I think instead of being around retreating and charging, the Nighthaunt will have an opposite approach where they can force the enemy to retreat, damaging them and allowing the Nighthaunt to charge again. Would fit in with their whole terror theme.

If they nerf KO shooting heavily they'd better at least make Arkanaut Company a valid melee/shooting hybrid (as you'd expect of a unit armed with pistols and melee weapon) instead of leaving the balloon boys as our only real melee unit.

I believe they stated on the stream all the unit characteristics and weapon profiles on the Spearhead warscrolls are the same as the main game.

Personally, I want a Kharadron Overlords FPS. Because they have so many cool guns I want to fire. Don't tell me you wouldn't want to use a Decksweeper.

Its more like Kragnos existence just passively causes everyone to get pissed off.

There's literally one map for every single mortal realm other than Azyr, you could easily just adapt them.

Honestly, I think 40k is worse about this stuff. The lore tries to present the galaxy as a huge place it takes years to cross but somehow all the major factions just go anywhere they want whenever its convenient. Like Marneus Calgar somehow immediately after the Plague Wars in Ultramar goes to Vigilus, which is on the literal other side of the galaxy, with no indication that much time has passed. And in addition to their forces on Vigilus, somehow the Ultramarines are both fighting the Necrons in the Nephilim sector in Segementum Ultima and the Tyranids in Segmentum Solar, all while still somehow keeping their bases in Ultramar manned.

Fyreslayers should logically be be getting a lot. They're in due for an update and live in Aqshy, which is the primary setting for this edition. And there's the old Dwarfs vs Skaven rivalry to capitalize on.

Only the Skaven models as far as I know.

Honestly Sylvaneth already have the fairie themes, even the evil fairy themes what with Drycha.

The Warhammer Fantasy equivelant of Mongolia is the Eastern Steppes, where Hobgoblins, Kurgan and Hung live.

Ogors aren't Mongolian, the designers explicitly stated they were supposed to look like Cossacks. I don't know why people keep saying Ogres are Mongolians because they don't really have anything to do with them.

I'm pretty sure its about Krethusa.

Wasn't Games Workshop's whole distinction between "launch boxes" and "starter boxes" is that launch boxes were intended for experienced players who just wanted all the new models that were releasing with the start of the edition while starter boxes were inttended for people who wanted to start the game? Kind of weird if they veered away from that. Maybe they just figured that new players were just buying the launch box to get into the game anyway.

The third option is literally what Leviathan did though.

You can't mix and match endless spells from different lores, you will only need to buy a single box containing the one you need.

So hypothetically speaking, assuming that it isn't summoned like an Endless Spell, there's no reason not to take Krondspine when you're playing KO, right? Unless they're just going to make Spells in a Bottle a universal army feature.

Didn't Whitefang Jr. mention being excited for "Skaventide"? I presume that will be the box name.

I remember Beastmen showing up a bit in in stuff. Main villains in Beastgrave, major side villain in Hamilcar, primary antagonist POV in Black Pyramid.

The Vulture Lord is another Bonereapers centric novel.

Yeah, but its much bigger in comparison to, say, Seraphon (the most Seraphon centric novel is Legends of the Age of Sigmar: Skaven Pestilens, and that's the weird 1E Slann-dream Seraphon).

There are a bunch of Fyreslayer stories. Arguably, no dedicated Fyreslayer novels, but: *Legends of the Age of Sigmar: Fyreslayers, which is a compliation of short stories and a novella. *Bonereapers, a novella which while the Bonereapers themselves get top billing the Fyreslayers are the main heroes opposing them. *Heirs of Grimnir, an audio drama spinoff of Realmslayer that focuses purely on Fyreslayers. *Grombrindal: Chronicles of the Wanderer, which is evenly divided between Dispossessed, Fyreslayers and Kharadron with neither really getting more focus than the others. *Soulslayer, a Gotrek novel which is something like 70% Fyreslayer focused.

Fyreslayers did play a role in early Dawnbringers what with the whole rivalry with King Trugg thing. Honestly I think Kharadron get about just as much attention in the narrative as Fyreslayers do and I see nobody saying they're neglected.

You can easily just make something based on his 6E rules for the Old World. From a quick look the only real major problem I see is that his armour is a 1+ save which is no longer around, but if you make him a 2+ save rerolling ones because of the Gromril Armour special rule it should still work for sheer "unopenable tin can" levels.

Could be masked and unmasked head options in the kit itself. IIRC the Dominion Stormcast had a bunch of helmeted and unhelmeted heads with them.
