I honestly have no idea. If we can believe the boole stories they had the whole range worked out during season of war before they had to scrap the whole thing because gw's spreadsheet autism and them being too similar to tow normal dwarfs.
Valaya has been VERY prominent in the hashut fluff, so I assume we'll see some units dedicated to her in the same way fyreslayers are to grimnir. Maybe some stereotypical valkyrie/shieldmaiden stuff.
For nu-fyreslayers I hope to see some heavily armoured draconic stuff, always liked the vulcatrix angle. Picrel is concept art for stormcast but works as dwarf too.
>>
>>96574270
I liked these little trailers. GW kinda stopped doing them after 3e launched. Jon Cave and Firat Solhan also got much less work since then, and that's too bad, because some of what they put out was nice.

What other aspects of death/undeath do we have to explore though? We have ghouls, ghosts, gargoyles, zombies, vampires and skeletons...
What's (you)r faction idea anon? We should have Nagash statesman jiangshi who guide people's souls and manage the overal body of Nagash's grand plan with samurais as bodyguards, working as a spiritual sucessor to cathay and nipon the same way FeC are to Bretonnia. Give them weird asian mythological creatures too.
Also a FeC expansion...

Also the playable archetypes were revealed the other day.
>Blades of Khorne - Deathbringer, Skullgrinder, Slaughterpriest
>Disciples of Tzeentch - Magister, Ogroid Thaumaturge, Tzaangor
>Hedonites of Slaanesh - Myrmidesh Painbringers, Shardspeaker, Slaangor, Symbaresh Twinsouls
>Maggotkin of Nurgle - Harbinger of Decay, Putrid Blightking, Rotbringer Sorcerer
>Skaven Clans - Deathmaster, Grey Seer, Master Moulder, Plague Priest, Stormvermin, Warlock Engineer
>Slaves to Darkness - Chaos Sorcerer, Chaos Warrior, Darkoath Chieftain, Ogroid Myrmidon
I've no idea if there's anything that mechanically would preclude it, so I assume many of these archetypes could be played using the racial templates from a different GA. So a sylvaneth Symbaresh Twinsoul or an aelf Blightking, and so on. But once the book drops this should be made clear.

GW wants to avoid Jiangshi for Cathaian Jade-blooded Vampires, so I would guess they would be avoided in AoS as well.

I don't know if this is an unpopular take but literally anything with ghosts. Nighthaunt somehow has ONE design for ghosts and that's it, nothing else. An entire faction of default skull face bedsheets. With the exception of the black coach which is just a horse drawn cart, their only other centerpiece model is also a bedsheet ghost. Spirits are ethereal and can look like anything, possess anything, be whatever shapes, size, colors they want but it's all just green and black bedsheets. Adding something like Jiangshi would literally double the number of ghost designs the faction has, and it desperately needs more. For death in general, I think more gargoyles would be tight, and more deadspace-esque fleshpile monstrosities would be good too. Ribs sticking out the back, masses of limbs and eyes, arms ripped off with sharpened down bone points. Stuff like that would be really cool and add more visual flair to the zombies.
>>
>>96575578
Nightmare pirates that manifest from people's fears. They strike fast and whoever they don't kill are left as husks that perpetuate the spread of nightmares. Their forms are malleable and their powers draw more from the lore of shadows than of death, but are still subject to Nagash's control. They can cause reality to feel like a dream and dreams to be dangerously real? That dream where your teeth fell out? Really happened? That feeling like you're running away but never moving? It's true. Dreamt about peeing?
Look down.

That just sounds like the Uglu shadow daemons Malerion and Morathi have deals with. Pretty sure in AoS dreams and nightmares are also strictly associated with Uglu and not Shyish so Nagash wouldn't have any leverage there.

Literally anything but more bedsheet ghosts. They're cool, I love them, but my god there are other ways to depict spirits in plastic. Haunted armor, large warmachines powered by burning souls. Something different.
>OBR
Don't care or know much about them, but maybe a bone giant. Something so filled with various souls that it can't make a coherent personality and maybe resists the bonecrafting? So part of it is sculpted but part is also just big natural bones from a gargant.
>Soulblight
Just anything that isn't Vyrkos, please. Other vampire dynasties would be nice. A greater range of widely available Wight King options would be nice too instead of the two standard and the several that are near impossible to get right now. If I had to settle on one thing though, a lich wizard so bone armies can be fully independent from the fleshies.

Uhh idk. Maybe give them some ranged since they think themselves not!Bretonnia and they already have a beast hunting band

Find a group who plays near you and ask for an intro game.
In the mean time, starting painting up your army.
>>96576646
Spearhead doesn't really teach you how to play 'matched play' AoS and the army units and rules are different from the main game. Not saying it isn't fun but there aren't any meaningful concepts that transfer over that you don't already know from just playing GW wargames in general

You can do that on the GW website, sure.
>>
>>96576698

Maybe I'm the only one to do this, but I jumped from playing TWW3 to trying to get into AoS with no in between steps so it's a bit overwhelming trying to figure out what I even need to get started. I know spearhead doesn't transfer much to normal AoS, but I'd rather dip my toes in with a simpler ruleset before committing fully to buying a 2k point army
>>
>>96576712
yeah I blame him for being written poorly and removing one of the coolest and most unique factions. I know settra couldn't have existed with nagash, but fuck me, aren't there enough big name baddies in the setting? why also nagash

Nagash did nothing wrong.
>>
>>96576774
>yeah I blame him for being written poorly and removing one of the coolest and most unique factions
Well, you really shouldn't, even without settra, or with only the 8th ed plastic kits, tomb kings could have survived as a death microfaction with a focus on the stone constructs perfectly and with renewed success.

They didn't survive not because nagash killed them, nagash had actual control over the kangs in the end and aos could have had similar cultures like it had all others, no problem, but gw saw they were one of the least selling ranges back in fantasy, misunderstood or didn't care about the real reasons of the insuccess, and deleted them.

nagash is innocent..

Brvtal trvke:
Even if people flanderize him to hell and back deep down out of all the gods in AoS Nagash is the only one that truly feels like and comes across as a mortal ascended to godhood full stop unlike all the other comeback crew pricks. Maybe because he was like that in Fantasy to begin with but still

Now bringing this again >>96577156, there was a Mortarch that was a Pirate in Wlrld-That-Was. Luthor Harkon, Mortarch of Abyss.

>>96577185
It's insane he is arguably the oldest being in Warhammer AoS by virtue of being the Oldest Slann in Fantasy.
If there's a thousand or two Eras between the creation of Mortal Realms and current age, he may be more than 10k years.

> My posts mentions skills transferred from PLAYING GW WARGAMES
> You: well I'm coming from TWW3
TWW3 isn't a GW wargame and has zero transferable skills to playing a table top wargame besides vaguely recognizing the units on the table from playing a Vidya gaem.
I would argue that the Spearhead experience is so far removed from playing mainline, 2k 'matched play' AoS that liking one (in this case spearhead) will in no way lead to liking the other (and vis versa).
If you want to try AoS, ask for an intro game and a loaner army; they should be walking you through every step, basic strategy, etc. It will take hours, but it will let you know if you want to build, paint, and play the game.

The Age predating Sigmar's discovery by Dracothian was millions of years, wasn't it? Plus he's already significantly older than that just in Fantasy since the first Spawning was about 15,000 years before the birth of Sigmar.

They usualy looks good anyway. The problem is that they all largely look the same.

>liking spearhead doesn't correlate to liking AoS
well that's annoying, considering how much it's marketed as "baby's first AoS" game
>ask for a loaner army
My LGS had people offering to teach people Mordheim, but I don't know that they would be willing to teach me AoS. How many players even have multiple armies laying around?
>>
>>96577236
>It's insane he is arguably the oldest being in Warhammer AoS
Depends on how we're counting.
Some would argue being dead doesn't count, or that a mixture of either stasis/time dilation meant others might have technically been around longer, even if not before.
We also have a big question mark regarding the age of krakanrok the black, because the fucker is still around in aos as far as I know and he might be older than the arrival of the old ones on the old world.

I think you could probably pick 3 random colours out of a bag. One random shadow, one random midtone, and one random highlight, and even if they were all different tones they would still look pretty sweet.

Nagash is my favorite for being such a fun character. Honestly, for many factions, characters are what drive it. It's why something like Blood Angels will outdo Iron Hands. Mephiston, Lemartes, Dante to just name 3.

The undead have so many fun characters that date back eons now. Mannfred, Arkhan, Neferata, Ushoran, etc. All of them have massive egos that can back it up often, and just have a massive presence.

The funny part about Nagash is, for as evil and egomaniacal as he is, his plan really would end the threat of chaos. It's just that it would kill everything else in the process leaving only him. It's why the Necroquake was such a fun story. He was an inch away from complete victory, and the rats hilariously muck it up again.

Besides being a bad guy, it's why you can't let him win with a black pyramid, it's actually an end game move.

>>
>>96579643
Age of sigmar didn't really kill warhammer, it was the old family dog getting slower, which gw then put down (a bit before his time probably). Even if aos was never in the cards they still would've done an end times event to squeeze the last amount of money out of fantasy players they could. Probably would've been not as rushed though. Now what you CAN blame aos for is that GW then immediately dug up the remains of said family dog, removed and rearranged its limbs to now form the shape of a cat, and then presented it to the kids as the new puppy.
>>96580013
I really doubt that, since they didn't allocate that much stock to it in the first place and it seems to have done fairly well.

Yeah near the end of fantasy's lifespan gw prioritized squeezing the remaining players instead of trying to appeal to new blood.
Does make one wonder if they kept fantasy around with total war, would it have made much of a difference in the end? Provided they didn't make some big changes structure-wise I think it was going to be a hard sell.

Considering they'd still have sold the same ancient sculpts like they're doing now after the supposed "refresh"? Not really. TOW had to happen because there was no other way forward than redoing the whole thing, but fantasy players, like battle tech players, are the kind to have kept the game alive despite the gross mismanagement by the company, so if TOW also dies, it won't matter to them.

Nta but the new spearhead is pretty good and pairs decently with the old one. Hunters of huanchi are great little technical guys, more saurus warriors are nice and the sunblood buffs them (and maybe kroxigors too I don't remember).

I painted Zikkit and friends up for Underworlds but like the models so much I wanna use 'em in more than just that.
The Tunnelpack Legends rules in full fat AoS are kinda "meh" so I'm planning to use Zikkit as my Warlock Engineer or Arch-Warlock on the tabletop and scatter the rest amid other units.
Nitch Singe-snout in the Acolyte Globadiers, Krittatok in Clanrats etc.
Can Rittak Verm (Wheelboi) be used as a Doom Flayer or is he too small? I really adore his model and would love to slap him down on the tabletop.

Exactly. And considering how different the Underworlds/Warcry bands can be it's shocking that all of the Nurgle ones have been pretty generic. Just basic Nurgle themes with some unique sculpts.
>>
Apparently Muspelzharr is kind of a shithole. As in the land itself is so polluted and shit that Zharrdron find it a health hazard, other parts of their empire treat reassignment to that place like a form of punishment. The smoke will burn the lungs, the rain will transmute the eyes and make the skin boil. Survival is made possible through nullstone and daemonic metal grafts applied by their sorcerers. Their craftsmen are said to spend a lot of effort on simply prettying up their equipment because of how rapidly it corrodes just by being there.

It just hit me that we still don't have official artwork of most of the bonereaper legions that have had rules these past couple editions. It's all the mortis praetorian dudes and one broken realms box art depicting a stalliarch lord.
>>
Make some Underworlds/Warcry warbands for factions you'd like to see.
>Slaanesh musicians
An alt sculpt of the Infernal Rapturess with other fucked up musicians (bagpiper made of a still living person that screams when you blow into it, fleshy drums, etc.)
>Slaanesh gluttons
A glutton and his band of food hunters and chefs. Bonus points for the glutton being emaciated and unable to eat his fill like Tarrare
>Nighthaunt haunted armor
Different styles and eras of armor animated by ghosts. Maybe one classic bedsheet ghost so it's recognizable as Nighthaunt
>Seraphon spawnkin
Skink hunting band with one riding on a Kroxigor. Lead by a Skink chief instead of a priest
>Seraphon cohort of Sotek
Warband lead by a new Tehenhauin with bulkier and more vicious looking skinks
>Soulblight blood knight band
Blood knights on foot. Potentially just one blood knight accompanied by undead servants
>>
>>96581386
Tbh the 'joy' element of nurgle is overemphasized imo. It's encapsulated in the great unclean ones, the beasts of nurgle, and select champions, as well as in nurglings.

But the vast majority of his significantly-sentient servants (plaguebearers) are gloomy and morose. Likewise the rot flies are spiteful and malicious, not joyous in aspect. As for his mortal servants, it's very common for his mortal servants to have very depresso, nihilistic philosophical perspectives, accepting entropy as the ultimate truth. Take for example the The Crow tribe from Warhammer Fantasy.
>>
>>96581649
Subfactions artwork that don't deviate from the models to show their distinct culture are worthless.

Also, gold is one of the most non-reactive metals on the periodic table. It can be tarnished, but it doesn't naturally corrode.

That could be a cities of sigmar banner for all I care. Old banners were based and full of energy and vibrancy, new banners look like modern corporate logos.

Helsmiths are just edgy dispossessed in design and lore. So that checks out

I hope the haunted armour stuff becomes an actual unit, so I'd prefer if they didn't ""waste"" the concept on a three man underworlds squad. Bulky skinks, basically aos' version of redcrests would be cool though.
>>
>>96580013
Realistically it seems obvious they wouldn't sell? The Chinese inspiration stands out as something never catered to before most of all in the context of Warhammer (video game fags don't play tt)
Depends on their expectations. As a new release they might've expected more than every other army but what they got was something in that range from the previous releases. GW are a Jew public company let's remember, the shareholders would like a record breaking year every year

>>
>>96581979
I mean nothing really stops GW from doing one and then the other. Isn't the whole point of these smaller warbands to give them room to do stuff that isn't strictly within the design parameters of a faction? I want GW to get weirder with them. Some I can't even tell at a glance what faction or even what GA they're for, like Jade Obelisk for example. And that's a good thing. Let's them do more than just "standard sculpt in a different pose" like the Nighthaunt ones for example.

>>96582734

It doesn't really fit the other mortal models since the other two mounted models are on creatures that don't fly, I don't think the Blight King looks good atop the fly and I hate how it's connected to the base via tactical legs on rocks and chains.

>Honestly the new Bret pregasus
Shit there's a cool af idea. Hadn't thought of that.

I've seen someone slap the riders on plague toads, I guess that could work if boingrots fly too

>>96582723
I feel like the warcry boxes and warbands are way underrated. Someone at our lgs uses them for dnd for depicting multiple weapon options for their player characters and small groups of npcs and it seems like a really cool alternative to buying those pricy multipart dnd character boxes or buying multiple kits to kitbash a single guy out of
>>
>>96582727
I think the only stuff I like from the aos nurgle line is blightkings, the horse lord, the foot lord, and the snail guy. Everything else is so cartoony which I do understand is part of their aesthetic since forever, it's just not to my tastes

They're easily the most interesting, characterful, and best sculpted models GW puts out. The main line models are usually more "safe" while the warbands are more free to be different.

Very good. The rust looks great and the white bone is my preferred bone color. The base is pretty boring, but I'm not a great base maker either. I can also see the seam on the hood, which could be fixed with either thin plastic glue to melt and file it, or a small amount of greenstuff.

I don't see a seam on the official photos, but those might be fixed up. GW also apparently delisted it from the store at some point, which is pretty gay.
Did you use Typhus Corrosion or some kind of texture on the rust? I didn't notice it before.

Wait wtf they actually did why though, its a great mini
Yeah before priming it I slapped on some typhus corrosion, base coat of iron warriors, put an enamel wash over it, then played around with a mix of dark red rust pigment powder and ryza rust after dabbing some of it away, drybrushed iron warriors at the end in specific spots
>>
>>96583060
Before priming is interesting. I assume because it's thicker it sticks well?
The probably stopped selling it because it's old and cheap. I fully expect the old Wight King and Necromancer to go away at some point because GW can't be having hero models sell for under $20.
>>
>>96583060
Wouldn't be the first time they've gone and squatted a model (or a whole set) with nary a 'by your leave'.
>>
>>96583073
Correct, besides typhus corrosion, liquid green stuff or any similar texture paste does well too, I almost always do this when it comes to metals
>>96583073

I love the way they handle small details on the warcry team. Things like the little hidden third hand on the Cypher lords leader are such nice little touches. My dream Christmas battle force is 1 unit of all the season 1 warcry warbrands and a darkoath chieftain or something so you could just smash them all together into really unique marauders
>>
>>96583163
I have hopes in Warcry warbands returning as limited run items like the UW warbands, but 40k kill team seems deadset on the opposite side maybe it's an outlier
>>
What's with warcry anyway? The HoH news had me thinking we're back but then recently the rumour people said it's not looking good? Something like that?
>>
>>96583126
Would I be able to use just any texture paste, probably thinned down? I have a think of vallejo mud and I imagine that, aside from thickness, it's basically the same shit. Acrylic pant mixed with fine sand.
>>
>>96583395
Well they said that Warcry is making a comeback, so it's not out of the realm of possibility. 40k Killteam boxes tend to just get made into standard units after a while though. Which would be great if AOS did that instead of just taking a pretty new (by historical standards) kit off the store after just a few years.
It still blows my mind that GW went from keeping the same sculpts on sale for 20+ years in some cases to making plastic kits that they sell for a single "season" of a game that by all rights should have seasons and the discontinue them. This isn't fucking Fortnite or whatever. Minis are durable products that people should expect to be able to purchase and use for many years after release.
>>
>>96583443
It had an update recently with more promised. A new edition is due but the system was abandoned for over a year due to Spearhead and then the lead designer leaving, so who knows what will happen regarding that.
It's definitely alive but it might just be conversion rules like HoH for a while
>>
>>96583485
Oh I'm not sure if ANY texture paste will do, I mainly meant the Citad Astrogranite and the debris one, but honestly typhus corrosion is still my go to
>>
>>96583554
Also most of the warbands aren't sold for Warcry anymore, which would imply we're getting a new batch... Unless they really expect people to play without cards and find the rules online only
