>>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?

>>97330234i do like how the priests have to essentially power up and then their abilities have escalating bonuses the more power they put into themthat feels like a more interesting system than 2d6 and a coin flip to just do whatever i want whenever i want with no setup or preparation. the magic system in age of sigmar doesnt feel very magical, and kind of never has apart from summoning
Are we going to have to wait until the end of the edition for our fix hedonchuds
>>973305693 year edge is just right
>>97330569I think 5th edition is going to be a nightmare. There's nothing to suggest the rules monkeys have any fucking ideas at all.
>>97330587I want regiments gone
>>97330294why do so many people post pictures of the crustiest, hair covered models? you guys can't spend 5 seconds dusting the thing?
>>97330587They’re currently on their obsession with tokens in maggotkin and helsmiths. Which is a slight improvement on the first battletomes that have fucking nothing different from the index>>97330582I fucking love getting to play your faction properly for 3 months before everyone swaps to the new edition. How they messed up so many index factions I don’t know
>>97327112Wow I didn’t realize AoS was as falling that low. 4th has been a disaster for this game and its community
>>97330615As a new person, why the fuck don't the tomes for each faction come out at the same time when a new edition launches? Having months or years between rule book updates seems like the fastest way to get people to ignore your game since they have no updated ruleset to use.
>>97327112>go to this general>people shitting on TOW>go to /wfg/ >people shitting on AoS>go to /40kg/>people shitting on both AoS and TOWthis board actually sucks so much fucking cock I hate all of you console warrior /v/brained manchildren
>>97330640tribalism has always been a thing on this piece of shit website, why would you expect /tg/ to be an exception
>>97330640It’s worse than console warring. It’s like warring over Big Macs, Chicken McNuggets, and Filet-o-Fishes.
>>97330639They’re updated in the index at the start of the edition, which is your dumb downed battletome (or just your battletome if you’re lucky). As to why, GW are married to print media and won’t release the battletome with new units in them if they don’t sell them.Also spreads their cash flow over the years
>>97330640at least the brand loyalty of console warriors made sense in terms of competition unlike that of warhammer fans complaining about the products of the same company
>>97330656Chicken Selects for life
>>97330656Wasn't the actual Filet-o-Fish such a flop they canceled it for over a decade and brought it back for some quick nostalgia buck last year?
>>97330640it's like 1-2 people per thread at most. Unfortunately, /tg/ doesn't have rules against flamewarring for some reason so unless it's a spam post like jeetleaf does the jannies won't action it.
>>97330671It was my first job and the grilled chicken, man. Southwest salad with double chicken was my go-to every lunch break. I saw they’re doing test markets for grilled chicken sandwiches right now. Hopefully it does well enough to get the salads back.>>97330679No. It’s been on the menu as long as I’ve been alive.
>>97330679Nah that was the snack wrap.
>>97330072I really wish we had gotten a battleforce for yhem with all the other stuff
>>97330629They shat the bed hard day one with regiments making list building awkward and unfun. They also kept battle tactics around which are wildly unpopular with casual players. Fixing it in post doesn't undo that sort of damage. Battletomes dropping without more enhancements also upset a lot of people who, quite reasonably, expect battletomes to add additional variety to armies.Battletome content in general is not inspired. People like anvil of apotheosis in general, but they're insistent on not allowing it in matched play, which is literally just a no fun allowed sign, and even in path to glory most of the battletome anvils dont allow you to make very interesting heroes, and the paths are often worse than generic ones.
>>97330808I do love that battle formations are 90% ‘you will take this one unit and like it’, which is awful when ranges are so anemic
Is there any faction minis anons that you bought just because you liked the minis? not the army or faction, just because hey they look kinda coolFor me it was the Slaanesh Myrmidons, the minis look really cool and paiting them as undivided followers>>97330808Wasn't other thing that people didn't like is the unit/hero spam? I think i remember the 10(?) deathmaster army that was broken
>>97330808I remember first expressing interest in AoS and was advised to stick with Spearhead and avoid the main game. It sounds like that James has a bad case of “trying to please everyone and pleasing no one,” syndrome. Was Spearhead just a fluke or what?
>>97330725>>97330792Ok did some reasers. It was canned, but only here during the 2020 pandemic supply clusterfuck and brought back in 2025.I thought it was gone for longer, since all the marketting for the return was about 2000s nostalgia
Are the skaven and seraphon spearheads good options for buying multiple of for most of an army, big brick of dinos for lizards sounds funny, and for skaven I want to build a clan skryre army anyways
>>97330872It’s really not that. It’s more so that the writers working on AoS are simply incompetent. Let’s not over complicate this. More competent people were working on AoS during 3rd and especially 2nd.
>>97330913Are you in EU? It definitely never disappeared here in my area of the US. What did disappear right as the pandemic kicked off was the southwest salad. Which I went to order on the day they stopped serving them…
>>97330931>I want to build a clan skryre army anywaysIf i'm correct anon there's already a skryre spearhead, BUT, wasn't another announced around december? Or was it fake? The one with stormvermin in the Skryre spearheadDid like that one, but the old spearhead one not much since i don't like the warpcanon much
>>97330957I think you're mistaking the leaks about the future ninja rats
>>97330872Not at all. They were already pleasing everyone by 2nd edition which was universally well recieved, 3rd edition was also generally well recieved. What they did was re-write the core rules from the ground up for no reason and didnt even do a good job, meaning there is now a huge errata document and instead of the core rules being extremely concise and being explained in the order in which they are used to play a game, rules are now shat all over the book. They also changed things that were fine in ways nobody asked for (list building). They also significantly reduced the quantity of variables players have to chose from when building their army. Even though there are many positive changes, a lot of what was done seems incompetent and to have served to purpose that would be apparent to a player.The general vibe is one of a total loss of direction. From the first GHB onward AoS was on a very clear path of improvement, making changes called for by the player base and also adding more content over time. Now what we have is a reduction of content and arbitrary changes that may or may not be better. Its not just that the current game version isnt great (its pretty okay, it plays better than several other GW games), its also very concerning in regards to what the future of the game will be like.
>>97330957I have the current skaven spearhead with seraphon since I was gonna try and get my friends into tabletopBut how worth is it to pick up multiple boxes, since storm fiends, warp lightning cannons are cool and aside from ratling guns those are like the only thing I feel like id need to pick up
>>97331028> Rewrote the core rules FROM THE GROUND UP!!Lmao at this retard. They finally tightened the core rules engine up to where it can support all the stupid things they wanted to do with it in 1-3rd. The only issue is they sucked out all the flavor from the armies. They CAN recover from this it's just a matter if they will before they lose too much of their casual audience and if they have corrected this for 5th. If 5th is just as bland the game is fucked, like worse sales than TOW fucked..
>>97330234>t.
>>97331028It really feels like 5th edition is going to make or break AoS. 4th benefits from TOW having a very shaky half committed start. They have shifted gears in the last 8 months big time and ramped up TOW releases now with actual new models. If 5th is as bad or somehow worse than 4th and TOW's second edition isn't bad then AoS is going to be in a LOT of trouble.
>>97331121TOW was surprisingly very well written it was abused by tournament spergs though and they massively overcorrected it. AOS 4th is a mechanically fine game written for tournament nerds but with all the flavour sucked out of it. I’m sorry but the ‘living rulebook’ sucks and seems to make GW think that playtesting is less necessary
>>97331170I am completely speculating and could be wrong, but it feels like the living rulebook and the low quality are simply a result of more incompetent people in charge right now. I think AoS devs have a much harder time than TOW devs too, because Fantasy is established and its not so much that they have to constantly create their own unique things, but more so draw from a well established setting and not fuck it up. I think this also applies a bit to the rules. Where the writers don't really know (as you said) what to do with AoS or where to take it, whereas in TOW (I assume) they just used an older edition as a foundation and tweaked from there?
Do you guys even think chorfs will get more content considering their release was short and their warcry warband got sent to legends instantly?Cathay got content but it was "whatever", peasant archers and peasant fighters and random hero>>97325763>Artist draws human looking rats, even their spawn look as the motherWeakGive me the ratfuckers who draws them as skaven but not full fur fuckers
>>97331215We will see. If it sold as well as Cathay there's nothing to say it won't get a massive second wave like Cathay is getting soon. If it undersold it is possible that they let it languish like numerous other factions. At the end of the day sales (relative to sales targets) are the only thing that really matters to them.
>>97331207Looking at the recent arcane journals I don’t have much faith in whoever is in charge of writing for tows rules.
>>97331236Could be worse, could be the complete joke that is Horus Heresy journals.
>>97331264GW loves selling you £20 books with no content
>>97331215If they’re going to get anything it would be during the end of edition campaign. Aside from that it’s usually a one and done sort of deal with the battletome. Same deal for 40k. Also it’s been speculated that 5th will have a heavy emphasis on the elves, where as 4th is focusing on the dwarves.
>>97331028I think 4ed was the testing ground of 40k>>97331121Doubt it, TOW is also selling well thanks to the interoperability of the new minis, cathay and marauders are both usable for AOS, the next refresh will be Chaos warrior, another kit usable in AOSBut the same is also happening with AOS new rangesContrary to popular belief AOS and TOW are not in a competition RIGHT NOWps AOS with a shaky edition is still selling better than TOW, but TOW also have a shaky edition..Also both AOS and TOW players are on the low end of the spectrum compared to 40k, the painters / collectors are the majority of the sales, which was an huge problem for TOW as no one wanted the old models, they did fix it tho, by going hard on range refreshes.
>>97331121>It really feels like 5th edition is going to make or break AoS. they should fully embrace the lessons learnt from spearhead and underworlds and add cards to the gameit's the only way gw has been able to add a modicum of complexity to their game and it doesn't come at the cost of bloat on either tome or unit profile
>>97331236What parts specifically? I like Battle March personally. I think my complaint with AJ is more that they need more content. I don't like the under 50 page format at all. The lore was written pretty badly in the Cathay AJ too (very mary sue, problem with modern GW in general) , but the more recent Chaos marauder AJ was written a lot better so idk.
>>97330957You're thinking of the skryre christmas battleforce, has stormvermin yeah
>>97331276I don't even know anyone who bought one of them. But everyone ended up buying blighted wilds and the people I play AoS and 30k with are the same people, so it sort of shows the value of having interesting, focused content even if its something youre only going to play through once. The HH journals straight up feel like horse armor.
>>97328057I started season 1 yesterday with some friends. It's okay. I think the opening with Naeve's reforging is cool. The bad guy for each episode so far has been a different faction which I enjoyed seeing. But I really don't care about the Blacktalons that much. They're kinda generic but it's a decent watch.
>>97327082>>97327156The answer to both of these comments is this: the army boxes have little to no value/savings if you ignore the battletome and cards. If someone is planning on using new recruit or other sites for rules, or plan on buying models mainly for hobbying, there’s no reason to buy these boxes. Similar story with the gloomspite gitmob box, which is still easy to obtain All three also share the problem of having heavy overlap with their new spearhead boxes
>>97331341i actually wonder how hard it would be to just straight up use the spearhead cards in full AoS instead of the existing missions and battle tactics. like, create some tokens with the dias symbols on them and then just use the spearhead tactic and twist cards.
>>97331341They really shouldn't. They make a product more logistically complex and expensive and create an unnecessary dependency on an external supplier.
>>97331432I wish AoS had people willing to edit the rules put out by GW. Fantasy has entire edited and rebalanced faction lists done by the community that are widely adopted. AoS needs something like that too.Call me a schizo. But I think the state of AoS can be explained a bit because of this. When TOW released, it had good overall ruled but some things were overtuned. TO's simply started enforcing widely agreed upon comp instead of playing with GW rules. That put fire under GW to put out the massive 1.5 changes that basically adopted most of the changes the community already made to the game. It was GW adapting to the community rather than vice versa. For some reason, the AoS community is far less interested in playing anything that doesn't come directly from GW. Like...we know GW fucks up all the time, why do we treat them like infallible Gods?
>>97331447the nice thing about cards is that you can just print them at home i know a 3d printer is a big ask for some people but a paper printer sure isnt
>>97331447they already produce and sell warscroll cards, this would be no differentif anything it would add value to that worthless product
>>97331419Yeah there's a reason the gitmob and deathrattle spearheads take so long to be released separately. Although the deathrattle army set seemed to have done alright in my area.But yes you've hit the nail on the head, a lot of the value of the set is in the battletome (which is overpriced as fuck to start with). The skelly box for example, is 193 yuros when all the kits are bought on their own, and I think 180 standard gw price. With the extra 50 'value' you get from the tome it's a good deal, but if you don't give a shit...Conversely if you do actually care about battletomes these boxes also mean there's usually a good supply of them on the secondary market.
>>97331457it did during 1st edition. the first generals handbook was actually just an adaptation of a fan document collated by a group of TOs. the 2nd edition cities of sigmar book (widely regarded as one of the best battletomes ever written) was also more or less a fan passion project one of the writers convinced the studio lead to let them actually publishits not unheard of, and some TOs do also houserule things or make allowances, its really only a handful of people you need to get on board.
Fuck me I forgot how small these are
>>97331525thats me with every kit I get my hands on.
>>97331276I liked the arcane journals for five minutes when I first started looking into TOW. Compared to the massively Overpriced/zero content AoS battletomes it felt like a breath of fresh air. Didn't take long for the TOW team to start selling you 5-6 Arcane Journals for every army at which point any cost savings or benefit is out the window and it's just annoying that they all have like five pages of actual rules content.
>>97331543I really didn’t like them as soon as I got one. I’ve ended up selling most of my old world books apart from the core rules because the arcane journals have so little content once you’ve read the rules once. There is almost nothing new with the lore there because if you know fantasy, you’ve read some version of it before
>>97331276The HH ones are shocking, the value proposition is non-existent.
>>97331498Nta but I think yeah widespread adoption of community fixes only really happens when gw *really* fucks up. Classic example is pre-ghb aos as you mentioned, with people essentially making points costs for every unit. Tow's renegade thing only exists because legacy factions really really suck and explicitely won't get much rules support (for the time being).>2nd edition cos tomeIs that the one with all the ally support stuff? Nobody played cos in my area at the time.
>>97331561And the core rules have been overwritten so much even that is more hassle than it’s worth to haul to a game
>>97331561>you’ve read some version of it beforeThis leads me to believe you are lying, could you post a timestamp with your core rules you own?
>>97331561>>97331564Wasn't there a rumour floating around that gw planning to essentially rerelease the tow core rules with all the faq's and whatnot included? Possibly tied to that weird wood elf / tomb king box? I'm not too up to date on tow stuff but I've heard it mentioned here and there.
>>97331576>timestamp with a bookfuck off dude, this is beyond pathetic.
>>97331580Yes* but asterisk is that the source was some random French or French Canadian (can't remember) youtuber guys. They did show their faces but other than that no credibility. The rumor was a 1st edition rulebook with the 1.5 changes and a Tomb Kings vs Wood Elf box. I personally don't believe it.
>>97331576>post models has turned into post books
>>97331586we're reaching /40kg/ level of retardation, wow
>>97331576Anon are you really trying to dispute that people that generally know WHFB lore aren't going to get much out of TOW splatbook lore?
>>97331612>TOW changes setting from fantasy for no reason>new lore is so nonexistent that people just mentally replace it with fantasy
>>97331591Yeah it was something like that. I found it weird because they said it was supposed to be a summer thing which seems like suicide given 40k 11th launches then (I think?). And as far as I'm aware neither of those factions are particularily popular, on top of one of them already just having had a big launch box.But who knows, gw has made plenty of baffling decisions before. I'm still skeptical myself though.
>>97331617TOW has a sort of ongoing metaplot/story that runs through the Arcane Journals but it's like 90% just special characters dunking on generic randos so it's not really all that interesting or memorable.
I hope he comes back, I made sure to grab one before he got discontinued but it would be nice to have a non-finecast one
>>97331680I would never do a daemon army ever but he's probably my favorite named daemon out of all of them
>>97331680I wouldn't count on demons getting much and I believe mortals will keep getting the spotlight whenever a question could come up, for example "fat nurgle dude on a throne" was epidemius's deal, but now it's festus
I was mulling this over at work but do you guys think there's any chance gw does not include stormcast in 5th edition's starter set, whatever that may be?As much as people like to complain about them they're pretty much tailor-made to be as beginner friendly as possible, very easy to paint, collect, and to an extent play. A lot of newcomers do seem to pick them up. On the other hand, they're obviously not space marine tier where 60%+ of the playerbase collects a variety of them, and they can't keep shitting out new units every edition AND support whatever units they're already producing from previous editions.
Hey guys, been having a miserable fucking week. Any good audio books, or AOS media I can check out? I need something to keep my brain occupied while I hobby.
>>97331767There's enough fatcast left to redo that i think they'll use it as a chance to get the range more up to date, even if doing something else would be a better idea.
>>97331767Extremely unlikely for 5th. They still have the Vanguard chamber to do, which has been kinda teased from their last UW warband being Thunderstrike Vanguards and then either reboot or squat Extremis chamber. I’m going to assume 5e starter box will redo Vanguard.
>>97331719With how retarded GW is being with everything I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow manage to make daemons a TOW only thing for no reason
>>97331813They never really replaced sacrosanct so they still have that, and potentially lightning gheist-type stuff
>>97327635>adults with more money than sense can afford it.Hardly, I'm very sensible with my money, I would spend 10% as much on wargaming as I do on investments.So it's nothing crazy
>>97331844I mean honestly, it's like 250ish bucks to get an AOS army if you're looking for secondhand or hunting deals.
>>97331776I'm sorry to hear that brother, I don't really listen to audiobooks so I'm afraid I can't help you there. I sincerely hope next week will be easier on you.
This might be of interest to someone. Adrian Tchaikovsky got interviewed about his seraphon novel.https://www.goonhammer.com/adrian-tchaikovsky-and-starseers-ruin-the-goonhammer-interview/
>>97331839Sacrosanct would be a very hard sell for people considering how dirty it was done by the squattening. It would be a repeat of a mistake to bloat the SCE roster again but this is GW and retardation is in their mission statement. Sacrosanct could come back with a much smaller roster. 1-2 heroes and 2-3 units at max. Ruination sized.
>>97330072Surely that anon posting the HoH flop isn't using screenshots from before they're released and you can get some literally for free
>>97331872Took an extended weekend from work so just gonna take some time to chill, but it's appreciate dude. Hoping to get some more of this army finished and just lock in on that.
>>97331776I really really like the "greytide rescue" style videos Squidmar does. Basically he finds some schmuck with a 20 year old pile of shame that has become a hoarder-type situation, and they paint an army for the guy in 24 hours while doing a little bit of housekeeping. It's basically Warhammer flavored hoarders except half the episode is just armypainting tutorials. It's really nice popcorn tv.
is this the latest core rule book?
>>97331900Yes.
>>97331563yeah, it could form coalitions with most of the order armies and ally with everything else it couldnt coalition, and the cities also had wildly different playstyles, one was melee, one was a sorcerers council, one was mobile and shooty, another used sylvaneth trails to teleport or deepstrike or something, etcit was really flexible, fleshed out, and it became the bedrock narratively that the setting was also missing. i really think if you could point to any one instance of change and say "thats it, thats where age of sigmar started to die" it was the destruction of that battletome, its coalition rules, and the subsequent squatting of its cosmopolitan elements.
>>97331829They're becoming less and less of a thing in general it seems, not actually leaving but just kind of there
>>97331900Latest and the last
>>97331977There's still some hope
>>97331781>>97331813Redoing the remaining fatcast is I guess the most likely for 5th edition. As far as I'm aware that's:-Vanguard raptors-vanguard crossbows-vanguard palladors-vanguard mounted lord guy-the like 10 dracoth variants-vandy-stardrakeAnd maybe some random heroes I'm forgetting. With vindictors and liberators already thunderstrike'd vanguard raptors seem like the logical "battleline" basic unit troop for stormcast in 5th's starter. Combine with some nu palladors and nu sniper crossbows, a hero or two, and a new semi-centrepiece and that's your stormcast half for 5th.But yeah at a certain you gotta start putting other armies in these boxes, or they'll have to do a sacrosanct cull every 6 years or so which will destroy people's faith in collecting the army, and therefore render their purpose as an easy starter army moot.
>>973317762+Tough has some good AoS lore discussion videos, I like his Realmgate wars video specifically.
>>97331680I love the blue scribes but I hope they get a refresh. I don't wanna spend time looking for overpriced finecast.
>>97331995Last?
>>97331977They literally just released new demons in DW
>>97332097Is finecast really as shit to work with as people say? I've been wanting to pick up the juggerlord (even though they squatted it a few months ago) because it's just such a cool mini, but the whole finecast thing is making me second guess things. I'm pretty new so I've only worked with plastic so far.
>>97332156YES, I got a secondhand... Whatever that 40k ork with the jetpack, cool hat, and robo legs is. Worst painting I've had ever, shit was flaking off, felt brittle as fuck, and paint still kinda chips off him despite me priming him properly.
>>97332156The most annoying part is finding all of the supports before priming them because there's a million of them and some of them are tiny
>>97332140The lack of releases for warcry strongly suggests they aren’t doing another edition
>>97332140To expand on the lack of releases, the lead designer of Warcry, as well as Spearhead, Sam Pearson left on March 1st 2025. In any serious multinational corporation, one lead designer leaving a project would just mean a transition in leadership or promoting whoever was second in command, but half the time GW runs like a mom and pop small business and one employee leaving can have an outsized effect. I would also argue that Warcry was probably fairly popular, but it was also probably a tremendous pain in the ass for GW to maintain - warbands were several foot hero sculpts sold for the price of one, and people don't buy multiple of the same warband usually. If GW's biggest expenses are paying for design and making new molds, then Warcry logically asks GW to do the things they don't like doing in order to sell a product people won't buy multiple times.
>>97332185It potentially could be a restructuring like they did with killteam where everything is essentially a "normal" release that has a regular loadout and a more schizo warcry loadout but I'm guessing it's just done
WHERE IS MY KURNOTHI SPEARHEAD GW?! WHERE?!?!?!?!?!
>>973323208th edition if you're lucky
>>97332185Just like underworlds.
>>97332361We desperately need more Underworlds. I actually adore the new addition.
>>97332372Did you play the original? Honest question because I feel like the new edition has been absolute shit,
>>97332382What did you like about shadowspire? Or harrowdeep?
>>97332382I did, and I've a massive collection of it too. There's just something about the new edition that clicked with me and my mate instantly and we've loved every game we've played. I've every warband and only have 2 of Kurnoth's Heralds left to paint along with Kamandora's Blades who I've left to last simply because they're so terrible looking lol
>>97332394Started in Beastgrave so hard to say on Shadespire, Harrowdeep wasn't my favorite but rivals was a great system and its introduction did wonders on introducing people to the game.Best I feel was Gnarlwood and Direchasm since they had solid releases and some neat gimmicky decks and warbands. 2e gutted every concievable thing from the game except the bare minimum and didn't even try to dress it up.
>>97332406I just didn't vibe with the new releases, I'm same with you in that I have basically everything but slowed down with the newer stuff because I wasn't a big fan of how it's being sold (no decks with warbands, seperate rivals decks got doubled in price) There's some neat shit but I don't think there was much justification for creating a "new edition"THE WORST OF IT, Morgwaeths, Ironskulls, Eyes of the Nine are all still fucking shit. Even with the oppurtunity to fix these garbo old releases GW decided that their primary identity was being mediocre or unplayable.
>>97331457The AoS tournament system is made up of cucks who beg for attention from daddy GW.TOW tournament people are vets from when GW completely gave up on regulating 8th ed (and then abandoned the game entirely) so they were use to doing things for themselves. It's different generations of games.
>>97332679>TOW tournament peopleDon't make me pull up the tournament attendance numbers again
>>97332679> from when GW completely gave up on regulating 8th ed so they were use to doing things for themselveslol 1st edition age of sigmar literally didnt have rules until the TO community pulled together and made them
Honestly I love to paint but sometimes I low key wish I wasn't cursed with painting autism, digital artists are so goddamn lucky not having to be surrounded by so much stuff manAnyway what are you working on on this Friday evening anons
>>97332266I’m surprised it wasn’t just Kill Team but AoS. Surely there are plenty of units that people would love a specialist version of them.
>>97332874>Anyway what are you working on on this Friday evening anons40k Ynnari, but now after talking about my love of 2nd edition Underworlds up above I might end up finishing up Kurnoth's Heralds lol I'm in the mood.
>>97332874Sadly nothing. Waiting for my Shrine Luminor to come in. It’s gonna be a doozy to rig it up for transport/storage before I even get to painting it. I wish GW would take 30 seconds of dev time to remember that people want to play with these minis and have to move them around.
How do I start seraphon? Buy both spearheads?
>>97332874I have the kind of painting autism that I have to put a lot of effort even into basic bitch minis. Not painting AoS this weekend unfortunately.
>>97332958Add everything under their tab to your cart on warhammer.com!
>>97332874I'm telling myself I'm gonna get home from work and finish my watch master that I started like 2 months ago but I'll quickly find something else to do
>>97332958Buy their first spearhead and paint it, then you can decide what to get next.
>>97332960>I have the kind of painting autism that I have to put a lot of effort even into basic bitch minisHoly fucking relatableI can't help it, perfectionism is a curse, and ironically I don't even paint Slaanesh minis despite living the chronic mindset of it
Damn James really went nuts on those early Start Collecting's, can't believe he didn't get fired for that
>>97333012Years later and I still have to paint 2 of the Terras and the dino. Maybe someday.
>>97333012He was simply illustrating to the shareholders that warhammer fans will buy literally ANYTHING no matter how upsetting or inappropriate the contents were
I didn't really know where I was going with it aside from "green dinosaurs" but I'm already liking how it looks
>>97333070Red and Green should never be seen, but good luck
>>97332874I'm still grinding through my 10 blight kings and lord of... the shield one.I don't know why but these models are taking me forever. Maybe it's because batch painting 10 of these fuckers was a bad idea but we do what we gotta do.
>>97333070
>>97333099I was gonna just do pure green with like the darker tint topside but I wanted another color, and the red sounded good to me
>>97332960>>97332994Anons say this shit and then turn around and use metallic paint baka my head
Which contrast would be closest to the blue they use for horrors
>>97333264Stormfiend is close to that kinda navy blue they use.
>>97333264Looks pretty close
>>97333378Bluest my ass, Talassar blue is like 10 million times more blue.
>>97333378lol I like how you can see the shitty contrast finish even in a promo picture
>>97333420They showed what it actually looks like on the mini, that's significantly better than just showing a fully painted mini and pretending contrast was the trick.
It's insanely fucked up that Ossiarch get to keep both their Spearheads but the old Soulblight one got discontinued in favor of one that's only for a single aspect of the army
>>97333493The old one had the fucked ip skeletons in it, the new one has the new deathrattle sprues. Maybe they’ll get another one in the future.
>>97333502Since we have an all skeleton box, I'm throwing this out as an all vampire box
>>97333552This seems fucking terrible, good deal if you buy it only once (kinda)
>>97333397Blue you
>>97333654My first idea was a hunting pack think, Lord on horse, two units of Blood Knights, and some wolves. But that doesn't seem like the kind of box they'd do, they always like some infantry in there
>>97333552We need an actual vamp infantry unit for this to be good
>>97333677Blood knights are too "premium" to be tossed out 2 for a spearhead. I'd bet vampire lord on horse, Vamp Warcry Gang, Blood knights and then like... I dunno 10 deadwalker zombies or something inconvienent.
>>97332874fucking rain happened when I was planning on spray priming some stuff outside, so instead I 3d printed a movement tray.
Besides the 3 ships that have miniatures, what other ships does the Kharadron have in the lore?
Played an 8 player Warcry game.Was utter madness but sick fun
>>97331457>I wish AoS had people willing to edit the rules put out by GWthe problem with this is deciding what the rules should be and getting people to play the fanfiction rules. TOW is a completely different situation, people who played WHFB had been doing so for decades, so when TOW dropped anything that didn't fit the grogs idea of "real warhammer" was ignored and they continued to play the game like they always did. WHFB being dead for so long cemented what the remaining community liked and so they played that. Comparatively AoS continues to be updated and people have been getting in at different points and times and the community doesn't have a single unified edition or ruleset they prefer. I'm sure there are groups still playing 2nd and 3rd edition but as long as GW supports and puts stuff out for new versions, people will give that a try. Fan made rule sets make more sense when it's for something that's not being supported. With AoS they could always "fix" stuff people dont' like, eventually.
>>97333725There's pictures in the old army books of giant aircraft carrier sized things
>>97333725lots of ships. All kinds of ships of different sizes
>>97333725From the 1st edition battle tome. Big air craft carriers, but also mine layers, shield ships, and torpedo boats. I would love to see some mine layers, personally.
>>97333801Besides the large battleship, are there any more official images of the other ships mentioned?
>>97333502The old one actually got updated with the new skellies for a period then got wiped.It was the Soublight Spearhead(old skellies) then Bloodcrave Hunt(new skellies) which lasted all of a year, probably less, then the current Wight Supremacy(all skellies).
is the flesh eater courts spearhead fun to play? i really like their models and id rather be more on the feral vampire side then oops all skeletons for the soul blight
Can I get a link to the FEC battletome. I've been increasingly compelled by the idea of Blisterskin.
will wood elves ever get added to the trees? high elves are neat and everything but i have a bias for wood elves since i spent so much time listening to kerillian
>>97333972Which edition are you looking for, the current one or the past ones?
>>97333973Wrong IP address, friend. This one is for Age of Sigmar, not The Old World.
>>97334009i want wood elves in slyvaneth, did wood elves like completely get obliterated from existence? but druchi and high elves still exist?
>>97334021Hippie elves didn't disappear, they evolved into green plant elves.
>>97333994Current. I found the past ones.
>>97333900I was unaware of that. Maybe James just hates that anon in particular then.
>>97333552What is the top left mini called? It's very nice
>>97333861scanning through the various edition battle tomes, the only other art that *maybe* depicts another boat is this one where the bottom right corner looks like a carrier style ship. They recycle a ton art in each new edition battletome, maybe there's something in some side game book but it looks like there's nothing else.
>>97334145
what size of magnets do i use for bases, at least the size for a majority of bases
