It was more of a hootnanny in the end.

It’s not. Detachments focus on play style over narrative restrictions. As it should be really. It should be up to the player to impose any restrictions on their armies they feel fit their background. I don’t use Gaunt’s Ghosts with my Catachans because I don’t feel they fit my fluff, but nobody should be told they cannot use them.

Who looks better in all promotional shots? Only the Faithful!

That’s Azazel. He’s a daemon prince with serious history with Sigmar.

I’ve heard whispers that GW are considering releasing miniatures in the future. Can’t reveal my source.

Sorry not buying it. Throne of Chaos was one of the last ditch attempts to turn WHFB sales around, along with Storm of Magic. It failed and it’s been moved on from. There’s simply no reason GW would take any TOW success and feel resurrecting a failed project, whose author has departed GW, would be the best route. I’d believe Dreadfleet was returning before I’d buy this rumour.

Gloomspite 100% should have been under the Horror branding. Everyone should read it.

I don’t think it’s that odd for Hobgrots being both. They’re only a single unit in Krule Boys, just like Cities have their Ogor.

Their background from the White Dwarf Presents days was they turned to Chaos out of desperation because their own gods failed them, and became twisted by it. Turning to Chaos to avoid extinction has become a bit of a tired trope and covered by Ogroids and Dragon Ogors ( if they survive the Beastcull) in AoS, so I’d like them to go further down the notion you’ve said. Have the new Duardin be motivated by greed and spite, have them embrace Chaos not to survive but because it gets the more stuff than following Sigmar’s little Pantheon.

It’s why I still have the original Mandrakes in my collection. Some things are so horrendously bad they loop around into being good.

Chaos (big c) =/= chaos (little c).

I play Warcry for Warcry and Necromunda for Necromunda. I don’t want Warcry to be a reskin of Necromunda because there already is Necromunda.

Witch Hunters are Sisters of Battle, no squatting just a rename, Chaos Dwarfs didn’t have an army book, we had a collection of White Dwarf articles and there was no Codex Squats because they stopped being sold at the start of 2nd edition, not 3rd. Fimir were a handful of models. A far cry from removing a full range of plastic miniatures. Regardless it’s a moot point. The dropping of small ranges of mostly metal miniatures in the early ‘90’s is hardly a trend when it’s literal decades before its done again.

Entirely possible, and I imagine the continuous production woes for the last several years played a significant role. I think it’s certainly clear something has changed in GWs plans for supporting products.

I own several D3’s because they came with Warlord Games ‘Gates of Antares’. After the initial novelty wore off, they’ve lived in my dice tub unused. It’s simply far easier to roll one of your many, many d6s and halve the result then to bother taking additional special dice.
