army shots first, this is a group of 3 bulls with iron fists and a giant.

for empire, it's either the 5th edition flagellants or the 6th edition metal engineer with long rifle resting his leg on a peasant.

a shot from this morning, almost my entire ogre kingdoms army, including some unpainted maneaters, a firebelly and gnoblars on the right.

the painted models already form a very solid 2,5k army for TOW so i'm not in a particular hurry to finish the rest, i will get to them eventually over the summer, i believe. all the painted models have been painted within the past year.

not pictured here are about 3-4 more ironguts and a second cannon i have unassembled in a the closet.

a few reposts of the game shots from last thread, these are from a 1000 points tournament that had a restriction of no "lord-level" characters or wizards higher than level 2. still someone managed to bring a high elf hero on a dragon.

the first game i won with a quite decent margin against vampire counts. killed off his vampire hero general on the left flank with a charge of my giant, the rest basically folded soon thereafter. the only survivor was his necromancer who managed to kill half a unit of ironguts with the unquiet spirits spell. holy hell that spell is aids, 3d6 attacks with no armour saves permitted. very unethical.

a shot of game 2 against empire. my cats ate his mortar on turn 2. he was entirely tabled after turn 3. i didn't lose a single model and got a massacre victory. nicest guy i've played against so far probably, too bad he brought a comfy list instead of a sweaty one, so he didn't have too much success in the games. big infantry blocks don't hold up too well against a mournfang charge. i overrun that block of 30ish halberdsmen with a captain in one turn. warhams is hell.

What's the coolest bloodline and why?
>>
>>92706851
strigoi: interesting history that creates room for characters that have at least 2 dimensions to them, sorta-fresh take on the most bestial transformations of vampires
strigoi are closely followed by blood dragons: they add a level of honourable nuance to what's usually just cartoonishly evil characters and the imagery of the heavy knight is top notch, it's like seeing the lightning of the chaos warrior archetype strike a second time

the lowest of the low are lahmians because modern fantasy cannot channel 80's cheesecake anymore and nobody really understands why they're different compared to the von carstein once that element is lost, not even your image

dunno about that
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strigoi
Not strictly speaking a fresh take. Pretty much all of the bloodlines are 1:1 representations of the most common tropes.
They all are interesting in their ownright though. Lahmia are hard to represent in a wargame. They make perfect villains for RPGs though.

Only correct answer: Blood Dragons.
>>
>>92706955
alright, then, but these aren't easy or seamless solutions
>aesthetics
convert more, beastemen, like orcs and other forces of chaos, work best when they're a grouping of various smaller tribes joining forces for a raid, this should push you to put emphasis on how each group has its little cultural or phenotypical differences such as tribal blood warpaints, equipment taken from a specific location, or being, say, fish mutants instead of goat mutants
>gameplay
they're chaos, you've got the chaos warriors roster to ally with, and potentially also the demons, and while I'm not telling you to just play warriors or demons I'll tell you to use the ally system to insert different unit profiles to your army and convert models to count as those things
>>
>>92706988
>your dudes
this should go hand in hand with the first point, on top of the differences between beatsmen tribes, aspects to explore and emphasize are the turnskins, the gave children, the demon-blooded beastmen from the south pole, and possibly the breath of options offered by the possible relations between beastmen and chaos gods, some fluff goes with them being misbegotten children, byproducts regarded only as tools that could never do anything but follow the will of chaos and that at the same time could never offer the gods something interesting because they lack the ability to truly fall or the passions of human souls, at times they were like any other chaos being, taking on their personal path to glory and gaining gifts and favours, this could potentially give you beastmen who became demon princes even, newer fluff has painted them also as creatures that are so in tune with the most primal aspect and philosophy of chaos that they scorn the gods and their followers for being weak, another road is the skaven one, to give them their own deities and patrons, morghur is one option, years ago I tried my hand at describing a possible deity of beastmen, its aesthetic, themes and narratives, maybe I should search it up in the archives
in any case you shouldn't feel forced to adhere to the "correct" one, or to choose one for yours, your tribes and characters can and should reflet the entire wing of options and that should shape how they look, what's their history, what are their goals, their methods and their enemies

beastmen work best when they're truly chaotic and that of course cannot arise from a prepackaged modular range of kits, you need a personal labour of love
>>
>>92706990
another punctualisation is that all this stuff happens all over the world, not just the empire, bretonnia will have turnskins, tilea will have gaves, araby may have a djin-blooded beastmen from the court of an eccentric sultan
it is true that the influence of chaos is smaller the more you go away from the poles, but maybe due to this reason beastmen were regarded differently in nehekhara (less mutants, less threats, less negative prejudice, higher chances of them being treated like blessed by their own gods) and you may have an ushabti model representing a beastman that was given particular funerary attentions, and while the lands of cathay are now under the seemingly micromanaging royal dragons, I'm sure asian folklore and the fact the dragons were pushed to create bloodlines of hybrids will give you the occasion to explore perhaps a banished tainted draconic mutant child of one of the dragons

There was a tourney without rule of 3 recently, mids gt in the UK. Only one of the top 3 lists ran a dragon (wood elves). 2nd place was super msu dwarves, the only character was an anvil of doom and the rest of the list was min squads of missile infantry + 8 gyrocopters and some bolt throwers. 3rd place beastmen also ran a lot of small squads and a wizard as only character.
>>
>>92707502
I guess? You can convert the chariots, maybe using a burning chariot of tzeentch, or just using Tzaangors for crew. There's the ogroid thaumaturge which is probably the best you have for tzeentch monstrous infantry. Not sure what wings would be appropriate for harpies. Monsters, you have the vortex beast. Distinguishing between all the different gors seems annoying as well. Not sure what you'd do for dragon ogres.

>>92707835
Just a different sort of cancer than usual. Mostly the tournaments seem to encourage spamming monsters and characters on monsters so far, so lists with one character and a ton of msu is a change of pace.
>>
>>92707834
>>92707864
That is a fate of any game that has organized tournaments
If you want best experience you should organize thematic campaigns in local gaming groups / stores
>>
>>92707502
Definitely, just run em as gors and if you've got a lot of 2 handed weapons for some bestigors. A tzaangor on a disc pulled by a screamer for a chariot. Take a tzaangor off a disc and there's your bray shaman. Hell could even go a mutalith as a jabberslyth if you want to keep the whole tzeentch theme.

40k has an actual team dedicated to balance, with the rules in 10th being very clearly designed towards making it easier to balance, and regular rule updates. They still end up with stupid cheese lists constantly and struggle to keep factions in their 45-55% wr benchmark. I would temper your expectations a bit. I'm sure every other edition of fantasy has had stupid cheese strats, and the cheese would be much more refined under the current climate of online netlisting and meta analysis.

I've been a little worried that the things I've bought off ebay were recasts, I don't really know how to tell the difference either as the whole reason I got them was because I didn't have those models. One for example has all the pieces and was only undercoated, for a long time too as it has the classic chipping all over it from being primed but ignored for years.

>>92708130
If some details are not crisp then it's likely a recast.

>My actual reaction when I dropped my tomb King army onto the battlefield for my first ever game with a random and the first thing out of the opponents mouth is "you put your king on a Chariot? Why? It's so inefficient
BECAUSE IT'S COOLER YOU FUCK REEEEEEEEEEEE
>>
>>92708130
my usual checks are flash and mouldlines, if it has flash, say, between the arm and the body where other online examples don't, then I take it for a recast, if it has a double mouldline I automatically assume it's a recast (even though there are arguably cases where an original can have them)
also a lot of recasters don't give a single shit about making the bar for the slottabase get recasted well, because they focus on the model and the thing is not really a thing that has to be flawless by comparison, so if that's weird, or absent then I assume it's a recast
an egregious recast I bought had mouldlines under the feet where said metal bar would have been in an original, and that's a dead giveaway of the fact it was a recast of one miniature where the bar was removed
if you buy multiples of the same piece you can also check if they have little damage to the metal in the same identical spots
>>
>>92708169
You've summed it up perfectly. It's part of the reason I enjoyed WHFB over the years, because all those types of players have moved on to AoS and the latest 40k. TOW has been the worst thing to happen to this game and this general in the last 10 years, it has brought a lot of this behavior back into our game.

While I see the temptation to go Nurgle with the plague and abominations giving that vibe, I think you can't go wrong with VC. Zombies, ghouls, some banshees/ghosts, dire wolf hellhounds, fel bat gargoyles (or just bats), necromancers/acolytes, and you have the leader as a Necrarch/master necromancer lich, or a Blood Dragon Death Knight. Abominations are the only problem with the VC choice, but could be unit fillers for zombies or some kind of black coach conversion? Consider Skrag the Slaughterer as an abom pulling a plague cauldron.

Bros, I stripped this second hand vintage rat ogre and as you can hopefully see he's looking weird. The surface is very rough and grainy. It's especially visible on the sword blade. I am not sure if it is a crude recast or perhaps a case of lead rot. It was part of a batch of minis that looked like they were painted in the 90s by a kid (goblin green, crude paintjob, lots of super glue, etc) so unlikely to be recent.

unfortunately, the vast majority of people that do end up painting their miniatures for game purposes are surprisingly devoid of creativity and will go with "boxart" schemes as if they were assembling a puzzle and the official scheme was the instructions.

all exaggeration aside, I've always been fond of older and chunkier models.

but for the vast majority of my hobby life they were always something most people would either replace as soon as possible or not be interested in at all.

he'll, as late as 2012/2013 I remember you could find long discontinued metal models on ebay for no more than 2-3 dollars a pop.

I'm sure that the back catalog still being technically available also somewhat helped with that. oldhammer as a movement was just about coming to light and the price for OOP dwarfs or goblins had not yet begun to rise.

I remember buying stuff like 12 metal dwarf miners for $9 plus shipping; or missing an auction for the dwarven dragon company that ended up at less than $15 and thinking "whatever, another one will pop up soon"

for cheap bastards like me who really like old models it was a golden age, where I could accumulate models older than me for a pittance.

No they just kinda started being blue one day, probably because greenskins were already the 'green' army so they were trying to make the lizardmen more visually distinct. As for orcs theres some passin mentions about the color being caused by some kinda green fungus or something. But really is just because greenskinz are greenskinz, its their iconic look that gw gave em way back when so why ever change it

Dragons are not an issue, playing below 2k and adding any sort of comp is the issue.

If you want to nerf dragons you only to need to remove 2 items from behemoths. Seed of Rebirth, and enchanting aura.

No, that anon has a point. People who are not very successful in other aspects of their lives may use things like that to polish up their ego with easy wins and consequently have their self-esteem tied to it more than is healthy. Not exactly uncommon (and not just limited to wargaming either), but of course not the only reason to be a competitive gamer. Just happens that those people also tend to be unpleasant encounters because they don't have the perspective to see the game as just a game and make sore losers and winners.

You could fix dragons by going after stats, points, access to magic items, specific magic items, how monster mounts work, etc. But honestly, having a single model be a third of your army like WoC do is already lame as hell. I'd rather see rules changes than the same dragonlord builds at a higher price point.
>>
>>92713651
It's a bit silly of a concept. The more competitive people play a given game system (which popularity lends itself to), the less easy of a win it'll be. The people who manage to consistently win tournaments in 40k face much steeper competition than the wins people playing in more casual settings do. To speak to my own experience, the most biggest power gamer in my friend group is a lawyer irl and also the most physically fit. He doesn't seek easy wins in things like gaming / wargaming, it's just how he is as a person.

A manticore is also giving more wounds than it should, if you look at its 8th edition stats it had fewer wounds than a griffon (and you can’t ride a chimera). Look at griffons and great eagles and phoenix mounts as the comparison, especially as the latter have unmounted stats with identical wounds to 8th, and it looks like the dragon is consistently giving 2 more wounds than it should.

Yes. They are blue. You can paint your army any color you like but the standard color for lizardmen in the lore (since 6th edition at least) is blue.
The different dinos aren't blue, neither are the slann or chameleon skinks. I have seen some nice looking red color scheme lizardmen armies but I painted mine blue because it feels more right. Kind of like you could paint your empire army all black skin but it would feel weird since they are based on Germans.

>>92709807
From an experienced player - collect half of that. Work on painting it up and playing games around the 1k points lv, then after a few (at least 5) games you'll know exactly what you're missing and how you want your full list to operate. Not only will this teach you how to play TOW and how to play Orcs in TOW, but your games won't feel as bad to lose because its not your 'real' army.

On a model to model basis? No. Doom Divers are straight up the best stone thrower weapon in the game. The advantage is that you get two Spear Chukka's for 1 Doom Diver in terms of points. So it's a cost efficiency thing.

I still REALLY advocate towards Squigs though. Hoppers are absolute fucking bastards, with 360 degree charges that you can't react to because of Randomised movement (which at 3D6, kind of isn't?) and with Cav Spears hit like a goddamn freight train. NOBODY is ready to have a unit turn 180 degrees, charge a unit that just appeared behind them (because I am an idiot, to clarify) and delete an entire unit of dwarf miners off the board. S5 -1AP with impact hits (1) and the fucking things are WS4! Then the goblin riders finish things off with their St4 -1AP spears.

Enough to stomp your local community, maybe. When you see the same few guys in the top 8 of any big event they go to though, that points to something other than army. Hell, to speak of 40k, there was a guy who won a dozen consecutive tournaments running a different army each time, or a guy who put up many tournament wins with an army that was ~35% winrate at the time. This is even more notable in video games. Armada was a swedish guy who played melee for a living, and went on a streak from 2009-2018 where he did not place below fifth at any tournament, and dropped a game to a total of around 5 people.

Nah, it just means that if everyone is taking the most broken bullshit possible then their level of skill *relative to each other* does come back into the equation. If people were showing up to tournaments *regularly* with memelists and fluffy Your Dudes and beating the WAACfaggots with their netlists, then you're have a point, but they don't, it's happened like three times as you listed them. The vast, vast majority of tournaments even top-tier ones are just people who're willing to be assholes when listbuilding playing each other - which would be fine, much better they're off jerking each other off than ruining their local scenes, but unfortunately most of them do both.

I don't. One game they'll be IC, next game they'll be normal knights. Often run my ironsides as handgunners with no armour.

Both had 4 wounds in 8th iirc, I guess the retarded imperial griffon may have had more but that thing is dumb.
Dragons had 6 wounds on average historically.

>eagles
Arent monsters, theyre monstrous mounts, which ironically have been combined profile (where they gave +1/+0 wounds depending on lord-hero status). Monstrous mounts giving +1 wound is fine and appropriate. Monsters giving their wounds total is also fine, even if it leads to issues because combined profiles are inherently bad for monsters.

At worst you can say that elf dragons (as well as human/elf mounts in general) give too high a T boost.

>>92713751
Nothing in the game is WS8/9 any more, not really. Statlines have been heavily homogenized for no good reason.
But yes, save stacking on monsters is the problem, because combined profile is bad and stupid and I want everyone who asked for it to kill themselves.

there were no plastic weapons teams other than the island of blood ones which weren't multi-build for obvious reasons. The screaming bell and warp lightning cannon were multi-build however.

40k / AoS doesn't have the majority of their factions unavailable to buy. There aren't many new kits being made. I think the StD have seen more new kits revealed over the lifespan of TOW so far, and AoS certainly has seen more new kits over the same timeframe.

I've only played a couple games of HH2, but I've also watched a couple others be played. Small scene full of sweaty little shits.

If not he just loses. Other than that it was near identical lists return firing each other with heavy weapons squads and contemptor dreads. Somehow seems like a worse game system than modern 40k.

What was the point of making him PK if the Tyrion is the de facto faction leader for the Helves? I always thought that the Phoenix King was such a cool concept, and Finubar's election in particular as a guy with a massive international network following a period of crippling isolation for Últhuan an interesting idea for a war game, but why did James just refuse to do anything with him? For such a popular faction it's crazy their leader might as well be a literal who in the game AND fluff.

leaving aside the cuck shit it's actually refreshing to have a faction leader that's not necessarily also its foremost fighter/caster/general on the wargame

I've a question about bases lads.
For chariots, your base has to be 50 x 100 mm.
Say I want to use an alternate model as my chariot; a giant with a wide stance - am I allowed to just turn the base so the widest side faces the enemy? Is this a tactical booboo?
>>
>>92718093
I'm a lore-let and I don't disagree that having the politics man be not the best fighter is cool. But why also have Tyrion be the international diplomat then?
>>
>>92718134
It is a bad idea tactically. It makes your frontage either and it's not music and units hit you.

Whether it's kosher is up to your opponent. But that's true of anything from custom units to playing elves.
>>
>>92718183
>why also have Tyrion be the international diplomat then?
Because GW has shit eyes especially when it comes to elves. Lots of characters who are the best fighter, but also the best wizard, but also the best statesmen, but also a strategic genius.
>>
>>92718209
Best fighter and best wizard are generally kept separate. I don't think Gelt has ever been portrayed as a better fighter than Franz or Helborg.
>>
>>92718183
>But why also have Tyrion be the international diplomat then?
I don't think he is, tyrion is paraded around ulthuan because he's beloved by the elven kingdoms, but I don't know of his use elsewhere.

the 2 egregious instances of diplomatic relations were when teclis aided the empire with magic during the great war and when the everchild was sent to make talks with the dwarfs.

In other cases it was finubar, the sword he uses I think was a gift from some arabyan guy.
maybe you're mistaking tyrion's posterboy status in total war for something else?

What baffles me with Ginubar is that at least to my knowledge he's the only faction leader (or what passes for it in shit like Beastmen that are more decentralized) to never get anything remotely official.

I guess Skaven clans are also represented by high level officials instead of actual leaders, but at least there we have the excuse of the big hats being 100% dedicated to Council of 13 bullshit. Finubar just doesn't do anything because Tyrion does it for him and that's that.
>>
>>92718277

I don't think that's how it works. You can only target characters so it can't be used on normal standard bearers. If it targeted a character with a BSB that item would still be there it could just not be used. That's at least how I read it.

>>92718778
>Killing blow, or strikes first is cool
To me the option of taking Poisoned Attacks on them seems like the way to go given their potential for lots of low WS and low S attacks.
>w3 t5 5+ is relatively squishy
I'd beg to differ. I'd say that is quite durable in my book.
>Competition from Dragon Ogres and Razorgors
That's my main gripe with them honestly. Said two options with their reliable speed and more devastating attacks are in all likelyhood a much better pick for one model mini-monster unit and if you're after a proper regiment then Minotaurs or Dragon Ogres seem to be the way to go. Even against a big regiment of lightly armoured infantry you're going to get a much more steady dmg output from Minotaurs with shields.

That being so my thinking is that Spawns are probably best in something like a unit of 2 models holding down a flank while your heavy hitters try to crush the opposite one.
>>92718695
As I understand things their main downfall is the random movement stopping them from being a reliable stop gap for an army that thrives on speed. Granted, with their high ld and Unbreakable they can be trusted to hold up by their lonesome on a far flank or something, which can definitely serve to deny said flank for certain threats.
>>

Griffons (at least in the high elf book) had 5 while Manticores (in WoC) had 4.

>>92719053
Check out the rules for army composition and build something that looks fun to you. There are no such thing as tutorial units every unit can be used by a new player assuming they have read the rules. If you want your army to not be bad you can try to search around online for people's opinion if there are any units too weak to be fun to use (otherwise you'll form your own opinion once you start playing and can finish your army accordingly).

Killing blow and poisoned attacks are both fishing for 6's anyways, but I think the payoff for killing blow is higher than the payoff for a poisoned attack, especially with the poor armour piercing. Their strength isn't great either though.

That was my point. Their movement puts them in a somewhat awkward position where the best place for them seems to be to in a spot where their speed won't matter too much. Holding down a flank, especially against things that would otherwise have the option of kiting stuff out of position, seems like the one spot they would possible thrive in.

That spawn on the right is killer. Would field even if it was complete shit.

>Their strength isn't great either though.
Nor is their WS. What makes me rate Poisoned Attacks over Killing Blow is that the latter relies on the attack getting through two calculations they're likely to struggle with whereas the former frees you from one at the point where you maximise your chances of rolling 6s while also not robbing you of their Armour Bane bonus.

Too many people to want to reply to, but here's a few table showing in what scenarios each poisoned vs killing blow are better. The comparison table green is Poisoned is better, red is Killing Blow is better. If you have a multiple wound infantry or cav, killing blow is better other than t6 6+ units. If killing blow doesn't work, it's better against t4 or less 2+ saves, and t3 or worse 3+ saves, and t2 4+ saves. To me, this shows Killing Blow being better against a wider variety of targets, and against harder to crack targets at that.

I started buying my models off of Ebay and restoring them, you can get them for cheap and with a jewelry cleaner you can get them really clean.

DESU the problem i have with Nu GW modesl is they are WAY to fucking busy for unit model.
If you take a look at say the new chosen, or new chaos warriors for example, every single one looks like what a character would have looked like, it makes painting them fucking miserable because they are all so fucking busy all the time.

For some fucking reason, 1 unit of 30 of the same monopose high elf looks better than 1 unit of 30 nuChaos Warriors where there is a 3:1 ratio of repeating dudes.
Soul exists and nuShit doesnt have it

>>92720451
Yes we get it, fatcast are ugly. The bulk of GW models for TOW are just classic sculpts though. Buying discounted from a store is the best of all worlds. It shows interest into GW to do something other than shovel out more primaris marines and stormcast. It benefits your lgs. And, it's decent prices for the amount of service GW provides if you have any issues with the product. I recently bought a wizard on horse 3rd party. It comes not on a sprue but all the bits in a blister pack. The horse's head was missing and when I contacted the vendor all they were willing to do is refund like 15%.

OH i agree with that as well. i was on here bitching the other day about the new knight models. I have been buidling and painting models for like 12 years now, that is the first kit i ever put down and shoved back in teh box, i did not even finish one model because its so fucking horribly designed.

>Monopose
This is also why i fucking HATE the CAD monopose shit because every thing is exactly the same.
Zoomer lover to try and joke about how "Oh your multi pose models sucked you could only move the arms a little bit lol thats not really multi pose." But dont seem to understand that the slightest change breaks up the uniformity of the model and make it seem far more organic. Like those skeletons, if you could just rotate their arms a bit it would let you break up the uniformity of it.
>>92720585
Yeha just a quick soak in rubbing alcohol a path in a jewelry cleaner, and BAM shits looking great.
>>
>>92720597
Strangely the issues with posing isn't universal to new shit. The tau commander kit is relatively new and is posable to a very good degree. I've heard the plastic cerastus knight kits are even better, with posable toes. But beyond not being posable, having shit like a half a leg sculpted on a horse, or one piece that"s part of a torso, arm, and leg in obnoxious for converting.

That is true, and if you can, good for you. I've seen a bit of wargames atlantic stuff in store, but the only box that was relevant for any fantasy battle army was some halfling militia that I'll be using as archers. I've been to a fair few game stores in the past few years thanks to moving and seldom do they sell anything useful 3rd party. Off the top of my head I've been to 13 non GW stores, and 2 of them have sold wargame atlantic / dnd minis. 5 of them also only sold GW products as far as wargaming goes, though most of those were mainly focused on other products, like comics, books, magic the gathering, or humorously, a gun range.

Third party or invest in a printer.

Don't listen to the 3d printer people. 3d printed resin is fucking miserable to work with if it ever breaks or if you want to convert anything ever.

>>92720945
Resin is always fucking terrible to work with retard, its part of the deal when you want to work with it.
>>
>>92721058
3d printer resin tends to be much more brittle, where cast resin's main issue is being warping / voids. When 3d printed resin snaps, it also often often doesn't do so in a clean break, and the break is very very smooth which makes gluing it a pain. I've done my fair share of working with recast (and also forgeworld) resin, and I've had to repair a bunch of broken 3d printed tomb guard / scorpions. I'd pick recast resin every day of the week.

There are quite a few for the Bretonnians, especially the peasants. Personally I don't mind cleaning moldlines, but they are very noticeable if you don't.
>>
>>92721262
Blood Knights do have one of the better propositions for taking a large cav squad, since they're reasonably durable and gain a ton of value when revived.
>>92719716
They seem like cooler tomb kings. They have great tar pits, the spell to spawn new zombies seem very annoying for opponents, and they leadership bomb people very effectively. Cav are okay but not the best way to run them, and the monster mounted combat characters aren't the best out there (but still likely solid considering how good monster mounts are this edition). Taking wizards on mortis engines and casting at +6 to make your opponent's dragonlords or other bullshit melt from screaming seems incredibly cathartic to me.

>For some fucking reason, 1 unit of 30 of the same monopose high elf looks better than 1 unit of 30 nuChaos Warriors where there is a 3:1 ratio of repeating dudes.
Pattern recognition, my dude. If everything looks the same then that is not a distinguishing feature within the example. However if certain traits shows up occasionally then you'll have an easier time spotting them the more they repeat within the given number of things. Since the models represent individual soldiers clones stand out unless the regiment manages to obfuscate the individual tree within the proverbial forest. This is why painting the clones differently helps a bit, which is also why you can often catch this approach when looking at background characters in paintings and cartoons etc.
>>
>>92721484
Plastic ones? Your lgs
Metal ones? Marketplace/eBay
>>
>>92721460
Timmy has an association in mtg with people who just want to take big stompy things (analogous to dragons and monsters). In TOW, they are currently meta, which makes some anons very upset at monsters and people who take them.

Gotta be close one of my least favorite dragons.

>>92722178
Fantasy, but 8th edition. There's incarnates of each wind of magic, but they only made models for Beasts and I think Fire too? They're basically Greater Daemons of the magical wind that appear when there's enough of one particular wind of magic and it can coalesce into one being for a time.

I think those skele's look great on their own. For a skirmish level game they're excellent. But even without repeating models they look horrible as a ranked unit.

The sway and stance they have is great for a skeleton warrior shambling through deserted streets. It looks horrible for a unit marching to battle.

No. Everyone in the CITY of Mousillon fukken died during the Affair of the False Grail, but the rest of the dukedom was fine, and the entire dukedom including the city is populated afterwards, except the ducal palace itself. Affair of the False Grail/Maldred are hundreds of years away from current Bretonnia though, but Merovech's autistic fuckery would be a fresh memory.
