Who is your least favorite new character? Why?
Bros...we lost Duncan...
>TQyou're gonna have to define new here, I guess for 4th edition I liked the new death bringer. Least favorite has to be the hobgoblin hero for kruel boyz, but at least its an easy kitbash. For named characters Im just happy tornus got recognized.
Post your kitbashes
>>97726856fucking sideways post goddammit
>>97726866Looks cool anon. The staff and the book will stand out when painted I’m sure.
>>97726874I think I'm going to try my hand at some OSL highlights for the flame bits. might need to mess with my airbrush more first, the spray strength is not as consistent as I'd like it to be.
>>97726808>Who's your favorite new character?gobsprakk>Who is your least favorite new character? also gobsprakksuch a dissapointing character. they set him up as this greasy, wily clever orruk who was manipulating everything from behind the scenes, tricking lords of change, manipulating gods, it finally felt like we were gonna get a proppa schemer, like skragrott was supposed to be, but just like skragrott they wasted him and did nothing with him and "da plan" just turned out to be a big nothingburger like destruction always does because the AoS writers fucking hate destruction for some reason and they must eternally job.
Now that the dust has settled, why did the Helsmiths of Hashut flop?
>>97726893>GobsprakkNot to mention he's like $180 for around 180 points or whatever the fuck he ended up being. Centerpieces should not be cheap-ass throwaway units, it's insulting.
>>97726362Like others have said. Underwhelming but not surprising. I wish GW had decided to paint the body stockings rather than mould them. Removes choice from the consumer which is a bad thing
>>97726856You absolutely need to remove the paint from that flying disc. That thick paint layer is ruining all the detail and will only be further evident if you start painting on top of it.
>>97726856Stab "grot"
>>97726808>TQBest id Brodd worst is Zoggrok
>>97726808>TQMy favourite character is whatever named elf character we get with the Kurnothi release.My least favourite character is that Giant dude, Brodd.
>>97726934People liked the idea of HoH more so than the actual execution
>>97727293why do you make the same samefag posts everytime? can you at least change it up
>>97726818>implying he's not just doing all 3 like a gigachad such as myself
>>97726818good
>>97726934I like the Dominators, the Artillery and the Razers. I will not ever paint up Hobgrotz or other slave races, battle cannot be entrusted to lessers.
>>97727374Nigga how retarded do you have to be to reply to a spam bot?Bet you think that Nigerian prince will send you the gold any day now
>>97727384I choose to live sincerely and I hope by leading by example I might encourage shitposters to also post with sincerity.Unfortunately I also sometimes post my raw unfiltered dogshit opinions which gets mistaken for shitposting.
>>97726893Here's the rub.GW writers are speds, retards, cripples and dregs.Not a "proppa schemer" among them.And the problem with writing characters that are smarter than you are, is that it's hard to do it convincing.Even if they wanted to do a good job, they can't.The quality of writers even willing to work on a project like this is low-mid at best, because AOS is, whether you love it or loathe it, a corporate hatchet job rework of a classic, and therefore, has the narrative mark of doom on it that any decent writer will see a mile off and stay clear from; it's life is borrowed, and what is borrowed is only temporary.
>>97727443look what crawled out of the wfgget back in your hole cretin
>>97727443That's a fallacy, you don't need to be smarter.An author has the liberty of time, the ability to back track and also have total knowledge
Did they post a HQ version of this photo?
>>97727333Based, I do the same. What armies do you collect, anon?
>>97726808>tqI don't really care for characters that much but kurdoss hands down. Lady O is also pretty cool but gets overshadowed a bit. I also like Skragrott's whole deal of capturing priests and shit and putting them in an asylum to predict the bad moon's movement, though I don't know shit about his character beyond that.>least favouriteKragnos probably, though I actually like his model, his whole plot is indicative of the wasted potential that was 3rd edition's narrative
>>97727645Lel
>went from giant flying jellyfish islands gushing skunk water in 1e, to rickety driftwood shacks in 4eAmazing job. The setting is so grounded and believable, a perfect 10/10.
>>97727443>TOW>a classic
>>97727736Background art =/= an actual modelling projectThough that being said 1e had a handful of sovl retarded high fantasy diorama's too
>>97727736You mean the shack that' next to a skull of a 100 meter tall giant and a flying tree vomiting bile?
>>97727443You retards are really desperate lately lmao, its so funny seeing you waste your time in a thread about a game/setting that you dont even play. Then again, I guess you have ample free time since you don't actually participate in the hobby, be it aos, tow or anything else
>>97727758i often remember that guy from a few years back who kept coming in here bitching about how the mortal realms worked.then when pressed on what he actually thought was happening, he turned out to be completely wrong and was just getting angry at his own headcanon of what he supposed the setting to be.
>>97727765I remember that guy. He was seriously worked up, it was pretty funny seeing how mad people can get about what they think x or y is all about without ever taking the time to see what is *actually* all about. Like I won't begrudge anyone for not being into the whole realm thing, but there's really a staggering amount of people who don't actually know what they are and still get mad about them for things that aren't actually true y'know.I think this is kind of on gw, it's a failure of presentation on their part. The amount of times I've heard people say they don't like the "multidimensional" nature of the realms...I think this stems from the shitty 1e maps
>>97727772I think it's just mtg tourists assuming things work the same
>>97727776I don't think so, surely mtg tourists wouldn't be so hung up about planes in the first place.I think it's rather guys who got told the world of fantasy got changed into "multidimensional 40k with sigmarines" on r/totalwar in 2017 or some shit and have never bothered to check if that's trueAgain, I don't blame anyone for not liking the mortal realms, they're still pretty out there as setting go, but it's interesting how many people get them wrong when they're honestly very simple. People think aos is even more high fantasy than it is, which is funny because it's already bonkers off the wall capital h High fantasy.
>>97727736>in 4ein 1st edition
>the forbidden aggreendon
>>97727933I wonder what they're doing in the green Aggradon timeline now
>>97727443Back to your cave, TOWddler.
>>97727933man does this look like shit compared to the red one
>>97727736>The setting is so grounded and believablenope.>>97727749Is that a temple from Epstein isle?
>>97727987Probably why they changed it
would a kind anon send the new Idoneth tomethx
>>97728014Here: https://gofile.io/d/gjWDw1
Idk if this has been discussed here yet but there's been rumours that gw is working on a new AoS skirmish type game, combining elements of both warcry and underworlds, and replacing the two.Warcry seems like it's well on its way out, and underworlds has been a bit quiet as of late (though not out for the count). I think this rumour doesn't come from one of the usual guys so it's not nearly as solid and it wouldn't treat it as such, but just for the sake of argument how would you guys feel about this if it did turn out to be true? could be the mosscairn thing gw copyrighted a while back
>>97728058The rumour is from here
>750pt "tournament" (it's badly run) in just over a week>no idea how to play 4thI played 3rd but that was years ago, and I got CoS dark elves I could field?should I?>why is it 750pts and not spearheadagain, store is retarded
>>97728062no, it's from some guy over on tga claiming to be another guy from another forum a while back who used to have some good rumours back in the day.Recently his track record isn't so good, which he says it's because his sources aren't really as closely involved as they used to be. I don't know if that's true or he's just an impersonator, just found it interesting to think about.>>97728063I have no idea how well the dark elf part of CoS plays nowadays, let alone at 750pts, but I'd give it a go. I think there's a good chance dark elves don't survive til 5th, might be a nice opportunity to send yours out in a blaze of glory
>>97728106>it's from some guy over on tga claiming to be another guy from another forum a while back who used to have some good rumours back in the day.at this point just say it's from your uncle that works at GW
>>97728111I'm just the messenger manRegardless of the rumour, I do think it's obvious at this point that warcry is kill, and underworlds seems to be on its last legs. I think it's fairly plausible that gw will want to replace one of them to have a necromunda or kill team equivalent skirmish game running for AoS.
>>97728106It as mae up here. I guess some guy talked about it somehere else an you're jsut at the end of the human centipee
>>97728063750 seems just right. You get a spearhead and something to add, or the flexibility to merge two Spearheads minus a little.I think Spearhead is soulless for hobby projects and it totally killed my local scene in that respect. No one moves past Spearhead into anything more flexible be it PtG or matched play. Recently I saw that one guy on the lgs discord bought another OBR Spearhead to paint differently, so he has two versions of it to field.
>>97728106issue being is I don't know how to play 4th, I know the basics as I played 3rd (years ago though) but got no clue what they changed for 4th
>>97726934People liked the execution of actual ideas more than the HoH
>>97728136>Recently I saw that one guy on the lgs discord bought another OBR Spearhead to paint differently, so he has two versions of it to field.holy based
>20 darkshards with all out attack and master of ballistics buff gets 60 shots hitting on 2s wounding on 3s, -1 rend vs infantryI mean....should I?
5th edition starter: >CoS + SCE >Deathrattle >Celtic burial mound terrain, statue, tent>Witch hunters, knights on demigryph, druid, gryph hounds, hero on griffin, cross bow SCE, ranger mage SCE hero with pet>Wight King x2?, druid lich, barrow guard looking unit covered in earth and moss, chariots, naked celtic skeletons both spear and short sword, haunted trees
>>97728241no
>>97728230fuck it we ball>>97728241>>CoS + SCEGW doesn't have the balls to include allies in a starter set like that. Would be funny for CoS to get big waves for 3 editions in a row though.More importantly there's not enough deathrattle left to fill a starter box. They already have 2 skelly foot units, what is another barrow guard unit going to provide, what is another baseline skeleton unit going to provide etc. I think 5th edition's stormcast will be a remake of the vanguard stuff as they're the remaining fatcast
>>97728241mosscairn?
Where the hell is my new battlescroll?
>>97728348In the battlelibrary
>>97728348Didn't it drop in april last time around? Or was that the year before?
>>97728348delayed because of tourneyfags
>sorceress>20x darkshards>20x bleakswords>10x more bleakswordsI mean its 730 and it's something, 20pts for an endless spell (soulsnare shackles) or whatever if they still cost points for 750
>>97728591Could be cool but maybe a little fragile no? Someone'a going to take some blood knights or whatever and tear right through your shit
>>97728591Consider splitting the bleakswords into 3 units, gives you more screening flexibility, and they're not going to do any damage anyway, your number one goal with that list is keeping the darkshards out of combat at any cost and just try and table your opponent with them between their normal shooting and unleash hell. The problem is that a single cavalry unit charging the bleakswords can probably power through and tag the darkshards regardless how well positioned you are, and you're done for.
>>97726818Who cares
>>97728058It literally just got a new team and deck, how is that 'quiet'
>No TOW
>console war faggotry
>>97728963Cope TOWddler
come on, at least put effort in to your bait. better shitposters than you used to be the default here.anyways, i should paint my reapers
>>97728645You can't end power through in combat range of a unit your weren't in combat in to start with so.... No, that's not a concern
>>97728934Not surprising, they've got a lot of big game stuff to cover. TOW previews get slotted in when there's not a whole lot else going on, usually.
>>97728934The bigger one is blunderworlds somehow still being there.
So, there is a rune of the wind in the new teaser, but LRL already got their release. Underworlds band maybe?
>>97729113TWO Blood Angels patches? Adam, come on. Also he has a CoS patch on his left sleeve.
>>97729113Also this is for CoS I believe.
Is it finally time for Ogors or is it something else first?
>>97728934kinda surprised by Underworlds being there, but I guess it can easily be slotted alongside the AoS onesRIP Warcry
>>97729119What is the red and orange arrow wheel patch on his stomach?
>>97729113I wonder what they’d even put in a Hurakan warband.
>>97729119Is bottom left the Cult of the Wheel?
>>97729113No more Gitmob. Please, have mercy.
>>97729180It's probably a 11th edition 40k tease since the rumoured edition box will be Blood Angels vs OrksAoS has already had its greenskin stuff released for 4th edition
>>97728934>aos gets cucked at adepticon 2025>tow gets cucked at adepticon 2026Most harmonious>>97729113There's a rumour floating around that the new UW warband is supposed to be elves, so that checks out>>97729180I think that's for 40k orks, the bike guy
Water temple LRL band
>>97729322I wish.
>>97729322Isn't that rune the wind one instead of the water one
>>97729322that's the wind symbol though
>>97729333And didn't we get the water one in Warcry?
>>97727736I miss crackhead aos concept artThey should've refined it and kept the setting wacky instead of worse whfb>>97727749I'll take that over basic bitch planes
>>97729345>I miss crackhead aos concept artno, you don't
>>97729345I miss insane maps.
>>97729531https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kAyRSr8MPQ
>>97729531Man, we used to give those so much shit. Deservedly so, but clearly nothing is so shite we won't have people loving it as long as they first saw it when they were eight or something.
>>97729575Someone needs to conduct a study on why contrarians always come out of the woodwork when something that was pretty universally disliked is discussed.
>>97729531>slave camps of kolgotha>massive megalithic structureThese kolgothans didn't fuck around
>>97729575Some of them are horrible, but others aren't even bad. The annotations are universally done badly though and it makes even the better ones look cheap and shitty. Then you've got the mother of them all.
>>97729531>SkullheapsLiterally?
>>97729611Its important to house your slaves properly.
>>97729344That makes a UW band of reposed/rejected sculpts even more likely
Flying with your minis across states fucking sucks.
>>97729712>airport worker throwing your bag with $2000 worth of warhammer
>>97729113What is the blue one? Looks kinda elvish. Have we seen this symbol before?
>>97729732Based nonreader.
>>97729624The skullface one is still the worst imo. Though they are strangely nostalgic now.>>97729732Wind
Can someone toss me the audiobook for Children of Teclis, please?
Is there a pdf of the battletome for Ossiarch Bonereapers 4th edition available yet?
>>97728934Well, at least they got the specialist games that actually matter in there.
>>97729131Please let the cogfort be cool
I can either pay 34.50 yurodollars for a single fucking goblin shaman or pay 30 for an underworlds set and get another shaman plus like 6 soulful extra minis I can use as alt sculpts.Seriously what the FUCK is up with character prices? How do they justify this shit?
>>97728934Warcry more like I cry ;_; amirite?
Are there any books that show what life is like in the living city or is stuff like that just isolated to hamerhal?
>>97730023Really glad I managed to get my hands on the Tarantulos Brood for a deal a few months ago. Awesome models. Too bad James HATES spiders.
>>97730018It costs just as much to cut a mold for a kit of 5-20 models as it does for a hero model. People will typically only buy the hero once, but they might buy the 5-20 model kits multiple times. It's very basic economics, anon, and it's your and everyone else's fault. If you ever, at any point in your life, expressed a desire for plastic hero models to replace metal ones, this is literally your fault.
>>97730074i dont think any publication focused on the living city. maybe a novel, but i am not quite sure.
>>97730023>>97730089>too bad James HATES spidersTell me about it...Also speaking of warcrcy, is ulgu the only realm besides azyr not to get their own dedicated chaos warband? I thought these spider guys were supposed to be just that, but looking at their lore they're more about the eightpoints, ulgu doesn't factor in it at all.
>>97730099>is ulgu the only realm besides azyr not to get their own dedicated chaos warband?We just pretending Shadowstalkers don't exist?
>>97730099Bro, your birbs>>97730121>Shadowstalkers>Chaos warband
>>97730121>chaos warband>chaos>shadowstalkersSpeedreader-kun...
>>97730135Oh yeah duh. I got so caught up in thinking the apider guys were ulgu that I forgot all about these guys. Although I guess them slipping under my radar is quite thematic. So that just leaves azyr then, for obvious reasons?Similarly, I think slaanesh also never got their own warband, or am I forgetting someone there too? The unmade feel kind of slaaneshy at first glance but they're more the shyish guys
>>97730099only azyr is off limits
>>97730209I think the new rumoured gutter runners sound suspiciously like a warcry warband
>>97730233if they ain't human worshippers of the rat, instead of rats, they don't count
>>97730254That'd be really cool, do we have even have any examples of that in the background? I liked the horns of hashut too
Rare dankhold troggoth fan art
>>97730282Nothing will ever beat the hyperborea edit
>>97730267Fantasy had cultists of the yellow fang or something, collaborating with the skaven so they would be spared in the rat apocalypse and since the rats telefragged aqshy and their god began feasting on people's desperation as a fully fledged chaos god, there have been cultists dedicating themselves to it instead of the other gods
>>97730329in terms of models there were the necromunda ratskins, but they have nothing to do with skaven and gw has become way too politically correct to bring them back for newcromunda
>>97730267>do we have even have any examples of that in the background?Those kids book had a skaven lord with human slave because he couldn't trust any rat to be his servnt and not kill him in his sleep
>>97730340Is there anything particularly non-pc that I'm missing here? Is ratskin a play on redskin?>>97730348Surprisingly dark for those kid books
>>97726808
>>97730363>Is ratskin a play on redskin?yes
>>97730340>>97730393Would actually get me to play necrocum. Space cops are cool, but they’re apparently too common.
>>97730340They look more like beavers
>>97730393Alright yeah that art is a bit clearer than the models. I do like em though they're cool
>>97729628Gotta heap the skulls somewhere
>TQHAMILCAR! I got his audiobook on a whim and loved it, hope he gets a mini.
>>97730682Bizzare he didn't yet, considering he has basically all other media woth books and WH+
>>97730682This guy was one of aos' more popular original characters back in the early days, kind of surprised he never got a token model over literally who's like gardus or gavriel.
>>97730736Gardus has soared in popularity, at least. A Hamilcar model would be fun.
>>97728241If we're making stuff up, I'd love CoS vs SBGL starter but make the SBGL an expansion of the frankensetin/zombie angle.
Sylvaneth would be a good starter faction.
>>97729119Cult of the Wheel! Hell yeah I want some fucked up flagellants.
>>97730736They accidentally let someone write a fun Stormcast, a mistake they will never repeat.
Question for actual opinions on starting a Grand Alliance Order army.While I am still waiting for Malerion to appear, as of now I am stuck between Stormcast Eternals, especially the Ruination Chamber, or the Sylvaneth, focus on Treelords and Noble Spirits.Which of those 2 seem to be the better faction choice?
>>97731400I'd say SCE because I assume Malerion's boys, if they ever come, are going to be a tricksy army. And Sylvaneth are already a really tricksy army themselves. Not to mention hard to play. Reclusians and Prosecutors fuck hard and look great, so that's a win there.
>Mega-Gargant. a lot like a giant, only bigger and more easily protected under IP law.
>>97731272I miss Reynolds
>>97731552>more easily protected under IP law.What is? They’re pretty generic as far as they go.
>>97731419Thanks for the info. Yeah and annihilators are good from what I have heard as well.Though still hoping Malerion and his army do appear some day, maybe taking inspiration from the black guard.
>>97731645>Though still hoping Malerion and his army do appear some day, maybe taking inspiration from the black guard.Same. I don't know what I'd expect for them aesthetically, though. I held off on starting LRL because I wanted them or Malerion but finally started giving in after Horns of Hashut came out and then the increased mentions of Chuardin in lore increasingly signaled he wasn't coming any time soon.
>>97731652I'm not expecting that this edition, my hope though is that if I do go SCE, that the chamber i go with doesn't disappear next edition, a move that, while I understand, felt wrong for GW to do.
>>97726808I like this model quality wise but fuck if I don't miss the pincer-wings of the old WHF version (Though not the weird elephant-seal looking face. TWWH definitely made improvements there)
>>97731674That's an understandable fear. Anything not in Thunderstrike is on the chopping block. Ruination is very doubtful because it's so new and very well received. I'd say Vanguard chamber is next to get Thunderstruck. I almost started SCE back in 3e. Built and primed a whole Dominion half, then gave it to a friend because I couldn't decide on a color scheme.
>>97731612Nomenclature? Gargant is distinct from Giant, taking root in gargantuan rather than gigas, but it's not about IP as much as forcing consumers to search for specific terms instead of something vaguer that might inform them about other miniatures or games or whatever. Orruk is pretty much asking the Tolkien estate to sue your ass and Aelf is the original term for such creatures and exempt from lawsuits entirely. GW just want people googling adeptus custodes rather than space marine because otherwise you'll find out that Halo miniatures are cheaper and the game is probably better.
>>97726866>>97726856another ezmode kitbash. most votann are too futurist to mix with KO but this dude was basically perfect to make into a decorative sky captain.

>>97728591If you have the Cold One Knights, run them. At that low of a point bracket they're going to fuck shit up. And if you can reinforce it, you're going to do it even harder.
>>97731922"Giant Age of Sigmar""Space Marine Warhammer"Nothing crazy about them.Having memorable names is way better for brand recognizance. Skaven, Stormcasters, Orks, even Space Marines (1st results are either Warhammer or starcraft)(unless you are a huge halo fan)
>>97728934
>>97728934This is going to be mostly 40gay and horus homonigger reveals anyway.
>>97731400If you like the look etc of both stormies and sylvaneth equally I'd go for stormcast purely because they'll be much cheaper, especially if you look at the secondary market. I've managed to snag 2000pts of stormcast (on sprue!) for like ~€120 just by looking on ebay etc. >>97731674I think we've been getting some hints from rumourmongers that malerion and his lads aren't too far off now, I would expect them Next Edition™. I know people have been saying that since 2015 but y'know I think this time it's actually true. No idea what they'll look like though. I hope it's something heavily armoured, kinda miss that in the other elf factions outside of the one cow helmet unit for lrl. I'm also not a big fan of the shadowstalker aesthetic, so I hope it moves away from that a bit.
>>97733046Cogfot will dab on it

>>97727522AoS is OBR and Hashut. I kinda want to collect Skaven, but I think that's just my lust for the Plague Bell. WF is Dwarves and Cathay. 40K is a low amount of Crons since 4th which means its a very unbalanced list since my enjoyment of them is very lopsided, T'au and some Votann because I wanted to feel what's it like to start a new range same with Hashut kinda, but berserkers and cthonian stuff has been disappointing. Hoping for more stuff that feels like the Warriors, vehicles and the Hearthguard and less slayers and norse stuff since it's feeling kinda stale and I think the Grimnir looks shit.
You don't hate the aos/tow split enough
>>97733122>believing a post coping about his leaks being confirmed fake
Speaking of leaks, here's some more on underworlds. There's good news and bad news. Good news is that there's like 10 more warbands coming (and one might be halflings for CoS?):
>>97733141Now the bad news, it does seem like it might be on the way out and/or replaced by a new skirmish game, as per whitefang back me up.At the end of the day these are just rumours so take em with a grain of salt etc

>>97733154A little mini elemental for each temple sounds fun>>97733183I thought we haven't seen any zenith stuff at all
>>97733214The light mage was Zenith, just generic
>>97733237Oh light mages are zenith? I thought they were their own thing and not really temple related
>>97733237Myari is Scinari, not a temple mage.
>>97733262You are correct. The Scinari are the generic light mages of the Lumineth, basically everyone uses light magic by default unless they're aligned with one of the elemental tables. The Zenith guys are more like ultimate grand masters who have ascended to the very top of the progression ladder, they're supposed to be extremely rare and powerful.
>>97733317So what element even is zenith? Hurakan is wind, alarith is stone/mountains, ydrilans are rivers, is zenith fire or light itself or what's going on there? It's not entirely clear (heh) to me.
>>97730682Very surprised they never did anything with this guy.He was a genuinely entertaining character
>>97733356They gave him hammer and bolter episode and then nothing
>>97733349>is zenith fire or light itself yesproblem is tyrion will already represent fire by virtue of being symbolised by the phoenixso there are good chances that we will never actually see the zenith temple and that it will be left as this distant ethereal thing
i am embarking on building an idoneth deepkin army, would like to see any cool example schemes youve come across if u have em
>>97733398Official red armor one is actually my favourite.
>>97733398Not mine but I liked this guy's army, nailed the underwater effect. jeanfluflu on reddit if you want to see some more.I got a start collecting box I was gifted last year that I still gotta start, can't decide between a red/gold scheme and and "underwater blue" one.
>>97733398I don't know if that anon still posts here but he had really fucking nice blue-purple IDK. It's one of my favorite armies posted here actually but I don't have it saved for some ungodly reason
>>97733429And here's an example of red/gold idoneth
>>97733398here's some random stuff>dark and blue tones to make them look underwater
>>97733446>water reflections to make them look underwater
>>97733452>don't forget countershading for fish ventral and dorsal parts, plus patterns
>>97733463>fish can have iridescent scales
>>97733468>mother pearl materials are a viable gimmick
>>97733141>>97733144I presume the new Warcry will replace it? It'll be smaller in scale like UW, with Warhammer Quest scenario map books but lots of bespoke terrain sprues
>>97733446>>97733452Damn these are great
>>97733398Soul-Vampiremax with blood water
>>97732837Sure, but it's not "Giant" and it's not Goblin, Dwarf, etcYour argument is irrelevant because GW already have a policy they've used for 10+ years
>>97733474>nothing stops you from using deep sea fish as inspiration and do mostly black schemes with some bioluminescence
>>97733486>shit gets rough and dirty underwater
>>97733486Kino
>>97733486Retarded but sovl
Idoneth deepkin really feel like they were dreamed up as a cook painters project first and an actual army second
>>97733569I've heard it said they were basically alan merret's pet project. Dunno how true that is though.
>>97733573Idk who's project they were, but the story is that literally 1 guy in GW realy wanted Atlantis elves, but couldn't make them work until 1e AoS
>>97733578>Atlantis elves>ended up with Aquaman elves
I finished the Abraxia book, it was good, way more flowery than I thought though, I definitely didn’t expect that from a Warhammer book, and definitely not from a Chaos book.Next up on my Chaos book reading list is the Dark oath book, which I’ve just learned is by the same author.
>>97733605Aquaman came out a year or two later. So actually he's Idonethman
>>97733605>>97733634>Dc stole the shaeark from games workshopI saw that movie in theaters, was pretty shit, but they did have cool hybrid crab people. Always thought that could be a neat 'monstrous infantry' unit for idoneth a la kroxigor or annihilators or something.
>>97733145>well i talked about this stuff that never happened because it was on the secret pre-releas stage and got scraped and you will never see it but it was real when i said about it
>>97733145He's clearly not as close to gw's processes as he once was, he fucks up all the time. I do think it's the same guy but his connections are not what they once were.
Any hope for cool AoS reveals during adepticon or will it be just boring CoS?
>>97733697CoS, eshin, lumineth warband
>>97733634Pretty sure character along with whacky designs were introduced a bit earlier than movie with Khal Drogo and bedshitter.
>>97733697We've got a lot coming for cities of sigmar but also that's meant to be coming alongside a sort of relaunch of spearhead starting with a cites VS eshin box, so you can look forward to rats maybe also a lumineth band for underworlds apparently
>>97733671do you also burn at the stake the local weatherman whenever you feel betrayed by forecasts you misread?
>>97732721pretty sure I have 10 cold one knightsbut then what else should I take?
>>97733717If your weatherman fucks up every day it's time to stop listening to him yea
>>97733717If my weatgerman makes mistakes, i'd always bring an umbrella just in case
>>97733786>fucks up every day>>97733824>makes mistakesnot the case herehe says underworlds is going outboole says there's still 10+ releaseswhitefang confirms underworlds is going out after what they're releasing and designing right now is donethese statements are not in contradiction
Asking the daily question, are the PDFs for the 4th edition battletomes for Lumineth Realm-lords, Disciples of Tzeentch and/or the Ossiarch Bonereapers avaliable yet?
>>97734068You want the short version or the long?
>>97734027>whitefangKnock off Whitefang, who isn't nearly as reliable. He also thought Fyreslayers were being squatted.
>>97734076I am guessing not yet then, lol
i would be sad if underworlds died, i like the sculpts and the game itself, it's given us some of the most fun sculpts in AoS
>>97734166Agreed. At least it goes out wirh mass reprints of greatest hits, so if you want stuff you can get it
Playing my first spearhead game with my chorfs tonight. Not sure what I'm up against but my opponent is a chill dude and I'm stoked to have him teach me the format (again, since I've played 1 game with my kahradrons around 8 months ago)Will update either later tomorrow tomorrow with results
>>97734082>who isn't nearly as reliablehe is reliable >thought Fyreslayers were being squattedhe said they weren't getting a tomeyou thought they were being squatted once again, you're getting mad at the weatherman because you read the predictions wrong
>>97734299Very cool anon, have a good one
Anybody upload the OBR battletome yet? I really wanna get my lore fix for my boney boys.
>>97734166It is sad but I'm kind of pissed that Games Workshop has become a "centerpiece model/single model/warband" company instead of an "army" company, I'm so tired of all these dynamic poses and individualism, I like cool blocks of units....but yeah I know nobody likes to paint them and they don't look good on Instagram or in promos.
We're back
>>97734333Whitefang back me up did say "it's as simple as beastmen going away", but to be fair that was more speculation on his part and not part of the 'hard rumour' of fyreslayers not getting a tome.Regardless, hastings is too wrong too often to really trust without corroboration from other rumourmongers. Which kind of defeats the point of having a rumourmonger.
>>97734519i like unique poses because looking at 40 dudes all in the same 5 poses isnt visually engaging for me to look at or paint
>>97734333>he said they weren't getting a tomeHe said a lot more than that, before backtracking. And even then saying they aren't getting a tome is factually incorrect. I never believed him, personally.
>>97734519>...but yeah I know nobody likes to paint them and they don't look good on Instagram or in promos.Nobody wants to play them either which is another reason why they've moved away from them
>>97734655Wfbmu is decently reliable, but only to a certain point. He likes to add speculation to his actual rumours, you just gotta be able to sort through his posts a little.
>>97734607same. painting clone troopers is insanely boring
Sometimes when I'm drunk, I get naked, line up all my Maggotkin models that look like my boss (so all the fat, smelly dudes) and spend hours screaming homophobic abuse at them.It really helps and I believe doing this has actually improved my mental health.
Remember the Mosscairn trademark?
>>97734884Average Chaos behaviour
>>97734884So I have questions...
>>97734884Such is the power of grandfather
>>97734884
>>97734166UW is dying because Spearhead will take on it's Warbands. Every now and again we'll get a new Spearhead with a new warband alongside other units.
>>97733717Society would improve if we did this.
>>97734951stay in your containment thread, faggot
>>97734884Whatever keeps the noose at bay, godspeed freako
>>97733605Aquaman is literally from Atlantis>>97734299Good luck to your green and purple chorfs
>>97734957That's what's happening to warcry. There's only two spearheads with uw bands so far
>>97735117>so far
>>97734884>I get nakedI don't get the purpose of this part
>Sometimes when I'm drunk, I get naked, line up all my Maggotkin models that look like my boss (so all the fat, smelly dudes) and spend hours screaming homophobic abuse at them.It really helps and I believe doing this has actually improved my mental health.
>>97735154It improves his mental health, like he said.
They were right about Maggotkin
>>97735008Nta, but wut?>>97735272They're right about everything and everyone
>>97735272and the maggotkin were right about them, your point?it's another middle east situation, both sides are terrible and should be nuked, it's why ghyran is the worst realm
>>97735117Kill Team is popular so Warcry will survive but no one buys UW products for UW, GW know this because the current edition has sales data for the mandatory card packs
>>97735303>warcry will surviveAnon it's already dead
>>97735303>Warcry will survive
>>97734884This mental image made me chuckle. Have a (You)
>>97735503it does have a Warhammer World event in the summer at least but outside of that, it's probably dead
>>97733141>>97733144*if* UW is indeed going away and these ~10 or so warbands will be the last we're like to get, what would you guys like to see? (Not counting the upcoming lumineth one)>second KO warband>feral seraphon>cos halflings>khorne daemons>spiderfang>gargant "warband" that's just two disembodied pairs of feets and hands like the warclans manifestation (picrel) representing a single gargant.>cos gargoylian horde>something something beastmen they're good boys :(>chorf daemonbinders> ROOT KINGS
>>97735819>spoiler Please. If they’re legends just do something weird with them already.
>>97735819>something for beastmenI have just the thing>>97735842I do think it's funny how much (relative) hype these guys have gotten despite being literally like 1 throwaway line in a blurb somewhere
>>97735994You get a lot across with "wood dwarfs" without needing to explain much
>>97736049they were already explained in tomes and novels, they're just dispossessed who live alongside treemen
>>97736078And people find it cool and want to see it executed
>>97736093no, you don't, you're imagining something else entirely and basing your "hype" for them on nothing but delusions
Hey guys do you happen to know of any kanabo-like weapons in aos? Something like picrel but obviously without any of the scifi techy bullshit. I could've sworn there where a few kits like that but can't seem to recall which. Would like to see if it'd work for a conversion I have in mind.
>>97736102lizardmen clubs but you smooth the spikes?otherwise just go grab some third party shit instead, anon
>>97736102Check out some Warcry kits. They might not have it 1-1 but there is probably some good bits to use as a code for sculpting.
>>97736102STD Chaos Warriors have one. So do the Symbaresh twinsouls.
>>97736099Is a man not entitled to his delusions? "Wood dwarf" is a really underexplored concept because any setting with dwarves generally also has elves and elves get first dibs on all woodsy naturey shit, often to the point that dwarves are explicitly un-woodsy and naturey. AoS if nothing else is good at taking things in novel directions, and I for one would like to seethe attempt.
>>97727522What armies do you have anon?I assume it's a long time collection, do you have any intention to go back and repaint old models or do you keep them as a reminder of your progress?
>>97736225>Is a man not entitled to his delusions?no
>>97736225Druids or nature shit in general is kinda never really a highlight for some reason. I guess hippies just ruined that image of nature loving freaks.
>>97736099Trees and dwarfs are a very natural (heh) fit because as Soulboun highlighted they have basically the same stuborn personality type steaming from metaphorical roots.It's easy to see why people want more of this combo
>>97736123>>97736214>>97736215Thanks guys, appreciate it.
>>97736235
>>97736102Warcry Iron Golems have one or two
>>97735503>>97735522Warcry was dead but they hired a new lead designer. The last project lead quit after spending so long developing Spearhead. Warcry has a new edition waiting, it just isn't coming until autumn.
>>97736225>Is a man not entitled to his delusions?Based believer>>97736413>they hired a new lead designerFirst time I'm hearing about that. Where does that info come from?
>>97732636Textless
Chorf army is coming along.Pay no attention to the bases, tomorrow I'll put on some texture paint that will leave green cracks.
>>97735117we know warcry is continuing because helmsmiths is confirmed to be getting a KT(even if it doesnt i got a copy of scales of talaxis so im happy, just need the big slann head)
>>97735303>no one buys UWI buy and know others that do it as well, and I play the new warbands in 1.0 using the old rival decks (that most were out of stock less than 1 year after release). I don't buy the new rival decks for 2.0. (when I bother to play 2.0 I just use the decks from the big boxes).Cool art >>> model shoot>>97736448>First time I'm hearing about that. Where does that info come from?Not him, but the old designer left and last year a new designer was contracted but he is not necessarily working on Warcry (also you wouldn't green light a new hire to take over a project without supervision)
>>97736583DESU I like the Doom nukage bases. It's slime time!
They should add Root Kings but they dress like garden gnomes
>>97734884>improved my mental health>spends time nakedly screaming homophobic abuse at plastic toysleast insane nurgle enjoyer>>97735819I would want a KO warband that's actually different sculpts and not just existing units in barely different poses.
>>97736093>>97736225> people find it cool and want to see it executedaside from (you) no one is clamoring for hippie woodland dwarves. The reason KO works despite being flying dwarves that don't live in deep mines, they're still industrial creating machines and massive structures. Wood dwarves wouldn't fit most dwarf tropes, just play sylvaneth, or fyre slayers painted green
>>97738138>you can't do something new Why?
This shitty art has grown on me. Does anyone have it in good quality?
>>97738138Well, good thing the only opinion I'm really worried about is (Me).
>>97738138You're retared Anon
>>97733141>and one might be halflings for CoS?I know some people have expressed frustration about Cities becoming "fantasy imperial guard" but I would actually really like a halfling warband of some kind, plus some more halfling rep in Cities. I've always liked the old human-ogre-halfling dynamic that Empire used to have in WHFB.Speaking of ogors, would be nice to get a monstrous infantry unit of them for Cities some day. Something in the style of the War Hulk, but without the tower on the back. Maybe with the option to take mauls & tower shields or greatmauls.
>>97738354>used to have in WHFBYou know they still have it, right?
>>97735303>>97735503>>97735813>>97736413I think Warcry is probably going to have something happen to it in the same way Kill Team did back in like, 2020-2021. A massive overhaul of the whole system from the ground up, basically.
>>97738356Are there any halfling units in tow?
>>97738362Hopefully not too much. I love Warcry's system
>>97738356Halflings aren't back in TOW yet.
>>97738369No. There was barely ever any official halfling models period, which is one of the reasons that getting Halflings in AoS would be interesting.
>>97738380There was some dogs of war stuff wasn't there? But yeah I'd like to see CoS halflings. If they get ogres and gargants, it makes sense for them to get some smaller humanoids too.I'd also like to see them bring back dwarfs and elfs into the fold in some capacity, some dwarf ironweld engineers, some elf scouts or outriders, stuff like that. The whole alliance nature of cos was cool, I understand that the range was mostly just a mismash of units from whfb they were keeping around so those players had a reason to try aos, but still I thought it was an interesting angle in the end.
>>97738369just jumping into this convo, there are companies that makes tons of halfling models, entire armies of them with different themes, that you could use for proxieshttps://www.manticgames.com/kings-of-war/halflings/https://maxminishop.com/collections/fantasy-halflings-1https://wargamesatlantic.com/products/halfling-militia
>>97738421Damn those maxminishop ones look like shit lmao. If you thought fyreslayers looked like babies, get ready. Who buys these?Other two are alright, but proportions don't really work for gw, especially the ones from wargamesatlantic. Though I like those the best.
>>97738432in fairness, GWs halflings do also kinda just look like fat babies mixed with average UK football fan
>>97738354The people expressing frustration can get fucked There isn't a single 'normal civilized human' army. They bitch and whine they can't have some dwarf/elf/human mix while dwarfs have two armies and elves fucking FOUR. Plus, the whining about the lose of 'dwarfs/elves/humans cooperating together' has never been realized in the rules, even in the original release, so whining that it doesn't happen or that it would be lost is also retarded. Normal, non chaos worshipping humans deserve an army of their own.
>>97738547Must we have this argument every time? Just give them each a token unit. Ironweld engineer and idk Wildercorps Swifthooves™ or some shit. Problem solved.
>>97738579nono dwarfs or elves dressed as potatosacsally fyreslayers, dispossessed, kharadrons, ulgurothi, lumineth or sylvaneth
>>97734884KEEEEEEK
>>97738587Nah cooperation is hella based. The idea that Aelves, humans, duradin, ogors, seraphon, sylvaneth etc live together is proof that Sigmar's Pantheon worked and itself is kind of indicative of how you beat chaos.
>>97738587Too bad I will keep bitching for aeaelfs and dwarfs in CoS
>>97738653Think of the shareholders anon. It's why CoS had to become Empire for cretins.You know, for the Dawnbringer crusades. Couldn't actually use anything from the actual crusades though, no turcopoles, no ships with flamethrowers, no random pilgrims. Boring.
>>97738684>no ships with flamethrowersTo be fair you're getting walking castles with flamethrowers
>>97737725kino
>>97736861>I buy UW>I don't buy the new rival decksbased retard, wonder why they're killing it
>>97738653>Nah cooperation is hella basedsure, through allied modelsnot those other races shoved as potatosas wearing regular units in cos
>>97737725>they should add gnomes but call them dwarfs gnome fuck yourself
>>97736811Chorfs got rules to use their normal models, they're not getting their own warband. They already had one and it got squatted before the chorfs proper even arrived.>>97736861I assume the new designer is going to be working on the warcry replacement. Either that or -like the other anon said- they're going to do a kill tean and just soft reset the game.
>>97738767>sure, through allied models>not those other races shoved as potatosas wearing regular units in cosYou lost this argument before it even started
>>97738765If you have both base boxes (embergard & spitewood) you have 6 decks. If he want to play competitive he can use those. And if I m not mistaken 3 of those are broken and the people engaged in the game bitch about some cards asking for bans.Also old edition had way more decks and those sold really well (If i m not mistaken they had 9 or 10 in old edition while in 2.0 there are 4 or 5 so far)(also on Ebay old decks still sell really well). So the "GWS is using decks sales to see how well the game sells" is a retarded take, at best they can use the sales of new decks to see how well 2.0 is being received (and if rumors about they going to 3.0 is true then they def saw they fucked up).
>>97738806cool! is that an elf or dwarf or lizardman or another order race? I don't recognise it
>>97738899It's a destruction race which makes it more exotic
>>97738899it's an ogre. dumbest fucking model in the CoS range to boot. It's a shame they blew this idea on an ogre which is effectively just a slightly bigger human when they could have done this with a gargant and it would have looked cool.
>>97738915>when they could have done this with a gargantanon...
>>97738806Love that model
>>97738899>>>97738915>when they could have done this with a gargantdoes he know?
>>97738832GW sold miniatures and decks separately this edition. I'm guessing the game is getting scrapped because only the miniatures represented sales.
>>97738767AoS launched with no fluff save Stormcasts exist, Chaos won, and disparate peoples of various races from WHF were unified as refugees in Azyr. AoS' first narrative developments and the beginning of world building was that these refugees have begun to colonise the post apocalyptic world as cosmopolitan cities. AoS is now WHF-lite, the Astra Militarum is composed of humans with a few human offshoots like Ogors.
>>97738372They're in the RPG for TOW, which isn't the case for Soulbound
>>97738587Duardin won't even be in CoS soon. Aelves probably won't last the edition either given DoK just got executioners
Chaos Sissies need Cities to not be multiracial cause that is the only way to stop the Pantheon from reforming and wafflestomping chaos out.!
VGHhttps://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/q2c2tgvd/warhammer-art-through-the-years-stormcast-eternals/
>>97739008Weird to title this through the years and then have the pictures in a random order
>EvensI post pipe>OddsI paint Blades of Khorne>DubsI paint Maggotkin
>>97739059POST THE FUCKING PIPE ALREADY
>>97739059Paint your corn
>>97739008so are these articles just a picture dump? No designer's commentary on what inspired them or how they evolved or anything? That's kind of lame. I get that most aos armies aren't really big or old enough to have gone through any significant changes but stormcast are like one of three or so armies where that actually is the case.
>>97739065But that would require someone who actually works on the design to be involved and the WarCom articles are made by a random intern
>>97739088surely the intern can go down the hall and ask the designer's some questions over lunch at greggs?
>>97739008I almost miss fat casts
>>97739104They didn't even do that for space marines article so your expectations are way too high.
What's going on? I don't know. Does it look silly? Yes. Does it spark joy? Also yes.
>>97739119That's a post redesign art retard
>>97739126I never really understood what these vertical crossbow handgun things were. Why is the bow part even there?
>>97739132yeah but it has the chonky proportions of the old design
>>97739136So you know it shoots arrows and not bullets.
>>97739126>What's going on? stormcast rangers scouting chamonthey'll soon find traces of ghal maraz and lead to the campaign for its recapture
Anyone remember when TOW was announced and they showed concept art of Orcs getting sucked into a tornado or something that was supposed to be the End Times?
How do we save darkoath?>>97739207Not really no
>>97739207one of the last artworks in the end times books, yes, it's a mess
>>97739227
>>97739210>How do we save darkoath?Bring back the warcry and underworlds bands for them, as well as the chaos warshrineallow them to also pick the god-aligned marauder-type unitsall as long as there's a core of normal darkoathmake their rules about how the presence of various different tribes fosters their competition under the gaze of the gods, allowing more and more of them to rack up bonus for actions or ascend to demonhood or turn into spawnsgive many of their units a degree of ranged attacks from throwing weapons, bows, or small spells, and plenty of shenanigans about coming out of nowhere from scenery pieces and sides of the board
>>97734299Played that game last night. Opponent brought his skaven. Ended up being a really fun game, even though I'm still learning spearhead as a system.I made some blunders (forgetting that sticky objectives are always a thing and misplaying some of the commands) but that's okay.The demonic power points system is really fun for the spearhead. I remember in the army rule proper you get a number based on certain units like Tsons' cabal points, but the number being based on rounds this time is really simple and I like it for this game mode.Gonna post some fun moments and stuff I remember.
>>97739267Chorfs got the first turn and I had to move up to escape my opponent's "rat jail" stratagy. He sent his rats forward to counter and they got mostly cleaned up by the dominator engine and the 5man chorf unit they went into, taking out like 1 chorf in the process. Funny enough the dominator engine did more to them in melee than in shooting despite being the gun variant (I built maces but it's the gun model in play)
>>97739267Glad you gad fun anon. Your bullbot looks very nice from above
>>97739276I tried desperately to take this objective from him during the fighting but he kept me off of it rather well. I was going to take it during my turn 1 but we had the twist to get extra points by stealing opponents' objectivess and I didn't want to give him free points.
>>97739281He sent his calvalrat into my dominator engine after the original rat wave and it completely failed to kill it, whiffing all of its hits in a bad roll. It proceeded to get mopped by the dominator due to it being fully powered by my DPP.
>>97739293Last one I'm gonna post, don't want to spam. When his ogres and reinforcements came in, he tried to send each one after the middle objective for some really good tactic points, but every charge failed despite being an average roll of around 6-7 to succeed. It was a tough time for the rats this turn.Despite this the rats eeked out the victory ending the game 16-14 in rat favor. It was super fun but I just got caught up in combats I couldn't leave and the rats had the numbers game in their advantage I couldn't catch up to.
>>97739279Thanks man! It's actually one of my least favorite models so far. I want to go back and touch up the flames, since I think I can do a much better job on them now. To me they're just not dark enough at the tips and I want them to be more yellow-green at the base like picrel instead of white
>>97739293Did the ratlord's weapon break off? Seems like it was a fun game man
>order some stuff from secondhand>supposed to deliver today, hasn't gotten here yet, strange>get email>the fucking van burned down
>>97739432I hope you ordered Fyreslayers. They're fireproof
>>97739457you read the contract wrong, it's fyreproofthey're not immune to conventional fire
>>97739457>idoneth
>>97739538I guess you're left with some... Fish and Chips!
>>97739142>it shoots arrows and not bullets.Well akshually...
>>97738783it was in their announcement article
>>97739364Yeah unfortunately it did, he spent around 5nminutes beforehand trying to repair it but it was such a small break point the glue wouldn't set. He said he was gonna pin it after the game.
>>97739629...yeah, that they were getting rules to use their models in warcry (which they did), not that they were getting a whole new warband
>>97739636Sucks when that happens, at least he didn't lose the bit. That's when shit gets real annoying.
>>97739136Warhammer used to not model bowstrings, with some art showing judicators having magic strings that materialise when needed as a cope. Now that they model strings it raises questions, most of all because they didn't model the string release/tension point either
I thought the reveal show was this week and not the next
>>97734166It's a shame underworlds existed and cool sculpts weren't just normal parts of the main model line.
>>97740053Without underworlds those sculpts wouldn't have existed. That design space would've just gone to more stormcast knight somethingor and commemorative vampire lords anyway
>>97739890>Warhammer used to not model bowstringsIt's still not a consistent thing, some models have bowstrings, others don't.
>>97740120Obr did, I’m not sure what released with bows after lumineth range
>>97739119>stormcast if they weren't a rush job 10 years done right on the edge of the big jump in molding qualityfatcast were just a mistake and were still living with the legacy of basing the redesigns off of them.
>>97740298nustodes look worse than stormcasts
>>97740168What models after Lumineth lack strings?
>>97740323
>>97740353
>>97740298These are genuinely fucking worse dude what the hell. Fatcasts look better. Maybe it’d be a competition with the original custodes but these are just…well I can understand some controversy for them.
>>97740366
>>97740298Someone pointed out how unadorned their legs are and kinda look like Stormcast legs and I can't unsee it
>>97740298I think purely in terms of design nucast dunk on nustodes, and fatcast dunked on oldstodes. That being said I do have a certain fondness for fatcast and some of them remain among my favourite stormie models. Never really liked custodes in general, the new ones are absolutely an improvement but those swords are so fucking ugly they bring the whole thing down so much. I get that they need to be guns too for some fucking reason but wew those proportions suck.
>>97740353>>97740366>>97740411Still, all the thunderstrike vanguard have strings. I doubt the full kits won't
It's happening lads, WoC battalion and BOTH Cathay battalions completely removed from the webstore after being listed as " Sold Out Online " from last week.Looks like something is coming relating to WoC/StD and Cathay for those of you interested in proxies.
>>97740803Wrong thread, TOWddler. Off ye fack.
Is there a PDF of 4th edition OBR available yet?
>>97740803Woc was expected, but both cathay battalions is kind of weird. I don't know how these work but the first one was supposed to be permanent right? Basically the cathay intro box? Couls be that they're mixing up the composition but could also be a simple reboxing.Since tow got no reveals for adepticon I guess we'll be seeing some warrior reveals on a random monday?
This year has continued to be fuckin' awful, BUT HEY finished Bel'akor
>>97740900Yeah the first box was supposed to be evergreen. So I assume they are reboxing it to be mostly core. Maybe peasant, jade warriors and cannons? And yeah no TOW at Adepticon so we can expect the warriors to be revealed within 2-3 weeks now that they removed the battalion from the webstore. I assume the new models will be put in an evergreen battalion box like the first Cathay box to replace the old one.
What should I build my verminlord as, I like lord skreech for lore shit. But the deceiver also looks amazingWarpseer would fit my the rest of my skryre army though, but it's mostly just a painting project
>>97740900According to a retailer, GW thought the original Cathay Battalion box was too good a dea,l so they had to change it
>>97740978Lmao that sounds enough like GW that I believe it. The battalion boxes usually follow a 3 kit formula where you get 3 kits for the cost of slightly more than 2 kits. The current Cathay evergreen battalion was slightly better, offering 3.5 kits for the same price as slightly over 2. Because the Jade warriors normally sell in boxes of 20, but you get 30 of them in the battalion.
>>97740956I thought verminlords were very specific keyword bingo type units, so if your army is mostly skryre I'd build the skryre option, as then at least you'll be able to bring it when you feel like it and it won't feel like dead weight.Alternatively I doubt anyone would be able to tell the different versions apart, and even then they're not likely to take issue with a proxy (I certainly wouldn't) so probably just build whatever you think is coolest lmao.>>97740978I just did the math and assuming it's also €150 like the other battalions that's a pretty great discount yeah, works out to like €242 if everything gets bought separately so like a 38% discount. Which is not too crazy in and of itself, quite a few spearheads also reach that amount of value, but it being all new plastic at that amount of discount is relatively rare.I'd imagine a new reshuffled discount box would be worse value, it almost always is with gw. Compare the old vs new ogre spearhead for example.
>>97740956I'm a big fan of the Mouldr one.
>>97738447That's just what halflings look like
