I recently tried these rules, and I'm impressed. It is exactly what skirmish games needed  to be perfect in AOS. Thank you very much!!!

In the FAQ, it was stated that an Empire cannon cannot be used as an Ironweld cannon. Since that is about the most direct proxy I can think of, they simply do not officially allow proxies. Now my current store does not have issues with it, but I don't like being at the whim of a manager change. I have stopped conversion for now, waiting for CoS what they will need to become.

My beef with the general was not mainly about having to use the current one, nobody will ever use the empire captain as a general. It is that the only reason for deleting the general could be deleted, is a warscroll nerf in CoS.

Though negative, I have seen very few people advocating literal torches and pitchforks. GW has done nothing about communication to soothe anything.

Anyway, who's up for a guessing game what the models will be that get replaced by new plastic at launch of CoS?

My picks:

Empire captain

Cogsmith

Warden king

Rune lord

Sorceress

Black ark fleetmaster

This is for their modelled square bases, and for the Empire Captain because it needs to go.

Perhaps I get lucky, and the guard and crossbowmen sets get replaced by something more consistent with their factionmates. Less an overall, more a Landsknecht.

 

I think that nomad prince too

For the culling, just a manual count of units, taking out doubles. GW stated the units would go to legends, which means thier warscrolls will get canned.

For CoS, they already stated the warscrolls would be updated. Losing militia is almost assured, and the only reason for keeping this thing instead of the general would be that one or more of the options that general has are lost.

So freeguild General with shield is going to be lost? Won't they remake it?

I was converting 30 models to be militia, so that's a net loss. I liked the archers, and was trying to add them to cart but the stock was out before the site indicated as such. We lost ally options in Devoted and Ironweld.

The bigger loss is of course the general. Nobody gives him a great weapon, so if that's the only option, general sniping (which already was prevalent) you lost one save and the war banner. And yeah, the general we kept is horrible. There is a reason it was not on the warscroll, or in any army (as general, I could picture him in a greatsword unit, somewhere in the back). If it isn't replaced, GW is just stalling in trashing Freeguild.

We do not know whether Freeguild will keep an allegiance in the next GHB or if we need to use the city allegiance, and do not know what is in the book, so the only things we do know are negative. If there is no new plastic, we don't know the faction can get culled at any time, but I really suspect it will not last into 3.0. If there is new plastic, we have a better chance.

And no, we were far from hit the worst, Wanderers cut in half, Disposessed cut in half, Devoted and high elves mostly removed, those were the ones really hurt.

The most galling thing is the communication. Let's do a timeline

July 20:

"The arrival of Cities of Sigmar does mean a handful of Order units will be leaving the range and becoming Warhammer Legends later this year. We’ll be providing a full list of which ones closer to the time."

July 28:

Adding models to cart does not work, not yet marked as unavailable in the morning, but no longer available in the evening. Squatting watch is started on TGA. Reddit does not yet believe anything is wrong.

July 28-August 2:

More and more units becoming unavailable, War altar changed availability from no longer available to temporarily in the US to hide the squatting from being underway.

August 3 0:00: All sets now discontinued to "Last chance", New Zealand has a banner up and mailed a list, silence for the rest of the world.

August 3: 11:00: Banner up and mail sent for the rest of the world, the latter not with a list, but a general description. By this time over half of the models were gone. Models already out of stock worldwide were still 

August 3: 21:00: Gencon reveal of more Space Marines

August 4, somewhere in the afternoon, the last loremasters were gone.

August 5: Banners down from GW site. 27 warscrolls are affected, in 29 boxes. 

 

So, neither a handful of models, nor a list provided beforehand, and "later this year" meant in two weeks.

The thing that bothers me the most is the warscrolls changing, because I recently started a Hallowheart army and i have already build almost all the army, which is collegiate arcane and freepeoples.

Edit: By the way, where did you see the thing abaout warscrolls?

I mean, that is why I don't go to tournaments, which is a bit sad when you think about it. Fortunately there's plenty else in the hobby to keep me occupied and enjoying myself. 

On a more positive note, I think the freeguild crossbowmen have a warscroll that actually fits glade guard reasonably well (at least, nearly as well as their old one, which wasn't exactly elite to begin with). So if keywords etc stack up in the new book, which I'm hopeful they will, there are definitely ways forward.   

I'm actually playing a narrative event in October  that I am using to determine the path I take next. So I may go down the free cities route, or a completely different one, depending on the outcome of the games in that event. Looking forward to it. 

You have a Harrowhall army? Have you put much together yet or are you waiting for the book?

 

I started a darkling coven army this March, but I hated their warscrolls, then I tried Wanderers and when I discovered free cities from firestorm in April, i bought the box that contains the firestorm book, which I found in a local store (I felt really lucky lol). Then I started building  a Halloheart army, and I recently finished my battleline units (100 models) and my 4 heroes on foot. The only models left are a celestial hurricanum and a luminark of hyish, and I hope that I can still use my list with the new battletome and that they don't change the warscrolls a lot 😅.

Edit: I will upload some photos, so you guys can see my models

I probably will end up doing that. I freely admit I'm whinging, although there are *some* good reasons for it:

A) I don't know what I'll be able to use them as, and the uncertainty is stressful

B) I've had bad experiences with people in the community being arsey about proxying/base sizes etc, and it would be nice not to have to worry about that and just play

C)  It's still depressing to have spent two years building an army and painting it to a (for me) high standard only for it to get TK'd 8 months later. 

I understand your points. I feel the same about the first point, but the answer is to be a bit patient. About the second, whenever someone has problems with proxying, I just don't play with him, people with that point of view is just silly. Finally, It would feel like you if I were in your position, but I believe that it will be resolved the moment this battletome comes, because I am sure you will find a way to use your army. Anyway, I would love to know about your progress with all of this and I hope we keep in  touch!

After 2 years of careful collecting and painting, I had enough models for my first 2000pt game against Nurgle this week.

I thought I played well, and got a fair share of luck on my dice rolls. Didn't win, but at least the game was interesting, and I felt with a small boost of competitiveness from Cities of Sigmar we could at least compete enough to have fun games at club level against all but the very top-tier armies. 

I also base quite a lot of narrative around the various heroes. 

Two days later, that 2000pts is reduced to 1090. Disappointed is an understatement. 

And yeah, I know they will limp along for the next year or so. But managed decline isn't much fun, particularly when you're not starting from particularly high up the tree in the first place. 

 

 

 

 

 

Why don't you use them with other rules? Once Cities of Sigmar is out, you could use your army with the rules from this battletome. You could, for example, use them as free peoples or something like that.

[AoS 2 - Cities of Sigmar Discussion]

I think there is always the option of using those models that have no rules with rules of other models. In fact, my army is a mix of elves and humans, but I use them all as free peoples. Another example is a guy I played with that used tomb kings as legions of Nagash, or another that played bretonnians as flesh eaters, like if the army were the ilusion that themselves were living. People need to realize that although we like a game organized by a company, we need to be inteligent consumers about the product that they are selling us.
