sort of not really

all he was a leader of one of Nurgle subfactions "the Flightbringers" much like how Changeling & Gutrot spume got his own crew. Most of his lore is just him running around in the realm

of the warrior of chaos the only one that got actual AOS lore was
>Valkyia
>Glottkin
>Gutrot spume

worst has to be Scyla who entire lore was that he got lost in Tzeentch labyrinth till 3 edition where they retcon him leaving it during the age of sigmar

Hobgrots are dysgenic freaks. Wish we got Hobgoblins chads from WHFB. Just call them Hobgoblynz if it’s a trademark thing ( it is )
>>
>>93905736
>>
>>93905421
Because GW purged all the resin unless resin made up a huge part of the army or at least was too much of the army to remove. Keeping them to WHFB as to not confuse people. GW will just make new stuff.

But I also thought that Throgg the Troll King should have been renamed as Troll King and Troll Hag renamed Troll Queen. But again we know why. GW wants to purge all old WHFB stuff from AoS. Which is why all the FW stuff doesn't get rules any more. Why they can't just keep putting out pdfs I don't know.
>>
>>93906019
Because those are competing games within GW’s archaic business structure of pitting departments against one another.

>>93904670
What are you on about? Dinosaur means dread-lizard/reptile. Dino = dread, saur = lizard/reptile. Why are you surprised that a faction full of lizards has a lot of dinosaurs? Like, every single one is a lizard. Including the dinosaurs. Like what more do you want? Anything you'd get is going to be a reptile at best or a lizard. Turtles were once upon a time a thing in Lustria but IDK got those (not that GW seems to care about giving factions visually similar things). Coatl are still flying lizards/reptiles.

Now I could agree with you they could have a giant snake creature, or snake riding skinks or something and have them called Avatar of Sotek if it's a giant snake or Riders of Sotek if cavalry. But, again, could step too much on other models/units that have snakes. The only time that Lizardmen didn't have an out and out lizard were the culchans which were giant predatory birds. GW then went with Raptordons instead.
>>
>>93906033
Yeah that's my point. But putting out a pdf for Legends for Mournguls or Skin Wolves or whatever hardly hurts. Think of the poor sods who bought a Dread Saurian (me) or Vorgarath who now don't have rules to use their models unless they homebrew them and somebody goes 'OK'.

That’ll teach you to buy GW. The only limited refuge of the churn cycle in GW is specialist games. If you’re playing 40k or AoS the business model is built around fucking customers over time to encourage new purchases.

>>93906597
Have you tried CoS Dawnbringers in Warcry? Might be a good way to get use of the models even if you don't like their AoS rules. Not 100% sure on their playstyle but I've heard the warhulk is an MVP unit for them.
>>
>>93906615

I haven't played Warcry yet, but I do have a box of The Unmade for it. Working on some Killteam stuff in the meantime alongside finishing big units like Sigvald and manifestations.

Warcry is definitely on the list. I'm starting to think I should sell a lot of shit off and just be a specialist gamer.

>>
>>93906615
The nature of warcry means they have a lot of playstyles depending on the specific units you're fielding, generally they're geared towards the same fantasy as the tabletop with being able to hunker down and be hard to remove but obviously they can do a lot more. Brethren of the bolt give them some silly stuff they can do with outputting insane damage, and i'm partial to a silly build where you take flagellants + the guy who gives you extra dice for each injured/dead fighter, then ally in the fyreslayer guy who buffs allies when one of your units dies.

Warhulk himself is a little weird because he's so expensive and his shooting can't be good because it'd be oppressive, but he's a solid piece who's difficult to kill and who dishes out a lot of melee damage. He synergizes well with the beefier guys in the warband because of their faction reaction. but can also just be a big hulking threat in a warband otherwise focusing on ranged or agile stuff.

The surfaces are so uneven that I get confused. There are many ltitle bumps and ripples and veins in random areas. I'm in the middle of putting a lighter layer and i have to go around it like a line of ants walking around a rock.

At the same time, I'm not sure how to paint the veins and scars. the little pink lines on the right thigh are just tests. i was thinkning of using more green but i want them to be a pale pink like a scar. I also fucked up while airbrushing the horns and got some on the upper parts of the skin.

While agree that this guy is an almost perfect sculpt that "tells a story" subtley and differently than other characters,
I think whoever did the paintjob on him deserves credit too. The colors are work together perfectly with smooth transitions. everything is exactly where it needs to be (at least from this angle).

>>93904799
I think AoS in general has very few "bad" models if any. So it's hard for me to have a favorite since I really think they all look great even if I personally dislike the asesthetic/faction. The first ones that come to mine are the Lord of Plagues...

Back in ye olden times there was Man O' War for naval battles in Fantasy. Near the end of the wargame's lifespan there was also Dreadfleet, which was kind of like Warhammer Quest or Underworlds, but with ships.

Nothing like this has been done for AoS, though I think the setting definitely has good potential for it.

For most part the game is very fun, probably the most engaging it's been with all the reactivity, and things like all over 3 inch combat range and getting rid of battleshock making the game just less of a pain in the ass to play, but that comes with a BIG asterisk

The army building fucking S U C K S and while I'm not sure it's bad enough to ruin the edition, it's close

>>93910018
I'm just going to piggyback on this guy and say I agree on all points. I hate the list restrictions. Actual play feels real smooth. A couple of wargear combinations actually helps keep things moving nicely as well, even if I still begrudge the loss of options a bit
>>
>>93910018
>The army building fucking S U C K S
its only a problem if your expectation is to be able to do literally whatever you want.
>>
>>93910070
It varies by faction but the power of the 2 drop army usually getting to choose priority means a lot of lists are horrifically restrictive on how many heroes you can bring. Not to mention the stupid seasonal rules and battle tactics actively discourage you from filling out your General's regiment, even though it gets an extra slot.
>>
>>93909942
well I guess that's better for me since I'm a hobby fag who has only played like 2 games and there's plenty of other stuff I plan/must paint
>>
>>93910091
Leaving your general slot empty is a bonus for going 3 heroes that allows it to be played. A list wanting more than 3 and then not having the fourth be a bonus hero is a corner case. I've only run into it with Ironjawz list building.
Double turns fucking with list building because of priority isn't new either.
>>
>>93910070
No it's a real problem for some armies with low value utility heroes that for whatever reason didn't get the bonus hero rule, the murknob with betcha banna comes to mind. There are a lot of cases of heroes that you might take if it didn't increase your armies drops and lower your chance of roll off for 1st turn, but they've really flubbed it kind of all over the game but not uniformly. Some armies like fyreslayers are much more forgiving in list building with almost no restrictions
>>
>>93910160
Its an annoyance, its not a "real problem" that belcha banner goes from c tier to d tier. KB isn't fighting for 2 drop anyway almost ever.

I hope this isn't a too stupid of a question from the noob, but do the good guys ever win in the setting? Or do they keep losing all the time. Are there any good stories about epic heroes achiving victory. I am new and the Community site, plus the few starter and books I read has the humans and elfs, even dwarfs get punked all the time.
>>
>>93911269
Actually one of the reasons why AoS actually exists. Internally, GW thought that 'good guys (or less bad guys) losing all the time' was pretty boring in BOTH settings. 40k is meant to be '1 min to midnight' and AoS is meant to be '1 min after midnight'. Still bad, but a little bit of hope. WHFB literally opened with "Yeah Chaos wins, you're just fighting the inevitable". 40k is specifically about raging against a fate that is overdue.

As for AoS, good guys do stuff, bad guys do stuff. You're unlikely to have any 'good guys' winning something that will actually mean ultimate victory (aka Chaos, Death and Destruction totally defeated) and defo not at this point.

In terms of stuff in the setting so far, the 'good guys' have won stuff. But also lost stuff.
>>
>>93911269
Which ones were those? I haven't read anything with the protagonists losing. The Dawnbringers campaign series was significant in pitching a loss for one of the two storylines in it
>>
>>93911269
When the 1st starter box released Sigmar's forces held literally 0 settlements outside of Azyr and Sigmar didn't even have his titular Warhammer.
Now you have dozen grand Cities of Sigmar scathered around the world.
Conclusion of the 2nd edition storyline, Soul Wars, was elves defeating Nagash and stoping his evil ritual.
Warhammer has a lot of misary wank, because hacks writing it think grimderp is a needed component, but good guys have objectively been wining since this game started
>>
>>93911364
okey, thanks. It feels a bit odd. But I am new, so being perplexed by something is normal.

>>93911374
I read short stories on the community site. All of them end with gigants, orcs or chaos or undead winning. And then I read some books for armies and some stuff is just, I lack the words to describe it. There is some big war, the good guys have supposably won something and then the very next sentance I read that evil rat people have bombs under every good guys base and their cities are infilatrate with chaos, vampires etc.
>>
>>93911445
Warhammer is enjoyed because it isn't always about the good guys winning. It's varied and sometimes victory looks like a defeat or vice-a-versa. Also, it's to help you form your own narratives in game. You're not going to win every time as the good guys, so you can tie it into a narrative.
>>
>>93911384
I just don't want to play the side that is losing. A lot of the stories seem to end with some deux ex machine with the evil guys having the plan to lose all along, because now the place is unfit to live or "radioactive" or milion demons pop out and kill everyone. But again I am new, I have to just get used to this type of lore.

>>93911492
People here have been losing for the last few centuries, I guess we don't like having losing in our fiction too. But from what I hear the sci fi Warhammer is even worse with the bad guys litteraly winning all the time and humanity being turned in to some sort of abomination
>>
>>93911520
Warhammer 40k is basically about how humanity has avoided destruction by turning extremely draconian and 'ends justifies the means' evil. But the alternative is even worse. The bad guys win because for some reason GW thinks 'dude raging against the dying of the light' is great. And writers like ADB telling everybody that Chaos won 10,000 years ago and essentially every faction bar Chaos are just pointlessly flailing didn't go down well but GW kept going and kept listening to that clown which is why we have female Custodes now.

But AoS is meant to be a bit more hopeful. It's grim as shit but there are sparks of hope firing in the darkness and the question is will it turn into a flame? You're now not sure who will win or how stuff will go, whereas WHFB was, as I said
>Chaos wins, you're just delaying the inevitable, enjoy lol
>>
>>93911384
He got Ghal maraz back until uhhh, my Abhorrent Archregent took it....

>>93911545
There is a writer called ADB , funny.
Maybe I just read too much of the new starter lore. It is like the best of the good guys are falling apart, some get changed in to women or don't remember if they are women or men. It is super grim and not in the ,my positions get hit by a rocket artilery barrage, but rather then I came back from war to see that those that didn't go to fight got rich, married etc while I lost a hand and half a leg, type of grim.

Logical progression of AoS's metaplot basicaly forbids Chaos from winning.
They blew their load and failed another try would just be pointless repetition.

>>93911621
I still have yet to really get too attached to the setting, it's a bit all over the place wherein Warhammer fantasy was just inherently grounded in "It's earth but magic". I'm sure there's lots of cool shit, admitedly i've only read one book and it was some lame ass one about the gloomspite gitz that felt more like an advertisement for the range than a well put together story. Supposedly soul wars is pretty good but I haven't touched it yet.

The only Bowden I know of was a british officers, who defected to Israel after sending them weapons, ammo etc But I don't know the guy personaly or from his work, unless he writes short stories for the community page or the one in the Skaven Tide box or the army book for Elves and Sigmar knights.

I did read a fun book though. My aunt borrowed it for me. Was a hard read, because german isn't even my third language, but it was very fun. It was about a dude and his dwarf friend beating goat people.

I mean I'm glad you enjoyed it. There are a few good books out there, despite people's reticence to say anything positive about BL. ADB has good prose, but he has fetishes that he cannot avoid stuffing into his books and it is irritating.

>>93911827
I probably don't know enough to be 100% sure. I do like how the elves that live in the woods and ride dragons and eagles look and I like everything knight looking. I even got a few models. My riend bought 5 boxes of starters and couldn't sell someone of them, so I got a lot of models with shields and hammers, two handed hammers, like 3 guys with sword and torche, 3 "anachorite" ( I don't know if sigmar has ortodox monks, but we call those that) dudes with big brazier and flaming sword. It would probably be the easiest to start playing the dudes , I already have models for.
I know that I hate the animal people , especialy rats. rats kills pigglets and rabbits. Hate their very idea.

Oh that is very cool, so there are going to be more and new stories.

>>93911898
Hmm that is an odd naming convention. All "black" here would either have black hair or be evil. I think the only The Black dude that wasn't named that because of his hair was a Vareg war war leader of st Olga, who was called that either because his armour was black or because he was evil (liked killing children, women etc) and the blood and tears of his victims made his armour black.

Those don't exist in aos anymore, if you want to play those models you'd need to play TOW which almost noone plays

Good to know the name. Right now I am at the point of pondering what kind of a monster decided for the models to come in so many parts. After assembling one of the "anachorite" dudes I wanted to throw out the model. Those things are build for people who have been building models probably for years.

I am sad about the forest elfs. But it is what it is.
Now I am far away from starting to learn to play, but is there a legal way to mix models or armies up? Like could I have stormcast army and a contingent from another one. There is a model I rally like, but I am not sure if it is a stormcast one.
>>
>>93912202
Wood elves are part of the season 1 tow, but not until the AoS equivalent get a replacement for the midllehammer dryads.
I expect them in 2026, many aos factions still have remants of warhammer that need to be purged.
Skavens were until 4th edition the biggest offenders.

>>93911545
Jumping in to the lore discussion as another noobie. Isn't the new lore now that instsad of Chaos inevitably winning like in WHFB its going to be Nagash? From what I heard he reshaped the realms from a balanced cycle into a hourglass where all the energy will inevitably end up in his domain. Isn't that kind of an implication that everyone is completely fucked unless the Realms get reshaped again? But I also heard that Nagash was bonked on the head by the elves rather hard and is basically a non-entity for some time until he recovers.
>>
>>93912258
Nagash tried but failed. All he's done is change the Realm of Death to flow inwards. So instead all of the real dense and dangerous magic being on the outside, it is now flowing to the middle part of the realms. Middle part of the realms is where it is stable and people can live relatively normal lives. Further you go out, towards the edge, the worst shit will happen. Stuff will happen that will likely kill you. Of course, several factions are able to survive there. Seraphon can because they're powerful in magic and have technology that can help, but so are OBR's Null Myriad legions, which are extremely resistance to magic, so the two factions are often fighting on the edge of the realms over control of the powerful nodes and nexuses of magic that exist there.

There was a line very early on where a Stormcast says Nagash will ultimately win. That eventually everything will die, Chaos Gods, Sigmar etc and that in the end, even Time itself will die and then and only then, will Nagash be left and at that point he will finally die as well.

All those models from starter boxes are what is known as "easy to build" and are in fact much simpler to construct then models from standalone boxes. Biggest piece of advice for easy to build stuff is to clip the posts down slightly so they fit together tighter, and don't go crazy with the glue as you can always apply more if things aren't super tight, but it's hard to remove fingerprints and smudged details from excess glue spilling everywhere

desu I'm not sure what problem it's solving. Before 4e launch I thought it would be a way to encourage bringing those shitty combat heroes and a downside to some unique heroes, as well as a way to stop spamming.

It made bringing those special heroes even better and made spamming the best warscrolls even easier.

It's lopsided on a faction per faction basis and is confusing. They should just drop it with the next ghb, alongside the drop race as a concept.

Hey anons I played my first spearhead (skaven vs seraphon, I played skaven) and that was a lot of fun. We didn’t really know what we were doing at first so the game took 3 hours but we got the hang of it halfway through. My Clawlord on Gnawbeast completely shredded the Oldblood on Carnosaur with the help of a couple shots from the Warplock Engineer, and the Clawlord lived until my opponent’s round 4 fight phase where a single remaining Kroxigor smashed his head in. But I won the game decisively, so much so that we didn’t bother tallying the points at the end. That 5+ ward save enhancement for the Clawlord is very powerful, the Oldblood lost their duel because of it. Anyway, I like the game it’s very fun.

the rumormonger probably took them for granted after he saw the gnawbeast, which is a mistake that happened with kruleboy cavalry and chaos dwarfs too at the time of the dominion rumours because the leakers had seen the killaboss on warg and the hobgrots and assumed shit must have followed immediately.

NTA but you aren’t so much as building an army of soldiers and leaders that you equip you’re instead building a deck. AoS list building has been turned into an MTG style deck builder and it’s fucking lame. Inb4 you say the retarded other games have imbalanced items that leads to optimal selection, well the exact same thing happens with AoS deck building, rather than items/loadout you have optimal cards to put into your deck/army.
>>
>>93913959
Its no more unbalanced now then its ever been. Listbuilding has always been pick the best units to win, that's the fundamental definition of it. You're comparison is complete drivel. Internal balancing is not a priority in this game.
>>
>>93914052
You not being able to comprehend an argument doesn’t make it drivel. It’s not about competitiveness, it’s about the complete lack of choice and reducing army building to the mechanics of building a deck to play Friday night magic. Corporate dick gobbling retard.

That sounds dumb. Are we sure its a permanent thing and not some temporary measure until later into the edition?
>>
>>93914089
I really hope so but with the direction AoS and 40k are taking I would venture that this is a permanent conscious decision. The best we can hope for is an overhaul in 5th if enough people make a fuss. Hopefully I’m wrong.

i am kind of getting into age of sigmar, i mostly play total warhammer, but lately have the itch to paint minis. Initially I was thinking 40k but no one faction really stands out. I've turned to sigmar but im wondering if theres a way to tell which factions have new models and which ones are outdated? I only ask because in 40k I was interested in Eldar but apparently they have old stinky models that suffer from issues. In AOS some factions just look very old like Seraphon despite the new name. Any factions to avoid?
>>
anyone elses LGS have a mountain of skaventide boxes
>>
>>93914673
Seraphon just got new sculpts last edition that are all phenomenal. Only thing I'd say is good to avoid from their range is saurus guard as it seems like they're one of the few things still due for updates
>>
>>93914673
At this point most factions have a good mix of old and new plastics, with a couple still stuck with a few finecast models (Ogres, a couple of the godmarked chaos armies, CoS I think and maybe one or two others, with Ogres having it the sorst) and a few armies that are 100% new plastic. The only armies I'd really avoid are ones with finecast (Though they can be built without it, except ogres)

Those do look similar enough, the silhouette is pretty much the same, all the bits are there, it's just been given a HD upgrade along with a bit more of a sci-fi thing to link to the Old Ones.
The new face on this one is better, has more of a dynamic pose and personality.

>Warriors share more in common with the plastic oldblood on carno then the warrior design of yesteryear
This happens a bunch with GW, where an older range gets a few or one new model that looks quite better, but acts as a kind of harbinger for what will come down the line years later. The wave of Lizardmen models from 2013 is where we can see the future direction of the model range go.
The (still sold, game legal now) Saurus Oldblood model from 2011 still has the elongated mouth that all Saurus model heads had, but just 2 years later they were using the new (kinda draconic?) Saurus head.

Interesting to note that the Skink design hasn't changed. The Skinks from 2003, 2013, the Underworlds warband from 2021, and 2023 models all share the same head design.

I guess they wanted the Skinks to have the longer snouts and bigger eyes, while the Saurus get the opposite make them look different. New Kroxigors and the Chameleon dudes also have their own visual identities.
>>
>>93915127
It took 40k about 17 years to get Dawn of War.

It took Fantasy about 32 years to get End Times: Vermintide, which was the first ever decent Fantasy game. Total War came out a year after.
>>
>>93915163
It's also slightly hilarious that there's a REALLY good chance that the only reason the decent WHFB vidyas exist is BECAUSE it was destined for the dumpster. Like, setting aside that vermintide literally has "End times" in its fuckin' name, TWWH was something CA had been trying to get the rights to make for ages, and it just so happens that when they finally do, the the IP ends at around the same time the game releases. It definitely wasn't a coincidence, especially if you remember the CEO at the time all this happened basically viewed computers as witchcraft

You do understand warrior cultures of Men oftentimes have a high rate of homosexuality? Maybe not always physical, but emotional romances pop up as well.

the good guys already took a massive L at the beginning of the setting. Dawnbringer crusades are kind of their huge collective offensive campaigns to start new cities. massive mortal armies and civilians venturing into the wilderness to put down some castles and shit like they're starting a new base in Age of Empires or Starcraft. Sometimes they fail and sometimes they manage to gain a foothold.
Places like Ghyran and Aqshy are especially contested.

At the current moment the skaven have made some significant gains.

skinks are one of those models like plaguebearers and stabbas where you really can't improve much over the current model. It's just not worth it for GW to invest time and money and not worth it to the consumer to paint another horde of them when they already have the same dudes for 15 years ago.

How good is the CoS Command Corps, both for AoS and Warcry? I was thinking of getting of more CoS units, but I'm not sure as them as they seem to have lost a lot of functionality from 4th edition and now synergize with Marshall-Envoy who I don't have.

I think the degree gw cares about the game itself as a product is questionable, its at least the 3rd priority. You don't see Conquest shitting out 3 kits, calling it an army, and then moving on and letting it rot for 10 years.

Faction terrain I get, but manifestations are sick. Kitbash your own thematic ones, make it fun, half of them you can cobble together your leftover bits

>>93918786
Endless spells is a great concept. Faction terrain is stupid and should cost points if they really wanna sculpt the damn things.
Really a lot of things in 4th should just not be free, but they are.
>>
>>93918794
They all seem pretty boring. They're all either niche and weak attacks, buffs that hardly apply to my army, or Morbid Conjurations (which I refuse to use).
>>
>>93918887
If you think they suck ass then you have no reason to use them, what’s the problem

>>93917394

They play Necromunda together. I assume the new(er) edition for it and the lack of overlap helps.

>>93917401
>not Warcry answer:
Very neutered compared to 3rd, but not too bad. You can be a funny guy and run a Brazier of Holy Flame to revive d3 models of them every end of turn. 3-9 wounds for “free” can be fun. Mixed results with mine - even the Command Point ability is watered down, but there are 2 good weapon profiles in there.

Look, I don't even really subscribe to all of the "muh DEI" shit. I was just talking shit to piss him off desu. That being said, that's a misunderstanding of ancient culture; homosexuality in the past was mostly based on dom/sub with it being fine for someone of influence to fuck anything as long as they're the dom. That included grooming the young. Ancients didn't really have a concept for homosexuality.

are boltboyz new? I really enjoy their model, but the difference between how they look and how brutes look is so stark different. It feels like they are completely different game
>>
>>93921324
They debuted three years ago in the launch box for the previous edition. And yes, they look wildly different from what the army and most of the game looked like before then.
>>
>>93909128
My guess is they will double down on bull imagery as seen with their warcry band, so less historically inspirited and more bull stuff everywhere alongside maybe more combined race stuff auxiliaries
>>
>>93921324
Boltboyz are from a different species from brutes
>>
On a tangent, I despise boltboyz. Not because of the figures themselves, but for what they're emblematic of.
They should just have been a normal unit of 10 dudes, but GW artificially boats their price with rules as the excuse.
>>
>>93921806
No they shouldn't they're elite fucking snipers and had one of the best shooting profiles in the game.
They aren't a mob of peasants throwing rocks
>>
>>93921850
Nothing prevents them from being elite in the rules, it is just done as an excuse to give you less than a third of figures for full cost.

Warhammer scale is retarded. You’ll read about these epic planet spanning battles and then they will say something stupid like “ over a million souls perished in the fighting “. Then you look at battles like Stalingrad with over 4 million combatants fighting over one city.
>>
>>93921999
Forget Stalingrad, battles of the classical period in our history over small towns involved tens of thousands of soldiers on either side. Canae for example was 85000 Romans vs 50000 Punics, a total of well over a hundred thousand men fighting in a small area. And that was only one such battle.
>>
>>93922027
>classical period
and you're going to trust classical sources about those numbers, aren't you?
>>
>>93922027
Aye, my point is. The GW writers are retards who don’t know what 33m looks like or enough history to properly size their “ epic “ battles in the lore. I miss old GW writing where everyone was a history or archeology grad.
>>
>>93922060
Those are modern estimates that vastly downplay the sizes of armies, not the "Xerxes invaded Greece with a million men" contemporary sources.
Even then, an army needed baggage, camp followers, and was almost like a moving city.

new skaven sculpts are trying to be taken far too seriously for what the skaven are, modellers really dropped the ball on this update
