    Don't forget Sequitors. Apparently 1 unit with shields and hammers that fulfill the exact same role in the exact same army wasn't enough 😒

    GW and the fanbase has always been toxic to some extent. It stems from a time when they basically ignored players which led to the detriment of the game. You can see that they are trying to turn it around but they never quite manage to shake off the old image of cash grabs, lying about quality etc. Me personally, I've been collecting Warhammer for decades. I wasn't happy with AoS to begin with, but I accepted that it was the new thing and just got on board with it. I haven't played at all over the last year as GW have taken ages getting a book out for dwarfs, elves and humans and I have no interest in stormcast or the other new factions. So, you can imagine the awesome feeling of finding out that we were finally getting a book with updates and new abilities. Then they just axe a large number of units, far more than the handful originally mentioned, and with such poor communications as well. I know newer players that have now lost their entire armies because they started playing AoS after the End Times and had no idea that legacy units would eventually be removed. GW should have never continued to sell those models if they were going to end up unsupported. I guess it's feeling like GW are slipping back into their old ways.

    You mean you don't want another boring space marine dreadnought/scout squad/librarian? In all seriousness though, I agree wholeheartedly, getting sick of seeing nothing but marines and stormcast releases for the good guys.

    The Tempest's Eye fluff is all about how they are guarded by the Spireguard. They just killed them, so I wouldn't assume that cannons are safe...

    A stormcast with a crossbow is a stormcast with a crossbow. Why do they need 4/5 separate unit entries? Same with the shield and hammer guys, the numerous stormcast cavalry etc.

    I've been playing Fantasy and then AoS for 25 years, so not really new to the game. I agree that it does punish newbies the worst, as well as those that don't follow the AoS news religiously (like me).

    The fish aelf army aesthetic is hardly reminiscent of proper elves. 🤢 What do we count glade riders as these days?
  8. SentinelGuy
    The issue is that as it stands at the moment there are only 2 elf units with bows and they're both made from the same box. GW has demonstrated that they're quite happy to kill off units at the drop of the hat so basically nothing is safe. There may be no elves with bows in 12 months.

    Squats were removed decades ago and you can hardly compare losing specific guard regiments with say the loss of the entire high elf line. If GW had axed every guard unit but the taurox and basic infantry squad you may have a case.

    Not everybody is a rich. I've got friends who can only afford 1 box of minis every couple of months. If you're building a 2000 point army then that can easily take a year or two to get everything you need. Imagine spending all your hobby money on an army that GW just squated overnight.

    They must be scrapping all the fluff as well. No longer will Tempest's Eye be guarded by the spireguard etc. It's all a bit of a joke really, why even bother mentioning these things in the first place if GW were planning on cutting them out?
  12. SentinelGuy
    Well the free cities are starting to look less appealing.
  13. SentinelGuy
    To be fair you could use the same argument for AoS. The cost of a full army is the same (sometimes more) than an old Fantasy army and the AoS rules were equally bad to begin with and the armies are just as unbalanced now as they ever were in Fantasy. They could have solved everything wrong with Fantasy by rolling it back to 6th edition and introducing a Generals Handbook to fix points costs and rules every year.

    It's hard to be enthusiastic about the game when your army could be squated every few months.

    My favourite is Tempest's Eye because the single piece of artwork we have shows the city with a bit of a Chinese/Japanese/Korean theme to some of the buildings. I'm currently working on converting up aelf airships as stand-ins for some kharadron as I feel that the aelf aesthetic fits Tempest's Eye better.

    I've used mine as eternal guard without shields

    I'm starting to wonder if GW made a mistake when they introduced the keywords to units. Things would be so much easier if instead of using aelves and humans they'd just used a generic free peoples tag and had generic units. People could play silver helms, knightly orders, kislevite lancers as a single cavalry type, high elf archers and spearmen would be playable again etc. I know we can just pretend and use what we like, but having it officially set out would be nice and stops those gamers who take offence at people using older minis.
  18. SentinelGuy
    Hmm that's a point. Have ordinary orruk boar boyz been dropped?
  19. SentinelGuy
    I don't think the Spireguard will disappear, simply because they are mentioned so much in the Tempest's Eye fluff already that it would be weird to see them dropped now.

    Sorry, I'm not going to be able to make it now as I'm having to work
