So who has this book, and how's it lookin"
I was so pleased they finally gave "the little people" some love, it's the only collector's edition Battletome I've bought thus far. My army is based on tiger_g's Valencia family from the old Animosity campaigns, reinvented for Age of Sigmar. I would eventually like to build three Freeguild armies:
Vito Valencia, with an all-Gryph cavalry force. General on Griffon, Battlemage on Griffon, at least two lances of Demigryph Knights, and then a bunch of Gryph-Hounds.
Vicardo Valencia, with an all-Steam Tank force, backed up by a 40-strong mob of union-buster thugs (old militia kit led by the old Mordheim witch hunter model)
Volodymyr Valencia, with a combined-arms army of blocks of Halberdiers, Pistoliers, and Hellblaster/Rocket artillery batteries.
... but I already have a whole stack of army projects ahead of them, so we'll when all that actually happens! As it stands, I have a start on all of them, but nothing fieldable above 1k points.
Since Huntsmen kit, Knights box, and cannon/mortar can't be bought anymore, are they even in the book
No, they are not.
Noticed that Crossbows and Handgunners are being sold in separate boxes. In the old days the bodies were on one sprue and the crossbows and handguns on another, so did they really change the sprues
Nope, still the same dual-build kit.
Volley gun and Rocket launcher are out of stock, hope that doesn't mean they are booting them.
No- if they were getting the axe, it would say "no longer available", rather than "temporarily out of stock". I just checked and it looks like they're back, so they must have done another run of them.
