Crypt Guard are my favourite kit in the game
>>96680329>TQ
>>96680347I like their halberds
>>96680347Bros look like mole rats
>First named Female chorf model released in AoS>Immediately fucks up in a spectacular way>Must call upon a force of men to do the job for her after fucking up>Can't win without men doing all the hard workWhat did GW mean by this?
>tqThe shields are the only thing I'm not a 100% sold on but the humble saurus warrior still easily clears
>>96680365Your post was not amusing enough to warrant being reposted in the new thread.
>>96680329Are there any proxies out there for modest Daughters of Khaine witch aelves? Give them pants at least
>TQKairics probably have the coolest looking shields in any of the warhammer settings. Their weapons and masks are also a highlight, but the best part are the muscles.
>>96680329>TQPutrid Blightkings
>>96680346kewl, thanks anon.
>>96680373You're so worthless you weren't even worth aborting.
>>96680365They were trying to say women are, on the whole, retarded and should never lead.They are not wrong to say this.
>>96680365Why are Chaos Dwarves so popular? Like I get they are a new AoS faction and they used to be a thing in Fantasy but the hype for them is a lot.
Do you have any wishlist suggestions for new CoS units/models?
>>96680422Kurnothi horse-aelf archers to fill the vacancy left by the pistoliers.
>>96680421One of the better model ranges, their lore is actually quite well written, there's the meme factor obviously and also the fact that Chorfs were popular in TWW3.All of this combined to make Helsmiths a popular release.Whether or not it's a good thing is up to you.>>96680407Based.
You are all homosexuals
>>96680422Living city or grey water stuff is easy for gw to capitalize on. But if they insist on making cities human only, maybe prop up lethis more.
>>96680432See >>96680374
>>96680432I just don’t like their poses.
>>96680438My point is doubly so for burkha bro.>>96680443They're good poses, lithe, sexy, dangerous
>>96680459I mean sure but I feel like they're gonna fall off if I try transporting them. I generally hate models where the connection points all being put on a single aspect of a model rather than on two points.
>>96680422Anything that adds more nonhuman soldiery and wacky beasts (i.e. not horses and dogs).
>>96680421Been teased/rumoured for the better part of a decade by now. Some additional hype coming from total war, and their lore has been widely well received. Models are love or hate but seems to have a good amount of fans. Looks like they could be pretty fun to paint too.>>96680422I wanna see dorfs and elves, a unit of freeguildified irondrakes or hammerers or whatever would be cool to see. Elves are a bir more difficult to fit into the new freeguild aesthetic though. Maybe as rangers and stuff?
>>96680376I like the shield and mask, but I dont' understand why they're basically nake wearing loincloths. I don't know if they really count as "battleline" infantry but I feel like jade obelisk fits tzeentch a lot better, having wizardy hooded robes, hidden faces and gems on them.
>>96680432You are a sissy troon
>>96680422I'd like some sharpshooters. The fusiliers don't quite fit the bill with their shield wall. Maybe using rifles based on the luminark magitek instead of gunpowder.
>>96680422>Wishlist City Aelves and Duardin with a shared style. Aelf greatswords and archers, Dorfs engineer and irondrakes (more grounded in some semblance of logic instead of magic flamethrowers this time) >Expectations Devoted refresh: Flagellant, Warpriest, Flagellant hero, generic war altar/palanquin/reliquary
>>96680436I don't think they'd add city specific anything considering cities in gameplay terms are gone and the fluff is pretty much irrelevant given muh castlelite >>96680430That Dawnbringers marshall who let her Ghyran blood take over could lead some similar green bloods but I doubt we'll get Kurnothi beyond a Merc RoR
>>96680573>I doubt we'll get KurnothiWhich sucks. CoS was the wood elf reserve for years. There's no good reason why they shouldn't get this stuff to replace what they lost.
>>96680422>arch knights infantry, each with its own different grotesque style helmet >arch knights on various different gargolyan steeds instead of demigryphs>arch knight on urgargolyant behemoth instead of griffon>new flagellants double kit for either cult of the wheel, or the bolt brethren >witch hunters retinue >witch hunter's pyre wagon>steam tower instead of the steam tank>titanic cog fortress>aqua ghyranis mage>azyrite priest>gargolyans whisperer>priestly manifestations that represent gargolyan swarms and the icons they carry or cluster around >metalith with supplies as scenery piece
>>96680422Some guy in the previous thread mentioned leadbelchers going to cos when they get replaced by big mantrapper crossbows. While I don't see that happening I do think it's be cool to expand on city ogres a little bit. The maw prophet or whatever is against gunpowder, so the ogres who specialize in that sort of shit flee to the cities and get trained by the ironweld. Some fucking dwarfs leading artillery ogres would be cinema.>>96680520Warcry warbands really were the best models gw made weren't they
>>96680587Worse still>Introduce Kurnothi with a novella featuring a human in their clan They retconned all that, though. New Kurnothi aren't Wanderers and they never had any relation to Cities. Wanderers never existed I guess
>>96680599just because wanderers stopped being mentioned doesn't mean they stopped existing it's like halflings
>>96680609Are halflings a thing in aos?
>>96680615They've been mentioned.
it'll be funny to see whether aos or tow gets a claim on halflings first, even as a random off bit.
>>96680615The Harrowdeep novels lists a Halfling corpse among various others being hung by Kruleboyz or the cursed place itself. That's it beyond the Slaanesh guy who is probably just a freaky chaos mutant considering the rest of the model
>>96680634ToW already mentions the Moorland and Halflings
>>96680466They're perfectly fine. Khinerai are one that worried me, I have knocked their arms off a bunch, but they have never come off their bases.>>96680528You wish
>>96680652yeah but miniature wise.
>>96680682I'd expect them, they love their made to order runs
You guys think cogforts are in the cards, and if so, what do you figure they'll look like? The artwork makes them look huge and spiderlike. Personally I wanna try and scratchbuild one to look like a little tower/rook on wheels, like picrel. I guess I could sort of proxy it as a gargant in the meanwhile.>>96680682Would be a perfect little underworlds warband. 4 or 5 of the little guys, then a leader riding a big rooster ;)
>>96680636>who is probably just a freaky chaos mutantA barefoot chef? It's a halfling.
Reposting from the tow thread.Long shot but does anyone happen to remember a pic shares here a few weeks/months ago of some black and white dwarf (concept?) art that featured ridiculously "round" armour? It's been on my mind lately but when I have so little to go off it's kinda hard to search
>>96680731warmahordes had some cogforts
>>96680934Are you talking about the forgeworld Chorfs?
>>96681173I'm pretty sure it was normal dorfs, just styled in very weird armour. Almost saturnine-like.
>>96680731The TGA rumors that they coming however not during COS tome release but for the end of the edition stuffwe don't know but apartly Hasting (he was like an very old source on WHF) mentioned how AOS going to be getting a pretty big model and it look something straight out of elden ringso i assume it going to be something like the Walking mausoleum just replace the stone part with mechanical legs
>What's the best looking battleline infantry unit?
>>96680421The appeal in WHF for me was their machinery but the HoH are kind of failing to deliver in that aspect
>>96680421I think its because they're exploring the reverence the smiths have for hashut. At least, it is for me. the lore for the sentinels have me stoked to see more of that religious background become more fleshed out. For now ill have to be contnent with the ashen eldar and the bvlls. Which isnt much but I dont think whf ever really go in depth on their religion. Or even give them priests.
it's literally over
Rate my Mighty Lord of Khorne.
>The new Underworlds bundle boxes are finally available for pre-order>$2 more than the old ones THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
>>96681644>sylvaneth are in sylvaneth>shocking revelation
>>96681655So are they getting rid of the old ones or...? I'm new here.
>>96681855No
>>96681861Ah, right. Thanks. UW looks cool.
>>96680365>Must call upon a force of men to do the job for herThat doesn't make any sense Anon, the new Chaos Dwarfs have men and women in their armies, so she called upon a force of men AND women
>>96681648Enormous gap. Skin on the guy needs shading, needs basing
>>96680421>Why are Chaos Dwarves so popular?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTFywoAXuQU
>>96680421>dwarves are popular>evil factions are popular>demons are popular>big machines are popular>combine everythingThey've got a lot going for them, and like that other anon said, they're awesome in TWW3. Their trailer helped establish what a cool faction they are
>>96682095Wow cool giant daemon engine I can't wait to buy and paint it! Surely it exists for either of the systems featuring chorfs as an army!!!
>>96682097Wrong picture though
>>96682095>2.7 million views on the original video for a dlc trailernot bad
>>96682104
>>96682097>dwarves are popularCitation needed
>>96682118Now with lore-accurate background.
>>96682142I mean in a general sense, LOTR cemented dwarves as an extremely prevelant and popular fantasy race.
>>96682145hell yeah
>>96682145Is that WoW? I've never played so I'm not sure what the bit here is. Does WoW have evil dwarves?
>>96682159I think its that final fantasy game
Workin on Rotigus, spent all day gettin him worked on.
>>96682206Thats rad.
>>96682145looks cool, are you planning on using that as a backdrop for your chorfs?
>>96682159>Does WoW have evil dwarves?yes and no. it has dwarves who are evil, and it has 3ish races of dwarves, but it doesnt have a race that is exclusively all evil dwarves. very few races in wow are explicitly evil. only ones off the top of my head that are evil to a man would be the old godsfor the most part anything evil in that game is an evil part of an otherwise neutral or good force.
>>96682206reminds me of sully from monsters inc
>>96682145I fucking hate that gun design
>>96682145This isn't the own people think it is and it's funny when it's posted in an attempt to diss chorfs.
>>96682159Dark Iron dwarves (the fiery ones with dark skin who everyone wants to fuck) were villains who then united with the other dwarves to make a dwarf soup of Mohawk Berserker flying dwarves, mountainy armored regular dwarves, and the dark iron slightly evil fiery dwarves. They got wrangled in by a queen who took over after you kill her husband in original wow.
>>96681644Nigger i's been that way since forever
Anyone have the KO book?Copy I have missing a few pages.
>>96680365>black chorf with cartoonishly, borderline racist caricature big lips and nose and a fucking dreadlock beard, just to make sure you can't possibly make him look like a normal chorfHahahahaha, holy shit, this company
>>96682097>>demons are popularlollmao
>>96682206Is the 2nd arm-head a 2nd personality?
>>96680597Big fan of gargolyans, huh?
>>96683173You aren't?
>>96682864>black chorf with cartoonishly, borderline racist caricature big lips and nose and a fucking dreadlock beard, just to make sure you can't possibly make him look like a normal chorfIt matters not, I WILL be painting mine white.>>96681958>the new Chaos Dwarfs have men and women in their armiesOnly if your a cock sucking troon. All my Helsmiths use the bearded options and I will be proxying both the female models in Spitewood.
>>96682118
Reveals coming today
>>96683247>I MUST CONSUME!!!!!!!!!!!Fuck off, zoomer.
>>96683247Reveals tomorrow, today preorder announcements for next week.And even then it's still just more underworlds stuff.We're not allowed to see any new release for mainline aos until the rest of the hoh are released, or it breaks the hype train.
>>96680421Also helps that ironically they're the most traditional dwarf army in aos. Fyreslayers and kharadron scratch a different itch>>96680597>>arch knight on various gargoylian steedsAlright knights riding mansized versions of these fuckers would be unbelievably soulful.
If I want a Spearhead that pairs well with pic related for fun, casual games with friends, which one is best:>old Nighthaunt>Nighthaunt - Cursed Shacklehorde>old Seraphon (the one with the big dino)Also how much of a sin is it to put the Weirdbrute masks on the Brute Ragerz?
>>96683272>Also how much of a sin is it to put the Weirdbrute masks on the Brute Ragerz?I don't think many know the difference between the units.
>>96683272Thematically Dinos fit the best, but it looks like you realy want a NH box, eo maybe the new one.I think mask is secondary, it's the weapons that realy determin which build it is
>>96683283Dwarf Slayer vs Goblin Fanatic, but both are Orruks now
They've hinted at it a good few times but how long until we actually see the Lumineth throw down with the "dark elves" of the setting?! Malerion's folk or Morathi's, I just want to see the Dark Elf/High Elf conflict they've been setting up already!Fuck, even the first ever Lumineth battletome has Malerion kidnapping and torturing a Lumineth mage, and we know thanks to Broken Realms that Tyrion has been testing his borders lately. WHEN?!
>>96683259I want more Gargoylians in general, honestly. Big or small.
>>96683315>WHEN?!Soon™Would these Spearheads even be fun to put up against each other?
>>96683315Not an elf edition sadly. Malerion will pop up when the last chain binding slaanesh breaks and all elves universally shits themselves.Only then will he be revealed.
>>96683356The Soul Wars, all of 2nd edition for that matter, was peak AoS writing.
>>96683284>Thematically Dinos fit the best, but it looks like you realy want a NH box, eo maybe the new one.Why do dinos fit best thematically?I like all three boxes actually, two Nighthaunt is coincidence as I like both loadouts of bedsheets while the Sunblood Seraphon don't really appeal to me that much somehow. Big dinos > small dinos.>I think mask is secondary, it's the weapons that realy determin which build it isI gave them the spikey flails to make the units easier to identify on the field. Brutes are choppy, Ardboyz are stabby and Ragerz are smashy.
>>96683328If you get that far. Both look like a PAIN to paint.
>>96683182Nah I like them, GW should make something like pic related and have them be Cities fodder
>>96680422Give me generic lord that rides the cool ass manticore, dammit!
What would be good manifestations for HoH?
>>96683396Kind of weird that they didn't make her have a generic lord option, I mean she already comes with 4 weapons and 2 heads, should've just put one more in there. Now that I think about it basically the entire nuCities range lacks dual build options. Compare that to chorfs where nearly every single unit comes with two warscrolls. Really helps with getting the most out of the kits imo.
>>96683412some kind of a demon forge, like a summoned anvil that buffs priests and wizardsmaybe a demonic land mine, or a multi-base summon thats a series of mines, detonates if anything moves close to it for splash damageand the flaming taurus spell from beasts of chaos, just straight up steal that one, hell just repackage the model
>>96683315>setting up I've never noticed this
>>96682206That's blue to me
>>96683478It's in the background but it's clear the gods are slowly but surely falling out and the conflict between them in brewing.If it ever actually goes anywhere, however, remains to be seen...
>>96683419they did that for the new zombie dragon kit too, very bizarre, but then did do a generic version of the new infernal taurus for HoHGW is completely schizophrenic internally. actual madmen run the production design, nothing they do makes sense and there is no consistent logic to any of it
>>96683454Well I suppose its better than letting it go to waste since Beastmen have been banished to the Old WorldHope they return as fodder for slaves to darkness or something
>>96683485I don’t know if they’re slowly falling out, they’re doing border skirmishes with one another and mutually trying to find a way to enter each other’s realms in order to invade them, it’s boiling away
>>96683550What's their beef here anyways? Are Tyrion and Malerion still salty over the stuff that happened in the old world?
>>96683485>It's in the backgroundSo, it's your headcanon? Godsbane has LRL locking up those thought criminals who question Morathi so I'd say it's the opposite if anything just as Sigmar sides with Morathi over
>>96683550>>96683558Daughters of Khaine and Lumineth battletomes mention that none of the aelf gods (except Tyrion and Teclis) ever really got along and were just working together to stop Slaanesh so based on how their testing the borders and Malerion is kidnapping Lumenith I'm assuming he never really planned to stay friendly with either of Hysh gods forever and has got some scheme brewing.The way it's worded in the Broken Realms short, interestingly, seems to imply Tyrion is the one trying to push into Ulgu and is the one pressing against Malerion's borders so it'd actually be kinda cool if it's Tyrion that starts the war instead of shadowboi.
>>96683570>So, it's your headcanon?"‘They will be brought to heel. But the Twins have become emboldened by the victory of light over death. The blind one tests my borders as we speak.’‘Vicariously, at least.’‘For now,’ said the shade. ‘The Hyshians are seekers, always probing, always shining light where it is not wanted. If the Lords of Lumination find a stable path through Cathartia before we are in full control, the shroud will soon tear, and our entire notion of supremacy will be at risk.’"https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/VYeYQtdx/broken-realms-fiction-to-cast-a-long-shadow/Clearly, yep.Dumb cunt.
>>96683571Would be neat to see Tyrion do something, since his brother pretty much hogged all the limelight during lumineth's debut
>>96683578LRL aren't colonialists, they only want to fight back against chaos. Morathi doesn't want the help for selfish reasons, not that Lumineth are at war with them So it is your headcanon. That's fine, WHF was loved after all, but it doesn't mean AoS is the same
>>96683595>Literally states Tyrion is testing his borders and Malerion worries about his supremacy in Ulgu>Nah, they'd never fight or work against one another it's all headcanon.OK retard.
>>96683558uncleargrombrindal has a short story in the latest white dwarf issue where he talks about various gods, and he said he's visited malerion and found him well, making him think he went back to his good natureif there's beef between the light elves and shadow elves I think it will all be pinned onto a matter of the two sides blaming the other for some lacune in their responsibilities regarding chaos>hyshian: the chains are weakening on YOUR side, you're making shem escape because you're taking more souls than agreed and because morathi has done something!>ulguan: no you were the ones who overdosed on lightmeth and threw nukes at each other, causing the age of chaos! and you are the ones dumping your negatively charged spent crystals down to our realm!but I think what should really be addressed is why malekith became the god of shadows when he was asuryan's chosen and the appointed "eternity" king of elvenkind, something is afoot with that and it surely can't sit well with malerion
>>96683605>‘Teclis is laying the groundwork already. Under his delusions of altruism, he knows it is the only true path.’ Morathi-Khaine smiled, but there was no mirth in it.Morathi thinks Teclis would devolve into war to enforce order, but that's just her perspective and the novella's entire contents are questioning her logic. You are grasping at straws because MUH WHF. Broken Realms was half a decade ago and nothing came of your hopes
>>96683315I don't think that will ever explode into a rivalry as fierce, open and drastic as the one between the high elves and dark elves of old, because gw in its paramount idiocy has decided to lump everyone into order
>>96682118Who did this? I find it oddly familiar, but I can't place it.... Also Google search has an (unwanted, but humorous) AI prompt saying it was Gul'dan.
>>96683595>accuses other of headcanon>gets btfo by a direct quote>starts inventing reasons why the quote akshually isn't true (i.e. headcanon)Kek you love to see it
>>96683595
>>96683595LRL are absolutely colonialists in the sense they’d ideally control the realms like the British controlled India, deciding what’s best for them. The Lumineth are explicitly engaging in border skirmishes where they’re the agresssors as much as ones where they’re the defenders, and Tyrion is explicitly seeking a way to enter Ulgu in order to truly begin a war with them. Whatever the motivation they tell themselves, they aren’t a purely defensive force here. They aren’t at war with the DoK because the DoK are wholly unrelated to the ulgurothi, outside of Morathi being related to Malerion.
>>96683685>because the DoK are wholly unrelated to the ulgurothithat's bullshit
>>96683660>Morathi thinks X >X never came to pass This means Teclis has death camps for witch aelves because... total war Warhammer
Hold on did they have a second run of HoH army boxes? Was sold out for the longest time in yurop but looks like it's back now. They should really announce this sort of thing.
>>96683727what they really should do is start taking preorders by the time of reveal, so they can make at least as many as there's demand for
>>96683685Lumineth are not fighting DoK, they're fighting Chaos. Morathi wants sole dominion of the land and an iron grip on her populace - which she can't have if Lumineth save them. Never has any piece of fluff suggested violence between the two people.
>>96683738What they really should do is to stop with this FOMO shit at all. Start with your regular product line, not some super special limited edition run that delays the actual product by months.But that would require some kind of self control among their numale and zoomer audience.
>>96683685I think you got interventionism and colonialism mixed up.
>>96683739DoK are chaos
>>96683727ehh its not available on the store I'd buy it on so its whatever.
>>96683744It's morally good for gw to economically abuse their numale and zoomer audience.If you can't wait for the product, then you're the one without self control.
>>96683727I think they're trying to undercut scalpers.
>>96683685This anon ^ gets it.
>>96683756Yeah fair point.But it puts the hobby in a very "fast fashion" like encironment that draws in the wrong people and creates an annoying atmosphere in general.
>>96683739>Never has any piece of fluff suggested violence between the two people.MALERION CAPTURES AND TORTURES A LUMINETH MAGE IN THEIR 1ST BATTLETOME! DOK KILL A LUMINETH BLADEMASTER WHILE TAKING CONTROL OF HAR KURON!That's two examples I can think of off the top of my head, you fuck!
>>96683605Aelves are carbon copy of Aeldari. They don't fight each other since they serve humans.
>>96683791At least try and come up with good bait
>>96683805I think it was an attempt towards a jest.
>>96683777>DOK KILL A LUMINETH BLADEMASTER WHILE TAKING CONTROL OF HAR KURON!Worse, actually. They drag away a wounded aelf to sacrifice him to Morathi.
>>96683816Source:https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/HU8SxYfx/broken-realms-thicker-than-water/But yeah, clearly >>96683739 is totally correct, never any violence between 'em or anything...
>>96683805>wraithbone instead of metall and general divergence towards speed rather than armor and martial might>path system>sidekicks of "totally not space marines">no cool units or monstersSeems pretty close
IDK are the dark elves to LRL's High Elves, not DoK or Malerion
Has anyone ever tried to shove two Spearhead boards together and have a 4-on-4 battle?
>>96680422
>broken realms story of scourge privateers saving Anvilgard Resistance members and stating their opposition to Morathi regardless of their race >CoS just went on to squat Aelves and memoryhole Anvilgard I hate this corporate slop
>>96683859They are closer to Dark Eldar>swift pirates-like who hunts for souls but with sharks and turtles instead of jetbikes and raiders
>>96683867You wanted diversity and new CoS range gave it to you. So you don't have any reasons to complain.
>>96683859It's true but IDK are allied with Morathi in subtle opposition to LRL
>>96683739What are you talking about? I didn’t say they were fighting the DoK, I said the opposite, they’re unrelated to the ulgurothi that the Lumineth are fighting with? I don’t even know what you’re talking about with the Lumineth “saving” the populace, what she wants for her own domain is different for what she wants for the DoK embedded in cities of sigmar, and khainite cities don’t really have non-khainite populations outside of Anvilgard/Har Kuron. Are you trying to say the Lumineth want to invade ulgu to save it from Morathi or something?
>>96683864>Just release the Kurnothi alreadyWho even are the people asking for this?
>>96683895Wanderers/Wood Elves fans Ghost elves in trees doesn't count and is really weird
>>96683895Me.
>>96683895People who played Living City before the 4e.
>>96683889Why is Tyrion at war with Ulgurothi? I've only read they were allies from the core books, where do I read about this?
>>96683895Sylvaneth players.
>>96683917Brother wars
>>96683904>Ghost elves in trees doesn't count and is really weirdSylvaneth and Bonereapers are weird factions. They're examples of when you take an idea too far.It worked with the Ironjawz and Kharadon, and kindof with the DoK and Fyreslayers. But who even likes Demonic Treemen or Bony Necrons?
>if you like wood elves, try playing fairy ghostsno
Elf fags are loose in the thread again. Who left the cage open?
>>96683895People who never played Sylvaneth, but who want to play Sylvaneth, but who don't want to play Sylvaneth using Sylvaneth models.
>>96683922I do like the revenants but they feel like they should be a supplement of something rather than the main focus.
>>96683921I think it worked quite well for the boneboys and it could work for Sylvaneth if they get regular elves backWith kurnothi centaurs in the last Underworlds release we may see them tho
>>96683923They just got bored as they can't fuck each other.They are all bottoms naturally.
>>96683921OBR are too tame imo, the body horror was toned down for more genetic skeleton units, but I get where you're coming from Making wood elves magic trees themselves seems like a logical AoS twist
>>96683926The only thing stopping me from playing sylvaneth is the crutch on Ariel and the need for 3 kits of trees. The latter is more of an issue than the former.
>>96683904>Ghost elves in treesWhere did anons get the idea they're ghosts? The past couple weeks I've seen weird posts claiming the elf parts are incorporeal. And I recall way back anon was pushing the idea that Alarielle was bodyjacking dryads by inserting elf souls in them. Does nobody read their fluff?
>>96683936its the paint scheme.
>>96683930Nah boneboys suck.They look too much like all those bone growth diseases to work with their eastern warrior aesthetic and don't work as body horror as they don't really lean into that enough and are too clean.They are just calcium Necrons that try too be too much like Necrons but after a round of the "Can I copy your homework?" meme.
>>96683928Yeah, they could be the ancestor spirits or mortal Aelves or something. It's odd to present an entire civilisation that isn't just trees but a weird mockery of mortal lives as well. I remember how weird they were in RGW and legends fluff but somehow most people just let that pass? It doesn't really matter to most how their faction lives or eats and such so the reality of the miniatures is irrelevant. Mute ghost Seraphon communicating with Stormcasts in nods is less alien than Revenants
>>96683922Come to think of it it's kinda weird that everyone's been saying for years that Kurnothi should be an expansion to sylvaneth instead of CoS even though CoS became the home of all the old wood elf models.
>>96683947>I remember how weird they were in RGW and legends fluff but somehow most people just let that pass?Most people don't give a fuck about fluff.
>>96683936The default paint scheme and the fluff stating they take the form of old Aelves suggests it's malleable. They aren't forging their weapons in smithies, it's a magical manifestation and extension of themselves. The one subfaction with metal weapons is said to absorb the minerals from the ground to grow them. I didn't mean ghosts as spirits but as the name suggests revenants, I guess?
AOS FACTION AESTHETIC POWER RANKING:1. Bigger, Brighter & Angrier Orks2. Angry Armed Halloween Decoration Bedsheets3. Ancient Alien Dinosaurs....Everything else.
>>96683961>1. Bigger, Brighter & Angrier OrksIronjawz, Kruleboyz, or both?
>>96683950Everyone always said Wandered should join Sylvaneth, Alarielle forgave them, etc tbf but yeah, Cities fit more with what Wanderers were regardless; reclaiming the land including the lost laylines and of course every city has a perimeter the Wanderers would guard and watch. It always reminded me of the Gilead novels minus the xenophobia. He was a Helf but fit the mould Prince Maesa presents.
>>96683958>it's a magical manifestation and extension of themselvesNo it's not.
>>96683970They are lumped into the warclans to yeah, both
>>96683976Bruh, Ironbark fluff says the weapons are grown as part of them. Sylvaneth do not have weapon factories or smithies. There's no Kurnoth hunter carving his bow
>>96683825You forgot retarded weapon like vibro-cannons and web throwers (unusable pikes and bows and crocket hammers)
>Tree Revenants>Ummm where does it say they're ghosts?
>>96683889>the Lumineth want to invade ulgu to save it from Morathi or something?But Morathi only controls like 1/13th of Ulgu. The rest belongs to Malerion.
>>96683970Ironjawz I think.Kruleboyz aren't that big in comparsion and they are not that bright. Their whole aesthetic is the archetypical dirty and ruddy orc look.
>When active, Tree-Revenants appear to be a strange combination of tree-like being and glowing, aelf-like spirit. Their aelfin aspect is said to be inspired by the ancient legends of the Protectors - mysterious beings who watched over the sylvaneth in a time before time. Even their weapons, banners, and ritualized fighting styles are said to be inspired by racial memories of these beings that are held within their lamentiri >When dormant, Tree-Revenants resemble nothing more than a vaguely humanoid tree, with their spirit-body vanishing while they slumber. Curiously, an active Tree-Revenant weighs considerably more than the same Tree-Revenant when dormant, with their spirit-body having real weight.
We must RETVRN to proper Wood Elves
>>96684028>wood elf>is made of metalLol, poser
>>96684013Kruleboyz are the cunning(smart) counterpart to the Ironjawz brutal(brutal) approach, no?
>>96684013> aren't that big in comparsionthey're weedier but they're about the same height, KB might even be a little taller, though KB lack a brute style mid range unit.
>>96684028Sorry no hot chicks in our fictional world
>>96684032Yes, but Ironjawz are smarter than a baseline, run-of-the-mill orc. They use tactics, they actually make armor and equipment themselves instead of some dark lord doing it for them.Kruleboyz are the smarter orruks, but they are all a notch above, so I still think that was about Ironjawz as the bigger and brighter part doesn't fit the Kruleboyz.Also Ironjawz are more creative and cooler looking than then LotR derivative Kruleboyz.
>>96684032I think that post meant "bright" as in brightly coloured, not as in smart.
>>96684047>LoTR derivative Yes, in as much as GW created the image of a LoTR Orc in the 80s with their own range?
>>96684043How is top left not a racist caricature but actually counts as inclusion and representation?!
>>96684043middle isnt even that bad. should have used the cos knight instead
>>96684056>Yes, in as much as GW created the image of a LoTR Orc in the 80s with their own range?You think?I know the modern orc imagery is heavily influenced by WoW, and Warcraft lifted it's orcs right from Warhammer and GW made them green first, but I don't really see the connection to the LotR orcs. Not even with the movie depictions.
>>96684043Krethusa's feet>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>96684078This.
>>96681539Absolutely. I think second Helsmiths of Hashut wave will explore their religious aspect. Which from the current lore sounds really amazing and has the potential to be the best written Chaos religion if explored properly.Praise the Bullfather!
Been away for a while - when Dark Elf/Thong-elves coming?
>>96684173check back when hedonites or dok or lumineth get their battletome first.
>>96684072GWs original D&D and Lotr Orc line was influential and the Weta Workshop/Howe Orcs are closer to GW than the prior prevailing Asian mongol style Orc tbhon Kruleboyz feel like classic citadel Orcs to me
>>96684173Witch Aelves will get pants/trousers. Thong Elves will be squatted
>>96684203Dont you put that evil on me.
>>96684197>GWs original D&D and Lotr Orc line was influential and the Weta Workshop/Howe Orcs are closer to GW than the prior prevailing Asian mongol style Orc tbhonDid not know that, thanks anon.>Kruleboyz feel like classic citadel Orcs to meBut LotR might have influenced it too.Bit like Zerg are a Tyranid derivative but then Zerg influenced Tyranid design too.
What happened to Greatsworders? I remember the prominent story of one in a tavern for the 3rd edition's core book section for CoS and the original art of one for a crusade pulling a metalith, but they just disappeared after being squatted?
>>96684218Idk you can just look at MESBG to see the distinction
>>96684203but i will still get a sorceress in thong on dragon right? right?
>>96684243They're clearly not the same, but as I said, look similar.Also I'm currently looking at classic Citadel lines for DnD and LotR.
>>96684231>What happened to Greatsworders?forget about them
>>96684231Every squatted CoS unit goes right down the memory hole, never to be seen again. Eventually I'm sure we'll get Archknights or something similar as a replacement.
Full unit of archknights on foot feels like an obvious choice for a cos second wave. Then again gw has refused to go for the obvious choice quite a bit of times.
>>96684447The Nurgle leaker said they're getting exactly that
archknight kino incoming >unit >WH Quest hero
>>96684559I’m still mad that one arch knight hero was a limited time thing.
>>96684447it seemed fairly likely thats what they were getting when they revealed that alternate sculpt that also had an animal heraldry theme, although they really reeeaaaaalllly should have been in the first wave
>>96684567GW wanted to trick people into buying Hammerers/Executioners
I picked up Dominion at a big discount and I don't know shit about AoS otherwise. >What are good ways to expand on the Stormcast and Kruleboyz?>Is the killabow worth it?>Should I go for more Kruleboyz or mix them with the Ironjawz?There's an overwhelming amount of stormcast models to the point they're blending together for me so a suggestion for them would be welcome too
Fluff here. Like, all of it. Get ctrl+f-ing through that shit.https://pastebin.com/mpzdU12x
>>96684671Oh nice.
>>96684671wasn't it faster to take pictures?
>>96684611as far as stormcast go, a good rule of thumb is that the more elite a unit is, the better it is for them. so like the big 500pt dragons, dragonriders, the elite 3 man specialist units. their more numerous 5 man units arent terrible, they just wont blow your hair back, they tend to be pretty basic, but as a rule everything in the army has a 3+ save and usually hits and wounds on 3s or better, so its hard to make like a disastrously wrong choice, just avoid the "fatcast" units, they arent long for this world (they will be somewhat obvious, pic related. shorter, chunkier, different armor style). if you can get a good price on the skaventide stormcast half thats not a bad buy either, you can get it for around $100-120, and comes with about as much as the dominion stormcastfor kruleboyz, a single killbow is decent, its kind of niche but useful when it works. more than that is overkill. gutrippaz and boltboyz are your bread and butter. reinforced for fighting or minimum unit size for objectives and screening. hobgrots are also useful for screening and are cheap, but are never good enough to be a muscle unit you play around. monsta killaz are a weird small unit skirmishy melee anti monster infantry unit that some people really like. i prefer gutrippaz. swampcalla shamans are great. killabosses on foot are a waste, killaboss on gnashtoof got a new warscroll thats good. sludgeraker boss and mirebrute troggoth are must haves in my opinion. neither kit is insanely expensive and they add some much needed melee punch behind your gutrippaz and make good artifact caddys. vulcha boss does too but he's $200 for 200pts, and thats kinda bad value compared to the sludgerakers $60 for 250pts. sloggoth (drums guy) is niche and doesnt play well with the army outside of a very specific kragnos build. kragnos is strong but if you get him your whole army has to revolve around it. mixing kruleboyz and ironjawz is fun but not good
>>96684611and you can get some cheap stormcast and kruleboyz units herehttps://www.hachettecollections.com/en-us/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-stormbringer/?_kx=Ij5vrHwMm2Sw7_cw89tuLxIM68CvJvnfFI1bV4Cfn80.XtBy8rif you're in a region they deliver to
>>96684671>The Kurnothi are not a single species but a gathering of aelves, centauroids, tree-folk and other entities that pay homage to the Hunter God. Most — but not all— are Sylvaneth, forest spirits bearing seed-like organs known as lamentiri and possessing an elemental connection to the Realm of Life. Others are mortal beings of flesh and blood, imbued by lineage or divine blessing with the hot-blooded aggression of their patron. Are the centauroids not aelves or something?
>>96684731I really like the spears.
>>96684688Sure but I don't see a point in it. I'm just finding flip-through vids, grabbing screenshots, run those through an app that parses and spits out text from the image, and then I do some minor editing where the software couldn't correctly parse the text.It's very little work and doesn't take very long. It could be done for free and by anyone with internet access. Mostly this is for my sake since I like being able to view searchable text instead of staring myself blind at blurry video reviews until there's an OCR scan of the content.
>>96684765cool artwork
>>96684743I figure they're just aelves who've been mutated as a result of Kurnoth's influence. Like Marshal Thorian in the Dawnbringers campaign.
>>96684567>these proportionsThe fuck is wrong with GW sculptors?
>>96684800They're just knights, anon, there's no horse in the picture, your pavlovian conditioning is misfiring.
>>96684671>The Spitewood's trees are well watered with the blood of the hunted, and Kurnotheal's vibrant aura causes them to grow tall and strong. Drawn by such vitality, an unusually large variety of hives can be found tucked away in the Spitewood's hollows — home to mischievous nature spirits known as ‘spites’ that watch over the forest and spy on trespassers.Then give me that shit instead. A warband of trickster spites with a gimmick of squatting on terrain tokens sounds a fuckton more interesting than a second pass of the goddamn furries.
>>96684809>They're just knights,Their bodies and weapon deformed harder than SCE.Seems more like they tried to copy heavily stylized and saturated design from Souls but ended up making cartoonishly clumsy.
>>96684844no they didnt
>>96684671>Ghyran expansion for UnderworldsI've been waiting on this since Nightvault.>the setting is literally just Gnarlwood again>with literally Skaeth's Wild Hunt in the launch box again>and Embergard's metaplot of "fighters gather to compete for realmstone that is widely available everywhere else" againAnother finger curls on the monkey's paw. The limits of the studio's imagination are becoming frustratingly apparent.
>>96684743Third Kurnothi release Third retcon This shit is so fucking stupid
Why is it so hard to believe that "Kurnothi" has always meant "of or pertaining to Kurnoth"? It seems like the most obvious reading of that word.
>>96684855Nice defense mechanism.
>>96684800The left guy is meant to be lean and agile, its stylization, not sure whats your issue with the guy on the right tho
>>96684943Cursed City explicitly said otherwise, it's a retcon
>>96684943Because anon is autistic, ready your bingo sheet.
>>96684809>They're just knights, anon,>meanwhile actual knights>hands aren't twice huge as legs>moderated sized shoulderpads>not a single angular element made with industrial accuracy
>>96684962cool
>>96684951>not sure whats your issue with the guy on the right thoGeee I wonder>>96684800>>these proportions
>>96684962Genuinely dont get your issue with their proportions, are you confused by the chanmail and tassets hiding too much of the legs? and angular shapes are just part of the nu-cities, their stuff IS made with industrial accuracy
retard doesnt know what heroic scale is lol
>>96684974>Genuinely dont get your issue with their proportionsOkay lol>their stuff IS made with industrial accuracySo they aren't knights, just some steampunk guys with melee weapon. Glad we agreed upon it.
>>96684984>heroic scale
>>96684985Arc-knight is a title/rank, that exists within the CoS armies, it not corresponding to the real world Knights is irrelevant
>>96684999>knight>it not corresponding to the real world Knights is irrelevant
>>96684958Nah, originally it meant blessed Aelves born as mutants. Kurnous blessed them. Then it meant a new species of isolated Aelves. Now it means Kurnous followers. It's not hard to process? Dawnbringers and 3rd was the last shift, with the Sylvaneth battletome and Dawnbringers short storyAutism is an inability to process the changes GW have made. Just because it has a certain meaning now doesn't mean it always did.
>>96684990Tf kind of issue do you have with those guys?
>>9668500290% of fantasy settings use the word Knight as "armored guy", you are fighting windmills
>>96685009>Nah, originally it meantkurnoth hunters were already kurnothi.
>>96684990those are marines, anon
>>96685014Zero. Just pointing out that heroic scale isn't excuse for trash sculpts and fucked up proportions.
>>96685036Again, can you point out the exact issue you have with those proportions?
>>96685071The horse's head is too small.
>>96685026Read 1/2e battletomes looking for that
Rumoured Behemat matriarch will be a caster, right? Surely they will fill the obvious hole instead of adding redundant units
>>96685086it says they're kurnothi in 3rd edition
>>96685104I could see it being a priest. I do wonder how allying it is gonna work, if it’ll be an ror at all that is.
>>96685109I doubt they'd make another 4 build kit. Probably same as the current Mancrusher ror
The remainder of the HoH range is getting its preorder announcement in 25 minutes, believe it.
>>96685167Oh yeah it’s Sunday. Here’s hoping it’s announced, don’t really know what else they can show off anyways. Necromunda stuff? Can’t be Killteam soon. I guess gw could do those terminators and white scar shit.
>>96681539James please more stuff with this aesthetic
>>96685194>no horns of hashutTHIS IS UNFAIR
>>96684903I think any care I had for the "story" of underworlds faded when the curse just got resolved and there's no canon version of the warbands being trapped in an endless maze beating the shit out of each other never being able to actually die.
>>96684043>only one character in this image has eyebrows
>>96685165I'm not familiar with the gargant sprues, is it possible that they split the box like they recently did for knights in 40k? So there's like a gatebreaker/krakeneater box, and a warstomper/matriarch box?>>96685167I hope so, I wanna see more ashoot
>>96685201I'm still so deeply confused as to why they didn't bring them back. It's not like the Horns are any more visually out of place in Helsmiths than, say, the Jade Obelisk is in DoT.
>>96685231They would also perfectly work in the army as the vanguard racking up desolation points, yknow, EXACTLY what their fluff has them do. Genuine shocker of a decision by gw
>>96685229I doubt they'd split th spre because 1) The main body is the same for all 5 builds of the current unit 2) They already invested in increasing the old box form 3 to 5 options
>>96685231It’s copium on my part but I’m guessing that when they get around to Warcry again they’ll put them behind some new box sets (kinda like underworlds) and they’ll give them their pity rules in HOS afterwards.
>>96685253Fuck, you're right. The unarmored ones even literally have tools for that.
>>96685267>HOSHedonites of Slaanesh?
>>96685277uh....yeah that's probably a conflicting acronym huh. I guess HS is better for Helsmiths of Hashut?
>>96685277Hernias of Shar'tor
>>96685194Because the Horns come equipped with Hashutaar, I figure they might be sponsored by elements of the Scorched Sect. And on that note, having AoR rules for a Scorched Sect crusader/missionary army could be fun. They could put that in WD. They did this for DoT already. Add some bespoke warscrolls for the Horns of Hashut and maybe some other stuff like Hobgrot Slittaz, Darkoath dudes, or whatever, and they'd be set.
>>96685167Jinxed.https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/ftpj7noz/sunday-preview-a-tale-of-three-captains/
>>96685288I really dont know how to feel knowing that whatever army of renown tzeentch gets its going to pale to this.
>>96685294Genuinely wish AoS had an army/subfaction like HarlequinsIt would go great as a kind of Slaaneshi daemon faction in the vein of the Masque
>>96685294ugh. I guess sigmars toll will be fun.
>>96685283...anon it's HoH. Helsmiths of H ashut
>>96685283HSoH, not to be confused with HoS or HeoS
>>96685105>It says they're Kurnothi after the concept of Kurnothi got added with Skaeths Wild HuntYes anon, that's the point. It's a retcon. Not really worth worrying, but it is kinda funny to see GW attempting to rework the Kurnothi lore with literally every new model release to make them fit retroactively.
>>96685294seems they have stopped giving info on what articles they do for War Comm anymore
>>96684743>Sylvaneth, forest spirits bearing seed-like organs known as lamentiriA clumsy description. Many Sylvaneth bear lamentiri, that's true, but many don't.
>>96685375The only thing WHC is consistent about is being consistently inconsistent. I think we'll probably at least get some kind of reveal tomorrow, if only because the next major preview is still a whole month away.
>>96685394They also canned the LVO reveal show due to all the leaks so they will probably parse the one that were meant for that out in the coming weeks as well
>>96685021>90% of fantasy settings use the word Knight as "armored guy"Okay, you'\ve got me here anon. Using poor writting and primitive world building as argument is pretty surprising I'll give you that.
So before I get into another fucking army, are KO any fun? How many dudes and ships would I need for a normal force? Are they one of those factions you just spam like the 1 good unit to have it work.
>>96684985Nta but I don't see why industrially produced armour would preclude them from being knights.
>>96685394I figure we might get one or two battletome cover reveals within the next couple weeks. Assuming GW isn't putting its 4e's army rollouts on pause for the next two months.
>>96685283HoH vs HoS.I don't know how S is supposed to mean Hashut to you
>>96685443Shashut.
>>96685413Yeah, trying to remember the state of things right now across different games..40K just dropped more Space Marines, and have even more Space Marines queued up, followed by more Space marinesKill Team has multiple revealed Kill Teams pending because of leak management. AoS just has the HoH full release and nothing else confirmed. TOW has literally no known pending releases atm. BB has a new edition coming this yearUWs just dropped a new box set and Warcry is still dead. At most we've got maybe one more warband announcement before the end of the year. HH probably has some more Space Marines but I don't fucking care.
>>96685416didnt get enough (yous)?
>>96685447>HH probably has some more Space Marines but I don't fucking care.I think the next big thing confirmed to be coming up is the Liber Imperium covering the non-marine stuff.
>>96685317i wish an anon would share the second episode.
>>96685447>Warcry is still dead.Yeah I'm not expecting the HoH rules to drop before the army is even up for preorder, so we could be waiting another couple weeks for that. It's not great.
>>96685447you forgot MESBG which i don't think has anything upcoming
>>96685484Sigmar's blessings upon you.https://gofile.io/d/ctY335
>>96685306the fantasy equivalent of harlequins is wardancers of loecuse the blood bowl sculpts and you're set
>>96685491Yeah, MESBG recently released a campaign book with all of the remaining anime movie characters. Pretty sure that's everything for now.
>>96685294new underworlds reveal tomorrow?warhammer quest?next pity heroes?the public execution of warcry?
>>96685584>warhammer quest?I think they'll save this for the next reveal show.
>>96684962Was this for a child
>>96685500thank you
>>96685594Maybe. But the thing is assuming it is in fact Nurgle focused, it will almost definitely come before Nurgle does. So they would need to get it out there pretty soon.
>>96685294AoS black library is in such a drought
>>96685584could be those TOW Battalion boxes that got leaked for TK and Bretonnia
>>96685594What next reveal show?
>>96685635November, I think.
>>96685633Those don't come with new models, unless you're suggesting there tow models/books reveals too.
>>96685635It's like Nov 5th or something, Warhammer Worlds?
>>96685643nah I don't think TOW will get new models this year, but GW considered the Legions Imperialis/HH Combat Force boxes to be Reveals for War Comm
>>96685643It wouldn't be the first monday reveal that was just new battalion/spearhead/combat patrol boxes.
The real issue with Kurnothi is why mortals have lamenteri? You could argue pre Spitewood it was decorative ornaments but the new models have it clearly embedded in their flesh What the fuck
>>96685584Wait is there something tomorrow I am blind and didnt see anything about this.
>>96685717warcoms been announcing new stuff on mondays recently for some reason.
>>96685717Warhammer world day celebration maybe?
>>96685500Thanks man!
>>96685726>>96685725Neat, better keep picking away at my nurgle guys then to put that energy into the aether.
>>96685625Yeah I need Van Nguyen to drop another high fantasy banger already.
>>96685699They had the lamentiri embedded into their flesh before too They have them most probably for the same reason other sylvaneth do, it imbues them with a previous soul essence granting them boons, allegedly
>>96685428Wait shit Stormbringer has ko dudes... But not the guys with cool guns just the babby transport and balloon guys..
>>96685756True, I was thinking of the other models and the CC hero Lamenteri are the soul pods Sylvaneth grow from, though? They're seeds
>>96685863Yeah, but there are sylvaneth that grow without them, so it's not a necessity.
>>96685863Lamentiri and soul pods are different things. Soul pods are plain and simple the seeds they grow from. Lamentiri are black boxes that carry their memories and may disseminate that knowledge to new sylvaneth if replanted among the soul pods.
>>96685863I did complain about the new warband just being three centaurs but I can't blame them for dropping the hideous troll doll satyrs
>>96686001glamrock/punk mohawks are quintessentially wild wood elves?
>>96686030
>>96686030Sure but I just don't like the execution for the warbandJust ignore me I don't even like elves that much
>>96686037different strokes
>>96685863>>96685879
>>96686032>>96686030it's not the 80's anymore grampa, the mohawks are wack, especially those kind
>>96681539>>96684165>>96685194>>96685231>>96685288I hope that maybe in 5th edition we get another large release for Helsmiths of Hashut. The Scorched Sect is the most interesting aspect of their lore. Hopefully they explore it.
>>96686061Oh I see, though I'm just as confused as to why they gave them to mortals. Maybe they'll explain it's a ritual implantation, though Skaeth's Hunt was born with them
>>96686069GW will never change the inspiration for Elves. Look at DoK
Kurnoth better come back as big centerpiece for Kurnothi. He gotta pound those tight bodies of Allariele and Morathi.
>>96686117Spitewood hints it won't be until 5th or the 4th finale campaign books, but Dawnbringers ended with a suggestion he'd return so idk
>>96681539Bull centaurs might be the big winner of this release IMO. Both builds look great, and I've been waiting for good BC models for years (hated the LoA ones).
>A great tree unfurled in the centre of the continent, said to be on the very spot where Kurnoth fell, and new beings flowered from soulpods buried in the earth beneath it: behemoths of root and vine that took up the horns of Kurnoth's hunt and set out as his messengers.>The Heartwood Sylvaneth — the glade of forest spirits that had accompanied Kurnoth on his hunt — sent warriors in their droves to purge the forests of daemons, settlers and would-be profiteers.>Drawn by such vitality, an unusually large variety of hives can be found tucked away in the Spitewood's hollows — home to mischievous nature spirits known as ‘spites’ that watch over the forest and spy on trespassers.Instead GW delivered another three furry fucking elves. I'm gonna stay pissed about this for a while. And that's not gonna get better if and when more of this furshit gets added to the tree faction.
>>96685605>picReminder that the Lord-Castellant with Gryph-Hound kit was dumpstered to make room for more slimcast.
>>96683645Artist goes by grimdorables and can be found on IG.
>>96680422Still salty aboud demigryphs, its not like fantasy audience liked them when they first released, and cities now have to settle for basic ass horses
>>96686215Sorry, Stormcast get all the cool stuff. How about a powerful black girlboss hero? New Devoted? Whoops, Ruination Chamber already got those
Now that the dust has settled, why did HoH flop?
painting a trench crusade mini makes me realize how much I want more Sigmarite cultists minis kinda like the lads in that Wintermaw box
>>96686285Oh shit, they restocked it?
>>96686215That I am upset about. I’d start up a lethis army and morrdas whole thing is gryph hounds and demigryphs both of which can’t really be proxied or used in there anymore…
>>96686285Still waiting for it to restock in the states.
>>96686285I'm chorf-curious but the presence of the bullnaut is really dissuading me from this box
>>96686297>>96686318If you’re in the US/Canada, there’s a ton of shops that still have stock on the Shop app.
>>96686273But James removed nearly all the endearingly pudgy fatcast models that were a huge reason why I grew to like SCE in the first place. So many of the new ones look more like SCE models made for people who never liked SCE.
>>96685625It'll stay that way until an actually good author comes along and improves the lore/world.At least Guy Haley wrote a few.
>>96686285Still waiting for the bulls and the blunderbuss boys.
>>96686285>>96686331>have broadly popular army aesthetic>don't have to share with ToW>change the aesthetic into soft Art Deco for no reasonWhat the FUCK were they actually thinking?
>>96686331I only use ebay, and its being scalped there. No idea what that app is about. >>96686357issue there is that black library is kinda dogshit to work under. Its why you see the same names of the same mediocre authors over and over releasing the same stuff.
>>96686373>No idea what that app is about.Not an ad obviously, but it's an app that aggregates online third party stores. 99% of the Shops on the app have their own websites that you can buy directly through if you don't want to use the app. Makes no sense to buy scalped sets when there's tons of stock online at 15%ish off MSRP.
>>96686387Those boxes aren’t 15% off though. They’re supposed to cost $200 msrp as is. Although I dunno if that’s the msrp in Canuck land.
>>96686373Seems like GW is just poop in general at this point.
>>96686409Those are in Canadian dollars (I am in Canada), $204 in CAD is $146 in US dollars.
>>96686215>settle for basic ass horsesYeah my main gripe with the CoS revamp is that the army has a more "grounded" characterization than before. Which might be a weird thing to say, I suppose, since the new human models are overall more ahistorical than the ones they replaced. But it's a matter of flavor, not literal appearance.
>>96686215>basic ass horsesThey are fantastical horses made to scale to tiny headed creatures. The designers of those horses have never seen a horse IRL.
>>96686436yeah I guess that is one thing they have going for them. It does make them kinda cool.
>>96686373>issue there is that black library is kinda dogshit to work under.They also pay like shit
>Orruk Warclans got Kruleboyz>Gloomspite Gitz got Gitmob>Sylvaneth got whatchamacallit elftaursWhy does GW keep doing this thing of launching huge subfactions that break theme and have no crunch synergy with the rest of the army?
>>96686207Thank you most kindly.
>>96686679I-I-It's 'Alternate Playstyles'! H-honest!>Well that's all nice and good, James- but where's the rest of the models we'd need for an actual fucking roster?Y-you've got an e-entire ra->James that's just fucking Soup because you haven't got a fucking clue on what to pad an entire range of this shit with, isn't it?Yes.
>>96686679James is retarded and what’s worse is not afraid of breaking in-coherence of factions, Krule had a pass (not really) Sun chasers inside Moon perfect enthusiast when Spiderfang exist and could have been updated to match the rest of the faction was a fucking sin.
>>96686679You lost any foot ground in this argument when you’re arguing for Kruels and dem jawz to be split.
>>96686285>sold out its entire first wave of stock in minutes>flopYou're trying way too hard to force this meme every thread
>>96686761Accept it. Mordor Hobbos and Actual Orks have nothing in commmon, besides the need for sidekicks i mean.
The amount of bait getting tossed into this thread in like the past hour is fucking insane.
Now that HoH have launched, what's the next faction to meme into being?
>>96686867People have to bomb someway the Chorfs
>>96686874Can't they shit up any other board?
>>96686868Order of Azyr.
>>96686867All my takes are sincere, not bait, and all of them are correct.
>>96686868Fimir.
>>96686868Tyranids (Silent People) into AoS.
>>96686868The land of the rising shadow, Malerion
>>96686868i still don’t have my zombie army, can we meme that into existence?
>>96686758Jumping Spiders when.
>>96686917Nah GSC need hooded spider rider not new spider units. Erase the savage looks.
>>96686902If I can't have my titty-thong-elves back, then I don't want them. They already lamed morathi and her whores, let at least our memories stay pure.
>>96686913Probably not. Call me uncreative but I can't really picture what roles there are for zombies to fill that skeletons & beasts don't already. Ranged attackers? Artillery? Kinda goes against the character of the army imho.
>>96686928Put a hood on them if you want, leave me my forest retards.
>>96686901>>96686902Logically speaking these two have the higher chances of becoming a reality Malerion, well because self’s and stuff and Silent People to save Destruction and because there are many hints about them in lore.
>>96686928I just hope they get a bit more inspired in designing the spiders themselves instead of sticking with the generic halloween spider lookThere's a LOT to work with in terms of IRL spider inspiration (jumping spiders, ogre-faced spiders, tarantulas, orb weavers, trapdoor spiders, etc) that could translate to tabletop units
>>96686764Anon it never sold out at third parties online. Both stores in my city still have boxes on the shelves. It flopped.
>>96684671i'm kind of mad they totally ignored the "kurnotheal cycled with the seasons and because nurgle struck down kurnoth in his weakest winter aspect, it got stuck in mournful winter" shit, especially when they wrote so much about the place finally blooming with renewal again.
>>96686992>ANOTHER flavor of fucking pointy earsNo.I will say it again:No. No. And No.
>>96687025Hey they deserve to flourish in a setting where slaanesh is in the cage
>>96686761They should be split because you can’t run them together without an army of renown
>>96687088>>96687088>>96687088
>>96686992>Silent PeopleAt this point, even Kragnos coming back with his own faction is more likely than that.
>>96680365>Must call upon a force of men to do the job for her after fucking upbro shes literally based on gina rhinehart
