People like you are so fucking annoying because you live in an uninformed pocket of anti-reality, making brainheaded impossible observations.

GW kits are designed multiple years in advance of release. They go into physical production like ~1 year before release. These are reality.

If "the design direction has shifted for TOW" that shift occurred literally years ago. BEFORE ANY OF THE PRODUCTS YOU'RE COMPARING THE MARAUDERS TO EVEN RELEASED.

Get a brain, moran.

they should just make it fantasy Spain, give them a strong centralised goverment but have them all hate eachother. Then give them pikes and less guns to differentiate them from the empire.

desu they could work as their own list but not their own army and I dont believe GW capable of making a Tercio kit.

You act like designing a kit is a Manhattan Project level undertaking. You could turn around kits in a month. It’s also been almost 2 years since TOW launched. Completely possible that the foot knights they designed 5+ years ago were done with a different vision in mind that they had 1-2 years ago.

You’re both retarded. With those minis there’s nothing to be done, cant stick animal bits onto them to represent their primal chaos gods, or kitbash their weapons, or turn them into something entirely different like forsaken. It’s one thing if they were keeping the current marauders but they’re replacing them with some Adidas project instead, which is fucked.
I guarantee you that they’re gonna push these Marauders to completely outclass the current chaos warriors so that people can sideline them entirely, and change the factions identity with something more trade marketable, and if they do that with chaos, the most imaginative faction in the setting, it’s not long for the rest to follow suit.

You could "turn kits around in a month" if your task was to take a company with GW's capacity from an improbable static posture to producing a single kit.

You cannot turn kits around in a month when they're part of a massive company that's working on 100 kits simultaneously that are slotted into production and release order for the next five years with the potential involvement of overseas partners for printing, packaging materials etc.

You have a very jobless opinion. Could they hypothetically intrude on their rigorously planned release order to make arbitrary changes? Sure. Do they? Fuck no, not unless something has gone very wrong. We actually just saw a rare example of this with them recalling a Necromunda product (and we will see how long it takes to get the replacements produced and what changes about the product/packaging).

Don’t get me wrong the marauders are great but I really want to see the mammoth. Earlier people were discussing a marauder chieftain sculpt. My theory is that the Mammoth kit is going to come with the option to build a mounted chieftain riding a Mammoth that comes with the option to assemble him on foot. Like the necrosphinx kit that lets you build a foot slogging king.
>>
>>96801266
I mean I was using that as an extreme contrasting example. I wasn’t saying that the turnaround for a kit is 1 month. I think your estimates of 2+ years for kits is simply too far of an extreme on the other end.

>>96801392
It's not an estimate, it's the informed conclusion the most checked-in participants of the hobby have reached (from a combination of sources, the most important of which are ex-GW employees who have done interviews on youtube and in print).

One of the most telling pieces of evidence is something you can on occasion confirm for yourself -- when you buy a brand new kit, look at the year stamped on the sprue. Oftentimes it'll be the previous year (or even 2 years earlier) meaning that the sprues were physically produced up to a year before the actual release.
>>
>>96800731
They better not touch black orcs, those sculpts are perfect.
>no verification required

>>96801405
I am certain a mammoth is coming. The rumour said marauders+mammoth. If you don’t value rumours, today on the Old World Facebook page under the announcement post a guy asked about Mammoths and they said “ possibly in the future “ as a response. The official account responding in the positive is basically a confirmation. It’s when and not if. Check out the Facebook announcement yourself if you don’t believe me.

How do people defend female minis at this point? We finally get a kit that's all male and it looks better than anything GW has released in a while. No one looks at a female marauder, chaos warrior, bretonnian, cathayan, whatever and thinks it looks capable or badass. Plus the people who actually want them are always really embarrassing and cringe coomers, really awkward people that you can't bring anywhere.

The only female minis that are good are the ones that make sense like elves, mages, maybe artillery crew like cathay has. Frontline non-elf fighters though nah thats shite

I think Frydaal looks pretty good. Reminds me of Justine from Gotrek and Felix. The problem with AoS models isn’t that there are women, it’s that they are half women, half black,have HR haircuts and are fat.
>>
>>96801607
Is issue isn’t female minis, the issue is buck ugly sculpts
>>
>>96801607
You're male and you're not capable or badass.

I look at the ugly inbred woman you posted and think "cool model for the inbred uglies army."

There are like 6 or 7 women models in the Slaves to Darkness range and 50 or 60 male models. You're a weak guy, obsessed.
>>
>>96801719
nta, but lel. Untrained, weak men demolish trained women in nearly anything physical. Unless they're chaos mutated or magical, women do not belong on the battlefield.
>>
>>96801741
This is why I like Frydaal too. Seeing regular human women are frontline CC soldiers is jarring. Having a woman who has been granted chaos gifts as a leader/great warrior is plausible and doesn’t require suspension of disbelief. It’s about the logical consistency within the world.
>>
>>96801741
Wouldn’t that make more sense why they’re chaff

>>96801206
Chaos warriors have already been sidelined, anon. Go look at the lists people bring to tournaments. Nary a warrior to be seen! But forsaken and dragons and gigantic chaos spawn, oh my! It's a shame, really. I love my warriors, I really do. I wish they were good, but they just aren't.

Question, getting my first OW game in soon, and need to know something before I finalize my list. Does a unit fleeing because of Terror trigger panic tests for units within 6”, like if they lost combat?
My opponent is bringing a Chaos Lord on Dragon and I don’t want to auto-lose with Yeoman Guard fleeing and breaking everyone around them besides Knights.
>>
>>96801741
That's weak man cope lol

I'm not gonna go through the Darkoath units exhaustively, but at a cursory glace:

- 2 of the women models are standard bearers (the most protected position in a unit)
- 1 is a horse archer (a role that depends on skill over strength)
- 1 uses a spear (a weapon that overcomes mismatches in strength)
- 1 or 2 are leader models that probably have chaotic blessings

That leaves only 2-3 that "don't make sense" (and those still make sense if you go to the effort of imagining them as trained and skilled anomalies)
>>
>>96801788
As already presented to you, fewer than 10 out of 60 models in the specific range being discussed are women.
>>
I’m convinced this dude is false flagging for yous
>>
That marauder cav is wild. And I like the current marauder cav a lot. The old foot marauders are probably the sculpt that shows its age the most in any game system other than catachans in 40k, great call to refresh them. I am also hyped for learning about how they worship in Norsca.

>Sure, but it still makes no sense

>women aren't just weaker, they are slower, smaller, lighter and less coordinated

I don't know what we're arguing about here. Women are inferior to men in combat, that doesn't mean I hate them. They just don't belong in a game that's simulating war unless there are fantastic circumstances.
>>96801852
Refer to first reply. It's fine if it's justified, but there's a fine line between including exceptional women and just shoving them in for politics or diversity. Every woman that's put in has to be fantastical, and that makes it both harder to suspend disbelief and takes away from those that are blessed by chaos or the winds of magic.

I guess you have your horsemen. Unless they removed the weapon options from them?
>>
>>96803054
>why did GW not give WoC marauders ranged weapons!!!!?!!?!
How new are you that you’re even asking such a silly question? That’s like one of the WoC core aspects, no ranged outside magic (and the hellcannon but even that is a mercenary weapon made and crewed by dwarfs)
>>
If they do actually give Chaos infantry range like in twwh then >>96801206 is onto something.
>>
>>96803063
Nah marauder horse have option to buy javelins or throwing axes.
>>
>>96802316
Haven't looked into TOW since before Cathay released. What makes the lanterns so good you can't win without them?
>>
>>96803068
They didn’t give WoC ranged weapon infantry they gave javelin throwing infantry to Norsca.

are you playing with objectives? jade warrior should be able to hold them against shooting.
play the sentinel as granite.
you can hide the shugengan behind your infantry since its not a large target.
>>
>>96803066
I know this, but that doesn't make it any less stupid. Javelins would be so goddamn perfect here. Trying to pretend that just not letting certain factions use an entire phase of the game is somehow thematic is moronic. There is literally no reason they wouldn't have bows.
>>
>>96803054
Arent they just updated marauder models? Not a new army.
>>
>>96803109
Norsca might slowly end up becoming the face of Chaos (warriors). we dont really know.
>>
>>96803109
They are literally just updated marauders
>>96803113 is perrynigger most likely trying to demoralize. He’s the one who brought up this “ theory “ in the last thread and has been bringing it up since then as if others have said anything about it.
>>
>>96803109
That's fair, though I had the same reaction for Darkoath. It's pretty funny to me that in the vidya, companies have to make up units to round out rosters and make factions playable, but GW themselves just won't for some reason. Obviously, everyone doesn't need to have everything, but just arbitrarily deciding that WoC don't get to throw shit will never not be dumb.
>>
I like the old night goblins so I will add a box to my to-do pile in case they get replaced.
>>
>>96803126
It’s not arbitrary it’s a conscious design choice they stuck with. It’s what keeps armies varied and interesting. No one would play or care if every army was able to do everything equally well. It’s an asymmetrical game by design.
>>
>>96803137
Good job ignoring half my post. It is arbitrary. I'm not saying I want them to get a full artillery battery, or even that I want chaos warriors to do much at a distance. But the goddamn marauders should get shitty bows at least.
>>
>>96803156
whats next, we give green skins gunpowder units?
>>
>>96803165
No, the next thing is another irrelevant fallacy that refuses to engage with my actual point.
>>
>>96803156
Nah bows don’t fit their aesthetic or theme at all. Javelins I could understand because you have the image of them hunting mammoths for meat throwing javelins but bows don’t fit.

You probably aren’t aware but using a bow in an arctic environment is extremely difficult. Borderline impossible for primitive bows made of natural components that stiffen and freeze over. Javelins make sense for an arctic environment like they live in. Bows don’t.
>>
>>96803137
couldn't you ally ungor bowmen?
>>
>>96803179
Yes you can
>>
>>96803176
Yeah, I was thinking of the old marauders when I said bows, because yeah, chaos marauders used to have bows. But I agree, javelins feel best.
>>
>>96803196
Throwing axes would also fit their Viking aesthetic but a 9 inch ranged weapon is basically useless on infantry
>>
>>96803210
I mean, realistically they were a line destabilizing weapon. You could have them get the throw off right before a charge. That would be thematic and fun, so never ever.

Cool or silly undead army idea: Frankenstein-themed zombie army

Necromancer riding a big rotting rat with bat wings grafted on. His cloak is man of skins stitched together (like the one on the 40k haemonculus)

Instead of crypt horrors, big frankenstein zombies with several bodies merged together crudely with implements for hands

Lots of zombies for baseline troops, some converted to be amalgams of parts stitched together.

Banners would feature lightning motifs striking a zombified head with bolts at the neck, and glowing eyes

Corpse carts would feature necromantic acolytes with butcher cleavers and lots of surgical looking implements on their waist
>>
>>96803547
>Frankenstein-themed
>doesn't have a Frankenstein
>>
>>96803547
too silly, even for AoS, imo
>>
>>96803553
Dr Frankenstein is the head necromancer
>>
>>96800685
They're literally just empire with Morion hats and perhaps more involvement with Araby and the New World

You could do an Estalian army right now by kitbashing WGA conquistadors with Empire kits if you wanted a shortcut
>>
>>96803579
But no Frankenstein's monster? You could easily make it work with a Strigoi Ghoul King
>>
>>96803607
>kitbashing WGA conquistadors with Empire kits if you wanted a shortcut
Wouldn't work. The WGA kit is not heroic scale.
>>
>>96803547
Frankenstein kind of is a necromancer archetype. Sounds very on brand to me. Plus there are tons of really cool minis from all sorts of different companies and genres for undead horrors to proxy pretty much anything you could include in an army like that.
Sounds like a great army concept.

You're a bit stupid

Where female warriors existed as a trope, the fact that they were female was the unique thematic element - amazons, scythians, valkyries etc. - the stand out, unique thing was precisely the fact that they were fighting-women, in a man's domain (war). Take for example the Sisters of Sigmar, or Amazons in Lustria, or Valkia the Bloody for old GW examples

Modern GWs idea of female warriors is to pretend there is no difference between men and women, women should occupy any possible position in a a factions army at random and basically to gaslight you until Karl Franz himself is a black woman

If you can't tell the difference between the two approaches you are a certified smoothbrain mcsmoothy

depending on how hard you go on the electric elements, it fits aos more than whfb

otherwise you have to bend backwards a little bit to make this faction somehow connected with the other electric frankenstein subfaction that already exists in the setting
>>
>>96803135
Of all the old plastic kits, I think the Night Goblins are probably on the safer end, GW replacing TK skeletons or Slayers are more likely than Night Goblins
>>
>>96800657
I would love for them to do some genuine old world chorfs

The new ones from AoS are convertible but it's a still fair bit of effort to get a modernised version of the traditional bighats

I'll probably use the hobgrots tho for hobgoblins and shave off the armour bits

Im happy for the new marauder kit but I might alos use the old one with some conversions for model variety. I hope they do Kislev soon. Purely so I can run them as traitor Kislev and use the models for more marauders.

Ironically Chaos Warriors would make some of the greatest bowmen in the whole world, simply because since they are so much stronger than most other races they could take bows with heavier draw strengths, and fire stronger arrows.
Add the fact that they could have ensorcelled bows, and each Chaos Warrior with a bow could be the equivalent of a walking scorpio.

>>
>>96804005

I think it's hard to use bows while wearing a plate harness with such massive pauldrons, but you are correct when you say that they are fine physical specimens for archers.
>>
>>96804005
This is fucking retarded
>>
>>96804005
Chaos is all about raw power, brutality, and proving your supremacy over your enemy to the dark gods. Hard to convey that with a bow and arrow. At most they should have throwing axes and javelins.
