Beastmen are the gigachads of WFB THOUGH?
>>
>>96845872
They arrived too late to matter and due to "the story" at the time didn't have anything to do. Then they were underpowered on average at an army level. And then on top of that, none of their heroes had the cool factor of the other races due to edition history.
Mostly just straight bad luck and GW fumbling essentially.

So the old world is basically HRE, Russia and Normandy, China to the right, then India, Araby and Japan even further right, Ulthuan is the Brits, the new world is Aztecs in the south and Canadians in the north, and Africa is Spain? Are there any other nations based on real ones?
>>
>>96845872
/tg/ is not a big place anymore, if it ever truly was, and we happen to have a few anons who started beastmen relatively recently, accomplice the fact that they got booted out by aos while still having some active players and a number of plastic kits
total war also gave them fresh memes and notoriety, compared to the past

but despite that they're still a faction ultimately plagued by being the stepchild of chaos, misbegotten in terms of the depth and width of their fluff, number of releases and the strength of rules, maybe tow is finally giving them a chance to change and be more, but as of now, I'm still not sure that's the case
>>

Beastman have always been the protagonists of Warhammer.

>Ulthuan is the Brits
Not really, Albion is the UK
>>
>>96845872
In the late 1990's folk horror really fell out of vogue compared to its big bumps in pop culture in the 70's and 2020's. So they were lumped in by people that didn't know the term as "generic background fodder" or at best "cringe fairy tale stuff".

No, Spain is Estalia Italy is Tilea, they are both in the old world. There is also Araby down south. There are also Border Princess which are balkan stand in and are open pvp zone where you can set up your own kingdom.

dark elves are the united states, not canadians
dark elves are slavers that split to north america after all
estalia is spain, tilea is italy, nehekara is egypt, kuresh is southeast asia, norsca is scandinavia, bretonnia is france, chaos dwarfs are mesopotamian, ogres and hobgoglins are mongols, they've added the name "khosun" northeast of cathay, which would be korea given the name
the plain of tuskers would have subsharan africans

>>96845826
I love Beastmen, but I never understood why a race so fundamentally opposed to civilization and order would fight in a structured rank and file system like the civilized races. Is there a lore explanation for this, or is it just one of those things that gets hand-waved away in the name of playability?

Gors, Ungors, Centigors, and Harpies are skirmish and all their beasts can be 1+. The dogs make sense to form into groups, the minotaurs are trying to outdo each other so fight close together, and the bestigors are smart enough to understand power of arms. Wildherd and Warped gors not having skirmish is the only glaring mistake.

They are hypocrites. By nature. They are just enough man to recognise they are beasts and will never have a place in mans world but just enough beast to recognise they are not men and could never live like them. They have language, culture, civilisation of a sort. But they do not have society, education, continuity. Each like animals is a fresh wipe every third generation or so. But they are still human enough to understand this and hate it. Hating what the humans have all the more in turn. So they dedicate themselves to burning it all down so everyone lives as shitty lives as they do.

Goat maga basically.

Lads, I require your counsel.

We're playing WFRP 4ed with 2 friends, I GM and play a Warrior Priest of Sigmar, mostly as a tank to not overshadow the players.

They play a human engineer and a wood elf hunter.

We are not super good at social tasks just yet. They would like to play an adventure with a little bit of brains usage next time, since we have done several fighting adventures back to back. Is there one such adventures already existing? Happy to take an older edition adventure and adapt of course.

I was thinking about The Lock-In from the One Shots of Reikland supplement.

Thanks!

This was one of the first bits of Warhammer art I ever saw, and it's really stuck with me. It might be the green cloth against the white snow, or the mountains and buried statues hinting at this collapsing people, but it holds a special place in my heart either way.

>>96846109
I really like Colbesfeld's bane. Its about a lord's son leading a hunt for a gigantic boar, but has a really nice mix of investigation types, as the boar can show up, wreck shop and get out before the players have a chance to respond, so they have to actively think smart rather than just wander from combat to combat.

Almost as if the setting created by British people doesn't compartmentalize references to and aspects of British history to a single faction. But no, that's impossible.

Ambush can be good depending on your opponent. If they have lot of skirmishers who can easily respond to an ambush, probably not worth it.
If they're all close-order units and you want to disrupt their backline? Ambush is great.
Are you playing a scenario where you need to capture an objective like the Baggage Train? Ambush is great.

Just remember if you try to hit the backline of Dorfs or Empire: cannons CAN spin on their axis and still fire. So just be aware before your ambushers suck some grapeshot to the face.
At the very least, forcing your opponent to pull some big expensive unit back to deal with 60-points of your army is never a bad deal.

So I just found out about Age of Sigmar (and the old world, but ok)

Why did somebody working for GW ever think half-arsedly wiping half of the named characters and all the geography from the setting was a good idea? And why was everybody else too retarded to fire that guy?
>>
Maybe I'm just dreaming here, but why would Norsca be on the table as a new sub-faction, or model range? Now I'm not saying Norsca shouldn't or couldn't be added, but to me it would feel like like a missed opportunity. When Archaon was the head honcho it made sense to have Norsca, but in the Old World the Everchosen is Asavar Kul of the Kurgan. Why not explore that instead of doing a repeat of what is to come in the future at some point (again) anyway?

Obviously ideally we'd get both but for now I'm just interested in the what-if scenario where James comes and personally asks us what we'd rather have if we had to choose one.

Warhammer Fantasy was selling extremely poorly. There is a lot of debate and arguments as to why at that point in time, but GW needed some sort of shake up. People inside GW have said that completely blowing up the setting was a last minute descision and GW were toying between that and keeping the world but massively changing the setting. Ultimately having a blank slate to work with was seen as preferable
>>
>>96847030
Because the previous CEO had run the game into the ground and it wasn't selling but took up minimum a third of the storefronts and warehouse storage. TWW really revived interest in the IP and thats why it was brought back. Should it have died? no. Did it need a break and a reinvention? yes.

At the end of the day we have AoS for fantasy style 40k and TOW for rank and flank so really the legends stuff is the only issue in the long run but thats an issue thats easily solveable now its shown the game is profitable as a specialist game rather than trying to make it a core pillar.

It was a while ago but I think it was a Rick Priestley interview where he said that the Warhammer World getting blown up by Chaos was something that was always planned, although his vision for it was very different. He wanted the Warhammer World just get flipped into a Chaosified version of it where all the human, dwarf and elf empires were entirely corrupted. Not sure who would've been the "good guys" in such a state, but it was definitely an aspect of the setting that was thought of well before AoS was even a design document.
Think it might've been a Jordan Sorcery interview video, but I can't remember for sure.

So far it's just an excuse to release new models for Marauders and Horse Marauders, I think. maybe some new plastic models for characters (like those boxes for empire or helfs with one guy on horse and one on foot)
>the Everchosen is Asavar Kul of the Kurgan
they'll get there eventually, probably. I think to remember the current lore is just after the Three Emperors and Von Carstein war, so the next huge step lorewise is the Great Chaos War, Asavar, Magnus the Pious and the colleges of magic

On release AOS was marketed as an extremely simple and much quicker game, with rules that all fit on one page. It was being positioned as a much more beginner/kid friendly version of 40k with models that looked like Space Marines
>>
>>96847267
They haven't even done much with the wood elves either though....
>>
>>96847299
because 40k is GW's flagship and translating its format into a fantasy setting would allow them to sell all those warhammer boxes catching dust in their storehouses while opening and new franchise to replace the seemingly exhausted Warhammer setting
>>
>>96847299
because you've realized you dont like getting half your army blown off the table at the first turn
or that melee kinda sucks
or that your game has no magic
or l shaped ruins dont really cut it
or that the entire game is designed and warped around killing marines
or that knights and custodes introduced another issue to the game
I dont even play 40k anymore but there are/were a lot of issues with 40k that would make me want to look for another game. Simplified but not simple still rings in my head.

They wanted stormcast to be that for fantasy. Only it became very clear very quick AoS by its high fantasy nature is a freakbeast game where people want wierd sicko characters. Which is why shit like Flesh Eater Courts are far, far more popular than regular vampires.

lol no.
A similar thing happened when 40k went to 8th edition. GW tried dumb the game down to "reduce bloat", but that ended up just making the game boring.

I had an idea for a story:
A particularly hot-headed young Wood Elf sneaks out of Athel Loren and joins a Bretonnian Tournament as a mystery knight
Is there anything in the lore that would make this 100% impossible?

>>96847372
>Why the new models though? And specifically the stormcasts?
Easy to paint, easy to appeal to timmy. All I remember watching from an interview is that stuff like the steam punk dwarves and the fish people all were pet projects and were ideas that people wanted to explore before fantasy imploded, but the setting was already warry about fleshing a faction like cathay out beyond some vauge texts. Beyond this point you're gonna have to ask the aos general.
>>96847408
unironically wish these were the rules for 10th 40k instead of the mess that game was for the first 4-5 months or however long until pariah nexus hit. Rerolls and eldar were fucking cancer, doubly so when the core rules aren't even pretending to be ironed out.

I still dont really get what is being fought over in aos. The factions have clear motivation, but all the realms being so abstract and how explicitly magical everything is kind of ruins the vibe.

I know what nuln is and I get why it's strategically important. I understand why cadia was important and strategically necessary. Aos is just sort of airy in comparison. Nothing really has any weight because it's all equally magical and reliant on divine connection if that makes sense.

I dont know if I'm just not giving aos a fair shake or being a retard, but the lore really bugs me.

one thing i've noticed with AoS is that it's popular....but also not

it constantly is top 5 of miniature kits sold in those quarterly sales infographics online, but could half of that be due to other game systems using the models?
anyone wanting any form of daemons is an AoS sale, dark elves are currently an AoS sale, CSM daemon princes are an AoS sale, and not to forget some TOW players using some AoS models to give their army some more variety

but online, outside of the tabletop...
you just NEVER hear about AoS as a setting
it's very strange, I was at a con on the weekend and there was easily 50+ people in 40k cosplays, 2 in fantasy cosplays...
but AoS? just nothing
not denying its existence, ive seen 2 in my life but one was online and one was at a warhammer world event

TOW could do with ripping off one of AoS 2nd editions events, the only time that game was considered great not just good, like Malign Portents.
Narratively Nagash was up to some bullshit, as usual, and signs of his dark magic was spreading over the land. Fields of corn that grew ears of teeth not kernels, demons of nurgle being weakened as life itself began to wane, ghosts rising up in their thousands to roam across the countryside.

The selling point of this was giving each major faction a new hero unit tied into the narrative, not unlike the old albion event for WHFB.

Just imagine a narrative event for TOW where its like the beastmen and orcs assaulting brettonia and the wood elves ride to their aid and all four get a new on foot hero or something and worldwide victories or losses decide the result of the event. That feels like what we are missing.

How many models a unit of Chosen is a good amount to take? The special Chosen models are kind of pricey but I think I'd like to take them since they do fit the Chosen aesthetic rather than just repurposing the basic Warriors as Chosen.

>Daemon princes are actually better than dragon lords
IIRC this is due to the matched play rules restricting characters to 500pts so if you take a Chaos Lord its like 490 pts before magic items so everyone went over to using the DP.

I don't know the scientific explanation for it, all he said was that the best player in Canada always runs a DP and that said DP has Fly (9), is a level 4 sorcerer of Nurgle (daemonology), has the ogre blade, the armour of meteoric iron, 1 favour of the gods, and the extra arm gift of chaos. Old World Rankings seems to corroborate his tale, so I'm inclined to believe him, but I don't have a daemon prince so I can't know for sure.

I don't know whether I should be disappointed or relieved. On one hand I'm disappointed that Chosen are difficult justify putting on the table. On the other hand I also do not mind to just sit and wait for them to make a new proper plastic Chosen kit for TOW and possibly change their profile, as they are doing to the marauders now. The AoS Chosen aren't to my taste and I'm trying to avoid metal since I've entire armies of metal figs and want to make an "easy" army of pure plastic as possible.
But for now I have no idea what to field though. I wasn't really interested in the big monsters.

>>96850969
It's not really a question of modifying their profile. I don't think Chosen would be good even if they got a ton of special rules. Their statline can't really be improved either without fundamentally changing what they are as a unit. WS5 S4 T4 A2 Ld9 is crazy good, but why would you pay points out of your special allocation for a statline like that on an infantry unit with M4? Infantry is only "good" now because of the CR changes and because they fight in an extra rank when they get charged. I'm sure you can figure out why Chosen and even regular chaos warriors didn't benefit from these changes.
I wanted to fill out the rest of this post with complaints about the absolute state of the chaos rules in TOW, but I can't be bothered. Just go look at the lists people are bringing to tournaments. Things are dire.

I doubt that legacy factions will get touched purely because it will set a precedent they probably don't want to commit to THIS edition, and they also wouldn't have developed any models for them since the 'confined to legacies' decision will have prevented any development from at least two years ago.

Claymore Castings stuff is fantastic. I have quite a lot of their figures (but not really for Warhammer related things), mostly for generic fantasy stuff. I would say they are slighter than GW figures (not really shorter, just finer) but I don't really have a photo that has a real comparison.

Here's a force for Dragon Rampant that has a mix of msotly Claymore and Fireforge, with a few GW bits here and there.

I'd be surprised if it was anything ogre. Not because I think they won't come back, but it seems weird to announce them before the aos revamp. Could be that they announce both at the same time of course, but aos show is probably going to be centered around nurgle and maybe cities of sigmar to coincide with darkwater. Their new dwarfs are probably more of an end of edition thing, to avoid overlap with chorfs who just released. That leaves ogres in the middle, maybe this time next year?

He does say that he thinks something large is coming for TOW otherwise they would have just kept the marauders in their pocket for the show.

I'm a touch fearful that they'd fuck up the Kislev range by making it 90% ice magic bullshit and warrior women. Don't get me wrong, ice magic can be very cool, but should be relegated to one or two units (other than wizard characters) tops. And blades of ice is not the way to make ice magic cool.

>The use of Magic by specific people has long been accepted by its people, Kislev was founded by a Ice Witch, is supported and protected by witches, and is currently ruled by a Ice Witch. In Kislev, magic is solely practised by women and consequently seen as a feminine art with any visiting male spellcasters often becoming figures of hatred and/or ridicule, for no sane man would risk his soul by meddling with womanly matters.


>The roles of warrior and hunter are traditionally almost exclusive to men in Kislev, and thus so are the priesthoods of Ursun and Tor. The existence of Imperial priestesses of Taal and Ulric are taken by many traditional Kislevite priests as an example of the Empire's decadent ways and the womanly softness of its culture.

So we got 5 armies last year

What are the odds we get another 5 armies next year now that they've caught up to the original 9 confirmed factions?
Kislev is pretty likely obvious and Skaven and Vampire Counts have both been squatted out of AoS but would that be it? Or would we have to wait for a 2nd edition for more armies beyond Kislev.
>>
>>96854853
I guess Ogres are the next one to get squatted seeing as AoS chaos dwarves replaced Gnoblars with Hobgrots and Dark Elves may as well be squatted.

Vampire Counts question.

Do you miss having Bloodlines as mechanically defined things? Or do you prefer the freedom of nothing being locked behind a bloodline? If you had to bring Bloodlines back to TOW, either as part of a VC full army list, or just a facelift to their legacy army, or as an arcane journal, how would you go about doing it?

Nothing wrong with you being an ogre anon. He just finds them repulsive enough to not waste his time painting an army of them

>>96855785

>>
>>96856186
I like the idea of Bloodlines, but sometimes it could be too restrictive in practice. A middle ground between 6th and 8th would be ideal.

As for doing Bloodlines in TOW, I'd basically treat it like how the arcane journal handled Knightly Orders. Stat modifiers to existing units.

von Carstein
>+1 Leadership and +1 to their Indomitable rating, no other modifiers, Carsteins are the default.

Blood Dragon
>+2 Weapon Skill. Can take full plate armor and cast in armor if not using the Renegade Legacy Pack. Can only buy a single wizard level, Dark Acolyte can take them to level 2.

Lahmian
>-1 WS, +2 I, can only wear Light Armor. Can take a warbow with the Arrows of Asaph Rule.

Necrarch
>-2 WS, can't wear armor. +1 Wizard level.

Strigoi are already represented with Ghoul Kings, give them a thrall equivalent that can pull BSB duty.

That's the clean way without adding a bunch of new vampire powers that could fuck with game balance. I would appreciate more vampire powers, but we don't need them. Could maybe add a new unit per bloodline but not necessary.

instead of gluing the shield to the left arm you stick a weapon onto that one
the chaos warriors sprue should have enough of left hands holding weapons, it's just a matter of minor cutting for those to fit

if I were you I'd use both the left arms and the right arms, and unhelmeted heads of the basic chaos for these dual wielding knights (perhaps even replacing the heavy pauldrons with something else), so you free all the knights' heads, weapons and shields to turn normal chaos warriors bodies (or blood warriors) into cooler sets of marked warriors or chosen
