>>97092539>Stormcast are the poster boysWell sure, but marines are even more so and afaik they're not in darktide. I can see *a* stormcast in an aos vermintide clone, but not 5 of them lol.>>97092548>tqMhmm, I like most of the common ideas put out there honestly, at least the ones I can think of right now. I guess maybe shitmob foot infantry? I feel like being all mounted is their schtick for now.
Does anyone have that piece of artwork where it's a stormcast, probably a knight questor, standing on a floating disc or platform and there's a path in the darkness leading to an an shadowy eye in the center of the frame. And there's a lord of change on either side of him. Could be two lords of change I don't remember well.
>TQMore fucking bugs for sylvaneth. I hate them, they're fucking cringe and arent cool at all. I really dont like the backpacks either, it fringes on gloomspite and nurgle territory. Its fine for the ever-queen and the treelords but good fucking lord are the riders and drychas shit is so fucking lame when you have literal fucking ghost trees commanding them. Like how am I supposed to feel anything about a horde of bees? >>97092570enemies have to be challenging. Stormcast are, and you can feel their plight if you give them some decent dialogue during encounters as to hints of their personalities. Shit you can even rip off the nemesis system to have them recognize you or something. >>97092569you're thinking of the silver tower art.
>>97092586>Shit you can even rip off the nemesis system to have them recognize you or something.pretty sure you can't for legal reasons or something
>>97092548Flamers They are probably the ugliest model gw still sells, but also there is no way that new ones would be any better
>>97092569
>>97092597I think the tow beastmaster is worse. Fucking expensive too since it's metal.
>>97092610I love how all the greater demons, including the fucking ceiling, are like "what the fuck?" at the guy just coming through the front door
>>97092645I like the giant gaunt summoner telling the knight questor to remain quiet in the livrary
>>97092610I like that the two headed loc is holding tossing dice in his hands
>>970925489/10 chaos ideas are bad
>>97092610Yes this one. Thanks!>>97092548I hope spiderfangs doesn't get squatted.Spider riders and the giant spider multibuild kit derserve to exist. and don't break thems. if anything just put regular moonclan on top instead of naked loincloth gobbos
>>97092886*and don't break theme
>>97092562Foot infantry would facilitate a squig herd style unit but no, they're not perpetually in motion and have cave homes. It's flanderisation like expecting every Moonclan to ride a Squig. Even BCR in AoS 1e had the Icebrow Hunter and they were defined by mandatory motion
Man I actually love vorns lore but I have no idea how im gonna fix that face of his. Maybe filing down his fangs would help?
>>97092910Vorn's the beast guy?
lmao goofy ass nigga
>>97092914yeah
>>97092932I thing the fangs are fine. If anything he'd look dumber with a toothless open mouth
>reviewer says he opened the map book six or seven times and it's already showing weakened binding made in UK quality
>>97092910paint the face up to the moustache as a metallic mask attached to the circlet
Your bedroom door simply won't look complete without a Helsmiths of Hashut coin superglued to it.
Turns out each act deck has character cards and they differ across the three. The characters outside the main four lack act I cards
>>97093011So the normie gang walks in and meets woodland criter guys along the way?
>>97093044There's no story for them joining or anything but yeah

>>97093011>The characters outside the main four lack act I cardsMaybe Cursed City spoiled us, but between the lack of book and 3 of the characters seemingly being an afterthought, Darkwater's funny
>>97093326Based outcome: realm rules for GhyranPlausible outcome: 500 word short story

>>9709332630 pages long sex scene
>>97093326this>>97093343
>>97093329I get the feeling it was designed as pick up scenarios rather than a campaign system. There's no narrative, no real character progression, and everything seems to discourage attachment. The dice pool is gone which means your turn is irrelevant to other players. There's no anticipation to see what you roll and consequently what you can do or dice gifting so other players can perform another action because they don't expect synergy. Every player just acts alone and the random objective driven play makes the condition of other players their own problem. Idk it seems legitimately terrible and I haven't seen a positive review but I guess I'll wait and see
>>97093203No, Katakros has to be able to hide in the forest.
I think Vhordrai's got this in the bag.https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/1geonm0v/miniature-of-the-year-2025-vote-for-your-favourites-and-enter-a-competition-to-win-the-best/
>>97093501i voted for Bull Centaurs and Darkwater myself
>>97093501deathbringer for me. >>97093536Fuck didnt know that was an option. I just voted for the dyke elf for that category as a joke.
>>97093501Why is Warhammer Quest in the third round and not in the AoS Round?
>>97093554Because it's a different game. Just like how Necromunda and 40k are not in the same category.
>>97093501The generic dragon is better since it doesn't have an ugly vampire on the back
>>97093564But all the Kill team, War Cry and Underworlds kits are in the first two categories.Necromunda is a Specialist game, just like all the other models in that category, except for the Warhammer Quest ones
>>97093554the only implication is that the minis were sculpted by the specialist teamif any implication has to be drawn
>>97093501>TOW thrown in with "and the rest"brutal
>>97093579>War Crywhere?
>>97093579>But all the Kill team, War Cry and Underworlds kits are in the first two categories.Those are all technically mainline games.
Would AoS combat become a bit more balanced if damage distribution was based off 40k?>>97092548>TQI hope they never bring back greenskinz a.k.a. old fantasy orks except aosified
>>97093589so is the horus heresy
>>97093607>Toughness Fuck no. Maybe they can play around with spillover damage but aos should be doing its own thing before following 40k or any other gw games lead.
>>97093607>balancedI'll pass
>>97093618Fair point. Strength vs toughness tables can be left out, but spillover damage could help negate hammers being too killy
>>97093589>Now that the dust has settled, why did TOW flop?
>>97093501>40k minis were so shit this year that the tyranid terrain is the best looking thing in the selection
>>97093634No, spillover damage is a godsend. The last thing we need is save by save slowrolling, that shit is a fucking cancer on 40kYou can deal with the hammers without needing to rewrite the games underlying systems
>>97093634What's damage spillover? AoS attacks target units in an abstract sense
>>97093652Spillover damage does make the game a BIT too lethal. We’ve been complaining that foot hero’s are useless and I feel like if they could find a way to intervene on that it would be good to counteract that.
>>97093634>could help negate hammers being too killyA good start would be to bring back weapon range, every model having an effective 6" range is completely dumb and make reinforced units way too strong
>>97093672No, there were plenty of times in the game where it wasn't as lethal and we've had spillover damage since day 1. Spillover damage isn't the problem
>>97093672Lots of games have activations and buffs dependent upon heroes. AoS should go back to only heroes being eligible to use command abilities and restore warscroll command abilities if not battletome tables for them like spells or prayers
>>97093681AoS is all about abstraction, just slam minis together and they all attack
>>97093501I voted for>warp spider hero>vampire on a dragon>chink dragon-ladyI know, probably some basic choices, but I liked them so fuck you.
>>97093672teh reason its too lethal is-fights twice-strikes first-hits and wounds on 3s or 2s andd have +1 to hit and wound- 4+ attacks per model (before the aforementioned fights twice)-crit mortal on fucking everything-rend 2 or better on almost every unit-3d6 charges in almost every army-points have increased and armies have shrunk, as a result opponents have fewer and smaller units to soak hits, while hammer units can now be worth up to 25% of your total points or more, meaning with a single buff like AoA you can affect a quarter of your army at once.
>>97093651logan grimnar i would say was an AoS caliber sculpt, but the rest were pretty boring
>>97093681i actually think the weapon range is a bit of a red herring. a lot of the deadliest hammers in the game have very small footprints, and even with 1 or 2 inch ranges would still get into combat without too much trouble. also removing base size as a combat statistic (25mm bases being very good, 32mm bases being very bad because of the inch) was definitely the right move
Potentially good news.https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/noz8yycy/an-avian-arch-knight-and-leaping-kroot-carnivore-return-as-this-years-boxing-day-miniatures/

I hope we get some mercenary RoR again this year. Ideally some variant warscrolls too but maybe that's too fun for muh matched play
>>97093805>I hope we get some mercenary RoR again this year.path to glory bro.
>>97093773The crow knight would make such a easy hero model, that would sell immensely. I dont understand gw retarded obsession with promo minis.
>>97093832You're supposed to use it in the command corps.
Im trying to get back into Aos, specially the lore/novel side of things. I remember there being a mega link with most of the novel/battle tomes, is there something like up to date that's still around? or have the gw ip ninjas got them all?
>>97093860They kept getting reported so people stopped sharing them. If you want something specific you either track it down someplace else or you ask here or in the share thread.
>>97093805based pastelchad>>97093860shit kept getting reported, just ask for what you want in the thread [politely :)] and usually an anon will have it for you. Can take a few days of trying in some cases though.
>>97093773Hope we end up getting a whole foot-knights unit to serve as nu-Cities first elite infantry
>>97093875Damn that's a shame. Anything that I should seek out? The last novel I read and really enjoyed as Godeaters son and Prince Maesa before that.
>>97093924If you want a novel then Starseer's Ruin is the most recent one released and also has some of the most interesting subject material in a while. Or, since you liked Godeater's Son, you could go for Yndrasta: The Celestial Spear by the same author. If you want a lighter read to ease yourself back into things, Grombrindal: Chronicles of the Wanderer should be the way to go. It's episodic and has a similar appeal to Princce Maesa, but tells brighter stories. All three are good.
Got off my ass and based Skarbrand with more bloody... portal thingy.
>>97093971HE IS BLOODY BENCHOD BASTERD HE FUK U BLOODY
>>97093956Thanks for the suggestions. Starseer ruins sounds sort of like the thing I want from Aos fiction,with different factions/cultures interacting with each other
>>97093832I've long considered a corvid-themed diorama I'd like to try with him and Krethusa. If I can finally snag him then I just need to track down one or two of the Warcry crow lads and I might just be able to pretend I still have my modelling chops.
>>97092548>TQStormcast Dreadnought for the Ruination Chamber. I HATE that idea.
>>97094138It does make me laugh.
>>97093956Scourge of Fate is my favourite Black Library product, it's simply amazing and the audiobook just makes it better. Phillip Sacramento kills it.
>>97094161Meant for >>97093924
Do the revanants actually have this weapon in their kit or am I being falsely advertised here.
>>97094169one doeshe doesn't hold it with 2 hands
>>97094187Aw. Thanks for identifying it tho.
>>97094187>>97094227Dunno if it's important to you but it's only the leader dude that can have this weapon btw
Kinda off topic but I don't want to ask /40kg/.What the fuck is up with these stupid 'Calth News' articles. Why are they doing this.Also the first 'Grotmas' thing was shit, literally a dozen paragraphs Chat GPT could have shat out. Where the fuck are the rule expansions from last year.
>>97094333I feel like it would be more relevant if WYSIWYG actually mattered rn for AOS. Since everything basically just has one generic weapon profile bar a few expections.
>>97094138arent all stormcast technically dreadnoughts
So I'm swapping my OBR army for a Slaanesh Army, gonna be winding up with the Spearhead like 30 extra archers, lord of hubris, Sigvald, 10 painbringers, some extra cav, extra Slaangors, and an extra thing of the little noodle tongue guys, also the goofy terrain piece.Anything in particular I should be aiming for? I feel like I'll have just about everything I'd need basically.(Other than Glutos, I'm getting Glutos HE NEEDS TO BE IN THE ARMY I LOVE THAT FUCKING MODEL)
>>97094394i dont think we have any dedicated slaanesh players who frequent the thread, at least i havent seen any. might be better off asking reddit
Hello it's sad and lonely anon again, who every years uses GW's 'model of the year' voting thing to count how many models GW released for each system this year. So, without further adooooooo.In 2025, Games Workshop released>40k (Including Kill Team)74 Models >AoS (Including Underworlds)47 Models>Specialist Games (Horus Heresy, TOW, Legion Imperialis, Blood Bowl, Necromunda)91 ModelsI can't remember how many they did for 2024 because all my data is on another hard drive.
>>97094426Dang, but that's fair. I guess I swapped one niche army for another just polar opposites in playstyle. If I remember anything from the only time I've played Slaanesh, lord of Pain mixed with Archers = murder, cavalry makes a solid wall, I didn't see Glutos or Sigvald but honestly they seem pretty straight forward. If I've got at least 2k points nothin' wrong with winging it for a game and seeing how it goes! I'll hold off on asking them for now, maybe I'll get lucky in this thread! Thank you though anon!
>>97094434I thought we had more desu, but I guess when 40k primarily has like 8 space marine hero models released every single event that stacks the numbers. (Same goes for Specialist games having like 4 forgeworld exclusive characters per event for each game)
>>97093773So those start at 26th and last until?
>>97094389How do you figure?
>>97094389Nah I thought they were just souls floating in armor originally but no they're basically just souls given form and cool armor that when they die turn into lightning to be sent home to get a new body.

>>97094389Dreadnought are cripples
97094628Why do half of these threads boil down to people trying to hype up TOW with poorly done baits using some random youtube channel no one has ever seen.I feel like I'm on /v/
>>97094628At the end of the day, people liked the idea of Darkwater more so than Darkwater itself.
>>97094670he's in the wfg thread right now too trying to start a thread war
>>97094628Now that the dust has settled, why did TOW flop?
>>97094533Did you not read my fucking post you cock gobbling retard? LOOK HERE >>97094434GAMES WORKSHOP MAKES THE DECISION. THAT IS HOW THEY LABELLED THEM. FOR SIX YEARS I USE THEIR DEFINITIONS WHEN COUNTING.FUCK OFF AND READ.
>>97094690I don't think anyone in this thread gives enough of a shit to start a thread war. I don't understand how we could when we get a post like every 10 minutes unless people raid us when some stupid shit happens.
>>97094533Anon....https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/1geonm0v/miniature-of-the-year-2025-vote-for-your-favourites-and-enter-a-competition-to-win-the-best/That's how GW lists them.
>>97094628Darkwater looks terrible, best you can find is an unboxing. "Nice minis"
>>97094628I was thinking of buying it, but since most of the nurgle will be legends next year I didn't even bother, can't even use the pestigors since there's only 8 in the box
See the Spitewood is totally different from the Gnarlwood because the sharp bits are hiding inside the trees this time around.
>>97093781You can order it online on the 10th of January
>>97094841I looked for channels covering the game, that was the main reason I am not buying it. Darkwater is following the AoS trend of dumbing everything down to try and attract the 40k crowd. The game sucks and $250 for a smattering of models with little utility is silly.
>>97093501I voted for the IDK manifestation>you can vote for terrain piecesI feel bad for whoever worked on those knowing they're going to get zero votes. They should have had their own categery.
>>97094854I actually adore the Spitewood and can't wait to see what warbands/lore expansions Underworld gets relating to it. Then again, I'm the biggest Welf fan on earth and will default to wood elves in any setting that has them so me loving the Spitewood and all the Kurnothi stuff to do with it isn't surprising.
I need some second opinion.So I am making a Skaven army, mostly for Oldhammer painting purposes, but I do not exclude the possibility that I might put them to battle at some point.The issue I have is that I am not sure which bases to take for them. I could go full retro and do like 20x20 for Clan Rats, go more more with 25x25 or even do round 25 and get some 25x25 adapters so I could field them in more games... thoughts?
>>97095022Fuck off TOWfag.
>>97095027fuck off back to /v/ you shitstirring faggot
>>97095031>97095031>Muh Oldhammer>Muh retro 20x20 bases>Muh adapters Only one shitstirring faggot here and it ain't me, cunt.

>>97095039NTA but believe it or not there's a bunch of us who play both AoS and TOW
>>97095046meant for >>97095027
>>97095055>>97095046Get fucked, TOWfag.
>>97095039>muh console warsrope yourself, retard
>>97095049AoS requires round bases, TOW uses trays. You are nogames if you think 25x25 is an option. Prior to 4e weapon changes 20x20 wasn't really an option either
I find it quite funny that the TOW pigs and /v/ermin are doomposting about darkwater, given that they're made by the same studio, just like all the other warhammer quest games were. If darkwater bombs then the specialist design studio, i.e. TOW will get less funding in the future given how strict gw bean counters are with product lines.What makes that even spicier is that in the last annual report GW already stated they will course correct to make up for some mistakes by sticking to what they know. I.e. favouring Age of Sigmar.The doomposting is just irony.
>>97095123>/v/erminfuck off back to 40kg please
>>97095123>If darkwater bombs then the specialist design studio, i.e. TOW will get less funding in the futureThis requires too much critical thinking for most people these days to understand.
>>97095123But anon ToW outsold AoS last quarter
>>97095157LMMMMMMMMMMMMMAOOOOOO
>>97095173Indeed, it's AoS that is being downsized after numerous flops in a row.
>If you say anything bad about Darkwater you're a heckin meanie TOW pig or a /v/ermin! What a faggot. Darkwater looks like an afterthought rules wise. No dice pool actions, no classes, no consistent upgrades, no story, procedural enemy behaviours, no CYOA segments, no post game, etc It looks TERRIBLE and there hasn't been a single positive review
I also enjoy TOW more than AoS. AoS has become too predictable.
>>97095177What else is happening in your little world of delusions? Are blacks law-abiding citizens and do women actually speak sense? Do sheep eat clouds and fish swim in sand?
I wish Darkwater flopped to discourage GW but they're immune to failure at this point. That's why TOW exists, it doesn't matter what they put out only that they put something out
>>970951574.0 has a solid core ruleset and terrible army books. They need to 6th Ed 40K this edition immediately
>>97095179there's no need to be negative if you don't like something keep it to yourself and leave aosg
>>97092886>I hope spiderfangs doesn't get squatted.I hope they don't but I'm not really holding my breath at this point. I'm just glad I put my scuttleboss on a chariot base when I built him so I don't need to rebase him. That said, I was saying the same things for years about death rattle and seraphon and gitmob, and all of them got insane refreshes.

>>97095211Why do you want this place to become a corporate hugbox. You can go hang out on GW's official social media if you want only positivity. People should be able to speak their minds here.
>>97093860Gimme a min ill dump what I've got
>>97095069I almost feel like this image was saved for the purpose of throwing this thread into chaos. This is like the perfect shitstorm of1: pissing off the "THIS BOARD LOOKS LIKE SHIT"2: people that complain about unpainted models3: people who complain about same build and paint jobs on this nurgle guys models.4:arguing about TOW shit.We just need someone talking about Kurnos and Perryanon to come back. SOMEONE BREAK OUT THE BINGO CARD!
>>97095219I'm actually getting a couple of the arachnaroks from a trade and I'm both excited and concerned. It's a cool model but I feel like the end of days approaches for spiderfang.
anyone got pdfs of the warcry books? not the novels I mean like the ones that came in the box sets with rules for terrain and lore dumps and stuff
>>9709502225 rounds unless you intend to play WHF, then 20x20 with adapters Mordheim uses 20x20 but I don't think anyone would cry about 25 bases either way and of course it's just a few models anyway

>>97095245You'll have fun with the big spider. Leave the howdah off while painting or your going to hang yourself or just do a skitterstrand
>>97095289I kinda figured, it's another centerpiece for my ever growing pile.
>>97095239It was just a small game thrown together in a few minutes when we didn't want to get all our terrain out on a rainy, dull day. Game was ok, honestly. Pretty one-sided in the favour of the Stormcast but I still enjoyed having my Maggotkin on the table. But you're right about one thing, my opponent needs to get his fucking models painted up, I want to fight more Hallowed Knights not greytide!Also TOW and TOWfags can get fucked.
You know what's wild? Knight of Shrauds was the only GA Death releas in 1e, and he barely counts since he's from the end of edition campaign thing
>>97095226Excellent work.
>>97094365>Why are they doing this.Hyping up the end of edition 40k narrative and the upcoming Ultramarine/Word Bearers releases and hinting at the return of Leman Russ.
>>97095303You know what's even wilder? That they sculpted nighthaunt with fleshy hands when they got skeleton faces. They could have given the knight of shrouds ornate metal gauntlets instead.
>>97095303Aye, Malign Portents was weird because a lot of it is 2nd edition coded but was released for 1st. It kinda gave us a taste of what we'd be getting in 2nd. It's got fun lore as well but the rules were clunky imo.
>>97095303>and he barely counts since he's from the end of edition campaign thingthen you should count end times releases as aos1.0 releases
>>97094365>Why are they doing thisThey want to sell marinefags an ultramarine supplement and perhaps some tyrannic war veterans less than 6 months before the new edition, and after a grave case of marines burnout amongst the fans no less, so they're preemptively doing damage control, telegraph the incoming shit, and trying to make a meme out of it.
>>97095310>Word Bearers releasesDon't give me hope, anon. I've already a shitton of AoS stuff to work on and the Starcraft Tabletop Game is going to devour all my money when it releases. I can't handle a full Word Bearers release as well T_T

>>97095245>GW puts out their best spider model with Shelob>probably not worth getting as a proxy because spiderfang will get removed from the battle tomeit's tragic, I would have much preferred they updated the spider riders rather than adding lame wolf riders no one asked for.
>>97095355>after a grave case of marines burnout amongst the fans no lessthere's no such thing, marinefags will eat everything no matter how shit it is
>>97095421Agreed. No store can keep the Ultra Honor guard in stock because Marine piggies are buying 18 to meta cha… I mean play fluffy!
>>97095323NH are spooky, so they don't fallow decomposition logic
>>97095343Well, no since i counted KoS as a 1e releas. Bu your own logic ET doesn't count
>>97095388I mean nothings set in stone but I feel like it's in the cards unless GW decides to release a bug themed expansion to gits which I feel like would be a hard sell for an army already packed to the gills that just got a release.
>>97095343>Nagash, God of all undead>Can be played in all Death Factions>Sucks in all of themKragnos at least provides that 3D6" Charge>>97093203>>97093182>DoK no buff for snakes>BoK Bloodwarriors remain same as S2D Chaos Warriors while sucking assI hope this is just headcanon
>>97095498I'm guessing they'll cut them so the bug theming doesn't overlap with sylvaneth.
>>97095508I feel like having big skittery cave bugs is a bit different from happy little sylvaneth bugs but who knows how GW's brain operates.

>>97095719It's just a thing the usual suspects try to derail the thread, same thing happened in the previous one with some youtuber nobody's ever even heard of. Best to just leave them be.
>>97095123>If darkwater bombs then the specialist design studioDid they make Darkwater?
>>97095646>Monopose blightkings posterI've cemented my place as one of the few people in this entire thread who actually plays the game. I am honoured, anons, truly.
>>97094628These guys have nothing to say. I remember it being interesting to hear of things from a retail perspective on something but nowadays they just milk it with these inane vlogs mumbling the most pointless shit
>>97094628>Down syndrome chink in thumbnailI will pass, thank you.
>>97095840It's honestly a little offensive now they're OOP. What'd you do with all the bits if I suppose you'd never kitbash anything if even deviating from the main build instructions is off limits?
>>97095840I don't think anyone would really care that you have a few matching models if you weren't also annoying to interact with in any way
>>97095865In my bitsbox. I've used 'em throughout the years here and there on Death Guard and such but kept most of them for projects I never got around to. Planning to convert some Bretonnia Pegasus into Nurgle "Dark Pegasus" riders since I loathe the Pusgoyle models. I've got another two boxes of Blightkings to build plus 3 Wurmspat so I'll be adding to 'em eventually. I've 100% completed my massive collection of Nurgle daemons except for my GUO so once we refocus on AoS in my area (currently focusing on MESBG) I'll be free to carry on the mortal side.>>97095877Cope.
>>97095360Valrak had a leak like two months ago about Lorgar returning and a new Guilliman model. The new campaign is supposed to pit word bearers against ultramarines again. Then Russ will come back to save the day. Probably.
>>97095899You talk like a fag and your shits all retarded
>>97095899What's your opinion on new blightkings oh wise and venerable maggotkin autist?>>97095911I never really cared about the primarch soap opera thing gw did with the hh series, but just from hobby osmosis it seems like gw goes out of their way every time to make lorgar the little bitch among primarchs. Kind of endeared me to the word bearers honestly.>new guillimanIsn't his model from 8th edition? I know it doesn't look all that good but a little early to retire a centrepiece no?
>>97095899>I've 100% completed my massive collection of Nurgle daemonsI vastly prefer the mortal side of Nurgle so I put far more work into those models than the daemons but despite being a fairly half-assed grind to get through them I like how they came out. They look great grouped up on the tabletop, just not very good on their own lol>>97095931Seethe.
>>97095939
>>97095239>arguing about TOW shitabsurd that /tg/ doesn't have rules against flamewars when /aosg/ is getting shamelessly brigaded by TOWfags
>>97095943why would that matter, the jannies don't do shit anyway
>>97095937>What's your opinion on new blightkings oh wise and venerable maggotkin autist?I don't really like 'em but I've so many (36 counting two sets of Wurmspat I'll be using to bulk out the squads with the two awesome Blightkings that come in the set) I don't need to worry.I plan to get Rotswords and Sloven Knights since in 1st and 2nd ed AoS (which we still play) you can take Nurgle Chaos Warriors/Knights in a Maggotkin army and those'll look more fitting on the tabletop.Don't plan to get anything else in the new wave. I do look forward to having my Harbinger of Decay leading a band of Nurgle looking Chaos Knights into the ranks of the Hallowed Knights though.
>>97095952Yeah personally I vastly prefer the new stuff, but of course I'm no nurgle player so it's interesting to hear the perspective of actual maggotkin players. I agree the rotswords look dope as fuck, probably my favourites of the whole reveal.
>>97095966As someone who just hopped on and is still working on his army, the rot swords look neat but I don't know if I wanna get them compared to like the quest pestigors (but I'm delaying buying quest as long as I can) the sloven knights are eh, the new blight kings are good looking but not really comparable to what we have now, and the rotswords are just kinda good (even if I'm sick of horns on every model)
>>97096031SKnights and Rotswords will fit fine with my dudes so I'm happy to get them as more approtiapte proxies for 1st and 2nd ed Nurgle-aligned-STD units but I'm definitely not going to buy any of those stupid looking pestigors or stripper Blightkings or anything else they've shown off.
>>97096036here's hoping CoS wave 3 is elfs and dorfs
>>97096054>approtiapteHow the fuck did I misspell appropriate so badly lmfao
>>97096054You got any big plans on changing your scheme up for them or just stickin' the same contrast stuff
>>97096062Sticking to it. I've a fuckton done in that scheme already and I really like it.
>>97096068Fair enough, I get too ocd with my own shit I don't know if I could just leave as much detail stuff untouched without losing my mind. Good on ya for getting your shit finished.
>>97096055One can hope, but the freeguild stuff didn't inspire confidence.
>>97096079As long as I and my opponents are ok with it and we can play games with painted models I'm happy. Between work and health shite I'm content to get my army to a standard that looks good on the table and pleases me. With something like MESBG (far lower model count than 1st/2nd ed AoS) or the upcoming Starcraft Tabletop Game (a game I AM FUCKING HYPED FOR) I'll put a load more effort in but there's only so many free hours I've access to in a day and I can't spend all of 'em painting lol
>>97096055>>97096092Yknow I feel like dorfs can be translated fairly easily to CoS' proto-industrial, blocky geometric design, but for elves that's kind of trickier. First of all if you just stick em in normal cos gear no one would even realize they're elves in the first place, a problem dwarfs obviously don't have.I think they could maybe work with a wildercorps style, allowing them to have more flowing textile and whatnot in their sculpts, which can help sell the lithe look. Building on that they could form the cities' light cav, mounted with guns and shit.
>>97096239I don't see it as a question of whether they could be worked into the new aesthetic, more that I don't think there's any strong intent to even try doing so on GW's part.
I need 4k pics of Blighted Wilds yesterday.
>>97096036>>97096055City aelf qts pls
>>97096399Prediction: the rumor of CoS duardin getting canned and Fyreslayers being reworked into a more generic duardin faction is true. Similarly the few city aelf units still left will be dropped as well and DoK will be reworked into a more generic aelf faction.
>>97096301Oh yeah I know, just spitballing here.It's a shame because jolly cooperation is one of the more unique things about cities, along with the late medieval/hussite firepower thing which you don't see too much in fantasy.
>>97096439I don't think I like this. I feel like Fyreslayers should be expanded away from just Duardin, like fire belly ogors getting added into them. Just all half naked fire worshippers. I also like DoK as the monstergirl faction, they should eat into the BoC real estate and have big titty minotaurs.
>>97096399>>97096439Sorry all " normal " type elves are sent back to Fantasy. GW won't allow for overlap save where necessary ( chaos )
>>97096469which sucks because elves could easily slot in as a scouting force that can tag threats before they reach the frontlines or as a rapid-fire war machine crew, y'know, something that their finesse could take advantage of like a ballista. They can even have those floppy hats like the top image to keep their ears exposed and make it obvious they're elves and not humans.
>>97096471>I don't think I like this.I don't either but I have a premonition of it coming our way.
>>97096055>>97096239it's not that GW can't do CoS elfs and dwarfs, it's that they don't want to because they want CoS as the majority human faction. The continued existance of elfs and dwarfs in the book is only because they didn't want to piss grognards off after they killed WHFB, so they gave them a way to keep playing with their minis. If that supposed leak about fyreslayers getting turned into khazalid holds as a general dwarf faction is true, I would put CoS getting new dwarf and elf units at basically zero. Honestly, instead of putting non-humans into CoS, they should just rewrite the rules for regiments of renown so you could take some units from the same grand alliance.
>>97096475I don't care if they're slightly weird as long as we get qt elfs with giant swords and leggings
I remember that the mutalith vortex beast had a profile specifically for tzeentch but i cant find it in the tome.Is this some mandela effect bullshit or did it exist?
>>97096703Was it a think last edition or something? Wasn't Archaon also a universal Chaos thing too?
>>97093832>I dont understand gw retarded obsession with promo minis.They can sell them for twice as much. Why make $35 when you can make $70
>>97096832They make so many of these fucking commemorative series garbage sculpts that they lose all meaning. Reminder too that these limited time sculpts they charge premium for are often artist tryout sculpts that cost GW nothing.
>>97094394Meta lists are Glutos, Twinsouls, Blissbarb Archers, and Slickblades. Nothing in there you'd call trash aside from maybe the Slaangor - but I like their SoG scrolls since you get a 9" fuck-you missile that does 3 dmg with a charge and potentially a lot of Out-of-Combat moving. In my experience, Sigvald is a hero-nuker and a distraction piece. But my Siggy specifically likes to fucking roll like dogshit despite his weapon being a 2+/3+
>>97096471>I feel like Fyreslayers should be expanded away from just DuardinThey could have magma/fire elementals indigenous to the volcanos they inhabit. Some offspring of other godbeasts, like Ignax, Ignimbris, Fulminax, or just some cousins of the magmadroths like how stardrakes and draconith are all descendants of Dracothion.
>>97097069That'd be fine, but I kind of like the Ogors idea big guys backing up little guys is a kino look.
>>97097004Not a fan of twin souls vs the standard armored dudes (especially if my friend loans me his fancy airbrush and pearlescent paint for their armor and shields) And honestly good to hear! I'm pretty excited to swap from the slow ass Ossiarch for something that has both ranged and speedy options alongside one of my favorite models of AOS! We'll see how it goes but i'm very optimistic!
>>97097365You could run both, honestly. Twin Souls just get nicer buffs overall. Painbringers have a better save (3+ vs 4+) and a better hit on their weapon, on top of +1 rend when fighting on an objective you don't control.Twin Souls, however, get +1 attack (at -1 to hit in comparison), but also cause -1 attacks and get a 5+ Ward if they're in combat and haven't charged this turn.Could do half and half, let the Painbringers push up and Twin Souls hold. A good combo is Sigvald with a Lord of Hubris as a bodyguard. Hubris uses its ability to either force Sigvald to be ignored by a unit, or give Strike-Last. Then you use Threnody Voicebox to give everything -1 attack on top of that. Makes for an annoying time getting to Sigvald.
>>97097377>Twin Souls, however, get +1 attack (at -1 to hit in comparison), but also cause -1 attacks and get a 5+ Ward if they're in combat and haven't charged this turn.It does sound tempting, I'll keep it in mind! Lord of Hubris sounds like a very fun unit to fiddle with. Faction looks very fun and I'll be excited to get to paint it and fiddle around with Sigvald finally. Again, still 200% biased for Sigvald and Glutos haha.
why does 40k get rerolls for hit/wound but aos doesnt?
>>97093589Screenshot that page to post whenever the TWW secondaries get uppity
I’ve been looking at the OBR scrolls and sheets and while I’m 100% a noob they look really powerful. They have a lot of overlapping buffs, tough units that hit decently hard and accurately. They have recursion and wards too with good saves. Their relentless discipline rules also seem very versatile and everyone always tells me that doing things on your opponents turn is always strong. They are rather slow, is this their Achilles heel? They appeal to me but I’m afraid they’ll be oppressive to my opponent. Idk it just looks unfair. Can somebody give me the bone boy rundown? They have some nice spearhead boxes you can double up on for a good chunk of points and variety.
>>97097530They're tough, slow as fuck, basically have no recursion outside of a few niche cases, your cav is good and Mortek are a solid battleline and you get lots of buffs.The achiles heel is speed and that they're the death faction with the least amount of healing/recursion. (Also units are pricey and you're relatively "elite" for a death army) I didn't vibe with them, they have some neat stuff but still feel very lacking in terms of variety and options, and GW is pushing them as the slow "aura/buff" army which I didn't vibe with.
>>97097390Welcome to the cult, anon. Live deliciously.
I had a dream there was some new key art for a new Warcry set and all it was was a skaven assassin perched on a building overlooking a free city but it kinda went hard it's difficult to explain why
>>97097530they certainly arent the best faction in the game, and if you dont have Katakros to play then you're going to have a bad time. With Katakros however theyre a bit of a noob stomp army, to beat it you need to be smart to play around Katakros and maybe go for a double turn.But all of the elite armies are kinda like that, so dont feel bad when you win a wh game, cause generally ur opponent will be sad lel
>>97096439>DoK will be reworked into a more generic aelf faction.The leak for DoK is that they are getting rolled ino Malerion and his elves. No surprise as DoK are at the very bottom of ownership and popularity.
Now that the dust has settled, why did the Helsmiths of Hashut flop?
>>97097872all the age of sigmar people who are going to play the game at this point already have at least a couple armies
>>97097872Thoughts on why TOW flopped and is only considered a specialist game, anon? >>97093589
>>97097826>new cool demonic centerpiece unit>probably get some good heavy armored infantry>bringing back actually cool cavalry>bringing back cool monsters like the kharabidysI largely prefer AoS factions to old world ones but DoK just feels like they took old world dark elves and cut out half the good shit.
>>97098021They should've souped CoS Dark Elves with them but then we'd have WFB Dark Elves and they didn't want that. Malerion will save us.
>>97097983Being a specialist game is kinda nice desu, stops executive mettling like what got 4e so simplfiied
>>97097795>>97097563Thanks for the info.If you’re gonna have a bad time without katakros, does every list that takes itself seriously run one? Like, in a given OBR army would they usually run a Katakros? Because while I don’t dislike the model I’d prefer to have another hero and not paint such a detailed centerpiece diorama. Besides that they pretty much just slowly trudge up the board and hold their ground right? Like a macro-heavy army
