    I wonder if this set is going to be an early release set (as the Sisters box is rumored to be) where the box comes out and then no more Ossiarchs  until early next year. It's really strange to see an entirely new faction in a battle box also.

    It's a marketing way to make you start an ogor army :)

    i think the biggest problem with ossiarchs is the base troop is too small for the "elite armor faction" 

    chaos: chaos warriors on 32mm

    order: liberators on 32mm

    destruction: ardboys on 32mm

    death: bonemeal terracotta soldiers on 25mm

    if they beefed up the mortek guard to look like they could go toe to toe with the other 3 "marines" then they'd look awkward manning the catapults. I feel like they should of had a noncombat "worker" unit which would make sense as somebody needs to grind the bones to make the clay, shape it into the various pieces for the constructs,  etc. So it kinda feels like a wasted opportunity.

    Yes, a ants style army where fonctions (worker, soldier...) determine the look of the base troop would fit the theme.

    I'm feeling something similar, I don't know if I want an army worth of them. But there are some models that I feel are really awesome.
    Maybe something like using them in LoN or something as a component in Death Soup might be it.

    My problem is similar, I love the big boss so so much, the catarpillartillerie would be so nice x2, but the rest, 😕…. which will make a strange army :)

    With the soon to be 3 consolidated Destruction factions all uniting a few different themes and races together, I wonder if I’m the future we won’t see any exclusive one race greenskin armies for destruction but rather see orruks and gitz combined to fit themes. 

    Greenskin sky pirates or steppe warrior greenskinz using both races could be cool. 

    I would indeed prefer for exemple steppe ogor + steppe greenskin than steppe ogors + maori ogors

    I actually kind of like that look, but would be better if the weapon side was either holding a larger weapon (I really like the dual wielding greatswords stalkers), or if they were holding two different weapons.  The halberds those models are carrying look too short for the extra arm to be meaningfully helping.

    I like the shield and the 4 skulls' double handed sword (of the champion ?), could try some custom... and put more armors... i find the battlelines too beefy and the 4 arms dudes too skinny. More generaly, i am so far only 100% convinced by the mortarch (probably my new favorit mini) and the trebuchet. Cavalry guys are a bit too static... Hoping for ranged troops as well and waiting to see close up of the leaked stuff.

    It would be cool to have a huge massive beast. A big, rare and epic monster made all of bones like a giant skeleton or a massive Dragon or something that explodes our minds. Giant centipede, giant bug, giant crab or giant duck toy or a brutal teddy bear made of bones and freaking things 

    The croco bones harvester is rather large, it could be all we got in the "massive" category

    So, I have very little time to paint here lately.  And, I'll probably be finishing my 40K army in the near future.  I was considering starting an Idoneth Deepkin army for AoS.  I love the models for this army... especially the Leviadon.  Anyway, while I know there are always good savings in the Start Collecting and the Battleforce boxes, is the Deepsurge Raiding Party box for the Idoneth really a good deal?  I've done the list building, and it only gets you to 820 points which is shy of the 1000 points that seems to be the lowest baseline used in the AoS rulebook.  The way I have found to remedy this is to, at some later date, buy Volturnos.  Swap out the Tidecaster for Volturnos, and you hit 1000 points on the dot.

    I would rather build my entire army around Akhelians so that I could run Akhelian Guard as troops... essentially, I'd rather have a mounted army.  That said, I can see the use in having some infantry as well.

    Anyway, all that said, is the box really a worthwhile value if I'm more-or-less going to be throwing away the Tidecaster to run Volturnos in its place?  Or would it end up being about equal if I was to buy all of what comes in the Battleforce separately except for the Tidecaster and use that money for Volturnos instead.

    Also, as a final question, for Idoneth players, is this Battleforce box a good starting place for someone who would like to slowly get into Idoneth?

    Thanks

    Hi, no the battleforce is only worth considering if you fancy the models. Allopexes and reavers are a pass in the competitive lists so far. But you could wait few months for a probable Start collecting box which could include some eels and/ or a king. Plus there is some chance the battleforce will not run out of stock quickly, so you could still buy it later if needed ...

    Hi guys, I don't have all the books yet, but I for the love of the models I will buy  the christmas box for the reavers and Allopexes. Has someone thought of synergies (heroes, items, battalion, spells...)  to make a shooting ID list ok-ish ? thank you !!

    I play casually in a group of 5 so generally go 'rule of kool' over competitiveness.  IDK are one of my 3 armies and I do love to start new projects,  I already have the following:

    Akhelian King

    Soulrender

    Lotann

    Tidecaster

    Soulscryer

    30 Thralls

    6 Eels

    10 Reavers

    Leviadon

    Allopex

     

    With that in mind what do you think i should get for Christmas? An Eidelon OR the Daughters of Khaine battleforce box (as very cool looking allies)??

    100% Eidelon for me. I dislike to take allies and it's such a sweet model... It may not be the best for your list now, but before you finish to paint all that, the point cost of ID should have been updated :)
