpts (Warriors, Knights, and the Lord on Chaos Iguana) are going to be released together in a new Start Collecting box. Lovely!
Yeah it's awesome, as long as the new box isn't like hugely overpriced it'll be great being able to buy all the new sculpts with some savings

Just now, Charleston said:
They managed to keep the classical old design and improved it in depths of detail and terms of dynamic pose. Love it as it also seems to be a range that will go well with the current sculpts. I can also imagine that there is a bit more behind it, but I will post about this into the rumour thread.
btw, Ogroid and Kittycat are propably new units for us, too.
Yep they mention in the article that the beasties are getting warscrolls that StD can use

Now the big question: how will those new warriors/knights will mix with old ones???
I feel like they HAVE to, unless they like really change up the weapon profiles or something? The old ones will definitely stand out in comparison to the new ones if you have both on the table (which I'm gonna end up having haha)

They mention the Warcry stuff in the battletomes, wonder if they're gonna expand their rules in the book or just still use the already released warscrolls

Lord on Manticore is very unlikely to vanish. More likely if the new lord is mounted its replacing the finecast lord on a horse.
So you think it'll replace this one instead of the Manticore one? I can kinda see it based on the looks of the revealed model

New Warriors, Knights, and Lord...so so good

All those new StD models look so good, really make mine obsolete! haha

1 minute ago, GeneralZero said:
I'm in the same boat...and I like my warriors. I expected something else, but I admit that those warriors show their age.
Yeah the sculpts themselves are good but they're definitely a little boring pose-wise. But, still, pretty sure I can still use mine so it's not a huge loss or anything, just a little envious!

That's semantics though, if you have to take them and they can't be taken separately, and the only cost is a combined cost, then...well, it's still wasted, you're still eating the cost. Because you can't take them separately, the cost of the despoilers is baked into the 140 regardless of what the WSB says...because you have to take them.
