Have always wanted bear riders in my dwarf army. Yes, I'll admit to it. I have a Dwarf army. have not played it for 3 years or more, but yes. I have a dwarf army.

Core troops rather than specials or rares would be more to my liking, but I would expect GW to push the monstrous cav, flyers and more expensive models rather than the rank and fileHerman van Kradenburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02436600778513944817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-38012840454539226622013-05-06T11:12:42.553+12:002013-05-06T11:12:42.553+12:00Yay.

It is still limited to 1/3 force organisation at the end of the day.<br /><br />I would think that allies will be available but limited to 25% of your army for 9th. Some will see it as list building but others will see it as more tactical flexibility. You will not see Skullcrushers of Khorne in ever army, as I think allies will still have to have a standard army composition, so 150+ core, <150 rare, <300 special etc<br /><br />This of course is assuming that army organisation remains the same in 9th.Jossyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386542471306291066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-44453289554612264102013-05-06T10:28:41.926+12:002013-05-06T10:28:41.926+12:00Maybe this is just a rules clearup for those who p...Maybe this is just a rules clearup for those who play Storm of Magic? hagennznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-41057811287888125642013-05-06T10:08:16.845+12:002013-05-06T10:08:16.845+12:00I would suspect that there would be limits on numb...I would suspect that there would be limits on numbers and which units can be taken a-la-dogs of war rules. Never the less I agree that it would detract from the game in a major way. The more I look at the way GW is going, the more I believe the overall marketing strategy is to create an arms race that continually force players to buy newer, bigger or better monsters, monstrous cavalry and flyers, just to remain competitive. (40K suffers from this in a major way. Just sold off my SM and CSM armies, as these are no longer competitive) I can understand why FOW is becoming so popular...Herman van Kradenburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02436600778513944817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-8778904691934044722013-05-06T09:58:15.295+12:002013-05-06T09:58:15.295+12:00I absolutely 100% believe there will be Allies in ...I absolutely 100% believe there will be Allies in 9th edition. I agree it would be a poor move but they've already done it with one game and seem to believe it will cause people to buy more models.Jeff Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12568554852606287519noreply@blogger.com
