On the off-chance that they're still going to recycle some unrevealed warbands, what would you like to see for your faction?
>>97609557It's middle of the work week and the day isn't even close to over. It doesn't get spookier than this
I refuse to play against LRL.
Now that the dust has settled, why did the Helsmiths of Hashut flop?
>>97609584
man, i wish IDK had gotten a warcry band like the fyreslayers. It could have been a beast master unit as well.
>>97609806Would've been perfect to do a more elite foot unit too, be that akhelians or namarti (or both)
Ogors?
>>97609866still far, man
>>97609606The models were polarizing. A lot of older chorf fans didn’t like the art deco aspects.
>>97609866Later this year
>>97609866I actually bought a bunch of Ogres for TOW because the old box was a great deal.
>>97609941Have you painted these by now or are they still in boxes because I remember you posting about this months ago
>>97609945Nah I got side tracked by MESBG dwarves (that I am actually painting)
>>97609866Ogors my lord!
>>97609941>rug>in a gym where people sweat a lotDisgusting
>>97609961Why the fuck would I be taking a photo of Ogre boxes in a gym?
>>97609951They blue and orange by any chance
>>97609981They are indeed.
>>97609961Kek based retard>>97609977Maybe for inspiration
>>97609977Home gym isn't much better in this context. Even if only you use it you might as well piss on that rug, given it's the same toxins just more diluted
DO NOT FUCKING PANIC!But Star Wars has Idoneth Deepkin.
>>97610002>toxins>piss>dilutedWhat the fuck are you talking about Jesse?
>>97610003Lol
>>97609617I have a painted cathay army so it evens out.
>>97610003>teeth on the eels>full armourscan't be idoneth
>>97610132In what fucking reality do eels don't have teeth?
>>97610145the idoneth ones have only 8 teeth, so they're practically toothless fucking sea worms bitch ass fish niggas
>>97610171Marsupial lion had only had like 8 and it was the deadliest thing in Australia
>>97610180>Marsupial lion had only had like 8 and it was the deadliest thing in AustraliaJust below Immigrants.
>>97610180I don't fucking care about no marsupial lion or your pointless factoidsif the eels don't got a nightmarish jaw with more teeth in them than pedophiles in israel then the sculptor fucked up
>>97610003lol wutAwesome, or dumb? I'm not really sure.
>>97610198you take that back
Cogfort
>>97610274Feet?
>>97610277Control yourself Anon
>>97610274Could be, looks a bit messy though.
>>97610311The messiness ties it with the rest of the CoS range.
>>97610382mhm, maybeI feel like the ironweld great cannon for example is a bit cleaner and more put together
>>97610311Depends how the all faction rumour plays out. Maybe it's a destro one
>>97610668I really don't think the "all-faction" thing means it's going to come with bits for destruction/chaos/death or anything, it'l probably just have a RoR for every GA like gargants currently have.Makes sense with a kit as big and expensive as this, locking it to one faction is kind of a waste.
>>97610696Its also going to look so fucking out of place for everyone not Cities of Shitskins.
>>97610696>it'l probably just have a RoR for every GA like gargants currently have.And gargants have bits for every GA
>>97610731They have a million bits because they're gargants and they collect shit, not because they're meant to fit in with the other grand alliances.
>>97610749No they rather specifixally have designated bits for designated builds attached to GAs. Like the death executioner hood or Chaos Khorne symbol
>>97609945You might be thinking of me! The other guy who got 2 ogor boxes awhile ago.And I haven't painted them, I might wind up selling them out to some local guys since I bumped into an ogor player last night after my game.
>>97609528Yeah they were really fucking annoying (also had a perfect line to charge and then there was complaints where he was like "erm no, you can't drop there that looks like it's .1 cm too far." I WASN'T) any ranged attacks that hit decently and have rend suck for FEC. I completely forgot about the anti-ward tech too since all I had was felgryn who just kinda does what most of my FEC heroes do which is sit back until they can make the trip out to fight. I feel like I'm in the constant debate with myself not to just turn 1 charge and try to wipe out the enemy.I dunno if there's any other FEC players, honest opinions on how to properly use my heroes since I'm concerned for anything that isn't the bigger guys just crumbling instantly. Tried the executioner too with some cryptguard and wasn't particularly impressed either.
>>97610796Oh right are you the guy that got fucked over by taxes?
>>97610884yarp, getting a bit of a stipend to pay this shit off near the end of March. Best case scenario the guy just wants to buy the chunk of Mournfangs I got from some random lot and some box stuff. I'd like to have some leftover to hobby with.
>>97609557>BespokeI hate Kill Team drones so fucking much.
>>97610790The gatebreaker has the hood which is kind of death-y I suppose, but there's nothing particularily orderly about the krakeneater or chaosy about the warstomper. You mention the khorne symbol, but that's actually just a looted shield. He also has stormcast and wanderer (?) shields next to it, as well as a bunch of other trophies from other factions.Also were the specific gargant RoR's a thing when they launched? Couldn't you just take every gargant variety in every alliance? I might be misremembering that.>>97610834Yeah the anti regeneration is going to be a pain for a few specific armies who rely on it I feel like.How are you enjoying the "new" fec rules in general anon?
>>97610945>gatebreakerFor some reason my brain always defaults to thinking it's named the bonecrusher. Always takes a second to get it right. Dunno why that is but it just somehow looks like it should be called bonecrusher.
>>97611004You play too much mtg
>>97611022That's the fucked up part, I haven't played MTG since Innistrad was new.
>>97611032Good for you mate, this decade has been rough...
>>97610945>How are you enjoying the "new" fec rules in general anon?I'll be honest, the delusion system seemed a bit more exciting off the bat but actually using it most of the delusions feel conceptually cool but I'm not vibing with them as much as I'd like. Felgryn aside from the anti-ward missle feels fuckin' useless (his delusion is just control score junk) Goremayne giving extra damage seems nice but a bit risky. It's weird, they still want to encourage you to use foot heroes to spread your buffs, and I'm not quite sure how I wanna build now with this in mind. We're still really squishy and I feel like I'm gonna need to pick a lane to stick to since I feel like my list is kind of spread all over. I'm sad most of the buffs from everyone is for serfs since I like using knights or monsters. I still enjoy the faction, I think Goremayne is boring as fuck now since he's just boiled down to another "strike last" machine instead of having options. Hoping for some additional releases that aren't foot heroes.
Speaking of FEC rules, did the WD rules for ghouls in Darkwater came out already?
>>97611121I believe so yes!
>>97611127Are they any good?
>>97611004you might be confusing it with the bonegrinder
>>97611157no clue, I didn't pick up the issue yet!
>>97611115Thanks for the writeup anon, very interesting. I heard the delusions were better received than the majority of 4th edition stuff at that point but maybe not a 100% there yet.Also previous to 4th edition I was a nogames, but I've noticed that abilities that affect control etc aren't usually that useful? They can swing an objective in some cases but usually the units just brawl it out to where one is left standing, or the other unit is so reduced in strength so a control buff or debuff for the enemy matters little.Anyway that got me thinking, how important was bravery in previous editions? How do you guys feel about the switch to control scores?
>TQIronjawz themed around the old Ardfist battalion: more wreckless Ardboys rallying around a unique Warchanter; maybe a drummer
>>97611405>I heard the delusions were better received than the majority of 4th edition stuff at that point but maybe not a 100% there yet.The tome itself is really fucking cool, there's a fold out page where the exterior is that noble guy art and a map of territory, it opens up into a neat ghouly thing. I liked it a lot.I think the ghouls are in a decent spot, delusions conceptually are fun since it's kinda like a power struggle on who gets what and encourages you to bring certain characters to the retinue. I think my biggest problem just being that foot heroes that don't cast this edition are like the lamest shit. Goremayne, executioner, and scroll guy are all conceptually cool but they are basically just a "I do one thing, I cost like 150 points" and I just don't know if there's enough room for a tech piece that sits in the backline for an army all about running in and ripping people to shreds.>but I've noticed that abilities that affect control etc aren't usually that usefulThey're stupid, since you either have so much control score you're basically gonna win every time like Gargs or you have dickall and you're a beast. It's not a very interesting system and getting an ability like "If the enemy is in combat with a beast they lose 10 control score this turn" is like the lamest waste of ink I could imagine when they could do anything else.Control Score and D3 rolls are so far some of the more annoying bits of 4e
>>97609606I CURSE VISHNUI PISS ON YOUR FAMILY
Anyone got a scan of the new Lumineth tome? Specifically the lore parts.
If I see another sylvaneth spearhead thats in a monster color scheme Im going to get diabetes.
>>97609617Chinese Taipei BELONGS to the CCP.There Social Credit restored
>>97611453Umm leakers don't do that ok?Also no PtG, GW WILL milk the narrative paypiggies
Cot damn obr is getting it's skull caved in on all the battle reports. I mean I knew that would happen just by reading the book and rubbing two brain cells together, but the amount of people in denial and streamers spinning it is delicious.
>>97611521Hmm got any tasty ones to watch?Not Season of War, they are shit and always fuck up rules (TOURNAMENT GAEMRS everyone! Just imagine what they fuck up and gaslight their opponents into thinking they are correct, allowing them to win!)
>>97611521Anything specific of note? I got absolutely creamed by them but I suck and was directly countered by what they had.
>>97611554>>97611553Just search in YouTube and sort by recent. I didn't see any that got any of the rules absurdly wrong, season of war one was kinda a marketing demo one, ironjawz player throws the game on purpose.
>>97611553the guys at season of war are so insufferably smug irl its insaneabsolute faggots
>>97610916Yeah yeah you knew what I meant
>>97611453Gotta wait more
>>97611636I don't actually. The fuck is bespoke? Made for warcry? Are chameleons and gorgers bespoke???
>>97611464what do you mean
>>97611676Yes yes and yes...is it used differently in kill team? I have never played that game nor interacted with its community before
>>97611671The rules already being on Wahapedia makes me think there's a scan floating around out there?
Bros I think I’m gonna consume some Cathay and justify it as proxy CoS
>>97611748You're giving money to GW either way they don't care
>>97611739People always scan the rules early so they can leak them, nobody fucking scans the lore until much later when some autist uploads the entire book end to end.
>silly rats and their guh-
>>97611521more like its top half in power level and therefore is shit according to bonefags.
>>97609941speaking from experience, try to leave those ironblasters in as many sub assemblies as possible and off the basethat things an absolute bitch to paint fully assembled and glued to the base
>>97612116hes never going to paint them anon.
>>97612100I guess, feels worse than my sce in every way and sce is pretty middle of the pack. I have no idea why mortek are more than liberators, considering they're better in literally every way possible, my spell and prayer lore are better, battle traits etc
>>97612071>The Ossian Blade: Musings on the Battle Tactics of the Bonereapers by Cado EzechiarWhat the hell, Cado is a published author?!
>>97612129Hey that's not true. He might paint a single model, pretend he never liked them in the first place and try to sell everything like he did with DG.
>>97612178stormcast has been a top army since the portal released.
>>97612071Outskilled
>>97612190They need of POV character for Death and he is just sitting there so why not
>>97612178Well they use to be able to get unreadable.Now they have a shitty minus rend that no one took when it was a soggy option, but now it's the only option.
>>97612263*outskulled
>>97612190Lose weight.
>>97612190Oh hey, thats thanny.
>>97612286I feel like it would have been funnier if Vhordrai & Shordemaire were the designated POV characters. They could write travelogues of all the locations the Crimson Keep blips to.
>>97612190>1872x843We can do better.
>>97612362ideal POV characters are meant to be able to slip into various scenes without affecting them mucha bald and bold fighter on a fuckhueg undead dragon can't do that
>>97612399>the beaky nose one is canonically a girlSHE'S MINE I'M CLAIMING HER FIRST SHE'S MINE YOU CAN'T HAVE HER
>>97612408But I don't want him slipping into scenes, I want him to write shitposts.
>>97612466she handles everyone's bones and cocks, bro
>>97612537He can't write shitposts if he can't see shit and he can't see shit if he just barges into shit with a 160mm based dragon instead of observing shit as it plays out
>>97609557>TQFor gits I would've liked some heavy armour ""elite"" gits, like the guy from the first uw warband. Grinkrak's court was kind of like that but I'm not a fan of their armour, I much prefer picrel's take on them.Though it could've been cool to use the warcry slot on a spiderfang refresh. Three guys on spiders, some smaller spiders, and then a few normal gits with like spider arms strapped to their back or something who knows.
>>97611553I like TAbletop tactics myself, but since I mainly use it as background noise while painting, I can't say if they are following all the rules properly
>>97612190>>97612399Who the fuck is that?
>>97612230I guess it depends on your definition of top. Boners have historically been a 4-1 army with a good win rate percentage but crater at top tables because they don't have the mobility tricks or extra gimmick that puts them over, or there's an achilles heal matchup like shooting fucked 2e obr. Some melee only matchups got demolished or people not being able to pass the stat check.There was a time when 3e book launched that the recursion was strong enough with both mortarchs that they were consistently getting five win rounds, until they nerfed immortis guard and stalker recursion.Now they're like a shit statted army without a gimmick. I'm all for making the army harder to play but higher ceiling but it's more like they lowered the floor and ceiling and will make stalkers like 100 points in a year lmao.
>>97612696
>>97612710I've never saw the back of this thing
>>97612710Imagine you get told your soul will be put into the ossiarch legions instead of becoming some shitty ghost but then you get assigned to the messenger pidgeon body lmao
>>97610003I find it charmingly silly how Star Wars periodically abandons the whole space thing and becomes Water Wars for some background nonsens conflic
>>97612753she looks like she's having a blast honestly
>>97612753>you get to flyProbably above averagw fate
>>97612817I'm not talking about the skelly sending out the birds, I'm talking about this fella right here>>97612841Prolly beats being a nighthaunt forever cursed to kick your toes or whatever the fuck at the very least yeah
>>97612709>There was a time when 3e book launched that the recursion was strong enough with both mortarchs that they were laughanly broken, until they nerfed immortis guard and stalker recursion.
>>97612190It's probably a best seller amongst the various Deathrattle kingdoms. What Wight King wouldn't want to know how to best defend his lands from the bone predators?
>>97612190>What the hell, Cado is a published author?!Doesn't realy srprise me. Realy fits him
>>97612917Yup that was about 2 years ago now for a period of 3 months. Just about every army has had something like that happen. Seraphon were insane for like 3 years was the longest reign of terror.
>>97612947If anything he's publishing in Cities via a KO printing press
>>97612978You think he wrote it himself or is it a "ghost" writer? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
>>97613113Get the fuck out Carlos
>>97613284nice reddit find from 7 years ago
painting a slaangor
>>97613318I like da bloo
>>97612116>>97612129>>97612214I am painting my MESBG dwarves right now so I am busy with that. I already have a painted Fantasy army so im in no rush with the ogres. I just wanted to grab the boxes before they went out of sale. Also yeah I probably won't paint the rest of the Death Guard unless 11th edition turns out to be good (which is unlikely imo).
>>97613343No one asked.
>>97613350They are talking about me so I have a right to inform them.>>97613318I like your style of painting, looks quasi impressionist.
>>97612071Is he ok?
>>97613414unfortunately, it's everything BUT a flesh wound
>>97613414yup, would need to shatter the little gem on his chest if the tome was written in 2e/3e
>>97613438got me
>>97613358i'm shit at smooth coats is what it is
>>97613512It looks really nice, your blends are quite good. Don't sell yourself short.
I’ve been working on my Chorfs
>>97614038I was gonna paint some sylvaneth today but I think my current paints are borked.
>>97614038Interesting minty fresh Helsmiths. I like the different colored helmet gems. Do you have any fluff significance for the colors, or is it just wearer's preference?
>>97614110isnt that one of the canon ziggurats, like a sea green?
>>97614190Yeah I'm going with Ur Zorn colors>>97614110Its just the wearer's preference, I love their vain displays of wealth
If you could, are there any armies you would alter the armor/weapons design of? Maybe a slight alteration or addition of some variety or a wholesale change of style.>SeraphonAdd at least some options for more primitive looking weapons and shields like the Fantasy versions that had shields made out of dino hide, especially for making a Coalesced force that's gone native>SoulblightAdd options for different weapon styles like straight swords, add COS armor parts as options. Or just move the armor inspiration more towards medieval German
>>97614550>armor/weapons design Maybe just the helmets of lumineth, just a slight tweaking of them. Keep them tall, but keep the animal motif in a more subtle way. aside from that, making them more like their broken spire artwork would be neat too. >citiesGet rid of the armor entirely of the freeguild and incorporate more leather and gambeson. Maybe chain mail too. Ideally I'd turn cities into a napolenoic army but that's a complete overhaul of its identity. >soulblight Personally? Just keep it slavic but add more horror elements, maybe even dive into night lord territory and steal some corpses. Something like pic related would be great. >sylvaneth remove the bug jet packs and just give them proper butterfly wings. It doesn't need to be 40k.
>>97614620>re lumineth when I say remaking the helmets, dont do them anywhere NEAR identical to high elves, personally I find the helmets they have fucking retarded, absurdly so, dark elves kind of fixed it to where I can find them palatable but thats beyond the point. Basically im just asking for what they already did for the stone mages but for the stone guard. As for the wind chargers, I dunno what you can do without being redundant.
>>97614620Seeing that red horseman makes me want to see some torture-based units for Soulblight. A little like the Unmade but for Death. A warband consisting of vampires subject to medieval torture devices for some slight against Nagash or one of their betters and made to fight like that could be cool. Or just straight up a cabal of vampires that are just into that kind of thing.
>>97614620did slavic armor ever actually look like that or is that just from the bram stokers dracula film?
>>97614687You’re aware that Dracula isn’t a Slavic thing right?
>>97614691Romania is pretty Slav-adjacent.
>>97614691im not slavic so i dont care that technically romania was not slavic but just sorrounded by slavic states. im not a historical fag, i literally dont give a fuck, nor does it have much to do with the mortal realms of sigmarbut that said, im also not the person who said keep it slavic and then posted a pic of >>97614620 as an examplewhich looks a hell of a lot like the armor from bram stokers dracula and not like any eastern european armor i've ever seen
>>97614717Ah, I probably should have worded it better, or actually not omit my thought process rather. I didn’t mean to insinuate that the pic was Slavic, I just really liked the helmet and that’s what I meant by horror elements. The decorations too, if I could see blood knights redone I would see them just a bit more detailed. Do forgive my tardation.
>>97614708No, at no point was Romania Slavic.
>>97614550>HoHEase up on the hexagon motifs and give them some axes
>>97609557Only the Shadow stalkers.I would like to see a Scäthborn based warband that's not overpriced like their current models are
>>97612399Katakros is such a giga chad
>>97613318That claw looks silky smooth anon well done>>97614550I agree on the seraphon, the shields are the only part I dislike about the refresh. Does it count as "altering the weapons" if I want more options for the new nurgle stuff? The sloven knights having exactly 0 is criminal.Finally steelhelms could've been done better. Get rid of the bibs and give them some chainmail to make an aventail instead. Also give them the faceplates that are included in the fusilier kits, they look pretty cool. The dopey helmet has grown on me but it really starts to look good with the faceplate.
Romania is Latinx, like Italy and France
>>97615359I looked it up and somehow their language remained mostly non slavic, but some incredibly basic words like "to love" and fucking "yes" got slavicized. How the fuck does that even happen
>>97615359Nobody considers romania like Italy and France, not even RomaniansYou're a slave
>>97615359Romania is Dacian clay
>>97612549Are you confusing Cado with Vhordrai? Cado doesn't have the dragon on either of his models, and in the books, only summons it rarely.
>>97615530...the conversation was about vhordrai anon
>>97615439The car?
2nd > 3rd > 4th > 1st
>>976157112nd is basically the same as 1st? The only real difference is the first year of release and then +1 save mystic shield and general only command abilities? Maybe you got your opinion from sloptubers or something
>>97615359Romania is as latin as India is asian
>>97613512progress
>>97615743I guess if you include pre ghb 1st in that calculation it kind of works out
>>97615756Romania speaks a Latin langage, India speaks an (indo)European language instead of anything Asian
>>97616151Why did you put the indo of indo-european in brackets.Also if we're being autistic about this stuff didn't indo-european develop in asia
>>97616151>he thinks language matters more than genetics
>>97616167>didn't indo-european develop in asiaIt developed in Belarus like all human civilisation
>>97615711This is correct. >>97615743(You)
>>97616216nothing has ever been developed in belarus but vodka
>>97616230Actually aqua vita was made in the west rome adjescent slavs, that's why it doesn't have a greek name
>>97615711sounds correct.
>>97609557>Did your army get a bespoke warcry warband? On the off-chance that they're still going to recycle some unrevealed warbands, what would you like to see for your faction?When they came out I heard some people speculate the kharadron vongrim guys were a recycled warcry warbandI wonder if there's any truth to that
>>97616689That was my assumption when I saw them the first time, have they put out any new warcry warbands since?
>>97609953ALRIGHT, i'm getting out of my slug state. My friends dropping off his hobby saw, i'm gonna buy a fuck ton of miliput, I'M GONNA DO SOME GOD DAMN OGORS.
>>97616702the last warcry boxset was briar and bone in 2024
>>97616739I'm still shocked underworlds outlived it. Though, it's not like GW announces a game is dead do they?
>>97616749rarely. i think they dont know what to do with either game.
>>97612644Tabletop tactics doesnt play AoS and they don't really play 40k, they just scream and shout a lot
>>97616749Underworlds is its own card thing. Warcry is just awkward Spearhead
>>97616702Nah, last one come out right after skaventide I think. Vongrim dude do kind of have that warcry feel but I don't think they'd be just a 5 man squad if that was the case. New gutter runners do sound like a classic warband though, I fully believe that's a recycled one.>>97616749I imagine underworlds is significantly easier to produce because of the scale and monopose. Though they cut back anyway with the art and stuff.>though it's not like GW announces a game is dead, do theyThey did, once.
To our like 5 resident chorfposters, do you guys own the big tauros? If so, you guys know if picrel would be at all feasible, size wise?
>>97617091I own neither but at my paint club I've seen both, you could. They're both smaller than you'd think they are and the bull mech is decently fat so you could pretty easily just slice both and glue em together.
>>97617106Mhm, thanks. I made the orignal edit as a joke during the chorf reveal days and saw it in a folder somewhere, wondered if it was at all possible now that the models are out. Maybe someday :)Y'know speaking of, I wonder if they'll bring back shartor himself at some point. I doubt many people remember him, but he was technically an AoS-only character wasn't he?
>>97617199That's the weird thing, since I am now wondering how many forgeworld exclusive resin guys wound up coming back (in AOS) as full on characters with plastic kits?
Finished reading Skaventide. It was not good.
>>97617277Fucking AWFUL book right? Hated every single second of it.
>>97617313Speaking of, I'm still struggling to finish off the Archaon trilogy from Fantasy. It's a real bummer I used to think Archaon was kinda cool, but god DAMN did that book just turn me right the fuck around on him. He's like the lamest dweeb Mary Sue fuck in existence, Be'lakor damned us all by having this shit heel become the "everchosen"
>>97611405Honestly, the loss of Battleshock was such a fucking travesty. It was a unique combat mechanic that could actually fuck people over badly if they didn't plan around it.
>>97617368>It was a unique combat mechanic that would actually just uniquely fuck destruction over badly if they used their command points for anything else, and everyone else could just ignore.
>>97617277Im reading Starseer’s Ruin (since I wanted something with lizards) and so far its pretty good as far as BL books go, all the perspective characters are interesting enough.
>>97617368I started in 4th so I don't even really know what the deal with it is. Is it just like, if you lose the test you just lose X many dudes from a unit or something with the implication being they run away.
>>97617219I think there's also the khorne dragon and like two other demon characters, like the one the kdaai was recycled into. Other than that there was laybe a skaven thing and I think tamurkhan and the other legion of azgorh stuff was around for a bit?Forgeworld didn't do too much fantasy stuff though, and even less AoS. The fimir stuff too, did they have a character? I don't remember. Aside from the khorne dragon the only pure aos thing they did iirc was a stormcast head upgrade sprue lol
>>97617368Only people it would fuck over were gitz and skaven players. Everyone else had bravery 8-10 and you basically never suffered from it
>>97617478nta, but battleshock should have been reworked. it should have been lowered by a point across the game outside of demons and undead. Failing the battleshock test should have forced units to be unable to score objectives. Also there should have been less ways to ignore it and more stuff to modify it.
>>97617435Forgeworld fucks with me since sometimes I'll just see these fantastic models and then realize I haaaaate working with fucking resin.
>>97617581How bad is resin really? I'm a newfriend who's only ever had to work with plastic. I'm eyeing the (now squatted) khorne lord on juggernaut though and that one is resin so I'm curious.
>>97617797I'm not the biggest fan, it can be good but there's sometimes just fuckups and things don't come out as intended, I've had holes or bent bits. If shit snaps it's much more of a pain in the ass to get fixed. Also I like using that melty plastic glue and that doesn't really work with Resin.It's not as bad as finecast, but it's close enough that it bothers me.
>>97617091How do you call a centaur that's jsut the same thing for the head, but with more arms?
>>97617219Oh I just realized I completely misread your comment, sorry. Most obvious one off the top of my head is festus, I think his original mini was resin, though I don't think he was ever forgeworld exclusive. I think the list of truly forgeworld only characters is rather slim. I guess the... loonboss on giant cave squig is kind of spiritual successor to the big armoured squig from the night goblin command set but at that point we're really scraping the barrel for connections to make.

Did all of the dark water stuff get scanned? I wanna know how the story went.
Cathay is too cool, and I think I am going to pull the trigger, mainly because of the art. Jade Warriors/Lancers as Freeguild is obvious, but I am not super sure on how to incorporate peasants. The new box has plenty of guns so I am not worried about proxies for that. This art sold me ( the art in the background not the book cover ).Would using Miao Ying (dragon form) as Tahlia be acceptable in your guys' eyes or is it too much of a stretch (considering she's much taller)
>>97619523Wrong thread buddy.

Can we not just have one thread without coomershit?
>>97620697He asked for it
/wfg/ is convinced that dark elves are coming to TOW. Are there any rumours as to whether or not the Dark Elf kits are going to be playable in the next CoS book?
>>97620807>/wfg/ saidWho cares. But the rumors are that they’ll be in the battletome. And the daughters of khaine kits aren’t going either. You would sooner find malerion coming to Aos with a redesign before dark elves leave.
>>97620827I think that Umbraneth will be to Dark Elves what Lumineth are to High Elves. Not at all the same. Also I think if GW had plans to keep Dark Elves in AoS they’d probably advertise them/ship them with circles instead of the squares they are photographed on
>>97620841>Also I think if GW had plans to keep Dark Elves in AoS they’d probably advertise them/ship them with circles instead of the squares they are photographed onThey did for their start collecting boxes, and I’m pretty sure they are for dok. Although we would have to ask, when was the last time gw edited something on their store page?
>>97620865It’s been 10 years Umbraneth are not happening.
>>97620875I remember how people said lumineth, skaven, and chaos dwarves weren’t going to happen…ah… now that I think about it I remember there being a screen cap about that anons melty.
There was a leak about how they were remaking certain factions to be more flanderized in tow moving forward.
>>97620875Everything happens, GW just operates on a much longer timescale where they don't consider not touching an army for 10 years a big deal at all.
>>97619432Tried that thing 1st time recently. Pretty good
>>97620888Much funnier melty was the random resculpt cheng desperatly shilling 3rd party chorfs during the reveal, because he knew he won't sell much now that GW officially sells it in plastic
>>97620474Pretty smart actually>>97620807We have two kind of contradictory rumours. One says all the current dwarf/elf/empire stuff will still be useable in the new battletome (reformation) one saying it's going to be gone (boole). So we're not entirely sure what's happening. Could be something like how dwarfs are currently handled, they're in the battletome but aren't being sold (for aos).That being said neither the aos team nor the playerbase has ever cared much for the dark elf part of cities so I think it makes sense for them to go to tow. Especially now that we're starting to get some actual malerion rumours after all this time. I'm fairly confident he'll come to the game in 5th, probably souped with DoK.
>>97621753>Especially now that we're starting to get some actual malerion rumours after all this time.We have nothing
>>97621784It's not a lot but arguably more than we've ever had.There's also the reformation guy straight up saying soon to someone asking about mally.Umbraneth bros we're so fucking back.
>ANCIENT AELVEN GODS REBORN>Symmetry and cyclicity are at the heart of aelven society, seemingly inescapable concepts to which even their gods are beholden. Of the ascended gods of the Lumineth, the twins Tyrion and Teclis are paramount. They represent in turn that which is solar and that which is lunar. Their saga extends deep into the ancient lore of the aelves, to a time before the birth of the Mortal Realms and the Age of Myth.>During those distant days, the aelven gods were not beings who walked the earth, as they do now in these benighted times. Tyrion and Teclis carry, to some extent, the mantles of the ancient aelven deities Asuryan and Hoeth respectively. They are not alone, for there are other aelves who claim to act as the representative of or believe who claim to act as the representative of or believe themselves to be the avatar of one of the ancient pantheon. It is hard to deny the apparent cyclicity at work, especially where Teclis and Tyrion are concerned. Whether wise and benevolent Lileath, Vaul the smith or inscrutable Nethu, there is an echo of reincarnation in the twins' ascension, for in all things, the aelves are subject to a mythic pattern destined to repeat.
Does a fine anon have a copy of the BoK tome for 4th edition ?
>>97621975I think i do, but i won't be home for hours, so wait
>>97621975Where is this from? I assume it's the same dude that did that archaon vs siggy duel artwork? Quite a similar style, I like it even though it's pretty different from what you'd usually associate with warhammer
>>97621753>That being said neither the aos team nor the playerbase has ever cared much for the dark elf part of citiesSpeak for yourself no models secondary. Anvilgard was one of my favorites, and executioners, darkspears and sorceress were extremely common in lists all throughout 2nd and 3rd edition, until the latest abortion book was shat onto our plates.
>>97622057Look man I'm not entirely happy about it either but let's be real the second they released nuCoS in 3rd that's all the faction is about now. You can take a look at the cos subreddit and you can scroll for hours before you spot a model that isn't part of the new range.(I never personally cared that much about darkling covens or whatever but I'm pretty bummed about dorf stuff leaving, and the few empire remnants like the luminark/hurricanum)
>>97622031Yes, yes it is, and that art was one of my first steps into Age of Sigmar. It's from a pretty nifty board game, out of print since, that's called Gorechosen. You can find all you need to play online though, there's even detailed pictures of at least one board.
>>97622070Did they re-use it recently? I swear i saw it somewhere other than the 10 year old sidegame
>>97622070Man I've been following aos off and on since 2016 and I have absolutely no recollection of that game, wild. Cool stuff though.
>>97621975gofile.io/d/WU92Vq
>>97622091Not that I know, perhaps in a WD ?>>97622096It came out in 2016 very close to launch, it was a great way to get on board with Blades of Khorne because the box contained 4 heroes for a pretty low price, in addition to having rules for some of the heroes available in the original Starter Set. I recommend giving it a try as it's incredibly quick to learn, and quick to play. Not the greatest depth, but some fun stuff. 4 player rounds are stupid fun. We still play it among my friend group sometimes.

Anyone here happen to own the ""new"" fanatics? Do you get any extra spiky balls or are the ones you get on the cover all? Tried looking at the sprues but kind of hard to see whether or not a bit fits into another bit to make a ball or if it's the whole thing. Purely talking about the iron balls here, not the mushroom variants.Would like to use one for a conversion but also don't want to leave a gobbo ball-less of course. Seems cruel :)Thanks on advance.
>O lord, teach us in the ways of bloatmaxxing.
>>97622339that looks like a lady, not a lord
>>97622339From where is that art?Also, did anyone share new OBR tome?
>>97622391>did anyone share new OBR tome?Not yet
>>97622305You get enough balls/mushrooms to make all balls or all mushrooms so you can take it
>>97622430Thanks but I meant do you get 5 or 6 balls. Could I take one ball for a conversion and still have enough of the iron ones left over for a full unit of normal fanatics?
>>97622448You get 4 spiky balls, 1 round ball, and 5 mushroom balls

WHO THE FUCK keeps writing faction tactics in 1D6Chan for Helsmiths of Hashut?!?This is tactics written when HoH were just released and writers state that Bull Centaurs are basically meh/okay. https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Age_of_Sigmar/4th_Edition_Tactics/Chaos/Helsmiths_of_HashutNow let us check actual math in Reddit post below:https://www.reddit.com/r/HelsmithsofHashut/comments/1ndgo6p/how_strong_are_these_units_answered/Bull Centaurs hit like a fucking freight train. AD Is average damage. "Bull Centaurs on the other hand are clear winners in this book.29.17 ADon the charge, not including their MW charge ability. Absolutelyinsane! They are one of the hardest-hitting single-activation units in the game, even beating out Aggradon Lancers with2rage tokens! (27.93 AD). You're going to want a reinforced unit in every list.For comparison, unpledged Varanguard deal exactly 28.0 AD on the charge (not including their second fight), but Khorne varanguard still have them beat at 36.0 AD. "
>>97622631Who the fuck even reads -chan wikis in current year+10?
>>97622631That Canadian pajeet who got buck broken by Hashut because HoH and Hashut specifically "insult his deities" maybe?Fucker said GW should remove HoH from game and shilled against Helsmiths for months.
>>97622568Cringe
>>97615863We're in the second year of 4th edition. 1 year before the GHB is nothing.
>>97622769The flopslopper is annoying as fuck but those latter two posts are very obvious falseflags come on now>>97622853Pre and post ghb 1st edition are very different beasts anon. 1st edition didn't have points and shit before the general's handbook dropped. All the meme shit secondaries get mad about is pre ghb stuff. Then post ghb you get the actual game, as well as kino shit like malign portents. They were two very different periods. The 2016 general's handbook is the actual foundation of aos imo.
Is bl not doing the yearl bl submission contest this year?
>>97623075Is "stroking in the sword" in picrel a euphemism?Anyway, I don't think they've announced any for this year. But is it actually every year? I don't remember any for 2024 either.
Archie won btw. Kind of a foregone conclusion, though.https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/2vflzaxp/warhammer-relics-2026-the-warhammer-merch-festival/
>>97623106>Not ones to rest on their laurels, they’re also hard at work on the next statue in the larger 1:6 scale series – but what – or who – could it be? Mannfred?
>>97623106To nobody's surprise. The ultimate guide does look relatively fun as a sort of coffee table book too. Didn't they bundle it with a mini for 40k's version or am I confusing things?Anyway, there's also this bounder from weta workshop for those interested. Looks kind of ugly though, but I guess that's rather on purpose.
>>97623122The squig looks crusty.
>>97623106I wonder if the whfb leftovers in cos survived long enough to make it into this book, and if so, if they actually have painted models on round bases to put in here.Seems fun enough, either way. How much was the 40k one, anyone know?
Is it possible to weaponize the life force of Ghur? Turn someone into feral monstrosity or something?
We really need a new stabba kit, even if it's something like the skull pass starter: same assets but posed dynamically
>>97623219There's a novella of just that, where a tzaangor is turning villagers into beastmen. Thondia had city settlers turned into beastmen too but they were presented as still loyal to Sigmar, but ofc it's likely the Stormcast would've showed up later to genocide them so that obviously wouldn't last
>>97623219yes, but also noturns out wild magic doesn't like being controlled, so wild magic casters are generally people who unleash or herald it, not quite shape or weaponise itbut there's wiggle room, ghur can turn someone into a furry, yes
>>97622871The core rules from 1st to 2nd didn't change save what I listed. Points weren't there for a year and the meme rules were invalidated a few months after release and they were never intended to be seriously played. The main difference is the first year lacked points and army composition outside of GA didn't exist, so you get a Fyreslayers battletome without traits or artefacts - they later received them in the GHB.
>>97623224The regular stabbas hold up fine imo (except their weapons they're kind of meh), but shootas do kind of suffer from being multibuild posingwise. Especially the guys holding their quiver and bow just out like that, always looked kind of odd to me.That being said in the grand scheme of things they're fine, I can't imagine they're a hot priority right now. You also have to consider from gw's point of view, many people aren't too keen to rebuy and repaint 40 gits, even if the new kit is slightly better looking. Those resources are better spent introducing a new unit a lot of people will buy. Like armoured goblins or whatever, just spitballing here.
alright but this goes kinda hard tho
>>97623348Scroll up like 6 posts anon
>>97623201The book probably already made so I wouldn't be surprised if old WFB models make it in sans that Gorebeast Chariot that already been shownwonder if DK will do HH and TOW books as well
>>97619100Katakros is a cool dude and I like how his flaws are presented while he still gets to be a badass.As for location, I've always thought Hammerhal is a cool idea, a city of two realms connected by a portal.
>>97623106no Soulbound newsI'm not sure I get the point of the Spearhead mats. Would you really want to play a game that has two company logos plastered in the corner?
>reading through new OBR rules>kavalos riders get their extra d3 of damage as long as the liege-kavalos is within combat range of them>the liege-kavalos does *not* need to be in combat himself>it's not a once per turn abilitiy eitherHehehehe. You can have a single liege-kavalos (with imperious will for extra damage if you want) just run behind a line of kavalos units and all of them can use him for their ability. It's super silly, especially since it can mean the liege-kavalos runs the length of the board if you go in hard enough on it.
>>97623417GW just need to sell some terrain to represent the objectives and their radius then provide measurements for battle plans. I know DIYers do it already but this shit is such a bad look for THE miniatures wargame. Legitimately worse than Runewars or any board game.
>>97623466Isn't it mostly to appeal to TCG players or at least Card game store owners?I know Ultra Pro does a lot of ancillary products for MtG and Yu-Gi-Oh.
>>97623253Really hate how they teased us with what modern-quality shootas could look like with Zarbag's Gitz
>>97623417Wouldn’t expect and new for soulbound until late 2026 at least seeing as how they’re hiring still.
>>97623238>>97623237Thank you. but I thought about a slightly different scenario: last millennium I played a wizard (AD&D Planescape) that was simply opening Gate to Elemental Fire or Elemental Lightning and scorching everything in front of him (sometimes teleported particularly powerful critters to Elemental Vacuum.) Is the same trick possible in AoS? Open portal to Hysh and scorch everyone with unbearable light? Open portal to Ghur and turn your enemies into beasts and watch as they turn upon themselves? Open portal to Chamon and turn them into golden statues (and sell them for profit)?
>>97623487Aren't zarbags gits like 8 years old or something at this point too?Anyway yeah they're great IF they ever get around to a stabba/shoota refresh I really hope they'll look something like that. Just slightly improving on the original minis with better poses etc.
>>97623122>>97623348These things cost like a thousand bucks right? sad to say im probably gonna paypig...
>>97623565It's a $179 on their site>https://www.wetanz.com/us/boingrot-bounder
>>97623571oh nice. I can probably even get two then. Just one for now though.
>>97623580Compared to the other Weta pieces they make for GW, it's very cheap, like Skragrott is $799, and he's not even in the higher price range of models
>>97623590I imagine the amount of people that want to pay $800+ on a skragrott statue has to be pretty slim right? Or maybe I just don't know enough about the big statue market. I suppose they think the same about somebody paying $40 for a single character mini the size of a single finger joint.
This game gives all their minis great legs. Respect to the sculptors.
>>97623590it's because it's 1:10, not 1:6
Boxes you wish you had gotten.It would just be another for the pile but I still yearn for all these buggers.
>>97624209Wasn't this viewed as shit for being unfocused as fuck?
>>97624209Wait a minute they killed this spearhead? The only gits one you can buy now is the shitmob one? Fuck off gw
>>97624267I will probably never have a whole gitz army but I want a spearhead to play and the models are cool.
>>97623520A portal to the realm does not flood the area with enough magic to do those things. People live their whole lives in a realm without turning into beasts.However, you could try and do something with a corresponding realmstone, as they have similar properties being crystalized magic.https://ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/Amberbone
>>97623219
>>97624386The realm's edge is kind of thickly saturated with the realm's respective magic to get effects such as the ones he described. Didn't tyrion burn out his eyes by staring at the edge of hysh?
>>97623219Sarlacc Pit terrain is jsut ogors summoning Ghur to eat something
>>97624134So he's payable on tabletop then?
>>97624646Would make a decent mangler I reckon, size-wise
>>97624209I should have got this for my TOW orcs n goblins. The only thing that held me back was I don’t really like the aesthetics of the new trolls in that box. I regret it now.
>>97624841wrong thread buddy.
>>97624848I am talking about an AoS spearhead. I can’t get more topical.
>>97624405
>>97624848Shut up fagboy
>>97624267It's very good in the actual spearhead game, and for age of sigmar proper it gives you a good smattering of the main gloomspite subfactions. Everything in there except maybe the loonboss is useful.I wonder what they'll replace it with. Surely they can't mean for the shitty gitmob one to be the only onboarding box for one of the most popular armies in the game. Given that they just did a troggoth battleforce, maybe something squig focused?Let's say two squig herds, a giant cave squig, and a squigboss. That work? Maybe a bit light, could replace one of the squig herds with a squig hopper box. I suppose manglers are a bit too big for SH.
>>97624405>>97624885The reanimated tar pit one was kino
>>97624405RELEASE HIM the more I think about it the more I agree with that one anon who postulated that the idoneth fincarnate was originally meant to be a generic one that got orphaned when the whole incarnate project fizzled out, and they just slapped it on IDK because it fits decently well
>>97625166What would have the Fincarnate have been the incarnate of if it were still generic? Ghur already had the OG, so like the “oceans fury” wouldn’t really have worked for any other realm. I know spider was said to be Ulgu.
>>97625210the original plan was multiple ghur incarnates for some reason, one for each major region on the ghur map
>>97625166It's way too ocean-specific to have been a generic. The only realm that I would associate with water would be ghyran and even that would likely have more of a freshwater angle if they were even making it water related in the first place
>>97624949i wish we got a model of the retch. Also, i want a Dankfeer mini since he is pretty cool.
>>97625210>>97625235The spider incarnate is part of the background art of the galletian beastiary, gallet is a region in the Ghurish heartlands next to thondia, where the krondspine mountaind are located. Presumably all the incarnates would've been from ghur, it was the theme of the edition after all. And what do you know, besides thondia and gallet this large landmass in the heartlands features one other named region, and it's dominated by a craggly coastline full of islands...
>>97625287Whitefang said it was an incarnate of ulgu and the Thondia book ended with the villain, ironically a beast man shaman, going to ulguI don't think it's state they're from ulgu in the recycled gallet stuff, it's just pictured in the background
>>97625287Another less shitty map that shows the full heartlands. Continent with thondia, gallet and andtor on the right. I think by the way korrok to the far east is where chorfs are hanging out now.Anyway, if you actually look at the fincarnate it's remarkably un-idonethy. Not even so much as a little broken temple piece or whatever to establish their presence.It *does* have a prominently featured "heart" in the pearl, similar to how the krondspine has its amberboneI'm telling you that anon was on to something
>>97625166Spidefang are being refreshed and moved to TOW according to credible rumour mongers
>>97625323Yeah makes sense, the whole 3rd edition season of war stuff seems to be a mess given what was scrapped and stuff.I do think we'll see the spider incarnate make an appearance somewhere in some capacity, most obvious would be to dump them in gitz but they already have endless spells, plus I don't think they're quite sure what they want to do with spiderfang yet.
>>97625412The problem with bait like this is that we have autists (me) who know the rumours by heartNah we have no idea what they're planning with spiderfang. There's some indication that they planned to squat them when gitmob came out since they fulfill a similar role but it obviously didn't come to pass. They're still holding on for now.

I want more hobgrots
>>97623897Witch elves and Khinerai have very lickable legs too
>>97626609I like them too, shame they're so completely worthless with zero interaction with the faction mechanic so there's no reason to take them. Maybe they'll get a hobgrot support hero at some point to make them decent but it's such a struggle now. A worthless chaff unit like this should be good for screening for your atillery and ranged units but they're just so much worse than cohort with spears that the points cost isn't enough of a reason to use them. Fuck this fucking retarded captcha fuck you hiroshimoot
>>97626929I almost wanted to assume reinforcing them would maybe make them worth it, seeing that that's only 40 pts over the Cohort, but I don't want to even try.Even Gnoblars would be better - they're in 20s, have some fuck-ass shooting and do Mortals when charged.
That OBR nerd may have won that battle, but I assure you: he hasn't won the war.Traded a bit of excess KO i wound up with for a couple new bits for the court. Sometimes you gotta double down.
