Truth, right there. A smashing model all round!

Regardless of what the new Chaos Dwarfs look like, my mental picture of them will always be set at the 90s big hat chaps.

"Hey, bro!! What brings you to the Warhammer shop today? What are you working on, gosh that's interesting, have you seen this....."

I think that'd be the case. To be brutally honest, I'm fairly involved in the AoS circles (well, I'm on this forum at least!) and I'd struggle to spot new Stormcasts from old.

I put my name down... although I fear it may be too late to reverse the decision regarding the poor beasties, at least it might make GW a bit more thoughtful before axing any further factions from a game.

"We encourage you to continue using your collection for casual play, and we will continue to support this content with rules and balance updates as needed throughout the edition." https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/04/04/whats-leaving-the-warhammer-age-of-sigmar-range/

And have the same Daemon models used in three different games? Why not. They're worth it.

That'd be ideal. Similar to the list of 'counts as' they included at the end of the Compendiums when AoS was first released.

Sometimes GW can surprise you. I was damn sure Slaanesh was getting booted out when AoS was a newborn. Could have never predicted the glory that is the current Slaanesh range! Now if only we could have our god back...

They've said they'll update the rules as often as needed as long as this new edition lasts. Ultimately, though, it comes down to the question of how long it's reasonable to keep supporting rules for models that are no longer produced. And that's a bit of a moot point.

Agreed with bells on! All my decisions when I'm assembling models are based on a) the lore, and b) what looks cool. My Chaos Warriors all have paired weapons, because that feels more Slaanesh-ish and, therefore, cool. That might not have been the best tactical option, but I don't care. Indeed, at the moment they're having to count as having other armaments, since the paired weapon option got the shove. Anyway, the whole 'counts as' thing is nothing new. Standard bearers and whatnot have always counted as being armed the same as the models around them, for the sake of simplicity.

Well, to be fair, these greedy baddies have said that we can do exactly what we like with our miniatures. They've made it perfectly clear that there's still going to be rules for everything. It's just a fraction of players who are really affected by the decision to restrict what's allowed at official events.

Marvellous! Something about that red/brass combination makes it extra steampunk-ish, too.

I assembled all of my Chaos Warriors with paired hand weapons, and all of my Chaos Knights with Ensorcelled Weapons. Strictly speaking, they got invalidated by the most recent Tome. Of course, I've been still using them... resorting to the 'counts as'. It's pleasing to think, though, that under the new edition they'll be 'valid' again. Hopefully.

Fantastic colours! Would love to see a whole army done like that.

Yeah, but that's because the international release for Doctor Who is done by Disney now.

You ain't wrong. I've been waiting for Hellstriders to be available for almost a year now.

Liking the new Warscroll format. Nagash's is a huge improvement on the huge blob of text as it currently stands.

Anyone else feeling kinda hungry after reading Glutos' Dawnbringers story? Mmm... devilled aelf hearts....

Are there? Intriguing. Personally I don't think there's anything on the Slaanesh side that needs refreshing too urgently... aside from the Viceleader.

Here's some work in progress... I'm really not sure about it yet. I fear I might have made a hash of it by making the greyish/purple flesh tone too dark (bearing in mind that the claws and the stocking-things will be dark too). I'm hoping that a fair amount of gold detailing and iridescent horns will lift it up, so I'll keep working at it...

I doubt it. But I did notice that in the Old World photos they've used the old metal Shamans. Which is odd.

I was half-expecting the Chaos Warshrine to bite the dust in this cull. It doesn't really fit with the new Darkoath style, and it's gotta be one of the few Slaves to Darkness kits left that was inherited from Fantasy Battle. But, then, it's not in the Warriors of Chaos list for Old World. So... ??

I'll use the 'Legends' rules. Simple. Although I've been thinking for a while about homebrewing some stuff, fully integrating my Slaanesh-styled Beasts units and whatnot into the Hedonites faction. Could probably do with collaborating with someone who's better at the nitty-gritty of the rules... I'm good with the fluff (no false modesty there... nor any genuine modesty) but not so hot at the dice-rolling side of things.

It is rather upsetting to see the Beasts get the boot. I've got a unit of Slaanesh-painted Bestigor that I'm very fond of. But, then, I'm most likely never going to play in a tournament, and I wouldn't have included any Beasts units in it even if I did! I was pretty damn sure that coalition units were going to be a thing of the past, anyway. They do publish points values for 'Legends' units, don't they?
