>>97078197I never did look at the art beasts of chaos had in aos. This one is the first time I've managed to see them as something cool. >TQWanderers/rootkings if we're talking about actual models that exisited from aos then uh...some warcry stuff I guess like corvus cabal or iron golems or-
>>97078197>tqPicrel, still mad. Non human undead are always cool and the worst part is they don't have an easy proxy either.>>97078181RoR are cool in theory as allies with some more utility but it fucking sucks that half of them are like "500 points of this named character and a gaggle of elite units!", but ogres not having any game-wide ror is pretty bad too
>>97078197>If you could bring back one legends/oop/squatted unit, what would it be?I'd probably give Cities of Sigmar their elves and dwarves back.
>>97078227Honestly, given that we know Ogres have a huge overhaul coming they probably just couldn't be bothered.
What's wrong with his faaaace?
>>97078275The Beornings in ME:SBG are also ugly as shit, I feel like they're the main inspiration for this guy

>>97078282If it's so important to Alarielle then why didn't she send some folks to help?
>>97078333That's what the deer is for
>>97078333the kurnothi is a sylvaneth
>>97078363Nah they said he's just there to impress his clan.
>>97078379Is he wearing a skinsuit?
>>97078387technically it's a fursuit
>>97078393A bit of both from the looks of it.
>>97078282I like the map. Also, as always, fuck GW for not crediting writers and illustrators. Even WotC haven't depersonalized their products to that extent.
>>97078416Why do they do that anyway, to prevent people from building up a public reputation or something? I know employees splitting off and founding their own companies used to be a fairly consistent headache for gw, does that have anything to do with it?
>>97078565More than likely it's partially what you said, but also protects the artist from getting witch hunted by rivet counting faggots for getting a belt wrong or putting a black person in a visible place or adding a woman to a unit or some shit. It's more of an issue with 40k, but I'm sure they get a similar thing in fantasy
The more I think about it the more convinced I become that the Kruleboyz are just rip-offs of the Hobbit's Orcs.
>>97078636Yeah and?
>>97078636Shit now I want to play Kruleboyz :(
>>97078275Why does this guy have such a weird gap in both upper and lower teeth? It looks like someone shoved their cock in there.

>>97078651It's lazy and shameless.
>>97078333She is aware of meta narrative and know a small band of named characters have better odds than an army of nameless dryads
Someone toss me the Abraxia audiobook plz
>>97078924She could just name the dryads.
>>97078935I believe in your cause anon. This thread for sure.
>>97078940Thank you, anon. Nice to know someone out there believes in me.
>>97078636Kruleboyz have a different body type. They'd like baboons or something to regular Orruk's gorilla inspiration. Everything else is different. Jackson film Orcs have crude armour distinct in its sharp angles or the Howe crustacean style, neither of which exist in KB. You're reaching.
>>97078974>Everything else is different.Seriously anon? Bait or retardation?
>>97078982Post one example
>>97078989The troll? Leader being on a big bad warg-ish mount? Goblin mercs= hobgrots? Did you look at the picture at all or is all the cum in your eyes blinding you?
>>97078995>The Hobbit invented giants as mounts It's clearly ripping off boss baby
>>97079008Ah ok, retardation. Thanks for clearing that up dog fucker.
>>97079014Different >build, proportions>armour >weapons >skin tone >nose shape But if you look at the trackers with bows, aren't they just Gutrippaz verbatim? You are clinically retarded
>>97078974>>97078995Isn't it pretty well-established by now that kb are riffing off of oldhammer orcs, complete with weird stuby legs and lanky proportions? I'm sure the lotr depiction influenced them, it's lotr after all, but I feel like it's not quite a 1 to 1 ripoff if there's other (more?) obvious references involved too.Also I was like 12 when I read the hobbit lotr books but I seem to remember goblins and orcs being the same thing in those books.The troll rider might be more of a direct reference though. The others, eh.
>>97079014Niggas be WRONG and MAD
>>97078636they're definitely drawing inspiration from hobbit orcs, though its not always 1 to 1. they also draw not insignificant inspiration from zelda. the short lets, long arms, and brown leather scrappy vests and skullcaps are very zelda orc (i think its called a moblin? bokoblin, idk the difference)when the artists were designing the kruleboyz and some of the updated ironjawz range, i think their moodboard probably hand the hobbit/lotr stuff, zelda, and the oldhammer orcs as a starting pointi often wonder too if the artist had some involvement in deepkin, because the eidolon of the storm has some similar design language to twilight princess's zora and zora tunic designs
>>97079044He's talking about the Jackson film Orcs not LoTR in general and no, neither the Troll Rider nor the Giant Sloth are in the books lmao Jackson film Orcs are defined by the overt exclusive use of metal mostly. Sharp menacing equipment. KB are mostly wood and haphazard nails rather than elaborate but crude equipment LoTR Orcs have
>>97079058>>97079078>AoS devs are Nintendo basedlennialsIt all makes so much sense
HOLY SHIT!
>>97079085KB should get a sloth though
>>97079085>>97079037Those pics relate to the fully armoured legions of Azog that come from Dol Guldur/Gundabad, you all know damn well what the fucking hunter orcs are and who I am referencing because they're the main villains for 2 of the 3 Hobbit movies ffs >>97079078I think the Orcs in AoS are clearly just a combo of LOTR/Hobbit and Zelda things. Not complaining but it is fucking obvious to anyone who isn't brown or a fag.
>>97079117Sloggoth
>>97079121spitting image of Gutrippaz
>>97079117no need, they already have this
>>97079132We can do better
>>97079128>Light armour>Skirmishers>Upright >Rely on poisons >Sneaky>Complete different from all other Orcs in the settingWhat don't you understand?
>>97079078>they also draw not insignificant inspiration from zeldait was funny the first time, but it just doesn't work if you repeat the joke
>>97079117Brother your sloggoth? Sludgeraker?
>>97079140now that the dust has settled, why did zelda jokes flop?
>>97079134that's also already a thing
>>97079153Yeah, that's a troggoth not an agile ape
>>97079115Do you think star wars copied the legend of zelda ocarina of time?
>>97079165It's looking like it
>>97079185no way!
>>97079121they used the oldhammer orcs helmet and weapon designs as a starting point too, but yeah
>>97078275>What's wrong with his faaaace?Nothing. He's revealing his true form.t. worshipper of Tzeentch >>97078677Acromegaly done wrong.
>>97079078idk how anyone can look at kragnos next to a lynel and think thats not the case, its such a specific and unusual creature design. torso of a man but with a lion hybrid face and mane, some upward curling horns, but then horse centaur lower half, and usual armament is a 1 handed weapon and round targe shield. even his coloration is practically just a pallet swap between the standard lynels body and hair color.
>>97079203nah it gives me lotr orc vibes
>>97079222>its such a specific and unusual creature design.designs like those can also convergence accidentally
>>97078636>Kruleboyz are just rip-offs of the Hobbit's OrcsAlways have been. Not big green proud warrior guys but sneaky, conniving, sullen, quarreling thugs. >>97078974>baboonsChimps, you champ.
>>97079231You might be blind
>>97079233if it werent for the curled horns, i'd maybe give it to you, but that is such a very specific design callout on top of everything else, and its not like breath of the wild was some obscure thing no one ever heard of. 100% guaranteed the designers were aware of it, zelda is one of the biggest fantasy IPs on the planet.
>>97079238Maybe, baboons have wider torsos standing upright and ofc
>>97079254I really like the sculpting of the fur on these.
>>97079244they literally have goblin mercenaries
>>97079261Better than the bizarre noodle fur they've been sculpting lately

>>97078636They're very obviously meant to be a more LOTR take on Orcs, yeah. Might be meant to promote cross-pollination with Middle Earth minis?

>>97079379Wow the anvil of apotheosis is cooler than I expected, with a little potential for kitbash/custom hero. I was a little disappointed that there is no custom Bloodthirster but at least we can do a blood letter hero.Some highlights for me:Leathery wings upgrade, great for kitbash potential, im going to make a hero with wings for sure now.Mount upgrades irrespective of mortal/daemon - making a Bloodbound warlord on a blood throne sounds awesome.Kin killer flaw - great fluff, keep him away from your units
>>97079284He looks good, I’ve been in a bit of a painting drought but I’ve finally cracked open my case and tried to get a move on, here’s a wip of my darkoath
>>97079906NTA but I wanna say thanks for sharing. I'm always happy to see people's barbarians.
>>97079916Cheers dude, been sitting on my darkoath army for a while now, finally want to see it get done
I played my last game of fantasy about 20 years agoI picked up some witch elves about 5 years ago and rebought all paints and equipment, but didn't finish painting all the unitGot the itch again and will pick up something new to paint tomorrowAre my paints still ok? They shook fine and are liquid stillWhy do I have bottle labelled Matte Medium? what did I use that for?I very much doubt I'll be playing a game of anything, but any recs for things to paint that I can enjoy, but not be too tough as to put me off the hobby immediately again? Those Spearhead boxes seemed alright to start with?
>>97078197>If you could bring back one legends/oop/squatted unit, what would it be?Scuttleboss on Gigantic Spider
>>97079999You should probably check out what AoS actually is. If you’re expecting fantasy you’re going to have a bad time. Also fantasy is back if that’s what you’re looking for.
I gott say I very much dont like the bugs sylvaneth have. They're more annoying than they are a pleasure to look at. Should have gone with faes instead of that shit.
>>97080029I did 5 years ago. I'm not looking to play, just model and paint, and AoS seemed like a better option than painting 20 rank and fileThe models also look new, to me anyway, while some (most?) of the fantasy stuff looks like the old kits I knew and probably have in storage somewhere
>>97080063Oh yeah, if none of the new fantasy stuff appeals to you then AoS has a lot of great options for painting. I take it Cathay and the new Chaos Marauder line aren't your cup of tea?
I've been staring at this for like 5 minutes and I cant tell if I would. I think im a very weak for some eyeliner.
>>97080148I'd not heard of Cathay before. The minis are new to me, but it would be rank and file stuff again and I think I'd prefer the more "free" AoS stuff to have on a shelf due to what I know as skirmish formations so each can be displayed and I'm not painting up backliners that I won't seeI had some of the old Chaos Marauder line, infantry only I think. I'll probably avoid horses for now while I ease in. Thanks for suggestions though
Hey a local guy wants to trade armys, I'm swapping my OBR for his slaanesh. Anything I should look for in particular or look out for? What units are good in Slaanesh, SHOULD I GET GLUTOS?
Ok probably a touchy subject, but fuck it I feel like it’s got more leeway here vs every aos(and fantasy funnily enough) place. As a fan of both old world and aos, I originally thought that they could both coexist side by side, but I’ve started to change my mind about that after the marauder releases and some rumors I’ve seen from a guy on the whfb discord(who doesn’t say too much, but what he does say is pretty accurate). Essentially, those marauder sculpts I’m convinced were a middle finger to the aos team. Most people I’ve seen prefer them over the darkoath. And rumors are they’re going to release new plastic minis for warriors of chaos in the old world, and it’s not some new units that don’t have rules already, it’s new warriors,chosen, and knights apparently. And lastly the rumormonger basically said GW has liked how OW has sold and is pouring more resources into it(see designer change from aos to OW). Honestly, should we be worried a bit?
>>97080453Remaking chaos warriors would be a move so unnecessary it almost exceeds space marine releasesThey need to actually give Forsaken a kit
>>97080493Multiple reliable rumor sources have pointed to it. Unnecessary yes, but I think if they sell out as fast as the marauders, it could indicate that aos may well have a problem on its hands. And yeah it is weird because the aos chosen and warriors are legitimately some of the best models in the system.
>>97080166Your pelvis would be dust by the time she's done
>>97080453>probably a touchy subject but here's a hand grenade of cross thread console war bullshit and hearsay headcanon about interoffice sabotage, enjoynah, gtfo with this shit. just trying to start a thread long shitfling
>>97080453>discord stay there first of all. Secondly stop thinking like a retard that gw is so short term sided
>>97080530Well, if OW picks up their pace of releases, this is going to come up a lot more. If GW itself is stoking those fires with its planned releases, it’s something that needs to be talked about.
>>97080548This "engagement" mindset is gross man.
>>97080548if you want to talk about old world rumors, go talk about it in the old world threadnobody wants someone constantly antagonizing and doomposting in this thread. we've gotten too much of that over the last 5 years. begone
>>97080548>it’s something that needs to be talked about.Why? Even assuming that all of these rumors are true, what can any of us do about GW's business decisions except keep buying what we think is worth buying and refuse to buy what we don't?
>>97080148I wish the TOW marauders had some female models. Not a fan of a full sausagefest.
>>97080851Me neither, and where's the BIPOC? It looks like a Klan rally.
>>97080860I don't care much for diversity. I just like girls.
I swear this chick is having a fuckin laugh with these prices. I was hoping to pick up some additional extras with the boxset for some conversions but Ill just have to settle for the box itself.
>>97081007I was hoping to pick up another Pajeeta but I guess that ain't happening either.

How long does it take for stormbringer to ship?
Is there a quick-start guide for big AoS? I know there’s a community made one kill team and I’ve seen people in person use one for spearhead. Basically a check list that goes through all the phases and what you can or should be doing at every step along the way to guide you. Official or fan-made, either one is fine. Thank you. Additionally is there anything I need to buy or print or make for big AoS games aside from my own models and the LGS terrain? I know I need measuring tapes and dice and counters for ritual points, blood tithe, disease, etc. Do I need any cards or other peripherals? >>97080530I’ve never used discord aside from when raid leaders in WoW force you to get on to hear them tell their shitty inside jokes with guild mates during a raid (“no discord no loot”)I was surprised when my friend started telling me there’s people who spend all day sending messages in dozens of chats and sitting in voice calls. I hate to be a hater or snob but I feel justified in calling regular discord users degenerates. >when the gaming or fandom based discord channel has an “18 plus section” >it’s the most popular channel 9/10 times or the only channel anyone actually talks in
>>97080148These models do look very cool and nicely done. As do all the new Cathay and tomb kings models.But I’m curious if old world fags actually paint ALL the parts on every model. I don’t mean edge highlight and blend stuff like boots or chains or hooves or weapons, but what does a TOW army look like in person. If people can’t be bothered to get paint and a wash on every bit of a space marine then I don’t imagine most Cathay or Chaos armies are painted very well. Especially with how busy and dense each and every tiny little infantryman is.
>>97079696Man I was hoping the canker born would be bigger. Like ogor size or bigger. At least foul hoof looks good but I’m already planning to print the wurmspat lady for a sorcerer proxy If the blight templars get no rules then maybe I can group them with my other 2 wurmspat blightkings for another 5 blightkings >>97079906>painting dark oathI feel for your struggle anon
I’m going to giggle if they give a regiment of renown for dark elves in cities to mirror the rune thong.
>>97080493There's one dude here who keeps trying to tell us the tow warriors will be god-specific or something, using a shield illustration in the new journal as evidence. Idk if there's any truth to it, but it would be one way to differentiate them from the aos ones.>>97080453I'm going to engage with this earnestly because I believe in you. I think gw is a very different beast than it was 10 years ago, and definitely has the means to keep multiple 'flagship games' afloat now. In that sense, tow growing really isn't a concern. As long as aos keeps doing well, it's going to keep being supported. All memes aside, it looks like that's what's happening for now. Gw need to be careful though, if it weren't for spearhead being a massive hit, 4th's bland feel would've definitely driven a lot of people out of aos, especially the 40k refugees looking to avoid exactly that. As for tow producing identical miniatures, it's kind of weird to me. On the one hand that's a very weird allotment of resources from gw. On the other hand, you could see it as the tow team seeing a lot of players using aos sculpts in their games, and trying to ensure those sales are counted for tow instead. One of those instances where the team segregation at gw is going to hurt the company overall. Anyway just buy what you like desu.
>>97081621>There's one dude here who keeps trying to tell us the tow warriors will be god-specific or somethingNta but they will probably follow TWW and we'll get something like pic related.Slaves to Darkness will most likely continue to be winning.
>>97081664>Nta but they will probably follow TWW that's the complete opposite route they're going to take them. They want the chaos stuff to be subtle.
>>97079117Still retarded how the Uruk Hai were supposed to be the strongest orc army in history when Azog had them beat in terms of sheer numbers and crazy ass monsters
>>97080453>Honestly, should we be worried a bit?GW is too deep into sunk costs for aos to back down, valrak even has rumors of a total war for aos to be made (probably CA was forced to take on the project as clause if they wanted to do 40k)What will happen is that the two games will diverge more and more and that aos will prevent tow from grabbing back the legacy factions, that's it.
What're your hobby plans for this weekend? I'm trying to decide whether or not a skull hat like this works on the bloodpelt hunter.
I honestly don't know why people keep hypervenilating about TOW Marauders. Old timey chaos marauders always towed the line between two main influences-Conan and Vikings. With the split, we now have AoS doubling down on Conan and TOW doubling down on Vikings, which is fine, people can choose their favorite flavor of Chaos Barbarian, or mix and match. Even the shield pictures from the journal that keep getting referenced emphasize the Norscan aspect of the Gods, Slaanesh as a snake, etc. So if that's the basis of the new Chaos Warriors they will likely also keep the Norscan influence, which makes sense.
>>97081676Hopefully assembling and priming my jade obelisks, gonna go with the pick axes. for non warhammer stuff, practicing how to draw.
>>97080453>should we be worried a bit?About the flop that is TOW? About a game that's not even in the top 15 best selling miniature games? It can be good for proxies but that's it. What, you think people bought those marauders for TOW? Lmao. You should stick to discord.
>>97081677>I honestly don't know why people keep hypervenilating about TOW Marauders.No idea who is hyperventilating. It's still avaliable in most LGS' where I live. I prefer Darkoath anyway.
>>97081676>fixing that mini where I accidentally rubbed the primer off >building pic related
Look at the little guy
>>97081402>Like ogor size or bigger.If they're on 40mm they're ogor size. Don't worry about it.
>>97081703Those minis have so much small detail I would pass out painting them (I hold my breath when I paint something small and need precision)
>>97081709>swims up your urethra
>>97081402Mulgoth is on the same sprue as the Blight Templars and they are not getting rules or a separate release later like the other heroes. They mentioned who is getting rules and who is not in one of the articles. Only Gelgus, Witch and the Shaman are getting rules as characters and the Cankerborn and Wretches as units. Pestigors too of course but the ones from the box will count as normal ones you can mix with the proper ones released separately.
>>97081719>I hold my breath when I paint something small and need precisionsame energy
>people think that it's tow warriors that will be different from aos warriorsYOU FOOLS! AOS WILL RE-UPDATE CHAOS WARRIORS TOO, GW MADE SKELETONS 3 TIMES IN THE SPAN OF 4 YEARS, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THEY WON'T REDO WARRIORS AND KNIGHTS? THE LATTER ARE STILL THE ETB KIT WITH A COMMAND SPRUE ADDED FOR FUCK'S SAKE, THINK, PEOPLE, THINK! TOW WARRIORS WILL BE THE NORMAL WARRIORS WHOSE DESIGNS WE ALL KNOW AND AOS WARRIORS AND KNIGHTS WILL BECOME CHOSEN/VARANGUARD-LITE!
>>97081677Cathy wave 2 was so awful Towdlers have to bring up old shit. Literally 0 hype for ToW's current flagship faction
>>97081751>TOW and AOS compete for which chaos warriors will have more trim or spikes
>>97081751>>97081758Current AoS Chaos Warriors are the second version of AoS Chaos Warriors. 3rd time's the charm.
>>97081757I liked the first wave but the second one was pointless and fucking ugly.
>>97081757I'm unironically pretty hype for the new peasant units, Chinese Farmers have never looked so good. It's just a shame that the new gunner units have such boring sculpts, especially because those are like the heart of the army from a gaming perspective.
>>97081771Monopose vs Multipart isn't a versionification though
>>97081709Bro has the plain Jane on the thin silver chain aw hell nah
>>97081778They're a gunners unit, being uniformly posed in a firing stance is a feature, not a bug.
>>97081786he be drippin fr
They should brin back Glavewraiths as a merge with Hexwraiths, where they ride all that's left from their horse.You can call them headless-horse men
>>97081797Yeah but you can do same pose without literally looking like they're all clones of the exact same model. Either way, I don't think the new army box is going to sell as well as the first one. I personally plan to get it but the combination of boring looking gunner models and largely pointless (from a game perspective) peasant units is not exactly the recipe for wild success.
>>97081814that's truebut then again, this one is a limited box, so chances are it will sell out anyway, especially to people who already got the first box
New PtG stuff
>>97081828
>>97081827>it will sell out anywaylol>TOW >selling outlmao
>>97081814Some of the showcases literally were clones of the same mdels. They were copied in photoshop because they didn't paint a full unit
>>97081828>>97081832neat
>>97081833GW boxes in general sell out, this is not console war shit, the company takes it safe with most boxes and produces the number they think will sell out, they don't try to bank on stuff unless it's a starter set.
>>97081757Aside from the peasants people didn't really give much of a fuck, though the units in them are very necessary to make cathay an actual army and not just a hot air balloon parade float
I would care for the peasants if they looked like bandits. As they are its whatever. Its fucking bad when they cant make the gunners look good though.
>>97078197Soon
>>97081849Not when it comes to TOW.
>>97081866How do you event want this to happen?
>>97078197>If you could bring back one legends/oop/squatted unit, what would it be?But they're too good for Disney.
>>97081874Order aligned undead/ living faction, mainly part of the grand alliance order because they want to smack nagash. Will happily conquer sigmarite lands to add to their burgeoning empire (and use sigmarite corpses to fill out ranks), led by Warrior kings and Liche priests, with Settra as the living god-king in a golden body (that still contains his old bones).Make their aesthetic a mixture or egyptian and aztec, with themes of cybernetics and trasnhumanism using enchanted gold and necromantic rites. Their magic should be sun, sand and mirror themed.
>>97081874Its a bot anon.Just like a real undead its a echo of something that doesn't exist anymore.
>>97081709>lamprey with horns made of twig and fins like a fishThe fuck is going on in Ghyran?
>>97081901>Just like a real undead its a echo of something that doesn't exist anymore
>>97079280Any 'tubers flipping through the book?
>>97081900I wish they did more unique stuff like this rather than ctrl c ctrl v wfb shit.
>my LGS got 80 Dark Water boxes. GW didn't fuck up. I'm shocked.
>>97081929To be fair i imagin people's heads would roll if they let Cursed City situation repeat
>>97081934Speaking of, has GW said anything about future support for Darkwater? Expansion boxes or just new heroes?
>>97081939No because we still don't know the full story of the base game. I'm willing to be that they will do DLC.
>>97081939Mulgoth survives, ascends and we get a second Daemon Prince.
>>97081939They have said it's not a limited thing so I would expect some Expansions to it
Gelgus has the emotive range of a One Piece character.
>>97081939Hopefully some white dwarf stuff. Wouldn’t mind some 3d terrain though.
>>97081954His waifu came back to give him a bath so he's happy.
>>97081939Hero expansion and antagonist expansion were the usual ones but fuck knkws.
>>97081955I wouldn't be surprised if some 3d modelers make 3d prints for things like the Boat, but GW probably thought plastic terrain wasn't worth it
Looks like the final map of the quest. It's rather pretty.
>>97081967That’s fucking cool
>>97081967No... Gelgus, don't let them purify you!
>>97081954is his laugh>gus gus gus gus~or >pus pus pus pus~?
>>97081954>>97081982Same energy
>>97081954>>97081995
>>97081967At least someone at gw still believes in glamrock high fantasy
>>97081934>>97081929At $250 MSRP overstocking them feels kid of pointlessHopefully they get the unpopular army box treatment and end up going for 100 USD less on Amazon
>>97082031Idk much about traditional board games, but how expensive are the very elaborate ones like root and stuff nowadays? Because 250 seems like it's going to price out everyone but warhammer fans by default. And even then, 250 is steep, especially since apparently you can't even use some of the things in the box. The reveal itself was hype af but the price is going to put a LOT of people off.
One of the Darkwater cards mentions a campfire game, "Old Bones". It's played using knucklebones and is ostensibly about "weighing one's sins" against each other. The one whose sins weigh heaviest is set to be claimed by Nagash, the Old Bones himself. In the game it decides the allotment of party resources.
>>97081995Uncanny resemblance

nu path to glory book seems to have a decent chunk of lore in it. At least more than the previous one.
>>97082085>Vorn is chief of the Arak Klor, a tribe of warriors from the savage realm of Ghur who worship an aspect of the Everqueen they call the Maker of Beasts.Has she made any beasts? Whatsoever? Just one?
>>97082104I'm not interested unless I can read it for myself.
>>97082112where'd that bug come from if she didn't make it?
>>97082120That's actually 100 bugs stapled together
>>97082112Not exactly but some traditions among the ogor Alfrostuns tell that the ogors took the curse of the Everwinter upon themselves and that, in a show of gratitude, Alarielle gifted them the ability to tame the beasts dwelling under the Everwinter's pall.
>>97082120The wardroth beetle is a spite. Spites are elemental creatures formed from jade magic clumping together. They can look like basically anything at all, and this one just happens to look like a giant beetle.
>>97082132Sylvaneth real is a desturction faction
>>97082141This would have been back when Gorkamorka was on Team Sigmar.
>>97082068Can't believe what Teclis did years back at that private party
>>97082148why does his face look better when painted black. This shouldn't work so well.
>>97082075>>97082079>The Jade Abby fell at the end of the age of myth>This means Inara is at least 650 years old>Drolf was a beardling when the abbey fell and his hold fell with it, he is also at least 650 years oldDo you think they were just hanging out in azyr sipping aqua together for over half a milennia before they remembered to get up and do something about the abbey?
how am I going to make these fit for a command corps for cities
>>97082164I assume it fell during the Age of Chaos, not before it.
>>97082145Don't the Sylvanath hate the cities and stuff? It wouldn't be so bad to have them break away, and destruction could use more variety.
>>97082166Marshal + relic envoy = Manticore Knight + renegade saintMan-bear = ArchknightInara = banner bearerWhisper = mascot gargoylianduardin = take your pick from the 28mm guysFrom there you give up and use the mage as a battlemage then shrug at the kurnothi
>>97082186They're mostly fine with the cities. Maybe not happy about them, but they can see that they are a net good for the realms. They have special garden wards and embassies and stuff for that sake.
>>97082182The "tragedy of the jade abbey" happened in the age of myth, and inara talks about living during that peaceful time. The hard date the age of chaos started was after sigmar lost his hammer and it became clear order could no longer win, chaos already claimed a bunch of stuff way before then. I also just assume Inara and Drolf weren't surviving alone during the age of chaos and fled to azyr, and the gates closed basically right as the age of chaos started.
>>97082186Cities now were a bit different from the ones before age of chaos. Now it’s a situational thing. Greywater is one they generally loathe.
>>97082166Use Anvil of Apotheosis instead
>>97082166They will probably get rules for being in CoS armies soon enough
>>97082166>>97082211Yeah I could picture them getting RoR rules like Saviours of Cinderfall.
Does the box have a sealed envelope like Cursed City did?
>>97082132BCR have so much soul and a much stronger identity than normals ogres its insane and a shame that they play second fiddle to the foot guys.I remember the 1st edition books had some cool tribes, one was in the service archaeon and their winter was chaos infused with lighting etc.Another was had a desert storm instead of snow and another tribe was so affected by their everwinrer that theri skin turned blue from absorbing it.
>>97082269I agree, the three natures of ogres are hunger, ice age and mercenaries, at at the moment they don't have enough momentum to explore all 3, if they ever will.But the truth is that the BCR are not allowed to be relevant because the writer was too much of a pussy to set down the true origins and nature of the everwinter.You may think a mystery is better, but if the everwinter had an important reason behind then it wouldn't be swept under the rug with the same vagueness it was first introduced.Ideally all 3 natures would be tied down to their one god, via different means, either as a complementary triad or as opposites with a mediator.
>>97082251Doesn't seem to, there's cards added to rewards and encounters at the end of each act but nothing for the end of the last one
>>97082291>I agree, the three natures of ogres are hunger, ice age and mercenaries, at at the moment they don't have enough momentum to explore all 3, if they ever will.BCR do ice age already and they have a simple reason for their hunger and that is generating heat.The everwinter gives them a advantage in battle but they have to eat so they dont freeze to death, its a spiral.>But the truth is that the BCR are not allowed to be relevant because the writer was too much of a pussy to set down the true origins and nature of the everwinter.You may think a mystery is better, but if the everwinter had an important reason behind then it wouldn't be swept under the rug with the same vagueness it was first introduced.I like the idea that the everwinter is the blessing of imprisoned death gods the ogres got for freeing them from nagash.It would give them something completely different than gorkamorka and simultaneously show that death isn't just nagash.
Still waiting for a real Dark Elves faction. Not sure whether they'll get real support in AoS or TOW first. Which way does the wind seem to be blowing?
>>97082390Drukhari.
>>97082368>You may think a mystery is better, but if the everwinter had an important reason behind then it wouldn't be swept under the rug with the same vagueness it was first introduced.The same can be said for a lot of the setting. Having concrete facts anywhere would help people care about shit. The realms are still massive so lots of unknowns can still exist for /yourdudes/ but if GW wants people to use the material they provide to create their own stories you can’t just handwave important shit away or leave too many open ends. That’s what got us to where the setting is now(though, slowly improving), ocean wide, puddle deep.
>>97082390>elf faction that uses dark elf models, labels and styles itself after the chief deity of the dark elves, is founded and led by one of the OG dark elves, and is literally headquartered in the realm of darkness, is not a real dark elf factionI'm not saying you can't want something different from DoK, but work on expressing yourself better.
>>97082068>>97082078
>>97082390>Which way does the wind seem to be blowing?AoSIn this edition the daughters of khaine are getting at least one unit with a dual build to have them as either morathi followers or krethusa followers.New malekith is behind the corner, but he's been behind the corner for 10 years, he might come out as part of this edition's final campaigns in 2027, or it should come out in 5th, because rumormongers confirm that he, and his faction, is coming, but no exact dates.We have currently little to no idea regarding the current dark elves models still up in the webstore (still with square bases too), their rules might stay in the cities of sigmar faction for a few more years, or they might be removed soon, but in any case, even if it's possible they'll return in TOW, especially when aos is about to get malekith out, but we have no concrete confirmations or rumors on timeframes here either.So your only currently supported and future-proof dark elf-esque army would be daughters of khaine and idoneth still.
>>97082291>>97082269I wish we got more Hunter/mountain man ogors. >fatasses, mercs, and ice road truckers Would it really be hard to incorpore all three in one book? They all have hunger, greed, and sheer mass in common. I think their army rule could involve eating and their battle formations give your bonuses for keywords Eg. Mercenary, beast claw raider, gutbuster or w/e. Idk I’m not an ogor fag but I know they’re popular and they’ve been struggling hard. Also they should get a beast pack unit of a several ice age beasts led by a pack master. For armies of renown a pack of mercenaries led by a Golgfag-esque hero would be cool. Or another one of just stone horns and thunder tusks. We got an all bloodthirster AoR after all
>>97081977Did people really think they could kitbash or convert this into a Nurgle daemon prince for 40K? It’s likely sliced vertically on the sprue like all the recent monopose stuff James has been putting out. There’s nothing 40K about it, and it’s noticeably smaller than the bespoke daemon prince kit. Without the horns and wings he’s kind of a glorified blightking.
>>97082432>Would it really be hard to incorpore all three in one book?The problem is not making space, or making interactions, it's the baggage of expectations that weigh on gw forcing them to focus in a certain direction and the fact this is at the end of the day a niche army that doesn't warrant a trifold heavy dose of support.
>>97082432The rumors are that we're getting new Mournfangs and a new Hunter unit, so Beastclaw isn't totally ignored in the new wave, just not the focus.
>>97082432It would've been easy to just theme all ogres to the everwinter, high ranking ogres are on mounts and foot ogres have yet to prove themselves. Maneater are ogres that left the tribes and their everwinter is too weak to manifest, they sometimes rejoin a tribe for promises of loot.
>>97082420You're right. I should clarify that I have always preferred the more armored and militaristic side of Dark Elves over the Gladiatrix half
>>97082442>There’s nothing 40K about itAnd? It’s a demon prince, chaos is meant to be abstract. Aos/fantasy stuff can fit more into 40k while 40k stuff has a hard time fitting in most cases. Ironically necromunda doesn’t fit in fucking anything sometimes.
>>97082466Did you like the Warcry stuff for the shadow elves
Did any of the influencers spill the tea on what the "secret encounter" was about?
>>97082482You fight kurnothi and some fanatic order of the furrow henchmen with rootkings sprinkled in who seek to eradicate everything present in the abbey.
>>97082482Rotigus shows up. You have to own the model already, which kinda sucks
>>97082400Already collect Drukhari too and kit ash them with DE bits>>97082426Idoneth aren't really close at all and are only nominally dark elves. They're really atlantean flavored high elves >>97082472Those are kind of neat. A little different from what I was hoping for but if that's the way they choose to go I could accept that.
>>97082390On the one hand, nobody in aos gives a shit about the city dark elves. Moving them to tow would be a lot less abrasive than moving beasts was. The witch elf part would stay in dok though.On the other hand, we're getting tangible remarks about malerion for the first time since the game started. 4th is quite packed with big releases already, so 5th seems more likely to me. So 2027-2028 at the earliest. Will we see certain legacy factions before then? Maybe, maybe not. The tow rumourmongers have been pretty vague on that point. I do believe if legacy is on the table, dark elves are pretty likely. They need them to invade ulthuan for the storyline after all.
>>97082521>They're really atlantean flavored high elvesyeah, but they're still closer to dark elves than they are to high elves, like wood elves are ultimately closer to high elves than dark elves.
I hope this fella shows up if they do malerion's elves, but seeing as they didn't even mention the sharter for chorfs I doubt it.Aside from that I would want them to be very heavily armoured. Both idoneth and lumineth are kind of light in that regard, except maybe the stoneguard. Even then they look a lot lighter than they should be.
>>97082251>>97082358There is a final fight and there is a special card to read once the encounter has been cleared. It's just not sealed in an envelope.
I don't care about Dankwater, post the goddamn Path to Glory spoilers already.
Do you guys have any factions/characters or parts of the story that you really liked based on the memes and started disliking after you learned the real lore for them?For me it was Nurgle. I liked him based on the vermintide and 40k "grandpa nurgle blessed plague gifts" memes/jokes, but the more you know about it the worse it gets.At this point I wouldn't wanna be part of any of the chaos factions at all even if forced.
>>97082790>Do you guys have any factions/characters or parts of the story that you really liked based on the memes and started disliking after you learned the real lore for them?Usually it’s an inverse thing with me, but I guess the meme about archy being a competent chaos champion kinda annoys me with how much the setting revolves around him, sometimes they abstract his presence (which is nice imo) but usually it’s just tiring.
>>97082790Original Slayers from Warhammer Fantasy. Do they find peace after the death? Nope. Somebody must defend Grimnir's courts where all the other Dorfs are feasting for eternity. So Slayers defend Grimnir's courts from the encroaching wave of Greenskins. Once in a while Slayer dies, appears in Grimnir's courts, is allowed to have one bite of food, one sip of beer and returns to the meat grinder outside. Repeat for eternity.
>>97081621I mean theres also the fact that this is very much GW causing issues for itself. There clearly was a split with what TOW was allowed to use and what aos was allowed to use(and yes, aos is dipping back into more whfb style units and setting developement, im shocked there are some folks who still deny that) It runs into the issue of there only being so much to draw upon, so if there are say dwarf armies in both aos and TOW, there will be some internal competition and i suspect the bean counters will look at that if they havent already. Again, completely avoidable issue if armies were 100% sectioned off from the other system, and aos didnt wqant to dip back into old whfb stuff. I really do want to emphasize though that I like both games, im a really big fan of the different chaos god armies in aos and different cultural interpretations vs just northern marauder tribes.
>>97082844Kinda fucked how there is a set of goodlifers and destined losers even in fantasy.
>>97082790I never got into something due to memes in the first place
>>97082882Everything is a meme if you have the eyes to see.
>>97082892I'm not going to pretend literalisms trump practical classifications.

>>97082882Same, though in the case of Warhammer specifically I originally got into it fully from the novels which I read piecemeal with no real knowledge of the overarching setting. Everyone once in a while I'd go stare at the models on the GW website and read the little army/unit blurbs but that's about as far as it went. It wasn't until my nephew got into AoS that he was able to drag me into the actual game side of things and convince me that all that hobbying shit wasn't that hard, actually.

Any Hashut-fans in the thread? I had a question about the new Bull Centaurs, I was wondering how big their helmeted heads are?
the golden demon entries are already getting prepared?
I pay pigged the dark water box. Also it looks like flip side games is almost gonna sell out of their pre orders, which seems to be about 170 orders in total? Not really important but I found it interesting.
>>97083158I think if it's all painted you should just run it. At least once. Replacing painted models in a list that you haven't used yet is a good way for minis to get stuck in a case and forgotten about for years. Get at least one memory of running him to give you the payoff of seeing your painted guy do a thing
>>97083239Darkwater hasn't sold out, but the Negash omnibus sold out for some reason in the UK
Does anyone have a link to the new Hashut Battletome? Would be much appreciated.

>>97083312Ultramarines probably and maybe a ork.

>>97083435arn't they all push-fit kits?Won't that make them rather useless for Conversions?
>>97083411Darkwater is also around $100 more expensive and not a fomo item, so there's no reason to rush out and buy it.
>>97083458The cathay box wasn’t a fomo item either. Much cheape/better value yes, but it’s a reg stock item.
>>97083476would explain why I keep seeing it for $100
>>97083480Sure you do anon, at my LGS they actually pay you to take TOW models can you believe that?
>>97083189They will lose if Richard gray decides to do nurgle this year for golden daemon judging from his wip on the promo piece he has. If he spends the rest of the year working on one nurgle model he will crush everyone in the specialist games category.

>>97083552Ah, shit. Rich woke up and found his brushes.Pack it up lads, we're all fucked again.As an aside- Price has dropped for Darkwater. 160 in the UK. Cheaper than I feared, more expensive than I... Actually no I shan't lie I fully expected mid-hundreds.

There’s no knowing quite what you’ll get, so make sure to check in with Da Red Gobbo each day.
>>97083848>wide selection of different treatsMy interest is peaked. They did basically reveal that on monday we would see ultramarines.
>>97081687Horrible paint job, it looks overly saturated
>>97084031I think the goal was to get a comic book style.
Damn Wayland Games has 1350 at least of Darkwater. I know it's not FOMO but that seems like Dominion levels of over-preordering.
>>97084111Don't trust their numbers.
>>97084111Hopefully that's true so the price crashes and I can actually get the nurgle guys cheap
>>97084111yeah uh... what >>97084131 said. Wayland has a rep. I think its the one store with a nonce?
>>97084131No reason not to, they're pretty reputable.>>97084132You and me both. Was quite interested until I saw the price. I could get ass deep in a HoH army for that price.
>>97084159
>>97084155The owner being a nonce isn't really relevant to their online stock numbers.
>>97084162>they're pretty reputableThey will take orders for stock they don't have and have done so multiple times in the past. Don't trust their numbers.
>>97084111That's $259 AUD.Should I drop ship ...Or get my mate to buy one and bring it home over Christmas
>>97084177>They will take orders for stock they don't have and have done so multiple times in the past.Have never heard of this and a Google doesn't really turn up anything showing that either.Sounds like something you're making up to cover for Darkwater anon. The multibillion dollar corpo will be fine regardless.
I'm going to do it, im going to play Gorechosen Champions and convert 10 cool and unique Deathbringers to make up the bulk of the force.No idea if its good at all (control score sounds like an issue) but it sounds kind of fun, like the opponent will have a tough choice allocating attacks lol
>>97084181I'd wait for the price to drop, but if your friend can get it and save shipping that's great too
>>97084111How do you check this kind of stuff, could be interesting. I tried myself but every time I try to enter something above 10 it says you can't order in this quantity.
>>97084300I just put in various amounts until it gave me an error saying insufficient stock.
>>97084300eBay is the only thing that kind of gives you numbers.
>>97084314Nah, a lot of 3rd party websites will give errors if you go over their allotment or just outright tell ya.
>>97083187slightly larger than their unhelmeted heads
>>97084111As Valrak said, they are trying to torpedo AoS and Darkwater is the sacrificial lamb. This has all been done (pricing, quantity printed, number sold to third parties) to ensure that on paper Darkwater looks like the biggest flop in GW history. Also it puts pressure on smaller FLGS's and the more of them that go under the more people buy from GW. Then they can justify shutting down AoS for ToW
Can we expect any actuald reveals during their whole christmas thing? Will the big grotmas thing be some 40k end of edition stuff or how do these things usually go?
>>97084444The fuck? Valrak actually said that?
>>97084445No, they just show off REs more often
>>97084444>As Valrak said, they are trying to torpedo AoSI'd say that's bullshit but I cannot argue against the quads.
>>97084444I was nodding my head until I saw the last line and realised you're just a schizo
>>97084445We have no clue at all what the grotmas reveal will be. It will probably be 40k related, if it's not it'll probably be AoS. But it could be anything. Could be HH or maybe Kislev for TOW. I am pretty confident that it's not Necromunda/Kill Team/Blood Bowl/MESBG or any other smaller games that aren't part of GW's corporate core 4 pillars as outlined in their reports.
>>97084445Ideally they'd drop some fun AoR rules on us. But let's be real, they won't do that.
>>97084444The number on paper is the number sold TO 3rd parties retard. GW will call this the best selling box of all time in your retarded scenario
>>97084460Tbf Valrak might have been the schizo saying that.
>>97084468GW offers credits to stores for unsold product that they over allocated or for the case of unsold but now outdated rulebooks. The boxes are going to be debited back.
i have been told by Mark Lam that the AoS design team actually dragged the old world design team in to the street and broke their knee caps as a warning. the necromunda design team took notes for better representation of gang warfare.
>>97084469He probably is. An actual GW conspiracy would be they announce that they will discontinue AoS or ToW. Whichever sells less over the next financial year. At the end of the year "wow, you both sold so well and incredibly, sold exactly the same, so we're keeping both">>97084478Based. Necromunda can't stop winning.
>>97084444Why would the torpedo AOS when its one of there better sellers?
James Workshop told me that sells of Orruk Flesh base paint are the only thing keeping GW from filing for bankrupcy
>>97084463Remember that one schizo who would come in here claiming that necromunda was the secret third pillar of gw or something? Kinda miss him.
>>97084492It's been lethargic this last year if you the " whispers " are to be believed, but anyways, it's also unrelated to that. For better or worse there are a lot of people with seniority at GW who hold a strong distaste for AoS combined with a boomer nostalgia for Fantasy. Again, assuming Valraks whispers can be believed, I am not Valrak.
>>97084111Element games apparently had 1500 of the things, which is skaventide/saturnine tier. Sounds insane for a warhammer quest box, I know cursed city sold out immediately and it was a whole thing, but still.
>>97084492The idea that GW wants to torpedo AoS intentionally is retarded. But it feels like they're doing it unintentionally because they're STILL convinced they can make it fantasy 40k (sales wise) with just a little more tweaking which makes the game suffer and do worse every time.
Just finished my read through of the Hallowed Knights storyline in AoS and I loved it. I especially enjoyed the storyline that started in Gates of Dawn and ended in Wardens of the Everqueen but the plot that unfolds in Mortarch of Night and Black Pyramid was also super cool. Lorrus Grymn is easily one of my favourite AoS characters, why did he have to die in Broken Realms?! T_TJust a shame the final story in the timeline involving the Hallowed Knights was Skaventide because that story was FUCKING AWFUL AND I HATED IT.The read order was (for anyone who wants to do the same) :The Gates of Dawn (novella - Realmgate Wars: War Storm)War in the Hidden Vale (novella - Realmgate Wars: Ghal Maraz)Wardens of the EverqueenThe Resolute (Short Story - Sylvaneth Legends of the Age of Sigmar collection)Mortarch of NightHallowed Knights: Plague GardenHallowed Knights: Black PyramidGhosts Of Demesnus (Short Story - Myths & Revenants)A Dirge of Dust and Steel (Short Story - Myths & Revenants)Hammerhal (novella - Hammerhal and Other Stories)Hallowed Knights: The Denied (audiodrama)The Hammer of Immanence (Short Story - Thunderstrike & Other Stories)Murder by Moonlight (Short Story - On the Shoulders of Giants and Other Stories)Skaventide
>>97084538the number makes sense when you see the ruleset is pretty simple, and that this box is meant to be an onboarding box to Warhammer simmer to Skaventide
>>97084560Is anyone really going to be onboarded by this though? Skaventide is 2 armies, this is 7 heroes vs 4 nurgle characters + a gaggle of units, half of which you can't even use in sigmar proper without some proxying. Sounds like the game itself is actually good though, and it certainly had a fair bit of hype, but that price makes it a bit too much to impulse buy imo. Especially with the christmas boxes already being out. It'll probably sell eventually but I think it'll take a while. It's not fomo is it?
ESLs of /aosg/, please translate the following phrases into your native language:>Dankhold Rampage>Lances of the Crimson Keep>Outcast Spitegrove>Skryre Warpswarm
>>97084560It's also a box that's expected to remain supported for years. For GW, overprinting early just means they don't have to do a 2nd run for a while.
>>97084585>It's not fomo is it?No, it'll remain THE Warhammer Quest starter box until the next version is released, so it's good for at least three years, likely we'll see expansions soon.
>>97084585>Especially with the christmas boxes already being out.And it being Christmas. Consumer confidence in NA is at lows not seen since like the 70's and people are spending less this quarter than last quarter. Insanely retarded idea to drop a very very expensive box with very little utility outside itself with little mainstream appeal.
>>97084585>Sounds like the game itself is actually good thoughIt has been compared to Underworlds with a camping system, did give me some pause, but one of the early access reviews saying it was simpler than Hero Quest is a bit of death nell for my interest in Dawkwater, at least to me, since Avolon Hill Hero Quest is really simple.
>>97084587>>Dankhold RampageWilgotojamny Szał >>Lances of the Crimson KeepLance Karmazynowej Twierdzy>>Outcast SpitegroveWyrzutki Urazogaju >>Skryre WarpswarmOsnowrój Skyera
>>97084681Rota would probably be a better translation over Lance
>>97084587The aos wording style of very specific adjectives and nouns make them pretty difficult to translate, but I'll try my best.>dampfort woede-uitbarsting>lansen der karmozijnen kasteel>verstoten wrokbos (lol)>skryre werpzwerm>>97084591I thought the issue for gw these days is storage, it seems like a sizeable box.
>>97084692I thought it's literally talking about the weapons. Like "hammers of sigmar"
>>97084699Isn't a " lance " a military unit designation as well?
Just played (and lost) my first game of warcry.I don't think I need more terrain than what the Catacombs box provides, it was already crowded at 3 buildings
>>97084703It could be, i just thought the name refers to a different meaning of the word in this context
>>97084587I've taken creative liberties to make them more natural sounding, which usually involves removing one of the nouns or adjectives.>Dankhold RampageAlborotamiento de el Dominio Mohoso>Lances of the Crimson KeepLanzas del Torreon Carmesi>Outcast SpitegroveArboleda Paria>Skryre WarpswarmEnjambre Urdido de Skryre
>>97084754Who'd you and your opponent play as anon? Was it fun at least? Looking to maybe put together a warband myself and try it out. I've heard good things.

>>97084821Oh the fire dudes are very cool, probably my favourite warband. Good taste anon. I'm sorry you lost but it seems like it was pretty close from what you're telling us, which is a good sign for your first game.
>>97084821>Scions of the Flameabsolute kino taste
Speaking of, I bought myself the lances of the crimson keep box, and the new skelemen spearheadTime to get spooky, next year, when Im done with holidays and can paint again.
>>970845011 Orruk Flesh = 1 Waaagh Flesh(?) + 2/3 Aveland Sunset(?)Do people don't know how to mix paints?(Yeah, I m a bit annoyed that I couldn't buy it on my store when I was about to paint Morgoks Krushas)

>>97084882>these guy had to die so darkoath marauders could liveIt's not fair bros
>>97084990It'd be fun if GW did a bundle box for Warcry like they've done for Underworlds. Put a bunch of warbands in a box, keep it in stock for a while, then rotate it out for a new bundle, repeat. It's a much lower investment on their end but would likely receive a positive response from the community.

>>97084559How is Skaventide related?
Darkwater should've just used Warcry's terrain set up cards for different scenarios. GW are a miniature company first and foremost, playing on a shitty digital hex map isn't playing to their strengths imo
>>97085153Fuck off Kirby
Any kind soul out there that could furnish me with the Fyreslayers Battletome (3rd edition)?
>>97085189https://files.catbox.moe/i70jb5.pdf
>>97085033You are buying yellow to paint orruk armors or eyes. You are buying neutral green to make base. Why buy 3 when you can only buy 2 for the same result?>>97085153It is a boardgame that uses miniatures and not a miniatures game.
>>97085219>https://files.catbox.moe/i70jb5.pdfMay both sides of your pillow always be cool.

>>97085120Newest story featuring them, shows what some of the Hallowed Knights are doing in the Realm of Fire and gives insight into the new Skaventide dudes, the Reclusions. It is shit but the best parts of the terrible novel were the parts focusing on the fucked up Hallowed Knights who've been reforged too often.
wow they really did it this time, AOS is surely dead any minute now, 2 more weeks, WToWG1WGA
>>97084754Warcry is great, did you have fun?
>another AoS flop>another ToW sell out*gulp*
>>97085418Genuinely curious, what has aos released this year has actually flopped? Im guessing maybe the wolf riders?
>>97085433everything according to the doomposters and no matter what metric you use it's flawed and you're just defending a billion dollar company
>>97085433>Sunstealas>HoH>Darkwater (too early to tell but probably)Darkwater is gearing up to be a flop on another level. Like it's going to make Skaventide look like it sold well.
>>97085446You think this may bode ill for aos in general? Doesnt seem to paint a great picture in all honesty.
>>97085471I mean, it doesn't bode well. But even being pretty negatively minded in regards to the (imo) abysmal state of AoS (I really hate 4th) I don't think it's going to cause any major shakeups at GW. They will adjust and try something else with AoS, hopefully by unfucking the gameplay.
>>97085483I would agree if there wasnt another gw fantasy game system seems to capitalize on aos doing poorly
