>get up in the morning to be in the GW store at opening hours>they run out of crow knight yesterday
>>97248359>TQ (TE?)I don't think gw would be evil enough to put endless spells in a spearhead/start collecting just yet, but it'd be unique at least.>>97248377damn, already? I thought it was also supposed to go on MTO at least
>>97248387>I thought it was also supposed to go on MTO at leastApparently a month from now
>>97248359>TEKruleboyz:Mirebrute (general)Slittaboss Slittaz x2Monsta-killazMonster catching theme.Not much room with current KB range
>>97248414I assume with slittaz x2 you mean split the 20 man unit into 2 groups of 10? otherwise the discount starts to go up higher than gw is probably comfortable with.I guess yeah it's about as good as you can do with the current KB range if you don't want to double up on units. I don't think this would be the most exciting box though, especially with hobgrots dirt cheap on the secondary market. Slittaboss is also kind of shitty value, can you believe that thing is about 60% of the price of the mirebrute? Character tax getting out of hand. I'd probably throw in the shaman instead of the boss even though the latter makes more sense with hobgrots. Actually, maybe a sloggoth instead?
MERRY CHRISTMAS ONCE AGAINPost minis/WIPs/projects/wishes/whatever, let's see dem models
This is basically the Seraphon spearhead (1 Slud= 1 Carno, 1 Slog= 3 Krox, 20 Hob= 10Saur), surely they'd allow it
>>97248359>TQ4 sharks and an Eidolon of Storms called Sharknado
>>97248523Perfect Battleforce
>>97248359The dream would be:Warsong RevenantGossamid ArchersRevenant SeekersSpiterider Lancers
>>97248359Presuming they gave the Cogsmith synergy with Ironweld back
>>97248500Slittaz are a 10man unit but I get why you thought otherwise>>97248500I could see this + swampcalla being released as a spearhead but that would be a high end box, might be too good value.Alternatively, keep the swampcalla and swap snatchaboss for the kunnin' krew
Spearheads have totally self contained rules unrelated to the larger faction, right?What stops GW from making rules for mixed army Spears as a WD suplement or something?
>>97248541they're sold in boxes of 20, and GW usually parses things out by box quantity rather than in game usage. the contents of a spearhead are decided by sales units in their retail catalogueif you watch the designer of spearhead has a channel over on youtube, he talked about how the spearhead design team was given the spearheads already chosen by the product development team before any rules were written. model design and packaging comes before rules in the pipeline, and the rules team has no input on the contents of a box
>>97248516This would be pretty shitty value, because while all the rest of the mentioned units are around the 50 yuro mark, the carno is like 50% pricier. This SH would only have like a 30 euro discount, so about 20% which isn't that good. Like some anon mentioned earlier hobgrots are cheap as fuck on ebay and the like due to dominion. I think they'd at least throw in an extra character, or the warcry warband. Maybe make one of their underworlds squads a full unit like they did for seraphon or ogres.>>97248529For similar reasons this one would be a bit too expensive. Replace one of the bug rider kits with an arch revenant or something and you're more in line with gw's pricing, though it'd still be one of the better boxes.
I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas as wellI spent my Christmas money on what we’d call a Schnapsidee here in Germany. I ordered the Deathrattle Army Set and the Skelly Spearhead to start a skeleton-only army. I’ve read and heard that it’s not exactly great, but I just love the idea of lots of skellies, it makes me happy.Do you have any ideas for bases? The last thing I did for my Orruks was this basalt pillar style, pic related.
>>97248562Do you have any larger idea for the skeletons? Frozen lake would be cool base if you want to make them seasonal
>>97248550Yeah, it comes from 3rd edition where GW were a little relaxed on model count, 5 Ardboys for example, so they went with the bare minimum regardless of the logic and planned to sell Hobgrots as 10 in the starter boxes post Dominion which mandated the smaller unit size too Idk why it hasn't been changed but GW are stuck in their ways and it's punishing in an edition where you can only take so many units in so many regiments without disadvantages
>>97248550I had to check because I have never seen that box. I wonder if they have better poses than dominion slittaz, just like normal gutrippaz have
>>97248579These ones
>>97248581Same sprues just like Clanrats in Skaventide
>>97248359>>Thread Exercise:>Let's try to come up with a new (realistic) spearhead box for /yourguys/these are all the boxes lizardmen ever got (that contained only plastic and weren't vs boxsets)
>>97248500>Character tax getting out of handIt's insane yeah. That's why underworlds warbands are so nice, it's basically an entire command squad for the price of a single character (+ whatever underworlds cards you get). Instead of the slittaboss you can just pick up the kunnin krew and get a slittaboss that way, plus a shaman and killaboss (and their respective grot tokens). That is if the box is still in production ofc. They're also obviously not really customizable but honestly neither are most of the characters that come out now.>>97248562Damn anon, the basalt looks really cool. Whole mini is great.
>>97248598these are the plastic kits that never got featured into a bundle box
>>97248552>an arch revenantThat'd be nice but it has frustratingly poor regiment options in the main game.
>>97248577non at all. pretty basic desu. Basic Rust for the Armor with that Dirty Down stuff and a silver drybrush. Maybe Black or Dark Ocean Blue for Cloth, Whitish Bones. But thats it. I thought about getting a cheap flocking device from Amazon and just put them in lush, grassy fields of green with an skull or some mushrooms or a stone here and there.>>97248601thank you!
>>97248603Scar vet on aggradon+ 3 lancers seems like such an obvious start to a spearhead
Why can't vampire-led regiments include a necromancer the way they can include a deathrattle overseer/vyrkos retainer?
>>97248638No.
Dump the Maggotkin fluff. We've all seen the rules so give us the rest.
>>97248661Marakar asked Archaon to get her a beast of Nurgle nad it pissed on the carpet in the Varanspire livingroom
>>97248661>He thinks leakers care about the fluff lmao
>>97248598Skink start collecting would be a decent spearhead honestly (maybe with an extra foot character), man we don't know know how good we had it.>>97248638Honorary member of the sylvaneth battleforce club
>>97248698the next sylvaneth battleforce is just gonna be 4 drychas
>>97248562Happy HollidaysI got Old ogre Ninja Maneater(it's even metal, feels weird putting it on round base) and Vargulff Courtier the assembly was Über inintiuitive but I guess its ok. Suprised how large Maneater is.
>>97248506pwease..............
>>97248745my current WIP is trying to rip all my fucking blightkings off their god damn bases because matt rose and his team are a buncha cunts
New player hereHow good the game is at 1k points? My lgs doesnt play at 2k
>>97248359Trophy Finga Ladz1x Snatchaboss on sludgeraker (warlord)2x marshcrawla sloggoth1x monsta killaz
>>97248752its playable but a bad apple or two using some cheesy shit can kinda fuck it upif your FLGS wants to just play small format, spearhead is roughly 750pts size and much better to play than 1k games. downside is your unit selection is limited, but the game itself is more fun and balanced.as long as your local players are good sports though, 1k can work alright. the problem is when someone starts bringing a zombie dragon or frost lord or mawkrusha or some other such nonsense and just pancakes armies with a 400+pt warlord
>>97248759>2x of a buffing unit the army usually doesnt even want 1 ofabsolutely cursed spearhead
>>97248506Have an old thing
>>97248638Based Robba Baron
>>97248768Replace them with 2x of New Kit when kruleboyz get one so like in 3 editions
>>97248778its still crazy to me that kruleboyz have 5 different cavalry heroes and a cavalry buff piece but no cavalry unitsit really felt like a lumineth situation where the army was chopped up haphazardly into 2 nonsensical waves, but its been an edition and a half and the second wave never materialized
>>97248785Like boyz on those slimy ass muck hounds just makes sense
>>97248785Because they didn't sell well.LRL DID sell well
>>97248792lol they dont wait to see sales figures before beginning the 5 year process of designing the ssecond half of the army. LRL was all designed at the same time, just split up to milk multiple release cycles and sell more books.
>>97248506Finishing another unit of Gutrippaz
>>97248549>Spearheads have totally self contained rules unrelated to the larger faction, right?If you mean in the sense that spearhead rules don't impact Bigmar then yeah, but the way spearheads play is usually fairly close to the normal armies.White dwarf spearheads would be cool, don't think they've done any of those no?>>97248759Based and sloggoth pilled.
>>97248359>>97248638if gw weren't retarded and used spearheads and regiments of renown better we could have ones that mix units from different armies
I regret not grabbing Starseer's book and now I have to wait 10 months for paperback
>>97248933>spearhead about recycling the dead of the enemy into their three components: bones, souls and flesh
>>97248506Merry Christmas!Finished this lady on Tuesday, I’m gonna see about photographing her and my Ikon properly in the light box today.
>>97248506>>97248978>forgot my image It’s ogre.
>>97248933Spearheads were supposed to be that for AoS proper: buy a Spearhead and use it as a RoR for another army. I do feel like if it persists as a gamemode they will have to be more flexible but I expect it'll just replace Warcry as a mode for model releases detached from battletomes - hence it including warcry and UW units now, as a primer for upcoming exclusivity of new kits. We should have like here's an Ironjawz Spearhead with 6 Gluttons or something though
>>97248933>>97248943Half the point of spearhead is to be a start collecting box, doesn't really work if it's a mix. I can see them putting some of these ideas in a white dwarf article or something, essentially 'legends' spearheads.
>>97248990and half of the point of bundles and regiments is to entice people to collect other armies, and yet gw designs the spearheads as genuine traps and restricts alliances as much as possiblegw is simply wrong with how it's handling stuff
>>97248766>400+ pt warlordStonehorn and Mawkrusha are both 330 points which is well within the realm of acceptable at 1k points. I have played against VLOZD in 1k point games and it's ok too. Mega gargants are where it starts to become unreasonable.
>>97248990GW doesn't have to sell a dedicated box to give Spearhead rules to a groupe of models
>>97249027WE without the only unit he can buff is a bit oddI'd rather have an arch-warlock in there
>>97248933>that mix units from different armiesWhy not push it further and make it units from different games?
>>97249212no
>>97249212Souls grinders are so fucking ugly man holy shit. I know there's at least one guy in here that really likes them and I'm sorry, we all have our vices, but damn that thing is hard to look at.
>>97249212I'm the #1 Vashtorr fanboy here and not even I would want thatLeave him in 40k with maybe one singular allusion to a patron of steel and smoke aiding a daemon prince or something in AoS>>97249277It is an ugly kit. I mostly like it for the concept and what it represents more than the looks. I'm giving mine a different head.
>>97249348A cheeky reference would be nice, but it shouldn't go further than that I agree. Besides, does that guy even actually do anything in 40kay? Or is like those death cult elves that were big in 8th and then got promptly thrown in the trash
