i love all the releases for OBR. The only thing i could want for OBR now are elite mortek, bow stalkers and maybe some sort of transport beast.
>>97385138What would elite mortek even look like? Shooty Stalkers is a given and we're still waiting on that one eyed Mammoth skeleton with the ribcages acting as the transport hold for morteks to stab/shoot shit through.
>>97385155i was thinking that they could be an undead version of the CoS command corp or maybe something like undead chosen.
>>97385155Ushabti but trans
Not an OBR player but happy for them, I am less happy for lumineth or tzeentch players. I haven't been following the game closely for that long but LRL getting a single hero has got to sting, I don't think anyone was expecting a huge refresh with tyrion but still
shame they didnt give OBR an army box like they did with gitmob, SBGL and helsmith.
>>97385189> but LRL getting a single hero has got to stingnot really. the LRL range is one of the biggest and most complete in the game. they got multiple back to back waves at the end of 2nd and beginning of 3rd as well as a warcry wave, and really there's just very little they are missing3 different named hero monsters, 2 of which have generic variantsnamed and generic cavalry heroi think like 5 different generic foot wizardsseveral non wizard support heroes2 very good named character combat heroes2 different light melee infantry units2 different elite melee infantry units1 ranged infantry unit1 artillery piece2 different cavalry units, 1 melee 1 rangedterrain and spellsits really a full range, they want for almost nothing. i dont really know what they could even add at this point, maybe some elite 3 man heavy cavalry or flying cavalry like eagle riders or something? there arent really any gaps in the range left.
>>97385189Lumineth had gotten their second wave almost instantly after their initial release, so it is fine for them to get a generic hero and nothing much more for now. I'd rather have a new release for deepkin.
>>97385116I really like Bonereapers, but I hate every single model they put out. They look like the old chunky WFB zombie kits instead of looking badass they look like 80's action figures to me...
>>97385197they'll probably announce one soon. army book+model wave always equals an army box.
>>97385209would be nice but didnt they always announce the army box with the initial reveal?
>>97384543No, the ushabti shit was people on here speculating. First leaker (boole) specifically said "ruststalker assassins", an ossairch chariot, and archers with 3 eyes. Then the second leaker (reformation) came along and clarified the numbers. If there is one thing that the leakers ARE actually probably wrong about it's that they assumed the archsrs were a 10 man kit when it looks like they're going to come in groups of 20.
Gamers how do I get good at playing CoS I keep getting my ass blasted and the last points nerfs didn't help
does anyone have a scan of the previous OBR battletomes? specifically ones which contain the how to paint section. I am looking for inspiration on paint schemeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0QbBNstgJQ
>>97385116I like to imagine the leged bowls fallow the around like dogs
>>97385209>army book+model wave always means an army boxI guess it depends on how you define wave but idoneth and kharadrons both got releases beyond the typical pity hero and didn't get an amy box. Nurgle also got a fuckton and no box, though I guess that's a bit of a special case with darkwater essentially serving that function. The HoH box was also kind of weird since it was literally just a spearhead + battletome.
>>97385116how does it fly.
>>97385321Like this
Did helsmiths sell well enough to get a second wave? I know they're already scanned by multiple people.
>>97385321Morteks throw them very far
>>97385348
>>97385274gofile io d bMUtr2
>>97385348second waves in aos take way longer to happen and it's not a given that something might get a second waveyou should expect helsmiths to stay as they are for years to come
Honestly wasn't expecting those guys to be part of the releas.
>>97385348Took like 7 years for OBR getting anything substantial. You gotta wait.
>>97385348honestly from what i can tell Helsmiths seemed to have done pretty well. I could imagine them getting another wave in the next edition
>>97385411It's a weirdly anonymous unit
>>97385387At least it has a well rounded range to start with with infantry, ranged infantry, cavalry, a cannon, a centerpiece, and a monster all with weapon options or dual builds. Not like ironjaws or fyreslayers which launched with one dimension rosters and no second wave.
>>97385490The "second wave" would probably be spells, scenery and another heroif warcry was still a thing then they could have gotten a warcry unit, but otherwise the army is done for
>>97385559THEY DID GET A WARCRY UNIT GOD FUCKING DAMN IT
>>97385116>AoS has way better sculpts than 40k >the sculpts in question
>>97385595Yes
>>97385595YesEven Horus Heresy and TOW have better sculpts than 40k since 40keks buy every slop.
>>97385652Horus Heresy us just a subset of 40k
Is helsmiths supposed to have a style, seems like they launched with basically everything.
>>97385116
>>97385677Its not, its a different studio.
I wish OBR was crazier, don't get me wrong I liked everything shown but considering these guys make handmade creations that aren't limited by the usual anatomical designs, it just seems like a let down to have everything looks like "person/animal but made of bone". He'll I'll be satisfied by just mixing up and warping exisiting entities, like making the archers arms bigger/longer, the different head is a decent I just want crazier, maybe conversions could work for me.Still happy with this release though.
>>97385597>>97385652Whatever you say buckos. Meanwhile intercessors outsell the entire AoS range.
>>97385794>thing sells better therefore it has a better sculptshow us your funko pop collection while you're at it
Cool to see Ossiarchs getting archers and chariots to finally 'complete' them as the AoS TK successors
>>97385872I want them to hurry up and refresh TK’s already so I can use them as OBR. The current OBR range is really bad imo. Probably the ugliest army GW sells for any range. Confused and uninspired.
>>97385882(you). you dont even deserve capitalization for your low effort bait.
>>97385794Yes and we're very happy that the marine paypiggies continue to subsidize the other games. Now chop chop go buy some sanguinary guard, that ogre refresh isn't going to make itself!
dam looking back at the 2nd ed obr rules, and it is actually crazy just exactly how stripped down 4th ed faction rules are honestly sad
>>97385782i get you, they've got an army thats all about mad artisans and craftsmen creating weapons of war and sieging with bones and we just get catapults and chariots? no living bone battering ram (imagine scoprions with gatecrushing pincers and a ballista like tail) Giant flying vultures dropping bone bombs and many more.Kinda dissapointing. Also i feel like crossbows would fit OBR more than bows and arrows.
>>97385794Damn you're right! And call of duty is the best game ever!
Does anybody have a scan or pdf of the Kharadron Overlords battletome?Would really appreciate it as I'm trying to get back into the game
>>973843687th/8th edition whfb had a fair amount of triple kits, some of which are still in the game. AoS-only kits I can only think of the big pig and the megagargants.There's the vampire parade float, the arkhan/neffy/manfred monster thingy, the celestial hurricanum back when cos had the other options (though that one has some whacky sprue stuff going on). The Arachnarok builds like 4 different varieties.Seraphon in particular have a bunch of 3+ build kits. There's 3 varieties of stegadon, 3 varieties of carnosaur/troglodon (plus an extra oldblood AND a skink oracle though that one is "unofficial"). The terradon/ripperdactyl kit also builds 4 warscrolls technically, as both have a chief variant.But yes pure aos only triple warscroll kits are the big pig and megagargants off the top of my head. Like another anon said there's a couple sculpts that could have easily had another version, slap a helmet and a sword in the vhordrai kit for a generic vampire lord, or give tahlia another head option for a generic marshal on manticore.
>>97386027Here:https://gofile.io/d/DCElRq
>>97386063Thanks a bunch!
Shit, these new Bonereapers might make me start them. Fucking love these models. And that chariot! I risk CONSUMING but whatever, I've no pride to lose.
>>97386027>>97386063>>97386073Fuck wrong one:https://gofile.io/d/Dlkj34
Lol "Tzeentch is getting a Silver Tower as faction terrain!" anon is on suicide watch.
>>97385882Tomb kings are intensely visually boring.
>>97386109As close as you can realistically get honestly, but yeah not exactly the cool concept art drawings that one guy was so excited about.
>>97385595Yep. Archers alone are better than whatever the hell red corsairs are supposed to be, somehow they’re even more disappointing than blood angels but I guess quantity equals quality for people who like “chaos” marines lmao.
>>97385782Your right, especially when we have deathrattle for normal skeleton vibes. Seems odd we have 2 skeleton factions essentially.
>>97386109They said on stream it's a silver tower reference
>>97386090I hate them. It's daft bone constructs would were cloth but even moreso facemasks. Nagash doesn't care about subterfuge and assassinations, it's about dominion. OBR are designed to win wars regardless of the attrition - the attrition is half the point. No one can resist Nagash. These assassins just contradict everything about that. It's not the bone tithe collectors sieging your city for centuries, the inevitability of your concession a footnote in a scheduling report, it's stealthy assassins taking out targets to undermine that. People don't accept Nagash, they merely negotiate with unforeseen circumstances. It's not the inevitable entropy of all things towards death 0/10
>obr second waveFoot hero, sizeable dual build warmachine, 5 man specialist unit, 10/20 man ranged unit>idoneth second wave2 foot heroes and a spell lmaoSeriously would it have killed them to put even a single normal unit in the sea elf "wave", just ctrl c ctrl v the ikon 5 times and voila you lazy fucks
>>97386203Death can also be sudden and unexpected, but I like your points.The cloths would help to cover them and help them conceal theamselves in the environment, if you need a reason for them, I'd have liked to see more inhuman shaped assasins, since most factions are already used to looking for concealed humanoid shaped enemies.
>>97386266You could be hedonites and be shit for almost 2 years of this edition now
>>97386310Wasn't the aos world championship won by slaanesh? Either way, I think they've actually got a solid range. Some units could use refreshes but they've got a lot of variety. You want basic infantry? You got like 5 options. Cav? 3 or 4, in addition to some chariots. Same with monsters and characters if you're so inclined.
>>97386203it says clearly that nagash created them in response to skaventide as assassins to kill hiding skaven characters and fend off Eshin skaven
>>97386276Yeah, same with the smoke flask thing
>>97386171>>97385985Glad I'm seeing the same sentiment, maybe they get the message in about 7 years and we see some more wacky constructs. It'd be so easy too, take an existing skeleton or two, mash the bones together like a potato head and see what cool shit you can do. Hell I'll start doing it myself if they won't.
>>97386361>nagash reduced to imitating rats
>>97386375the rats famously trolled nagash twice anon
>>97386372yeah, I think deathrattle should have chariots as they're the trad bronze aged army but OBR should have chariots (incomprehensible multi limbed monstrosity) I saw a mock up of the trebuchet base with spearmen riding it which fits better. Instead we get a regular ass chariot and regular ass assassins and regular ass foot heroes with shields and swords
>>97385794Refer to>40keks buy every slop
>>97386389I love the part in soul wars where the chaos gods are just laughing at nagash as he detects skaven in the black pyramid and thinks he's dealt with them all Poor demented nagash
I'm terrible at bases does this look like a river of blood?
>>97386412it does look like a river of blood. great looking mini too.
>>97386372I've been complaining about a similar thing the past few threads, making your specialist construct army just humanoid is kind of a missed opportunity imo. It may have taken them 30 years but I really liked that they finally started making necrons with weird fucked up bodyplans recently, like the scorpion lord dude.That being said I don't know how popular this line of thought it with current obr players, maybe they want more normal roman/japanese/egyptian pseudo-skeleton guys idk.
>>97386407i dont think ive ever seen that art work; id like to see it
>>97386397Got the pic of the mock by any chance or know where I could find it? What you wrote yielded nothing.
>>97386475Its from a book, not art>>97386482Its from his own imagination, not a model/conversion etc.
>>97386488He said it was a mockup, I've seen similar things in the past
>all the OBR assassins are made from the weird black bones to better hide in the dark
>>97385411The hoods are extreamly Skeletor coded
>>97386482>>97386488>>97386535Here, I scoured the archives a bit and found this thing. Dunno if it's the exact warmachine the other guy was talking about, but it's something.
