>TQHysh >Azyr > Shyish > Gyhran >Ghur = Chamon >Aqshy > Ulgu
Azyr sure looks interesting.
Another game with my WIP Sylvaneth, rematch against the Mawtribes. Unfortunately, I didn't get as much work done on them as I hoped I would this week. The game went a lot better than last weekend, though.
>>92565116>The game went a lot better than last weekend, though.Good to hear. What changed? More points or just different lists?
>>92565116I added a 10-branch unit of Dryads to my army, per the point changes earlier this week, making it an even 1,000 points. Had to sacrifice an Endless Spell to do it, but I think the Dryads were the better choice. They managed to distract a unit of Gluttons, allowing the Tree-Revenants to Waypipe into the Mawtribe backline and hold an objective while most of the other ogres were mulched by my Kurnoth Hunters.>>92565135I think the points reduction allowing the Dryads helped quite a bit. I also changed my strategy. Last time, I had all of my units engage different enemy units, which is a terrible choice for Tree-Revenants, who tend to be obliterated by ogres even if they get the charge. This time around, I used them (which is to say, the squad that wasn't with the Dryads) as a screening unit for the Kurnoth Hunters, which is in a follow-up picture.
>>92565116>cobblestone streets with trees>barely any terrain (may as well not have any)god this table looks dreadful. are all aos games like this?
>>92565154The Kurnoth Hunters spent a couple of turns breaking down the Gorgers while the Tree-Revenants blocked the Gluttons from double-teaming. The Revenants were murdered, but they did their job. My friend summarized it as,>The side dishes are foightin back.
>>92565164Not everyone owns perfectly matching terrain and tables, anon. Let's see your games, then.I know it's bait but I'm hungry.
>>92565175On the other side of the board, the Treelord engaged some Gluttons, but didn't manage to wipe them. This led to the Gluttons and a volley from the Leadbelchers to drop him.
>>92565068lumineth fag detected
During the fifth and final round, the only models I had left on the table were my Branchwych and this Tree-Revenant Protector, who I used to charge the Butcher leading the ogres. He ended up the hero, cutting away the Butcher's remaining Wounds. He managed to survive a volley from the Ironbreakers, but they overran him in the following Charge Phase. The Branchwych, in turn, faced a similar fate from Glurrons down in the Wyldwood. Another big change is that I gave my Branchwych the Vesperal Gem, which allowed her to auto-cast Verduous Harmony and bring back a Kurnoth Hunter.IIRC, the final points ended up being 14 (me) 16 (ogre friend) with the final round (5). Considerably better than last weekend, where I surrendered by turn 3 and had maybe 1/3 of the points he had.
Ulgu has quite a bit thats open to interpretation.
>>92565181i was told that aos games didnt look like pic related but ive yet to see anything to the contrary
>>92565250Ulgu still doesn't have model representation for the faction that supposedly owns the biggest share of Ulgu.
>>92565164We're playing at an LGS and the fantasy-themed table was already in use, so we had to make do.>>92565259This is our table from last week, though I'm sure you'll still find a reason to complain.
Been slowly chipping away in my ogre army, but now I'm unsure if I should follow through with all infantry as pale guys. Would having 3 different gluttons units work out if I decide to mix them up? By that I mean have one pale unit, one dark and one caucasian.Or am I now stuck with these guys. I did regular skin for slaughtermaster and he contrast quite nicely with ice blue base
>>92565343post the slaughtermaster in question
>>92565352Still a WiP
>>92565284Ah, aquarium decorations. Truly the sign of a sophisticated wargaming experience.
>>92565393I'd say mix it up like that, yeah
>>92565395So, you're saying you don't have any game photos...?
>>92565395Idoneth Deepchads, laugh at him.
>>92565343I'm personally a massive fan of having some way to differentiate who's in what unit in your army. Skin tone is one such potential way, as well as different markings, be it color or style, on some of their gear, or even just a set of stripes on the base.
>>92565409Thanks for input
>>92565420>>92565422You misunderstand. I wasn't being sarcastic. I fucking love using aquarium terrain for wargames. They make some cool ass shit for fish tanks after all.
>>92565259So, what I'm assuming from your reply is that you don't play. There is also nothing wrong with that battlefield except that I feel it's a bit sparse. The terrain matches fine for what looks like a ruined outpost of some sort. Sure, the objective markers are quite garish, but at least they try to be themed for the game and aren't branded markers that look like crosshairs or something.Now, if you're truly interested in discussing why AoS tables "look so bad" and not just shitposting for (You)'s, I'll go ahead and share my hypothesis. I don't disagree with you, but they're not as grim as you make them out to be. People are largely playing with what they've got, but even the most "professional" tables look a bit off because in my opinion AoS has LAUGHABLY weak environmental art. This lack of a strong environmental aesthetic leads to a lack of inspiration for homemade scratch-built terrain as well as having a similar effect on GW's own sculptors. Here's a few quick examples of what I feel qualifies as bad and decent art from what I was able to find in short order.
>>92565438Sure thing buddy
>>92565453I wouldn't call that Chamon art good "environmental art" since it doesn't actually show anything besides the city and therefore tells you nothing about Chamon itself
>>92565453thats nu-aos art though. actual aos backdrops look like this
>>92565469I also can't see how ghur's is "Bad" since it pretty adequately depicts what the realm is like, what with the scarred landscape marked with massive structures that resemble bones, claws, tusks, horns and teeth
>Missed buying Tomb King army box, Necrosphinx and Screaming skull Catapult for TOW>get notification its back in stock via email>in the 6 minutes it took me to go to Games workshop dot com, it sold out again>Darkoath box is available for preorder>still in stock>GWs ugly skeletons sell better than their ugly womenWhen is GW going to learn?
>>92565259>4 model "army"just play with action figures
>>92565516you posted this last thread
>>92565516Completely, objectively, absolutely, mercilessly MOGG'd
>>92565343>Been slowly chipping away in my ogre armySorry sir, those are Ogors. This is the Age of Sigmar thread
>>92565527>elves>barbarians
>>92565540Ogors, are some some say Ogres...
>>92565516>>92565499SELLING FAST
When is 4th actually supposed to drop? Going to try out AoS on tts soon, curious if it's worth waiting for the new edition before I do.
>>92565527oh no it like AOS doesn't have DOK elveswait..how about you post WHF barbarian women
>>92565589>posts steroid monsters from Commoragh
>>92565565may 19 full box reveal but it be out early june
>>92565589>WHF barbarian womenThere are none because there are no human women in combat roles in WHF except for a character here and there. Only elves but their men are fags anyway so thats why they let their women fight.
The Grogs are going to get dementia if they keep posting the same stuff over and over again.
>>92565599
>>92565612I have forgotten more than you zooms will ever know.
>>92565634>pic has literally zero relevance to AoSokay grandpa it's time for your medicine
>>92565634I dont even know what you want me to take from this man
>>92565656newfag zoomies are dumb and cant figure out what 9 year olds could on their own in the 90s and early 00s
>>92565644ok
>>92565516Elisse Duchaard was available online for approximately 2 minutes before going out of stock.Pretty women sell. Ugly dont.
>>92565612Going to get? They already have it, man.
>>92565731And yet they'll still probably make less money off that model than the limited edition darkoath box.
>>92565731>Elisse Duchaard was available online for approximately 2 minutes before going out of stock.wondering how?
>>92565722these people are the reason why there are warning signs on everything
>>92565744>implying anyone is going to buy Sneeds to Darkness: Fatoath
>>92565562new ogre sculpts look great!
>>92565731GW prints a shitload of army boxes, they're always around for weeks or more. If you weren't such a brain-broken retard you'd understand that all you're doing here is exposing your own ignorance.
>>92565232why did he sprinkle grey pubes on that ogre
>>92565773There's still a kroot army box available at my LGS that I've been low-key eyeing up since the kroot would take minimal conversion to be something that fits in decently in AoS.
so AoS is basically League of Legends like from the lore? Seems very Riot-ey in the artwork.
>>92565499I know this is bait, and I know you know this is bait, but it's because GW made exactly 4 of each of the things you listed while the darkoath box is for a mainline game people actually play and produced enough stock to accomidate that
>>92565259Why would you start the match with all 4 of your Mega-Gargants clustered up like that? Wouldn’t you want to spread them out to get some objective control?
>>92565813>I just fucking made shit up as a wentUnironically based and soulful
>>92565788>so AoS is basically League of Legends like from the lore?nolike i know it just a buzzword people throw around as negative connotation but LoL lore has nothing to do correlation or similarity with Warhammer it like saying 40k is star wars like
>>92565516Look at those prices! Holy fuck who in their right minds would pay $70 for a bitch on a unicorn? You can get similar moels anywhere for a fraction of the price. If you buy this shit you are the problem.
Man. Someone must've kicked the grog's nest. He's going down the script post by post.
whats caused all the old world trannies to go into meltdown?Is it because the generally positive outlook on the rules we've been shown so far? 4th is looking breeetty goood.
>>92565788I have no fucking clue what you’re even talking about, and somehow I don’t think you do either
>>92565813so why are you posting art made by guy whose been there 40 years?
>>92565829>Holy fuck who in their right minds would pay $70 for a bitch on a unicorn?More people than would buy fat Marauders it seems.
>>92565788This is probably a baitpost but I don't get it, runeterra doesnt seem anything like the mortal realms in any way I can see?
>>92565829It's especially insulting since it's not even a particularly original concept.>>92565836The secondaries remembered that warhammer existed after someone mentioned the unicorn bitch was for sale.
>>92565813>FYREslayers with FIREY hair and FIREY axes from the realm of FIRE where they use the FLAMES in their furnaces vs BLOOD warriors of the BLOOD god with BLOOD red armor who worship through spilling BLOODit's all too much
>>92565848That assumes that they produced identical amounts of both kits, which isn't a good one to make considering one is made of resin and for a side game, whereas the other is injection molded and for a mainline game. I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't even a tenth of the unicorn bitch made compared to the darkoath box.
>>92565856>but now GW doesnt let AoS artists draw anything that doesnt have a modelLMAO you're so fucking stupid it's incredible. Please, keep digging.
>>92565856That's not a new thing, that rule's been in place since before AoS was a thing. They implemented that rule after GW lost the chapterhouse lawsuit.
>>92565813Source "I made it the fuck up"samefag doesn't even know jack about metal music, D&D, LotR, and mythology if claiming that AOS isn't referencing/inspire by those prosperities>up on WoW, mobile games and marvel super hero moviesLAMO buzzword all around some shit must have happen to get him riled up today to keep going
>>92565855>the unicorn bitch was for saleArm yourself serf, you shall answer for your blasphemy to our Noble Lady! Prepare to taste my lance steel!
>>92565880>he doesnt knowlel
Please. Stop giving him replies. If he replies to himself, don't take the bait. Literally just talk about something else and let him scream at the air.
>>92565867The Unicorn bitch isn't even a FOMO item, no reason to bulk up the initial production run. It's far less than 1/10 the stock in reality.
>>92565899Hey that actually looks good, I wouldnt mind you TOW discord raiders if you were posting models.
>>92565856
TOW dead already? Lots of spergs shitting up this thread, utterly frothing at the mouth.
>>92565900Only one of us knows anything about AoS art, my retarded internet friend, and it's provably not you.
>>92565185thats a really nice treelord anon. is his base finished or will you be adding more to it?
>>92565892>Source "I made it the fuck up"You can read these things called "White Dwarf" from the time.Sly Marbo is literally Rambo.Bertrand the Brigand is Robin hood.In AoS you have old WHF characters, ripoffs of WHF characters and the only original characters are trash
>>92565911It's painted well yeah, but the cape should have been custom made with greenstuff to contour it better
>>92565907Bingo. And it's (Ex) forge world, meaning that they might not've cracked 5 digits for how many they made.
>>92565912that's a lot of white slaves
>>92565928>Start off reading out litteral rip off>Criticize AOS for having rip off not doing so well are we
>>92565958Not slaves, Fanatics.
>>92565941What's this from?
>>92565527Proof of elven supremacy
>>92565595If they're more muscular than you, you're not a man
>>92565925Thank you. The earth layer is finished, but the overall plan is to add grass and some red leaves that roughly match the foliage of the army overall. Ogre friend said he had some unused flower decorations that I might make use of as well, as long as it doesn't look to overpowering.
>>92566094>If they're more muscular than youI am not witch elf from WHFB shown here: >>92565527>you're not a manAnd you are not a woman
>>92566109that sounds good anon, good luckpersonally i'd recommend going all out, may as well on your centrepiece
>>92566110>And you are not a womanDuh. There's not a single woman who's as muscular as me unless she's running massive quantities of test and GH
>>92565782My friend lets a homeless cat live in his apartment sometimes, so loose hair is the price of that.>>92566138Thanks, and you make a good point, I might point some flowers on the Treelord's base in particular.
>>92565562would barbarians/darkoath be canonically fat/bulky, shredded, or malnourished and sickly?>>92565863why are there seemingly legions and legions and endless legions of these obese 30 somethings with no hair, square glasses, and onions beards?
>>92566251Depends on where they're from and what they do in their lives when they're not picking up an axe to kill local sigmarites, I guess. A dedicated warrior or hunter might be ripped, but my busty wife who sits around picking apples from the bountiful ghyranite grove we live in might be packing on the pounds
>>92566251>bulkythis is what real barbarians on a hunting gathering diet were likethey weren't shredded like arnie in conan, but they skinny either. most had better bone health and height than their agricultural counterparts. just imagine a normal strong man without a bodybuilding routine.
>>92565024This is what my army looks like.
Just picked up a GSG vanguard box. Still painting my IDK Start Collecting box that I bought 4 years ago because I fell out of the hobby.What's changed since then?
>>92565516Its so weird to release a box like this so close to the 4th edition.
>>92566832technically 4th ed is still probably 3 or so months away, but yeah its still kinda weird, though that being said its not a full tome its just a supplement (like how world eaters just got a supplement because they were right before 10th edition)
>>92565343I find variated skin tones work better when mixed throughout a unit. If you want some way to differentiate units, tattoo colours are a great option for you cause you've already got some present on all your guys in one colour. Or as the other anon suggested, a little colored stripe on their gut plates
>>92566747a better question is whats changing soon. new edition rolls out in like a month and they are completely rewriting the entire game from the ground up, so everyone else will be relearning all the rules at the same time. they have also stated that the initial indexes and core rules will be free PDFs, so i wouldnt go buying any battletomes right now. as far as whats changed over the last edition-added battle tactics and grand strategies, basically faction specific secondary scoring objectives. -a lot of armies got 2nd waves or refreshes like slaves to darkness, hedonites of slaanesh, seraphon, sylvaneth, and most armies got at least a couple new kits or heroes. -destruction got a new faction wide god unit called kragnos that can slot into any army in the same style as nagash does for death. - beasts of chaos and bonesplitterz have been squatted. cities of sigmar got redesigned as the dawnbringer crusade and lost about half its elves and all of its old human models, and stormcast just lost half its range. -balance has overall been much better than 2nd edition, the new rules team is a lot tighter than the old one, no more sin/bin tome meta-they started doing seasonal rules, which are 6 month-1 year generals handbook patches that add new gameplay mechanics, missions, spells, etc. kind of cool but also kind of busted and the fast rotation was giving some people rules whiplash-stormcast and skaven are getting big range refreshes in like a month-gloomspite got a new tome in 3rd edition that was finally, after 5 years of dogshit, really good and have been stomping most of 3rd edition. particularly squigs and troggs. -deepkin have seen a bigger variety of list builds than just "oops all eels", including namarti lists that are actually good and the "oops all sharks" build, though i think that was reigned in, and like i said the entire games being rewritten in a month so thats all subject to change
>>92566901Thanks fren
>>92566901on the topic of 4th edition, the only actually lame thing so far is weapon profiles are looking to be alot lesser, especially with core units.Stuff like magic and the actual fighting seems to be faring alot better than 40k 10th edition so fari was kinda doom and gloom about the weapons but the stuff thats come out after the weapon stuff is pretty good looking so far, especially magic and prayers (which i agree should be the other way around, but neither are bad at all they both seem fun)
>>92565516Shockingly they made less product for the more ded game. Also>$70 single character>$240 bundleI'm not sure why you're shocked that the cheaper item sold out first
>>92566876True, but it also doesnt help that Skaven will be in the starter Box, yes-yes.
I wonder if the games lethality will drop in 4th
>>92566747If you want to build a gitz army they're v strong right nowthe boingrots you can build in that box are some of the best cav in the game, the loonboos doesn't do much, the troggs are really strong and tanky brawler units, the stabbas are a good screen unit that can contest obj from 9 inches while they hav 20 or more models. ALWAYS build the 3 netter stabbasin the next edition weapon options are supposedly going away so you can prob just build the stabbas with pokin spears or the spiked clubs. that being said, all the units in the box are great and fun to paint. the loonboos kinda sucks but he keeps getting his points cut and his moonman sculpt is really cool. You can lean heavy into trogs, squigs, spiders (lol dont do this), or wizards with their subfaction rules. jaws of mork (squigs) are the clear kings but Kings gitz and glogg's megamob are good too oh yeah and if you do end up rocking with gitz, look for their old squigalanche box and gobbapalooza
>>92566924the $240 bundle also comes with a battletome thats going to be out of date in a month, which im sure isnt helping sell that kit
>>92566932If that means that the majority of games aren't going to end with a single miniature on each side chasing each other around a 6x4 then im pretty stoked. It'd be cool if the game continued to look like a large scale battle past the second turn instead of turning into follow the hero after t1
>>92565024Is it over for Hedonites players?>command points change definitely BTFOing Pretenders subfaction (best Hedonites subfaction)>can charge during opponent's turn (hedonites first turn strategy destroyed)>combat phase changes and objective control further privilege units that resist damage, instead of units that alpha strike4th edition bros... is it fucking over? is our decadent reign finally at an... end?
Why can I buy ironguts for a 20% discount when they're online only?
>>92566990I've seen them in boxes on store shelves.
>>92566990You can't, biggest discount I've seen for order in is like 5%
>>92566747It's very matched play tournament centric now>warscroll battalions removed because they're too thematic >subfactions detached from fluff and made abstract because they're too thematic>command trait/artefact/spell lists prunned because they're too thematic "why print an option that isn't meta? I'll never pick that" >list building flexible reduced with only having 2-4 units you can increase in size, now it's any number but just increased once from MSU - no max size discounts>Seasonal meta shifts with new significant ghb rules: you can't play battleline for the next six months because non-battleline get +1 damage against them! Wizards are op for a season! It's so fun like my jank purchase driven tcgs
>>92567278In all fairness, even in a fluffier themed list there was little reason to EVER take some spells/traits/artifacts since there were ones that were just blatantly better than them and even the most casual of players could tell.
>>92567289I feel like the answer to that is just not printing things so dogshit not a single person will take them over the course of the edition, most of the stuff like that isn’t even fluffy.If we lose fun shit like the Idolator trait or the Lethis subfaction’s gimmick I’d be incredibly dissapointed, wilder stuff like that is great.
I'm done bitching about my goats and I've moved on to finish and expand my Kruleboyz from dominion. Anything to avoid? I've heard the big ballistae are junk.
>>92565164I don't even own a table, i have a desk and a nightstand.
>>92567391>I'm done bitching about my goats and im going to continue giving GW money even though they screwed mepay up piggie
>>92565562>>92565527crazy how they nailed it with the first round of darkoath sculpts ( and the previous male and female hero).then they made the basic infantry and they're fucking disgusting. the cavalry, and cavalry hero are nice though.
>>92567431I'm buying second hand exclusively, I'm done giving the cunts any more money.
>>92565589Does anyone have this episode to share?
>>92566985good. slaanesh player are cringe.
>>92567436I know rules are about to change with the new edition but what role are these guys even supposed to play with the new marauders? They're like the elite version of the horde units that aren't legionnaires and aren't just normal chaos warriors, what niche could they possibly have that doesn't either suck or overshadow their chubbier cousins
>>92567289Yeah, you have to take what helps you win. There's no wriggle room in this narrative dice game for fun, just waac
>>92567552It's not that, It's just that some of those "Fun, fluffy" options were just so situational that there was a good chance picking them was the equivalent of taking nothing in most games, or just a straight downgrade to something else. You don't always need to take the best of the best, but sometimes the worst of the worst is so bad that even super casual players can tell (or quickly learn) "This sucks". Its like how if you wanted to, you could've technically run a unit of 6 liberators or whatever, but you never fucking would, even if the fluff for your army was that they were made up of the surviving members of other battered or destroyed groups, since 6 costs the same as 10.
>>92567436>nailed it with the first round of darkoath sculptsThe faces on some of them were laughed at when they were released, remember?
>>92567590Every new sculpt is the worst one ever until the next one.
>>92567436These are okay but they really need random pieces of armour to connect them to chaos warriors and spiky hair like picrel
>>92567391Then you're already further ahead than the whfb crowd. Funny though that they're also proud about giving GW more money for TOW.Like this >>92567431 twat complaining about GW and buying their products in a GW thread.Are people still mad that you can't buy VHS anymore? And laserdisc? And minidisc? Or any other obsolete standard?Stuff goes end of life or out of support, why is there so much drama?
>>92566938It has a pamphlet with the new units rules in it, it’s not a hardcover battletome.
>>92565527left isn't WHFB art, that's a comic for a video game.
>>92565516Google plastic injection moulding output per minute and then resin cure time
>>92567278>>warscroll battalions removed because they're too thematicI feel like only somebody that never played in 1st and 2nd edition could make this claim.
>>92567793Lords of the Lodge was so thematic and fun.
Do people even stream tournaments?
>>92566401If you look at modern tribes of hunter gatherers, by our standrads they usually look skinny
>>92567793Yeah, they're gone because it was unbalanced and list building was hampered by having to fit in the meta battalion. You literally had to buy stuff you might not even want to just to win and then not every army had battalions as strong. Awful
>>92567278I thought it was reaction to a triple Great Unclean One battalion briefly raping the game resulting in GW deciding to balance them in a radical way
>>92567866It's more about abstraction; gw doesn't have to write up lore for the background organisation of a battalion or invent an interesting ability to go with it. Core Battalions only unlock the limited set of advantages so they have to do a lot less work and they're technically more balanced
They gotta announce it today, right? I mean it takes one week to get it up for preorder and another two weeks on top of that to launch. So if they announce it today it won't launch until 11/5. If they hold off a week we'll already be in late May when this goes up on shelves.
>>92567919I do like how the nexus shows that they're clearly interested in continuing the creation of faction terrain, since StD didn't have one before
finished off this squig herd today in a batch. got some grots that are just about done too, just gotta varnish
>>92567881>gw doesn't have to write up lore for the background organisation of a battalionThat's like 3 minutes of work they do anyway for all the side fluff in battltomes, i doubt that's a factor
>>92565096It's really just space Terra, isn't it?
>>92567983terra is already space terra
>>92567983Terra is a dump with some important stuff on it, Azyr is relatively nice.
>>92567983You can see wildlife still around. I doubt random birds still fly aound in the grim derpness of 40kek
>>92567955Underestimating how lazy GW are, how profit margin driven they are to reduce the number of pages per book each year
>>92568027Is page per book an actual cost factor with exisitng margins?
>>92567983It's more like the sol system, considering it has other celestial bodies orbiting in it. Mallus and the sigmarabulum are mars
>>92568034They reused a ton of art on the 3E Gloomspite tome, which was disappointing. Is it normal to reuse art between tomes?
>>92568041in aos, yes, when editions lasted longer was one expected to have more or less a 50/50 or 70/30 mix of new and old art
>>92568041>Is it normal to reuse art between tomes?Would be wastful not to, and stuff depicted ususally didn't change
>>92568034I have to assume it is considering how depressingly bare-bones 40k codexes have gotten.
>>92568034percentages of a penny add up when the shareholders want bigger profits each year and the comparative margins on paint and minis are much higher
>>92567919There's not even a covid excuse for how fucked the release of these has been, unlike broken realms
>>92567881You realise that Battletomes still have Warscroll Battalions in it even today, even if they are not legal in matched play?
>>92568066They seams to come out in regular intervals. BR used to have half a year of break then reales 2 books within 2 weeks of eachother
>>92568057no writer puts effort into a book when he knows it will be rendered obsolete in roughly one year
>>92568066the excuse now is that they're printed in china like everything with cardboard stuff and perhaps some scenery stillI wonder if that's the reason why they stopped putting boards into warcry and kill team boxsets
>>92568109>I wonder if that's the reason why they stopped putting boards into warcry and kill team boxsetsThey still out punchout tokens made of the same cardboard, they reduced content because they're greedy.
>>92568090They don't have to put effort into it, they can just copy-paste the past lore sections, but they're even struggling to do that from what I've seen.
>>92568124I just wish they sold booklets that collected all the artworks and concept sketches of a faction
>>92568034Like, yeah, in a sense. Every printed page represents an investment of time, labor, and materials. I wouldn't know how precisely they've calculated the monetary cost per page, but I'm sure they have pretty exact figures on how X volumes of material translates into Y number of printed pages. I also don't doubt they have figures for how many pages they can print per workhour, because it would be weird if they didn't know that. And they likely also know how much it adds to their electrical bill to run their printery for a set period of time. And after all the printing is done and they get to transportation they've gotta know how much stock can be move every step of the way, and to know that they've gotta know how much their books weigh individually and in bulk. There's a number for every single conceivable thing here.
>>92568079A few, with their abilities rewritten and lumped together in the vein of the core battalions which isn't the same thing at all. Your point being?
>>92568177That if the reason to remove Warscroll Battalions was that Core Battalions require less effort to write then why the fuck are they still writing both Core Battalions and Warscroll Battalions?Why not simply doing one or the other? Why invalidating old Warscroll battalions would be a requisite to simply start doing the new ones like they are doing without creating a new category to waste more page space?Friendly reminder also that a shitload of warscroll battalions weren't better than the warscroll battalions they are doing now (see pic related)>We want to spend less effort so instead of wasting 4 pages for warscroll battalions we are reducing them to 2>But we are also adding core battalions so we are back to 4 pages
>>92568213Because instead of being like this
>>92568218They're lazily padding out the ptg section like this
>>92568174They need to produce more artm they barely make any
>>92568221You really can't see how that proves my point? Anon the two pages aren't really different from a effort standpoint. You don't need more pages to do one than to do another, even nore because in the latter example you also have the core battalion page to had that didn't exist in the former
I had 2 quick path to glory games against a lumineth with my ghyranite fyreslayers. I won both. Fyreslayers heroes are murdermachines in low points games, and the grimhold deleting half of avalenor healthbar saved my ass in the second one.
>have dream where I'm building a mangler squig and an ogor vanguard>suddenly want to buy mangler squig
>>92568246Both of those armies look gorgeous.
>>92568303Thank you very much ! I'm not a good painter (i just do base+wash and that's all) but i wanted something unique. I'm converting my fyreslayers with sylvaneths weapons and iconography. Next step is giving a kurnoth shoulderpad+a cloak to the hearthguard berserkers to make them distinct from the vulkites
>>92568319Those look great, there's a cool roman gladiator type thing going on with the sword&board fyreslayers

>>92568034It all adds up. If one page costs a dollar in materials, labour etc, one page for a few million books is a few million dollars saved.Its the same with mtg packs. They released a new bullshit booster pack style recently and it has one less card in it IIRC.
>>92568404there simply isn't that much art for women Chaos Marauders even in WFRP stuff so you take what you can get
>>92568452>When you like to eat pussy but it's that time of the month
>>92565499>>92565516>>92565527>>92565562how does this keep happening?
>>92567548They are better at holding objectives
>>92567436>crazy how they nailed it with the first round of darkoath sculptsThese ones are shit as well
>>92568246> ptg > brought special charactersCringe as fuckNice armies though
Thunderstrike stormcast are so easy to headswap, it's insane. They look great with old empire heads, the feather cap goes really well with their vibe
>>92568319> every army fully painted and basedWhere ARE you???Nice conversions on the HGB
>>92568503>>92568528>>92568538>>92568546Is this all the same very dumb guy, or what?
>>92567548Could change in 4E but their path gets them a 5+ ward if they can steal an objective that your opponent is controlling. They can also potentially get extra command points from any god speakers in the unit, so a reinforced unit has better odds of banking a bonus point for all out defense to hold the line. Once they’re dug in they’re pretty hard to dislodge. I would say though they could either use either -1 rend or a slightly better base to hit/to wound. They’re incredibly pillow fisted and they’ve got the problem the Marauders have where fulfilling their oath takes them from meh to good instead of from good to great
>>92568555I'm in Paris, France. We had a 70 persons tournament this week end and i'm part of a PTG league with like 15 people (with updated map of our territories + mandatory lore of each army and battle).It's basically an unwritten rule to go into tournaments with fully painted army, even when there is no paint points. However the best painted army usually have a prize similar to the best player, so people are motivated to paint their armies.Pic related is my first opponent, he had a troll army with converted trugg and troggoths
Is there any artwork of Kharadrons fighting Bonesplitterz?
>>92568625I don't recal. A bunch of Gitz fighting though
>>92568546What's the problem ? Unique characters aren't even forbidden in PTG. We also do some houserule, for example the underworld banshee girl, once she reached 35 renown, could transform into olynder. It motivated our local nighthaunt a lot.Thank you for the compliment by the way ! <3
>>92567919BACK to BACK StD releases? In THIS economy?
>>92568586The marauders seem decent because they’re 80 points for 10 bodies in an army that is unlikely to have that anywhere else going into 4th.
>>92568625no
>>92568765Current fentenyl crisis is actually a boon for the spread of HiV
>>92568765I suppose they could release this instead. Or they could be boring and announce a 40k codex or something.
>>92568823>Or they could be boring and announce a 40k codex or something.Tau full release still hasn't happened yet, so that's one option.
Don't reply to the baitposts, just let the secondary tire themselves out

So how long until the new Warcry teams get AOS Warscrolls?
>>92568623My respect for (Parisean) French just went up (its now at one).Good for you anon. Nice work even little touchs go a long way.
>>92569197No idea. I'd hope it's as early as tomorrow since the box is officially out now and any further delay is just GW dragging its feet.
>>92569219The wait continues...
>>92569143How so ? My dwarves have normal skin color, gold metal, pink hair (instead of orange) and colored weapons instead of axes. How is that clownish ?
>>92569219Technically the box isn't officially out for another two weeks. If GW waits that long to release the warscrolls it wouldn't be the first time.
>>92569382>bright pink bright blue bright green bright magentaits clown vomit
>>92569382Anon, these "people" know nothing of fun or self-expression
>>92569442Please post your fully painted army so we may compare them anon.You DO have a fully painted army right?
>>92569452>imagine being this mind-broken
>>92569425I don't know where you live but in the UK Pyre & Flood is no longer available to preorder because it launched yesterday.
>>92569425The warscrolls are on the APP since several days
>>92568246Damn lumineth player is a hell of a good painter, that black/white/red/gold scheme is sick too
>>92568623wish that was an unspoken norm at my store, mostly I'm lucky if my opponent has taken more than one unit beyond primer (that's across game systems though TBF)
>>92569538Oh hmm, really wasn't expecting Pyregheist to be a crappy shooting unit.
>>92569538Wow thanks, didn't figure it qould be there.>Riverblades have leapfrog and teleportation shenanigansHonestly it kinda looks like that suck.
>>92569670They do seem surprisingly crappy for a temple unit, yeah. >1 W, 5+ savesquishy as fuck>2 Attacks at 10" 3+/4+ no rend 1Dand 2 melee attacks 3+/4+-1 1d>Meh damage and No Sunmetal or any kind of conditional damage buff>Can basically teleport at will if out of combat and has an in-combat 2d6 fly/move trick that still has to end with them in combat>130 points for 10Basically they're weaker and cheaper than any other LRL infantry unit, which is weird for a temple unit, and the only reason to play them at all is to try and teleport cap a distant objective
>>92569732To be fair though, when the full River Temple units and subfaction is released they probably will get significant synergy buffs that they are currently lacking.
>>92569741>Thinking the warband will last that long
>>92565024>TQ:>What Realm has the most interesting lore?azyr and ulgu have no lorechamon only has aos1.0 lorehysh only exists as backdrop for one factionwe're left with aqshy, ghyran, shyish and ghur, but the last one is a nothingburger while aqshy only has the MOST lore, not the best lorefinal tossup so is between ghyran and shyish and despite nagash being really cool, ghyran simply has lore at all levels: early fluff, middle fluff, late fluff, numerous cities, numerous factions, interesting dynamics between factions (sylvaneth in particular), a number of characters have been established as coming from here or doing shit here, and now the best of the two biggest dawnbringer crusades and it seems like it's only getting better now with kragnos's final showdown, the placement of new summercourt and the death of phoenicium
>>92569793I think ghyran's fluff could be a lot deeper, feel like I know way more about the history and makeup of a place like the parch. I feel that way because I'm interested to know more though, so that makes you right
Are these guys worth taking in a Gloomspite army? I'm absolutely new to AoS but I like how the little gobbos look and I've finished (almost) all my 40k. I also may have told a friend at the FLGS that if I do play AoS, it'll be the goblins.
>>92569793Ghur could have been made a lot more interesting, ie having gotten a significant amount of new lore, if the campaign started by Seasons of War: Thondia had been continued, which would also have gotten us new incarnates ala the Krondspine oneLikewise, Beastmen would also have been significantly involved and could have gotten actual relevance
>>92569880yeah they're a pretty common pick. worth getting if you got the cash
>>92569732they cost the same as 5 vanguard hunters but with mobility and like twice the damage.Being in lumineth also mean they can use aetherquartz to buff themselves AND strike alongside your main unit.They are super good, they will turbowreck your usual flanking unit
>>92569904I don't know if season of war is just a cursed label or what, wish we'd ever get more than one in a series. Firestorm should definitely have come with some minis or something but it was an interesting idea, and I would have loved a sequel to Thondia
>>92569880I wouldn't buy any underworlds warband right now, a persistent rumor says they are all getting squatted in 4th.I'd wait till then, unless you just really like the models I guess.
Would any of you dear and kind souls please provide a pdf of the Gloomspite Gitz battletome? I know it's effectively outdated, but I'd like to know what I'm getting into. Can I have an army of just Squig riders?
>>92569904>Ghur could have been made a lot more interesting, ie having gotten a significant amount of new lore, if the campaign started by Seasons of War: Thondia had been continuedtrue but i also have to bring up Soulbound: Ear of the beast which added more lore to the landmarks of Thodina but also the other continentsRondhol>The river & hill lands filled with Orks who caved all the mountains in effigies of Mork/GorkLendu>The hyborian-esq plains fill with ruins of ancient non-humanoid races before the coming of man/elf/dwarfsBjarl >FenrisGallet>the incetoid infested lands where civilization are often all build underground in the collosal and myriad tunnels dug by ancient worms to avoid the violent wind storm on the surface levelAndtor>A more inuit coded frozen archipelagoThodia>Northern parts the prehistoric arid plains while the southern and eastern parts the thick Jurassic junglesit not much but it a nice founding blocks to do more
>>92569998unless the cost is a problem basically any warband can serve easily as alt sculpt heroes/troops and dont need to be run only as "what they are"
>>92569842>I think ghyran's fluff could be a lot deeperthat's without questionghyran asks for some metaphysical insight on the origin of souls in much the same way shyish delved in their fate, and related to that it begs for a development or piece of history about idoneth searching for a solution to their flaw in there, one of their main subfactions is settled in ghyran tooit also inevitably requires a similar level of interaction and rivalry with the factions of death as it already does with the forces of nurgle and the age old conflict between natural order and artificial order, and on a similar note the canonical dichotomy between symbiosis/competition of ghyran and ghur has been woefully unexplored despite the current edition being the era of the beast AND having been kickstarted by alarielle's rite of life in the first placeghyran asks for more insights on it being one of the most important source of food and water for the colonisation of the other generally less inhospitable realmsghyran is a breadbasket of possibilities and should be as important to aos cosmology as hysh/ulgu are for the day and night, azyr for the stars, and shyish for the afterlife, hell, given the mythological inspirations of the realms ghyran pretty much demands to be used as yggdrasil and have a role in maintaining the correct cycling of the seasons/interactions of the spheres in the voidghyran is the worst realm in a memetic sense, but it's also a good realm for anyone who wants to read anything about aos and is the absolute richest wellspring of possibilities and you have no idea of my frustration with how GW has seemingly lost the momentum for the exploration of the realms that it had at the start of the 2nd edition

>>92570006you mean the squigalanche?
>>92569923most things compare favorably to stormcast shit.
>>92569143Sir, "clown vomit" is my trademarked term for disparaging mixed Chaos Daemon armies; get your own.

>>92569998>>92570012worst case scenario he gets a particularly cool loonboss model and a squig boss model out of it, and some bonus squad leader replacements for his stabbas or shootas. i say go for it, especially since its likely to be discontinued soon and those are some of the best GSG models

>>92570021>>92570027Blessed be thee>>92570051Squigalanche? I'm intrigued
>>92570133They will get new rules in 2 months anyway
>1 year of painting>still not figured out what I enjoy painting>only thing I was good at painting so far was Nurgle related things because lmao enamel oils and technical paints
>>92570095vanguard hunters are often taken as allies because they make surround and destroy easy. These guys do the same but with twice the damage output and better mobility, and lumineth ability to make 2 units strikes make these sorts of glasscanon units even better
>>92570191Sounds like you had fun painting Nurgle, then?
>>92570193They are taken very very occasionally by armies that aren't stormcast, that can't take tree-revenants. They question is does Lumineth want these, and they're primarily competing with dawnriders and windchargers. I'm not sure they even beat out hunters at 30 extra points.
>>92565899ASOIAF sculpt?
GW PLEASE release this realmshaper by itself. Nobody needs another set of gnarloaks and garbage scaterr.
I have a box of Kharadron Overlords that has been sat here for ages, time to build it I guess, are they very different in 3rd?
>>92570338>very different in 3rd?they are something like this

Would you like to see an army of Kabuki Ogors on the table? I painted a few of these up as a one off Warcry warband, they're all still WIP. The snotlings are painted as different oni colors. I'm growing a proper Ogor force as my second army and am considering doing the entire army like this, but it's so much work, the white is a pain. Thoughts? I feel like it would be very cool though.
>>92570776Seems fun
>>92570685those Tau Dice are a bit wierd
>>92570739The best stylistic/schematic depiction and interpretation of the Mortal Realms I have seen thus farThis fucks!

>>92570935Kabuki colors are pretty garish so that's the reason for the green. Mould line.... Guess I was just lazy that day
>>92570878Definitely will wish you the best of luck with that!Am sure it will turn out great with good work
Anyone else musing over starting a new army for 4th, and if so, what? I kinda want to pick up Mawtribes, and do a little bit of kitbashing to make them into chaos ogres.
>>92570819Yeah, same. The only thing that gives me a small pause is the real possibility of the new shit being out of stock for five months if I don't pre-order, but...that's fine, in this case.
>>92571021Get them if want just reminder the Ogre Mawtribe is possibly the last faction that need to be updated so their most likely be getting one this edition
>>92570685>Chart the continuing history of Warhammer Age of Sigmar in War for the Mortal Realms – a new omnibus collecting companion novels from each edition of the game with new interstitial sections bridging the gaps between major events in the Age of Sigmar. It’s a perfect way to get caught up with the affairs of the Mortal Realms before the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar lands later this year, with exciting stories by Chris Wraight, Josh Reynolds, and Darius Hinks.What are the events happening in this edition?In 2ed we had a lot of shit going on before the broken realms books, now 3ed had the crusades and Ushoran breaking out of his quarantine zone.Comparing both editions 3ed is pathetic in the lore department
>>92571021Not especially, but that's just because my army backlog is getting a little out of hand. Though I did just lose BoC and Bonesplitters when they were both almost done...I'd say the only new projects I'm musing over right now are DoK (I have a little stuff, not enough for an army) and figuring out what I want to do with Warclans, especially now that Ironjawz and KB are probably going to separate tomes.
>>92569880Yeah, they allow a unit to fight on death and with squishy grots it's quite powerful. That said, they're legends or unsupported in 4th edition which comes out in May but given they have proxies it's not a bad deal anyway >Loonboss >3 Stabba champions >2 Shoota champions or 1 shaman and a champion >Boingrot champion or Loonboss on giant cave squigI'd definitely pick them up if you like them on that basis but they're also supported in Warcry which lacks a cancerous competitive play community that'd outlaw them if they ever were unsupported in that later
>>92570133Melee + mw on objectives, an extra ranged attack but los requirement Welcome to Nighthaunt, mate, bloat and duplication are the default
>>92571021kind of interested in std because I want to run heavy infantry spam.
>>92570411Do you need the ego boost of showing your thousand layered capes on X (formerly twitter)?Do you plan on going to a Golden Demon?Then why the fuck do you feel anxiety about using cheap tricks to save you time and effort?
>>92570411I never understood this kind of mindset. The outcome is solely what matters; you literally can not "cheat" painting — without going to ridiculous extremes like having someone else do it.
>>92570411Compared to what? Painting miniatures is all technique and no skill
>>92571021My goal is to have one army from each faction. I have Sylvaneth and Blades of khorne. My intent is nighthaunt and sons of behemat for the other two
>>92570191I've been painting off an on for 20 years and I just finished my first model
Why the fuck did they release Dark Oath so late, I would have enjoyed them but I already went all in on CoS
>>92572281GW release orders are just a mystery.
I managed to order a box of Iron Golems as well as Corvus Cabal. Should i sell them on ebay for profit or keep them?
>>92572625sell them it like there a high possibility that in like 5 year or three they just come back as made to order
>>92570739>>92570878autism continues, perfection eludes me but I'm settling on one model for the movement of the realms>all realms have their respective surface facing upwards, so all the realms have the same stars above them, but only the lower realms can see the others above them >all realmdiscs also rotate on their central axis>every realm, except hysh and ulgu, have their respective level of the the aetheric void where they have their circular orbit around the center of the void (where there's the allpoints/eight points)>the orbit of hysh and ulgu are perpendicular to the other realms, this means that as hysh progresses upwards and then downwards, every other realm sees hysh rise from their realm's edge and fall down the other due to the rotation of the disc>for added complexity (not shown in the first scheme), the orbits hysh and ulgu also intertwinethe order and level of the realms follows the wheel of magic (with hysh and ulgu being exceptional)there's more complexity possible like the realms altering slightly the facing of their realmdisc, or the speed of their revolution around the voidcenter, or the idea of hysh and ulgu having erratic enough movements that sometimes they distance themselves from the center enough to cross the orbit of the other realms or moving together in such away off the axis altogether (creating the various configurations of the wheels of magic seen in the old world and in aos)distances not to scale of course
>>92572738>its been 9 years and people still let AOS live rent free in their head
>>92571021It's not really because of 4th, but I've pre ordered 2 Darkoath boxes.Gonna run at least 70% darkoath, plus 1 or 2 elite units like chosen or varanguard and maybe one big monster.
>>92572738Yeah because Warhammer totally explored the streets of averheim and such? Warhammer Fantasy RP is 99% of Warhammer's world building
>>92571021I'm starting Kharadron Overlords.Today I built a Start Collecting box that I had lying around.
>>92572896Not to rain on your parade, but >How Time Works in the Mortal Realms>Almost everywhere you go in the Mortal Realms, time is a constant, from the shores of glittering mercury lakes in Chamon, the Realm of Metal, to the verdant forests and teeming swamps of Ghyran, the Realm of Life. >Step through a realmgate in either as the dawn rises on the horizon, and you could end up in the choking smog of Aqshy at the same hourThe orbits can't be on different levels then.
>>92573118god damn it
I tried out AoS for the first time with Tzeentch, ran the subfaction that lets you summon lords of change. What is the gameplan supposed to be against Bonereapers? Opponent didn't bring the anti magic subfaction but I feel like I had nothing to outdamage them. I summoned a lord of change but I couldn't deal more damage to Arkhan or their infantry blobs than they could heal.
It's not a huge thing but another aspect of the whole BoC situation is that the old Hammerhal Herald stuff is slightly devalued. I mean this only had a comedic value, however much that was, and now it has a bit less of it.
>>92573331beastmen didn't stop existing, they're just irrelevant shit like silent people, rootkings, shadow demons and gholemkin
>>92573373Yeah but now when I see old beastmemes I'm just gonna think "Oh, right. That sucks."
>>92573373I want shadow demons, hell I want more of Ulgu in general.
>>92573435We'll never get any real elaboration of Ulgu until Malerion releases, just like Hysh was almost completely unexplored until we got Lumineth. Saves GW having to retcon too much shit down the road.
>>92573331Realmgate Wars books, both fluff and campaign, and very BoC centric too

>>92573601>>92573558Hey, retard, can you tell me which of those two armies is a legacy army in TOW?
>>92573601Nigger, BOC has a completely different faction identity compared to ogres in fantasy battle, you cant try and argue they are 1:1.
>>92573628>legacynone. not anymore at least.The scope of the project has grown
>>92573666why do so many 4chan users do this thing where they read a vague statement, assume what it means, and then insist that their guess is supported by the initial vague statement>John has a dog now>What makes you say that?>John said that he has a pet now>Can you prove that John has a dog?>John said that he has a pet, and a dog is a pet, so he has a dog
>>92573118Could is doing a lot of work there, "time is a constant" is probably countering the weird not-really lore that the first gotrek book used with time literally moving at different speeds in different realms, that was dumb and isn't the case anymore.Different realms have slightly different lengths of days, so it can't be possible that they're constantly synced.
>>92573698right after this they squatted BoC and the old Ard Boy models from AoS so its pretty obvious CoS empire is going to TOW and its only a matter of time before Dark Elves, Dwarves, Ogres etc go to TOW and AoS gets all new stuff.This is a good thing. Do you want to keep these old armies or get Malerion, new ogres, and unique AoS armies like KO and OBR
>>92573666Yeah, also Cathay and kislev are releasing next month.
>>92573719"because models for a core faction of TOW are being sold for TOW, this means legacy factions will also be sold for TOW and they will turn around and suddenly do this NOW, not years down the line, having turned their strategy on a dime"
>>92573719You're contradicting yourself. You said earlier that Ogres are "getting squatted", and now you're saying that they'll get new AoS models.
>>92573767it will be a different army, by new ogres i mean a low model count elite army will replace them
>>92573781You mean like how Skaven are getting replaced by a different army? Oh, wait...
>>92573791>he doubts the evilness of GWthey will be gone in AoS 5.0
>>92573815People like you are fucking exhausting to converse with
>>92573791You are aware that BoC got endless spells, an Underworlds warband and were in an Underworlds starter set, and has a stormcast helmet and KO weapons on the Herdstone right?Did that save them?
>>92573828Are you seriously fucking comparing the scraps BoC got to the upcoming Skaven update?
>>92573851Yes because if GW can screw you and make you buy a new army, they will do it.
>>92573828>pity hero, sidegame shit and made in china models
>>92573864>the cope is realall your armies are going to be squatted, and youll still buy a new one.
>>92573894>posts non-legacy army
>>92573894>all your armies are going to be squattedLike Skaven?
>>92573864The TOW tourist is a dipshit trying to bait because his game sucks, but it's hard to pretend that wasn't fucking ridiculous to have a faction with actual support suddenly get rug pulled after getting that shit
How am i supposed to get my friends into the game when they see shit like this on the website?
>>92574120How should I know, I don't know you or your friends.
Can I get a scan of Dawnbringers 5 please? Thank you :)
>>92574120See what? An awesome bit of art involving a fucking badass warrior angel? If that doesn't make them want to play the game, you need new friends.
>>92574120If your friend is looking to read a bl book, get him to read almost anything written by Reynolds.
>>92574120It's a great piece of art on the cover of what's genuinely one of the best AoS novels that came out in 3rd edition. Noah Van Nguyen is modern aos' Josh Reynolds in that he really gets the setting and writes insanely interesting stories that use it to its fullest, this and Godeater's Son are great.
So what we think will be the next skaven reveal?>Clawlord on giant rat>Rat ogre>Jezzail>Warlock engineer>Ratling cannonade
>>92574411rogor
>>92574411it'll be the lamest possible thing, so the cannon
>>92574411Either rat ogor to pair with the new prosecutors, or the clawlord to pair with the new stormcast hero
>>92574411Cannonade because I'm an optimist like that.
I have some questions about endless spells. Each wizard can attempt to manifest one a turn and dispel one a turn. Does this count towards normal cast / dispel limits? What are the points associated with them used for? Which ones can each wizard attempt to summon? Can an endless spell be attempted by multiple wizards?
>>92574619>Does this count towards normal cast / dispel limits?Yes. >What are the points associated with them used for? You can only cast an endless spell that you've paid points for in your army list.>Which ones can each wizard attempt to summon? See above.>Can an endless spell be attempted by multiple wizards?No, same as any other spells.Note that all of these answers are changing in like 2 months anyway when 4th edition hits and revamps the magic system.
>>92574693If a spell you paid points for gets dispelled can you try to cast it again later or would you have to buy multiple to do that? Trying to get somewhat accustomed to AoS while I'm waiting for 4th.
>>92574717Yes, you can only have one copy of it active on the board at a time but you can recast it as many times as you want if it keeps getting banished.
>>92574260I've just finished celestial spear and read godeaters a couple books before that, and while I enjoyed them well enough for what they were, I have to say dude is nowhere close to Reynolds' writing ability. He does come up with some interesting set dressing which he does a good job fleshing out, but his prose is almost nonsensical stream-of-consciousness at times. He introduces fantasy slang or words but then uses some of them so rarely you have no way of figuring out what they mean. It feels like reading the first chapter of clockwork orange (but not written as well) and just wondering what the fuck is going on.

>>92575364>The Dark Gods want me to sacrifice three newborns to be granted a boon? Preposterous! I'll only sacrifice two at the maximum!>The Dawnbringers are offering to grant us food, community, and protection if we join their civilization? KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL
>>92569054Utterly based. Thanks anon!
Is wounds characteristic of a unit the highest wounds characteristic of a model in that unit or the total of the wounds in that unit? Specifically for purple sun of shyish.
>>92575772its the wounds characteristic number on its data sheet.
Hey GW, could you add some diversity to Mawtribes next? If you know what I mean...
>>92571021Do it. They’re an elite army that’s easy to paint and fairly cheap. Their start collecting beastclaw raiders are likely all bought up but the vanguard is good and it’s worth like 800 points or something crazy. Get that and some other dudes that you like. I would start with some gluttons or iron guts though, just to dip your toes in the water and see if you actually can stand hobbying them before you dive in.But I myself and painting faster than ever and I’m making a list of some GSG characters I stilll need to finish my first army. I’m considering mortal heavy Nurgle but I really want to start Ironjawz. I’m hoping and praying we get a Christmas box with the new pigs, hard boys and wreckers. IJ have no bundles at all left. Hopefully they get a spearhead that’s not more kruleboyz. Other than that Lizardmen are in 3rd place. I’m waiting for the new rules to drop and continuing to work at my backlog before then. >>92574828>like the first chapter of a clockwork orange I remember reading that shit in middle school and not knowing wtf he was talking about but I thought it was funny how him and his cell mates beat up some guy just cause he was a jew. Kek Burgess definitely knew what he was doing
>>92569054>>92565589god bless morathi and witch elves so much
>>92565024Soon
>>92574120I don't see the problem.
>>92571021Waiting for a single LRL Warden to arrive so I can try out a paint scheme and see exactly how flimsy the spear is. I'm like 95% there on LRL.
>>92576034What if I like the ice ogors, they seem to be out of stock all the time
>>92575943
>>92574120sounds like your friends are total fucking losers ?
>Lost BoC>we still have skavenwe won
>>92576369>ice ogors You mean the beast claw raiders? The ogors on the big ice age rhinos and monsters? They’re out of stock probably because they’re worth a lot of points and they’re strong on the tabletop, and have been for several years.The stone horn kit can be built as 4 different monsters, but the really relevant one is the frost lord in stone horn. It’s like 500 points and absolutely fucks shit up. It’s been the strongest, cheapest, and easiest way to get an ogor army ready.Unfortunately a lot of the Beastclaw sub range is old resin crap like the sabertooth tigers and the yhetees and Ice pelt hunter You can try to get a few big monsters to hold you over if you’re gambling on them getting a refresh next year. It would feel p shitty to spend 8 months on your gluttons only for them to get mogged by the new chad gluttons in any possible refresh
>>92576640>freak identifies with inhuman creaturesMany such cases.
>>92576640get well soon
>>92576640I don't care for the trans hate or shit like that, but dude, you have the worst looking nail paint that I have ever seen. It looks like a nurgle disease
>>92577040You think you're directly speaking to the person who painted that with this post? Why are /tg/ users so fucking retarded?
>>92576973 >>92576973>>92576973New
>>92571021currently trying to decide between starting seraphon for AoS or tyranids for 10th. i want to paint an army of colorful creatures. AoS is my preferred game, and the new edition looks great. meanwhile 40k is less fun to play and 10th isnt great but the game is MUCH easier to find games for
>The Army Set comes with 20 Darkoath Marauders with a wide assortment of heads and body typesdoes this mean I can swap out the dykes for male models?
>>92577634>For every 10 marauders, you can build one Champion with a choice of two heads, plus a Doombeater and Icon Bearer. You get the choice of 13 interchangeable shields, 11 hand weapons, 11 spears, and 30 unique heads to use between five male and five female bodies.You can buy two kits to build one with only men if you're that much of a faggot
>>92577988got it, thanks!
>>92568319Great painting. Normally with fyreslayers I can't tell where one unit ends and the next begins. Good job making them distinct.
Anyone got the soulbound Ulfenkarn pdf?
