There's a Ravening Hordes list for them if you can find the booklet or PDF.

There's a well-balanced indie GT rulebook. Hey, if it's ok for the GT, it should be ok in your FLGS. That's the book I'm using.

I voted for not starting an army. :(
Will be doing well to get my daughter's Woodies sorted, and then the BoSP Gobbos and Dwarves done.

Would be great if I could build up the latter armies, especially the dwarves. They are starting to demand a bit of attention from me, but there is so much to be getting on with already.

Not sure exactly why but if I could start a completely new army it would be the Beastie Boys.

Can't help but notice that in another thread regarding the 8th Ed rumours that Chaos look to get a boost, and guess who is currently leading the poll?

Friend O' mine's starting Empire, so I needed to switch

I was contemplating this myself.

If you buy from waylands, you can get 100 Skeletons or so, 30 Revenants, and a BSB model for only like $100. Its crazy, because Waylands give's you a big discount on their already discounted stuff!

I will be finishing my Dark Elves first. Then if i for some reason want to build another army (I have 3 unfinished 40k armies to work on) i'll pull out the dwarf book I have (I own a grand total of 1 dwarf model).

Continuing my Goblin army, and slowly amassing a collection of big hat Chaos Dwarfs.

Vampire Counts using Mantic

Empire using Warlord ECW (90 inf and 20 cav for £50 and 4 cannon for £40)

Dwarf using Skull Pass figures

For me Tomb kings, after they release the Errate for it coz at the moment with 8th ed Tomb kings Suck.

Probably going to use Perry/Victrex Napoleonics as Empire. Trick is going to be making that fun to play with and very importantly making it fun to play against. I don't want it to play as a stationary gun line

I am not sure if it counts as "starting a new army" if I already own majority of the models needed, but anyhow, I feel like building Night Goblins and one or two Warriors of Chaos armies (one Nurgle, one Khorne). In the meantime, I may paint some new units for my Empire army and re-paint my old Tzeentch Daemons. All of the armies are more or less started in previous editions but most of them never saw the tabletop (I don't play with unpainted models), so 8th edition gives me a good reason to pick up brush again. I had a test game today with Nurgle Warriors against Empire and the game seemed lot more fun than 7th edition.

Not effectively "starting"... more or less "getting into but already have the models"..... and yes..... SKAVEN!!!!11!!1oneelventyone!

I will not start a new army.

Just continue my empire one.

I have a bad feeling i"m gonna start a skaven army if they're in the boxed set. Heck, if that happens I might as well do Ogres, too.That'll give me a complete set (sigh).

im looking at either

O&G
Ogres
Lizards

Slann magic just looks broken now, especially if the ability that lets them throw an extra dice at each spell doesnt count towards the PD pool (which i dont think it will).

Just starting into fantasy myself with Dwarfs. What little I tried of fantasy was with the 7th ed rules with a friends Brettonians (really didn't get a good feel for how a good game goes because the friend in question is a notorious power gamer and was using Daemons on me, that still didn't daunt me from the game though ). Picked Dwarfs mostly from the Gotrek and Felix books I've read and decided the models and fluff was awesome.

I'm considering Beastmen, Dwarfs, and Dark Elves.

1. Beastmen just because Minotaurs and chariots are so sweet.
2. Dwarfs - 15" charge range now possible and more dependable War machines.
3. Dark Elves - I would eventually like to build an infantry heavy DE list with lots of warriors and witchelves or Corsairs. Magic would be fun as well.

Maybe Slaaneshi daemons and that is just because of the new models.

I'd love to revist Mordheim and Ostermark for the Empire, my former SoC General Jared von Strudt needs to come back out onto the battlefield.

Sadly thats unlikely to happen until at least this time next year, if not longer.

So in the meantime I'll be continuing to build up my Druchii, and probably making a 1500pt force of High Elves based around the new Warhammer box.

My wife plans on taking on the Skaven, while continuing her WoC.

I've always wanted to do a Wood Elf army that was all trees...

Dwarves, Empire, Gobbos (but not Orcs), and Skaven.

Dwarves and Empire because they have guns. And guns are cool (duh). Even moreso when they're facing off against medieval enemies.

Gobbos because... well, they're fun! Especially spider riders.

Skaven mostly because they'll soon be easy to get, but I also like the Yakuza feel of Clan Eshin.

I'm starting with Skaven. Planning to try Clan Eshin with some magic.

The local gaming group has been cajoling me to try Fantasy for a few years now. I flirted with it a while ago but decided not to go through with it when I realized the ridiculous model count in a standard Fantasy army (I play Deathwing in 40k, haha).

When I heard 8th was coming out, I bought a box of High Elf spearmen on a lark and had a great time putting them together and painting them (for some reason it seems like less of a chore than cleaning and assembling Space Marines, I guess because it's still novel). So, High Elves here I come.

I'm finally gonna stop changing 40k armies. And start a Warrior's of Chaos army in the fall.

I'm either starting a Daemon army or an Ogre Army. If I'm feeling really insane an all Goblin army.

High Elves

maybe empire or lizardmen


I have no tastes for the evil armies aside from VC

Despite what I've read and heard, I'm looking at starting a Bretonnia army because I like knights. Hopefully their new army book isn't too far off, and will give them a bit more of a fighting chance than they currently seem to have.

Mn, when they get a new army book I imagine it'll be adapted to 8th edition and thus be able to kick ass just as well as any other.

My ultimate goal is to have 3 WHFB armies at 2250pts to start with then expand their point ranges from there. I am working on Wood Elves atm. The other two armies I plan on building are High Elves and Beastmen. My FLGS is running a slow grow league beginning in August so I'm going to get in on that. Should be a fun way to learn and play 8th ed.

High Elves: I have a small mix of old High Elf spearmen and archers. I also bought a box of LotR Galadrim to see how they'd look painted up as High Elves (easy source of spears, archers, and swordmasters, since I was too cheap to buy metal swordmasters). Now that HE are in the box set, which I need to buy to get a small rulebook anyway....

Warriors of Chaos: I've always had a chaos army (mixed demons/warriors/beastmen) on the backburner. I'm thinking of making Tzeentch warriors now.

Skaven: Gotta put those starter-set figures to use! I'm not eager to paint endless hordes of rats though.

I was looking at a number of options for my next army. Tomb Kings, O&G, Chaos Mortals, even Empire, but I think I'll be doing Skaven now since I outta be able to get a 1200pt force for a relatively cheap price. I can kit out the rest of it to 2k fairly easy without giving up an arm and a leg.

Re-starting Dwarves. They look great.

bought the warriors of chaos book today its going to be my first fantasy army. wish me luck lol
