    Dealing with new release disappointment and model loss

    Thanks for trying to help. I know about OPR. Doesnt do it for me. Im very busy and it is hard to learn more systems and also find players that are willing to do the same. 

    No worries. I tried it and haven't gone back to GW game systems (which i feel are terrible anyway). OPR system is designed to be a sound rule system without having you buy anything. Rules are free and far more competitive than anything GW can make up. In addition, they are releasing 3rd edition later this year so it's definitely something I highly recommend and can vouch for. * I'm a previous GW - only devotee *

    So ill start with my short version

    Just when i started this hobby for the first time an just having completed my first 2000 points O&G army.... AoS happened.... i almost quit the whole thing. A friend convinced me to try 40k and i bought the Iyanden big box to jumpstart my army.... than when i just finished that army.... they deleted the iyanden supplement leaving me with no troops and crippling me again.... Switched to space wolves and after finishing about 1k points.... Primaris happened.... so time to go back to AoS.... rules didnt really matter to me but the models looked great....

    This time i just started buying stuff i wanted to paint and quit buying playables armies. I have been burned so many times by thinking of this hobby as a thing that stays the way it is. I want to tell u all something. It wont. For minis and rules to stay fresh things need to move forward and change. 

    I love my Spiderfang models i painted and i use them for Warcry sometimes but i wont expand that army for the sake of playing AoS. The rules have been bad, no new models at all in AoS, im not giving myself any illusions. Ill be sad if they are removed at some point and if they get new models ill jump on them so fast people wont even notice i bought them. But i am a lot more cautious about spending my time and money these days.

    Dont know if this makes sense to u all but its a few of my thoughts on this matter.

     

    you can play alternate rule systems - OPR makes Age of Fantasy which is Age of Sigmar/Warhammer Fantasy with different rules. You can literally use your same armies and have them there - just a heads up on alternate systems. : )

    As someone who was really hype about potentially getting new Cities I find myself pretty disappointed with them. Largely because I love historical arms and armor. Something I love about the Empire and Brettonia is how historically accurate the armors are. With the new models they aren't historically accurate, which is unfortunate. But they also look really rough and bulky. When I see them I feel like I'm looking at what Fallout Raiders would wear if they knew what medieval arms and armor looked like.

    When I read rumors that they were a mirror to the Chaos Legionnaires I got really excited because Chaos Legionnaires look honestly amazing and are a fantastic blend of WH Chaos, and actual historical designs.

    Check out the Empire models from Highlands Miniatures. Great alternatives. Otherwise I would wait and see the rest of the range - it does seem promising .

    Given that I've impulsively ordered the new beastlord even though I don't have my first army sorted yet, does anyone know when the existing gors and other beastmen are from?

    I remember they got a massive refresh shortly before I left the hobby as a young teen, but I can't remember what were the things that got updated and what they got.

    Another related question, what are the odds of having beasts redone in the relatively near future?

    Low since they just got a tome

    I'd prefer new Black Knights instead of a new Corpse Cart. Especially after the mounted Wight King dropped. A double kit across 2 different armies makes little sense in the current form of AoS. Ofc that would mean Hexwraiths would have to be redone, but Nighthaunt always get some love one way or the other every edition, so it's not outside the realm of possibility. 

    I'd still love to see a real Vyrkos Bloodborn kit, even if the Askurgan Trueblades exist. Both are esthetically different enough so they don't step on each other's toes. Never thought about nightmare cavalry (I mean, Blood Knights exist, but on winged nightmares ? That would be dope) and a gravekeeper hero, but that's neat ideas. I like the "body horror" look of some SBGL models. 

    Black Knights are from 8 th and still look good with Hexwraiths. Much better than their 6th counterparts. Corpse Cart however is from 7 th..
