    They cut the forsaken that was a fairly new kit, but 1 box is compleatly different to a whole range, even if they do cut them I have an army that can use the free rules for quite some time and most of it can be used, proxied or converted to vampire counts over time so not overly worried, just a bit disappointed if it happens (as I have also been a chaos dwarf and dogs of war player)!!!

    Forsaken may have been removed for a resculpt.

    It's a nice kit, but very staid due to the limitations of needing to rank up for previous editions. With that removed, they have more potential to make Forsaken extra gribbly and dynamic.

    Plus, Forsaken feature in the latest AoS novel, Wardens of the Everqueen, so they definitely still exist in the background.

    As I said take it with salt but at least from what I know from my friends who play in tournaments, Tomb Kings were a rare sight (they saw more beastmen and Bretonnia then Tomb Kings). If I was to hazard a guess at all I would say they would be removing the older Tomb King units (Warriors, Chariots and all the finecast/metal kits left) as well as the Tomb Guard and keep the Necrosphinx as with a darker paint job it might blend in with the other 'elite' undead (Nagash, mortarchs and Morghasts).

    Speaking as a former Tomb Kings player what killed them for me was the lack of released content when they were redone for 8th. sure we got a few new plastic kits but what about the basic skeletons that were (and still are) showing their age? I played chaos and Tomb kings since late 6th and then just chaos when Tomb Kings release disappointed me.
    Step forth and be recognized.
    No mercy. No pity. No hope.

    I can see some of the kits being retired, sure. But not the whole range - the Skellingtons and that are indeed showing their age (did you know, that the Skeletal Horse is now GW's oldest plastic kit still in production?)

    Erik did raise some relatively recent retirees, but importantly none of those was really a fully-fleshed (hurr) army, so much as alternate builds for existing armies with a couple of new units at best.

    Interestingly (and over optimistically ) if you combine skellingtons (and archers) tomb/ grave guard, horsemen and archers etc, remove all the finecast that leaves 34 warscrolls (and 1 for the new bone giant thingy)

    Not that I think it will happen!

    See, that sounds far more plausible to me.

    I still don't see them ditching plastic kits though. All the stuff so far has been Finecast or Metal.
    Chaos Forsaken say "Hi!"

    That's a plastic kit they ditched. Not in the Chaos tome, either.

    Oh, looks like other people noted them first.

    Anyway... I can see it happening. This is, after all, a whole new universe and all, and Khemri no longer exists. The excuse that they'd keep stuff around for people who have said army doesn't really work when they've blown up a whole world and game system already.

    Will it suck if it happens? Sure. Would it be the least bit surprising? Nope. Better to just expect it and accept it if it happens, and cheer if it doesn't.

    Yet a big thing was made of New Lahmia in the latest sourcebook - and that Neferata styled it after her old seat of power.

    So that would mean War Statues etc.

    Not to mention Arkhan The Black. He's still kicking, and is a Liche Priest.

    Yeah, but that leaves things open to just add in new stuff going in a different direction, like the Morghasts. They're Khemri-esque, but different enough to be something new.

    If they save the Sphinxes, I'll be happy. I love my Warsphinx.
