You got any hobby goals to clear before we clock into 2026?
>TQProbably more Underworlds if i find time this year
>>97133229My bad I linked the wrong page. This is the actual overall popularity rate for submitted lists. So it's probably pretty decent to use as a relative measure of popularity.
>>97133257>TQWorking on my Ikon. Still have my Enlightner then my backlog will be clear AND I'll have reached my goal for 2025.
Another day, another 24 hours of longing for a Dominions: Rise of the Pantokrator grand strategy AoS videogame.
>>97133292Thanks anon, interesting stuff. I don't know if tournament stats are necessarily more reliable though, I've heard tomb kings are quite good competitively for example, while say empire is kind of shit. I know from experience with aos that for example dok or idk tended to be bumped up quite a bit in tournament stats vs general polls, because they're usually pretty meta.Then again, the square based poll had warriors of chaos as a mid tier army and that also didn't really pass the eye test to me, so who knows.
>>97133292Oh also>top 2 performing factions are cathay and a cathay army of infamy, with 56.5% and 71.5% winrate respectivelyJeez, that bad huh? Are the balloons really that good?
>>97133350Yes, if the leaks are accurate then the FAQ/balance patch next month is going to rape them back down to earth.
>>97133350The balloon is insane. It isn't even playing the same game. It's one of the most naked examples of printed powercreep I can rememer from GW. However, the TOW community actually has balls so there are a number of good comp systems used to tone it down even without daddy GW's hand.
>>97133350>>97133357Yeah most tournaments now just straight up limit the number you can take and that seems to have done it.
Does anyone have the new Ghyran Path to Glory PDF? Curious if it's worth switching to over Ravaged Coast.Has anyone had a chance to try it out yet? Love some narrative funtimes. Thanks!
>>97133398The book is not out for another two weeks, scans are gonna take longer than that.
>>97133294Well that's the problem you see, the coolest part (conceptually) are the basic bitch skeletons, horses, chariots and scorpions, all of which have dogshit old models. Maybe the chariots are passable. Most of the newer stuff hasn't been my jam exactly, not a fan of the dragon, sphinx (cat variant is okay I suppose), snakes, ... Some of the new characters have been cool though. I think right now the only tk unit that I'd be happy to buy is the tomb guard and maybe the bow ushabti, idk if that one's new or not. Maybe I'll pick up the former as a pure painting project in the meantime.>>97133353>>97133357>>97133363Oh, that explains the pictures I've seen floating around with like 9 unpainted balloons spread across 3 tables. Kind of hilarious of gw though, first force the waactards to buy 3 vhordrais worth of overpowered shit to then bring down the hammer.Anyway's an aos question that's been bugging me lately, how do you guys think the rumoured cos vs eshin spearhead "starter set" is supposed to work? A double set like the current repurposed skaventide one, with terrain and a booklet and everything? You think they'll add another board/ruleset like sand and bone?Also do we know anything about the models inside, I'm not super up to date on rumours. Will they all be new stuff?
>>97133437>scorpionsNTA but I think that model is cool as fuck, agreed about the skellies though
>>97133437>will have terrain and a booklet and everythingno idea but I hope we get some cool elite CoS units and some good ninjas for eshin. Sneaky backstabbing ninjas are cool and AoS needs this>>97133257>tqfinishing this fucking spearhead, god damn it's taking forever. I've got 90% of the infantry done, just need to assemble and paint my boat.
>>97133458these are just discount boxnaughts. Man I really just do not like tomb kings on a philosophical level.
>>97133433Thought it came out weeks ago, my sense of time is ruined clearly.>>97133357What makes the balloon so busted?
>>97133497NTA but there’s too many rules to list as to why, so I’ll just post the profile it has and the options/rules it has. Keep in mind it can also be taken as a mount for some characters.
>>97133497>>97133573
>>97133470Why anon? Settra too cool for you?
>>97133468>cool elite CoS unitsAfaik current rumours say an arch knight unit, and a mixed bardiche/gun hybrid unit (picrel). For eshin I think it was your standard night/gutter runners and then a named deathmaster. Seems like I'm missing something though because spearheads tend to have 4 units.
>>97133437>I hate old models>but I also hate new modelsSo waht do you like then?
>>97133257>TQpaint my kruleboyz's skin green
>>97133628I dislike most of the old models for being visually shit. I dislike most of the newer models for being conceptually shit.Like I said, I like the tomb guard or bow ushabti for example.
>>97133617You're missing a generic deathmaster and a BattlepriestThe leakers have also said that that apparently Spearhead is replacing Warcry and that the following spearheads will be like the CoS and Eshin ones, so I asume that means 1 named character, 1 generic Hero and 2 units.If the latter part is true I think it will help give AoS named characters since some factions don't even have one and new units that don't come from the mandatory release everyone gets
>>97133713>Spearhead is replacing WarcryIt's not even the same niche fuuuuck
>>97133292Is this proof that orruks should be very popular if they weren't tragically mismanaged by the AoS team?
>>97133675sounds like you just don't like TKs so why would you even consider getting into them lol
>>97133759>lists multiple TK sculpts he likes>sounds like you don't like TKs
I know I'm in the minority, but I don't like the new Blight Kings. Too fat and not enough strong looking, plus they don't have as nearly as much body horror as they should. Old ones were simply better. The rest of the Nurgle refresh is absolutely great though.
>>97133788I completely agree with you, they're much too clean for Nurgle.
>>97133788In general the Nurgle refresh is really mediocre. They are running on creative steam at this point.
>>97133849Thanks! Also while I appreciate them going for a "corrupt Celtic cult/Swamp cult" aesthetic, it's kind of a stark departure. New Festus is cool though.
>>97133713Mhm, they'll have to rebalance the whole thing then, if that's the new powerlevel balancing this against the older ones will be harder. Those typically follow a pattern of "character + basic infantry + elite infantry/ basic cavalry + small to medium monster or warmachine".Also this shit better go down in price if they're going back to something closer to start collecting. Wouldn't be the first time GW killed something by trying to squeeze 5% more profit out of something.
>>97131785Yes anon I can see it much better now. Looks nice.
the biggest store for wargaming in my area just cut its entire SGS aisle except for HH. the rest of that space is just terrain and, weirdly enough, warcry kits. odd
>>97133664Hey guys, we already know who the remaining 3 mortarchs of Nagash are.
>>97133782>I dislike most of the old models for being visually shit.>I dislike most of the newer models for being conceptually shit.>Like I said, I like the tomb guard or bow ushabti for example.Liking 2 kits out of the entire range while considering almost everything else shit sure sounds like not liking the faction to me
My lgs has it's shelves arranged like a dungeon They have cams and mirrors all around to watch for shoplifters though. It's still pretty cool.
>>97133957even necrocum?
>>97133973? I like the concept of egyptian skeleton warriors, horses, chariots, as well as some of the constructs like the scorpion and ushabti, I just don't think their current sculpts are up to par since it's not 2003 anymore.I enjoy some of the new stuff like tomb guard, some characters, the bow ushabti, the cat variation of the sphinx. Meanwhile some of the other new units, while visually more up to date, I just don't like very much conceptually. The winged sphinx, the snake riders, or the bone dragon being examples.I don't think this is a very complicated take anon.
>>97133973I love the Sepulchral Stalkers and that new necrolithic bone dragon looks nice. The tomb scorpion is neat also.
Tomb kings in AOS would have just been El-dorado vampire counts stuck in chamon.
>>97134043I thought the one mention of them said they were made of obsidian or covered in obsidian or some shit
>>97134012>>97134021I hope the new skeletons follow the designs of the new hero kit. I am a big fan of how the new plastic kit looks compared even to the resin TK hero that was released with TOW on launch (I think the TK resin hero might be the fastest replaced model I have ever seen, like 1 year before being replaced by a new kit)
>>97134058And the new priests just for reference
>>97134058>>97134064Oh yeah those are great too!
>>97134058>shoeless >in the scorching desertI've got a few nitpicks but overall it's a solid set of models.
>>97134064>>97134058the banners themselves are cool but I'll never understand whats the appeal about the aggressively neutral aesthetic the faction has.
>>97134096>neutralWhat do you mean? It's just vaguely egyptian shit
>>97134096>aggressively neutralwhat did he mean by this
>>97134107>>97134113The royalty+gold+undead+khemri pattern just all renders this to like, a whatever faction. The constructs themselves dont help their case when its just all gold too, its not even a hedonisitc degree of jewlery either, its just enough to get the "I am important" vibe across and nothing more. Adding some stuff like ORGANIC snakes or scarabs emerging from their eyes or some kind of pore would fix this but they're just "good undead" which is boring for warhammer.
>>97134193>ORGANIC snakesI see you bone snake hater
>>97134193What a fucking retarded take
>>97134193>good undeadyou should probably just not voice your opinion about things you know nothing about.
>>97134043>metallic skeletonsnah necrons are gay, OBR bone constructs are much cooler concept that they honestly haven't gone far enough with.
>>97133713I wonder how they'll expand on it. I know technically playing full sized games of AoS would be the next step I assume they're going to try and give Spearhead more meat somehow? Spearhead campaigns a la WHF Warbands? Extended play rules? More Battleplans and terrain sets? I'm not sure.
>>97133924>Wouldn't be the first time GW killed something by trying to squeeze 5% more profit out of something.What was another time?
>>97134193You have dogshit flamboyant taste.
>>97134007yeah, maybe a kit or two stuffed into an otherwise-HH shelf but i didn't notice any
Now that the dust has settled, why did darkwater flop?
>>97134341well obviously they aren't good, which makes them fall back to just being neutral. Them being generally isolationist and being ANTI vampires/nagash doesnt help their case.>>97134426I want you to tell me one thing about Tomb kings that is worth memorizing. thats my issue with them, they dont have body horror, they dont scream evil, they dont even lend themselves as hfy that Bretonian larpers like to do, and the constructs are too overused. dry ass bone aaah faction.
>>97134497>aaahopinion disregardedkill yourself
>>97134497>>97134509
>>97133437>>97133458>>97134193>>97134497first, they need to remove the racist elements of the faction if they are to be translated into Age of Sigmar, they did a pretty good job with the Empire by transforming them into the Cities of Sigmar, which are inclusive to people of all races instead of a crackerfest of white supremacy tropes. Removing the Bonesplitterz was a step in the right direction, they need to prune many more faction of their old cultural insensitive roots
>>97135080Still boring. I think chaos are a better undead faction at this point.
>>97135080If fuckers like you don’t stop spouting this shit aos will be a dead game within the next decade. This repels people from the hobby.
Now that the dust has settled, why did Anvilgard flop?
>>97135167That has to be bait, no way that kind of person spends time on a website where you can type nigger uncensored.
>>97135080I hate non whites, green skins are inferior
>>97135183>FlopYeah morathis titties on my face(I wish)
>>97135167>This repels people from the hobbythey will not be missed
>>97135167>This repels people from the hobby.not half as much as this
>>97135253And you won’t be missed when you finally 41%
>>97135184you haven't spend much time here, have you?
>>97135080why is this thread such a hotbed for shitposters like you? don't you people have other things to do?>>97135261genuinely what am I looking at? square bases are retarded because you get dumbshit like this
>>97135271Oh god, is /aosg/ infested with fags?
>>97135283>don't you people have other things to doI could ask you the same, chud
Can we not be a bunch of dumb cunt gronks and instead just appreciate choco elves?
>>97135343But anon, you have to make her fat and gay as well
>>97135286*taps the sign harder*
>>97135370wasn't the guy who wrote this axed from the company because he tweeted something mean about Charlie Kirk?
>>97135343she needs to look more like this
>>97135367No, I hate fat people. We know this woke nonsense is ending. We will only have delicious chocolate after this
>>97135386Pretty much my face when i see the state of some of the aos fan base. No, “” isn’t a fucking personality, and you’ll never be a real woman.
>>97135343Need fat ass chocolate elves
>>97135409>>97135396>>97135343Hell yeah
>>97135380>tweeted something mean about Charlie Kirkshould have been given a raise
I'd ask the shitstirrers to post their models but I have no interest in seeing half painted ebay rescue gors from 10 years ago and I doubt anyone else feels different
>>97135416>>97135380Will be interesting to see which of these posts the jannies care enough about to prune
>>97135428Can I bet on neither
>>97135432No, that's too likely and boring
>>97135416At least people like this won’t post as much after a full hrt ban
>>97135422He got blown out yesterday by that grot anon so bad he was admitting it was him but was too ashamed to post any of his unpainted models despite screaming about tourists the whole time. We'll likely see him stomping his feet and seetheposting for at least a week
>>97135460who?
>>97135470You
>>97135470Goatlarper
>>97135080This level of retardation is difficult to comprehend. How do you think White nations are viewed by other countries? Do you think they have a nuanced understanding of our cultures and histories, or do you think that we're all boiled down to our stereotypical elements? This is how the world operates.>wahhhhh I can't get into this there aren't any niggers or spics
>>97135566most autistic user on /tg/ somehow gets so angry over culture war shit that he falls for the world's most obvious bait. what a wonderful sight
>>97135566the post started with an anita sarkeesian quote, you dumbfucks are getting so baited its crazy
>>97135566it's pretty easy if you are not on the alt-right kool-aid. We as whites ahve a resposnibility to the world because of the evils of colonialism, Christian missionary work, genodidal imperialism and our forceful spread of heteronormative gender roles which still does a lot of harm in countries all over the world. One of the pillars of this ideology is Orientalism, which you can read about more in the work of Edward Said, which basically otherfies non-whites and transforms them into caricatures that can be dealt with as those in power please. And since power in the society created by imperialism is inherently tied to whiteness (or rather, perceptions of whiteness), even fictional settings need to be scrutinised for perpetuating harmful stereotypes that reinforce white supremacy
>>97135566GW games in general are pretty bad because of the chud community surrounding it, but Age of Sigmar is a step in the right direction. I have mentioned the Cities of Sigmar before which are a good first step at dissolving the ethnostate fantasies people had about WHFB factions, we now need to tackle the other remaining ones in order to create a more inclusive setting that has space for everyone (which will also translate into more customers and thus a healthier game)
>>97135580>>97135584It's nice to pretend people that think that way don't exist, but they do. Calling a retard a retard doesn't make you retarded. >>97135590And you aren't one of the ones I referenced in my replies above. Die and go to hell, faggot.
>>97135590Colonialism etc has existed forever, we just got lucky we were in ascendancy when technology was at he right point to make us dominant. Anyone else would have done the same thing.Heteronormative gender roles being "white" is absolute bullshit. It's biological. There's a reason this nonsense doesn't exist outside of white countries and they know there's only 2 genders.
>>97135607Don't sell our ancestors short. We're responsible for the VAST, VAST, VAST majority of technology throughout history. Anyone else would have done the same, but couldn't.
>>97135343High elves should have fat tits, dark elves should have fat asses, wood elves should be athletic, sea elves should have thick thighs.
>>97135656Oh definitely, we had the Renaissance which also coincided and contributed to that technological boom and the age of exploration. The Roman Empire had brilliant technology too.Really it was all Eurasia in regards to technology. Africa and the Americas contributed pretty much nothing
>>97135681My nigger, I want to subscribe to your newsletter.However, what if I want all of the above?
>>97135690Vampires
>>97135590Jesus Christ this guy is good.
>>97135598My man if you think this looks good you should get your head checked after your eyes. I'm not shocked a DoK gooner would like AI slop though.
>>97135080Nah like it or not, this is fundamentally a justified take, all WHFB "country but X" factions are very likely abysmal dogshit. I do not possess the depth of knowledge to pass judgement on each one of them, but as a slav Kislev is incredibly embarrassing and cringe to look at. Like, it was made by a person that didn't have even surface-level knowledge of the source of "inspiration" and I can assume the same would apply to Lizardmen or Tomb Kings. Depths upon depths of cool, weird, unique mythological concepts left untouched in favour of pop culture slop (except said pop culture slop is old so its uhh soulful or something)
>>97135778As much as the above anon is baiting everyone yeah you're right, it would be neat having more diverse shit done through the lens and with that eye for detail of the culture itself. Would love some more South American designs like Mayan Khorne and more crazy lizardmen. More weirder asian theming for the elves or crazy catholic or arabic shit for the Cities of Sigmar.
>>97135778which is why Age of Sigmar interpretations can and should improve on them. Cities of Sigmar are a prime example which have done away with a lot of problematic aspects of the Empire (though sadly many remain yet, but that is for future editions to fix). Seraphon should be fixed, too, the aztec style is really offensive and tied to racist stereotypes about ancient aliens and similar problematic media, as are Ogor Mawtribes, which are basically Yellow Peril combined with stereotypes about Asian food preferences. GW has already begun to tackle some of these issues, as evidenced by the removal of the Bonesplitterz, which were one of the worst remnants of the World-That-Was, but much more is still to be done
I guess the "AoS is secretly being cancelled" thread didn't get the reaction he wanted so the TWW secondary decided he needed to come here to larp with the exact same talking points. You'd think he'd just go play TWW instead of jerking off into his own mouth.
>>97135802>>97135778Personally I think it's a good thing the real world themes are so shallow. I think if they were all more culturally accurate you would have a lot more people trying to tell you what you can and can't do with your models. The fact that they're all barely inspired by the most basic shit means you aren't going to have someone call you a bad person because you painted some models in the irl cultures unlucky chartreuse or some shit. I think gw pulling skulls from the cathay stuff was a mistake, that they may come to regret later
>>97135834I think it may be an honest to nigger redditor in here with us
>>97135834Is there any way to actually get these cunts to shut up or do we wait until they slip up so we can screenshot it and call them out every time?
>>97135822>>97135802Dudes. Even the White factions are surface level stereotypes. Not Kislev, not Bretonnia, not the Empire, not Norsca, not a single one is anything more than stereotypes mixed with fantasy.
>>97135834anon, the thread is basically tearing Age of Sigmar apart. I don't think that was the reaction the original creator tried to avoid
>>97135855Is Warhammer supposed to be an anthropological fantasy filter for our own world or can things just exist for the sake of enjoyment?
>>97135867>what is falseflagging
>>97135871perhaps you shoulod be more self-critical of why you enjoy things. I bet some people enjoyed minstrel shows back then, that doesn't justify continuing them
>>97135867I'm suddenly debating on making a daily thread like that as a containment measure for retards to stop shitting up the actual thread here.
>>97135871Things can absolutely exist for the sake of our enjoyment. Did you not look at the posts I replied to? I'm pointing out that saying that only nonWhite factions are stereotypes is retarded.

>>97135822>Lizardmen are "noble savage + ancient aliens">Ogors are chinese food jokesShit man I never thought of it like that.
>>97135874I think people like you should be turned into tires.
>>97135607>It's biologicalCute of you to put biology on a pedestal as if it says or means something, or will in the near future>doesn't exist outside of white countries and they know there's only 2 genders.Historically speaking, it verifiably did
>>97135916The gender thing is funny because aos has shown off culture-specific gender identities a couple times, alongside modern standard ones. You don't really see the former depicted that much in fiction, so it's cool to have
>>97135602>It's nice to pretend people that think that way don't existIf you think this, you should probably talk to more people. A baitpost with a cartoon cutout version of pretty mainstream view on things is very easy to tell from a real one, it's not even just because my own lands closer to it, it's never particularly difficult for to tell who's earnestly chudposting vs who's genuine if you don't view politics through the lense of political cartoonists
Hey sorry to interrupt but do you guys think maybe you could /your dudes/ and gimme a blurb
>>97135950>The Bone RollazA kruleboyz clan who, despite having immense luck when fighting and looting, have dogshit luck when it comes to gambling. And by Mork do they LOVE gambling. They're currently in Chamon trying to pay off the several debts they owe to bigger warclans.>Last LightImmigrants to Ulgu, this City has a lighthouse teeming with Hyshian magic, as after their sister city was destroyed by an unknown force, they have come to fear the shadows of their own home>Sigmar's ScoutsThis stormhost is a group dedicated to aiding cities and training their militia throughout Ghur. They are notable for being kind and supporting no matter the odds. they are literally big metal boy scouts
>>97135822Ogres are obviously American coded
>>97135822>Racist against ancient aliens Bro, don't post when you're super high. Or do, NGL it's pretty entertaining
>>97136063Ancient Alien conspiracies discredit non-european civilization's achievements as being from a force beyond our world instead of achieved through ingenuity and passed down knowledge. It's like going "nuh uh all those cool cathedrals weren't made by architects aliens came around and made churches for humans so they can extract their prayer waves for their faith powered rockets"
Do a lot of people play AoS or did people go to The Old World for Fantasy?
>>97135950Here's my warlord.A proper crafty lad Da' Baron Snatchem is. After brewing his own mushroom ales he learned the local orruk and giant tribes of ghur would pay fortunes in armour, weapons, great beasts and magic gubbins for his shamans to tinker with for just a casque of his halucinogenic brews. He's now amassed a great mercenary company comprised of any greenskins willing to make a quick buck for some dirty work. Da' Baron lumbers into battle on his trusty croqsquig, Skullcruncha, and Scabs the bothersome vulture always leering over him.
>>97136070Indigenous people didn't even invent the wheel let alone that ancient tech. Have you stopped to consider maybe you shouldn't be racist against those ancient astronauts? Maybet hey were brown too you can't know.
>>97135950>Tar JumpazKruleboyz from Ulgu that lure caravans near their lair near Tar Pits, where they can easily pick at them without retaliation. Since even they can't run there, they focus on magic, bolts and flying. Skilled birdtamers
>>97135950>From the ripe young age of 600, it became clear that fate had great things in store for Prince Zinfandel the Straight. As soon as thin whiskers began to sprout on his upper lip, he was exiled from elf society for fear of the upheaval he represented. It is common knowledge that only one in ten thousand, or perhaps even fewer, Elvish men are born male. Often, entire generations will pass consisting entirely of women and gender neutral elf men.>Lost and pubescent, the young Elfling Prince roamed the land until he was taken in by a family of peregrine griffons and also some humans I guess. Now he leads a band of Freeguildsmen, rallying them to battle atop his griffon, Chugs-Swiftly.
>>97136133You should give him the rimmed base he deserves. A straight man like zinfandel would want nothing less
>>97136070Oh lol, pretty much no one believes in ancient aliens, that's fringe. Everyone else knows that they were not that technologically advanced
>>97135950Grubdrozz's Sneakiest Gitz.Now these Gitz are the sneakiest ever, you know Frazzlegit hates the dank, well, we's too clever for him. You see what we do is we have all our clothes really bright colours, this way he looks for us but doesn't see us because he's looking for the dank!
>>97135778I'm feeling you. Kislev feels like an insult if you actually know anything about the region, but burgeroids soiface over things they kinda recognise
>>97135950>everyone has cool names for their warbands>my guys are just "Faction, but...,"
>>97136147It's an old wip pic, I don't think I got any pics after I finished rimming him
>>97135950Frostbreath mawtribeA band of particularly crafty beastclaw raider ogors that prefer to hunt down Tzeentchian and Khornate followers of chaos, often lingering in place far too long to craft cannonballs and gunpowder to supply their siege weaponry. Got their name for their icy breaths that chill things too close to their mouths, which is why they prefer to hunt for hot-blooded prey. Khorne and Tzeentch worshippers and daemons are delectably spicy to them. As the jarl of their tribe often puts it "first we crack da walls... Den we feast on da meat inside!"
>>97136194krullbutts is a good name, anon
Tonight's progress. Stupid smoke which took forever, finishing the squig, starting on the lance >>97136083Vultures plus tar pits is very metal combo. Do you have tar pits in the bases? I feel like that could be fun to do
>>97136076How does he mass produce the amount of ale required? Are any of the ingredients for these brews likely to bring him into conflict with other factions, and if so, who's his biggest obstacle? Love the conversions as always.
You'd think after 10 yesrs this general would be better at detecting the world's most obvious bait>>97136070>nuh uh all those cathedrals are made by aliens and are actually extracting divine frequencies or whatever the fuckI know I'm replying to one of the bait posts mentioned above, but akshually there's a fair few historical conspiracytards that believe in exactly this kind of thing. There's a pretty popular 'alternative history' theory that states that much of architecture of the 1800-1900's is actually inherited from a russian/siberian super civilization that had access to 'free electricity' and ultimately got destroyed by a mud-flood (whatever that means), which then got covered up by the british empire somehow (only believable part lel)Anyway, in this day and age no civilization is safe from retards claiming another one secretely built their big buildings.
Now that the dust has settled, why did Bazball flop?
>>97136232Can't rally show it right now but it's nothing special. I used black paint and wood glue, I will have to do a makeover
>problematic>racist>offensive>chudslmfao, this really doesn't do AoS any favours
>>97136306>he fell for itCome on now anon
>>97136253>How does he mass produce the amount of ale required?After making his first batch he and his Boyz all got drunk and passed out and when they woke up a giant was there and had spent the entire night drinking their entire yield. The giant felt bad, not because he drank someone elses property, but because there was no more for him to bring back to his friends.So the giant agreed to bring Da' Baron as many mushrooms as he could carry, from the forest beyond the plains cast in eternal sunlight where the grots would never go. The giant came back a few months later, bringing his whole clan, each having torn their own paths through the settlements and cities in their way, bringing with them the spoils(read: everything living they could cram in their rucksacks, now just rotting bags of blackened sludge and bones). The first giant helped the grots spread their fertilizers in the dens of the spiderfang tribes, and planted the mushrooms there, which began to propagate amongst the corpses. They've since started making larger batches, attracting more attention from the other nearby greenskins, all willing to work if it means access to his brews. Currently he is short handed,and the demand growing, the spiderfang tribes growing more and more frustrated with the tourists vomiting in their caves all hours of the day. He's since set out, with his nastiest, drunkiest, stabbiest gitz to sack and pillage the local settlements for slaves under the advice of his most trusted brew master, Blakklung, a truly immense grot(he's just an ork who stole a helmet and never takes it off) and close ally of Da Baron(if you ask Da Baron).>Are any of the ingredients for these brews likely to bring him into conflict with other factions, and if so, who's his biggest obstacle?It's more so about the mass kidnappings that follow him wherever he goes. Although there have been some drunk ramblings from some of the giants that speak of "angry plants wanting they dum mushrooms back"
>>97136074Someone answer me?
Think I’m going to kitbash a war song revenant with an arch revenants body to differentiate a second mini. Now the question is where do I source a instrument from
>>97136376NoLmao
>>97136379make a vine harp to mirror the slaanesh miniature
>>97136074>>97136376If this is a serious question, there's a certain amount of players that only begrudgingly played aos, I guess slaves to the gw ecosystem or something. I think most of those would've moved over to tow by now though. By and large the playerbase is fairly different now, though of course there's still overlap.
>>97136409I still feel like my dark elves are being held hostage in both systems
>>97136385More people play TOW/WHF in Europe than in the USA. It's absolutely no surprise that Amerisharts prefer the game focused on flash and WOW BIG COOL than the game with substance and an old soul. kek.
>>97136447actually it is the other way around. more people play it in america.
>>97136206>after I finished rimming himI see he still enjoys some luxuries of the elven homelands
>>97136426Yeah fair enough you're caught in the middle of the gw divorce. If it helps we're getting malerion rumours for the first time in a decade, so the current city elf range will probably be dropped to tow once malerion's elves hit the shelves.>>97136472I assume he means proportionally
>>97136379Get a lute from any sort of printed miniature for a dnd bard.
>>97136385https://oldworldrankings.com/ Here's a fan tracker website if you're actually interested in TOW's popularity. Obviously this only captures people that submit lists, but it makes your claim obviouslt false.
when do you guys figure towfags will get tired of this shit? This thread is unbearable these past couple of days, I've been shitting up /wfg/ in the meantime but its getting kinda old
>>97136527They're riding high right now as a result of actually getting some models and imagining TOW taking over the world. The boring reality of GW's release schedules will grind their souls back down soon enough.
>>97136527Posting here is better than anything else they can do in thier 3rd world shitholes
>>97135950The Bloodmarrow LegionInstead on gathering bones and resculpting them they prefer to unleash a magical plague that reshapes the bones of living vicitims, eventually growing a new ossiarch that emerges from their flesh. Buts it’s imperfect and results in more deformed ossiarchs, with that and the tendency to destroy entire areas they are despised by other legions.
>>97136527Are you the guy posting all the whacky high fantasy pics? Either way don't go raiding yourself retard, it's embarrassing.In any case it's not just TOWers, 40keks and /v/ermin crawl their way over here all the time too. Hell that one guy asking about if anyone still plays aos or if they moved to tow asked the same thing in /twg/.The real problem is anons in here taking the most obvious bait imaginable.
>>97136563Unprecedented levels of soul anon, nice work.

>>97134497>I want you to tell me one thing about Tomb kings that is worth memorizing.Their rad as fuck leaders, and their cool animated statues made in the shape of thei gods. you're entitled to your opinion, but I really don't agree thatthe skelemen are the coolest parts of their army by a long shot.(though an undead army that is less about a handfull of lone heros and monsters backed up by some skeleton chaff could be cool)
I thought this was an AoS thread
>>97137151Then find better sloptubers.Japan's United Gaming Society has 200+ episodes narrated as 2 guys discussing rumors and hearsay in a tavern of the setting.Hearthside Lore straight up reads the 6th ed armybooks, with little to no deviation.Lorebeards is pure onions but they get their fantasy fluff straight, unless these were the ones you're talking about, but they're morathi fanboys and have weirdly enough championed aos fluff for what concerns her at the very least.
>>97137225sorry, but secondaries still sneed over AoS and decided to epicly toll us reddit style by shitting up the thread.
Since there are Spirits of Durthu, are there also Spirits of Adanhu or Coeddil?
>>97137259no, they died horribly and durthu inherited all their essence, or at least the one that wasn't made evily radioactive.but you could have spirits of durthu with aspects of coeddil or adanhu, so in a way yes, you can.
No new model unveiled today?
>>97137369GW started their holiday wind down like last week. Ain’t gonna be shit until mid January except for Christmas reveal and maybe something on New Years.
>>97137369>>97137386december 8 is a bit early no? But I guess you're right they're just releasing the prewritten grotmas stuff for now.
>>97137416>december 8 is a bit early no?its based on their release schedule, which is 2 weeks ahead of the preorder datethe items on preorder this past saturday (dec 6) are going to be released on dec 20, and there wont be anything significant again until january
>>97137386>and maybe something on New YearsNew Year Silhouette videos are a given at this point, they do them every year. I think the main curveball is that usually we get a big LVO preview in January but LVO has been moved, so GW has to either piggyback a different event or do an independent preview. We're at the point where almost everything covered in the last preview will be released soon so we're due.
>>97137036Your suns the wrong color
Man I hope the sylvaneth restores the season rules. Being able to pick one and layer that on top of subfaction rules was very flavorful.

>>97137560Ohhhhh it's an hourglass, I get it now
>>97137654Rotbark is the one I haven’t seen since like mid 3rd. I swear Chorf anon was around recently but I might be mistaken.
>>97137660I wonder how he feels about hoh.
>>97137232I don't seek it out. I just saw it on my feed and was curious. It was pancreas, who has covered AoS, on another guy's show who didn't know anything about WHF save from Total War and was the one being pissy about AoS lmao I just thought it was funny how any mention of it engenders condescension, even if they're woefully uninformed.
>>97137660I can't believe he said people actually bought his STLs. I guess this was like five years ago tbf so maybe there was less availability for them? Obvious proxy STLs are so ubiquitous now

>>97137773Pancreas is a know nothing loser, anyone would be better than him. AoS, for better or worse doesn't really have any lore slop channels. Well besides that ESL throdrim or whatever but he can hardly be counted.>>97137856the ogroid is whatever but you have bad taste
>>97137899My schizo theory is that the ogoroids, kragnos, and boc were all intended for one battle tome but the changed their mind last minute and scrubbed all the chaos icons off kragnos. He has a very similar face structure to the ogoroid faces and the ogoroid characters seem like they would be good daemon prince style units for boc
>>97137899>AoS, for better or worse doesn't really have any lore slop channels.2+tough is alright
>>97137911>my schizo theory is-we know
>>97137820STLs were a little harder to get your hands on back then. Purple site was much smaller and so a lot of the easier stls to access were getting flagged more often because it was easier for gw killteams to find them.
>>97137899AOS barely has any lore to sloptube about, everything's like small sentences and has nowhere near the random bulltshit or depth of Fantasy or 40k. I had mentioned a couple threads ago I think GW could make waves by making something like the Warcraft Chronicles books that are effectively just big ol' books of fluff with some good art and cool details and concepts to flesh out the factions and realms.
>>97137921Yes! I’m close to a bingo!
>>97137899Yeah, Arvandus used to like five years ago or something. 2+ tough used to be a little more interesting, talking about what he liked about factions, but now he regurgitates a wikia or something AoS just doesn't have anything to latch onto it's just scattershot irrelevant blurbs
>>97137232>Japan's United Gaming Society has 200+ episodes narrated as 2 guys discussing rumors and hearsay in a tavern of the settingNta but I watch a lot of anime, but I don't think I could pay attention to a full podcast in another language. I consume podcasts while doing other stuff, so it'd be hard for me to be following subtitles and shit while I was doing the dishes or cooking or something
>>97137911Ah yes, the ogroid for silver tower drawn in 2014 was actually a scrapped model for a range planned for 2024!
>>97137944A Tzeentch Ogoroid releasing alongside Tzeentch Gors tbf The destruction race fluff came out in 3rd edition iirc
>>97137944You seem to think that everything they release is something they just finished sculpting a year ago. It's more realistic to imagine that they have a large backlog of things, and things get shuffled around as they need to be. I'm sure every big space marine waves sculpts were done sporadically over a few years and they just wait for them to build up. Same as heresy.
>>97137899Nta but tzeentch is supposed to be conceptually abstract and hard to grasp. The two reasons to not like the range. Either because like me you are filtered out at level 0 by the flamers and horrors being weird blobby things that probably take a lot of work to paint well and otherwise look weird, or you are ascended and think that the range of abstraction should go beyond chewed bubblegum monsters and birdmen. In short, the range is either too weird or not weird enough. If someone doesn't like the range, don't assume their taste is bad, because it might be that to them you are the pleb with no taste.
>>97137942Despite the name of the channel, it's in English.
>>97137969NTA but I couldn't really conceptualize what the fuck was going on with flamers since I never saw the models in person just the pics on the website. Finally clicked seeing them in a video game IN MOTION that they're more or less just a set of floating clothes. I would enjoy if Tzeentch had some more freak shit, like have the horrors basically be one blob with several slots for limbs and bits to slot in then give them a bunch of options. Maybe different faces too via squig kits (could even have some with horrors popping out) Have some weirder proportions on your creatures and go a bit more all out.
>>97137962>alongside Tzeentch Gorsand tzeentch humansand tzeentch demonsand mutant goblinsand a skaven
>>97137963If you think about it that's pretty unlikely in this day age. It's especially less likely for AoS. If you imagine their sculpting team as a bunch of geezers with come up with cool minis which they incidentally sell when they have enough to make a wave, sure, but realistically that's not how they work anymore. Im not saying it doesn't happen, but GW is a corporation and they wouldn't want to waste development time and resources on potential dead ends or leads that may not pay off for several years or even editions. They're chasing the next four fiscal quarters. AoS minis in particular are not as easily released as space Marines are, too. A random lieutenant with a previously not released load out for their WYSIWYG game is welcome whenever they release new Marines. A random dinosaur or ossiarch can only go in one army, so they certainly aren't planning on having more than a 10 - 20 sculpts in the works but not released for AoS at any given time.
>>97137855Ratling guns
>>97138011I don't know if I'd agree as much, I wonder if GW when they make centerpieces or models that you know for a fact you'll see 200 times for golden daemon entries if they know people are gonna use it for kitbashing.Like if they put out a nurgle dude for AOS how likely do you think they know it's gonna cross-sell to 40k or like big monsters in AOS getting turned into something for another game?
>>97137988>FlamersThey always reminded me of Randall from Monsters Inc. I imagine they'd move similarly.
>>97138041Yeah I can see it, it's such an odd design for a flamethrower monster so I can't say it's not super abstract but also... I feel like you can be abstract but get an idea across at the same time.
>>97138051muscle gut
>>97137981Very strange
>>97137917>2 hour realmgate wars videowell I found my background noise for painting today.>>97137969> a lot of work to paint wellif your taking doing just the basic box color scheme or something similair, it really doesn't get much easier than horrors or flamers. Horrors are color coded by name and pretty much just the one color, so you can do basic contrast or 1 layer paint and call it a day, and flamers are just a two color gradient. The range could obviously be weirder but between stuff like the guant summoner, the birds, chaos spawns etc I think it's pretty good. My main complaint is units like the mutalith vortex beast and sphiranx aren't part of the tzeentch battletome despite being perfect for the aesthetic.
>>97137969>should go beyond chewed bubblegum monsters and birdmen.Tzeentch demons always were weird bubblegum and even had a horror that used its head as a drum.Tzeentch is the god of mutations not some lovecraft abstract horror so beastman, monsters etc are fitting for him.Tzeentch armies always were about a small cabal of powerful wizards, sacrificial pawns (beastman/cultist) and demons.What tzeentch needs is more mutated units like forsaken.
Hey guys! I am looking to get into TOW with Skaven. I saw skaventide exists, is that considered good value? How does that compare to the Christmas box for a Fantasy army?
>>97138091Smooching four armed blue daemon ladies
>>97138097Skaventide halves are pretty cheap. I dunno how well they'd rank up, /wfg/ would be a better thread to ask
>>97138091>My main complaint is units like the mutalith vortex beast and sphiranx aren't part of the tzeentch battletome despite being perfect for the aesthetic.We even had a tzeentch profile for the vortex beast in 2nd edition i think.
We need half-animal IdonethThat fucking brain worm from last month will not get out of my head
>>97137963they have 3 years backlogs not 10 years ones, and even then a lot of shit gets released way way sooner
>>97138102Tzeentch girls are so cute. Too bad we have to purge them all for Sigmar.
>>97138123You can convert mermaelfs to count as akhelian units champions right now.
assembled 10 eternal guard for my cities of sigmar steelhelm proxies for living city. gotta say I have no fucking clue how im gonna pant these guys. They seem small as hell. Glad I left the weapons off because they seem like they would obscure some stuff.
>>97138033I think GW has a pretty strong expectation that their centerpiece models will, by default, be popular, but they can miss in either direction. I think they were honestly proud of Kragnos. I think they probably knew it was good, but didn't expect Ushoran to be as incredibly well received as it was. I think they certainly expected Vhordrai to have a better reception than the Bale Taurus, but even still I think they overestimated the BT
>>97138192I saw the Bale Taurus in person recently, that thing is pretty tiny for the base size they want for it. It's a cool model but not the craziest thing I'd imagine for a chorf centerpiece. It's one step below Gobbsprakk where I think he's pretty solid but not the most exciting lad in the world.
>>97137855I don't think that ratling guns have ever not been the best option in any edition of AoS or Fantasy
>>97138058Between the kairic acolytes and muscle guts over here, the real reason Khorne hates Tzeentch is that they are competing for the limited supply fo HGH in the realms
>>97137931These are all the ones I remember from the past two weeks or so. We've had a fair few shitstirrers but I feel like they were more raids than homegrown 'tism.Looking over things again I probably should change some things, I was clearly running out of ideas towards the end. Should replace one of these with "slaanesh was going to be cancelled theory" or something.Also funny that the flopposter has been going at it from at LEAST early october. Nothing if not dedicated. Where the chorfs even fully released back then?
>>97138246I feel like we've deffo had Morathi Poster and X Faction will be squatted like 3 times in the last week.
I do think sylvaneth should be a soup faction that has dwarves and human worshipers of the everqueen. nevermind kurnothis follwers.
>>97138246Gives me a warm feeling being responsible for two of these.
>>97138270which schizo are you?
Was rape an integral part of BoC lore in AoS or is the rape a fantasy concept that didn't carry over?
Today I would like to share my Khorne army I'm working on :) I have two bloodthrones/skull cannons in the wings waiting and I might see about magnetizing those or converting one into a herald on foot.
>>97138312Didn't that thread literally just close because no one was posting in it
>>97138312Rape was never really a part of their lore in AoS nor WHFB you weirdo cuckold
>>97138321NTA but what about Fimir
>>97138321Yes it was beastmen love rape that's one of their core characteristics. >>97138326Yeah but different. Fimir rape to reproduce. Beastmen rape for the love of the game (hate)
>>97138312The only faction with sold accounts of rape are DOK giving it out
>>97138253Morathi poster on second thought sure, but I don't think I've heard much faction squat doomposting in a while. The confirmation that fyreslayers are staying kind of put a pin in those for now.>>97138326They were in early whfb but I think that was scrubbed by gw even before aos rolled around.Fun fact, in aos fimir were actually part of ga destruction, not chaos.
>>97138326I see you trying to get a bingo
i love my wife, neave
>>97138343They should bring them back though, i really like the concept of Fimir. I enjoy using them in my whfrp sessions.
>>97138312aos kinda goes out of its way to describe other ways for beastmen to come into being, major ones being asexual spawning from primordial goop or masses of flesh, or normal adult humans getting turned into beastmen mutants via spells or curses, and even the slaaneshi beastmen aren't really described as having particular things regarding lust and are more about pretty trinkets, or being the object of adoration from slaaneshi cultists, or perhaps implicitly fucking the fiends of slaanesh and generating fiend-bloods.it's safe to say that the rape aspect would be ignored as much as possible, but then again one of ghyran's main continents is natively populated exclusively by female creatures.
>>97138359Cool, thanks for the detailed response!
>>97138359I'd say them being formed from curses, chaos corruption exposure mid pregnancy and corrupted beasts would be alot more interesting.The rape concept is just kinda stupid and comes off as a barely disguised fetish.
>>97138326Also in ghyran
>>97138374That's how they get created in fantasy too, in addition to rape.
>>97138374>The rape concept is just kinda stupid and comes off as a barely disguised fetish.I think it's more so that women are held on a pedestal in modern Western society. So that rape of a woman is considered a tastless/taboo thing in settings. Even in settings where demons want to steal your soul to torture it for all eternity. Kind of dumb if you detach yourself from the taboo. Rape isn't worse than wholesale murder sorry not sorry.
>>97138351She's gay, dude.
Besides Dawnbringers 6, any other mentions of Daemon Prince Khul? Any lore on how he looks now?I really find it strange GW is ignoring Khorne side in AoS so much. BoK got basically nothing since their inital release years ago. A few pity heroes.
>>97138396Its not worse no but still incredibly weird
>>97138387Wtf i like beastmen nowMinus the rape
>>97138420https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/Ws6w9vZu/dawnbringer-chronicles-xv-blessed-by-blood/There’s a vision of what could become of him at the end of this short.
>>97138430Only because you have been desensitized to violence and other depravity but live in a culture where women are put on a pedestal.
>>97138396It's one of those things where, yes, you are correct, rape is not as bad as mindless murder.But as a society no one is going to be the guy who seriously advocates that rape should be viewed/portrayed the same as other violence in media. Even if they are correct you don't want to be associated with that, and if you feel strongly enough to proceed despite this stigma, that's when people start to assume there is something wrong with you.
>>97138374The rape thing was always a gross exaggeration from memes and little else, in warhammer the main way for beastmen to reproduce was between themselves.It's also largely a holdover from the thing gw ripped off for their beastmen, the broos, where rape is a much more heavy handed element.But more than for fetishistic purposes, this kind of stuff in foundational fantasy settings was an attempt to make fantasy that would feel gritty, dark, visceral and mature, as opposed to the otherwise pervasive idea that fantasy is fairy tales for little kids.
>>97138420a white dwarf had a scenario where post ascension khul was involved in a battle and they just told people to use the normal demon prince model.bets are on a model for him coming at the end of this edition.but we'll all be disappointed if he's just yet another bloodthirster.
>>97136527If you're the guy who was whining about chaos being too powerful and the setting being hopeless I want you to know I engaged with your points in good faith and now I think you're a complete and utter faggot. May you stub your toe at an inopportune time and embarrass yourself in front of your loved ones, not that you have any in the first place.
>>97138491I told you that you're retarded for engaging and yet you still did. For paragraphs.
>>97138420You'll get mega death scorpion 3000 daemon prince khul soon enough, don't worry.>>97138466I was going to say, I don't think beastmen have ever been described as using humans to reproduce in the same wat fimir have. I hear a lot of people saying it, but nobody has managed to actually produce a source. On the contrary you do have mentions here and there of ruts and stuff, between beastmen themselves. But as you day yeah early beastmen models were literally just broo, so the connection is easily made by people.
>>97138500>I was going to say, I don't think beastmen have ever been described as using humans to reproduce in the same wat fimir have.

The Beastmen raped for the love of rape and hatred of humanity.
>>97138505Potato potato. Never seen anyone find an actual source for it either way.
Im gonna wish I was painting nurgle models after im done with these proxy steelhelms holy fuck.
>>97138493I wanted to help someone like the same game I like. I learned my lesson.
>>97138543That's fair. But you spent so much time engaging with a guy who came into a warhammer fantasy thread to let everyone know he didn't like warhammer fantasy. Talk yourself through it next time.
>>97138550People on here are really bad at recognizing bait, I've noticed. I kind of expected the opposite given the nature of the site. See also the retards falling for the 'CoS are a good step in diversity' posts from earlier in this thread.
>>97138396Rape can ever really only get an arbitrary mention here or there in media targeted at adults because the line between "depiction that makes evil guy look evil" and pornography is incredibly thin and easy to cross. It's not that rape is so distasteful it can't be mentioned, it's that people don't want to mix media with porn or borderline pornographic material. If you do want that, /KDM/ is right next door
>>97138212Ratling guns have literally never been good
>>97138587This. Ultimately if you go too heavy with rape in your fiction people will (not unreasonably) assume you're jacking off to it and that will color how they see the whole setting.
>>97138620They're excellent in tw:wh :)
>>97138491Nah that was someone else but yeah you're still a moron for engaging him. I'll stop when retards from your dead game general stop shitting this place up.
>>97138680How do you expect that to happen when you're also shitting up their thread? Blood begets blood, anon.
Im thinking of starting Lumineth after not playing AoS for a long time.
>>97138766I've heard their spearhead is shit, but looking at it it's not a bad deal for starting an army. A bit unexciting, true, but all fairly useful stuff. The backbone of a larger lumineth collection.I suppose they'll get a second one this year.
>>97138246I personally love shit posting about some of these. I could be at my own funeral and id still argue in favor of soup.
>>97138766>>97138836Their spearhead is pretty meh rules wise, but rather excellent for starting an army. 2 of them is a solid start and you can sell the extra Cathallar or try to convert her into another hero. Wardens aren’t great but they can still be used for your castle.
>>97138842We all have our vices anon.Out of interest, where do you stand on the great kragnos boc debate?
>>97137962And Tzeentch gors were added to BoC.Ogroid very specifically wasn't
>>97138873I'm curious what they'll put in the new one, since they basically already used all the basic infantry in this one. Then again lately gw has been getting really fuckig weird with the spearheads. New ghosts, fec, khorne and especially nurgle feel more like stock clearance than anything.Anyway how does something like this look?>dawnriders>stoneguard>ballista ?>stonemageSimilar concept to the old cos one but hopefully a bit sturdier. Loomies have enough random units you could slot in though, they seem to like reusing warcry stuff lately too so we could see riverblades.
>>97138566That was really good stuff though, anon. Space aliens being racist towards Mexicans and ogres being offensive towards the Chinese was new material and we should always appreciate high effort new material.
>>97138587Ironically kdm has relatively little rape, it just has a ton of nudity partly in the "innocence, garden of Eden" sense for the PCs. And then you randomly have giant penis head shitting dick nipple monsters, but those reassuringly mostly just kill you.
>>97138966>And then you randomly have giant penis head shitting dick nipple monsters, but those reassuringly mostly just kill you.Kino, if only the game didn't cost even more than warhammer.
>>97138878I think cross pollination is good. I think my threshhold for forgiveness for a mini or it's rules being a bit dog shit will be pretty low if the mini is agnostic in some way. I liked Sloggoth randomly being useful in gits before it got squatted. I like blocks of Chaos Warriors mixed in with the god-specific armies. I liked Warcry being a toehold into bigmar and I like that Chaos Demons players can easily play both games. Would I buy Kragnos? No, the mini has no appeal to me. I would specifically build lists that do not need him. But do I think that when people can use their minis across more armies, they are more interested in playing more armies and therefore more games. It's also good for GW when people spend money.
>>97138953I have to admit the bit of ogres being a "stereotype of asian food preferences" was genuinely funny, if only the average shitposter put in that much effort. Reminds me somewhat of the autopsy of a failure copypasta that gets thrown around once in a while, that one also had some soul put into it.
>>97138878Oh, you meant do I think Kragnos was repurposed BoC? No, I don't, it would require them to care about BoC in the first place to do that.
>>97138939It’s hard to come up with a spearhead for LRL that is thematic but also fits the “stock clearing” aspect of newer ones. I could see a “Fury of the Realm” themed one that’s like >Calligrave>10 Riverblades>5 Windchargers>5 Stoneguard
>>97139013Autopsy is too long and nobody reads past the 1st sentance. Failed pasta
>>97138334Post one example >>97138326Yeah, if you read into WHFRP 1st edition oddly. The creator already said he didn't intend it to be rape and regrets the implication
>>97139018Lel yeah, little miscommunication there. I did enjoy the musings on soup though anon
>>97139037>Autopsy is too longSo much this. I mean if it has to be split in two posts then it just lacks punch, simple as.
>>97138939It's gonna be stonemage, 2 stone guard and riverblades and maybe a ballista
>>97139131Doing ANOTHER box that's just all infantry would be a miss imo, especially when loomies are one of the only new factions with more than one cavalry kit.I could see something like this >>97139021 being gw's approach
What battletomes do you guys think will be next? I'm really hoping OBR gets some meaningful kits since we already got our token pity hero last year.
Painting all my storm ermin as albinosY/N
Someone plz toss me a scan of the Spitewood rulebook plz and thank you love you anon you're very handsome
>>97139157>major releasesOgresCitiesDorfs >medium releasesSkaven again (eshin)Obr>pity heroSoBSylvanethSlaanesh>unknown sizeSeraphonLoomiesDoKTzeentch (probably just silver tower + pity hero though)With nurgle being a fairly big release in january I'd expect a pity hero next. Sylvaneth would make sense, thematically, right? My best bet.
Feels weird that Belthanos doesn't have a bow or any kind of ranged attack.
>>97139174Nah. Leave albinism for the special heroes/greyseers
>>97139174The highest ranked stormvermin were albino traditionally
>>97139203Is this based on the leaks? If so excellent, I will look forward to my boners.
>>97139211Yeah compiled from various TGA leakers. For some we just know the size of the release, for others we have a pretty good idea of what's coming. Are you unaware of the obr rumours?
I just want to see the new sylvaneth hero
>>97139266I hope it's a priest. Having one would open up a lot of new options.
>>97139266>>97139311>That terrifying Gardener — she wears a crown identical to the Everqueen’s. In her left hand, an amphora overflowing with nectar; in her right, a viridescent pruning-shear. Monstrous roots writhe in her wake, sprouting tender shoots upon battlefields where our fallen kin now blossom with garish pink flowers!Sounds relatively priestly.
>>97139322I wish that faggot just posted leaks and shut the fuck up, those "stories" are so cringe man
>>97139348Almost any rumourmonger left to their own devices will eventually get high on all the attention and starts writing poetry or whatever the fuck.That's why whitefang is based because he just pops up like once every three months to reply "yes" or "no" to other people speculating before going dormant enough.
>>97139203>>pity hero>SoBEvery new kit is a major releas for SoB. Only pitty option would be terrain
>>97138397So?
>>97139322I hope it's another big tt tree lady but I'd take a half naked spite lady with her boobs out
>>97139458brutal lookback. Hopefully GW can get it together for future releases
>>97139399Pity upgrade sprue would probably be more accurate in this case
>>97139479Both are acceptable but I will be so mad if it's a furry elf instead.
>>97139458Can we have sacrosanct beasts back? Dracolines and tauralons? Or maybe make some more funny-looking critters and put them in CoS to make up the difference.
>>97139521I think one of the rumourmongers stated that no more kurnothi were in the cards for the near future
>>97139458kek
>>97139521Only furry ladies should be lumineth giantesses
>>97139458Bonesplittaz are so cool it's a shame British anti racists can't stop associating orruks with africans.
>>97139529Dracolines are the ugliest creatures gw had ever created bar maybe space wolves the flying goats are cool though
>>97139174White fur will be a pain to paint but I don't see why not
>>97139563>ugliestI consider them uglycute.
>>97139174No. Paint them like siamese seal point mice
>>97139588That's too cute for skaven
>found a tiny, barebones LGS with three othar half-kings (and two catachan colonels)Dude I don't even like Death factions but...
>>97139224>Are you unaware of the obr rumours?Gimme the quick rundown
>>97139728If they have the 40k magazine buy them all build them, spray them black, sell them for half msrp and buy your boner army
>>97139458Sacrosant is so ugly, them being squatted is what unironically finally got me into SC. Now they just need to squat all the ugly Vanguard fatcast stuff and the line will be golden.
I hope the Kislev reveal on the 24th rumor is true having Slavic models would be enough to have me start a proxy CoS army.
>>97139747The basic gist is you'll get 4 new kits; two single model kits, one 5 man squad, one 10 man squad.The 10 man unit is supposed to fulfill an assassin-esque function, they've been compared to the admech ruststalkers in 40kThe 5 man squad is apparently some sort of ranged unit, ushabti-lite essentislly.The two single models are a bit more complicated as we don't really know how the concepts relate to each other, but there's been talk of a chariot and of a new arkhan. But what exactly that means is unclear, e.g. we couls get arkhan on a chariot, and say a foot melee character (just making shit up here). Or thr chariot could be a generic character, and arkhan is the other single model. Tldr>10 man assassin>5 man mini ushabti>single model (may be a chariot, arkhan, or both)>another single model (may be a chariot, arkhan, or both)
>>97139807Kislev would make too much sense for a Christmas reveal. I am fully gloompilled and expect an alternative Titus sculpt for 40k to be the big reveal.
>>97139174paint them leucistic. White primary with yellow eyes.
>>97139807>>97139826Most of the rumors seem to agree that Kislev is coming near the end of 2026 not early.
>>97139815>10 man assassinI don't like this since what they mean is its probably going to be a speedy teleporting objective monkey which means they're going to legends Teratic Cohort. (unless they replace it with a full centaur meme unit in which case I will accept).
>>97139203>Ogres>Cities>DorfsMan I am so not looking forward to any of these. From the rumors it just sounds like nothing I want to see will come to pass, but rather the opposite will be the case.
>>97140145and what were you hoping to see
>>97139690Looks skaven enough
>>97140148Plastic yhetees and not a merging of fyreslayers with non-fyreslayer dwarfs.
>>97133957So ? Get your kit online with 20% off.Your LGS doesn't seem interested in giving you what you want
>>97139511like you mean you dont want them to announce what is being squatted (like they were with this image, which has been shorn of context), or you want them to squat less stuff?
>>97139555Did they even end up putting them in Old World as "Krazy Orcs" or something?I actually had a bone splitter army I played in 3rd... It was really fun while it lasted and I even had a nicely painted Rogue Idol as my centerpiece. My opponent and I always had a big laugh with the slot machine infinite damage potential with the Wurrgog Prophet.
It's been four seasons since Wyrdhollow, and a year and a half since the last box dropped for Warcry, but it still doesn't feel like we're out of the Gnarlwood. And the Spitewood setting is not helping.
>>97140186but i buy AoS models, my LGS has those. i guess i miss underworlds kits
>>97140697You think GamesWorkshop has any creativity left?>>97140828
>>97140439I want less stuff to end up squatted, basically put out better stuff with real lasting power. Fyreslayers might skate by with getting souped into dispossesed, DoK might be the same if they ever put out Malerion but I think with everything else it's in a pretty good spot.
>>97138836>>97138873I actually really love the basic infantry so i think it would be perfect for me
>>97141271>>97141271>>97141271
Do yall think Christmas coming up will save darkwater, or is that price tag too much for even Santa to pick up
>>97140985Sweet
>>97138246kragnos was a BOC model and i dont care what corporate shill liars say
