Assuming the 2 year per edition rumours are true, will you continue to play AoS?
>>97468268It literally changes nothing when GHBs are every 0,5 year
Man, Warcry is a fun game. i wish it got more attention.>>97468251Horns of Hashut should come back for the Helsmiths.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>97468302I don't believe you're a real person. I don't mean that you're a bot. I think you're a p-zombie or something.
>>97468227What a stupid fucking helmet.>Dual wielding hammersI get they're going for the "Smith of Vaul" thing, but this just looks like shit.
>>97468454>I get they're going for the "Smith of Vaul" thingthey aren't
>>97468454>>97468467I thought their whole schtick was balance, hence the fuckhuge cow helmet
POST YER WIP/LATEST FINISHED MINI
>>97468472the whole schtick is having to fill the shoes of white lions, so they got the other big weapon and another animalexcept high elves had a number of other animals scattered between their units (dragons, horses, fish, eagles), so if lumineth ended up having only these guys' totemic animal then people would erroneously assume lumineth are cow-elves, so they decided there would be 3 other temples, each one being a rough opposite of a chaos god, but really the mountain guys are the fundamental ones both because they were conceptualised first, because it's only their animal's horns that mirror the moon symbol teclis is carrying (and it's the only reason the other temple animals get horns added to them), and because their conceptual sphere is the one opposite to the important chaos god for elves, slaanesh, and most exemplary of the whole zen peace
>>97468276Warcry is sick and all the rules are pretty easy to find online. Try and find the 1ed compendium stuff and then you get warbands from all the aos factions too and they've got huge rosters
>>97468497sadly that would be anstar wars mini. have my latest finished unit instead.>>97468523i know the rules are easy to find (shout to warcrier). The lore of basic men and beasts fighting to carve up the crumps of the big player is also pretty peak.
>>97468576whoops, dont know what happened there. lets hope my other picture works.
>>97468521I didn't know that about the temples being opposite to the chaos gods. Is that canon or just logical interference on your part? Anyway, the cow is anti slaanesh, how do the other matchups work? If I had to guess i'd say river horse is anti nurgle, cleansing moving water vs nurgle's stagnancy.
>>97468454Alarith truly are the final filter of age of sigmar
>>97468268I already ignore the rules and don't buy any of the books because they change too fast. A two year cycle would just be GW digging it's own grave, but it doesn't matter because it's obvious bullshit, it would never work.
Not that anyone does it but it's fine to build Alarith with a different animal motif than cows.
>>97468632And Quality control is the filter that AOS cannot pass.
>>97468632Alarith are pure kino.
>>97468683>he said failing to use the shift key
>>97468683>filtered
>>97468251>What obscure, forgotten, or otherwise unexplored figures would you like to see represented in a sidegame like underworldsKoatl's claw savage seraphon>>97468576how's the weather in Sydney mate
>>97468227>no thread title
>>97468881Fuck i knew i forgot something
undead realm fare walkers (vampire coast) soon...
>>97468497Did some work on my rocket battery this week. I've gotten the flames updated a bit since this pic. Now I just need to paint the gold and then do the detail work, and shading/highlighting.
>>97468320I can show you my dick. Would that prove I'm real?
>>97469181Those are ghouls.
>>97469181I genuinely think they'd fit better in tow plus we already have two aquatic factions anyway. Also in general gw should focus on developing existing factions instead of making new ones for now.Now regardless of how I feel about things I do think they're a reasonably likely candidate for 5th edition's starter set if gw wants to stick to the chaos->death->destruction->... pattern
>>97469295>plus we already have two aquatic factions anyway.There's three, actually, and other factions have some nautical potential as well but are in a dubious position. >Also in general gw should focus on developing existing factions instead of making new ones for nowI dont think they'd be making it a new faction but rather soup them into something already existing. Or ideally, as has been suggested, they'd use them as a framework to bring back legions of Nagash.
>>97469183SEXX colour scheme
>>97469181Sure, as soon as you stick some pirate hats (etc) on a FEC or SBGL army. Though that would mean you'd have to show some agency and creativity... so never it is.
>>97469295>plus we already have two aquatic factions anywaywe should have one for each alliance >order: kharadrons>elves: idoneth>destr: grotbags>death: wraithfleet>chaos: zharr vyxa
>>97469356Who's the third one? At best I can come up with aquatic subfactions for existing armies like gutrot and stuff, but nothing wholly themed around it like idk, ko, and vcoast would be.
>>97468268We have constant GHBs that completely change how the game is played in totally arbitrary ways already.And this edition is garbage, it can't end soon enough, but also I doubt next edition will be better, I don't have any confidence in the current rules team.
>>97469183>pimp my ride theme playsdid you airbrush the metal but freehand the flames?>>97469651any excuse to bring back this thing as a unit
>>97470209It wouldn't work out of waterunless it "swam" in the ground, drilling into the crust, with the natural oil of the earth spilling forth instead of the ink of the squid
>>97470223>It wouldn't work out of water*Chuckles Idonethly*
>>97470248laugh all you want, your range is shit for a reason
>>97470223You could repurpose it as a bullshit magic land-drill easily enough.Also was dreadfleet the game that reportedly did so bad the lead guy burned the whole project, shredded it, some shit like that to teach the studio a lesson or whatever? Heard a story in that vein and I think it was related to some nautical game.
>>97470209Yeah, the purple is eidolon purple airbrushed over silver (with shading done to the silver beforehand). I tried to airbrush flames on my dominator engine but it didn't work out as well and I ended up layering anyway. Turns out layering flames just looks better as an end result.>>97469380Thanks man! Ever since I saw the chorf release I knew I'd be using them as an excuse to do my second favorite color scheme, purple and gold (first fav will always be blue, white, and gold)
AoS Man-O-War is interesting. Baby Great Scaphodons as Battleships for Idoneth.Cities of Sigmar get steampunk ships.
>>97470415Purple and gold on the dominator kinda fucks
>>97470426>bold new setting>reskinned old gamesBORINGgive me a weird mix of settlers of catan, risk, and godbeasts' management instead.
>>97470271>Also was dreadfleet the game that reportedly did so bad the lead guy burned the whole project, shredded it, some shit like that to teach the studio a lesson or whatever? Heard a story in that vein and I think it was related to some nautical game.Sounds like they just threw away unsold stock to clear shelf space, or possibly for some tax loophole, and the internet then went and made up some bullshit about because the truth wasn't scandalous enough for a youtube scream video.
Can anyone share Hedonites of Slaanesh 3ed tome please?
>>97470678gofile io /d/ axBUjg
Since we are begging, can some kind anon (may the Grandfather Nurgle bless him) share new Maggotkin tome?
>>97470767I might be wrong but I think someone shared it last thread? Worth taking a look. Maybe I'm confusing it with blighted wilds or something.
Can anyone care to share the current Slaves to Darkness battletome? Thx in advance.
>>97468497>completely missed he's wearing a big ass earring until now>>97470415Purple really is the most sexxo colour out there, and Chorfs work especially well with it
>>97470767>>97470810Nobody shared new Nurgle tome yet.
>>97470767https://wahapedia.ru/aos4/factions/maggotkin-of-nurgle/
>>97471003is that some kind of sick joke?
>>97471013Waha has aos stuff too, it's all on there and is updated to include the new rules
>>97471130we dont want the pdfs for the rules.
>>97470264And what reason might that be, mayhaps?
>>97471293Nta but I've heard it said that idk was basically alan merrett's passion project. Since he left they haven't really bothered much with it, especially as it's nly too popular of a faction. Although it's a bit of a cycle, small range means limited interest means limited sales means unprioritized means small range...
>>97471130> Fund Russian faggotNah he should be at the front
>Root Kings coming this edition>they will be in Fyreslayers instead of Sylvaneth
>>97471481>root kings but I don't have to deal with a*lvesI will now buy your product
>>97468276>Horns of Hashut should come back for the Helsmiths.Why the fuck aren't they back? They fit perfectly with the desolation tokens mechanic. They don't look any less fitting in the greater faction than the other chaos Warcry units. And it's not like the designers somehow forgot about them; words like "Hashutaar" and "Flamehurler" were first used for them.
>>97468227why is that guy's neck so long? doesn't it hurt?
>>97471547It's baffling to me too. They fulfill a role in the army, their fluff matches perfectly with that role (desolation points, like you said), they would help with unit variety in a small new army, literally perfect fit. They're somewhat different aesthetically but so are half the warbands, askurgan trueblades stand out like a sore thumb in soulblight. It's just a very weird decision. Only possible justification I can come up with is that GW really wanted to ensure you buy the new stuff but that seems thin.>>97471564He's looksmaxxing. He's trying to gain some sick neck muscles.
>>97471564Fahion hurts
>>97468227Can anyone share 3rd Edition Core Book? All I can find is Core Rules. Kinda weird having majority of other books but not main rulebook.
>>97471658
>>97471658Core rules are out for free, so there is less of an impuls to scan it
Can Goretide Catholics eat Deepking flesh on Friday?
>>97471772it would be weird if they didn't. every day is cannibalism day for the goretide.
>listed as soulblight even though he's clearly nighthaunt>never officially announced of acknowledged by gw despite being being a relatively widespread and normal store opening miniSo what's the deal with ol' othar?
>>97471798They're so cool.
>>97471825No fucking idea. Bizzare """releas"""Guess we'll have to wait for the other half
>>97471865man, the skullfiend tribe is so cool. i wish we got more fluff on them.
>>97471874For me it's the Flayed Ones and at least 1 in univers character agrees with me
>>97471866>the other halfWait a minute...
>>97471825After some digging, it seems that only new stores that start selling Warhammer will get him.
>>97471825>he's clearly nighthauntbullshit, he doesn't have the signature hunchbackhe's literally just a wight king without his lower half, hence why he's the HALF KING
>>97471889>the flayedexcellent taste, my good sir
>>97471923All legless models are Nighthaunt
>>97471003She cute
>>97472088Why do you subhumans have to sexualize everything?
>>97472042No, there's more that makes a nighthaunt.The armour style is also completely different.
>>97472233Show me a legless model that's not nighhaunt then
>>97472236Nta but
>>97472236You'll find spoops in sbgl that aren't in nh
>>97472284The entier world is stalagmite's legs
>>97472296and you'll also find spoops in nighthaunt that have legs
>>97472296This thing looks so out of place now with the old skeletons all over it.
>>97472312It always looked out of placesuch an overdesigned piece of shit
>>97472236
>>97472388His stone dick acts as a leg
>>97472231That’s moefication, not sexualization. Believe me I’m annoyed by tau and beastmen postings.Man fuck this captcha it wasn’t this annoying two weeks ago.
>>97472088Based take
>>97472413>moefication is when fat titsthe worst part about that pic is the citadel paint.
>>97472088girls painting minis is cute
>>97468251>silent peopleDamn...I wouldn't mind having different types of Stormcasters in Underworlds or really recognizable ones would be ok even half of the Blacktalon cast would be ok. Imo.As for unique Warbands: Khorne Daemons, goblin spiders, treerevenants that are more tree than elfs.
>>97472499GW will paint random discount box in one of a kind colour sheme, but will never ever paint sidegame models with matching subfaction colours
>>97472236Shadow Queen, melusai (both kinds), melusai iron scale, the olde medusa hero.Check and mate anon. Present bussy.> BonusIDK eels, and IDK shaerk
>>97472686>Shadow Queen?
>>97472709shadow queen is the giant snake version of morathi, that's just morathi-khaine
>>97472709> Newfag doesn't know the difference between Morathi-Khaine and the Shadow QueenBussy. Present it.
>>97472727>>97472738Other way around. Khaine form is the mutant one
>>97472787incorrect, shadow queen is the monster, morathi-khaine is the non-giant one
which factions are the best rivals?
>>97472939Ossiarchs and FEC
>>97472939sylvnaneth and maggotkinI think gw is trying to force a rivalry between tzeentch and loomis, Im looking forward to see that realized
>>97472787BUSSY.>>97472803 PRESENT IT
Mulgoth got fan art.
>>97468227>If a GUO attacks a Treelord, but there's no Stormcast around to save him, did the tree make a noise?Why would GW write an AoS story that doesn't involve fucking Stormcasts or Gotrek?
>>97473100lumies have bigger rivalry with the ossiarchs.>>97473128they do that all the time. are you a tourist or something?
>>97472939/mydudes/ and /yourdudes/
>>97472939>not STD's and stormcucks>>97472738>DoK player telling other people to present their manholesI'm sorry, who was posting the same pic of a troon enjoying another man for months?
>>97473269NTA but you don't need to be a dok player to know the difference between morathi and shadow queen
Fyreslayers is the army that Israel wants you to play.
>>97473269Lol that was me. Whoops. Just because I like getting pegged, made an honest mistake.Anyway, Shadow Queen is the big one, Morathi-Khaine is the little one
>>97473789You repeating this bit everyday time someone brings it up doesn't make it any more believable
Left the clothes on my bed after laundry day instead of folding them and putting them away, the decay is setting in, I’m ready to start a Maggotkin Army…..
>Unhinged questionIf the rumors are worthwhile, they say Ogors will become more Caveman-like....What if they got a bit more Gorger-y instead? They're big models and they're very primitive/tribal with all the bones and piercings.
heres what ive picked up for skaven so far, i was planning on getting another ratling squad and a warpblaster, but im not sure what i wanna buy next to hit 2000 pointsi have no clue what im doing, but i like the funny rats
>>97473857What are you going to do about it?
>>97473616
>>97474614Continue to believe you have a humiliation fetish and jerk off regularly to Natalie mars topping men like morathi would want
>>97473616This post will stay here because a janny posted it
The Blight Kings models are really nice but the anti-Wizard/Priest rules make them feel foo specific on a first read through. Feel like I should use them as character proxies instead
>>97472296This thing always looked insanely annoying to paint
>>97473269>I'm sorry, who was posting the same pic of a troon enjoying another man for months?Still an /aosg/ hall of famer moment when he found out, poor sod.>>97474503Probably won't be TOO primitive, we've seen one of the new gutplates already and it's nothing unusual, not like it's now made of bone and hide or something.>>97474612Seems like an alright list me anon. What kind of units do you like? You've got a decent amount of shooting, maybe some rat ogres for melee, some flayers to help with mobility?
>>97474503>Ogors will become more Caveman-likeThey willbecome Beastclaw like retard. They will match foot ogres to all tbe hunters they have
>>97474685You do you, but why would Morathi want a man domming me?
>>97475002Beastclaw fans are retarded, yes, ESLnon.
>>97472939
>>97472939Nurgle vs sylvaneth is pretty cool, tzeentch vs kharadron was a thing for a while but they abandoned it. Vandus vs khul of course. Personally I thought idk vs fyreslayers was also a cool matchup from that one dual box.>>97473147Loomies have idoneth, slaanesh, umbraneth, now tzeentch and later probably CoS as rivals.Everybody hates the cunts.
>>97473147Ossiarch rivals are ogors
>>97475186He cute
>>97468497
Just binged both seasons of Blacktalon and it was good. It was actually really, really good. Great story, fantastic twist, fun characters, good villain in the form of Hendrick, even the animation improved quite a bit by the end. Voice acting was also great. Best by BY FAR was Lorai. Loved her character and storyline. I'm very pleasantly surprised, and I might actually pick up the Blacktalons to paint and add to my Stormcast. Anyone else watched it?
>>97475370yes, but I don't share your enthusiasm the opening is cool tho
>>97475370yeah, it is quite good, despite the terrible animation. I wouldn't call Hendrick the villain of the story, that is Be'lakor's role. I also think that Lorai was great, but i was surprised how much i ended up liking Shakana and Rostus.If you want more of them, i do recommend the Blacktalon book that came out ~2 years ago. It has one of my favorite character moments from all of AoS in it.
>>97475370I really, really wish it was just a comic.
Lo and behold, every* single mainline stormcast kit ever released.I'd like to gauge some /aosg/ community consensus; what would (you) say was the single BEST and WORST stormie mini released? I counted 64 distinct kits, excluding limited edition stuff and sidegame releases. I also didn't bother with differentiating between build options or ETB vs 'full' releases. Otherwise you could probably add another 25 entries into this list AT LEAST. Oh, there's also the blacktalons which I left out because they're kind of a special thing, but feel free to count them.Anyway because there's no shot any of you actually remember the stormcast naming schemes, here's the list. strap in, it's a doozy:1. Vandus/lord celestant on dracoth2. Lord relictor (fatcast3. Paladins (retributor/decimator/protector)4. Liberators (fatcast)5. Prosecutors (fatcast)6. Lord celestant (fatcast)7. Judicators8. Lord castellant9. Knight azyros/venator (fatcast)10. Knight heraldor11. Knight vexillor (fatcast)12. Celestant prime13. Stardrake (lord celestant/drakesworn templar)14. Knight questor (fatcast)15. Lord Veritant (fatcast)16. Dracothian Guard (lord celestant on dracoth/ like 5 other dracoth variants)17. Vanguard-hunters18. Gryph hounds19. Vanguard raptors (+aetherwings)20. Vanguard palladors21. Lord-ordinator22. Lord-aquilor23. Neave24. Gavriel25. Gradus26. Lord arcanum (on foot)27. Evocators28. Knight incantor29. Castigators30. Praetors31. Lord arcanum (gryph charger)32. Astreia33. Lord arcanum taurolon / Aventis Firestrike34. Knight arcanum / evocators (on dracolines)35. Sequitors36. Celestar ballista (+crew)37. Lord exorcist38. Knight arcanum39. Knight vexillor (thunderstrike)40. Yndrasta41. Annihilators42. Vindictors43. Lord imperatant44. Knight judicator45. Vigilors46. Stormstrike chariot47. Vanquishers48. Knight-relictor49.

>>97475520[...]53. Lord vigilant (on gryph stalker)54. Lord terminus (on foot)55. Lord veritant (thunderstrike)56. Knight questor (thunderstrike)57. Liberators (thunderstrike)58. Prosecutors (thunderstrike)59. Reclusians60. Lord celestant (thunderstrike)61. Stormstrike palladors62. Tornus the redeemed/ knight azyros (thunderstrike)63. Iridan the witness/ lord vigilant (on morrgryph)64. Lord relictor (thunderstrike)Alright, that's all of them. I had to compress things a little to get the file under 8mb but everything should be visible enough.Personally, I think the best one is the og knight questor from silver tower. Honourable mentions go to slimcast prosecutors, the squatted lord excorcist and finally the retributory paladins. Worst has to be anything on a dracoline. Ugly fucking creatures.
>>97475520my personal favorites of the early releases were the knight questor, the paladins and prosecutors. the new versions in my opinion less a bit lesser in the details.
>>97475520>bestsilver tower questor, vermintide terminos>worst dracoth cavalry, celestant prime
>>97475520I do kind of miss the art deco of fatcast. Let me split up things per edition:>1st edition (fatcast)Best: knight questorWorst: prime>2nd edition (sacrosanct)Best: castigatorsWorst: dracolines>3rd editionBest: annihilatorsWorst: mhm, nothing particularily stands out. Maybe the imperatant? Oh wait hold on the fucking pixar dragons.>4th editionBest: vigilant on gryphstalkerWorst: new celestant. Not that bad, just kind of a downgrade imo.
>>97475520You forgot the multipart terminos
any kind anons have an idoneth scan?
>>97475637https://files.catbox.moe/vqsi80.pdf
>>97475657bless
>>97475370It is trash for retards and the animation is garbage
>>97475759>It is trash for retardsYou must adore it then.
>>97475599I didn't want to count multiparts stuff again because it's too much and barely matters for stormcast anyway. There's a couple of different poses here and there but that's pretty much it.
im looking for a next faction, looking for suggestions: >have some viable shooting units>have some heavy hitters>have some tricks in the sleeves, but not a gimmick faction>not rats
>>97475837sounds like you wanna play lumies
>>97475837This is basically every order faction anon. Maybe helsmiths if you want something different?
>>97475837>>97475866Seraphon might also fit.
>>97475597I loved Castigators holy alchemic explosive crossbows like goddamn they better return instead of the bland ass regular crossbows they've teased in warbands and Blacktalons
>>97475763I watched the one free episode they posted, realized it was slop and next watched it again.I can't imagine unironically liking slophammer++++ content
>>97475979I like the holy water grenades too, they're pretty fun. I'm trying to find some secondhand castigators to run as vigilors, and while they're plentiful they're often in annoying unit sizes to use as proxies. Kind of takes the fun out of secondhand if shipping ends ups making it cost as much as new y'know.Anyway cool sorcerer anon, how are you finding the new nurgle stuff? I heard it was dreadfully bereft of options, you reckon you could make some easy weapon swaps if you wanted at the very least?
>>97474788I could forgive blight kings being kind of anemic on offense, but they're not even any better in terms of wounds/saves than pestigors for their points.Rotswords on the other hand are absolutely going to be a staple, 20x of them with all of their really easy buffs are going to be a nightmare to shift and surprisingly killy (for Nurgle)
>>97476309That's just a nice kitbash I saw on reddit
>>97475837what is a "gimmick faction"? Doesn't every faction have their own gimmick?
>>97475837Slaves to Darkness or Stormcast, depending on how much shooting you actually wantIronjawz with boltboyz are also oonga boonga enough to qualify
>>97476562I assume something like nighthaunt or sylvaneth that circumvents some otherwise fundamental aspects of the game.
Does anyone have the Tomb Kings snippet from the Realmgate Wars books or something? It mentioned chariot riding obsidian skeletons or something
>>97476562SoB probably
>>97475837Kruelboyz check all those boxes.
>>97476630don't expect it to say much
>>97475520Luv me silver tower questor. Ate draconian guard. Botmainlinr but I always loved steelhearts champions even if they're fairly basic
>>97476630I know the one you mean, I think the totallynottombkings were called obsidian kings or obsidian dynasties or somrthing like that, maybe that'll help>>97476704The original questor seems to be leading the vote so far. Another w for silver tower.
>>97476704sweet jesus, put the helmet back on him.
>>97476630Bone Giants are also canon as they are mention in Nagash the Undying King.<3
>>97476898there was also a necrosphinx that appeared in an early noveland there's some cheeky hierotitans in the background here

>>97476947I never did like this art. Its so illegible.
What’s worse? Having 4 fully painted armies and being a nogaems or not having any armies at all and larping on a warhammer thread?
>>97477018The latter.
>>97476386Well this just makes me more set in using them as character proxies. Assuming I can ever actually find a box of them anywhere lmao.

>go to Warhammer store to pull trigger on starting a Helsmith army and get the bonus Daemonsmith>store owner apologizes and tells me they only sent him one and someone else got it 30 minutes before I got there>leave with nothingcool promotion, GW
>>97477314If it all actually hinged on the daemonsmith then it was probably for the best. And if not then, well, I guess you finally found the excuse you were looking for to make yourself not splurge on the new and shiny.
>>97477331Just haven’t been interested in spending any more money so I’ve been working on stuff I already own. I was willing to splurge for the incentive mini, but without that I’m content continuing with the couple things I’ve still got lying around for my current armies.

>>97477354Sigmar is probably at least partially based on sigurd. As for brunhilde, yndrasta obviously has some valkyrie design elements, so does valkia.
>>97477018>Participating in the hobby, barring one facetvs>Acting like you participate in the hobbyGee, you tell me, anon.

I was looking at getting into AoS with the new bonereapers. How are they expected to play in the new tome? I've heard people call them boring and that's kind of thrown me off
This bitch is next up for painting. I was thinking of maybe making her a red headed vampire instead of the standard black or white hair. Think it would look weird? Any suggestions on a base color?I'll have to think about the rest of her armor and clothes color. Maybe a brighter steel color but keep the leathers red.
what army would look best in a snowy scheme?
>>97477512>boring a lot of people like OBR for the more monster mash/ bone construct stuff which is probably why they were dissappointed. The primary identity of OBR is normal mixed arms force but undead and if thats what you want you'll like it. The new units do what they look like, the chariots are fast flankers, the archers will offer ranged support and to be annoying enough to pull your opponents attention away from the heavy hitters. The new assassins apparently have an ability that lets them ignore terrain pieces for the purpose of movement allowing them to get into combat in scenarios your other non-flyers can't. If your looking for a faction of undead that feels like an actual army, you should pick up OBR
>>97477550This cannot be a serious question
>>97477550You could do something sick with nighthaunt where their invisible feet leave footprints on the snowy bases they levitate on.
>>97476885Yeah the face is rough af, it was the first one I ever dried to layer and he ended up looking like i tried to make robert Pattinson in oblivion lmfao. Gotten a little better but admittedly not that much
>>97477566Rockbeast coded modelVoulture=hot rocky enviromentGemstones in horns= rocky underground
>>97477583I'm not blaming your painting anon, GW just can't sculpt faces for shit.
>>97477610You're weak as fuck
>>97477550Vyrkos
>>97477575That sounds based.
>>97477575Sovl
>>97477575My knight of shrouds would leaves a long draging mark in addition to footprints
>>97477575Would be very subtle but adding some glow to the footprints could give you a really unique army really easily
>>97477009That's just shitty scans
>>97477971No it's the perspective being all over the place. One part of the image makes 0 sens specially in relation to the other.
No wonder I couldn't find the fucking thread in the catalog, OP was a faggot and forgot the thread title.
>>97478155It shows up when you write aos, ho did you fail to find it?
>>97477628PURESEXVery nicely done anon :)
>>97475520I quite like Bastion.Hate Yndrasta
i might poke at the warpfire a tiny bit more for highlights and clean up the base, but otherwise im pretty happy with how he turned out and im gonna call it done, this was probably the most fun i had painting a model, and im very happy with the warpfire
>>97478314maybe I shouldn't tell you thisbut smoke/fire gets darker away from the base of the fire, not the other way around with the darker centre and brighter smoke
>>97478329its magic warp fire, i just wanted it to look cool
>>97478314Looks sweet anon
Time to start on these guys, unfortunately my local shop doesn’t have any Bull centaurs, any HOH players here who have ran artillery armies?
>>97478374Enjoy your manlets anon. You planning to use the commemorative daemonsmith or just a painting project? Can't help you with your question but razers seem quite good, bulls are definitely the backbone of your army though.
>>97478476Even gameplay aside, no bulls hurts, I'm painting an Ur-Zorn army so Bull centaurs are thematic.As for the commemorative daemonsmith, I'll use him, but I'll paint him in the "cannon" colors, I paint all named characters that way
>>97477512not boring, just traditional. they're structured and built like how you would expect a traditional fantasy army to be, shield wall infantry in front of catapult artillery supported by flanking cavalry and a rear command of supporting officers and sorcerersi dont personally play them but my regular opponent does, and i wouldnt use boring to describe themand the models are definitely not boring
>>97468683filtered>>97468695this guy gets it
im sad i ended up getting into the fantasy side of stuff too late, vermintide was one of my reasons for even geting into warhammer, and Kerillian makes me weak, so not seeing any wood elves in sylvaneth is kind of sad
My current WIP, I’ve decided on scheme and started to batch paint these guys.
>>97478602I like the sword gradiant
>>97478569Anon you can go buy and play wood elves as we speak. Personally I think sylvaneth kind of mog them, though I understand if people aren't really into the [spoiled] ghostly aspect [/spoiler]
>>97478630>typed too fast and now my shitty joke is ruinedWoe is me
>>97478638Next time just highlight your text and click CTRL+S.
>>97478648Thanks, but I'm afraid I was phoneposting
>>97478630i think sylvaneth are really cool, i just wish they had wood elves in the army, also i wish they had more then like 5 models
>>97478669Servs you rightPosted from IPhone 4S
>>97478670Mhm, maybe you'll like kurnothi once they come out in 2030 or whatever.Also I feel like sylvaneth actually have a decent variety of units compared to most new factions. I mean they could use a bit more variety but on the whole the roster is reasonably filled.
>>97478719Yeah unit variety isn't actually a thing they lack. Some (stupid) people just get confused because a lot of the kits have multiple options.
>>97477535ginger vampires burn twice as much in the sun
Nurgle tome is outgofile. UENcbn
>>97478851Grandfather's blessings to you. Praying an anon can make it compact, too.
>>97478758I wouldn't say they're a 100% there yet but they're certainly doing a lot better than most other 1st edition additions.Also it's annoying how Revenants come in fives for no reason. Really expensive little infantry.
>>97478851Error 404, link is down
>>97478927It's still there. You need to add /d/ before the UENcbn.
>>97478851HELL YEAH.
>>97478602good blending work on the crotch cape
>>97478851This is way higher quality than usual
>>97478851Very good. Now I'm only missing a good scan of the GHB, Sand & Bone, and Blighted Wilds to be up to speed with this edition.
He's emoting like he's auditioning for a One Piece reaction shot.
>>97478851At last the identity of Lord Leech is confirmed to be none other than Festus the Leechlord. That might seem like nothing but in the strictest sense it was never flat out stated in the Warcry material. Although I don't know why these guys would be associated with the Blessed Sons and not the Filthbringers, who act as Festus's minions over in Ghur.
>>97478851Holy hell did they make the Blight Kings underwhelming. Were they broken before the battletome came out or something?
>>97479196no, its just the unit people already owned 20+ of, so they had to make them bad so people spend more money on other thingsthey did the same thing to kharadron thunderers
>>97479201That’s pretty lame. I imagine a big refresh would be the time new players take a look at the faction, it seems counter intuitive. Doesn’t help that character buffs often make you roll to even get it most of the time.
>>97479299>Doesn’t help that character buffs often make you roll to even get it most of the timeone of the things i hate most about AoS: why in the holy fuck are some once per battle abilities only activated on a successful dice roll? once per turn abilities or casting/chanting i understand, but rolling a 1 or 2 for an ability that's one and done and having it not pop is so fucking infuriating
>>97479299It doesn't really hurt new players because they can just go "oh, thar units bad, I'll just avoid that when building my army". It doesn't hurt them because they don't own the army yet.It's really targeted at existing maggotkin players, to force them to shelve hundreds or thousands of points of their collection (blightkings were essentially the armies core unit, most people ran 600+pts of them, same with kharadron thunderers before) in a cynical bid to get people who already own an army of them to spend more money.
>>97479421the only other explanation would be incompetence on the part of the rules writer, no realizing how bad that warscroll is, and it just happened to fall on the unit people already owned 4+ boxes of. but given how well written most of the other units in the army are, in both the case of kharadron and maggotkin, im inclined to believe thats not the case, they can clearly write strong or interesting units when they want to, and it was done cynically to force sales churn in the model range.
>>97475370Is that Family Guy episode or what?It's straight ugliness and lack of any aesthetic.
Any kind anon got the HoH, BoK, NH, FEC and KO tomes?
>>97479680BoK and FEC. My HoH and KO files are too big for the litterbox. ywkxi0.pdfp1kjm5.pdfpmf9v3.pdf
>>97473059How are they rivals? Shouldn't Ossiarchs be rivals with Soulblight Deathrattles since they want all the bones?
>>97479845All I can think of is Nagash and Ushoran specifically.OBR are bigger rivals with Ogors than they are FEC as far as I know.
>>97479128I feel like Nurgle doesn't care about spills
Amazing, thanks!
>>97479128Always like these stupid little jokes.>>97480284Is that new? The slug-lizard thing is pretty gnarly. Is it supposed to be like slimux' mount because this thing looks quite different, and nowadays gw wants the art to be basically 1 to 1 with the model.
>>97480484>Is that new?no>and nowadaysthat was 10 years ago
>>97480537>that was 10 years agoDon't remind me. 2016 feels like 5 years ago at best.
>>97480484That's an old ass picture. And only half of the full spread. There's a fatty bathing and Horticulous on the other half
Aaramus of Hallowheart is back, and this time he's reporting from the Grandfather's Garden.
>>97480284>>97480685
>>97480916>Aaramus of Hallowheartwho?
>>97480153pretty sure thats the joke.
>>97480927A tourist.
Loomies and tzeentch announced today lads?
>>97480944how nice of khorne to have demonic guides for people on unholydays
>>97480957Doubt
>>97480957>inb4 dead week
>>97481095ossiarchs so soon? I'm not sure about that
>>97480957What's the normal turnaround time on them announcing something and preorders coming out?
>>97475520>>97475526Alright so yesterday I did stormies, today I figured I'd try khorne. Same things as before, Which sculpts do (you) think are khorne's BEST and WORST. Since it's a much smaller range I did things a bit differently, and included sidegame stuff, as well as the remaining pre-aos sculpts that you can still buy from gw to this day. Still didn't bother differentiating between etb and normal releases, as well as a few alternate builds like for the bloodthirsters. Anyway, here goes:1. Bloodletters2. Bloodcrushers3. Skullcrushers4. Skull cannon/Blood throne5. Bloodthirster (wrath/rage/fury)6. Wrathmongers7. Skullreapers8. Skaarac the Bloodborn (literally who?)9. Vorgaroth the Scarred on Skalok10. Mazarall the Butcher (literally who?)11. Mighty lord of Khorne/Vandus12. Bloodsecrator13. Khorgorath14. Bloodstoker15. Aspiring deathbringer16. Exalted deathbringer (axe)17. Exalted deathbringer (spear)18. Slaughterpriest (axe)19. Slaughterpriest (blade)20. Skarbrand21. Skullgrinder22. Realmgore Ritualist23. Deathbringer24. Bloodmaster herald of khorne25. Skulltaker26. Bloodreavers27. Blood warriors28. Karanak29. Flesh hounds30. Claws of karanak31. Garrek’s Reavers32. Gorechosen of Dromm33. Magore’s Fiends34. Kamendora’s BladesPersonally, the worst is easily Kamendora's, but that almost feels like cheating so otheriwse it's the skullreapers. Best is a tie between the new deathbringer and skulltaker. You also gotta appreciate vorgaroth for the sheer madness of the sculpt.Oh and if you're wondering about stormies, the silver tower questor and celly prime are currently front runners for best and worst respectively.
>>97481112I assume you mean between reveal and preorder and not between announcement and preorder otherwise it's literally just a week. As for reveal, it depends. Can be a week or two before the preorder annoucement, can be months. Tow is still waiting on those cathayan peasants for example.>>97481133I was going to say you forgot the lord on juggernaut but they squatted his finecast ass the bastards.Worst has gotta be kamendora's I mean come on. I quite like dromm's posse though.
>>97481133No way Skarbrand and Bloodthirster released games appart Isn't it 50% the same kit?
>>97481175the thirster kit was released for the last book of the end times and the skarbrand sprue was released in the khorne wave not too long after the launch of aoshonestly I don't truly understand why the normal thirster and brand are separate boxes when they do in fact share a sprueit's not like gw doesn't have fuckhuge boxes like megagargants and knights already
>>97481133>worstugly ass underworld shit, blood warriors >best skullgrinder, lord on jugger
>>97481175There's only like 2 or 3 years between the two but yeah the bt was late 8th edition while skarbrand was part of the early khorne release.
>>97480984As is traditional.
Any interesting bits of tzeentch lore to come out in recent years? Haven't followed aos closely in a while and thought about taking a dive back in it. Have the tzaangors been developed much? Better yet, are there any recent books about tzeentch?
>>974813683e had>a squable between some demon and an ancient Lumineth witch that gets continued ad-infinitume because the demon respawns and the witch has clones (that don't know they are clones) she can possess at will>aftermath of BR with Eater of Tome's demonologis aprentice showing up in the ruins of the spaceship they shot down to studdy the extra Tzentch corruption leftover by whatever Silver Tower shootsNothing Tzeentch related happend in BR, it was jsut Khorne in Aqshy and Nurgle in Ghyran.Nothing with KO either, Skaven got the spotlight.
>>97481368>>97481388Tzeentch has the misfortune of being linked to chamon which is probably the least cared about realm. Their spat there with ko in first edition was sort of relevant but since then it's been nothing but obscurity.
>>97481368>GW chaos lore>interestingPick one and only one. GW can't write chaos for shit. Its always "a birrion gorillion people were holocausted by random chaos schmucks plan, but then he was defeated, but it doesn't matter because chaos is the strongest and always wins by default in the end."Tzeentch especially suffers from this nonsense writing because he's the LOLRANDUM XD god and writers think everything he does has to be mustache twirling schizophrenic nonsense.
>>97481368I guess it depends on where you were left off. This is all that I consider worthy of note, but it's mostly old stuff and tangential involvements in other factions>the one survivor of the pre-chaos good beastmen of hysh, all killed at sigmar's orders out of prejudice, transmuted the hyshians into the twistfrays, after pledging to tzeentch for revenge >the changeling, shapeshifted into a architect of great renown, was behind many important cities of sigmar, hiding secret dungeons and more in plannings>a gaunt summoner picked up a skaven deathrunner in his silver tower to subtly guide him to fuck over nagash's pyramid, thwarting the necroquake and causing the current influx of magic that allows for spells to run rampant >belakor picked up a skaven deathmaster (who's becoming a named model soon) to plant a bomb in a silver tower, and that has caused the chain reaction that's been fucking over chamon's realmgates and spawned the anti-reforging cursed skies >lizardmen temple ships and tzeentchian silver towers have had and keep having void battles between realms, the wreck of one battle is at the heart of the gnarlwood>chamon is one of the most chaos tainted realms because tzeentch fucked over the ritual the people of chamon were doing to stop their age of chaos, multiple of the ritualists were covert tzeentchians and the ritual was changed so it would move a godbeast in the middle of chamon, the lodebeast became the magnetic anomaly that's been twisting chamon's lands into the treacherously moving concentric continents ever since>the sphiranxes were once intelligent and noble guardians of the lumineth libraries, but they were envious of the elves' ability to use the arcane knowledge of the books, so they made a faustian deal with tzeentch, who gave them a third eye to steal and use magic from the minds of others, at the cost of their own sanity
The new Nurgle stuff has me finally interested in Maggotkin, but largely only the Rotbringers/mortals. Nurgle daemons are still hit or miss for me.What are some good purchases to start with if I want to build an army that's majority/entirely non-daemon.
>>97481451>sphiranx's cannonically made a deal with tzeentch in the lore>still not in the battletomethey better fix this in the new one because what the fuck
>>97481734horns of hashut arent in HoH either. Warcry models get treated like second class releases.
OBR preorder when?
When
>>97481695Nurgle mortals
Why did they so blatantly tell us to go fuck ourselves with this
>>97481798I already have all those model except arkhan and I dont care about him anyway.
>>97481734gw being retarded with how chaos is getting separated is a disgrace this is how shit should be divided for the good of all
>>97481695Wait for the inevitable nurgle mortals spearhead, or even the battleforce later this year
>>97481780now>https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/qsxg0ftc/sunday-preview-a-magical-melee-rocks-the-mortal-realms/

>>97481906Kino.
>>97481906Slop spotted
>>97481734Man I just want a big, hyper-intelligent beast to lead an army. Hopefully Helsmiths get their Lammasu eventually, since that scratches the same itch for me.
>>97481886Lumineth rules for Darkwater>White Dwarf returns with another electric issue, this time delving into the wide swathe of smaller-scale ‘skirmish’ games that weave between the worlds of Warhammer. New rules for Warhammer Quest: Darkwater send four Lumineth champions into the corrupted Jade Abbey to purge Nurgle’s taint
>>97481886Fun week.
>>97481970I'm kinda surprised it isn't the Red Corsairs for 40k since they showed off their rules on Friday
>>97481956Boy do I have the army for you technically gitmob also fit the description
>>97482083>>97482088you should really be looking for a job instead of complaining about HR on /tg/ of all places
>>97482096Clicked on the wrong thread
>>97481695You’d basically have to wait for a new Spearhead or Battleforce if you’re interested in a box to start an army. Darkwater intentionally forgoes proper unit sizes, likely to discourage people buying it for army building.
>>97481985Rolling out a new 40k box one week after the battleforces went up for preorder probably wasn't in the cards.
>>97481886>When the sudden slaughter of a Freeguild marshal and his entire army casts a shadow over Hammerhal, Tahlia Vedra must leave her beloved Aqshy behind and step through the portal to Hammerhal Ghyra, where sinister plots are being forged by the Helsmiths of Hashut.>The spiteful Zharrdron aren’t the only problems she has to contend with, as the verdant side of Hammerhal is full of unfamiliar faces looking to take advantage of the First Marshal’s arrival, and Tahlia is all but a stranger in her own city. Uniting her people will be a battle in itself, and she doesn’t have the luxury of time – for the Helsmiths wield a power that will spell doom for Hammerhal and all who reside within it.Helsmiths having their Black Library debut. Might be fun.

>Warhammer fantasy subreddit has significantly more activity (20% more contributions) vs the AoS sub I am actually starting to get worried guys. This is just from Cathay? What happens when they release Kislev and new STD?
>>97481133>34. Kamendora’s BladesEven with a proper paint job that makes them look like cannibals with blood dripping from their fucked up mouths, I can't imagine these look any good. Even the GW paintjob doesn't look that good otherwise. The skin is really flat looking and nothing interesting is going on at all. I'd say this is the worst kit in all of AOS.
>>97481133as the local khorne anon with 20k+ points of BoK i have to say the following:>worsteasily kamendoras krew. those minis are just bad adn there is little redeeming about them. i feel sorry for the designer that made them.>bestall of the gorechosen. every single one. not a single miss in the mortal lieutenants.

>>97482241>20% more contributionswhat timeframe? because recently we got a relatively important FAQ
>>97481886>no OBRshame, but i am glad tzeentch and lumie plkayers get their book.

>97482241>97482335Make your samefagging a little bit less obvious next time. Anyway good for them, though I'd like to remind you that both the normal warhammer fantasy and aos subs get mogged hard by the total war warhammer one, which has like twice the visitors and contributors. And that's not even the main tw sub which is 99% warhammer focused these days, and again has twice the amount of visitors and (almost) contributions of the spinoff one. Warhammer lives in the shadow of /v/ermin gentlemen, don't forget.>>97482349Yeah apparently obr is supposed to come a bit later. I'd wager they get announced in two weeks?
