I really hope they keep the units in the game. They add a lot of spice and can show GW what old models are popular to maybe bring back.

Great. Knocking my choice of units after I only played one game and just started to use them....I planned to paint my army as Urbaz, the guy with alchemists buffs...still going too but this will hurt. Well at least I only have one unit of thunderers. I am excited about Freeguild and Dispossessed getting alliegance ability so 2 out of 3 getting a buff is still good. Any word on compendium? Are my Empire Knights and Anvil of Doom now not street legal in matched play?

Yep so you can win a matched play game on points even if you are board wiped. Its just like how there are different triumphs for pitched battles and you do not use the standard rules ones.

Why cant more units just be battleline period? It would give all the armies much more flexibility. I think only Dark Elf units have battleline from the old elf units (in the new books.) I realise legacy units do have battleline but they are out of print. Also how can spireguard be 200 when they arent much better than Freeguild Guard with milita weapons?

I would really like to see allegiance abilities to let the old armies fight together. Examples can be like the old elves, dwarfs, skaven, etc. you can make them less optimal but give them something. Abilties plus being able to share special battleline choice would be amazing.

Those are beautiful! Way better looking than my empire troops (but I am new.)

How much did the balewind vortexes go for previously?
