Chorfs?!
Looks like something Chaos Space Marines or a Blades of Khorne warband.

Exactly. Even Broken realms style books could have rip-out-Pages with holes in them (or not being part of the book, but being contained in a seperate booklet).
this way they could add an infinite amount of content that one could collect without ever being out of date.
Edit: Those kinds of Battletomes are cheaper and, oh boy, GW could create so many Accessoires to make it look cooler (And ofc make money off of it)
- Faction specific binders
- Faction specific Hard Covers that wrap around the binder to make it look like a real book.
- A leather Wrap-Hard Cover to make it look like a tome
- a magnetic cover to which you can attack your gaming aids etc.
Its like microtransactions but not digital. If GW sees this it will happen like today.

Ok i think i'll remodel some to arrowboyz if they wont change to much with the upcomming battletome. Or get another box of savages, can never have enough i guess.

I have said before that if there was a subscription service that gave you access to the rules portions of all battletomes for, like, 10 dollarydoos a month, I would pounce on that like a puma. The convenience of having all the most up-to-date rules in one place would be well worth it for me.
Warhammer+ and the new AoS app could be that. But it's probably more likely that GW will make us buy digital versions of our battletomes individually through the app. In which case I will buy my own army's tomes and look up all other faction rules through 3rd party summaries, like I have been doing.
What it looks like now, and correct me if i'm wrong, is that we have to pay for warhammer+ to get the builder and also buy the battletome to unlock the digital version. I havent seen them myself but i've read that the digital battletomes are horrible at the moment. It all seems clunky.

10 Savage Orruks is hard to move but poor damage output (especially with all the sill saves around at the moment).
Big Stabbas are easier to kill but also cheaper, faster (run and charge), have 3" range, one of our few sources of rend and excel in a monster heavy meta. On the table they are the best answer we have to a lot problematic units (Archeon, Naggash, Mawcrushas, Stonehorns etc). Personally I prefer units of 4 to make sure they kill what they hit (and mimise losses) but if properly protected, units of 2 can do some work.
Would that be the same case for arrowboyz?

With the changes happening with the app and warhammer+ what do u all think about the future of battletomes?
I think battletomes are an outdated concept as a whole.
If they would put all army rules and warscrolls in the app for all who like to play games. They could have an app with rules/armybuilder and interface to keep track of things needed for your battle. With an option to print those.
Then do a separate release for the books with just the lore and art and fluff for the people who are into that. I think all would be happy. They could also do broken realms style books without rules to showcase new lore and models.
Could be that they are moving towards that kind of thing now but they really need to upgrade the apps to another level.

What reason would someone have for playing a unit of 2x big stabbas over 10x savage orruks?
Edit: Also, i am thinking of building this list for fun.

I'd prefer more Gorkamorka finally smashing through the realms responding to the order push.
Maybe with Gordrakk finally kickstarting a "colossal waagh" like the age of myth.
I would love for Gordrakk to do some krumpin but i dont think he will so soon after Kragnos kicked his butt and took his Waaagh!

Hope not. If I'm paying extra to get the digital benefits then I want to be able to access them without having Warhammer+. Doubt I will be able to though.
Yeah it would feel like paying double to get a digital battletome and need warhammer+.

Also if u kill one killaboss u get half the numbers on the other 10 wounds. Comparing apples and oranges.

Do u have to pay for warhammer+ to get the digital battletomes?

I think its a bit ridiculous that we have to pay around 40 euros for a battletome now. Cant sugarcoat this sorry. I dont collect just one large army. I collect many small armies because i like all the different sculpts. I cant justify buying every book again and again over just collecting more models to be honest. Just to play a game a few times a year (same for 40k). The mirebrute is almost the same price XD. I want to support gw with buying all the books and not use other sources. But they are making it damn hard to keep doing it.
That being said i am glad they gave information about the battletomes/units and preorders.

Hey I usually just play against my roommate and we are pretty relaxed on rules when it comes to forming the army. He is Tzeentch and mainly has flamers holding of on pink horrors for right now. I am gloomspite, I've been running trolls to help with the magic resistance and their ward is fantastic against all the mortal wounds. For the most part he just dominates me in games. I have some back up squigs but when i used mainly squigs I was erased before I even got a turn. Any suggestions?

I think i would try to change skragott and the snufflers to a fungoid shaman and another dankhold trogg. Could also add the loonboss on giant squig to go with some bounders.
-
I cant wait to see the battletome. Cant say anything about the new stats without the rules. The delay gives me a bit more time to paint up some more orruks though haha.

Thanks for the info!. What character/leader/unit would u add as an ally to nighthaunt up to 200 points?
-
I want to try this list for fun but i dont know if i'll get stomped horribly. Havent played any games with my nighthaunt yet. Any comments?

Hi all, i want to buy and paint up some crimson court models and use them as allies in a 1000/1500p nighthaunt list for fun. But i dont own anything about them really. I was wondering what would be the best use for them. I'll probably run them along some spirit hosts and Lady O. Would this be a total waste and should i start a mini soulblight army? Or should i use one of the models as a vampire lord? Dont really know what to do with them. What are their strenghts and weaknesses? Thanks!
-
I actually like some of those heroes on foot for warcry and 1000 point games. And while some of them may not be usefull i most of the time have a blast painting those characters. Its way more fun than painting savage orruk number 44 with another 16 to go.

Yeah i also think he looks like a unit champion.
36 minutes ago, OkayestDM said:Obviously, there's still a little left or the Kruel Boyz, though just how much remains to be seen. Looks like there's still hope for that "wolf" cavalry!
After all the things kruleboyz joining orruk warclans i am hoping for some wolf riders joining rippas snarlfangs at some point :D.
-
Thats why i was browsing the old rumours to find some kind of connection. I cant seem to find anything else usefull. I loved the chain of dominion rumours, those where great fun. They should do more like those.
-
Ahh i would have liked that model for AoS.
-
Would be fun if such a dawnbringer crusade stumbles upon a forgotten settlement/stronghold/village that has been left alone since the beginning of AoS while they are being attacked by beastmen or something.
-
I'm wondering whats up with mankind. Does gw have any plans on bringing back the empire or at least cities of sigmar humans? I would like to see some normal humans again after all the stormcast and all the chaos mortals. Once upon a time i wanted to start an empires army but then AoS happened. I still like some of the models but the range could use some AoS sauce imo. I did like Galen and Doralia ven Denst but it left me wanting more haha. What do u all think of this? Do u think it is possible?
I think these could be human related.
Could see this on a base/totem of some witch hunter.
Looks human to me.
Could be anything, but please be a gunblade.
Could be the mount
Human boots
I kind of hope this falls in line with some of the more recent models we have seen. Like these.

Could even use this concept for warcry and other upcomming things. They could even do booster packs with different art pages so people will trade them to create a better community. It would also be a wallets worst nightmare. It already makes me feel nostalgic.
Me: *opens pack*
Someone else: Yeey i got a foil Gordrakk page ! !
Me: *looks inside pack* nooo not another deathrattle skeleton
