Whats the point in stating your opinion like this? They have had a tome. They have received a warband. Theres actually quite a few Bonesplitterz players on tga already. Maybe not all competitive ones. Thats more than some other subfactions ever had. Cant be sad/mad about something like this?

1. Bonesplitterz did a fusion ritual with Beasts to become wereboars(goats?). 2. Bonesplitterz get into haute couture 3. Gors turn into proxygors (too soon?)

I will proxy my Bonesplitterz as regular Ironjawz. Savage Orruks as Ardboyz. Savage Big Boss as unit champions. Wolverine from Hedrakkas Madmob as Ardboy Boss Wurgogg Prophet as a Weirdnob Shaman. I think that will fix most of my problems. I think it will look great next to the Wrekkaz and Morgoks Krushas.

Destruction well represented i see. I hope i get to attend a tournament some day. Edit: Congratulations on the win!

Ok now im less emotional, lets analyse this a bit more and stick with me here. I know Bonesplitterz/BoC were rumoured to get squatted so i am not actually that surprised by this move. But i do like that GW announced this over a year in advance and we are still getting a tome, so us casuals can still play the army for at least another 3 years. I have no interest in playing ToW as i simply dont have time for another huge game system. I guess ill just use my savage orruks as regular ardboyz and nobody will actually care that much. That said, i do have a few things that strike me as odd and do want to talk about. Ill list them first. -Removal of only the Scuttleboss. -New Bonesplitterz lore? -Oddly specific date for moving into legends a few months into 4th edition. -Similar article to the CoS update. -The spider incarnate still missing. -Season of War Gallet was supposed to be about BoC and Bonesplitterz right? -Manifestation spell lore. I might be missing some things here but i think this can mean a few things. First i love that Spiderfang is sticking around for a while. I hope the Scuttleboss gets a glorious new model and i think the spider incarnate could be reused as a new unit for the Spiderfang. Could we be looking at a range refresh for Bonesplitterz and BoC 2025? This article really is giving me those CoS vibes when they got their stuff removed. Also when talking about manifestation lore i think about Shamans first. Did the Season of War Gallet get moved into early 4th edition? Just thinking out loud, things surrounding these 2 factions have been weird for a while now. I am more hopefull for BoC than i am for Bonesplitterz as units like the Wrekkaz are basicly just Bonesplitterz. Other option is that they all just simply got removed XD. (Also really think lack of sales is a lack of support in this case, cant even buy most of the range) Ill continue loving my models and will finish my army, it will be a passion project and not one for gaming purposes. I will focus on GSG as thats the safe bet for AoS. Thanks for reading to the end. Let me know what u all think about this. I know its a stretch, but i still think these decisions made by GW are weird.

To my knowledge many Bonesplitterz units are played as big waaagh.

Wow... just .... wow.... I guess GW just wants to kill of my whole collection. First Gitmob and generic Orcs, now all my Bonesplitterz and the Scuttleboss. This really makes me wonder if i want to continue this hobby. Even Hedrakkas got removed and that is a newish kit. This really feels like i am getting punished for playing non order or marine factions time and time again. Its fun to get Kruleboyz and Kragnos, but by now i only have Gordrakk and u unit of brutes left thats legal after 2025. Really GW? Why? My whole 2000 point whfb army is invalidated and it had cost me years to build and paint the it all and added to that while AoS was already a thing. Mh army got split up and moved to different books. And now i get my models removed as the cherry on top?

Yes i am doing this!

Curious about what tga thinks. On any other day i would have picked Skaven. But these raven knight deathcast have my interest and maybe thinking about starting that army. So im going with Stormcast this time.

I would love a 4 year cycle. Building a new army takes me so much time that when im finished the edition is almost over and my army list invalidated XD. This is also why im happy we are getting indexes this time.

Agreed. Small hammer makes them look like:

I wonder what Underworlds warbands are going to look like. Most of them are a hero model + bodyguards in AoS, 2 warscrolls. This going to change?

I think GW hasnt forgotten about 40k soup lists. Dont think they will make that mistake again. But who knows XD.

I can see GW releasing these regiments like micro factions to add to an army for sure. Maybe in a regiments of renown style box releases aswell. Would be perfect for subfactions like Gitmob/Spiderfang/Firebellies/Kurnothi or different subfactions of CoS.

Thats basicly like playing a grand alliance army vs using a tome. Its optional but in reality i have never seen it as u miss out on too much stuff. I also feel like army building is like throwing a few regiments of renown together and calling it an army. I wonder how they are going to fix that i am forced to buy hero models. And how does this work with warcry/underworlds warbands?

Arent these great tree revenants replacements? Also get twice as many on the box. Dont know of they are on 32mm bases though.

Asking the real questions this week. Do you like SCE to be in every starterbox? I have to be honest, i actually like it. As a starterbox faction i like having the generic good guys vs random bad guy composition. I can grab a box and ask someone what side they like to play. If i had to pick another faction that could replace SCE i think i would say CoS. I can picture them as the hard to paint army in the box vs GSG or OBR that are more forgiving to paint.

Hes obviously a keybearer.

Yeah i dont get why. Bonesplitterz are easy to paint, look great on posters and are most of the time already called boyz in 40k anyway, small transition to posterboyz. Everyone knows what an orruk is. Bonesplitterz for posterboyz!

Ok without jokes. I think all Stormcast designs types have their own thing i like about them. First i have to that i absolutely hate the term fatcast. I do like the bulky designs i just would have liked them non helmeted. The thunderstrike design looks more like a marriage between a gladiator and a super hero suit, dont really like the helmets here too. I do like hooded or normal stormcast heads. I do like the helmets of these new designs so far, but it might just be a paint scheme thing. Cant wait to see more of the heroes.

Non SCE players:

Yeah maybe balance wasnt the right word for what i am trying to say. Its more about numbers representung what a model/army/game is supposed reflect? Sorry my english is lacking at the moment. Edit: still dont know what other word to use XD

I think the gameflow of AoS is somewhat unintuitive from time to time. Things like the double turn, removing models from the back of a unit, battleshock, mortal wounds, making weird coherentie chains etc dont help. I dont think AoS is not a bad game, but to me it feels like things dont behave as i expect them to.
