Want to get those Death Knights and Crossbows ASAP, and I know my SO wants her troop boxes now that she has her core set. Doesn't want to buy the Coreset multiple times.

We'll actually see things sooner than we think...

Those dates seem to have slipped. This was in the display at Gencon:

interesting...

This happens with FFG products all the time. It's safe to assume when something is announced it will come out 1 quarter later than they initially state. It doesn't always happen that way, but it is common.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the upcoming page is generally accurate, but isn't always. While 4-6 weeks on the boat is standard, it could be less and it could be more. Just look at how long Ghosts of Dathomir has been on the boat. :|

If Uthuk isn't out Q4, with at least the command pack, I'm going to cry. I want to dominate my oppressors with Uthuk so bad.

I remember the first expansions for Battlelore 2nd Ed were on the boat for like 4 months.... worst spring ever.

I remember when Wave 6 Armada took April through July or somesuch. They should never load things on a Victory Star Destroyer.

Armada wave 4 was on the boat for about 2 or 3 weeks, must have put it on a cr90. My hope is the elf infantry upgrade and leonx is similar to this. Given previous rune release, I don't think they'll drop more than two things per faction.

It's interesting, if this stuff takes more than 7 weeks to hit stores, then the only units legal for Worlds are those that are currently already released.

Totally jazzed for the Uthuk!

Honestly the way EVERYTHING switched to on the boat at the same time seemed to me someone was about to change something (like the uthuk maybe) to on the boat and they realized some other things were still hovering on at the printer...maybe not that is just my hope as I would like to be able to flesh out my elf army a bit more sooner than novemberish...also I like new stuff every month...makes me happy.

Wouldn't be the first time. The upcoming page is only slightly better than guessing. Following the release pattern, we should know within a week if we're getting anything this month. For example the Elf box went to shipping status on August 2. If they do release this month, I expect it to be on the 21st.

NOT looking forward to DKs. They look like a real problem i am unsure how to deal with w/o facing them first

3x1 Crossbows are probably the best bet. Ignore the mortal strike utility, go straight for hits. Even a single volley is almost assured to remove a tray.

Archers can reduce the effectiveness of cavarly

There's been a lot of wishing for Daqan ranged and Waiqar cavalry... is Ankuar Maro + Oathsworn Cavalry not a thing?

Sucks that 3x1 is going to be the best but you have to buy two upgrades for that...

Maro and Cavalry isn't a thing, he spends a wound to do his stuff so killing a whole Oathsworn is a huge waste.

Think he meant Maro's listbuilding ability which lets him bring any nonwaiqar nonunique unit into his army.
It is a strat some people do, though im not sure if it has any validity since the faq on cross-faction units. Usually when i run them with daqans i just have Rank Disc and Tempered Steel anyway so i dont THINK the faq messed anything up.

It does, however, have 2 issues. One being it lacks any Daqan synergy such as Hawthorne to make the cavalry a true threat and two being the basically wasted turn to get rid of the blight tokens they start with. For a flanker unit thats big.
DKs are harder to kill than Oaths and not counting their Death Touch upgrade theyre slightly weaker (only slightly) and they wont have the turn1 blight problem.

Daqan can get archers via Kari but then 1) that means Kari is a standalone hero, yuck... and 2) theyre pretty much just generic archers...they shoot and move quickly. Our crossbowmen are actually somewhat unique for a ranged unit..i want them!

The Oathsworn don't have a white Rally modifier, unfortunately. There's probably a lot of potential still, but I haven't tried much because of the Rally

patiently waiting for the death knight release.

Slow boats give us time to paint ?, come on slow boat.
