Pestigors (and their Khornate brethren, Khorngors) used to exist way back in the day when I first played WHFB in like.... 4th or 5th edition? I can't recall. You can still find them on eBay for absurd cost. I loved the models back in the day. Had a lot of flavor with tentacles, bloated bellies, etc. I certainly wouldn't complain if GW went back to adding some units like this. After seeing the treatment Tzaangors got, new Khorngors and Pestigors might be pretty pimp. That said, this new book is awesome, and I can't wait to build up my army.

Couple of questions, since I haven't played AoS since last edition and am still trying to piece everything together. Do you get the allegiance traits (Thunderscorn, Warherd, Brayherd) just for having that keyword? I.E. do Dragon Ogors automatically get the free d6 move at the start of the turn? Or, do you have to have a warlord with that keyword, and then the army has it? Secondly, are the other different herd allegiances worth it? It seems like sacrificing the artifact and warlord traits for the ones you MUST take for those allegiances is pretty harsh. I see some really enticing ones for Warherd and Thunderscorn especially. I like the Dark Walkers (think that's their name), but I hate their artifact. Thoughts?

I agree the Chimera looks great. It's got an absurd number of attacks now. I really like the Ghorgon a lot as well, though. Jabberslythe seems more style than substance. His 1/6 chance of utterly shutting stuff down is cute, but you can't rely on 17%, and the drop from d3 to 1 for his boiling blood hurts. Again, without knowing any point values, it's hard to say for sure on any of these.

So excited for the new beasts army book. Two things... Firstly, the GMG Review of the codex emphasized the herdstone being a "reduce the armor save of the opponent by one," but the webstore warscroll says it's a -1 to the save. Any clarity on this? I'm asking because I'm curious if it will ultimately affect nighthaunt. Secondly, what are people's thoughts on the cygor? I love the model, but I'm curious if it's at all useful. Based on the warscroll, my hope is that it's very cheap?

Hey folks, I'm interested in Idoneth, but I'm a bit tentative. My chief opposition would be Tzeentch demons/tzaangors and Nighthaunts/Death. We don't play hyper-competitive lists by any means, but we also don't intentionally cripple ourselves. Does Idoneth match up well with those? I'm trying to figure out what I'd like to play in AoS, and I'm struggling. I heard some whisperings that Beastmen might be on the horizon and am debating holding off until I know for sure if they are/aren't coming down the pipeline. Some of my concern about Idoneth is I love the big models (Leviadon, Alloplexes, Aspects) and it sounds like they kinda stink? Also, do Idoneth play like Sylvaneth? That's who I had before, and I wound up hating their playstyle (mostly how damned slow they were and their relative weakness to ranged/mortal wounds). So, I'd like something that plays different.
