>>97324541no more nothingburgers until morale improves
Messing with skin on this troggoth
GW, GIVE ME KURNOTHI YOU KEKS!
>>97324642This but the opposite.
>>97324646!SKEK UOY IHTONRUK EM EVIG, WG
>>97324702Beautiful lol
>>97324642>>97324646>>97324702kek>KURNOTHI vs IHTONRUKwho wins?
>>97324702
Im putzing a little more work in tomorrow. FEC are really neat I have to say.
>>97324541>tqWith CoS and Ogres, I think so. Plus we got whatever's happening with dorfs/fyreslayers too, and we'll probably start getting teased by the end of edition campaign around the new year, like what has been happening with 40k and all the 500 worlds stuff.
>>97324642I'm down for more
>>97324918Have you painted up a treeman by chance yet?
Just gotta layer the cloth and purple bits back up a bit, I'm maybe a touch of weathering on the armour. Over all I like how it turned out
>>97325010Forgot the image, too focused on the captchs
>buy the most recent WD for my blue boys in 40k>turns out there’s data cards to run FEC in Warhammer QuestDamn I guess I suddenly got more interested in Dark Water, assuming they get around to the SBGL’s.
>>97324959I painted 2 actually but they're from a time when I couldn't paint that well so they're pretty mid lol
>>97324642Isnt kurnoth dead anywaylosers should change their name
>>97325044I like them either way
>>97325119thanks anon
>>97325021The white and blue is very tasteful
Cursed image
>>97324541got jumpscared by my art, wild lmaothank you OP for liking stupid giant rats>TQknowing GW it'll be more exposition and lore specifically focused on aqshy and ghyran because they're daddy's favorite realms
>>97325763>aqshy and ghyran because they're daddy's favorite realmsI wonder how Chamon feels about being in the big 3 at the start (arguable more important than Ghyran since saving Ghal Maraz > saving Alariel) only to fall so far behind
>>97325694>what the fuck is this warlock orc doi->hispanoid shitchecks out
>>97325980That's Spanish? I thought it was French
>>97325763Add more rat
>>97324541>TQOn the 10 year anniversary of the game GW couldn't do a single fucking thing for it so I doubt we're getting any major story advancements now, especially with 40keks new edition on the horizon. It's going to be yet another off year. The only thing I'm looking forward to this year is *maybe* getting faction terrain lmao.
>>97326014Last year(+) was Year of Chaos and we got quite a bit in it while 40cucks seethed at their chaotic impotance
>>97326076fuck off with your console war bullshit, faggot
>>97326081You're the one who brought up 42k
>>9732607640k got a new faction and several killteamswe got a couple HQs
>>97324744Sonahtleb has more aura
>>97326143>Skaven posterchild, Chorfs reimagining and Nurgle Quest Vs>half assed Emperors Children spinoff
>>97326143>several killteamsmeh. I dont really care for most of em. They're pretty boring, last good one they released was the space cops.
>>97326171>Skaven posterchild, Chorfs reimagining and Nurgle Questnone of those were within the "year of chaos"skaven refresh was before it started and the chorf release and darkwater were after
>>97326182NTA but skaven were literally in the article when gw got pissed and recounted all the chaos models released during the assumed year of chaos.
>>97326182Fall 2024 when Skaven fully dropped to Fall 2025 with Helsmiths and Darkwater spoilers. Here's your year
>>97326233that's not what the year was but (you) tried
>>97325044Your mid painting is better than 99% of painters so feel some comfort in that
>>97321380>>necromancerdidn't Cursed City come with three Necromancers?
>>97326641also that monk lady seems like very good conversion fodder for a Necromancer too
I didn't comprehend how fucking big the seraphon are until I finished building the carnosaur, even the kroxigors are fucking big
>>97326641The only one on a necromancer sized base is the Shyish Scholar. The named necromancer rasputin guy is on a bigger base (also used to be really good but got nerfed to shit) and big notaghoul man looks like one but I don't believe was a caster.They all make good proxies if you fucked with the bases.
>>97326759Do bases matter that much in AoS?
>>97326762Arguably more than ever before
>>97326641god I hope Soulblight get a unit of the feral vampire kids and a new Vargheist kit that looks like the Cursed City one
>>97326779makes this guy a weird move
>>97326762More than you'd think, since spells, effects, combat is all based on your base not the actual model size.
>>97326796Soon... i'll get mine and give him his little tophat and skeleton paint
>>97326796I wish someone would do a baron samedi conversion of this dude, he would be perfect for it.
>>97326814>>97326823that model was so clearly designed to be painted like a witch doctor, I feel like they backed off at the last minute for fear of being potentially offensive
>>97326823Im picking mine up in a week, got any tips for getting him proper converted?
>>97326796I wish this were a wight king instead...Or maybe not, since then I'd actually want it.
>>97326843>make tophat out of plasticard>paint him black with a skeleton facedone
>>97326953I still got this saved in my reff folder from when he first got shown off.
>year after launch >limited edition launch boxes still rotting on shelves Now that the dust has well and truly settled, why did the HoH flop?
Oh, it's flop poster. Same time tomorrow?
Now that the dust has well and truly settled, why did TOW flop?
>>97327082People liked the idea of Helsmiths of Hashut more so than the actual faction itself.
>>97327082i spit on your ancestors and piss on all of indiayou are the fucking bloody
>>97327126My LGS I pre-order at still has the Deathrattle Army Set but can’t hold on to the refreshed skeleton kits or Spearhead and are currently sold out. I think Spearhead is just genuinely the “only” way to play this edition.
Fathom the thought of acting like an adult
>>97326796>>97326924I wish he at least wasn't a weirdly ripped old man. Why is he dressed like Kraven the Hunter? A cool Wight King would've gone hard.Maybe this year's WH+ since it's always a coin flip whether it'll be Soulblight or another faction
>>97326759>They all make good proxies if you fucked with the basesYou say that like it takes any effort whatsoever to base swap
>>97327112
The more I looked at then the more I wasn't liking the flesh tone I had on my storm fiends so I changed the flesh color to fur color I use and I like them way better now
I've been trying to bit by bit work on the blight kings. Also got some dirty down moss to fiddle with. It's a neat little effect but I reckon it's gonna be a few more models before I really get it nailed. Until then just gonna keep chugging along!
>>97327414This ain’t what you think it means.
>>97327414>price plastic like it's precious metal>sell rules separately from the game, which end up outdated after 6 months and a waste of money>sell bundles that make no sense and offer very little discount value>stop selling cool models or make models limited time fomo shit so secondhand market is peoples only option if they get in lateThe problem is they price this shit like collectors kits for gundam or whatever where people are paying prices of good looking one off dispaly models they're not expected to have more than one of. But the way they write the rules they want you paying fucking $15 a 4cm model that you need 40 of. They used to make and price this shit with the expectation that a teenager could reasonably get into warhammer. Now only rich kids and adults with more money than sense can afford it.
>>97327112unreal
>>97324702Best I've seen in days.
>>97327522It is what I think it means because I typed it the first time and didn't want to type it again>>97327635There isn't a single model that you need 40 of priced at 15 each in your rules system. You're just a poorfag
Final episode of Blacktalon up for download yet?
>>97328009Wasn't posted here yet
>>97328009Is blacktalon good? I've been meaning to watch it. Recently sat through Sigmar's Toll and left wanting way more
>>97327904>he saves his own posts Pathetic.
I finished the Callis and Toll books recently and it drives me nuts just how different the characters are in the newest David Annandale book, like they don't even mention Ghur once its wild. Wildest part might be that I enjoyed Toll probably more in this than the previous ones.
>>97327112>4 Halo: Flashpoint How.
>>97328076Did you buy your 5 balloons anon, how will gw know you play their game if you don't buy 5 balloons. Tick tock!
>>97328088Maybe it just launched? Never heard of it
>>97325054so is christ, but there are still christians around.
>>97327112because, like I told you in /40kg/, there was no major TOW release in spring 2025.
>>97328080Yeah it's a little odd how they and Neave were basically revamped into different people.
>>97328200Spring 2025 is the whole 1st half of the year in this system, so this is Cathy "making space marines numbers" below #10 place xD
I think all of the horns on Nurgle miniatures look silly. A horn here or there is fine, but every single guy does not need them.
>>97328305I don’t disagree but I think it fits. I question the coral and other sea life stuff but if they plan on expanding the nautical aspect of nurgle in the future I guess I’m down for that aspect too.
>>97328312I thought the coral was supposed to be some fungus stuff or something desu.But yes it definitely reads as coral
>>97328305I get the idea. Horns=crowns, Rotswords have them growing, Kings have it full
>>97328305I dunno if there's been a big argument about them but I think some of them are just a touch large
>>97328312>the nautical aspect of nurglewhat the fuck are you talking about?

I'll post more because why not
Good old Korghos Khul and his wacky red pyramid (laugh all you want, it worked)
>pupa grotesse...Pupa Grotesse.
The Orb Infernia, where Flagellants, Priests of Sigmar and War Altars of Sigmar held firm against Cygors, Gorghons and Bullgors (that was a weird one indeed)long live the Candlemen
...so this is how the Scabrous Sprawl appears.I wonder what a side view would look like.
>>97328533Oh! There it is
>wasting half an hour of your time
greetings from Vytrix the Crystal Cockatrice (everyone's favourite Godbeast)
The rays of metal magic clearly go through the metallostrata, as you can see from this diagram
Nurgle treemen mentioned
is there a battle profile for 8 pestigors?
>>97328664No. They got Soul Warsed
>>97328672shame. I like the darkwater pestigor more than the others.
>>97328664buy two recasts of the metal ones for the command group
>>97328680If you were planing to run 40 that's the lowest amount that divides by both 8 and 10.Or you can make 2 proxies
>>97328680There is hope that the next free mini is a pestigor. Then you would need only one more pestigor. Still, such a stupid thing to do just to decrease the compatibility
>>97328700Crackpot theory: Shaman was originally the unit chamion, but was removed from the sprew of 2x5 and made into a hero. Leaving a sprew of 2x4
>>97328700>to decrease the compatibilityimagine I am a greedy GW investor, and I don't give a shit about games, I just want to make as much money as possible.Imagine that you are GW: can you convince me that decreasing compatibility between your own products is a good idea?(I genuinely don't understand their reasoning even in greed)
>>97328715*sprue
>>97328715makes no sense
>>97327112>6 jesus Christ 3rd and 4th really killed it
>>97328715it sounds reasonable
>>97328717they expect every nurgle player to have at least one darkwater box and then to buy the other units they've madethey don't want them to buy a second dark water box instead of the other units and they don't want them to use the darkwater units instead of the full units>but anon, people will make a pair of proxiesa non zero percentage, which is actually relatively high once you understand how many consumers are genuine sheep, will buy the full pestigor unit instead as they'll never use the 8 pestigors or blight templars for anything
New Pestigors are birth defect potatos, so you'll get away with sticking limbs into a blob of greenstuff and calling it a kitbash
>>97328760They should rebundle all fatties into a spearhead/regiment of renown.
>>97328305I think the horns are cool but horns on EVERY rotsword is overdoing it.When rotswords got announced, their lore blurb said something along the lines of>rotswords have yet to receive enough "blessings" (mutations) to burst through their armor and grow horns like the Putrid Blightkings have>they attach and bolt horns to their helmets as tribute and a sign of respect to Nurgle/BlightkingsWhich is an interesting idea but it kind of makes them less special. ALSO the nu-blightkings' horns are visibly nailed to their helmets which doesn't make sense since they're supposed to have grown them.I'm actually afraid we're going to stop seeing the other mutations on mortals>single eyes>gapings mouths on stomachs and hands>three giant boils on the stomach or arm>tentacle>huge folds of fat>single horns on the head >multiple horns growing on one shoulderI like the new disc shaped mail the rotswords got but the one with a giant of veil of it on his face looks really dumb. I also miss the raggedy mismatched look of the old blightkings. They reminded me of the Brave companions from ASOIAF or Glanton's company from blood meridian. It's much scarier seeing a band of giant mutated fat fucks with dull chipped weapons. I get it. GW is trying to rebrand nurgle and it looks good, but I liked the kitbash potential of the old kits. It's a bit too homogenized for my taste but I'll still buy a box of rotswords or blightkings eventually and mix them in with my old dudes for more visual interest in my army.
>>97328837>Grease trap spearhead
look guys I made a rotsword like another anon suggested a thread or two ago.I had more blightking and blightlord bits left than I thought and the chaos warrior files I found have nice flat connection points that hide any deformities under the shoulder pad.I don't even know if this blightking arm was left or right since it's so bloated. I just cut off the hand and put another weapon on it. The head needed some filing to fit inside too but it looks good.>>97328837thank god for Dark Miniatures and the generous anons with $1000 scanners that upload STL's because fuck GW for locking blight templars, Morgoth the cleaver and even the pestigors behind darkwater.
>>97328882shieeet....
>>97328717>>97328760I agree that some people would rather buy more a new unit than make 2 proxies so that might look fair. But thing about what type of people you are trying to scam. They have to:Want DWWant pestigorsBe aversed to proxing/printing/buying 2 spare models second handIgnore your stupid decision to drinki their money like thatAnd for that you made the same unit twice, turning off some potential customers and wasting a change to put another buying incentive (like reworked lesser deamons).I admit that warhammer players are paypigs but somehow it's GW that fight for scraps.
>>97328837orhear me out herethey release mulgoth and templars as another unique unitthey have the underworlds gang as a second unique unitand then they rebox the old blightkings into blightknights or something so they are a third unit that can stand apart from the new blightkings and new rotswordswhy all these problems when more units is always better?>but anon, gw can't stock them allthen keep these online only, who cares
>>97328886This works very well.
>>97328906it's not just that, I was thinking of paypig whale slop companies like Nintendo, Apple, Lego: they do everything in their power to attack and kill compatibility with external brands, but the name of the game to lure people in and lock them into the ecosystem is synergy and internal compatibility among all products.Even accepting the "war" narrative of "Specialist Games" vs "Mainline GW", that only explains the spite and separation between some products (Old World and AoS for example, or 40k and Horus Heresy), but it doesn't explain phenomena like this (both products are Age of Sigmar mainline studio business).Even when I set my brain to full greed mode I can't explain why Warcry and Underworlds and Warhammer Quest aren't 100% compatible and great value components for Age of Sigmar.Maybe it's really just a case of "we need to keep all lines separate to make better graphs in our Powerpoint presentations and ledgers and people buying one product for a different game throws us off into utter confusion and panic and we can't tell what's happening to the sales anymore".It's an absurd thought but the only real explanation that comes to mind.
>>97328937>both products are Age of Sigmar mainline studio businessweirdly enough darkwater was put in the "everything else" category of sculpts of the year, not aos, but where all specialist products made by the specialist team (blood bowl, necromunda, etc), and before you think that's a classification of the type of product rather than the team of sculptors, underworlds products were in the aos category and kill team in the 40k, not the specialist one
>>97328967What if it was produced before the split in departments then? And every weirdness is some kind of compromise between divorcing parents warring for their share?
>>97328977the anon you're replying to is implying that Darkwater happened after the split, not before, and that would make more sense.Even though some "before" products like the old Silver Tower with the grotbag scuttlers underwent the same fate of "barely compatible and then scrub from memory"
OBR never...
>>97328937If full greed option is right why would they make Pestigors? Why not something else?
>>97328994>barely compatiblewholly compatible
>>97328514Sublime.

>>97329581the entire background about the spirefall, of how elves built a utopic society that fell and was reinvented from the ground up with teclis's new zen doctrines, is an inside joke about how all the work designers and sculptors did behind the scenes for the new aos elves army had to be scrapped and restarted from scratch because it all relied on gw following through with the death of slaanesh, but instead backtracked on it.

>>97329619Was that ever confirmed by anyone? Even addressed in passing? It would be a fun spin on their history. I do wish they would’ve kept some of the pre-Spirefall designs, though. That leering mage standing over the other elf looks so fucking COOL in the art.
>>97329581It's Eldar from 40k, complete with a Fall of the Eldar, but makes even less sense.No longer aspect warriors but 'aelementals'Also their current society should be less ancient than all of the Azur based human civilizations (because those are pre 'Fall' and the LRL reorganized after the fall) but the lore keeps acting like their society is ancient (once again it's not it's just stupid/lazy writers).
>>97329621Warhammer World isn't the factory or design studio surrounding it. Realistically they should open factories in the US to avoid taxes and alleviate production issues from a nightmarish UK approval process which prevents them from just erecting more factories without a decade of prep. Nothing states it's a factory.
>>97329626Kek!
>>97329634The site in Nashville has masters and can create sprues.
>>97329443I believe you
>>97329634They don't want to pay more tax in the UK, that's why almost all production is still there outside of the terrian or Books which are made in china
>>97328837Looks like an average LGS
>>97329443> My dad is BritishYikes. Sorry to hear that anon.Maybe an hero and roll again? Maybe you will get 'third son of Arab sheik by fourth tall supermodel wife' this time around.
>>97329671Smells like it too
>>97329630>Azur based human civilizationsthey most definitely went through terrible losses and changes as well with the age of chaos.between supply lines from other realms getting suddenly cut off, plenty of dead in the wars before the closing of the gates, miscegenation with the refugees from the other realms, and purges from sigmar's own agents.Plus human societies change easily over time even without a drastic fall, unlike elven ones, so we can easily imagine azyr having aged past its golden era, while lumineth may have remained unchanged since the reformation.It's arguably worse in 40k where the fall of the eldar is practically contemporary with the formation of the imperium, and both have stagnated since then but the general impression of the eldar is that they're older.
>>97328538parasite engines my beloved
>>97329558That seems like a terrible idea. GW is logistically based in the south, why not slap it down near Atlanta?
>>97329634>hey should open factories in the US to avoid taxes and alleviate production issueswhy?Its good when americans suffer
>>97329626
>>97329738To be fair, it's not like they need all that much logistics to charge people $10 to look at a few dioramas
>>97329748Yeah Warhammer World in Nottingham is>A game/event hall with some nice tables for all the games>A fuex pub>a museum of all old dioramas>a shopyou could basical have this anywere
>>97329691He means to say that the actual Lumineth species is younger than some Azyrite societies. Which it is. There was human and non-Lrl elf societies existing when Tyrion/Teclis set out to find more elves. Then they met up with Malerion and Morathi, fucked up with the IDK, then tried again with other attempts, and landed on LRL. I think writers often forget that because it’s so easy to fall into the same old tradition of elves being the older society. But post-reinvention LRL are VERY new. To the point where there’s probably many elves whose great or immediate grandparents lived to see the Spirefall happen and have their children or grandchildren in the Age of Chaos and be Reinvented.I think a reformed elven society that is healthy and on the rise is a fun spin on the concept of elves.
>>97329765>There was human and non-Lrl elf societies existing when Tyrion/Teclis set out to find more elves.the human ones were practically primitives at the time
>>97329765>He means to say that the actual Lumineth species is younger than some Azyrite societiesWell duh, bascially every race has societies older than any elfs. You guys forgot that they were bascially extinc and had to be artificially re-introduced to a world where all the other races already lived in?
>>97329775Not that far back. 3e tome.
