  1. Is that in the section where it also says unique also = named characters hiding a new rule? bring on 3rd where they can clarify all of this in the one place
  2. Tom from Warhammer Weekly agrees with me according to their latest episode. Wanderers will still be able to be played, but when the Sisters of the Thorn and Wyldwood Rangers are updated in the cities book , and are without the Keyword Wanderers then they will not be able to be used in the Wanderers army. That could cripple armies while 'technically' still be able to be played.
  3. I doubt the updated Warscrolls in Cities of Sigmar will have the Wanderers Keyword - really hoping I am wrong however.
  4. I would not be surprised at all to see a later down the line seperate books on Dispossessed, Free People’s, Wanderers & Darkling Covens. They each have a decent sized model range coupled with Allegiance Abilities in the Handbook. It would only stand to reason that they will redo Seraphon later this year and keep the others for next year (allowing them to ‘finish’ all the races by the end of next year.) It will also remove the need for the Grand Alliance Books. My prediction for release order this year; Orruk Warclans Book Free Cities Book Ogur Book Deathrattle/Soulblight Book (either would be cool, I’d prefer Deathrattle) Everchosen-STD-Darkoath Soup/Seraphon Book (either one first, then the other) Next year I’ll be guessing in no particular order; Dispossessed, Wanderers, Free People’s, Kharadron Overlords, Disciples of Tzeentch, Light Elves (which could add in the old High Elf range & Shadow Elves (which could add in the old Dark Elf Range)
  5. What needs to be remembered are a few things. With Warscrolls being freely available and on an app makes armies more manageable as coupled with a yearly Generals Handbook release (and associated FAQ) they can do wholesale changes to a book (Kharadrons in 2017, summoning in 2018 for some examples.) The Free Cities also likely to be ‘get you by’ lists - much better than Grand Alliance, but perhaps not as in-depth as specific allegiances. I can see a Wanderers, Dispossessed, Darking Covens or Empire book further down the line. Cities of Sigmar seems to me to be a kick the can further down the road for me. Cities of Sigmar effectively replaces the Order Grand Alliance book. With Greenskinz going to Legends, Gitmob Grots being squatted, Ogres being merged. Destruction & Order Grand Alliance books get added to the Death book where it is completely outdated. With Furies being added to Slaves to Darkness - iirc only the Soulgrinder & Belakor are without a home once Slaves to Darkness gets its book (unless they are ported in to the book which is possible. Belakor leading/worshipped by Warriors of Chaos (assuming he doesn’t get dropped entirely) and a Soul Grinder a replacement for the Hellcannon of the old world. So in summary, while the battletomes are effectively replacing the Grand Alliance Books; the app and yearly Errata with the GHB (as traditionally the mid cycle updates just apply minor changes) allows easy access to the rules and can apply changes to the Warscrolls and do point changes to keep (in theory) most things relatively balanced. There is no real limit to the books that they can release, however I’d imagine they will want to keep them manageable if only for Stock Inventory & Logistics.
  6. There is definitely more; the mortals give away that there will be more coming.
  7. Yay for being spelt out (assumes it was the case however :))
  8. It means if you have a mortal (ie non-Daemon) model then it won’t be able to use that Command Ability (implying that only Hero’s can activate Command Abilities - unsure if that is spelt out somewhere in the rules.)
  9. However, according to the Honest Wargamer, he had more than a week to prepare and practice with it like the rest of us. That said, it’s a similar list to what is been throwing around so it’s nice to see I’m in the right track
