Have a browse through the COS range to see what units are there. Also, everyone will be cool with you running models that are no longer supported as the closest thing. Nobody will complain if you run old White Lions as Phoenix Guard for instance. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-W...661373060000%5D

Itll depend on the specific models, the Tree units in WE formed the basis of thr Sylvaneth faction and while the female Khainite models form the bulk of the Daughters of Khaine faction. Otherwise most everything else got dumped into Cities.

Really depends on the stuff, and there's quite a few that still exist in the Legends booklet so YMMV. Empire troops mostly came through intact as CoS, and I think its just the non-gryph charger knights and the greatcannon* that are just gone. High Elves In a weird situation where while Phoenix Guard got split into a Cities unit, the regular troops portion essentially got updated into the Lumineth faction, while technically still existing as-is as Legends units. Dark Elves likewise where most of the non-khainite stuff got folded into Cities. Wood Elves on the other hand lost a *lot* of stuff; as said the tree units were the basis of the Sylvaneth, and cities got the Eternal Guard, Wild Riders, Wildwood Rangers, and Sisters of the Thorn, plus Glade Guard and the wizards as legends. Wardancers, all of the birds, and all of the various archers didn't even get a legends entry. THAT SAID Cities is pretty much something you can go nuts with using old models to stand-in for stuff as long as you're not too bothered by keyword weirdness. So, like, WE archers work as Shadow Warriors or Sisters of the Watch, HE spears can be less grim Dreadspears, et cetera.

I'm deeply suspicious of this new-fangled Age of Sigmar stuff, as the last time I spent any time in a GW shop there were millions of wee lead men in blister packs on hooks, and the 6th edition Fantasy rulebook had just been released. That said, I quite like the look of those new Dwarf Irondrakes. Can you rank them up on square bases without any issues?

You can make/find square movement trays that will let you rank up round based units. Check out "Conquest: Last Argument of Kings" as while it has the stupidest name possible, their base system is very clever.

Watching the Sons of Behemat battletome slowly morph and become the Imperial Knights codex in front of my eyes. I open it up and there's six different relics for Gatebreaker Gargants. None of them are any good.

SoB would be a lot less boring if they played more like Imperial Knights. Also heres hoping nobody needs to use those awful mancrusher gargants ever again.

I’m almost certain it’s ogors vs gloomspite because those are the two factions left that have neither had a box drop OR a White Dwarf update. SoB got their update a year ago, first of the lot. E: and they’re done putting out WD updates, it’s been like three issues since the last one. All the factions that haven’t gotten one have been the ones getting new boxes.

That teaser is almost definitely for SoB, especially since all their models got removed from the site a few days ago, presumably for a 3.0 reboxing. The mancrusher sculpts are pretty bad and realistically they could really use another gargant kit (and a reason to take more than 1 type of gargant) so I wouldn't get my hopes up for any troggs, as much as I love them and want Gitz to be anything other than the "fun models but you lose 100% of competitive games" faction. Ogors and Gitz are basically both in the same position of having a mostly modern line that just needs some battleline / hero sculpt refreshes, so a versus starter box for them would make sense.

I may have asked something similar before, but can anyone tell me how you would start to make a Khorne themed warriors of chaos (rather than nude dudes with bad tudes) army that includes a large number of mighty skullcrushers? Do you need the khorne and std books? Is there interaction between the two or would I just be able to use std? I haven't done anything aos related for a few years and only ever played KO so I've got zero idea how multiple books and chaos allies work if at all. E: I understand taking a couple of the nude khorne guys is good for the army and I'm on board with that, I just like red and brass warriors primarily though. It doesn't have to win tournaments, just be functional I guess I could use the cool new chaos warriors and give them khorne hats to make them blood warriors and not worry about all this messing around? Hmm I could just juggerlord, juggernauts and fill the rest with bloodthirsters and khorne hounds that sounds like my poo poo JBP fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Aug 31, 2022 |

If you want a Khorne and Slaves to Darkness army, yes, you should get their books. One in four units in Khorne can be S2D, if you want, though you’d still need Battleline from Khorne so you’d need to take three units of Blood Warriors if you want armored non-naked dudes. If you run S2D Khorne themed, you instead have to use Allies budget on Khorne units, so you have a points limit on how many you can take as well as max 1 in 4 units being Khorne.

Oh hell yes the new Ogor and Gargant are both amazing. If Ogors got a battleline revamp of that quality I'd start them in a heartbeat. The current sculpts look alright until you see this new one next to them lol.

This was an amazing stream. I was wrong about Gloomspite but now I’m wondering if they do a box with cheaper than normal giants or if they break pattern on ogors vs sons.

Honestly wonder how King Brodd is going to fit into SoB armies - it seems like he would have to be more expensive that the current Mega-Gargants, but there's already zero wiggle room on points, so that would mean losing another body in an army that already really struggles when it comes to objective coverage. Guessing he's gonna buff up Mancrushers so that you're basically choosing between Mega-Gargants or Brodd + the smaller guys. Hopefully they find a way to make other options worth taking, because the models are so cool but the "oops all Gatebreakers" lists are boring and even those are barely competitive nowadays.
