Maggotkin Edition>Previously in the Mortal Realms:>>96639118 >Official AoS website:https://www.ageofsigmar.com>Downloads, Rules Errata and FAQs:https://www.warhammer-community.com/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-downloads/>Toolshttps://runebrush.pa-sy.com/warscroll/>Anvil of Apotheosis hero creator:https://aosg.github.io/>Thread question:What new Nurgle character would you add?
>>96649806Thank god new thread.But supposedly they're already adding a festus, I'd love if he was in a giant hospital cart with nurglings and not just big unga bunga smash guy but we'll see. I'm trying to think of other archetypes and honestly just some more "normal" culty types of guys with more subtle symbology, would be funny having a hero who can like "convert people" with an ability wherein they take models from an enemy unit and bulk up your guys.
>TQThey don’t really need them imo. Maybe a fetus refresh, and I guess a spokesman for the rotting fly knight hood thingamajig?
>>96649806Someone who's not a special character
>>96649891Do you mean someone who's not named or just like an infantry unit?
>>96649891Hasn't Epidemius been deleted from Aos and 40k few years ago?
>>96649891of these the only ones who feel like special characters are the jokester, the big mouthed herald, the sick dude on horse, the guy on slug and the overdesigned mess of the glottkin
>>96649929Listen man, I don't wanna hear it. I've NEARLY finished painting the Glotkin god damnit. I'm gonna revel in it. Admitedly the Glotkin is basically 2 foot heroes taped onto a centerpiece monster.
>>96649902Aw really? I mean the model is awful but the concept is cute, I love the little chair he was riding on. But if more Forgeworld stuff has to die so we're finally free of it so be it.
>>96649954I like the model, even if it made me sick looking at it back in the day when browsing a catalogue in a hobby store
>>96649954he wasn't forge world, just good old gw metal from 7th ed
>>96649806You know what would be cool? Chamon Nurgle focusing on rust instead of biological decay
>>96650197bro independently invented the death guard
Why won’t GW update the Lord Celestant on Dracoth :(
>>96650210>green space marines with tentacles and gas masksI don't see it
>>96650210how easy would it be to "counts as" Maggotkin stuff to 40k nurgle stuff (not daemons) like are base sizes the same between enough stuff that I could get away with it?
>horse proportions>kragnos/ogroid/boc refresh>south east asian magmadroths>kurnothi kurnoth hunters>goblin phrenology>kruleboyz being a reference to oldhammer orcs>4th is nostalgiabait for 1stAnything else I missed? I really should compile an /aosg/-autism bingo>>96649806>tqLady cankerwall would be cool. Knightly rusted nurgle in general would be up my alley.
>>96650278ANON WHAT ARE YOU DOING, also you missed random /pol/ raid anytime anything new comes out.Also nurgle lady stuff sounds neat, it is possible with the supposed leak of a bunch of armored nurgle dudes and probably some generic mortal fodder ALA vermintide 2. Maybe she'll be the big bad of the Warhammer Quest (assuming that's also real) dude I'm so genuinely excited.
>>96650197fuck off with that slop
>>96650278You missed limbless dragons
>>96649806Lady of CankerwallNamed Knight with a Beastman squire Battle Standard Bearer
>>96650236>The War of Rust and Ruinrust and other forms of metal decay are the DG calling card silly>>96650245the Blightkings are awkwardly between plague marine and terminator sized, and the blightkings are on 40mm bases while the PMs are 32. i have used some blightkings to convert into death guard characters though, like the bell guy makes a good Noxious Blightbringer if you give him a gun and a backpack
>>96650278>4th is nostalgiabait for 1stIt is? Fucking Pestigors fighting alongside Maggotkin was the go-to image of enemies in RGW.
>>96650327Hrm, so in theory blight kings could be Terminators, neat. I'd wanna say Glotkin could make a knight or whatever but the base size is off
>>96650337>Fucking Pestigors fighting alongside MaggotkinDon't you mean plague monks?
>>96650385Why don't you open one of the books and see? It was all three in the campaign books and in the lit it was just Maggotkin and Beastmen
>>96650377real and true. sigh.
>>96650377The consequences of the Imperial Guard
>>96650416if you had opened the books you would know there's no artwork of pestigors and plenty of artworks with maggotkin and clan pestilens together, whatever you think was some kind of heavy reoccurrence compared to this is due to autism.
>>96650556The overwhelming image, from photography, all over the books is Maggotkin + BoC Fucking read one retard
>>96650574>The overwhelming image, from photography, all over the books is Maggotkin + BoCok, then post 4 artworks or photos of pestigors from those books
>>96650601Page 15, the first real page of the bookWhat page do pestilens show up?
It is happening again
>>96650612Anon... there's a plague furnace in your image
What page do pestilens get art?
>>96650622Alongside what? Beastmen.Lying faggot.
>>96650632I didn't lie about shit dog you fucking just asked "what page do pestilens show up" and I answeredI'm not even the guy you're arguing with
>NOOOO SHIFTING TO THE HALLOWED KNIGHTS AS THE DEFAULT PAINT SCHEME AND BRINGING BACK PESTIGORS ALONGSIDE TORNUS DOESN'T MEAN IT'S RELATED TO 1ST EDITION!!!!Absolute retard, rope and stop pretending you played 1e
Someone toss me a scan of the Helsmith battletome plz.
>>96650612those arean't pestigors anon, those are clearly just ungors.
>>9665064681 is when they show up alongside BoC. Maggotkin were the main antagonists in the war of life and joining them was BoC and Pestilens. You're a lying faggot. There's no artwork with Maggotkin fighting alongside Nurgle, just photography exactly the same as BoC and Maggotkin
>>96650616
>>96650616I feel like an anon ran out of the meds they're supposed to be taking.
>>96650652>>96650662Behold: A Tzaangor
>No, Maggotkin and BoC were not the big bad of half of 1st edition's narrative because.... JUST BECAUSE
>>96650612>>96650624>>96650652Those are normal beastmen, not pestigors?
>>96650678Alright now let's see a Slaangor.
>>966503772nd ed really was the peak of comfy
>>96650682nurgle marked beastmen are not pestigors, that's a different thing, so to say maggotkin getting pesitgors is a reference to 1st edition is schizophrenic
>>96650684Boom!
>>96650652>SHIFTING TO THE HALLOWED KNIGHTS AS THE DEFAULT PAINT SCHEMEthey didn't, only the launch box was hallowed colored, the starter sets and individual boxes are still hammers of sigmar
>>96650696holy shit, that's amazing how are you doing this?!
>>96650612page 15, evidently, lmao
>>96649806Great timing with the OP themeCurrently working on a stinky boy myself
>here's my opinion about campaign books I didn't read
>>96650713Didn’t realize they were so gorey
JAAAAAAAMES I NEED MY HOBGROTS AND CENTAURS
>>96650713I'd post mine but I've posted my glotkin during like 6 separate stages of painting. THOUGH I will ask, I haven't decided what color to do for my GuO or Daemons. I kinda wanna have them tuqoise with purple guts or more on the sea colors like they float out from the ocean, but some standard camo green with maroon guts just looks classic.
>>96650556>plenty of artworks with maggotkin and clan pestilens togethershare them? I've never seen these
>>96650669>There's no artwork with Maggotkin fighting alongside pestilens
>>96650749
>>96650749>>96650753damn 1st edition art sucked
>>96650753
>>96650760fixed it for ya.
>>96650760I think they’re cool. >>96650766This one’s funny as hell however.
>>96650766
>>96650777
>>96650785
>>96650777This stormcast looks oddly sad.
Beastmen were prominent in the RGW stuff but always featured alongside Maggotkin or StD. Everyone expected them to get souped like early WHF>>96650785I wish we got updated Plaguemonks and a new Priest. The warband is such a tease
>>96650792
>>96650799
>>96650278Update your bingo, we have another retardation
>>96650810why is this fucking happening twice in a god damn row
>>96650795he got told he looked fat
>>96650808I wonder why the tree elves are painted as spectral things rather than fleshy here
>>96650811It’s the reason for the season.
>>96650624They recycled the dirgehorn narrative with the Shudderblight plague rains in Dawnbringers actually
>>96650811Because the bingo directly baited the retard that's probably making +90% of that list >>96650278 >>96650337
>>96650824They aren't, that's just the glowy bellybutton-seedpod.
Did tzeentch or slaanesh even get any early 1e art?
>>96650838>Refresh 1st edition models>Make miniatures for named characters from 1st edition material >10th anniversary for the setting A coincidence
>>96650876Yeah, in the campaign books or for battle plans Realmgate Wars covered every chaos god's followers
>>96650760you have no idea
>>96650889This fucks
>>96650797no one thought thatmaggotkin are getting different models not the old beastmen from 1e it's nothing like old photographs or fluff
>>96650884>>Refresh 1st edition modelsyou mean like they updated stormcasts before?>>Make miniatures for named characters from 1st edition materialyou mean like they made a model for gardus before?
>>96650895maybe you mean>this fucks>>this fucks>>>this fucks>>>>this fucks>>>>>this fucks
>>96650927When did they refresh Stormcast prior to 4th edition?
>>96650937Well they do look like they’re getting backshots
>>96650889That's cool actually. Just look at them go
>>966509413rd edition refreshed vindictors and annihilators
>>966507604th edition art is too sanitized to be good nieither
They should give Nurgle his access to Pestialnce back
>>96650941Different name, same substance.
>>96650993At this rate they're going to remake the screaming bell without the furnace option and squat monks... At least you can run shudderhood in Skaven
>>96650889>the traced terradons and bastiladon
I built 60 Plaguemonks and then gave up... They look so shit
>>96650994vigilors and vanquishers mog the fatcast so hard. vindictors and nuliberators are kinda boring though.
>>96650889Cinema
>>96651001plaguepack indicates to me that pestilens is sticking around
why did they make the stormcast fat, /aosg/
>Don't
>>96651058As anything more than that unit and the Verminlord? Dubious
>>96651060attempts to appeal to marinefags and to hide the junctions for posable bits
>1st Ed: Epic Cartoonesque art>2nd Ed: Creepy dark art>3rd Ed: Grim and realistic>4th Ed: What art?
Reminder that Tzeentch has an enslaved godbeast and does nothing with it since 1e
>>96651152Reminder Gordrakk has a whole recurring narrative about recovering that godbeast's skull and nothing has came of it for more than half a decadev
>>966511264th edition art is unfinished
>>96651158Except it did. Siege of Excellsis already happened. >but Gordrakk failed so it doesn't countWho cares nigga. That plotline concluded normally
>>96651178Also isn't he leading his boyz in the Eightpoints?
>>96651152Because its dad came and spanked the imbecile>>96651158He recovered the Skull but Lord Kroak had a spell on the gates of Excelsis that blasted the Skull.
>>96651158that narrative already closed with the siege of excelsis, it was a nothingburger
>>96651178He didn't use it at excellsis nigga
>>96651183 (me)No wait is Gordrakk was a Kruleboy.>>96651187Also this. Tzeentch got too cocky.
>>96651183Yeah, last bit of Gordrakk was rampaging around the Eightpoints so he can break down the door to Azyr to get Sigmar off his ass and get stuck in
>>96651183I think he's already there. Whole point of Brodd messing with Dawners was to distract Chaos from Gordrakk enterig Eightpoint
>>96650730Theres some surprisingly good gore details on the plaguebearers I keep forgetting aboutDont get me started on the Poxbringer model>>96650738>I kinda wanna have them turquoise with purple guts or more on the sea colors like they float out from the oceanHonestly that could be really nice looking why not give it a shot? Give it a sea themed base too, do something like pic related (except better cause this wasnt exactly my best attempt at it) and make it look like they come walking out of the water maybe? Could be a nice thematic thing
>>96651189>Only when the battering ram was a hundred metres from the gates did Gordrakk thunder alongside it on Bigteef, leaping at the last to stand astride the mighty skull of Hammergord and raise his axes high in the air. Then the ram struck the rune-inscribed gates of Excelsis with the force of two dozen gargants behind it. The runes flared, those traced upon it by Lord Kroak burning bright enough to blind. With an ear-splitting crack, the skull of Hammergord shattered into a thousand pieces.
>>96651203>Gordrakk was a Kruleboy.You're thinking Gobsprakk. Gordrakk is the Ironjaw
>>96651126I mean, surprisingly, for what little new stuff 4e has had, there are some decent pieces. The big realms cosmology comes to mind. The stuff near the beginning of the core book with the CoS vs StD. Each battletome has had a new, big 2-page spread.
>>96651126Grim and realistic but with unfinished backgrounds (and when a battletome cover in some weird unfitting background colour)
>>96651017The moldlines on those fuckers are obsceneI'm building a few and I'm this close to just saying "fuck it" and painting some clanrats green instead
>>96651213It was better having memory holed that ngl
>>96651212>except better cause this wasnt exactly my best attempt at itOh anon, if it looks close to that fucking good I'd be floored, i've got some of that vallejo water texture shit and I have no fucking clue what I'm doing with it. I've been doing popsicle stick docks with some moss and other shit on it.
>>96651216Yeah I had a retard moment it seems.
Haven't seen anyone talk about today's rumour engine. I have no idea what this is, looks pretty alienish though, leaning more towards 40k or necromunda. Could be a nurgle thing I guess, it's vaguely tentacly?
>>96651457I don't think it's nurgle, the little painting on the tail weirdly enough makes me think Kroot?
>>96651336Youre flattering me anonI personally only used Vallejo water texture once and didnt like it too much and then I switched to water foam texture from GSW (its been a while but I am pretty sure thats the one, though they have newer ones nowadays) and I think its betterI see what you have in mind and I like it, personally I would pick less broad sticks and use a thick sharp needle and carve out realistic grooves in the wood so to speakTry this, its for TC but it applies essentially the same: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jKFyxeN5Yo8Also if you want proper moss, check out dirty down moss which is waaaay better if you use it on some clumped up texture instead
I wish there was a sexy ratlady proxy for Vizzik
>>96651476Fair and not bad ideas, it's been a bit of a learning process desu. I kinda like the big "planks" just because I had the idea of them being on a big ass dockyard but smaller planks would look more pleasing to the eye. I do wanna have some shore bases for the flys at the very least, and I might see about dirty down... Only issue with dirty down is like 20 bucks for a little bottle.
>>96650224Because they are moving away from the weird Copyright friendly Dragon horse things and turning SC hard into Dragons and Griffins (with how little emphasis dragons have been getting lately I would not be surprised if they take the dragons as well)
>>96651610Be a shame if they put vandus on anything else though
>>96651610>Copyright friendly Dragon horse things>look inside>just a fat dragon without wings
>>96651760Sigmar provides his fatest dragons to his fattest casts.
>>96651667they can have him on the same dracoth that grew into a stardrake
>>96651772You're now reminded that there's an all-female extremis chamber.
>>96651776But Dracoths aren't baby Stardrakes. They're different species
>>96651791I know what you're trying to bait here anon, AND IT WON'T WORK. Grimnir keeps my loins strong against your temptations.
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/f2ufbwap/kurnoths-heralds-embrace-the-fury-of-the-hunt-in-warhammer-underworlds/
>>96651858Ohhh so Kurnothi is just a faction, I was always confused as to how trees, elves, and centaur things were all labeled the same fucking thing. But it's literally just "hunter guys"
>>96651872*subfaction
>>96651794>But Dracoths aren't baby StardrakesYou would be surprised >Some believe that Dracoths are actually immature Stardrakes that will eventually return to the heavens to complete their metamorphosis. >When a Dracoth is slain, it is normally reincarnated in the Heavens in a new form, but as the Age of Chaos continued, less and less spirits of the slain were able to reach the heavens to be reborn.
is kragnos a kurnothi?
>>96651965yes, anything to get him out of destruction
>>96650306Sure. Just give me a picture of your GUO made of rusty metal so i can use it in the future
>>96651997I feel like you don't necessarily need an image of something to help get your point across, you can post anything realistically. Or just like a rusty toolshed or that GUO that's licking the rusty sword.
>>96652026This is deeply disturbing
>>96651872I mean yeah, they're all followers of Kurnouth, the Hunter God. It's interesting that (non-centaur) Elves are still officially included in the list, though given that we haven't seen any since Cursed City.
>>96652036I figure it's just easy to list them in there for future use, since I'm gonna bet we're gonna get at least one of those in the new WHQ (and if we're lucky a rootslayer and maybe a ghoul knight who sided with the good guys)
>>96651490It's not meant for Vizzik (rather instead it's for the generic VLs) but what about Resinwarfare's Avatar of Andevas
oldie
>>96651965no, he's nothing
I wonder if Marshal Thorian from Dawnbringers who just stood up and left at the end of Dawnbringers is going to return as Kurnothi. She went face to face against a Slaughtermaster and now her magic is even more powerful
>>96652442no, sylvaneth is an army of elves, she's not an elf, she's a human, humans go in cos, if she returns, she'll he a special character for cos
>>96651490Just sculpt some tits and widen the hips of the Verminlord of your choice
>re-reading Black Rift again
>>96652480Imagine if I could sculpt something that good, holy shit. even if it's a bit uncanny with the craggly feet and hands still there.
>>96652480>iron gate blocking her coochLesser men would be stopped by such an effort but not I
>>96651791>>96651772Fat ass extremis muscle mommies when
>>96652621Not my type of street fighter lady I'm afraid, even if I like Marisa. She could never compare to the the real best girl.
>>96652569I'm tempted to do try with a Verminlord
>>96652637Honestly if you think you can pull it off or even want to try, go for it! I got big respect for folks trying new shit.
>>96652637
>>96652611Real lore is that if a Gatebreaker finds a gate enchanted to be indestructible he'd just rip everything around the gate out and use the gate as protection.So practice dispelling
>>96652497Reynolds carried AoS
>>96652026This Pic looks like a result of One time Nurgle asked Slaanesh whot do mortals find "cute" and Slaanesh just said big eyes...I hate it
>>96652761>m
>>96652757Literally I enjoyed the characters, namely Volundr and Kratus. Kratus entire shtick was stay quiet and whoop ass while every Deathbringer was like "TALK ALREADY"Also Anhur was my favorite villain. Dude is soo pragmatic and methodical for a Khornate, not to mention his ambition is to build a kingdom even if he has to kill thousands.also Khorne appearing on the last pages in front of Orius and Anhur decides to let Orius escape the Blood God's realm is still stuck on my mind
>>96652704Alright that's pretty cool maybe gargants aint so bad
>>96652761>>96652781unfunny leddit shit. go back sloptard
>>96652480See if GW put female models out that looked like this you’d have such less contention over them
>>96652819They'd have to have someone who sculpts faces nicely, and then someone who can paint eyebrows.
>>96652822How is that nobody fucking told the dozen retards working for heavy metal that eyebrows exist?
>>96652827The only reason I can imagine is they're told to just paint "to show all the detail" so they just highlight a caveman styled ridge on their head to show the details. I don't imagine they're bad at painting, I can only imagine there's some rule in place.
Thoughts on my Troggoth? https://files.catbox.moe/vnmmn6.png
>>96652836Yeah it has to be some bureaucratic bullshit that forces their hand. But still, it's pretty egregious.
Sub-Realms are cool and full of potential. Wish we got to see more of 'em
>>96653199Normies can barely understand the realms as they are.
>>96650760It's been a decade. It's fine to admit that the 1e artwork had a campy charm.
>>96649891MoN has way more interesting and unique models than the other chaos factions in AoS and it's not close.
These are good boys.
What new Sylvaneth character will we get for their BT?
>>96653455Fuck it, I'm gonna go assemble my other 5 blight kings.
Finished my Duvalle. Took a bit longer than I thought but I think he turned out pretty sick.
They should evict clan pestilens and replace them with a clan of priest rats (prats) who think the GHR is mad at them for the nurgle stuff and put their sin on slave rats and flog them as penance
>>96652480The Verminlords are so cool, but I hate their poses so much, that stupid foot on weapon thing, the way they hold the weapon in the first place, god its awful
>>96653524>but I think he turned out pretty sickKinda weird to give yourself bumpats but he does look nice
>>96653627is it wrong to feel pride in one's work anon?
>>96653524I never understood why he was staring at his hand. Is he high or something? I feel like there's something he supposed to be holding.
>>96653606well luckily now there's a second verminlord sculpt you can use
>>96653665His eye line goes just to the side of his hand. He's not staring at it, I think he's like beckoning his enemy to come face him in combat.
I really did not like the Helsmiths of Hashut when the range was first shown off but I bought the box anyway and now that I have everything but the artillery built, it turns out it really was the paint job that I hated. Nothing wrong with the gray sculpts in my eyes. Not sure how I’m going to paint them myself.
>>96651490>>96652637What would be a good pose? the standard Vizzik pose or something else
>>96653670Lady vizzik with the scarf hiding her nipples and she's stepping on a steelhelm's crotch and he's going -o- and you can't see it but he's popping the fattest boner
>>96652480>>96652637>>96652651GW will never EVER give us something like this (they are beautiful, congrats to the artist); but if the rumour of female gargant is true, and she isnt just a normal gargant/mega-gargant with a wig, i will start an army of Sons of Behemat
>>96653670ugly ass grandpa rat despite being the youngest verminlord
>>96653873A freelance daemon suddenly getting involuntarily employed by the worst chaos god will age ya a bit
>>96652651>>96652637>>96652480It's 90% just the male gargants and it's still more attractive than any female model made by GW. You would think in the modern era of easily accessible anime figs, GW would try to replicate a fraction of their quality.
>>96653606its a very flexible kit. it comes with a second foot pose not standing on the weapon haft, and it has a bunch of arms which are all quite flexible as to what you can attach where. you can even magnetize them if you're clever. it also comes with like 5 or 6 different heads
>The Ruination Chambers of a Stormhost take in all those Stormcast Eternals who are beyond the Storm's Eye, a term the Eternals use to mean beyond the point of recovery. They are often accompanied by Memorians, mortals who usually have a bond of blood or friendship to their assigned stormcast and serve a dual role as priests of Morrda and to stir and preserve the last fragments of their wards identity even when the warriors of the Ruination Chambers are engaged in battle.So I could be a plucky young boy priest assigned to a female Stormcast to try and help her stay connected to her humanity?
>>96653900Feels like a false equivilancy, I don't necessarily go to Warhammer for sexy shit. I'm fine with Warhammer being its own thing without big knockers or pretty faces, would be nice if GW could manage it regardless but it's not what I'm here for.
>>96653914I mean yeah but chances are you’re blood related
>>96652651> Coomer> Coomer with sculpting talent> Coomer who can ALSO paintBUT RAREST OF ALL> Coomer who can show some fucking restraintGlorious
>>96653936I'm not here to goon either jurifag, I just want nice faces for the modelsThat said I wouldn't say no to some Kingdom Death Monster type models in AoS
>>96653954As I said I do wish GW could make a proper face. You can't hide a bad woman face the same way you can with a big manly beard. Thank god I didn't use the bigger statue for the pic though.
>>96653961dont judge GWs sculpts by their paint jobs
>>96652806It's funny that Anhur was doing the whole picking new Gorechosens and his reaction to a Skaven saying he wants to be One is to turn to the Rotbringer Sorcerer and go "lmao I know you convinced him on this", tell his Slaughterpriest to sip it and then let the Skaven participate on the competition merely to spite said Slaughterpriest.
>>96653961Rather than faces I’d rather gw just opt in for blinding bangs more like krethusa. Hairs more fun to paint than faces.
>>96653979I know anon, trust me. But every time I say that and then post the sister of battle image I get ignored or told I'm a faggot.
>>96653979Which one of these is supposed to be the good one? the face sucks on both but at least the left has abs
>>96653911You know what, fair enough, I'm manly just salty about the Warbringer pose. Overall its a great kit, lots of customization
>>96651858Are the seccond attacks "combo" attacks or something like that? Don't know the symbols. >>96653665It is a JoJo pose.
>>96653961GW sculpts can do lots of cute female faces, but a lot are ruined by the 'eavy metal team as previously stated. See: Lumineth & Sisters of Battle.Add some eyeliner and this Aelf's perfect.
Is it true that "Age of Sigmar" is a first class botch up, and dying slowly, or was that just a bad rumour?
>>96654198Ye like I said I think it's a highlighting issue and not doing more traditional beauty things like eyeliner, eyebrows, blush etc etc. Admitedly some models have shitty faces but it's easier to make a dwarf with badically nothing below the nose but a bushy beard look good as opposed to your average DoK.I think that's what a lot of people are angry over is most people don't want to put the effort in for a pretty face or the more realistic option is they only see the boxart and it makes them angry and they weren't gonna play the faction anyways but now they have to vent their frustions at this problem they just invented.
>>96654280I realize this is bait but why did you put Age of Sigmar in quotation marks?
>>96654280Yeah, Sigmar promised a badass age of cool shit and infinite Winningbut we've gotten 3 different nukes and things seem to be pointing to another
>>96654280Bait, and bad rumour.
>>96651076Good, squat Pestilens in AoS and send the old models back to The Old World, so it can have a Skaven army where a Skaven army belongs.
>>96654306Not even TOW players want those plague monks dawg
>>96654198This is what you think is "perfect"? I mean I guess it's fine for some background character on a much larger model, dissapointing for a front and center solo character.
>>96654280No, despite people's complaints about 4e, each edition has been more successful than the one before it, and aos is seeing record sales. They publish their annual reports on their website where they day as much, and are legally not allowed to lie on them
>>96654318More reason they can have them lmao
>>96654085You can use the second leg pose on the rock with the warbringers arms and head. You can even twist the glaives wrist to re angle his polarm. Might need a dab of greenstuff to even out the seam but it's pretty much a flat joint at the wrist
>>96654334Grim. I do not want the game to continue in the 4e direction.
>>96654346I still believe the Regiment System is horrible. It limits the player far too much for my tastes to begin with.With all the issues Warscroll Battalion did have, it was much better.Also the removal of subfactions easely makes me get less interested.There's more stuff but I'm too half-asleep to bother listing them.
>>96654346I highly doubt they'll look at the increase of people coming in and conclude it was because they all read the rulebooks first.
>>96654381it's because of Chorfs baby let's go
>>96654369>the removal of subfactions easely makes me get less interestedI don't think the issue is that there's not enough subfactions as much as GW trying to stretch subfactions into an entire faction while not actually fleshing them out aesthetically. If they made some rule changes for regiments of renown so you weren't punished so hard for taking them, list building would be way more interesting. Even just letting you use the normal rulesets for your faction while a regiment of renown is excluded with it's own seperate rules would help with that. Making list buliding easier within a given grand alliance would be cool. Order could get a proper multicultural cities of sigmar army, Death would have some actual variety and not 1 type of guy per army, Destruction could make fun greenskin lists, and Chaos could have more varied STD armies. It would also have the side benefit that if individual units were being used in other armies besides the units faction, it would drive up sales and they wouldn't completely bin factions for underpreforming, ie: bonesplitterz
>>96654419i think its just a lack of writing. even comparing 4e to 10e 40k which itself is dumbed down, its clear that 4e is just dropping the ball on giving players anything to do.
>>96650278>Lady cankerwallThe “slow low” woman zombie in 28 years later gave me a fetish for fat zombie chicks, bring it on
How many points are in the chorf box anyway? Is it worth buying multiples of them?
>>96654563500-ish. It's just a fancy Spearhead box. 2 probably would be enough since it's mostly basic infantry with the two war machines. The big dick centaurs aren't in there.
If an attack has anti-cavalry (+1 rend), and anti-charge (+1 rend), does that attack gain +2 rend against charging cavalry? New to AoS, plz no bully.
>>96654465If there's a will, there's a way.
>>96654563>Is it worth buying multiples of themNot really. You don't need multiple copies of the cards or battletome, and I can't think of a reason to field more than one War Despot. It's only really a discount if you need everything in the box. I'd buy one box, assemble and paint those models for now, then once the rest of the range releases your next purchases should probably be...>At least three boxes of bull centaurs>Two boxes of hobgrot vandalz>Two boxes of blunderbusses>Ashen Elder>Urak Taar
>>96654574I really think the centaurs are being overrated. They're good, but not 18+ in a list good
>>96654642I think it's legitimately difficult to justify taking less than two reinforced units of them. What surprises me is how much people are sleeping on the dominator engine w/ maces AKA the game's greatest distraction carnifex. You give that thing 3 DP points and the rend prayer, and it's gonna clap cheeks.
>>96654604Yes. 20.0 in the rules.
>>96654690Thanks, Broseidon.
>>96653873>being the youngest verminlordIs he, or does he just have most recent model. Idk the lore
>>96654681idk, i've run aggradon lancers, and i think the bull centaurs are gonna have a lot of the same issues. not that you dont take any, but going all on in on them i think wont pay off how you want it to
>>96654198>GW sculpts can do lots of cute female facesPic unrelated?>Add some eyeliner and this Aelf's perfect.>pajamas>magical MMO shoulderpadsIt's a slop
I can’t decide which army is going to be THE army for me, the one I build/paint/play 2000 pts of. Current contenders>FEC (I painted the spearhead)>Kruleboyz (I have Dominion half, currently working on it)>Bonereapers (I like the idea of necro robots)>Deepkin (like the models)But every week I seem to find a new interest in a different faction
>>96654729He was created from the GHR's need for worship and the devotion of the Skaven to him. He was only born during the events of the Vermindoom and the Hour of Ruin so he's a VERY young daemon, perhaps the youngest in the setting which is kind of adorable. Also, read the lore for the game you play bitch.
>>96654807I don't think you know what a face is
>>96654681>I think it's legitimately difficult to justify taking less than two reinforced units of themProbably because you actually want to have fun and not spam the same unit constantly because they're meta.Crazy, right?!
>>96654369Subfactions exist they're just not tied to fluff. Armies and Regiments of Renown are but I guess you think they're TOO thematic? We just need more AoR, at least four per book
>>96653459Spite Monarch
>>96654807Mmo shoulderpads have been an integral part of the warhammer aesthetic for longer than mmos have existed
>>96654198Gw just overaccentuates laugh lines and cheek bones on every face for some reason. It's a stylistic choice that I think they do to shoe off the sculpting but it makes the final box art suffer
>>96654883>meta>a cavalry unit with a 4+ save, no ward, cant fly, cant pass through units, has no activation wars strikes first/last, no healing, no recursion, no outlfank and no deepstrike

How powerful are the gods who rule the 8 mortal realms (Sigmar, Nagash, Malerion, Gorkamorka, etc.) compared to the other gods of Warhammer Fantasy and 40k?
>>96654938Nagash the Undying King states that in his weakened state he'd be reluctant to take on one of the Ruinous Powers, so we can therefore assume when Nagash was at full strength he could 1v1 a Chaos God.
>>96654944>Nagash the Undying KingBtw read this novel! It's so good!
>>96654938Alariel is Isha. Literally. 1:1
>>96654826continue with FEC or i'll come over there and beat the shit out of you
Helsmiths of Hashut should have gained access to the Soul Grinder. It's a Daemon Engine kit simply waiting for a suitable faction to claim it and Hashut did seize his power from the Forge of Souls.
>>96654980I wonder if they have any demon engines to venerate their faith.
>>96654980full time chorfman herewe don't want it
>>96654989Full time chorfman herewe do want it actually.
>>96654980Soul Grinder looks too 40k and ugly, but something like that (half machine-half demon) could be interesting.I still prefer half chorf-half machine and 100% demon fuel.
>>96654980im really surprised this ancient 40k model hasnt been squatted yet

>>96654980disgusting demonflesh shit
>>96654980Eeeeh no, leave it in 40K, we dont want that. Its kinda horrendous.
>>96654826Same but with gitz, seraphon and deepkin.
>>96654944Nagash at his full strength was killed by Teclis. Teclis cannot contend with a single chaos god. Undying King only referred to the followers of Nurgle who were crusading in Shyish not the god itself
>>96655234Nagash was whooping Teclis's ass untl he got a lot of back up. And all he did was temporarly inconvinience Nagash
>>96655234Teclis was losing badly against him, and nagash was extending himself out of his home realm and into teclis's own.He was defeated, not even killed, by teclis only because there was a whole army focus firing on him, plus the intervention of another goddess, and in the meanwhile nagash was raping the oldest mountain of hysh and still left teclis with rectal cancer.

Given this is a Nurgle themed thread, how many Pusgoyle Blightlords (mortal fly riders) do you need to run (or should run) to use the Affliction cyst detachment?If I'm running 10 blightkings, and like 3 riders with a lord of afflictions character, am I better off running the exploding mortal wounds formation or the deepstrike fly rider formation?

It annoys me that the second Kurnothi warband is just Skaeth x3. I would have preferred some Kurnoth Hunters or revenants. But even if GW really wanted to make them furry aelves then they could at least offer some variety.
>>96655411I've seen you ask this exact question in the last like 5 threads I'm sorry man I know nothing about nurgle :(
>>96655529Sylvaneth should contain no elves only trees including the stupid blue half tree elves if they cant do normal wood elves.
>>96655529Unit of 3 "horses" can efforlessly be turned into an actual unit
>>96655529Yeah, it would be neat to have a duplication of an existing available kit instead of something new Just buy kurnoth hunters and revs?
>>96655393sissy troon alert
>>96655424>>96655454Ah shit, for the eternal glory of Morathi-Khaine I will buy a unit and post it with cage.
>>96655250Nagash died, death just doesn't matter. He's back to 1e power levels after Archaon killed him then. Read a death battletome c'mon
>>96655379>I thought that was tyrion's jobThey're twins, each is either half of the deal or the whole deal depending on how they fraction their tasks
>>96655791shut it, fanggot
>army is trees>66% of Underworlds warbands for the army are not treesFucked up desu
>>96655791Nagash didn't die in 1e retard and he never got any individual power boosts in 2e
>>96655529You're just going to have to accept that Elves are the future of Sylvaneth, no matter how much it makes you seethe.
>>96655798>leader of said trees is an elf
>>96655730This. This is a warband that was 100% made with the intention of doubling as a normal unit later on, compared to Skaeths Wild Hunt being your usual chaotic mess of individual characters and pets.
>>96655806Anon, what was the Necroquake all about? Fucking newfag lorelets
>>96655790dubs and you ascend to Morathi's sisterhood (buy and take female hormones)we will all serve in har kuron morathisisters

Do you guys know what paints were used in this paint scheme? i want to try replicating it for my chaos warriors.
>>96655971read the 1st edition material. The core book, the RGW novels search for him, Undying King, and then read Soul Wars and the 2nd edition core book I don't care about your anime headcanon faggot

>>96656036>read dozen 1e books >about Necroquake
Can't believe the Dominator Engine is 1. a model that they released and 2. a model that people bought and are painting and intend to use
>>96654883>you actually want to have funSlamming big beefy boys into the enemy lines and watching models get picked up isn't fun?>because they're meta1. The battletome and models haven't even properly released yet, they have zero presence in competitive AoS, ergo, they *can't* be meta. Intentionally handicapping yourself in list-building and malding at people who don't isn't the flex you think it is, you "MUH BEER N PRETZELS" twat. 2. Bull Centaurs are perhaps the quintessential chorf unit. It would be weird to not bring a good amount of them.>>96654989Seconded, that model looks like ass.>>96655513Did you check your FLGS?
>>96656095Sorry Rajeesh, but West doesn't have blasphemy laws against depiction o cows
>>96656110I don't think that's how hinduism works
>>96656095Idk I don't really have a problem with it. The blunderbusses and to an extent the artillery is far more dissapointing to me. The basic troops i'm so so on. Rest of the range is fine to kino.
>>96656095Daemon engines are my favorite thing in Warhammer, and the Dominator is the only one besides the Heldrake that I'd consider a genuinely bad design. Should have just brought back the K'daai Destroyer concept.
>>96656095yea because its cool bozo
>>96656095Yeah, it's pretty unbelievable they would manage to make a good model for new chorfs for once.
>>96656152I don't see it. It has no worky bits, it has no fleshy bits, it's got a weird shape that looks like it wouldn't be able to walk... What's the appeal? Even the fact that it holds its maces instead of them being built onto the arms is unappealing.
>>96656091>and then based ESL pajeet
>>96656163It's a walking furnace with a bull head. If you don't see the appeal i suggest adding red meat and removing soibeans from your diet
>>96656163you know not everyone has to like everything. just because its not your cup of tea doesnt mean its not appealing to a lot of people, which definitely seems to be the case given how quickly they sold out and how much momentum their faction seems to have (the helsmiths reddit already has twice as much traffic as the kharadron and fyreslayers subreddits combined)
>>96650889The lighting placement in a lotta AoS art feels really off, and it makes the art look flat and cartoony
>>96656178It's an obese midget that toddles around with baby rattles. I think I'll stick with white meat, thank you.
>>96656182Helsmiths sub left IDK in the dust, too.
GODDAMNIT I WANT AN ARMY OF THESE GUYS ALREADY!
>>96656216The Kruleboyz/Gitmob of GA Order.
>>96649806Soon
>>96656225I would happily run a mixed Sylvaneth/Kurnothi army even if the rules suckGreat models, sexy elfs, and if they add Kurnothi then presumably there will be units that have rules other than "stand next to a tree to do X"
>>96656182I must admit that you're right but it feels cosmically absurd that I'm basically "the guy who loves chorfs and daemon engines" yet end up hating the chorf daemon engine.
>>96656241yet I ended up*
>>96656203the crazy part is its not even like r/chaosdwarfs or something that encompases old fantasy battle or TWW stuff either, its specifically helsmiths of hashutits looking like it might be one of the more popular armies in the game once its actually available on shelves
>>96656241just get in touch with a recaster and run the FW ones then. the model ranges line up pretty closely
>>96656261Speaking from my own head here, it's pretty easy to see why this is the case.As a tolkein dwarf enthusiast, not a single dwarf army GW sells scratches that vibe as well as the Helsmiths do, while remaining unique in their own way. Votann have an entirely different aesthetic in the 40k area, Fyreslayers are just naked screaming man children with big beards, and Kharadron are more steampunk than they are dwarf in their designs. All armies are great in their own rights, but none have that traditional dwarf feel. If old world wasn't a meme then the mountain holds would fit, but nobody and I mean nobody will ever play a game of old world with you. Therefore none are as popular.However, Helsmiths absolutely fit the aesthetic of traditional fantasy dwarves. As it stands now the only real difference between them and tolkien's dwarves from a design standpoint is their mages and their more orcish features like the tusks. I barely play AoS and I bought them immediately because that's what I've been looking for from GW's dwarf armies for so long. It's easy to assume that I'm not the only one, and the popularity this army is getting is from the crowd of people with a similar mindset to my own here.
>>96655393Okay maybe a DOK army would be based
>>96656303It seems to be worth observing that the HoH's appeal is not that they're Chaos dwarfs, but that they're chaos Dwarfs. It explains a lot of both their criticisms and praises.
>>96656163>What's the appeal?part golem, part machine, part dwarf, part bullnot that difficult
>>96656193>It's an obese midget that toddles around with baby rattlesyou're describing a dwarf
>>96656225What do you mean by this?>>96656216Same. I can't get behind tree revs and forest folk alone are a little bland atm
>>96656356eternal subfaction
>>96656326You took my long rambling monologue and shortened it into a few words. Couldn't have said it better myself, anon.
>>96656326Extremely well put. Frame that shit. I, as someone who generally bounces off Chaos have found HoH extremely tempting. Every new piece of lore I’ve read about them makes me like them even more. Unfortunately I’m in the middle of building Lumineth so a 3rd army is out of the question right now.
>>96655454Thank you for at least commissioning art instead of resorting to AI garbo.
am thinking of beginning a stormcast army, if any anons have pictures of cool sce schemes id appreciate it
>>96656452I got nothin but an old idea I had to make a Scarlet Crusade or Argent Dawn themed Stormcast force. The only thing stopping me if having to free hand a little fire symbol or star like 80 times. (And also finishing off and working on other armys)
>>96656163To each their own but the last thing I wanna see on daemon engines is fleshy bits desu.>>96656203Grim for sea elves why the fuck don't more people like them they're like the coolest shit ever is this how beasts players felt? How are they compared to cathay?
>>96656491It's funny since I think IDK are sick as fuck, I love the units, I love how everything looks. I've done a resin pour on at least one mini and it'd be neat doing that for them too: BUT. I'm not big no elite infantry, and no crab stuff outside of the single tiny crab for Underworlds. If IDK got some kind of crab fortress I'd be all over them. (I will be picking up their incarnate to use as a Krondspine)
>>96656479decent idea anon, funny you have a sequitor in the pic. my lgs has an old box of sequitors i might pick up and proxy them for liberators. I like all the sce 3rd/4th redesigns except the liberators
>>96656203I'm not sure how activity during a release is more indicative than total followers, but in any case it's soon for that for hoh
>>96656516I wound up with like... 5kish something points of that generation of Stormcasts for like 200 bucks? (I made a joke offer on an ebay lot, and the guy took it INSTANTLY. Pic below) but generally most stuff can be proxied as other stuff if it's the same type. All stormcast infantry is on the same base size and falls into archetypes so go nuts: stormcast with hammer and shield, stormcast with ranged weapon, stormcast with big 2 handed hammer and crazy armor, stormcast riding non winged dragon.
>>96656514I also was immediately a fan of IDK but I would say from the beginning they just were never really that popular. I think part of it is that they don't appeal to your average Elf fan that much compared to other options.
>Kurnothi warband >Skaeth becomes generic unit >Kurnothi Warcry warband (not launch box, that'll be FEC Vs CoS) looking good furfagbros
>>96656538Dracolinee have really grown on me ngl, I thought they were goofy af like some heman shit but damnit they're more interesting than gryphs (which CoS should've kept)
>>96656542>they don't appeal to your average Elf fanMakes sense, they're basically more of a sea creatures faction than an elf faction.
>>96656225They will be added to sylvaneth and you will be happy.
>>96656562I really didn't care much for stormcast early on but when I got this lot and got to see the models up close they are indeed pretty fucking cool. I picked up a few extra heroes and some of those first generation tyrael winged dudes cheap as well and got a decent force. The dracolines honestly are pretty sick, stormcast in general have so many cool fucking models.
>>96656452Sword Reclusians fuck. That’s a good kitbash.
>>96656546the two kurnothi bands plus the gal from cursed city should be bundled into a single boxset and put into rules as 2 units you have to buy together but otherwise field and command separately>4 centaurs>4 infantry + cat
>>96656617Kurnothi spearhead should be this with two of whichever warband is generic
>>96656629nah, just add one unit of hunters plus belthanos
>>96656669Are we doing the Snarlpack thing where one of the guys is a hero and the other guys are his retinue?
>>96656669i hate their weird barbed tails. that looks so off
>>96656679I'm being generous and guessing the artist wanted to pay homage to animorphs, hopefully he doesn't go full retard on this for further kurnothi stuff
>>96656525>the ossiarch subreddit is gone because the mods abandoned it and probably won't be backrules so awful it caused a community to collapse
>>96656760fucking hell that is actually sad.
>>96652442She’s gonna cuck that one Helsmith tryna dick about with the Kurnothi and not the underworlds guy the other guy
>>96656760if the artists didnt keep cranking out great models this new rules design team legitimately might have killed the game this edition.
>>96653873I thought he was made from primordial sludge regardless of his actual “birth” Also>demons >the warp>timelines lolLmao
>>96653961I don’t know man I don’t think even a beard could’ve saved this poor bastard
>>96654328Considering I’m going to be like 20 feet away from the model on average? Yeah?
>>96655234I’m the biggest Nagash hater but he is explicitly not at full strength. Even powered with the nadir his schizophrenia is an incredible handicap
>>96655234Nagash got mugged in a fucking alleyway by a bunch of elves with guns, it was not a 1 on 1 with Teclis. Nagash has yet to have any sort of "fair fight" it's always just sneaking up on him or wearing him down until he's weak enough. Since most people realize they cannot win in a fair fight against him!
>>96654980The Helsmiths Battletome should have included profiles for the Horns of Hashut and Soul Grinder honestly.
>>96656953>Horns of Hashutyes>Soul Grinderno
>>96656953Soul Grinder should have just been a one-model RoR for any chaos faction
>>96656947pretty much yeah, the only person that's full on just straight up bonked Nagash is Sigmar before he created SCE. Everyone else was with a ton of help.
>>96656947No one would think Teclis with all of Lumineth could best a chaos god. It's fucking stupid to think Nagash could, especially when we know Teclis couldn't because Slaanesh is bound not dead and that was all trickery from multiple gods - and it's implied it's just a kink session for them anyway
>>96655513Here's the 4th Edition Sigmarines PDF and other 4th Edition PDFs.https://files dot fm slash u slash q2z44k2gnz
>>96657023Nagash was gonna "beat" chaos by just killing everyone, everywhere. The whole ritual where he basically condensed all the magical death power in the realm of death to make a Power Word: Kill ALL. Which again, if anyone could do it I'd believe the super sorcerer who invented death magics and absorbed nearly all the gods of death to be capable of pulling that shit.Because Chaos can't really fucking do anything if all worshippers and everything get hot fixed out of the mortal coil.
>>96657035>Here's the 4th Edition Sigmarines PDF and other 4th Edition PDFs.LIAR!There's no Helsmiths.
>>96657042I said others, not all.
>>96654938On pair with their source material:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAIrj_Vqdfc
>>96657091Anon I don't know what you're implying here
>>96657100Obviously I was implying writter's wish/gameplay necessity simmiliar to WoW on which AoS is based where anything can be killed by 25 nonames.
>>96656669>furries don't have any bug buddiesMan fuck these guys
>>96657115Fair, the only difference is it can really only happen to Nagash since he can't really... I guess die? Nagash just turns into a ghost and pops back out a new body after shaking his fist at whoever beat him up. I don't entirely know how that works for the other gods.
I understand that the 4 Chaos Gods are the same in all 3 Warhammer universes (Fantasy, 40k, and Age of Sigmar). So why do they seem to be stronger or weaker in the 3 different universes?
>>96657131>Fair, the only difference is it can really only happen to Nagash since he can't really... I guess die?Only because he have a model. But once it's ages...
>>96656669The arch-rev should be there. It lacks the keyword in the faction pack but has a Champion of Kurnoth ability specifically for buffing Kurnothi units and is described as Kurnothi in fluff.
>Gods>Dying Pick one and only one To be a god is to transcend mortal death. Even mathlaans soggy ass isn’t all the way dead
>>96657139I mean, models like a decade old as is. But I don't think they'd kill Nagash, he's too popular and I'd like to believe they learned a lesson after the end times.
>>96657144what does the fluff say about the dudes on bugs? they have the same aesthetic as the arch-rev but on top of that they would also fit neatly alongside belthanos's big bug
>>96657135>So why do they seem to be stronger or weaker in the 3 different universes?in 40k they explain it as how much attention the Gods are giving to any universe in particular. it's very rare for them to lock in
Important lore question: is Thanquol the only named skaven that made it to the Mortal Realms? Followup, would you rather have more new named skaven or bring back old named skaven
>>96657246I know the answer but I don't care and I'm not sharing.
>>96657246I mean, robo skaven made it and just changed his name slightly. And desu I'd be fine with older Skaven getting brought back if for some reason GW can't just make a Headtaker styled entertaining book with one of the new guys. Thanquol and Queek are beloved because those books are fucking fantastic.All it takes is one good book to make a character be well liked and fleshed out. You could have a fucking generic foot ghoul holding a sword with a little cape and then write 200 pages making him out as the coolest mother fucker in existence and sell gangbusters.
>>96657135I was thinking about this recently and my main reasoning is, in 40k it's a massive fuck off universe and there's more worshippers and shit all around and less "deities"In Fantasy the world is still kind of falling under the influence and they're more limited to mortals and mutations slipping through rather than being able to go all out.For AOS I imagined the other gods are just as strong (maybe not like, one on one fight but you get the idea) so it's more of an even battle.
>>96657135>So why do they seem to be stronger or weaker in the 3 different universes?because the fanbases hype up their version differentlynever listen to a 40kfag talk about chaos, they don't understand it, and even if you were to tell him how shit works, he would rather vomit more headcanon from their circlejerks of secondaries and boy's love literature consumers.
>>96657246Ikit probably survived, was in the hamilcar stories. Was not as cut and dry though, but I don't remember the details.
>>96657181Like the Kurnoth Hunters and the Arch-Revenant, the Dragonspite Lancers are Free Spirits, meaning they exist outside the glades and are instead directly subordinate to Alarielle. Basically they're her RAF. I don't think it's been said they are especially fervent about Kurnoth. The dragonspites are a little curious because they were only recently born into the Mortal Realms. They were dormant pods that were carried along on the Oak of Ages from Athel Loren, and only hatched following Alarielle's Rite of Life.
You guys think Gellerpox hulks would make decent beast of nurgles if I slap em onto a bigger base?
>>96657482They read more as spawn, but there shouldn't be problems if you're clear with the opponent.
I like this artstyle, did this artist work on anything else?
>>96657507He has a website where he posted some AoS artwork he made just for fun. Unfortunately I can't remember his name.
>>96656452This is a test model I painted awhile back, but I ended up not making a stormcast army.
>>96657498Hadn't considered that! Thankfully looks like Maggotkin don't get spawn so yeah I figure as long as I got "these are beasts of nurgle" should be kosher. I'll see if I can add some bits or move parts around to increase the size profile a bit.
Lumenieth Realm Lords have>A varied range>Room to expand>Almost no redundancy>All units have a place and function well>Constantly the best wizard unitsIs there a way to make a more perfect army?
>>96657539i have quibbles with a lot of their designs. very minor things, but numerous, and on enough models that it has put me off of collecting them
>>96657552Could you give me a couple examples?
>>96657539More furry women
>>96657563wardens spears are just too long. not that people didnt use spears that long historically, but for practical tabletop and transportation purposes they put me off. the cow helmet guys. i like the cow adornment, and i like their armor, but i dont like that the cow adornment is at the top of the helm, i would prefer it be a face mask with the horns coming out of the temples, like the mountain spirit has. basically just take the cow ornament and slide it down to where the face is. blademasters could use a touch more armor, it would have been nice to see some scale mail throwback to the swordmasters of old. the river blades look great on the armored miniatures, but like half the guys are just wearing suspenders and tshirts instead of armor, i wish they were all wearing the armor. i like the wind spirits but i dont like the twirly ribbon stands, i'd rather have them leaping off a tree or some rocks or something. etc. just a bunch of minor things i could probably solve myself with a hobby knife, but put together its just disuaded me from collecting the army
>>96657591>wardens spears are just too longI'll give you that. They've always been a pain for me. But I still appreciate the hoplite type look they're going for. >the cow helmet guysI like them, it harkens to the tradition of officers and elite troops having decorated helmets. It's also meant to respect the spirits of the mountains. >blademasters could use a touch more armorHistorically sword elves were some of the most lightly armored, meant to look faster and leaner in comparison. Look at the Swordmasters of Hoeth in Fantasy Battle. I think the light armor is meant to continue the tradition of light-armored high-dps units. > the river blades look great on the armored miniatures, but like half the guys are just wearing suspenders and tshirts instead of armorSee above, but also note that they're basically meant to be commandos based in Ghur. They were originally warcry models meant to emulate low-armor high-dps units who are agile enough to evade constant beasts and thick jungles. > i like the wind spirits but i dont like the twirly ribbon standsFair, i don't have any but they do seem like a pain for transport. >etc. just a bunch of minor things i could probably solve myself with a hobby knife, but put together its just disuaded me from collecting the armyI respect that, it is a very thin and fragile army both in-game and as models that are rough to transport. Nothing's more embarrassing than going to a game only for one of your dudes to come out of the case broken. But I enjoy them because I generally like high elves, think the models are beautiful when properly painted, and I have my own cheats to keep the fragile snappy bits in tact.
>>96657174Nagash died in the sense that he could. Obviously it wasn't a permanent death considering 1e opens with Stormcasts searching for him, it was just a weakened state. That said Godsbane says gods can die. Nagash is supposed to have killed several death gods. It's like saying, oh it's technically incorrect to say Grimnir died. Stop being a fucking autist.
>>96657659>Historically sword elves were some of the most lightly armoredyou might need to get glasses, they're wearing steel full plate armor with scale waistcoats and greathelms. thats as heavily armored as you can get without a shield
>>96657718>>96657718>>96657718
>>96657135The constraints of each setting and the very nature of the gods as influential figures rather than manifested beings. The gods are playing a game and their champions are their pieces, so that's a limiting factor alongside the obvious restrictions of each universe (polar gates, warp, etc)
>>96653249No, it's a disgrace looking at warhammer art throughout the ages. Easily the worst the art has ever been for any game GW has put out. That's the hard to swallow truth you can accept 10 years later.
>>96656706goddamnit anon, you just made the kurnoth centaurs cool, how could you.
