    It isn't. Same as mine are Spooky Dead People, my friend's are Those Flippin' Trees, and the local Fireslayer player runs Mohawk Dudes.

    Lots of armies have shownames. My gaming group have been referring to my dwarfs as a creative mashup of several four letter words for decades.

    That's Army Painter snow with a layer of Citadel snow flock over the top of it. I used Valhallan Blizzard for the Grave Guard, not sure if you could tint it though. I imagine you could do by mixing small, dilute amounts in. :)

    Thanks! Yeah, I actually quite like the old bodies a fair bit. Heads and weapons are fairly awful, but they work well, especially once they're all blocked up together.

    I'm stockpiling the oversized heads and weapons for my super secret future project

    Spoiler

    a dwarf undead army

    if you're throwing them away. ;)

    Wound markers should come in D8, D12 and D20 varieties. D10 just doesn't cover the amount of monsters in play!

    I think the idea is that you use the differently coloured ones to represent tens and units, but I agree - D20s might have made more sense.

    This would be great! I had a thought, what if one of the things that made them 'premium' Start Collecting boxes was that  pre Ghb armies came with with allegiance packs instead of Warscroll Battalions?

    Saucy! I wonder how much bitz sites would start selling the rules for?

    Got to agree - it really sucked having to buy a Magmadroth kit just to get a Runefather on Foot and a Runesmiter for my new army (with no intention of using the Magmadroth) - I tried eBay unsuccessfully. I'm using an old metal model as the other Runesmiter.

    The Allegiance pack for the Fyreslayers would be the best Christmas present, but I'm not hopeful.

    I wouldn't be shocked if we see allegiance packs for factions with pre GHB battletomes in the Black Library digital advent this year. They're a quick turnaround, people have been asking for them, and can be republished in future supplements. ;)

    Have anyone heard if the release of the Lord-Veritant means that new single releases for all the main factions are coming? If this is just an isolated release, then that would be quite a deviation from the way they have released AOS products so far. Could it mean balancing releases for the rest coming up (such as a ranged Ironjawz unit)? I don't mean that they have released for all factions every time up until now, but rather that any release has always been part of some sort of "wave".

    I'd guess it heralded a Sacrosanct Chamber battletome in the same vein as the Extremis Chamber one sometime in the foreseeable future if anything. We should have a better idea on if he's gonna be immediately followed up by more Stormcast releases or not when we see the retailer order list at the start of next week.

    @Double Misfire Your unbinds have no Power here! lol. 

    That Gryphound is outstanding looking! much better than the other one we have got.

    Yep, gonna have to buy the mini just to complete my gryph-hound collection. (holding out for a Sacrosanct book with a multi part gryph-hound box and gryph-hound battalion accompanying it. I can dream...)

    Yes! This!

    Instead of GW releasing the inevitable Chaos Stormcast, the renegade chambers should decamp to Death. Maybe lots of them are weakened by too many reforgings and can't last much longer. Nagash offers them eternity in exchange for their allegiance.

    I think I'd be tempted by that range! The Lord Relictor is a great mini. Make them like that but in jet black armour. 

    I made a bunch of posts about corrupted Stormcast in this thread:

    I'd also like to see corrupted Stormcast somewhere down the line, though not from the obvious place in the big four (who they've been specifically built to be uncomfortable by and who's followers the Celestant-Prime breaks the rule of Chaos by uncorrupting), but from Nagash and the Skaven, both of whom have respectively been pretty keen on getting the Stormcast's souls back in his domain/reverse engineering them.

    Quote

    I really just meant 'corrupted' in the broadest possible sense of twisted against/not serving Sigmar anymore. The skaven 'Stormcast' (stormvermin cast?) would be the result of Grey Seer Skurrik vivisecting that poor prosecutor prime that got dreaded 13th'd in Quest for Ghal Maraz, and either stealing the knowledge of the Stormcast creation process and using a twisted version of it on Skaven, or dreaded 13thing more Stormcast (or both); possibly as a bid to topple Archaon/other dominant Chaos powers. Nagash's Stormcast would be the result of Nagash reclaiming Stormcast souls after the reforging process and creating a legion of super-wights, locked in an eternal torture as they're forced to take the passenger seat in their own minds as they cut down scores of innocents, subsumed by the will of Nagash.
