How do you feel about manifestations in 4th so far? Which ones do you use?
>>
>>94336589
>TQ
My group made a gentlemen’s agreement not to use manifestations. So none are used.
>>
>>94336603
Probably a wise decision. I don't much like manifestations, but I am toying with the idea of converting up some gigantic monster for my Skaven and running it as a Krondspine.
>>
>>94336589
Don’t own any so don’t use any. Kinda feels bad though when you have to fight them though.
>>
>>94336589
I made my army for my Prismatic Palisade, and will continue to keep using it until GW removes it. It's gonna suck the day the Glymm Company becomes CoS with a random crystal motif stuck in Shyish. Then maybe I'll play Trench Crusade.

Removing ghost and ghoul units from vampires was a mistake and makes SBGL feel so much more diluted in comparison to their vampire counts ancestors.
>>
>>94337150
Didn't get the hydrophobic reforging mutation
>>
>>94337183
How is condensing something making it diluted?
>>
>>94337183
Agreed. Same with chaos coalition mechanics.
>>
>>94337189
Because spookiness is cumulative, you get diminishing returns for using the same monster over and over, especially when the monster is basically humanform and using human equipment. Vampires look more vampiric when surrounded by ghosts and ghouls
>>
>>94337183
They just need to update the zombies and skeletons, maybe add more werewolfy themed stuff. And a frankenstein. Ghouls and Ghosts I think on their own are doing great (minus ghouls needing an extra unit or two)
>>
>>94337183
by comparison, ghosts and ghouls were misbegotten as fuck back then when they were under the cringe rulership of vampires while now they're both awesome

we can conclude without a doubt that vampires are the problem and that zombies should flee the faction as soon as possible, although skeletons, who deserved it the most, seem cursed to remain under vampire leadership, so lame for eternity
>inb4 ossiarchs
they're not the same as normal wights, I'm happy for them and I wish them all the best but wights deserved better
>>
>>94337237
>They just need to update the zombies and skeletons
they already updated the zombies and skeletons last time and everything else they got was werewolfy

it just doesn't look good
>>
>>94337212
Ghouls as they were were hardly different from zombies.
>>
>>94337189
As >>94337212 we gone from vampire counts being using all kinds of undead monsters to just skeletons and zombies.
>>94337237
>They just need to update the zombies and skeletons
If you mean shit like grave guard and corpse cart then yeah I agree
>maybe add more werewolfy themed stuff
Just make skin wolves
>Ghouls and Ghosts I think on their own are doing great (minus ghouls needing an extra unit or two)
Are they really though? Nighthaunts look great individually but they blend together when next to each other.
Ghouls are fine but I think they should give crypt ghouls back to SBGL now that they have crypt guard and crypt horrors should be usable as well.
>>94337247
Because they are units in a army of undead not the entire army
>>
>>94337309
Skin wolves would be great, or just double down on the wolf vampires if they need to keep the "soulblight curse" or whatever. But skin wolves are always a nice alternative.

Crypt ghouls going back would be fine, or if they just updated them to fit the new FEC looks that'd be cool. Nighthaunt I get to an extent but that's the curse of being all bedsheet ghosts, I'm fine with them being more cohesive.
>>
>>94337309
>and corpse cart
What's wrong with the corpse cart now?
>>
>>94337261
Werewolfy but not directly werewolf! I feel like theycould figure something out. We've got enough vampires as is and I imagine the skeleton update is on the way, I think some Necromancer and zombie / flesh golem love would be nice.
>>
>>94337342
He mentioned a update for zombies and it's the only old zombie kit so yeah
>>
>>94337359

It’s crazy how even the fans say they don’t want the bloat, and people approve of the release variety compared to 40k but GW insists on trying to force Space Marines 2.0.
>>
>>94337449
I'm mostly playing devils advocate but if I had to pinpoint one thing: the necromancer in the back just kinda stands out, he's good but he's classic snow white witch looking comparatively to some of the more elaborate designs we see nowadays. Which is fine but I imagine they could Sigmar the model up a bit, more bones, zombie stuff, pulpier gore and bodies, give the Necromancer that funny Skin kemmler hat.

What is the cheapest army for poor people? If I would buy two of the christmas battleforce boxes, let's say the ironjaws orcs, could I play?

Right, you'll definitely need a tournament legal 2k army then.

Barely. Only if they keep doing what they did for Gorgers. Otherwise we get schizophrenic base-sized mix-match units of random models that could’ve each been expanded into their own unit.

>>
>>94337800
Depends which one. Kruleboyz one is basically just a Beastboss on foot, so a hero not infantry
>>
>>94337814
That’s what I mean. Gorgers were perfectly done. New sculpt for an old unit that translates perfectly into a cohesive unit for the main game. That unit there could have been 4 different units. 10 man dog pack, 5 man big mortek, 3/5/6 man unit of bat thingies, and the centaur hero.
>>
>>94337845
Fair, not like they still can't but also GW fucking pulling some shit to get it to sell more by giving them deepstrike feels a bit on the nose.
>>

Gorgers have literally always been a deepstrike/ambush unit.

>>
>>94336603
Kinda gay. Of course, I only use my army's specific manifestations and never the generic ones.
>>
>>94337097
I don't get your remark.
Empower nadrite weapons is an excellent generic spell- every unit (non hero) besides the catapault wants to be in melee and this makes you crit more.
>>
>>94338147
It's good but I wanna zap people too! I guess in retrospect it makes sense since Ossiarch is primarily melee that gets extra crit bonuses.
>>
>>94337795
Hero sprues are cheap to make, probably go on a machine with a bunch of other hero sprues (so a great economy of scale for their printing process) and sell for 40+ bucks. The accounting department loves pity heroes
>>
>>94338157
The OBR lore, and manifestation lore, are probably one of the best designed in the game.
> unlimited spell is a nice buff
> powerful debuff on a 7 to cast
> horde breaker damage spell
> excellent debuff manifestation that does some shooting
> fighty endless spell that can come back when it dies so you don't waste another cast trying to get it
> utility spell to debuff infantry- not great but easy to cast (honestly this is their worst spell)
The only reason to look outside of their own stuff is if you are some Nagash playing special character faggot
>>
>>94338181
Tbf I did my first game ever with a horrible OBR and Nagash list so ye. I am indeed a retarded faggot using them wrong.

Apparently using them very fucking wrong that guy completely mistranslated how to use the horde breaker. He said it should only hit 1 guy in the unit not the whole thing, what the fuck.

Also good to know the endless are good, they were on the list of things to actually get a competent army and fill my list out (and they look fun to paint) Thanks for indirectly helping me anon :D
>>
>>94338140
Must be nice to have some. We’d probably relax the limit if every army did have them, but here we are. It’s not like I get to play too often, anyway. It’s really just me, a friend, and his brother.

I could deal with a ruination shooting unit, just because they exist in the lore already.

>Stormcast players are the only non-entitled posterguys
Literally the only thing I want for Stormcast is to have more of the knight-level heroes be available as 0-1 in a Lord's regiment.

They have a lot of cool guys like the knight judicator who I would love to take if it didn't mean +1 drop.
>>
>>94338510
It's really insane they spent half of 3e trying to finally find ways to make foot heroes and other minor heroes useful for the first time ever, sort of succeeded eventually, then decided they'd utterly fucking decimate them with 4e.

They clearly knew that the way to do it with the new dumbass regiment system was to do the "0-1 lord of storm" thing, but then only let it apply to like a single model per faction for no discernable reason, often only doing it for models you'd be happy to take leading a regiment anyway. It should be you can add the heroes as extra units to a regiment anyway, lord + X units then 0-1 extra footsloggers
>>
>>94338939
I still think foot heroes should be able to join units and benefit from having a bunch of meat shields to hide behind unless targeted by another hero in melee or sniped by specialists from range.

The other army does not have faction-specific ones, and I'm not in the mood to buy the generics anytime soon.

>I'll have a good tome, surely! It may even release before 5th edition!
>>
>>94338995
I think joining units is kind of an archaic mechanic that wouldn't fit with the direction of modern aos, but look out sir type stuff and shrugging wounds to nearby chaff is always nice. It's why they gave that mechanic to a random assortment of heroes in 3e/4e

Bonereapers manifestations are great, but whatever fucking list you're gonna build is gonna need actual units from what I am basing if you're the guy constantly posting.

Are sigmar games a lot easier to play and manage due to less miniature counts and combat is simplified? are there less aggressive autists in general for casual games?

I got my gf a skaven pack and while shopping and browsing the catalog I REALLY got into seraphon and their amazing sculpts, it makes me want to start an infantry/cavalry army because they're so fucking big and I initially didn't want one because even custodes felt small to me.

AoS 4th (especially Spearhead) can be learned fairly well in about an hour. Spearhead less time, honestly. I was brand new to AoS and learned Spearhead to a decent level in a single game.

As for the players, it's a Dadhammer game. I play with actual dads who are 10-20 years my senior. Very casual, very pleasant people.

Be sure to get a carnosaur/troglodon — it's a really cool and fun kit.
>>
>>94339896
compared to what?

compared to like 40k, horus heresy, and old world? SIGNIFICANTLY easier.

compared to one page rules? more complicated.

its all going to depend on what you are comparing it to, but i found, especially for a warhammer game, age of sigmar is VERY manageable in terms of complexity and difficulty. the armies are smaller than almost any of the other large scale wargames, there arent a ton of univeral rules you need to cross reference across 100 pages, movement, coherency, and the core rules of the game are quite concise and easy to play, hits and damage are easy to track unlike 40k with its comparative SvT values and slow rolling because of no spillover damage.

seraphon are also in a great spot for a beginner, they just underwent a massive re-design that brought their army back to the fundamentals of warhammer gameplay and simplified their mechanics significantly, so it is now a very meat and potatoes classic warhammer army in terms of gameplay, whereas an edition or two ago it was very esoteric and complicated. their model range is also largely new plastic, and what few old kits they have are also potentially going to be getting a refresh in the next year or two. their core infantry and cavalry, mostly raptadon hunters/chargers, aggradon lancers, kroxigor, and saurus warriors, are all good on the table and any one of them can be leaned into if you prefer them or can be taken in small doses for more variety. their larger monsters are decent but a bit overcosted on points, while the smaller utility heroes and skinks are cheap but maybe a bit underpowered at the moment. slaan and/or kroak are staples. slaan is more supporty, kroak is more offensive.

in terms of army size, aos armies are, in general, about half the size of a 40k army. things which are usually 5-7 points in 40k would be 10-15 pts in aos. characters are on average 100-180pts for 5-6 wound leader types, and so on.

Are they just not doing news this week?
>>
>>94341312
They basically took the rest of the year off after dropping the edition launch reinforcements. This weekend is an actual nothing week in terms of releases, too. I wonder what their reasoning behind the strategy of doing a drought after launching an edition is. Feels like it should be the opposite. You launched a big new product, everyone’s excited, it’s a new fiscal year, why not start it strong and continue? Or maybe they bank on riding that initial excitement into the next quarter even though it peters out pretty quickly? I really don’t know.

Lord commander should have been a generic unit.
Sigmar is way too disorganised with his troops to ever think about fleshing out all the minor leaders.
Did you know there was a town Sigmar liked and just let them be a new Stormhost with all their old iconography and culture unchanged?
Did you know there is a Ghyran stormhost derived from dead farmers that helps with harvests whenever they don't have to actively protect the people?
Did you know some guy jsut re-started Sigmarite Brotherhood 2.0. out of respect for the fully dead Sigmarite Brotherhood?
It's a mess like every institutional/burocratic thing King Sigmar touches

I’ve wanted to do the pointless brain exercise of translating these units into older 40K/WHFB style datasheets. Like with Mv/WS/BS/S/T/I/A/Ld/Sv, weapon profiles and special rules. Maybe it’s because part of me wants to see a slightly more complex, or at least reminiscent of older games version of AoS. Also nice Khorne get.

It’s actual gibberish. Largely in part because it was made in the rush to shove AoS1 out the door. And all that rush made for the shaky foundation that GW has started building a more solid house on. They could handwave it as ancient Azyric script from the age of myth. But they definitely need to stop sculpting it on models.

What army is for me? I don't aim to win, I just want to wreak havoc. No gimicks, no other tactics than kill kill kill! Sneaky stealthy kills are ok too, but I want there to be a lot of dead models after the game. Which army would allow for that feeling, letting you play unstoppable mayhem style no matter what opponent throws at you?

It fits within setting's portrail of Sigmar as someone who's lost in the role of an actual ruler and not a warrior, but complicates more specific solutions like making Stormhost commanders special characters

Sigmar was able to beat a mountain sized monster with his hammer while the emperor nearly died to a larger than average ork. It's gotta be the one true god-king

What is it about in-universe terms that just absolutely breaks people’s brains? Especially in regards to AoS. I don’t think I ever see such visceral reactions when people talk about other IP’s in-universe names/terms, yelling “slave name” at them. Like FFXIV. Elezen are just elves and Hyur are just humans, but no one ever goes into an autistic rage about them. Hell, let’s go with 40k, Eldar/Aeldari are Space Elves and Kyn/Squats are Space Dwarves.

For AoS it's because most of the names are too phonetically similar to the word they're replacing, like "aelves" and "ogors" being pronounced basically identically to "elves" and "ogres". Note how nobody ever bitches about "troggoth" or "seraphon".

The great parch is just a tiny portion of Aqysh and its already substantially larger than eurasia, the collective realms are obviously way larger than "a relatively large planet". Obviously 40k's dumbfuck nonsense scale still outclasses the realms but it's crazy to think of aos in terms smaller than the old world

Powerscaling shit like dbz is dumb, but the emperor doesn't even do anything, he's either one guy who had everything channeled through his mortal shell or a corpse on a throne fragmented into a billion different personalities doing shit in different places. Sigmar is an actual god who functions on fantasy god rules rather than the mess built up behind the emperor to make him both all powerful and powerless at the same time

>>94345334
so i havent had a chance to play that unit specifically, i've only played index stormcast so far, but at a glance, the prayer has bad timing and a very timid effect, those "once per turn kill a model on a health roll" will usually only net you a few dead chaff models a game, and the ruination chambers ability is greatly overvalued as it suffers extreme diminishing returns the more ruination units you include in your army. 3+ save is decent but 12 wounds is not a ton and it has no ward, so its survivability is middling and i would say its combat ability is also middling, its not the worst attack profile in the world but its also not your combat beatstick. also any 300+point model with priest/wizard 1 can fuck right off. for those points you would definitely expect 2 cast

looks to me like a utility monster with bad utility.

>>94341888
this one was looking slightly more interesting as thats a big control swing, flat 3 damage with 5 attacks on the charge is good although that rend is bad,but that last ability is terrible. the list of non-monster combat heroes against whom strike last would be a meaningful debuff can probably be counted on one hand across the whole game, half of which are already in the stormcast army roster. its a terrible ability even if it worked automatically, and yet its also reliant on a random dice roll. just bizarre how bad that ability is, especially for a 300 point unit.

they are both just almost offensively bad or mediocre, which you cannot have in an army of highly elite, expensive specialists.

>>94345989
saurus guard which i think are still resin. the skinks are plastic but its a janky kit from 2002 with like 4 body sculpts and shields that require you to chop off clubs from club arms to turn them into shield arms.

bastilladons i'd say are passable, but the stegadons in my opinion arent great.
>>
>>94344264
I don't really like aelf or ogor because it's pointless as you said. I have seen some rage about seraphon but I like the different names, especially duardin. Duardin sounds great imo. I think it can be especially silly because it's just SEO, not copyright like some say. When you type 'ogor' you get warhammer ogres and not shrek.
For elf I would've gone with something like godling, sylvan, or focus on the 'eth' that is at the end of all their factions. Ethrin or something inspired by their warhammer fantasy language. Ogres spoke grumbarth, maybe 'grum' for them.
>>
>>94346010
Saurus guard are just ugly plastic rather than resin, but fuck knows why they stuck around so long when the refresh basically redid everything else. I will say skinks aren't that bad either, they look fine alongside everything else and they don't really show their age as much as you'd expect for a model that's 22 this year, you definitely don't have to chop shit off arms to give them shields either, no idea where you got that from
>>

>no idea where you got that from
he probably got it from the fact the kit originally wasn't intended to be build with shield and club, only either javelin and shield or blowpipe and club, and you absolutely need to cut either the javelin or blowpipe from the right arm to fit a shield there since all clubs are on the left arms, except for the unit champion

Because you have to pay real money to own the model and then you have to paint it. It's not like it's essential to the army's playstyle like the sylvaneth woods or gsg shrine are.
>>
>>94347183
It's fairly useful actually. It allows you to buff units in the hero phase before teleport. For example, give +1 attacks and FH to a prosecutors unit before teleporting it out.

It also allows for a constant teleportation risk (even without a priest, which is a dice roll) so opponents can never abandon their back objectives completely.

idoneth are harder because they involve more parts and more detailed models

khainites are harder to actually paint to a good standard because most of their stuff is natural human-like skintones and female faces

I'd tell you to go with idoneth in any case, you can get very satisfying results with relatively simple methods
>>
>>94347448
Didn't assemble idoneth, but for daughters... digging through my memory, and don't think there are any obvious problems. No issues with the aelves, maybe balancing a bit on bases (especially for the one with flag). The harpies are a bit of pain, shoving the tails into their butts wasn't fun and I am still afraid they will snap. Magnetize the base. I don't like the 'double horn' helmets or some models, hate putting it together. For snakes the assemble is fun, but I would recommend painting them in subassembles - upper body (hair) x snake tail - before putting them on base. I would recommend to paint the skin first, in lighter colour than the outfit.

Most armies don't get additional units after their first release, right? I have the Cities of Sigmar box but I'm not looking to get more of those models because they're hard to paint and I'm not huge on their aesthetics. I'd like the griffons or the wizard wagons but that stuff's probably going to be squatted right? I have like 500 points and I'm not sure when to buy to get to 2000.

Yndrasta is absolute shit this edition.
340 goddamn points and in a game I just played she only managed to kill 2 ratling guns and then got destroyed by some doom flayers.

She should be 250 max because even when she hits her perfect target, a monster of roughly her price, she still whiffs half the time.

They get a legends one to tie into grombrindal existing, even though they only sold his shiny new model for 5 seconds after hyping him up for years and commissioning a really good novel all about him.

You’ll get a cities RoR you can take that isn’t just Callis & Toll when their tome comes out anyway and it’ll probably be something like a foot/mount marshal + 2/3 units of whatever they buff. Same goes the other way around for DoK. I guess you can already take the dwarves one and use its runelord to summon your manifestations, but they don’t really count

Are you saying that Gorkamorka is weaker than 40k Gork and Mork?
>>
>>94350711
Gorkamorka is the same type of being as the chaos gods in aos, he’s a fucked up fundamental force of the universe that’s now also intertwined with one of the eight magical elements that make up the physical world with his weird lordship over ghur. Every spark of waagh magic is a little piece of him flowing through the little greenskins that’re also seemingly just little pieces of him. If you subscribe to the often winkingly implied by GW (but impossible to be true) idea the two settings are connected he’s just the actual 40k gork and mork, but the mortal realms are the place he loves the most, has the most fun, and puts all his attention and presence into

He only ever even takes a physical form because he likes to get stuck in and scrap himself, with that physical form apparently mostly equal to sigmar’s and able to do things like accidentally get trapped in amber for indeterminate millennia. He only ever becomes gork and mork seperately because he gets bored and wants to fight someone equal, or gets too sad and too equally matched to pull himself together into one guy again.

Interesting. Tell me more... especially how well is the dommy mommy percieved by the rest of the players, would it be obvious to women players that I might be interested in having a dommy mommy if I run this army? I don't want to give of the wrong impression.

I know nothing about AOS. Why is it seemingly so unpopular? Was meaning to try something Warhammer and I like fantasy more than most of 40k's aesthetic.
>>
>>94352873
It's only unpopular compared to 40k, and that's because 40k is 40k.
Is there an army in particular catches your eye?
>>
>>94352873
AoS is far more popular in Europe than it is in the United States, no clue why the burgers don't like it
>>
>>94352910
I've noticed that my local shops run a lot more AoS tournaments and also stock more AoS than they do 40k. I was kind of confused, since I assumed 40k was just way more popular everywhere.
>>
>>94352873
It's a better game by basically every metric than 40k. Old 40k was better, but ever since 7th edition it's gone to shit. The lore is good and unlike 40k, the expansion of it is actually interesting instead of making the setting worse. A lot of the hate comes from fantasy grogs - but most of them moved past it, and it was instead carried on by total warhammer secondaries who hate on it because it's 'the thing' to do
>>
>>94352924
What would be a good way to give it a try? Spearhead?
>>
>>94352931
Spearhead's the best of the 'smaller version of the game' GW has ever done, so I'd suggest it, yeah. Though of all the warhammers, AOS is also the cheapest to get into as the armies are the smallest
>>
>>94352921
I frequent about four stores, 2 offical GW 2 independents, and all 4 are majority AoS, with an either equal or smaller 40k branch and zero TOW people. Shelves are sometimes empty for either a weird AoS faction or Space Marines but TOW is always fully stocked to the brim of the shelf.
>>
>>94352935
Any armies that are recommended to stay away from for newer players?
>>
>>94352948
Hmmm. Khorne, maybe? They feel like they'd be about spamming big heavy damage but they're more buff focused unfortunately. But really this isn't a super difficult game. What factions do you like the look of?
>>
>>94352948
just buy models you like. Rules change models don't

>>94352805

>>94352948
Slaanesh and the “high elves” are pretty weak on spearhead but great on a normal game.
>>
>>94352873
In a super simplified reduction and there’s plenty of more in depth, better written information out there.
It replaced fantasy because the entire fantasy range was selling less than the Tactical Space Marines box. The game was hard to get into as a newbie by requiring rather large armies. I didn’t play, but I’ve read that the rules sucked and kitted out wizard hero’s were what you actually played with while your large blob units just got ripped off the board. Grogs also didn’t help their own game by bringing these power lists even to newbie games, also just being grogs. The narrative of End Times fucking sucked, and it’s pretty universally agreed. Grogs got really mad when AoS came around because they incorrectly perceived it as “AoS killed fantasy”. The other option to AoS was not having fantasy themed Warhammer at all.
AoS came out and it was a wet fart of a release. Lobotomized rules, some even silly, bordering on stupid ones. See: the mustache/beard rules, the prancing around on a horse one, etc. The game had no organized play/points, it was actually just “put your models on the board and roll dice”. The lore was ocean wide and puddle deep, still is but they’ve made leaps and bounds towards bettering it. The garbage maps and early digital art didn’t help get people immersed in the setting. The elephant in the room of GW trying to force another sales behemoth by creating the SCE as poster boys. Lots of things like this culminated into the general sentiment of AoS 1.0 being just flat out shit. Not to mention you had this extremely loud minority of grogs coining the term “Age of Shitmar” and screaming it from the rooftops. 40K players and later TWWH secondaries adopted and mindlessly echoed it.
Later on it would come out that AoS had about SIX MONTHS of total development time and everything was rushed. One of the artists even said he had no direction for his Fyreslayer art and was just drawing something he was told to draw.
>>
>>94352909
>Is there an army in particular catches your eye
Slaves to Darkness, Seraphon, Kharadron and Skaven look cool
>>
>>94353017
Have things improved since then?
>>
>>94353051
Oh, absolutely. The game is probably bigger than it ever has been. Lore is looking up since it actually has room to progress unlike 40K stuck at a perpetual 5 minutes to midnight that always ends narrative events in Pyrrhic victories for both sides. Spearhead is a hit. I’m not entirely a fan of how simple and streamlined the rules are because they can’t seem to get stuff right even when there’s even less to mess up, but the game is still decent. I wish they’d bring over some heavy hitter BL authors instead of having them write Space Marine book #1836582 vs another faction but actually a 3rd faction is the real antagonist. Art was looking up, too, but they recently lost the artist I believe was best evolving the settings aesthetic, Thomas Elliot. Still some nice pieces coming out that aren’t his, though.

40k fan here, I want to start AoS as a fan of Total War Warhammer, but the woke stuff kind of repels me. I know Old World is not great to play, so I'm stuck here. Is AoS worth playing if you ignore the woke stuff, or should I go back to the miserable hellhole that is 10th edition 40k?

I hate them because Morbid Conjuration is too fucking good, they're free and there's no limit of 1 spell per wizard like in 3rd. I use Primal Energy because thats the only complete set I've got.

I think Endless spells in 4th are this way because GW wants to reduce their stock of them, then theyre gonna nerf them into the ground.
>>
>>94353385
Maybe get a different hobby instead? You have no right to whine about woke if you play anything Warhammer
>>
>>94352935
I asaume spearhead is functionally the equivalent of 40k's combat patrols? Does AoS have any other combo box style products that are worth it?
>>
>>94353620
Rather than making a conscious effort to ignore that character you would actually have to go out of your way to look for them.
>>
>>94353620
Okay? Non-gendered characters in fiction isn't a modern thing. Hell, basically every Slaaneshi daemon is a "they".
>>
>>94354086
Basically, except the rules are better.

AoS also gets Battleforces and new model box sets for just like 40k.
Plus there are special boxes tied to the end-of -edition narrative releases that can be good sometimes
>>
>>94354382
I've seen boxes like skaventide rotting on shelves, I assume those are not very popular?
>>
>>94354395
You mean the one that literally just came out and no newer box has been released since?
I assumed you know what starter boxxes are, so i didn't even mentioned them

I just want idoneth to get some properly armored infantry. GW has a weird obsession with naked retards, which is an aesthetic i personally cant digest. Which is also the reason why i hate Fantasy Slayers, and both old and new Marauders.
They are units of naked reatards in otherwise armies of cool looking armored dudes, they should have went with Warcry Legionaires style for the darkoath

But the writing system should be something closer to Druchii from WHFB. Look up some old Army Books.
>>
>>94353620
The they them character is also just female because they're in a faction with binary gendered armor designs.
