>Which versus box has been your favourite?Counting Warcry? Jade obelisks vs the chameleonsNot counting them then it’s gotta be sylvaneth vs skaven >What would your ideal one (realistically) look like?You know I haven’t a clue how sylvaneth would deal with slaanesh. They should probably be anxious of slaaneshsPotential return but I just can’t really imagine that.
i really liked feast of bones. my ideal box would be Khorne vs OBR, though i cant decide on what it would look like.
Despite being a bit of meme spire of dawn was great value, being just a repackaged starter box and all. I'm sure the 5 or so swifthawk agents players were very happy.I liked fury of the deep for the fun thematics of fire dwarves vs water elves, though I remember it being kind of a crummy discount and unexciting selection of units. Not like they had much choice with either faction of course.
>>97652901>Which versus box has been your favourite?Uniroincally the 1st ed AoS box, the sigmarites vs blood god dudes one.What would your ideal one (realistically) look like?Same box but with new models
>>97652972I recently snagged the stormcast half and plan to run it as the skaventide spearhead, just gotta find a little gryph hound. The paladins will make for some good annihilators if I ever wanna turn it into a full stormie army. Pretty nifty box, I believe vandus is the only stormcast still in production from the original guys? Before the vanguard stormcast dropped, that is.
>>97652901>TQEither Looncurse or Blightwar with old Neave and HorticulusFeels like we haven't had a versus box in a while, last one was with the new Curseling no?
>>97653039
>>97653039Rumours say the next versus box is going to be TOW. Wood elves vs Tomb Kings
>>97652986>I recently snagged the stormcast halfBaller
>>97653061That's a really odd pairing
>>97652901Coming from the Fantasy board, made me laugh, OP
>>97653086Its whats going on in the narrative right now, liche priest is poking around Athel Loren seeking power
>>97653051Last 3 boxes had the best artwork.
>>97653051>1 box with StormcastsIt's so nice to have a game system that doesn't have to jack off one army constantly
>>97652972God early sigmar art fucking sucked
>>97653281The art is fine. The problem is the colors look like the box was left in the sun for a decade even when it was new.
>>97653086It's such an odd pairing that I believe it. Also like >>97653097 said. Can't wait to see new Wood Elf plastics. Kurnothi guy is going to love it (or hate it)
>>97653293I’m going to have to agree with the other guy. Lots of great AoS art throughout the years. That box art was absolute ass.
>>97653293>The art is fine.Okay lol
lads, whats the cheapest you've seen the Darkwater set go for? Is $185 a steal for it?
>>97653585The longer you wait the bigger the discount. They way overprinted and demand overall was low looking at third party stock.
>>97653585I've only seen it go to $216 in the united states, so thats a bigger discount than I've seen at least. >>97653603what makes you say that? On ebay it seems to be selling a bit still. I dont remember the specific number but flipside gaming sold over 100 of them before selling out completely in the morning on pre order day. my lgs also has it rotating in and out still.
>>97653086Not really.They want to replace the hideous old TO skeletons and they want to move old WE product. So they force all the TK people to pay for WE they want to get rid of
>>97653727The rumour states it’s going to be a starter box equivalent meaning all new sculpts only.
>>97653281>>97653482I think that one's pretty sick personally.
>>97652901Shadow and Pain as it was my entry into AoS, was ridiculous value for money. Bought it for about as much as a regular Spearhead. Sold half of it. So pretty much got a half price Spearhead.Dream, DoK vs Gitz as they're my two armies.
>>97653482It's gotten good within the last couple years,.probably with 3rd edition. Before that it was absolute comic book tier crap
>>97653859Also no coomer pics coomer hater.I will wait until the next thread until I post more. I promise.But I'm not the only Morathi coomer so can't account for the rest of them
Wallah!
>>97653262>It's so nice to have a game system that doesn't have to jack off one army constantly>says he while all starter boxes are exclusively sigmarines vs ...
Added a lil more paint to this wip. Kinda changed my plans for my paint scheme on this mini because it turns out I fucking love grey. Also I should probably add a lamp onto the list of things to buy because it’s impossible to see jack shit unless I’m painting by my window.
>>97653955Yeah a lamp is necessary
>>97653943If Stormcasts were remotely like Space Marines they'd get new models every three months, forever.
>>97653881Different points on the same timeline, after all :^)
>>97653980>If Stormcasts were remotely like Space MarinesThey would be included into every starter box
>>97653989They are
>>97652934>WarcrySorry, anon.
>>97654480I wish they would just update the new stuff that came out with nurgle and and the recent releases. I dont even really care for new boxsets, the rules are perfect as is. Although I would buy into a reprint of old box sets like the one with iron golems or catacombs.
>Kairos is (presumably) in ghyran atm and is in the middle of fucking Nurgle over by literately crystalizing his landsIs that a new feature for Tzeentch? Crystilization? I mean it does fit I guess, but usually I thought it was just wyrd flame, chaos spawn, and other body mutations.
>>97654480
There are 3 warcry players in my local scene and theyre all unbearable faggots
>>97654480>>97654531It's sad. Warcry is such a good game >>97654585Why? Our Warcry group is super chilled.
I fundamentally hate VS boxes as an idea.No i'm not collecting both of those factions.No i'm not buying tbe box together with some random guy who collects the other.No i can't be bothered to sell half the box online.
>>97654624as someone with actual friends i've enjoyed splitting them over the years. me and a buddy usually go in on at least 1 a year, usually over the summer, as well as the edition launch boxes.
>>97653881They're surrounded...
>>97654763What happens if you both want the same half of the box?
>>97653727>They want to replace the hideous old TO skeletonsoh man I hope there's truth to those rumors, I was putting off buying the basic skellies hoping they'll refresh them eventually
>>97654508it's not a new thing, tzeentch has a crystal labyrinth around his fortress and we already had his realm and nurgle's realm at war with each other, expanding the garden or the labyrinth into the other's territory
>>97653061That's apparently supposed to be kind of like a starter set, so all new minis instead of just the one.We have a similar rumour for CoS vs Eshin "spearhead starter set".>>97653087I'm glad you enjoyed my stupid joke
>>97654624Ya don't gotta buy them.Alternately, if you don't want to deal with waiting for 2 armies you want to be packaged together and don't want to deal with haggling to try to sell the other half, you can just make it a christmas or birthday gift to a friend who collects that army.
>>97653051If you count them out only seraphon, soulblight, StD, CoS, warclans and (obviously) SoB have never been in one of these, though warclans were in the 3rd edition launch box of course and CoS are getting one of those soon if rumours are to be believed. Oh, and neither were beasts of chaos, and of course helsmiths of hashut.Sylvaneth, Tzeentch, Slaanesh, Skaven, and DoK have been in two of these.A lot of very popular factions never got one, and quite a bit of relatively unpopular ones got two. I think the intent behind these boxes was fairly obvious.
>>97655035>and (obviously) SoBWith Lady of Vines in one this isn't so obvious
>>97655066she's big for a dry ad but smol for a gant
>>97655035>SoBYou could technically do it, it would just be funny because the SoB side of the box would be literally one model.
>>97655066I always forget how big she is. She's like kurnoth hunter size in my head. Still not quite gargant level though, even the small ones.>>97655087It'd basically be the spearhead of just three mancrushers. I don't think that'd even be that much more than some of the other sides, I think it's like 180 euros for 3 mancrushers if bought separately? I know their spearhead is more expensive than usual, which is funny because it's not even the most value one, the new idoneth spearhead works out to exactly 200 euros yet the spearhead is still normal priced lol
Didn't 40k have a knight VS-Box?
>>97655190Not quite. They had an admech vs necron box that included the two armigers (+ a 10 man unit of admech infantry and a techpriest hero guy).Problem is that SoB don't have little guys to pair with the big guys like admech do. Also worth noting that costwise the armigers come in pairs and there only slightly more expensive than even a single mancrusher (€80 vs €61.50).They could've done something like an ogre/orc/git box that includes an allied gargant but that's a bit more iffy than admech where knights are more integrated into the actual faction (afaik).
>>97655190It had two, one was a knight vs knight boxset with terrain and a completely different set of rules for big-to-big combat
>>97655208Oh shit I didn't even know this existed.What was the discount on this thing vs just buying the two knight?
>>97655208What's even the point of that terrain?Would we count the HH boxes like Saturnine as Vs boxes or not?
>>97655295>What's even the point of that terrain?tanking the value of the box's discount and of multiple purchases
>>97655295>Would we count the HH boxes like Saturnine as Vs boxes or not?I suspect 99%+ of HH boxes are used by 1 person as opposed to split. I mean it's the strength of the system, basically every release can be used by like 20 factions aside from the occasional solar auxilia or legion specific release.
>>97653281Pic unrelated? That box is kino
>>97653051aether wars was kino as fuck, the all-flying theme was really fun. Only downside is that I personally don't really like either of the characters included, the kharadron dude is probably my least favourite sculpt in the whole range.Which is a shame because the new heroes are usually great. Loonboss on cave squig is amazing, so is the arch-revenant. Feast of bones, Shadow and pain also had great heroes, and the curseling from the tzeentch box is great too.
>like 5 LGSes in my vicinity>all of them of just ask GW priceswtf why
>>97655516LGS owners gotta eat, and the retailer prices aren't that much better.
>>97655516So that they earn higher margins and you won't buy from GW cause it's the same + shipping
>>97652901>what would your ideal one look likeSeraphon haven't been in one of these, a skink focused on could be cool. Some skinks, some raptadons, I guess a unit of kroxigor for the symmetry, and then let's say a redone skink priest. I don't know what'd be thematic for them to go up against though, except for skaven. Although half the fun of these boxes is that they sometimes put completely random factions against each other like feast of bones for some cool interactions. So, maybe against gravelords or something out of left field? Seraphon vs ironjawz could be fun too.
>>97655725>redone skink priestWhat's wrong with the current one?
>>97655744Absolutely nothing, it's a great model and holds up perfectly fine, but if we're being realistic I think gw might be looking to replace it sooner rather than later, it still comes with a sculpted square base and everything. Similar situation to the oldblood on foot. (Then again the wight king and necromancer survived without any problem).Actually thinking about it, maybe a skink chief on foot would be a nice pity hero. We have one on a stegadon and on both of the fliers, but they squatted the foot option a few years back.
>>97655793Skink chief on foot would make for a nice pity hero I agree, though one on a raptadon could be cool also, to keep up with raptadons. The current flier chiefs don't actually buff skinks, only their specific respective units. Neither does the stegadon chief I think, so a a raptadon one would be great to buff the hunters/chargers.Though saying that I would fear for the pricing, I mean look at the aggradon scarvet man. He doesn't even look all that different from the lancer champion! Though his aggradon is ever so slightly larger, and he does get a sweet mace weapon option. Nevertheless, it's one of those units that I actually really like the look of but can't bring myself to ever buy. Maybe if I see him for cheap secondhand one day.
i just want seraphon to be good at shooting againi hate spamming aggradons and kroxigors
>>97655978were they ever good at shooting?
>>97655987yes in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ed before their battletome they were an excellent ranged armyeven in 3rd ed you could do some shooting... but the index has completely killed that design
>>97656009I never knew that, with what the fuck did they even shoot? Were skink boltspitters that good? the stegadon ballista thing?
>>97656023combination of bastiladons, stegadons, salamanders, razordons, and EOTG mortal wound blastsfoot skinks were especially deadly in 2nd ed, high volume with crit mortalsbastiladons used to have 9 shots at 2 damage and you could double tap them to shoot twice per turn
>>97655978Well people didn't enjoy playing your faggot skink cloud bullshit.Spam skink riders and terradons then and play serious rat AoS
>>97656090i never spammed skinks... i did something much more degenerate
>>97656103I'm always happy to see gw showcase alternate colours but jeez what an ugly scheme
Im not a fan of flight stands, what are my alternatives for revenant seekers?
>>97656186literally just some sticks you find out in the woodsno seriously some type of wooden treestumps or whatever, shouldn't be too hard to come by or make
>>97656186treems
>still won't have a complete set of both scenery and spells by the end of 4th
>>97656330>ogors >smiths >gargants(?) >nurgle >cities(?) Pretty sure seraphon are rumored to get them, I think cities are too, but idk. Wouldn’t surprise me if smiths get a dawn bringers style box for the end of the edition.
>>97656113It's like they took the Hive Fleet Leviathan scheme and made it worse by removing all the pink that ties the purple and ivory together.
>>97653281(You)
>>97656330>beastmen brayherdsAlso I do wonder if they're sticking to the idea, because it's very odd that they skipped nurgle if they are>>97656348cities are supposed to get one yeah.
>>97656462nurgle had a huge wave already, they're likely keeping the spells to accompany a pity release in 5th
>>97656509Could be yeah
>>97656348>Pretty sure seraphon are rumored to get themWith the coatl secured as a hero model, my only hope for the spells is for them to be random floaty magictech engines like the astrolith>inb4 giant flat swarm base of copy pasted snakes, ethereal carnosaur head emerging out of nothing, and literally the realmshaper engine circle but on a separate base
>>97656617>shitty chinese jungle swarm like the gloomspite spiders>twin tailed serpent>magitek floating crystal star
>>97656617>With the coatl secured as a hero model
>>97656734we got reliable rumormongers now, wake up
>>97655516In what currency?
>>97656793Yuros
>>97656103Warscroll Battalions my beloved
>>97656793I should also mention warhammer in general is dead as fuck in these stores, even 40k. There's a decent community but they all play at a local "rent a table" kind of setup instead of the stores themselves and just order all their shit from online retailers. The only discounts I've seen are on like shit like 3rd edition data cards and boxes that REALLY don't get sold. Even then the discount is pretty conservative, one of these stores has a few dominion boxes left at like a whopping 20% off. One thing that's kind of nice is that they don't really keep up with price increases all that much, and sometimes I find an old box at a great price. Snagged an idoneth start collecting for like 70€, when for example just the namarti alone go for 50€ nowadays, so the whole box end ups at around 170€ if you were to buy them separately at gw prices.But yeah hard to overestimate how little anything moves in these stores. There's still some whfb kits being sold ffs.
>>97652939>though i cant decide on what it would look like.Skull theamed
>>97656330Is it against the official tourneyfag rules to just make your own scenery? I feel like I could make a gnarlmaw or skull altar I'd like better.
>>97656908As long as the footprints match noone gives a fuck
>>97656925Does the height need to match?
>>97656955No
>>97656955Mhm I dunno actually I think that kind of depends on the model in question. Like I've seen people just use base cutouts for the sylvaneth woods because fuck paying money for multiple of those, but for say stuff like the seraphon pyramid that might be different. I'd say it doesn't have to be exact or anything but try to at least get it close. Kind of like how you'd treat a normal model conversion/kitbash.
>>97656989I see, makes sense. Would a GW store manager have a fit if I used handmade terrain equivalents instead of the official kits?
>>97655208AoS version of this box would probalby have 2 different monsters in it. Which is conceptually much cooler, but would make it a worse buy
>>97656999Depends on the manager I'd say. But I think generally stuff you build yourself is fine. It's only third party bits or stuff like that that's a problem. I wouldn't expect any managers to take issue with scratchbuild terrain though.
>>97656999Nice tripsYMMV, as always, but in my experience brick-and-mortar managers have no problems with hand-built terrain or manifestation (most were really interested in the hows and whys), but might frown upon 3D-prints, especially if it's a direct copy of the original.
>>97657022a brawl of two megas would work pretty well all the same
>>97653061>>97653086>>97653097Looks like Jav has backed the rumors, this is from the WE vs TK box rumor thread on the Discord.
>>97657022I feel like they would cheap out on it and just sell the knight draconis with some updated mancrushers or something instead of two big guys.
>>97657180Wrong thread
>>97657180this is hands down the worst rumormonger around
>>97657206Personally I think that goes to valrak because you have to listen to him speak and he dilutes his leaks with his own "rumors". I generally dont like jav either.
>>97657220it takes 2 minutes to sift through valrak's captions and he's clear enough when he says something comes from his source or from his asswhen was the last time that discord faggot said something clear and reliable?
>>97657243>when was the last time that discord faggot said something clear and reliable?Alright you have a point there. Jav is really awful about that as well.
Can Old World get all the Dark Elf stuff Cities of Sigmar aren't using please?
>>97657206Gets shit wrong often, always posts vague bullshit, basically only "leaks" things that have already been talked about by other leakers first. I genuinely don't know why this guy is taken seriously. Maybe in the past he was more credible idk but whenever I see him post stuff now it's just worthless. Like boole posts weird fucking poetry sometimes but at least he's pretty much always right and usually first.I remember one jav posts that got shared that was something along the lines of>legacy factions will maybe be coming, or maybe not, or maybe only some of them>tow will probably get a second edition. at some point. soon. or maybe not. also will probably be compatible with current books. maybe. or maybe not.>there's some stuff in the pipeline for 2026!like this guy never says anything unless it's been confirmed by other actually reliable leakers firstprobably a playtester that leaked a few rules in the early days, got high on the attention and now just vagueposts to try and maintain some relevance
>>97657283Sorry, dark elves are to remain in limbo in all systems for another year. Enjoy your new cauldron terrain and armored ladies.
>>97657292I never understood why people would think these people would want to attention whore with their leaks, but that dude for sure opened my eyes to the possibility for it.
>>97657196Still a decent box if not overpriced
>>97657283I'm pretty sure you can count the amount of CoS players using a primarily dark elf based army these days on a single hand. You can have em for all I care.>>97657301From what I understand his leaks come from discord which definitely paints a picture.I do think the tk vs we box is (somehow) accurate though, since the original leak ended up being right on the money about a bunch of rule stuff. I like both factions in theory so if the models are nice I might pick it up to try out some battle march or whatever. Though I heard wood elves are kind of ass to play as and against.But yeah javgoro "endorsing" this leak means absolutely nothing, it doesn't affect the credibility of the leak one way or another even the slightest bit
Speaking of rumours, do we know anything about underworlds? Since spitewood dropped it was pretty much raidio silence until they randomly revealed those obr guys, and similarily nothing since then. I think it's reasonable to expect a CoS warband to coincide with the big new wave (like blood of the bull for helsmiths) but other than that, who knows.
>>97657636Maybe slayers?
>>97657636Apparently the next uw warbands is "aelves" according to tga, though they don't specify which kind. I'd assume lumineth though.>>97657652I think we'll probably get a khazalid warband once those guys drop yeah
>>97657965I hope it’s sylvaneth again. just one more.bette
>>97657981No more furries, please.
>>97657994It’ll be a furry and the 3 other flavors of (a)elves.
>>97657994granted it's malerion's bara scalies
>>97657981>just one more kurnothi sylvaneth sidegame release bro I promise they'll catch one just one more brosome fucking guy at the side game team just really loves his kurnothi>>97657994imagine though, 4 sylvaneth warbands, 3 of them furries lelcos have 2 warbands and neither of them follow the current cos freeguild aesthetic which is quite funny too
>>97658112>cos have 2 warbands and neither of them follow the current cos freeguild aesthetic which is quite funny tooThat’s a good thing though because cities are more varied than most other factions are supposed to be.
>>97658112>cos have 2 warbands and neither of them follow the current cos freeguild aestheticYou mean the one that's Van Denst mixed with the dog guys?Yeh 0 connection there
>>97658048scalies are a subtype of furry thoughbeit
This isn't the thread I was looking for.
This is the thread I was looking for.

There should be an army that’s scaled to 7-8mm for Aos.
>>97658164we're talking about underworlds here
>THE ACCURS'D KHARADRON>There are few species that the Omniscient One despises more than the duardin. Broadly, these grubby, graceless creatures lack any capacity for true change, their ambitions curtailed by vapid oaths of duty. Of their kind, however, the Kharadron are worthy of his interest. Unlike their terrestrial kin, these sky-duardin compete and scheme in a manner most pleasing to the Change God.>Kharadron are still obstinate beasts, of course, and they are difficult to manipulate through illusion and implanted suggestion. Yet within their dog-eat-dog politics, there is space for my master to work his craft. My own agents patrol the docks of Barak-Zilfin's visitors' quarter gathering intelligence. Commerce practised on the scale at which the Kharadron empire operates cannot help but leave knotted threads of intrigue.>There will come a day when all these delicate strands will unravel. The true master of Chamon will bring the duardin's sky-empire crashing down, as he did their sorpid civilisations of old. The Kharadron have sealed their fate with their continued defiance in the Aether War and their blasphemous use of magic-smothering technology .
>>97655228It was actually pretty sick, you got a whole extra knight for like $30 or $40But only one of them had the warden upgrade sprue
>>97658565Yes. Hexbane is the existing witch hunter heroes mixed with future warcry scouts

>>97660306>magic old man looks like magic old man
>>97660372Do greenskins even age?
>>97660398yes. during broken realms there was a short story about an old Ork who had a vision of Kragnos.
>>97660398yes, old orc shamans are an archetype
>>97660372If it ain't broke
wtf how did GW get away with this unit
>>97660615It's "foid" newsoy
Sigmar models are so good they genuinely make me question if I even want to get into 40k
>>97660636it's not that aos models are good, it's that marines fucking suck
>>97660636A part of me still wants to collect tau or catachan guard, but I’m too into sylvaneth and seraphon atm. Probably won’t have the space for anything else too.
>>97660636Bruh.
>>97660705I mean that one is pretty shit, but I was looking at models and something like this absolutely mogs like 99% of 40kshit
>>97660705Is there any range with a 100% hit rate?
>>9766070540k versions look like this
>>97660615If you invent a new fantasy creature like this, with the "Fomoroid", what you need is a distinctive instantly recognizable look, so the creature doesn't just look like "generic monstroid" and has a personality.The "Fomoroid" needed a distinctive color, not this muted mess.Blue or yellow or orange skin, or maybe pitch black if they wanted to be grittier.Now it just looks like "some generic thing".I get it, the "two color" variation between top and bottom was meant to be the "thing" that makes it recognizable, but it doesn't work. Not committing to a single color (nor to a pattern like dots or stripes or whatever) makes it even more generic.
>>97660705these are good models, they even have boob armor and sexy hips - it's a pity to lose the "naked" aesthetic but if these were the exception (only they get to wear a shirt) I'd actually be ok with it, they look "more armored" just because they have a black flannel on....alas they're likely the first wave of Daughters of Khaine: Burqa version, but for now, I can pretend they are an exception and enjoy it.
>>97660758>these are good modelsDo not be a hog.
>>97660749>so the creature doesn't just look like "generic monstroid"but the goal was for it to be a generic monstroid
>>97660749It's a Chaos Cyclops anon. It came with Chaos Sphinx and Chaos Minotaur, fallowed by Chaos Centur
>>97660736Kruleboyz - but that's because I like the SLAMBO Hobgrot
>>97660705>Posts cool modelsWay to prove his point.
>>97660758>Burqa versionI'm sure if (You) keep saying that someone will laugh eventually.
>>97660831it's not a joke, nobody's laughing.
OK I'm waiting for the punchline
>>97660816There are people who don't like this guy?!

if I was to make an army for open/narrative play (I'm no longer interested in matched play at all) I'd probably make a full Hobgrot army
>>97660905orruks
>>97660972Orruk high
>>97660972or what?
>>97660905It's a hobgoblin though.
>>97660816You don't know what Slambo is and the model is talking about is not in the Slambo pose.
>>97661034kind of crazy how you and the others immediately understood what model I meant with perfect accuracy
>>97661057how many hobgrots hero models do you think there are?
>>97653980And they would also get refreshes and get their own version of primaris and have a bunch of shit they don't need so their roster is bloated as fuck.You know how GW really failed with stormcasts? Furries. They should have made a stormhost of werewolves. Call them Land Wolves, lead by Lime Pole.
>>97655208it only cost 140 bucks in 2017, gw would charge 275 now.
>>97655383wtf why are the thousand sons in age of sigmar?
>>97661096The Warp has many doors.
>>97661096That's not aos, that's chamon, look at the votann.
>>97661066I never said it was a hero, I just said "the slambo hobgrot"
>>97661146how many singular hobgrot products are there? retard
>>97661088>furry stormcast God please, never this. Truly an awful combination of things, I don’t want to see wolf pelts on armor again.
>>97660736I can't think of a nighthaunt model I dislike. Not my favorite army but definitely consistent.
>>97652947Swifthawk Agent player here, I do miss them. I miss the 1e design of having a bunch of microfactions that you pulled together from the same GA. I was hoping each microfaction would get 2-3 rules, then your army could be 2-3 distinct microfaction detachments. Would feel like a Lord of the Rings battle, you have your elf detachment, your humans, etc. Then they bitched out and went back to fagtasy game design, and then they followed the 40k tourneytranny community and the game fucking sucks now
>>97661177it's not tournamentsit's not fantasy game designs (they actually have allies and mercenaries)it's gw's short term economic interests favouring that new players spend as much as possible into one range, and needing to spend just as much should they want to play with another, instead of having a more approachable and flexible system of modular purchases
>>97661150I never said it was a singular hobgrot product
>>97661177First Edition my beloved
>>976611771st is peak. It's why me and my mates still play it (although 2nd is probably the best the rules have ever been imo)
>>97661151Black Space Wolves have only improved 40k and will improve Age of Sigmar too.
>>97661129GW actively hates having models cross over from system to system like using 30k cultmech vehicles is disallowed in 40k admech since fires of cyraxus never came out except specifically tzaangors and tzeentch daemons can easily form the basis of a TS army. Make it make sense.
>>97661214You referred to a singular hobgrot, how many singular hobgrots do you think there are?
craziest thing about hobgrots costing sixty bucks is that I got about 10 of them on ebay for like 10 bucks in 2023.
>>97661249It do be like dat
>>97661203Shut the fuck up leftroon, you freakish MTG refugees fled to wargames and inflicted the same blights upon it. The GW space is a shell of what it once was, just hordes of WAACtroons practicing for the next tournament on a shitty looking board with a shitty looking army playing a shitty looking game.
>>976612352e with 1e's faction design would have been the perfect game. Sadly 40k got popular in the MTG refugee audience and AoS was retooled to follow suit.
I was thinking the Revenants on bugs would be cool for a Qorl Empire kitbash but>60 bucksA little pricy for a side project, like the guy who wants to use ghouls for Khrave.
>>97661339>2e with 1e's faction design would have been the perfect gameTRVTH NVKE
>>97661382That's really cool!
>>97660858The price they ask for a singlehobgrot is disgusting though
>>97661770Standard kit comes with parts to make like 5-10 more, so go wild there
>>97660858He looks really plain. I'd rather use the slitta champion with the hook hand.
>>97661770That's crazy talk, I'm sure everyone loves paying $45 for a single goblin. (I largely stopped buying pity heroes in general for this reason, honestly)
>>97660736>SoulbightNothing I hate, but certainly a few I don't think I'd go out of my way to get. Like the Vamp lord on foot with the bat hair. >NurgleNot entirely my bag, but I can't deny that the range just has hit after hit and I don't think there's anything bad there. Nurglebros eternally eating.>NighthauntThey're all very samey, but pretty much everything looks good.
>>97654763>as someone with actual friendsNo need to brag anon
>>97660736after templguard are gone I dont think there's much that's visually haunting seraphon. I think the flyers are generally expensive for what they are but maybe there's something in that kit that im not seeing.
>>97662028The Oldblood is pretty bad by modern standards. And while they aren't bad, I personally wish GW had gone full crocodile on the new Kroxigors. I love the Total War ones. I have to imagine the Skinks are up for a refresh sooner rather than later too.

Dead game dead general
How long does a troggoth mating session last
Has anyone made or seen any conversions of the Harbinger of Decay into something like a grim reaper or horseman of the apocalypse? It looks like it would make for a great herald of death/Nagash
>>97662167it's for life: the male troggoth latches onto the female's rear and starts mating with her until their regenerative flesh melds and the male becomes practically a sperm producing organ embedded deep into the hag's asscheeksthe hag won't seek another male until the last one has died, but more often than not her reproductive organs will have accumulated enough sperm for her to keep birthing troggothlings for the rest of her life
>>97662174I've seen it converted as a wight king steed but beyond that nah. If you wanted an idea to do it just remove the nurglifciation on the model and fix it up with putty. Maybe add some chains. Also loads of purple flowers with a skull in them for basing.
>>97662174>into something like a grim reaper or horseman of the apocalypseThat's what it already is basically
>>97652901>Really want a Clan Moulder themed army - can get ogres for dirt cheap right now (£6.99 with that magazine), throw in some storm vermin and other moulder units for a fully themed list>Always loved Clan Pestilens and said for over 2 decades now if I ever do Skaven it would be Pestilens themedHelp me decide bros. A rat army of heavy elites or horde army of stinky rats? I feel like I could easily include more variety of units for Pestilens, easier to paint them green robed and paint on a few boils than convert clanrats to have two heads and 3 arms for Moulder
>>97662312>Always loved Clan Pestilens and said for over 2 decades now if I ever do Skaven it would be Pestilens themedA bit too late for that fren. All jokes aside I'd just wait for them to get updated because the models are kinda awful to work with.They'll probably get them updated sometime next edition, maybe. With that being said ogres are good. Storm vermin...not so much.
>>97662312Did you know that clan pestilens, before it was known as such back when it was trying to carve a way for itself in lustria, started out as a warrior clan with a lot of bought moulder beasts under their command?so the answer is to make a pestilens themed moulder army, with boils and religious text over the large monsters

You shouldn't be allowed to buy/use contrastslop until you can demonstrate you can basecoat and highlight decently with normal paints.

>>97663465>>97663469>>97663491These are gaming pieces. Looks good to me.Not winning a best painted but done better than most stuff I see at events. I'd cool with looking at these for a couple hours of gaming.

>>97663540>painted 80+ models in 2026>look inside>it's all contrast sloppa
>>97663465I'm going to call you a contrastslopper. Not because I want to hurt your feelings. But because I want you to be pushed into learning how to paint and gaining pride from actually painting rather than slopping.
>>97663565There's only a few contrasts worth using. The rest have a shitty finish to them.
>>97663465Top left blue dude, what color is that please?
What's with the seething at contrast paintIs it just a "it's too easy it doesn't count" type situation
>>97663644Mostly because people don't know how to use it effectively and just slop it on a model hence contrast slop
>>97663690Isn't that how they're pretty much supposed to be used?
>>97663703That's how GW markets them so that sloppers afraid to paint buy contrast paints
>>97663703They should be used to lay down a quick base coat with built in highlights. They you use regular paint to actually ad the detail and cover the guaranteed splotches.
>>97663977Also to actually highlight as well for most contrast paints.
If I print proxies I need some kind of limiting factor to stop me from, making a god deck right? Only uncommons? No mythics?

Oh, I guess not 100% since the soulrender looks ass>>97664609Tbf 'mid' compared to the rest of black library instantly lands you in the top 10
By the way, everyone's favourite rumourslopper posted some rules yesterday. Would've shared them earlier but the jannies banned me for a day for making fun of an obvious bait thread because of course they didAnyway, looks like the archknight gallants are 2 wounds, and cogfort is going to be able to transport units, and the gargant unit has a cannon on their platform, which kind of sounds like a optional build thing? and a bunch of other stuff in picrel.
>>97665236Cool. Not sure how i feel about this form of GW marketing, but it's better than silence
>>97665371I think on the whole rumourmongers are more likely to be legit rather than some gw intern but boole is definitely raising my eyebrows a bit on that front.
>>97665385Neh i'm a firm believer of the fake rumour ecosystem theory.As in the rumour are real, but they aren't leaks, they are coordinated announcments
>>97665488Some definitely are, like boole is pretty suspicious and I'm like 90% fatrsk is used by gw to drum up hype, but there's some genuine bonafide leaks too.When horus heresy got a bunch of their 3rd edition rules leaked the leaker wrote a bunch of slurs everywhere. Unless gw is telling their marketing team to go full local I think that one was genuine.
>>97665498>horus heresy got a bunch of their 3rd editionYou mean 2nd? Or did they churn through it extra fast?
>>97665236I really want to know more about the coatl
>>97665505I don't actually know. The one that started last summer. I think that's third?>>97665511I think it was kind of implied that a skink hero would be riding on it. Though maybe that's people misreading different rumours and getting them confused.
>Cogshit instead of Order of Azyr and devoted >Ugly ass flagellant models that may as well be sold with TOW branding for how obvious the inevitable squat is >TOW gets the War Altar back despite the Hurricanum never leaving

>>97665657Good. More cogfoppery and whimsy, less potato sacks.
>>97665657the hurricanum is leaving
>>97665657>Cogshit insteadCogfort is THE most hyped model in CoS history. I'm shocked and baffled it wasn't here last edition
>>97665736This release could make or break the cities of sigmarIf cogfort, foot knights and bardiche gunners are good, then the faction will attract a flood of guardfags from 40k
>>97665732Is it? Fits better with CoS than it ever did with empire desu. >>97665751Definitely more or an elite feeling wave. I don't know about guard players but I do think the "normal humans" niche has been underutilized in sigmar so far, I can see it doing very well.

>>97665895It's for nothing but good goy pointsthey could have painted the models as wearing a skintight suit without the need of having any suit detail sculpted, giving as much freedom as possible to the hobbyists, but instead they had to add those details to force people to paint them one way and one way only

>We don’t have too many factions left to dig into, and who knows where we’ll go from there? Here’s a hint: it rhymes with… Uh… Bigmar.From the latest "art throughout the years" article from warcom. I don't know if anyone cares about this stuff but looks like they're going to fo it for AoS factions too.
>>97666286Clearly they're talking about Pigmar

>>97667083Because it's not truth.Aesthetically unit matching rest of the army, it doesn't matching only WHFB leftovers.
