I just want to reiterate my support for a Duardin soup tome, one that includes Dispossessed & Ironweld as well. I am a very happy Mawtribes & Warclans player and see the benefits as far outweighing the negatives. You’ll still be able to field your singular allegiance, if you want to. But for those of us who want to reunite the Khazalid Empire and show these bloody usurpers what’s what, giving us that option is good for the game and good for all Dawi players as it will increase demand for kits and increase table-time and visibility/viability of the armies. Remember that only KO are currently popular. Fyreslayers are unpopular and Dispo/IW are stuck in neutral. A rising tide, if you will.

I think the issue is more that they think KO will get gutted as a result, with less time invested in their lore and mini creation.
You have no way of knowing that though. KO are popular: top tier on table, big sales, and have a series of novels. Not sure what the complaint is. They won’t get gutted (if by gutted, you mean squatted) and their lore isn’t going anywhere.

Spamming Cygors is a solid anti-Meta pick right now.

Does this have us in it? (on mobile currently)
Indeed and it’s very good

I’d expect Grombrindal too.

Shaggoth & Doombull & Beastlord are my new plastic priorities — they all need to be scaled up and made to look more twisted & terrifying!

I want to jump in on a bullgor and ghorgon army quite badly, but the models are so disappointing. I dont care about a box discount. Give me new sculpts and I'll buy the army at retail.
Bullgors are a little stale by the Ghorgon is awesome and easy to kitbash with Cygor bits.

I mean, 3.0 is said to heavily focus on Forces of Order reconquest of the realms
Then why can’t dawi retake their mountain Karaks back?
Proper Khazalid Empire of Mountains once again, “dispossessed” no more!
100% this. It will take a United effort of all duardin-kin to make this happen and it will be awesome! There are so many ways that this could work fluff-wise: Grungni is the Maker and can barter with the mercenary KO & Fyreslayers. Grombrindal is the warrior to lead the Dispossessed “home.” I would flip for a United Duardin vs Skaven battlebox stuffed with new minis. They don’t have to stay together forever: 4.0 can see them separate again. But while everyone complains about aelves, no one offers a proper lore solution for dawi— retaking the Karak’s makes the most sense to me. Otherwise, Dispo/Ironweld fade away in CoS, while FS remain unpopular and KO doesn’t get much new stuff for a few years cuz they are near-top of the meta.

I’m glad they spoiled it and saved me some valuable time/money, lol.

I’m hoping the Path To Glory rewrite mimics 40K Crusade. I’d totally join a local PtG league.
One thing I’d really like 3.0 to do is relaunch the AoS fiction line. It has been fairly dormant since Josh Reynolds left and most of what has been released has felt kinda random and disconnected to the lore-at-large. A lot of potential series got canned (or at least the pace of release is so slow it feels that way); even though Realmgate Wars was kinda meh, at least it felt tied to the game as played. I’d like a return to that.

Power creep for 9E 40K is kinda wild right now so I don’t see that changing for AoS either

I’m planning on running an insane Vargheists heavy, non-stop Deep Strike list. It won’t win me a ton of games but it’ll sure be fun to play:
Coven Throne, 310
Mannfred, 380
Vhordrai, 455
4x 3x Vargheists, 155 each
10x Skeletons, 85
Cogs, 80
1980pts

So I bought a box of Sepulchral Guard: 7 models; want to take it to 10 to run as a regular Skellie unit. The Wight King models could get rebased to work, maybe? Or I just gotta grab some loosies off eBay

Preach, rev.
If I could have three wishes, is probably spend one to get at least the option for a monopose regiment of all "standard" troops.
Agreed, I like clean lines on the table, which is why I probably gravitate so hard to former WHFB armies like BoC, Ogors, CoS.

I’d have liked another year or 2.0 given the pandemic shutdown’s effect on in person play: two of my armies got new Tomes recently (Seraphon & Soulblight) that I haven’t even gotten to try yet. I think in the rush to get every army a tome, they could’ve let the Meta settle and breathe a little before rushing into 3.0 — that said there are fixes needed and I hope 3.0 makes the game better, rather than worse.

Agreed all around. Fyreslayers are the Order Faction I want most to get a 2nd Wave/Relaunch and Ogors definitely need some updated sculpts for things such as Yehtees, Gorgers, Butchers and Slaughtermasters and the Gluttons, Ironguts and Leadbelchers could all do with updating even if it were just more dynamic poses instead of an entire rank and file army with the same posing.
Most of those models are from 2005 so I think 16 years is a long enough time for an updates.
I’m painting the army up right now and I personally love monopose: so easy to paint quickly. Ogor resin needs to be first, I think.

I wouldn’t take him over Gordrakk, at first glance, and I never take Gordrakk!

”Its painful because while it doesn't feel like this warscroll is actually very useful in destruction factions, BoC would kill for a hammer exactly like this.”
Exactly! He really ought to have been a Centigor God-beast. I’d run him in BoC, no sweat. For Destruction? He doesn’t read as that much better than Gordrakk or a FLoSH

So it looks like we are getting something after all:
-
If they don’t let all Behemoths count as more for objectives, there won’t be a point to bringing any, especially the ones with no shrugs that degrade quickly.

Would I be shunned if I used fenrisian wolves instead of undead ones?
Fits my Vampire Lord Headcannon better.
Also we need a new Grave Guard kit.
I plan on using Fenrisian as well

Soup is cool if it fits... soup is not cool if e.g. Ironjawz are said to kinda despise their lesser kin and suddenly they share a battletome with their most primitive relatives out of all orruks. Make zero sense. And it's not like people really mix and match those two subfactions either. I know the battletome is all in all in a decent spot but when I read that there's no room for new IJ units because the current ones work well together and then i play them all the time and see an army of clones, I'm not so sure...
It makes perfect sense: it is a Big Waaagh! All of Orruk kind unites for one; and if you don’t like that as a player, just run the separate, unique allegiance. Ironjawz & Bonesplitters have not been “merged.”

Tossed into the Mawpot! Soup Armies Thoughts and Feelings?
in Age of Sigmar Discussions

I dunno. From a lore and table perspective, if I see a pack of Magadroths charging me by land and Frigates bearing down on me by air with wave after wave of Hammerers and Ironbreakers behind with Grombrindal rallying the troops from atop the Anvil— damn, get chills just thinking about it.
