>TQGod eaters son, soul wars are the only ones I’ve read that I liked. Currently reading blood of the everchosen and will likely read abraxias book after. Also do yourself a favor and don’t read anything written by nick kyme.
>>97038589>tqI recommend the core book for lore and the spearhead manual for the best gw game they make
>TQThe Gotrek and Felix novels. They are amazing if they count for Gotrek. Most new BL is mediocre to bad. Not much worth reading if you value your time.
>>97038585Yeah like I said, can only imagine something straight out of Kislev.
>>97038589>TQGodeater's Son, Scourge of Fate, Soul Wars, Court of the Blind King, Gloomspite, AoS Gotrek series up to Soulslayer. Ushoran's parts in the Ushoran book are really good but that's literally 15% of the book. Spear of Shadows was what got me into AoS, so while probably outdated, it's still fun. I'm currently reading Starseer's Ruin and I like it. Seraphon feel alien enough and the imagery is great.
>>97038589>TQI'll just throw up my Gotrek ebook dump and audio dump. The AoS stuff is also in there.E-Books.https://mega(d0t)nz/folder/h15iUTJA#VyC9rzeNTd0xNejNO2bK8QAudios https://mega(d0t)nz/folder/VpBGBDyS#_Pj0qh9l4cvVrUD6CGirqwJust replace the d0ts.Wonder when they'll finally get around to doing an audio for The Serpent Queen.
>>97038613They're probably gonna be more elite versions of fusiliers with actual melee. That plus foot knights might mean Cities will have non-chaff that also aren't on the squatting block
We need more Stormcast Eternals.
>>97038800I wouldnt mind more ruination or sacrosanct stuff personally.
>>97038812I think Vanguard will be next. We already have some bits and pieces like Neve and the Underworlds team. Then probably Vandus Reforged for 5th.
>>97038812>more sacrosanctI've got bad news
>>97038818I hope they can redesign the storm bolts or whatever. I like the general design for vanguard but the cross bows could be cooler if they had actual lightning bolts in them. >>97038820Yeah yeah I know.
>>97038820They aren't dead, just back home. They;ll get a redesign and a re release at some point.
>>97038679You wouldn't happen to have them in South American Spanish, would you?
>>97038857Unfortunately I don't.
>>97038857Surely you're fluent in North American Spanish?
>>97038820No way they're not just redesigning these fuckers to launch in 5th
>>97038930stormcasts are not going to be in the 5th ed starter
Commanders of Nagashes finest, I am testing paint schemes for my bonereapers and I want to see your work!
>>97038976Dont have any atm, but I'd be curious to see someone adapt this to obr. Guess the real freedom you'd have is figuring out how to paint the armor/carapaces.
>>97038976i know its hated on but id recommend bonereaper subreddit, any faction subreddit is good for helping decide on a scheme. Helped me decide my scheme for my bonereapers
Im once again appealing to the kindness of anonymous to share the slaanesh battletome, i need it to convert one of my friends into aos player.
>>97039044https://files.catbox.moe/stlax8.pdf
>>97039035That one subreddit is locked behind an invite and I don't know a way to bypass that.>>97039011This piece is great and I might try the purple scheme since it fits nice with the bone color I decided on.
>>97038976Until Nadir swallow all.
>>97039049Thank you!
Looking for EPUBs of 'Thunderstrike & Other Stories', 'Skaventide' and 'War for the Mortal Realms' (or 'Soul Wars' and 'Dominion'). TYIA.
Got my starter pack before I make the jump for a bigger box Skaventide or something.Bros these things are TINY, like really really tiny. The eyes are like a single brush bristle size.Assembling glue/plastic scrape took me almost a whole hour, probably the nerves.Going to give painting a try today. I really hope I'll enjoy it and can physically do it with fucked hands and not get filtered... I want this to be a part of my life so bad.Was hoping to paint some glowy skaven runes on them, so I got the green paint, but I can tell it will be a struggle.Also was I just stupid or is it normal to need to cut off parts of the plastic pins? Some of the models just wouldn't fit unless I either shaved some of the pushfits to a taper or cut parts of them off.One of them I had to cut the whole bit off and just glue my little guy together and hold for a bit because it wouldn't fit no matter what.
>>97039118>Also was I just stupid or is it normal to need to cut off parts of the plastic pins? Some of the models just wouldn't fit unless I either shaved some of the pushfits to a taper or cut parts of them off.It happens.
>>97038976Not the finest but here ya go
>>97039118Depends on which part of the pins you mean, it could have just been part of the sprue that you need to cut off.Overall good start for your first time, though i think everyone will agree buying the cup was unnecessary but if money isn't an issue then why not.Have fun with painting your first models, cherish them forever!
>>97038800I want the old paladins back.
>>97039118>glue/plasticThose are push-ins, you should not need any glue as it makes the models harder to connect. If you pick the skaven starter try to build the models without glue, it will be quicker and easy.>Going to give painting a try today.Remember to coat the models. (thin the paint in water and pass it 3 times or if you have spray you can also spray the models).Here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLi3pVvMOjE> but I can tell it will be a struggle.yeah I feel that, I also struggle doing "symbol" details, sometimes I don't even bother. (I should make transfer sheets but I m also lazy).>Also was I just stupid or is it normal to need to cut off parts of the plastic pins? Some of the models just wouldn't fit unless I either shaved some of the pushfits to a taper or cut parts of them off.>One of them I had to cut the whole bit off and just glue my little guy together and hold for a bit because it wouldn't fit no matter what.That is strange. The models usually fit together nicely unless they have some gimmick (like for exemple one of the crimson court guys that you have to hold part in a way to be able to close the pin)Did you paint spray the sprue before assembling it? If so the paint do make it harder to build (if you want to coat the mini that way it is better to at least protect the pins and their fitting holes with tape). Other than that it could have been factory dust but it is not common. Well, good luck, fren!
>>97039083>Until Nadir swallow all.sickest arabian homosexual orgy chatroom name
>>97038605They don't. AoS Gotrek is a completely different character; just a crazed berserker. He sometimes slips into an obsessed engineer but in a manic way Gotrek never did. The only relationship Slop Gotrek has to Gotrek is occasionally expressing "muh manling"
>>97039094welib or annas archive
>>97039215Is it because the nutrek author isn't the original G&F author?
>>97039215>>97039434I seem to remember g&f going to shit long before aos tbf>>97039222Didn't they nuke anna's archive?
>>97039434Gotrek and Felix stopped being written by the original author long before AoS was a thing.
>>97039083>>97039136Both unique schemes!
>FreeguildGrenadiers>He hefts his greatbore musket upon the haft of hispole-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 heelI'm not going to even bother posting the potato image because you genuinely can't see anything. But this sounds like a gun on bardiche type situation? It'd be pretty funny if we get the normal gun+axe combo while kislev gets the total war literal gunaxe.
>>97039136Amonkhet coded
>>97039559I'm curious about the helmet cos helmets can be pretty fucking cool when they bother giving them visorsthis might be a wave of releases that elevates cos a lot as an army
Is there any possibility that we will have the Black Orks version in the Hellsmiths of Hasut's army?
>>97039646No, chorfs and greenskins don't even talk to eachother after what happened
>>97039646zero chances
>>97039658His enmity seems to be only with the cruel, skinny orruks of the swamp; besides, he also has the tall, clever grots as allies/workers/slaves.
>>97039679Zero is a silent number that is rounded to 100, so you're saying there's a 100% chance, right?
>>97039626Yeah the helmeted fusiliers are really cool but they don't show up in any of the boxart.
>>97039692noblame hobgrots for doing falseflags that instigated an eternal conflict where they're the sole people gaining something
>>97039646Even if there was it shouldn't be done. Shoving hobgrots in there was already a boring decision motivated by nothing more than "that's how they used to be."
>>97039702I suppose that instead of being orruks they will be mutated hobgrots full of steroids or some equivalent.
>>97039646They don't even enslave Hobgrots
>>97039716They don't have to be slaves; they could be bodyguards or foremen or something like that.
>>97039434The original author left before G&F was finished but no David Guymer, who took over from King, is just one of three or four authors who have handled the new slop
>>97039696I never saw those! Those look 1000 times better than the open helmets
Silver tower (terrain?) for tzeentchCos in 2026Fyreslayer have a new magmadroth supposedlyPer the new guy
>>97039755>Silver tower (terrain?) for tzeentchFUCK YEAH
>>97039760Honestly I dunno if I fully trust this new guy, all we've got going in his favour is that boole had a big spergout about him right?Here's his newest pic, supposedly something magmadroth but honestly these are worse than rumour engines
>>97039702ehhhh the lore strongly hints that both sides were just itching for any reason to betray the other. the hobgrots may have pulled the tigers tail but that conflict was inevitable
>>97039767Looks like he shoved the model up his ass and had an ultrasound picture taken.
>>97039767I think he's just boole again under a new account, so he can start sharing photos without getting traced back to a few legally damnable things he said on that account. and that's why the only posts he's made since this allegedly new guy popped up were "yeah, it's legit" and "btw I'll stop posting now".
>>97039796>"yeah, it's legit"the post in discussion
>>97039804the new guy also slipped and tried talking fluff in a similar way boole did and also has a habit to edit some posts he did to remove stuff after a few minutes (like one photo of an ogre and one post where he mentioned cos gargants, and 3 cos wizards)and both sound ESL
>>97039767The only thing I can make of it is a weird sort of squatting pose with a big triceratops like crest, which I guess magmadroths already have. But yeah idk what to make of it really.
>>97039222No results.
>>97039815the photos are worthless, really, better to ignore them and stick with the words instead
This genuinely looks like something an ai would cook up if you ask it to make "a warhammer gun" or something
>>97039937"Photos" that shite being presented as if they mean anything suggests the words are quite shite too. Ignore it all, we'll get to see what's actually in the pipeline when it's actually released anyway.
>>97039958The images are meant to add trust in what he says as being from something he's seen.I don't trust him because of the images, I trust him because another rumormonger validated one of the photos.It might all be a ruse, but it's less likely than just these being legit to me.It's just that the phots add nothing to what he says if you take his validation as granted.
>>97039953yes, but then again, history can be a weirder source than most people think
>>97040013
>>97040013Assuming that's a legit model pic, they 100% used that as an inspiration. Reminds me of this hussite art I found which was definitely in some concept artist's insipiration board for fusiliers.Speaking of, though >>97039953 looks vaguely marine-y at first glance, that silhouette is pretty similar to the fusilier isn't it? Which the raised half-neck brace (or whatever the actual name for that piece is). Only the helmet is looking a bit weird.
Which faction is most reminiscent of playing weiqi
>>97038589>TQNot every story in it was fantastic but overall I really enjoyed the Warcry Anthology. Its look into the lives of lowly Chaos mooks is what got me to give AoS a chance as a setting.
>>97040028Yeah, the early medieval period is quite clearly where the range set its roots, which is also why the mention of a flamethrower isn't that weird.
>>97040044Troggoths and SoB Close off objectives and hold

>>97040080ROCKET GARGOLYANS OR WE RIOT
>every leaker is ESL Why is the UK obsessed with hiring migrants?
>>97040124it's more likely that these leaks are coming from the printing facilities in china, gw still does a number of paper and cardboard stuff, and some scenery, still there, and they print the books way in advance, which is why we're getting leaks for stuff that might even come late next year
>>97038976I can't say my scheme is the most unique for OBR, but I'm happy with it
>>97040138deepest cathay lore
if tzeentch gets the pyrofane cult as a non white dwarf army of renown, then I think I might break into starting a cities army on the side.
>>97040103Rocket firelances while we're at it
>>97039755>Silver tower (terrain?) for tzeentchreformation:>Just confirmed>Huge terraincelebrating by reposting the concept arts once again
>>97040411
>>97040421
>>97040425
>>97040411Silver towers have to be the one terrain piece people are as excited about as new units. Those concepts look sick tbf.
>>97040437I'm not excited because I fully expect it to be a reskin of the stormcast port-a-john
I wonder if this means we'll finally get a named gaunt summoner. I mean I'd prefer a central mortal for the faction to have, but its probably more fitting to pair it with a summoner.
>>97040496Nah we get the fatemaster back as a pity hero together with the silver tower.That would also give tzeentch more full armor and contrast more with kairics
>>97040545Shit it'd take it.
>>97040496all gaunt summoners are named there's only 9 of them, they just all look the same so far, if we had to specifically name the one we have I would say it makes the most sense for it to be the tyrant of eyeshe's the one that got its silver tower blown up, so him appearing alongside smaller sliver towers can serve to support the narrative of lacking the bigger thing and slowly rebuilding the various modular parts, that would appear as the scenery pieces in the different armies
>>97040080>Yeah, the early medieval period is quite clearly where the range set its roots, which is also why the mention of a flamethrower isn't that weird.Actually it's Late Medieval aesthetics. Hussite Wars happened close to the end of Medieval period
>>97040713Turns out I know jack shit about history.
>>97040713I think anon just mistyped, he posted a cannon after all
https://www.reddit.com/r/WarhammerInstructions/comments/1p3sfpg/warhammer_quest_darkwater_instructions/Some of the stuff got released early for darkwater instructions. Probably also means its getting its preorders announced tmr.
>>97040810Oh okay so those weird organ creatures were tokens and not enemies. I was confused because they were initially shown with the mire kelpies in the reveal show, but then weren't shown at all in the articles.
>>97040823they've popped up here and there but they didn't get their own pics yeah
Another heavily edited reformation pic, which I think is supposed to be the new ranged infantry?Also confirmation of the freeguild gargant being a thing (which is supposedly basically a bigass ogor warhulk in terms of looks). Some more descriptions:>this is a Gargant in full panoply of war In one fist he brandishes a colossal melee weapon, in the other a wrenched city gate >In one fist he brandishes a colossal melee weapon, in the other a wrenched city gate >Upon his back rests a mighty platform, manned by knights afoot in full plate who crew the heavy cannon
New leak>CoS Gargant in full panoply of war>In one fist he brandishes a colossal melee weapon, in the other a wrenched city gate>Upon his back rests a mighty platform, manned by knights afoot in full plate who crew the heavy cannon>Freeguild Gargants aren’t 1 model
>>97040850>>97040854>More "dudes riding giant dude" modelsI'm afraid it's peak
>>97040850I'm pretty sure that image is part of the gargant
>>97040850avtually nvm this is probably the gargant?Which there seem to be more than one model of?All in all fuck tons of rumours bros

Hot of the press>Erasmus Zonn - The Enlightened One>Founder and Master of The Lucid Fellows>The mightiest of mortal mages, Keeper of Forbidden Lore, Great Sage of the Illuminated>He mounts a chimera of fell cunning, leading the uprising of humankind against Lumineth hypocrisy and tyranny
>>97040854>>97040860Now I want to see a chaos counterpart as a Helsmiths siege gargantAnd make it a RoR so I can model up a skaven version!
>>97040878Tzeentch?
>>97040884Or a legegendary CoS mage
>See warscrolls>See slaves of darkenss legends tribes>Most of the tribe minis i liked have the same hit/wound roll and ranged stats weapon, the only difference is passive and it's something smallI can see why all of those warcry minis went straitght to legends, but it's sad to see such good mini designs get shelved and not stat changed to stay in the game
>>97040884I would believe so, cos seems to be getting a lot of shit already as it is, no need of this.also>chimera>forbidden lore>against lumineththat's not order
>>97040921Wasn't CoS getting generic mages?
>>97040884>>97040891Erasmus zonn does sound pretty sigmary, but the rest of his titles and stuff do lean tzeentch to me. Also a "chimera of fell cunning" sounds more chaos, especially tzeentch being the change dude fits with chimeras no? Also funny that lumineth are beset by not one but two named mounts that are smarter than they should be. Guess that's a consequence of living in the nerd realm.>>97040892They should've made a generic "realmborne cultist" or something warscroll where you can take little warcry themed upgrades, i.e. some poison for the splintered fang, companion attacks for the untamed beasts, extra save for the iron golems, etc.
>>97040854>Freeguild Gargants aren’t 1 modelHuh... That's weird and interestingUnless Gargant players tell me that 1 gargant unit are 2 or 3
>>97040946Mancrushers are 3 in a unit, only megas are 1 model units
>>97040878Man I dont know how to feel about tzeentch being rivals with lumineth. It just doesnt mesh well imo. Not as good as sylvaneth and nurgle, or daughters versus...I would say slaanesh but until malerion is here im gonna say khorne because khaine. Idk about idk.
>>97040956Confirmed to be Cities
>>97040956>Man I dont know how to feel about tzeentch being rivals with lumineth
>>97040991I think my issue is more with tzeentchs current identity than anything. >>97040984Honestly would be perfect. It’d be a nice twist of hfy.
>>97040991The storyline in this one was actually kinda cool.
>>97040850Alright schizoposting for a sec, some guy on tga is thinking the symbol on his shield (?) is the big one on the transfer sheet. I'm honestly not so sure, but if we roll with it I tried to scale the image to something similar using the freeguild steelhelm bannerguy, then compared to the existing gargant and warhulk kits. This was done in mspaint and it's obviously shoddy, but maybe it gives us an idea of the scale we're working with. But yeah keep in mind, house of cards etc.
The problem with helsmiths is if you need a horde you get 40-80 hobgrots.More hobgrots? Seriously? You could mix in some other horde units as proxies though.
>>97040854>cities gargant >heI sleep
>>97041127Dorfs did have rangers as fodder, then warriors as frontlineHelmsmiths are elite and meatshields atm, do feel that armored hobgrots or slaves would help more for swarm, but since it's GW we will have to wait and see what else do they bring...Hoping for black orruk slaves
>chimera Does this still count as a bird
>>97041183Part of it at least
>>97040928they were mentioned by boole and the new guy, yes3 wizards, bright, light and deathwho knows if it's 3 different blisters, one multikit, or a unit of 3 like the palooza
>>97041017or the new models are using a new set of transfers
>>97041183>>97041222Chimera ia lion+goat+snake. Manticore has wings
>>97041448not in wahmma
>>97039118>Bros these things are TINY, like really really tiny. The eyes are like a single brush bristle sizeyou may have to paint with your brush tip but I would stop by your local hobby store and pick up some smaller brushes, those "starter brushes" you get in those packs are crap, and probably not as small as you'll want for model painting. Worth also getting a small makeup brush so you can try dry brushing. And a spray can of primer, paint on primer works but it just takes longer for nothing. >>97039136strong bionicles vibes, cool stuff
>Possibility of some Eshin refreshes and a new character next yearI needed that good news. Now to work on coping with the fact they'll try and charge me like $3 a model for more fodder.
>>97041129the cos gargant kit contains TWO gargants, chances are one is male and the other is female, or if they're in gender neutral gear like the warhulk, then there will be a female head option
>>97041143You absolutely need 2 units of Hobgrots. The Kohort and Bulltaurs melt way too fast.
>>97041492Wait, the Hulk has a female option?
>>97041501real talk i think people are gonna figure out very fast that one of the best lists for helsmiths starts with minimum 60 hobgrots
>>97040921FUCK, he confirmed it's a CoS character now>CoS>Wrought from Settler's Gain, his sovereign mastery of the arcane proved such that neither Teclis nor the Tzeentch could turn their gaze from him. His renown echoes throughout Hysh, and upon this foundation he has raised an order to defy the Lumineth.>Though the Lumineth have woven many a scheme to see him undone, each has been unraveled by his wisdom. He bears an Artifact of terrible might — the Lantern of All-Knowledge.>Now the Lumineth seek to unseat him through a ploy of peaceful subversion — a design that plays directly into his stratagems. He has compelled them to treat justly with the other races of Settler's Gain, and taught them a measure of humility — or at the least, the semblance of it in his presence.>He alone of mortal kind may tread the Edge of Realms unscathed, plucking ancient lore and secrets even gods struggle to fathom

>>97041513Imagine mogging even tzeentch damn
>>97041513>picThe gun is basically what I'd have hoped the refreshed CoS soldiery would be outfitted with. Azyrite rifles constructed using realmstone and focusing lenses instead of black powder.
>>97041606A bit over the top innit?
Are CoS popular in you area? I only played like twice against them, since their 3e release
>want to hobby>can't because hemorrhoidsMaybe I should pick up Dankwater for Christmas.
>>97041626Nah, like HoH they flopped here. You can still find their battleforces from a long time ago like everywhere.
>>97041569I guess we are now getting more of the "Firepower" part.But that leaves the "Faith" part wanting with only Zenestra+Rumoured priest hero.I guess the Third Wave would be Flagellants
>>97041569I still haven't watched the Darkoath episode of H&B. I only know it by the edits. Is it fun?
>>97041569I'm gonna be sad if tall the new units are entirely composed of humans.
>>97039755>silver tower terrain for tzeentchmore than I expected for tzeentch to get this year, very nice. Definetly more interested in some weird tzeentch terrain than getting generic medieval tavern #4525
>>97041700>getting generic medieval tavern #4525Where did you see the first 4524 generic medieval taverns? Because I haven't seen one from GW and it would be nice to get.
>>97040545>fate masterfuck pity heroes, lets get doom knights on disc.
>>97040713Isn't it early modern because of the guns?
>>97041712TWW shit can stay in TWW.
>>97040850I literally cannot make out anything on this picture, you might as well have not posted anything marketer-kun
>>97041513We need more human wizards.
>>97041712How about instead of apeing more things from Fantasy we just get AoS stuff instead. If we want Fantasy we can always go to TOW.
>>97041698no elf or dwarf would dress like a dawnbringer stop asking for it
>>97041705When looking on any website that sells wargaming terrain. It's all historical shit and the same copy pasted generic medieval buildings. God forbid you want to find some steam punk stuff or anything that isn't bland fantasy/40k terrain.
>>97041513Cos is getting a ton of characters damn, on top of the ones they already have>spearhead forgepriest>3 battlemages>hysh guy>FUCK ELVES guyAlso this sounded like a really cool tzeentch character but I guess they're getting the silver tower so I can't complain>>97041729Gunpowder made its way to europe a lot earlier than most people think, was fairly common to see in wars from the second half of the 14th century already. CoS is very 14/15th century in their aesthetic, yknow late medieval, early renaissance, hussite stuff. I personally quite like it, it's something you don't see a lot in traditional fantasy compared to the classic high medieval stuff just like empire was, while still being distinct from said empire aesthetic.
>>97041729Even Ancient Greeks had primitive guns. And Romans could generate electrictiy, but didn't figure out any uses for it
>>97041735>>97041759>heavy flying cavalry for tzeentch is bad because uhhh, it's already a thing elsewhereI don't care, I want them in AoS.
>>97041712>lets get doom knightsThat's just a kitbash of tzaangor enlightened and chaos chosen
>>97041781ancient greeks had "greek fire" which we don't even really know exactly what it was, but supposedly it was some flammable liquid they pushed out of a tube, hardly a "gun" in any modern sense. >Romans could generate electricityis there electricity in AoS?
>>97041801>is there electricity in AoS?We call it Force Dynamics
>>97041729The first evidence we have of cannons in Europe is from 1321, handguns followed maybe a decade or two later (meaning they pre-date proper full plate armour by some sixty-seventy years). Siege artillery played a pivotal role in the mid to late Hundred Years War, and handguns were major thing in the Hussite Wars which, as the other anon pointed out, were a late medieval affair (ca 1419-1434). The ironweld cannon is based on 15th century designs, the fusiliers' guns on 14th-15th century ones.
>>97041801>is there electricity in AoS?skaven definitely use it, there're a few necromancers playing with it, kharadrons have something akin to neon lights, I think, sigmarites have lightnings in their spells, but I don't think they use it in their technologies per se.
>>97041790>should we patch the holes in Tzeenthc roster?>NO! we should add 3rd fucking 3 man unit on discs
>>97041795>literally any idea>just kitbash itgreat work genius, never thought of that one. Would be nice to have rules for them to actually play with them. Plus, they can do a lot differently with the design to differentiate them from chaos chosen.

>>97041790I just want to take this opportunity to post this image I found of an old conversion that is essentially a precursor of Creative Assembly's Doom Knights
>>97041820I suggest doom knights, which work as heavy cavalry or heavy infantry, neither of which tzeentch has. Your just having a melty because you don't like TWW frog tourist
>>97041825>Tzaangor Enlightned ARE your elite meleewe can do better>>97041835these are really neat, I especially like the worm shaped chaos spawn.
>CoS rides on top of buck-broken ogres and gargants>Ogors refresh will make the ogors embrace "the old ways" so no more cannons>Ironjawz lost their role as the face of destruction>the entire Age of the Beast storylineIs destruction the most pathetic alliance in the setting?
>>97041865>Is destruction the most pathetic alliance in the setting?Since Gitz exist, I am gonna say no, they are the one saving grace of Destruction lore wise AND model wise
>>97041865yes, but on the other hand they are the grand alliance where a combined arms force would look the best, and aos has shitty fucking rules that don't allow them to do that
If I was GW I'd make a big fat bloated Yellow Horror that is essentially a "Beast of Nurgle" but for Tzeentch and a Screamer hero like Karanak.Also, maybe, some sort of "Slenderman giant" made of warpfire that either teleports around or shoots like artillery or both
>>97041865Kruleboyz are cool and their models stab me
>>97041801They got magical electric batterieshttps://ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/Lightning_BatteryAlso dynamos get mentioned in dialog
>>97041865The idea that Destruction is "The Gork and Mork faction" instead of actually "The Destruction faction" was a disaster, and it's very hard to undo.Frankly the only two grand alliances that make sense are Chaos (good old Chaos!) and Death (a smash hit home run of storytelling with grandpa Nagash and his dementia empire)
>>97041932>The idea that Destruction is "The Gork and Mork faction" instead of actually "The Destruction faction" was a disaster, and it's very hard to undo.no
>>97041932I hated the gork and mork shit, ogres and giants going around worshipping a greenskin was always stupid as fuck even if it was handwaved away with aspects snd stuff. The everwinter was 10 times as based, and the new incarnation of the maw seems interesting too.
>>97041891>yellow horror has 6 wounds and comes in a squad of 3>yellow splits into 10 pinks upon death>pinks explode into 10 blue horrors >blues explode into 10 brimstone >opponent has to chew through 36 wounds to kill 1 yellow >" i reinforced the unit to 6 btw"
>>97041894Kruleboyz are the one time that "explaining someone into liking a design" actually worked. I hated their armor and weapons looking like weird jagged shit until I read one of their fluff blurbs that said they intentionally don't put too much effort into crafting weapons that they know can be dropped and lost easily in mud and water.
>>97041959As Tzeentch intended
>>97041959brimstone are already yellow, the next type of horror is green, and it would be green into 2 pinks into 4 blues into 8 yellows
woke up at 800it's not 1330but 80 clanrats assembled
Found this just now and thought it was neat to look at. I've seen some of it before but some of it is new to me.https://www.connorlaffey.co.uk/warhammer-realms-of-ruin
>>97041981What the fuck
Gave 4e the cold shoulder at first for IRL stuff, are endless spells/faction terrain still a must-have or can one get away with not using them now? Looking to play DoT or S2D specifically if that helps any specific arguments.
>>97041990the Eye Jewel on the right is lowered by the claw machine so that the Warriors of Chaos try to catch hit.Then as soon as somebody raises his arm and gets close the eye gets yanked back up and the two crow heads laugh at the warriors below.If you get angry and yell at the crow heads you turn to dust.Just as planned
>>97041990this is way weirder
>>97039118>bros these things are tinyLel yeah that caught me off guard when I first walked into a warhammer store after looking online for a bit. I mentally imagined the minis to be twice the size they actually were or something. And then when painting them for the first time I really had an insane amount of admiration for the detail some people managed to paint. Good times.
>>97042023Moving through realms?It's all very shrimple actually
>>97042023
>>97042023Spawn of fangathrak?
I've already got my Silver Tower terrain piece ready.
>>97042052I think Games Workshop is trying to pretend all Jon Sullivan maps never existed
>>97042023It also looks sick. I want someone, literally any faction at all, to ride giant land-prawns into battle.
>>97042071They mentioned Parasite Engines at the beginning of 4th
>>97041990Some of the command structures were nice.
>>97042071fangathrak has been mentioned after that, those maps may not be accurate, especially in tone and presentation, but what they contain is definitely still canon
>>97042046>Krules using worms & dogs as traps and area denialHey this is cool! They should have this in plastic! And their own battletome!
>want to buy marauders>forget they were to be up for pre order today>sold out before the warcom article goes up to inform meGenuine question. Is GW retarded? How difficult is it to put up the warcom like a minute before the pre orders go live and not fucking hours after they sell out. Maybe there is a second wave, they said it's a limited edition box but it says temporarily here so maybe wave 2 is coming like with the battlefroces.
>>97042103>Is GW retarded?yes
>>97042046I know realms of ruin was a mess but some of the concepts that came out of it were genuinely fun.
>>97041990https://youtu.be/xysIN10DgL8?si=02adA28Bc4HTIMhL
>>97042076>>97042085I wish we got a super detailed and beautiful Mortuary Factory terrain piece so that guy who used to infest this general with shitposts would go ballistic
>>97041996You've never "needed" that shit unless you're the kind of tourneyfag who's currently running Skarbrand in the other three god-aligned armies. Rocking manifestations in Tzeentch is fluffy as hell though and I'm not sure why you're averse to the idea.
>>97042111It wasn't a bad game, it was just a "multiplayer only" rts with niche appeal, which means one week after release you couldn't find another player to do a 1v1.It was conceptually doomed.
Genuinely pains me that Tzeentch daemons won't get the same lovingly treatment model wise as NurgleIts just not fair
>>970421345th edition....Surely....
>>97042103Your fault honestly. With how cheap this box is for what you get you should have expected it to sell out rather fast. Although I didn't expect Space Marine speed either truthfully.
>>97042125zero points kits that cost 70$ are a net negative on the game.>just play narrative browith that excuse literally anything GW does can be excused.The idea that "only tourneyfag WAACfags" care about balance is the reason why the game launched with no points and it's an untrue assumption.
>>97042134It hurts even more because pic related shows what new horrors would look like and they look awesome.
>>97041991got the skaventide box's rat half for cheapand then another 40 NOS for 20 bucks
>>97042086>And their own battletome!They've done enough damage.
>>97042148We can prove that casuals like balance quite easily too:>go to play chess with a buddy>his entire back row are all queens>complain>’bro only tournyfags care about balance’
>>97042153DoT should go all in on THE THING like mutations for everyone.
>>97042134I think I understood why:flamers, screamers, gaunt summoners, horrors, tzaangors: these things were designed individually with no cohesion.>I think they do have some sort of design cohesion and identityhere's my realization: some people think they do, and other people think they don't.Games Workshop thinks they don't.They want to rework it all at some point and they see the whole range as a messy failure.Personally I don't see it that way, the range could be updated successfully, meaningfully, and with small touch ups it could be made much more cohesive, it's not a herculean task....but GW thinks it is.That's why they never want to do Tzeentch. They introduced the "fire" theme and the "fish" theme and the "horrors" theme and they fucking hate them. They want to do more birds and more eyes, or something, they want to rethink it all.It's the only explanation for their generational neglect: they dislike the foundational pillar of the core starting units.
>>97042167You didn't clean the mouldlines.
>>97042190No. What they need is a new daemonic herald on foot. Because they haven't got one of those.
>>97042194All in on birds & crhulhuRaven knights with feather capesDaemonic swarms of crows pecking out eyesMicolash type wizards with bird cage hatsArchers with hawks too
>>97042168>bonesplitterzYou could genuinely count the amount of worldwide bonesplitter players on your hamds
>>97042224I am pretty sure it's more so because some "anti racist" at GW saw the bonesplittaz and began complaining about how they are racist caricatures of African tribals.
>>97042198Yes I did lmao
Which book should I get?Not shown: Blacktalon
>>97042257>I am pretty sureDo tell why.
>>97042269Double Eagle, Interceptor City, or Above and Beyond.

>>97042282Leftist corpos think Orcs = Black People.
>>97042194>flamers, screamers, gaunt summoners, horrors, tzaangors: these things were designed individually with no cohesionFlamers, horrors and screamers are fantasy models and their current design can not be seen as part of the DoT range.And tzaangors have the same armor as kairics, the cursling and magister.What tzeentch needs is updated horrors, flamers etc and a unit of forsaken with heavy armor.Add the vortex beast and mindstealer pharanx as monsters and its good.Maybe add the big horror >>97041891 mentioned as the beast of nurgle equivalent and a unit of familiar like pic related.
>>97041894i really enjoyed the characterization of kruleboyz in the video game, they are basically the orcs from lord of the rings when they're all arguing over meat next to fangorn forest
>>97042310Fuck that bitch ass nigga he isn't gonna pay your rent when you need money
>>97042282>>97042325In DND they think of orcs as Mexicans. Anglos think of orcs as Africans.
>>97042346Fucking Hell I am so glad I never got into dnd what is this abomination
>>97042345I don't pay rent though
So with tzeentch getting mentions the only armies left with no battletome and no rumours at all are slaanesh, seraphon and lumineth right? Though I guess loomies have that one random hoeth comment.
>>97042257or it could be that the whole collection was just 2 plastic kits that no one wanted to buy in the first place so they scrapped a failed product line
>>97042359Slaanesh has rumors/leaks and is getting a foot hero speculated to be a Blissbarbette to lead the archers.
>>97042367It could, but it's unlikely when you take into account the strange racial hangups the creatives have at Nottingham.
>>97042367They were from WFB and were actually quite popular in AoS back in the day.
>>9704231380 clanrats cleaned and assembled in a little over 5 hours isn't that crazy especially since outside of the banners/leaders/musicians they're 4 repeats per sculpt
>>97042381i played a lot of 1st and 2nd edition in the midwest and only ever saw a single bonesplitterz player, and it wasnt his main army. it was also ass to play against, literally just 300 naked orcs. it was just a raw bucket of dice pile of wounds math army with no interesting gameplay or units whatsoever. literally just dudespam the army, even worse than fyreslayers
>>97042378Wasn't aware of that, did this new guy say anything about them?Speaking of, I think the gargant kit is almost guaranteed to be two of them yeah. If you look at it closely you can see the curved part of the gate, which whould need another half to actually form the gate. You can also faintly make out the fancy "bars" that CoS has, like on the steelhelm and fusilier shields.
>>97042431So basically two giants carrying both halves of this essentially.I wonder if gw is going to address them, the potatocam is getting clear enough that you can actually make out images, and the dude is posting actual rules and shit now. Assuming it's actually real (and it's not a plant) they'd want to get ahead of this. Maybe some reveals monday?
Looks like we are getting some more StD proxies. This time God marked chaos warriors. Going off other arcane journals. These are 1 to 1 of how the models shields will look like as well.
>>97042452If tow wanted to differentiate their chaos warrior models this would be one way to do it I guess, and I certainly wouldn't be against more options for blood warriors and myrmidesh, not to mention fucking tzeentch.Seems like a rather strange allotment of resources though. Also haven't they really been hammering home that chaos divided isn't really a thing in the tow time period? Would be quite the 180
>>97042452those khorne shields will look great on my WE army
>>97042484>Also haven't they really been hammering home that chaos divided isn't really a thing in the tow time period?Historically Chaos was never binary prior to AoS. in Fantasy. You were either godmarked or undivided, you were just Chaos and you could run an army dedicated to a single God or run a bunch of units with different marks as an undivided army or just take undivided marks only for another type of undivided army. The differentiation of these factions as their standalone factions rather than aspects of a whole is a recent GW move for both AoS and 40k. Also the rumors have the 6 Chaos kits and Kislev as the next major releases. That's because the narrative is building for the Great War against Chaos, which involves Chaos doing a massive invasion from the North into Kislev.
>>97042346This is what happens to a game when DEI hires have creative power. Magic looks worse than that (since 2018)
>>97042519Yeah I know that individual chaos armies weren't a thing in aos, I was just under the impression that gw was really keeping things focused on pure undivided for tow. But that's just secondhand information of course, I don't actually know mucy about how they're handling stuff over there.Anyway, how would this kit work? Bits to make all your warriors fully devoted to any one god? Sounds like a lot a challenge to fit into one box. Would chosen, knights, ... get a similar treatment?
>>97042568We don’t know many details other than those shields and there being 6 kits alongside and then full sized Kislev release. This is just for major releases (kits), there’s a bunch of books in the works too. The Mammoth kit is the only one we have specifics.
>Waaaah I want Tzeentch to be Cronenbergian and shit!Well I want DoT to have bipedal fish and I care a lot more about that.
>>97042333>Add the vortex beast and mindstealer sphiranx as monsters and its goodI want them so badly, GW please just write them into the battletome so I can use them. I don't really see the point of a "big Horror" when they could just add the mutalith. I suppose there could be something in between normal horrors and the mutalith, but I'd rather they do something original instead of "even bigger horror". It starts to get into squig territory and that kind of silly stuff doesn't really fit tzeentch.
>>97042380No I don't think it is. Bonesplitterz were a half ass faction and got squatted appropriately. If fyreslayers didn't have magmadroths and flame elements to them, they would have been dropped off too.
>>97042673Its just so bizarre why gw isnt adding them properly into the faction, same for the slaughter brute and khorne >inb4 "he's bound by a magic daggerNow its a special khorne demon dagger
>>97042627Based [spoiled] slop [/spoiler] enjoyer
>>97042346The Aztecs and Mexicans are renowned for their eagle hunting uh huh why keep the traditional Mongol influence if they're just WE WUZ COWBOYS
Confirmation that cogforts will be available to all GA's, apparently with different warscrolls for each:>It has dedicated rules assigned to the Four Great Alliance, usable by all factions>Oh, and it comes with 6 different Warscrolls>I'm afraid CoS armies should probably get at least 4 Cogforts — gotta say>H25?>Save3+?
>>97042194>fish themeI don't really see much of a fish theme besides starfysh and slop, which are some obscure, very much not mainline units. Tzeentch has a lot of weird shit, so continuing to make weirdo freaks works but I get what you mean. It's nowhere nearly as cohesive of a concept as nurgle or khorne. I like the birds but I don't really want them to go all in on birds for the whole range. Esoteric cosmic horror with eyes and tentacles is cool and fits tzeentch well so I hope they go more in that direction.
You now remember that ogroid theridons have the 4 god marks for their banner but are STD exclusive.
>>97042731So the cogfort is just a piece of terrain with special rules? A la the 40k bastion defences? That’s lame. It means instead of being a mainstay it’ll stop receiving rules in a few years and be forgotten.
>>97041996>do you need endless spells for tzeentchbrother, you have like 30 spell casting heroes, what do you think.
>>97042056Cool stuff, did you design that yourself or did you find the STL somewhere?
>>97041996dsiciples still has a regiment of renown with the endless spells for cheap on ebay
>>970419964e sucks balls I would highly recommend you play a few games before deciding to buy more. A lot of people have dropped out in my area due to the 40kification of AoS this edition, gameplay wise I mean .
>>97042751I don't think that's what he's implying, no. Earlier he talked about the rules for the hysh wizard dude, who's apparently able to teleport units, and he mentioned you wanna do this with your cogforts. Idk how the bunkers work in 40k but the fact that cogforts have legs should also make them a lot more difficult.What I'm more worried about is the sheer practicality of bringing on to the table. I also think big expensive units like that (with shooting!) are going to be hard to balance, at least from what I've heard about knights in 40k again.
>>97042346>characterize a fictional race as stupid, dumb, ugly, violent murder machines>Wow these guys remind me of brown people!western lefties are the most racist people alive
>>97042386a better question is what would drive someone to put together 80 clanrats. Why not any other skaven unit
>>97042806Cause I've already built and painted the rest of my skaventide box and am waiting on my christmas box now
>>97042789I would guess that the cogfort is probably slow as shit and you'll need something to teleport it into combat. >What I'm more worried about is the sheer practicality of bringing on to the table. I also think big expensive units like that (with shooting!) are going to be hard to balance, at least from what I've heard about knights in 40k againthere's a fine line but it's very doable. As long as it's not completely fuckhuge, they could could cost it points wise like the KO ironclad, giving it a better melee profile with worse movement. It might end up being more like Alarielle or Archaon on the dragon where it's more of a decorative model and points costed way too high for a normal 2k game. I don't think it should be too hard to get something closer to the ironclad in size and stats but time will tell
>>97042822I am a little apprehensive because of the hit and miss recent releases. Hopefully we get Maggotkin tier sculpts and not HoH type shit. A bad looking cogfort with good rules could ruin the aesthetic of AoS tables.
>>97042837> not HoH type shit. A bad looking cogfort with good rules could ruin the aesthetic of AoS tablesHelsmiths have the opposite problem, good models and bad rules for the models like the bull cannon.
>>97041990>Noooo, GW please I promise I'll sell better, just let me out of the- ACK
>>97042848I mean, it's subjective, but I and many others genuinely don't like the direction they chose to take with HoH. Sometimes too much creative freedom can be a very bad thing.
>>97042865>many othersAre they in the room with us, schizo-kun?The HoH release was universally loved and almost all of their kits are sold out everywhere besides the Army Set which they thankfully made a lot of.
>>97042926Uh yeah...im the schizo here...
>>97042865>Sometimes too much creative freedom can be a very bad thing.*Although this truism is not exemplified in the HoH release.
>>97042929Glad you agree.
>>97042708I once had a dream where they finally revealed cavalry for Kruleboyz, and it was hobgrots riding bigger versions of Slop. It was incredible.
>>97042926>>97042865There are dozens of us! Or, one pair at least! I don't like them much either.
>>97042848The bull cannons not bad, just specialized
>entire Zharrdron civilization spent 500 years plotting to conquer the known cosmos but held back in anticipation of the ideal moment to strike
>>97043038Kruelboyz should have got wolf riding cavalry, not gloomspite, it makes no sense.Gloomspite already had two other types of cav units with multiple larger versions, so why did they get a 3rd option that doesn't fit their aesthetic as well when kruelboyz had nothing? If they had given kruelboyz the wolf riders and put them in a split faction box with gloomspite on squigz it would have been awesome.
>>97042859Incidentally the ogroid thaumaturge was never part of the BoC range.
>>97042848The Dominator is the exact precise inverse of "good model bad rules"
>>97043056Wolfs were meant to replace spiders
>>97043068but they already had squigs? I dont' see the point of giving them another cavalry unit, especially one that's less thematically appropriate. Kruelboyz suneaters vs badmoon cultists would have been an easy slam dunk but instead gitz gets more weird bloat while the boyz have a gaping hole in their army.
>>97043056>why did they get a 3rd optionOrcs & Goblins had goblins riding wolves in WHFB. It's really that simple.>Kruelboyz should have got wolf riding cavalryWell that would be boring.
>>97043081>Orcs & Goblins had goblins riding wolves in WHFB. It's really that simple.and kruelboyz were based on the old orcs of WHFB, so they would have fit just fine>well that would be boringmore boring than gitz on wolfs? I just can't imagine why someone playing the goofy faction that already has fantastic model cavalry units with squigz would want to get wolf riders instead.
>>97043068If that is true then who do you think they are going to give the spider motif to instead?
>>97043115Probably TOW. Would make sense trying to differentiate them from Gitz.
Can I use mtg cards as a replacement for plasticard?
>>97043080Why do soulblight have blood knights and black knights? Why do lumineth have horses and kangaroos? Why do seraphon have aggradons and raptadons and terradons?
>>97043250why do lumineth have those weird kangaroo things, I have no idea what they're going for there. LRL is a reall weird aesthetic mishmash of traditional high elves and random shit. >goku cloud riding guy with a fan>weird horned kangaroo torrent looking mount>bull mountain god things>sphinx monsterI don't really see the through line for what their deal is.
>>97041835God I love the old Horrors with the smaller ones fighting their way out of the bigger ones mouths, it just looks so cool.
>>97043341age of sigmar has always had panoplies of weird creatures. its only very recently that they've started moving back to more old school horses and wolves
>>97043094>I just can't imagine why someone playing the goofy faction that already has fantastic model cavalry units with squigz would want to get wolf riders >insteadi think you mean in addition. owning wolfs doesnt mean you cant own squigs at the same time. my army has cool squigs? great. my army also has cool wolves now? also great
If I could make Warcry 3e, the big & cool box would have a set of skavenized city terrain and be witch hunters vs plague monks. The general storyline is warbands are looting the remains of aqshian cities destroyed by the vermindoom, with some factions just in it for the bag with others trying to stake a permanent claim. The starter set will repackage Embergard's teams with Skaventide's terrain
>>97042346But what a load of crap! It's things like this that made me leave D&D. I just hope and pray that things will go back to normal with time. Maybe.
>>97043741Warcry had to die because it was mogging the mainline AoS releases and making them look bad
This read decently as chamon-esque basing? Anything simple I could do to sell it more?
>>97043560Hey stop that. That's illegal. Stop having fun.
daily reminder that in 1967, no costume technology existed that could show independent muscle movement through fur.You can clearly see muscles of the:>thigh>calf >buttocks>back/shoulders shifting and flexing as the creature walks.
>>97043913>no costume technology existed that could show independent muscle movement through fur.lmao uwot
Is it worth getting both sets? (both are discounted)The warhulk dude and gunners double up though so is that still okay?
>>97043929Have you built and painted before or is this your first foray into hobbying? If you're just starting out don't grab a fuckton of models off the bat, you might find out you don't like the hobby or burn yourself out trying to work through the backlog
>>97043868Kinda just looks like texture paste sprayed copper and recess washed with nihilakh oxide
>>97043868Really brighten the hell out of the metallic bits. Put some gold flecks or just have some metallics with shiny edge highlighting to really sell the standing on a metal veined rock. Dunno if your doing this for KO specifically but for my KO army I'm going to try clouds and water like pic related to imitate the ground from high altitude. You could also just do a small dirt mound with snow on it to give the effect of a snow capped mountain.
>>97043920that is an absolute fact. Multiple actual hollywood suit producers said it was beyond their capabilities at the time. Hell, to this day no one has managed to produce a similar suit. This is all verifiably fact. And I'm supposed to believe Patterson, or some trapper in his shitty mining town he paid to make it for him and keep it on the downlow, knew how to create a suit that not even the experts have managed to replicate to this day? Over 50 years Hollywood artists, Digital artists, Practical effects designers, Skeptical recreators have all attempted to replicate the PGF creature and every single attempt>Lacks the muscle ripple>Has wrong proportions>Shows visible suit seams>Moves like a man in a suitDespite>Modern materials>CGI augmentation>Specialized muscle-suit designNo one has matched the PGF anatomy convincingly. If it were possible in 1967, it should be trivial to reproduce now. It isn’t.

>>97043940It's a few more steps than that but I am aiming for something I can bust out decently easily while still looking nice since I'll have a fuckton of bases to go through>>97043941They're for my skaven but somebody a couple threads ago suggested chamon basing and I liked the thematics of itHave another base waiting for the paste to set up to test out another workflow starting with an oxide-y orangebrown and drybrushing with a dark steel and highlighting up from there, with some streaks of gold running through as wellwas also thinking of grabbing some water gel and mixing it with a bright silver for streams on some of the bigger bases
>>97043946I would maybe grab the spearhead first and give that ago before grabbing the other box, I'm not a cities player so i have no idea if the unit spread is good. >painting necrons ain't hardCities is in the top 5 hardest to paint factions for AoS, maybe top 3. More than the actual difficulty, it's also just very time consuming if you want to actually paint all the different details and filigree to look kind of how it looks on the box. If you're coming from 40k you should already know what your getting into, but I would expect painting CoS units to take probably 3 times as long as necrons.
>>97043965Yeah they look like they are a lot of work but they don't see all that hard to paint. There's a lot of armor on them and also wood. Normally I would get the Spearhead and paint it up but there are some good black friday deals and obviously that won't be the case for too long.
>>97043979>black friday dealsif they're anything like my LGS it's probably only 10-15% off from whatever the current LGS price is. I've picked up most of my army second hand. You can't always find exactly what you need but on ebay and facebook marketplace you can get stuff for way better prices. Most of the stuff I've gotten on ebay was probably 80-70% of MSRP, and that was for sealed, in the box stuff, if it's already assembled or painted you might get it even lower.
>>97044005Yeah it's about 20% off from the LGS price. Marketplace is not very active in my country and they rape you on import taxes if you buy from outside the EU.
>>97043929Doubling up on the Warhulks and Fusiliers isn't the worst thing, but that is a fuckload of dudes to paint - and they're all very detailed.
>>97043929>>97043946Fuck off decalfag, go back to your containment thread
Does anyone know good proxxies for the terrain used in spearhead? I can't find the board and terrain that came in the fire and jade pack so I'm thinking I can print another set. As for the board, do people sell proxy mats? I'm trying to do a teaching game with my brother and it's just better to use the official mat for clarity.>>97043929The founding foray christmas box is pretty good but the new spearhead is kind of redundant with the ogor character.See if you can get the old spearhead. I think GW is still making them but snag it if you can. It has steelhelms (which you will need) and some more cav and another canon. It's just a cooler and more useful box vs the warcry guys, more rifles, and another ogor.I also heard the new spearhead is weaker than the old one in the actual game of Spearhead.>>97041688I saw it a while ago. It's the one with the wilderfiend and the giant cogfort right? I liked it but realistically I think scantily armored barbarians even on horseback should get BTFO'd by an oranized sigmarite platoon with shields and firearms.
>>97044069>>97044138I have decided to get pic related for now. It was priced like the Spearhead so pretty good. Unfortunately the old Spearhead is not available. I'll get The Founding Foray after I paint the army set as it's available in multiple LGS' so I won't miss out on it.>>97044135What?
>>97044168Hope you didn't pay for anything but the models and transfers.
>>97044177I essentially paid for two units of Steelhelms and got the rest for free.
>>97044138If you look up Skaventide terrain, it's the same thing and tons of people sell that shit second hand. Might be a bit annoying to get it with the board but you should be able to get both together 50-60 bucks if you look around online. If you want to proxy something it's 4 small fences and a basicaly rectangular coffin and a hexagon, so you could easily cut out some paper markers if you just want to teach someone the game.
Which army has the best cavalry?
>>97044271Gitz. No contest
>>97044168>army boxlucky you found it for the price you did. You're going to need the steel helms and 10-20 more but I'm not a CoS fag so idk for sure. It should be a good compliment to whatever other box you get, so go nuts. even the new spearhead I advised against would be good choice.>what?it's a /40kg/ thing. A couple trolls have the entire thread mindbroken by simply posting a couple cringy images every so often. the guy telling you to fuck off is one such schizo who thinks you're a space wolves collector they call "decalfag"then again they play 40k so what do you expect, really?
>>97044317Yeah I've been looking through some lists to see what a CoS army looks like and it seems that most of them go hard on cavalry. I guess that I'll just do a variety of units since CoS is supposed to get a battletome and another wave next year so I won't be in a hurry to start playing. Of course I'm sticking to the new stuff as I expect CoS to lose some units and gain new ones. I'm looking forward to painting their knights.As for /40kg/ I stay away from them so I have no knowledge about their posters. I hope they stay away from this thread as it's super comfy.
Can’t stop thinking about the order of the furrow.
Can't stop thinking about Alarielle's feet.
>>97042763No I played a now dead game.
>>97038589Soon
well, no more blurry shit
>>97044434I now expect boole to come back in a purely incidental fashion
>>97044337>3 cannons>spam Command Corps>Cav>Obligatory Wizard/Priest (usually Zenestra)>Callis and Toll + their friends
>>97044462Yeah that's exactly what I saw, also a variation with that flying lion lady.
>>97044471AoS tourny meta is very stagnant and depressing.
>>97044476It's still not as bad as some other armies.
>>97044480I'm referring to AoS as a whole, but yeah. Most lists are just 3 Warscrolls being spammed, we're at least like 5.
>>97044434Watch literally all of the "photos" being AI generated fakes
Can't stop thinking about sexcow
Why do some people seethe at leaks and insist they are bad and evil? I think it's good to know what to expect and it helps people decide on a new army. Knowing your army is fucked for the next 2 years vs. knowing it's gonna get a wave of models is huge yet some people seethe and don't want there to be any leaks (even though they can just not view them if they don't want to) and cry how tough of a job GW employees have when they have to adjust and cover for various leaks. I mean who gives a shit if we force them to show us something early.
>>97044599Sounds more like he thinks they're bullshit larp
>>97044599I feel like people get upset when they can't just make up things coming soon. Before we'd have people say shit was coming, call it a wishlist, and tell him to fuck off, but they'd usually carry on about it for a few months and make it their new fun shitpost like fimir for 3rd edition or fishmen in 2nd
>>97044616To be fair the fimir faggot still continues his shtick half a decade later, long after it's gotten old
>>97044599in that case I think it's seething at fake and gay leaks specifically
For someone trying to make a come back after skipping the 3e, what is the rule of thumb for listbuilding? I bought SCE halves of Skaventide and Dominion, 5 Vigilors, 5 Vanquishers and a Chariot. I don't really care for meta and my goal is to build a singleton army (no more than one copy of each unit) but I still want to make it as reasonable as possible.
>>97044601>>97044616I saw plenty of people complaining about the Nightbringer leak which forced GW to just show the whole model because it wasn't "hype" enough. I don't get it personally.
>>97043929I painted the Wildercorps Hunters. They were a joy to paint, and the dogs too. I breezed through them in a week. From experience, painting dudes on horses is a pain if you're a perfectionist and sub assemble them in parts to paint everything on them. Big war machines too. The rest looks prety easy though. I say go for it, but then I did paint an entire army of Skaven (310 models) so these look like a fairly easy job to me.
>>97044631I think you kind of answered your own question anon. As always pick the models you will enjoy hobbying and be proud to field. It's fine to make a neat fluffy list but don't expect to win. Throw in a couple reliable, meta options that you like as a safeguard to prevent a total stomp, I suppose.
I painted up some individual models over the past couple weeks and i finally sat down to varnish and clean up the stains on the base.
>>97044677unfortunately my iPhone camera fucking sucks at photographing models and I have to send it to myself via whatsApp to save room in my email
>>97044679>>97044677
>>97044599>Why do some people seethe at leaks and insist they are bad and evil? For me specifically those blurred photos feel more luke controlled marketing than real leaks, that is either done by gw themselves or some idiot who wants attention.Pic related for example was a real leak, people can actually see the miniature and start speculating what the rest of the range looks like etc.For the example in your picture, its fucking reddit what do you expect.
>>97044683forgot the picture
>>97044553I'd climb her peaks and plant my flag in them if you get what I mean
>>97044715and boobs
>>97044715>and plant my flagSame.
>>97044553Haha I wonder who has to do her sweaty laundry after battle I bet it's stimky haha
>>97044480To be fair slinging around 5 terrogheists and two dragons looks kinda fun. Very surprised it's actually good though
>>97044480This is just 2e Gristlegor
Dark water is like 160gp so uh…$220 usd?
I just hope the new CoS stuff isn't a bunch of human freeguilders, and especially not a bunch of human freeguilders with with regressed technology and basic bitch real world animal companions.

>Perlo felt fragile things crunch beneath her as she fought her way back up the shifting bank. One hand came up with something thin-walled and hollow. A skull, she thought, and then, A cup? But it was neither. In her hand sat a broken egg, lozenge-shaped and as big as her fist. Through the end she’d smashed open she saw a curled-up lizard shape, large-headed, premature.>‘Pools of breeding.’ Irixi was wringing at its robe.>‘I’m sorry.’>‘For why?’>‘Your… young. Your children, or…?’ The thing in the egg certainly looked like it might have grown up into an Irixi. Or else just some big lizard. The whole thing seemed oddly heavy, and she realised it had been transmuted into or coated with stone. Some quality of the water, she guessed. Shyish, obsessively burying and fixing everything that came under the realm’s aegis.>‘Is not of children. Is of beast. Beast-servant.’ The Seraphon looked from her to the egg. ‘Divine Starborne, we form of the waters, of the magic, of the will of the Masters. Only lesser beings arise from egg or womb.’>That’s put me in my place, Perlo thought. Did that mean the Seraphon weren’t really… alive, like some magical construct? She felt an acute stab of alienation, trying to understand life without something as intrinsic as family, children
>>97044871fuck, spoilers
>>97044599I think reddit doesn't realise that they come from tga, from a guy with at least some credibility. So it's just random blurry pics with zero provenance to them. It's funny how mad they get though.>>97044830Damn, I think that's the same price as skaventide. So 210 euros, like 250 burgers? Quite hefty, cursed city was a lot less.
>>97044871>The Seraphon looked from her to the egg. ‘Divine Starborne, we form of the waters, of the magic, of the will of the Masters. Only lesser beings arise from egg or womb.’based Irixi putting the warmbloods in their place
>>97044599>I CAN'T JUST IGNORE THEM OKAY?! STOP GIVING THESE GUYS ATTENTION IT'S UNFAIR TO GW PLUS IT'S A CONTROLLED LEAK OBVIOUSLY
>>97044138If you're not in a tournament the exact placement doesn't matter. Just throw 6" circles down in approximate locations. A 160mm base is good for this tbhon, though 6" is actually 154mm or something
Someone just told me that sisters of silence wouldn’t look out of place with stormcast and that realization hit me like a fucking truck.
>>97044940If you abstract it to >armoured guys fit with armoured guys then yeah. If you don't have autism it's obvious they share next to nothing in common.
>>97044881I figured it should be okay since it doesn't say anything about what they're doing together.
>>97044949I've not read the post in any case, just seen it was from the novel, carry on
>>97044940yeah their power armor doesnt actually have any of the mechanical power armor elements or like power packs or anything, and the armor style is fairly reminiscent of stormcastthe only real problem is that the models themselves look small even on their 32mm bases. so they 100% would not work for stormcast. but for some kind of stormcast adjacent cities of sigmar unit or like elven allies of sigmar or something? surethat said, at $60 for 5 small models, you're not exactly in for a bargain, and you'd kinda just be better off buying vanquishers or something where you get twice the models for the cost and they're actually stormcast
>>9704500360 for 5 sisters is really weird, are they resin or something? They don't seem like very ornate models or anything
>>9704503040k taxplus they're probably like 15pts for 5
Quick little bloodreaver I did today. Told myself I’d batch paint but I kind of just kept going while the other 6 remaining minis watched. Not gonna highlight it, base coat + washes are enough for these chumps that die to a mean look. Got 6 more to go
>>97045104Backside of this manlet
>>97045104>>97044677Looks cool as hell. Almost makes me wish I picked Khorne as my chaos patron to paint up.
>>97045030not resin, 40ks just very expensive. they sell people 3 marines for $60unfortunately aos is starting to do this now too, with shit like boltboyz and brute ragerz
>>97045123Thanks. Too bad they have really odd proportions that are almost comical. I only got the spearhead to get a taste of the mortal side but I know their overdue refresh is gonna be awesome.
>>97044599I remember in monster hunter there were a significant amount of people getting pissed, not at data miners and leaks, but at marketing reveals. They felt entitled almost to going into a game completely blind. Probably doesn’t translate well to war games though
Since we are talking about Bloodreavers, I just painted those a few days agoI'm painting another 10 right now
>>97045408I really adore the BoK that launched the army in 2015. Yeah the models look cartoony and have stocky proportions, but I find that charming. They look like evil henchmen from a Hanna-Barbera cartoon with a grimdark glazing. Just lovely little dudes.
>>97045102Wdym that’s how a bunch of the 5 model units are priced
Someone explain why they Legends Kainans gang? It's not like the reapers are drowned for choice in terms of units what with having 20 of them including all the characters.
>>97045432Yeah, I presumed GBP or Euro but still £38 for 100pts, 5 models £40 for 280pts, 5 Chaos Chosen models 40k is more expensive in general
>>97045470If they were a generic unit they would sell more of them which is obviously not in GW's best interests I think it's a supply issue. If GW can't keep it in stock and provide official rules for models in rotation production they lose any copyright battle against people making rip offs intended for proxies like chapterhouse which would snowball into exposing how ridiculous their IP rights are
Come to think of it, despite there being a whole game about the Silver Towers the Gaunt Summoners fly around in, I don't believe there's a visual for the Silver Towers in AoS.
>>97045637Probably has something to do with everyone being in it. Though I think there is a visual of it in wrath of the everchosen, I might be misremembering however.

>To anyone who've readHow gay is this thing? Bad Loon Rising was a huge bait and switch with half the book being a lesbian love drama.
>>97045687
>>97045676Damn this one is pretty cool
>>97045710nothing gay on my end yetunless you really want to force a ship between gokumet the saurus and vael(geta) the stormcast
>>97045726Do they do the annoying they/them shit, or are they 'it' ?How is the book, good?
>>97045738 >>97045738
>>97045735It.Could be better, the book evidently exists just for the author to try his best at handling very different points of views between the human and lizard characters; it's having some nice moments, but I think the differences fall flat after a while, becoming slightly predictable and dragged along.One of the main points of view is a stormcast, and so far it's the most evocative parts, speaking as someone who wanted as much lizard as possible and doesn't like stormcasts.It feels fresh and worth it to me simply because you can't really get lizards pov elsewhere.
