>>96830994You're 7 years late for that shit take.
Starborne surpremacy
>>96830984I remember this chap liking the taste of old shoes in the short story
Leak more Darkwater.
Considering how excited everyone seems what are some of the other good writers or books for sigmar?
>>96831053*pees blood on you*
>>96831061There was Reynolds, I cant really speak for the rest. Most authors for aos are scatter-shot, people are generally mixed on John French but for some reason hes loved in the 40k sphere so maybe check his cado books.
>>96831053On it
>>96831061Nguyen's chaos book seems to be prettt well received
>>96831061I’m not a big fan of STD but Scourge of Fate and Godeater’s Son are great.
>>96831061If Josh Reynolds, David Guymer or Noah Van Nguyen have their name on the cover you can usually expect that it will, at worst, be an entertaining read. I personally also like CL Werner's output but he's got a few titles I don't much care for. Anna Stephens also got some nice stories to her credit but only a single full-length novel in a collaborative series that seems to have been quietly discontinued.
>>96831043Is this the same dude who went to the Cities of Sigmar fort to read the stars, and his boss thought he was a fuck up?
>>96831155yeah
>>96831053You’re telling me you don’t want drip fed models month on month?
>>96830984>Will the meme of lizardmen being bio-robot finally die this time?It's a meme in the warhammer community, so no, it will be dragged out into the streets until nothing remains. And then people will make copies to do the same with.
So we have a decent idea of what the dorf, ogre and nurgle releases will look like. But what the fuck will picrel get?
>>96831490We BETTER get> archers> Chariot> Generic monster hero> Ballista war machine> Hero liege hero
>>96831490Two guys, one with a sword and the other with a hammer. They're gay in the lore and rub bones when Nagash isn't looking
>>96831490not!ushabti archersa character on a chariotand hopefully a better infantry unit
>>96831490I have a decent wishlist>chariot pulled by a hippopotamus >war elephant >bolt thrower artillery >stormcast/chosen-tier infantry >mortek archers
>>96831490what will sylvaneth / seraphon be getting
>>96831688sylvaneth>kurnouth >kurnothi centaurs >kurnothi fauns>kurnothi centaur hero>kurnothi faun heroseraphon>eternity warden>manifestation (coatl)>saurus guards removed from the tome
>>96831490pity hero
>>96831688Sylvaneth will get nothing because you got the bugs
>>96831688It'd be nice if lizards got skink and temple guard refreshes. To be fair, the skinks still look pretty damn good so I dunno
>>96831715>sylvaneth>>kurnouth>>kurnothi centaurs>>kurnothi fauns>>kurnothi centaur hero>>kurnothi faun heroAwful.>seraphon>>eternity warden>>manifestation (coatl)Breddy kewl.>>saurus guards removed from the tome:^(
>>96831813I just want them to add the seasons and shit back into the rules. Being able to mix and match subfaction rules with seasons felt flavorful and the faction pack completely threw that out the window.
>>96831863If lizards were getting a significant wave of models I imagine their book would have waited for that.
>>96832010Thats a real dumb conclusion to come to.
>>96830984Post lizards
>>96832044Forgot pic
>>96832059
>>96832044Sure. I like that white Carnosaur a lot, anon.
>>96832034Are you saying that because you want a significant wave of models for lizards or because you think there's never an association between novel releases and model releases?
Can you soulbind a skaven and force it to be nice? Can you torture them with kindness?
>>96832127The latter.
>>96832159nono
Thoughts?
>>96832159>can I force water to not be wet?
>>96832208No mages is a vibe. palladors might hard carry you at least.
>>96832159Literally me when approached by a minority
>>96832127>never an association between novel releases and model releasesNta but they have never released a unit to go alongside a book. Maybe a character or two like callis and toll but never ever a standalone unit for one of the flagship games
>>96831490>mortek ranged troops>big ranged guy/guys ( 4 arms! 2 bows! Shoot two niggas once! Shoot one nigga twice! )>a big bone mfI'm hopping pic rel was a one off and we get something a bit different for the base ranged troop. I liked the idea of having very advanced almost modern looking compound bows but even crazier, on dudes with massive arms to account for the draw pull, or hell just give them multiple arms.
>>96832364This won’t happen, GW are utterly opposed to doing anything interesting with the ‘amalgamation of bones’ concept
>>96831004Based. Changing Seraphon visually to be more star child like opens up the door to bring them back into TOW where they can be flesh and blood lizardmen.
>>96832433go back
>>96832364>multiple/bigger arms for bow usersit isn't really part of their aesthetic, but it would have been cool if they had weapons made of bone built into them. Like bone sword arms or a big fang mace or something.
Gitmob would be my favourite army if they were a little humourous outside of the artillery They just seem so boring when you look past the Snarlfang.
>>96832471Don't coddle them. The snarlfangs themselves are also boring.
Now that the dust has settled, why did the HoH flop?
>>96832471I think the wolves being more important than the goblins themselves is funny, but yeah it does lack some more explicit character.
>>96832496I wonder if it's the same fucking autist posting this shit every time
>>96832502It is. I think hes just mad that /twg/ and /wfg/ are both slow rn.
>>96832471Rippa Snarlfang are a good example Half naked and dwarfed by the mount with hodgepodge equipment. That's way more interesting than large boring green Mongolians
>>96832471snarlfang is so weird to me. You already have squiq riders and spider riders which feel much more thematic to gitz but then they also get to ride wolves? I think they would have felt more at home with kruelboyz
>>96832502It isHe keeps using the same file format screenshots of the same third worlder shop app
>>96832496They’re just a worse version of both the old and forge world aesthetics, they just look like angular WOW villains.Also >using your last 20% of battery to post this
>>96832511>You already have... spider riders
If seraphon can get a novel, surely that means tzeentch can get one too right? hahaha...ahhhh...maybe I'd be better off writing one myself.
>>96832502>>96832506>>96832518Lol he stopped posting for a while after some guy downloaded the app and pointed out that on his shitty app the "600 limited sets" includes individual kits and shit. Hilarious that he's back to posting but without the number now lel.
>>96832502DESU that is some next level virgin incel behaviour
Remember Slambo?
Are there gonna be reveals on the tomorrow or do we wait till Nov 5
>>96832587probably not. They'd say when a stream would be/
>>96828512>Lumineth are Greek and ChineseThat's a wild combination. Someone should figure out what culture every faction is derived from. It'd be interesting to know what GW used in making the new Cities aesthetic, Soulblight, Idoneth, and Ossiarchs. What the hell culture are the skeletons from?
>>96832587Nov 5 is Kislev reveal. That's why they rushed the marauders seemingly out of nowhere.
is that listing for game specialist still up for gw? I remember someone talking about it here a couple days ago but it seems to be gone or I just cant find it on their website. Maybe im just not seeing the right corpo lingo.
>>96830984If there's one thing I appreciate AoS for, it's giving the lizards more personality than they had in Fantasy. Sure it's still mostly Skinks doing the interesting stuff since the Saurus are too autistic for personalities and Kroxigors are barely sapient, but it's a good move.
>>96831155Reminds me of that one Skink who was marked albino for greatness and it turned out his great purpose was to kill a whole Chaos horde by getting killed and eaten and poisoning the entire tribe. Mundizuma's Revenge indeed
Speaking of HoHAnybody have suggestions for a good basing scheme for them? I was thinking just crackle paste and paint them like they're on volcanic/scorched earth
On the one hand I wanna go with bedsheets, on the other hand classic skeletons are also neatchoices choices
>>96830984The protagonist is a they? Are stinks genderless?
>>96832698Lizardmen are totally sexless because they are born from magical spawning poolsHumans might call them he or she but they don't themselves have a concept of gender
>>96832675The showcase models have a bit of variety between them.
>banned for wanting greatswords againFuck my chuddy life. Are Ironbreakers worth bringing as an aux unit or should I spend for a hero?
>>96832723Thanks anon, that makes sense
>>96832731Ironbreakers are better in 1.5 but you still probably don't want them over Longbeards.
>>96832675Try rocks and green slime.
>>96832739They are cheaper, but that 4+++ is pretty tempting
>>96832680Skeletons would probably be rather uncomfortable to sleep on, I think bedsheets are common for a reason
>>96832583Yeah what about him. Remember when gw remastered him.
>>96832044This is the only lizard I've done recently. I need a better picture setup.
>>96832811Why leather boots for Chaos Warriors? Why not armored greaves and sabatons?
>>96832624>Cities that's a tough one because really all specific cities have different cultural inspirations, but the blanket for them is based on literal cartoon drawings, they're a parody of a parody. Marginalia is the root inspiration if I really had to say what core thing it is. >Soulblightsomething slavic, someone here is either a nut for soulblight or slavs in general and Ill just leave that to them eventually. >idoneth take your pick between Sea peoples or Atlantis. Ones a concept the other is something I never bothered studying into. >Ossiarchssomething eastern. I'd say persians, but when I see the necropolis stalker I get really fucking annoyed wondering why they have what seems to be an ashura reference. So maybe some Japanese, idk.
>>96832471>if they were a little humourous outside of the artillerytheir chariots crash and burn or burn and crash at a moment's notice because they carry explosive magic on stuff made of woven twigs, and this is a feature, not a bugthe chief's chariot has 2 jars in the back, one with moondust, the other with sun-charged shit, which get released together to react and give the chariot literal rocket boostersthe wolf is the guy in charge, the fat guy is just a patsy that he chooses whenever the last one diesthe bigger wolves have to be ridden in tandem because in order to tame one you need to raise it from when it's a cub and requires 2 parental figures the shaman is a madman on a pole because he thinks that makes him closer to the suntheir average random scrap is polished to absorb, store and unleashe hysh light, which is a trick the lumineth couldn't do until teclis babysat themthey don't follow the sun because they worship it, they want to fucking kill it and steal its shit
I am genuinely confused. I thought the diversity measures were a GW wide thing. Why are Darkoath so diverse while fantasy Darkoath get to all be european/viking. Why the double standards?
>>96830984>another book from perspective of black woman of color from city of sigmar witnessing some seraphonscan't wait
>>96832839It would hurt his soles on the march
>>96832698lizardmen don't reproduce sexually, they spawn fully formed from magical poolstheir language isn't gendered, they have no real concept of sex or gender when it comes to themselves, only for animalsthe skinks try to pick up on the linguistic norms of the other races when they're tasked to interact with them, there's an example of a skink in the rpg that ends up referring to itself as a she simply because the humans around it assumed it was a female because it had the feminine role of taking care of their baby dinosaurs like a mother would
>>96832839They're wearing the leather over the armoured boots.Also it's because boots have a larger footprint, or at least can be modelled as such, contributing to their heavyset silhouette.
>>96832843>So maybe some Japanese, idk.they've got far eastern stuff especially if you look at katakros's bodyguard
>>96832858fuck yo AoS
yeah, maybe. makes me wonder if those rumored bow men ushtabis are gonna be using some kind of heavy bow like what the japanese adopted.
>>96832364
forgot the pic.
LEWD LORE QUESTIONSo Bull Centaurs are all male? It would be interesting if we got a female version of them in future. But male Bull Centaurs are all favored children of Hashut, a god of literal domination. So do Bull Centaurs have sex with normal Chaos Dwarf women? Or are beautiful and tight elf and human female slaves brought to them to satisfy their needs? Maybe even Hedonite women to spice things up?After all, their every desire is tended to in lore.
>>96832978lumineth have the asymmetrical bow
>>96832985I'm not 100%, but I thought there was some lore tidbit about the centaurs being magically transformed chorfs
>>96832988Damn, that is true.
>>96832985they don't have sex, no, they're geldednew bull centaurs are birthed by normal chaos dwarf women completely at random
>>96832988>3 top stringswhat the fuck
>>96833045This is gws attempt to make up for all of the models with bows with no strings modeled on them.
>>96832978Conquest jumped on these fuckers
>>96833008Imagine being born as twins and your brother gets the bull blessings and you don't and are eternally mogged by his superiority
>>96833056I find it hard to imagine a dwarf mother could carry a second dwarf in addition to the bull centaur.
>>96832988The multiple strings is so stupid
>>96833075I want to believe it's meant to evoke a harp, making them look a bit artistic, harmonious and elegant
>>96833075who cares, it looks cool as fuck
>>96833054>Conquest got spite heroes and tree dragons before sylvaneth didJames waited too long.
>>96833075More strings = more power = more required draw strength = cool. It’s not that serious, little bro. Also what that anon said about the harp.
>>96832974Excellent, Saved.Exactly what I was thinking, just multiple arms loading and loosing arrows like a shotgun/machinegun.>>96832397>>96832444I also think they aren't really using the OBRs full potential, really an artist is limited only by his imagination and whatever manager is over him. The very first time I saw the mortek crawler I thought oh shit it's like those Kinetic Beasts but it's a whole faction of them and they're alive like in Humanity Lost, but then I saw it's just a bunch of legs moving.Hopefully they let some artists who love bones off the chain with some new models. Until then I'll dream of new stuff.
>>96833054I might get this, it feels at home in tzeentch
>>96832839In the name of STYLE you caveman!
>>96832858Because Darkoath are spread across the mortal realms while the Marauders are largely Monocultural.It's not that complicated
>>96830984After sooo many years, finally, the first Lizardmen book? Wtf were they thinking for all these years.
>>96832978>>96832988>>96833054We can always go bigger.Though I'd do something crazier with the bow/bone amalgamation. I dig the kimono though.
>>96831061There's only Guy Haley - the Drekki Flynt books are fun, Prince Maesa is a good book. Hamilcar is also good, and Gitslayer was fun. That's about it.
>>96833126no it doesn't because it's asymetrical. It's not doing anything, at least if there was 3 on each side there would be the illusion of more strength behind the bow pull, as it is it just doesn't make any sense. >>96833213based fellow humanity lost enjoyer.
>>96833333ok but make the bowarm a spine and keep a grinning animated skull on top
>>96832858>cut number of bodies to maximise the kit interchangeability, having fewer bodies than a horde kit reasonably should >Norsca originally had gender specific kits so a mixed unit wasn't as necessary Everything prior has been business as usual if not moreso considering the prominence of women in Cathay, so I can't imagine this is a new direction.
>>96833213>some artists who love bonesIn that case he should be working on Soulblight, because OBR barely even look bone.
>>96833338Anon. I’m begging you to think just once. I promise it won’t hurt.
>>96833344That helps spot enemies from afar and yells "BOOM HEADSHOT!" for every hit.
>>96833360it also taunts the archer when he misses
>>96833352them going to the same spot I kind of hate. I get it's supposed to be a harp but I'm just not a fan
>>96833351I get what you mean since they do more just the aesthetics of bone rather than just bone, I guess its easier to make it their own.What I meant an artist can take a lot of inspiration from real life. Mix, mash, fuse together with the sense this was created by an independent mind totally bound to create living constructs with a dedicated function. The sky really feels like the limit.
>>96833424Wrong image.
>>96833069>>96833056The tome says the chorf mothers frequently die birthing the bull centaurs, so another baby would likely either be killed in the womb, or die during childbirth too - and mom would be extra screwed.I’d read a book from a POV of a chorf with a bull centaurs brother, though. Would be interesting. Hell, a chorf POV book in general would have a lot of potential. BL capacity to write it, though…
>>96833481>a chorf POV bookI wouldn't be surprised if it's already been written but will be held back for another eight months from now because BL and GW can't coordinate their release schedules.
>>96833502It’ll be delayed and incorrect because the author would be working off earlier drafts of the faction lore.
>>96833370That seems more like a nighthaunt thing. Ossiarch who underperform simply get their soul(s) permanently demoted to being a horse's ass or some such.
>>96833481I'm annoyed they're shying away from the hobgrotz being slaves lore, because a book from the perspective of a subjugated hobgrot working in service of some big general trying to undermine him and eventually escape would be awesome.>he's just using the whip to motivate his fellow vassals guys, he's definetly not whipping out of line slaves!
>>96833424They haven't gone far enough in the bone crafting. This thing is by far the most interesting model in the range. It's visually boney, but it doesn't have anything about it that would be natural. Compared to a lot of the regular units that just look like armored guys who could be made of just about any material. I mean, I like the idea of the Grievous knockoffs when they're not retardedly holding a two handed weapon in both of the same side arms, but there's nothing about them design wise that really screams "these guys are fucked up skeletons."
>>96833508>>96833502BL really needs to have some guest authors. Pay a stipend and have the type of authors who just crank shit out to come and write some shit. Not like BL authors have a good grasp on the lore they right about anyway for the most part. Brandon Sanderson could probably shit out a trilogy in the time it takes these BL authors to write a single book. AOS as a setting would be the perfect setting for something like Elric, man. Just find an author who gives half a shit and lay off the Branding(tm).
>>96833520He needs a book so badly. I love this man. His suffering is one of the funniest things GW has written. Long live the Cuck King!
>>96833551ironically, I think the artillery piece actually shows off the bone crafting stuff the best, having a bunch of centipede bone feet and being one massive bone supported by smaller support bones. The setting already has giants, they should use more giant bones for weapons and armor and things, it would look cool.
>>96833538GW are British, this isn't slavery it's normal class relations
>>96833560GW routinely hire new talent for shorts before bringing them aboard as regular commissions. 3rd edition ended with a new batch of them
Hedonites should have a prayer lore.
>>96833601I cant see people who are to into themselves to genuinely show devotion to a god. I mean unless they're enthralled, then I guess that's something else.
>>96833560The branding takes me out of whatever immersion I might get into so often. I feel like it’s a management mandate on the authors to refer to units by their inventory system name when they’re being mentioned.
>>96833538Amazing how kruleboy hobgrots wear less yet seem to do way better.
>>96833608There's 3 kinds of Hedonite, anon.>Godseekers>Pretenders (usurpers of Slaanesh)>Invaders (business as usual, Slaanesh will show up eventually)Prayers would totally fit for 2 out of 3 at worst, and it would help push the narrative of Slaanesh reaching out of imprisonment like they did when the Twins were dropped.
>>96830984Anyone have this guy's previous short story? I irrationally hate having to buy pdfs off the Black Library site but I loved his 4vsrj0k book.
>>96833622Kruleboy Hobgrotz have hand grenades, they have less coverage but seem to have better gear somehow. Annoys me too.
>>96833652Then again it explains why several veteran grots are missing limbs
building skaven as my first spearhead really warped my expectation of how many models spearheads usually come with when building 12 infantry and a walker and an artillery piece is a complete HoH spearhead
so I looked into this and I gotta say the Kharadron are so silly and goofy just a bunch of dwarfs floating around with balloons. kinda made me want to get a few
>>96833665>Seeing the old NH Spearhead is 34 models>All 34 start on the tableSpearheads are crazy. My first was Cities and I thought that was a big list at 17
I bought a Stormbringer thing from Hachette last week. I never received any email confirmation from them or any indication that the order shipped. For anyone US-based who bought from them, how long did it take you to get your orders?
>>96833638https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=written+in+the+stars+aos+pdf
>>968336993-5 business days
If the new dispossessed aren’t just this with some flame motifs and ur gold etchings here and there I don’t want it.
>>96833652>>96833661One of many reasons I’m just using slittaz as a proxy for Vandalz. Main thing being slittaz are cheap as dirt and fuck paying GW for 20 vandalz (65 fucking usd retail) when you can commonly find slittaz, which are barely distinguishable as different and are on the same bases, at 10 bucks per 10. Ludicrous.
>>96833727there's no attempt to blend them with fyreslayers
>>96833712I really thought it wouldn't be that easy. Thanks lad.>>96833729I'm not sure which I prefer. I like the one or two vandalz that have the proper droopy caps. Post models when you get yours.
Any hopes or expectations for tomorrow?
>>96833577Honestly part of the problem, potentially. Pay some actual talented writers to write compelling stories and enrich the setting in a reasonable (and business-aligned) timeframe. Release the book alongside the new releases, use the author as cross promotion.But no, keep paying hacks and college grads to write garbage stories that very few people even buy in the first place. GW needs to spend some of their fucking money, lord knows they have plenty of spending and investment capital and they raise their prices every goddamn year. At least make the ecosystem we’re buying into interesting.
>>96833615What, you don’t like reading about characters whose tabletop equivalent might as well be bolded and underlined every time they appear? It’s just written in such an unnatural way to force the language.
>>96833759They literally just announced a book written by an award winning author.
How do I convince a big Stormcast lady to give me a blowjob?

LEWD LORE QUESTIONSo Bull Centaurs are all male?

Or are beautiful and tight elf and human female slaves brought to them to satisfy their needs? Maybe even Hedonite women to spice things up? After all, their every desire is tended to in lore.
>>96831061Even if AoS wasn't gy and retarded there would still be no good books because black library is cringe shit under all circumstances.
>>96833831It is canon and I am going to comission a artist to make a high quality 15-20 pages comic showing decadent opulent stable like palaces where Bull Centaurs live per lore, sexually ravaging various beautiful sexy tight elf, human and dwarf slave women.Bull Centaurs are children of the Bullfather, and those women will grow addicted to their potent members and seed.Also, I have a idea for a Anointed Sentinel to fuck Hedonite women while chanting Hashutite scriptures.Any good recommendations for a artist. I might even share the work here once it is done.
>>96833831I'm holding out hope for Cow Centuars with huge Hashut blessed milkers.

>>96833899Nope!
>>96833856Why would you want that, anon?
>>96833926
>>96833926I couldn't possibly say, the Order of Azyr would silence me. Good art.
>>96833791Do you think you could feel the tingle of the lightning?
>>96833915You should call them. You at least should have gotten a confirmation email
>>96833966I got my package so like whatever
I purposefully ignored everything about Darkoath until I saw the new marauders, now I'm interested but I heard Darkoath are kind of shit in game too.Do they serve any real purpose in StD? Chaff doesn't seem all that necessary when you already have affordable bricks like warriors and knights.
>>96830984I bought too much and now I feel I’ll never finish my backlog. I have 37 minis to go.
>>96833982>Make an active effort to keep all models segregated into their own settings>Make a kit so cool that AOS will 100% poach it for STDGW should just be chill and expect and encourage people to take models from HH/TOW and use them in 40k/AOS.
>>96834062They really should, marine players bought 30k stuff in spades when it was fully legal during 8th
>>96834062It helps that they're 100% WYSIWYG, are spiritually the same units, are in scale, come in the correct unit sizes and will fit on the right bases no problem.
>>96833982how many marauders did GW churn out >untamed beasts>iron golems>corvus cabal>cypher lords >splintered fangs>the unmade>tarantulos brood>scions of the flame >horns of hashut>spire tyrants>claws of karanak>bloodreavers (starter set)>bloodreavers (multipart)>garrek's reavers>kamandora's blades>rotmire creed>jade obelisk>kairic acolytes (silver tower)>kairic acolytes (multipart)>blissbarb archers>chaos legionnaires >darkoath savagers>darkoath marauders>godsworn hunt>gnarlspirit pack >brand's oathboundand now>norscan marauders
>>96834100None of the Warcry warbands were ever really meant to replace marauders in AoS, though they tried for one battletome.Kairic Acolytes and Blissbarbs are definitely marauder equivalents, but they would still function alongside baseline marauders as their magic/archer support units.
>>96834100Enough for marauders to be an entire faction on their own evidently.
>Painting Mortisan Elite box>finished the Guard and Stalkers>now I have to paint the Morghasts
>>96834100Untamed Beasts should've been expanded alongside Iron Golems, with a few monsters expanding some other cultists like a mutant spider or snake
>>96833008Gelding them would reduce their at. Seems like a terrible idea
So now that Fantasy is back, what's the point of playing the derivative copy when you can play the classic?

>>96834709If I want to play a game with squares I’d be with your mother.
why didn't stormfiends get refreshed with the skaven release
>>96834709Neither game wants me to have a full fucking roster!>AoS: No giant rats, rat swarms, packmasters, on-foot plague priests, or gutter runners>TOW: No verminlords, stormfiends, or rat ogres with guns
>>96834831Because they are brand new and look great
>>96834831Too modern, too high fantasy for tow to want. Endtimes model too. It’s honestly fine for what it is. >>96834840>he wants swarms I kinda do too but for that to happen he needs to reintroduce summons and that’s both a bitch to balance and it always fucking hurts someone’s wallet. People are already bitching that they have to buy endless spells as it is.
Should I buy an airbrush to paint a lord of change, or can I get away with brushing it?
Anybody have suggestions for a black crackle paint to use as an alternative for mordant earth?
>>96834870Depends what you want the airbrush for
>>96834853>brand newthey're like 11 years old
>>96834709both games are to have vastly different art directionsif you are TOW only kind of guy, you should view AoS as protecting you from "wowification" in art direction. As many have criticized that has meant AoS looks more like World of Warcraft (its the most popular fantasy game of all time, no shit their artists and marketing team are gonna use that in their mood boards)GW being expected to make sure the games look distinct from each other lets TOW stick to their roots so AoS can push more into pure high fantasy stuff
>>96834938And they hold up.
>>96834831Speaking ofwhy the fuck does the spearhead box come with the old grey seer still lmao
>>96834952It’s a sign that they aren’t letting go of skaven anytime soon.
>>96834709Because AoS is more fun
>>96834956It's just bizarre since it uses the new clanratsthat released in the same box that introduced a new non-shit grey seer sculpt lmao
>>96834952building that fucker feels like a puzzleit does not fit together in an immediately obvious way
I think a Death hero who swings around a coffin would be cool. Maybe with a new faction of recently deceased people who desperately hunt souls to replace their own lest they be reaped by Nagash and tormented in far worse ways than they currently suffer. Like a reverse FEC where they're horribly aware of their undead nature but try to appear as alive as possible. Also the recently-departed thing could be neat where they cover up obvious wounds or use the very weapons that killed them.
>>96834952its because the new grey seer shares a sprue with the telescope foot hero rat forgot his name in Skaventide
>>96834709literally every aspect of tow is an insane chore
>>96835281> Maybe with a new faction of recently deceased people who desperately hunt souls to replace their own lest they be reaped by Nagash isn't this more or less the lore for the Namarti? they have to raid other order cities to get souls so they don't die?>death hero who swings around a coffinI wouldn't hate this
>>96832159GW seems to have the Brian Jacques view of rats
>>96834185How come? They look cool, I'm an undecisive fuck who can't pick between the two spearheads and these guys are a good selling point for the elite box.
how quickly do the AoS christmas boxes sell out compared to the 40k onesdo I have to plan on waking up early to grab this skaven one
