Ok is AoS being run by a entirely different team. The new blight war set is loving 250 dollars the hell you don't even get that many models.

No Blightwar costs like 315 there. For comparison Dark Imperium costs 250 there.

£95 same as Dark Imperium here, must be a pricing error.

These new compendiums are missing a lot of units. In some cases, most of them.

E: the Skaven one is now two units. Chief with standard and Skavenslaves. This has to be a mistake.

They didnt update all warscrolls, just the ones that needed it. Its basically errata to the compendiums on the GW website.

For example, there's no mention anywhere in the Orks &Goblins warscroll of the Aracknarok but it just got a new packages kit today.

All the characters have definitely gone as they have "alternative wallscrolls" mentioned on the back page. Also they replaced the old links for the compendiums with these ones on the store page too. I'm guessing it was deliberate but they'll back pedal a bit as it makes no sense to remove models. e.g. back of Skaven compendium (from the rules section of the store and the FAQ updates version)



Just grabbed the new GHB and it does have a points value for the Aracknarok under Spiderfang Grots, so they've moved it I guess.

EDIT: for a positive update though, the Open War cards are cool so there's that I guess :/

No they all had stats in the original compendium, plus lots of those models are still being sold. Like Deathmaster Snikch, Ikit Claw and Queek Headtaker. (Though in the store they now just go by generic names.)

I'm 99% sure most of those warscrolls were the same as the substitute ones they list there. Like Ikit Claw and Arch Warlock were already the same on the tabletop, this is just making it so they don't have to bother with a separate warscroll listing.

Nope different in most cases. If they were the same I would not be sad. Ikit Claw and The big Saurus king Kroq Var actually had the same rules as generics, but most were unique.

Though to confirm it is a bit hard as none of the old compendiums are left from what I can tell.

Dang, Naeve has 7 -1 rend attacks. For every 6 to hit she gets another attack. Deals 2 damage to heroes.

But they left off the Hero keyword so she can't technically be fielded. She has no unit type.

They might've missed the keyword off her, as looking at snail guy he does have the Hero keyword and it'd be odd for her not to be classed as one too. These chracters do not have an entry in the Pitched Battle section of the new GHB either so they may have points costs and Hero status added in a FAQ at some point.

Many of the old Warscrolls are still individually downloadable from the store - But that sort of defeats the purpose of an omnibus.

Gnarlroot requires a Household Batallion. It gives you one extra spell per caster. It now costs 250pts.

I think it's a swing too far as far as adjustments go.

I have no idea what they're doing. In the Dark Elves one for example, in the substitute warscrolls section it saying substitute Blackguard of Naggrond for Blackguard, and Supreme Sorceress for Sorceress, neither of which appear in the compendium but are available separately. I'm wondering if it's because they're Darkling Covens and not Dark Elves.

It's probably because nobody at GW gives a poo poo about compendiums, especially when GHB2 has Allegiances for Snowflake Two Unit Squatting Faction. Have to say, I like the erzac tercio and commissars that DE pirates get.

So far for my Chaos dudes I've only got Blades of Khorne stuff, and a Slaves to Darkness Lord painted in Khorne colours. I'm working on some Putrid Blightkings and can't decide if I should paint their armour plates up in the same reds match the existing guys or to keep them separate and paint them in the traditional green. Ultimately I'm planning on adding units from different Grand Alliance Chaos factions such as Beastmen, Skaven, Tzeentch etc.. and in hindsight should've painted my Khorne stuff in a neutral scheme with red accents so that each sub-faction can carry it's primary colour as a secondary instead.

Soooo thoughts on whether I should paint the Nurgle armour green, Tzeentch Blue etc... and make them a loose alliance or tie them together with red?

(I know Khorne hates magic and would never let a birdyman join his gang, but besides that, any thoughts or alternative/better ideas?)
