>>97274252>TQI'd like to see them rush the final dozen battletomes out so they can see some play in the last year before 5th edition is rolled out.
>TQJust hoping for a new tzeentch spearhead that doesn’t suck ass so I can play something chaos related.
>>97274282>inb4 jade obelisk & flamers
>>97274282i haven't checked in a while, but khorne is the only chaos faction out of the big four (sorry great horned rat) that has more than one spearhead, right? i'm kinda baffled by that considering how chaos is always the favorite baby of GW barring marines
>>97274294Obelisks at least look cool, I don’t really wanna see demons in it at all.
>>97274282>spearheadbefore it gets discontinued?
I pray for my Tzeentch nibbas itt that they actually see some refreshes in this new year
>>97274299khorne is the only faction that has a battletome out and that's where your second spearhead comes from, apart from the weird sand and bone one-offs
>>97274299Nurgle has a spearhead with plaguebearers and flies, and has a new one coming out with Rotmire Creed, sorceror, and beasts of Nurgle.>TQLike someone else said, I want them to hurry up and get 5e over with. I genuinely like the core rules and what a good job they did eliminating the need to try to interpret rules as hoc. However, they're locked into this bland d3 mortals on every ability. They can't stop doing it now because they'll power creep the editions. So I want them to be finished with it and maybe next edition will have more interesting stuff, like better soups, armies with more listbuilding options instead of just straight up (key) word association, and of course, warscrolls with interesting effects.
>>97274280I think one of the tga leakers said all the tomes will be released in 2026. So about a tome a month. I think that's standard procedure anyway, all the 40k codexes are already out right?>>97274299Nope, khorne doesn't have their old one anymore. So if you don't like flesh hounds you're shit out of luck. Strange decision. Though I guess there's two other khorne boxes you can buy from gw, one of which has basically half the old spearhead includes in it.>>97274306The way things are going right now aos proper is in more danger than spearhead
>>97274386Hypothetically, yes, we should get 1 a month; however, 40k 11th is expected to drop around June, so that could fuck everything up.
>>97274294Jade obelisk shits on kairic acolytes, so if I could get those in a combo box at a discount I'd be all over it. >>97274299Nurgle is about to get their second one, though it's kind of shit. Because of the battletome release as the other anon said. Hopefully we can get some decent ones for tzeentch and slaanesh, but I don't have high hopes that it will be anything but tzaangors and deamonnetes again.
>>97274400They could always just do more than 1 a month.
>>97274475I kinda think they will just shit out multiple poorly thought-out battletomes a month to make sure they get everything out. I'm not expecting a better than 50% hit to shit ratio.
Any guesses on the next slannesh spearhead contents?They don't have a warcry warband and their underworlds rep is just three daemonettes
>>97274400Yeah I meant on average, we'll probably get a month with dual releases like ghouls and ghosts this year. That being said it's not like everything else just drops totally (just mostly). I think part of the seraphon refresh got released during 40k's 10th edition launch, and I mean that's a pretty popular army too. But yeah things will probably slow down a bit for us around then. Plus there's shizo rumours floating around of a tow 1.5 launch box supposedly releasing in the summer too, but if you ask me that sounds like financial suicide, especially given the rumoured factions.
>>97274576They've got a reasonably varied range. Something like fiends, painbringers/twinsouls, daemonettes, foot hero. Feels a little bit light, maybe they throw in a wildcard like the mirror or chariot instead of just a foot hero, or maybe an underworlds warband pulled from legends, who knows.
How do I start Sylvaneth?
>>97274715If you wanted to do daemon focused one then turning that trio into a generic unit like the sunblood would work fine, throwing in daemonettes and fiends/the mirror/the enraptress would work fine without throwing in too many old kits.Otherwise painbringer/lord of hubris/their mortal UW warband + painbringers/twinsouls and like, the enraptress/mirror/chariot would work easy for something leaning into a more sadistic/killy aesthetic for them
Happy New Year from 40kg fellas
>>97274892happy new year back
>>97274843Print awakened wyldwoods.
>>97274843Sculpt awakened wildwoodsProgress from that to sculpt treelords
>>97274843Probably spearhead. Except instead of getting the spearhead box you go to https://www.hachettecollections.com and get the relevant kits for the sylvaneth spearhead. FYI you'll need to buy kurnoth seperately and spirit of durthu comes in two kits but you still save like 50 bucks. You can also get the spite revenants and the arch revenant at a serious discount on there. In my brief look at deciding if I wanted to play sylvaneth, I realized a lot of people sell entire lots of them on facebook marketplace and ebay, so finding stuff second hand at a discount shouldn't be too hard.
Happy new year lads. Hope you have good games, good painting sessions, and good times in the hobby for 2026. Love yall.
