RULE #2 IS STAY ON TOPIC.

The topic here being "Age of Sigmar News & Rumours".

All other stuff can go in a separate thread.

And no, going off topic and then adding in a "Back on topic now" disclaimer is NOT OK.

My lfgs were allocated 1 set of spires each.

'Well, that went fast...
You guys must really like those Skaven and Highborn models, because that set sold out in less than a day. Don't worry, we're making more, so none of you need to miss out on getting a set.

Thats awesome =D, I glad they are communicating so well, Also hoping they will have expansion sets for it.

That being the case, I can sleep like a baby. I can just suggest them to re-release the Battleforces next December or maybe each time there is a campaing/season, or maybe even Made to Order!

This was a cool idea, those are some great models. I got the Island of Blood when it first came out but ended up selling everything and just keeping the mini rulebook.. but they were fun to build. I was gonna start a skaven army at the time, but changed my mind (as usual). I'd love to see em bring back Skull's Pass the same way, I could always use more goblinses.

I would have sold out even faster if it were Bretonnians. God I wish it would have been Brets....

This release feels very confusing.
I have the Elves from 2 IoB boxes, and bought lots of phoenix guard and silverhelms just before it was apparent "the end times" was actually happening.
Most of it stayed unbuilt as the whole AoS thing unfolded, and when most of the IoB units didnt even make it to the grand alliance compendium, I had pretty much given up on the high elves.

Now this.
I cant help it feeling like a mockery, like barely healed wounds opened up again. I really like the high elves, we go way back.
Now distrust and cynisism instead of the exitement I had from building those lovely sylvaneth.
What are they trying to accomplish with this release? Bring new life in to an old beloved range, or just sell the lasting stock of a range they really try to bury.

that post makes no sense fayric.
everything has always had a warscroll even if it was legacy. if theyre reprinting it theyre obviously not trying to get rid of old stock...

I wouldn't call it communicating well. If that was the case, GW would have eased the fears of Sisters of Battles with their great communication. Well, is not deserved. At least they are communicating.

Haha, not sure about it selling faster but I wholly agree I'd love to see their return.

Edit: (oh, was that "I" intentional or a typo for "it"?)

Anyway, really happy GW is giving people another chance at this great deal!

Honestly I am just waiting for a Death release my vampire lord is starting to feel a little sad. Maybe possibly new zombies as well.

Oh well it's good that they are going to do more, in the end it can only benefit GW since AOS, 8th and 9th age players will pick up the box.

For a large company, making a statement within 24 hours of a product selling out is good communication in my book

Haha, indeed, hopefully Death gets some love in the near future. Nagash certainly isn't lacking for bodies to work with now that the summer campaign and All-gates war is over.

For some, GW can do no right and there's always some (often unrelated) slight they can call on. I think they're communicating well in the case of IOB/SOD. hm, slightly unfortunate acronym... (off, Bryan Ansell?) Those models are very nice ones as well for the most part (some of the Skaven are a bit sketchy, while some are awesome), but the High Elves are across-the-board lovely, and the price point is excellent.

I have 150 of those Skaven as slaves and another 150 as Clanrats. Given how low cost the IOB Skaven were back when IOB was the box set, it was an amazing value.

Agreed, some people will stop at nothing to make themselves unhappy and that extends to AoS as well.

At any rate, I'm happy that GW got a response out so quickly to confirm that this ISNT a limited release. I was looking to get one maybe next month but would have been out of luck otherwise.

Exalted Bloodthirster of Khorne

Around the Eye of Terror, and across the Mortal Realms, the fabric of reality thins and the greatest beasts of chaos stir behind the veil.

You Chaos fans out there have a had pretty good December so far, and it’s about to get better, because the Exalted Bloodthirster of Khorne will soon be rejoining the fight. These winged behemoths took a brief time-out from the battles on the mortal planes, while our warp-smith artificers re-consecrated their daemonic moulds, but they will soon be back to wreak violent mayhem on all who stand before them.

To mark the occasion, and since so many of you have asked about it, we set our rules writers the task of creating Warscrolls to let you use this Exalted Greater Daemon in your Warhammer Age of Sigmar games.

These are being worked on right now, and will be with you very soon…

New warscroll to be released with it. I'm hoping they do this for all four of their greater daemons (make them 'Exalted'). Especially an Exalted Keeper of Seekers.

Absolutely! An exalted Great Unclean One warscroll would make me so excited I'd unclean my pants.

Oh, that model. I always see him as An'ggrath.

..Few reports coming in that the app. has been updated with the then ... new old ..


errrr

with the Dawnspire set models' rules.

weird, i dont see anything on android at least.

As for GW can do no right, for me they have done a lot correct. I have spent a lot of money (well at least a lot for me) on GW in 2016 than I have in the last 5 years or so. So this has nothing to do with GW can do no right. What I find funny is the reason what I said so, is left ignored. I guess we can say, GW can do no wrong. Case in point.

And where is the communication within 24 hours when a portion of the community is freaking out over a potential product going on sale to clam their fears?

This has nothing to do with GW can never do no wrong. Just like it's not GW can't do no wrong. I just found it so weird someone would praise a company for something that should be done, not that they actually do it now, and if they are actually doing it, why are they not doing it all the time and only once in a while? Yes GW is FINALLY communicating. But them doing it well? That is a lot to be said about that.

But as there will always be "those people that GW can do no right" there will be "those people where GW can do no wrong". See I can point and shame just like some other people did.

Our Made to Order service has already brought back dozens of Warhammer 40,000 miniatures, and soon, Warhammer Age of Sigmar will get its turn.
So we want to know: what would you like to see?
We’re looking for suggestions for any older models for factions within the Grand Alliance: Order book - Aelfs, Free Peoples, Seraphon, Sylvaneth, Duardin - whatever. If there are any models for those armies that are out of production, but you would still like to add to your force, let us know, and we’ll see what we can do.

Nice this would be a good time for Bretonnia players to get their hands on some stuff, for whatever game they play.

It was a weekend. They can't say, 'don't worry it will be coming back' without knowing for certain that there is production capacity/existing stocks to do so. That they responded on the next working day is about as good as you can ever get.

Just as GW send out this post, the entire Bretonnia population appears on the distant hill.

I really do wonder if GW have anything planned for the knight aesthetic in AoS, it's a staple of fantasy, tbh I imagine free people from the Realm of Life would take up a Bretonnian like existence, would fit them well.

Mordheim Marienburger and cultists. And Bretonnians. As if

Nuln Spearmen please

GW's fantasy humans aren't that good, so I'm just curious - thanks!
