>TQIt's in Ghyran. That's FEC main realm now since Ushorna lives there. And it's supposed to be knightly.
>>96694651i think pestigors should look closer to this than the goats showed in the box.
>>96694651Interestingly multiple Pesties have noes horns instead of normal head ones
>>96694713You can't fool me anon, I know you're asking for the silent people again!
>>96694651>tow vs aos
TQ:>root king priest>flesh eater courtier bruiser>boingrot knight>idoneth harpooneer>>96694662I wouldn't want them to go full The Fly but some insectoid appendages and various other mutations would've been fun. Looks like they went with a pretty conservative update on the older sculpts (judging from the art)
>>96694651Lets guess how many and what kind of minis we will get only for they cover comparing them with Cursed City.Big Fat Nurgle guy in the middle ---> RadukarNurgle Wizard in the background ---> Chamberlain2 Big Plaguebearers/Gut Troggs at the sides ---> Kosargi Nightguards/Zombie Ogors3 Blightkings ---> VyrkosPestigors ---> zombiesGuys in the far background ---> Skeletons4 of the 8 heroes.Still now swarms and more enemy champions showed for now.>TQCoS Ogor, FEC, Sylvanneth and big Gargoylian (like the doggy of Freeguild Command Corps)
>>96694651Rootslayer, Some weird ass revenant, Ghoul Knight, at least one big guy maybe like a mounted goblin or ogor hunter?
>>96694757We had an ogor last time. If w need a big destro guy, let it be a random Ironjaw
>>96694651That box art isn't very striking is it? especially in comparison to Cursed City
>>96694651Repeat after me: I am a pig and I eat slopI am a pig and I eat slopI AM A PIG AND I EAT SLOP
>>96694651>tqWell if we were going off the silver tower framework and they could be any faction? Maybe a vampire lady, or an ogre maneater.If we're going off the cursed city framework and it's all order GA then I think a dok hero would be cool, or kurnothi, or LRL swordswoman, or another shadow elf hoe. Basically more elves
>>96694767Actually shit, maybe a trogg who is pissed some dickheads are ruining his sleeping spot like Mollogg.
>>96694770Silver Tower is a better comaprison (and ST is better).Feels like they just don't have any unique artstyle this time
>>96694651I want another Witch Hunter (demon slayer), a Sylvaneth spirit hero(fighting the evil force messing with life) and one outsider from Order maybe a gallant Ghoul paladinbut moreover... A CIVILIZED OGOR MORE INTELLIGENT OGOR REPRESENTATION!!!
>>96694770Is this the same artist that did the og everchosen art for aos1?
>>96694791I was gonna say sad looking ultra skinny vegetarian ogor.
>>96694795Think so.. He also did some Fyreslayer and Underworld stuff
>>96694774>Anon tries to fit in without playing MtG and knowing the memes
This year's battleforces seem better thought out than the last couple years, less generalist more focused.I have 3/4 of the armies on offer and could totally buy any of those 3 boxes and use every model, including Soulblight and I have over 6000pts of them.
>>96694770CC was kino and had some of the best models even if tackled by production issues. This doesnt look half as good as that box.
>>96694818I'm holding out hopes for this box!
>>96694770It's a digital artist trying to ape older 80s fantasy painting style, so something like the cover to HeroQuest by Les Edwards
>>96694651Im sold on it but I was really hoping the warhammer quest would be a tie in to the scourge of Ghyran. Anyways there should be an obligatory skaven thrown in here, so the last three should be uh....I honestly dont fucking know. Where is dark water located in the realms?
>>96694818The one thing that irks me is how old worldy the heroes look. The water lady and the lion knight scream bretonia and the dorf doesn't look like any of the 2 types we've got. Maybe it's a secret hint that dispossessed have a new look, maybe it'll never be explained. The world will never know
>>96694853Well if the Nurgle gang realy is called Sons of Rotigus than at least we'll get more lore for exisitng character that barely did anything since he was made
>>96694651>>Thread question:>Assuming there are 8 heroes, who would you want as the other 4 in Darkwater?A doomseeking tree riddled with hives and fungi, a fully armoured chtulhuesque idoneth, a broken stormcast that should have been granted eternal rest 10 reforgings ago, a halfling with a gun bigger than himselfand for the she-knight to be actually a ghoul
>>96694865The knight looks nothing like a Bretonian horse fucker.
>>96694865I mean I'll say it, the wood elf, and ogor in cursed city looked pretty Warhammer fantasy. (Ogor especially, I think it's the pauldron with the funny face on it) I think it's fine to have call backs to older stuff though, since usually it's just specifically referencing some old obscure piece of art.
>>96694865It's a Dispossessed dwarf. They're all CoS heroes. He looks nothing like the Asterix dwarfs from ToW
>>96694881I think he got a shout out in dawnbringers but yeah they didnt really do much with him so far.
>>96694865The knight has some obvious cos design cues (they must fucking love that diamond shape in azyr), but yeah I agree. I guess trying to emulate the 80's style fantasy naturally is going to cause crossover with, well, Fantasy.
>>96694902He reminds me of the OG dungeonquest knight with the weird overly elaborate designs. It's not 1 to 1 but he kinda has the same energy.
Dispossesed should die already.Focus on FS and KO.
>>96694754Thats very austistic and interesting, anon.
>>96694894Wait... that means THIS is the CoS vs Nurgle box set???
>>96694892tbf the Ogor for Cursed City is sort of meant to be an update on the older metal orgres models, which you can get for TOW under the name Badlands Orges.So it looking like a Warhammer Fantasy update makes some sense
I still think making the animal head part bigger is all it takes to make him in line with existing CoS knights. It's just messed up because the sculptor prioretized the wings instead of the lion head when making a manticore (also that's an Order monster in AoS, but strictly Chaos in wfb)
>>96694914No. Total ordetide representation is needed.
>>96694925CoS will be cleaned from non-humans that is a fact, why even wait?
>>96694888...this is what they've been releasing for bretonnia after however many years of absence? Grimm.
>>96694933Yeah lets just ignore the ogres.
>>96694914Agreed. They need to be properly possessed by Cities and integrated with funny human hats.
What if the not breton is the named character who hates aelves and has to learn to be less racist in Darkwater
>>96694916>Wait... that means THIS is the CoS vs Nurgle box set???
What i dont like about the human with the shield and the one with the long sword is their armor is not squared enough. Compare it with CoS armor, its too spherical and smooth
>>96694988
>>96694888The helmet's topper is a reference to a bretonnian from a warhammer quest, however
>>96694988The sword guy is just weird. Idk what he's even doing there. Feels like the same archetype as the knigt, but lamer
>>96695003....so, a squire?
>>96695003he does look a bit off.
>>96695028All brave knights need a loyal squire to die for them
why we have to share a new quest with non-bretonnian knight and non-lady of the lake? was necessary?
Is Tahlias book worth a read?
>>96695062no
>>96695074why
>Remove Beastmen from AoS and move them to TOW>Add Pestigors to the AoS settingnani?
>>96695091woman
>>96694662I'm surprised there's no Ghyran theming from what we've seen beyond the association of Nurgle with Ghyran Lion rather than Stag Archknight? Water mage? C'mon
>>96695100Just like they removed Tzaan- wait shit.
>>96694785Silver Tower is great until you look at the tiles. Tzeentch incomprehensible digital vomit is the worst setting
>>96695100Are you brain damaged or were you born retarded?
>>96695113Water is associated with life dumbass
>>96694865The knight looks less out of place in CoS than the existing Archknights? He looks like a Marshal with a decorative shield and helmet.
>>96695100Because we have slaangors and tzaangors, the problem? Slaanesh with her goats and Tzeentch with his birds were actually accurated... What gets Nurgle? Bloated goats. Maybe they should stay in ToW yeah.
Khorgors, tzaangors, pestigors, slaangors, and yet no vermigors... curious...
>>96695100They just got regulated to become a npc background force in the setting rather than just ripped wholesale. Its like saying civilians dont exist in warhammer just because they don't have explicit models or artwork.
>>96695158fake chaos god
>>96695128It's drawn from her surroundings, I don't think the art will reflect her model or abilities. Plus it's titled Darkwater
>>96695158Check Mate
>>96695170She's a druid that can waterband. Life magic enough for me
>>96695170You’re saying some words. >>96695172Broken realms had some real neat art.
>>96695158Official squatting fluff says Skaven commited genocide against BoC alongside the rest of aligned chaos, which spared devoted
>>96695188That's from a 3rd edition GHB
>>96695189do you have the exact quote?
>>96695210An den great horned rat siad: "kill all di goat people"
>>96695210>Scrashsqueak: "We must fix-end this beastman question now-now. A last-end solution"
>>96695189why leave to the rats what should be the work of order or death?
>>96694651>Assuming there are 8 heroes, who would you want as the other 4 in Darkwater?Sylvaneth something-or-otherTzeentch wizardSpiderfang grot with spider mountFEC questing knight
>>96694914The Dispossesed should completely replace FS.
>>96695210
Where's ashoot's marked gors?
>>96694754Blightkings and vyrkos are a weird comparison, but i see what you are trying to do. If they add swarms of rats and bats, the obvious will be nurglings and flies/maggots/nurgle insects.
>>96695309Why would a dwarf god have marked anything? Stormgors make more sens
>>96695312Elite melee guys that are mini versions of the big bad
>>96695268you wish potato. slayers are miles better than the grugni rejects, keep sucking sce/human cocks until you leave the way of gors and let the fyrechads take the spot.
>>96695312Yes, nurglings and nurgle flies should be the swarms>>96695323Thats right. The 3 vyrkos are small Radukars, and the 3 blightkings are small Big-Fat-Bastard of the center.
>>96695100Do you people not play this game?
>>96695365We just ha a raid last thread, likely in fact Anon doesn't play the game
>>96694754>>96695312wouldnt make more sense to add a new kind of nurgle infantry? in the same way as blood warriors and skullreapers?
>>96695365>female beastmen
>>96695383??????
>>96695383Yes Anon, female cows are famous for their flat stomachs
>>96695313Didn't hashut ascend to a full on chaos god or whatever? At least a minor one.Speaking of, what minor chaos gods are peesent in aos? There's the warcry ones, but are malal, zuvassin, oldhammer shit like that are they still around ?
>>96695390Hashut is an ancestral dwarf god. Same as Grungi and Grimnir. He's just an asshole
>>96695390https://ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/Zuvasshttps://ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/Necoho
>>96695382i think we will see a new unit of light soldiers with shields (the image with the nurgle, ogor, fyreslayer and bonereaper spoilers), and they are the siluethes in the far background
>>96695405Nice catch I've heard people point out the great unclean looking Daemon is likely the named Nurgle Daemon prince from the leaks too so it wouldn't surprise me if everything for Nurgle in them is just from Darkwater
>>96695422It will be like ST and CC. A kit of enemies exclusive to the setting, different more generic kit inspired by the Quest kit
>>96694651What is holding that lantern spear? Hidden Halfling Squire for the knight woman?
For spearhead, do I retain control of a point even if I leave it, or do my saurus need to stay there all game?
>>96695422I'm gonna buy it anyways, can GW just show me the fuckin models.
>>96695443The blightking in the background
>>96695397Yeah I know, but I seem to remember the battletome talking about him fucking off to the realm of chaos for a bit to ascend to proper chaos god level or some shit.That being said I think hashut probably thinks blessing gors is beneath him (even more so than the big four)
40k/Old World player here. The Troll christmas battleforce looks interesting. Is it a good set to pick up value wise? Do you guys know any good youtube channels to watch AoS batreps so I can get a good feel for the game. Preferably ones with hand held cams/not the competitive top down camera view.
Pitch a Darkwater expansion >5 enemies >1-2 new infantry heroes >Reused existing models FEC>Ghoul Greenknight>Ghoul Greenseer/Damsel/Druid >Cryptguard>Crypt Horrors >Vargulf
>>96694754>>96695343>>96695405You have a keen eye, anon. I like how your brain works.
>>96695490Assuming prices remain the same, it's about 35% off? No point buying multiple because it has a named character but otherwise it's a solid starter that's 1k~ pts
>>96695512I like the theme, also my reasoning is that if I end up not liking AoS as a game, I can always just rebase them and use them as trolls for Fantasy/Old World.
>>96695343The cover features tentacles in the water so I'd expect those as the swarms
>>96695490season of war, I think the hobby collab too but they might do that thing you dont want, maybe. They've also been streaming the lvo recently which is a shock to me because its been a bitch to track to find out whose doing the streaming for live events for aos. >The Troll christmas battleforce looks interestingIts basically 2/3 of an army. Just buy 2 more kits of trolls and you can play the army of renown that already has all of its rules free on the app. Although the datasheets/warscrolls might not be accessible so copy and paste them from wahapedia or new recruit.
>>96695518Yeah, the big ones could be 2-3 regular trolls or a hag I suppose
>>96695526It's 1,110 points currently
Any guesses as to the general plot of this whq? The name + realm makes me think something related to nurgle fucking with aqua ghyranis, as speculated by an anon last thread.>>96695490With todays prices rise in mind it's about 300 yuros (jesus) worth of models. Around 1000-1100 points iirc? Gits are kind of ass right now but the troll aspect is decent. Can't speak for batreps sorry.
>>96695547Maybe nurglites found a way to corrupt aqua ghyranis or corrupt a major source of it.
>>96695547Goodwater plotline make the most sens given what we saw so far and the larger metaplot
>>96695553Soulbound already had a whole adventure about this, and the bank of anvilgard getting spiked aqua pushed into circulation
>>96695577I assume this will take place at the source where the water is made
>>96695113The archknight is from Aqshy, hence the manticore heraldry
>>96695597could be a realmhopper?
I wonder what kind of quests we will get in this WHQ. In CC we have kill enemies (hunt), rescue civilians (deliverance) and find X object (scavenge), and i can see hunt and scavenge here, but not deliverance. Maybe something new?
>>96695623Un-corrupt place?
>>96695623purify?
>>96695113Why the fuck does it feel like 90% of aos takes place in the trifecta of aqshy/ghur/ghyran, with the odd shyish cameo. When'a the last time something interesting happened in say chamon. And let's not even mention azyr.
>>96695645Because Hammerhal is in Aqshy and Ghyran
>>96695645Chamon is too fucked by chaos. Hysh would be neat to explore though.
>>96695498I do hope that the expansions are more like Blackstone Fortress's (an ambull a fucking ZOAT, and giant unique drones) and less like Cursed City's* (vampire, vampire, vampire)*yeah yeah it didn't actually get the expansions but you know
>>96695645Wouldn't most things that happen in Chamon have to be from a KO perspective as the geography is fucked and it's impossible to get anywhere without a boat? I haven't read the drekki flynt book yet, but a Kharadron boat captain helping out other order races get around Chamon on a quest would be cool.
>>96695645Azyr's the only realm without even a vignette map. We actually know the least about it. Crazy considering it's the home base of the posterboys.
>>96695498>GloomCavern>midsized troll(bigger than rock gut, smaller than dankhold)>armored grot scuttlings x5>1-2 stalagsquigs>small segmapede>reused sculptsOne of the underworlds gitz warbands Heroes>one of the order underworlds warbands
>>96695687Because there's no War in Azyr. Only Hammer
>>96695673Was Cursed City's expansions just literally going to be all the named slavic vampires that exist in the range right now?
>>96695645I want to see Hysh and Shyish so bad man... Andd Ulgu for fuck's sake how can such cool place have so little attention?
>>96695113Yeah, Cursed City was very cohesive The other heroes are probably more specific
>>96694865i wouldn't read too much into itthis is like the 4th time they've done a side game release? the rules for aos will be half baked and the whole thing will be axed next edition
>>96695704Seems so.
>>96695498>Pestilens skaven and his gang of plague priests, recently entering nurgle's folds (heh)>Rat hunter and his spiffy chaos sniffing gargoylian pal>Reused knight questor from skaventide (he looks sick as hell)
>>96695100>>96695119>>96695127>>96695141>>96695165>>96695365Total Khorngor win
>>96695842If we ever get actual khornegors and they don’t look like bipedal dogs ala The Mummy but Doberman styled i will have a very serious talk with James…
>>96695461You gain control of any objectives that have your units on them at the end of YOUR turn in the current battle round. The only way you can then lose control of it is if your opponent takes it from you. No your sarus warriors do not need to camp an objective all game.
>>96694774You are a pig and you eat slop.You are a pig and you eat slop.You are a pig and you eat slop.There, now you can go salivate over paypigging for some more TWW DLC.
>>96694651this doesnt look like aos
>>96695983The TWW players are currently reeing at CA since their latest patch just... broke the Tomb king and Lizardmen AI. To the point where they literally no longer have AI.Also the fucking game has almost gone an entire calendar year without a DLC. With the last real one coming out Dec 12th last year Technically there are 3 more recent DLCs but they're just a single DLC from a while ago that got split into three so people didn't have to buy all three at once if they didn't want
>>96696038Aos has as many asthetics as it does have realms
>>96694651That's a kino looking cover. I like the knight and the woman with black hair look like something out of 90's Oldhammer. AoS needs to have more kino aesthetic like this.
SOVL vs SLOP
>>96696274bottom is sorely lacking in muscles, I will say that.
>>96696274the first one looks more like a bunch of seperate art pieces superimposed over one another, the bottom looks like an actually coherent single piece. The bottom does have low contrast and very little color, comparatively.
>>96696274I will give the top this: It's got a more interesting font
Do we know when they’ll show off more info for the quest?
>>96696371Probably this or next week. Worst case scenario, they wait for Warhammer Day
I wish Warhammer Underworlds actually went to previous places from the Warhammer Quest series.It would be way cooler than recycling themes from previous seasons.I think it would be cool to have Underworlds expansions exploring previously seen locations on the Quest line.
>>96696392Ulfenkaen blew the fuck up and I don’t think a silver tower is exactly the best place for a random person warband to find themselves, but I wouldn’t be opposed to that.
I think a funny warcry team would be GHR worshipping humans with ratty features and stolen skaventech
Is this guy trying to sell me a recast?
>>96696405Don't the ones in ulgu take place in "you're lost forever" zones?
>>96695365GW really captured the average trans person with these.
>>96696274Its still got that abstract art we all know and love.
Is the Helsmiths of Hashut box set worth getting? I have never played crusade.
>>96696475why do you talk like an employee
>>96696483Its a spearhead set so you can play it out of the box. Whether its good or not I cant say because I have not been exposed to it on the table or seen its rules. As for crusade, do you mean path to glory?
>>96696490I cant talk dummy, im typing. What you are doing is reading.
Regular Duardin acknowledged. We are so back
>>96696492I meant spearhead, sorry.
Rushed myself immensely to get the rest of this unit done before bed, but I completely forgot the shields for three of the models. Guess I'll get those done tomorrow.Enjoy three finished and three unfinished models, I guess.
>>96696518banners sick
>>96696524Thanks man, I'm happy with how it turned out even though I don't pride myself on my freehanding (I'm much better with Ork checkers, but that's about it).I ended up using some transfers too, though. The runes they've got on that sheet look too cool for me to just ignore.
>>96696428yes
>>96694651who would you want as the other 4 in Darkwater>Jade Wizard>Barbarian berserker>Sylvaneth Revenant hunter >Greywater musketeer
>>96696428looks like resin, and I think this model was leaked recently. So yeah, it is probably fake.(if the recast was done with hard plastic I wouldn't care to be honest)
>>96696566>Confused FEC nobleman>Man with Gun>Ironjaw who doesn't know why he's here, only that he must krump>Completely normal sigmarite that is in no way, shape, or form a cultist of tzeentch
>>96694774I was hoping this Christmas box would have the dragon and vampire but the rest of the box I already have plenty of so there's no point in buyin it myself. I doubt this will sell well.
>>96696511It's easy to forget, but yeah this is literally the first dispossessed model we've gotten in 10 years of AoS.
>>96696518Thanks doc
>>96696518HECKING EPIC!
Man I feel like a fallen angel archetype would fit right at home in night haunt, but I dont really know how to justify it lore wise, or even visualize how they would look like design wise when adapted to aos.
>>96696928You're kinda cooking, angelic ghosts could probably work. Lorewise they could be souls of warriors who failed to defend something important (loved ones, innocent civilians, priceless relics) and are now forced to stand guard among Nagash's minions as "guardian angels". They could appear like a broken angel statue with the ghost popping out, the face acting as a death mask hiding the skull.
>>96695102Lesbian
>>96696566Looking at the weird Arthurian or Brittanian theming I expect.>Celestial mage with a long beard>Some sort of Kurnothi. More Fae than the CC one
>>96697032>>Celestial mage with a long beard>Arthurian or Brittanian theming
>>96696928>>96696976Gotta be some sort of ironic punishment for doing something to piss Nagash off. were you a preist who praised a god other than old boney? Guess who is gonna herald the arrival of his glory in the form of a procession.
