Dunking on AoSissys
When I got burnt out on 40K, I bought into AOS with the idea that it was GW's main fantasy game. Dunk on me if you like but I legit feel I was scammed by GW. First Cathay, now this. Once again the incel neckbeard game no one under 40 plays gets more releases and AOS players get scraps. FML.
>>96795873more busy looking 32mm slopill stick to my mark copplestone fantasy wariors range of minis ty
Are they trying to remove the chaos from the old world chaos range? They dont strike me as potential god marked mortals, but just as norscans, which to me is boring as hell. I much prefer Kairic Acolytes to those, even if they're just one aspect of the chaos gods.
>>96795873These look like a real nightmare to paint.
>>96795972>getting burnt on GW>invests more on GWYou were the fool in this scenario.
>>96795873Cool cool, happy for your new models, man
>>96795873these fuckers are going on round basesbit too busy but otherwise nice minis
>>96795873>literally just 32mm age of sigmar looking models on squaresis this what old world fags really want?
>>96796160If you look at the TOW Facebook group there's tons of retards putting the oversized AOS guys on square bases.
>>96796160No. I wanted GW to re-open their mail order catalogue and allow us to purchase all the old metal models they used to make.GW did not comply with my demands.
>>96796160>age of sigmar models on squaresyou'd be surprised
>>96795972TOW has 1 big release in a whole year, and you cry AoS gets only crumbs? Please, we had HoH big release, 3 models for KO, 3 models for IDK and more.
>>96795873Just bought a set of the old ones, the conversion potential for particularly savage Chaos Space Marines is too good to pass up
>>96796369Yeah i doubt the new one will provide many Kitbash options, but I guess Cathay was alright in that regard with some clear exceptions
Where are the black women chaos marauders?
>>96796400Not black but here you go.
>>96796160No such thing as "Age of Sigmar looking models" except to newlets and brainlets.There are only "2015 to 2020 Games Workshop looking models". The reason AoS looks different to you is that the bulk of WHFB models were from the pre-digital sculpting era. But all digitally-sculpted models are done in the house style, be they from 40K, AoS or WHFB*. If WHFB hadn't been slain off its models would have looked the same way AoS and 40K evolved into looking.*which includes the final years of WHFB models, see the Hurricanum or Verminlord or whatever else for evidence
>>967964262015-2025, not 2015-2020
>>96796426end times/8th were proto aos
WHFgods... I thought you were just going to get some goofy chinese models and be forgotten... I fucking kneel...
>>96795873>no womens>no blacks>all scandanavian looking chads>even a fucking redheadTOW can't stop winning
>>96796063You're a faggot.
>>96796590>no blacks
>>96796441That just so happens to perfectly coincide with the advent of digital sculpting at GW (begun in the late aughts, and manifested as actual products by the time of Island of Blood and Dark Vengeance starter sets)?Also 40K has the exact same design aesthetic as AoS.
>>96796731No u
>>96796753The Blackfinder General has arrived.
>>96796753Damn they really tried to sneak one in the back
>>96795873
>>96796799look again.
>>96796753That's ashen skin, like the standard bearer.Nice try, AoS-piggy. Go back to your fat women.
>>96796906Ashen? Is that what you're gonna call your newborn?
>>96796160>meanwhile, the actual age of sigmar models:
>>96796932The aos banner is cooler than the tow one at least
>>96796932why do they keep modeling the chain hanging from their crotch?
>>96796940lol no, It's not even a banner and nothing can ever beat flayed skin with chaos rune.
People always HATED these models - I've heard grievances ever since the 2010s or even earlier.People say that these look dated, stupid, goofy and too bulky.Maybe it's because I started with painting Greenskins, but I always liked them instead.I was always in the minority.
>>96796913It's the same tone at this guy >>96796932Try again siggie piggie
Question to those experts that can judge every size /dimension with your eyes: would new Marauders fit on 25mm bases (I wonna get them for mini agnostic skirmish games) or do I need those weird 28,5mm ones?
>>96797015absolutely not.
>TOW marauders>all white european men>AOS marauders>fat black womenGW has to know what they're doing here, right? Is it wise for them to be setting up a chud vs. woke war within their own company?
>>96797005It's weird and I don't know exactly how to put it, but I actually think the sculpting on the guys in the OP is lazier even if it's technically better than these guys. The chieftain of this kit has a really great look, there's a cool daemonsword with it, etc. The guys in the OP look... fine, but you can definitely see they were all run off some computer file with marginal changes.
>>96797034Here: I'll use nu-speak to describe it so it can't be attributed to nostalgia goggles:there is such a thing as designing for modularity.Games Workshop used to make the best models in the world.>the best models of orcs and dragons?Yes, but also, the best models of arms, the best models of torsos, the best models of heads. the best models of weapons.They lost that primacy: now they are no longer the best in the world at making arms, torsos, heads and weapons.So it's not all nostalgia, there was lost ground, there were steps backwards.
>>96796949Its to protect your benis from chaos-cockbiters that live in the northern wastes
>>96797064No matter how shit gw releases are whenever I take a peek at their major "competitors" it's somehow against all odds even worse. Mantic's new not-cathay being a prime example
>>96795873haven't been on tg in quite a while, in fact since before ToW dropped but I just dropped by to tell you this looks like garbage, just some plastic norsemen wow>>96796063and this looks like garbage too, wow 25 of the same dude so chaotic
>>96796160>age of sigmar looking models>wears actual various clothes instead of same slim or angular army and generic pajam under>age of sigmar looking
>>96796400They are their, they are just trans
Well I like 'em.
>>96795873Unironically, congart monkey, you've made it and made it magnificent.
>>96796932>Age of Slagmar
>>96796353Cathay was what? 2-3 months ago?
>>96796063These just look like faggot body builders, they're not Chaos at all.
>>96796932Excuse my ignorance, but what the fuck are these weird cyclops skulls supposed to be?
>>96795873How can the empire even compete
>>96797005>>96797034Any kit that has totally separate legs, arms etc is a precious commodity these days. Your bitzbox deserves this kit, for your future Traitor Guard project if nothing else.
>>96796063>but just as norscans, which to me is boring as hell.but enough about how you have no taste
>>96795873How is this dunking? This is GW saying only whitey can be evil
>>96798440weird cyclops skulls, presumably
>>96798440Plaguebearers?
>>96798440You mean the ones with the rope through the eyes?
>>96798427They're ripped in a way that makes them grotesque, yes, exactly that. The symbology they all carry from the moon helmets, the clearly evil weapons, and the shields give them flavor. At worst its a perfect kit for forsaken with some kitbashing for some personalization, which is what I used for my chaos warrior army. I cant see what the fuck I can do with the new marauders, they're just norscans. I dont even know why so many of them have tusks on them, they could have played with their faith of the different animals like tww but they're just leaving it as some transfer sheet for the lazy flayed banner. >>96798655Hey man, I like chaos more than humans, and generally I could put more passion into the old barbarians than these. But I do like Norsca, just, not enough to actually make an army of them. Even more so if they're riddled with as much detail as they are for chaff (no seriously, there are like 5 layers on one single model, this isnt as bad as gene stealer cults but good lord its nearly fucking there)
>>96796063gay as hell
>>96798878No U!
>>96798878How are they gay, they’remostly white & muscular. /wfg says that’s what you need to be a good model.
>>96798949Its probably because they lack women
>>96798795Oh, I see it now...
>>96795873Ummm where are the women of color?These white males are very problematic
So are the old horsemen and foot marauders being retired again after coming back?
>>96799426Yes.
If I have a complain it's that they look too busy, especially the horses.
>>96798949>white and muscularMy kinda guys~
>>96799426being retired
I just hope they don't mog the chaos warrior sculpts but I have a feeling they will or at least be the same size
>>96798641Bro been serving since the Horus Heresy.
>>96800208That cunt on the left has an arm down to his fucking calf, gotta be part orangutan.
>>96800208what kits are these? This is honestly such a good kitbash
>>96799939“Fleeced ya with the shit old sculpts we phased out of AoS. Buy more cause they’re on 30s now lol”
>>96800238Chaos deadlift specialist
>>96800243Looks like new Cadians, Krieg and Necromunda Eschers.
>>96795873Kit is okay, but you don't look like them OP.
