    They always had it, both crossbowmen and handgunners. It was the piper rules who gave them this ability as per Grand Alliance Order Battletome.

    You are right, confused me, that they made it a new ability like that, wish the Crossbowmen still had it, only painted 10, so guess the 8/10 more I've build, will meet with my knife to get guns instead.

    I’ve only played a handful of ME games but I’ve been thinking Magmadroth and a runesmiter to deepstrik a unit (although I’m not 100% clear we can use the runesmiter deployment). If not, might need an allied wizard and soul scream bridge (which seems overcosted currently).

    You can deepstrike with Runesmiter, just need him and the unit to be in the same group, so when time comes to set the up by the battleplans rules, set them aside and deploy on your next movement phase as pr usal.

    Painting question. I'm trying to achieve the Vostarg Lodge look, but the metal is throwing me off. According to all of the guides it's Retributor/Liberator Armour in the same way you paint Stormcast. The problem is in those guides the end result is inevitably a lot brighter and... well, gold than on most of the website/Battletome pictures, where it seems a more toned down than that, almost a bronze or copper colour. 

    Any suggestions?

    Try retributer armour and then shade it with reikland fleshshade

    They are not repackaged. If that would be the case, the last sentence would not be "They're going fast and they're not coming back" in the email sent after half of the models were already sold out.

    If there were new sculpts for these models, it would have made sense to display them at GenCon. The next chance will be at CoS release.

    If there are no models at CoS release, they've made clear that that book is just a temporary way to milk more money, but they won't support any of the armies in it long term.

    Perhaps, we will learn the way of it soon enough. I hope they pulled the free people mounted general to replace him with one on a demigryph.

  5. Perhaps people just buy up kits now, before they can't get some of them anymore? 

    Myself have just bought enough for a meeting engagement list for a club escalation league, so was nice to see the new tome revealed after I made the decision to go Free People.

    I don't know if you had noticed but Mausoleum is a bad field to accompany Corvus Cabal.  The Mausoleum is flat with nothing to climb to,  that'd make 3 of their abilities useless.

    I know, plan to pick up as many terrain packs as I can afford, as my primary game is AoS and don't have terrain of my own.

    I guess I should look at it like that! I do have the starter set, hysh gang and the mausoleum set on order so plenty to occupy me for a week!

    Starter set and mausoleum for me too, but only really intereste in Corvus Cabal of the warband shown for now.

    Can't wait until next week. Probably my most anticipated warband!

    Look at it way, if you got the starter set, then you have a week to build the terrain and read rules, before you get them and can build em. Atleast that is how Iam distracting myself from them not being in my hands at the same time as the rest.

    I know since they didn't get points in the GHB they aren't likely to be allowed in tournaments but this is filth and I thought I'd share. 

    Looking at the screenshot I'd actually change the prayer out to Prayer of Ash for a slightly higher Shardfist Pelt chance. 

    Still though, 3 drops, plenty of firepower, Vostarg run and charge and big first turn move, and then the extra attack from the kinband. Idea is to run the mags together, using the general to give the shardfist runeson reroll hits and use ranged attacks. Plenty of 1st turn command points and some cheeky blocking tricks with the wall. 

    What do you all think?

    The new matched play rules in the GHB 2019 says you can only buy 1 command point :)

    I always take crossbowmen in blocks of 30 or not at all. 1 casualty and the double shot ability is lost. Most armies have magic and some (Nurgle, Seraphon) have unlimited range and can pick your boys off and take away buffs. 

    In normal 2K game I can see the need, but in meeting engagement, the best you can do is 2x base unit size.

  11. Starting a new army and are 90% sure it will be a Free People. It will be made to 1k meeting engagement games, right now Iam looking at this list and would like feedback on it. 

     

    Allegiance: Free Peoples

    Mortal Realm: Chamon

    SPEARHEAD

    Witch Hunter (40)- Pistol & Silver Greatsword- Allies

    10 x Freeguild Handgunners (100)

    MAIN BODY

    Freeguild General (100)-

    General-

    Command Trait : Indomitable  -

    Stately War Banner-Warhorse- Artefact :  Hydroxskin Cloak

    20 x Freeguild Guard (160)- Militia Weapons

    20 x Freeguild Crossbowmen (200)

    20 x Freeguild Guard (160)- Milita Weapons

    10 x Freeguild Handgunners (100)

    REARGUARD

    5 x Freeguild Outriders (120)

  12. Tried to make a 1k meeting engagement list, haven't received the GHB19 yet, as I ordered the warlord edition from GW. 

    Lodge: Greyfyrd

    Spearhead

    Rune father - battle-scarred veteran, Axe of Grimnir

    Grimwrath Berzerker

     

    Main body

    Battlesmith - The Nulsidian Icon

    10 Hearthguard Berzerkers - Poleaxes

     

    Rearguard 

    Runeson on Magmadroth 

     

    Tried this in a fight against Grand Host of Nagash, did well and won on points, but had to kill a unit of 20 Grave Guards twice and that was not fun 😅

    We played with a single objective in the middle of the board, deployed all from long edge. Took the points and win conditions from a YouTube video to try it out. 

     

    Let's hear what you would take in a 1k meeting engagement list!
