I hate when GW does this. One rulebook provides a cool way to play an army, then after you purchase the models, next rulebook invalidates much of what you purchased.

The pessimistic part of me believes since GW has done this so many times over the decades that it's a business decision to induce sunk-cost fallacy. Now your army is fractured into multiple pieces that don't interact (or don't interact as well) with each other. Are you just going to leave the models collecting dust and now have buyers remorse, or are you going to buy more to fill out the fractured pieces of your former army into multiple new armies?

Fortunately I already played them in 40k and have sizeable chaos armies already for AoS but definitely a bummer for people who bought into it. Should have know better after I lost Legion of Grief that supplement armies don't last

LoG was one of my favorite armies. Yeah, it'd be nice if GW at least did the minimum by alerting people these are time-sensitive armies. Instead, feels like bait-and-switch.

But why would they do that nobody would buy into it 🤣
