Ogre Kingdoms Cavalry

[Pete_Dunn]

Hi,

Are the OK Cavalry and the Thunderlord likely to be added in the next datafile release?

Thanks

Pete

It would help if you could quote the White Dawrf # the article appeared in for refference...Incidentally in this case it's p. 48 WD #308 (US)...Incidentally this is for Forge World models and conversions...I'm not sure how official they are but they're certainly cool...

 

[Pete_Dunn]

Sorry about that. My understanding the White Dwarf article made them Official.

Thanks

Pete

Quite alright...Not everything in White Dwarf is automatically official...The frustrating thing is that they don't always say what is official and what isn't...Then again it doesn't make much difference...You should always check with an event sponcer ahead of time if using anything that isn't in an armybook..."Official" (aside from the BRT and armybooks) is strictly in the mind of the arbitor...

They're all 'official'. They have all been written by Games Workshop. The real question is do they require your opponent's consent. From page 22 of US White Dwarf 309 (October 2005):

These rules - as with all rules that are not contained within the Warhammer rulebook or Warhammer Armies books - should be used only with your opponent's consent.

I would debate them being "official" just because they're in White Dwarf...I seem to remember the "Movie Marine List" from USWD 300 which was about as unofficial as you can get (though hillarious)...Also as far as most tournies are concerned it's only official if it's in one of those sources (or the Chronicals/Annual)...The nice thing about the Annual/Chronicals is that they flat out say "official/unofficial" on the side of the first page...

Well, to quote from the Imperial Amour, book 2: of course they need 'opponents consent', so does everything else in the game. Otherwise, we couldn't play. But they're certainly official and legal.

That doesn't mean that I think they should end up in AB, though. Or there would be no END on things to add.

 

[GMTemplar]

DannyBoy2k, there is no END on things to add, no matter what. It's just the order of things to add that's the question and it should be based on the popular demand. There's no point wasting time on units that only two people on the continent have miniatures for when there are still whole armies not included (*cough* DoW *cough*).

 

[DannyBoy2k]

Well, true. On the other hand, I'd suggest getting the armies WITH armybooks fully done before the ones WITHOUT. And probably rules for various kinds of play, such as Border Patrol. THEN things like the Dogs, Chaos Dwarves and the like. And after that, supplement army lists and so on. On the third hand, it's easy for us to yammer, we aren't the ones doing it. Basically, Robert decides.

 

[GMTemplar]

Dogs don't have book but there's quite a big portion of players using the units, no matter what army they play. I would expect all armies included before Border Patrol and the like - I don't even know anyone playing it.

i would love to add everything, but that would take weeks, and i dont have thatm uch time to spare :~( if people ask for something a lot, i will try to do it sooner

 

[deathlynx]

I know a friend of mine would probably like these as well since he plays OK and purchased these from Forge World...So I'd say that's two votes here...but DoW come first as it affects everyone (well except those pesky Brets )...

OK Rhinox AB3

I play with some of the best players of the game 5 of which have the Rhinox in their army. I know it's in AB2 but not AB3. Drowmaster
