    I do not want to hate on a release that is exciting for all chorf fans.

    However, if they simply squat the FW models released with AoS, I still believe we should pause before buying the new stuff.

    A big part of the hobby, for a lot of people, is the game and the support in the lore / models / rest that comes with being "game legal". GW invalidating models worth hundreds of dollars within years of release simply to make room for new models is frankly very anti-consumer.

    I'll be using my FW models alongside whatever new ones come out. A couple of years ago, I actually played against someone using the old 4th (or whatever) edition models as Azgorh in a tournament. Why wouldn't one be allowed to use the Forgeworld models in a similar way? They're GW models. They got their money.

    Unless they completely redo the line and get rid of blunderbusses and centaurs etc... which ya... then that will suck. They'll get more money if they add on to the line. If they come out with something completely new invalidating an entire line... then they won't get more of my money for that line.

    Hobgobs talk abut helping the kruleboys trade with their dark masters.

    Grimdark live say that chaos dwarves are coming (though probably not called that i'm hoping Furnace kings)

    So rejoice as they have been 100% right so far. 

    Is it in their latest video? Just want to check before I commit to watching the whole thing? :)

    -edit-

    Yep. Found it.

    I'm a bit surprised that the coyness and hobgoblins went completely silent in the only chaos duardin/Legion of Azgorh thread on whole forum.

    So, what are you thinking? Anyone excited? In despair? I probably wouldn't expect Legion of Azgorh minis but something new, but at least you can use your collections as 'counts-as' when that time comes, right?

    I don't want to get my hopes up.

    Probably will be a orruk warclans book.

    They did say on the stream that you can mix them with Orruks and Ironjawz, or run them on their own. That doesn't 100% say they will be rolled into a new Orruk Warclans tome and not get their own, but it definitely leans that way. Time will tell.

     But that has literally always been the case.

    If the fear is that AOS's lack of balance will drive away new players, because of bad early matchups, there is more than 30+ years of evidence to prove that is a bogus concern.

    Warhammer games have never had the kind of balance where you can pick anything, and have a good time playing against anything, and yet, for 30+ years the hobby has grown and is bigger than ever.

    Does poor balance drive away some players? Maybe.

    A meaningful amount? That requires drastic recorrection of game balance? If sales are anything to go by, and tournament participation, AOS is more popular than ever, so clearly more people are being drawn into the game than are being driven away.

    As someone who is still relatively new to this side of the hobby, my experience has been dictated by the players around as much as the game itself. The first few games I played in a tournament/store setting was with my Destruction faction (Ogors and Beastclaw) back in first edition. When I went up against stuff like Sylvaneth and Sayl or other strong stuff, the folks at the shop just let me know, "You're going to get smoked". And we played through scenarios of what I may or may not do in certain situations. And other games, they would throw stuff like Tomb Kings at me, or whatever "Cities of Sigmar" was called back then.

    I had an understanding that some matchups would be rough. Communication was the key to a pleasant experience. It's just like Magic or any CCG. You can bring your kitted out tournament deck or put together some fun jank. Or, put two new-ish players together. 

    The main difference is the time investment... and to some degree the money invested. But the money investment really... is not that much different. That's a myth. Really, it's the time investment of painting vs deck building, and the games are about 3 to 8 times longer.

    I'm glad I never bought the Troggoth Hag, too.

    They discontinued her? I'm glad I got here when I did. She was one of my favorite models to paint funnily enough. 

    Incoming... "counts as Gargant then" if they Legends her.

    Welp. Sooooo what are everyone's proxy ideas?

    I have two plans in place. Cities of Sigmar and Slaves to Darkness.

    Cities of Sigmar:

    Ironsworn = Longbeards

    Fireglaives = Irondrakes

    Deathshrieker Rocket Launcher = Helstorm Rocket Battery

    Magma Cannon = Steam Tank

    Daemonsmith = Battlemage/Runelord (I have all the Daemonsmiths. One of them is very Runelord-esque)

    Drazoath the Ashen = Battlemage on Griffon

    Slaves to Darkness:

    Ironsworn = Marauders

    Bull Centaur Renders = Varanguard

    K'daai Fireborn = Chaos Warriors (this one feels iffy to me)

    Daemonsmith = Chaos Sorcerer Lord

    Bull Centair Tau'ruk = Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount

    Drazoath the Ashen = Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Manticore

  8. This is what I've been telling myself if they do cancel them out of Age of Sigmar (which I obviously hope they don't):

    • I can use them as "counts as" Slaves to Darkness.
    • I can use them as "counts as" Cities of Sigmar.
    • I can use them in Kings of War (bleh... but still).
    • I might be able to use them in The Old World.
  9. I actually spoke with customer service on this. If  you are in the U.S. (as I am), expect them in a couple of weeks.

    Yeah I haven't received a physical copy yet or a shipping notice, I didn't think they had been sent out yet.

    Really cool stuff man, I love some of the convertion !

    be careful on the Gutter Fiend, there is still lot of Khorne sign ;)

    Thanks! Ya... I should probably just mark it Slaves to Darkness to be honest. I can't tell if it's a Khorne who went Nurgle or vice versa. It's basically a Khorne champion body with Blightking weapon and Nurgle head... and some Genestealer Cults arms :D
