>>94234317WOOOOOO
>>94234317sunblood aside, I think nurgle minis win herethe two other sauri are not that interesting
Cute
>>94234329The lizards are by no means bad, but yeah these stinkers are absolute bangers.
>>94234339I don't get how they paint the eyes this cleanly.
I still prefer real art, but it's nice that the model photographers are clearly trying their best.
Poor little braid girl
>>94234344Anon, the guys paint for at least 40 hours a week
>>94234339They sure do look sick.
>>94234317no gor rok>The Sunblood Kro-Jax the Aegisbetter this way honestly
>>94234317so how many things does this knock off the rumour engine image compilation?
>>94234415maybe 2: the rake here >>94234339 and the back of one of the two basic lizards >>94234317, but without a clear view of it we can't confirm it
>>94234350OOP warband in card photography huhHonestly, I loved seeing old warbands recurring in art even if they were unavailable but it's annoying to see the same with mini photography
>>94234365These better be a generic nurgle unit, daemons haven't had anything in ages
>>94234448they got a lot of stuff with slaanesh
>>94234456Nurgle daemons...
>>94234317>>94234321Fairly conservative selection. Basically just alt sculpts for normal guys, rather than something crazy
>>94234350Yeh some of the better photos they've been doing, mostly because tgey rarely do close up scenes normally
>>94234366>Kro-JaxSounds like a bald cartoon man with glasses variant

>>94234317>>94234366>Bring out model>It looks exactly like Gor-Rok.>It's even posed like some old artwork of him.>"Nah, it's a different guy"Ok then GW...
>>94234553Slann summon starborn based on memories of the fallen. That's why Carnosaur looks like Kroq-Gar despite not being him
>>94234552That's youngbloods? Pretty impressive for a kid
>>94234583Diorama & Duel is a separate category from Youngbloods. I've no idea how old the painter is, but the diorama isn't commended under the Youngbloods category.
Now that it seems every faction is going to get Endless Spells and Terrain, what are you hoping to get for your army?>DoKTerrain piece representing a statue of Morathi-Khaine that gives a better save to those cloe to it and boosts prayers.>StDNew warscrolls for Endless Spells that don't suck ass
>>94234627>Now that it seems every faction is going to get Endless Spells and Terrainthe flow of spells and terrain has actually mostly dried up I'll be surprised if warclans finally get theirs
>>94234627>SeraphonAny endless spells at all. Our faction terrain is good. Leave it alone.
>>94234656>Our faction terrain is good. Leave it alone.seraphon have 3 pyramid configurations, one slann head and one broken arch which could be used as faction terrain and since they're all being sold right now I'm hoping they all get rules and you can choose the one you prefer and/or substitute the endless spells slot for a second piece of terrain
Looks like we can scratch off that Seraphon rumor engine.
>>94234687Heh, 2 temples would give some serious board control.
>>94234701Saurus Guard refresh is a dream now.
>>94234705slann make dreams into realityso expect them for their 4th tome anyway
>>94234317This is why Seraphon need more lizardmen breeds/variants/races and less fucking dinosaurs. Saurus models are amazing, great minis, but are so fucking basic it blows sometimes. Necron boring tier shit
>>94234553Wasn’t Gor-Rok fucking huge for a saurus >>
>>94234737the problem isn't that saurus themselves are boring, but that they did nothing interesting with them, not even a different weapon or shieldsay for example all 3 had a shield similar to the sunblood, then you have the one charging forward have a robotic prosthetic for his right arm while the one standing by had the jungle swarm slithering on top of his body and head rather than as a separate modelthat would have immediately given them a sense of character and value as their own sculpts
>>94234640What Terrain and Endless Spells would Warclans get?I´m hoping for an endless spell of "The Foot of Gork" thats just a big foot that does MW to anything it passes over.>>94234640>the flow of spells and terrain has actually mostly dried upWut?
>>94234747sunblood are fucking huge for a saurus too
>>94234640>the flow of spells and terrain has actually mostly dried upSpells maybe, there has been a bunch of faction terrain last year
>>94234765>What Terrain and Endless Spells would Warclans get?both are kind of fruits hanging so low it would he insulting if they didn't do them:the scenery has to be a totem pole or a non-rogue idol of gorkamorka with the ability to move and attack if it get charged up on enough waaagh energies the spells have to be various body parts of gork, mork and gorkamorka so if you summon all of them you've essentially summoned an avatar of him>fist of gork>hand of mork (with a pointy index finger)>feet of gorkamorka (a pair of feet, not just one, one stomping, one kicking)>heads of gorkamorka (one krule-looking with an evil glare, one normal-looking screaming in opposite direction, and somewhat fused together, random effect for whether one or the other is going to act, or both or neither)
>>94234542Cards like this make me so sad they’re skimping out on art for them. You can so clearly see the image they want to be showing to you, this smug vampire woman effortlessly tossing a horrified ghoul into magma like Gollum, but all the photoshop filters in the world can’t change that it’s just two static models in the photo
>>94234317>Jaws of Itzl>No connection at all to ItzlHe’s getting cucked by sotek in the warband named after him, sad
>>94234812>Totem Pole of the body of gorkamorka>fist of gork>hand of mork (with a pointy index finger)>feet of gorkamorka (a pair of feet, not just one, one stomping, one kicking)>heads of gorkamorka (one krule-looking with an evil glare, one normal-looking screaming in opposite direction, and somewhat fused together, random effect for whether one or the other is going to act, or both or neither)If you manage to summon them all to the field you can assemble a Gorka-Morka Megazord
>>94234847Intzel is an old one of what exactly?
>>94234874Dickbutt?
>>94234847eh, itzl got the aggradons already>itzl: aggradons>tepok: raptadons>chotec: salamander>huanchi: chamaleons>quetzl: saurus guards (pending)>tzunki: [forgotten by the battletome]>tlazcotl: [forgotten by the battletome]>sotek: bastiladon, I guess
>>94234874beasts
>>94234900Sotek got the new kroxigor, tzunki got that section about the idoneth finding a temple-ship landed on the seafloor and getting attacked by mer-seraphon. Tlazcotl gets nothing becuse he was made up just for the dread saurian
>>94234912why arent they the jaws of quetzl lol, that makes way more sense with how the sunblood looks and their whole fluff sounds
How to make 4e fun?
>>94235124Unfuck listbuilding. The actual game itself is fun but I hate having to conform to arbitrarily decided restrictions.
Should I get FEC this holiday season or wait for Gitmob to drop sometime next year?
>>94234317I thought this was the fleshhound from the old khorne warband, but the feet are completely different and in a different pose. Did they accidentally show us feet pics of an upcoming daemon khorne warband way before it's announced?
>>94235101>Tlazcotl gets nothing becuse he was made up just for the dread saurianThe fuck you talking about?
>>94235166no, that's definitely the flesh hound right leg
>>94234873I wouldn't let them build around the totemit would limit the mobility a bit too much and there would be no way to have the feet look good, so better to have just the heads and limbs as disembodied things roughly floating together
>>94235109I guess they want to keep the name queztl for the saurus guard redesignit would be a bit lame if there were both a "jaws of quetzl" and a "scales of quetzl" unit in the roster
hello anons, need some insight on endless spellsi rly like the idea of endless spells, ive got the forbidden power spells and i want to use them. But im not sure whether it will give me an unfair advantage over my friends i play with whom dont have any endless spells.
>>94235274If they don't have any, it'll give you an advantage, because endless spells are effectively free units you can recycle. But it wouldn't be difficult to houserule it away in a few ways. For example, you could pay some points for them, or only be able to cast them once, and then it should be fine.
>>94234415>>94234439That one's on the lizard with the spears back, you can see it on one of the rules preview images
>>94235331
>>94234321>>94234317Interesting, the 3 man Saurus is basically your generic 3 man Stormcast equivilant. They're nice Saurus but pretty low key.Gardeners are nice updated sculpts but also pretty low key, but if they don't all those bottles I'm wondering now if the old rumor engine is gonna be for nighthaunt
>>94234317So the new warbands will still come with decks, just now it's generic rivals decks. I wonder how viable the old rivals decks will be...
>>94234321I don't real see the gardener bit. Seam more like Fly shepherds
>>94234329The tick eating all the way through his brain and sticking its tongue out of the guy's mouth is cool
>>94235274Endless spells are super easy to kitbash or convert, you’ll have an advantage if you’re using them and your friends aren’t but they should probably just use them themselves, they’re free
>>94235471Garden of Nurgle != botany That said, there's a plaguebearer with a rake and another with a sack of maggots like they're seeds and the leader has the air of a farmer checking his records on crop health, rotation, etc and applying fertiliser where needed
>>94235471it's really just this guy >>94234339
>>94235484The good endless spells aren't easy to convert if you're looking for proper base sizes. A lot of them use the model itself or have weird bases
>>94234627A big fuck off cogfort for CoS and an endless spells for Humans/City Aelfs/Dispossessed. At the very least they didn't squat them at the edition start, so we know they have something planned. My only hope is my pirates last another edition.
>>94235498Horticulous is a gardener and he has gardening sheers as a weapon, so there's precedence
>>94235331it's fair to say we should already be seeing chorfs
>>94236142We're gonna make it... After so long, it's coming home...
>>94235109...because Gor-Rok was the champion of the city of Itzl (Itza) and not the city of Quetzl (Quetza).Itza being the first temple-city that was built at the arrival of the Old Ones on the world of Warhammer Fantasy....in other words it's Itzl because memberberries
>>94236142Chorfband is a nothingburger because we already knew they were coming. The 2nd herald is what we should be looking out for
>>94236951>memberberriesLiterally
>>94236958Can't be anything GSG if it comes so early next year
>>94236142He mentioned three heralds One being the chaos dwarfs, second the daughter of khaine (kerthusa)The third one a mystery with the three candidates being>Order of Azyr> Gitmob > Kurnothi
>>94237163I;m gonna assume Kurnothi leak was a mistake and he ment a Kurnoth hunter hero.Order of Azyr doesn't relay make sens between how much witch hunters we already have and the fact rumours point to Dispossesed.Gitmob seams most likely based on the Rumour Engines
>>94237163herald of khorne for a khorne demons band?
>>94234321Another animal to the comparison
>>94237323nurgle also uses the crow and the toad
>>94237440I guess i should have specified "bugs" rather than animals.People pointed out the similarity in the theaming of both armies. They seam to be a "dark mirror" sort of thing where Sylvaneth gets pretty bugs and Nurgle gets gross bugs
>>94237192Yeah, it was in reference to Dawnbringers Fun part is that Dawnbringers hype shorts on warcom mentioned actual Kurnothi, so people were probably misled
>>94237694Centaurs were the only good part anyway
>>94237694lets be real, the warcry band should have been kurnothi
>>94234737What other types of lizard guys could they get at this point
>>94238127That's your opinion? I love the little mohawk guys
If using the correctly sized base isn't possible, is it more agreeable to go for a size smaller, or a size larger? Specifically in regards to 25mm or 32mm in place of 28.5mm.
>>94238286larger bases are generally safer because the best advantage you might get out of a different base is having a smaller footprint for what concerns the amount of models you can get in contact with the enemy.the only times where a larger base is a bonus is when the model works a lot by providing auras that buff or debuff surrounding units.
>>94238305Thanks. I think that I'll keep my metal globadiers on their 32s, then.
>>94238230>That's your opinion?No, it's a fact
>>94238464still don't get why they made another flies cavalry instead of snail riders
>>94238491Paririty with Slaanesh and Khorne who both have a demon and mortal version of their signature cavalry
Sex with lamia elf lady monster girl while a dawi eggs you on in the background.
>>94238558but those were mistakes too
>>94237192>the fact rumours point to Dispossesed.might i ask what Dispossessed rumor there are?also anyone else got hit with a 13 minute captcha?
>>94238578Well what should be the 2nd Khorne/Slaanehs mount then?
>>94238585Someone rumoured the 4e CoS releas basically fuses Iornweld and Dispossesed into a menlet focused tech branch.
>>94238586scorpionwheel for khornecobraseeker for slaaneshspawnfish for tzeentch
>>94238601Dispossessed are getting a female cogsmith in the cogfort and that's it
>>94238203Turtles for sure
>>94237694There’s got to be something fucked that went on with that dawnbringer stuff. The warcom shorts are about kurnothi aelves, the white dwarf tie-in is sort of about kurnothi aelves, and the dawnbringer book has Belthanos’ wild hunt be kurnoth hunters and kurnothi aelves (who’re described in detail like tabletop units).Then Belthanos’ battle box for dawnbringers has him with one unit of kurnoth hunters and a unit of dragonfly riders, which arent mentioned at all in the book. It’s the only unit in any of those AoRs/RoRs/battle forces that doesn’t get talked about in the actual book itself
Played a 5000pt game of my Soulblight vs Sylvaneth, bringing more or less all I have.I had a fun time but lost pretty handily as "all I have" is mostly a LOT of heroes plus 40 grave guard, 40 wolves and 10 blood knights.
>>94238921You do know GW often talks about stuff to put it in a box to play with later
>>94238203>pachycephalosaurus>carnotaurosaurus>tricerosaurus>dilophoskink>skinko volans>skinxolotl>brontogor>ankylogor>stegogor>turtle lizards>snakemen
>>94236951That feels like kind of a stretch, it’d be weird to give a nonsense name as a reference that’s like two layers removed from the model itself. Though it did make me remember that Kroak’s personal temple-ship, and the largest of the Seraphon fleets, is just Itza and they don’t particuarly hide it which is nice
>>94237192Nah the heralds thing came out way after the long hunt book was released. The tease for belthanos was saying that the kurnothi were getting something, but that fans of them might be dissapointed
>>94238949They do, but not in this way. It’d be like if the Ionus book for dawnbringers was exactly the same but then the battlebox had a stardrake hero in it instead and they just didn’t give Ionus a model
>>94238976
>>94239153Tbh if the refresh wave is anything to go by they seem decently willing to to more thematic sub-breeds, if only to differentiate skink/saurus/krox models in ways that little bits of armor alone can't. The chotec-blessed 'sun' crested skinks and sotek's croco-krox are pretty decent showings of that, but the actual tome itself for 3e goes out of its way to talk about how blessed spawnings for all the different old ones have their own aesthetic quirks, like proto-feaths on tepok blessed priests or almost triceratops-y wide + boney head crests on quetzl's favored saurus
Various rules resources say I'm supposed to use a 32mm base for chaos sorcerer lords, but that recent LE commemorative dude comes with a 40mm base. Which one is the right one? James isn't planning on changing the size and I'm safe to put it on a 32mm, right?
>>94239838Just look at what is officially ran as i.e. if Gdubs says somewhere its a Chaos Lord, then run it as such including the standard base. Just make sure you actually reference the actual standard Chaos Lord (pic, not just text)
>>94238976Just give us an armoured Sauropod damnit
>>94240379too cool for gw, sorry.
>>94239838It's always okay to run a model with the base it came with.
>>94234317>sunblood (plastic)I'll take it. Good model. Spearman is excellent just because he looks like a guard and I like those kinds of poses. Club guy and swarm are whatever but that's fine.
Anybody got Dawnbringer book 6 scan to share?
>>94240734Yeah sure. Check d/9sxmQ0 on gofile. Have something to read in the absence of new battletome scans.
>>94238976>>turtle lizards
He's just a little guy.
>>94240860Ta. Much love
So a few questions on Death stuff:So I finished soul wars, do they ever explain why Nagash is suffering from Alzheimers? Is it just because he's splitting himself all over for his god related shit?Do the Ossiarch's have personality? They seem like a relatively neutral party that basixally just runs a protection racket paid for in bones. Do the rank and file and heroes actually talk or interact with regular people?Are the Mortarchs actively doing snything or just out there to job? I heard Arkhan's dead again which sucks.And finally what's everyone's least favorite of the death quartet and why.
>>94241199>Do the Ossiarch's have personality?It's not mentioned much but yes they all have individual personalities that are influenced by the souls used to make them. If you're into the AoS fiction I would strongly recommend reading The Vulture Lord since it gives you up close detail on actual Ossiarch society outside of just taking bones.
>>94241199>And finally what's everyone's least favorite of the death quartet and why.vampiresthey suck zombie neckromancers independence when?
>>94241307Vampires can keep the zombiesThey need a Promethian themed army in death.
>>94241199>Do the Ossiarch's have personality?Yes, they're sentient brings.Some are just normal people upgraded, others are new constructs. Depends how many souls are a part of them (Katakros is Katakros, but the average Mortek isn't anyone specific who contributed to his soul).Note that they're stil hand crafted, so therevarevsome limitations as to wgat personality they can have. Assuming Soulmason knows wtf he's doing.
>>94241307>vampires>they suckI see what you did there
>>94241437Nuh uh, see that's a myth. Vampires scrape with their fangs and lick up the blood.
>>94238921>white dwarf tie-in is sort of about kurnothi aelvesAnyone have the scans of all the Dawnbringers WD segments?
>>94241199>Are the Mortarchs actively doing snything or just out there to job?Depends which ones. Manfred and Nef never did anything
>>94241199It's implied Nagash lost himself with the incorporation of all the other death gods, but in AoS I think it's more a consequence of his defeats. Nagash the Undying, Soul Wars, etc all present different versions of him from before his defeats - the benevolent emperor, the hero god companion of Sigmar. Sigmar himself comments on how much of him is lost in Soul Wars conclusion. Mortarchs have personalities and can be divergent from Nagash's aims entirely when he's weak. Mannfred was a hero of order prior to his return; essentially being everything he wanted to be in WHF. If you read Soul Wars you'd know, only Arkhan is different but even he isn't an automaton. Dawnbringers details Ushorans triumphs and elaborates on the chaotic independence of Neferata and Katakros in Nagash's absence but I'm guessing all the Death ascendancy hype is about his return. Nagash can just summon the Mortarchs back to life? Re-read Soul Wars mate.
>>94241199>And finally what's everyone's least favorite of the death quartet and whySoulblight is probably the most boring

It's like gacha but the jaypegs are 3DPD and won't say they love you.https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/fbxyifn8/warhammer-heroes-series-5-stormcast-eternals-take-over/
>>94242082>>94242083Damn, a whole second apart
>>94242082surprised they selling it in the US and Europe first before Japan or China since those are the markets that really like Blind Box Gatcha stuffguess we could expect these guys to become a start set warband in five years like those Space Marine heroes one did
>>94242102Wait this isn't a Japan only thing?
>>94242082>>94242083so what do we think about this diverse cast of heroes?
>>94242107>They’ll be available to buy from selected retailers in Europe and the US from tomorrow and will come to Australia and New Zealand, China, and Japan later in the year.It might just be an infrastructure thing it's not like US or EU/UK Warband players wouldn't want to play these guys
>>94242116Nice to have some variant sculpts for the units, I suppose. Kinda wish they did that for fatcast, though. The cornrow hair is kind of a neat thing, it's difficult to get that looking right with plastic injection moulds.
>>94242116I think the reason series 5 is stormcast and not space marines is because someone threw a massive fucking hissyfit in a room full of white people about not having female sculpts, so sigmarines was a concession, and that led to a furher convo of "but they're all going to be Wakandan stormcasts, right? Why not? Are you racist?".
>>94242180>but they're all going to be Wakandan stormcasts, right? Why not? Are you racist?".shouldn't the obvious response be "no but the main demographic buying these blind boxes i.e. far east Asian markets are 100% racist against black people"
>>94242180you sound absolutely mind broken, take some time off the internet buddy
>>94242200Why? Are you actually unironically racist or something?
>>94242253>hobbylet tourist
>>94242180>>94242253Me when I’m schizophrenic at 9 in the morning
>>94242200This is the guy going on GW's facebook and leaving comments about how proud he is of GW under releases like this>Verification not required.
How do you justify whining so much about every release while continuing to support GW and playing their games?
>>94242337Duscord spamers aren't the ones buying stuff. That's why GW doesn't take their opinions into consideration when planing what products to sell
ayyy lmaoGW really knows how to milk their paypiggies don't they. Shame the rest of us have to play by their rules as well.
>>94242116>THIS USED TO BE A NICE REALM
>>94242388This is unlike every other blindbox I've seen, for anything. Actual scum. It'd be fine if the sprues had options ig but we've only seen one build
>>94242404They have helmet options that's all iirc
>>94242404>This is unlike every other blindbox I've seen, for anything.You haven't seen many blind boxes
>>94242116what do they have against hair? do they know stormcasts aren't actually space marines
>>94242316Age of Nigmar was right there to be used and you blew it.
>>94242466Name one like that
>>94242116How does this get greenlit by someone interested in sales, absolutely astounding.Bravo
>>94242116>generic stormcast sculpts, not even hero models >one extra guy you can’t use in a squad because squad sizes are fixed!Boring
>>94242388>There is no guarantee you will get all seven miniatures if you buy a full unit of eight.>Put your faith in Sigmarlmao
>>94242520Al the funko shit tends to be rigged to never get you a full set in a box.
>>94242082At least them having Warcry rules might be kind of interesting, they’re so easy to convert or proxy it’s basically a meaningless product for that purpose
>>94242388GW trying to be scummy as Gacha generally is I see
>>94242116I genuinely cannot tell if these are any different from the ones you can get out of the normal units
>>94242672Halberd guy is pretty cool, and I can see some people wanting the female head with the dreadlocks. Otherwise I guess it's for the hordes of dedicated stormcast fans who are frothing at the mouth for alternate poses.
New warband plaguebearers are basically the same design wise as the old ones, so thta one guy who wanted a major change can go fuck himself
I'll miss art
>>94242388holy shit look what I got from my eight blind boxes gacha pull
>>94243076EXPLODE
>>94243076Average influancer luck
Why can’t dok have a foot sorcerer or a dragon bimbo riding an elf when it’s in the cities of Sigmar range? 40k was more friendly to generic shared units between factions.
>>94243265Because those were the fantasy days
>>94243265Because GW removed the cross faction cities from the game. DoK wasn't the only one
AoS rules for the Skryre UW team when?
>>94243431Maybe never, we'll have to see how GW treats this stuff now
>>94243724Reminds me of someone

>>94243724Arch Warhammer
Fuck rats across allegiances
>>94244109but kritza loves rats
>>94243860Yes, you see it in the mirror every morning
Will GW try to throw Vashtor into AoS after he failed to find place in 40k?
>>94244230Slaanesh is licking his ear just like my Japanese comics!
>>94244230>after he failed to find place in 40k????
>>94244230no
>>94244230>after he failed to find place in 40k?Says who?
>>94244230I can see it happening, GW would get off on cucking the last three living Chaos Dwarf players mumbling about Hashut.

>>94244230he will probably be replaced by Hashut in AoS
>>94244230Isn't he tangentially a thing in AoS due to the Forge of Souls and Soul Grinders being there? Doesn't that mean it was Vash whom Syll was working for for a bit?
>>94244383aos is set in london.
>>94242116who asked for this?
>>94244503that doesn't seem right, it has women with uncovered hair
>>94244498Yeh, if he's actually in charge of all the ulgy engines then he sort of is in AoS, just not in person

>>94244648are these your tastes?

Has GW featured a Soul Grinder in any army phots made this decade or are they righfully ashamed of it?
I don't know what melee weapons I want to model my Kurnoth with. It's not a matter of rules. I like the way they hold the scythe but the blade looks silly to me. I'm considering replacing it with a Tree Revenant sword and making them into spears but then the Kurnoth would be holding the spears the wrong way. Guh!
>>94244856Scyths are definietly a more flavourful weapon
>>94244273>Dark Mechanicum 40k plans aborted
>>94244826there's art of the the soulgrinder in the soulforged warpack detachment for CSM
>>94244856>but then the Kurnoth would be holding the spears the wrong way. Guh!have you considered gluing the head facing the other way?

>>94242116these guys would have been cool in 1999, thanks Obama.
>>94244109Pan-alliance pest control, I like it. Would definitely read a book about a dwarf, vampire and ork stuck together by circumstance and forced to cooperate in slaughtering a horde of rats
>>94244550Probably people who don't miss the good old days of the Tom kirby era, when 40k was at one step of being the setting in which all blacks came from sector "Unga Bunga" , all asians from sector "Cho'p Su Ey" ( ruled by the planet governor Bruce jackie Khan liu, from planet Kunfu Pan'dah), women having their own imperial guard regiment from sector "Amazonia" ruled by the world of "Vulvath prime Period" and everybody else amongst the 99 cuadrillion people being white, british, male and bald.
>>94244784>Most people don't care if it's just something organicVegetable people? You mean like orcs?

>>94244550Everyone? This is the fifth set
Please please play Age of Sigmar!!!
>>94245536Why was Realms of Ruin such a huge failure?
>>94245747>made for console >small roster of factions>micromanagement gameplay
>>94245747Dead genre more than anything
>>94245872>Dead genreno such thing.
>>94245747Dead genre, small roster, didn't have any of the meme appeal factions. Total war secondaries love rats and lizards
>>94245901Well, not including the derivatives that have overtaken it - mobas. Number of releases, number of releases that aren't regurgitated existing games, etc. They've stated the game bombed so hard they won't experiment outside the themepark games that usually pull a profit for them.
>>94245747I've browsed some reviews and there are a few throughlines between them. They talk about mismarketing, like how they went into it expecting DoW2 and were thrown off when it wasn't quite like that. That seems to have been one of the most common impressions. Others made some stretched comparisons to Total War, which is understandable, but they're not quite in the same genre.Another takeaway is that the push for the game seemed very frontloaded. The game launched, failed to immediately secure a sizable player base, and was then given a few QoL updates before being dropped. There was a DLC pack as well, but I assume that that was already finished before release. In part it seems the studio's own circumstances were at play here. Frontier had been trying to diversify its range for years and never really succeeded at it. RoR appears to have been something of a failed hail Mary that forced them to reconsider their attempts at branching into new genres and instead return to what had worked in the past. Of course it couldn't have helped that they were trying to branch into a genre that tends to not be very lucrative these days.Also, fuck Denuvo.
Was the OG design of the fiend better or worse than what we got?
>>94246022Tempest rising, stormgate, age of mythology and ratten reich are all coming out. There are no dead genres only bad games.
>>94246194>age of mythologyremake with ai slop. Very encouraging.
>>94245747Niche genre, bland premise and marketing. Could easily see it will be flop and be abandoned like Stormground from miles away. It was more like a ad to lure newbs to buy Stormcast™ Eternals© Citadel® miniatures. Which ofc didnt help it because lets be real here they are not Space Marines despite GW trying so god damn hard
>>94246240>>94246170I saw a lot of complaints, besides gameplay, that it was doing very little to explain itself lore wise so the peeps coming from 40k and FB were very confused. I especially felt this myself when I played the 3 mission demo.
>>94246240>Niche genre, bland premise>It was more like a addidn't hurt space marine 2
>>94246240They also have never sold well ever no matter how many years or how much they try.Dominion can still be found at 50% off *three* years on and even Skaventide seemed to bomb considering it can be found for 45% off just from its release in June.The Stormcast Eternals™ starter sets also collect dust and rountinely hit prices that mean stores are giving them away at a loss just to get the shelf space back.
Could you go back to r/games if you don't want to talk about /tg/ stuff?I'd rather hear about you sniffing glue, that at least is slightly related
>>94246280Space marines have brand awareness built in. The fact they suck doesn't get in the way of their success
>>94246276That might be the case. It might have been good to have something like a mini-wiki in the game. But really I'd recommend that to almost any RTS. It was a cool feature back in Age of Mythology. Even if it told me nothing useful, I would actually take breaks to read the text entries in there instead of just blowing through the campaign.
>>94246280Yes because they are Space Marines
>>94246329yawn, vanguard palladors are sold out us nationwide, longstrikes are almost sold out.
>>94246280Is space marine 2 an rts?
>>94246177This is better. The actual model barely, if at all, conveys that it's a mutated tribesman.
>>94246194I’ve literally never heard of any of these and I’m a gaymer. I bet these compete with fighting games in terms of player populations.
>>94246341ngl I was very put off by my local store's build/paint session. I could smell those fumes as soon as I walked in, almost no ventilation in there and no one seemed bothered Must be easier to sell unnecessary products to retards
Does anyone have the pdf for the Stormcast faction pack? Not the tome, the free pdf that was still up a few days ago.

>Von Nguyen is off to do a 40k Tau bookUhoh.
>>94242116I expect if they sell at all you will be seeing the common ones on ebay for dirt cheap and the rare ones mega expensive. I really hope they DON'T do this with the armies I like to play and paint.
>>94247852why? low impulse control?
>>94234321Nice sculpts, but am I the only one who noticed bottom left has a RAGING CLUE?
>>94248382Damn you, now I've got a raging clue too!
>>94248483>I was so infested I got my Nurgoo all over Schlop.
>>94247397What annoys me about these models is that the equipment and armour is obviously standardised and mass produced but at the same time, the poses, genders, and variety of body shapes and sizes make them look like irregular militia type troopsWhat are they meant to be? they look like retards in expensive costumes
>>94248651WRACKED WITH CLUES.>>94243724Seriously, there's no way this wasn't intentional. AIN'T NO FUCKIN' WAY, BOY.
>>94242116Hard pass, but I'm not the target demographic.

anyone have any examples of like, souls fused to armor or something? like a screaming soul trying to break out of something it's fused to, how some 40k chaos vehicles have
>>94249146There's a 40k character named Lucius The Eternal whose armor is like that and probably plenty of art examples of it.

>>94241750Well I know Nagash can bring people back but I' just going off of what some anon mentioned in a thread about Arkhan being thrown into a black hole by a gjost elf or some shit. And Soul Wars was nice but the Nagash aspects in it were pretty minimal, more of a good pov of rank and file undead. But Nagash having multiple parts from the other gods explains quite a bit why he's all over the place.
>>94248834Could do those cool hexagonal cliffs from Iceland in a dark metallic

Are battletome scans a thing of the past? I thought things would be different when the core book got completely scanned within days of release.
>>94250525People don't have the SCE book yet. I ordered the novels preordering the same day and they've just shipped. We got Skaven scans ages ago.
>>94250525We had the core ages ago and i'm not sure is SCE is even out yet.Skavenfags were lazy
>>94250561>We got Skaven scans ages ago.No we didn't. There are photo compilations of the rules, but nobody actually scanned the thing.
>>94250577I love the irl irony of Skaven players being unwilling to share, fucking over other Skaven players in the proces
>>94250577>photo compilation If you're being that pissy then buy it yourself
>>94250487It's a reference to an idiom in certain languages (ie, French), where "it smells like pine" implies a doomed endeavour as coffins tended to be made with pine planks.
>>94233817Soon
>>94251368No
Oh right, does anyone have an epub of the new anthology? I'm interested in what Tchaikovsky wrote for it, but not so much that I'd pay full price for an anthology that's mostly old short stories I already read.
>>94241199Aesthetically FEC is probably my least favorite, don't really care for cannibals, but Ushoran & the Morbhegs look cool. If it weren't for deathrattle & direwolves I would say soulblight.Lore wise vampires are so fucking vanilla. NH isn't necessarily a new concept but Nagash's dickery for each unit is hilarious.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ4UQqbzEz4>>94250215It's kind of a deep cut, to the point where it's one of those jokes I struggle to explain, yet understood *immediately* when I first saw it. Anyway, there's this series of books called the Hardy Boys that arose from the time between the world wars. Ostensibly, the books are mystery novels for young adults, and while I don't know if anyone has ever actually read one, they were absolutely ubiquitous in school libraries from the 70s into the early 00s; if you were a kid growing up in those decades there's a sort of familiarity to those neglected volumes, pages turned dark yellow by the inexorable, merciless passage of time.Anyway, that should be adequate for context, let's go back to October of 2006. The leaves were starting to change, that cozy fall feeling was settling in, Twilight Princess was barely a month away from release, and the dominion of pumpkin spice was still in it's infancy. Around this time, an episode of South Park called "The Mystery of the Urinal Deuce" debuted on Comedy Central, wherein an unknown prankster takes a shit in one of the school urinals, and, in the kind of overreaction typical of schools of that day, the administration enlists the services of the Hardly Boys, two freelance gumshoes (and obvious parodies of the aforementioned Hardy Boys) to find the culprit. The Hardly Boys had an investigative process rife with homoerotic, borderline incestuous subtext, and more importantly... they had perpetually clinched teeth, which is fucking hilarious to anyone familiar with those books, because one unifying experience shared by all of us, an experience that transcends cultural, spiritual, and racial boundaries is this: we all, at some point, saw one of those books in the school library, looked at the cover art, and thought to ourselves "why the fuck do their faces look like that?"That's the joke, and whatever absolute legend sculpted that plaguebearer knew exactly what they were doing.
Are mono Darkoath lists viable? Wouldn't mind running a block of Chaos Warriors with a cheap hero ig but mostly Darkoath
Is there a reason all the new Stormcast models are black people and/or bald lesbians? Who is this for? Who gets excited about these models?

>>94242116These are just boring. If you're gonna do this kind of blind box shit, you have to go all-out and include special details like sculpted magic or unique equipment.
>>94253159Yeah like the last four that were just bland space marines
>>94253270Before I respond, I need to ask: Are you going to engage in good faith, or are you going to dismiss any details that I point out as "looking the same"?
>>94253447The previous set included these
>>94247397This unit has unironically caused way more seething than female custodes. >>94248668Its called not having a monopose. Classic Toy Soldiers were just the same.
Has anyone purchased Anvils of the Heldenhammer: The Ancients? I added Godsbane when it came out, but that put me off Lucas's books. Is it any good or is it trash?
>>94253530Okay. I don't like those. I liked the Death Guard ones.
>>94253530White, black, I don't care. They are all Imperial scum that must be put down lest they blow up the galaxy with their retarded antics. t. Xenos Armies enjoyer
Oi lads here's the new book by Dale Lucas. I bit the bullet and figured if you guys can vouch for him, I'll give one last try.files.catbox.moe/6dp5t5.epub

>>94254321>slowlyIf you dislike it then you should've bailed three years ago retard
Why do you guys bother to post in a general for a game that’s designed to onboard people into 40k? Just skip the middle step and play 40k already. Rules wise it isn’t that far from AoS and the only thing you have to get used to is the less trannified lore.
>lorego back /v/irgin
>>94254820But AoS is a better game than 40k
You can actually tie the direct moment warhammer became shit once fags who say 'lore' instead of 'fluff' took over
>>94254820AoS is superior to 40gay in ever possible respect.
New thread>>94254943>>94254943>>94254943
>>94254820Only digestible part of 40k lore and fluff is the absolute surface stuff. Any deeper and it becomes utterly garbage, with BL slop being at the very bottom. No wonder 40kg is so fucking trash if it's filled with tasteless lorefags and secondaries like yourself
>>94249146>>94249518See if you can find some Spirit Hosts and greenstuff their faces onto the armor. If you need a lot of them buy some oyumaru and make casts of them.
