Ok guys, I can read the room loud and clear. Gotta push my friends in regards to WarCry again. 🫡

I'd really suggest trying out Warcry. The rules are really solid and it doesn't need RPG elements in there in my opinion. It's fun, fast paced, the dedicated warbands are quite well-balanced internally (unless you use min-maxed warbands made from AoS units) and still has a good amount of tactical decisions you can make. Best GW game IMO, especially now that it focuses on the entire AoS setting rather than just chaos.
I actually really hope the 3rd edition Warcry setting is not Blight City. We have so many city/ruins/ruined city focused terrain sets already, and the Gnarlwood with Seraphon ship parts was a big breath of fresh air. My personal hope would be a Skyport or Magmahold with threats from either above or below.
I would but my group needs a little push to be interested, hence why I hope for a new cool edition to help me with convincing. I still got a nice set of Cypher Lords. I'm a sucker for gloomy ruins and the like, so it wouldn't need a really creative setting for me but I'd be fine with lots of stuff as long as it's done well. Mordheim did have a really nice mood to it though!

In fact, it would be so easy to get a scenario like Mordheim now that we have Blight City across the realms...
Yeah, I mean that's something where the setting truly shines - they could have thousands of Mordheims. A cursed/corrupted/whatever backwater/formerly important town/city isn't a difficult thing to imagine in the Mortal Realms. Blight City might be too Skaven-centric, it might hinder its appeal (like focussing on just Chaos so much) to a broader audience but let's see what they come up with. I love the idea behind Kill Team but find the ruleset atrocious, I've heard only good things about WarCry but never played it, so I'd be happy to join that in a new iteration.

I like the one rumor talking about moving WarCry closer to Mordheim. That would be really cool, especially if they added some of the rpg elements of Mordheim to it.

You got banned for a month and the first post back you accidentally slip the language filter lol
Edit: Which is a compliment of sorts. Gotta respect the guts! (Even if I'm assuming it wasn't intentional)
I refrained from using my usual wording to describe the unfortunate news we've received. Didn't just turn ugly but it gets the point across well enough as I believe I've heard the phrase before. I don't think there's anything offensive in that.
I'm super-duper-gutsy though unless you put me on a plane, then I'm really quiet.

Damn, I get banned for a month and things turn ugly. I think this image sums up my thoughts regarding the removal of pretty new SCE models, Beastmen and Bonesplitterz. Those poor guys deserved way better. Hope 4th edition will right the wrongs of 3rd.
Skaven are at least something nice to look forward to.
FF7 Rebirth was awesome.-

you do understand violent misogyny is still a rampant problem IRL right? and DOK's gimmick is essentially "what if the tables turned and women oppressed men back" right?
it would be a shitstorm because it wouldn't be fantastical, compelling, or funny. it's fine if you want to be a heel (the wrestling role) on the forum, but come on now.
While I like women (well, not all, I don’t like all men either though) and never remotely hurt one and never will, I find it interesting that you argue that it‘s fine to hate on guys cause there‘s little misandry in real life, especially as it‘s currently rising (see all the memes of women saying society and they don‘t need men). It‘s a modern problem.
I get the gist of your argument and see your point (and I agree with it overall, violence against women is unacceptable) but in the super-inclusive world some try to create we should also have a good place for (white, old) men too.
All I see are deontological ethics applied around me, thinking they are doing good but ultimately not considering the final result. It‘s kinda like with the refugees we take in - people feel good for helping but now they‘ve killed 5 women in one single week and group-raped two (edit: in my hometown, Vienna, the apparently most livable city in the world (I call bs)). All in a week. So am I truly the one that should get a sermon?
Hell, I even manage to amicable relations with my exes, so I can‘t be a monster. 😋 But oh well, not really the place to discuss these things anyways. 👍

Genuinely im wondering how they will release malerions faction, because it stands to reason it would be around the same time slaanesh breaks free, because slaanesh breaking free is like a new edition level of event, yet it would be stormcast in the starter box so malerions faction would need to be released before that
Perhaps it will be in a cool new series of events like Dawnbringers? Then they could build it up!

warlocks are all part of the male-underclass in DOK, so if Krethusa is promising/seeing a better way than Morathi's cult, it makes sense anyone in the underclasses would join her. so yea, sensible continuation for DOK! but it's also pretty clearly to get rid of old model stock.
So there was more wisdom to my army of simps remark than I anticipated. 🤔 Nice, I‘m wise like Hansel and really, really good-looking like Derek then. I‘m amazing, and most of all modest! 😎👍

Morathi despises any males, she pretty much makes any males born to them weakened, stupid, they are often uses as sacrifices, their blood is drained for their riturals etc. Warlocks however are naturally born as warlocks and this means her magic has no power over them so she hates them most of all since she can not control them as much as the others.
Krethusa offers them a way to get away from Morathi who despises them and treates them horribly. It is also why her abilities can work on Shadowstalkers and Shadeborn as they also have some male models that are warlocks.Thanks for sharing your expertise on the subject, it was an interesting read! 🏆
I can’t help myself: imagine the shitstorm if GW had one of their male characters hate women and create inferior specimens! 🤭 Some individuals with bright hair would pop some veins for sure! 🤣

and now we know why the warlocks have been in so many DOK boxes... Krethusa makes them battleline 😂
What‘s the in-lore explanation? Female Sephiroth got an army of simps or something?
Least she got two wings so she doesn‘t have to fly in circles.

But I get your frustration as well... I dropped many messages. One says "I am here, ask what you need". Once others outside of the UK asked for stuff, then he edited that it was sending UK only. So it is a bit frustrating, but look at it on the bright side. At least we have chances to try getting them without having to pay for scalpers...
You also have the chance to win the lottery though. Or get cancer. I mean, I get it, a positive outlook is a good thing to have but frankly that group serves those that least need it. At least they‘re all in the UK, us outsiders can‘t even make a short trip there, so we have it much harder to get one. I‘m not gonna be thankful for being ignored or at best get told they‘re too lazy to send it outside the UK like one dude told me.
It‘s okay, I don‘t really need it despite digging it but event-exclusive minis are simply lame as heck, always have been. If I went the ebay route, I‘d pay something like 65 gbp for a single small mini. Not gonna happen. They gotta keep it then and find someone else.
I might sound like Aesop‘s fox now to people but I‘ve got a way too high opinion of myself to beg for some mini and be happy I get to beg or pay a ridiculous amount. I‘m not even bitter, it‘s about the principle - that annoys me much more than not getting the mini per se. Agreeableness is not always good for the soul. 🎻

I have to say there was a guy willing to send world wide. His paypal got too much money and got blocked. It is matter of time. I missed that guy by 5 minutes...
Okay, one's a good apple then.

I don't think this is fair at all. If he sells it through the facebook loot group he doesn't make a profit, as he is helping other community members. If he tries to sell it through ebay he will make a profit.
If GW allows this kind of buying, where it's very clear that it will be resold, why can't they sell the commemorative series online, even if it's only one day a year.
That loot group sucks unless you‘re in the UK. Multiple posts in there and no one can be bothered to send one of the rooks into another country when they gotta go to the post office anyways, it’s like 1 minute of extra work. Worthless to say the least… if GW now released a cool mini exclusively here I wouldn‘t pick it up for those guys either. Thankfully for them this scenario is impossible.
GW sucks for that kind of ****** too, why have the best CoS mini be that hard to get?
They also still also owe me my Warhammer+ year 2 mini after claiming they‘ve sent it twice. Strangely when I order something it always arrives. Guess I gotta demand a refund!
I don‘t care if I rant, that‘s all on them.

Why not ?
A named character or named character hero squad (like they love doing now), at least one hero (dwarfs are short *ahem* the right size so the sprue should be smaller than a mounted hero so you can have 2 for 1), a basic melee unit, a basic ranged unit, a modest centerpiece like a war machine. Maybe an elite unit if you’re feeling fancy.
This is certainly enough to build a subfaction around.
Naturally, due to your short stature, my joke flew right over your head! Read my last post again or it'll mutate and grow legs (chicken legs obviously).
I feel like there should be a whole short chapter about me in your self-help booklet! I deserve this and much more, perhaps a shiny golden crown!-

They certainly hope for it, but they‘ll never be Darkoath sized! 🫶

These should have been Beastmen.
Put beastmen heads on them and you‘ve got an army of furries at least! Slaanesh might approve.

Damn, no one in the facebook group wants to send the steel rook to Austria. GW should make such models available online, don‘t have the time to fly over for a mini and I won‘t pay 50+gbp on ebay to some scalper. 🤬😤
It‘s not that I need the mini, technically it’s not Tzeentch, but there‘s certainly room for improvement in such situations! Maybe male it possible to buy them if you‘re a WH+ subscriber

I can't say I agree 🙂 . The focused set of enchantments are so great, that I mostly ignore them or forget them. Same with every dismounted character 😉.
While StD has a huge amount of warcry bands, they aren't really useable and are more of a gimmick. Their strength are the visuals, but rulewise they are a mess. I.e the darkoath savagers. The proven have +1 damage, but they are on a 28,5 mm base like the gloryseekers who do less damage. Than the wrathtouched (aka Wolverine) is on a 32mm base, but has the same amount of attacks/damage output as the gloryseekers and thus weaker than a proven who is on a smaller base. I wouldn't have a problem that all those warcry bands are removed and that there is good Darkoath infantry set that can work as a proper unit.
Sadly the diversity within the AoS StD is a gimmick, it's show only. It's not comperable with how a player can make a WoC army his own.
The special characters for WoC will come with the Arane journal and campaign books. If you are in special characters ofcourse.
Yeah, StD got a lot of fat basically. Plenty of pretty useless units that serve little purpose, kinda like SCE. I figure the Warcry will really just stay as extra units to collect but Darkoath are probably going to be more like the marauders of old; a viable second branch. I hope that‘s it now for StD though; other armies need stuff more.
I like what they‘re getting though! While I‘ll always be a fan of heavy armor in StD, these new models look really good.

So after watching the video I don't think this is a unit but just a single model.
However it just may be big enough and anatomically close enough to use for a second marshcrawla sloggoth conversion 🤔 to break up monotony.
It'll get better rules next edition, right?... right?... 😬
Looks like a cleric beast minotaur... at this point I'm convinced the design studio plays Fromsoft games.

In order to mask their homage, they‘ve called him Dewey. That way they can say „THIS IS DEWEY“ and nobody can accuse em of stealin, yo.

That goose is hopefully an agent of Tzeentch. I'm not even kidding. I want a goose in my army.

Yeah, just give him any other rules than the ones he's got ATM. He's more or less a tax at this point, must be a new ploy of the green party to make things more expensive!

The Rumour Thread
in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Posted · Edited by MitGas
What I‘ve always found strange was that GW created Ogroids instead of making Ogors or Minotaurs, both would‘ve filled that spot and they combined them. Fimir with some adjustments could‘ve worked too.
I could now imagine classic Ogors (as their own faction and not part of CoS or something) to get removed as well and GW just keeping more bestial or unique variants of the Ogor concept around after removing Beastmen. Beastmen will live on in the aligned Chaos forces (I bet we‘ll see Khorngors and Pestigors now), so they‘re not completely gone but I think it‘s not surprising that people are less confident in GW keeping a couple of factions (or part of those factions) around, so there will be lots of similar rumors making the rounds I bet.
