Considering how they design The Excelsior Warpriest for Warhammer quest, that probably right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironbreaker Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I doubt Freeguild will change too much if they are upgraded. This is their general appearance in Black Library. Still poofy but a bit scaled back and armored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could mix some Dispossessed or Wanderers or even Darkling Covens models in there with no problems, particularly if you did a little conversion work. I absolutely agree with you on this point. When it comes to playing the game just play WYSIWYG and use or convert the models you like. 😎 According to their warscroll, my Freeguild Guard models are armed with swords and shields. That's it. They are not "humans armed with swords and shields. They are models armed with swords and shields. My Freeguild Guard has plenty of human models in it but also dwarves, aelves, halflings, goblins, and even a ghost and a skeleton! I've yet to meet someone who cares that my Free People are so multi-cultural. I get the feeling that many people think GW has far more resources than they actually do or else that their job is much easier than it actually is. My money's on a Free People Battletome by the end of next year. But if you think all they need to do is "just" release a whole new line (or two) of models you're gonna be disappointed. That's a process that takes years from start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolution black Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Does anyone have concrete info on what is in that cities battletome? Is this where the dispossessed are ending up or is it just a joining if several smaller factions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lior'Lec Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 If I’m reading the Warhammer community post correctly several of the smaller factions will be rolled up into the freeguild as a single entity but your selection of realm and/or city changes exactly what units you can have available as part of your army. I’ll have to re-read it later after I’ve had my minimum daily recommended quota of caffeine. I’m already making mental lists of which model kits I suspect will get discontinued and debating if I’ll want them for kitbashing/bits (and finding lots of “yes”’s).

Not-not-kenny Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 The only kit I will be real upset if it gets discontinued is the freeguild archers and I haven't seen them in any pictures from the event yet which concerns me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarmofseals Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I've been working really hard on a competitive Freeguild list, and I guess this will send me back to the drawing board! I'm OK with that 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a shame since they're far better models in my opinion than the crossbowmen/handgunners. They have lots of character and come with a dying orc! Oh well...if they go then my archers will just become "crossbowmen cosplayers". I hardly have any crossbowmen as it is and more than 30 archers! Still very excited about this new book! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiagoma Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Several models are "missing" from the photos. I wouldnt worry too much about it. That said i really hope they give us information soon, so we can see how this alligeance is going to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silchas_Ruin Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Looks like the Firestorm expansion is the base for this, I like how they work so could be good and its a way to use a lot of the old small fractions. But if small human / aelves fractions don't get a place here I'm wondering if they are going away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No support < GHB Allegiance < Combined with City-Slickers < Combined with Sylvaneth < Battletome: Wanderers Not at all - we're one notch up from where we were yesterday and two notches up from when I dropped hundreds of dollars on the army in the first place. And if the WHU 3 teaser has anything to do with Wanderers [or aelves of a similar aesthetic] I'll be over the moon. Ultimately Wanderers players have already won because we have the coolest models and theme. 😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im asking as an example, for a regular human army from azyr with shared visual elements with Stormcast (because it makes sense) where the only "Super Powered" dudes like warrior priests can invole the power of sigmar. Not asking for Thor. I gave an example of an army of azyr, but whatever city or realms fits your fancy really. As long as its new. I think they need their own identity. The stormcast sigmarine look is just awful. I love the old empire models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have 2 factions from the same place with a completely different look and theme, things will look weird and out of place. Like I said, I gave azyr as an example. People get too rustled.

Well many armies need a revamp. So I guess it’s best to wait and hope, since it looks like that the book probably won’t be bringing any new models to the range. although I might be wrong and probably will be very jealous, since the skaven are as well in dire need. although I’d be happy if they changed some of the free peoples esthetic, I’ll be hoping that the theme of the free people what was it 17th century something, stay as they are.
