I think 1500 should be the norm. But you'll have a hard time convincing most long-time GW customers.

Because then you might as well just lay down, roll over, and die. Do you want to just let them kick you in the head again and again without so much as a peep? If loudly bitching about their immoral practices is all we have, then take advantage of it. Don't simply accept it. Once you learn to live passively with it, you risk becoming its advocate. This goes for many things in life. I'm continually astounded to see how many big names in the AoS community perpetuate this idea that we shouldn't be surprised by price increases, therefore we should stop complaining. This is wrong. GW is wrong. Big business is wrong. I won't accept this apathetic, servile attitude towards these massive companies that take advantage of all of us, including their own employees. If there are people willing to pay any dollar amount to get their plastic crack and continue to feed money into the company's deep treasury, so be it; but I'll never stop calling it out, and I'll never try to meekly justify it.

Games Workshop have increased their prices at least once a year for the past 4 years. I have not a shred of sympathy or understanding to spare for their massive, immensely profitable corporation. There are plenty of other more reasonable miniatures makers out there I'll be patronizing.

That was probably one of the saddest reveal shows I've seen in ages, unless you specifically play Eldar. Even as a DoK player--no one asked for yet another elf foot hero. They don't need more heroes. And even if they did, why not a Khinerai one? Or something more extravagant? It's just the laziest type of model they could have made. No battletome announcements was pretty damning too.

I'm glad he's cheap. With Underworlds warbands, all you can hope for is that you don't feel bad putting them on the table. This guy might make decent chaffe that can hit back to some extent if necessary.

I've switched over to playing Legion recently, if that's any indication of how I feel about Warhammer and GW as a whole right now.

It's almost like Games Workshop is terrible at balancing their own games, and slapping some red on the covers of their books and calling it 3rd edition wasn't going to change that. I've taken a step back from Warhammer and have finally been enjoying my hobby/gaming time again.

I've painted enough Sisters of Slaughter to know that whip elf is one of them, no question. Probably a Cursed City character.

Not by much. I'm looking at the two right now and the only differences are that the Eldar one has more gems and symbols. I don't see any reason why they couldn't redesign the model to work for both, like Belakor. Frankly it'd be dumb not to double dip on players' wallets. Now will they do that? I doubt it purely on the basis that GW relishes in disappointing me.

It would be an absolute crime if they released a big new Avatar model and didn't update its warscroll for both systems. It's just leaving money on the floor. DoK could definitely use a Monster unit that isn't Morathi.

The lore literally talks about holds ruled by Fyrequeens and warriors from all types and castes. They've simply chosen not to make any models for female dwarfs because early AoS just didn't think about inclusivity and they haven't been in a hurry to sculpt more models for their least popular faction. And no, I don't think we need another Warhammer race that's exclusively ruled by men, featuring only men. It actually goes against what we've been told in the worldbuilding, and that aside, it's boring and dumb. Hell, I'm still waiting for female ogres to show up. Give me warrior women or give me death.

Reminder of what the Fyreslayers could have had as a new hero type: 1) Fyrequeen (as mentioned in the lore) 2) Runeson riding baby/winged magmadroth 3) Flame spirit of Grimnir 4) Anything that doesn't look exactly like what they already have.

I'm actually a casual player myself, I don't do tournaments. But I also like to win games every once in awhile and can recognize when there are rules that fight against fun. I say it's in a poor state because, as a casual player, it doesn't give me the options I want to field the army I want. Only a single subfaction worth taking, terrible artifacts that aren't fun or useful, an allegiance ability that requires us to roll 4+'s plus additional rolls to even use it (it should just be automatic like everyone else's allegiance abilities), a centerpiece model that doesn't do anything useful in either iteration, and a single basic battleline option that's grossly overpointed and prevents the army from using any cool melee builds. To me, a well written book gets you excited to try a bunch of different things. There aren't many things to try with Kruelboyz unless you want to run a crippled, non-boltboy list.

I probably wouldn't hope for a Warclans book. The Bonesplitterz and Kruleboyz sections are really lacking. Ironjawz may have come out amazingly, but they're only a third of the book.

Kruleboyz only got nerfed in this FAQ. The amulet we needed to keep our squishy heroes alive is much worse now, and our faction artifacts are trash, so there's no good replacement. Shooting gets nerfed with unleash hell, so boltboyz are inherently worse as support. I'm not even disagreeing with these changes in principle, they needed to be done, but Kruleboyz really needed points drops to make up for these losses. Gutrippas not dropping is a travesty that means we'll see another 6 months of boltboyz gunlines. Gobsprak dropping 20 means nothing because he still does nothing. Kragnos is cool, for sure...but if you don't have him or don't want him, you're out of luck.

Wish Gutrippas had dropped in points; unfortunately this means Kruelboyz melee armies are still unfeasible. Continue the boltboy brigade! Very happy about the Ogor Mawtribes and Kragnos changes though. The Gloomspite drops are a nice gesture, but all of those warscrolls just need a sweeping second pass--hell, the whole book--which is hopefully what we see next year.

That's been the case, even before the new edition. Gutbusters were always the weaker side of the book. They aren't "Gloomspite bad" but there's a lot of things that hold them back.

And think about how good Plaguebearers are at 150. Same wound count, 5+ ward, Bravery 10, -1 to hit against missiles without a stupid conditional mini game attached, and they proliferate mortals just by existing. I still say 140, but I'd be okay with 150 for rippas. At least it wouldn't hurt my soul to put them into a list.

This is the one thing I'm hoping for in the Winter FAQ, a drastic points drop for these guys. They're so bad, but only because they cost 40 more points than they should.

That wording for the balance update screams "It's not done, it won't be coming in Dec. But don't worry, here's a surprise model reveal!"

Because it's probably one underpaid programmer who was given a hundred other tasks to do.

On the plus side, if it's Chaos, they sometimes sculpt models that only require minor adjustments to use in AoS.

Anyone else notice the App has Orruk Warclans trolls as allies?

A new Gloomspite book better be at the end of these Gitz comics.

I don't know what you're talking about. They had the guts to make an entire Halfling army. That's pure quality right there.
