[Bretonnia Battletome Project]

Also problem is how to make in line with other Battletomes. Usually Battletomes use limited number of units/characters and that's what I hated about Tomb King unoffical Battletome - too many units and too much flexibility when GW idea is clear considering brand new faction Battletomes - 4-5 new units/leaders + 3-5 older units/leaders. Look at Sylvaneth or rumored Duardin. So unless Bretonnia Battletome is limited to few units it won't work considering how Battletomes are constructed. 

But Seraphon have loads of options yoo, right? I believe they only lost a tiny number of units as Lizardmen.

Clan Eshin you say?...Go onnnnnnn

Apologies, I was quoting a previous conversation regarding Silver Tower characters who have had nothing else for their AoS faction. I have no rumour info.

One of the rumormongers did mention Skaven in 2017 though. Eshin would seem the most likely existing Skaven faction IMHO, but could be a whole new clan of course.

This isn't true.  Devoted of Sigmar have not had a release either. 

Clan Eshin too...

Fair enough, we all have different tastes. To me the guy on the left looks like a half-arsed lump of very expensive resin that someone made up as they went along, then left out in the sun too long, whereas the Glottkin looks like something that somebody actually went to the trouble to design.

And are Forgeworld really doing stuff that GW won't these days, at least for AoS? These days I wouldn't put it past GW to do just about anything. The latest Forgeworld models seem to be less impressive and less coherent riffs on things GW have already done.

Out of interest, what AoS stuff have you bought from Forgeworld?

Edit: Can't get images to appear.

Surely the FW GUO is far more characterful than the current GW one? Ditto KoS.

If we're going to cherry-pick, it works both ways.

Just finished a small 5 men corsair unit, also started working on my Lokhir conversion.

 

I have been ignoring the texture in the inner-cloaks up to now, but the yours have convinced me to give them another go.

Are they drybrushed?

I could see this. I have a small 1000 pt army of scourge privateers and am a little surprised they don't have access to more monsters from the old elves, considering their new theme as beastmasters.

Something like the hydra and cold one knights would suit this, especially considering they share kits with the chariot and hydra.

TBH, I chose Scourge Privateers more for their maritime feeling than the beast element. The chariot is already a stretch for me, but opening the floodgates to all sorts of terrestrial beasts would kill the character for me personally.

Many armies satisfy a certain biome (e.g. tundra, desert, forest, jungle, swampland, etc.) and to me the Scourge Privateer are, potentially at least, the aquatic-themed faction that WHFB never really had, aside from the presence of Sea Elves at the very beginning, unofficial nauticans and the ongoing in-joke that is the Fishmen.

[Shadowkin Speculation]

• Most Daughters of Khaine are dynamic and thematically strong enough to fit the new aesthetic, and are one of more complete "holdover" factions in terms of their range. I think they'll eventually get repackaged on rounds with a battletome, but might not get a new miniature release.

• Darkling Coverns models currently look very intentionally static and regimented, and I suspect the whole faction will eventually be replaced or dropped.

• Scourge Privateers obviously have a very strong theme, but nautical armies (i.e. sea monsters, etc) are quite difficult to model in a land-based game with terrain bases. However, I heard a rumour that the Fleetmaster is in WQ now, so they might get a repack.

• Shadowblades are a cool concept, but a whole army of assassin-type models seems unnatural as they are an archetype that obviously relies on stealth. I think these two units, especially Dark Riders, are the most likely to get folded into the Shadowkin.

• Order Draconis are a strange concept to base a army around, and I don't think they will survive as a long-term faction.

Either way, I think the Shadowkin will basically be a entirely new faction.

Which doesn't seem to be the case. Yet anyway. 

Many seem to be waiting with regards to Fyreslayers.

In fact, they are seen as an "expensive" army to collect due to the absence of a box. For some, Start Collecting seems to have become the new "normal" - aside for filling-in a few gaps here and there.

Repacks are a great call. Libs/Juds/Pros all priced way too high off the bat. Need to give Fyreslayers same attention.

This is an issue for GW now I think. Everyone waiting, because they assume a bundle will come out for any given new army.
