Spooky season Edition>Previously in the Mortal Realms:>>96762947 >Official AoS website:https://www.ageofsigmar.com>Downloads, Rules Errata and FAQs:https://www.warhammer-community.com/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-downloads/>Toolshttps://runebrush.pa-sy.com/warscroll/>Anvil of Apotheosis hero creator:https://aosg.github.io/>Thread question:Does your army have any flying units? If not, invent some (if yes, invent some more anyway).
>>96773163>tq>seraphonYea we got a couple, terradons and rippers and their respective chiefs (for now). Also have terrawings. Ripperdactyls look like shit (mostly their heads) but the other two are pretty cool.>invent some moreEasy route is a coatl (picrel instead of horrible total war beaks please), though I also would like to see to a big quetzcoatlus type creature.
>TQBoy do they. Though aside from the characters I only really like the screamers of tzeentch and obviously the enlightened tzaangors. The chariot can suck a cock and get sent to the warp for all I care. Not really a fan of the furries either, yeah I know they're not a part of the army but I just had to get that off my chest.
>>96773163>Does your army have any flying units?Only
>>96773205lovely ghosts anon.Are they as shit to play as people on here made it seem with the new battletome? Somebody near me is selling off their sovl wars half for a damn good price and I'm debating on whether or not I should pick it up.
>>96773163Obligatory batsquig post
>>96773182>Coatlman what I'd give to have a good looking model of that thing
>>96773212They were shit, then broken, then shit. Balancing them is clearly hard and will likely flip many times in the future. You shouldn't make purchases like this in chase of short term rules. Soul Wars half is tricky, because 2 of the units in it are essentially useless, but it has tones of exclusive heroes. Depends what price are you paying for it
>>96773240kino
>>9677326075 euros, also includes the underworlds glaivewraiths and banshees. All assembled but not painted.As for them being shit I'm more interested in how fun they are to play, not so much how they perform. On that front I've heard that they don't really do much now, they just kinda sit on objectives.
>>96773357>75 eurosWell that's less than a Spearhead for a somewhat comperable number of stuff, so sounds like a good deal
>>96773240What the fuck happened to bro
another boole rumourslop post for those who partake:>I heard that the goddess's followers donned armour forged from shadows and erected one new altar after another. >Hold on, what's that? >Returned ye be, O Mathlann, Khaine, and Kurnous! >Thou tarriest overlong, Morai-Hag! >My heart foretold thy coming, Hoeth! >Asuryan! Can it be thou too art restored? I hope they're not just bringing back the elven pantheon, sounds kinda lame. I mean for the idoneth for example, mathlann being a dead god that they conjure up a collective psychic echo of is much more interesting than having him actually be around.
>>96773375As someone who wound up with multiple soul wars for cheap its a blessing and a curse. Whatever dickhead decided to only give half a minimum unit of grimghasts should fuck off.Also the thing that makes me sad about nighthaunt is dreadblade harrows keep getting nerfed. They're so fucking cool looking alongside the KOS on horse but they're just so mediocre. Also wish the crossbow ghosts were better but them now shooting a unit before Kurdoss beats em up is funny.
Have they rewritten the original fluff of Humans, Aelves, and Duardin uniting in their shared plight during the Age of Chaos? Cities used to be founded by the Azyrite refugees but now Aelves are all from established factions with different histories and Duardin are being reworked as similar racially united isolationists?
>>96773679Different realms, different races, different cultures. The answers will differentiate based on the realm. But to answer your first question, no, they have not rewritten much of anything.
>>96773702Yeah, but not Wanderers, Lumineth, Dispossessed, etc have a different history that is unrelated to the original pitch
>>96773679>Have they rewritten the original fluff of Humans, Aelves, and Duardin uniting in their shared plight during the Age of Chaos?no, but the elves and dwarfs were always a minority between azyrites and since the founding of the cities the azyrites have become a minority compare to the reclaimed imported into the cities
>>96773735Lol they don't.
>>96773566Krethusa's backstory already setup the situation that the power of the ancient Aelven gods were able to escape Slaanesh thanks to Morathi fucking around. I think in most cases what we'll see isn't literal god models but more Avatars and Champions (like Krethusa) of their respective gods. Kurnouth will probably return in full though, that's been teased for fucking forever.
>>96773766Fyreslayers and Dispossessed are getting souped City Aelves are getting squatted Wanderers are now Kurnothi, who survived the age of chaos in isolated glades rather than Azyr. Humans didn't encounter them until recently Lumineth spent the age of chaos in Hysh Daelves spent it in Ulgu
>>96773859>Wanderers are now KurnothiThen why aren't Kurnothi in CoS where Wanderers belong?
>>96773859wanderers still exist they just aren't mentioned anymore since 3rd edition
>>96773868What's a Wanderer and why aren't they mentioned in the CoS battletome or corebook?
>>96773859Wanderers and Kurnothi are two unrelated things faggot. We've been over this.Shut the fuck up before you accidentally post your hair loss meds
>>96773876Predecessors of many city elfs cursed to wander during age of chaos and pardoned after war of life?Living City was build mostly for them
>>96773887I'm telling you they're different? Kurnothi replaced Wanderers
>>96773894>Living CityMight as well not exist since building an army of that's 50% CoS, 25% SCE and 25% TREES is no longer doable.
Should I buy into Skaven and get another 2000 point army to play with myself
>>96773918Living City went from getting lore wanked pretty hard in 2E CoS to "Also, Living City exists, technically" in 3E. At least it didn't get razed to the ground like Phoenicium I guess.
>>96773566So TLDR:>4E is the Dwarf edition>5E is the Elf edition
>>96773917wanderers weren't replaced they still exist you'll just never see another reference to them in any form ever again and any mention of living city thereafter will not include them but it's totally not a retcon bro they never explicitly said they don't exist
>>96773934warcry has rules to play with yourself I think. If you really want 2000 points of 2 armies try and play them under a path to glory/ broken coast tho.
>>96773941well slaanesh is on track to be let loose so yeah I'd hope so.
>>96773952any day now
>>96773842I'm fine with one or two slipping by, especially morai-heg since she's all spooky and witchy so whatever she can do fun stuff. But porting over the entire fucking pantheon is just boring.>>96773952>>96773962>two more aeons
>>96773942They don't exist anymore because Alariel called off the trees that were killing them. They don't wander anymore. Czechoslovakia also doesn't exist anymore.
On a sidenote, it's kinda funny that after 10 years of AoS only barely getting rumors, now we suddenly know basically everything important years in advance. It makes sense I guess, it's not like AoS release plans are any more protected than 40K plans are, we just never had a leaker crazy enough to go all in.
>>96774036we've had leakers, shit we had someone who used to visit 4chan tell us about cursed city. 40k is the one thats usually a loose fucking whore with their secret though.
>>96773946Thanks anon
>>96774036>>96774044I remember the 3e StD tome leaked over half a year before actually being released.
>>96773952The rift between Slaanesh's forces and the rise of pretenders and potential usurpers in it's absence is far more interesting than just bringing it backShame they haven't really done anything with it
>>96774044I know we've had leakers, but they were always way more restrained and subtle compared to 40K. I'm just saying, it's kinda strange adjusting from "Whitefang posted a cryptic picture four months ago" to slutty 40K leaksluts level of weekly leaking of everything under the sun.
>>96774059>I remember the 3e StD tome leaked over half a year before actually being released.That was GW's fumble, they straight up mailed some rando the STD Army Box half a year early.
>>96773998So why aren't they in Sylvaneth?
>>96774103Because they aren't Sylvaneth.
>>96774036>funny that after 10 years of AoS only barely getting rumors, now we suddenly know basically everything important years in advance. It makes sense I guess, it's not like AoSI'm more pissed that during the "IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS" event they decide not to fucking even hint to or show off rumor engines for some of this shit. Like "It's been a good* 10 years, and here's to a good 10 more!" like the most hype we've gotten is some guy basically just dropping entire fucking ranges worth of leaks in one go. If during the 10th they went "And a few older ranges will get some BIG updates, you'll practically be SICK of how much you'll be getting. Warhammer QUEST." they could have ridden the hype waves!
>>96774112What army can you play them in?
>>96774113Anon when was the last time you've heard gw communicate with its audience
>>96774118No I realize, it's just so insane to me such a basic concept that a shmuck like me could come up with it. Literally just do some vague hints so people have a reason to get excited instead of looking back with some half assed articles. Just post like a picture of a cellulite ass and a green cellulite ass and let people speculate.
Can anyone share Helsmith of Hashut tome?PLEASE!
>>96774116Last time i checked Living City was represented by CoS and it just so happens to have elf units representing random elfs living in CoS
>>96774036Remember that trailer for 3e, where half this board convinced themselves fucking fimir were going to come back? Good times.>>96774072Yeah it's mainly that boole guy just throwing shit wide open. Dude posted like 5 different army updates on the first day he posted. Although actual picture leaks are still kinda rare compared to 40k, where every new models seems to be posted online first these days. The whq potato image was kind of the exception.
>>96774146>half this boardLiterally 1 guy who spams it to this day
Remember seraphon and Helsmiths? Its a shame they never became armies.
>>96774138Those are dark aelves and the abilities they have like "cruel sacrifice" don't present them as generic placeholders for any Aelves.Where are the Wanderers?
>>96774146>Yeah it's mainly that boole guy just throwing shit wide openI wonder what the deal with that is anyhow, wonder why he cracked and just dumped all this shit.
>>96774116None of them as it were. GW decided to take down the rules for all the Legends units so at present there are no rules to play Wanderers in any army.
>>96774164I think the rumor is that he was fired from GW so he decided to go nuclear.
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/gdf3xzwi/world-championships-of-warhammer-balance-updates/I really wish they didnt stream this stuff almost exclusively on twitch.
>>96774173Where can I read about them? I've read the 3rd edition CoS battletome and 4th edition core book
>>96774174No, he just joked about being sued for $10,000 or something
What should I build as my next army? I have a Skaven army made up of the Skaventide and Warpspark spearheads and an Ogor army made up of 2 spearheads and a Frostlord on Stonehorn.
>>96774188Daughters of Khaine focused on snake ladies.
>>96774180You'd have to go back to 2e CoS or earlier. But there's not a lot written about them in any case since they were never really spotlighted in a campaign or anything.
>>96774116Sylvaneth with Kurnothi soon
>>96774180maybe soulbound stuff, I think there was a book about a character of them written by guy haley too.
>>96774164I think he implied he used to work for gw, at least their 40k department. Then he was all melodramatic about how they're going to fine him a fuckton of money because he posted leaks, and then he was back to posting a fuckton more later.Weird situation all around. He could be a gw plant I guess? Still, I feel like gw would have their plants post more cryptic shit a la whitefang
>>96774201I'm hoping against hope that they're in CoS instead. At least then Living City armies will be able to look the part. And the army's theme of being a realm-spanning multiracial coalition will be given a much-needed blood transfusion.
>>96774204Ehhh, hard to say. I think like most anons say, I seriously doubt GW is smart enough to have people in as leaks. They seem to want as little effort into shit as possible.
>>96774204Yeah he basically started off his leaks by implying he wasn't breaking his NDA by talking about AoS because he didn't work on AoS or whatever the fuck. He's also said a couple of times he was asking for more info before posting some of his follow-up leaks. It's confusing all around, though.
>>96774217Their fluff isn't aligned to CoS at all?
>>96774203Maesa is nominally a Wanderer prince but it's more like background trivia and not something that features much in the stories proper. If you want an in-depth look at the Wanderers, the Prince Maesa novel will disappoint you.
>>96774162There is no such thing as "dark aelf"
>>96774164All leaks are pre-planned by GW. They know "super secret lead news" dpreads better than normie news
>>96774267I genuinely think you're giving them too much credit.
>>96774253Scourge Privateers Order Serpentis Darkling Covens Shadow bladesaka the dark elf leftovers and Ulgu AelvesAutistic retard
>>96774285All represent normal CoS elfs. Are you gonna claim Freeguild guy on gryph is actually Karl Franz alive and actively in AoS?
>>96774113>Like "It's been a good* 10 years, and here's to a good 10 more!why would they lie?
Is there anything I can do to improve this?
>>96774309Hence the *
>>96774267That's just what GW wants you to think. The reality is that all their shit gets leaked constantly so they have no choice but to try and be a good sport about it.
>>96774297The Freeguild Marshal on Griffon represents a Freeguild Marshal on Griffon The Sorceress represents a Darkling Covens Sorceress, hence it explicitly stating as much and including her signature Cruel Sacrifice ability that represents the fluff You are just wrong.
>>96774331if you ignore the lore and abilities there's no reason you can't use a wood elf mage to represent her
I think this paint scheme looks really, really good.>Luke T: I took inspiration from the House Malinax Knights scheme seen in Warhammer 40,000 and The Horus Heresy, as I felt the dark metals, grubby bone armour, and red spot colour reflected the Helsmiths’ diabolical nature. For the bases I referenced artwork and photography in the battletome, which often depicts the Zharrdron standing in their forges over molten pools of metal guarded by grates, and picked up some Void War bases to represent this environment.https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/uwghdhhv/the-warhammer-community-team-pledge-themselves-to-hashut-by-painting-some-zharrdron/
>>96774351
>>96774351>>96774367much better.
>>96774351To nobody's great surprise Zharr Vyxa looks the dopest. With some snazzy red this cannon cart goes from looking like a misplaced dumpster industrial waste to a bloody race car.
>>96774367actually shit, is there a guide anywhere to do a blue like whats on the orb on the hammer?
> tran sexual> man with Black skinWhy are they personally attacking us like this, bros? Why do they want us so dead? I'm literally shaking.
>>96774415>I'm literally shaking.quick, grab some paint cans, don't let that energy go to waste
>>96774415
>>96774422This is the moment to transfer my GW paints into dropper bottles.
>>96774267The horus heresy leaks kinda disprove that. Or gw is really going all in and telling their media team to write slurs in all their leaks.>>96774351It's pretty funny how pretty much every other paint scheme completely dunks on the main one.>96774415Please post your 40kek bait in the appropriate thread next time
>>96774440>It's pretty funny how pretty much every other paint scheme completely dunks on the main oneThat has always been the case ,like I cant name one army that looks better in the default scheme
>>96773163LRL's have a couple windmages who kinda fly, but. the high elves of the World that Was rode dragons and phoenixes and shit. I think we should at least have peacock-colored phoenixes,
>>96774459Gobbos, slaves to darkness, maybe nighthaunt?Either way I think chorfs are uniquely bad on that front. Yeah usually there's like two or three paint schemes that work better than the main one, but with chorfs the default one is straight up the worst I've seen so far. although maybe that one fully neon green gives it a run for its money
>>96774415NOOOO THIS WAS OUR GAME!!!I bought a 500 pound 3Dprinter for this shit
>>96774440>The horus heresy leaks kinda disprove that. Or gw is really going all in and telling their media team to write slurs in all their leaks.Pictures 3 weeks before a release and and vague mystery box descriptions multiple months before a release are so obviously different things that it's not worth categorizing them together as one thing.
>>96773163>TQ>OgresThey sure don't. The easiest thing would be a Frostwyrm of "Frostwyrm Elixir" fame, it would be like any other dragon but worse because that's destruction's shtick. If we're talking about a multiple model unit, that's rough. Unless they start strapping gyrocopers to their backs I can't see a unit of ogres flying. I could see gnoblars in a battle balloon. The problem is Ogre's tech level is schizophrenic and their magic is rigidly themed. Any gastro magic that gives flight is going to lead to fart jokes.
Refresh when, cuties?
>>96774510Give it a couple of months
>>96774351I know these are supposed to be teeth but it looks like white lipstick
>>96774459I'd say Sylvaneth look pretty great in the studio's default scheme. But that model range has the peculiar quality of looking good in basically any paint scheme.
>>96774503Ogres have multiple units who change the weather, I think we could call that a flying ability at least.
>>96774503Considering that ogres are apparently going back to caveman technology i would say flying unit are of the table (heh) unless they grow wings
Moo-spell-zharr
The ashen elder is my favorite hero model in the range. More than all the rest he looks like a spiteful asshole.
>>96774523That's really well done
>>96774536The whole 'hammers BAD' lore is retarded; if they are still forging things or even machining or manufacturing weapons they are still using a 'hammer' in some capacity.
>>96774459Seraphon default scheme clears the majority of /yourdudes/ schemes I've seen for them. Gitz default is really really good too, as are idk, and dok
>>96774469That's a lot of fucking loomies>>96774497I was talking more about those rules documents where the leaker wrote a bunch of stuff on it>>96774503Maybe some blood vultures?
Quickrundown on the leaks?
>>96774523>the tasteful marbling on the horns that perfectly creeps over the length and angles>the gradient effect on the horn tips that helps draw the eyes to the composition's weighted center, the snarling faceNoice
>>96774415> French> Troon> Queer 'tram Jersey'sThis tracks> Chinese> A panda is somehow involved> Queer team jerseyThis also tracks> Anglo> Man titsThis tracksI don't get it what's wrong
>>96774554They share a setting with a warrior culture that scavenges metals from giant mounds of pig poop and then shape it into armor and weapons by punching the metal with their bare hands until they think it looks right. Foregoing hammers is fine.
>>96774556That's not my army, yet. Frankly, the spearmen don't interest me because they're chaff in an elf army (which I generally don't support) and are physically argerous to transport. I like my elves to be elite glass canons who can't take much of a punch but spam magic and high-powered weapons to stay in the fight.
>>96774310Drop a unit of clan rats gain a reinforced unit of rat ogres
>>96774557Not enough Darkwater/10
>>96774557Cathay is coming to AoS
>>96774608They’ll finally make ghur interesting…
>>96774556>I was talking more about those rules documents where the leaker wrote a bunch of stuff on itI know, that's what I meant by "pictures" (although I stated it pretty vaguely). Pictures, literal photographs of final production retail items that are about to release very soon and have already left the warehouse on the way to distributors and prerelease reviewers.Those are obviously genuine leaks. That stuff is out of James' iron grip and people have opportunities to sneakily photograph or memorize it.The super vague long-outlook rumours, or the grainy pics that lead to GW articles joking about you having seen the grainy pics, are plausibly intentional leaks.Although not always. eg. That last Kill Team leak was clearly a fuckup.
>>96774557Much talk from insiders that AoS is being wound down due to unpopularity and creative failure.
>>96774557https://www.tga.community/blogs/entry/2478-rumours-update-06-october-2025/Basically all current aos rumours with any amount of credibility. Also today the boole guy cryptically about a bunch of elven gods, which can be interpreted in a million different ways.>>96774618Mhyea I do think there's gw planted leaks floating around, they attract more hype than simple reveals. But at the same time I think most leaks/rumours are genuine. Colour me an optimist.
Anyone got the audiobook for 'Sacrosanct & Other Stories' and if so, toss me it plz. Will trade elf feetpics in return.
The sample for the Abraxia novel ends on a fun note. Kinda curious to see if that will stick as a narrative device through the whole book.>They were the Varanguard of the First Circle.>And she was first among them.>She, Abraxia, ascendant pitspawn of taloned Carngrad. Princebreaker. Champion of the Varanspire. Grand Marshal of the First Circle. Spear of the Everchosen.>Beneath her thrashed the mad Thanatorg, godwyrm’s-whelp, deep-terror, hungering always.>And in her hands she held the weapon:>I, accurs’d Gorbolga.>Spear of the Everchosen.
>>96774664I hope the spear is a snarky bitch
>>96774664Oh that actually could be fun.
>>96774664I saw an abraxia for 50 bucks at my FLGS (same place with the stupid ironclad) and I was half debating on grabbing her. She's a cool mode. (It was the helmeted version) but seems a bit much.
Requesting scans of the Cursed City: Nightwars and Cursed City: Nemesis rulebooks.
>>96774510We need a hard look at the rules man. We eat once a game and fail to eat a third of the time, it is the dumbest, laziest shit. It's better to go hungry to keep the +2 run all game, flavor failure.>>96774520They mostly make it cold but I see your point. They could easily swap a prayer for "flight for a turn" in the way Storm does for XMen. That used to be a universal spell.>>96774521Every other destruction faction is unga bunga tech, we don't need a fourth. This is a faction that could have a unit of pistoleros or dragoons that wear a brace of human sized rifles or Ogre grenadiers, there's so much design space in "savage black powder". Leadbelchers suck, but they could have changed that at any time.It's just disappointing news.>>96774556A unit of vultures would work, give them a bonus against wounded units or something.
>>96774730>They mostly make it coldThat's what I meant by changing the weather. Also, that is genuinely one of the scariest abilities an army has in this game. Like, imagine being a village of subsistence farmers and your crops just fucking die halfway through growing season from a mix of looting and sudden winter. They basically have a WMD.
>>96774750I just want more ice themed shit for ogors, I'm peeved we've got the cool mountain men with magical spells and shit and the main wizard they get is a god damn volcano guy.
>>96774536I LOVE this model. And in actual pale jade armour as per lore Ur Zorn armies come with pale jade armour.
>>96774730I will never understand how Destruction has been Grand Alliance: Shafted. Like, I just got Ogors and I love the range - but listening to people talk about it sounds like Ogors were good in 2nd ed and we're suffering that sin all the way to now. Given that Battletomes seem to be either keeping armies good or elevating them, I'm somewhat hopeful - but I don't expect that book to release anytime soon.
>>96774790>I will never understand how Destruction has been Grand Alliance: Shaftedorcs & goblins was ONE army because the orcs and goblins complemented one anotherinstead the retards at gw separated orcs from goblins and thus orcs suffered massively, becoming a dead end concept, which was only halfway remedied by giving them a faction of goblin-like orcs
>>96774790I feel like they're gonna delay the battletome until at least the new releases. Which as I said in a previous thread, no clue when it's gonna be but sometime q1 or q2 of next year seems feasible barring global economic collapse.
>>96774523>>96774536These are superb paintjobs, in general I think the characters are the best part of the chorf range. Also more controversially, I think the taurus statue thing looks great too.>>96774790We're all paying for the sins of 1st edition beastclaw raiders.
>>96774810But Goblins are 3 armies in one now. That's totally good, right? Right...? ...Please buy Sun-woofers. They coulda kept O&G and made the Troggs their own army - The Underdank or something. There's enough there already, barring a few missing basics. >>96774824BCR just seems fucked in general. It was (or still is?) like spamming 2 models. At least Gutbusters have Glutttons and the rape-missle they can be.
>>96774845trolls don't have enough to deserve being an army of their own and they work best when they accompany something elseif you try to expand them you essentially stop making them trolls and start making them ogres, it doesn't work, better keep them as supplementary stuff for other greenskins
I hate microfactions
>>96774845>>96774862Eh I thought gloomspite are a pretty unique and coherent army before gitmob . Troggoths kinda took the place of orcs as big beatstick. Only spiderfang was kind of weird, but even then it worked alright, they're still creepy crawly creatures commonly encountered in caves.
>>96774866Can't wait till 5th ed when all those microfactions get souped up
>>96774923Please.
>>96774866>I hate microfactionsYep its a retarded concept for most armies and the only ones that worked or could've worked are >gloomspite gitz>flesh eater courts >beastclaw raider if they leaned more into the winter themeEverything else didn't really work out in my opinion, and shit like night goblins only worked because it already worked in fantasy
>>96774866Why the actual fuck do you think any of us give the slightest shit what you like or dislike you cumrag?
Reminder that Beastclaw won, and all non Beastclaw ogors are being remade to fit into Beastclaw
>>96774866yeah, 5 books is all this game needs>order>death>chaos>destruction>elves
>>96774939lollmaono
>>96773163>TQVultures for KB, of the normal sized variety and of the slightly larger but not corpse rippa sized with orks riding them. Normal vultures can act as evasive speedbumps that weaken enemies below max strength while bird riders could be objective monkeys
>>96774949Leaks aay Ogor weapons are being primitivized to fit better into Beastclaw aesthetic. And all the big monsters are untouched while foot slogers are being remade
>>96774939Only in ascetic unfortunately the everwinter probably won't be the main focus of the army and it will be ogre kingdoms without cool cannons and guns >>96774949See above
>>96774810I like skinny swamp orks, it's visually distinct and deviated enough that you can't say they're just 40k orks ported into fantasy
>>96774960>And all the big monsters are untouchedMonkey paw strikes again
>>96774928Eh it depends on how much gw wants to do with them. Sylvaneth technically started out as a microfaction (wood elves without the elves) but they work because they got a sizeable update with multiple archetypes, silhouettes, etc while still building on the same concept (ents and sprites, essentially).I feel like other microfactions could/could've worked well if gw really wanted to. Take nighthaunt for example, they're very samey, but like every other thread anons come up with great ideas to kind of break that sameyness while still being true to the core nighthaunt (spooky ghosts). Haunted armour, trapped/fallen angels, ghost amalgamations, bedsheet dragons, etc
>>96774638>Also today the boole guy cryptically about a bunch of elven gods, which can be interpreted in a million different ways.>I heard that the goddess's followers donned armour forged from shadows and erected one new altar after another. >Hold on, what's that? >Returned ye be, O Mathlann, Khaine, and Kurnous! >Thou tarriest overlong, Morai-Hag! >My heart foretold thy coming, Hoeth! >Asuryan! Can it be thou too art restored?
>>96774583It's a retarded concept that whatever lore shitter at Jew W thought was an awesome edgy idea and smeared it into their lore, because they are too stupid to see two steps ahead.There was already justification for the warrior Chorfs to use swords and spears/halberds; swords and halberds are traditionally used by soldiers/warriors as they are tools solely used for war (you aren't cutting down trees with a sword or threshing wheat with a halberds, they are designed to kill and that's it). As a martial caste of the Chorfs (or at least Chorfs fulfilling their service obligation as a soldier) that makes sense; they aren't like traditional dwarf warriors who, in lore, literally have day jobs as craftsmen or laborers or whatever the fuck but got called into service by a thane.
>>96774987>It's a retarded conceptAnd that's a good thing.
>>96774608Well all those people demanding an insect race in AoS can finally shut up
>>96774928FEC were retarded before they were, well, given flesh to be stretched out.I dont mind night haunt or any of the chaos factions (I think they should have been able to share some stuff with the slaves to darkness range, I have no qualms with chaos in 40k being all one book but it'd be retarded in aos), really i just want all the ranges to be flehsed out and not have another one off idk that has nothing to it but bald elves. Conceptually most of these armies are awesome, but the slow drip feed is annoying. At least fyreslayers will likely be able to exit that period of stagnation (hopefully).
Post tuff pictures
>>96774977>wood elves without the elvesSoon with MORE wood elves!
>>96774960>Leaks aay Ogor weapons are being primitivizedNo, just that leadbelchers are being replaced by hunters, that's it, that's the thingthe rest of the rumors are about how ogres are getting back their focus about the true great maw, getting back butchers, a special character slaughtermaster, a special character who's a richfag, and a special character who's the boss of maneatersthis is NOT what a refocusing on beastclaw would sound like, at allalso the ironblaster is not getting touched while the mournfangs are, and sabertooths are going away altogether
>>96774998
>>96774985> Another TroonGA 'leaker' who speaks in cryptic bullshitNowtherearetwoofthem.jpegGod I hate that website
>>96774997>FEC were retarded before they were, well, given flesh to be stretched out.I just want more units themed around the new shit, the cryptguard are neat and all but I am waiting for GW to go more in depth with creative ways of making medieval attire from rags and corpses.
>>96774998If Hyperborea doesn't look like this I'm not going there
>>96775006I miss when underworlds warbands were unkillable psychopaths trapped in an endless maze killing each other in a non-stop loop.GW getting rid of that concept with "NECROQUAKE IS OVER EVERYONE" was stupid.
>>96775006Nagash was such a bitch for destroying mirror hell just because he couldn't vore their souls
>>96774977>Sylvaneth technically started out as a microfactionGW only changed normal elves into glowing half tree elves, its basically the same but people didn't really like them so they add flesh elves back in.But yeah like you said some factions could work if you spin it enough but some just work worse as a separated concept like fyreslayers, original fantasy slayers worked because they contrasted nicely with armor dwarfs and had a nice cultural background.
>>96775014MODS, THERES A NIPPLE
>>96775027>people didn't really like themYou got any metrics on that?
>>96775031You fucking silly goose! It's a man nipple! Remember, women's nipples (those things that feed babies) are EVIL and SEXUALLY EXPLICIT while male nipples (the same thing but useless) and fine.
>>96775005Retarded that GW is essentially taking the black powder niche of ogres away; lead belchers are a cool as fuck concept (and models), GW just saddled them with shit rules throughout AoS because they are faggots.And it's retarded the 'return to more primative aesthetic' means 'no more black powder,' first world peoples throughout north American still lived in tribal, mobile, primative societies while quickly embracing guns for hunting and warfare. It's just once again lazy fucking Bongs being lazy fucking bongs
>>96775027Its not that people dont like them its just that they should be a part of a greater whole. I really say I fucking hate the bug riders, mainly just because the kit is a bitch to assemble and paint.
>>96774583Wait they fucking what
>>96775005>a special character who's a richfagBtw its not glittermaw himself but his daughter
>>96775060The big pigs ridden by the Ironjawz swallow the metal armor of their enemies and poop it out. The Ironjawz take what's left and punch it into shape.
>>96775060Ironjawz pigs eat people whole and shit out their metal, orcs collect that for their armor
>>96775043Male nipples are uninteresting whereas female nipples are pretty cool.
>>96775060Ironjawz let pigs shit their weapons out. If it cant handle the bowels of dem pigz, its got no place being shanked into a liberators mug.
>>96774998>>>96775014Fuck mudcore give me retarded ultra high fantasy 3000 every day ignore my relatively tame pic >>96775027I feel like it's still different enough if the elves are actually trees, visually and lore wise
>>96775069richdyke didn't sound the same
>>96775027> People didn't like the tree revenants or spite revenantsSays who? The models are fine, the only issue is the tree revenants could never really fight (their only use has always been teleporting objective grabbers and that's it) and spites see a spam build every other edition that flares out quickly. In fact, the concept probably was popular because the concept was used again for the archers and the dragonfly riders. The only downside is they are fucking expensive because they come in boxes of only five
>>96775084>I feel like it's still different enough if the elves are actually trees, visually and lore wiseI think it would have worked better without the wood parts
>>96775075>>96775078>>96775083H-how do kruleboyz get their metal?
>>96775091The detractors who say the non-trees are needed to round out the army never liked it in the first place.

>>96775017I don't think that gimmick is over
>>96775099Trade with the chorfs
I like the Funeral/Death Mask thing Stormcast got going on, but surely I won’t just do Marines again for my first AoS army….
>>96775020That's literally Nagash as a character. Fitting that he destroyed a glass house too
>>96775099Pillaged from non-Krulies or traded from Helsmiths.

>>96775005Whitefang later liked a comment asking if the sabertooths are going to be like the knight judicator's gryphounds
>>96775102well *something* is needed. The only other thing I can see sylvaneth getting are faes. Which could be cool, but I dont know how you model the devious bastards for the table top besides just being NOT! nurglings.
>>96775092I don't think Treelords & Dryads: Now an Army with no treelords and dryads would have worked as well.
>>96775110People hype up Nagash but all I see is "Realm's Biggest Bitch Throws Reality Shaking Hissy Fit Because Someone Said No Souls For Baby"
>>96774985>Methought a vision dread: the Mortal Realms' end draweth nigh, whence no mortal soul shall find deliverance! >Freeguild Marshal (i love little kitty!) >Freeguild Warpriest >Freeguild Gallant >Freeguild Shooter >Even More… >VS >Death Master (i hate shadows!) >Night Runner >Gutter Runner >Even More…
>>96775118n-no…..
>>96775137>>Q: Any chance for some Duardin unit names as well? Just so we know what to expect in terms of FS/Dispo>A: i like Golem
>>96775132No I meant just glowing fae things without the wood part
>>96775145I laughed.
>>96775014Azyr is literally AoS' Hyperborea now that I think about it, with elements of Asgard.
>>96775137>(i love little kitty!)Fuck does that mean
>>96775130>well *something* is needed.Like what? Why? As it stands their units cover a wide array of roles and the model range has a clear, cohesive visual identity that's easily iterated on or extrapolated from. More stuff is always welcome but I don't see the argument for why it's a necessity.
I’m putting together some Gitz. What are you working on?
>>96775130>well *something* is neededNta but is there? They seem to be among the more popular aos factions, it's not like they're in dire need of some shakeups (from gw's perspective) like fyreslayers or idoneth>>96775137Sounds pretty warcry-ish actually
>>96775163riding a lion or griffin
>>96775170>square bases Planning to double dip into TOW anon ,not that I blame you night gobos are awesome in both settings
>>96775189Nah the Gitz will be a TOW only army, played an intro game last week and fell in love. I want to do an army of Sunstealas for AoS after because I love the models. IDC if they suck I don't really enjoy the gameplay of 4th so I just hobby mostly now, but I did fall in love with TOW as a game so maybe there is hope for me yet.
>>96775136> Age of Myth> Incarnate God's are dividing up the realms> They all agree Nagash gets the souls of the dead> However the dwarfs manage to get out of this deal, somehow> Then Sigmar starts stealing souls (powerful ones) for StormcastIt's understandable for Nagash to be pissed that the 'deal' was broken, however he also stabbed Sigmar in the back by not showing up during that battle of the Burning Skies against the Chaos forces, and that was before Sigmar started pinching souls for Stormcast.Did they ever provide a reason why Nagash didn't show up?
>>96775163It probably comes with one of those little gargoyle thingies on its base
>>96774939> Their ancient models aren't getting refreshed and will be styled on by all the new gutbuster stuffLol no they didnt
>>96775136He literally is petty with a "I am soo mighty lol" before getting clapped back.He wasn't even legit the King of Khemri as a human. He usurped the throne and when everyone turned on him, he threw a tantrum and decided to destroy his own country, before getting backstabbed in both senses of the word.
>>96775161Stormcast Eternals are basically Odin's Valhallan army, except they're active while Odin's army is waiting for Ragnarok. Kinda hopeful in a way. Once Chaos is defeated, the SCE's can return to Azyr to drink and party.
>>96775170>>96775210Man do they look comical on those big squares, I thought 25mm round bases where already a bit too big for them.Well anyway, good luck with your gits anon, round or square. I gotta say Gitmob is going to be painful on your wallet, gw overprices the fuck out of chariots for some reason. Their spearhead is good value though.
>>96775242>before getting backstabbed in both senses of the word.Didn't he get fucked up by skaven in fantasy ? That would mean nagash got cucked twice by rats lol
>>96775248>Man do they look comical on those big squares, I thought 25mm round bases where already a bit too big for themNta but adding some mushroom should fix that problem
>>96775253Yep, that's why I said in both sense of the word. The Skaven let his rival escape and said rival stabbed him in the back eith a warpblade iirc.He also brings himself his own enemies with his wicked actions. And then wonders why everyone gangs up on him?
>>96775248The older models are quite big by comparison tbf
>>96775243They are basically Einherjar. Active of course, but still.
>>96775286Did gobbos get reverse scale crept?
>>96775302Kinda but the 'new' stabbas are a hell of a lot better than the older shit that they re released for TOW.
>>96775285Oh, and did I forgot to say Archaon is currently fucking up his Bonereaper empire? He's basically sabotaging his efforts to rebuild it that their supplies are Skaven bones which you can guess hot it goes.Not the first time Archaon has done this.
>coulda gotten a mandrakk warband that made enemy models punch each other>instead got Skaeth's Wild Hunt 2: Now With More SkaethSpitewood plain and simple isn't too my liking.
How far do you think gargoylians can evolve? Can they become steed sized, or take on a humanoid shape?
>>96775336Gargoylian Mascot-sized.I like my little guys - please don't shit them up.
>>96775327I may be a Chaos Hator but that sounds based as hell
>>96775302The old models were chunky by necessity of limited mould quality, the 7th ed models are more refined and proportional
>>96775333Are those sylvaneth or just, like... weird vegetables?
>>96775348
>>96775163>>96775226Or just an actual cat-thing. In the Nigiours of Cinderfall kit there is both a cat on a lady's base and a pet on its own base.
>>96775343I think being steedable is fine. Like a renown witch hunter or great knight riding on a chaos detecting bathorsething
>>96775348>>96775353I kinda like the old night goblins they have a fairy tale kobold vibe
>>96775336>>96775343They're just medieval marginalia so yes, they can probably get quite big.
>>96775357Diorama where a witch knight rides a gargoylian perched atop the ruins of a sigmarite cathedral
>>96775357>bathorsethingFirst read that as bath horse thing.
>>96775248They look fine ranked up on the 25mm. Especially once I actually base and paint them (I’m going to base the movement tray in the same way so it all blends)
>>96775369Is there a good source for big beetle models?
>>96775336They're just daemons of order. Greatter Gargolyn are possible
>>96775348I actually prefer the older sculpts. As they look more whimsical in a fairytale way. I went with the 7th edition fantasy night goblins because I want my fanatics to look the same and I wasn’t going to spend $30 plus shipping per fanatic to match the older TOW night goblins.
>>96775168>Like what?Like exploring the believers of Kurnoth and Alarielle? Or exploring the Outcasts beyond just Drycha? >Why? Because as it is, for a religion, Kurnoth/Ever-queen both feel more like a cult. Drycha herself is also feeling to homely even despite being an outcast. >>96775179>They seem to be among the more popular aos factionsYeah thats more reasons to give them more stuff to pick from. >in dire need of some shakeupsIt wouldn't be a shakeup, just a supplement. More of the same just leads to space marine syndrome.
Duncan doesn't like the new Chorfs and made a video making them " proper " chorfs :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grGdoRZmxNo
>>96775377I don't know, are you asking so you can get a single beetle for one conversion, or because you want to make an entire army out of different beetles? What do you mean by "big"?Necromunda Ash Wastes nomads ride one type of bug.
>>96775396Eh whatever.
>>96775396I don't want to hate but I agree with him. Baffling aesthetic overhaul for them. Feels like they made them different for its own sake.
>>96775414>Feels like they made them different for its own sake.I have news to tell you anon.
>>96775414Gonna be a faggot here. Chorfs looked stumpy and stupid
>>96775398>What do you mean by "big"?I was thinking horse-sized but then I remembered all of the CoS horsemen are sculpted to their mount. Maybe something dog-sized instead to replace the dogs in a wildercorps unit.
>>96775396>Made the model worseTo each their own I suppose.
>>96775396I know you're trying to stir shit, but he just says that they don't work quite as well for tow and shows you a few quick fixes to make them work. personally I wanna try and give them all sumerian style maces, but I gotta get better at greenstuffing for that [/spoiled]
>>96775459He literally says AoS is trash and a dying game lmao. Watch until the end of the video, attention spanlet.
>>96775465Thought it was a bit extreme when he said stormcast players should be rounded up and thrown off rooftops desu
If AoS dies will there be End Times 2 and The Mortaler Realmses?
I know it's silly question, but still....Is it still stigmatized to really like Stormcasts? I just really like these golden boys and girls. Like their aesthetic, like how they easy to paint and play
>>96775487I wasn't super surprised that he holds that belief, but it was pretty jarring when he started to describe his process for catfishing Stormcast players into arranging games and then gutting them behind high street. It was literally insane when he listed the dumpsters their bodies are hidden in.
>>96775515They're not as pushed as Marines. Have fun with them.
>>96775515I kind of think less of you because Stormcast have been and always will just be a cynical attempt to port Space Marines to Fantasy.
>>96775515>Like their aestheticWhich one? Almost every new wave of releases has had its own. The ones released through the Skaventide box have a much different presentation from the ones that debuted in Mighty Battles.
>>96775529NTA but I like(d) sacrosanct and extremis. I dont mind ruination or slimcasts but its whatever. That elite fatcast unit with the two handed hammers will always have a place in my heart though.
Take me back.
>>96775524>They're not as pushed as MarinesOnly because they don't sell anywhere near as well as marines. They tried to make them marines and were soundly rejected. To this day the whole setting suffers from the existence of Stormcast.
>>96775529Big armored holy warriors with hammers. I really like annihilators and paladins. Sadly that last ones get squatted
>>96775515>stigmatized to really like stormcastNo? I've never heard of people stigmatizing SCE players, mostly just being mad that they get way more units and support than any other faction, even when they're not THAT popular. I like the look of stormcast, I just dont' want an entire army of metal face gold boys
>>96775551Too bad they can’t die so it’s impossible to care about them in any way in the stories. Yes I know they forget their Starbucks order when they get reforged, no it’s not a death.
>>96775538Fat guy on a 1995 movie tie-in action figure.
>>96775515I think they're boring to play against, but that's all I can say really. Most of the people here are fags that run 1k of dragons in narrative games, though.
>>96775564Did you just want people to hear that. That doesn't seem particularly relevant to that anons post
>>96775564Eternal servitude in battle does seem like a pretty raw deal, even if you can't die. GW should put out some stormcast golems that are like fully hollowed out stormcast that don't even speak and are basically just sentient armor. Even if they're immortal, there needs to be some kind of "death" to make the characters lives more meaningful, I agree.
>>96775634Lightning Gheists. Have them be chaperoned by sacrosanct stormcasts.
>>96775634I thought their deal was that they slowly lose their memories, personality, and individuality every time they respawn
>>96775646well they do but aside from the ruination chamber, they dont really represent that.
>>96775564They do die. A lot.>Ogors can eat their souls>Bel'akor can prevent their souls escaping>Nighthaunt capture their souls to torture>Nagash takes pieces of them as Sigmar yanks them away>they may fail to reforge and "die" in the sense they're barely/not sentient They have a whole company of Stormcast that are barely more than automatons and people to grant them true death.,
>>96775672>Ogors can eat their soulsGod AoS lore can be so fucking cringe sometimes.
>>96773240I love Skragrott but we need a new leader with a huge squig mount like the rest of factions
>>96775692They can belch fire but you draw the line at them eating sovl?
>>96775538>>96775574I was going to say, early aos has such a 2005-esque character to it. They should've jumped the gun a decade earlier.>>96775634>>96775672Yknow bit weird that ruination was all about highlighting the tragedy of stormcast, sigmar lied and all that, but it really did the opposite? We already knew about them losing their memories and shit, but now they have an actual out thanks to the lord executioners. Like objectively being a stormcast is an excelle fate compared to the rest of the mortal realms :>live your life>die>get reforged as an 8 foot tall demigod>save/avenge your loved ones, beat the fuck out of this edition's enemy for a few hundred years>slowly lose your memories, who cares, you would've been dead anyway>when you're actually a husk and it starts to become morally questionable you can just get assisted suicide lolLike that's actually pretty nice? They should retcon sigmar's mercy if they wanna make stormies actually dark.
>>96773240Positively radical
>>96775705Yes, because I can conceptualize them belching fire. I can't conceptualize a soul being eaten. It's just empty words devoid of any meaning.
>>96775723are you new to warhammer or something anon? dining on souls is in all of them.
>>96775750I've been around much longer than you have most likely. Way to prove my point linking awful art too.
>>96775757>uhm ackshully I'm a grog That's not a boast.
>>96775757A point? you had one?
>>96775723>I can't conceptualize a soul being eaten.You see this lady? Just picture a sweaty fat man stuffing her into his mouth and gulping down.
>>96775769Is there an actual concrete explanation for what a " soul " is in AoS?
>>96775773if you need to find out what a soul is you need to do some soul searching my man.
>>96775773No, it's just a big word like " God/Gods " that AoS writers use because people can fill in the blanks with their own interpretation.
>>96775773We had an entire war about them, Anon.
>>96775800So you should be able to explain what they are?
>>96775805I wasn't drafted, unfortunately.
>>96775800SSHHHH hes been around longer than anons here, he should already know,
>>96775773You're taking AoS lore too seriously. It's just a backdrop for wacky ideas.
>>96775825warhammer not being super duper serious all the time? NOT MY WARHAMMER!
>>96775839Warhammer making basic sense or being logically consistent? NOT MY WARHAMMER
>>96775844This but unironically
>>96775672Late relply but in fact, we literally see one die permanently in War Storm(the first AoS novel) by Khorgos Khul, cuz his Axe sent his soul to Khorne's realm.
>>96775723>anon can't conceptualize soul food
>>96775857Oh yeah, they run the risk of permanent death when they run into chaos realms, an excerpt in plague wars kinda did a good job setting the stakes.
>>96775866Hammerhal herald was soul heh yknow come to think of warcom in general feels a bit dull compared to back in the day.
>>96775899>warcom in general feels a bit dull compared to back in the day.Kind of like the game itself. There has been some massive shift in GW from 3e to 4e where the people in charge either don't care nearly as much as the previous crew or they are incompetent. But after GW snubbing AoS during the 10 year anniversary I think they just don't care.
>>96775899They’ve stopped doing weekend videos in general as well. Idk. Gw is just in a weird transitional funk.
>>96775919I think it might just be AoS. 40k and even ToW get high effort promos for their new stuff.
>>96775950what? Anon genuinely what are you on about?
>>96775950Faggot they don't do anything half as souls as Herald for ToW
>>96775705I think it's less the concept of eating a soul and more that Ogors are so unbelievably one note that they had to write them being able to eat souls or they would have no reason to go after Nighthaunt. Soul eating also feels like way more of an undead trait to fit with vampires and flesh eater courts than the big fat guys who already eat everything else.
>>96776031AoS writers and subtlety do not mix.
>>96776042fair, I just don't think they needed to eat souls too.
>>96774351It's pretty surprising that I've only seen a single purple/gold color scheme aside from my own. I figured it'd be pretty popular for the chorfs.
>>96776047I did not mean what I wrote as a compliment. I agree with you.
>>96775327Where is it said Archaon is attacking Shyish and the Ossiarch Empire?
>>96776053Hello purple gold poster, are you planning on getting some more chorfs to augment your force or are you sticking to the spearhead? Been enjoying your updates.
>>96775396Duncan isn't relevant
>>96776053The bull walker doesn't look like a warhammer sculpt. Looks like a rip off Kings of War sculpt.
>>96776053>recognize the backdrop from 40kgDamn you really have a thing for stunties eh? Looks great though buddy, the fire turned out really nice
>>96775538> Battletome Chaos DreadholdHow about no
>>96776053I feel like I've seen a few variations of it. Pic related for example. Although my overall impression is that Zharr Vyxa's bold red is the most popular way to go, followed by Ur-Zorn's teal.Also damn you knocked it out with that bull bot. Nice work.
>>96776100I like those
>>96776031I dunno anon its such a simple thing that im surprised its something that only aos has had. >or they would have no reason to go after Nighthaunt. The anon before was saying that its so they could kill stormcasts permanently, and the general undead as well. >Soul eating also feels like way more of an undead trait Im uh, im confused how you can think this. Maybe its more of demon thing ( its certainly a common thing in wuxia/xianxia novels). I know vampires kinda need to drink ze blood but Its not really the same thing.
>>96775561Cities with Stormcast allies is where the AoS soul was>>96775574Do not slander my boys, objectively the coolest mount in the game, i live in dread of them being replaced with thunderfag armor, that will give them furry bate faces
>>96776083I gotta disagree, anon. It's one of the best sculpts I've seen from GW in a while. I'm not a chaos guy overall but damn that thing is a beautiful demon engine.>>96776084>Own chorfs>Own votann>Own kharadronsDamn right I do. Only ones I don't like are slayers.>>96776074Pre order list hit my LGS and I asked the owner to order me a list of around $500 worth of the rest of the range. However it might be a bit before it comes in because he only saw my order message after the day he calls GW. He said he'd try to call again and/or snag it this Saturday for me, though. I plan to have it all eventually.>>96776100This is pretty close, but I think it's a bit more gold/black than purple. Looks really good though, and yeah I definitely see a lot more of the red chorfs than any other.
>>96776167>I'm not a chaos guy overall but damn that thing is a beautiful demon engine.Nothing about it, absolutely nothing, says chaos or daemon engine. It's a really bad sculpt that I would expect out of a second rate small studio and not GW.
>>96776109There's already a lot of really sweet HoH paintjobs out there. A lot of people are experimenting with color palettes and techniques to figure out what looks good, so it's fun to look around.
>>96776183need to get your eyes checked I guess.
>>96776193This one is tight, I like the blue/hot pink flame
Muspelzharr more like Must-plap-zharr
I can't believe The Legion Grows autist fucking died before seeing the evil midgets in AoS.

>>96775137>>96776368He also liked a post speculating that this whole thing is spearhead related.>>96776252>not must-plap-herSo close anon
>>96776409>spearhead you now have my interest. Hopefully its with more of those realm thingamajigs
>>96775137>>Death Master (i hate shadows!)He's going to have sculpted shadows like the khainites and mandrakes ugh
>>96776071Iirc, StD 4e. He's currently on Shyish and Abraxia is on Ghyran, while Gunnar was dealing with the Skaven in Snow Peaks.
>>96776440Knowing skaven he probably has a candle lit backpack and is the cause of the shadows themselves.
>>96775396Using a Chaos Legionnaire axe would have made more sense seeing how they have the same sort of half-serration thing as old chorf axes
>>96776409>new cities and skaven spearheadI sleep, when's the actual chorf spearhead box coming?
>limited time box >600+ stores stocking it Now that the dust has settled, why did the Helsmiths of Hashut flop?
>>96776513theres in total 3 dorks who actually give a shit about chorfs irl
>>96776513Turns out pandering to the groggiest of grogs in AoS doesn’t work. Who could have foreseen grogs rejecting an AoS release? Everyone who wasn’t employed at GW.
>>96776271As bad as his models were he said others bought the STLs lmao
>>96774536He is a great model, I just hate the arms out pose, I've seen some cool kitbashes that change it around a bit
>>96776513it would help if those stores put it up on ebay or something. Im not using that app. Also is there anything more cucked than being a fucking leaf?
>>96776549The app is just an aggregate type website. 99% of the stores listed there have their own websites and most are actual storefronts.
>>96776513Can you stop spamming the same ragebait in every thread and instantly replying to yourself about how AoS is a flop
>>96774642I just finished the first story in this the other day, I'm generally not a Stormcast guy but I actually felt emotional at the end of it, it was just a really good short story about two brothers with two unreconcilable beliefs.Also the second story with the Dwarfs was cool
>>96776570hes been in the thread all day anon, hes just bored.Probably upset that tww is having its endtimes.
>>96776570It’s not the same ragebait I take new pics every time to make sure it’s accurate for the day I post. Also HoH flopped, why do you think that is?
>The Branchwych is able to use her magical loom to weave and shape plants into deadly weapons and other items. Given respite, she can spend time creating a facsimile of a weapon from roots, vines, and fauna.>faunaKinda funny to consider the tree lady grabbing a squirrel and stretching it out into a broadsword.
>the fucking leaf is here againLel
>>96773163Lore question I guess, souls can be reborn yeah? So why is the spooky ghost flying around trying to show people a sand clock, sure everyone/most die but everyone can just get reborn again right?
>>96776636everyone knows squirrels do flailsfor a broadsword you use a beaver
>>96776691>everyone knows squirrels do flailsYou know the rules. Stream it.
>>96775750This is art of icy breath being used not him eating the soulsMan BCR used to be so cool
>>96776689reincarnation is not the norm at all, nothe average soul is consumed by demons or enslaved by nagash, if you're lucky you have a patron death deity and afterlife that hasn't been taken over by nagash yet and can spend your time as a spoopy ghost in whatever heaven/hell your culture believed in, at least until someone still remembers you or there are enough believers to keep that afterlife physical, otherwise you fade into nothingor, again, get devoured or enslaved by demons or undead
>>96775694Yeah, especially after all the Overbounder fluff. We don't even have a real Loonboss on Mangler Squig really, you have to convert the kit to have one instead of a group of runty grots the non-hero build has too
>>96775694nah, little boss skragrott is perfect as isputting every leader on a fuckhueg monster is a mistake, if you want a fuckhueg monster that can be fielded separately
>>96776636I wonder if splinter-proof condoms exist.
>>96776761Skraggrot is not little, he's the biggest grot in the whole game. I'd love a shroomdrake with a generic grot hero atop it
>>96776513Maybe I live in a bubble, but I had only seen TOW players excited for the prospect of Chords before they got revealed.
>>96776863that's because it turned out they weren't chaos dwarfs, but dark dwarfs
>>96776863Yeah? Because chaos dwarfs were only in TOW prior to the helsmiths release.
>>96776900Wrong.
>>96776863>>96776900Yeah I think this is it. People outside of AoS wanted Chorfs. Then AoS got Helsmiths and not Chorfs. Very limited appeal. They look very uninspired and the aesthetic styles class within the range.
Sylvaneth models could do more with sap. And fruits. And faces in odd places.
>>96776975You could just ask for an alarune
My Ogor Mawtribes hail from the Pool of Tranquility in Ghyran
>>96776982That would suggest that I need them to be female, but so long as the designs are interesting to look at I don't mind their being male or female.
>>96776863>>96776934Didn't they sell out in like 5 mins or something? They seem to have done fine.
>>96776763It would be smooth heartwood coated with sap. If the dryads can move, why wouldn't the space contract and stretch?
>>96777032Realistically no one can gauge the success of GW products. >Battleforces available for over a year Because they were ambitious and overstocked.>Helsmiths sells out immediately Because they were cautious about overstocking. Either way GW reports record breaking profits every quarter and the only change will be because of licensing at this point.
I bought Helsmiths because I like dwarves, same reason I bought Votann in 40k
>>96777082I'm considering buying them because they look like painting them would be very easygoing and pleasant.
>>96777032It's a limited edition box that is available absolutely everywhere. Just because it " sold out " on the official GW webstore does not mean it did well.
>>96777140It’s not available at my LGS, and that’s a bit of an inconvenience for me.
>>96777140>just because it sold out immediately on the official website doesn't mean it sold well!!I mean technically you're right, it doesn't have to mean that it sold gangbusters, but I'm going to go ahead and count "matching their expectations within 5 minutes" as selling well.
>>96777082I genuinely didn't understand votann were supposed to be 40k dwarves until someone told me. They look like just another human faction with slightly shorter proportions. Not a single thing here screams "dwarves" to me
>>96777235You picked the one thing in their army that doesn't contain a dwarf. Those are proto-Men of Iron
>>96777239okay but the dwarves wear the same armor. if you painted them white, I would think it's tau
>>96777235>I genuinely didn't understand votann were supposed to be 40k dwarves until someone told methat's because you're slow
>>96777235they've got runes and animal totems everywhere, idk what more can you give them given the modern 40k art direction
>>96777322They even have some of the 40,000 warhammers
>>96777235I know gw fucking loves slapping pouches and holsters on everything but for some reason it's rather comical to see on robots.
>>96777345They just want to fit in with the meatbags, anon. Kin is Kin.
>>96777337why did they steal the Lego hammers from mantic?
>>96777140It sold out almost immediately and GW restocked a few weeks later. Not the first time, nor the last.
>>96777407It never sold out across the 600+ third party stores in NA on that app. It flopped.
>>96777460Were you checking the app every day or something?
What is the best way to deal with skaven hordes?
Are there any races or archetypes you'd like to see playable under the Champions of Chaos ruleset that aren't in the book? Personally I'd like to see something like Stars & Scales, just a small PDF published online that adds in some Helsmith archetypes.
>>96777404Because they know mantic will never challenge them in court on anything. Even if gw is likely to lose the case, they would probably do what Nintendo is trying with that palworld guy and just waste as much of their time and money as possible to see if they'll give up and settle.
>>96777460On what app
>>96777575>racesZharrdron, I suppose. Or some of Warcry's monstrous units like fomoroids, sphiranxes, and centaurions simply for a meme tier option.>archetypesThe Curseling has a fun gimmick that could be fun to roleplay.Frankly most of what I'm missing in terms of character creation are the subfaction rules from all the previous books. I get that the mutations more than make up for it, but it's still one of those flavorful things I'd come to expect out of the Champions of Whatever books. Being able to slap an Idolator, Ravager, Despoiler, or Cabalist bonus on a PC right at character creation would be gratifying. And oddly there are also no rules or pointers on how to handle a PC's ascension to daemonhood. It's odd because that's kind of the endgame of the whole Path to Glory that's supposedly the core premise of the game.
>>96777567Depends on the army. But usually the answer is big magic.
>>96777235I don't even like LoV but if you look at their psyker and say it doesn't look like a dwarf you're insane
>Cogsmith doesn't interact with the Ironweld Canon anymore >Instead he buffs 12" movement copters he has to stay in range of So fucking stupid
>>96777825Is this pre 3rd edition hammerhal colour scheme? Quite nostalgic
>>96777825What does it matter those fantasy models are all going to be squatted soon.
>>96777952might as well enjoy them while one can.
>>96777961You might as well start rebasing them so you can enjoy them indefinitely in ToW.
>>96777021Utterly based.
>>96776975Best I can do is fauns with troll doll hair.
What is she up to?
>>96777969>enjoying dwarves in fb, EVER No. The the only thing I can comparably hate next to castle builds are death stars, and even that doesnt really measure up to my metric towards my disdain to castle builds, doubly so for all the fucking idiocy that a rank and flank game brings.
>>96778038just girly things
>>96778026This is getting to be tedious.
>>96778038She's relaxing with some Freeguilders she locked in chastity after saving CoS during the Dawnbringer Crusades I'm seeing a pattern, Morathi is order MVP and saves everyone during Broken Realms.She is order MVP and saves everyone during Dawnbringers.Who will be the DoK hero again takes the crown and saves everyone between 4th and 5th?
I like these.
>>96778112I never noticed the angry little dwarf face on the gun. Cute.
>>96778112I do prefer the flame thrower option more.
Does anyone know when smiths will get updated in the app?
She looks so completely done with this shit. Clock in, point the flammenwerfer where the despot says to, clock out. Not one enunciated word spoken to the rest of the unit, not one twitch of the lip.
>>96778165>Helsmiths are quiet quitting
>>96778178Lmao
>>96778165>Lost hope in her own craftsmanship long ago
I have finished cleaning and assembling a box of stabbas. I think I will get another 2 boxes of stabbas to make 2x 30 man units.
>>96778246>square basesAre you in the right place?
>>96778246Okay I can kinda understand why people might complain about the new base sizes now. Thats a bit....yeah.
>>96774459>sheet ghosts>lizards>zombies and boners>Sigmar citiesIDK anon, you can say a lot about GW. But their standard paint schemes are usually pretty fucking good.
>>96778271Nah cities of sigmar have some good alternative schems in the book. I wish Lethis was the face of cities
>>96778263From what I've seen the only units that really look off on that size are night goblins and giant rats. The main reason why the base size change sucks is that you have to buy new bases (or get a tray that accounts for the change).
>>96778338or you just dont. its not like the extra few millimeters makes that much of a difference. caving to GWs base size autism, especially for a dead half OOP zombie game like ToW is absolute cuckold behavior
>>96778263For most models it's much better in that you can do more dynamic poses like with Black Orcs. The 7th edition night gobbos will look fine once based properly, but remember the " TOW " night goblins are the older larger scale ones.
>>96778355i have never understood the appeal of these tightly packed ranked up movement trays. it looks like a fucking public transit packed in there like sardines
>>96778377When you see it on the table you’ll get it. It looks like a microchasm of an ancient battle (formations of men fighting formations of men with occasional skirmishes firing at each other and the formations as harassment)
>>96778377Exactly, which is why the larger bases were a very good thing. Imagine how black orcs looked before on bases that were smaller.
If I can get Gobsprakk at a discount, is he a solid add to red orks?
>>96778377Looks better with smaller and more uniform infantry than blorcs
why the fuck are old world fags trying to take over the thread
>the bases are too big! >the bases are too small!Posters here act like they’re in a fairy tale.
>>96778578Nugrog nogames raiding cuz nostalgiabait game is nothingburgerTRANSLATION: People who claim to be longtime players and are in fact new to the game or have only learned of it through Total War and have not actually engaged in gameplay are arriving in the thread to troll and generally be demeaning towards this game as The Old World provides them with nothing but a facsimile of classic Warhammer Fantasy and has not recently had much to discuss in their own thread.
>>96778680>are arriving in the thread to troll and generally be demeaning towards this gameWho is actually doing this right now? Can you actually point at the posts doing that? You're literally acting just like the speds on /wfg/ who shit their diapers any time you mention anything related to AoS. People are just talking about square bases.
Am I the only person here who likes both fucking games and can't stand the retarded petulant puerile console war squabbling brought up on either fucking thread any time the other one is mentioned
So how do mutations for hashut differ from the ones tzeench has?
>>96778773There aren't really too many direct mentions or sightings of Hashut mutations besides tusks, horns, bull centaurs, lammasu, and the stone curse afflicting the wizards. This could be because of dwarfs/duardin being naturally resistant to magic to a degree, Hashut's lesser power compared to the other gods, the Helsmiths' attitudes and behaviors towards their relationship with chaos, or all three.Tzeentch, due to his status as the god of change, has his mutations be basically anything. Tentacles, extra arms, scales, feathers, organs in the wrong places, constantly-flaming body parts, et cetera. Avian stuff seems especially common, and older models often featured the arms of horrors or flamers as mutations.
>>96775102>The detractors who say the non-trees are needed to round out the army never liked it in the first place.The "army" in question is pretty much a third of a previously existing army but less. Only glue suffers would considerthat an upgrade.
>>96775103>British bachelorette slag >combined with cave man aestheticThey're literally the same thing
>>96775108>SOOOOOWWWWEEEEEThe most reasonable marinefag
>>96778899To be fair wood elves themselves already had a fairly small range to begin with.
>>96778950Sure, but how does making it even smaller help?
Got a quick game in for the first time in foreverm against a local guy. SBGL vs SBGL (but he had the Arkhan ROR) Managed to eek out a win after wiping out half his army and he wound up conceding around the 2nd half of turn 3.Was nice getting back in and having a more casual goof around beat-em up game.
Made it to the store before it closed to get more stabbas. They actually had a discounted orc battalion too so I picked it up because it’s a good deal despite being considered the worst battalion box.
>>96779040ANON NOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN GET 20 STABBAZ FOR 12 BUCKS FROM STORMBRINGERRRR ANONNNN!
>>96779066What? I checked ebay before to see if they were available cheaper but im pretty sure the store I go to has the best deal (20% MSRP off all GW, the battalion total war like 40% off MSRP)
>>96779093Da bad moon spoke to me once, he said something about BARGAINS.https://www.hachettecollections.com/en-us/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-stormbringer/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-stormbringer-issue-32/Also stormbringer just updated like, today I guess. So even more GSG, KO Grundstocks 5 for 13 bucks, AND some terrain They fucking skipped the Nexus Siphon issue, cheap bastard. Assuming the website isn't broken for anons, sometimes browsers don't seem to work MANY DEALS ABOUND.
>>96779136Wait what? Is this available in NA? I thought this was a UK/Europe only type deal. Much love for the shout anon.
>>96779151They did a full run that finished awhile back, they've had a store (that until a few months ago barely fucking updated due to I guess going through stock) but now it looks like they're gradually updating with what they have left.And glad to help, this shit's already expensive enough as is. If I can help people get things at a discount I can feel like I've helped a little bit.
>>96779164Thank you anon, you were a help but unfortunately there is no option to ship to Canada. Only the USA. I sincerely appreciate your effort anyhow. Thank you.
>>96779136oh hey they added new stuff>still no dragonsshit. Oh well, the vanquishers are fine too.
>>96779176Daw fuck, sorry homey. >>96779185I'm more pissed they skipped the nexus siphon, had plans for that one. Aw well, pickin up a couple guardian idols to make up for it.
>>96779192Silver lining is that due to how shit the Canadian dollar is, once the exchange rate is factored it the Hachette savings would only be about 30% kek
>>96779136Da evil sun spoke to me once. Called me a Git.
>>96779136>just got my thundricks profiteers and arkanaut admiral on ebay>I could have paid half as much for this insteadLast I checked the only KO thing they had was the premium pack with the boat and 3 balloon boys, serves me right for not checking back. Do we know how many more weeks of new issues there will be? Is it running till the end of the year?
>>96779285the spearhead magazine isn't even out in britbongland so I wouldn't worry until maybe midway 2026
>>96779285Fun fact, they don't say it but the KO thing also comes with a free navigator that isn't listed. And I nearly bought the admiral too, got some grundstocks but they were extra with an ebay lot I picked up. BUT HEY, looks like my Kharadron shit is looking up!
>>96779290I'm not talking about the spearhead one, I'm talking about the current stormbringer run, do we know how many editions thats getting before it ends?
>>96779285>>96779297Stormbringer already finished in the US, they just seem to update at random. I just happen to obsessively check in every now and again. And looks like it paid off tonight!
I'm on the fence with subscribing to Spearhead when it comes to burger, because on the one hand, good deal. On the other, james workshop shitpots. And spearheads for armies I do not care for.
>>96779328Just do what I did with Stormbringer, ignore it until they open a webstore with the leftover stock and buy whatever the hell you want piecemeal and in bulk because it's cheap.
>>96779336but what if they shoot me with a gun?
>>96779346They could do that at any point, they could do it right now! Best to live your life on the edge like a real american hero.
>>96779296>could get the thunderer issu, the endrinmaster with dirigible suit issue, and the premium kit 3 issue to get the same shit thats in the spear, plus an aetheric navigator for under 100$, including shippingIf only I had put off my purchases by like 2 months I could have saved a bunch. Definetly going to check this more often
>Issue 47, which is a terrain piece, is fucking missingthe fuck?
>>96779352You can never know with this shit, that's why i'm glad to spread the word for anons who might be starting one of said armys (and live in the US or places this shit ships)>>96779355I KNOW RIGHT, it's fucked up.
>>96779364I mean I already have one but another would make a great pair of PPs.
>>96779369It's a neat little thingy of terrain, I probably don't NEED more terrain but it'd be neat.
>>96776543Looks like you could lower his right arm down in a more relaxed pose and it would just look like he's raising his staff to do something
>>96779206Also you might get dinged with tariffs or other cross-border bullshitery fees
Tomorrow is just HoH full wave yea?
>>96779506Should be. Then I think we only have the quest?
>>96779506probably, there's already early listings posted on ebay
>>96779164>showing me I could get the Big Grikk's Kruleshots RoR for like $40 before Tax/S&HYou're dangling temptation, anon.
When does the pre order go live on gws website? Was gonna get the bulls and the demon smith on warp fire but both are out of stock there already.
>>96779587Soon, relax anon it's up in Japan already and nothing has sold out. HoH aren't very popular you aren't in danger.
>>96779626Japan isn't a very good example as they were always more pro fantasy than aos
>>96774998think this is probs my fav nagash pic
>>96779579This has been my year of overindulging my warhammer purchases. I figure worst case scenario I sell some stuff off and pass on the savings to the next guy.
>>96779631Well nothing besides the dice are limited
>>96779631>>96779626As someone that's known about 40k for a while but never heard of AoS till this year, how popular is AoS/WHFB in Japan? I noticed they have jp text on a lot of boxes, but I can't imagine it's very popular over there. AoS and Warhammer in general is like, hyper western aesthetically and it's hard to imagine expensive, imported, old ass sculpts competing with Gunpla in any major way.
>>96779664>>96779664>>96779664
>>96779657theres a few wargaming clubs in tokyo for aos and fantasy but i think everyone there is mostly already into plamo and view warhammer as a occasional novelty piece
>>96779136Is this UK based or is there a shipping location in EU?
