    You might get lucky with some of the rats at least, since they have the Nurgle keyword so might get some use with the new Battletome.

    Aleguzzlers have no Battleline and no units qualifying as leaders and the units for the bataillon (5 gargants) are more than 400 points so you cannot use them as allies.

    Alarielle shouldn't be in AoS - Ungrim Ironfist, Thorgrim Grudgebearer and a tonne of other fantasy characters should have been resurrected before her!

    Dispossessed became more viable with the new General's Handbook - there's a Warhammer Community article about the new Dispossessed rules.

    This doesn't bother me as this happened in the Old World as well. Celestial wizards scryed the skies the same way the Lizardmen wizards did. That was actually the primary parallel that I saw, the Celestial order rather than the Seraphon.

    Although Lizardmen did it better. I imagine everyone else here will agree...

    A Night Goblin shaman (Hooray!), a Ghost Knight and a Chaos Marauder Queen.

    All of them are decent models IMO. I just had wished for someone other than an SCE.
    The Goblin is really cool and I also like the Death model.
    The Chaos Queen... yeah. She's basically a female version of the Silver Tower Darkoath Chieftain.

    Well you can always use the battalion in a mixed destruction army, which I actually plan to do ;)

    That's possible but IMO the mixed destruction allegiance abilities are mediocre.
    It can work though.

    Does anyone know if the models for the Malign Portents will be available individually or only as part of a set? I'd love to get that Warqueen but I refuse to purchase a Sigmarine.

    No clue yet but if they are part of a box set I guess they will become available after some time. Thats how it went with other models.

    I shall not provide GW with profit for a Sigmarine! :rage:

    I guess Ebay it is then!

    What was the approximate time period between the set release and the individual releases for the other models?

    IIRC the Darkoath Chieftain for example was released three months or so after Silver Tower release.

    Just give in, you want to join us. Turn to the dark side young one ;)

    Also, a bunch of em still haven't been released seperatly, korgoraths & lord relictors you can still only get in the starter set if I remember correctly.

    Not even in the slightest :cool:. I would give up the entire hobby before I converted to AoS (unless AoS changed so fundamentally that it was a completely different game... and they removed the Sigmarines!).



    Good to know. Thanks for the info. I guess it is Ebay or bust then. It's a shame because I got a GW gift card that I wanted to use to buy it.
