>>96900940erhmm wait what is that brown thing at the bottom of the image
>>96900979i guess thats sex toy anon, don't mind it
>>96900940>Anon's first post is his WIP Tyranids and his ebony ona-hole in the fantasy generalOFF TO A FLYING START!
>>96901107>ebony ona-hole>>96900940
>>96900940Post hands now, monkeyfucker
>>96900940So which hole is that? This is related to Warhammer fyi.
>empire player>down with the swirljust waiting for estallians to get some love huh?
Does the plastic dwarf lord have the same faint patterns on their armour the ironbreakers do?
>>96901313On Oathstone or Shieldbearer?I think the Oathstone model does, but I'm not sure about the Shieldbearer model
>asrai editionGW better give us a new model soon, only faction not to get onealso laurelorn forest armylist that combines WE and HE units into one faction when?
>>96901337>also laurelorn forest armylist that combines WE and HE units into one faction when?never considering the time to have that would have been the WE AJ, and we instead got a random kingdom of Athel Loren instead of the Eonir, even though the plot took place in Laurelorn Forest
>>96901337Never, ever. James would never be able to sell the old ass high elf core if you could just away with using the much better looking wood elf core troops.
>>96901391Core troops are kinda ass? Like they’re definitely not much better than the high elf stuff, arguably worse. Unless you mean the eternal kit, then yeah that’s something.
>>96900940>The hole is still wet...
>>96901410The eternal kit yes, but even the archers are better looking than the HE ones, late 6e vs early 6e and all that. Sea Guard/Reavers from IOB are good though.
>>96901446>even the archers are betterEh…I dunno about that. Both look like turds.
>>96901465Check hand to head size ratio, sure the welves aren't perfect, but those high elf spears and archers are just atrocious.
>>96900940
One day I will get my hands on the man who designed the Sentinel kit and it won't be a good day for him.
>>96900940>nidfags like black pussy…kinda makes sense
Idk why some people namely that fatass Loremaster Sotek hated Ka'bandha's inclusion in Fantasy.We've seen plenty of named Daemons crossing settings without issue.
>>96900940hold on... that's not TOW!
I imagine a lot of anons ITT look like this fat bastard
>>96901692I personally think it's great, and shows how pathetically weak 40k things are. Oh that daemon that broke Sanguinus' back? Yeah, my regiment of 40 halberdiers just made it go poof because of daemonic instability :^)
>>96901692All his feats are in 40k and connected to Space Marines. It was also an issue in the end times, since Demons, who did do Fantasy stuff like Skarbrand, did not show at all, but Ka'bandha did
50 FUCKING YEARS AND NOTHING FOR US ON THE PROMO OF THE WHITE DWARF MAG? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
>>96901831You get rules for chariot racing in AoS and pictures of space marines!
>>96901831God that looks so soulless
>>96901831>female SC and primaris marine on either side as the front coverlmao
>>96901831>50th anniversary edition cover art is some cheap female sigmarine and the same untramarine they have been using in promo pics since 2018 quickly plastered over a grey background Wow
>>96901831could have used some really old GW art or even a recreation of that instead if something that generic
>>96901662Anon... that's not in the shape of a pussy...
>>96901749>Skarbrand, did not show at allHe was probably too busy fighting someone else.
>>96901692Sotek is a nominis total war guy who went along with female bretonnian knights happily while glazing that loser andy law. Huge faggots both
>>96901888I was actually thinking the same thing, just maybe not something as old as what you posted.If anything, I feel like the art they used just calls attention to how GW's art has declined aggressively over the last few years. The subject(s) aren't doing anything engaging, which is compounded dramatically by just how sterile the art itself is. If GW wanted it to mean fucking anything, they should have gone with one of the more iconic styles from the 80s or late 90s/early 2000s. They also shouldn't have slapped a Stormcast on there because it only calls attention to the fact that they've had zero cultural impact. It should have been a space marine and a GREEN fucking Fantasy orc.
i don't want to derail the thread into more AoS bitching but how did they fuck stormcasts up so badly? it's such a shit worthless addition to the setting, their lore sucks and the models look like shit. i get that they are supposed to be easy to paint, though i doubt they really are because of modern GW detail creep. i feel like they are literally the last option anyone would go for when picking an AoS army, the exact opposite of space marines.
>>96902117Because they wanted to add fantasy space marines, but fantasy already had them *chaos warriors) so they had to make them even bigger and pauldron-ier and it just ruined all the established dynamics.
>>96902007naw they should have slipped in art of that one dude from the foot grail knights in there instead in the middle. perfect trio.
>>96900893>TQShaggothIt's just such a neat mix of abilities and flavor.
>>96901692this model would be baller on a TOW tableswap out the leviathan dreadnought for something like a destroyed steam tank or rock or something
>>96902242>this model would be baller on a TOW tableI need to remind myself not to consider any of the opinions on this board seriously.
>>96902117They wanted a fantasy Space Marine, not in the literal sense, but in a more figurative sense. GW wanted a posterboy faction that was easy to paint, a protagonist in the setting, and was completely unique to GW for copyright purposes.
>>96901831>50 years of games workshop>basically nothing about the pre-warhammer days>no fantasy, it starts at 40k
>>96902247ok, tell us why you don't believe it to be the case then?he's a cool model, just needs his wing rotated
>>96902261/AOSG/ awaits you.
>>96902266>non-answerlast chance
>>96902242The chainaxe might stand out. But sure, it would look fine as some sort of superheavy demon you field for massive games (just like the exalted bloodthirster/aangrath model)
>>96902242>this model would be baller on a TOW tableFor a 2000 point or less game I wouldn't take one. But anything above that then yeah he would look great.
>>96901831The new GW logo is SO soulless compared to the older one.
The chest is Vampire Coast right?
>>96903144Def Old World themed.VC or the rest of Cathay.
>>96903176The fireworks are Cathay
>>96902247>>96902261I'm with this guy it would look retarded, you can field the old FW bloodthirster instead. Or skaarac. Or mazarall. All 3 were designed for whfb (2 released in aos)
I got a Meow! I can't believe I actually blew $150 on her, and now I have this sudden urge to paint her with dark skin.
So the Renegade Crown list is an weak afterthought, right? It looks like a an armylist that is designed to get mulched by anything remotely monsterous.
What do the locks mean?
>>96903829a squires anal Chasity
I hope wood elves never get good rules.
>>96903829The locks mean that your sissy clitty hasn't been good enough to be released.
>>96903829would be nice to get a female knight character
bait
>>96903738>an army list that is designed to get mulched by anything remotely monstrousWhy yes, I do play low fantasy Bretonnia, how could you tell?
>>96903879I wouldn't mind a Repanse update in the slightest. Grail Knights are functionally immortal, retcon her to be a little older. There's also the daughter of Mousillon's Duke Maldred (upcoming Affair of the False Grail), who serves as his personal champion but disguises herself as a man because Bretonnia used to have good lore.
>>96904065Actually, checking the wiki, she's older than I thought and 100% alive and active during TOW, gimme updated Repanse NOW
>Cathay are the Space Marines of FantasyI want to believe. Because it's really funny.
>>96904103>Cathay are the Space Marines of FantasyHow?
>>96904122Something an anon mentioned last thread about sales. It's just, the idea that that simply expanding Warhammer rather than blowing it up would have been fine makes me happy.
>>96902281>The chainaxe might stand out.And that's not necessarily a bad thing, if he wielded such an exotic weapon in TOW.
>>96904122nta, but the dragon children are practically primarchs
>>96903144Dogs of War paymaster chest
>>96903144>>96903176>>96903182>>96904275With cathay rumoured to get 10+ units there's no space for another tow faction to get shitThat chest must be for aos
>>96902117A lot of aos design decisions, especially during that initial 6 month pre GHB era need to be viewed from the specific context of "oh shit fantasy ded we need to avoid the same mistakes". Problem is gw was kind of retarded about what the mistakes of fantasy actually are. Anyway a lot of the weirder ideas 'make sense' viewed from that lens:-points bloat making it impossible for new players ro get into the game? Points don't exist just put whatever you want on the table til both of you agree :)-stagnant setting causes inertia, endless grog seething when anything new is introduced (gyrocopters, demigryphs, hell pit abo's...)? Make the setting nigh-infinite with similarily nigh-infinity optionsIn a similar vein stormcast exist to solve a simple problem, the lack of an easy intro faction. Space marines fit this role for 40k and have been in literally every single starter box, they're piss-easy to paint (large, no faces, big open spaces). Whfb didn't really have that (actually they did in chaos warriors but they're evil so not perfect in attracting 12 year olds). Stormcast exist to fill that gap. While they're not a lot of people's favourite army, they ARE a lot of people's beginner army, after which they moved on to another aos army with more polarizing aesthetics.>>96903144Chest could be like 10 different things from across all 4 major systems. I'm going to guess dogs of war though.
>>96904307>While they're not a lot of people's favourite army, they ARE a lot of people's beginner armyi don't even know about this, i have seen like literally one person paint a stormcast army and it was just that eons of battle dude on youtube, never seen one posted online anywhere and no-one i know irl was ever interested in stormcasts.
>>96904065>I wouldn't mind a Repanse update in the slightest.me neither. I wasnt trying to be ironic.
>>96904087She's canonically dead at this point
Is it me or do monstrous infantry suck?If for example I take 3x2 minotaurs, that second rank can't attack, right?
>>96904103They are the primaris of whf.
Anon It is a time of need, I cant find a PDf of WD 298 and I really want to see the Chaos legion army with the two mammoths, can you help me?
>>96904293AoS might be getting some nurgle and a chest doesn't line up with anything in that range so doubtful. Also a firework isn't necessarily Cathay seeing as they already have a rocket, it could be chorfs from aos etc
>>96903829It's a paymasters chest.Usually it had multiple locks opened with different keys held by different high ranking members of the mercenary group.They had multiple locks so that no one person could open it and steal everyone's pay.
>>96904582the fireworks are specifically chinese fireworks and aos is getting both nurgle and cities of sigmar
>>96904584>dogs of warDon't give me hope anon
>>96904611valrak has said he's heard about dogs of war, but his track record on the fantasy stuff isn't solid
People itt genuinely beleived in Dogs of War or Ogres? These are the depths of depravity we've fallen into?
>Find my original metal Ogre Tyrant>It weighs more than two mega gargantsYou could kill a man with this minature.
>>96904626>lose game >throw metal tyrant into opponents eye>eat his corpse Just like the maw intended
>>96904626I have an old metal drednought. It weights a third of a kilo.
>>96904625dogs of war make sense eventually given the baked in system for mercenaries since day one and the possibility of bringing back some old metal units for a run or two or even permanentlyI'm not really expecting a plastic kit, but if they did one plastic kit for models on foot in full plate armour with a choice of pike or crossbow, optional pavises, and a choice of morion and corinthian helmets, that would immediately become a best selling product, I assure it
>>96904547correct. but they usually have more attacks pro model than regular or heavy infantry anyway.
>>96904626They are bringing back ogres just to revive the british metalworking industry.
>>96904625DoW and Ogres are the only armies actively mentioned in the fluff that also aren't having to redesign another massive army. They gotta release some boxed product other than Kislev and Cathay sculpts next year.
>>96904652>DoW and Ogres are the only armies actively mentioned in the fluffthe rulebook also talks about the vampire wars, the dark elves sundering, the great cataclysm with lizards and demonsskaven are also mentioned more often than ogres in the rulebook
>>96904669But those are all "they are busy" mentions. Ogres and Dogs of War are mentioned as active combatants in the current wars going on in the old world. Cathay in particular treats ogres as big of a threat as the forces of chaos to the north but no matter they try they can't wipe them out.
>>96904575'Ere ya gog0F!Le /d/ AHpwp8
Quick question on placement of characters on different bases:A single rank Chaos Knight unit accompanied by a Champion on Daemonic Mount. Normally a character who can't be placed neatly must be positioned to the side.However, the FAQ says a character can be positioned with the command group and Mount base (40 x 60) does seem to fit neatly so am I right it could be beside the command group towards the middle?
Why do you never see Preytons in peoples Beastmen armies? is it just because they are a recent returnee rather than something thats been in AoS for the last decade and never went away? for the points it seems like a neat ambusher for any army with a Beastlord general.Plus look at it.
>>96904675>But those are all "they are busy" mentionsno, they aren't >fall of tylos>fall of barak varn>attack of cripple peak>skaven make the fellblade>the black plague and skaven wars>mandred skavenslayer ends the wars>mandred skavenslayer is assassinated>skaven civil wars
>>96904683sure, go ahead
Are Ungor bowmen always skirmishers? half the people at my locals have them in two rows of 5 in a 10 man unit tray like with tomb king archers but others use them as individual minis.Is that an optional thing for additional points? if so whats the benefit to just some spicy niggas peppering the enemy with bows at range?
How do you guys paint smooth surfaced horns or tusks and make them visually interesting. I find it difficult to not make them look flat and boring.
>>96904582there's already a nurgle box, chest could be for cities of sigmar on the aos side I supposeHonestly I think it's custodes or something else heresy. WHQ gets a box, aos nurgle has a box, marinepiggies have a box, cathay has their fireworks. That leaves heresy as a major system.
>>96904684It's a niche model, not a particularly impressive or cheap one either, I don't know how good they are rulewise, but if they were, you can be sure people would rather convert them starting from vargheists
>>96904692i dont follow HH much but aren't word bearers and demons meant to be getting something?
>>96904690ungor have both the skirmisher and open order key word. that means, they can assume one of those formations during deployment or through reform manouvre. open order would be the rank and file formation in this case.
>>96904701last time I followed hh stuff they were about to get updated terminators (cataphracti), their own line of plastic custodes (now with women!), and darkmek skitariiI truly wish they would do a line of plastic undivided ruinstorm demons
>>96904575The other anon already gave you a proper link, but here's another. This version if from Warhammer+:https://litter.catbox.moe/bxx2y10ikpsciv9e.pdf
>>96904727does waqrhammer+ give access to old WD? how for back? all languages?
>>96904697
What's your experience with cardboard and mdf scenery? is it worth it or a scam that breaks apart at the first use?
>>96904684I really liked it but I feel like it needs to be a little cheaper to fit into lists a bit better and make it worth it. Still a cool af model though, that alone makes it worth taking.
>>96904701I thought they're doing plastic janitors. I guess that fits the box colours, red and gold ?
>>96904768Don't get too excited, they remove a bunch of stuff from the older issues
>>96904793It was too expensive for being such a pain in the ass. I just followed youtube videos on how to make mordheim terrain.
>>96904808just wondering if that was the case i could go look to see if someone had dumped them on a torrent or something, i guess the scans we have will have to do
>>96904065Tranny faggot
>>96904801You gotta introduce a force for the jannies to fight though so friends can split a starter box, thats been the way since battle for skull pass. Hell its why people are expecting kislev vs ogres as the new skull pass.
Anybody remember the WD where a guys entire chaos army was kitbashes and his centigors were diaz daemonettes torsos on chaos hound bodies?
>>96904793I'm doing my own MDF, I've been using small boxes and trinkets I made that are 10+ yo.Be sure to varnish it (particularly if you live in a humid place) and don't use force against particularly weak places and you're set.
>>96904894seems weird to put custodes in a starter box for the game with 18 marine flavours
Gather young beastlings for a tale of your ancestor...
>>96904915>seems weird to put [gold marines flavour] in a starter box for the game with 18 marine flavoursnot really
>>96904933Never had a Gor of such girth been sighted before.
>>96904939The scourge of Sheffield roamed far and wide.
>>96904943The vile Skaven believed they could best him
>>96904947But his horns were mighty and his girth undeniable!When you paint your Gors tonight children think of our dearly departed elder Beastman.
>>96904934Point is that by releasing a non marine starterbox in your game with a 99% marine playerbase is going to hamper that starter box for no reason at all. All of this isn't really relevant either because they had their starter box a few months ago
>>96904984its HH as long as its waacshit they dont care about anything else.
bringing it back when GW?
lol?
>>96905010beastdoes look like that?!?
>>96904691dey brown at da bottom and get lighter up top

>>96905095what if you play multiple factions?
>>96905192are your factions creepy or wet?
>>96905207I play Beastmen, Ogres and Tombkings they are creepy.
>>96905214>He plays wet factions.
Thoughts on Warped Gors both on the tabletop and as GW making a sheet for a kitbash unit?
>>96904793TTCombat's mdf terrain is annoying to paint if you want it to look like your image. Airbrush or cans 100% necessary, and you'll want to add texture to the buildings with additional pieces or like sand or somethingIf you're doing some 40k shit that just needs a base color with some drybrushing and sponging it's quite good.
>>96904684I crammed mine to my next list, will be playing wild herd next.>>96904690I think people like to use skirmishers on trays because the skirmish formation is so fiddly. Ain't nobody got time to move hordes of dudes invidually. Just tell your opponent that these guys are skirmishers.
>>96904774Wtf I thought that shit was the size of a dragon
>>96905494Its a mutant deer mate.
So whats the sell on a Wild Herd? the ungors with spear means more rows can attack but you are giving up wounds and strength in return?
>>96905494Yeah, no
>>96905307GW doing profiles for units without models again is a step in the right, only having profiles for existing miniatures is crippling every gw system
>>96905207They are Chinese and Egyptian
>>96905637Imagine Imperial Agents if 40k wasn't tourneyshit nowadays and they could join the narrative chads.
>>96904793>cardboardugh no, the thinner ones will slide around when you so much as think about them wrong (the 3mm thick ones are basically pre-printed weaker MDF so choose your poison)>MDFnice and hella sturdy, but also drinks paint like nobody's business, so has to be sealed with thinned PVA or something first.
>>96905433so simple paintjob, so nice
Big announcement for TOW this weekend is Dogs of War, mostly new plastics + I think all the current DoW units but not sure, they're not directly bringing back the old ones but there's rules for a unit of Undead lead by a Vampire and also Witch Hunters for some reason. Also it looks like the AoS ogre bulls are being used as the models for Badlands Ogre bulls too (maybe this is where the Ogre AJ rumours are coming from). No Cathay third wave (yet), but some more Norsca stuff like a Shaman dude and also returning Forgeworld stuff (don't know what though).
>>96905808lol
>>96905095>seething lardass jealous of DEchadsGet on the treadmill, fattie
>>96905808Badly crafted
>>96905564I assume you mean primal warherd. Ungors are cheap extra wounds. Primal warherd is also close order unlike regular gors or ungors. Being a massive brick makes it easier to double outnumber your enemy and make them flee.
>>96905808>no cathay third wave>can literally see cathay rockets in the promo vidback to the drawing board bucko
>>96905808>No Cathay third waveTrue, because it will be the second wave.
>>96905808You tried. You really did. And that's what counts.
Anyone expecting cathay wave 2 and maybe an ogre journal with nothing new in it bar an army of infamy for young greasus are setting themselves up for disappointment.
>>96904768>how for back?Right now, it goes as back as WD #284 (August 2003). >all languages?Only the UK issues, in English, sad to say.Also, the other anon is exaggerating a tad on the extent that some stuff is removed. it's mainly aesthetic changes or variations.
>>96906290oops, wrong pic.
>>96905808fake and gay
>>96905808>Also it looks like the AoS ogre bulls are
Is there some specific reason why some night goblins have a eye symbol or is it just rule of cool?I get the moon because it represents the night but the eye seems kinda random.
>>96906506it's a leftover from when they were EVEN MORE blatant ripoffs of tolkiennowadays it's the cruel glare of either the bad moon or evil sun, which they think is evil specifically because its light hurts them, since, again, they're tolkien ripoffs deep down
>>96905433Love your Preytons colors how did you paint it?
WFG belongs to the beastmen
i wish i was a billionaire so i could paint and hobby all da time and not do gay bullshit like work or i wish i lived in the old world id be a cool soldier or something and die in a cool battle :-Ddd
>>96906675You could whore yourself out with an anime avatar, voicechanger and girly gloves and hobby all you want while simps throw money at you for painting more.

>>96901692>>96901739Reminder that canonically:>The WHFB world is a planet in the 40k universe>Sigmar is one the lost Primarchs>The inhabitants of the WHFB world are outstandingly tough, which is a subtle effect of the whole world being permeated by the winds of magic>This is why they can go toe-to-toe with the daemons flowing out of the polar gates, which are the exact same ones that usually require high-tech weaponry to be dealt withI stress again that this isa)100% canon (every GW attempt to later retcon this is to be regarded as purely fanfiction)b) You are encouraged to pit 40k against WHFB armies (use WHFB rules and treat all 40k units as skirmishers), representing 40k forces fending for themselves after crash landing there
>>96907315>>The WHFB world is a planet in the 40k universecorrect>>Sigmar is one the lost Primarchsincorrect >>The inhabitants of the WHFB world are outstandingly tough, which is a subtle effect of the whole world being permeated by the winds of magiccorrect, but not outstandingly so>>This is why they can go toe-to-toe with the daemons flowing out of the polar gates, which are the exact same ones that usually require high-tech weaponry to be dealt withincorrect, that's because chaos is a relative enemy, like a shadow
>>96904684In the 3 games I've used it, 2 times I had won before it came in on turn 3, and the last game I used it to eat a charge to save my general, so not exactly what it's supposed to do anyway. I like it, but next time I use it I won't ambush with it I think.
>>96905433Skirmishers on trays is losing over half the value of their movement. Being able to wrap around chariots (when relevant), objects, terrain, or screen multiple units is very useful.>>96905564Primal herd basically got fucked by the infantry change. If they had done pic they would be amazing, but now they are an extra expensive core tax that dies a bit slower to ranged attacks.Also give back Raider god damnit!
>>96907392>incorrect, that's because chaos is a relative enemy, like a shadowNTA, was one he replied to, but relativety is a point in WFB's favour for toughness. Daemons have two permanent warp rifts feeding them in WFB so their grasp on reality is much stronger there than in 40k, meaning they're harder to banish.
>>96907520From the 40k perspective, Malus is technically a daemon world.
>>96903738it seems decent to me, outriders in core, can take bombards, lots of shooting
>>96907617Yes, which shows you even Marines a big pussy babies compared to the likes of a bretonnian serf.
>>96905307very fun from a hobbyist pov but their rules are half done and the unit itself is overcosted. 2x a normal Gor is too much, you’re better off taking 2 Gors

>>96908357The fat one isn't playing Ogres you goof
>>96908201I don't really expect their plastic kits to get an updateI think they would do far better by making plastic grail knights and maybe plastic hippogriffs riders than redoing kotr and peasantsmaybe redoing pegasi might be worth it
>>96908357Did you even read it lad? he already had a succulent bacon butty.
>>96908201I feel like a plastic Grail Knight/Questing Knight duel kit and a plastic Hippogryph kit would be the smartest things to update for Bretonnia.
>>96905147hot
>>96908560That's was after he bought the army not during his game against the skaven rats.Did YOU even read?
>Talking with a former GW trade sales manager at a convention this weekend.>Turns out the US design studio was shut down because The General's Compendium outsold every single other book besides the CRB for 6th edition and Nottingham was jealous.Imagine how much better off Fantasy would be if GW wasn't pants on head retarded.
>>96908201We need plastic Grail/Questing Knights, plastic Damsels and a new Hippogryph. I feel like the new WHQ hero started as a Damsel prototype and then the TOW team noped the fuck out when they saw her face.Also if they feel compelled to make female Brettonian Knights, make them Unicorn Knights so we at least get a new Rare monstrous cavalry pick.
>>96908966>The General's CompendiumIt was probably too good a deal for GW to handle
>>96908201I feel like its extremely obvious that knights of the realm, pegasus knights and men at arms wont get an update this edition as they are models in the core starter sets that they still currently sell. Same goes for the various ancient tomb kings skeleton units. Its easy to just stop producing the old marauder kit and let it sell out but dropping the editions starter sets mid edition seems ludicrously unlikely.I think it is possible that grail/questing knights get a refresh but realistically I think its unlikely well get much in the way of bretonnia until next edition, and even then its not like theyll be in the starter so I wouldnt be hoping for much soon.My absolute pipe dream I wish would be true but doubt it will be - next editions starter is a refresh box that includes new empire state troops and knights vs orc and goblin refresh. I feel like that would actually sell well with new sculpts and be very good for the popularity and health of the game (everyone loves to face orcs or empire).I would say it would seem to make sense to out chaos in a starter set at some point but given the new marauders are a big new release and I really doubt warriors and knights will get a resculpt I just dont see what they would put in it as "new models" that would be a draw for the set.This is all assuming they actually are planning on large amounts of new model releases in the future, I mean sure warcry used to get a new plastic box of different themed naked guys with shivs every few months that no one bought but old world or lotr getting regular new plastics? God forbid.
>>96909112>lotrI mean i say this respectfully, but who is still playing that? The movie bombed and I dont think anyone actually likes the crossover models of rohan or whatever
>>96909159Honestly I dropped it and I know a few others who were longtime players who did as well. Used to have a really healthy community with new players joining and large regular events. Its not dead in my area at all but it definitely doesnt feel like its growing.The new editions core rules are fantastic, it basically covers all the complaints everyone had of the previous edition but unfortunately the switch to only using legendary legions for army lists is god awful, they basically have killed any listbuilding and are terribly balanced, some are absurdly powerful and others are just garbage. It really is amazing that someone can design them so poorly, the imbalance is so obvious.Moreso the problem with it is that its obvious GW just has it on life support and is basically just trickling in the absolute bare minimum of new sculpts to keep it afloat while releasing new plastic kits for a half dozen random specialist games that all die and are discontinued within a year or two of being released.People will keep playing lotr just as they did for the decade or so where it was basically not supported at all after the hobbit movies but I cant see it going anywhere dynamic anytime soon.
>>96908966Sounds dumb, why would they feel jealous if it's ultimately still making them money? unless the budgets are split relative to the department's sales just like the current retardation going on tearing apart the 40k and hh ranges and the aos and tow ranges
>>96909307They thought the idea of making a book that was just rules without one of their stupid little story campaigns would flop and let the US team do it because it'd be a small project that wouldn't amount to anything like a White Dwarf compilation. Once it started selling out every run they got mad because they thought British should be in charge of main Warhammer rules.Typical British ego. My brother had worked a retail job at GW around the same time so he and the guy were commiserating how the Brits would make absolutely retarded business decisions and refuse to take advice from Americans about doing business in Amercia. Like the first West Coast GW store being in an outlet mall over 40 minutes away from Seattle because "they got such a good deal on rent". Or the entire reason they switched to the "store run by a single manager who has to close during lunch" model is because they did the same thing in Japan where stores have apartments on the second floor and somehow thought it would work in American strip malls.
>>96905095>tfw based beyond comprehensionBend over faggot, time to get pegged
>>96905207>BretonniaWet as fuck
>>96909438I can kinda get a British company being stuck in their ways and not changing to American retail, but taking inspiration from Japanese store structures for American stores is even more baffling
>>96906733I would be a dorf scholar writing manifestos on how much I hate the other races and why they're inferior
>>96909284I did like that the new MESBG AJ did have an entire section dedicated to making terrain and converting models, I wish more GW books had those.
>>96909438Reminder this company is not maliciously run, it is retardedly run. Schizos are giving them too much credit. The /pol/ theories about them all being leftie faggots who hate their own settings is 100% true though
>>96900893why is he wearing short shorts? thats kind gay.
>>96909750>The /pol/ theories about them all being leftie faggots who hate their own settings is 100% true thoughthat's just the blacked library writers, they're to be ignored with prejudice
>>96905095The only based factions are EMPIRE and VAMPIRE COUNTS Runner up are SKAVEN and ORCS Mid tier is WARRIORS OF CHAOS and HIGH ELVESShit tier is DWARVES ALL other factions can be completely removed the WARHAMMER FANTASY and no one would notice. The factions mentioned above ARE classic Warhammer and the quintessential armies, the entire lore and setting revolves around them. Everyone else is useless freak shit and redundant shit to sell more models
>>96908201They just got a refresh in Blood Bowl….
>>96909112I feel like refreshes will be a slow process in TOW. Having a system for using the old models is definitely part of the appeal, but gosh those new Marauders look nice. They’ll run out of old models to re-release eventually.
>>96910084you cannot talk about what's quintessential to warhammer and then put generic undead above the original hobbyist faction that is chaoshistorical proxies with fantasy elements are part of the foundationstolkien ripoffs like orcs, elves and dwarfs are part of the foundationschaos with all the options for conversions are part of the foundations skaven are perhaps the most truly original and iconic faction while lizards and the conquest of the new world have been genre defining and surprisingly the first explored part of itundead are generic filler haphazardly slapped on because it felt obligatory to include them and because skeletons are cool, but don't kid yourself about their importance, they're like a holiday special, everything has one, but it doesn't matter
>>96910168Yeah I think a lot of commentators are waaaay too enthusiastic about what new marauders means. I am absolutely sure theyre gonna start refreshing a lot of very old miniatures but I think its going to be a real slow process and its going to be in bits and pieces rather than entire range refreshes.
Were dragon ogres in warriors of chaos in 8th? Also how do they compare to mortal skull crushers?
can't believe you guys ignored the shitter screenshot trans brettonians ragebait but fell for the uppity beastfaggots poor excuse for ragebait
>>96910343rage bait? Anon we're mature about identity politics here. Anyways it IS a decent question to rummage through.
>>96910084marinefag tier mentality
>>96910379kinda explains why I got annoyed with the post. Also side post, can I just say I fucking hate empire art? Like I love Karl, but it always felt out of place sometimes. His chaos depictions however, perfection.
When people say "Dogs of War army" and "Dogs of War miniatures" and they mean a slew of Regiments of Renown instead of something like this I do seethe a little, yes.
Does satyr art studio stuff actually rank well with oldhammer minis? Did they get the scale right?

It's my first time painting gold trim on dwarves and I want to kill myself
I'm looking into finally putting my AoS beastman army on squares so I can play a better game with them, why does the shaman have two base sizes listed (25mm and 30mm)? Do I just get to choose and my opponent has to deal with it?
>>96910621There’s “technically” different Shaman models available, I imagine you pick the one your guy fits on the best.
>>96910265Chaostard coping. VC are the coolest WHFB faction along with empire, and it's really not up for debate
>>96910891>le humans are kulll!!!! Necharchs are the closest thing to kino from vampire cunts and its solely because they are so psychology different from most humans. Everything else? As forgettable as zombies.
>>96910932>NOOOO WHERE IS MY FREAK SHIT?!?Back to /aosg/
>>96911022>le fantasy game can not have its FANTASY elements go back perry fag.
Look, let people have their full gonzo insanity. But also let others their male human fighters and princesses in the towers of dragons.
>>96910265Chaos was literally "Our Runequest license expired. Let's relabled broo as beastmen" followed by "Let's rip off Michael Moorcock"
there isn't a single bad faction in wfb. vampire counts are cool, and so is chaos.my least favourite is high elves but even then they are more interesting than most elves in other settings and i like their models.there isn't a single good faction in aos or 40k.
