I admit, I'm interested in getting a Beastclaw Raiders army. But I'm waiting to see if they retcon some of the more insulting and dumb things about the lore first before I decide to play it.

Not for the beastclaws, for AoS. Specifically the gem of "This is one of many 'end of the worlds' that has happened, and Chaos always wins, deal with it." Which they made canon after the End Times.
It's rather aggravating when the creators of the game say "unless you're one faction, nothing your army does matters." So until they correct that mistake, I'm not really inclined to play in that setting.
And no, the nebulous named gods like Sigmar coming back don't count.

I feel like you might not have paid attention to any of the lore since the initial launch 3 years ago...because its *not* what you're describing. Its much more detailed, rich, and characterful than that. They've gone above and beyond to flesh out the setting into something that fans of the WHFB universe can sink their teeth into.

I will absolutely take you up on that. Last I heard the cycle of chaos was definitely still a thing, but I would happy to be proven wrong!

Nick P You already splitting the soulwars boxes with someone? If not I may be interested in at least some of the models. Not yet I'm not! Interested in the stormcast half? I'm aiming for the night haunt half. Got some of sigmars Boys already and I wouldn't mind adding a few more. How much is it if we go fifty fifty?

Its $136 with online retailers, so spit 50/50 it'd be 68 a person. You can even have the special ruler and dice that come with it lol I just want the nighthaunt stuff

Lol OK when does it drop again? Sorry being in Milwaukee (aka the warp) has the news reaching me late.
Also I'm not sure when I'll be down later this week (I'm actually in Chicago today though.)
Just go e me a heads when it comes up and I'll grab the other half.

Its being released June 30 so we got some time baby! No rush, and even after the release the online stores will have it at that price for a while. We'll find a time when you'll be in town, and I'll order it a week or so out so we can do splitsies. Worst case scenario, I just ship the stormcast half to you.
PS I'm in the north suburbs now so slightly closer to milwaukee haha if that helps matters

rogerspacem ordered the starter, there was a deal online too good to pass up. It ends up being $62 apiece, got the whole thing for 124!
