>>96743847
An interesting concept but I feel like AOS brets would just be brets, you can't change the gimmick too much since it's basically just King Arthur's round table but French mixed with Holy Grail styled fuckery. The heart of Bretonia is that low tech semi-magical society, I can't think of what else to add that would really make it worthwhile as a whole new faction.

Maybe go in on the storybook aspect of them, make them like an old swords and sorcery book come to life, completely at odds with the rest of the universe. Maybe some old stories passed down from the world that was (somehow?) and some best selling books, through the power of hope and imagination New Bretonia is born! More fantastical, could have everything more stylized like old medeival art, like weird dragons and hipogryphs, damsels and heroic knights, even a black knight and green knight figure! That's probably wayyyy too hokey but sounds cute enough. Pic Tangentially related.
>>
>>96744147
There's like 1 good new sculpt in the Bret releas
>>
>>96744187
New Bretonia as a twist on FEC. Deluded hope of the people manifesting as physical heroes to fight evil. Maybe have them always helmeted or masked as to hint that their appearance is based on the collective beliefs of mortals and don't have a "set" appearance. Maybe a lot of them and their stuff has a papery appearance, like they're crafted from books. Maybe they're part of a new god's birth, a god of dreams or something.
>>
>>96744261
FEC instantly becoming allys with an imaginary faction made up of fairy tales and imagination would be pretty fun. A mix of hopes and delusions across the mortal realms bringing a new faction of heroes to life.

Now I know dickall about Fyreslayers, but this list infers the only thing they're getting rid of is the Vulkite berserkers, the literal basic bitch unit for Fyreslayers. Also you still can't buy the battlesmith outside of the Spearhead box.
>>
>>96744415
Vulkites and some of the heroes, specifically the Runemaster, Doomseeker, and Grimwrath, which is weird because those are cool heroes with unique army roles.

Probably just means they've got replacements coming though, either literally or functionally new melee foot heroes/priests. And Vulkites are 100% the first kit you would want to replace if you were refreshing Fyreslayers.

So they just consider the Warcry guys a replacment for the basic guys and remove a Silver Tower hero that had nothing special about him.

>>96744434
replacing makes more sense, the poses look goofy as fuck. That symmetry dwarf has been a meme for like a decade now (even if I do like him, I have one just sitting in my box of random bullshit) Doomseeker I can see being swapped up, his model is neat but nothing about him really implies... Doomseeker I guess? Grimwrath I do like same with Runemaster but I can imagine slightly more updated versions of them.

I guess I didn't realize they'd be actually doing some refreshes, I figured new units but updating the old ones is an interesting concept for a faction like Fyreslayers. Maybe they're hoping to cast a wider net so to speak.
>>
>>96744187
>I can't think of what else to add that would really make it worthwhile as a whole new faction
turn the entire faction into green knights and ditch the restrictions on monsters
making them ethereal protectors of the realms emerging from mirage-castles sometimes visible within the mists of sacred lakes or distant clouds

are they undead? not really
are they human? they don't remove the helmets and they have weird forms sometimes
are they even real? debatable
aren't they redundant with stormcasts? not as much as marines make each other redundant
where were they? locked away by nurgle in an early masterstroke for the invasion of ghyran in the age of chaos and will return at the end of the rite of life
they were never sigmarites but there was no bad blood between sigmar and the free people and them
sigmar may or may not have been inspired by them
the state of debatable life is akin but opposite to the state of debatable unlife of ghoul, and there might have been connections between ushoran when he was still sane, THE blood knight, and these knights in the age of myth, making them unconventional allies

knights, armored centaurs, pegasi, questing beasts, giant knight, multiarmed duelist, swan griffon, moving castle on a terrasque etc

It's a little unexpected because the range was so small, but at the same time it makes sense. Fyreslayers definitely had too many redundant foot heroes. Already the Exile is a better beatstick than either the Grimwrath or the Doomseeker, and the Flameseeker always struck me as a guy who had no reason not to be a priest except that they had too many priest heroes. Factor in probable new heroes on top of all the old ones and yeah, someone was going to get cut.

Having the faction effectively be a good version of nighthaunt that maybe aren't spirits but more like the shadows of Bretonia brought back to life from Alarielle without her really realizing it. I can't remember if Brets got out during the end times or not but could effectively have it be like, they lives in Ghyran and eventually got wiped out, the old settlements seeped into the very realm itself merging with the Emerald Winds.

Maybe have villages of people that pop up and it's like they never died, they're completely ignorant to the state they exist in. Ghouls see them as a legendary force like the actual green knight. I do like the idea of Castles appearing out of the blue, an actual lady of the lake who appears at lakes around Ghyran and offers blessings to those that pay tribute, a mythical and almost ethereal camelot that doesn't quite exist but has legends and rumors swirling around about them.

Not sure about the monstrous aspect to them, I still like the idea of them being gallant knights maybe with something like we see in old pictures kinda like how COS has Gargoylians.

More like CoS gets Ogres, giants and Halflings instead of three types of elf and one type of dwarf.

>>96744556
I'm not terribly heartbroken about cuts since I don't play the faction (I do have a bunch of stuff because some guy sold it off and the heroes were like 3 dollars a piece in my FLGS used case with a 15 dollar pizza oven.) but it always feels weird to see stuff get cut from AOS when so many of the factions feel pretty small. Though I guess they feel small because they have like, 2 fucking infantry kits and then like 15 foot heroes so if they got some new shit it would make it sting a bit less.

>>96744583
As someone who does play Fyreslayers, I am entirely unmoved, since I wasn't naive enough to think their long awaited refresh/merger would happen without at least a few cuts or replacement units. Also, of all armies, Fyreslayers are super suuuuuuuper easy to proxy anything you want, like who gives a fuck really, I can run any hero I own as any other hero and no one will blink an eye if we're being honest.

Ah I see. Thanks, that's nice then.

Where's our fyreslayer posters? How you guys feeling about this?
>>
>>96744800
I'm a Fyreslayer guy, as I've already said, I don't really give a shit. The heroes being cut are some of my favorite heroes in the range, but it's not like GW is going to hunt me down and take them away, I just get to proxy them as whatever.

And no one is actually going to cry about Vulkites either going away or getting resculpts, obviously. Either way I can use my guy as proxies, it's not a big deal.

There's a guy over on TGA who's being dramatic about the whole thing, but I suspect that's because he's only ever played one army. It's a warhammer game, individual models get updated or cut, given time it's inevitable.

He provided huge lists of new units for Ogres and Nurgle and to a lesser extent CoS and never mentioned new Terrain/Spells for any of them even though they're all lacking at least one of the two and ever army has gotten them this edition if they didn't have em.
>Be odd for them to randomly get rid of em when they've made an effort to give everybody spells and/or terrain this edition.
The only realistic scenario where the Fyreslayer terrain/spells get cut is if they're replaced with new kits for the combined army, which is ultimately a sidegrade.
>>
>>96744899
>Be odd for them to randomly get rid of em when they've made an effort to give everybody spells and/or terrain this edition.
The thing is that they're spells and scenery themed exclusively around fyreslayers, while the new soup might warrant something that reflects all types of dwarfs better.
>>
>>96744932
The axes with chains feels a little phoned in but I kind of like the weird mouth flame weapons. They would be better if they had a large flame coming out of them.
>>
>>96744932
I don't know if people like them more but if the basic unit looks like 20 guys doing poses like they shit their crotch drapes and are trying to charge without it going down their legs then I can only imagine I'd go for that first rather than the more elite dudes which have a duel purpose kit.

Vulkites can look good but you gotta jigger the arms and legs around a bunch otherwise they're about as customizable as plague monks. Ironically the best looking of the bunch of the Symmetrical guy.
>>
>>96744968
>and ever army has gotten them this edition if they didn't have em.
spells and scenery are for pity-hero-tier updates, not for large release waves
chorfs didn't get them

Pretty much, no one thinks Hearthguard are an amazing kit but they clear Vulkites easily, and they're much more important as they represent your elite melee/ranged guys vs the Vulkites just being chaff.

Did our first game of Spearhead last night, Helsmiths vs Gloomspite. Was a close one, but sadly the Grots won with a final score of 19 to the Gobbos and 17 to the Helsmiths.
Hashut's lads are a blast to play and seem pretty damn powerful, they were able to hold on their own quite well despite being greatly outnumbered at all times.
My Dominator Engine performed like ass sadly, only killing one Troggoth before being torn apart by the other two but (perhaps unsurprisingly) the Tormentor Bombard was the MVP with not a single shot missed and being responsible for killing the in the 2nd turn of the match Loonboss.
The War Despot is a hell of beatstick as well, there wasn't anything on the table that wanted to get close to him with his Talisman of Obsidian and attack profile.

That being said have halflings ever been mentioned in any serious capacity in aos? I know there's like off-hand mentions in bl stuff here and there, but is there anything, yknow, solid?

Don't think so, but there's a halfling-sized dude presenting a dish to Glutos Orscollion on his model. It's probably technically a homonculus like the archers have, but it's clearly a wink at halflings.

Same shit happens in 40kg. There's an unwritten rule there that to request timestamps you need to post timestamps. As a general rule, if someone demands your models, but doesn't post theirs, then they have likely lost the argument, and are looking for something to lash out at and deflect away from themselves. That said, the original anon you were shitting on stated it was his first game of spearhead, which is reasonable for him to not have a painted force yet. You're kind of a faggot, but not because you didn't post models when someone demanded you

I actually bought Stormground, becuase the basic combat remined me of HoMM (small hexagonal grid with a few units), but it's a very different beast with more emphasiz on unit customization than unit variety (you can equip multiple different upgrades/sidegrades for the unit, but there's only 3 "castles" in the game).

Alternative thread question:
(You)'ve managed to convince GW not to put stormcast in the starter set for 5th. Who do you put in instead? You don't have to adhere to the chaos-death-destruction cycle, but ideally you do have the classic elite vs horde matchup.

>>96745976
Damn that image got fucked up. Anyway if they didn't release in 3rd already I would've suggested std vs cities. Has the classic horde vs elite dichotomoty, has normal guys to root for, big fucking evil chaos guys with broad appeal (and are easy to paint), would've been perfect if they ever wanted to switch up stormcast.

Now that that's out of the picture, how about idoneth wave 2 : melee infantry edition vs that one "vampire coast sans vampires" death army that was rumoured a while ago?
Give idoneth some elite crab armour kroxigor sized dudes or something, and then face off against 60 zombie pirates. Fuck it we ball (underwater)

This is my problem. Right now I'm kind of agonizing over how I want to base my Cursed City stuff when I get it next month, but I also tend to struggle with how I should base things in general. I think I'd like to try making some cobblestone roads for them and when I get going on the rest of my Deathrattle army have something of a wintery city vibe going for them.
I'm basically being a turbo autist about basing models I don't even have yet. Hell, I kinda want to paint up most of these little guys as servants for a necromancer, but I'm paralyzed by the fucking basing.
