>>97325450>TQGive VC.
>TQI want chaos to get rules where you have to physically impregnate whoever is on the other side of the table until one of the two players pledges themselves to one of the dark gods.
Savage Orcs
>>97321942 #This looks NOTHING like Cossacks, Poles, Kievan-Russ, etc. that Kislev is inspired by... Whatever the fuck this stupid Overwatch 2 art style supposed to be, it is NOT Warhammer Fantasy
>>97325706Correct. This is The Old World and not Warhammer Fantasy. There is a superficial similarity but like Horus Heresy it is going to branch off into its own aesthetic.
>>97325728Nice bait but unfortunately for you my IQ is above 100 so it has no effect
>>97325450>TQLizards, of course>back to the old/Renegade cold blood>adjusted Slann that's actually the best caster>better kroxis and cold one riders>salamanders and razordons that are at least remotely playable>get back all old magic items>red crested skinks>sacred spawnings>mixed kroxi and skink units
>>97325525only if they're a woman, right?
>>97325706Kislev and Cathay aesthetics are from 2019 when the Age of Sigmar design theory was more prominent.
>>97325772Feel free to be increasingly disappointed and depressed by where the game is obviously going I guess.
>>97325450>TQ I want that rumored Beastmen x WoC arcane journal so fucking bad
>>97325785Also.>Southlands Lizardmen AoI.>Can upgrade Slann to older generations.What named characters would you give the lizardmen considering that 2-3 is the norm for most armies at the moment?
>>97325450>TQ Vampires or forest goblins. Vamps are obvious, but I want a full Forest goblin sub faction with war beast centipedes, new magic lore, something like a jar of insects ammo for catapult, and warpaint.
>>97323277>you won't get much beside the lore from campaign book and few articles in White Dwarfs discussing the aftermatch of the campaignThere's also the campaign website that drop a couple or fluff bits. Can't remember if the Druchii got a lexicon for their language, but the Albion natives did.
my funny critters. i swapped the plastic command squad for older metal minis for more s o v l
>>97325450>TQWood Elves, but only if they get new plastic models at the same time
>>97325450>TQwe've already had TK and chaos so it's pretty clear the next book is either beastmen or orcs but probably beastmen since kralmaw is featured heavily in the narrative
>>97325525I don't think I could physically get impregnated but rules are rules so we'll just have to see how it goes
Why is this general so dead all of a sudden? I feel like it was more lively 5 years ago and TOW didn't even exist yet back then
>>97326701Now that it's officially supported the community moves more by the beats of the support. And there haven't been any new announcements in a while and we know nothing will be shown off at the next reveal stream
>>97325706I was very worried that this would also be a problem, but Cathay and especially the new marauders definitely gave me a lot of hope that they are keeping it grounded and not AoSifying it.
>>97326596Kino. The two different night goblin styles are unique for me in the range in that I think they are equally good and it comes down to preference. If I had to pick I’d choose the older ones, but I can understand people who prefer 7th too.
>>97326711>The community goes from being passionate hobbyists and lore enjoyers to mindless consoomers who live off product announcements and fomo Truly grim
>>97326736desu a good part of the community back in the day was just middle aged nerds still pickled in rage about AoS.
>>97326715>cathay >new marauders>gave me hope>not AoSifyingSincerely, is this bait?
>>97326756I think anon meant in terms of model design
>>97326756Yes perrynigger. They make your historical sculpts look like green army men.
>>97326809That's exactly what I'm referring to. The model design is more in line with AoS stuff than classical WHFB stuff. I suppose it's more a symptom of modern GWs CAD sculptors though than AoS vs WHFB. I won't even get started on Cathay, but new marauders specifically are oversized and overdesigned exactly like AoS models are, and that visually just doesn't fit with Warhammer Fantasy models or armies. Look at the new foot knights vs classic bret knights. Sure it's not an "AoS" style, but if you place them next to a sigmarine and a classic bret knight they look way more similar to the sigmarine in terms of size, proportions, sculpting style, etc.
>>97326864>oversized Lmao no they are not you literally have 0 idea of what you are talking about
We have a path to glory campaign coming up, starting at 500 and increasing each month. Listening to feedback from before, I have come up with the following list. [496 pts]Warhammer: The Old World, Orc & Goblin Tribes, Battle MarchOrc Bigboss, Great weapon, Light armour, Shield, General, On foot, Dead 'Ard Armour - 9618 Orc Mob, Light armour, Shields, Boss (champion), Standard bearer - 12018 Orc Mob, Light armour, Shields, Boss (champion), Standard bearer - 12010 Orc Mob, Warbows, Light armour, Skirmishers - 506 Orc Boar Boy Mob, Cavalry spears, Light armour, Shields, Boss (champion) - 110Dropped big uns for more boyz and ranks, boars got 6 and champion. Big boss gets shield to get 3+ if charged by a particularly dangerous unit with toughness 6.
TOW is such a lost cause lmao, fuck all the newfaggot zoomers who know nothing else and feel obliged to defend it
>bringing foot knights into a marauder+Cathay discussion Stop feeding perrynigger. He is intentionally trolling. He wants your attention. Ignore him and let him wither.
>>97326880Wife out with the bull? You should be playing with your son in that case not spreading your bile here.
>>97326874One need only Google a comparison pic, anon. >>97326880Fuck off perrynigger
>>97326864I’m honestly happy someone is voicing this. The direction the marauders went is so terrible.
>>97326881Does drawing comparisons and using examples make your brain hurt, brown boy? >accused of being perrynigger Schizos like you are why I'm starting to agree with him
>>97326890No, you need a proper scale comparison. If I have to explain why you’re retarded
>>97326890>>97326901It’s funny that you think you’re being slick.
>>97326903Based anon bringing receipts
>>97326903low IQ on full display
>>97326903>comparing a champion to the only one bent over and squatting down So disingenuous. I get it, you're trying to justify your purchase
>>97326929>comparing a champion Anon just outed himself as having no idea how the WoC sprue/models look like. Have you ever owned a single fantasy model perrynigger?
>>97325916If we go for classic 6th ed flavor, I'd say:Kroq-Gar>Items should still be good, the 2x combat resolution and no ward save weapon, together with the low S high AP template cyberarm>Grymloq should have something extra compared to the carnosaur, although we don't have dead rider rules here, so it should be something elseKroak>Similar to 6th, but it'd be cool to include a spectral unit of Temple Guard that goes with him. James could do an MTO run of the 6th ed metal Temple Guard (the best ones) since they fit so well.And then you could do pretty much anyone else since most of the Slann would've been alive during the TOW timeline, probably Tehenhauin works if you're also releasing Skaven soon, but Mazda/Nakai are good picks as well.
>>97326922>>97326929>n…no that picture is fake Lmaooooooooooooooo
>>97326929>comparing a champion
>>97326903Do you have an old marauder?
Perrynigger outed and running for the hills lmaooooo
>>97326877I like that list, but just a slight change I'd make. This way he always gets the benefit of the shield (not parry), and the 2 ap (with ab1 on top of that) at the cost of 1 orc. Just throw him in with that unit and you get the nice symmetry feel.Path to Glory [499 pts]Orc Bigboss, Light armour, General, On foot, Biting Blade, Dead 'Ard Armour - 10518 Orc Mob, Light armour, Shields, Boss (champion), Standard bearer - 12017 Orc Mob, Light armour, Shields, Boss (champion), Standard bearer - 11410 Orc Mob, Warbows, Light armour, Skirmishers - 506 Orc Boar Boy Mob, Cavalry spears, Light armour, Shields, Boss (champion) - 110
>>97326971No, I really disliked the old sculpts. The marauders on foot not the cavalry, the marauder cav was good pre update too.
>>97326660This, but only if they go back to proper looking woodelves and ditch the gay leather mask and stitched together rags.
>>97326929>comparing a championlike pottery
>>97326974Thanks for the reply but, the big boss is missing the shield? Or was that intentional? If I do that im over by a point. >biting BladeOh damn...din't think of that. Loses strength 6 though. No GW? 15 points for Str4, AP -2 vs 4 points of AP -2 and +2 strength.
>>97327008NTA but I like the biting blade more than a GW at that point level. The frequency of encountering things that will let the GW pay off is much lower than things that the biting blade will do better against imo.
>perrynigger is when you criticise TOW leave le GW alone!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>97327008Oh, i did forget the shield my bad. Slight swap around here improving boar boys a bit by dropping the orc one champion.Path to Glory [500 pts]Orc Bigboss, Light armour, Shield, General, On foot, Biting Blade, Dead 'Ard Armour - 10718 Orc Mob, Light armour, Shields, Boss (champion), Standard bearer - 12017 Orc Mob, Light armour, Shields, Standard bearer - 10710 Orc Mob, Warbows, Light armour, Skirmishers - 506 Orc Boar Boy Mob, Cavalry spears, Light armour, Shields, Boss (champion), Standard bearer - 116You still have the 5 Strength on the charge, and not having strikes last and the shield is huge.
>>97327047Ahahahaha aren’t you embarrassed after you were exposed to have never seen fantasy models irl? You had the right idea initially slinking away, but please keep posting your “ opinions “ so we can make fun of you some more.
>>97327040Im curious to explore this. Granted a lot of my players in me local are arms racers, but my process is the Orc boss and his unit are likely to get charged. Assuming that, he is striking last anyway but hits back weaker at Str4 but same AP for 3 x the cost of a GW. Inversely, with GW, if im being charged by a hardy unit, I can swap to shield and HW to simply tank the hit. If they're not lancers or ironguts, i can pull out the GW and do considerable retaliatory damage.
>>97327058That’s fair, I know it’s not helpful but I suppose that what your local meta looks like is the most relevant factor. You have ogre players locally?
>>97327054My brother of green, first, thanks for keeping in on the repky thread. But where is the big boss getting +1 str on the charge? He is Str4 by default, choppa improves AP on charge, less im missing a rule.
>>97327074Yeah, im in our local scenes whatsapp group.Some guy is bringing a pair of fucking mournfangs to the 500 points PTG. Unreal desu. Only consolation is his bruiser is naked but still ludicrous.
>>97326942>>97326955>>97326973>>97326991>>97326973Kek like moths to a flame
>>97327096this general was better when perrynigger actually posted here and posted his shitty models and naked body rather than these schizo idiots obsessed with his ghost
>>97327077Dangit, I play beastmen so I saw furious charge and thought it was bestial charge. Though I do think furious charge is better. With orcs, getting the charge is an enormous importance. You're fairly likely to get it too with Warband. Choppa more than makes up for the str difference with the reroll 1s to wound.
>>97327113Replying to yourself is poor form
>>97327085>pair of fucking mournfangs What a cunt. Do you guys run renegade rules for legacy?
>>97327114No biggy beastbro. Ngl, if this orc thing isnt gonna work out, despite spending close to 390 euro on this army...i may go beastmen. Good god i hope they're at least fun though.Boars were 10010 arrers were 30Warboss and banner 50Big uns command and 10 were 120Boyz box 75Prob coulda skipped getting metal bug uns and just get boyz but jesus they look swell.
>>97327121>what a cuntTad harsh but he did say he's only using what he painted...of course. Don't get me wrong, we all want to win but, jesus. >renegadesI don't think so. Just all vanilla.
>>97327131>all vanillaAh ok, well he’s not a cunt then that’s fair. The OK legacy list is brutal after the 1.5 faq changes. An army full of monstrous infantry supported only as legacy in an edition where monstrous infantry is among the weakest type.
>>97326864I think what you're seeing is 20 years of technological advancement in miniature making. They look like AoS minis because they are modern minis.
>>97327142>>97326929He outed himself here as being a clueless troll
>>97327128Orcs are way more fun army to build, paint, and play unless you 100% know you like beastmen or like current WAAC. >MournfangDepends who gets the charge, but the 6 boar boy mob is better. If you get the charge he should straight lose the cavalry fight, and if he charges it comes down to how lucky he gets on the impact hits. If that's what your worried about going up against, drop the standard on the boars and take heavy armour. Makes them basically equal (fear does nothing for his side due to US), but yours have counter charge, choppa, Furious, and can disrupt flank cause they are US 12 instead of US 6.
>>97327165My boars are kitted with all the juice man. 6 with Heavy armour, cav spears, shield and champion. My impression of boar boyz is, they arent a "delete this" unit like Chaos Knights but more versatile and, ironically, as durable. I also realised woth counter charge, even if he gets +3 initiative, because boar boyz got Initiative 3, 1 higher by ogres, even a 1 on the D3 (D3+1 counter charge) means outaide impact hits, we'll strike together.Those impact hits hurt like a bitch though with AP -1 with -1 armour bane.
>>97327211Yeah, its the impact hits that make the difference in a 1 on 1 charge. You also have warband though so you can set up for longer charges than he can even though he has 1 higher movement. You only need 4 wounds in your 25 attacks to bring down one of his cav, and 8 wounds is possible with luck since you get the reroll 1s.
>>97327247>25 attacksI WISH! I get 13 from the orcs+ boss and 6 from boars. 19 assuming impact doesn't shit on me. Its close but, 6 more attacks would be sexy.
>>97327257My bad, my brain is burnt out from work. For some reason i counted the extra attacks on the orcs twice, either way 8 is still doable on 19 attacks. You have the AP 2 on your boys and 1 on the boars where he only gets the AP 1 on the mounts unless he's going great weapons which is terrible for this model if you ask me, but debating ironfist v great weapon is a separate thing entirely.
>>97327278No biggy man. Thanks for the discussion, its reassuring when i fight my friends ogres next and the boars didnt bust my bank for nothing. Have a good un, its mad late here.
>>97327307Hey, one of the best parts of the game is this right here. The list building and theorycrafting.
>>97326987oh this arts cool i like then in animal skins and stuff
>>97326987>>97327351NTA but I need to get the 5th edition Wood Elf army book, I assume it's from there. the 4/5th edition books have so much cool art and lore.
>>97327142>because they are modern Wrong, it's because they are modern GW™ minis. Pic related are modern minis too
>Pic related are modern minis too>drawingsLmao
This makes me want to start a Cathayan army.
Now that the dust has well and truly settled, why did TOW flop?
>>97327936I rather dislike the huge centerpiece models - the lantern is both ugly and broken rules-wise, I've heard the golem is a nightmare to assemble. But I reckon one could build a versatile force that is from the grand Cathay roster once wave 2 is released.
>>97325450>TQRAROO
>>97327936cathay is so peak.I almost want to buy and paint a second sentinel but I dont want to assemble it lol
>>97328013>citing a source that doesn't even provide survey countI am laughing but not at what you think double digit iq anon.
>>97328044>>97328210I don't like the balloon personally. It's too big and doesn't really feel like it fits to me in a rank and flank. I love the sentinels from a thematic and aesthetic pov though, Cathay is pretty cool overall. Looking at new faction in 40k and AoS, Cathay came out surprisingly decent.
>>97328221I like my balloon, that I painted, but transporting that thing to the club is a bitch.
>>97326751I was only 23.
>>97326701I've just started lurking again the past couple days to see what it's like atm. Was here some of last year/2024, most of 2022-23, plenty of time 2019 and further back.I don't think it's to do with any downtime between TOW releases. I think it's more a few bad apples poisoning the general and have driven people away. It's just not a very nice place to be any more, and each time I come back I find myself turning into a more negative person until I step away for a while again. There are some good anons who are interested in hobbying and gaming and will interact with each other positively, but that aspect gets overshadowed by the negativity, arguing, trolling. Even the slightest opinion on what someone would like to see in the next AJ or post of a painted model invites sarcastic negative responses, at a way higher proportion of overall posts than in years gone by. Part of me thinks it's because some anons in here are constantly on edge due to having had their own negative experiences in threads gone by and now feel the need to bristle at people to protect their feelings, and they forget to reset their emotions when talking to new anons in a new thread so that air of tension carries over from thread to thread. Then when the perryfag gets going, the tension can boil over and a whole thread can become a write-off, and nothing seems to be being done about him from the mods so it's not a problem that's likely to change any time soon. Overall, not how I like to interact with my hobby sadly and I wouldn't be surprised if many others have distanced from this general for the same reason. It could even be that instead of consciously distancing themselves from here, now that TOW has launched it's easier for them to find other groups to interact with to get their square based fix with less toxicity, so they've just naturally gravitated away. Being honest it doesn't really look like the issues have changed much here so I'd be inclined to stay distanced unfortunately.
>>97327450To be pedantic, those are artistic renditions of models.
>>97325843The last time you tried to make this distinction you wanted to contrast foot knights with lady elise until someone pointed out those are both from the same year
>>97328343t. schizo
>>97328343Foot knights and Elise both being launch models doesn't mean they were designed anywhere near the same time. It not wrong to say that you think the knights were designed far earlier than Elise. Because the design language is completely different.
>>97328401Finno-Korean Altaic truth from Sino Hyperborea
>>97328409Sorry I don't know what that means I just wanted to say some slurs and this is the only place on the internet you can do that now
>>97328279Nta, but it's a pity that you feel this way. A general is defined by its anons, and having one less 'spergy' person in it is a tad sad.I do feel like there was a shift before and after TOW. I myself wasn't present on the Fantasy threads when Fantasy was still supported - only started coming to /wfg/ a few months before TOW was revealed - but I want to believe that it was still better than now.
>>97327054>45 Boyz in a 500pt listJesus christ my list would get spanked
>>97326701It's not this general specifically, the whole board has been on a decline for a while.If you go through the archives this becomes readily apparent. /wfg/ used to get 2 or 3 threads a day in 2018 or so, even when the game was as dead as it ever would be. /aosg/ similarily would get 3 or 4 a day. Now both of those hover around the inverse, a thread maybe every 2 days, unless a major release happens or a shitposter stirs the whole thread into shitflinging.40kg is the only one still putting up numbers like that, but it's basically permanently on fire. Good amount of modelpostin though.
Post dudes!
>>97328513I havnt had much time to do the few remaining Gors and Ungors for my 500pt battle march list, works been fookin hectic.Realistically I'll be done in March and then I can finally have some games (though I'll need to ask around in a local Facebook group or similar)
>>97326701I have been coming to this general for years, used to post games and minis etc but I've largely stopped and only intermittently pop in. This general sucks now since there are one or 2 schizos here who froth at the mouth and call you perrynigger if you talk about anything not made by GW or voice an opinion on TOW thats not glowing praise. Try it out for yourself, next general ask "what are some good non GW minis for Empire" and watch as the schizo accusations come flying in
>>97328513Snagrog Deadeye, Warboss of the Skull Smashaz tribe, has garnered a reputation as an unusually cunning and crude Orc.Once working as a mercenary for gold and grub, he fought alongside several others in the Battle of Burnheim, a young city in the most northern part of the Emoire. Although the city was eventually destroyed, it was due to his efforts that the chaos incursion was repelled, after headbutting the Chaos Lord in the eve of battle.After recovering from his injuries, Snagrog continued his mercenary work, sometimes for free if it meant a good fight and he accumulated a vast array of armours, weapons and trophies, mainly during his time in the Border Princes.However, after one too many who hired him sought to betray him or take his life, Snagrog chopped and smashed his way back to the Badlands. After bashing some orcs around, he began to gather a small following and now is filled with the urge to go seek more big fights but this time, not alone...
>>97328401>faction created specifically with the goal of not hurting the feelings of chinamen>aryanAt least put some thought into your shitpost
>>97328610respecting other peoples culture is a white mens trait
>>97326701the constant whining about cathay and AoS instead of talking about the game is a bit of a turn off. but its not like other generals are better. there they are just posting r34 instead of talking about the game.
>>97328647Nta but r34 is preferable of 1-3 people purposelly derailing threads. I appreciate anonymity is a plus but sometimes, with the accessibiliyy of other alternatives, makes you wonder if its worth it. With even a 2% smidgen of moderation, /tg/ could be much better. Insta ban derailers who prob make up less than 1/100th of /tg/, job done.
>>97328602I bet my dude would love to battle your dude! Good looking warboss Anon, got any Boyz as well?
>>97326701I got a starter box of beastmen waiting for me back home but been visiting my parents and friends in my home town for the past month or so
>>97328707I'd relish the chance to scrap with Kharur! Sadly no boyz yet, they're in the post but here is Snagrog and his banner waer, Bobog (name still pending)
>>97328602>>97328794Adorable anon, though I’d highly recommend painting those trophy skulls on his shoulder - at least the hair and bone. Looks a bit flat.I’m working on stormvermin, batch painting 20 slowly.(I had 21 but I did up the champion as a test scheme.
>>97328810>adorableHeh, that's a neat compliment. I will let Snagrog know, will prep him for his first battle! Make him ANGRY!Yeah the heads look quite clayish, what i get for not restocking my paints. I will mind though i legit fell in love with orcs putting those lads together. Can't wait to get the army together. Appreciate the feedback.
>>97328845If you lack paints, then just reuse the browns you used on the wood to the hair, maybe apply two or three layers of shade to make it a bit different from the browns on the woods.
Anon, share your wisdom and teach me how to win on Classic Empire. All these elves, undead, and orcs are tearing me apart!(PIC my General)
>>97328279>>97328499>>97328582>>97328666It's pretty unfortunate that we let perrynigger single handedly tear apart and destroy a community that been going strong for 15 years
>>97329038It's not really perrynigger though, he doesn't even post anymore. It's the mindbroken autist(s) obsessed with him shutting down any conversation because wrongthink.
>>97329112shut it, perrynigger
>>97325450>TQBesides the beastmen and WoC fusion list, I’d like a follow up to the War of Settra’s Fury, alongside a couple new TK kits.
>>97329155And there we have it
>>97329112Those anons doesn't even realized they have become a bigger problem than perryfag ever was. Perryfag was a troll, but I believe it was always lighthearted and he actually posted content, his garage table, his historical models and even his naked body lmao. These news guys are just constant negativity and seething, they post and contribute nothing.
>>97329224>his garage table*garbage table
>>97329224Yeah, perryfag was a retard but he was our retard. He might have said dumb shit sometimes but at least he was good value for a chuckle and actually posted models. If he still lurks I'm sure he's absolutely pissing himself laughing that he lives rent-free in the mind of some idiots in this general (watch as they accuse of being perrynigger samefagging)
Which base style do you prefer? The cavalry base is the same as the GW skeleton, ditto for the rightmost skeleton and empty base except I accidentally gave the skeleton base a second drybrush. Thinking middle or right, then I'd need to decide on a rim color.
>>97327128>Prob coulda skipped getting metal bug uns and just get boyz but jesus they look swell.You did good, you should use what looks cool rather than what is meta.
>>97329112>>97329224>>97329239samefagging perrynigger
>>97329245Was trying to match something like this.
>>97329292it doesn't look like your cracked earth paint cracked
>>97327450anon. Those are drawings.
>>97328666>with the accessibiliyy of other alternatives, makes you wonder if its worth itWe get it, you like Reddit
>>97329299Oh most did, it's just hard to see. The couple with uncracked bases are due to testing various surfaces for the paste. Turns out it cracks nicely with some PVA under it.
>>97329245>>97329446The cavalry base style. God, these are kino. Love me skeletons.. love me vampires.. love me undead.. SOVL
I need to start an undead army project. Time to start scouring the Internet for sick skeletons and ghouls. GWs ones are too overpriced and the new AoS shit for sale just doesn't have that classic vibe
>>97329381Worse Whatsapp
>>97329514check red bard games
>>97329514Diehard miniatures
>>97329514The soulblight gravelord skeletons are especially egregious because skeletons are so easy to do well, probably easier than literally anything, and yet they fucked them up hard. Skeletons need to be mostly NAKED with the occasional helmet or greave, elite skellies can have a helmet and cuirass and they should all have an air of silliness to them
i like warhammer a lot. in fact…you could say its my…..Fantasy
>>97329601Fantasy Holy Roman Empire is so fucking cool and iconic. It's such a shame and a mystery that GW wants to move away from this aesthetic so badly.
