>ogres are getting here todayI'm getting nothing done at work today
>>97349064i think this was the only time the two factions interacted, yet it feels like an iconic rivalry between them
>>97349155its iconic because it literally launched the Ossiarchs.

aos has too many great looking armies. I don't even have any StD but i got and painted this on a weekend and now Ive ordered ogroids and chaos warriors as well
>>97349064I just hope BCR don't get utterly shafted.
>>97345717thanks, thats a good rundown, i really like the faction for the Trolls, silly goblins and squigs, i wasnt going to use the wolves regardless as i dont like them too muchI was hoping to make a mixed force but i suppose its better to focus on one of the subfaction? ia there some list where i can mix the squig guys and trolls and it would work well?
>>97349064Hell yeah brotherrrr.
>>97349369They’re supposedly one of the things getting featured with the refresh.
>>97349064I was seeing this girl and she was interested in warhammer so we played this then I was like "Oh I'm probably not gonna get round to painting the undead in hte box so you can" and then a few weeks later she ghosted me and took the OBR lol.
>>97349064I have a feeling that ossiarch will be the next big bad guys for the next edition starter boxes, If so I would like to see cities of sigmar of aquatic elves instead of stormcucks>>97349168god bless you, anon
Do seraphon have any ways to deal with wizards besides having slaan deal with them?
>>97349407Nta you were originally talking to but gits run fine mixed, if anything probably better off mixed, each one of the elements on their own have serious weaknesses (troggs are slow, squigs can't hold objectives, moonclan do zero damage, etc) and kinda compliment each other. Also subfaction bonuses aren't what they used to be, you're not as punished for taking things that aren't benefited by the subfaction as you were in 3rd or 2nd edition
>>97349654You can just stab them to death
>>97349654Skink mages.
Is there a good “offbrand” option for Retributor gold? Not even painting Stormies with them, it’s just a really nice shade of gold.
>>97349654what wizards are you struggling to deal with? wizards are usually summoning or buffing units in this game, theyre not significant sources of damage on their own (usually)
>>97349769The new Vallejo True Metal Metallic Imperial Gold might be good. Theres also Army Painter Fanatic Greedy Gold.
>>97349769Duncans/TTC Dragon's Gold is pretty close but it's of higher quality and comes in a dropper. To be fair TTC bottles are pretty shit but still better than those godforsaken pots
>>97349096Well, not really a fear but I know the rules won't be super exciting.Model wise, if it's Arkhan on the rumored chariot I hope he looks like a lich still. One of my favorite characters. I hope the chariot is also not just a regular chariot but something the ossiarchs improved on, like how the crawler is an improved trebuchet.Aside from that I would hate it if the new models look more like the warcry band. They should resemble the first wave of ossiarchs, and they need to get off the elite unit wank or atleast release both mortek and elite units at the same time. No reason we can't have big dudes and mortek archers, tired of the army being a custodes like model count. I can't think of an army with a bigger disconnect between art/lore portrayal and how they've ran on the tabletop.
How's this as a barebones beginning for an FEC? I'm not aiming beyond 1k and I have an assortment of ghoul king models in the china cabinet.
Just a cheeky wip for WHQ. What are you working on?
>check GW prices for BoK>spearhead box lets me play spearhead>but Goreblade box has exclusive models and saves me £30Obviously gonna check elsewhere for better pricing but Karanak & Co are outbudgeted for sure. Sorry, not sorry, pupper.
>>97349064Incredibly based two player box
>>97349155It's either an epic rivalry or a badass alliance.> OBR with ogre mercenaries: you get all the meat, we get the bones
Anons 2 paint questionsHaving some rat minis, some of them of course have warpstone, is moot green or tesseract glow good for the highlight/edges?2nd question would be green color too but for Orruks, usually ogryn camo good for the skin or would you recommend other? I'm trying for the classy strong green orrruk look
>>97349622It'd surprise me if ossiarchs will be in thr starter if they're also getting a decently sized wave now desu. >idoneth in the starterWill never happen but holy shit yes please>>97349954Can you find the old spearhead somewhere? Seems like a really nice box, the new karanak one feels a bit too niche in comparison.
>>97349064Im surprised they gave the ogors artillery considering the amount of minis is ""low"", but bonereapers sure got decent amountThen again, we had artillery in fantasy too with low amount of units in some starter sets
>>97349064Come to think of it gw hasn't done these in a while, I guess outside of starter boxes it seeks they moved away from the VS box concept? Even tows starter boxes were separate ones iirc.They could be pretty sovlful but from the customer's pov they were always kind of a pain in the ass to be honest.
>>97349654ripperdactyls and a 30 inch flying charge
>>97350047tesseract glow is a watery effect paint. you apply it over white and it does both the darker green and yellow edges. it separates like a motherfucker too so you gotta make sure to really stir it up each time you use it. i would watch a video on tesseract glow, its a cool paint but it doesnt behave like a normal paint at all, its a two tone separating stain more than a regular paintmoot green is fairly bright to start, but if you highlight it with yellow it should work. another option would be the warpstone contrast which is somewhat darker and then drybrush or highlight that with moot green and then yellowdepending on what color you want your orruks, you may actually want to check out warpaint fanatics, they have a pretty good amount of orky greensif you want to stick with citadel, i usually start with elysian green, hit with with earthshade, and then highlight with ogryn camo and thats a good nuetral green skin tone. there's also an official orruk flesh color paint but i found it to be kindad minty. if i had to paint my orruks over again though i'd probably just go with warpaint or AK gen 3 or one of the other ranges. citadel paints are so hit or miss and have kinda shit coverage and consistency
>>97350047pic related is my elysian green base with ogryn camo highlights if you wanted to see what that looks like
>>97350163They still do them plenty in Kill Team, I think the issue is scale. It’s easy for a game that lets you sample other factions but not have to commit, while a AoS or 40k VS box has a much larger commitment.
>>97350279And of course it's nearly how all of Warcry 2.0's new warbands were rolled out. RIP Warcry but fuck the Gnarlwood tho
>>97349032Thats obviously a Deathwing teaser
>>97350297Gw is petty enough to pull something like that lol. Don’t discount it until the stream says otherwise or it leaks.
>>97350262>>97350272Good shit anon, thank you for the infoFantastic painting on the minis too!
>>97350279True, I think you're right with the scale thing. Easier to convince your buddy to share a kill team compared to a whole normal boxset. Or alternatively, easier to paint/play the two warbands yourself.>>97350297Lmao that actually fits pretty well
>>97349207Nice lighting effect, luv me green fire
>>97350044Daughters of Khaine and Blades of Khorne compete to join and get all the blood
>>97350044until they learn how to make bone bread
>>97350616Bloodgullet won't stand for it.
>>97350761They got there already. You're behind the times.
>>97349860I really didn't like the ossiarch warband either, probably my least favourite warcry release. Just looked off imo. The underworlds ossiarch on the other hand look great. Mir kainan is probably the best looking obr mini and he's also different from their usual look, just executed way better. Pulls of the whole skeleton construct thing very well.
>>97349155It was fun.
>>97349207Look forward to seeing what you do with ogroids, I think you're the first person I've seen here pick them up
>>97349155>>97350920It was the peak of AoS (well maybe Wrath of the Everchosen a few months later was), of course it's memorable and iconic.
Alright friends my FLGS had a sale on AoS so I figured I'd get started. Any advice on StD? Also anyone have the current tome?
>>97351066>it was the peak of aosNot so fast...
>>97349407Yeah you're actually better off running a mix of guys in 4th because of the way the badmoon phases work. Moonclan and trogs run well together and having a bunch of trots means you don't need to run dozens and dozens of stabbas to fill your list
>>97351079I get the argument, but I'd say malign portents was the deathrattles of old GW rather than peak AoS if that makes sense. Certainly the overall era of mid-late 2nd edition AoS from Feast of Bones to Broken Realms: Morathi was basically the last time the game was actually good.
>>97351105The whole broken realms thing was really good as I remember. To be fair to the aos team third editions whole beast thing being an absolute mess wasn't entirely their fault what with corona and (if rumours are to be believed) the tow beastmen divorce. No excuses for 4th edition's tomes though that shit's on them.
>>97350297Kek
>>97351070Focus on the armored stuff, pass on the half naked tribal units and monsters. All the core big armor and shield units like warriors, knights, varanguard and chosen are your bread and butter, along with the matching heroes. Belakor is also a must have when you can afford it, as is probably a demon princeThe darkoath stuff is undercooked and paying for the sins of previous editions where marauders were obscene
>>97351327Im suprised, is that the reason many tribes got sent to legends because they weren't that good?Also as for chosen i feel they should have some marauders to absorb ranged because of their movement and quantity?
>>973511734th edition really illustrates that they need to clean house. the battletomes in 4th are driving home the point that rose and his team in 3rd edition were just riding off the coat tails of 2nd editions design, and when actually allowed to make their own edition they made possibly the most soulless creatively bankrupt husk of a warhammer edition the company has ever seen across all of its franchises. i tried to give them the benefit of the doubt with the indexes because it was meant to just be a temporary holdover until the tomes, but then when the tomes started coming out and were just as if not more stripped down and unimaginitive than the indexes, it really showed that this was the vision, and i dont think theres any saving this design team. they need a clean slatei mean for fucks sake ironjawz army rules arent even a third of a page. every subfaction is a 3 line paragraph and half of them are recycled across multiple armies. they trimmed artifacts and traits down to a meager 3 per army and they still cant make them goodand i swear to god if i see once per (army) on another standard army filling unit like what they did to blightkings and thunderers im fuckin marching down to nottingham myself
>>97351426No, that's because those 'tribes' were actually originally part of a sidegame called warcry. The gist was a bunch of chaos warbands fighting over glory, showing off some chaos stuff that's not just the big four. But obviously that makes it more niche to use in aos itself, so there wasn't really a point to keep producing all these kits when StD players likely only wanted one of them at most. The game also got soft-discontinued in the meanwhile.Anyway, not all of the boxes are gone though. Lots of the non-chaos warcry warbands (which came later) got fully integrated into their respective armies, like the hunters of huanchi who are in the second seraphon spearhead. Same story for the nurgle or khorne warcry guys.
