Hope Wolf Riders were a one off. They don't fit at all current GSG range. Neither squigs, nor Trogghoths. Not even the shroom theme. Move "normal" goblins to the old world. That's were they belong. I own fully painted 2k Squigs and on my way to 2k Trogghoths. If GW wants to expand GSG range do it with some crazy Spiderfang. They fit AoS way much better.
I consider myself Stormcast hater.
It's never been the design of models or story behind them. It was always because of GW's policy of prioritizing them over any other faction. At one point Stormcasts alone had more minis than the whole Death Alliance!
The funny part is that Stormcast brought me into this hobby in the first place. I still have my Stormcast models from the very first starter set (vs. Bloodbound). These were the first models I've ever painted and have strong sentiment for them.
But I never wanted SCE to become fantasy versions of Space Marines. Having each year new releases of another Chapter is just incredibly boring. Literally spamming the hobby with yet another identical squad or Lieutenant.
Singapore Warhound spoilers give some hope that this time Stormcast design will be more original. Even I feel LITTLE excitement for them (like 5x smaller than for Skaven but it's still something).
For future releases it would be great if another chapters really stood out from each other. Like Ironjawz differ from Kruleboyz.
Sometimes it's really misleading. It wasn't Whitefang but do you remember this whole "Cthulhu Elves"? Idoneth Deepkin are pretty far from something I'd call Cthulhu.
Both direct pics and hints are useful. I'm just more of a direct guy rather than speculation.
Both approaches are ok though.
I changed my mind. Battle Tactics can harm the overall experience. In my last game we just tried to score some silly positioning tactics that had unpleasant impact. In other circumstances none of us would make such a silly moves on the board.
