That's something. I am split though if to include the arrer boyz + spider, cause I tjink with decent dice I could tear chunks out of a cavalry unit before contact (two shots max before contact).

Bolt thrower I have been told is a waste but I feel that utilising it as a threat could do wonders. Others have said grab a 3rd troll instead. I know this orc army is not gonna do half as well as my chaos army which finished 3rd lqst but would like to end up mid table if i can help it.

My god modern Warhammer is so fucking gay. Watch as the devs shoehorn Reddit Ice Bears and Tigermen into the before any classic faction. Fuck TOW fuck AoS fuck 40k. Total paypiggy death.

>>97565389
It's about theme, skellingtons are and have always been chaf, OBR aren't supposed to be chaf they're fluffed up as elite among the undead. Other elite armies normally have to make due with 5/10 boxes.

>>97565488
"Elite" or not they take up less space in the box, hence in 20s.

I don't want to start another row tribalist shitposting but I really want to get it out there how much it annoys me to see Cathay get developed in a much wackier and more fantastical direction than CoS.

So I read through the StarCraft beta rules, and my initial impression is mixed.

Luckily, its a lot less a 40k rip-off than I was expecting. I was also worried by the amount of special rules on those preview cards, along with the alternating unit activations EVERY phase (that one I'm still skeptical on), but after seeing how many units per game, its less of a concern. For reference, the starters shown pretty much make 1k point armies, with 2k the standard game size.

Lethality is a concern. Everything is chunky in wounds, the only models with only 1 HP is the Zerglings and Roachlings. Attacks are pretty straightforward; Roll D6 pool equal to attacks for the unit, X+ hit, then roll armor with X+ removing a hit, any hits left deal damage. But unless the unit is supposed to suck at it, most To Hit values are 3+ or 4+, while armor is mostly 5+ or 6+, with 4+ limited to the heaviest armor, like on Goliaths. And there's also a 'Surge' system, where some weapons are a lot better against others. If a weapon has a Surge, its tied to a keyword, so if your weapon has 'Light' as the Surge, it only affects units with the 'Light' keyword. And what Surge does is it allows 'X' hits bypass armor saves. I'd have to see how it rolls out in games to see if its too muich.

The army construction rules are a fucking mess and definitely WIP. The Tactics card system is interesting, since each card gives you special abilities you can use, but also determines your force org and can instead be used to resources for in game. But how the army comes together the problem, which can be inferred if you have any experience with these games, but if you're new to wargames, you're fucked.. The cards have point costs listed like XXX/YYY, with no indication to what you are paying for. And upgrades have 2 difference formats of how they cost, but again, no indication how they actually work.

Seems like the Gundam starter set will be RX-78, Barbatos Lupus, Wing Zero, Gundam Vidar, Gundam Epyon, and Char's Zaku II. The included RX-78 is a melee oriented load out, with a 6 power beam saber, not the version with the beam rifle whose unit card we've seen before. Vidar has an *8* power melee attack. The units all have subtitles now, like in the TCG, presumably to differentiate different versions of the same suit. The beam rifle RX-78 is "White Devil" whereas the beam saber version is "Hero of Side 7".

The deluxe set seems to be the battle of A Baoa Qu. Gundam and feddie friends vs Zeong and co. Starter set most likely includes the cardboard terrain used in the demo, the deluxe set possibly including unpainted plastic terrain. Games are apparently intended to last around 45 minutes and then generally end by timer or turn count (via the timeline tracker) and 5v5 is a typical game size (unclear if that means games are always 5 units or if that's just an average list, no list building details). One of their documents is like a "steps to playing competitively" checklist, including "tournament prep", so they're definitely planning organized play.

New Mantic game coming this year need it or keep it?

>>97564764
Rank and file and loose don’t matter really.
I usually go for models that can be ranked up as intended to keep the option open for playing them in ranked up formations.

I think I might have to commission. Not sure about good ones out there that know not to jam details over every polygon on the miniature stl and one that won’t break my wallet like a warhammer army would.

>>97565483
This WASN'T in my bingo cards

So realistically how many more years has AoShit got left? It's starting to get to the point in its lifespan where it's having to "squat" pre-existing armies and units to make way for new stuff, it's questionable if the game has the innate popularity to really survive that.

>Looks in 40kg
>Literally dog shit
>Looks in AoSg
>p okay

>>97554931
You know what?
The only two things I like about AoS, and literally two of them, are some of the models and the concept of the realms.

Models like Tree Revenants are actually cool and would've fit WHFB Wood Elves due to their theme and be like a bridge between Asrai and Tree Spirits. The early undead models (especially the Skeleton ones) also had that WHFB feel about them.
The Realms on the other hand? On paper they feel like an interesting concept. Realms of Magic based off the Winds of Magic from WHFB with environments, fauna and flora based off said winds. Shame it all went to shit here.
Two good things stuck in a shit game.

>>97565395
You are the first aos "hater" I've seen who likes the realms, never mind one who thinks it's actually one of the best things about it. Very strange taste.

>>97565409
I was there when AoS got revealed with models, rules and art.
Hated everything but the realms themselves on paper felt like something that, if GW actually worked on those much more, would've been something that could've partially alleviated.
I like that the realms cause physical changes to people living in them and that should be expanded further.
But again. It's all stuck in a inferior setting.
Wished Warhammer Fantasy had this, but that would've been the biggest, nonsensical asspull that would be impossible to add in a organic way. Not even stuff like "these always were" or that "they were forming the first time magic came to be". So while I like the concept of the realms and what they cause, to the point that would've liked those in mainline WHFB, that would be way too much without pulling one hell of an asspull. Not to mention it would be utterly stupid and inorganic.

My first thought was a super mutant from that fallout 25mm mini game but I can't find the specific head.

Actually this might not be the most accurate; this has the old 1.0 powerpack and feet. Take with a grain of salt + remember GW does change things a bit for the final release;

- The numk2 faceplate is slightly different between the crewman and the tactical/assault squads, so are the rivets (notably on the helmet)
- The breacher shield on Fafnir was clearly the base of the nu breacher shields though they were modified to look closer to the old 1.0 breacher shields.

The existing miniatures/artworks are a good base to guess what the armor will end up looking like but not entirely accurate; will do a comparison when the numk5 kit is revealed.

Always has been. Traveling to other planets always counted as isekai and there's been numerous prominent uncontroversial examples from A Princess of Mars to The Vision of Escaflowne to reverse isekai like Urusei Yatsura.

It's just not really focused on for certain series.

>Tell me about /your dudes/ in Legion, anon.
I'm building a Separatist Holdout so I can fight my buddy's Empire. I'm building the models so have nothing to show yet lol
Plan to include only characters who are still around during the Empire so Maul, Kalani, Bossk, Cad Bane, Hondo and the generic Sep Leaders. I'm debating whether or not I'm "allowed" to bring Ventress as she's still alive then and I love her character.
I also want to bring some pirates and mercs who have been hired to bulk out the Holdout's military. I'm playing with the idea of making a custom Gizor Dellso and using Poggle's profile for 'em.

Sovl. I also feel like Gizor and Poggle are a good fit. With the new pirates coming out soon, doing a merc force should be viable

I don't see why not. You could also get some other mini and run it using her rules. After all, there were plenty of dark jedi under Dooku's service in the EU.

also, i dont have art of him yet, but her arch-enemy is shin-oni, the techno tyrant

the supernatural being oni was from feudal japan who ruled over a powerful kingdom as a cruel overlord using his mystic powers and overwhelming might
he was defeated and then sealed by a shinobi fdor hundreds of years until he was revived in [present day] by a powerful japanese zaibatsu that was founded by his followers who plotted for hundreds of years
oni could only be brought back using a combination of science and sorcery, all funded by the corporate conglomerate of oni-corp, and he was subbed shin-oni

shin-oni normally doesnt hide the fact he is a magical ogre from japan, but he feels that his overt mechanical augments are dishonorable, so he wears a giant billowing haori to cover his metallic augments and a large red oni-mask to cover the big red terminator eye implanted in his face
