mikethefish Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 15 hours ago, Overread said: Honestly I'm surprised both that GW didn't make the Warcry units battleline and that Marauders are still in the game. Seems that GW wanted to keep both and have them compete even though the former (warcry) are vastly superior sculpts in almost every way. Not being Battleline could hurt them, esp as AoS is generally quite "expensive" point wise for units to get into the table. Even if we ignore super-pricey stuff like Archaon and the Varanguard, there's still a lot of high points stuff in Chaos and most of the other armies. With the new categories/key words, they could easily be conditional Battle Line. Only if Ravagers, or only if there is a Ravager general - something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but there are Kharadron and SCE Warriors in the list above, if you want Order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I think we've only heard about the above list but there are supposed to be 15 new warbands and that list only accounts for 9 so who knows we might see them.

There is a lot of Warcry, chaos warriors and chaos knights, then you have the endless spells. That's quite a few new models. I'd say Skaven, Seraphon, FEC and Cities have more need for new models than Everchosen/StD. Edited December 5, 2019 by zilberfrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I'll probably use the kayric acolites (DoT) as marauders. They are far better looking and can be used in both StD and DoT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annarborhawk Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 20 hours ago, Grimrock said: The point changes for the everchosen stuff sounds... Drastic. You can currently fit 12 varanguard, archaon and a gaunt at 2k with 120 points to spare. Really that's what I was hoping for, the models are so expensive they really needed a points hike to justify the cost. As long as that comes with a significant boost in power in going to be extremely happy. Also picking a mark for the varanguard should pretty much guarantee a purchase for me. Someone in the STD/Chaos thread said they heard 300 pts. for Varanguard. I'm guessing that means Archaon is probably now something like 800+ pts. So 9xVaranguard (900), Archaon (800+), and Gaunt Summoner (say 160ish) gets you close to 2000. BTW, this sucks for me. I bought 15x Varanguard and Archaon a few months back before the announcement , and they all had fit under 2000 pts under the old book. I knew it was a bit of a risk. But I didn't think I'd lose the ability to field 6/15 of them. Now what do I do? I have 3xblack 3xblue 3xred 3xgreen and 3xpurple. I drop the black and purple? I suppose I can swap in the appropriate color if Archaon can still mark them in-game. That's a hell of an expensive luxury though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartazjb0y Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 So Warcry warbands can't be battleline but anything about if they can be marked? Would be awesome bringing them into my Khorne army, and the line from the preview saying you could bring your entire StD force into another monogod army does suggest so but it wouldn't be the first time a preview has a somewhat misleading line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed. Last two years they've announced army updates with a teaser on Christmas Day. That's my guess for the next "big" reveal opportunity. Between now and then I think it will mostly be slaves and warcry cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
