>>97030028The lore on this dude is that he love corrupting that which is pure.
>>97030028>tqPosting dirb
I need simple basing ideas for my skavenI'm doing scorched earth for my HoH already so don't want to repeat thatI'm leaning just grass flocking and scattered stones/mud
>>97030666Desert or Snow.Simple cardstock tiles for Urban.Depends how much work you want to put into them I know it'll be a ton of rats.
>watching a battle report live>LRL vs HoH>after 1:30h this is the state of the battlefieldHoly shit how boring.
>>97030748Either 90% shooting or nobody wants to get charged?
>>97030666Chamon or Hysh basing with strangely colored geometric stones or crystals
Speaking of basing, I have a Shadowstalker warband and idk how to base them if I plan on making them grey & gold. I don't want to remove them from their base and make like a tiled floor because they're flimsy and I'm paranoid
>>97030720I've already done urban and winter on my main two 40k armies>>97030818chamon isn't a bad idea, was going to paint my rats up like an offbrand clan ferrik so it'd fit
>>97030761unless I'm mistaken by the top of the units, neither seem like particularly shooting heavy lists. I would have thought chorf artillery would force a charge from LRL but I guess not? Aside from annointed sentinals, which I don't think is what those bulls are, do HoH have any good anticharge? It feels like the LRL player has some incentive to set up a charge, especially with two sharks.
>>97030761>>97030929After over 2 hours in, painfully slow.
>>97030894I like their default color scheme, but to each their own. If your going grey gold, doing a white marble with gold flecks seems like the obvious choice. > I don't want to remove them from their base and make like a tiled floor because they're flimsy and I'm paranoidIf you glued them to the base, you can chuck em in the freezer and use a hobby knife to cut through the bottoms.
>>97030748>>97030943I actually tuned in at the beginning and decided against watching because I wanted to hard focus on painting.
>>97031016It's a surprisingly good quality battle report. It's just that it started so fucking slow. I was curious about HoH and it seems like Bull Centaur spam with screens and objective holders is the way to go.
Why is this Archangel looking nigga just a Knight Azyros and not a Lord Azyros?
They're ruining Krethusas plotline and reintroducing Hoeth for lumineth.
Convince me not to impulse buy the Sylvaneth spearhead The fall leaves were in full swing until recently and the kurnothi hunters look cool so I want to see what they’re like to paint seasonally.
>>97031163>Convince me not to impulse buy the Sylvaneth spearheadThe longer you wait the cheaper you will able to buy it for. That is the worst box out of any box this year for any system.
>>97030929the spear infantry has anti-charge (+1 rend) and anti-cavalry (+1 rend)
>>97031195and they die to a breeze
>>97031198eh, 1 wound but they can defensively spike if they have DPP giving them the 5+ ward. it's just enough to make a cautious player hesitate
>>97031210Honestly each time I see them in a battle report they all die as soon as they are charged and that redditor who went to a GT with HoH said the same thing.
>>97031176I think you mean the battleforceYes that box is mostly dryads and revs (the revs are okay) but I’m not spending that much for mostly chaff and 2 heroes. Everyone says the spearhead is one of the best ones ever made akin to the GSC and grey knights old combat patrols It would mostly be to paint and then expand upon if sylvaneth ever gets druids or shapeshifters like we see in dark water
>>97031255>Everyone says the spearhead is one of the best ones ever made akin to the GSC and grey knights old combat patrolsIts not that good but it is neat. Id argue that the spearhead equivalents of that are the old maggotkin one, maybe vampires old one, and the gitmob one. That being said its fine if you're looking to just play spearhead. Playing the army fully has been kinda awkward historically, and you need like 3 boxes of the terrain.
If I paint my models shitty I will in fact blame my brushes.
>>97030666Do shyish basing and makes them a cool dark purple drybrushed blue
>>97031110I was under the impression he reforged too many times and is crazy
>>97031385No, he's fine. It's the Reclusians who are the borderline automata sociopaths. He's just a dude with a lantern. I once thought he had no legs and was half ghost but he does in fact have legs.
>>97031110This model becomes so much more stupid when you realize he has legs still.
>>97031417>stupidHe's awesome and universally loved. What are you on?
>>97031422I mean he's a cool model, just a bit less imposing when you see his little legs. I was under the impression he was more of an angelic robe thing.
>>97030666>>97030904Fuck off o&tfag
>>97031445Oh hey, I actually like this model now, I thought he was some weird legless ghost man for no reason
>>97031571I unironically like him more as well now that I know he has legs.
>>97031445>>97031393It's weird they gave him legs but they're so hidden on the model that there's no point to them. I guess you could still cut them off and use greenstuff to make a little djinni cloud bottom thing instead.>>97031163I haven't seen a good fall themed sylvaneth army yet, they're all pretty low effort yellow and orange leaves mostly. I do wish some weeb would have the balls to make cherry blossom themed set. I think it could look really good, especially the spirits if painted with a whitepink gradient
>>97031163You can buy most of this from stormbringer if you're in the US, 12 dollars a kit (24 for the treelord) and kurnothi hunters seperate for less than you'd spend on the spearhead.
Can an anon with better brain power than me see on this sprue if there's 8 bodies? I'm trying to figure out if I can have some leftover bits to make bestigors into pestigors (at least 2)
>>97031589Cherry blossom sylvaneth are extremely common anon, check google>>97031605The first part of the treelord kit has been sold out for a bit unfortunately. Still a great option to pick up a bunch of sylvaneth units for roughly $17 each if you are in the US though
>>97031649When's the last 10 parts of the magazine dropping I want Skumdrekk for cheapo
>>97031634Why not post the whole thing? Looks like 8 bodies on the full sprue.
>>97031589>cherry blossom themed setI've seen probably 20 times the amount of Sakura sylvaneth armies than I have any other colour besides the classic brown and green. Autumn isn't much more creative but sakura is the most smoothbrain shit and screams "I didn't look up any tree references for my tree army but I know the anime ones"
>>97031656I mean 4 bodies. There's one more sprue like that in the box for a total of 8
>>97031634>>97031656Why are you retards still doing this we've seen everything already. What is this telling you that we didn't already know
>>97031660100% agree, the birch themed ones are pretty sick
>>97031589I like Halloween Sylvaneth
>>97031717oh that's badass.
>>97031717I usually recoil at Halloween colors but this one actually looks really nice and the silhouettes of sylvaneth already jagged and spiky.
new Rumors>Sentinels Of Embergard:>Jorvan Kreel – Heir Of The Kraken>Mallus Forgepriest (a battlepriest bearing a massive polearm warhammer, a mask shrouds his visage)>10 Freeguild Gallants (knights afoot, encased head-to-toe in plate, bearing shield and blade)>10 Freeguild Grenadiers (clad in full panoply of war, all cloaked, armed with melee weapons and firearms — among them the one called Cindergout, wielding a mighty flamethrower)
>>97031882>Cogfort will release in 2026>CoS will get Cogfort and Faction Terrain>Cogfort model will exceed the scale of Mega-Gargants>You may need four Cogforts for list building
>>97031882>Jorvan Kreel – Heir Of The KrakenSounds familiar
>>97031843>I usually recoil at Halloween colorsAre you an eastern european nun?
I really want to get into Tzeentch, but I feel like I have to wait for a refresh. I like the aesthetic, but I don't want to buy units that will become obsolete. What are some units that you guys think are reasonably safe?
>>97031948All the post-Silver tower units. So Gors, kairics, mini demons.Fatemaster or whatever that armored guy on the disc was called is on borrowed time
>>97031843Orange and black are a fantastic color combo
>>97031897>exceed the scale of mega-gargantsthat would be cool but I highly doubt GW would be willing (or capable) of balancing something that massive in a chaff-heavy army.>ogor warhulkthat model is so cool>>97031970>>97031924I'm American so every time I see orange and black I immediately think of Halloween decorations and Jack-o-lanterns. Even small businesses and especially grocery stores love to put up decorations and erect displays. Brands will change their packaging and beverage bottles/cans to look Halloween-y. It's everywhere for those 6-7 weeks of the year.I'm not saying the colors look bad together, but their permanent association with Halloween in my mind has kind of ruined it for me. Being from los angeles I also can't look at purple and yellow without thinking of the Lakers basketball team. Kind of like how people see light blue, white, and pink and think of transgenders now.
>>97031948pretty much just the demons are something to be wary about unless 40k lays claim on tzaangors.
I need some fucking pixels on this thing
>>97031326>use a cheap piece of crap synthetic brush for most of my painting even on fine areas>takes me ages due to constant overspill>say fuck it and start using a sable brush for everything besides basecoats>models look awesome and take less timeIt could very well be the fault of your tools anon.
>>97032026>This pic's had multiple Freeguild commanders, several dozen Freeguild troops, a super cannon, flamethrowers, and heavy gatling guns
>>97031948>>97031965I don't think people are ready for how incredible the Tzeentch and especially Khorne refreshes are going to be.>new bloodletters>new bloodreavers>new blood warriors>new wrathmonger double kit>possibly new skullcrusher/bloodcrusher double kit>BIG dick ascended Khul>maybe new Standalone skarbrand or multi-build bloodthirsterKhorne had their big moment a decade ago and their due for a wave refresh.People shit on tzaangors and pink horrors a lot (undeservedly IMO) but they will get a nice glow-up. >new gors>idk about kairic acolytes since they seem fine>new flamers, seekers, and horrors>new magister on foot or foot mortal wizard (possibly an ascended Kairic acolyte)>possibly new chaos warrior equivalent similar to curseling with mutations and feathered armor>new chariot and blue scribes (or any of the old finecast kits, really) If the upcoming nurgle wave is a sign of things to come, they're really going to knock it out of the park with Khorne and tzeentch. It seems they're striving for symmetry with each chaos god (mortal chaff, chaos warrior equivalent, chosen equivalent, cavalry).Also I've liked kairic acolytes since I first saw them but I never had a reason or chance to get them cheap. I recently found a listing for 10 at about 25 USD so I'm happy to finally get some.
>>97032074Nurgle wave refreshed 1 end times kit Anon they're not going to remake 3 2018 Tzaangor kits
>>97031306>>97031589>>97031649>>97031660thanks for your opinions and insight>sakura sylvaneth this is probably the most common among all paint schemes I've seen online for sylvaneth and the west has been assaulted with so much Japanese crap that it's getting really sickening. I would rather not even paint them then make them pink.
>>97031660>>97032098Cherry blossom Sylvaneth looks unironically good though. It's cool if you don't like pink of course. But if you don't go for it because some strangers on the internet already did that you're a massive faggot, you will most likely never see another pink trees irl.
has anyone played games using the soggy loonsmasher fanatics? Are they fun?i like the idea of having these wrecking balls hiding amongst my legions of shitters
>TQsure>>97031717That purple skin looks great, I might do something similar for my remaining revs
Do you think Warhammer will suddenly go out of fashion and crash like funkopop?
>>97032150We weren't talking about seeing pink trees in real life, we were talking about the frequency that you see sakura armies as the original anon had stated he'd seen none. He probably finds it interesting because he hasn't seen many, most of us in the hobby have seen it enough times at this point that it's no longer as interesting as another colour might be. It's no different than stonecast eternals, painting non ghosts as ghosts, or other popular paint schemes. It's not bad because it's popular, it's just not an exciting thing for most of us.
How do fluffy darkoath forces actually play on the table? I don't mean StD with darkoath to screen or hold obj. I mean a dedicated thematic darkoath army. I heard their spearhead is squishy and not very hard hitting. Even if they are not strong in their own battle formation, do the at least have fun or engaging rules? I would be tempted to collect them if they didn't look so AIDS to paint and transport. They're cool in concept, but painting 40-50 chaff with lots of detail and random tchotchke's all over them that die in 1 combat phase sounds like hell. They're also expensive on top of that, unfortunately.I salute that one anon that painted the KISS themed darkoath.
>>97032074>If the upcoming nurgle wave is a sign of things to comeit's not, tzeentch will stay the worst range in the game for more years and khorne will lose more than it updates
>>97032228>I would be tempted to collect them>lists 20 reasons he doesn't want to collect themI think you answered your own question anon, I don't think you want a darkoath army
>>97032210Funkos lost licences to relevant IPs. GW won't lose licence to itself
It’s amazing how much better the model would be if she just didn’t open her fucking mouth.
>>97032210It's not a flavour of the month.There will be a Plateau as some people will transition in if it trends then out again, but I think due to what mini wargaming is, it will be a small group and the core will be those who just like the hobby and stick around
>>97032210You know to be absolutely honest I'm kinda surprised it's still relevant enough to grow every year. I don't think wargaming and painting miniatures is that appealing to zoomies and alphas and I feel like there should be less and less boomers and millenials in the hobby as time goes on.
Just want to say, I love Morathi
>>97032291schnozzle >captcha: goyny
>>97032304Sounds like krethusa will too.
Im once again asking for the slaanesh tome ,pretty please.
So when I can buy Dark water in the store?
>>97032411they're gonna cut it close but it would be dumb for GW to not make it available before christmas
>>97031417I'm with you, I like the idea of a more ghostly angelic type stormcast. In general gw should get more non-human with their non-humans. See also obr and sylvaneth.
>>97032411Last time they sold out instsntly and had to do a made to order 4 months later it's hard to say. Well see how many they
>>97032026Is that a cogfort? I have no idea what I'm eeving looking at. Be funny if he was just trolling though.
>>97032411I already have it. They don't show it but there's a reward for completing a full 5 act quest and it's so cool and awesome and I'm not gonna show it to you
>>97032026you can't make this shit up
>>97032018>that would be cool but I highly doubt GW would be willing (or capable) of balancing something that massive in a chaff-heavy army.I think all GAs are going to get upscaled models
>>97032386Nobody plays slaanesh, I'm sorry anon but that one's going to be harder to find than others. There's a guy that has all the tomes that sometimes is around, you just gotta get lucky.>>97032493I was under the impression that the cogfort would be open to all alliances as a sort of RoR deal, similar to the gargants. I guess it's a good way to ensure your bigass expensive models have as wide of an appeal as possible, kind of like how knights are useable in all imperial and chaos factions in 40k (I think)
>>97032474>cities of transma Yeah now it makes sense why they like steelhelms, they look just like them.
>>97032474>I HAVEN'T BEEN THIS HAPPY SINCE I GOT ON HRT LAST MONTH!!!!It's so fucking funny that like 10 years ago this would've been considered a shitpost but these people say it unironically
>>97032474lol reminds me of this one
>>97032546I feel I'm missing some context for this one
>>97032558>spam list is meta>spam list got nerfed
>>97032526I've been telling you for years that Dominion bombed because the intended audience spends its disposable income on HRT but you guys won't listen.
>>97032558there were a few months some yearsa ago where plasma inceptors were super undercosted and therefore busted, then they got hotfixed and all the meta-chasers got BTFO'd. I'm not a 40kfag so I'm sure another anon can explain it better
Anyone happens to have Thunderstrike & Other Stories EPUB?
>>97032304you'll have to share the book
>>97032613recap of the other random shit the guy is leaking
>>97032616the lineup for the new cos wave sounds good if they actually deliver on full armors
>>97032620
>OBR will get nothing again this editionboring
>>97032641There's a fuck ton of obr rumours anon what are you on about
>>97032641OBR do have rumors, that's simply a comment about what underworlds might be getting next
>>97032588I just remembered Siege of Greenspire has a Freeguild company with a duardin lieutenant. We can't have shit now.
>>97032687You can have your shit if you just convert it
>>97032620>elf hating special character with cat>warrior priest>collegiatepalooza of 3 wizards>foot knights unit>grenadiers unit>city gargant>cogfort>scenery it lines up with the size of the nurgle wave
>>97032831Hoping the foot knight unit delivers, the bear/fish arch knight is easily the best sculpt in that whole range.
Rough paint job for this skull crusher’s rider. I did the mount weeks ago and these guys are tedious but that’s khorne for you. Just did the rider and I think it looks good enough. All the tiny cracks and folds and crevices of the armor make washes go a long way. I think the spear head looks a bit odd so I may add some more wash or panel liner to the engravings. Either way I got 1 more of these fuckers and 7 blood reavers up next. Fielding a mortal heavy khorne force must be awful to paint.
>Grand Marshal Abraxia, Spear of the Everchosen>Frydaal the Chainmaker, Exalted Champion of ChaosWhich do you prefer and why?
>>97032958>mutant devil vs some dudeHow is this an argument?
>>97032974>some dudeThat's andronormative. Frydaal is a lass.
Who are the Pyrofane Cult of the Cities of Sigmar?
>>97032613That takes away the whole appeal about Krethusa except her feet
>>97032997Judgin by the recent WD? It's literally Pyrofane Cult, the same one
>>97032958Abraxia, because she got that cool monster mount.
>>97032958I like that Abraxias weapon talks to her and has a bit more personality than both of your picks have.
>>97033010Yeah it points to a hastily buried storyline by GW because they need to hustle everything along and soup Malerion in there. Lame.
speaking of krethusa does anyone have her dawnbringer book? I kinda wanna read the specifics on her character.
>>97032616>no droth cavHuh, seemed like a slam dunkThat being said have we had any indication that this dude is legit? I remember boole when he started posting got a corroboration from whitefang pretty quick but I haven't kept up with the rumours/credibility of this new guy.
>>97033083>but I haven't kept up with the rumours/credibility of this new guy.All the recent image leaks are from him, so he seems to have access to battletomes, at the very least.
I've been out of the loop for about two years---wanted to see if ogres got updated for 4e, but it looks like they don't even have a battletome? did they stop selling them for the less popular factions or are they waiting for the rumored refresh I've been hearing about?
>>97032997they're just your dudes potential
>>97031882>anvilgard box>it's mostly humansIt's almost guaranteed at this point
what does he even do
>>97033141He gives you a good excuse to convert up your own centrepiece model.
>>97033141Justify Gobsprakk's possitin in power and acts as his muscle
>>97031882>>Sentinels Of EmbergardOH MY FUCKING HELDENHAMMER I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE 15-MINUTE FREE CITY OF EMBERGARD PISS OFF AND GET VERMINDOOMED AGAIN
>>97032958>ChainmakerIs she a blacksmith?
>>97033132yeah but is any of it legit is what I'm wondering, he could just be slopping some pics and running it through a blur filter, how the fuck would we know. Unless some of his shit has been backed up by wf and boole or whatever.
>Dropping the DoK schism to rush mr mommy problems out the door
>>97033141Kragnos and the KB were such tonedeaf additions. And a weird as shit direction to take things in after 2e.
>>97033134Index edition brother, they're about halfway through the battletome's now.Rumours are pointing to a big ogre refresh in 4th, I think the previous thread even has a very blurry pic.
>>97033239Phil Kelly really wanted to be writing WHFB again, I suppose.
>>97033141cause autists on here to have a melty
>>97033241kragnos yes, KB no. krulez fit destruction perfectly well as a morky version of orruks
>>97033241I like kb, I just wish they had more internally to play with. They are probably my favorite incarnation of gorkin Mork. Though I’ll be honest it shifts between them and spits depending on my mood.
I still don’t understand what the fuck a reintroduction of hoeth means for lumineth. We already have blade lords who function virtually the same, and I don’t think the factions lacking wizards. I would have liked to see more river stuff.
>>97033286An elite unit & cavalry would be nice.
>>97032225>i wonder why nobody hobbyposts here anymore
>>97033301I don't understand why they'd need Hoeth instead of some deity native to the Mortal Realms or an aelementor or something.
WE'RE SO BACKhttps://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/u69fxnc8/the-hammerhal-herald-drink-to-your-good-health-with-aqua-ghyranis-from-the-jade-abbey/
>>97033301>>97033346You would think that Teclis is this cycle’s Hoeth with how they said the gods are “reborn”.
>>97033358LETS GOOO
>>97033346See >>97033251
>>97033346Because brooo don't you remember it's hoeth bro! From warhammer fantasy battles™, like we saw in total war: warhammer™ bro. No seriously gw's boner for just bringing back whfb characters and concepts is boring and annoying, not to mention in the case of lumineth also totally unneccesary as we have like 5 different enlightenment flavoured gods already.
>>97033083the new guy got boole confirming his potatocam ogre pictures were legitwe are all relying on that, for now
What're your weekend hobby plans? Mine are to finish enlarging a unit of leadbelchers and a unit of gluttons.
>>97033147This is the way
>>97033386Finsh assembling some kairircs along with my jade obelisks. Hopefully the weather permits me to prime one of em.
>>97033339I swapped to OPR so hobbyposting here doesn’t feel appropriate anymore unless it’s a GW model
>>97033386Hoping I can finish my Bladelords. Just have the gems, some touch ups on the metallics, shading the swords, and then bases.
>>97033382Well that's something at least.>>97033386>leadbelchersMy condolencesAlso those pants are cool, sculpt them yourself?
This is my dino, do you like him?
>>97033424Hes got some nice teeth.
>>97033424looks very similar to mine so yeah, I like it
>>97033424>saurus oldblood after charging straight into a tzeentchian portal
>>97033423Yeah I use the existing ogre thigh and sculpt extra pants around them to cover up the wires used in making these guys taller.
>>97033458>ogre thigh and sculpt extra pants around them to cover up the wires used in making these guys taller.very impressive man, I haven't been ballsy enough to do this level yet I mostly just rearrange joints and stuff but never full on limb work like this. Closest I did recently was a very poor and goopy Mannfred on Foot to match my Arkhan on foot. (Spilled some glue on his pants and now had to cover it up with a crotch drape but it's a bit more egregious than I'd want.)
>>97032622and even more
>>97033509Important to note that dok aren’t getting anything replaced as much as I want better posed sisters in garter belts.
>>97033409>i dont play aos so it feels wrong to post in /aosg/correct
>>97033346I think it would have been neat if Syar venerated Grungni or one/all of the Six Smiths. They're the designated artisan nation and have the peculiar trait (for knife-ears) of not being arrogant to the point where they can't recognize game. Their best stuff tends to look unassuming. Open arrogance and ostentatious displays are used as misdirection, because the Syar knows that is what people expect to see. Their relative humility could be an angle for making them recognize the good works of non-aelf gods.
>>97032474> Typical AoS enjoyer
>>97033509Man if Warcry somehow dies before Underworlds FUCKING IMAGINE. Not that Underworlds is really alive but still.
>>97033386got about 7 more of these bloodreavers to get through. i know I probably wont finish but progress will be made. these straps get so annoying
>>97033386I'm gonna be out catching a train to Chicago for a day trip and possible date if things go well. So unfortunately fucking nothing hobby wise, but I got my Skarbrand primed.

>>97033509>i was wondering if you had any information on the new Ossiarch stuff? Like the number of new kits and stuff?>1>1>5>10Genuinely what did he mean by this?1 character, another character/centrepiece, 5 man squad, 10 man squad?
>>97033643centerpiece named guy maybe non-named variation, another foot hero, unit of 5 probably some elite troop, unit of 10 jobbers. I'd bet, Chariot with Arkhan or Rando, whatever smokey hand foot hero guy is, I dunno... Some of those slightly bigger guys we saw from the warcry gang, and then 10 archers.
>>97033635The Ogre looks good but it's making those Gnoblars not look like absolute shit that is blowing me away here.
>>97033635This feels morally wrong but I like it. In the same way how eating a Twinkie baptized in syrup feels.
>>97033650The archers were implied to be Ushabti sized, while the other hinted unit was some kind of assassin, so I'd probably guess 5 man archers and 10 man infantry instead.
>>97033386Damn little millput does WORK.THIS NIGGA DOES WORK
>>97033635I'm blueDa ba dee da ba di
>>97033643most definitelyso 4 kits in total, one is the chariot, another is god knows what, and the other two must be what were described as not!bowshabti and not!ruststalkers>>97032666
>>97033346I assume it's purely because they're doing an "All the Elf Gods are back guys, holy shit!" thing, because absolutely no one on this planet has ever been hype for Hoeth. He's a non-entity. Probably he'll just help Teclis with the ass-cancer Nagash gave him or something.
>>97033585Underworlds getting pushed was so stupid
>>97033635>50% of TOW finalist runners-up were made from AoS kitsEvery year it's the same.
>>97033424Got anything new?
>>97033669something that must be noted is that not all gods are necessarily coming back as extremely important characters, krethusa as morai heg is a rather small entityperhaps this returned hoeth is going to be just some kind of special swordmaster character on foot
>>97033661Considering how finely sculpted all the new Slaanesh stuff is I feel like it's rare for them to appear as GD finalists. Dunno why that is.
>>97033677I liked underworlds but 2e was a real kick to the dick on GW's end and the game feels worse off because of it. It's already basically a dead man walking.
>>97033680literally just the troll hag, and that was heavily sculpted over
>>97033698And we STILL haven't left the Gnarlwood!
>>97033643>>97033650>>97033658the obr rumours i remember are arkhan, ushabti, chariot, and like an assasin thingy, like admech ruststalkers. So if I had to guess:>chariot arkhan(/generic dual build?)>foot character>5 man ushabti bows>10 man assassins
>>97033386It'd be better to start from scratch, just saw them off and sculpt your own This looks daft and fabric doesn't drape like that. Better to make sausages and give them landsknect slashed patterns to hide it if you're being lazy
>>97033698I just don't understand what GW is doing with UW, it's always been a mess, but their changes only ever make it worse. Like their totally random will they/won't they relationship with giving UW bands AoS rules only gets more contradictory by the day.
Fucking Harbinger of Decay will be in these until the end of time won't it.
>>97033680are they?TOW runners up seem to be two Resin models, a random Brettonian Foot Knight Model and a custom-built piece, which is the only one that could use AoS bits the other adhere pretty close to the GW builds
>>97033713I think as a standalone product Underworlds was good, you got some weird alternative hero or infantry sculpts and it was a neat little game. I feel like it got too mixed up since it was usable in warcry and AOS and GW tried to capitalize on it and then tried to separate the two. It feels like the child caught up in a perpetual pair of divorcing parents.2nd edition coming in after having left the game to rot for a bit and just converting the warbands that would have come out into "new warbands", removing all the card art, fucking with the rules and making it even more restrictive just bugs me.
>>97033717I mean it really is a beautiful kit
>Warcry warbands are rarely if ever in clean units of 5 or 10Do you think this is part of the reason why they nixed it?
>>97033720isn't this a slann body?
>>97033784no, it's just because they would have made the darkoath basic infantry sell WAY less
>>97033794most likely
>>97033784Why would a number 5 or 10 metter?
>>97032613>Krethusa's plot goes nowhereThis is another kragnos/era of the beat narrative rugpull, is the aos narrative team this shit on purpose?
>>97033860i think they're still recovering a ToW sized whole that got blown in their long term narrative plans
>>97033712Please do show me how to do it then.
>>97033860they were always going to share a battletome, what do you think they should have done? kept them at extreme odds and make that subfaction completely unable to field most of the models?
>>97033864Yeah, I'm starting to think that claiming the various legacy armies for AoS also obligated them to put something out for them all ASAP to show that they weren't just sitting on the IP uselessly.
>>97033887You can handle army mixing narratively without the solution being:>And then Krethusa grovels on the floor and licks Morathi's toes, "I'm so sorry my Queen, Krethusa whimpers, I'll do anything to show you how sorry I am...anything"It just completely destroys her character up to this point and makes her entire storyline a waste of time.
>>97033386>primaris ogres
>>97033409How does OPR fares to AoS ?Some people says it gets boring fast
>>97033902Aight but in this case who wouldn’t lick morathis feet. Shit I’d deep throat the entire lower half of the snakes tail if offered.
>>97033635A bit of an overkill with the base. I heard you can lose points, unless you use it wisely
>>97033902You're getting angry at the execution of your fanfiction, do you get that?
>>97033924
>>97033914They're overall not that much taller, because of the wide stances I've given them so far. Just that the base ogre body sculpt has hilariously stubby legs. But in a similar pose, they're roughly a head taller than the original.
>>97033902That's like 90% of third edition. A complete (narratively speaking) waste of time.The AoS storyline has been shit since the end of second. It's not a priority so it's just a garbage afterthought
>>97033954i feel like you kind of need to go extra on the base when doing grots or skaven because the dudes themselves are so small, if you just painted them on a simple plinth like some marines try to get away with there would barely be anything to see
Why did the writers start pretending like aqua ghyranis is rare and difficult to procure?
>blonde and ruddy-faced squire with observant eyes and a trusty animal companionHe's got protag energy.
>>97033635Why doesn't mine look like that?
>>97034116Do I gotta repost it?
>>97034015>The AoS storyline has been shit since the end of second. Thats because they had to scrap the alarielle broken realms book that would have set up the reappearance of morghur.3rd edition would've launched with morghur and refreshed beastman + gavespawn units probably something similar to the warped gors that are described in the TOW beastman book.My theory is that kragnos is either a bandaid character or was supposed to launch later, same goes for kruleboyz.
>>97034104He's got hit by a stray cannonball energy
>>97034140You do not have the basic thinky acumen for theorycrafting. It's not for you.
>>97033883Just roll the epoxy into sausages? Use sprues and tinfoil as a base if you don't want to be wasteful Slashed fabric is just cutting thin epoxy in strips and attaching them with some blending at the ends
>>97033992
>>97034140>the kragnos schizo again
>>97034140Where does the expectation of an Alarielle book come from? They released a novella for her because she's prominent in the last book
>>97034182While I do say fuck Kragnos schizo, Alarielle definitely had a Broken Realms book coming. Cited by like you said, that novella, how packed BR Kragnos was with minis, also the climax of BR Alarielle is the prologue to BR Kragnos.
>>97034104He looks more like a Ron than a Harry
>>97034190So it's just schizophrenia then
>>97034152>scrapped book of alarielle >return of morghur was mention before that >3rd edition lauches "the era of the beast" which has the entire premise that the primal beings of the realms go mad>gavespawn main territory is in ghyran in the form of corrupted land that forms a chaos star that looks like a beastman face >actually its a big centaur and his orc sidekicks
>>97034161Can you demonstrate? Show me your sculpting and I'll be able to imitate it.
>>97033985I'm using hyperbole to make my point, since apparently retards don't understand the clear implications otherwise. I'm more disappointed than angry, really. Just another reason to completely ignore GW lore.
>>97034171Im not saying that kragnos and kruleboyz weren't planned but for me they feel much more like something that would release later in a edition and not as the starter faction.I think after they knew that beastman are going away they pulled the kragnos release forward.Its also weird that his storyline basically goes nowhere.
>>97034227Oh you're just crying about the suggestion Sorry, mate, it looks great I'm so proud of you +1 upvote
>>97034259>Its also weird that his storyline basically goes nowhere.A few years ago I would have agreed with you, but the current state of AoS lore seems to be everyone's storyline going nowhere, if it doesn't just backflip itself into the void altogether, like it never existed.
>>97034229>the clear implicationsYou're still getting angry at the execution of your own fanfiction.

>>97034287Sure thing bro. I look forward to you posting at length about how awesome the new lore is when it's revealed in full and totally not disappearing into the ether instead.

>>97033918I’m >no games so it’s only been listbuilding so far. And on that front it’s very much better. I do have a second army on the way so I might try a single player game or two just to familiarize myself with the rules
Seems plausible Darkwater will go up for preorder next weekend. Anybody planning to grab a copy?
>>97034302>Spearhead shrinking .·°՞(˃ ᗜ ˂)՞°·.>design wargame with fixed bands>get surprised when people start leaving because the game stagnates
>>97034376I want it but probably not gonna grab it right away, no rush.
>>97034380Are you saying people are leaving AoS-proper for Spearhead, or gradually leaving Spearhead because they can't personalize their force?
>>97034376>Anybody planning to grab a copy?Im interested in the nurgle stuff but i rather wait for the single releases because i dont care for the hero models and i like the darkwater pestigor version less than the standalone version.
>>97034380>hobby all about making your cool little custom army with all of the choices you made>release a gamemode where everything is fixed and there are no optionsI don't understand how spearhead even took off. I'm in this shit for the armybuilding.
>>97034414Sorry if this truthbombs anyone butI don't actually think AoS ever managed to establish itself as an "army first" game and I don't think "how a proper AoS army looks on the table" ever lodged in peoples' minds to the extent that it did in 40K (infantry blobs, monsters, tanks) or Fantasy (blocks of shit, monsters).And I think something Spearhead-sized is probably the ideal product for GW. It claws in more profit than someone buying their first box or two, and it promises a complete game experience from one purchase.I wouldn't be surprised to see them move harder and harder in that direction. I doubt they'd have the balls to ever fully deprecate the full army version, but they might Apocalypsize it...
>>97034404Spearhead specifically. They are too greedy to give it free seasonal packs to keep people invested>>97034414The goal was to give people into AoS without needing to invest into 2k army right off the bat.The problem is that list building in 4th ed is too basic and by the numbers
>>97034450It would be funny if they start bumping up point costs for units in future editions so hard, what was normal in 2-3 ed feels like an 40k style apocalypse in 6-7 edMake it so small, Big boys like archaon or nagash literally cannot be added
>>97034268No I don't know how to sculpt that stuff. Please demonstrate, you seem to have greater experience.
>>97034450My hangup is less about "the idea of how an army should look" and more that I just have very specific likes in terms of models and I refuse to ever buy or use something that I don't like. Like, unless they plop out a Spearhead that's specifically Arch-Warlock, Globadiers, Stormfiends, and some Weapon Team, I'm not buying it.
>Warcry dead>Spearhead shrinkflating>Storylines dropped>Underworlds>4th floundering>1 trillion to 40kDark times indeed
>>97034495I wonder if they would ever do an a la carte system where you got, like, an A, B, C and D pick from lists of units, and together they formed a Spearhead.Obviously that provokes the question, "How da fuck is that even different from the normal game, and points?" but I suppose the core goal would be to keep things Spearhead sized and to promote quicker games.
>>97032474>this is the happiest I've been in a monthWow that's a fucking low bar, but gotta remind everyone of his mental state (like a normal person).
>>97034536If this is the price for god-tier release waves, so be it and pedal on the gas.
>>97034536At least the models are nice. Wish the prices were reasonable too
>>97034571There's going to come a point where I finish two of my armies, print and paint my terrain, get stone and play out a game with myself
PSA: Jorvan sound like a Black name fyi
>>97034414>ideal entrypoint for newbies who don't know what the fuck is going on>ideal way for people to jump into a new army and have it be playable with a single 100 euro purchase (or whatever it is in burger money)>doesn't take 3 hours to play while still maintaining the essentials of a full size game (unlike warcry for example)>actually fun and reasonably balancedIs it really a wonder why spearhead took of? Especially since the one thing it obviously lacks is customization, which the main game is currently also lacking.If anythig it's a wonder that it took so long for gw to release a properly balanced ~700 points gamemode in the first place
>>97032546>trannoid>running meta spam listsname a more iconic duo
>>97032546I hate plasma so fucking muchIt's like intrinsically rotten; I can't recall it ever not being the best option for any given unit
>>97031948Blue horrors look good, so I don't think you'd regret getting those. Same with screamers, either gaunt summoner and of course the big birds. Considering the current leaks, I don't see a big tzeentch refresh coming till 2027 at the earliest. >>97032074The current tzaangor are fine, no real issues there. Kairics suck ass, they're so boring. They tack on some lore about them being buffed nerds to excuse that they're just loincloth dudes in masks, it's super low effort. They could make really thematic tzeentch cultists like pic related that would be so much better. New flamers and pinks horrors would be appreciated. The current magister on foot is one of the worst models in the range second only to flamers, we need a new one. The one on disc kinda sucks too. The chariot obviously needs an update but I'm not sure what they'll do with that. I can't wait for new blue scribes.
>>97032565Are you the anatomy of a failure poster? Always found that pasta funny but it needs new material.
Why is Tzeentch obsessed with birds?
>>97031948I'll instead list things I'd say are UNsafe:>Pink Horrors>Flamers>Burning Chariot

>>97034777Sorry sir but you forgot that banter's only allowed to go one way. This is a site full of glass cannons.
>>97034809trying too hard
>>97034740>why is the raven god obsessed with birds
>>97034833Eh it's a good question, birds aren't typically associated with trickery, that's usually like spiders, foxes and most obviously snakes.
>>97034612The last two special heroes for CoS were black, this one is probably white or Indian at least.
>>97034801You're not hiding yours at all, pedo.
>>97034875Fair. Maybe he's latinx and we're all pronouncing it wrong ("Horvan")
So why are CoS and OBR getting second waves and LRL are getting a fucking third wave when IDK got shit? Fyreslayers K get but DoK are also apparently getting some units even though they might get squatted and souped soon.What's up with the Idoneth Deepkin neglect? They are middle of the pack in terms of general popularity and pretty popular in the tournament scene. So why do they refuse to give them more non pity hero units?
>>97034877
>>97034908Welcome to GW modus operandi. Shit that sells well, gets more shit to sell well, while stuff that doesn't sell gets neglected while GW retard nigger statisticians wonder why shit doesn't sell.
>>97034895I think he's gonna be a swarthy mystery meat sailor not completely white, black or brown.

>>97034612he's racist, he has to be a bloke
>>97034740because birds are associated with prophecy
>>97034921>Tahlia is indian isn't she?No wonder she's a shit character then.
>>97032613That's gay
>>97034908LRL haven’t had a second wave. They had their launch split.
>>97034945bullshit
>>97033141Gets dommed by Morathi
>>97034916>wow this army has awesome heroes, I can't wait till they get some good infantry so I can pick them upHaving ugly battleline units hinders a factions popularity. No one's picking up IDK to run a horde of namarti, they want to play with fish elves riding sea animals. All they have to do is add Akhelian infantry as an option and and maybe one other cavalry unit and the faction would see a big rise in sales.
>>97034612Maybe, Jordain was the black Felix Stormcast
>>97034908Idoneth aren't really middle of the pack, they're definitely towards the bottom sadly. One of those armies where most people like or at least appreciate the lore and concept but not a lot of people buy into the army itself. Kinda like tomb kings in that way. I've heard some rumours that they were one of the aos creators' pet projects (alan merett maybe?) and once they left they didn't get much attention anymore, but I've never seen that idea backed up by anything tangible. I love them though and it was clear the community was dissappointed with their "second wave", though if some meaty updates would actually fix them remains to be seen. They're willing to take a chance on fyreslayers though so who knows, as long as you're not beastmen there's hope.
>>97034809When 99% of people are normal, it's the standard and does not require a clarifier.
>>97034938But prophecy isn't really Tzeentch's thing, he's more about plots, trickery, power changing hands, and ambition. Preordained events seem like his antithesis.
>>97034958First battletome had less units and kits than HoH. This is also shortly after OBR launched all in one weekend, too. They also have been quoted as having designed a lot of kits for the faction during the Lumineth Lowdown articles.
>>97035023Don't they both launch with 9 kits, per this pic? Loomies have 10 if you count the spell kit. Though obviously helsmiths have made more of their kits by virtue of basically everything being a dual build one.
>>97035059Urak/DaemonsmithDaemonsmith/ElderDespotCohortHobgrotzCentaursBombardDomination EngineRazersMy bad, think I was counting one of those dual kits as a separate. Technically the same not counting spells, but the dual kits REALLY help HoH. But even then, having the other half of the LRL stuff drop the following year in the same edition during a narrative campaign can only mean the molds/sculpts were already done and just needing to be produced. Whether or not Covid affected production or this was an intentional split by GW will remain a mystery unless someone with knowledge of printing companies can chime in on timelines.
>Greywater Fastness has helicopters, walking superheavy tanks, wall-mounted energy cannons, bionic automata, monorails and trains, cybernetic prostheses, etc.>its common soldiery used to have repeating rifles and gold-embroidered uniforms>now they have cast-iron tubes with cord fuses and wear crude kettle hatsDid Kragnos shake the realms so hard it gave all the engineers brain damage?
>>97035095Yeah it's nice that everything bar the despot and hobgrots have an alternate build, fleshes out the faction a lot. It really surprised me that the ashen elder and daemonsmith are built from the same guy for example. It was a pleasant surprise since lately gw has been slacking on dual kits, I guess not helped by the fact that weapon options have been largely scoured from the game.
>>97033736>2nd edition coming in after having left the game to rot for a bit and just converting the warbands that would have come out into "new warbands", removing all the card art, fucking with the rules and making it even more restrictive just bugs me.GWS isn't known to make good decision for following products

>>97035108Because all cities must mud-core british settlements from now on, different races working together and developing their own personal identities?Fuck that, we cadians now, every city in every realm must be a shithole ruled by humans
>>97035108Eh fusiliers carry around little hand cannons because they're dealing with waves of ironjawz and chaos warriors and shit. I can see why your average musket might not be cutting it then.
>>97035178You are very dumb.
>>97035008What? There are plenty of clarifying terms for things that are the majority. By the way, I don't give a fuck about your politics or culture war shitfling; what you're saying makes no linguistic sense.
>>97035326It doesn't need to be clarified when it's assumed. You only need to clarify when you're talking about specific comparisons. Most automobiles have 4 wheels (excluding bikes of course), but some variations have 3 or 6. Only in very specific circumstances do you need to clarify that you're talking about a 4 wheeled vehicle instead of a 3/6 wheeled.But we're not really having a serious discussion. A troon has been called out and they're having a spaz, because that's what they do.
>>97035108I saw an anon say awhile back that this isn't explicitly the "main troops" of the cities. Basically just dawnbringer militia to throw to the front lines, so it's entirely feasible there's all the other stuff but these are just the mooks.
>>97035380Probably one with meta lists, knows it, and feels ashamed by it. I see no reason for such a comment to be taken so personally
>>97035380Then why is straight a term if it's the implied norm.
>>97034916CoS doesn't sell either. I can still grab their Army Set they launched with, discounted by 40% and every single LGS has loads of the old Battleforce and the old Spearhead. Most people still uses their old WFB models rather than the new nu CoS.
>>97035435For situations where it's needed to differentiate e.g. "Straight guys are far less likely to rage on 4chan than trannies."
>>97035478Wasn't it perfectly fitting in the op then? "This non tranny also plays meta lists"This retarded discussion has gone on far too long anyway
>>97035449>middle of the road (12th out of 24) for games played>they don't sell
>>97035497True lmao, but the troon wasn't making that point.
>>97035478>"What is more commong than powergaming trannies?">"Powergaming cishet dudes"It literally follows your own rule, silly flailing bitch. Ha! So sensitive.
>>97035516We're reaching levels of cope that shouldn't be possible.
>>97034908>>97034991IDK also have some glaring rules issues that I was worried about when the book first came out. And that is that they seemed to have over nerfed the army in exchange for the flexibility of the new tides. They half assed removing High Tide and ended up still having to take into consideration that the army MIGHT have one activation at SF despite there being flat out better options now for tides selection because it only works on your turn. It’s effectively a dead tide if you’re going second. The army’s main damage comes from companion weapons which only has one buff coming from Mathaela while a vast majority of the armies combat buffs only affect the rider weapons which are largely negligible, especially after eels took nerfs. Soulscryer is a waste of a warscroll in his current state with the Akhelian King not far behind. Storm Eidolon is unimpressive for a flying monster combat hero, yeah he’s got his +1 wound buff but it doesn’t affect companions. Anything involving Namarti can only amount to being an annoyance and the best thing they can currently do is make some bricks of 20 with a Soulrender reviving a minimum of 3 to each unit through subfaction+trait combos. Which leads me to the next point, subfactions being ass. It’s a pretty dire situation when our best subfaction is the seasonal sharks one and it’s really only that way because you’re playing with over 2k points of models that can appear near whatever objective or terrain it needs to be near for battle tactics. Sharks are really jacks of all trades, masters of none. Very swingy on damage and don’t need much to go down. Beastmasters is the other choice but you run into the issue of not having much else to supplement your eels. Then what does GW do? Punish us for taking either because heaven forbid we don’t want to run the other shit-ass subfactions. So you have two spammy build options for armies that won’t immediately put you on the back foot. 1/2
>>97035449I just can't get myself to like CoS. They look overdesigned and unpleasant to paint. Their two named heroes being garbage both model wise and character wise (I've read the BL books) doesn't help either.
>>970355342/2When SoG goes away and if we don’t see anything on that level replacing it, I fear you’re gonna see IDK rates take a big hit. Sure other people won’t have their SoG stuff, but many more will have new books that they don’t have now. Then we come to the army’s actual playstyle and strategy. What on the cover reads as a glass cannon, hit hard and fast army actually ends up playing a game of tap dancing around objectives and terrain to play the mission in some sort of poorly defined control/tempo army that you can rarely find advice for because the army is already unpopular due to lack of model support anyway. Enough of my ranting, though.
>>97035502Read the second sentence and the last sentence again.
>>97035449KBros, our response? How do we stop the SoBchuds?
>>97035449If you check out the cities of sigmar reddit it's all people posting nucities stuff. Your image also shows them dead in the middle.That being said I don't trust it one bit, fyreslayers over gits and loomies, twice as popular as ironjawz? They might be good idk, but there's something wrong there. Not to mention the kb and sob winrates man what the fuck.>>97035516Eh it's probably this website giving everything a more rightoid slan than normal more than anything. Then again there's neonazi femboys and blacks out there so who the fuck knows, anything is possible when it comes to politics.
>>97035534>>97035538Honestly seems like they are nerfing everyone with new books. HoH isn't impressive either.

>>97035571I don’t know how true it is but I’ve seen some rules leaks from the Nurgle tome and it seems to be the book where GW suddenly locks the fuck in mid-edition for. Disgusting stuff.

>>97035638Do you actually believe "company says trans rights"?
>>97035534>>97035538I feel like because idk have been historically pretty oppressive they were really afraid to buff anything even after taking away the high tide gimmick, not realising the army has always been built on eels. Making thralls not shit or reavers anything better than okay is not going to make idk terrorize everybody again, but gw doesn't realize that. Idk are now in a very uncomfortable position of :-limited range (more heroes than non heroes)-complicated to play-not actually all that goodI feel like you can have 1 or maybbbbe 2 of these issues, but not all 3. Also doesn't help that lots of people lost confidence in the faction when the "second wave" they've been hyping up for almost a decade was such a letdown. Hard times ahead for idk, though I won't say no to cheap models from competitive piggies.Oh also I can't get over mathaela's rules man.>character believes namarti are the true form of idoneth>supports bloody namarti uprisings against their alhelian/isharann masters across the realms>namarti have been nigh useless for basically the entire army's history, especially thralls>mathaela's rules buff companions, all of which are part of the akhelian side of the armyGw needs to force the rules and fluff teams to have a sitdown every friday afternoon or something
>>97035671Nta but I believe I enjoy chatting about the game and not some chud getting riled up because someone used a word wrong.
>>97035686>nta>chudSure.
>>97035638>>97035686Are you having a mental breakdown?
Are the Warcry or Underworlds novels good reads? What about the daddy daughter witch hunter book? Lioness of the Parch? Good? Are any anthologies/omnibuses good? Is reading good? Am I asking questions?
>>97035686You wont be missed.
>>97035691Sorry, it's a toss up between chud and retard. I can pick either one.
>>97035683>Idk are now in a very uncomfortable position of :>-limited range (more heroes than non heroes)>-complicated to play>-not actually all that goodThank you for putting my word salad much more succinctly. It’s gonna be some rough waters for us, but I’ve been building up my LRL. Nearing 1.6k or so painted without a single game besides spearheads, so here’s hoping I hobbied a passable collection. The disconnect with Mathaela is hilarious.
>>97035792>The disconnect with Mathaela is hilarious.Disconnect?
>>97035887Lore vs what the rules do.
>>97035627I was joking, this numbers can't be right. But I agree with most of this list, don't care much for more heroes.>last line The swamp longs for the Nasty Hex.
>>97035919I played my first game against OBR and bro kept pulling ward saves against my mortals
>>97035792Are they really that complicated to play? The tide mechanic seems like it lets you pick simple good options or make riskier but higher reward options if you plan correctly, in theory scaling with player skill.
>>97035887nta, but her lore is all about Power to the Namarti, the true children of the deep, we shall overcome, etc etc. Her rules completely ignore Namarti and only buff mounted units.
>>97035934IDK is complicated to play in the sense that you can't be a retard and win with them, they're very much a finesse army. It's not that their rules are complicated, it's just not easy that simple to win with a bunch of fast but squishy fishes and not much else.
>>97035934Compared to other armies, yeah. It’s always felt like you’re having to consider and account for so much more than other armies to achieve a similar result. Like SBGL or STD can just chuck a unit at an objective to hold it, if they lose some dudes, whatever. For Deepkin in either of the two best builds you’ve got to take into account threat ranges, possible scenarios, next steps. It’s tiring sometimes. >>97035955Basically this. The payoff for the skill input just isn’t as worth it. Fast, squishy, swingy fish that are deceptively pillowfisted.
>>97035606Fuck off back to 40kg decalfag. You need to stop posting sopranos reaction images
I should really learn how to paint white.
>>97036001I was wondering why I recognized those, can these threads stop getting raided by crackheads from down the road.
>>97036028Your white won't look like that for quite a long time If you're just starting now, most of us will never have any colour under our belt that we can do to that standard before we die because most of us aren't interested in putting that much time into it
>>9703603940kg and wfg are both dead right now, I think a bot got banned or something because the whole board is going slow compared to normal. Likely will get worse as we get closer to Thanksgiving holiday
I dont get why people are saying warcry is dead, its just in the same boat as MESBG was in before it got turned to shit. I guess it would be nice if they sold some of the old terrain, maybe clarify some rules, but beyond that the games fine.
>>97036077I'd love it if they MTO'd some 1e terrain.
>>97036077It's generally 40k babies saying it who are used to 2 marine characters or units a month minimum. Look at bloodbowl. They would get maybe 4 kits a year, if that, and they just got a new box.
>>97036077It's compared to Kill Team which is getting like 3-4 Big releases a year
>>97036139marinepigs really are a strange phenomenon
>>97036182They subsidize the rest of this happy though, if they want to pay 50 bucks for an intercessor character with a different helmet I certainly am not going to stop them
>>97036028One key tip I've heard Vince Venturella say is that painting good looking whites usually involves a lot of none-white colors. gotta get good at blending and gradients.
>>97036286That's good advice, I like painting with blueish greys for a nice, cold white
>>97036139I've heard this said by age of sigmar die hards, but you are right, it's a very confusing to call it "dead" when it's actively still getting support compared to the pretty limited support blood bowl gets. Aside from rules for custom teams I dont' really see what else they could do for warcry, maybe a new terrain set every year or so.
>>97036286>>97036298Yeah. With whites you’re usually gonna be dealing with greys and cream-colors.The one in the original post seems to have greys, blues, purple, and greens.
>>97033902Well yes actually I do think duplicitous aelves will be duplicitous
>>97034015I liked khuls plot point leading into 4th, I felt nothing for the phoniex temple going away, and still haven’t bothered to see what neffy is doing with her brothers cum.
>>97035718People say that one of the underworlds novel is dogshit (it is either Harrowdeep or beast grave i don't remember)
>>97036286Vince is solid for hobby advice
>>97036148Kt is a 40k product though and 40k must have 10-20 times the amount of players as aos and fantasy combined if not more. They're never going to be really comparable. Especially when fantasy as a genre is less popular than scifi these days
Does Archaon really have any justifiable reason for turning to evil or is it literally just: "Be'lakor picked him" he turned on Sigmar pretty quickly for someone who devoted their life to him.Is he this stupid and edgy in AOS too?
>>97036286Absolutely. You can use about any colour as your shade tone for white and still have it read as white provided its smooth enough and used subtly. Smoothbrain easy mose is use cool blue tones for clean white and warm brown tones for dirty/bone white. Like any colour the bigger your surfaces, the smoother you need to be, but with whites it's especially important
>>97036356I keep forgetting big oosh is neffy's brother. Have they done anything at all with that?
>>97036492She kinda manipulated to make him even more retarded in aos, also shes using his blood for wine.
>>97036463Is that a Total War branded book? I'm suprised GW did those.
I think it was a bad decision to give CoS named characters. Now the narrative can't make big jumps anymore.
>>97036519See>>97033358
>>97036519
>>97036512iirc it was a preexisting WHF book they added the total war branding to for synergy
>>97036512It came out with the first game, I don't believe they had been re-releasing older stuff back then so this is the version I have. There was also the empire compendium with Karl franz on it.
>>97036519The timeline has always been irrelevant. It's just a series of launch box momentous narrative hype events that have no bearing on the setting after the edition changes Does it matter how old Hammerhal is? No. Do we even know how old it is? No. The Realmgate Wars is a distant memory because it was four editions ago, the Ghur quake is in living memory because it was last edition
what was Gnoblar scraplauncher called when Gnoblars were just called Grots?
>>97036662Scraplauncher.They were always gnoblars though.
Based janitors keeping Sigmar's realms safe.
>>97036594GW is advancing the plot only to push new kits, nothing else.Any sparks of creativity are often incidental
>>97036463The way it goes in the Sanders novels, Archaon never truly had a choice. Every time he did anything that was not in line with his becoming the Everchosen, if he returned to the Sigmarite faith, if he killed himself in despair, or if he simply failed in his labors, Be'lakor rewound time and let the events play out again for a more favorable outcome. He wasn't given the freedom to choose anything else but to be the person who would end the world.
>>97036721>They were always gnoblars though.They were just Grots until the Mawtribes battletome. It was a Grot Scraplauncher
>>97036727What happened to all the mechanical contraptions and art deco of Azyr? Did they forget how to build stuff?
>>97036790
>>97036790>>97036799I stand corrected. I came from 40k where grots were lower than gretchins, so I assumed grots and goblins were in the same faction and that gnoblars, though related, were something different entirely.
>>97036794They have more advanced stuff in hysh
>>97035178>>97035326Hurry up and 41% yourself
Soon lads...the Darkoath proxy fomo box releases soon...
>>97036880Dark oaths shit rule wise and marauders aren’t even cool. I’m in it for the monster mash and chaos warriors.
>>97036880I'd get a box of these dudes for like mordheim or frostgrave or something desu
>>97036914I don't really have a reason to buy them other than they are cool, it's a fomo box and it's a very good deal, as they will sell for slightly less than a current TOW battalion. Which is insane considering how expensive Darkoath are and how much uglier the sculpts are.
I hadn't realized she was quite so gargantuan.
>>97036880>>97036950It's out in New Zealand if you happen to be from there. Holy shit those NZ prices are insane.
Is aqua ghyranis supposed to be rare now?
>>97036937They're meh. I generally still prefer the old marauder horsemen who were completely fine and made for good conversion material. As for the foot marauders, I think Kairics are still the gold standard, and thats gonna be cheaper than the new norscans.
>>97036987Where does it insinuate that?
>>97036991Kairics looks so ass compared to these new sculpts lets not kid ourselves.
>>97036969wasnt this thing like $700? or am i thinking of the middle earth smaug model?
>>97037001nah. easier to paint and cooler than norscans. good conversion material as well, I gotta buy some more for necromunda.
>>97036987Wasn't this the currency? Or am I misremembering things?
>>97037009Both were a similar price. I think smug I'd a little bigger but the spines look so breakable I don't think I'd ever want a genuine out of fear of suicide if I broke something while painting it. Definitely would never leave a shelf either
>>97037014looking at my necro cum folder for inspiration, I think I might actually commit to the system if corpse grinder cults dont get any support as the next gang.
>>97037101Is that you duane. If so I miss your lamenters
Helsmiths of Hashut, Cities of Sigmar or Lumineth Realmlords for my first AoS army? I play Necrons in 40k.What does /aosg/ think?For both Hashut and Cities I could get their army sets.
Had a gander at Starseer's Ruin. Seems alright. So far one thing sticks out>freeguilders tenuously allied with seraphon>tenuous in large part because the seraphon interpreter is a jerk>knows human language but not so much human manners>as in he will say humans don't need the warmth of a campfire because it's much more important the seraphon stay toasty>gets to the point where his fellow seraphon threaten to beat his ass unless he shuts up>chameleon skinks remark that he erred by calling the apes "apes" to their ape faces>basically he was the one guy who was stupid enough to say what they're all thinkingI just think it's funny to see that even the lizards sometimes get tired of each other's autism.
>>97037177Helsmiths are weak and ugly. CoS are ugly and tricky to paint well.
>>97037210>>basically he was the one guy who was stupid enough to say what they're all thinkingWe spawn him wrong, as a joke.
>>97037177Any time I see people coming into the game/hobby asking this my answer will always be to choose what you like in this order: Models>Hobby>Lore>Rules.
>>97037177You should try to play AoS before committing financially. 4e is unironically not for everyone. A lot of people dropped out locally due to the changes. If you just want to paint then buy what you think is coolest but for playing, you should really thoroughly explore the game first as it’s in arguably its worse state ever gameplay wise (not counting the meme launch of AoS)
>>97037177If you don't pick models you love for the models you'll be really upset when the rules change. Aos is a testing ground for things in 40k, and we've seen really big change ups to how the game plays with each editions
>>97037211I like them.>>97037248Then it's between Cities of Sigmar and Helsmiths of Hashut. Alright I'm closer.>>97037269I didn't play but I watched some games. It's pretty popular where I live.>>97037271I actually like a lot of AoS stuff in terms of models but I was also looking based on the playstyle.
>>97037210I like it quite a bit so far, actually.
I hope Darkwater ends up having an ending as silly as Cursed City Nemesis did if it also gets expansions.
>>97037289How did CC end? It was such a flop that I forgot all about it.
>>97037294>flop Anon the reason why it had issues was because it sold out
>>97037278You really should play at least a few games before jumping in.
>>97037299The launch was a complete flop, yes. It never recovered after that.
>>97037278>Then it's between Cities of Sigmar and Helsmiths of Hashut. Alright I'm closer.Nice. Now maybe look up painting guides on them and see which ones you might find less trouble painting. After that look at some lore.
>>97037294CC wasn’t a flop. CC suffered from success. HoH was a flop.
>teach me the meaning of wordsno
>>97037177>i play necrons in 40k....are you looking for something that plays like necrons? because none of those are it.>helsmithseasiest to paint, shield wall with strong guns, wizards and cavalry. medium to low speed. plays a lot of resource management and priority focus buffs, as well as needing to take territory on the map. highest skill floor, medium skill ceiling >cities moderately tricky to paint, but lots of metalics which are forgiving. gameplay is mix of tanky cheap cavalry and guns/artillery, with a bunch of techy little support pieces. lots of efficient, budget units and overlapping synergies and complimentary units. low skill floor, possibly highest skill ceiling in the game>luminethnot as hard to paint as you might think, apart from gems. gameplay is whatever you want it to be, has every role in the game and is good-ish at all of them. accurate precision damage and some strong magic buffs and debuffs, also some wild combat powerhouse and wizard heroes. doesnt have a ton of bodies though so losses hurt. medium skill floor, high skill ceiling.
>>97037278Helsmiths are generally easier to paint. So I would go with them. Cities is probably gonna get major range expansions every edition, so they’ll always have new toys. Could also try Warcry with them.
>>97037278I thinks it's easier for you to make a cities army do what you want modeling and gameplay wise. There's only so much you can do with hellsmiths. Both are going to get more models eventually. But hellsmiths just got theirs so you'll be waiting a while for new stuff if you aren't excited about everything in the army
>>97037299>>97037310Under-producing and killing it after was by no means a success. It was a failure on GW's part. Second print was forgotten.
>>97037305Anon go back to 40kg or wfg
>>97037328Uh huh let’s go with that cope.
>>97037335Are you retarded enough to imply that Cursed City wasn't a complete disaster? Are you seriously arguing this?
>>97037343I know im not retarded enough to fall for your reinterpretations of its release.
>>97037294Cursed City continued it's plot in NightWars where you essentially run around and kill a bunch of other named Vampire models that were sold in that awkward period where CC's future was up in the air and GW were clearly selling Cursed City models. In which you can also bump into Radukar during to say, yeah he's still alive.Going into Nemesis, after killing the other Vampire Lords in Night Wars, Radakur's back and managed to get control of the city again as he managed to consolidate power but this time he's gonna keep coming back stronger and stronger as you (with his 2nd model) as you run around the city trying to save as many people you can because during Nemesis you find out the city's gonna get destroyed.So the campaign makes you search for a realmgate with the survivors to get the survivors out, but when you find it, the realmgate isn't working and Radukar's currently still trying to blow up the city to gain power and make him the equivalent of a Mortarch in power. So now you gotta go challenge him again cause this is gonna be the only way to stop the people of the city from dying is to stop him, for like, the 4th(?) time now. Once you win, Radakur is beaten and crippled, the Realmgate opens allowing the survivors to make it to Azyr. As you're about to kill Radukar, Nagash shows up to save Radakur and tells him he's over-stepped himself and needs a re-education, while animating a horde of undead to over-whelm the Party. The party is implied to have died in the swarm Nagash has sent to well, kill them as the survivors wait for them to come through the portal to Azyr, but they never do. The end.
>>97037329It's been quiet over there, the bait isn't getting bites I guess
>>97037306>>97037319>>97037322>>97037327Thanks. I'm leaning Cities due to the support it's supposed to get and various cities seem interesting.
>>97037349>your reinterpretations of its release.I'm still surprised by the stupidity of anons here.Holy shit.
>>97037351>as youAt you*
>>97037351>The party is implied to have died in the swarm Nagash has sent to well, kill them as the survivors wait for them to come through the portal to Azyr, but they never do.That actually sucks.
>>97037358cities are pretty good, just make sure to avoid the elf and dwarf shit, its not long for this world
>>97037369Maybe they'll reconsider having some of the hero characters killed off in the future since there's been an official statement on if they hard died in the swarm. But by the time of Nemesis, it seemed GW was very much just done with both the setting and the quests cast.
>>97037379Damn I can't type tonight, since there's never been an official statement.
>>97037375According to the new rumorslop today, they're staying. But this guy is brand new and VERY vocal. He did post some pictures that pissed Boole off, though. So who knows.
>>97037379They were the coolest bunch out of all Warhammer Quest teams.
>>97037390>He did post some pictures that pissed Boole off, though.I hope Boole fucks off for good.
>>97037358Best of luck with the painting. It's a good think GW made stormcast as a starter faction because I can't imagine how many people would have quit trying AoS if they were forced to paint 2k points worth of cities units to play.
>>97037390This shit makes me feel more and more like boole is a paid leaker and is legitimately flipping out that someone's messing with his job
>>97037394I was fine with what we got through Whitefang, just wish he was a tad bit less obtuse. Boole and Reformation like the attention too much. I wouldn't be surprised if there's incorrect shit sprinkled throughout.
>>97037390i'll believe it when i see it. it would be wonderful if the cities dwarf and elf stuff stuck around for good, but given their track record and the whole old world situation im not about to recommend a new player go load up on a bunch of dispossessed and dark elves just to get burned a year later
>>97037404they definetly have "leakers" on payroll that drip feed info to various forums to build hype.
>>97037395I'm in no hurry.
>>97037411Oh absolutely. We should get closer to a real answer as time goes on.
>>97037417I need them not to put in cogforts or I'll be tempted to make cities my next army I definetly can't afford.
>>97037411As much as people in the community complain about it, I feel like there's not actually that big of a demand for dwarves and elves in cities. I think people mostly just want to play as more normal elves and dwarves, which is not what GW would design them as.
>>97037428That leaker said the cogfort is bigger than a gargant. I feel like it's going to suck for the game like Knights suck in 40k.
>>97037443I think the real demand was to have mixed units not segregation squads. A Steelhelm unit with 5 Humans, 3 Dwarves, and 2 Elves. The Ironweld Cannon crew with a Dwarf smoking a pipe while the humans load it, stuff like that. Instead GW doubled down on what seems to be Imperial Guard meets the original concept of Tau as a racial coalition faction.
>I think people mostly just want to play as more normal elves and dwarves, which is not what GW would design them as.As long as they're bipedal id likely fuck with it. Im fucking inches away from starting a living city army, I dont even need traditional duardin, give me root kings and wanderers.
This is all great but when are we getting more Stormcast Eternals?
>>97037462June 2027 at the latest.
>>97037462Maybe they'll be present as battle trophies for ogres.
>>97037466>>97037469Surely they will release another wave during the next narrative campaign.
>>97037472didnt you hear? The narrative campaign is gonna go hard for chaos.
>>97037462My kingdom for a stormcast battlemage that's hurling lightning. Why is this not a unit, how is this not the most obvious thing in the world?
>>97037487>forsaken by the architect of change, why is he not available for my cabalists!?
>>97037487Best I can do is a fireball.
So apparently seraphon are really on the struggle bus right nowWhy is that? At a glance their rules seem decent, and the SoG carnosaur looked really great
>>97037499Thank you for your interest in the Disciples of Tzeentch army. Here are 10 complimentary Tzaangors.
>>97037500these fuckers are gold and blue, covered in lighting symbols, are named STORMcast, and not one model that's gripping a bolt of lighting like Zeus. For shame James Derpshop
>>97037499forsaken are neat but I'm hoping if they ever get added they'll try a little harder with the design than "fucked up barbarian with a tentacle arm"
>>97037509It is weird, isn't it?
>>97037509Yeah, and deepkin with their whole aquatic theme have a SINGLE trident.
>>97037508I think the thing that pisses me off the most about these guys is how they're swords are cooler than what kairics have on average.
>>97037517to be fair, they're the fish, not really the fisherman. There is a faction of boat riding monster hunters that do have a trident, which makes sense.
>>97037519literally everything is cooler than kairics. There's a million better interpretation of tzeentch cultists than the loincloth wearing, masquerading gladiator slaves.
>>97037094Is it green stuff or glue?>>97037177Lumineth is cool.
>>97030028Soon
>>97037598Greenstuff. It's hard to avoid seems on organic things that don't require filling
>>97037587I wish the gorgers were this grounded but they're pretty cartoony compared to the art
>>97037828>pic related
>>97037828>>97037859Nah I see what he is saying, they have a very cartoony look to them.
>>97037891they're 1-1 with the art.
Replaying Vermintide 2 makes me feel like a Vermintide 3 in the mortal realms would slap just for the environmental variety they could play with. Like imagine going through the ruins of a kharadron city in chamon with all the cool rocky outcroppings in crazy forms then exploring the ruins of an Aqshian village blighted by the skaven.
>>97037966aos is getting a new tide game, not a vermintide sequel. that would make literally no one happy.
>>97037971>aos is getting a new tide gameAh you have also dreamt the same dream
>>97037971Greentide? Chaostide? Deathtide? Skaventide?
>>97037989da greentide.
>>97037966>YWN blast your way through Barak Urbaz as it falls only to be teleported to safety or rescued

>>97038161cool.
>>97038177Fuck you it's not cool I was waiting for this for fucking weeks you cunt. Now my StD project is going to probably be delayed until they release them individually or I can alternatively source it.
>>97038193At times like this the big sellers will sell out instantly but you should still be able to get a copy from smaller sellers. I just bought one on Ebay for the normal 15% discount.
>>97038193Well you can probably mess with a wilderfiend until then.
>>97038207I went right back to searching and found a small shop that does general hobby (stuff other than GW) that had enough in stock for me to grab one. I just checked again and they are also sold out now kek.Made it by the skin of my teeth. The StD are back baby.
>>97038193If you don't want Darkoath you can fuck off to TOW.
Reminds me, I wonder if they’re gonna restock the Christmas boxes.
>>97038270They already did, wave 2, at least in NA. You can find tons of every battleforce box even the space marine one.
>>97037989Bonetithe
>>97038247Can we stop pretending like we will see any Darkoath after the next 6 months? They were a mistake, let's be happy we were lucky enough to get proxies from GW from ToW.
>>97036782It bugs me these fuckers have time powers. But I wasn't a big fan of him seemingly just going full evil speeches and shit like instantly, i'm in part 2 and he's already giving villainous speeches.
>>97037989Grot tide
Why did they waste this cool model and make it a special character only? It could've been a dual kit for a standard monster mounted hero.
>>97038161Huh, sold out here too. I didn't think fantasy would sell out that fast.
>>97038427Slaves to Darkness are quite popular.
>>97038420i unironically believe its just the sprue didnt have enough space to fit a generic hero option
>>97038420darkoafs aren't even up for preorder in the US
>Freeguild Grenadiers >He hefts his greatbore musket upon the haft of his pole-axe to loose its shot>You can see the intricate helm and battleplate that adorn him, and the greatcloak that shrouds his form from crown to heel Im so fucking confused how to visualize this. The first thing that comes to mind is something out of kislev
>>97038448I don't see anything there.
>>97038448he's doing this shit with his fucking polearm
>>97038445East coast stores don't put pre orders up at midnight in the US like in Canada?
>>97038462I'm west coast dawg
>>97038466So am I. I ordered my marauder box from an East coast store where it's tomorrow rn. Looks like it's selling like mad in Australia too, stores being allotted 40 units there. I assumed I would be able to get this at least all day the first day but I guess not.
>>97038480either way, not something I'm really eyeballing atm, I'll get the normal norscan box later for fun and kitbashing
>>97038427Makes you wonder why you can find tomb king and bretonnian boxes, but boxes for Cathay and marauders dissappeared fast. Almost like the ones moss cross compatible with aos are selling out faster
>>97038509> regular stock boxes of old sculpts selling worse than limited time boxes of brand new sculpts because proxiesKek
>>97038509TK and Brets are starter boxes
>>97038509>why are starter boxes in stock???
>>97038509My LGS is selling discounted Cathay boxes for 80$
>>97038527yeah thats common, I think they're eating up shelf space now that the hype has kinda worn off. They arent space marines after all.
Man I want those pestigors.
>>97038541I wonder when we'll get the Maggotkin release.
>>97038461It's actually a historical thing. Look up bardiches.

>>97037508I really wish that the mutant model had its own squad as an elite unit instead of being a single model that doesn't even get different stats anymore.
>>97038585I didn't realize this was hoe they used those, that's neat
