I was very glad to see the Undead Legion list during End Times; although perhaps not as well balanced as one may wish, I was elated to finally see the Vampire Counts and Tomb Kings reunited, and our catapults and chariots returned with interest! I was also surprised but very interested to see the Elves recombined into new army lists for the tectonic shifts in their societies.
I am very inspired by the use of factions or sectorials within armies in other wargames, primarily Infinity, where limited selections within a larger 'combined' or 'unbound' army list renders advantages such as link teams, troop bonuses or availability of troops unique to the faction, occasionally from different armies.
I'm interested in exploring the possibility of bringing something like this into my Warhammer; I'm collecting combined Undead and Elves with the primary and simple solution of playing them in the original army book 'factions', but expanding on these by creating alternate factions; so far I've only considered 'Revenants', armies of skeletons led by powerful Wight Lords, and 'Corpsemaster' ie necromancer led armies.
. Is this worth pursuing now that WHFB has been discontinued?
. Any more ideas for different factions within the Undead Legions or Elven Kingdoms?
. Would the bloodlines each merit a separate faction?
. Could you see this method applied to other groupings of armies (Chaos; Men and Dwarfs; Orcs, Goblins and Ogres)?
