>TQI want to be able to make my own weird regiments in the next edition in the full matched game experience. Especially if it means I can finally make (a)elves. For now I'll experiment with it.
The Plaguespire... Home.
>>97161473I didn't really care before flipping through the article just now but holyyyy this is what I needed
>>97161492Ptg isn't matched play anon, it's a narrative ruleset
>>97161473>TQI like the lore thus far, but the pushing of the Jade Abbey and trying to no-so-subtly bring up the Darkwank shiz in an effort to generate hype for it is pretty cringe tbhon.
>popsicle stick huts in official promotional materialFucking SOVL
>>97161523I dont know if Hype is the word i'd use for it but rather trying to find some sense of purpose between the two. Which, to me at least, is nice compared to how cursed city ended up being cooked up.
>>97161473Terribly overcosted. 190 for 5 Blightkings: 4" 3W 1 control 3+ save, 4a 3+/3+/-1/1 38ppmIn Blighted Wilds, that's >Guardians, 20ppm 5" 1W 4+ save, 2a 4+/4+/-1>+30ppm for a 3+ save >+20ppm for 3+/3+/ >+20ppm for -1 rend 90ppm, 450pts for 5 Blightkings with +1" movement but no control buff. Technically you can't even do that because you need 3 units minimum plus a hero which has to max out at 500pts
>>97161551Oh +40ppm for the 2 missing attacks
Friend wants to part with his Wood Elves. I don't play ToW(ank) but always been tempted by Wanderers. Me and my bro still play 2nd edition AoS in which they are usable.40 Eternal Guard.20 Waywatchers or maybe Glade Guard (can be used as Sisters of the Watch or Shadow Warriors)10 Wild Riders (unbuilt so maybe 5 WR and 5 Sisters of Thorn)1 Wood Elf Lord (Nomad Prince)1 Spellsinger (Battlemage)Worth it? Would love to hear from someone who played Wanderers.
Might have found an Archaon for 80 bucks locally, gonna see if I can haggle it down for lower....
>>97161573Forgot me attention nabbing pic I did
>>97161573Worst case scenario you could always just "counts as" them to some COS stuff with a bit of base size fuckery and some bits.
>>97161473That bloodthirster is going to end up with some nasty splinters from the looks of it. Are daemons inoculated against tetanus?>>97161573>would love to hear from someone who played wanderersBest of luck anon but you're looking at a group of maybe 15 people worldwide at their peak [spoilers] I almost became one of them back in the day, wild riders are cool. If only their infantry didn't look so lame [/spoiler]
>>97161573Eternal Guard kinda shred but otherwise it's quite typical and uninspired iirc? mw sisters, charge buff wild riders. Nothing fun like Sylvaneth redeploys or glade guard -3 rend once per battle. Inoffensive but soulless. It's like Freeguild losing their while grouped order thing from the GHB or Dispossessed losing the bunker down stuff with the shift to CoS but yknow living city exists so I guess you can lean into it that way
>>97161501>The inhabitants of Mire Heath are a raucous, thriving people. Their land is fertile, their folk stout of limb and light of heart. As with any little hamlet responsible for its own well-being, there is always the occasional cause for mourning. Rarely - almost never, in fact - a crop fails or an illness scours the village. Somewhat more frequently, an unheeding drunk or ungovernable child strays too far from the heath and too close to the mire where the muck sings, and for a half-moon after their family's neighbors bring them meals and condolences while they grieve. These occasions are rare, however; the bitter aftertaste of a life otherwise occupied by golden afternoons with vibrant lichens underfoot, spiced by the fragrance of blossoming wormwood trees. Part of the townsfolk's success, if you ask any Heathsman, is their strong sense of tradition. Their communal harvests and feasts, their shared love of bright and vibrant lands, and their simple but entrenched religion means that in the event any two Heathsfolk encounter one another abroad they immediately recognize one another and clasp hands with the warmth warranted one's own kin. One of the most joyous traditions of these bustling, toothsome hamlet, known to all from these parts, occurs at the birth of a blue-eyed child. The village cheers, wines and dines; the child is daubed with mud paints in the pattern of the wheat, the harvest moon, and the dutiful worm whom labors for the folk eternally, tilling the earth on which they rely.
>>97161501I'm more of a Skulpile man.
>>97161585If you actually want it don't wait too long anon. Still kicking myself over losing out on a brand new idoneth spearhead for 75 yuros. That's like €200 worth of models.
>>97161647Oh hey it's that NMM anon, based shrek enjoyer
>>97161666Oh shit I remember that, I'm waiting for them to get back to me since they took 2 dubious pictures and I'm making sure he's not missing like, 2 of the 3 heads on the monster or it's snapped in half or jizzed on or something.
>>97161647>>97161501>The newborn, however, will never be a heathsman. The origins of this tradition is lost, but the child is taken past the amber heaths and pungent wormwood, to the place where soft orange lichen lies thick as pelts and the mire is traversible only carefully and across ancient paths and moldering plank bridges. Here, at the place where there is so very little heath left, where there is oh so much mire, the Heathsfolk leave the newborn where the worms sing. They do not stay. They are of the Heath, and so very little of their presence is tolerated here; only the bare minimum, where the blue eyed Child of the Mire's favor affords them protection.>The Heathsfolk leave, but the child of the mire stays. Any heathsman will insist on the necessity of this - they cannot explain why the eye color of the child has any bearing, nor why the deliberate offering is warranted where a lost child would be tragedy. But now and again, when a fool or an innocent wanders too far, the few that return speak reverently of blue eyes watching from the murk and the susurrus of whispering bells guiding them back to safety. So the folk of the Heath continue to lay their faith in the Children of the Mire, perhaps knowing in their hearts that their entire way of living is contingent on their long-held traditions...
>>97161667Hi
>>97161695holy shit that NMM is beautiful.
>>97161703Lmao I hope that's sarcasm
>>97161708Nta but it does look nice.
>>97161708It's not, I dig the pseudo chrome effect they were going for. I'm sure it wouldn't have the same effect without the bg but I think it's pretty neat.
>>97161708cope, post your models, that was his first attempt iirc
>>97161713It was my third mini, so I see a lot of stuff I would do differently now. This was a couple more attempts later. Thank you though that's very flattering
>>97161717>Post your models Uh. Yessir.
>>97161725>>97161750Dude this looks so god damn cool, and the musculatur you did on his little mount! Also son of a bitch you're the guy painting squigs too?! Fuck me man I gotta catch up on working on things these are beautiful.
I had a dumbass lore explanation for this too.>The curse of the Everwinter is inescapable, as the Sandtribes learned when their forebears stumbled onto Aqshy. Instead of snow, it takes the form of a colossal, man-flaying sandstorm. What sets the Sandtribes apart is their gleaming metal - while the secret of hygiene eludes them yet, the Sandtribes of Aqshy have learned that a sword left overnight in the Everstorm can be retrieved in a later migration honed to an impossible edge. This tradition of sandsteel farming combined with the natural Ogor greed, resulting in a nomadic, mercantile society that uses gleaming scrap metal as currency and status symbol alike.
>>97161695>>97161725>>97161750Bloody Hell, some of the best nmm I've seen latelyGood shit man
>>97161755I stopped playing/painting for a couple years, but it's good to see some of the old familiar faces.
>>97161780That's why I enjoy this thread (sometimes) it's nice seeing folks around here where I recognize there stuff. Also helps seeing more painted stuff to get me off my ass from collecting and assembling to actually putting paint my [my dudes]
Last blog post for today until I paint for at least another couple hours but this is the pic that got me into mini painting (I dry brushed a unit of skeletons white as a kid, if that counts) because I thought it was so unbelievably radical
>>97161788I recognized a mini on here earlier that I remember from when it was an unpainted ossiarch torso on a greenstuff cone and it felt like coming home from college and seeing your nephew grown up
>>97161725Agree with other posters, this is a treat to behold. Well done king.
>>97161812I do find it funny I'm sure anons probably recognize the fucking wall and clock I use whenever I take mini pictures. I'm lazy and use the same spot because it's like the best lighting in my apartment. There's something fun about that type of thing and having a community like that.
>>97161664plague spire vs skullpile
>>97161473Why does AoS art suck so much ass?
>>97161708Trying too hard
>>97161857Just change the colors to black and white and you'll like it more.
>>97161857Because they literally keep getting away with this stupid thing where they fully illustrate two things and then put a bunch of blurred shit in the background. It probably saves the artist they commission like 70% of the time they would spend otherwise. I don't mind impressionism but they keep fucking doing it.
>>97161750It would be in your best interest to not randomly lash out at people right now. People are overly sensitive to shitposting rn and you're going to aquire an orbiter
>>97161674Yeah gotta make sure everything is in order, lots of scams going around. Good luck anon.
>>97161871I’ve heard this before and I don’t know if there’s a word for being style blind when it comes to art. Like how some people are color blind some AoS fans are style blind and can’t see differences in distinct artistic genres.
>>97161890I probably don't NEED archaon, but 80ish bucks archaon is pretty tempting. I'll tell you if it winds up working out.
>>97161638Fair points, EG seems amazing honestly especially when they come in such huge blocks.>>97161621Wood Elves deserve more love! Kurnothi now!>>97161604We play 2nd and some 1st now and then so I shouldn't need to proxy them as anything but I guess if I end up doing 4th Waywatchers could could be Wildcorps, EG as Steelhelms etc yeah.
>>97161886Who am I lashing out at? Its my own mini so to me i see the places where it disappoints me and it's hard for me to appreciate it as compared to when I first painted it
>>97161857I love that art :(
>>97161695Been a HOT minute since I’ve seen you. I remember the WIP posts of this guy.
>>97161695>Looks at this>Looks at my shitty half-painted Ogres>CriesFuck you T_T
>>97161769>kino models>kino fluff for /yourguys/Truly the best of us
>>97161930Yeah but you'd beat me in a game and you probably have multiple painted armies, I just do a half dozen minis and get bored and go back into hibernation like pennywise
>>97161750kek I thought it was someone being mean
I still don’t understand why treelords have high heels.
Anons, do you have the good fortune of going to an LGS that serves beer? I loved my LGS before my break from AoS. It had beer, 30 year old boomers to drink with, a big DND/board game night scene so there were women to avoid eye contact with, basically just a fatguy dream
>>97161977Sylvaneth is a women army, so their style matches. Now go pain butterfly wings on sakura trees
>>97161994I've only had a place organize late night Magic FNMa with beer. Never went, but i've heard it was a shitshow
>>97161994The one I typically play at used to be the old Fantasy Flight Games HQ and has a little bar and cafe.
>>97161994No, but I don't drink anyway. I barely have the good fortune of an LGS that has Warhammer activites at all, let alone AoS.
>>97161994Not strictly no, but I have the opposite pretty close, bar that sometimes has game nights.
>>97161994liquor licences are a racket here and zoomies don't drink. My lgs' are small stores with a disgusting back room the tcg players use daily but I've been to one with a nice cafe before and the local historical club I attended once had catering and cans. It was a waterfront venue too. Beautiful!
>>97161473It's okay. As always the narrative side of AoS is the bastard child of the glorious Crusade rules for 40k. I wish if they're willing to copy bad choices from that game if they could also copy the good ones too. I'd maybe have fun with them if their were people to play with in my area, but everyone here is poor as sin. Myself included as I got these when times were better.
>>97162170As a bookie who does like alcohol, I’m a firm believer it can greatly increase the enjoyability of games as long as nobody gets piss drunk. I have no fucking clue why the rest of gen z doesn’t embrace it.
>>97162170That's ok, AoS isn't for zoomers, it's for boomers, 30 year old boomers, and trans women. >>97162386Based 20 year old zoomber
>>97162386Alcohol is for fat retards
>>97162443Reporting for duty
>>97162443
>>97162493>we're drinking wine at the lgs
>>97162493It's not one or the other I don't smoke weed either
>new model opens near me>they somehow have the commemorative Wight King>80 bucksDamn I don’t think I want him that bad. If no one gets him for a while I might make a bad financial decision…..
>>97162517Aren't those things supppsed to have an MSRP?
>>97162509Everyone in Southern Europe drinks wine to every action they take
>>97162526The majority of warhammer enjoyers are in UK and US and they are most definitely not drinking wine in those environments
>>97162521I figure he’s out of print at this point, I remember first seeing him over a year ago now.
>>97162531Then why is every leaked battletome in Spanish?
>>97162533Because all the painters live in spain so you need to wait for them to finish painting all the pictures of minis in the battletomes
>>97162533The majority of them being there doesn't mean there aren't any anywhere else
>>97162515Congrats on being underage or having a childlike mind
>>97162561>I'm an emotional wreck who can't get through the day without drinking, and smoking while pretending to be happy with my terrible life, at least I don't have a child like mentality!No the brag you think it is anon lmao
>>97162624>no fan art for the Claws of KaranakAnd they actually deserved it.
>>97162623Nice projection but your average adult has the faculties to have a drink or joint occasionally without it being an issue.
>>97162650>
While it is still quiet. Hand over Tom Kirby and this can all end peacefully.
>>97162708>no fan art for the Ydrilan RiverbladesAnd they actually deserved it.
I might actually give you guys a break tonight these VGA awards are so goysloppy it's insane I can't handle much more of this. This isn't a show it's advertising.
>>97162792That's like hanging a 90 year old German man for war crimes, isn't it? I googled the guy, he was an exec a decade ago, unless you wanna fill me in
>>97162844I would make Mossad look reasonable
>>97162849They are (sorry anon i got bills to pay)
>>97162820yeah, the best elves are still the deepkin
>>97161890GOOD NEWS, got him for 86 bucks.
>>97162889Fuckin deeeecent
>>97162533People from beaner slave trade regions don't follow rules?! Imagine my shock.
>>97161695>shrek ogrezased
>>97162345Is crusade better in your opinion? I'm interested in narrative play and just grabbed blighted wilds but I have votann I'd love to crusade with
>>97163185not him but power levels completely ruins it to the shitter for 40k. Havent tried path to glory at all yet tho so idk what thats like.
>>97161799damn that looks cool>>97162517Can you post pic?
>>97163238This is a fine and expressive mini, but it somehow feels like it doesn't match GW style and I can't say why. It's not the pose, the armor detailing isnt inconsistent with GW style, but somehow it just doesn't feel like GW. Is that just me?
>>97163304aside from the feet being cut off, I think it's the cartoony face. That said, I would be buying more GW models if they had faces of that quality.
>>97162837it's not fucking fair bros...WE deserve a video game, WE are GWs second best selling setting, yet we are constantly insulted, belittled and pushed aside. What little we have is doomed to die in the cradle because the fucking grogs are everywhere in every fucking media keeping us down, always turning discussion how we are allegedly some knockoff to a not-selling miniature line and how "unoriginal" our setting is, despite there being major progress over the last editions. It's just not fucking fair
>>97128411all of this teasing...for nothing
>>97163449I got ace combat and a potentially good divinity game. Don’t really care for a console rts DESU. Maybe in 12 years tw 40k won’t look like dogshit.
>>97163449Who cares if AoS has video games
>>97163449This feels like bait, but I mean whatever you can just make an all morghast and Nagash list in TWW and pretend to be an OBR skew list.
>>97163343some models GW do have cool faces, I think what most of the models lack is drama, like, Gorechosen of Dromm for exemple has it: Dromm looks like a fanatic priest, the gorehulk looks nice, and the fatso is a shit poster.I get that GW try to make their models realistic but going for comic book style isn't as bad for miniatures.
>>97163449i actually can't tell if this one is falseflagging or not
>>97163521Isn’t it obvious he is?
>>97163521Anytime someone says "we" it's a false flag.
>this feels like bait>i actually can't telllmao you guys are so retarded no wonder you get baited for literally days
>>97163531Nah now it's 40k generals problem.
>>97161473Soon
/40kg/ here, you guys dodged a bullet. No>console RTSfor you. For fuck's sake, I'm not over it. Who thought that was a good idea?
>>97163631>Who thought that was a good idea?probably gw.
>>97163631now you know what GW thinks of your playerbase compared to the /wfg/ grogs
>>97163644They don't think about larping /v/ermin at all since the TOW rerelease flopped
>>97163631We already got one a couple years ago. GW never learns
>>97163636CA too. small minds think alike.
Best part of the TW40K announcement was that I took the fattest fucking snooze afterwards and feel refreshed.
>>97163304The facial expression, body pose and visual language are at cross-purposes, each are saying something different.I think the body pose is the big fuck up here. Take a look at the position of the left arm, it's clearly in a defensive, hesitant position, which the rest of the body follows. This is not the pose of someone trying to attack with a whip, this is a failed lion-tamer trying to get an animal back under control before it eats him. Body language is the most obvious and primary method a sculpture communicates to the viewer.But everything else works against that. The face is of a crazed madman, showing no connection with the message being communicated by the body posture.The body armor makes no sense, in two key ways. First, it's unclear what much of the material is, and what purpose it all serves. Why does the gauntlet on the right forearm show signs of bending, is it organic, leather? How does the plating on the left arm fit together? Which pieces slide under the other? What's with the breastplate jacket thing over the stomach armor?The second way the armor makes no sense is again, how it conflicts with the body language. Why is there so many spikes, "demonic," looking bits, when the posture is of someone cowering?I think a final big problem that only became clear to me when I studied the model more, is how terrible the armor on the arm looks. Why is the face and hair so crazy detailed, but the arm is just covered with simple geometry out of Warcraft III?
You guys are so lucky that you aren't getting this crap. I've seen better AI generated slop.
>>97163623That's a cool pic of someone else's model
>>97163238>can you post picPic of what? His store? Nobody is doing that for you.
>>97163809Well duh
I was gonna shitpost but wow that game looks pretty bad.
>>97163718>>97163304>tourists unable to parse why the skinny post twink death fag model with small pauldrons and one skull on the whole model doesn't look like a gw model
>>97163846Maybe you should shitpost on the right board if you're going to cry about video games
>>97163846It looks perfect for 40k and I genuinely hope CA never works on a Aos title in its very short lifetime. >>97163848I’m pretty sure it’s some dude self bumping his ai generated model.
>>97163862Probably, he was trying that the other day
>>97163623Hell yeah
>>97163784The top looks like a bad mod.Which it's probably gonna end up playing like since fucking hell CA has never once made a total war game where the units don't fight in blocks and I have no confidence in them being able to figure out how to do so
>>97163718I love you for giving me something to read, anon, thank you.
>>97163809Hey, if there was a rule against posting other people's models the TOW thread wouldn't have any pictures of minis at all.
Just painted this elf, who could I proxy her for?
>>97164038What base size
>>9716404132mm
>>97163942Sometimes I wonder if you people even read other threads before you talk shit about them. You should be better than this, anon.
>>97163449Damage some Dryads and you'll feel better about things
>>97164124Nta, and speaking for myself, you're right. I don't. I hang out in the threads for the games I play. I don't need to hang out in the threads for the games I don't play, because I don't play them and don't really feel the need to dig through a bunch of stuff that irrelevant to me. Not shitposting, but do you intentionally browse threads for things you know you don't like? Why? I'm genuinely interested, because that doesn't really make sense to me personally.
>>97164038Lumi wizard
>>97164286Before tow came out and therefore before the increase in WFB tourism, I would go to the WFB board even though I didn't play because I liked looking at stuff in the mega and every now and then there'd be this absolute gem like the time someone casually mentioned they had 160,000 points of skeletons and someone called bullshit and they were like, no, it's a problem and then posted the (disturbing) evidence
Tonight's progress. I also basecoated some fanatics, which felt very efficient.
I also tried to freehand a vein but I think it looks kind of jarring
>>97164349Could just do a thin translucent glaze of the background skin color over top of it to tone it down without erasing it completely if you think it's too strongLooks fine in the photos though. He's holding on for dear life, gotta have a strong grip
>>97164334>>97164349Looking good anon, loving the blind eye on the squig and again your nmm is fantastic, care to indulge us with your secrets?I finished the base for my squig last night
>>97164358I think I have to do that, I don't mind the highlights but I tried to pick them out with the shade color and I didn't color match well and/or the brush was loaded poorly
>>97164359That's gorgeous, is that just Tufts or is it static grass? I've been thinking of doing static grass on a squig the way sloths grow moss, but I don't know how feasible that is. The mushroom is also (goes without saying) always fun to look at on GSG, and that rock actually looks like a rock instead of broken cork.In terms of NMM, I either blast it with light while it's unprimed and get a good idea for directional lighting or I just freeball and then put dark areas next to light areas. It definitely takes a lot of time, though; I think it would be a lot less fun if you didn't like doing it. If you want to try NMM, just go for it, and then post on here. I can use MS Paint to see if I can adjust any highlights and stuff and we can go back and forth (which is how painting nmm goes anyway). All the painting guides on YouTube are good, if you can learn that way. You'll also notice some of your paints are really well behaved compared to others. Reds or greens generally glaze easily, yellows generally glaze streakily, so if you were doing nmm gold you would probably have an easier time layering up to a harsh yellow highlight, applying white at the harshest highlights, and then selectively bringing it down with deeply thinned primary colors. Based on the dots and the squig, I think your brush control is more than good enough. Do you use the other niceties like wet palette, brush soap etc?
>GW predicted "keyed" 5 years before /tv/ invented it
i like swamp orks
>>97164417That's really nice to look at. Any idea how it was done? Very impressive if it's yours.
>>97164359The purple-cyan color scheme on that squig won a silver demon couple years back
>>97163631>no console RTS for youLmao anon we're more familiar than you think
>>97163631>he doesn't knowby the way, ca had said that all their future titles were going to be for consoles as well one week agoonly fantasy dodged the bullet, its miracle can no longer be recreated
>>97164436The more I think of it, the more I'm convinced that them trying to make RoR a console compatible RTS is the root of basically all of its problems.Seriously, basically every gripe I have about it (Which is mostly tied to the gameplay) can be traced back to trying to get it to work on consoles, even down to the TYPE of RTS (CoH style vs AoE style) that it is.Given that Frontier generally knows what the fuck its doing, the game probably could've been pretty good if they didn't deliberately cripple themselves.
>>97164442Strategy games and console feel like they're diametrically opposed, I can't imagine microing with a controller. Paradox did the same with ck3 and I feel like the whole game got simpler because of it, not that ck2 required a strategical mastermind in the first place, but still. Though it seems to have worked out for them sales-wise at least.
If you want to talk about bing bing woohus you can go to your contianument board
>>97164451/tg/ is a warhammer containment board if anything desu
>>97164451yeah, we should be talking about the stormcasts trailer
>>97161532Based
>>97164466I saw this image and genuinely thought there was some badass shit in the pipeline for us, anon. Pat yourself on the back anon, I had to do a fucking double take
>>97162561NTA but I stopped. I used to drink lots and use a bunch of drugs while partying but am now clean and feel so much better.Only thing is I am coffee addicted but it's fine, that's good for you
>>97164038CoS Sorcereress
>>97164491>Only thing is I am [hing] addicted but it's fine, that's good for youThey all say that
>>97164389Thanks anon, its tufts from gamer grass cause their stuff is pretty great, including the yellow flowersGlad to hear that, is it because of the irregular form? Cause I honestly need to use the way too thick cork more often if that is the caseThanks for the info anon, I should just dive into the specifics already by watching some proper tutorials, it always seems daunting so I keep laying it off.Honestly if you think my brush control is good then thats a pretty big compliment, thanks anon, yeah I use a wet palette but thats the extend of niceties that I use>>97164432Huh, interesting, especially cause this was one of the few times I didnt use any reference or recipe and just freeballed it with my color choice, granted I got more of a magenta to purple to cyan going, pic related prior to doing the base
>>97164442>>97164450There's a nonzero chance that this trend might reverse with the GabeCube. It depends on how well it sells, but if it becomes a big enough player in the console space, RTS devs might (Rightly) abandon the pipe dream of making their games playable on console>>97164450That's cause they generally are. RTS games CAN work on console, but they have to be made with the console in mind first, which means they either have to have a nonstandard format or are going to be generally inferior to one made for the PC and only for the PC.Though CK3 is honestly better than CK2 in my opinion. It might be a bit simpler yes (Despite playing both I can't really say) but it's definitely less... esoteric in some areas, which makes it generally more playable. The added QoL stuff and expansion of a few systems that only really got added late in CK2s lifecycle (or only existed as a mod) also make it a far more enjoyable experience. Not to mention the map size increase.
>>97164432This feels a lot more subdued than the stuff that usually wins golden demon, is the vehicle category chill like that? Don't pay much attention to it usually cause it's more of a 40k/30k category.
>>97164507It's not super unheard of for Golden Daemon winners to be a simple miniature with just borderline flawless execution
>>97164496I drank 6 cups of coffee a day for 10 years and my kidneys are fucked from it. Drink lots of water if you're gonna caffeinemax
>wake up>open thread>it's not a shitshow
>>97164498Nta but I find the key with raw corkbark is to try and tear it apart. The cork sheets suck imo, but you can get some nice chunks with a screwdriver just prying chunks of bark apart. You got that blue really nice and bold btw, I think the indigo really helps pull the pink and purples together
>>97164551It was a late announcement in North America. It will probably blow up tomorrow.
>>97164505>There's a nonzero chance that this trend might reverse with the GabeCube.nahconsoles will stay especially now because the bots bubble is fucking over everyone's pc for the foreseeable future
>>97164551Wait a day, once /v/ gets their initial reactions out of the way they'll be sure to let the rest of us know how they really feel.Besides, there were a few people joking around about the game being tw: aos on twg, so more than likely we'll be getting some >OH NO NO AOSSISTERS WHY DO WE GET NO GAMESposts soon enough. 40kg is going to get the brunt of it though.
>>97164568I mean it is and I do tear it apart, but this was one of the few times I used a very thick different kind of cork and it seems to do better than the thinner softer one I usually pickThanks anon, glad to hear it, it was very fun to paint the skin on this little bugger
People say that Khorne is a timmy army now but aside from them, what else plays like a timmy army? >>97164551I'm thankful that 40k is tanking all of the secondaries, waacfags, autists, and degenerates for us.
>>97164583The bots bubble is ALSO going to fuck up consoles soon. Not sony, they've got a buffer for a bit, but microsoft is gonna get fucked too soon. The only people not getting fucked by the AI garbage is people who already own a good console/PC. Honestly, part of me hopes it continues for a while in the vain hope that it'll cause developers to stop making "Minimum required settings" for games so retarded.
>>97164603Ironjawz traditionally, seraphon depending on your list.
>>97164605They would rather raise prices or make minimalist slop instead of optimising their cinematic shit
>>97164603This is one of my favorite pieces of aos art
>>97164603Am I crazy or do those look like instructions for models
>>97164613Hopefully the gabe cube providing a "baseline" for PC games, the ram shortage, and the ongoing downfall of the AAA industry will cause that and encourage devs to start optomising again.A man can dream
>>97164624You're crazy, but it wouldn't be a bad detail, those demons are already alleged stand-ins for people in a gaming store, hence the dice and someone asking the others to keep quiet.
>>97164666What dice? Legit, I can't find any
>>97164624Neh. It's just oddly geometric runes
>>97164669Open hand of the 2 headed one
>>97164674Oh shit. Those are smaller than I expected. Explains why I didn't notice 'em.
>>97164417Is this yours? Very striking.>>97164505Going to limit the vidya talk to spoilers, but fair enough, I haven't really kept up much with ck3 after the initial launch was very meh. Then again I don't play that much vanilla ck2 anymore either, I mainly play the comfy agot mod nowadays. Maybe I should give 3 another shot.
>>97163809>newfag the animosity is towards people claiming others as their own, not posting models in general, you fucking clown
>>97163862The ai guy doesn't have a 3D printer, can't use blender to correct the terrible output. can't add supports himself, etc. His "creative efforts" are entirely theoretical like all aifags
>>97164846A couple of CK3's best features are locked behind DLCs, but fortunately It's December so you'll only need to wait a few days to be able to get most of them for cheap, and what isn't cheap can be gotten for a bit off in a bundle.Seriously though the roads to power DLC is probably the best DLC paradox has ever put out. Not only since it lets you Byzmaxx, but you can also play as a landless, travelling ruler, which means you can be a mercenary company, a wandering do-gooder, a wandering preacher that can destabilize entire empires by easily flipping counties and characters to your relgion, stoke a peasant uprising and carve out a small kingdom, or a wandering criminal who becomes the lord of all hobos and leads a hobo army to steal an entire kingdom
>>97164666>Guys at the LGS looking at the god tier paintjob on my model (I edge highlighted for the first time ever)
>>97164424>>97164846yeah they're mine, i didn't expect them to be suspect to being someone else's damn. the banner was actuallt very easy: dark metal, light metal drubrush, blend with contrast paint green>blue.
Alarielle has fought a war with the Deepkin at some point in the past. Cool!
>>97165155We had a WD about that. Ents walked along the sea floor and Deepkin ambushers had paranoya about kelp conspiering against them.They even edited some existing Sylvaneth art to make them look underwater serounded by fish
>>97165155>>97165198I think that's an allusion to a plot point from Court of the Blind King. In it the king of one of Briomdar's offshoot enclaves tasks the MC to recover his heirloom spear from a treelord. The spear in question is very old and magical, to the point where just a glance at it makes the MC suspect that Teclis may have personally overseen its creation.
>>97165198THAT SOUNDS FUCKING KINO!Know which WD it was? Would love to check it out.>>97165237I need to read that. I've just avoided it because I'm a huge Deepkin fan and it apparently shits on their lore in a big way.
>>97165155We also have a deepkin city that is allied with underwater sylvaneth
>>97165321>shits on their lore in a big way.I wouldn't say that. It's a little bit incongruent with the battletome descriptions of IDK social structure, but most if not all of it could be read as the local culture rather than generalized across other enclaves.
>>97165336Aye, that was mentioned all the way back in 1st. Shame they dropped the ability to mix the two. Was a cool looking army.
>>97165349I still plan to give it a look, currently reading through Scourge of Fate then I might do Children of Teclis and Court of the Blind King, really dive into Deepkin goodness.
>>97163784>WFB gets End Times and replaced by AOS.>10 Years Later.>WFB gets End Times and replaced by 40k.kek

>>97165386they already got confirmations that they won't stop with total warhammer, neither due to the end times or due to 40k, as long as fantasy dlcs sell and there's shit to make they'll keep making dlcs for it.even ind and kuresh are on the table.
>>97165416JUST GIVE ME TOTAL WAR AGE OF SIGMAR YOU PIGSHAGGING FAGGOTS!!!!!!!
>>97165438I think I'd rather another dawn of war clone from the dawn of war 4 crew at this point, really. Just dont put night haunt or tzeentch in it, ideally.
>>97165378>File nameBruh tf
>>97165438This will happen at some point now they announced End Times for TWW3. Fantasy fags don't care about 40k and they need their own game.
>>97165321It's from #486, the March 2023 issue. No need to track it down, I've got you.
>>97165526
>>97165540
>>97165550
>>97165559
>>97165566Done.
>>97165526>>97165540>>97165550>>97165559>>97165566I wish to swallow your seed, thank you so much!
>>97165540Lmao you can see the white PNG borders for the fish elements they added to that sylvaneth art. Thats beyond lazy and unprofessional.
>>97165610Omg you can haha
>>97165438That's on the table as well, but they have to do some heavy lifting with influencers if they can hope to sway the popular opinion of their existing total warhammer consumerbase.It's not impossible, but I don't think they touch enough grass to consider the approach.
>>97165610They only show up in the WH+ edition. It's often like that in those issues so it's whatever. It's not present in the printed issues.
>>97165628It's a cool piece of photoshop work, and if that error isn't there in the physical version it's ok then. I think the art looks pretty underwater-ised
>>97165610>the aethersea is just background image editing woah

>>97165710>Legends
>>97165710>Legends rules If it's just the heroes, that's fine. At least they killed them before they had a chance. Hopefully Nurgle doesn't get the same treatment.
>>97165710>legends Called it! James is being a roit cunt with grotmas this year. Holy shit this is awful.
>>97165416Yeah but that's not so much CA being generous and more that they have fucking nothing else coming out. They started working on Med 3 like two weeks ago and 40K is pre-alpha with no substantial news coming until late 2026. They've got nothing in the release chamber besides WH3 DLC until 2027 at best.
>>97165710>get to choose to pick what units you want for a regiment I do like this, rather than just being stuck with the whole gang.
>>97165710Lmfao, feel sorry for the friendless fags who infest this place that rely on finding random tards at their FLGS to game with and are thus are unable to use Legends units.
>>97165832I play in my local community and people don't really care if you use legends, considering most legends units suck anyways. (Aside from a few niche cases, Zarbags gitz from underworlds is positively scuffed)
>>97165710inara is an elf posters firmly and definitely btfo
>>97165832>I don't care if this game sucks, modders will make it playable!Same cucked attitude, just because house rules are a thing doesn't mean you should stop expecting James to do his job properly. But hey, at least your wife's boyfriend is chill enough to play AoS with you in between refractory periods :)
>>97165710They snuck a new bit of design space into those: the wizard has a familiar that's actually a manifestation that he brings out automatically, rather than just a normal unit or a token. I gotta wonder if we'll see that used elsewhere, it's a pretty cool idea.
>>97165989>at least your wife's boyfriendProjection but ok.
>>97165995No need to be catty Steve, I'll be done 20 minutes and then we can play some AoS.
>>97166003You have fun picturing other men fucking you're wife, I'm going to be playing AoS with my mates and using these profiles because we're actually friends and not random folk in a LGS screaming "NOOOOO THAT'S LEGENDS YOU CAN'T USE IT NOOOOOO!"
Kurnothi are slowly getting closer to a proper release. We've 2 units and a hero now! It's coming, full release soon!
>>97166016OMG! You can get almost get a 1500 army for Kurnothi now!BelthanosArch-RevenantKelthannorSkaeth’s Wild HuntKurnoth’s Heralds(Reinforced) Kurnoth Hunters with Kurnoth GreatbowsKurnoth Hunters with Kurnoth GreatswordsTOTAL COST= 1430 Points
>>97165710This isn't a Christmas bonus, it's the bare minimum I would expect? Cursed City had them in the fucking box
remind me on what relations arch revenants have with Kurnoth?
>>97166065Grotmas has been pretty shite so far so nothing out of the ordinary.
>>97166067They're said to serve him in the lore but it's a piece of the setting most authors forget.
>>97166057>Arch-RevenantFluff aside it doesn't have the keyword.
>>97166010It's very progressive of you to allow your wife multiple boyfriends, kudos!
>>97166067Alarielle created them in her war aspect for the purpose of commanding them? Kurnothi centaurs and fauns are just isolated kurnous worshippers who have been pushed out of their hidden glaives for whatever reason and found kinship in those who follow the wild hunt, kurnous' song.
>>97166016I'm a little annoyed that Kelthannor doesn't have the CoS keyword same as the rest of the Darkwater heroes. It's not a big deal but could potentially make some rules interactions awkward.
>>97166057OR A 1000+ ARMY!Arch-RevenantKelthannorSkaeth’s Wild HuntKurnoth’s HeraldsKurnoth Hunters with Kurnoth GreatbowsKurnoth Hunters with Kurnoth GreatswordsGossamid ArchersI HAVE ALL OF THIS EXCEPT THE ARCHERS!IT'S HAPPENING!
>>97166072Didn't 40k get some fanfare? Man I just want more mercenary RoR
>>97166099They got some new army detachments and minimal point changes, which I do wish we got that but also Grotmas gave us those last year with some fun RoR and other shit. (Admittedly the army variants were legends and I'm probably misremembering since I think it was white dwarf that did that)
>>97166067They worship him.
>>97166057Spirit of Durthu are Kurnothi? There's fluff for the sons of kurnous who were a trio of them acting as questing knights seeking a way to revive the god
>>97166116Oh that could be a fun addition!
>>97166091>>97166057>>97166016It's nice to see someone actually be excited about AoS these days.
>>97166057LET'S GO
>>97166116Kurnothi are just worshippers of Kurnoth no? You could do a whole Sylvaneth army and just fluff about them being followers of Kurnoth
>>97166167Yeah but that's boring.
>>97166167Yeah, there's already the heartwood glade which is just that
>>97166167Anon wants a furry army, not a woody army. Whether they worship Kurnoth is besides the point.
>>97164286The problem is more him randomly shitflinging about other games/threads about games, which is generally considered to be a bad thing
>>97166067They're like angrier than average and shit
>>97166091Would this army even be any good on the table? If it's fun and you enjoy playing it more power to ya but I feel it'd get the shit kicked outta it easily.
Grotmas gifts little better than coal Fr fr no cap
>>97166225It's probably awful, legend units tend to be weak. 150 for Kelthannos is absurd, for example. But it's probably not so awful it couldn't work in a casual setting, kurnoth hunters are good units that can brawl decently with tougher stuff and you get some fast stuff to run around and skirmish.
I like the idea of symbiotic nature sylvaneth has. Not to big a fan of it with the bugs though. It’s fine in moderation but I draw the line at backpacks personally.
It's looking good lads, looking damn good!
>>97166314Alarielle requisitioning flight pack bugs from the king of magical bugs to build a paratrooper force is actually super interesting and looks very rad.
>>97166314Yeah the archers look a bit weird I agree. I like all the others though, Belthanos' one looks especially cool imo
>>97166314We actually need the murrey eel guy from Davy Jones crew, but the rock is a tree stump and the fish is a centipade
What are you guys working on?I'm chipping away at my BoK army and currently on my "free" herald from the skullcannon kit.I just waiting for the GS to solidify and I'll add some better transitions from hair to skull and hanging out the other side of his fist.He seems like a massive force multiplier (+1 to hit) for my 20 stack of bloodletters, and honestly considering a second one, 2 sets of 20xBL plus a herald sounds scary
>>97166452>What are you guys working on?Posted last thread but my Maggotkin for AoS and my Lothlorien for MESBG + the Spearhead terrain
>>97166452>What are you guys working on?assembling Lauka and Ushoranalmost done with her then its HIS turn
>>97166452I’ll probably be able to finish my Ikon tonight just in time for the RTT tomorrow.
>>97166340kurnothi should be elf/animal hybrids if the alarielle part of sylvaneth are elf/tree hybrids.But don't just make it deer, make it owls and boars and panthers or whatever the fuck.We will drag beastmen back into aos kicking and screaming.
>>97165128I didn't mean it in an offensive way anon, they're so good that they could be a picture on the Warhammer page. I post minis that inspire me, too, not just ones I own. Everyone likes eye candy. But yes, that looks good enough to be on warcom or something imo. I'm also a bit of a snob when it comes to contrast so it's probably a good thing for me to get btfo'd. I thought it was contrast but didn't believe it could come out that nice, which is why I was curious about how you did it.
>>97165610Maybe it's a mimefish and that's it's invisible barrier
>>97166452You got some nice textures in the greenstuff skull flail... It wouldn't make any goddamn sense but you could also try to make the flail made of three skulls bound together by a rope made of muscle or sinew. Makes no goddamn sense, super on theme for Khorne, a pairing like PB n J
>>97165710>reeee im just mad they're legends>play with your friends >uh- haha ur g-gay haha>Why did you buy a boardgame with no friends to play it>u-uh.... c-cuck....As per usual. The people most incapable of talking to human beings are the ones doing the most complaining. Many such cases
>>97165994I could see like manifested soldiers as an entourage to a powerful wizard where if you can geek the mage his troopers die too.
Kinda wish the Kurnothi had the Cities keyword too, because I'd take him + Elthwin's Thorns for a nice !living city list
>>97166789>a nice !living city listSeriously I wanna know how the reasoning went in the development of CoS over the past few years that made it so the army can't mix in units from other armies.
How are you guys? Was the Seraphon book any good?
>>97166878>How are you guys?I'm unemployed, I have a hemorrhoid problem and a busted sleep schedule. Besides that it's mostly fine.>Was the Seraphon book any good?Yeah it was alright.
>>97166878Slightly woke due to exploring "Muh lIZaRdS DoN't HaVe GenDeR CoNcEpTs" so it strays into tranny pronoun shite a little but for the most part it's fine, not good but fine. Glad I got it for free, let's just say.

>>97167785and thank fucking god, this general would become as bad as /40kg/
>>97167802>>97167785It's pretty bad in there right now, but I was fully expecting worse. I feel like /tg/ has blown up way worse over smaller 40k releases
>>97167841I mean they only announced the game, true hell will begin when it's released and secondaries swarm this board
>>97167854I dunno. Rts isn't a popular genre. Warhammer is doing pretty well rn, but I don't think that's going to make people suddenly excited to play rts games. It won't ever be that bad until they release a movie or TV show that people can consume the whole thing in one sitting. That will be when it's truly bad
>>97167927Warhammer isn’t as mainstream as people think it is yet. 40k was the 1000 point question on Jeopardy the other night and no one got remotely close to it despite the answer essentially being in the question.
>>97166789>>97166872The freakshit would look out of place in a CoS army. Like putting Night Elves in the Canterbury Tales. They would detract from the rustic charm and human struggle that's at the heart of the faction's identity.
>>97168001If it isn't on netflix and you don't play video games then you probably don't know that a franchise exists. Nerd hobbies can get popular, but even things like magic the gathering haven't hit the true mainstream normie crowd despite all their newer products being tailored for them. Like my dad is a fucking huge nerd, had us playing doom and ut2003 as kids, and loved lotr and star trek and hard scifi novels like ringworld and dragons egg. But even he has no understanding or knowledge about magic the gathering outside him buying me a couple packs when I was really little, and me mentioning it when I was heading over to friends places to play. He still plays video games to this day(he's been trying to play bloodborne blind since it released on ps4 lmao) and I think I'd likely have to remind him what warhammer is even though he was the one who bought me battle for macragge like 20 years ago when I was little.
>>97166452Doing repairs and cleanup on my slaanesh guys. Just checked the seeker-archers and gonna need to try to rearrange how this fucker built this and clean off shitty glue jobs. Offloading some extras for super cheap to a local Slaanesh guy who is very happy to get more stuff, should hopefully have everything ready for priming by the end of the month if my last trade goes through and glutos shows up!
>>97167841I mean seems like as it happened all the shitposters have moved over there. It unironically feels like shitposters were hedging their bets on Total War: AOS and have fucked off to 40kg instead.
>>97168161I think it's more likely that the person who been doing the majority of the shitstirring here is doing so because their game had no releases to shitpost about. Now that there is big news for a thread that's both more active and more likely to have tourists joining that don't recognize a shitpost makes 40kg an easy target rn.
>>97166693you're fine, i escaped 40k for aos so maybe i'm just used to getting terrible replies. I just dont really know how to explain painting. I've been doing it for so long that i actually think im mediocre. The backdrop does a lot though
>>97168242Anon like half of all the posts in /40kg/ for the past couple weeks are just them milking their lolcow. I don't think you could fit much more shitposting there even if you wanted to
>>97166452I’ve only really just started him, I really honk the fomoroid is a really cool model, not sure how often he’ll make his way into my list though
>>97168315I think you did a good job man, also AOS/g/ is typiclaly pretty chill. Was a bit rough there for a week but things are back to being the usual relatively slow and quiet thread. (Which is fine)
How good is the Tzeentch spearhead?It looks kinda ass at first sight
>>97164417Based
>>97168330There's always room for worse posts trust me. It is very bad in there, don't get me wrong. I definitely wasn't trying to imply that 40kg has been a peach up until now
>>97167290Here anon has enhancements and stuffhttps://gofile.io/d/GtsCwK
>>97165710>legends immediately>the wizard is shit>regiment rules are shitThey're dead set on moving as few copies of darkwater as possible.
>>97168524Excellent.
>>97166452Finishing my fire and jade terrain and this tree. While trying to figure out what scheme I wanna go for with my helsmiths. Thinking a red and gold with green fire like blood elves from wow. But that's also pretty gay. So idk man
>>97168364Like as a Spearhead? It's alright. It's made of glass but that's just tzeentch in general. You can mitigate thar somewhat if you can utilize transient forms. It's got several fast flying units with the magisterial and screamers, and if you can keep those alive till turn 3 or 4 that can be game winning, late game movement is massive for objectives and scoring when there's little left on the board to contest. also its got 20 shooting attacks and a mortal damage endless spell which is a ton for spearhead, and just a shitload of bodies in general which makes it great on objectives. Also demonheart and timeslip pendant can both be game winning if used rightCrazy that they still get 9 destiny dice too despite the smaller shorter format
>>97168645Mortal damage spell*Not endless. Idk where that came fromOh and don't forget the screamers do some mortal damage too. In a game mode where both sides have on average like 15 to 20 models, mortal damage is huge in spearhead

>>97168848Don't worry about it.
>>97168744>>97168826Thanks, anons. I really could’ve used those new purple Vallejo metallics back then. They look spot on for what I wanted and it would’ve saved me the trouble of mixing up several paints.
>>97168922wait there's a purple metal vallejo? Tell me more.
>>97168900Trail of lava would be hilarious on some Gitmob chariots.
>>97168924They’ve got a whole new range of metals coming out. Stahly’s reviewed them and they rated highly. They look very nice even beyond the bit of shilling people do and one of my friends has already started using them with good results.Here’s Juan Hidalgo demonstrating them:https://youtu.be/fFoqu_AOSAgPurple is around 6:30 or so.
>>97168353It's definitely back to being comfy. Also some nice models being shared that I haven't seen before.>>97168900Cheers, I can't open the doc, are there more prayers or only aqshy/ghyran flavoured ones?
>>97168954I feel bad I got nothing to show that's new BUT I'm about to do a game of my SOB (and drop off some minis to the guy I'm playing against) so we'll see how that goes.
>>97168954The Aqshy ones are from Ravaged Coast, which is a different book altogether and is not available through the link above.
>>97168887>there's still a massive jump from that to true, 'average stranger on the street will know what you're talking about'Absolutely. Especially these days where a lot of our lives and social media are so compartmentalized to feed us the stuff we like, so we see a lot less new things as a result. >>97168887>It's pretty insane how roughly 50% of any given 40kg thread revolves around one guy.Tbf he injects himself into conversations and then tries to turn them to conversations about himself so he can then claim everyones attacking him. People need to learn to ignore him but he is harder to ignore than your average shitstirrer
>>97169037Someone added it up and he had like 150 posts in 40kg yesterday alone, and those are just the ones he was actually logged in on his trip for, not the ones he also False flags with trip offThe dudes psycho, like actual narcissism disorder.
>>97169055250 posts in under 24 hours actually, somebody checked the archive for it lmao
>>97169055>>97169068Maybe it's a couple different people using the same trip? Like holy fuck that's just sad for a single autist even by 4chan standards
>>97169086I doubt anybody can stand being around him enough that he'd be able to share the trip info with themWe're talking about a guy who stages his own two armies against each other in mock games so he can take pics and pretend he has friends on 4chan
>>97161473The wretched retard Alan (No) Merritt is key to all this, a stupid, vain, petty arsehole incapable of creativity. Stuck watching the studio go from strength to strength while he's doing whatever boring shit he was barely fit for. But he bided his time and eventually he was able to call the shots, and his big idea? Annihilate the companies' foundational setting out of sheer spite and replace it with a dreadful warcraft/gatcha mash-up, Fail of Deadgame.But luckily, there's something deeply wrong with some of the losers who've been attracted to the hobby, they have this flaw where they will do literally whatever a corporation tells them to, and they sat on the internet for years pretending that your abortion of a setting and failure of a game was successful while for the first time we had real sales numbers from outside GW for just how popular Warhammer was, and even better, just how popular Gays of Smegma isn't.And then one day you get fired, but the repulsive shills, all two of them keep forging on until, at last, they 41% themselves in a tranny suicide pact and there's no one left to pretend anyone ever liked AIDS of Shitmar
>>97168950Shit those reds look fucking perfect for Helsmiths. Tempted, very tempted...
>>97169101>We're talking about a guy who stages his own two armies against each other in mock games so he can take pics and pretend he has friends on 4chanOMG I need proof of that if it's true lmfao
>>97169101That's funny, wfg had a similar boogeyman. They complained about him in here once.
>>97169144Perryanon? I remember him, I still loathe him. He posted his own dick in a thread once lmfao
>>97169190Yeah I think that's the guy. Would have historical armies, and set them up in dioramas, and then claim they were fantasy games, something like that. He came over here to sperg out about ...something, got clocked, and some anons gave us the qrd on him. Is he still around?
>>97169204I've no idea if he's still skulking about. I just remember the time he posted a pic of a model he was painting, wasn't wearing pants and had his meat and veg with bush on show in the background lmao Deleted the picture and got furious when anyone brought it up again
>>97169190Is that the retard who would ask you to post physique if you asked for him to post models
>>97169132Ask the decalstorians in 40kg. They've got all the caps because he is in a constant state of trying to rewrite history. He frequently will claim he's never done something he posted earlier in the thread in order to make discussion switch to being about him again. Most of the sensible people have him filtered but my heart goes out to the mobileposters
>>97169217Nta but yeah it was.>>97169213I think you can still find that pic in the archive, someone probably has it saved somewhere
>>97169217Yes lmao

>>97169217I just remembered that one shitposter with the high elf mage model and the really tall shelf or whatever that made him look like a manlet.
>>97169238That's part of what made the whole thing so amazingly bizarre haha
>>97168959It begins, he brought STD, Be'lakor and Abraxia vs fats mcgee and the retard 3.
>>97169379Damn, that's one hell of a monster mash. Let us know how it goes garganon.

>>97169421>>97169542It's been a massive moshpit in the center, he's got lots of heavy hitters. Poor fucking warstomper is dead but I took out his chosen, he placed the purple sun poorly so his whole middle force has -1 save and I'm hopefully gonna roll good enough to kill his horse champ and 2 varanguard.I didn't realize std output so much damage jesus christ. I'm also rusty as hell but having fun even though I am guaranteed to lose by points. (Unless I table his shit in this attack)
>>97164442>ca had said that all their future titles were going to be for consoles as well one week ago
>>97169919Anon I know they're gargants but did you technically paint an entire army in a week
Trying out some different stuff on the unit of fanatics. I think I've settled in on red and gray armor and clothing, blue mushroom and effects, rare yellow highlights for bad moon iconography. Gonna get these two and the other squig hopper wrapped up and then I can try out some basing ideas.
>>97161473Building my skryre warpswarmShould I build both kits of stormvermin with champions and banners and musicians or just one with those and standard stormvermin for the other 10
>>97169919So we were doing the map where people get sucked into portals on objectives and he tried to lock me out, turns out the objective I had syngergized and I slapped my guys in the corners and held on for dear life.Was a lot of fun we were both pretty baffled with how the whole thing turned out but my boys held their points and whiped out half his army. Somehow I bumblefucked my way to victory!>>97170101They're from over the past few years, I swear they look decent!
>>97170379Apologies for picture quality but honestly pretty neat, I hadn't played with the new GHB yet and didn't expect to like the gimmicky map but we both enjoyed ourselves. Was neat seeing how much damage slaves could pop out, his chosen nearly killed my gatecrasher in 1 turn, the whole scramble in the middle worked out since he figured he'd teleport all my dudes away but it kinda worked out since he couldn't really cap the objectives or move fast enough to get to the edges to stop me from scoring my shit.I expected a big brawl in the middle until one of us died but wound up actually winning with objectives.
>>97170379Wasn't meant as an insult, someone posted a SoB army last week and it wasn't painted so I wanted to congratulate you if you got it done so fast
>>97170512ohhhh I getcha, nah I've been workin on these for awhile. Different SOB army haha, I've had these guys around for a bit. (I'm the guy who also has the ghoul army, posted my Ushoran around a few times)
>>97164442>>97170037>new 40k rts is going to be on consoleshit's going to die as fast as Halo Wars did. Still wish GW would realize AoS and specifically stormcast fit a soulslike game perfectly and they should do that. The only problem is GW doesn't have good ideas, and there are no western devs that make good soulslikes. Even then, I think a Lords of the Fallen game reskinned with AoS stuff would do good.
i know>black librarybut is star seers ruin at least a decent enough read?
>>97170860They just need to reskin Hades for a Stormcast that can even have different weapons. Maybe he's blessed with greatly reduced reforging loss to justify dying so often. You can easily have different environments and enemies.
>>97170864Yeah, the sort of tie-in short story was great and Adrian Tchaikovsky is a very good author who has particular talent dealing with non-human perspectives in his own writing. It's kind of surprising GW didn't push it more, given it was written by a guy who is sort of prominent, he's not a nobody or someone who's really written much franchise work before
>>97168848Soul of the Realm of Ghyran. They are literally praying to the Realm to get miracles. The Ravaged Coast has a lore excerpt where a DoK decides to worship Aqshy instead of Morathi
Question for the anonsWhats the consensus on the darkwater book to playmat thing? Is it bad and comes apart, or does it stay nice and flat?
Two test fanatics nearly done
Odds we're getting some grotmas RoR's later this month? The 40k detachments have been the higlight of the whole thing so far.
>>97171301Also really curious about how this turns out. I think hardcover is a strange choice. Spiral binding feels way more functional imo. I do think this is a really cool idea if it's done well. A core set for something like spearhead or warcry, with a handful of small terrain pieces that fit alongside every single battlemat in a big book would be really sick. You can buy big battlemat book for rpgs, but they aren't designed with a single terrain style in mind, but a first party warhammer one built to go alongside all of their terrain would be a lot of fun. Maybe add back aos2 style realm rules and artifacts for spearhead, and have a mat for every single realm. Like I said it's a really exciting idea to me if it's nice
Why haven't you taken the Aelf pill yet anon?
>>97171554I FUCKING love the Blood Stalker/Sister kit. It's what made me play DoK.

Then maybe dok or oops all spites sylvaneth done in spooky human skintones with lots of gore. So to answer your question, I have a problem.

>>97171588SexcowMorathiAlarielleMathaelaThe elf from cursed city
>>97171608It's an old army that I stripped like a dumbass and need to repaint now. I've been putting it off cause it feels kinda bittersweet. They looked like utter ass before but they were some of my first models, I really don't know why I didn't just pick up another army. I think it was cause I was still excited about lizards but bummed out about how they looked. But I wanna get them done just to have them painted again.

I fucking hate 3 or 5 man squads, having 2 models be a musician or standard bearer looks so bad in such a small squad.i love tree revenants but they should have come in a 10 man unit
>>97171667>DoKProbably banned due to monstergirl porn. Cowards.
>>97171667Spam bots for betting ads, the same happened in the OBR sub
>>97171648>t.>>97171667Usually it's because the place is left without moderation, at which point the subs gets flooded with spam bots and the jannies close it down. I can see a niche army like DoK being vulnerable to this. I think the obr one also got whacked like that.
>>97168050>He hasn't read it
>Accidentally ordered windchargers for my Lumineth instead of DawnridersFuck, expensive mistake. Now i need to send em back
I seriously need to start working on my DoK Spearhead. Buddy of mine has the Lumineth Spearhead and we're ready to get in some of that lovely Dark Elf/High Elf rivalry, I'm just intimated by the models. The Witch Elves seem super fragile in terms of poses and painting the snakes is going to be fun but challenging.
>>97171667They finally beat the Reddit alogations. 4chan army
Does AoS have any conspiracies? I remember rumours of Nagash's corpse in lake lethis but that seems to have disappeared. None of the new BL works have Reynolds's penchant for subtle world building so it all feels a little soulless. Like Grombrindal in Realmslayer being something you could read into the character before they just came out and said it several times thereafter.
>>97171716Scales are usually pretty fun and easy to paint, but yes DoK looks pretty challenging on the whole to me. Good luck anon.
>>97171716I prefer unity between the two, like in Godsbane or Children of Teclis. If we ever get an AoR for a combination I'll jump on them, like the End Times Helf-Delf lists. I'd love to see Malerion and Teclis in union declare war on their cunt relatives.
>>97171758>End Times Helf-Delf listsI WOULD KILL FOR THAT!I never played WFB but I always wanted a Host of the Eternity King army. Welves, Delves and Helves working side by side, despite loathing each other, against a common foe for the survival of their race is something I love.Same reason I adore the Ynnari in 40k (although they've been forgotten and neglected ever since the Gather Storm). I love seeing the various aesthetics together on the table.
>>97171765>>97171758Play 1st Ed, choose your Grand Alliance Order as your Allegiance and you can take units from whatever factions you want in your army at the cost of much worse artefacts and Allegiance abilities. To make a Wood Elf, High Elf and Dark Elf army combine Dok, Wanderers, Swifthawk Agents, Lion Rangers, Order Draconis, Phoenix Temple, Sylvaneth, Darkling Covens, Scourge Privateers, Shadowblades, Eldritch Council and the Order Serpentis.I've done in a few times, it's really fucking fun. Once had a Wanderer/Order Serpentis/Phoenix Temple army fight the Ironjawz in a battle that had my Dreadlord on Black Dragon dueling the Warboss on Mawcrusha for 3 turns. A duel he won, I might add!
>>97171744>Does AoS have any conspiraciesonly obviously wrong ones like the realms being round and malerion, or various other things, not existingthe nature of the realm and what's the truth with hashur are perhaps the most interesting mysteries as of now
>>97171744>I remember rumours of Nagash's corpse in lake lethisFake Empire News!
>>97171744I assume you mean fluff conspiracies and not stuff like "kragnos was meant to be a beast of chaos before gw squatted them from the setting"? A while ago some anon pointed out that teclis' existence in aos is kind of sketchy. Tyrion wakes up alone in the realm of light (presumably because he was hysh' incarnate in the end times). He wanders around for a while, and eventually makes it to the realms' edge, stares into said edge until his eyes melt in his skull, blacks out, wakea up again, except now teclis is there.I like the idea that teclis is a hallucination given form, or maybe a reflection of tyrion. He's very much associated with the moon after all, which of course doesn't make its own light, just reflects that of the sun (tyrion). To be clear I don't think this is actually all that likely, gw doesn't have the balls for it, but I think it's fun to think about.Similarily, there was a line in one of the early helsmiths fluff articles that kind of implied (current) Hashut isn't necessarily who he says he is.
>>97171800I'd have an easier time convincing people to play PtG or Warcry. 2nd edition is preferable too. The app is easier to use rather than sourcing old books and GA/allies exist.
>>97171820I feel embarrassed for you
>>97171822The people I play with still swap between 1st and 2nd so I get to play a AoS-ified Host of the Eternty King every now and then and it's great craic.

It won't be until either battletome comes out before you get a RoR to merge DoK and LRL Merry Grotmas! Hope you weren't expecting rules for AoS!
>>97171896Technically we got soggy rules for chorfs but yes some more substantial stuff would be nice
