Geisladisk posted:Actually are we sure marked Slaves units don't count as being in-faction amymore? They have the appropriate keyword. Marked Slave units and the 1 in 4 Cities thing is now covered by Coalition rules. Coalition units work normally for everything as part of your faction, but can’t be taken as battleline. E: oddly, Har Kuron appears to have both Coalition Daughters and allied Daughters, so you can run half your army Daughters I guess?

The Baumann posted:I'm in an area with a pretty big AoS scene and 3.0 seems as good a time as any to start. I like the idea of having a skeleton horde with Soulblight Gravelords and Ray Harryhausening it up. Is it possible to run a skeleton heavy list or are the real stars of the army the vampires in charge? Wight King and Grave Guard can make skeletons work fairly well - Grave Guard are Skeletons, But Elite, and Wight Kings are your skeleton heroes. If you bring vampires, Legion of Blood has synergies between skellies and vampires, but Legion of Night works for an all-skeleton list because your Deathrattle get a save bonus first round and you can use your Wight King and Grave Guard and Black Knights as ambush like you would any LoN units. Unlike LoB, it doesn't require vampires to get the most use of skeletons. The Wight King's CA lets Deathrattle units wholly within 12" reroll 1s on attacks in melee. On foot he's a bit more fragile, but his melee does MWs on 6s. On steed, he deals MW on charges. Black Knights and Grave Guard are both pretty good - a little fragile, but Deathless Legions will keep them coming back. Deathrattle basics are weak but very, very hard to get rid of permanently. You may want to bring a Necromancer for some magical support, and if you do go Legion of Blood you'll want a Vampire Lord and some other vampire units to take advantage of the Deathrattle/Vampire synergies of the faction.

It's a big pile of wounds with a ton of attacks, and unlike most monsters it can heal itself. So that's cool. Its unique spell is...well, it's a big gamble. But as a big vampire monster, it's pretty good at killing things. Loves to charge at enemies, and in the new rules that's going to be pretty good for being both a hero and a monster. It's over 400 points, tho.

Ogors got pretty big price bumps except for Thundertusks, but they didn’t get any stat changes. With the new tricks for priests, I’m actually thinking of running a Thundertusk over two Stonehorns, myself. Gonna be a bit before I’m sure how the points increases shake out, though - with almost everyone getting them across the board, and the general shrinking of unit sizes overall, I don’t think our good big boys will be particularly weak.

Two sets of boards are so I have enough for 2000 point play. One set is sufficient for 1000 points.

Vampires plus skellies is an entire vamp subfaction these days. Gloomspite is your main go-to for goblins now and the new changes have made it unclear how they’re going to shake out - there’s going to be experimentation now that they can5 just stack to hit mods. I expect them to roll heavier magic and use endless spells more.

The Deleter posted:I just want to make it clear that the Kruleboyz own and I will brook no dissent in this thread. I didn't buy Dominion because I'm currently wrestling with wtf to do with my Deepkin at the moment, which is probably "wait 2+ years for GW to and give us a new battletome", but that's not a knock on the box itself. Oh yeah they own hard, I’m looking at finding good 3d prints to make Long Orcs as a combined force, in part because I refuse to allow the Bonesplitterz sculpts near my person and in part because Long Waaaaaaagh

I'm honestly super looking forward to the Path to Glory changes and what they plan to do with new battlepacks. Points changes mean I'm having to rework lists, but it's a great feeling to actually want to use a Huskard on Thundertusk or a Saurus army.

They definitely want smaller armies and a more cramped board. I think it’s a good thing - they seem to be trying to encourage variety in units, and I like that aesthetically.

KO are great, and 3.0 is patching one of the bigger weaknesses of non-Nar armies by adding greater ability to counter spells with heroic actions. Your big fear is mortal wounds.

Business Gorillas posted:This is helpful but doesn't really explain why they had to blow up fantasy instead of just do to fantasy what they ended up doing to AoS That’s because it wasn’t a rational decision, it was a decision made by people who thought video games of their setting were competition to the minis game.

Grand Alliances don’t seem mechanically supported any more, though the concept still exists. And yes, it’s good that there’s actually room for Mesoamerican-styled human beings, with Seraphon now taking on more of a Space Angel/Stargate aesthetic to their stone tech E: the Realms ain’t going away, tho, they’re even reemphasizing origin realm for armies now.

Coalition units can now be used as battleline unless a battlepack specifically disallows it, so they walked that one back fast.

I think it's down to whether Kragnos gets the Warmaster trait from the FAQs, in the same way Nagash gets appropriate keywords based on what army you take him in from that. e: Overall though, I'd suggest just waiting a month to see what Ironjawz magic looks like.

AnEdgelord posted:You can probably ally the goblins in but greenskins have actually been split into two factions with the Orcs going into 'Orruk Warclans' (which is the faction the models in the starter box belong to) and all the Goblins and Trolls getting their own faction called 'Gloomspite Gitz'. There’s a bunch of gobs and at least one troll in Kruleboyz, tho. Sloggoth’s the biggest troll they’ve done, in fact, with a bunch of goblins riding on its back. E: two trolls. There’s the swamp trogg mounted orruk boss, too. Pity hobgrots suck.

Closest you'll get are the Ossiarch Bonereapers, who are kind of Byzantine legions of undead skeleton supermen created from artisanal bone and soul sculpting to conquer the world in the name of Skeletor.
