I'm actually more surprised they released Silver Tower stats for him, I guess they really do plan to expand that one overtime.

Danm, his rules are powerful. Gonna guess that if he gets a points value for matched play, it's gonna be in the region of 200-300pts.

I'm going to guess 220pts, personally, but it should be noted that he is, at the moment, the best "popper" unit in the entire game. He can do the job of Chameleon Skinks in terms of disruption, can pop 3" away from a unit, and is an even more extreme hero/monster hunter.

Given the nature of the model, I don't expect him to actually get points. He is a narrative character, after all.

I agree. I don't see them going back later to give him points. If he was going to have them then it would have made more sense for them to have been on his Warscroll.

New entry to the Damaz Kron for not giving uniqe mini to company magazine name giver. At Bugmans Brewery people are really pissed.
Also its really dumb that he has 2 axes, when in the previous fluff, he had only 1. So in the Dwarf Tavern we collectivly decided that this mini is an impostor, thus new entry to the Damaz kron and put a bounty on the head of this induvidual.
Its funny also that they call him the White Dwarf when he leads the Duardins, the White Dwarf only aids dwarfs. This is just gets confusing the more they go into to it.
I am kind suprised that they made him a god..
Oh well its GW, so I dont get shocked.

I don't think they're ever going to add points to the warscrolls. GW doesn't seem to want Matched Play to be labeled as the "official" way to play, just one of the ways to play. We'll see when future factions are released, but I fully expect to only see points in the back of the battletomes.

We'll have to wait and see until we get a release that's not in the General's Handbook to see what they do.

Right, previous fluff. Now it's been over a thousand years and he seems to taken up the title of the unforged. Until they put forth more information we don't what happened to him to cause him to lose his old equipment and take up this new path.
It was said in jest on the Brewery but the idea that he's become a slayer due to not saving the old world and Dwarf race is an interesting idea...
thus new entry to the Damaz kron and put a bounty on the head of this induvidual.
Good thing he's in the AoS setting then. No grudge book.
Its funny also that they call him the White Dwarf when he leads the Duardins, the White Dwarf only aids dwarfs. This is just gets confusing the more they go into to it.
He's keeping his title from the old world, is that really surprising with stubborn traditionalists like the dwarfs? If you went to the future and your country was vastly changed with a new name I imagine you'd keep your old country allegiance instead of immediately switching over.
As for matched play, I could see him being narrative only but we'll have to wait and see. (Maybe get Auticus to work his magic if points don't appear in the future)

That being said, hope AOS is making it in the positive direction.
Obviously anecdotal evidence, but locally AoS has taken over. There seems to be very little 40K comparatively. The GHB really set the local scene alight.

Of course real reason he has 2 axes is...The slayer model has 2 axes because that's how generally slayers were depicted!

Even though I don't play them, I hope the next Battletome is Chaos or Death. As far as "new style" Battletomes go with abilities and spells, we already have one Order and one Destruction.
Probably should be Death. The only Battletome they even have outside of Grand Alliance is Flesh Eaters. Pity that none of the other subfactions really have enough to be a full Battletome on their own, except maybe Deathlords which would be about the same size as Everchosen.

Death can't get away with repackaging more though, they really need new units ala Sylvaneth rather then Savage Orcs/Beastriders.
Though we probably won't get spells with all of them, though it seems when one didn't get spells they got a unique chart (Beastriders)

According to Hastings, who reappeared on the comments section of War of Sigmar, there should be a release of new skaven and the LoC and a new starter set, although he does not know the timeframe.

"Some great boxed games" sounds good. Great to know that AoS will be getting some boxes too. Seems that Hastings does not have much info on AoS though and he has claimed many times he is not interested and therefore has less info (although seems a lot more sympathetic now). Good news on the long run, but we are back to our shortage of info in the short run!

I wonder what new Skaven will bring. Likely to just be rebases/rereleases, but maybe we'll get lucky and they'll flesh out another clan like they did for Pestilins.
I'm not expecting much for a while, though. AoS has had a lot of time in the sun, they're clearly focusing on 40k for a while now.

I'd love to see Moulder get really fleshed out.
Updated Rat Ogres, maybe some smaller sized Abominations to run in units, rat cavalry, more giant rats... there's a lot that can be done with Moulder and put to use across the various clans.
Some cool looking Eshin stuff would always be appreciated too.

After a run of (to me at least) exciting releases (Flesh-eater Court, Sylvantith, and Beastclaw Raiders) it does seem kind of quiet on the AoS front. After the (again IMO) fumbled Fyreslayer release I'm not too exited about an upcoming Duardin release but I could get exited about a Tzeentch release if it was built around some new Silver Tower style miniatures, and not just a reboxing of old WFB miniatures.

I'm really craving some Sigmar news. I think the string of releases the past few months has got me craving stuff badly. Now I know how the 40k players felt...
Problem for me is none of the releases were really my thing, Tzeentch Arcanites, Duardin or a Skeleton release would have me sold.
