>>94477381>TQthey used to, actually. introduced in forbidden power in 2nd edition, it might have even been matched play legal, im not sure. its been a while.
>>94477496>>94477381crazy that we've actually come far enough that there are players now who dont remember 2nd edition.
Do I only need one box of terrain for sylvaneth
>>94477515Pretty sure you want three
>>94477515Potted plants cost less than GW plastic btw
>>94477515>>94477534You can be fine with 2 boxes.One to make a big wood as your free wood then 3 singles to place when you summon
>>94474947Not just back to unique units, back to making the most generic ass warbands on the planet again after finally dipping into cool shit like the brethren of the bolt and then making THOSE be unique units.They're also all going straight into the trash can of legends for some reason. Just a completely bizarre and arbitary decision to make 2 underworld warbands into generic units, stop doing that after the third battletome into the editon, and release all future warbands as legends warscrolls.
Re-asking because it was right at the end of last thread, for 1000 point skaven would you go 2 units of 20 clanrats and 1 unit of 10 stormvermin, or 1 unit of 20 clanrats and 1 unit of 20 stormvermin? It's roughly the same points cost either way. Also, is there any benefit to reinforcing warplock jezzails or should I keep them as two separate blobs of 3?I will certainly try both but I'd just like to have an idea of what I'd probably want to go with so I can choose what I finish painting first and how many champion variants to build. I am totally new to the game so I don't have much sense of how you'd want to use all the different variants of basic soldiers
>>94477381That's a bad proxy, the silhouette is completely different
>>94477936my understanding is that stormvermin arent that great right now and more clanrats would be betterOther than that im not sure about the other things
>want to expand my maggotkin army>don't like the stupid flies in the christmas boxhmm
stormcast eternals would be so cool if they didn't have the dumb lightning stuff
>>94478664Then they's just be Cast Eternals
>>94478214And? It's the base size that matters.
>>94478738
>>94478664I wish they'd be more celestial in their aesthetic of being "celestial lightning paladins", but I understand that Azyr is both stars and lightning and Seraphon have a near monopoly on the celestial thing.
>>94477381So, I am looking at the DoT index rules and it seems like it is half done. Would the Battletome add a lot? Or is this the best I can do?
>>94478757It really isn't
>>94478803It absolutely is unless you're completely mindbroken by WAACfaggotry.
>>94478757It's still coomer garbage being brought to the table.
>>94478829I don't think you've seen actual coomer weeb figures anon
>>94478833Generic weeb shit is the same shit.It's all garbage meant to be masturbated to.
Are Index armies at a handicap when facing armies with a battle tome?
>>94478839No, he's right. That one doesn't even have actual nylon stockings on it.
>>94478868Two out of the last three tomes have been basically the same as their index, slaves are mostly the same except for completely changing and dumbing down the marks of chaos/eyes of the gods for some reason
>>94478620Sell the flies? They're 1 uni.Or just buy other kits without a box, the discount usually includes 1 unit for free so that's the flies
Now that we completed the greenskinz line I'm kinda wondering what ogres are left with because the we basically covered everything >ironjawz - big armored retard gork orks that can be played as Unga bunga on foot or on pigs>kruleboyz - lanky mork orks that are more shooting and flanking >moonclan grots - mork goblin that can be played as a hord army with lots of magic and a few tanky trolls>gitmob - gork grots pure cavalry army probably glass cannon >SOB - giant monster mash armyI guess ogres could go for the priest route or BCR with giant monster cavalry army but I don't know.
kruel boyz still dont have any proper cav reeeeeeeeeeeeee
Does anyone have the new slaves to darkness path to glory rules? The bits I've managed to find make them seem kinda interesting, but I can't find the whole set of rules for the life of me.
>>94478839Sir, you are on a Mongolian basket weaving forum.
>thread pickill yourself weeb>tqthey had. in fact fyreslayers used to whore out to everyone but skaven and gitz.
>>94479270Natural rout for ogors would be more blunt Kruleboyz.Shooter army that's tanky enough to get inot melee instead of trying to avoid it like Boltboyz.
>>94479028Thank you, I have no idea when my armies will be updated.
The mask is so beautiful.
Is STD battalion worth picking up for the upcoming book release
>>94477381Finally a SoB player I wouldn't despise
>>94478620what do you want to expand it with?? if you don't like the flies then sell them >>94479392Was the old chaos sorcerer with the pointy horn head a chaos sorcerer non-lord or is the new kit just a dual build with a head swap?
>>94479392The eyeless helmet is better
Finishing up this warband, and it´s made me want to paint a unit of Chaos Warriors white. Any tips?>>94479392I prefer the Mouth of Sauron helmet. Looks very creepy.
>>94479541you can probably get away with drybrushing them progressively lighter shades of white/off-white over a black primer. I think they would look oddly clean if done in the traditional style and GW even gives them a dirty dented look vs the black armor you see on black templars or raven guard. that's how I would do it, at least. Also saves you the trouble of painting white and shading and highlighting it. here's a guy I did back when they were newly released
>>94479782since when can orcs read?
>>94479797They're looking at pictures
>>94479392I was pretty impressed with this guy too. I might have to pick one up.
>>94479797Weirdly enough, I think orcs have their own written script.
>>94479912They do. It's silly.>sanity and insanity are written the exact same way
>>94478839Moron
>>94479856Thats what reading is.
>>94479476>>94479476Do you like the models?
>>94480021Yes?
>>94480014No it isn't. I'm not reading Mona Lisa or photos from my vacation
>moonclan grots build on the moon iconography of old greenskins>gitmob grots build on the sun iconography of old greenskins>__________ grots build on the eye iconography of old greenskinsif only there was a subfaction of grots with a veritable thing for eyes...
>>94480063I know you want me to talk about spiders, but I think pirate goblins would be way more interesting.Besides, if gits got 3(or 4) groups, what would be the extra groups of orcs for warclans?
>>94479392Would it be mad to go gaunt summoner + sorcerer lord (fuck belakor)
>>94480111>night goblins / black orcs>pirate goblins / swamp orcs>wolf goblins / siege orcs>forest goblins / savage orcs
>>94478816so you would have no problem gluing a single Steelhelm to a 130mm base and calling that a Gargant proxy?
Thinking about getting into AoS. Have goblins gotten their book in this edition yet or am I better off waiting until then?
>>94480243They're getting it relatively soon next year https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/vab9rzvn/world-championship-preview-the-gitmob-prepare-to-race-across-the-mortal-realms/
>>94480243Goblins are getting their Codex early next year, along with a box set of the new Gitmob guys and a new Spearhead, contents yet to be revealed.So if you like all the models in the current Spearhead box go ahead and get that now because they're gonna stop selling it in a couple months. other than that, yeah waiting until the new book is out would probably be the move
>>94480254>>94480261Oh sick, nice. Sad to see no new troggoth models, kinda wanted to try a full trog army, but I'll manage
>>94480063Grotbag with KO glowing eye pieces
>>94478789They’re more lightning than celestial because all SCE are Hammers of Sigmar
>>94480026Than its worth it.>>94480055Yes it is, your brain see no difference.
>>94480261>contents yet to be revealed.I think they said it would be wolf themed, but I doubt they will include the doom diver, or the special character on wolf in therenor they can really make it too overlapping with the army boxset2 packs of snarlfangs, 1 boss on chariot and a pair of lesser chariots?
>>94480063>>94480111>>94480300>the moon side coopts spiderfangs>the sun side coopts grotbags
>>94480341>Yes it is, your brain see no difference.Reading is an act of assembling words/phrases from strings of symbols.Not simply looking at images
>>94480146>siege orcsWdym?
>>94480357I don't think they'd do two chariots alongside the boss chariot, they tend to want the Spearhead force to have a clear visual design. My guess would be 2 units of Snarlfangs, boss on chariot, and a unit of the new double wolf riders. That would probably be almost exactly 500 points too.
>>94480357have they said when that army launch box for the wolves is going to drop?i fucking N E E D it
>>94480371You actually are looking at symbols and assuming words. There's that thing where if you switch around the order of the letters besides the first and last people will still understand what you're saying because the brain is just connecting a symbol to a list of things it could mean. You also see it a lot when you come across a pointless discussion where neither side seems to be actually answering the other, because they're not, their brains autofilled the responses the other will give. If asked for details they'll have zero recollection.
>>94480469No, but since they showed the whole thing off it can't be too far away. GW slows down a lot in December because they're located in Britain and Britain celebrates a holiday called Christmas.So it will probably go up for preorder in January
>>94480481>There's that thing where if you switch around the order of the letters besides the first and last people will still understand what you're sayingThis only works for short and very common words, and only in very short pieces of writing. If you change the letter order in a long piece of adult-level reading, it quickly becomes almost unintelligible.
>>94477381>anime
>>94480413normal orcs, but slightly redesigned to focus more on warmachines, in the same way normal goblins got slightly redesigned to focus more on an all mounted force
>>94480649Wolf-riding gobs, orcs, and war machines, you say? Throw in some infernal dwarfs with guns, and you have a deal...
>>94480677zog off
>>94480649Ironjawz should be siege orcs then, they have the look and battering ram is right up their alley
>>94480815Soon
>>94480815maybe, gordrakk was the one to fashion hammergord into a siege ram after allbut ironjaws at large are very unruly and lacking in finesse which was what caused the siege of excelsis, and the use of the siege ram itself, catastrophically bad, with gorkamorka reprimanding gordrakk specifically about his lack of patience and the need to expand the horde with more diverse partners in waaagh.which is why I don't really them working all that well with what I was proposing, take for example ardboys, when they were remade into proper ironjaws sculpt they lost the look and theme of being particularly disciplined with more conventionally crafted equipment, or look at the mawgrunta, they could have gone for a chariot to display a semblance of attitude to building stuff, but they went for a giant boar.so, I don't think ironjaws are an ideal basis for this idea, especially when their aesthetic is kind on a dead end so it might be better to add more orc subtypes than denaturate ironjaws' direct brutality further
That's it, I'm done. I assembled 10 Flesh Hounds and I refuse to touch them ever again. Such an atrocious kit, truly despicable.
>>94479392Mask? I thought it's a skin warped by Chaos.
>>94481847Darkoath have the same masks, even on horses
AAAAAAAAAAAA MY FUCKING MODELS ARE STUCK IN CANADA POST HELL
>>94481976>POST HELL
Are City Ogors born with a smaller stomach in comparison to tribal Ogors or are they just better at maintaining their appetite?
>>94482320Probably both. The most disciplined ogors are the most likely to hangout within cties and their children would naturally inherti smaller stomachs
>>94482320ogres are made for moving around in long migrations, for eating raw meat in huge feasts, and for fighting others and each othersthe sedentary and relatively peaceful life in a city, where food is mostly processed grains and eaten in small amounts but multiple times a day, is the absolute worst case scenario for an ogre and is inevitably going to alter their physique, mentality and metabolism, especially in the case of young, newborn or soon-to-be-born ogres of the first generation of immigrantsif you see an ogre who joins a dawnbringer crusade, sometimes he does so specifically because he recognised how city-life isn't for an ogre and how the long marches and constant fighting of a crusade is an opportunity to live more like an actual ogre
>>94482235
...
Halp me Anons, I'm looking for an AoS novel. Ogre (of snowy variety) got his guts cut open by Dorf and... started eating his own spilling fat. And died happy, if not orgasmic. Anyone knows the title?
>>94483383ogor eatign himself sounds familiar, but idk where the bell rings
>>94483263...!
So, I have some fluff for LRL coming up.>They get the Ur-Phoenix godspark flame thing to Hysh>They set up a temple to store the flame in the hopes that it will rebirth>This is where the not!Phoenix Guard come in, they're there to guard it, some are ex-Phoenix Guard themselves from the destroyed city, some are just LRL in general>This will be a plot point where eventually Tyrion gets imbued with the spark and becomes the 'host' of the Ur-Phoenix. This was all part of the cycle of rebirth planned out. Basically a nod to Tyrion being the Phoenix King but you know, not. He's still 'blind' but now has flame eyes.>Eventual model, obviously
>>94483745there's a reason why we never get leaks about fluff, anonstop pretending you have inside knowledge and simply discuss your daydreaming and wishful thinking as such
>>94483745Every time someone claims they have leaked fluff here it's just to shitstir and ends up disproven completely upon release and then is never mentioned again
>>94480272you can do a full trogg army, they just gave a named trogg character at the end of last edition. Mind you a full trogg army is still pretty limiting, but going that much in on trogg was always going to be limiting, even if they had more units
>>94480357honestly i wouldnt be surprised if it was just a swap out of the named hero for the chariot hero (in the same way that the FEC spearhead was just a change in hero and 1 less unit)
>>94480272There’s an army of renown that only lets you take troggoths, led by trugg (and at least one other troggboss, I guess, for enhancements)
>>94483383first Grombrindal novel.
>>94478620honestly outside those and the lord, the warcry unit is bleh and doesn't really fit the look of the regular blightkings.
>>94484265I'm hoping for a Rotmire hero and Rotmire cavalry for Maggotkin. It would make that one unit less of a weird standout in the range, and open up a new playstyle for Maggotkin
>>94483745Obviously fake, Malekith is the true Phoenix King
>>94477381DoK should lean into its degenerate weeb appeal instead of this "safer" nonsense they've been going for.
>>94484425Steam tanks should have feet wearing cool shoes sticking out of the bottom like Flintstones cars
>>94484425Fucking oath they should
>>94484501They should bring back the Soul Grinder but call it the Sole Grinder and it has six feet
>>94484425yes. absolutely. they shouldn't look more conservative, we're here for the metal bikinis and heels. i don't give a damn if they get no armor saves, that's what spells are for.
>>94484566You don’t want Fyreslayers
>>94484763Which DoK aren't. But lightly armed horde that charges in and bashes heads in combat is a very broad archetype.
>>94484425DoK are the classic victim of the nudity bad violence good bullshit that west has going on
So wait, are ironjawz and kruel boys going to be able to mix race when their book comes? I’d be interested in kruel boyz if that’s the case, otherwise I think I’d hold off on them.
>>94485412Apparently yes, big waaagh is coming back as an army of renown. Sounds like they've given ho on the great divorce of the warclans, at least for 4th edition
>>94483745My uncle works at Nothingham city council and told me you are wrong
>>94485440>at least for 4th editionthey share spells and a scenery now, they're not getting split
>>94482235Heh
>>94484525I actually bought a soul grinder sprue on second hand but never got around to finish building it and now I'm mad at myself
>>94480491Only for nonhwites. Humans can manage long wirds fine.
>>94485665hard to take you seriously when you can't manage short words.
Why are gore gruntas online only
>>94484525
>>94485731Cause they were in a box that got replaced by a different box and need new packeging
Kinomongers
>>94486163I don't think anyone ever liked that kit
>>94484399Based and correct
>>94486182if he was the true phoenix king how come he isn't ruling ælfenkind?
>>94486189Because he doesn't have a faction yet.
>>94486189He is though. He's one of the guys in charge of the OG soul extraction
>>94486455I barely recognise mirebrutes as trolls
>>94486455I really wanna like this dude.
>>94486455One of the best models with cool warscroll>>94486502They just need more troggoths, like River troggoths

>>94489207It's how sce access the realm of heaven without having to die first.They're not directly connected to Azyr (So a bad guy cant just walk straight through them) but they're tied to the wind of Azyr which lets stormcast dissipate and reteleport.It's a nice lore bit that explains why everyone seems to be able to deepstrike despite not dying every game.

>>94489293I think they tried the euthanasia pod somewhere in Switzerland, and not only it was illegal to do so but the glorified gas chamber didn't do the job apparently because they found signs of strangulation on the poor fuck they convinced to get killed
>>94489331>Suicide booths only exist in Switzerland.Booths maybe, but Canada got infamous for doctors suggesting euthanasia to mildly ill patients
>>94489340That's horrible.Canadian doctors should be running through the streets of Canada suggesting euthanasia to literally every Canadian they meet. It's fucking Canada.

So when are we getting actual T tex models for Seraphon?
>>94477515Depends how versatile you want to be. For events I bring 4, gives more possible combos of sizes to place, since the shapes are so different and odd.I also have a table to play on at home so having the extra terrain isn't so much a burden to buy since I can get multiple usages out of it.

>>94477381So getting back into AoS after months with DoT. What is the best way to get the burning keyword on targets? RaW it looks like i can only do it to one target. I am curious if there is a way to increase that
>>94490501>T texCowboys are from the other America
>>94490672You can actually do it to two enemies per turn because it's in "any shooting phase"Burning Chariots can burn an enemy unit they pass overOgroid Thaumaturge can burn a unit after hitting it in melee (there's also an artifact that lets any hero do this)
>>94490501They have a carnasuar. How much more T rex do you want?
>>94490700Interesting. Thank you.

Oh, the StD release is a two-week preorder window? Were the rat and Stormcast ones too?
>>94492448>THE JOKE IS FATWorst part of the Nurgle aesthetic
>>94492930Hits a bit too close to home?
>>94492884I think they had only 1 week
>>94492980The opposite, I just dont think there is something inherently cool about fat.It's not imposing, threatening or scary. At best its kind of a little gross, but not in a scary way, more like just kinda "aw the milk went bad" offputting.I'd be fine with SOME of bloated corpse aesthetic being present in Nurgle, but it's explicitly not even proper corpse bloat, it's just straight up fatsos. And I'd tolerate that if there wasn't SO much fucking emphasis on "haha, jolly fat man goes braaap!". Where are other states of decay? Where are other incarnations of death? Its very samey. And other daemon lines are barely better.
>>94493108Plaguebearers aren't fat theamed. Neither are any of the insectoids.Only GUO and Nurgling, who's just a mini GUO

>>94493155Yeah and GUO are literally manifestation of Nurgle incarnate. Which is the worst part.>but you can totally like, do your own greater daemons, daemons can look like anything!Doesn't change the fact that all of the imagery surrounding Nurgle shit is FAT FAT FAT. Mortals too, by the way.
>>94493496You never seen bloated corpse? They arent skiny either. On the other hand you could stop complaining and make your own shit that dont look fat but that would require you to convert. We cant have that right?
>>94493496blame whoever decided that chaos shouldn't have undead, otherwise you could have bet on nurgle getting the usual aesthetics associated with undead including sleletons
>>94493496It's an accurate representation of the philosophy (and players lmao) associated with nurgle

Won an AoS RTT today. I played the degenerate 30 Deathrider+Katakros list.2 games I just YOLOed in t1, jailed them for 3 rounds and outscored them.1 game was super close and came down to the wire on a 5+ Covering Fire denial to a 1w Teratic Cohort model doing Take the Flanks.In another game the Teratic Cohort tanked Yndrasta for 3 turns and single handedly punched her down. I expect to see a Deathrider point hike soon. Ill probably just remove a unit of Mortek Guard to make up for it. Most of the time Katakros was just in the middle chilling and handing out buffs.Picrel, it's the Big K.
When will GW finally release normal dwarfs I want mountain dwellers and runes.Would also be nice if they used realmstone to power cannons or other constructs maybe even a giant golem.Also please no fucking dwarf soup
>>94494178>Also please no fucking dwarf soupYou can't have normal dwarfs and not expect them to be the cornerstone of a soup book with the two extremist wings of dwarfs in it as well.
>>94494194>You can't have normal dwarfs and not expect them to be the cornerstone of a soup book with the two extremist wings of dwarfs in it as well. Why can chaos have 4 different books for each chaos god + std but for some reason we have to soup all dwarfs. I could maybe tolerate fyreslayers because they also live in a similar environment as normal dwarfs and wouldn't clash visually and from a gameplay perspective that much but KO straight up don't fit with the other two and play vastly different with their ships.
>>94494279because each branch of chaos has a fuckload of models and a soup book of all of them would be unreasonably big while a soup book of only some of them would be thematically hypocritical both the fyreslayer and kharadron ranges are very small and a new faction of normal dwarfs is unlikely to be too big out of the gate
>>94486455mirebrutes are cool I wish there were more of them
>>94494178>normal dwarfsLoL U wont see them. Next might be Hashut bois but I rly want Valaya girls.
>>94494279>Why can chaos have 4 different booksSo GW can milk retards who buy those obsolete by design pieces. Chaos is Peak soup faction and dont rly work when split but hey we made those 4 grand aliances and we will fullfil our quotas.
>>94494743I would rather see an ironjawed battle troll
>>94494914I wish Darkoath didn't look like shit.
>>94494930These also look like shit
>>94494836>and dont rly work when splitinsane thing to say
>>94486694regiments of renown have picked up the mantle, but they are too few and too inflexible. they could serve the purpose perfectly, if they just put a little more effort into them instead of treating them as an afterthought
>>94494836If Chaos was supposed to work together by default the whole possition of the Everchosen would be compelatly pointless
>>94493108It's supposed to be gross and fatness is repulsive
>>94495636I liked that episode. It was very campy.
>>94495636why not make it a loop?
>>94491938>What the fuck is The Old World.Wait, come to think, what happened with it?
>>94495655It was confusing, how were DoK supposed to be framed as the bad guys?
>>94495836It's still there. Just hype died off so it's one of the minor GW games
Is Vyrkos werewolf abilities connected to Nagash or is this from a independant source? I am wondering about gitmob furries. They could work as a fast infantry. Or even just a lore possibilities, for converting stabbaz
>>94496046>Is Vyrkos werewolf abilities connected to Nagashmost definitely but there's a story suggesting that it wasn't a direct thing https://ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/Hrunspuul
>>94495836>what happened with it?Vegetative state with every releas after launch being 1 pitty hero.Makes you wonder wtf were they doing for 5 years.
>>94496152archive digging and retooling and planning out what the hell their budget will be
>>94496046Offically it comes from some grave hound godbeast, but at the time said godbeast might have already been killed and assimilated ino Supream Lord of the Undead, meaning its appearance was just Nagash's shizophrenia.I don't think there's a definitive yes or no
>>94496164>archive diggingThis is honestly harder than you would FUCKING think because there is no official track history between model releases and what not
>>94496046Grots have souls, so they should be able to get cursed with soulbligth, right?
>>94496152>Makes you wonder wtf were they doing for 5 years.Easy>Big plans, we're gonna launch with Kislev and Cathay as brand new armies to ride the hype and make loads of money>Oh fuck, actually that's insanely risky we'll, uh, nostalgia bait with Brettonia and TK instead>Ok fuck, between spending three years on unreleased armies and splurging what was left of our budget on a couple of new Brett/TK models we have nothing left and GW will cut us off unless we launch something and prove we're even worth paying for>OK get some intern to knock out like four resin hero models to cover our entire first year of releases after launch, everyone squeeze your butt cheeks and pray for a miracleApparently rumors have been swirling lately that they're gonna release Cathay next year after all, ngl I would probably actually buy that box set.
>>94496194so you think retrieving the moulds for oop miniatures and kits was a painless and instantaneous ordeal?
>>94496336Where at any point in that post did that poster express any such sentiment?
>>94493812>Deathrider point hikeNah. AoS needs a "Baby's first army" faction
>>94496227I think so, in theory at least. It'd be an interesting experiment but I doubt any vampires would want to try it.
>>94496379I misread, pardon.
>>94496441Is infecting only done willingly or can they spread the curse while in their madened beastial form induced by hunger?
>>94496477
>>94496480I'm not sure if they changed it in Sigmar but vampires were made via the Blood Kiss before, and was always implied to be something that a vampire had to consciously decide to do.
>>94496480it can probably happen by accident, but it's not easy kritza was turned after getting mauled to (supposed) death by radukar
>>94496227I really like that. Goblins with a monstrous twist is cool looking.
>>94496317I’m gonna have to press X on those rumors. TOW has been absolutely floundering over the last year, even if you hedge and try to cope about the glacial release pace (which is a further sign it’s not doing hot)
>>94496227it's not straightforward: some would argue that only humans can become vampires because the original form of vampirism was born due to an elixir tailored specifically for humans.but then again, I enjoy the idea of fringe cases of vampirism, like a single skaven becoming a vampire and raising a clan of skeletal rats that's kept in check by all other skaven being absolutely fucking scared by a rat that can wield necromancy at that scale; or an ogre that becomes vampiric because he devoured a vampire whole; or the infamous anklebiting vampire halfling that survived a vampire with onion.in any case I think it would be important to make vampirism in other species manifest in a very different way compared to how it does with humans.
>>94496611>with onion.garlic
>>94496593It absolutely didn't live up to the pre-release hype where retards actually thought it would dethrone AoS. It probably did exceed GW's basement level expectations though, their comment on the last financial report was that TOW surprised them by actually being bought by some number of people who were under 50. That said, I think the "Cathay next year" rumors are on the level of "Chorfs soon!" for the last couple years of AoS, they're definitely coming but not that soon.

>>94496846Looks to be an undead squirrel.
Won a spearhead box at my LGS. It's good for 6 more months but the current boxes really don't catch my fancy, modelwise or army rulewise.Mainly also because I don't want to paint detail hell like CoS or Slaanesh .Probably only FEC fits the bill. They look okay enough for paintjobs and they recently got new models, no? Probably will never get any Terrorgheists since the model is ancient.Are there any new Spearheads coming along the line? Usually they come with a new wartome and the latest upcoming one is ironjawz (nah) and gloomspite (probably not as well)
>>94496846That nigga's nuts!
>>94496938FEC's new ghouls and shit are solid, i built 40 of the crypt guard for a conversion project, they are fun and have a decent amount of customization but also would still be quite easy to paint. the morbheg knights are similar, most of their detail is flesh and fur texture which can very easily be done with a contrast, shade, or drybrush and not actually a bunch of hand painted details apart from the odd bone, claw, or bit of rusty metal. ironjawz and gloomspite are on the way, though we dont know exactly when, and we dont know about any others beyond that. i would definitely pick for aesthetics though, i've played about 10 games of spearhead now and even the most 1 sided games on turn 1 still often end up in a nail biter, just from the way its point system and cards work, the games are prone to underdog comebacks and wild back and forth swings.
Does anyone else HATE faction terrain? Aside from like gnawholes and wildwoods I feel like they just ruin the vibe, narratively speaking; how did a magmic battleforge and a bone-tithe nexus come to be within 100 yards of one another?
>>94497233I don't hate it, but it shouldn't be for all factions and the factions that would have it shouldn't heavily rely on it. Some factions it doesn't make sense for.
>>94497233>fyreslayers build battleforge on powerful magic location >leave>bonereapers come in and start fucking with the nearby native population of normies>place bone tithe nexus in same area because the magic is stronk
>>94496938FEC is a very good box; all new sculpts, all units see use, with the Abhorrent Archregent being particularly stand-out, to the point of basically being auto-include. Other boxes I'd consider are IDK and KO. Also, painting hedonites isn't that bad if you have the appropriate mindset about it; they make a great project for when you've already got another army to play with and can take your time and accept that properly painting 2K points is gonna take six months. Then again, I took on the task that is GSC and came out the other side, so now pretty much everything "isn't that bad" to me.Alternative ideas: does it have to be a spearhead or can you get a combat patrol box? The Daemons combat patrol is great if you like Khorne, or if you have any interest in 40K the Drukhari box is ridiculously good value, to the point that I actually think it was a mistake by GW.
>>94497244>Some factions it doesn't make sense forSoB and KO especially, if either of them get faction terrain that's a jumping the shark moment for me.
>>94494930im not someone who despises these models, but straight up i think just buying some victrix dacians or germanics are better than these. Theres more of an argument for the rohan warriors or the heroes but the hillmen are not outstanding
>>94497333>victrix dacians or germanics are better than these. Theres more of an argument for the rohan warriorsThose don't look like evil scum.
>>94497294Spearhead more like Spermhead
>>94494743The kruleboyz range is absolutely chocked full of hero units with no corresponding non hero unit to lead, and non heroes with no hero go lead them.The whole army revolves around its boltboyz and killbowz , and yet you don't have a single dedicated archer commander hero, the closest thing being the armies basic wizard. Then you have a boss on vulcha, a boss on mirebrute, and a boss on gnashtoof, with no gnashtoof unit, flying cav unit, or troggoth unit for any of them to lead.The entire kruleboyz range is ludicrously schizophrenic and feels like a random half a box of jigsaw pieces of a whole puzzle, like lumineth was when they released. But unlike lumineth, they never got their wave 2 6mo-1yr later to fill in the gaps
>>94497244The bone tithe nexus is actually a detriment that I stopped bringing it.For the meager bonus it gives, it enables easier charges/battle tactics for the enemy. Not to mention it also blocks movement in my own DZ
>>94497823That’s just destruction in general outside of gitz.
>>94496477>Lore coming soonWonder if they will beat the 41%ing
>>94496477>openly Trans SCE>someone who can be reforged into any form they so chose is transTourist hands typed that.
Surprised there are no good examples of kragnos proxies.
>>94494178NeverThey're just not exotic enough for AoS
>>94494178>normal mountain dwarfsIts possible now that theyre bringing back gitmob, but expect them to still lean into something like gitmob leans so heavily into wolf cavalry stuff
I keep coming up with excuses to no start painting my Blissbarb Archers. I decided they were going to be the next models I paint so now I just keep building and priming other models so they'll be ready when I finish my Blissbarbs
>>94498458They leant in to the Slayer aspect and made Fyreslayers. Then they leant in to the engineer aspect and made Kharadron.Clearly, next they need to lean in to the beer aspect.
>>94498476OK the more I think about this the more I like it. It would be a unique expansion on typical dwarf lore like the other Duardin armies are. They would be associated with Ghyran like FS are with Aqshy and KO with Chamon. They'd work really well as a replacement for Dispossessed in Cities. Give them gear that's mostly wood and cloth like the model in the pic so they blend in OK with a regular Cities army but also give them little Duardin design cues like the metal fixtures on the wagon so they have their unique design language.Fuck it, bring on the beer Duardin.
The new SCE livery section has way less on display than the previous battletome. Weird choice
>>94496404Is that not supposed to be the SCE?
This won’t be worth buying for resale value when it’s OOP right? It’s 42 USDI chose the inquisitor as my free model.
>>94498536You'll probably be able to get a small profit off it in a couple years. Not worth the effort imo, unless you regularly sell models already
>>94498550I figured. I don’t play AoS but it looked like it had nowhere near the draw as the year 3 vampire. Thanks.
>>94498294What's an example that does not qualify as a good kragnos proxy to you?
>>94496846ghurish squirrelthey eat nutsnuts don't grow in ghur
>>94498923anything that looks like the original.
>>94498294The design is too complex for 3rd party
>>94498294consider using a recast of the forgeworld elemental of ghurbut a more appropriate proxy depends on the army you want to run it in

>>94497823We are getting hobgrot hero, so that's that. And lorewise monstakillaz are connected with breaka-boss. But I agree, there is way too many heroes for so few units
When OWC will be on sale?
>>94499380before the next reveals
>>94499540That's this month though
>>94499699indeed
>>94498533Nah, even SCE need more brain power to play well. Bonereapers are still the auto pilot faction. Not as easy as 3rd edition but still good
why the fuck do 40k get new detachments while we are over here waiting for the new slavs of dung book to come out?
>>94496938>Probably will never get any Terrorgheists since the model is ancientYou might just troon out now and save us waiting.
>>94499540>>94499699So next weekend?
>>94499992Have you forgotten how lame battle formations are in 4th edition? Did you really want to wake up to twenty-four days of "Once per game, select a friendly unit and roll a die; on a 2+, gain 1 rend on melee attacks until the end of the phase"?
>>94500102Probably not until January, honestly. We're in the pre-Christmas lull at this point, expect GW to put up some random Made to Orders or other tame stuff.
>>94497823The total lack of cavalry is the oddest part, considering how many mounted characters they have.
>>94500767just the gnashtoof nigga, really, the heroes on vultures are on monsters so that's a whole other league, while the guy on troll can barely be counted as mounted.realms of ruin included lesser gnashtoof to accompany the guy on the bigger one, I think that would be a smart choice instead of a cavalry unithttps://imgur.com/XB4qY7Kideally they could also include them directly into the kit of the boss of gnashtoof whenever they decide to make a true kit for it
>>94500708that's why they'll release it before Christmas. To sell as much as possible
>>94500874They won't. The BFME stuff that just went up for preorder won't actually ship until mid December, GW literally shuts down for the holidays shortly after that point, you'll wait until next year and like it.
>>94499249You're probably overthinking it; gitz and OWC account for at least two of those months, and "value" boxes are only going down in value; if you're feeling FEC I'd grab them, build them, paint them, and play them. Time is far more valuable than money.
