Imagine if Sigmar tried to make amends for his past aggression by saving the Dragon Ogres from Chaos and reforging them as Sigmarite Draconith Ogres.

Could be cool, but SCE already has lots of units. Than I would rather see Dragon Ogres becoming their own army, which also seems very unlikely. Imo the StD armylist is also full. I fear that Dragon ogres are (temporarly) gone from AoS ruleswise.

They might be back in S2D or Chaos Dwarves eventually. Perhaps even in a Destruction faction?

Oh, so you're just gonna let Teclis win?

Our group might just use 2nd ed rules. I tried to convince them to go with 4th after we all disliked 3rd but not having access to CWs etc. is such a huge fail for me personally that 4th would be instantly dead to me. GW really needs to give us our own warriors and no, Tzaangors (despite me loving em) aren‘t enough. I want armored humans! 😎

The core rules are pretty solid, the only thing that needs a clarification is the companion rule, to know wich abilities affect them and wich doesn't

Have you looked under the weapons chart for the companions weapon trait?

Your own abilities have no effect on your own companions, but the abilities of your opponent have an effect on your companions and visa versa.

I was just watching the flip-through of the new Core Book, and something from the Cities section caught my eye (and got me too excited/hopeful again):

There is no mention of Ironweld anywhere in on the 2 pages Cities got. I'm 100% biased here, but I'm thinking this means Dispossessed will be where we get heavy infantry (instead of a unit of Arch-Knights) and the cogfort, and they'll probably shift from "regular dwarf warriors" to "regular dwarf engineers" (lower tech than Kharadron, less refined medieval/renaissance steampunk vs almost sci-fi airships).
And they finally have an official, written down reason to go on Dawnbringer Crusades, with them building the strongpoints when they reach their destination (probably in the Dawnbringers books already but I still don't have them :D)

Privateers and Darkling get the usual mention of making up the fleets of the cities (I don't think Darkling were ever mentioned as being part of the fleets before), so I still stand by my theory that if aelves stay in cities they'll be nautically themed.

In the end, in the DB we have dawis and even in the short story they are engineers/ miners.

To hell with it, they’re now Bonereapers units. But only the Shaggoths. The small ones have joined the Kharadron.

Whitefang Jr. did mention the cogfort, and now with it being tied to dwarfs (and them disappearing into TOW), I wouldn't think their time is too far away.

****** it, here comes CoS wishlist 5.0;

  Hide contents
  1. Dispossessed Cogfort
  2. Dispossessed Steam-Walker (Steam Tank replacement in terms of size)*
  3. Dispossessed Heavy Infantry
  4. Dispossessed Engineer
  5. Devoted Priest
  6. Devoted Flagellants
  7. Devoted Fanatics
  8. Freeguild Marshal on Big Mount
  9. Freeguild Bombardier-Major
  10. Collegiate Fire Mage
  11. Collegiate Life Mage

BONUS: Terrain and Endless Spells

*: I really want new Gyrocraft as a reference to Khazalid flying machines that were the precursor to Kharadron vehicles, but I'm not sure if GW want to have flying dwarfs in two factions.

All Ironweld units cut, Ironweld Great Cannon keeps the name but gains Freeguild Keyword, all Fantasy dwarfs removed. Luminark/Hurricanum stays.

Dark Elves stay until Malerion and get refreshed after that with a more unique nautical aesthetic (Dispossessed = Kharadron Lite, Cities Aelves = Idoneth Lite?).

 

Let the Hurricanum go.

More Dragon iterations for Stormcasts? Is that even possible?

Does it mean my theory could be right about they removed BoC to let a free spot on another army with buff references (chorf) ?

From September, that is the contest ending.

I did think abotu september, but if the reveal is on august, isn't september too close? It's just less than 30 days for preparing all the orders.

Shout out to Relative_War4477 on Reddit for typing up what the text actually says. Its horrifying. I love it.

I just started my 4th or 5th chaos dwarf campaign in total war yesterday. I'm so ready to see some chaos dwarves in AoS.

We already have 3, 5 (Hammers (in 3th edition they have 2 attacks, 3+/3+ rend -2 and 2 damage) That's pretty elite), and 6 is basically a runelord. I can't imagine that they would drop the dispossessed from CoS in favour of TOW and than add a simular  replacement for AoS. So I don't think this will happen.

Instead of 2, I would prefer a duardin hero mounted on something big or what I would like even more is an Aelf on some dragonlike creature (replacement for the Dreadlord on Black dragon).

Also 4 and 5 would fill the same role, so one is unnecessary.

I would also prefer to see something that could replace the Dark Riders.

Anyway my wishlist.

  • An Aelf on a dragon as replacement for  the Black Dragon. I would love to finally have a proper rider for a dragon in AoS and that's an Elf/Aelf.
  • Instead of duardin heavy infantry, I would like to see somekind of duardin ranger-like unit and a mounted duardin unit. Either chariots or somekind of heavy cav that is slower than the Cavaliers, but even more tanky. Heavly armoured duardin cavalry mounted on bears or big AoSlike goats.
  • Human or aelf fast cav to replace the Dark Riders or duardin on agile mountain goats would also do 😄.
  • More specialist wizards like the warforger.
  • After the latest release of CoS I would loved a religious/fanatic second wave, but after seeing that Underworlds warband.. preferable not.
