>TQ:Robowalker Dorf
>>96532200>If you could add one more kit to the HoH lineup, what would it be?Iron Daemon or an equivalent vehicle. They need a good centerpiece vehicle that isn't the derpbot. It could even be dual-build with a Skullcracker!
>TQLammasu, easy.
>>96532219i wonder if that guys ever gonna leak the file
JESUS CHRIST THESE ARE SOME SPINDLY FUCKERS
>>96532259i really wish those models could actually be run as a melee combat fighting unit instead of just techy little skirmishers and objective grabbers
>>96532271I like that role for them Dryads should probably be the frontline infantry blobs.
Wow the Chorf army box is actually selling out at all my local stores
>>96532335knowing nothing about their lore, i feel like it should be reversed. dryads are smaller and look nearly identical to trees, so it would make sense for them to be the weaker ones that just dissapear in and out across the fieldthese revenants look like serious warriors with pickaxes, sickles, glaives and greatswords. they look like they're ready for a fight, they should be a blender unit
>>96532259does anybody ever paint the elf part like it's normal elf flesh?
>>96532210This.They had a named character with the OG ones on a walker because his legs had turned to stone.Wish I still had that model
>>96532337Damn box selling out in seconds online everywhere I can see except for the obvious scalpers who are jacking the price up 50%. What a shitshow
>>96532358There's some examples of doing that in the Sylvaneth battletomes, looks surprisingly good actually.
>>96532225Is it something that's never been released or something?
>>96532477It's not the original sculpt, which means it's some kind of custom print job.
>chorfs sold out on the aus/nzi am glad
>>96532337Same
>>96532358Lewd
Convince me that by making DoK more prominent it wouldn't increase AoS sales
>>96532510
Did any faction NOT sell at release tbf?
what colour should I paint my orkies aside from green
>>96532546red
>>96532547makes em faster, very smart anon
Sigmars toll, anyone have it?
>>96532544lumineth
>>96532546Mix blue and yellow to paint them blellow
>>96532544gitmob bombed
>>96532510Least coom-brained DoK "fan"
>>96532552red makes em faster, what would blellow give them?
>>96532510>AI>CommissionFuckin yeesh, imagine paying for ai slop
>>96532544The Gitmob army box didn't do too well, since it clashes with the Gits identity and sucks on a strength level
>>96532573Blue is lucky yellow is rich blellow would make them good at gambling
>>96532544gitmob, deathrattle, cities of sigmar
>>96532583I like your style anon
>>96532623death rattle did sell but they restocked it afterwards right when the hype for it died down
Played my first1k game of my Kruleboyz against a freind's Seraphon. The strikes last dirty trick feels low-key busted. Felt almost bad just making his hammer units strike last and swarming them with crit 5+ gutrippas
>>96532550It's still too early bro, better wait a few more days
>>96532510They should make a futa mini giantess character for dok with a fat ass and an obscene bulge
Any reviews of the first episode of Sigmar Toll?
>>96532679people have said it looked cool. Was decent for a 19 min animation. Obviously some muck ups but nothing deal breaking.
>>96532623>cities of sigmarThat's surprising. Aren't they the "normal dudes" faction that was asked for a long time?
>>96532635thats what you have to do, kruleboyz are made of glass, they cant take a fair fight. 5+ and 6+ saves, no reanimation, healing, almost no wards. gotta kill the enemy before they hit you, either by a dirty trick like that or shooting. i wouldnt feel too bad about it, kruleboyz may be good right now but they spent the better part of 4 years with like low 30% winrate, they took their licks
>>96532358GW does
Is there any chance we'll see a live-action series or movie set in AoS?
>>96532798Unironically, never-ever. The change of 40k getting anything live action is slim enough as is. >inb4 that Henry Cavill bit that's already a massive outlier.
>>96532798It all depends on how well the Warhammer 40k live-action series does.
>>96532801Henry's series is like the 3rd attempt and his 5 minutes are over, so i'm not that certain about it seeing the light of day
>>96532832Pretty much how I feel on it. Until that first ep is metaphorically in my lap, it doesn't exist in any capacity.That Secret Level we got is as good as it ever will get - but that episode was pretty cool, so whatever.
Pardon the messy desk, but doing some practice work for my dudes. Nurgle's been on the list for years but finally getting in there, holy fuck there's so many little greebles.
>>96532851Looking good, man!
>>96532200Fireborn.
>TQEither more demon engines or more ghur hybrids
I've heard rummors 5e will also have a new dwarf faction, any ideas what itll be?
How will my orkies fare in 5th edition
>Me when I find out the female heads arn't optional
>>96533026Same shit with the Votann. You VILL use zhe female heads.
>>96533008Depends how late their tome will come
>>96532551Is that why their rules are consistently good ?
>>96533058nope, votann has more than enough male heads in sprues
g'day mates it's me the AOS cuck, I slurped GWs cum for early access to rules but leaks make me completely irrelevant. I'm also borderline illiterate. Be sure to loike and subscroibe
>>96533099Sometimes I wonder if yoovtjubers like him come here and see these posfs about themselves.Anyway I just ordered my own HoH army set so I am slurping pretty hard right now as well.
>>96532181>you have 3 named nobody charactersThey pop up in War in the Hidden Vale, plus Gutrot Spume and the Glottkin and all those characters are actually really enjoyable in that story.Gutrot and Lorrus Grymn have a really well written fight in it as well.
>>96532200>If you could add one more kit to the HoH lineup, what would it be?Hobgrot Wolf Riders.
>>96532181I like the nurgling dude
>>96533097The grenadier is female no matter what
>>96533099I guess you could call it a living.AoS is too niche for criticism among sloptubers. Gasping at straws and discussing the meta is easy pocket change.Although I wish it had its own The Outer Circle guy
That gitmob spearhead is looking at me like a green goblin mask man. Wonder how I can justify picking two of them up. >>96533138>spoilernah fuck em. Hes part of the issue of hobby tubers being nothing but a bane overall.
>>96533110Hope Vince saw all the comments about his conversions and it did nothing but inspire him to crank out more
>>96533138>Although I wish it had its own The Outer Circle guyThe man who complains 24/7 and does nothing but encourage the most shitty, toxic people to become even more shitty and toxic while ruining everything he touches?Aye, we need at least a dozen more of those.
>>96533149Is there a hobby tuber out there who strikes a good balance between praise and criticism?
Dose anyone else remember that Warhammer Weekly episode from years back where this guy called Mr Mephisto who I'm pretty sure deleted his channel since then was on there? He was going on shizo tangents and compared Vince to Ben Shapiro. Shit was wild
>>96533158Sounds like an episode I would be able to finish without falling asleep half way through
>>96533099Why is no sloptuber hot?
>>96533155I when there's a variety of opinions, not just positive Polly's walking on eggshells, trying not to be harsh against GW
>>96533156they dont really exist in the hobby sphere, unless you're counting people who just hobby exclusively and put that on their you tube channel. >>96533166British people
>>96533166I guess there's Majorkill, if you're gay
>>96533171>3171Eh... ehhh... fine I'll take it :l
>>96533183wonder if the scribbles actually mean anything
>>96533166Because if they were attractive, they'd have a real job.
>>96533118>Lorrus GrymnOh Grymn. RIP king.
>>96533026Well I guess I won't be buying the box then. Chorfs without beards are not chorfs
>>96533225>Chorfs without beards>Model has beard???
>>96533234Read the post I replied too mong
>>96533243You don't have to use the female heads????
>>96533135berserks? yeah thats the only exception i guess
>>96533262They're getting bolder!
Underwhelming...
>>96533314>No special rules or buffs despite being their only named character Bleak.
>>96533329>>96533314That cant be right, he should at least have a unique spell.
>>96533331It's shown on the store page, so yeah. That's what we're getting. Sad.
>>96533335Imagine this is the first time GW decides to alter the warscroll cards to avoid leaks
>>96533183Lame that they don't have any rando non-named symbols on there like the cos one did
>>96533331>>96533329>>96533314you do realize these cards have a backside too right? he's 350 points btw and is gonna be really popular in lists
>>96533339
I am confused. Is it confirmed that the HoH Spearhead released in the future will be the same as the Army Box minus the book or is the Army Box getting Spearhead rules but the actual Spearhead released in the future will be different?
>>96533350It'd be dope if they get a Spearhead in the future that was different. Perhaps Bull Centaurs and hobgrots in it? Chaff tying up the enemy while big dicked bulls slam into the exposed flanks.
>>96533331All of the leaked warscrolls so far have had wizards and priests not come with unique spells/prayers, which feels insane to me given every other unit in the game has that. What would posess them to fuck it up this badly
>>96533347OOOOOOHOk, I'm a dumbass. Disregard.
>>96533350I dont know if it was for 40k or aos but I heard a little rumor that every faction will get another round of spearheads/combat patrols to compliment their existing ones.
>>96533347Dude in the top left is UGLY. Like fucking hell.
>>96533361all of gods creatures are beautiful you dumb fucking cunt, you actual retard
>>96533366NTA but there are some seriously ugly people out there
>>96533171Not gay to mire aesthetic men
>>96533347>>96533361I'm fucking hideous, how do I fix this? I know! Get fat, wear vests and slap on shitty tattoos, that'll save me!
Monsters don't get nerfed much anymore for taking wounds huh.
>>96533183Bright neon yellow is such an odd choice for chorf iconography
>>96533366Hi, Coach
>>96533402It goes well with black.
>>96533397Probably internal survey showed players don't like it. Like it's cool as a flavour, but having your big dude be useless feels bad
>>96533402Isn't that Iron Warriors thing?
>>96533412I like how they did it with skarbrand
>>96533350The spearhead in the battletome comprises:>War Despot>1 Dominator Engine>1 Tormentor Bombard>5 Infernal Cohort with Hashutite Spears>5 Infernal Cohort with Hashutite Spears (with Gong Carrier)Which is also what you get out of their army set.
>>96533460>5 Infernal Cohort with Hashutite Spears (with Gong Carrier)I read that as grog carrier
Zharrdron trying to be all serious here while there's a greenskin shanty called Fort Krump right next door.
>>96533460Wait are the dwarves a max squad of 10?
>>96533155It is perfectly fine to shit on Fat Macc, world's Fattest Aussie, but you can't say he doesn't do anything for the HH community. He produced getting started guides for all the Legions and factions, the man is a pretty good painter, and he does not bullshit product reviews of printers (he has a fucking degree in plastics manufacturing and shit around 3d printing, his observations are backed by something).Hate his (often shit) subjective takes all you want, but you can't say he does nothing for the community, especially one as full of kiss asses and sycophants as HH.
>>96533482Fucking kek
>>96533156Vince is pretty fair handed but he is also bought and paid for by GW (he is a literal playtester)... So you wonder how much harsher he would be if he didn't want to risk his early access (tbf his channel isn't his livelihood so he is much more free than other slop tubers who live and die on early access to channel people into their patreons)
>>96533158Oh yeah. It was the bone reapers review. That stupid faggot was saying shit like 'send bad Bonereaper players TO HIM' to get them 'straight' or some shit. He was getting called out for it in the comments (among other things says 'this hobby has 'ROUGH EDGES' like so faggot internet tough guy) and he responded like a queer (or through his proxies) before he suddenly deleted all his comments.
>>96533314>>96533329Fucking retards the CARD HAS A BACK
>>96533504If it isn't too much could you do pictures of the lore section?
when someone gets their box, can someone do me a favor and compare a chorf head to the spears soulstone side by side? I wanna see if I can do something there.
>>96533510No. I'm just lowly reposter.
>>96533508The other army of renown kinda turned me off so I guess this is the one for me.
What is the cheapest army that isn't Nighthaunt or Stormcast?
>>96533523ogres but wait a little bit until they get their update.
>>96533483Spearhead often splits and merges units in a non-Battletome compliant way.
>>96533522> Spell to create desolation tokens> No ability to use them because you are in an army of renown so you lose the army special rulesSame with the fucking Regiment. Why are they so damn stupid
>>96533523Blades of Khorne are cheap if you go full Daemons. (Khorne) Daemons Combat Patrol gives you over 800pts of dudes in AoS.
>>96533537gw doesn't want you to use allies, ror are a scam.
>>96533566The combat patrol is gone mi hijo.
>>96533570Oh, I don't buy directly from GW so I had no idea. I bought one just a few weeks ago in my LGS. Guess I am lucky then.The other cheap army I can think about are Kruleboyz. In my country the secondary market is full of their kits being sold for a few bucks thanks to one of those hachette magazines.
>>96533570You can still find it at retailers. Two of them have been sitting on a shelf in my local gaming store for at least a year.
>>96533347>he's 350 pointsThere is no universe where they priced this guy at 350. A mawkrusha is 340.
>>96533605Okay but destruction is destruction
>>96533491>he is a literal playtesterno he isn't.
Insider here, GW management is FURIOUS that the painters boycotted the female heads. They where specifically mandated to give the female heads representation and are being BLACKLISTED.
>>96533314Dox and lynch this imbecile at once
>>96533616I didn’t even notice the lack of female heads, thought that’s probably why I like these a lot more. Also I think this would be better with like, red or a more seared bite than green.
>>96533616leak something else that can be falsified
>>96533537I havent seen the entry for desolation tokens yet, sure it isnt self contained?Do we even know what exactly they do?Also the Smith and Priest have their daemonic PPs buff ability right on their Warscroll.Why would the artillery be different?
>>96533610>Ironjawz is overcostedNothing new here
>LGS sold out of the army box Ehh? Wouldn't have thought they'd be popular
>>96533495IIRC I think it was a different episode because he was literally malding about not being invited for the OBR show because he wanted to be branded as the death guy like how Hey Whoah is the Ogre guy.
>>96533482Kek ghur truly is the best realm
>>96533605>This different unit in a different army with different allegiance abilities is priced differently
>>96533514why would they ever work with skaven
>>96533616Turns out people want their dwarves to have beards and not look like fat orcsCrazy
>>96533508The taurus daemonsmith's mace is actually very cool, should've given that to the chorf Infantry if they were going to be all autistic about hammers
>>96533644Yes retard we use the existing points of units in the game to gauge what things should cost. This unit at 350 would be the most auto include thing in the entire game.
Oh btw here's the points. Supposedly from the aos coach dude's reddit. Take it with a grain of salt as I got it from reddit
Huh, the infantry and the big bull seem to be super easy to magnetize. Maybe I should grab this box over the HH starter after all.
>workupload (.) com /file/hjrmeWNZ9jvWho wants to watch Sigmar's Toll?
>>96533681>cohort blade 100Nice elite army you've got thereThough honestly those points seem retard low in general. 170 for the Bull statue???
>>96533696I'm also a bit sceptical desu
>>96533688Epic. TY anon.
>>96533613> He gets invited to early access events> Gets product early> Plays games with a literal play tester and provides feedbackOh but no, he isn't a play tester we swear :^)
>>96533688based.
>>96533626Desolation tokens are how you generate DPP.Armies of renown lose the army ability to convert desolation tokens into DPP, or to even allocate DPP.
>>96533649Money
>>96533688Very BASED poster.High T, large penis
Is the helsmith armybox the fastest selling AoS armybox to date?
Fluff tidbits I gleaned from hurting my eyes staring at influencer vids>HoH mostly trade with Archaon's forces but will deal with anyone who can make it worth their while, though the goods they provide will usually be inferior make to what they keep themselves>especially greedy Kharadron may seek to trade with them, despite the antipathy between their cultures>Kruleboyz are the oldest clientele but will only deal through hobgrot middlemen because of an old series of wars that neither side knows exactly how they started>these Wars of the Broken Promise culminated in a massive battle at Ur-Zorn where orruks snuck into the ziggurat and made it all the way to Hashut's vacant throne before their hobgrot allies backstabbed them and helped negotiate a peace>Urak Taar is called a living ancestor and is rumored to be so old he aided Hashut in wrenching knowledge from the Realm of Chaos in the Age of Myth>Urak Taar seeks godhood to escape his doomed servitude to Hashut, delving the vaults of Grimnir's Firehold for this purpose>Urak Taar's steed Ghorrakos was made with the souls of Korrok's bullsires and has grown to exhibit rudimentary consciousness, moving without Taar's direction, and he lets this state persists because it will sometimes grumble in prophesy>Urak Taar only speaks of himself in the third person>SCE are viewed with hate and curiosity, because they are Grungni's make and to the HoH he is the Maker of Lies>all non-Zharrdron are looked down on, but Archaon is at least viewed as a guy who has some sound ideas>when the Hour of Ruin happened the HoH immediately set to exterminating rats, only halting because Varanguard emissaries told them this was Archaon's keikaku at work and they should see it as an opportunity>hobgrots have their own version of Zharrdron cuneiform called hobscrawl, used to convey secrets and identify "markz", but is mostly used to lie and misdirect people>people working around Dominator Engines often suffer accidents and misfortune
>>96533719True, though lets be honest like 90% of the printed Armies of Renown are unplayable garbage so this isn't really a new development.
>>96533733>few among the Zharrdron are born with magical talent, and while it officially only happens to those with royal blood, lower clans sometimes see such births, but such children are quickly and often forcefully "adopted" by a daemonsmith or a clan of higher standing>non-sorcerers will sometimes leave their clan to be adopted into another, betraying their birth clan's secrets in the process>at the summit of every ziggurat is located a High Temple of Hashut>the temples are tended by the Scorched Sect, or Drazghar, the high priests of which are called Ashen Elders>bull centaurs are "sanctioned" mutants and others are implied to exist, but are not acknowledged>expectant mothers in Ur-Zorn petition Hashut to be blessed with bull centaur children>bull centaurs are raised by the Drazghar in catacombs, fawned over from birth and heaped with luxury, they tend to develop god complexes as a result, and show little of the patience and stoicism that other duardin hold in virtue, their chambers are often littered with blood and mangled bodies left from their fits of anger>bull centaurs who become Anointed Sentinels and guard the temples wear Hashutaar, bull helmets filled with magic and incense, that empower them to never tire and instill total obeisant loyalty to the Drazghar>Zharr Vyxa is full Dreadfleet, they piratically plunder Shyish's underworlds for resources>though the Vyxian colors are officially saturated red and bunrished gold because of their warmongering ways, their piracy affords individual despots a much greater degree of latitude than in other ziggurats, and many adopt their own colors and symbols to fit their peacocky sensibilities and egos>seemingly all Zharrdron can hear a clanging in their head they believe to be Hashut at work in his forge, which only paused briefly at the Hour of Ruin
>>96533731Back when they made vs boxes they were gone within minutes, but that's all up to stock and scalpers
>>96533731I'm a bit surprised honestly, the initial reveal had a lot of mixed reactions.>>96533733>>96533739Thanks anon. Urak taar seeking to ascend is pretty interesting, seems he's not too big on the servitude to hashut. Also all chorfs having hashutite tinnitus is funny. I wonder if it really is "hashut working in his forge" or if something else is going on.
>>96533715He's not on the review program, he's not a playtester, and they don't do "early access events". If you mean review shows they do those at tournaments and he buys a ticket.
>>96533731It seems to severely stock constrained judging by all the big sellers griping about it before release. So as always it's difficult to say. I'm sure it sold very well though.
>hobgrots have their own version of Zharrdron cuneiform called hobscrawl, used to convey secrets and identify "markz", but is mostly used to lie and misdirect peopleOi vey
I made my pre-order just in time, HoH army set is out of stock. That was fast. Im so happy for my chorfs. What a great day.
>>96533715He uses fucking screen grabs from AOS Cuck and Honest Wargamer in his reviews that go up a week or two late you retard
Zikkit's Tunnelpack is complete. That's the first of the Embergard stuff done. Just six more warbands to do before Spitewood. I want to have all the current, new Embergard warbands collected at some point.These were the fist Skaven I've ever painted and were actually super fun to do!
Shame GW killed any interest in Spearhead in my area with their abysmal release schedule. For a few months everyone here was playing SH over the big AoS but eventually people got bored and moved to other games instead of expanding their armies or dusting off their collections. Now I have no reason to buy the HoH box.
>>96533811>NO! THE PEOPLE I PLAY WITH CAN'T CONSUME CEASELESSLY! GAME SHIT!
LORE QUESTION!How tall is Ushoran. I am referring to lore and art, not the mini itself. Because if you look at this art of him, he is basically gargant sized. I know he towers over his progeny but if you look at the size of various skulls in his fur cloak and compare the size of those skulls with him, he is King Brodd size, only hunched and cover with fur mantle cloak.
Then in this art piece, he does appear a bit smaller.
>>96533832He's stylistically big.
>>96533812I think you missed the point but I am not surprised at all.
>>96533681>$200 burgers for 490 pointswew fucking lad.
>>96533832I think that guy also drew stormcast, Radukar (beast mode) and a random zombie the same height, do i don't think he pays much attention to that
>no mention of the Legion of Azgorh>no mention of Shar'torIt's ogor.
>>96533885Sad, but not ogre yet
>>96533885>Shar'torI was actually hoping we'd get at least a refence to him. The lack of Bull Centaur Taur'ruk in the roster seems done specifically so people can't make use of him or any of the LoA stuff.
>>96533899Sharter was released during aos right? He's technically not ported over from whfb ?
>>96533911Correct.
>>96533911Yes, he never existed in wfb
>>96533885judging by the designers overview they intended for the chamon subfaction to be the legion of azghor, so perhaps we might see shartor redone as a special character for that group like urtak is for the aqshy (?) group
>>96533826>I am referring to lore and art, not the mini itself.The artwork and lore is very inconsistent, in this case refer to the mini first and foremost
>>96533946Do we know any names or other tidbits about any of the chorf 'subfactions' besides the big four?
>>96533899>>96533911Shar'tor is a beautiful sculpt, but he's got that gritty, realistic ForgeWorld-style design that doesn't really fit in with current AoS designs, which are more stylized.
>>96533644It's a pretty easy comparison, battle traits don't do shit this edition.Gw priced them cheap to sell, centaurs for 180 is insane. Can't wait for the inevitable point hike in 6 months after paypigs buy 9 boxes of them.
Do we have any...the fuck was it called?..battle formations or battalions for chorfs?I want to know how many warmachines I can fit into 1 drop.
>>96534005It'll be a great AoA hero
>>96534006Centaurs are the only thing thats too expensive in the tome.
>>96533731after Gitmob GW cut production numbers to 1/4th normal levels
>>96534016do we have any hard evidence of whether Cathay's done well? i often hear contradictory anecdotes clearly poisoned by agendas. gitmob was clearly a flop, on the other hand
>>96533739>>seemingly all Zharrdron can hear a clanging in their head they believe to be Hashut at work in his forge, which only paused briefly at the Hour of Ruinman, chaos tinnitus must be one hell of an issue
Uh oh here comes the retardation squad
>>96533733>>96533739cool stuff
>>96534026Anecdotes is mostly all you’ll get. The only useful data would be sales figures from GW and those aren’t be shown anytime soon. Anecdotally though, I have a buddy who plays TOW and he was complaining that Cathay rules were OP when they launched. He speculated it was to help appease the Chinese audience, but clearly there will never be proof of that either for or against
>>96534026my sources tell me TOW had it's second edition plans scrapped for something less ambitious based on Cathay sales. Lots of plastics are being repurposed for Warcry/UW now
>>96534078>Lots of plastics are being repurposed for Warcry/UW nowgod i hope that's true
>>96534026It was "sold out" 5 times on day 1 and was "restocked" every time anyone went to check the store
>>96534026outside of videos on YouTube of LGS owners, you're not going to get strong data, which is due to GW being the distributor so they hold all the infomation
>>96532510>man feetYikes.
>ogors aren't gorsFucked up.
>>96533688cheers anon
>>96534128
>>96534131
>>96534133
>>96534114common misconception, they're not O-gors, they're 0-gors, of course they would have no gor in them.
>>96533733>>96533739But what about Muspelzharr?
>>96534173I see.
>>96534173lmao
>>96533753He has straight up said he went to an early access event for AoS 4.0 where they answered questions and laid out the design philosophy for the new edition (as well as shilled spearhead). He literally talks about it on the show.Bro if you are so fucking uninformed just ... Don't respond. Just walk away.
Hey so dumb questionAre those Lumineth elemental spirits something that just exists on Hysh, or do they show up up the other realms?
>>96533733Doing the lords work anon
>>96534245They also exist in other realms, yeah.
>>96534258Neat, gonna make a Chamon Spirit Of The Mountain then.
>>96534245Other Realms. Some mountains, rivers etc have spirits, most don't.
>>96534245Land spirits are everywhere, in most cases they're not as awake as they're in hysh because hysh is the land of enlightenment, I guess it would take a lumineth tending to them to awaken them properly like it happens in hysh, you could easily rationalising it as the lumineth trying to fix whatever issue the land of another realm has, and doing so entails awakening the spirit of a certain place.
>>96534241he was talking about adepticon you fucking cretin.
>>96533514the priest regiment of renown doesn't work because there's no way to give out desolation tokens unless the main faction is helsmiths LMAO GW what are you doing
>>96534418a cautionary tale for Chorfs that try to abandon the ziggurats and work with outsiders
>>96533514GW rules team must be such an insane second thought to the company for this shit to happen
>>96534418It's weird because they went out of their way to make sure the other RoR worked without the Helsmiths trait
>>96534447They're paid barely better than minimum wage. You think the game would be such a shitshow if GW actually cared about the game part of the hobby?
>>96534078That would be great, and fucking hilarious hahaha. WHF/TOW double dead
>>96534005I usually dislike the forgeworld style but this guy turned out quite well, only thing I' not a fan of are his hands.I'm curious how much copies of this guy they managed to sell. 50?>>96534026Anecdotes is all we have. I think some people were talking about stock for major retailers like wayland games or something but I don't think much useful information ever came out of that. It's also very area dependant imo. Where I live nobody cared about cathay even though there's a decent tow base, but I heard in america they're a lot more popular, relatively speaking.
so, a spearhead box plus codex counts as "army set" now?
>>96534531It’s less an army set and more of a spearhead setIt’s fucking weird, I think gw is really trying to test the waters here for something else.
>>96534531yeah, whack. but it's only like 180 burgerbucks
>>96534545>only
>>96534531Not a bad deal actually, general populace that can't get the box due to instant sell out/scalpers doesn't miss out on much, and scalpers don't get anything to scalpers that people will actually pay out the nose for since the only exclusive is a tome.Good start for people who want it, but doesn't cater to the sleepy secondary market fomo. Good move on their part for once
>>96534576Sleazy*
>>96534418The RoR works fine?It counts as having 3 daemonic PPs and the warscroll has the instructions.The Ziggurat Stampede is the one with a useless token.The whole thing is useless, there is nothing here worth replacing the better default lores with, especially if you rip out the main mechanic of the army.
Bit of news about lores and whatnothttps://cubicle7games.com/en_EU/blog/chaos-magic-and-skaven-engineering
>>96534595He means the Seeker of the Dread Dirge RoR.
>>96534598>still no release date Fine I’ve waited this long anyway.
>Such is the self-absorption and pride of the hosts sworn to the Forge Anathema — and to Urak Taar, a living ancestor — that they can conceive of no more fitting symbol than their own snarling, flame-wreathed image.>Alone of the great ziggurats, Ur-Zorn dares to assume the tauroid visage of Hashut as its primary icon — as is fitting for the Bullfather's most sacred citadel, at least so the ancient hierarchs of the Scorched Sect teach.>Many Vyxian hosts sport their own icons, but all bow before the symbol of a fist seizing lightning — for it speaks to their ability to seize the fundaments of creation and the essential spark of the soul.>The banners of Muspelzharr depict a chained anvil, for there is no form of craft that its warped magocratic masters will not seek to control in all particulars should the urge strike them.
>>96534557it's substantially cheaper than the bulkier army sets
>>96534611About a month and a half ago the CEO stated in an interview with Wargamer that the game would be released "in the next two months" so we're plausibly looking at a late September or early October release. Unless there's a schedule slip and they miss the expected release date, which is also very plausible given their track record.
Do your part and play 1000 point games and/or Spearhead. The 2k default must be dethroned.
Cursed City is gone WHQ Nurgle this Christmas
>>96534576Helsmiths is going to be a $800 for 2k army.
>>96534531it's kind of weird, it really is just a spearhead + battletome pricewise. Spearheads are usually 115 yuro; battletomes 47, this box costs 155. A bit cheaper than usual boxes, but still can't feel great shelling out 150+ for 14 minis and a book.>>96534690>we're approaching 40k pricingbros i'm scared
>>96534611I would expect the PDF in the next two weeks, which fits with how they advertised the blog worked for WFRP and TOWRPG books
>>96534690Looks like it's about average as far as prices goNowhere near as bad as gitmob
>>96534595>It counts as having 3 daemonic PPsDAEMONIC PEEPEE

>>96533649WarpstoneOpportunity to take a peek at skryre devices (solely to scoff at their inferiority, definitely not to try to prise some technological secrets!)

>>96534662FUUUUCK I WAS GONNA GET THAT FOR CHRISTMAS FUUUCK GOD DAMMMNNNNIITT
>>96533688it's so jarring to see so few Skaven that they seem heroic. Likewise the empty city and skirmishes of just 3 prosecutors. I like the style but the execution is woeful
>>96534866contributin to the edits
>>96534873I know it's only 20 minutes, but it feels like they could have upped the pace and squeezed a bit more story in there. The second conversation between the grey seer and the commander felt like a pointless rehash of the first, we didn't learn anything new and nothing else developed. Not sure what the budget is on this thing but I'm guessing it's on the lower end with how much time the camera was zoomed way the hell in on characters faces. For people who have watched Black Talon, how does that compare?
>>96534885black talon is like a bad 00s flash animation on newgrounds
>>96534662>>96534867I still see it available to buy on the GW site.
>>96534881godly
>>96534940UK represents the standard, other regions may have stock but that's because of rolling changes and stock management
are you fucking kidding me man? I get it being out of stock on warpfire minis but I was betting it still being there on the main warhammer site.
>Helsmiths: All other duadrin peoples are weak and cowardly because they ran and hid in the Age of Chaos while we stayed and endured>Anon: But the Fyreslayers stood their ground and fought tooth and nail for the entirety of the Age of Chaos>Helsmiths: Well, their god is dead, but Hashut lives!>Anon: Grimnir died before the Age of Chaos, though>Helsmiths.: SHUT UP!Helsmith hating the slayers makes no sense. They come off as retarded.
>>96534960they only made 150 after Shitmob flopped
>>96534966>Fyreslayers stood their ground and fought tooth and nail for the entirety of the Age of ChaosFyreslayers closed their holds and stayed within. Some Fyrds left for war but it obviously wasn't the majority
>>96534973I am going off by their lore writer's article on Warcom.If it's true what you said, then they did exactly as the Helsmiths. So why the hate and sense of superority against them?
>>96534988The only thing religious zealots hate more than religions that are different to theirs are religions that are similar to theirs
>>96534960i'm really mad. not going to buy a scalperbox on principle.
>>96534881Top tier
the green helsmiths army from the community article is throwing downhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CA4PEiuPdrU&ab_channel=TheHobbyCollab
>>96534531Is this your first armyset? Literally all of them give you three units and a hero, exactly like spearhead. This one is only unusual in that the contents are exactly the same as the spearhead instead of slightly different, and the price is considerably lower compared to the ones that came out just this year.
>>96534576Yeah, it's less sleezy than normal GW, but the hidden pain point is that they're not actually going to release the spearhead for 6-8 months after the full army release. So if you don't grab the armybox, and you don't want to drop full price on, uh...half the army because you're not an idiot you basically can't actually start the army for another half a year or more, that's the hidden lever. I personally managed to snag a box from some tiny online store last night, but I had a moment to realize that if I didn't get it that there was basically no point in buying Chorfs at all until mid-late 2026.That said, scalping the box is retarded because only a truly desperate idiot is gonna pay $300 for what is basically an early access spearhead. You might as well just buy individual kits at that point.
>>96535084With that scheme, you just knew the dude would look like a attention seeking flamboyant fag.
>>96535147>he writes lists before the army is at least in its second edition
>>96535147its usually about 1 month early for the army sets. they for sure want to get this stuff out for christmas
>>96535174One month for the normal release, 6+ months for the spearhead, just like Gitmob and Skellies, and Seraphon and every other Army Box. Trust me, I know these things.
>>96532623At least 3 guys at my store started CoS and mostly stuck with it
>>96535179thats not gonna happen. they're not gonna delay the armies spearhead to almost the end of the edition
>>96535186The CoS armybox was kinda lame, like you need Steelhelms but they're the worst looking and least useful unit in the (refreshed) army and that was most of the box.
>>96535198thats not gonna happen. they're not gonna delay the armies spearhead to almost the end of the editionThey will. They always do. They literally did it with CoS not long ago, released the spearhead in April 2024 just a few months before the edition drop. They released the Darkoath spearhead AFTER the edition drop. Honestly, the six to eight month policy is already GW being generous. New armies like LRL and OBR had to wait eons for their first SC/Spearhead box.
bonereapers already got their second spearhead albiet
>>96535147Surely that's gotta hurt gw right? With shitmob sovlblight there were already existing armies with existing starts collecting, for a brand new army like chorfs you gotta have an easy entrypoint. I assume they'll restock the chorf box soon enough, to keep that entry point open till the spearhead. But maybe that's just a load of copium on my part.
>>96535264It's standard practice for a new army release. GW wants to pressure as many people as possible into paying full price for the brand new models before they release the discount set to pick up the people who were waiting for it before jumping in.
if i can't find a box in my flyover LGS stores then i'm not going to buy a single AoS kit until the chorf spearhead drops. bravo, James
>>96534951Is it worth it to buy the Cursed City set just for the models in it? Seems like there's quite a few models that are unique to the box and not available outside of it.
>>96535322I know they're dwarfs and all but that's pretty small. Hearthkyn are not big and they're mogging the Chorfs.
>>96535326Just keep in mind that all of the unique models are legends only, so outside the board game itself you can only really use them as proxies.
>>96535322Is it weird that all I see is beady little eyes and a mustache on the Hearthkyn? Looks like the Pringles man.
>>96535322>Island of blood night goblin and dwarf warrior
Anyone got a scan of Sand and Bone?
>>96535322The contrast between the handgunner's chimpanzee face and the vindicator's gigachad mask is killing me
I still don't know if I like the Jade Warrior model or not.
>>96535412That was meant for >>96535322
>>96534531Are you really surprised?
>>96535421That’s not a spearhead doe.Also damn I wish I was a better painter so I could buy lumis.
>>96535428>Also damn I wish I was a better painter so I could buy lumis.Same :( I want to paint 'em up as Blood Elves but shit at painting.
>>96535428Dont really get what people mean when they say lumies are hard to paint, theres some trim, but its far from being the worst, and you could easily just not paint it a different color from the rest of the armor, fuck, thats literally how the GW team did Eltharion
>>96535428>That’s not a spearhead doe.>2 units and a heroThat's less than a Spearhead
>>96535445I kinda understand both sides. I painted up some Lumi's and it wasn't the worst experience but I'd just rather paint almost anything else.
>>96535428They're easier than they seem. Lots of flat, open spaces, very well defined trim, and few extraneous accoutrements. It always puzzles me that people put them on the level of Slaanesh. Now, my issues with them lie in the assembly/sprue design.>>96535445>and you could easily just not paint it a different color from the rest of the armorExactly what I did. In my photoshop mockups painting the trim in my case felt too busy.
>>96535453I assume its mostly because elves are supposed to be "clean" in the wat they are painted, if you are painting anyone else theres some give in how clean your paintjob can be to noot look bad, but on elves smudges and whatnot just stand out way more
>>96535084>the non was responsible for the garish color schemeno suprise
>>96535506HoH scans when? gotta sodomize the fluff
>>96535457>flat, open spacesFlats are the worst for me, so hard to do something interesting with them.
>>96535659the good news is that the new chorf cuneiform shouldn't be too hard to carve onto models
>>96533008Nothing to highlight, but the 6th edition is where they will shine alongside the other destruction factions.
Why do hobgrots have stubby baby legs?
>>96533345You might get some mileage out of the WB transfers.
>>96533826Their size varies depending on the need of the plot, something similar happens with the gargants, where sometimes they are 4 to 6 times the size of a man and other times where they can carry ships in their hands.
>>96535769Gorkamorka cursed them with manletism for betraying their fellow greenskins or at least that's what I choose to believe
>>96535769It is a characteristic that all greenskins have: short legs and long spleens.
>>96535804Their curse is to no longer be green and it was Gorko who cursed them, not Garkamorka.
>>96533782>That's the first of the Embergard stuff donePeople play that?Also, looking good anon
>>96535769Monkey thing
>>96533733>>Kruleboyz are the oldest clientele but will only deal through hobgrot middlemen because of an old series of wars that neither side knows exactly how they started>>these Wars of the Broken Promise culminated in a massive battle at Ur-Zorn where orruks snuck into the ziggurat and made it all the way to Hashut's vacant throne before their hobgrot allies backstabbed them and helped negotiate a peace>So the Kruleboyz and the Helsmiths of the Ur-Zorn subfaction team up during the Age of Chaos to wipe out the Duardin Karaks. Then they get really drunk at a victory party, end up swearing an oath of eternal friendship, and when they sober up they realize they absolutely despise each other and would never want an actual alliance. Then there is a mysterious incident involving an exploding weapons shipment that kills both of the warlords that swore that oath, with both sides taking responsibility for that incident claiming to have betrayed the other in order to save face.
>>96535926absolute tomfoolery
>>96532200>If you could add one more kit to the HoH lineup, what would it be?trains
>>96535932Good god do I want new lesser daemon kits
>>96535980you won't get them
I'm still mad the Hobgrots aren't visually coherent and their roles aren't complimentary. >Ranged Hobgrots>Tougher melee Hobgrots>Mounted Hobgrots Any of the three would've worked better
>>96535986People said that about clanrats before
>>96536001>Mounted HobgrotsI really want these. It's like the only thing missing from the OG Chorf army. Oh, and that retarded flying cow with a dwarf face but the less of those we have the better.
>>96536001the point is being sacrificial chaff, not an anvil, not a gunline, not cavalry
>>96536001>>Mounted HobgrotsEssentially gitmob.>not hobgrotsEssentially they are.
>>96536013Skaven got a starter set treatment.
>>96536014>It's like the only thing missing from the OG Chorf army.K'daai are missing and I don't count the Dominator because it's one big guy and not elite infantry>Oh, and that retarded flying cow with a dwarf face but the less of those we have the better.Judging by the HoH book's lore teasing we are probably actually getting that down the line, sorry
>>96532200>tqElite infantry, infernal guard equivalentThat or proper blunderbusses. I appreciate that they tried something new but I'm just not a fan of the razers. Probably my least favourite part of the range.
>>96536031>K'daai are missingThey aren't in the OG Chorf army retard cuntbag. Those are the later Forgeworld shite.
>>96535932GW edginf tzeentch lovers with updated horros in the silver tower, and then making a proper kit out of all tzeentch stuff from that box EXCEPT horros is an insane level of cockblocking
>>96536031>Judging by the HoH book's lore teasing we are probably actually getting that down the line, sorryNTA but I actually like the goofy af Lammasu so this makes me happy. Will probably be a lot less derp though in AoS sadly.
>>96536057Calm down dude god damnAin't no way to act over a mistakeWhat the actual fuck are you even mad about? How did ME fucking up bother YOU?
>>96536063The DoT got some cool daemons in Underworlds that would be awesome to see expanded into a proper unit.
>>96536063Weren't both blue and brim horrors made after Silver Tower?
>>96535769They got punched in the beong manlets by the other Greenskinspage 1
>>96536084That i do not know, but pink horrors are ugly as fuck
>>96536087page 2
>>96536084Yeah, but he means pink horrors, which are older.
>>96532200>>Thread question:>If you could add one more kit to the HoH lineup, what would it be?train with a choice of 3 options: skullcracker arms, dreadquake mortar, troops (& demon barrells) wagon

>>96536124I do greatly prefer him to the regular Magister, who I always thought looked awful.
>>96536082their spearhead is still technically a vanguard set so they really deserve an update that could hopefully expand on the acid trip monsters >>96536124he's not bad, but almost quaint compared to other units they have
>>96534108>Strong feet*
>>96532200>TQAshen Elder/War Despot on a mount, I guess.
>>96536082The daemons in this actually look like they're beings of pure madness, while the current horrors look like actual dogshit.
>>96536137still my favorite unit in anything
>>96536166Wish GW made some alt version of Cursling so they can get more creative with the "demon familiar fused to a guy" thing. Like maybe a chestburster one, or a demon and angel on shoulder thing
>>96536124I wish the new Underworld cards had this aesthetic instead of being fucking blank and using mini photography
>>96536179their chaff units should be variants of that instead of barbarians who apparently used to be wizards but don't use any magic
>Helsmiths of Sunk Cost Fallacy
>>96536195They're like He-Man. Being swole is the magic.
>>96536082Eh, the only one I really like is the wizard.>half melted tzaangor>a fish with some tentacles and teeth around it's eye>an eyeball with 5 arms>a pink horror with its mouth on sidewaysI know it's intentional, but I don't like that the others look deformed and incomplete.
>>96536187Promos given out in some events have art back, so GW knows that idea was a flop
>>96536195Don't they have magic missile shooting attacks? That's about as powerful as every Psycher in 40kek
>>96536137fucking love the gaunt summoner
>>96536237That picture is ADORABLE
