The Stormcast Questor also went OOP a few months ago, I know because I was after one and it was removed from the webstore, despite being in the Battletome. Its back on the store now though, so we dont really know what they will do until its actually done. EDIT: Ah just seen Klamm mention the deathrunner was not on a separate sprue, so can understand why it was dropped, but Hero's are still possible to return.

I really want to add a Chimera too, Anyone have any thoughts on their use?

Always make your unit upgrades, they are free and give benefits. If you are using a unit of 30 then you dont NEED 3 banners, but its allowed and doesnt hurt as if they are scattered around the unit it means you can be more flexible removing casualties without losing their benefits.

We really need to start a 'Kharadron wishlisting/fixing' topic, so much discussion in here about stuff that isnt current rules and its not often obvious.

Thats pretty much how every army is at top level, but i agree it would be nice to have some actual flavour put back into them. Who knows when that will be.

Where there not some SC boxes in the price lists recently leaked? surely they must be coming soon.

Think this is covered in the lastest FAQ, bonuses only apply once so it would probably be d6 hits + 1.

He might be being rather over pesemistic. Its unlikely Elves will be redone before the GHB and we dont yet know if any unavailable models for Grots or Skaven will be removed from that anyway, so its likely youve got 6months minimum, probably 18months or more.

That FEC book looks pretty thin, obviously its just a mockup render but hope its got some reasonable content. Was quite disappointed when my Nighthaunt book dropped through the door on release day, felt like it would double in thickness if they included the 4 pages of rules.

Thing is if these players are not buying new armies, they are not a great revenue stream, so losing them is not an issue (from a business perspective), you lose gamers all the time for many reasons. You get far more revenue from creating new big exciting things and people buying new armies than you do people buying a new unit for an existing army. I agree from a community perspective its great to keep friends in the game, but that wont keep you business growing.

Hoping FW pick up on some sort of Hero line, like HH but for AoS (and 40k). The heros from the books that have not (and will not) get plastic models. Would fit their capability, freelance approach to small models and customer interest.

The latest Voxcast (that alternative to Stormcast podcast but for that other inferior game system ) mentioned race specfic scenery was becoming more of a thing for 40k, so this is most likely (in my eyes) an Imperial Promethium station for the Astra Militarum. OR, even more likely, its a Dispossessed mining cart, the replacement for Steam tanks

I would imagine they will continue to do one-offs, certainly they seem to have scaled back on 40k compared to other systems. I hope they do some AoS, i really want Stormcast upgrade packs, and KO packs or vehicles would be beyond amazing! But im cool with them not churning out loads of options and new units with crazy OP rules and points 🤣

Maybe they just dont want to branch AoS into Forgeworld stuff in a big way? They seem to be back on the 30k train, and with specialist games also getting a lot of support they might be scaling back developing a lot of stuff for 40k and AoS. The last things they produced for 40k were a Necron Knight sized thing and the Primaris supertank (ok so the new titan is also 40k but primarily 30k). I wonder if there are any more rumours for Forgeworld stuff that went under the radar, and might indicate what they are planning. Those Stormcast heads kinda came out on nowhere.

Have you got any spells? either Malign sorcery or stormcast ones. They are good fun and with 2 Wizards you could probably get some good use out of them, dropping the Ordinator for a couple of cheap spells would be my change to the list. If you know which you might want you can pick them up individually on ebay or similar, cheaper than the full box set if you dont need all of them or the Malign Sorcery book.

The real question is, why no dispossessed at Cancon and under representation at other events? And what are we going to do about it! I wont get mine complete for my next event but hope to get them done for a few later in the year. Just ordered 20 Ironrakes 😁

Yep. Its all in the core rules FAQ https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Core-Rules-and-Bases-Sizes-EN.pdf Battalions have their Faction Allegiance keyword (odd fact, its not actually written on any of the Stormcast ones in the new battletome) Battalions have their Grand Allegiance keyword. All units within the Battalion gain the battalions faction Faction Allegiance keyword.

Unfortunately what people are saying is correct. If your army composition lets you take (example) Stormcast Allegiance, you must take it. You cannot take Order Allegiance, and therefore as you are not Order Allegiance you cannot add Free Cities Allegiance. To get around this there are 2 options; Take allies not in your faction allies table (this option doesnt work for Stormcast obviously as they like everyone) Note this would mean no battleline-if would be allowed as you would not have that allegiance. Factions without any allegiance abilities (Order Draconis for example) can only take Order Allegiance abilities, its currently unclear if this lets them take Free Cities Allegiance as they technically have an Oder Draconis Allegiance (and battleline-if) but just use Order Allegiance abilities. Take no more than 1599 pt (in 2000 pt battle) total of main faction, so breaking you allegiance. Note this would mean no battleline-if would be allowed as you would not have that allegiance. Note to ensure final army met free city criteria minimum of 1600pt would need to be spent on factions from the free city. Although now free cities can take allies, so upto 400pt of your army could still be any Order ally. Examles; (as above this assumes no Battleline-if are used) Tempest Eye Allegiance - Legal (Stormcast below legal for their allegiance, dispossessed and Stormcast are tempest totalling 1800pt, Btreonnians are legal Tempest allies) 1500pt Stormcast 300pt Dispossessed 200pt Bretonnians (Order allies) Tempest Eye Allegiance - Not legal (Army is valid for Stormcast allegiance as Bretonnians are legal allies for Stormcast) 1800pt Stormcast 200pt Bretonnians (Order allies) Tempest Eye Allegiance - Legal (as Bretonnians are not legal allies for Dispossessed, but are for Tempest eye) 1800pt Dispossessed 200pt Bretonnians (Order allies)

Yeah I asked that a while back. I think there are Grundstocks in the skyports so they share colours, but there is no reason (given paint isnt a rule) you cannot make up your own approach. Im planning a frigate and Thunderers unit to be a different scheme to my fleet as they will be a rogue captain/contractor working for my admiral.

Just sent my monies. Hopefully still places available or should I have been on the button at 00:01 this morning 🤣

Crashed because of the rush to buy recently restocked Engines of the Gods.

Has anyone used the Dias much? Have a list where i use a balewind to expand the range of the Incantors spirit storm spell, but wondering if the points are better spent on a Dias. The extra movement might be a help but 2 spells when on the balewind seems better.

Thats a good point, do we have any rumours/predictions/calculations when the next batch of warbands will be released? while they dont seem to do direct tie-ins it would certainly need to be talked about / explained and that might give a bit more rumour to what could be coming.

There has been lots of discussion on allies since it was created, might be interesting to have that changed up. Could possibly be a specific combined allegiance, like an expansion on the freecities idea (that would be ace!). I always liked that they broke factions up the give them a story, a place in the AoS world(s), maybe they think that has been achieved and its safe to start merging factions here and there (with suitable story). Exciting times anyway.

Only one thing for it, Dispossessed must rise again! Show of force at tournaments is required, or some grudges will be written 📖
