    @Lucky Snake Eyes Good to know. I probably won't be playing super competitively, but it seems like factions that haven't gotten any battletome support yet often leave a lot to be desired. Hopefully when Darkoath comes out the book will be more than just barbarians and the Slaves will get wrapped into it. My vision of a Chaos army is something akin to the old "Hordes of Chaos" which included various units who followed different gods (or undivided), joined by beastmen, ogres, and trolls united by a leader or leaders. It seems that kind of build is discouraged under the new rules, but I suppose it's best to wait and see what happens with Darkoath.

    This sounds like a great vision and would make an awesome army, competitive or not I would say you’re still better off following the plan you have in your head and enjoying it.

    I mean no-ones entitled to anything to be fair. GW don't release stuff on the basis of who are the most deserving or long suffering fans, they release stuff that will get them more money. 

    Precisely. And I guess GW have to think what will sell more models and make them more money; a new tome for a thus far neglected faction, or an updated tome for a faction that already has one.

    I'd rather they updated old AoS era battletomes first (with new minis) , before making more beasts of chaos style. Or a ratio 2:1 would be good. People entering AoS have higher expectations of support then people who bought their minis like 10 years ago. Or at least should be. Ironjawz and Fyreslayers are AoS products. Not Skaven and High Elves. At least not yet. 

    This doesn’t really work, as GW are still selling the models and advertising the ‘older’ factions.

    By this logic, as I bought some Skaven yesterday, I should be entitled to a Battletome before someone who bought there Fyreslayers 2 years ago.

    Had an idea for a feculant gnarlmaw, but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger customizing one of the two I have left to build (largely because they are expensive and hard to come by) so i figured I'd post the idea here and get other opinions before I pull the tigger.  Basically I would build the tree, then hack it apart to make a stump similar to the image.  Just not sure how good it would look because the tree is gorgeous, but it would mix it up rather than having 3 similar ones.

    It would be a shame to carve one of them up, could you scratch build it? Some floral wire and plaster wrap made some very simple Nurgle trees for me.

    I have the new GUO magnetized and one of the old metal GUO (which I will eventually have ride a mound of Nurglings).  To round out Thrice, how is the Forgeworld GUO?  There are other metal versions out there I could try to acquire as well.  The last option is to try my hand at sculpting my own, and maybe using the magnetized parts from the plastic one to bring it all together.

     

    Basically, if I'm going to run 3 unclean ones, I want 3 completely different sculpts.  Thoughts?

    I have the forgeworld GUO, it’s a cool model and was tonnes of fun to paint. If you can get it on eBay for a reasonable price (more likely with the new model and recent warscroll change) I’d definitely recommend.

    IN the build of a transportation box, Do you know if rare earth magnets will work with magnetic sheets? Or is better to go the metallic sheet route?

    I used some magnetic sheet (for printing fridge magnets) today and it worked fine with my magnetised minis. Metal sheet is a stronger attraction though. I use metal sheet for transport boxes and cut up the magnetic sheet to put in movement trays.
