Yes, I have read them and while I agree the first book is aimed at 9-12 and the content is at that level it is not so with the sequels. The series has grown up with its original readers. When it concluded the people who started at 10 were 20 and the content is certainly at that level or at least 14+. I wouldn't let my 12- child read Deadly Hallows as it would definitely make me get up a lot during the night because of him having nightmares...

Why do people think Malerion elves are coming earlier? Former DE got DoK overhaul, ID are also on the darker side of Elvenkind so why not release some noble light elves first?

Mixed order uses mostly just warscrolls and still get to top8s so it's not that bad. People wouldn't blame GW if they weren't so blatantly pushing old stuff out just to sell more of the new. First compendiums had battalions, named chars and were pretty competitive, so they nerfed them to the ground a year later and now they will introduce Legends and basically say "we are removing this from matched play completely because some people still dare to play it, but as an excuse, you can now buy more of it"

I doubt GW could have done more for AoS in recent months. The amount of content since December is through the roof actually...

I hope not. Stromcast need so many changes that a new battletome is really desired...

Its listed as a battle trait so every unit should have it If the army has ID allegiance/abilities.

I just hope they will be allowed as allies for the Deepkin. Kharibdyss should be paintable to match them...

I would say Kharadron and Stormcast. Fyreslayers aren't even DoK level. Just old slayers with new lore each unit looking almost the same.

I am worried about the Legends stuff. I just hope it's not an excuse for discarding compendiums and phasing out other legacy factions from matched play in the future

Anything new from ForgeWorld?

I got up early to read the news...and got disappointed a little, but tomorrow is a day too...

Change is good!....Most of the time at least

I am still not convinced. The merging seems to be the fast and not the best solution to me. If we can agree that AOS is going to be there for many years more, there is plenty of time to develop all the smaller factions into something more. It just takes time. Hard merging closes many doors in my eyes and its currently done just because of the playerbase being impatient. There is of course also the opportunity for firestorm-like soft merging via multi-faction allegiances. For sure there are always exceptions like the herds you mentioned.

Why would they merge the factions they have split on purpose when AOS was born? It doesnt make sense and I doubt its going to happen. Maybe some minor swapping of units but not more. All the small factions are opportunities for the future and there are hopefully many years for them to expand them with DoK like releases. Smaller factions allow for easier balancing and in the end offer more variety because large factions always end up with FoTM builds while the rest of units eats dust on the shelves. Also the burden of knowledge in AOS is already quite high with warscroll abilities, allegiance abilities and battalions so I dont think we need more complexity for now.

Does Order have some scary war machines for ordinator to support?

Now thats what I wanted to read. Thanks a lot. Its always nice to have something to possibly look forward to in distant future, because you arent completely denied and on the other hand nothing is confirmed so its not a letdown If it goes south in the end.

A slightly off-topic question for the exalted rumourmongers. Is there a chance there will be an AOS release from Forgeworld in not that distatnt future? And I mean full faction/subfaction release like Legion of Azgorh or Tamurkhan's Horde? I suspect the answer is no, but I still have to ask because I like their stuff a lot.

Its really not fair to spread so much hope. I know its a rumour and this is a rumour thread but I am still going to feel so let down If it turns out false and new Aelves wont be released this year.

Video blogging.

I dont know much about 40k, but I have read through the article and it seems like most of their december releases are not customizable easy to build variants of some existing models. Is it really something we should be interested in? I mean, its nice to have some cheap alternatives but its definitely not something we should be angry not getting right now. I dont like new Lord Celestant model much, but given the fact I plan to field my SCEs as Ogres in KoW too, he actually fits pretty well :-D

Another community member would actually be quite happy with yet another stormcast chamber.

How exactly these rumours work? I am still new here but after seeing the last I somehow expected that they reveal what it is after some time but now it seems they just keep publishing images and never give answers until they eventually release the stuf...

Are there any AOS releases rumoured till the end of year? I mean something new or at least Blightwar-esque with a few new minis? I started follwing AOS a few months ago and it seems to me that the first half of the year was pretty rich when it comes to new stuff while in the second one there is just Shadespire which is really a different game and doesnt bring much to AOS itself.
