If it's in the GHB you can still use them, but you're at the mercy of whether or not they're placed in the 2020 GHB
Well that sucks. I will just have to use the Dwarf Warscroll Compendium (heck, Miners will get to be Miners again rather than proxy Warriors). There are no warscroll battalions, or faction-specific goodies, so I would be putting myself at a disadvantage. So nobody should object. Right?

I've seen more than a few hardcopy books roll over with the editions, first in WHFB and then in AoS. Army books, rules, and so forth are a transient product for me - I don't want to have a bunch of old paper sitting around with rules that I can't realistically use. At this point, I just buy my army books through the AoS app and reference them on my phone. Works just fine.
I know what you mean. I buy the physical copy for the stuff I actually play, and the digital versions for everything else so that I can keep up with what everyone else has.

Karl Franz is not Sigmar, his Spirit left his body when he was killed and then Sigmar possessed his corpse.
Is that your interpretation, or was that stated in the lore? I did not play WHFB 8th, so I don't know what was in the game books; I only read the novels, and from what I recall, the novel did not specify that Sigmar possessed Karl Franz's corpse - just that when the Glottkin killed KF on the altar, the rrsult did not go as planned.

Yes, absolutely loads in fact.
Such as...?
I'm not tryung to be combative - I really want to know because I haven't kept up on the Sigmarine lore (the Chaos guys and the Fyreslayers are just more interesting). From what I remember, there was Vandus, who was killed fighting Khorgas Khul (not long-dead), there was the guy who used to be a Nurgle Champion (not long-dead), there was that Relictor who was a necromancer doing necromancy sometime during the Age of Chaos (not long dead), and there is the guy that was hanging out with Gotrek (not long-dead). Who are the ones that I am missing that died long before the Stormcast project started?

I don't see how Karl Franz could be the Celestant Prime for two reasons:
1. It seemed pretty clear to me that in the end times, Karl Franz became the God Emperor of Man... umm... incarnation of Sigmar at the point he was cut down. Like a Jedi, he became more powerful than we could possibly imagine. Thus Karl Franz cannot be the CP because he is Sigmar.
2. Even if we go with the soul-replacement theory, the timeline is all wrong. Sigmarines only became a thing during the Age of Chaos. After Sigmar decided to create them, the lore states that heroes are snatched up by him at the point of death. Because Karl Franz died millennia before the Age of Chaos even started, heck, even before the Mortal Realms came into being, he could not have been taken up. Stormcasts had not even been conceived then. Is there any lore suggesting that Sigmar took any souls of long-dead heroes out of Shyish?

Now a question to you: I own some pretty old original GW pewter snakes and want to use them for a yet to build Splintered Fang crew. What is the base size for the snakes?
Thanks in advance
HTG
According to the assembly instructions, 25mm. The Truebood, Caller and Pureblood are on 32's, the Venombloods are on 28's and the snakes and Clearbloods are on 25's.

In a nutshell: No you can never re-roll the same dice more than once. And no, this does not make Tzeentch useless.
I agree. The abilities don't stack. But they do provide redundancy so that you can get the re-roll if the conditions for one ability become un-met (e.g. You lose Chaos Warriors such that you have fewer than 20 in the unit).

I have a Dispossessed army. Now that Cities of Sigmar has come out, is my army obsolete? In particular, Warriors, Quarrelers and Thunderers are not in the new Battletome. Does this mean that they are out of the game? Or can I still field these units in a Dispossessed army using the Allegiance abilities from the General's Handbook?
-
I like the OnDeadTree version. I find it quicker and easier to look things up in the middle of a game. Heck, I even printed out the warscrolls for my Dispossessed army and put them into binders just to make it easier to find while playing.
Also, don't discount the importance of the tactile. Would using a random number generator on one's phone feel as good as rolling a bunch of dice? I think most would prefer the latter.

I picked up the WHFB starter box that was Lizardmen and Brettonians, but I didn't really ragequit - I just didn't play too much and didn't re-up when a new edition came out. I kept playing WH40k from 2nd edition to about 4th edition until life got in the way. Switched to Warmahordes when I got back into mini wargamming a few years ago, but have moved back into GW games after the scale of Warmahordes grew too big (40k is big too, but is faster to play with less brainpower at large size). Got into AoS via the Gorechosen boxed game.
Eye of the Gods Table w/ no Marks of Chaos
in Rules Questions
Posted
The Ogroid Myrmidon, the Darkoath Warqueen and the Darkoath Chieftain all have the Eye of the Gods keyword, but none of them have the Mark of Chaos keyword or a Mark of Chaos ability (nor a built-in mark of Chaos.
What happens if I roll a 9 or 10 on the Eye of the Gods table for any of these? Does it count as nothing? Does it default to Undivided and I get furies?
Similarly, what happens if I roll an 11 or 12? Do I get a Daemon Prince with my choice of Mark of Chaos? Do I have no option of Daemon prince and instead just heal D3 wounds?
