>>96943521I'd rather get tied up to a Flux-Cairn and keep *changing* till I grow feathers from my arse, thank toy very much you fucking generate.
>>96943521Go away stinky fat man.Only one being is divine enough to be worth of my worship
Bit early for a new thread innit.Anyway, nurgle never really appealed to me all that much, but this new knightly thing they've got going on is slowly winning me over.It'll depend on the prices I suppose
>>96943371>>96943585
>>96943521I'm really not big on Nurgle aesthetic. If it leaned more and disease and decay it might be more interesting but this super happy :) peepoo bullshit just doesn't do it for me
>540 shops in NA selling the limited edition box Now that the dust has settled, why did the HoH flop?
you're really desperate to evade our filters huh
>>96943624Forgot pic.
>>96943615What comic has rufus made?
NTA but do some people financially benefit from Helsmiths doing well? What’s with all the corporate shilling for them here?
>>96943621>If it leaned more and disease and decayAnon I have news to tell you
>>96943655Doesn't everyone have GW stock? We know more than most how it only grows every year
If anything the maggotkin looking SO good only highlights how dogshit the HoH look
Baffling how hard it’s to find it, but where can I get some “official” colour schemes for Skaven clans? The big four are easy to find, but all the other ones often are not consistent.
>>96943693absolutely mindbroken lmao
>>96943700Enough time has passed, you can stop pretending
>>96943696old world clans but here
>>96943693This is just what you get for picking a Chaos patron who's not one of the Big 5
>>96943651mostly Historical comics for the Franco-Belgium market, like Sigurd and Vigdis or Virginia.
>>96943720But skaven mog all 4 chaos cult armies?
>>96943655>>96943719>>96943693Sorry that everybody filtered your spamposts :(
I think that at the end of the day, cards on the table flat. People like the idea of Helsmiths more so than the actual Helsmiths
>>96943729That's why I said Big 5
>>96943741This. SO much this
>>96943741They literally just had to do this and everyone would have been happy.
>>96943719Even better, thanks anon
>>96943741I think that's the case for most armys, but it's nice for the people who like them.
>>96943757They are being saved for TOW
>>96943521I prefer blood and violence over disease and obesity.Sorry, friend.
>>96943741I have never played those guys in Fantasy, but I imagine there are people out there who are disgruntled by the fact we got “Chaos Dwarfs” instead of Chorfs they remembered
Chorf fans hate LoA LoA fans hate HoH On and on
>>96943773I've got both armys now! Yayyyyyyyy.I haven't decided how to do my infantry half yet I mostly just grabbed that weird starter box with Khul alongside some extra wrathmongers and skullreapers. I have no idea what to get for the rest.
>>96943825I do hate the forge world models, the centaurs especially.
>>96943521>TQsigned, sealed, delivered. I like the new stuff pretty well but I think the blightkings are a minor downgrade
>>96943767no, they aren't
>>96943834I think they are a sidegrade. I really need to see the kit in order to determine it. But I'm a nurgle in armour guy over body horror.
Why so much shit on Helsmiths? They dont look bad to me...
>>96943880It's all one obsessed canadian spamming and ban-evading, just ignore him
>>96943834I got 10 of 'em already so I don't feel like I'm gonna need more with how elite nurgle is. It's a good time.
>>96943521>TQMaggotkin are already my jam.
>>96943862>But I'm a nurgle in armour guy over body horror.So you don't actually like chaos.
>>96943906>CHAOS IS LE ONE TING DA DINGanon you're retarded
>>96943905I'm gonna finish basing my glotkin once my resin pour water comes in... THEN i'm painting the rest of my army.
>>96943906The Chaos gods are pretty stuck in their ruts, anonNurgle especially doesn't do different very often.
>>96943905I will miss those dudes no doubt. Great paintjob, anon.
>wow all the Nurgle stuff in the quest box looks awesome>wait they are adding more Nurgle stuff?>wait where is all the other stuff
>>96943952Monday articles. They had to put everything at the backseat because they would also be forced to show off the female custodians, and they dont want that to be blown up live.
>>96943960Monday's article is going to be ultramaines they already said so in the 500 Worlds preview article
>>96943880there is literally just 1 guy trolling the thread ad nauseum, and it wont be over until the mods range ban his whole fucking country or something
>>96943960As funny as that would be I don't think that's happening.
does anyone have the blades of khorne battletome for 4e? I need to look at the art real quick
>>96943974did they? was it mentioned it would be days exclusive to them?
>>96944020No, but they generally do reveals on Monday and they said they will reveal why Titus is the second captain again next week
>>96944037oh
>>96944012This is the one new piece to take note of.
>>96944066>Lumineth terrain piece in the background>water has turned to bloodCorn kino
>>96944066This is genuinely great. Saving this as my wallpaper, thanks bro.
>>96944066is that the forgeworld bloodthirster in the bg?
>>96944066>the sunmetal weapons are white-hot >Sentinels sniping from the shrines>decapitated Warden front and centerGod damn, artist COOKED.>>96944084Hell yeah.
>>96944066Savage... But perfect.
>>96944126Indeed. I hope GW hires Vincenzo Pratticò to do more shit in the future. He's clearly got a knack for illustrating these mid-battle scenes. There's a great frantic, brutal energy in these scenes.
I am really considering starting collecting Nurgle with these new releases, but i'm not super into the standard green skin tone they do. Do you guys have any ideias for different options for them?
>>96944239Have you considered painting them smurfy blue?
>>96944239Could just do them in standard skintones and glaze the infected parts lightly.
>>96944239yellow or orche colours
>>96944239I did mine in a pinkish undertones to pale to normal flesh.
>>96944239Just look up diabetes feet for inspiration.
>>96944239make them simpsons yellow
A gift from Grandpa Nurgle: the two Maggotkin PDFs, editions 1 and 3.files<dot>catbox<dot>moe slash gjgocw<dot>pdf - nurgle 1efiles<dot>catbox<dot>moe slash 56mz8b<dot>pdf - nurgle 3e
>>96944239I did my Maggotkin in a slapchop cel-shady type of style with exaggerated colors. You can do basically anything and it'll look good.
>>96944239i've been doing some that are more sallow greys, or raw bleeding pink flesh, or tan pock marked smallpox skin
>>96944254>>96944328>>96944380>>96944387>>96944438Would a pale skin tone with a red glaze and blood on the infected and open parts look nice with the rusty copper armor?
>>96943834Damn well painted nurgle instead of the normal contrast/shade slop jobs that use 'its nurgle' as an excuse to be lazy and slobby.
>>96944460Here's a better shot of the red one
>>96944462Go for it, hard to fuck up nurgle
Haven't touched the game since 3rd came out and the formation thing turned me off, is it still around or army building different?
>>96944580Yet you still found a way, impressive
>>96943880Well for me I really just wanted to see cool daemon engines and guns and I didn't get those
>>96944638The regiment system isn't that bad. Pick a hero, put units in. It's a bit of a hassle at times, but it's not the worst thing. It can encourage a lot of drops when you want to keep around 2-3 if you care about first turns or don't need a bunch of heroes like Cities does.
>>96943880They look about how I figured they would. Honestly a bit better than I expected. Still kinda AoS-ified, but much better than they could've been.
>>96944705I just dislike it. It's clunky and I don't like the game revolving around pre-deployment. Might as well flip a coin at that point.
I don't like the total and utter lack of insectoid mutations in the new nurgle models>>96944710Genuine, not hostile question: You actually figured that they would totally lack chaos iconography? That came as a shock to me.
>>96944580Post ur spume he looks sick
>>96944716I didn't figure anything, just that they would look like shit. They don't blow my mind, but I wouldn't call them shit. Compared to how the Fyreslayers were handled the Helsmiths are practically restrained. Maybe too restrained. But they aren't bad sculpts, mostly.
>>96944705>The regiment system isn't that bad.Yeah, if you have a sizeable roster with options.Smaller armies get stuck with almost set builds.
>>96944745And in a game where most units are decently balanced, creating a system where battles could potentially be decided in list creation 40k style seems insane. It's like they're trying to invent a reason to make the game worse. Having drops decide first turn initiative sounds okay, but it's really just something that could be solved with a rol of a die. And used to be, perfectly well I might add.
>>96944462That sounds a little like what I did with mine. I'd say go for it
>>96944066Man the artists GW hires nowadays are so so much worse than the artists we had in the mid 2000's
>>96944656Das mean.>>96944720Here ya go!
Think this guy is about done
>>96945330Here’s the back. Gonna work on these 2 blood crushers I got leftover from my khorne spearhead.
>>96945330>>96945332>>96944867(You)s for all of you
>>96945425preciated anon, and now to start batch painting my blight kings while trying to remember the fucking scheme I used.
>>96945332>>96945330That's a very good looking rat!.
>>96944867Thanks anon, he qt. Rust is very tasteful and not overdone>>96945330Naisu
>>96945610I've been learning the proper means of doing rust and pallid skin as I go! Spume is a neat little model. (Even if I worry he might be on the way out depending on how GW is feeling for the coming battletome)
I will make a prediction. One with a high dose of copium. Tzeentch will get greater pink demons from the silver tower box set retooled to become full kits. WITH THIS BEING SAID, the same will be done for the important vyrkos stuff for soulblight next edition.
>>96945702Here's MY predictioninfantry kit
>>96945702I don't wanna sound negative but I doubt it, unless GW is really cool and if darkwater sells well they realize they could do short term reprints of old quest boxes and make bank.
>>96945702Pity hero with a 5 3/3/-1/2 melee profile
>>96945746They already do it with KT.
I think Tzeentch will get another wave eventually, acolytes being bottom tier jobbers into what I imagine will be more abstract and strange chaos warrior types. A unit of weird reject mutants and spawn that maybe explode when they die would be fun. Seems primarily like they're pushing for mortals in AOS (at least for now) they did all the refreshed and named greater daemons, probably delaying redoing the daemon kits unless its gonna be all at once. Truth be told I'm more hoping Idoneth and Fyreslayers get some more shit. (I'm glad all the factions I like got new shit this year so I feel dreadful at the "2nd wave" for idoneth being 2 foot heroes and a fucking spell, even if the spell is sick as fuck)
>>96945831I still think Tzeentch knights should have lots of cloth and stuff like Soulsborne knights. Think about it>Khornespiky and hard, practically a living bulldozer>SlaaneshSo ornate it'll flashbang you from the shininess before they abbreviate your body>NurgleRound and hard but bursting at the seams from the bloat and rot>TzeentchFlowing cloth on armor, billowing with the winds of change
>>96945702Yeah you can't retool that mould, it's got way too much random stuff on it. Retooling a mould costs the exact same as cutting a fresh new one.
>>96946092lol
>>96945895Not a bad idea, would be properly culty too. I could see it work.
>>96946092
>>96946010The silver tower “pink daemon” is just a normal pink horror anyway, they already have that. I know it’s a dual kit with pink horrors with very little deviation between the two options, but still
Is this a boy or a girl?
>>96946236fishelfcould be either on the day of your fancy
>nu boole storytelling After Garaktormun, never have I witnessed tragedy of such magnitude. What in Grungni's name befell our kins on the volcano?Listen well, son. The doom of Barak-Urbaz — remember you that? This was no different. A rolling fire curtain of rocket barrages laid down in carpet bombing pattern, followed by wave-type assaults of thaggoraki swarming the volcanic slopes. They breached the Magmaholds, already shattered by bombardment and rad-waste. Blood and screaming... everywhere.Are we to stand idle while our kins are butchered? If we watch from the skies as thaggoraki slaughter them, this fate will be ours soon enough!Negative, son. We're powerless. They turned away our ancestors' pleas during the Age of Chaos! Left them to die! We ceased being kins long ago. The Khazalid Empires' glory is dust! Their downfall? Foolishness. Rigidity. Clinging to old ways — demanding all realms-leaders gather in one location! A single strike wiped the slate clean.But intelligence reports suggest Grungni's return! How could he permit this?Stow that talk, lad. Where those city-dwelling kins went is above our clearance. Forget it!I have intel! Valaya, Gazul, Grombrindal, Thorgrim — the Ancestor Gods are active! They'll rise in the mountains and reinforce our volcanic kins! Halt your speculation! Their Vulkite Berzerkers! All their leaders — all lying cold on the earth! Only the Ancestor Gods can extract them now!Hold on — contacts emerging from the mountain range. Green-uniformed formations. Are those our kins?
>>96946236>fluff all about namarti uprisings, seeing them as the true form of the idoneth>look inside>rules that buff akheliansStill mad>>96946263>thorgrimIf they HAVE to bring back whfb characters making thorgrim an ancestor god is not the worst thing in the world. Didn't they mention a tallyer of grudges in the chorf battletome? Guess that's not a mystery anymore>another green fire scheme for dorfsLel imagine. I guess it might just be Lofnir though.
>>96946236She has tits
>>96946248>>96946274>>96946278So those are tits and not just a paint scheme/trick? I noticed this creature is a they/them.
>>96946289It’s honestly kind of hard to tell from even looking at the sprue, but yeah I think they do have breasts
>>96946263I fucking hate this ESL larper, it’s increasingly clear he’s talking like this because he’s only got vague info and some images of models, he’s just acting like a Batman villain because he doesn’t know details and wants to pretend he does as part of his schtick
How the fuck do I get vines, thrones ones, to stick onto a miniature? I’m looking for something appropriate to at least potentially fit on the new blightkings antlers.
>>96946302Yeah thanks. I watched some painting tutorials and it appears to be a female. The more you know. My curiosity has been satisfied.
>>96946320I mean they aren't a lady or a man, they're also a fictional character. There is no secret 'real' gender
>>96946325There are two genders. I was curious which one it was for this fictional character. I have my answer. Simple as.
>>96946327the fictional character is a third gender, they're also a magic elf who lives under the sea
>>96946346I have no idea what you want.
>>96946236girl
>>96946318>thrones onesThe fuck is a throne vine?
>>96946411I assume he meant thorned?
new morning new booleshit
>>96946428fuck off, thorgrim did not randomly become an ancestor god, and just never got mentioned at all in the last 10 years of aos. leave him dead, he brings nothing
>>96946428vulkites and pity heroes squatted evidently nothing new really
>>96946439he was infused with the wind of metal during the end times, that would have made his soul reasonably powerful enough to be brought back, grugni forged grombrindal back from nothing as wellbut yeah, they should use new characters instead of digging up the old ones
>>96946428About 2 hours late buddy>>96946439The hashut battletome kinda teased him already unfortunately
>>96946453I guess, it mentioned a grudge-counting ancestor god and a lady of caves or some shit like that, but that just means it'll be all the normal ancestor gods + this boring shitter + a new one, which sucks. Either make them all new or all deep cuts, dont randomly toss one guy in there
>>96946170I always thought he was technically a herald cause he was so big, but I never flipped through any of the tzeentch fluff
>>96946466Iirc its>hashut>grungni>grimnir>valaya>gazul>wanderer (=grombrindal)>tallyer (=throgrim)>mistress of glittering caves (unknown)Giving us 8 ancestor gods. I like the addition of some new ones to get to that 8 number, but they really shouldnt have wasted two 'slots' on grombrindal and bringing back thorgrim. Especially since more than half the roster were already whfb transplants. Curious about the mistress of the caves though, sounds breddy cool.
>>96946486Grombrindal at least has been around in aos forever and has some really fucking good novels that've come out in the last couple years, along with an event model. Him being considered a full ancestor god makes sense to me
We sure this isn't jsut 40k tard interpreting fantasy models through his secondary only knowladge?Remember when someone """leaked'"" Quirtake will be back in the Skaven remake, but in reality it was jsut generic hero wearing red armor
>>96946494it's possible, but still it means he saw something that either is or looks like thorgrim
>>96946236It's not male, nor is it female, it's non-binary. I have no proof, but I also have no doubts.
Is this jsut generic faces or is his sword amde out of Stormcast helmets?
>>96946511She's either a female or he's a male. She's clearly a female.
>>96946514Those are Necrons.
>>96946494Probably, that's been the case for basically everything else he's talked about so far. Just look at his leaks about darkwater vs what we actually got, it's all 'right' in the sense you can see his list of shit and assume what meant what with hindsight, but he makes a lot of claims that obviously turned out not to be fully true because he made a lot of assumptions
>>96946494He messed up shit when it came to 40k leaks as well.
>>96946517i think you're retarded if you see a fictional character who doesn't have a gender and think it secretly has one that the creators are hiding from you. I don't see a robot or teclis' moon elemental, some fantasy thing thats referred to by they/them, and assume they secretly have a cock tucked somewhere for me, as the audience, to find.
>>969464868 ancestor gods? Do you have any lore source for that? I am truly curious. It would be cool but how is GW going to truly explore 8 different duardin gods.
>>96946511it's a girl
>>96946573Isn't it just from 8 winds?
>>96946563She's an elf with boobs, she's a female.
>>96946440The pitt heroes stay besides the grimwrath and doomseeker
>>96946573nta but the last two are first mentioned in the recent helsmiths battletome, which also calles grombrindal one of them. 5+3 = 8
>>96946573nta, but all of these gods are mentioned in the Hashtut batletome.
>>96946486there's no need to reach the number, there have always been a multitude of ancestor gods, it's just that most aren't nearly as important as grugni, grimnir and valaya
>>96946453Oh yeah? What did it say?Duardin afterlives are prominent in lit, if he returns as an ancestor spirit it'd be kino ngl
>>96946589The Hashtut tome only makes a vague reference to a "Tallier of Grudges" when listing off ancestor gods. So it doesn't explicitly say Thorgrim, but there's no one else that fits the title really. Boole's rumor outright says it'll be Thorgrim. so just closing the loop really.
>more boole cock sucking even though he gets everything wrong anyone could've guessed nurgle would get armoured guys cmon where's the 10 cathay kits and OBR chariot?
>>96943639What app
>>96946494Boole seems to also be a tow (fake?)grog, I think he would recognize thorgrim. He did with festus after all.>>96946573>>96946588Either in the chorf tome or one of the preceding hashut articles it talked about how the ancestor gods were deciding on how to split the realms between them, with hashut ending up with the realm of beasts. In another lore blurb it mentions hashut seething at the big 3 + gazul, and then the 3 other ancestor gods who were given nicknames (wanderer, tallyer of grudges, mistress of the caves). I think it's fair to say that there's 8 "major" ancestor gods then. Though there's probably a fair few demigod dorfs out there too, like the six smiths of grungni and such.
>>96946628>He did with festus after allspeaking of the nurgle releases, he definitely has the names of the units as well, and not just pictures, because there's no way someone looks at this and correctly goes "they're the replacement for putrid blightkings" rather than calling them a new unitoh and he also name dropped the new demon prince's name, so he must have access to the accompanying publications, considering he's ESL he's probably some chink involved in the printing process
>>96946563no one cares, it's a girl
What's the best army to start collecting for someone new? Not Stormcast.
>>96946652One of the things he keeps talking about is a rando skaven eshin character, he has some amount of info like that. Given what he says about the other nurgle shit though, he 100% just assumed the new armored guys were new blightkings, rather than knowing about the new naked blightkings. He kept talking about how everything was so much more heavily armored, i think even making the comparison to the current blightkings
>>96946628If anything that means he has a cognitive bias and is more likely to misinterprate things as wfb shit
>>96946678Stor...>Not StormcastStD, also known as evil stormcast. Or green stormcast (ironjawz)
>>96946679>he 100% just assumed the new armored guys were new blightkingsno, he called those "blood warriors but nurgle"
I really don't like the new Blightkings and that the new combat unit is a horde blob rather than elite.
>>96946678the idea of a "beginner's army" is a myth, start with the one faction you actually like the most and either plan your first purchase around a sample to see whether you actually like painting that faction (like a single unit, character or underworlds band) or a discounted bundle to make a cheapish core of your collection
>>96946691Ironjawz could work. Most stores still have their old Battleforce.>>96946699So like a Spearhead then maybe? What armies are fun to play?
>>96946652No, he probably thought the Templars were Blightkings and these are the sexy armoured guys
>>96946724>>96946678Read the core book and figure out how the game plays. Decide for yourself after that by reading the warscrolls and such on wahapedia Or just buy what you like the look of?
>>96946678I'm a nogames but painting-wise Seraphon are pretty easy to paint and they look pretty damn good with just contrast+drybrush.
>>96946724>fun to play?what kind of playstyle are you after? most of the spearheads are pretty fun, except fyreslayers and lumineth which are both pretty one note all infantry boxes. pretty much every army is fun, and can be built multiple ways. only ones i would say to outright avoid as a new player due to sheer jankyness of their playstyle would be kharadron, sylvaneth, kruleboyz and hedonites, though if one of those armies really strikes you, nothing in this game is so janky that it cant be learned by a new player, those ones just have some added learning curve and goofy interactions compared to other armies4th edition simplified most armies in the game to the point that almost every army is operating on a somewhat similar level of complexity in regards to its mechanics now. there are a few that are easier, like ironjawz, seraphon or slaves to darkness, but not drastically more so, and i wouldnt let rules put you off of a model range if it really is your jam. if you're going to eventually spend $400 on plastic soldiers you damn well better like how they look, cause you're gonna get real familiar with em as you spend dozens of hours painting them up. a spearhead would be an ideal start, its a large and complete enough box that you can play right away, the spearhead game mode is fast and fun, but its also bite sized enough that its not too intimidating to hobby. battleforces can work too but they arent tailored to the spearhead game mode so you may not be able to use them right away, some of them can be a bit compositionally skewed
>>96946678idk ask chatgpt retard
>>96946797fag
>>96946797>dont ask about age of sigmar in the age of sigmar general threadfuck off faggot
>>96946764Those were in the "other armoured stuff" or something like that, he listed blightkings and blightkings we got, he also listed names and even fluff, considering he got the name of the demon prince and that the worm witch was 3 people fused together, and it's not exactly immediate to see all 3 even with a clear view of the model.
>>96946694He made no distinction between the darkwater shit and the full new kits, I don't think he fully knew what was what
>>96943521>Why have you not accepted your grandfathers embrace yet?If there's a big box on launch with Festus and some other guys in it, sure. Speaking of, what are the odds of that happening? Do we know anything about the launch time/boxes yet?
>>96946807He called the worm witch a "nurgle realmgore ritualist" as if it was a generic unit and not a board game character
>>96946780I know more or less how the game goes just not too familiar with playstyles of particular armies.>>96946789Seraphon are a consideration as well as they look fun to paint. Maybe they are a good excuse to try contrast paints. Them and Deepkin.>>96946795Thanks anon. So Spearhead it is. Main armies I am considering are Ironjawz (but I don't like the lanky Orks), Seraphon, Idoneth Deepkin, Cities of Sigmar, Soulblight Gravelords and Helmsmiths of Hashut. Damn some those faction names are tiring to type. I would also consider Gloomspite Gitz based on models but I'm not a fan of horde armies. Oh yeah, ghosts are nice as well.>>96946797Noted.
>>96946830if you're not a fan of horde armies, i would pass on gloomspite and probably ghosts and soulblight, they tend to be hordes.from the other ones you listed-ironjawz: ironjawz are going to be a tough armored, big health bar melee bruiser army. they straddle the line between outright slow and medium speed. very high melee damage though its vulnerable to accuracy penalties. good armor all around, most units have a 3+ save which is nearly the best in the game. no shooting to speak of in the entire army. decent small support wizards and priests, and fighty melee leaders. probably the most rules lite army in the game, which can be both a blessing and a curse, they are easy to pick up and play, but can often find themselves wanting for more tools in the toolboxseraphon: a prime example of a well rounded army. it has every type of gameplay and unit you could want. slow tanky ones, fast zippy ones, big shooting units, high damage melee brawlers, spellcaster supremes, warlords on a melee monster, sneaky ambushers, everything. it can be tooled to virtually any playstyle and has almost no outright weaknesses, but can also build into crazy skew lists like all cavalry speed or all monster mash toodeepkin: the premier fast scalpel army. among the highest speeds in the game across multiple units. accurate, high damage precision attacks with a small footprint, and a good cast of supporting characters. its infantry can feel a bit left behind by the cavalry at times, and they have a vulnerability to magic and poison damage (mortal damage eats them alive). low body count can also make scoring points and holding objectives a challengecities of sigmar: your middle of the road basic humans, the army has a focus on combined arms, pairing its melee knights, ranged cannons/fusiliers, and supporting wizards, priests and commanders to hit the opponent from multiple angles at once. lacks outright damage and good stats, but makes up for it with lots of overlapping buffs
>>96946830>>96946870conthelsmits: newest kids on teh block, i dont have personal experience with them yet, but my read is that they are a traditional phalanx of shield wall infantry supported by long range artillery, medium range handcannons, and shorter range bruiser golems, with high damage but somewhat fragile melee centaurs to flank. all of this is supported by a cast of powerful wizards and priests, the army is overall fairly well armored but slow outside of a few key combos, and it plays a tight resource management game where it gets an allotment of points per turn to juice up your choice of one or two units with nitro, but can maybe feel a bit pillow fisted on the units that dont get the juice. looks like speed will be this armies achilles heel, which it will need to use its cavalry and artillery to judiciously supplement
>>96944745As an Idoneth player I fucking hate the new roster system because it disincentivizes bringing heroes and fucking 75% of our range is heroes.Eels spam until the end of days comes again I guess.
>>96946888tying drops to priority will never cease to be one of the biggest mistakes the writing team for this game continues to make.
can someone summarise how every army plays and how the spearhead differs?
>>96946910the spearheads for the most part do a pretty good job of being a microcosm of that armies playstyle. they translated them pretty well, i havent played any yet where i thought "damn, this is nothing like the actual army", and i own 8 armies
>>96946910>every armyBro just watch a youtube video or something at that point. If you narrowed down your interests we could help you a bit more.https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/wteZPXrg/every-faction-in-warhammer-age-of-sigmar-in-a-nutshell/
>>96946870>>96946884This is pure gold. Thank you anon!So it's going to be Seraphon or Idoneth.Thank you again, anon. I'm saving those posts.>>96946888By the time I'm done painting and building a whole army, editions will change. Actually, how long will the 4th edition last?
>>96946964Summer 2027. However if current patterns continue, 5th edition will not be too different from 4th
>>96946922>i own 8 armiesHow many points each?
>>96946981biggest is 6k, smallest is about 2.5k, most are somewhere in the middle

>>96947046THE LADY!
>>96947046Genuflect for the queen, lads.
>>96947046>>96947054While we're on the topic, I have mixed feelings concerning alarielle's model. It's two 10/10 models awkwardly slapped together to form a 5/10. Feels like some dude's conversion more than anything. Come to think of it, same goes for teclis and celennar. Makes me wonder if tyrion is going to show up with a phoenix or dragon or something.
>>96947059>tyrion is going to show up with a phoenix100%
>>96947059Tyrion with a Phoenix, Malerion with a Dragon
>>96947079>Malerion with a Dragonthe umbraneth don't have an animal pal, they have a shadow version of themselves, like morathi with the other morathimalerion is going to show up with himself and his monstrous shadow
>>96947085Would be cool as hell if the model actually had Malerion's shadow looming over him in the same pose
>>96947059>same goes for teclis and celennar.It's not a coincidence that they parallel each other. I recall it from some WD or WarCom article. Alarielle rides atop the beetle and that conveys a hierarchy, she's a queen and not an equal. Teclis and Celennar are juxtaposed next to each other, because theirs is a partnership of equals who strive for mutual understanding and harmonious coexistence.Obviously Morathi also has her own theme of duality going on. So it wouldn't come out of left field for any future aelf deity models to also be designed along similar lines.
>>96947091>>96947097Alright following on this>alarielle stands on top of her 'familiar'>teclis stands besides it>morathi split from it completely>malerion merges with it(Yes I know he didn't merge with his dragon you don't have to fucking tell me)I guess that would leave tyrion... to be 'under it'? The phoenix having control over him? Would parallell his end times arc but in aos if anything he's the chill brother.
Im trying to do a Zorne palette-esque mega boss here. I’m optimistic about the yellow armor, but I think I messed up on the skull. Since the entire model is going to be warm, I started with brown for the skull but it’s so goddamn huge that I got a bit overwhelmed. Would cold colors for the skull be better?
>>96947120I like it a lot so far as it is, you could give the skull some cooler shadowing +/or ensure the skin is a cool tone to balance things
>>96947117Maybe under it represents how he's the "down to earth" one, a divine being that is just as human (or elven) as his mortal followers? idk elf lore I just know shield and stab greenskin
>>96947120the skull itself is fine, i would just make the bindings that hold on on darker, like a brown leather or something
>>96947168Not a bad idea honestly>idk elf lore I just know shield and stab greenskinBased
>>96947085>>96947097I think kurnouth is going to be without a mount because his first thorn got there first, and alarielle has a second in command on foot, so to mirror her he is on foot while his second is on a mountthis is my aos elf gods bingo card
>>96947207The Deepkin one is pretty weak tbqh, they should get something better than a water avatar of khaine.
>>96947213They should get a yin yang androgynous fish elf with a harpoon
>>96947213deepkin as a faction is pretty weak, their god isn't even actually alivethey're included only for the sake of completionif they had to explore the faction further perhaps the eidolon of the storm could get a cthuluesque second in command, alongside a wave of fishmen servants and idoneth in luthor deep sea armor for the faction, while the eidolon of the sea could get a mermaid creature as second in command alongside an expansion of the idoneth with more noble stuff like tritons, mermaids, hippocampi chariots and more atlantis style stuff
>>96947226>their god isn't even actually aliveTeclis is alive
>>96947234The one that didn't try to kill them
>>96947240Tyrone?
>>96947234teclis is their creator, but not their god.
>>96947242*Tyrion
>>96947213>>96947226The eidolon not being alive is pretty cool though and one of my favourite things about them. I hope they keep it that way and don't actually bring mathlann back.As for new shit, the theorised idoneth centaur (ichtyocentaur ?) Idea from a few threads back was really cool. But as always with idoneth, you can make up 10 really cool unit ideas in 20 minutes, gw will just give them more heroes instead.
>>96947248To be fair those heroes are kino. Still waiting on Akhekian Heavy Crabalry and Akhelian Phalanx.
>>96947207>kurnouth is going to beLet's not. Belthanos is more than good enough as the frontman for the whole Kurnoth thing.
They should have a storyline (NOT DROPPED!!!) where a piece of Mathlann gets into some sea elf and they're like "WOAH GUYS I'M, LIKE, 2% GOD NOW!” and everyone's like "bullshit bruh" then they do a magic and everyone's like "HOLY CRAP IT'S REAL!"Also Sigmar is here say hi to Sigmar
>>96947266maybe, but I still think they're going to do a centerpiece for the orange centaurs and satyrs
>>96947270They should do it with the cunty prince turned king from the IDK novel.
>>96947266I wonder if the people asking for a Kurnoth model even know of any characters from Sylvaneth fluff besides the ones that already have a model.
>>96947207Huh, never realized that ayelphs have like 2 gods or godlike beings per faction. Probably not 100% intentional for some, like I don't think DoK was made with the intent to have half shadow elves half blood elves or Sylvs being half trees half furries.
>>96947279I wonder how Lurien's doing these days. The writers never did follow up on the war between Briomdar and Umothil.
>>96947207
Would you want hippocampus riders or ichtyosaurs?
>>96947357no lizards, the turtle was already somewhat of a mistake, but at least it offered something practical
>>96947334Context?
>>96947377Oh my mistake, I meant ichtyocentaurs, not ichtyosaurs. These guys.
>>96947389oh, then definitely centaurs, idoneth already have cavalry with the eels and a hero on a deepmare, having a second type of cavalry may end up overshadowing the precedent, with the tritons you get an infantry unit that's also conveniently fast enough to stay alongside the cavalry to maintain the playstyle of the akhelians
>>96947379Ikons of the Sea strive for harmony and spend most of their time meditating. By and large they're chill surfer bros.Ikons of the Storm are tortured antiheroes often motivated by personal tragedy and have set their mind on making that everyone else's problem.
>not even all of itMaggotkin eating disgustingly good these days.
>>96947435does it say somewhere more nurgle is coming?
>>96947435now it's all of it
>>96947266Sounds like cope.
>>96946628>In another lore blurb it mentions hashut seething at the big 3 + gazul, and then the 3 other ancestor gods who were given nicknames (wanderer, tallyer of grudges, mistress of the caves)I re-read the section, the way the sentence is structured I'm pretty sure the 3 nicknames are actually derogatory terms the chorfs use to refer to the Big 3 ancestors, not new ones that will get added.
>>96946678The correct answer is always the one you find most appealing.
>>96947467They've gone under the radar (obviously) but those little objective tokens are very cute
>>96947457No, just individually released sprues>This book also contains rules for using Nurgle's followers from Warhammer Quest: Darkwater – a new entry in the beloved board game series that was revealed at this very Preview Show. Gelgus Pust, his court of supporting characters, the Cankerborn, and Pox-wretches all join the carnival of corruption with their own warscrolls, and standalone boxes that will be released at a later date.
>>96947487Oh so you dont have to fomo the warquest box for the nurgle models? Neat.
>>96947476Hmmm, you got a pic?>>96947487>no templarsHuh, interesting. Are they rotsword sized or blight king sized? Might make for good characters, but still.
>>96947467Should the Path to Glory book also count? From the sound of it it will have some strongly Nurgle-themed content even if it's not exclusive to MoN.
Did they ever release a tut for this skintone?
>>96947091This. Have normal looking pre-crispy Malekith + shadow monster would be sick as fuck.
>>96947435I like how the warriors have weird choral-like growths on them. I figure it will make them fit well for Gutrot's crew.
>>96947304GW loves its dualitieswhy do you think they did cunning orcs to pair with brutal orcs, as well as sun goblins to pair with moon goblins?
>>96947504Not that I'm aware. Maybe on WH+
>>96947487eeehhh dont fall for it that shit will get squatted in an editions time; exactly like cursed city did
>>96947498you do need the warhammer quest for some of the models, but it's models that are most likely not going to have their warscrolls in the proper game.in any case warhammer quest boxsets are a good deal for whoever starts the army associated with them regardless, the separated sprues get overpriced as shit otherwise.
>>96947499>Hmmm, you got a pic?Sure
>>96943741I think it's rather we wanted cool Chorfs ala old world instead of diversity squad weird egg guns that we got. There are only a handful of the new Chorf models that actually look good, and theyve been stripped of all chaos and skulls motif so they are exceptionally bland looking.
>>96947509I assumed it was some cordyceps type thing, I wonder how the resident ocean nurgle guy feels about them
When is the Lizardmen novel out, and how gay will it be?
>>96947670Next weekend.
>‘The first and greatest victory is to conquer the thirst. There is no shame more vile than to be by the thirst conquered.’ Marcuccio grimaced. ‘Sir Gromdal wrote that. Words of honour. Not always did we match them.’>Whitebeard blinked. ‘Sir Gromdal, eh?’>‘You know of him?’>‘You might say so, aye. Knew him a long time ago.’ The duardin frowned. ‘Don’t recall him being a zanguzaz, though. Or a knight.’>‘He wrote of the thirst, and of honour. What else would he be but a knight?’>Whitebeard’s laughter rumbled. ‘Hard to argue with that sort of wisdom.’ He ran his free hand through his beard. ‘Something to what he wrote, of course. But, there’s more than one kind of thirst. We duardin were full of them, those thirsts. Still are, I suppose. Thirst for ale, thirst for gold – thirst for vengeance. Used to be, we thought we could hold back the world. Make it what it once was, when our holds ruled the mountains and the sea, and everything in between. Thought if we kept our ways like they once were, we’d be that way again. That was honour.’ He snorted. ‘So we said, at least.’>‘We knights value our tradition as well.’ Marcuccio’s eyes wandered back to Morgaw’s neck. He closed them. ‘And our vengeance.’>‘I can see why you liked Gromdal’s words then, ha!’ Whitebeard slapped a hand against the belly of his mail. The scales rattled. ‘Not for me, any more. Nowadays, I reckon honour is family. Clan. Protect them, give them a life better than the one you led. That’s honour enough.’>Marcuccio thought of his mortal family – long dead, he supposed. His conroi now too. His mouth twisted. ‘I’ve no clan, as it were.’
Does anyone have the Abrxia Novel would appreciate it
>>96947853forgot pic
>>96947853I think I have it, I have no clue how to fuck with catbox so give me a minute to fiddle with mega.
>>96947518The heroes maybe, but the base units stuck around. Also if or when they go legends I only hope the profiles dont become shit.The little vrykos squad from what I've tried feels like absolute garbage, like 9 wounds on basically no save with the most power being they move quick.
I unironically had a dream about Ushoran. In the dream I drank the kingsblood and became a FEC ghoul. I had sold my FEC models recently. Not sure what to make of this
>>96947880Did you keep any for the RoR? And did you have an Ushorann?
>>96947435
>>96947892No and no. I have a small Kruleboyz force (the Dominion box) I’m working on
>>96947853https://files dot fm/u/9fffrtkt6t
>>96947907You've repeated the slav knights twice
>>96947907I'm still debating... should I go for the rotswords (you guys didnt put those in) they look cool but I feel like adding 20 more infantry is rough when I already have daemons in that slot.
>>96947908Kruleboyz are cool, but maybe the RoR might be a fun investment.
>>96947912Thank you very much
>>96947907>Hammerhal Ghyra on the frontlinesFUCK OFF IT WAS THE LIVING CITY'S TIME TO SHINE
I wish OBR were real
>>96947907>pestigors >nu blight kings>wretches(?) >that entire spearhead>cankerborn thats kind of all I want from the new range. Its not that I think the rest are bad or anything, I just like spamming a bunch of annoying infantry, and the blightkings have enough of a presence more than any centerpiece. Dont know what im gonna do with hero's though...
>>96947939Everything but Hammerhal is getting destroyed to simplify CoS
>>96947907>path to gloryHang on that head is not in the cavalier set
>>96947973It's from the command corps surgeon.
>>96947967>mfw
>>96947973it's a conversion, a pretty cool and thematic one as well
>>96947967the capital cities of each realm are staying, it's just the excess cities from firestorm and the first season of war that are getting demolished, for some dumb reason.
>>96947960I'll be getting quest and seeing if I can reinforce my pestigors with questigors (since they'll probably be cheaper from 40k psychos reselling the rest of the box) and Festus. Maybe rot swords but realistically I've got more than 2k points in nurgle as is so I don't know if I need to spend more.
>>96947435>>96947467Nurgle bros rejoice because the army is looking better than ever (except maybe blightkings)
>>96948042Thru need Blightking heads to be 10/10 tbhon
>>96948042The new blight kings I think are fine, if not a 180 from what they had. I think my biggest gripe is the 2 won't match one another particularly well. But also if you have 10 blight kings already you're more or less set on blight kings. (10-20)
>>96947960>cankerbornMy biggest fear is them going the way of Radukhar's bodyguard ogors, a wicked sick model that then gets legends'd and not even with a good profile. I can see the little jobber dudes sticking around, and pestigors are already a unit, the daemon prince might get to stay in the same way Radukhar did but I am concerned for his little gang.
>>96947560Isn't Grombrindal supposed to be the Wanderer
>>96943905how you do the green armor fren
>>96948079yes
>>96948079maybe gotrek?
>>96943521Its insane that this decision got greenlighted.
>>96948042As a longtime nurgle enjoyer I'm pretty conflicted about most of it. Festus is not my thing (dislike named-character-only-kits) but he has the "classic" warhammer sculpt look. The rest of the new stuff looks like it could be coming from a different company. Not that any of it is bad (well, the horse riding guys and the blightkings are like Conquest-tier wonkiness in terms of details and posing) it's just like in it's own little celtic folk-horror microaesthetic that gels really well with the other releases in the batch but not with the existing range so much.
>>96948089It's been done before and it's honestly not a bad idea, I'm personally pretty excited since if it plays anything like Underworlds combined with no setup time I might be able to get my fucking friends to play this one. IF THEY PLAY THIS ONE THEY CAN PLAY THE OTHER 3!
>>96948074I think they said they would get their own dedicated seperate release. The sprue itself seemed to isolate them quite well also. But yeah the cursed city vyrkos stuff going away eneded up causing me to not pick up soulblight, which is a shame because the vyrkos asthetic made me like vampires more in aos than whatever whf were.
>>96948097>celtic folk-horror microaesthetic that gels really well with the other releases in the batch but not with the existing range so much.SBGL players had the same issue when cursed city came out, everything was pretty slavic in theme for awhile and lots of vrykos stuff. >>96948109It's possible but just consider for a moment that it's been done before and SBGL still got screwed over. GW might be cool but I think it's good to be a bit on edge with them.
>>96948089I think it's a neat idea, depends how well amde it will be
>>96947059I've always felt this way as well. Her model sucks, especially compared to Bel'thanos.
>>96947476>re-read the section, the way the sentence is structured I'm pretty sure the 3 nicknames are actually derogatory terms the chorfs use to refer to the Big 3 ancestors, not new ones that will get added.Doubt it. Four gods are named. But only three titles. Also the gender of the titles are not in the order of the gods named.White Dwarf is the Wanderer so it is likely that the other two are also different ancestors.My theory is the Tallier of Grudges is actually Thorgrim Grudgebearer.
>>96947059I think GW doesn't want some mega turbo powerful top tier unit that ISN'T a centerpiece for the faction. Imagine if stormcast and cities got an "avatar of Sigmar" as a unit and it's just like a little glowy ghostly Sigmar on foot and it cost like 25 bucks (foot hero price) or like 50ish bucks for a bigger foot hero.
>>96947907why didn't you put rotswords...
>>96948173They put the horses twice lel
>>96948009And it goes nicely on the cover.
>>96948129>SBGL players had the same issue when cursed city came out, everything was pretty slavic in theme True, but I felt like apart from aesthetic they read as warhammer-scaled-and-detailed sculpts, where I am not getting that from most of the new nurgle kits. It's funny because the "hero" side of the darkwater box does give the warhammer feel in terms of sculpt quality (and when I say quality I don't necessarily mean is it cool or does it look "good", just does it have that house style)
>>96948042these guys are underrated, but the artist should have pushed the theme further.
>>96948203>they read as warhammer-scaled-and-detailed sculptsI dont really get this.
>>96948042Anyone knows roughly when the new Nurgle stuff will be released? February?
>>96948216by the end of this month supposedly.
>>96947988>>96948009oh that's pretty cute.I guess there is some sovl left at nottingham after all
>>96948203I get what you're saying, when I saw those new horsemen having like... I don't know why this is my first thought but "Castlevania hunchbacks" felt off to me. You are right in that festus feels pretty good (He's my guaranteed get since I've been waiting for him to come back for ages) But the new nurgle stuff being very cloth focused with more blunt weapons is a big switch in looks.But yeah the quest box feels super warhammery compared to the other stuff, I'm so floored to pick those up.
>>96948216I'd guess early in January.
>>96948216>>96948219This Q is Darkwater, Nurgle wave (normal) might be next year
>>96948219Don't give me hope anon, that feels too soon.
>>96948244I might get him to paint even if I don't run him, the original is one of my faves
>>96948295I picked up Slimux and he will probably be run in battle like twice? But I liked the idea of making his little hoes into fishing hooks and adding a hooked chain onto his little hedgeclippers so he looks like a fisherman.I have no fucking clue what Festus is gonna do or how big he is, but damn I love festus and want that model.
>>96948105Doesn't the Gloomhaven book use a ring binder?
>>96947226>>96947248>>96947415
>>96948311It does, the saving grace here for GW is if they have the pages sewn instead of glued. If it's glue they're pants on head retarded and I'm converting this shit into a 3 ring binder.
Who did it better?
It's the Battleforces boxes next weekhttps://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/igr8gyao/sunday-preview-start-new-armies-in-a-flash-with-bountiful-battleforce-boxes/
Big box weekhttps://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/igr8gyao/sunday-preview-start-new-armies-in-a-flash-with-bountiful-battleforce-boxes/
>>96948295>works hard for 7777 years >demonhood is just being slightly bigger>random fuckpriest pledges to nurgle >full blown instant princehood
>>96948338Festus doesn't need all that fancy bulk and bullshit, he just wants to sit on his chair and make people drink things.
>>96948323This was Mengel right? such a good conversion
The new festus model is fucking dogshit, exemplifies everything wrong with AoS models. Just way too much going on.
>>96948356he seems relatively toned down to some of the shit i've seen, worst he's got is a few extra greebles and bottles. Other than that he seems fine.
>>96948330>>96948329Im looking forward to seeing the armies on parade desu. There was a time where I could be tempted to get the soulblight box but im gonna just wait to see where death is heading towards in 5th. Esp if that vampire coast themed faction rumor is real.
>>96948343Who gets to reach demonhood and how is still fucking bullshit
>>96948356Its easier to paint than anything cathay or tau have going on. Shit it might be the babys first centerpiece model desu.
>>96948329>>96948330Padding the Skryre box with Stormvermin instead of an actual Skryre unit pisses me off so much
>>96948387It's almost like the selection criteria are...chaotic?
>>96948390You're joking right? The sentinels are braindead to paint, need like 4 paints and it can all be drybrushed. Tau, at least the mechs, can get 90% of their paint job done with a primer spray (red or white).
>>96948408>The sentinels are braindead to paint,Shame about assembling them
>>96948408if you wanna be lazy about it yeah.
Did 'Eavy Metal massively step up their game between 2e and 4e or did they just go the extra mile on Vhordrai because he's a big fancy new model? I mean compare to the Blood Knights from just a few years ago, there's a much higher level of skill being applied to make him look like that.
>>96948423GW sticks to true metallic paint now is all. New metallic and new contrast paints
>>96948423I have no doubt that the eavy metal team was always capable of vhordrai, I think they usually are just mandated to paint in a very specific way. It's why their female faces suck so much, heavy aggressive highlights designed for uber masculine space marine faces are probably how it's written in the guidelines. But sometimes they let their painters off the leash for some reason. Look at some of the new nurgle stuff, golden demon tier in places.
>>96948459wonder if GW will do a full painting guide for Warhammer Quest models
>>96948330Everything aside from troggoth is so shit
>>96948459>golden demon is just using metal pigment paint
>>96948459I want to know what basecoat they used for that metal, because even if it’s tinted by contrasts, they don’t have a gold that bright that covers well enough to be a basecoat, and I think any of the silvers would desaturate the contrast paint.
>>96948476It'd be great to pick up another revenant draconith if you could pose it at all
>>96946830So traditionally the other posters would be correct in calling gsg horde, but the current way the badmoon abilities function actually make it better to run a little bit of everything. Sbgl are definitely horde, so unless you really like painting skeletons(which is a blast) you'll want to pass on them. Ironjawz are super elite and can end up even more elite if you want to spam pigs and big pigs.>those faction names are tiring to typeYou'll find there's a lot more use of abbreviations in aos than 40k
>>96948490you mean on the round medallions? I'm thinking it could just be a bright silver with some heavily diluted browns and tans washed on, with a little whisper of a wash of green/blue in the lower right for a suggestion of shadowing
>>96948338>7777 yearsis this the first time we've had an actual concrete amount of years for time passing in aos? Usually they're purposely vague using terms like 'eons ago' or whatever. So at least 7777 years since the age of chaos presumably?
>>96948606Only from the Age of Sigmar, which is like 150 years ago. They'll stop moving now that humans have so many named characters and even Stormcast can't realistically persist without rendering reforging safe
>>96948312KEK I chuckled but now seriously Idoneth are in a similar spot like Fyreslayers, yeah more player base, slightly bigger range but the truth is compared to other elf ranged they had been abandoned
>>96948356>too much going onwhen you, fags, will stop with this excuse for pointless cope? yeah aos models are detailed what’s wrong with that?
>>96948476B-B-but I don’t like Troggs anon…
>>96948338>7777 years to reach true daemon hoodIsn’t that too much? How much took Khul to did it? And how can even mortals dream of get the final gift from chaos if it takes fucking millenniums to achieve it?
>>96948387Someone should animate this
>>96948551I mean on the armor of the Blight Templars and just in general of the new Nurgle stuff. I can't think of a recipe using just GW paints that would be similar off the top of my head.
>>96948312Fucking hilarious.t. IDKanon
>>96948606Age of Sigmar lasts for only a few 100 years and Age of Chaos didn't reach full 1000. The only true unknown is Age of Myth
Anyone know a decent gloss? I've got my nurgle guys painted but since I usually drybrush the last layer of skin they're not as... smooth and shiny as I'd like.
>>96948724It's not the same for everyone. For Khul it took over 600 years. For Festus it took considerably longer. For others it's taken far less.
>>96948724Dude is a slacker, if you work hard you get your reward earlier that’s why Chaos is best GA.
>>96948779Oh I see. The effect might not even be contrast, it's achievable with regular paint at glaze consistency. Regardless of the type of paint used, the process wouldn't be a "recipe" as much as technique. Check out some of Richard Grey's videos on youtube for an idea of how similar finishes are approached without metallics
>>96948916Oh, I know about Richard. Went back and watched the trailers. They're definitely painted with metallics. What I'm saying is, knowing that EM has to stick to GW paints or at least use something they could directly reference with a GW equivalent, I can't think off the top of my head of a combination or technique they'd be using to get that sickly metal color. Would be hilarious if they had their own new colored metallics coming out hot on the heels of Vallejo's new range.
>>96948916I feel like showing someone who doesn't understand glazing a richard gray tutorial is like showing an uncontacted tribesman a cell phone
>>96948978 oh yeah in this pic you can really see the shine for sure, fair enough!
>>96948338Nurgle is dyslexic and misread priest
>>96944066Mystery of the Druids
>>96949107>
I will concede one fucking thing to the old world, they had more "animations" and a voice over reel for cathay. I don't particularity like Miao yings voice actor ( she sounds bad, too try hardy), but its more than what got shown off for the new maggotkin stuff, and I so desperately want to hear a voice over for maggotkin, or even just some art.
>>96949150The AoS marketing seems just so phoned in. Panning shots and buttrock or generic fantasy music. At least the mini photography is good, but it's the only real part of the trailers with effort.
>>96949160>At least the mini photography is goodalmost as if that's the part that actually sells models
>>96949150I miss this kind of trailers for factions reveals. They were awesome.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UJhyEHSh9DU&time_continue=0&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2F&embeds_referring_origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com
>>96949160We HAD good marketing, but they did away with it in 4e. Stuff like the slaanesh trailer fucking gives me goosebumps still, hell even the old glotkin videos is awsome for giving you a sense of world building for the maggotkin. I HOPE whatever duardin gets in the future it has a bunch of marketing put on it.
>>96948476It should be 6 Fellwaters not Rockguts but yeah
>>96949150For old times' sake.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Pkbh6pUGac
>>96949196Ever since that came out this is the voice of Nurgle for mehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btEpF334Rtc
It feels bad knowing the 8e Maggotkin stuff is guaranteed to be in a Bonesplitterz situation. They'll squat or refresh them at some point and sales plummeting as people catch on will only accelerate that
>>96949212half the people in this board will be dead before 6e even gets a trailer.
>>96949212Is the fate of everything OW related.I’m still waiting for the end of generic dwarfs and the remnants of elves.
>>96949226Jokes on you we're moving to two year editions
>The flock of Sigmar the Unfaithful encroaches upon our flyblown land! Our Prince of Sores, pestilence be upon him, has issued a call to arms to repel these invaders. To arms, brothers-in-sickness! This month's public bread is provided by the Brotherhood of Pustuled Hands. The Brotherhood uses only the most rancid flour for breadmaking. True Rotbringer bread for true Rotbringers!
>>96949150I think they stopped doing animated slideshow teasers because they wanted to front the miniatures instead.
What stuff is limited edition in the Warhammer Quest box for the Nurgle side? I know some stuff will get alt kits or alt versions.
>>96949423Pestigors and Kelpies
>>96949430Fuck, I dont mind waiting for the other stuff but I prefer that pestigor kit for model variety when used alongside the ones not locked to that box. At least the blight Templars arent limited then.
>>96949423The heroes which you can proxy as NOTHING HAHA FUCK YOUspeaking of, do they have presculpted bases?
>>96949455>Im using the stuff for WoC in ToW
They really butchered AoA in 4th edition. The worst part is having to use up all your points which results in compromising your original vision for the character. >>96949455Cities and Sylvaneth will get AoA with their battletomes tbf
>>96949264wondering how much these will cost, and what the options will be. Current blightkings are slightly more than 50 yuros / 60 burgers, but obviously come with a truckload of bits
>>96949264What's the dicotomy between these and old blightkings? Just the robes? For me they look as an upgrade, same with Festus.
>>96949594>dicotomyI don't think that's the word you were looking for.
>>96949423>Gelgus Pust, his court of supporting characters, the Cankerborn, and Pox-wretches all join the carnival of corruption with their own warscrolls, and standalone boxes that will be released at a later date.So according to this there is no mention of Pestigors, Mire Kelpies and possibly even the Blight Templars.
>>96949667I figure the templars could go as blightlords anyway.
Well that's different.
>>96948606festus is from the old world, and we don't know how much of that time was in some time dilated dimension like the realm of chaos, or whether he's ascended recently or a long time ago, it's an useless number for us, unfortunately.
>>96949741doesn't really work
>>96949822How do you figure?
>>96949842Spite Revs don't even have a unit musician
>>96949594They're a lot more subtle than the old ones, way less mutated. Also a fair bit less cartoony. They've got more of a warrior monk prophet kinda thing going on now.
>>96949842spites are spiteful, but this one isn't being spiteful towards a fleshbag, but another forest spirit, and to make music, which isn't exactly what a spite is spiteful foralternatively a forest spirit may fashion itself into a living instrument for the sake of harmony, but in this case the spirit that's an instrument is in apparent pain/submission, not harmonybest I can imagine out of that sculpt would be to paint the body that makes the harp like a leftover wooden exoskeleton discarded by a spirit that would be emerging from the back and play the harp harmony, cycle of life, no pain involved
>>96949196Ya know I for some reason was under the impression he had a heavy southern drawl
>>96948476If I had started with gitz, I definetly would have jumped on the trogg box. 1800 points and you sell Trug for another box of trogs or some other support unit for an easy 500$ 2k list.
>>96949741I agree with >>96949822, this doesn't work. One revenant being twisted into a harp and played by another doesn't fit Sylvaneth. A better conversion would have the Warsong revenant, or anther unit with a better pose for playing the harp, and the harp would either just be made of vines and tree stuff or a strange looking bug creature, maybe an upside down insect with the legs being the strings or something. The spirit on spirit violence feels too cruel for sylvaneth.
>>96950199It's fine, the harp-revenant consented. They're having fun.
>>96949741didn't even do a headswap?
>>96949741This is fucked up. You shouldnt follow vegetables anon, your heart belongs to Chaos.
>>96949985All sylvaneth make music and spite-revenants specifically make really angry and discomforting music. It's a huge part of the faction's fluff.
>>96950222He doesn't look like he's having fun...
>>96950452He's soaking in the music.
>>96950199>a nippleMOOOOOOOOOODS
>>96950459
Do mages work differently in Aos than whf?
>>96950830Yes, in AoS (it’s not literally written but heavily implied) that being gay is what gives you magical powers. The gayer you are the stronger your spells. A lot of us think this is just pandering but old heads say it’s always been this way.
>>96950841I see, I’m sure your spells would pack quite an oomph
You know one thing that could have been fun to see in last edition would have been an updated version of Malign Sorcery. Titled Savage Sorcery or something to stick with the edition theme. If instead of Season of War: Thondia there had been a book about flavoring different spells or realm rules to keep them in line with the ongoing narrative, I think that'd have gone over way better and had more staying power.
Estrogen pills have really been eating into the SCE budget!
>>96951001I wish they would update the spell models to actually look interesting and not just really boring shit. I'd much rather 3d print or proxy something else than ever buy the generic spells.
>>96951001I'm not sure they really do experiments like that anymore.
