  1. Agree that we should see evidence of better planning and execution in design to improve balance. Fans certainly shouldn't lower their expectations. They have a hell of a beast to tackle and the team do make some pretty random decisions that don't exactly help. The rules team are a bit of an enigma to be honest.
  2. I think the answers pretty simple. Balance will always be an issue with AOS. There will never be a stable settled point in the mortal realms for everything to fall into place and be tweaked ad infinitum. Why? Because there will always be new releases, and lots of them. And they need to sell them. Oh, forgot to mention. This doesn't matter, because the game is for the players, just house rule stuff and have fun. I'm afraid the competitive scene will always have some bias in it.
  3. Squig gobba would definitely fit the aesthetic. Does that still have rules? If its orruks and not hobgobs on the gnashtooths I think a unit of 3 would work. Otherwise they're going to be expendable chaff.
  4. They suffer from the same problem as space marines, they should be powerful and rare. Awe inspiring. Whispered about in myths and legends. But that doesn't translate well to tabletop.
  5. I was wondering this. There is something decidedly 'different' about them compared to other greenskinz. I am wondering if there will be some chaos dwarf genetic sorcery experiment origin story for AOS.
  6. What if Hashut has imprisoned Valaya like the elves got one over Slaanesh. Shudders.
  7. Can see it. TOW is coming. Nostalgia hit from remaking Vampire Counts was a success (cursed city controversy not withstanding). Chaos Dwarf players are the kind of people to lay down the big bucks. Why not eh?
  8. Wow that is a shame, I guess the current grots are very much cavern dweller / forest themed so artillery pieces don't fit like they used to. Once the hobgrot khanate empire takes over the plains then maybe we'll see some nice artillery pieces for grots
  9. Agree that hobgrots aren't kruleboyz. I'm not 100% on them. Regular grots like the little familiars and base decor fit better for me. Doesn't mean I don't like them, just not sure they gel with the rest of the faction. I definitely want more troggoths... and cavalry. Rumours are it will be hobgrots on wolves, but I think that's a shame as it would prefer hobgrots got their own khanate empire faction and kruleboyz got their own swamp themed cavalry instead. Will see how it goes. All things may come to pass eventually.
  10. I think we will see more hobgob units whilst standard grots will continue to be used as familiar-like characters and base decorations. I wouldn't mind more troggoths to be part of the faction.
  11. Enhance... enhance... zoom... Nope still can't make anything out.
  12. The way the hobgrots anatomy is proportioned, they seem like a wierd genetic cross of dwarf and goblin. Maybe some new origin lore coming? Wouldn't put it past chaos dwarf sorcery.
  13. "Yep, got a medal from Sigmar for saving Azyr money... I've been using the exact same hammer for 400 years." "The same hammer?!" "Yep. Maintained it myself, still as good as new. This hammers had 200 new heads and 170 new handles in its time." "How is that the same bloody hammer?!"
  14. CoS is nice, as you can also proxy a lot of their units with ones you might already have. For example dwarf querellers and thunderers aren't a thing... OK, they are now freeguild crossbow and handgunners. Etc.
  15. Yes. Naysayers be damned. These are not "boring" orcs. These are highly detailed plastic GW AOS Kruleboyz(tm)!!!! They are awesome and they make me want to buy this box all by themselves. Stormcast can go in the bin or be traded for a mad lad riding a troggoth!!!
  16. Big boys in the background... maybe they've done a sneaky and it was Kruelboyz AND Fimir all along.
  17. I'm a rather slow hobbyist, so my only apprehension is with the breakneck pace of releases, errata, obsoletions... etc. I would like to buy the dominion box but by the time I'm ready to play a game I do worry that everything in there will be irrelevant.
  18. Honestly with the updated stormcast and if the new greenskins are decent enough (trailer boy looks fine to me) then this may well be my very first AOS box set purchase.
  19. So are we saying this is going to be a thing now? Or it was but it no longer is?
  20. "You can even spot a devotional effigy on his base, similar to those popping up all around Ghur, and beyond – now who might be building those?" Hint to new steppe goblins?
  21. Legion of Azgor bull centaur god with hobgoblin worshipers?
  22. I hope they come out with rules for the models like BSF in kill team.
  23. Kragnos - Chaos Dwarfs? Legion of Azgorh Bull Centaurs?
