As someone with more Bonesplitterz than Ironjawz and Kruleboyz, I am gutted. I am double gutted that I cannot easily port them to old world because of the restrictions on savage orcs in old world list building. (Think it's one unit of each type per 1k points?)

New editions have always been June/July release dates. I think the only editions that haven't been were 40k & WHFB 7th editions (May and September)

Or it's just an oversight, and they forgot to add "-2024" on the end. Orrrr... GW has time travel capability and the books came out earlier this year in the other 2023 winter months per your definition!

You've got me there, but to pull from the 40k roadmap, World Eaters were listed as winter and came out in February this year. Wouldn't surprise me if the FEC box launched this side of Xmas, and the standalone battletome + dawnbringers book 4 released early 2024.

February is still winter. Although Slaves to Darkness was winter 2022 on the roadmap and came out January this year so you never know.

I agree, and don't think 8 is too far out of the realms of possibility, especially if they just make the old horrors kit purely for SBGL vargheists, to free up more design space for separate horror and flayer kits, and release dedicated models for the 3 courtiers+varghulf.

Summer starts June 21st so still a while to go

Beasts of Chaos, Flesh Eaters, and Bonesplitterz don't have any named non-Underworlds characters afaik

I have a request for some orruk mathhammer: how many mortal wounds will a wurrgog prophet do with his mask on average before he dies if you keep rolling? With a 4+ ward from glowin tattoos he could probably tank a fair few D6 mortals on himself

I genuinely despise heroic recovery as a destruction player. If you're death demons, starborne or stormcast it'll go off almost guaranteed, while it never goes off for you. Turns stuff that was already hard to kill, into something completely nutty. Should have been a flat 5+ for everyone.

Don't know which codex you have digitally but there's the Death Guard Plague Marines, and the CSM Plague Marines.

Bonesplitterz just need their resin heroes in plastic, boss onna pig, and plastic rogue idol (with optional Wurrgog rider). But I agree, if they don't get them now, they're not getting anything this edition and that stings considering they didn't get anything last edition either (Underworlds don't count). Savage Orruks and boarboys are from March 2011, not 2010.

What about a small souping where you borrow small amounts from other armies but it's not a united Duardin allegiance like Big Waaagh is for Orruks. All the cities Duardin are missing from the old WHFB feel imo are slayers, grudges, miners, and more shooting. Take the Vulkite Beserkers from Fyreslayers (maybe with an upgrade sprue for generic mohawks instead of the fire drake looking ones), call em Slayers and bring the Unforged back as a Mega-Gargant Slayer. That's slayers sorted. Just bring back the miners kit for miners. They were already plastic. Take the Arkanaut Company from KO (again maybe an upgrade sprue for bare heads) and that's a little bit more shooting. Give them a book of grudges / anvil of doom terrain piece, and something nutty like the old flame cannon and you're looking pretty set without running Magmadroths and Boats together. Just Mohawks and Pistols.

100% agree. As a Warclans player I think Bonesplitterz could use a little padding out too. The dream would be a plastic rogue idol kit, and for the idol to be a mount option for a Wurrgog Prophet. This kit could double up as a prophet on foot if you build it unmounted then. A dual kit for the Manual Weirdnob/Boarboy Boss would also be pretty cool. I also feel like there's room for some sort of hunter stalker type hero too. Like a Bonesplitterz equivalent of The Predator.

If you go back through my profile you'll find a spreadsheet with all the AOS kits up to Jan 2020. I started to add this info to Lexicanum (https://ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/List_of_Kits) but fell off due to final year uni issues pertaining to covid. I'll try and get back on it!
