Most unnerving is a hard one, nothing particularly "scares" me in AOS. The only one that always made me feel a bit off was Annika the Thirsting blade.

the hair, the face, the weird swooshy thin body. She's very odd.
>>
This fucking thing. The beam looks like it's coming directly off the ogors head and I hate the ogors weird squint face. Even when you realize the beam is attached at the back and not from his head, it's still conceptually retarded. I'm suprised GW thought so highly of the model they put it front and center in the cities spearhead. The starter box for the generic second starter faction after stormcast and they want you to use this fucking thing

40k is somewhat popular but Japan was always the home of Fantasy outside Europe, AoS is on life support over there because they never stopped playing fantasy.

>>96779752
The screenshot of the spearhead on the store isn't great quality and regardless, a guy in a bucket attached by a wood beam to an ogor is already retarded, it being attached onto his head is only a small jump to make at that point.

This model is so fucking stupid but I can't help but like it. Maybe because it has a fantastic short story. Also has a normal ogre equivalent in the standard bearer.

Is this the first actually solid malerion rumour we've had, ...ever? Crazy times we're living in.
>>96780475
Seems to be more whitefang commenting as a player and not necessarily as a leaker. Still, I'm fine with 'shards' of the old even gods being picked up by new characters, in the way that morathi has usurped khaine, or krethusa is carrying the torch of morai-heg. It's only if those gods come back full force that it becames lame to me.
Interpreting the boole post in that light, he does say that mathlann, khaine and kurnous are already here, and those are the gods with some sort of model representation (even as a dead echo in the case of mathlann). Then morai-heg tarried long or whatever, but is now here with krethusa. He seems to imply that hoeth and asuryan are also coming then. Everybody is expecting tyrion to be asuryan, but maybe it's actually malerion who carries the flame? Can't have shadows without a source of light of course. Then maybe tyrion is the heir to hoeth? Lots of options.

I know this is spoon feeding and a cliche, but explain it to me like a child; they're selling these magazines along with a sprue, which is generally much more expensive in literally any other retailer. Wheres the catch?
>>
>>96780557
It used to be a subscription service, and you'd pay extra to get the paint/tools/models compared to just the mags. I think it ends up being quite a lot, but still cheaper than buying models if you really, really want all of them - or have a plan to offload.

>>96780538
I'm more curious about whether or not you can put the helmet of the Anointed Sentinels onto the body of the regular Bull Cetaunrs since that helmets + the armour would be KINO.

>>96780552
>It's only if those gods come back full force that it becames lame to me
I don't think that'll ever happen, just because the Warhammer Elf Gods never really existed as characters in fantasy, they were always more distant and unknowable beings. Isha/Kurnous were major exceptions with their mortal avatars, which carries over to AoS as well.
>>
>>96780552
it would be incredibly amusing if tyrion and teclis didn't carry the torch of any preexisting elven god, while the dark elves represent the real pantheon.

I doubt it.

Meanwhile Hoeth is the Wizard God, he's far more likely to be associated with Teclis than Tyrion.

I'm becoming a big fan of the OBRs without having pulled the trigger because of existing unpainted models.

I have one question though, whats the point of all the inside skulls? It looks like every larger model has each crevice stuffed with skulls? Yes I know aesthetics trumps reason but I'd like A reason even if it isn't sensible.

The new stuff is bigger/more refined proportionally but not significantly so. Kitbashes with Stabbas work well enough but of course the heroes and Gobbapalooza are all huge by comparison
Fanatics do look a lot bigger but they're so dynamic and I suppose it's only the bigger Grots that are as crazed

Not very. He's relatively tall and broad, but much of his bulk can be attributed to his attire. There's multiple layers of clothing and armor there, and in front he's got a beard with braids as thick as his gloved wrist, and then a gem-encrusted armor plate on top of that.

I dont mind if boss/shamans (do gitz even have shaman models after TOW?) are bigger because its established fluff that those grots are bigger because of the same growth phenomena that orcs have but fanatics being bigger triggers my autism because lore wise they are random grots that get drugged and hiden between stabbas ,so them being bigger defeats the point of hiding them.
I probably try to get some of the old fanatics i posted because they are more in scale with the others ,same with the mangler squig because the new one looks like a huge pain to transport and probably has the same issue the fanatics have with gobo size creep.

>Grot heroes have always been the same size as infantry until AoS
Yeah but I don't mind if heroes are bigger than infantry for goblins because you always can just say that he became the boss because he's bigger than other gobos.
>which didn't introduce any new fluff and just discarded the entire appeal of Goblins for the formulaic "heroes are bigger" design
I thought goblins have the same growth thing that orcs have ,that they grow bigger by bullying others of their kind etc
>There's a legends warscroll for shamans but otherwise it's just the Fungoid and Gobbapalooza

I HOPE ANON WHO HAS EXPRESSED LOVE FOR RELIGIOUS SIDE OF HASHUT READS THIS!

I know that Helsmiths of Hashut have just gotten a big new release but nonetheless, inspired by new lore as well as my love for dwarves who follow the true god of the Mortal Realms, Hashut, I am hoping to hear what new miniatures fellow HoH players would like for us to recieve in future editions. What would you like to see added to HoH range?
Now I know it is unrealistic for Helsmiths of Hashut to get a range so large, this is rather a collection of things I would like to see in editions to come for them. In addition, I would humbly present my own ideas for range expansion. I have taken inspiration from a long history of Chaos Dwarf lore but also let my own imagination run wild with a few models. Also, I was inspired by very rich history of Mesopotamia plus Minoan culture too.
I shall begin with things that already have models or have been depicted in Warhammer Total War. So I hope to see Helsmiths of Hashut receive in future:
1. Lammasu model.
2. A elite infantry unit, akin to legendary Infernal Guard/Ironsworn from FW and also seen in Warhammer Total War. Black armour with fire helmets. Melee axes (two handed or one handed with shields) burning with inner fire or armed with fireglaives.
3. A proper massive cannon, since Tormentor Bombard is more mortar like. Something like old Hellcannon.
4. Magma Cannon.
5. Chaos Dwarf version of Helblaster Volley Guns.
6. More Hobgrot heroes and units.
7. Bull Centaur hero.
8. A elite infantry unit made of clockwork automata infused by daemon essence or three man unit of fire/lava elementals encased in armour, like K'Daai Fireborn.

HERE BRO!!! Give me your thoughts on my ideas.

Now onto my two fan made ideas.
There is a very opulent, rich and even decadent aspect of Chaos Dwarf lore and religion of Hashut that I felt needed to be explored in form of their priesthood, the Scorched Sect. Helsmiths of Hashut are Duardin and all Duardin are capable of creating things of beauty. Servents of Hashut would reflect the Chaos beauty as well as utmost desire of Hashut to dominate all, mortal or other Chaos Gods under his hoofs.
1. I really love the Ashen Elder sculpt. Now, from the new battletome, Helsmith society is a dance of politics and power between Despots, Daemonsmiths and Ashen Elders (leaders of the Scorched Sect, the very priesthood of Hashut based in Ur-Zorn in Realm of Beasts, Ghur). In new tome, lore about Despots and Daemonsmiths is quite well explored but the lore of priesthood of Hashut is undeveloped. We know they hold control over Bull Centaurs, which is a massive political power for them. But what do they do in religious rites, how do Hashutite temples look and how do ceremonies look like? How do they interact with their faithful. These are the questions I hope the next battletome or HoH fiction explores.

Back to model idea. I imagined a named Ashen Elder hero on top of a massive shrine palanquin carried by Helsmith servants on their backs. The shrine would have a massive golden bull idol on it. A ornamented large altar made purely out of red ruby would be in front of it. Censers would be placed at four corners of shrine, the narcotic incense rising from the censers (the smoke being the Breath of the Bull, which is what Bull Centaurs who become Anointed Sentinels inhale when they don sacred Hashutaar helmets, according to lore in battletome). A named Ashen Elder character would stand and preach from obsidian stone like tablet book. The effects of the Breath of the Bull incense and the preaching of Ashen Elder would inspire Helsmiths to fight like never before and not yield a inch back, no matter what foe comes at them. I feel a named Ashen Elder hero would be good counter point to ambitions of Urak Taar.
2. Idolater Daemonengine. Now, remember that Hashut desires to see all, mortal, undead and all gods submit to him, he want to see all Mortal Realms trampled beneath his hoofs. He is a god of eternal tyranny and dominance. Sadly, in HoH battletome, Hashut is not playing the Great Game like other 5 Chaos Gods are. But what if that were to change? Idolater Daemonengines are the answer and greatest insult of Hashut to other five Chaos Gods. Each Idolater Daemonengine is a unique work of art and testament to Helsmith genius. Each Idolater Daemonengine is very large statue made in shape and form of one of five Chaos Gods or in the shapes of their servants, mortal and daemonic. Indeed, even the weapons that statues wield are reflecting of which Chaos god statue is.

With basic standard bearer, the gnoblar is too small for the ogre to case.
And even if the gnoblar falls off or gets killed, he won't give a shit
With CoS ogre, he somehow has to keep good enough balance for the guy not to miss his shots all the time

At first glance, many, including the worshippers of Chaos, would assume that the statues honor Khorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle, Tzeentch and Great Horned Rat. Nothing could be further from truth. For each Idolater Deamonengine is fueled by bound daemons. Tzeentch daemons fuel Tzeentch Idolater Daemonengines, likewise those of Nurgle daemons fuel Nurgle ones. When fueled by bound daemons, each Idolater Daemonengine becomes a walking engine of death, capable of running for days without tiring or choking a Gargant to death with its articulated hands.
For example, a Idolater Daemonengine dedicated to Slaanesh might be made of finest white marble, with veins of emerald criss-crossing the statue and emerging on marble skin of statue to form thorns of pure emerald and roses made of various gems. The statue is armed in one hand with great whip made out of very same emerald that is emerging from palm of statue and then extending for a dozen meters before ending in 6 deadly massive blades. The other hand carries a highly elaborate and ornamented massive gun which is capable of releasing immense gouts of lilac hued perfumed smoke which induces a state of complete ecstasy in all who inhale the smoke ( think of the Lurid Haze Slaaneshi warband from Wrath of Everchosen book), leaving them defenseless against blades of whip that the statue carries. At the upper back side of engine, behind the steel bars and through burning smoke, hands and heads of Slaaneshi daemons can be seen, trying in vain to escape the horror to which they are subjected upon.

Indeed such is the allure of these daemon fueled statues that servants of Chaos often try to worship them before they realize to their horror what insult to their patron gods these statues are.

These engines are the very pinnacle of Helsmith daemonsmith art, towering even over Dominator Engines, though dark whisphers speak of a even more gargantuan engines chained in the depths beneath immense ziggurats.
----‐---------
I have to add one final thing, I really wonder how a Idolater engine fueled by my second favorite faction, the Flesh Eater Courts would look alike. Fueled by souls of ghouls and Kingsblood maybe.

I don't get that from their visuals at all, it just looks like a generic sci fi faction. you could put their armor and vehicles in any other sci fi setting and it would fit just fine. Tau, while leaning into a more gundam sort of design is still very distinct, there's nothign distinct about votann.

Malign Portents was a fun campaign. They should do Malign Portents 2.

Dok will become the gitmob in their own book worst case scenario. It's probably more going to be a warclans type deal.

GW are too obsessed with matched play to ever do a fluffy campaign again but I loved the weekly rules and voting for Malign Portents coupled with the short stories

>>96781919
Thats in part because seasons of thondia was such a fucking mess.
>>
>>96781848
then you havent actually worked with their kits at all.

hearthkyn warriors have all sorts of shovels and mining picks in their kit, hernkyn pioneers have entire luggage racks full of mining equipment, you've got an exoframe unit wielding mining lasers, their vehicles are moon rovers, their new artillery are drill based blasting charges, their melee unit are sweaty shirtless coal miners. they have a whole unit of scouts in dusters with demolition charges
>>
So ogres are going to follow beastmen in being killed off and sent to TOW?
>>
>>96781929
you know what they REALLY need? Cowboys. Not "oh character with bolt revolvers" or some shit, MOTHA. FUCKIN. COW. BOYS. With big ole hats and boots and saloons and shit
>>
>>96781936
yeah lets just ignore the rumor engines they have for aos.
>>
>>96781938
One of their kill teams is already a bunch of squats in dusters with revolvers but agreed
>>
>>96781929
that's great, but all I see in this picture is 3 guys in generic boring armor holding guns. Nothing about this model reads "frontiersman" or "miner"
>their vehicles are moon rovers
yeah why? what about that is supposed to convey "dwarf"? what about that is supposed convey a miner or frontiersman?
>bro it says pioneer on the box, that means they're pioneers!
That's not how that works. It's fine if you like their design, but they did a terrible job visually communicating the faction concept they were going for.

I like this, im surprised this concept didnt naturally creep on me.
>Idolater Daemonengine.
mmm Im of mixed opinions on your ideas for this generally. I dont think the smiths would like to idolize, or even directly depict the other chaos gods, but rather warp them into some kind of mixed imagery of hashut with the other gods. Like, look at the dominator engine, on the belly area, there are some subtle demonic eyes, now yes they are undivided, but if the engines were to carry on something robbed from the other gods, maybe make the eyes bigger and go harder with the flame symbology for tzeetnch. Overall I do like the idea of mixing the two so long as it promotes to the bull fathers glory, and not the false pretenders!
>Fueled by souls of ghouls and Kingsblood maybe.
Would be interesting, I dont personally have ideas on how to make it work though.

They would not be idolizing other Chaos Gods, but basically caging them in idols representing other Chaos Gods and using them as weapons. Basically, proving that Hashut is dominant above all.

They need the lammansu.
Maybe a foot acolyte unit (similar aesthetic as the gong ringer in the infantry) who have some synergy with the ashen elders or the sentinel bulls (count them as one DPP higher when within a certain range, grant a Ward to the elder, whatever). Less armor than the normal Chorf, maybe lean into the religious aspect with blazers and censors that grant some penalty to shooting or some shit.
> New warmachine
I honestly don't know what can be added that isn't just going to be a 'skaven warmachine BUT CHORF' at this point. The magma cannon could be 'reimagined' but then you step on the toes of the dominator with flame throwers.
>>
>>96782066
Hmmm really I don’t know at this time. I have mixed ideas that could go in all sorts of directions, i do agree with the things that you listed should be included into the range, if I really had to include something that left field, it would be named hero’s based off of Gilgamesh and Enkidu, and adapt their stories to Aos, could probably turn Valaya into a Ishtar figure too, at least in the smiths perspective.
But for uh…non narrative things, I think they should get a second battleline of chaos dwarf cultists, but these are kind of outcast helsmiths that have failed mutations, and are adorned with masks similar to what the centaur sentinels have, but are much, much more worn down.

Cool ideas.

I said above, but there is a decadent and opulent aspect to Chaos Dwarfs, fitting given the Mesopotamian influence. I hope religious side of HoH society reflects this.

I really love the aesthetics and lore of Anointed Sentinels. The Hashutaar helmets are a thing of beauty. Lore is excellent too, they are quite literally breathing in the narcotic incense fumes, driving them into a state of powerful religious ecstasy.

Also what about Brass Bull or Brazen Bull altars?

nta but I'm also pretty underwhelmed by their designs, theres plenty of existing concepts for space dwarfs that work well making these design decisions just...off. They're not bad and I do believe you that having them in your hands gives a better impression ( I'll probably go up against a votan player in a while so I'll see for real ) but just looking at the pictures they don't scream space dwarf. Not enough beards probably, can be fixed with green stuff.

I suppose it's a lagging response to the criticism bitching and moaning from the game's first couple editions.
>>
>>96783057
They shouldn't have listened. AoS needs to be it's own thing completely. As of now it's being shifted into more and more of a very poorly thought out copy of fantasy. Which begs the question, why play the cheap copy when the original is right there. This is both in terms of the wordbuilding (Fantasy) and the gameplay (40k). AoS seems like a watered down copy of both in those two aspects in 4e. It does not bode well for the health of the game long term.

>>96783022
You can't seriously be saying that turning FS into normal dwarves would be watering them down. FS are based entirely on a single unit type from Fantasy with basically nothing else in their entire range. FS are watered down WHFB dwarves. Turning them into normal dwarves would mean you would have greater variety in models and types of units, which the faction desperately needs.

>>
>>96783457
You already have rebranded dwarfs in TOW. In all their glory. If you want to play generic dwarfs go there. AoS is for more fantastical concepts not hand me down armies from TOW.
>>
>>96783227
As someone who never played ToW, even before it was first removed, I was shocked to learn that they actually pick individual items even for basic battleline not to mention how much they can customize heroes. It feels like AoS is supposed to be the simpler mass appeal game whereas ToW is more of a gritty wargame for veterans who want more complexity.
>>
Does anyone have an idea of what the aesthetic influences on any of the factions are? Like the lizards are extremely obvious and always have been, but what about Lumineth, CoS, Deathrattles, Helsmiths, etc. I think the Deathrattles are some combination of Slavic and Middle Eastern armors but I'm not sure.

Lumineth are very obviously classical Greco aesthetics amplified. Helsmiths are just a mess because they used to be Babylonian inspired but now it's a really bad mix of babylonian aesthetics crossed with art deco. Just awful.

AOS is still very much its own thing, dwarves trying to revive one of their dead gods is pretty unique to the setting, ultimately we just have to wait to see what the new face of duardin will be, before a judgment can really be allocated.
>gameplay
I genuinely think the games better to actually play a game with its core rules than 40k by a LOOOOOOOOONG fucking shot, I gave up 40k somewhere just after pariah nexus and realized that the game is completely at odds with itself. The books that some armies get in 40k, I will admit, do attract more curiosity than I have for some armies in 4th, they do also have the issue of being an issue later down the line but thats another conversation of long-term balance.
Also broken coast is better than crusade, immensely so
>>96783227
I wouldn't want aos to copy off of tow, Maybe it'd be better if they went back to the design philosophy that they had back in 2e, or even 4e 40k, Maybe even took a peak at 3e horus heresy, just a smidge ( im looking at those status here).
>>
>>96783561
I would also like that. Unfortunately I think it's becoming more clear that 40k and AoS being the two " mainline " games of GW are going to continue to be designed in a dumbed down board gamey manner. In order to have larger mass appeal. On the flipside. TOW and HH are also considered two of their four pillars (as stated in their investor reports) and are there to capture both the older Warhammer gamer who wants more complex and interesting rules and the newer players who want something closer to a simulation of a battle vs a board game. I am not denigrating 40k or AoS by saying it's being board gamified either. I think in terms of the goals of GW (mass appeal) it's much smarter than making the rules more complex. Especially when you already have both a Sci Fi and Fantasy game system from GW if you want more complexity than AoS and 40k offer.

>First off, let me be real with you - these are fundamentally different beasts, and the "best" one really depends on what kind of masochistic hobby commitment you're willing to make and what actually gets your blood pumping.

>Age of Sigmar is the main event, the big daddy of fantasy Warhammer right now. It's what replaced the Old World after Games Workshop literally blew up the entire setting in the End Times (still controversial, people are STILL mad about this). AoS has evolved tremendously since its rocky 2015 launch. The current edition is actually pretty damn good - it's streamlined, the setting has found its identity with these vast cosmic realms, and there's a huge model range. BUT, and this is a big but, you're looking at potentially thousands of dollars for a full army, significant painting time, and games that can take 2-3 hours. The community is large though, so finding games is usually easy.

>The Old World is pure nostalgia bait - and I mean that in the best way possible. It's literally Games Workshop going "okay, okay, we hear you" to all the grognards who've been complaining about AoS for a decade. It's set during the period before the world exploded, with rank-and-flank regiment-based warfare. The models are gorgeous, the rules are crunchy and detailed, but here's the thing: the barrier to entry is BRUTAL. You need even more models than AoS, movement trays, and the rules complexity is significantly higher. This is for people who want to relive or experience Warhammer Fantasy Battles as it was meant to be - glorious, expensive, and time-consuming.

uh....maybe gilgamesh(place holder name) was one of Hashuts favored sons? And valaya accidentally pinned Hashut to kill him? Because she feels bad she gives a blessing to hel smiths for more fertility, leading to smiths being more favorable to her?
Enkidu(another placeholder name) in the aftermath, sees the death of Gilgamesh (how the fuck do I adapt these names to be more dwarvish fucking damn), goes the opposite end of what gilgmesh in the myth did, and worships power, who in his eyes, is the bull.

I had an idea for a BoC warband before they were squatted based on the gilgamesh enkidu story (well, mostly enkidu). Long story short a herd besieges a slaaneshi city, who keep sending gifts to the besieging beasts. They eventually succumb to the luxury of civilization; they oil and perfume their fur, bedeck themselves in jewels and trinkets, pride themselves on the finest weapons. They hate themselves for it inside of course, in true slaaneshi fashion. They now serve as the protectors of the city, which takes the place of Shamhat in the story. Might revisit the concept for a slaaneshi spearhead or something, using beastmen models.

Valaya doesn't feel very ishtary to me. Valaya is more like homely housewife hera than secuding aphrodite ishtar. Isn't her whole thing with gilgamesg that he turned her down and it led to the death of enkidu? If anything it seems like hashut cared about valaya, she was the one that managed to mediate between him and grungni/grimnir when the realms were allotted and he got ghur. Idk combining the ancestor gods with sumerian myth is kinda tricky, since you're just trying to mesh two sets of pre-exisiting characters.

Canada. When you take into account the exchange rate and how shit weak our dollar is we actually pay way less for Warhammer than Americans across the board. In HH and TOW it’s even cheaper because a regular TOW/HH box costs $100 for a 20-40 man unit in Canada and $100 in the US. So we are straight up paying like 30% less than Americans just due to currency.
>>
>>96784380
The game should have some degree of granularity and customization to it. You have characters? You should be able to outfit them with traits and artifacts and a selection of spells if they're a wizard. Your army should have some sort of unique attribute based on what Realm they're from. Frankly when I look at the rules I'm just fucking bored by them. A couple of spells for your army plus the whopping ONE any individual wizard gets, even the likes of Nagash and Kroak.

>Even so, wherever you live you can 100% order online from an LGS in your country and save 15-20%

Unfortunately you can’t. GW makes retailers sign agreements that limited their shipping options to domestic only. If they didn’t the entire world would probably order from Wayland in the UK as they have the highest standards discounts. That being said, literally just google American stores, read some reviews and order. It’s not rare for an LGS to offer 15% off in my experience.

I'm in western europe and I'm in the same boat. Alll physical stores I've been to (around 5) sell at gw webstore prices (although one is 99% card games and seemingly hasn't realized there's been a price hike yet lol). That being said there's a few online retailers around that do offer pretty nice discounts, even when accounting for possible shipping costs.

I don’t really care about balance desu. Necromunda seems like a game built for narrative players. You’d have to be a massive faggot to try and power game that style of game.
>>
>>96784586
Powergamers are the biggest fags in any setting. If you don't prioritize having a cool or thematic army and instead just run the top meta picks you're bitchmade and deserve to be the paypiggy GW treats you as.
This new era of GW making the whole game to cater to tournyfags is the worst.
>>
>>96784620
Tourneyfags will unironically be the death of age of sigmar. 4e is their edition, and the rest of us suffer bland and boring gameplay because of it.
>>
>>96784620
>>96784625
What's the point of appealing to tourneyfags anyway? Are they really such huge spenders that GW prefers to cater to them instead of casuals that make up the vast majority of their customers?
>>
>>96784625
Every hardcore metafagging player I've heard talk about 4E have said they preferred older editions and wanted more complexity put in with stuff like TOW has. The feeling I get is they wanted to change things up for new people, unfortunately new people don't get into these games because of rulesets, they get into them because of cool characters and models.
>>
>>96784634
I imagine it's about trying to create more WAACfags by turning them into tournyfags. WAACfags are the type to buy any model in as much quantity as they need to make the strongest army possible. WHich means whenever something new comes out that has busted rules, they'll buy as many as they can field. So by trying to turn the game into a tournament friendly state where there's not much exploitable and everything is largely the same kinds of +1 whatever buffs, they make people buy more of whatever is new and strong.
At least that's my hypothesis.
>>
>>96784634
>Are they really such huge spenders that GW prefers to cater to them instead of casuals that make up the vast majority of their customers?
Yes. They are immensely more lucrative. Notice how GW keeps talking about balance balance balance in 40k? Do you know why they never achieve balance despite it being all they talk about in terms of game design? Because they don't want balance. They want an ever shifting meta. Why? Because tournament fags will spends thousands of dollars every few months to tune their armies back into meta lists when the balance slate hits.

Casuals buy an army, paint it and play with it for years. Meta fags will effectively buy a new army every few months to stay competitive. All by design. This is the future of AoS as one of the two mainline games.
>>
>>96784625
Like >>96784646 said gw is trying to appeal to what they THINK tourney players like, not necessarily what they actually like. In my experience tourneys really aren't as waacy as you'd expect (then again I've only gone to local smaller ones). People aren't really trying to win no matter what, they're trying to win with their specific army. Tourney players like choice, they like options, they want to feel like their list building matters like anybody else.
>>
>>96784601
>>96784620

That's the problem. Some people can't divorce it and still build to power game. My group only has one guy who is kind of a bit power gamey but besides him, everyone else has good self control. Playing the gang to the theme is also great fun. Weirdly I seem to have better results using the worst units/weapons rather than more optimal loadouts.

>>96784625
This is something I have not enjoyed about 4th, it feels too soulless, I want more character to armies and unique skills and less balance. I love Warcry too and with that the random missions are sometimes disgustingly unbalanced, but, it's more fun.

>>96784634
I assume so. It's sad. But like >>96784654 said, they will buy whatever is strongest. The rest of us buy an army because it's cool and play it no matter how good or bad it is.
>>
>>96784654
I don't know about older AOS, but I've perused 8th 40k rules and units and, at least from a customization POV, it was peak. Lots of psychic disciplines to choose from, plenty of artifacts to customize your generic character units, actual weapon options for squads. That's the kind of shit I want to see in AOS instead of the boring streamlined bullshit it is right now.
Bring back full magic lores and choices for your wizards to take x amount of spells, bring back your realm of origin actually doing something for your army, give enough different artifacts that you can actually make a potentially interesting hero build, and for the love of god let traits do something other than fucking rerolls or give a ward save. Give some bonus movement, summon a new unit, drop a comet with a blast plate onto the field. Make the game interesting and fun and not just "hold objectives".
>>

This is something I absolutely hate about the current edition. They made wizards mandatory but it completely takes me out of it that every fucking podunk warband has a pocket wizard or fucking Kroak with them. How the hell does that make sense. Just let me make thematic lists, just copy Middle Earth Strategy Battle and let Heroes have a resist magic roll so that not every list has a theme breaking wizard in the middle of it at every points size.

>>96784747
When I see and think of a war game, I think "what would the actual objectives of these armies be?". Most of the time it should be to rout the enemy from the field. Which should always be an option for units to lose morale and flee the field. In the context of a Fantasy game like this, there's tons of room for army objectives. E.g. Seraphon vs STD
>Old One artifact on a hill that can be used to seal a Chaos rift, Seraphon want to get there and use it
>Ancient Chaos portal across the way that can flood the realm with daemons, STD want to open it
So you have different objectives with potentially different effects if they are reached, with the Old One thing nuking the portal and everything around it and the portal summoning a new unit of daemons or a greater daemon each turn it's active. Is it perfectly balanced? No. But it does give players some choice in how to pursue their games and throws some interesting effects in for meeting or denying objectives.
And yes, I do think GW should be using blast templates for big magic and artillery. Getting rid of them in 40k was a mistake and they would do well here.

dunno who the fuck duncan is but it's true they are controversial. Mostly I think it's a lot of Chorf die hards who don't like them as much as the classic chaos dwarfs, which is fair. I slightly prefer the old hats mainly but I think they did a good job with a lot of the new stuff, especially honing in on the stone aids curse stuff. A guy with a stone back or half stone face is much more interesting than someone like Astrogoth ironhand who's just disabled and needs robo legs to walk

Mmm as someone relatively new to warhammer this feel too.... generically chaos-y. Like he can be mistaken for khorne or undivided.

There is a chance, a very small chance, that they might make another separate spearhead that’s different from the army set. I have no evidence to back this theory up however. Either way a discount is a Discount.

This was a deliberate thing back in Fantasy. In-universe it was acknowledged that depictions of Hashut resembled Juggernauts somewhat and it was theorized that the gods may be connected. One of the old Hashut symbols was even a weird ersatz Khorne symbol.

The worst part is that the core rules re write of 4.0 is literally the best the AoS CORE rules have ever been, and you could do some fucking zanny rules shit since the timing of all the abilities is now very clear (if I'm active I do all my shit first then you do all of yours).
Instead of using this opportunity, they gave use shit choices for all the rules customization choices, and now make us pay points for the one NON SHIT option they happened to write. The 'one special rule' per warscrolls idea was also trash (and isn't even strictly followed).

whatevers on the horizon for fyreslayers would have been in development for years before the first sales numbers from old world ever rolled in.

its true fyreslayers arent popular, but i'd wager that has more to do with them basically not supporting the army with new models or units for 10 years straight, and their entire range consisting of only a few foot infantry kits and a single monster hero kit, and a smattering of token foot heroes.

now in my opinion, as someone who collects fyreslayers, foot heroes are the soul of the army so that isnt a bad thing. if i had my way the army would have a similar setup to that khorne army of renown where all the heroes get like a 4+ ward or whatetever. but thats beside the point. people probably would have bought if over the years they got a cavalry unit, maybe another monster or two, some kind of flying/leaping/lavasurfing jump unit or something

just anything with a bit more interest than basic foot guy with an axe in a walking pose. i dont think you need to ditch the naked berzerker aesthetic to accomplish that, and lumping in dispossessed just puts a flat tire in the whole armies design, ESPECIALLY if that new hero from darkwater is any indication of the direction. HOLY FUCK IS THAT GUY BORING

Some guy in my area posted some pics of his collection of 9 armies including like 10 imperial knights models. I assume much like gacha or card games, Some people are just whales with more money than sense and buy more shit than they can reasonably paint or play with.

its hard to say because according to the leakers they actually had to scrap their entire 3e dwarf plotline involving the ancestor gods, the white dwarf, and reuniting the dispossessed clans after old world took back the dispossessed dwarf range.

What? No? Fyreslayers believe grimnir will return when they’ve used up all the ur-gold to free his essence trapped within it, and that he’ll bring their dead back with him for some ragnarok style thing, probably because all fyreslayers become a part of grimnir by letting his essence free through their bodies. Those that go mad from glimmerlust often hallucinate themselves being grimnir, melding their surroundings with half-formed memories that may or may not be his

The problem with Fyreslayers is, when your whole faction is angry barbarian dwarves with mohawks and tongs, it gets old and repetitive very fast.
Kharadrons work because they have guns, harpoons, swords, maces, anchors, flying ships, bombs, etc. GW dont even tried with Fyreslayers. Where are the flying units of drakes spiting fire from above? siege weapons? or Avatar of the Grimnir? or a hero mounting an elemental-whatever into combat? The only unique model is the runfather/runesmith/runeson in Magmadroth. Someone use the Vulkites with shield?

>It's been 10 years and they're obviously run out of ideas at this point
They’ve gotten 1 new kit that isn’t a clone foot hero, and everyone fucking loved it. People are constantly reinventing the same dozen ideas whenever they wishlist for the army. There is plenty of obvious directions, they’ve simply recieved no support, this is like saying the same thing about Idoneth and deciding they should merge with (insert elf faction here).

>>96785399
This hits the nail on the head, people like Fyreslayers as a concept, they just want more shit for them. Lots of foot heroes is fine and sort of what their fantasy is (except for 4e refusing to let you just go herohammer). No one who likes them or will actually buy them wants dwarf warrior 2.0 arbitrarily yanked out of being a core part of Cities to go shitting up their range.

Wow this thread sure went to shit.
So anyways I think Stormcasts should have primarch-adjacent figures, one for each realm except Azyr. This way each realm's golden boys (gender neutral) could have something sorta... spicing them up. Like how in 40k chapters have gene flaws or quirks or preferred fighting styles and their successors play with these in different ways. Maybe, idk, "forge flaws", like how sometimes when forging a weapon or armor the metal is flawed or impure, SCE from different realms could have something about them that makes them slightly off from baseline azyrite Eternals. Like Ghyran ones are excellent navigators but can be overly attached to mortal things or Shyish ones are cold and emotionless but built sturdier.

having basically the same lore as chorfs, Helsmiths forge machines and lock demons in them. It's not like how 40k demon engines are corruptions of chaos, chorfs are carefully forging these things.
