Even though I don't play COS, I enjoyed the entire reveal, as well as the spearhead for Clans Eshin, a great reveal all around.
>Top 10 unconventional date ideas to try in the Great Parch.
>>97778945AoS died before they released him
What are things that AoS does better than TOW? I've played the latter and have found it to be a bit too clunky for my taste, like a lot of the dice rolls in the game lead nowhere.
just these I think
>>97778994I like how they sculpted the faces to look deformed and retarded.
>TQFor AoS, the personal favourite was probably the Eshin Skaven and the least favourite was probably the special charecter for CoS, he just doesn't do anything for me.
>>9777902110 in engerland
>>97778994They are gatekeeping CoS. I'm happy to stay away from it..
Why is the armour on the new foot knights so janky-wanky? Actual armour is form-fitting but this shit looks like it creaks and screeches as the person inside movesGw can obviously design more suitable looking armour because just look at any armoured model in the death range. Even stormcast have more sensible looking armour
>TQGallants are perfect, especially compatibility with Cavalier bits. The Lumineth Warband seems boring, just recycled assets and hoods. The critter is nice.
>>97778994Now that we have a female Mancrusher it raises a very important question: If she were to grow into a Mega Gargant, do tits also grow in proportion to the body?
>>97779042Maybe they have mass produced munition-grade armour that isn't as form-fitting as the custom-made beautiful harnesses we see in museums?
>>97779004They'll recycle him for gloomspite gitz as an end of edition release for themTrust the plan
>>97779011Diversity and representation for sure.
>>97779042https://youtu.be/as2XMN6hVF4?si=SofKrIaXbkzysJrrEducate yourself, retard
>>97778994I want to live in Giantess tits.
>the new Deathmaster rumour is actually just the old Deathmster thrown into the box set
>>97779063>Still looks better than a steelhelm
>>97779086Ignoring the named Death master? Glad the Skyre stuff isn't as bad as one would imagine from the rumours
>>97779094>Ignoring the named Death master?No, name character and yet another Deathmaster resculpt were separate. Turns out there was no resculp and the retar just didn't know exisiting models
>>97779079>said he and posted video completely unrelated to AoS models
>>97779079I learnt everything I need to know from non-woke experts like shadiversity
>>97779109>armour was always 16th century Italian designs
>>97779093Man "new" bretonnia looks so ass. I'm the opposite of a grog but the old metal stuff mogs this shit so hard.
>>97779094What where the rumors? Did I miss clan skryre drops? I thought it was only Eshin.
>>97779142The gutter runners were described as having some tech stuff on them like the guy with his gas tank backpack, so I'm assuming anon is happy they didn't go too overboard with that as some feared.Apparently pestilens is coming in the future but for now eshin were all the concrete rumours.
>>97779042because gw models have huge heads, relative to the proportions of the body, so if they had made the armors fit better then the final model would look like some chibi funko pop shit.one solution to that is making the model oversized compared to other units so the head can be consistent with other models while the body is brought to more natural proportions, while the second solution is making the body armor fat, as you've seen
cogfort 8/10 should be thicker. more like a cog tower than a cog fort, looks a little too comicalerasmus zonn 4/10 baby chimera is boringfiremage 10/10knellmage 6/10 weird but not in a good waygate gargants 9/10 should be more armored otherwise fantasticdawners triumph 7/10jorvan kreel 2/10 forgepriest 9/10 should be wearing glovesgallants 5/10 if they were individual heroes they would be 9/10 but as a unit they look really bad, poses are way too similargrenadiers 3/10 supposed to be an elite shooting unit but theyre all so fat and use 2h axes
I can't praise this model enough, what an absolute chad ratto.
>>97779208wonder what the logic was for Cos to get these weirdly shaped Volley guns
>>97779131>moving makes them not people of ulgu anymoreThis is might be my last reply because you clearly have some weird essentialist thing going on that’s underneath all this because why in the world would you say this about a setting in which the realm you lived in and born in colors your soul? Literally I don’t mean that as some high concept artsy fartsy shit I mean if you were to take a man and peel away all that he was until you got to the core of his soul you would be able to gleam the realm he was born in. So putting that aside for a second I’m not surprised you’re so bothered by this when you think culture, ideology, and customs are irrelevant in determining you being from Ulgu or not so why even bother in this conversation. The only thing to you that determines anything is skin color despite GW never stating that anywhere and plenty of books during the Realmgate wars with non black reclaimed and all the way up to the last dawnbringers book I forgot to read
Anybody got a pdf of the dok tome?
>>97778970Is it just me or did this end up not looking like the blurry leak at all? Which is extra weird since that guy got all the descriptions spot on and I think his other images were accurate.
>>97779233Small guy in a big realm (4u)
Is Stone Warden the name of the fort, or is this guy the stone warden?
>>97779251It's the fort. You can see the other one here named Pale Drake. I think we're getting a new transfer sheet with a few words on it that can be made into cogfort names.
>>97779244Here's one of the blurry gate gargant oics for example, spot on as far as I can tell.>>97779251Would be cute if he has his own little nameplates but no I think that's the cogfort
>>97779244It looks just like the cannon one to me
>Tales of Crixxit’s exploits echo through the warrens of Blight City, speaking of a Skaven that can haunt any shadow and slay any target. Most of those stories are of his own invention, but what is true is that he single-handedly brought down an arcane Silver Tower with warpstone bombs while under Be’lakor’s employ, giving his legend at least a measure of credibility.I really appreciate Tzeench being the punching bag because if he was in his prime that would piss me off to no end GW does not write good Tzeench stories
Ok lads, what are the armies that would best benefit from the nogforts that aren’t CoS?The giant shoot transport options is already making my Ironjawz and Helsmiths drool, just need to cook up kitbash ideas.
>>97779284I would have said the flamethrower one since that has a longer barrel than the canon one
>>97779307Oh yeah now that you mention it is's probably this exact picture but mirrored, angle just makes it look weirdly flat in greyscale
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/nhhyp4kv/sylvaneth-rules-guarding-groves-with-a-new-army-of-renown/
>>97779307I'm really digging that paintjob.
>>97779306Im willing to try and convert a Cogfort into a Bad Moon walker
>>97779366It might be fun to cover the fort in shrooms.
>>97779366Gitz definitely make sense from a lore perspective - anything rules wise from the leaks speak to you? At first pass a giant shooty tough to move tank style would probably be great for em. Easy to slot in git models for the humans as well.
Does anyone have a collection of the DoK leaks? Can’t find em, don’t want to dig through random shit videos and take screenshots before my day
Are the chaos dwarfs fun in AOS?
>>97779226for some reason I keep attributing to this guy the fucking up of the black pyramid in my mind
>>97779477Last thread or maybe the thread before that had them all.
>>97779235You're projecting all sorts of mental illnesses.If you tell me that ulgu evolved black people without the sun because the people of ulgu moved to other realms and evolved in other realms, I'm going to tell you that ulgu did not evolve black people.It's not difficult.
>>97779537I thought we agreed he was personally responsible for every lore bullshit involving unnamed Skaven
>>97779276>Pale Drake. that's the name of the captain too>but she's blackthe part that earned the epithet isn't
>>97778994I was gonna say "Oh man I hope we get an RoR for SoB" then I realized I don't think the shields would work as well as I imagine. >>97779307I've so ready to get my ghouls kitbashed onto this thing, I've had all these fancy death bits from old imperial kits and imperial handgunner hats and guns to give my ghouls operating it.The "Carrion Clarion"
>>97779307>>97779356I keep thinking this is a mushroom until I open it
>>97779567NTA but are you an autist?
I like the Comfort but I just know it'll cost like £250
>>97779632How big is the base are we thinking as of now?
>>97779671160
>>97779226Liking him and I think the troops are great, but if I had to speak like the young ones I'd say that he looks like he's aura farming while the old midhammer snikch didn't even have to try. Honestly a more dinamic pose like that with the flowing cape and the blades making a pattern could have been great.
>>97779699160 round!! Hot damn this thing is gonna be massive. I'm fuckin' floored, except for how expensive it's gonna be.
Love that the middle guy has the same stupid helmet as the Deathrunner from Silver Tower
>>97779699Sounds about right
>>97779709The SCE dragons are 160mm
>>97778970what the fuck is that ugly piece of shit. >Guys 40k knights sell great! Lets make a fantasy knight.
>>97779722Mega gargs are only 130, I know big punchy dragon is 160 alongside alarielle.
>>97779731They did, that was mega-gargants
>>97779731Boss baby is also the only movie I’ve ever watched in my life
I painted a Skink yesterday :)
>>97779011As someone who has only tested TOW and seen it played a bit at my local club, I think the main difference is a sense of 'snappiness'. AoS is more responsive and much simpler, everything works pretty much as intended and once you have the rules down you almost never have to double-check things, while TOW has tons of exceptions and edge cases that make you check the rules. AoS also makes sure every model actually does things (even if its just contribute attacks to the bucket of dice, you still gotta make sure they're in position to actually reach the enemy), while in TOW a lot of infantry models *really* feel like glorified wound counters.Another big difference is how wacky the rules can get. I don't think there's anything in TOW that comes even close to doing things like Skulltaker teleporting into combat with enemy heroes from across the board, or the ninja jumping the Eshin Verminlord can do.Also, AoS has much, much less restrictive army rules compared to TOW. For example, if I have a favorite unit (say, Skullcrushers, dudes on juggernauts), AoS lets me make an army out of those. In TOW, I simply can't do that, the army construction rules will force me to take other units.
>>97779731You're confusing your pieces again anon. You're never going to make it out of the 700's at this rate
>>97779804he looks very subservient and capable
Is it copium to assume that they've realized stormcast are not good posterboys for the game and that CoS are now in that position
>>97779852Say that when CoS is in a starter
>>97779812>Also, AoS has much, much less restrictive army rules compared to TOW. For example, if I have a favorite unit (say, Skullcrushers, dudes on juggernauts), AoS lets me make an army out of those. In TOW, I simply can't do that, the army construction rules will force me to take other units.As I grow older I like this sort of thing less and less, and I think it was a bad and puerile habit for me to make so many skew lists previously. They're usually not fun for the other player.
>>97779852Pure delusion, yes, stormcasts stay lodged in the starters, rumors already confirm them in the next one.
>>97779879I prefer being able to take the units I like instead of being forced to have stuff I dislike. Skew lists that spam a single unit are more a balance issue, and I think at the moment at least, AoS has largely avoided it. I don't really see spam lists, they tend to be fairly varied.
>>97779233They clearly wanted a shotgun but i supose they didn't want to do a blunderbus.
>>97779852Coming up with the lore for you own walking city and reason for your crusade seems a bit more intuitive and compelling than the Stormhosts.
>>97779852We're getting more stormcast, their entire purpose is to be a launch box faction.
>>97779961How it seems the same level to me
>>97778970
>>97778970Looks like the Tower of Dr Zalost.
>>97779812Thanks. Sounds more like my cup of tea then. I've an army of ossiarchs, but how does the community feel about 3d prints and third party models?
Have pdfs for the Lumineth, the Disciples and/or the OBR been released yet for 4th?
>>9777995710/10, anon.
>>97779957KinoShould've switched the male and female heads though I feel like they would fit better on each other's body>>97779961I feel like the lack of /yourdudes/ potential was always by far the stormcasts' biggest flaw. As a faction every part of their design was handcrafted to he as suitable to newcomers as possible, very much like space marines. So elite, no skin because that's hard to paint for timmy, big surfaces, and a box art scheme that's about as easy as necrons.But then their lore is basically antithetical to your dudes? They can't really have their own place in the realms (on a non-temporary basis at least) because they get zapped back to azyr at some point. Their armour is all uniformly made in azyr. Speaking of, while marines are much more of a blank slate generic scifi warrior that you can slap any secondary aesthetic onto to create unique subfactions (egyptians, vikings, baroque vampires, romans, ...) the stormcast are ALWAYS these relstively specific art-deco greco-roman knights. They kind of dropped the art deco with thunderstrike, but still.I love coming up with /myguys/ ideas, even for factions I don't even play but for stormcast nothing ever really worked. Only when I just ignored and went against canon I managed to cook up some stuff.
>>97780029ELITE BALL KNOWLEDGE.
>>97780065That's gonna vary from place to place, but at least at my local no one gives a fuck.
>>97778970I wonder if the crown of the tower is inspired by davinci's tank design? Fits the general era cos is going for with a lot of its aesthetics.>>97780065Is a bit area dependant but on the whole I've found aos players pretty relaxed with that kind of stuff (as long as it's relatively clear what you're going for and it's in good taste so no coomershit). Aos is not very wysiwyg orientrd especially since they got rid of weapon options.
>>97780140I was definitely thinking the DaVinci reference was there, too.
>>97780140>I wonder if the crown of the tower is inspired by davinci's tank design?Why it should? Doesn't fit CoS design.>Fits the general era cos is going for with a lot of its aesthetics.CoS are just fantasy Imperium. Not certain era
SEND OUT YOUR GARGANTS
>>97780164I as going to make the exact same joke
>>97780161Ok
>>97780161CoS is very clearly going for a fantasifies hussite/renaissance aesthetic with handgonnes and all, combined with a bit of steampunkish stuff here and there. This fits davinci perfectly. Oh and also diamond shapea everywhere for some reason. In lore they are full on going for fantasy imperial guard but not in aesthetics.
>>97780065>>97780087>>97780140Sounds like it's a cool casual game then. What about list building, I can see that a lot of units have options for reinforcing them. Big blocks look more aesthetic to me than MSU, but would I be shooting myself in the foot if I went heavy on reinforcing units? Will I get stomped if I don't bring god models and other centerpieces. Last tow game I managed to wound one enemy dragon once, but the two monsters proceeded to eat most of my army without much ceremony.
>>97780140It's a hoarding, wargames have always flattened the tops of them. Irl it would have a tall point in the center.
>>97779852Prepare gor A NEW CHAMBER! In 5 ed box. And now with even more GRIMDARK SCE.
>>97780230List building is imo quite boring at the moment, it's pretty freeform which can be nice depending, but in general there's just not a whole lot in the way of options like artefacts and stuff. Basically your list is divided into regiments, you pick the leader hero of each regiments which depending on the model lets you pick certain units (but this is usually pretty permissive). That's basically it in terms of structure.>god models and centrepiecesActual god models like alarielle and nagash tend to be niche since they eat up so many points, but normal centrepieces depends on the model and faction. Some work perfectly without them, some are actually fucking useless, some add a nice twist to the army, others are basically auto-include. You mentioned bonereapers which has katakros who I'm pretty sure was pretty much mandatory before unfortunately but that was before the new battletome. I've heard he was somewhat of a noob trap right now but I'm not sure.
>>97780230To reinforce or not reinforce often depends on the unit's purpose. Skirmishing and screening units rarely want to be reinforced, they're better kept as cheap as possible. Hammer units and certain hordes usually want to be reinforced (for example, Slaves to Darkness Chosen and Idoneth Eels almost always want to come in reinforced units to deliver their proper punch) and reinforced units usually take buffs better.How much you want a centerpiece varies from army to army, I think. Some have really, really strong ones and are reliant on them for various reasons, such as Flesh-Eater Courts who really want Ushoran or a king on monster because they're reliant on heroes and their foot heroes are very squishy, so having heroes with actual beef is important, while others factions, like Cities and Ossiarchs can get away without them. The OBR book is still pretty new, but I've tried games with and without Katakros, and while he was good in the game I used him, I didn't critically miss him in the other game. Nagash is probably an active detriment in their case, he eats far too many points without generating discipline.
>>97779054A mega gargant with mega titties on your side must be a huge moral boost during a dawnbringer cursade
>>97778970So the real Cities of Sigmar were the friends we made along the way?
>>97780360fat doesn't maintain firmness at a larger scale
>>97780391The HUMAN friends, sorry
So if ogors are about to reject modernity and embrace tradition is the concept of man eaters gonna die? Or get shuffled into CoS
If anyone has the full DoK pdf and posts it my firstborn child is yours. Old posts have some pictures here and there, but not the whole thing
>>97780391Always has beenMan I hate those turrets on the gate gargants
>>97780404But what about giants and ogres? They are involved
>>97780391>Cities of Sigmar kick out all non-human races EXCEPT ogres and giants Interesting
>>97780434Contractors are not a part of the company
>make a big deal on stream about how the engine of the cogfort is duardin made and so valuable and it's DUARDIN CRAFTSMANSHIP and it's so special because DUARDIN made it>couldn't be assed to even put a dwarf engineer on the model tending to itit's actually so over
>>97780434
>>97780397Good thing mega milkers would be filled with godbeast magic rather than fat
>>97780460that's going away with the reboot
These guys don't think the Cogfort will sell(and that Underworlds sucks)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nwx1DhHXmCs
>>97780461Do NOT fuck ogors and gargants
>>97780484DO fuck the big girls. Contrary to popular belief, 'Destruction' actually refers to many Dawner pelvises, not the "grand alliance" of dumb greenskins.
>>97780469It's still gonna cost 150 bucks even if it looks cool so I get the sentiment
>>97780326>>97780333Yeah that sounds reasonable. Small amount of magic items is fine by me, a lot of them are autotakes or traps in TOW.Here's my ossiarch collection, I reckon I could easily make a 2000 PTS list out of these. Are the new archers good? For ages I've thought that the roster is sorely missing those, but I can't justify buying them yet until my job situation clears up.
>>97780360an unconventional approach to warfare but a most welcome one
LMAO TOWTARDS ARE ABSOLUTELY SEETHING!!!!!! GAMES WORKSHOP DELIVERED. THEY ACTUALLY DELIVEREDi have been defending Games Workshop on this board for THREE YEARS and tonight i feel VINDICATED. do you understand what i am saying. i feel PERSONALLY VINDICATEDthe SCULPTS. bro. THE SCULPTS. i have not ordered them yet but i will. i have not seen the price yet but it does not matter. it does not matter what the price is. new things were shown and i was RIGHT to believe and TOW babies were WRONG, they must be soooo mad right now! like where are the TOWtards right now. WHERE ARE THEY. sitting in their little thread pretending they don't care?? pretending this doesn't affect them?? it affects them. i know it affects them. i have been checking their thread every 15 minutes to make sure it affects them and i can confirm that it does. my boyfriend doesn't really get why i'm still up but he will understand eventually. some things are bigger than bedtime. some things are bigger than all of us.we are so back. GW is so back. i have never been more back in my entire life. TOW players will not recover from tonight and neither will i but for completely different reasons. actually shaking with excitement rn
I'm never gonna play Cities but I actually really like all their new stuff. I think they have a fairytale vibe like really running into the ridiculous with stuff like the doorgate ogres or the tollhelm on the death wizard, but it all pops very well. The cogfort is a little safe, I was expecting something more spiderlike, but it works
this copypasta is not gonna happen.
We had out fun, but it's time for the important stuff.SHOW ME ANY NEW GARGOYLIANS YOU'VE SPOTED
>>97780484it's not fucking, it's spelunking
>>97780554I don’t know if the moving skull with a steel helm is supposed to be a gargoyle but it is striking at least
>>97779344Soulshriek is really bad.>has to be non-hero>has to be revenant>has to be wholly within 12" of your probably fragile heroSimply not worth it for a 5+ to deal mortals. Sylvaneth revenants are not resilient units nor are they large units. Juice is not worth the squeeze. However, Regenesis looks decent especially if there's ways to boost Priest (X).
>>97780564Gargs are the fairy tell order demons CoS have on their bases
>>97779208Faces aside (i hope there are enough helmeted heads with white features in a box), i think the Grenadiers are awesome. I dont plan on playing Cities, but they are my favorite unit by far. The combination of big axes and crude looking guns is just cool.
>>97780524Looks fine, you can do something out of that. If you get a soulreaper, the dude with the scythe, you can build a funny castle that is quite sturdy out of the Immortis, Harvesters and Mortek Guard, and the Liege-Kavalos plus 2x5 deathriders is kind of a meme thing that's very good at skirmishing (and basically useless at actual combat).Archers would fit perfectly into that lineup as the means to actually force your opponent to come at you, without them a canny opponent will just go around your tanky wall and attack the softer parts like the harvester and the cavalry. A reinforced archer unit actually does pretty good damage and can't really be ignored, but you can put the above mentioned wall in front of them and force the enemy to go through that first.
>>97779879There are a number of games that use the retinue system AoS 4e tried to adopt, most notably Conquest. It can work really well, it's just kind of implemented like shit in this game. I agree that some formal structural rules to make """realistic""" armies is desirable in a wargame.
>>97780531I feel like this is some edited copypasta.
>>97780564He has legs
What were the leaks about a battlemage mercenary regiment?
>>97780554I've only seen the skullguy in the grenadiers and two herebut also this shows an alternative build for the arch knightso now we've got>bear>fish>crow>deer>manticore>griffin>boar
>>97780524>new archers goodNew archers are annoying as fuck, 18 inch range, 1 rend reinforced block gives you 40 attacks also absolutely fucks any death units up since it stops reviving units and healing.
>>97780484i will court a giant girl and i will have her smash me (lovingly) and my enemies (clubbingly)and then she can give me rides on her shoulder
>>97780623Having the only helmetless model be a raging negro woman is very funny
Lurker coming back to this thread after the last world rumors started circling around. How has AoS 4th been since launch? I was really excited for this edition and then that immediately went away when I saw how regiments are organized.
>>97778970Finally I can put my Hammerfall to use as a proxy!
>>97780651this actually made me realize that the GW sculpt is very unique because they're the only ones bonkers enough to make it out of stone and woodwork - it's uniquely NOT-Steampunk, despite the name there aren't any visible cogs or engines or pistons and it's not even manned by mad scientists or engineers, just "Generic Soldier Men" - this construct moves through magic, not tech.This being said I really like the Warmachine model you posted
>>97780642You have a poor sense of humor.
>>97780416They're getting a new named character who's a Maneater, it's more just the old resin models are going and not being replaced right away. I'd expect a follow up Maneater unit as one of the first things that gets added to them later.
>>97780469Sounds like they might just be retarded then.
>>97778970first cool fantasy unit I've seen in years and years maybe even a decade
>>97780519>150 bucksLmfao we should be so lucky. Anon mega gargants are like 215 american petrodollars, this thing will probably be closer to 250.
an unmourned victim of Games Workshop's misguided diversity policy is that we will never see an African inspired faction (because "Africans live among us and wear what we wear and fight like we fight Chud! It's racist to depict them use a Zenkomo formation while wielding leather shields!")....And I know that nobody else cares, but I find African culture and warfare genuinely cool, and it's a real pity that every time I see a black man on the table he will be wearing fucking plate armor
>"AELVES could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this realm before. There could be AELVES anywhere." The radiant wind of Hysh wind felt good against his silken robes. "I HATE AELVES" he thought. Sigmar's sacred hymns reverberated his entire golden helmet, making its rattle even as cheap gunpowder wine circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of pointed ears after dark. "With a khymera, you can go anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.
>>97780573Fusiliers come with a bunch of kino faceplate helmet options that you don't see anywhere on the coverart, if these guys get some of those they'd be 10/10.Love these guys, the axes are great, the bomber dude is great, even the flamethrower is better than I expected from the preview. Love the one with the little cudgel too.
>>97779021>When I laid eyes on the Gate Gargants, for the first time, I saw a pair of models with whom my retarded son could truly identify
>>97780573The flamethrower guy is pretty sick.
>>97780642probably there are more, but I seriously hope there are helmets to spare
>>97778994>>97779208>>97779307This game is more and more bizzare with every new addition. Hope guys responsible for this will be kept away from TOW as far as possible.
We think AoS 5th is ditching circles like 40K is?
>>97780746>an unmourned victim of Games Workshop's misguided diversity policy is that we will never see an African inspired faction (because "Africans live among us and wear what we wear and fight like we fight Chud!

>>97780682>this construct moves through magic, not tech.you can see the engine in the back and the chains for the movement of the legs
>>97780789I think he means that its powered by embargard or whatsitmcalled.
FREE STRIKE FIRST FOR MY CHOICE OF MY UNITS? IN THE ENEMY TURN? AM I DREAMING?
>>97780775i never used circles. i cant imagine why you would ever want to. just put down a small objective marker and measure out from it
>>97780083I think the additional chambers went a long way to remedy this issue, but I think they are almost too little, too late in the eyes of many I think. The first impressions are hard to shake, and that first impressing being incorruptible, unkillable saviors just isn’t that compelling in the Warhammer settings. The Cogforts not being bound solely to the CoS because those crewing them are regular, corruptible humans already introduces interesting directions you can go with their /yourdudes/ lore that you can’t with SCE without breaking the lore.
>>97780754Why are all white mages huge assholes
>>97780789i kinda like that the cities humans look like muppets. its so goofy
>>97780682It’s stone and metal
>>97780623I wish they were all arch knights instead of just being lead like one. They're basically cavaliers on foot, which to be fair was to be expected but still. I like it more when the animal is worked into the armour and the helmet instead of just being an ornament on top. I gotta learn how to sculpt so I can do some of this stuff myself man.Also boar guy is a lot better than the other variation, I feel like if you're going to dual wield melee weapons it has to be two of the same ones (and no swords unless they're curved!). A flail and a sword looks like it's just begging for something to go wrong.>>97780754This guy on the other hand is insanely good, I was not expecting him to look that nice based on the leaks. Those heads are quite unnerving.
>>97780789What the fuck is that?
>>97780858The chimera looks very evil yes.
>>97780865>jade symbol>hexagonal>vaguely asian
>>97780880cant wait for my cog pagodas
I kinda hope Jorvis gets a book. Big fan of the ranger archetype.
>>97778994>being so retarded you can only be useful as a doorkektusI really can't wait for this setting to die already
>>97780322There won’t be any new chambers because Sigmar dies along with the mortal realms. How SCE work will be very different.
>>97778994...who leashes the giant to the ground?
>>97780905I don't see how sigmar dying changes anything, they can just pound out new ones with the anvil. Grungi came up with the system, Sigmar just gave them little pieces of his power.
>>97780919Not being able to reforge is a pretty big difference. But also a needed one imo.
>>97780919>Sigmar just gave them little pieces of his power.it's almost as if those little pieces are a fundamental part
>>97780933Can't sacrosanct still reforge? >>97780935 I'm assuming that means we just don't get new stormies the old ones will just have to be more competent.
>>97780915i think the gargants themselves might nail themselves to the ground so it's harder for them to be pushed back, they got those big ass maces they can use as hammers
>>97780806I mean, even if you didn’t use circles, there’s still an imaginary one surrounding the 40mm objective. Not using them is only handicapping yourself and potentially wasting game time measuring models instead of just counting how many are on it.
#NotMyCogfort
>>97780970That one is definitely worse
Genuinely surprised people like the Cogfort. It’s gives me Fischer price castle vibes
>>97780788whatever, I like Trolls and their fake Voodoo and I like Aztecs and Lizardmen and all kinds of savages, but "you'll never ever ever get African warfare" in Warhammer stings.Africa of course has its own distinct flavor, it's first of all a dry land, where tribes march on foot for enormous distances, plus I like the body decoration, the armor and weapons we never see, and quite frankly I also miss seeing black people in their element, who look the part, who look like they belong, who look like they're in charge etcetera.
>>97780988Yeah same. It looks fucking ridiculous
>>97780976Yeah I'm really glad they didn't go with that design I always thought it was ass
>>97780988>It’s gives me Fischer price castle vibesExactly, it's awesome
>>97781001Personally I don’t like how it looks so much like a toy but to each his own
Maybe we'll get this as a variant in 10 years. It kinda looks like an oversized Steam Tank that sprouted legs so that'll fit better when they merge AoS with Fantasy
>>97780815Yeah cos are infinitely more pliable to /yourdudes/-ing than stormcast I feel like, they're way more integrated into their surrounding than the more ephemeral stormcasts, although they've tried to remedy that with stormkeeps and bleak citadels etc but it never really caught on.
>>97780988It is, for the umpteenth time, the way it was painted. Look at the hand cannon held by that knight - the color of the wood.That is not meant to be painted wood like the underside of the roof, it's meant to be natural wood. Yet it's almost bright red.It's super crisp and clean and bright, zero moss or dirt on the tower, everything freshly painted, not even the feet are dirty.
>>97781011Yeah, it would be ridiculous if your plastic toys looked like plastic toys!
sigmar is dying but the stormcast find a new way to reforgethe narrative hooks are already in place. did you think it was a coincidence that stormcast are suddenly worshipping a death god (morrda) now?stormcast finding new sources of immortality is their big narrative hook in TLW
>>97781124It literally says on the boxes that these miniatures are not toys. Such a cucked argument regardless.
>>97780573should have been two different units... a ranger type unit, and a heavy gunner unitfeels like theyre trying to be both at once and it doesnt work for me
>>97781139good.Everyone in the world - noone excluded - wants Age of Nagash.6 Morbillion copies sold day 1
>>97780391Im so glad i can take all the fucking elves, vegetables and stunties refugees out of our safe and glorious cities...
>>97780484Gargants (female) are for humans appreciation and admiration
>>97780623>Griffin knight >No Griffins Eh?
i need a quick rundown what will happen to cos after sigmar (fake) dead?
>>97781120Lmao the sovl filter never fails
>Tfw no Gate Gargant Gf
>>97781180Not much, there will be a political split between Hammerhall Aqshy and Ghyran apparently, with Aqshy remaining Sigmar Fanatics and Ghyran worshipping Taal instead.
>>97781180They become split in two factions (one tolerant, one fanatical sigmarites) and also there are further human factions....In other words, they haven't decided yet: they can split them in 200 warring factions and make them the only humans in the setting (and we NEVER GET TO SEE the other human factions), or they can unite them all and add 200 other human factions (and we NEVER GET TO SEE the other infighting CoS factions).>but what about Sigmar dying?They don't even realize it happened.Apparently they may become the new poster boys while the Stormcast take a background role.
>>97781180The background fluff will probably change from various cities to just Hammerhal, preserving despite the shakeup. Given it's Sigmar's plan I doubt it'll be destructive to Order but iirc leakers hinted as Cities being destroyed like the Phoenicium in 3rd so
>>97781179What do you mean, there's one right there anon!>>97781180If I remember correctly they'll become more like kingdoms, hammerhal aqsha will become the centre of the chud 40k kingdom that copes about sigmar being dead and hates dorfs and elfs, hammerhal ghyra will be the hippie kingdom and is more chill with other order races and also follows fucking Taal (???) for some reason. Dunno what's going to happen to lethis and greywater etc presumably they get to be their own little city states still. Maybe they do their own thing, half of them have other pateon gods anyway, or maybe they'll pick a side and we get s fun little Sigmarite Great Schism going on who knows.
>>97780788Tribal doesn't actually mean anything.
>>97781180You will have Sigmar inquisition still worshiping a corpse and angry at any one that dares to day Sigmar is dead, he is just on a long long vacationAnd you will have the land of progess with Cogforts, steampunk and a new forge god as patron.Overall like mankind Imperium with Mechanicus and IG.
>>97781225Tribal means a non-creature card can have creature types
>>97781220>there's one right there;(
>>97781180The Cities formerly of Sigmar
>>97781229Yeah no, like 90% sure that Aqshy is going to be the forge kingdom with cogforts etc compared to the progressive nature hippies in Ghyran
>>97781220I just realized that "they worship Taal" is a way to say that they essentially take the role of a "wild" city that can collaborate with Sylvaneth. Their capital is in Ghyran after all.
>>97781197
>>97781247The two warring realms of Feedmar and Seedmar.One is more of a city slicker faction, the other a yokel faction.They go to war on their fancy German cogforts when they try planting gummy bears
>>97781197>>97781260>tfw you will never climb down from the shooting platform of your gate gargant gf after killing 4000 skaven and headpat her and tell her she did a good job
>>97781258I miss 2e bros
>>97781258ROOT KINGS WHEEENWHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
I dont know if I want the setting to fracture in order to get order of the furrow, but its certainly a thought.
>>97781234>magic the eshittening
>>97781260>>97781274The ogres are more human and lithe.The giants are more human and are shorter than wild giants.The CoS humans are fucking them, slowly absorbing them into the general population.
>>97781299>posts League of Legends as if it's any better
>>97781296Anon... Ghyran is gone
>>97781290I actually miss 1st edition.Godbeasts was an unsung apex of insanity for the setting.And the fact you could play Tomb Kings vs a mixed force of Fyreslayers and Sylvaneth is crazy
>>97781220>>97781258I wonder if the realmgates are still going to be a thing, and if yes, how the fuck this split will happen. And if not, isn't hammerhal aqsha pretty dependant on ghyra to feed what is basically a medieval megacity the size of a small european country?
>>97781335AOS as a setting died in 3rd ed when they got away from this whacky insane storytellingbring on the last world
>>97781296where the hell does this "root kings" meme come from? I've never heard that name in canon(there's also that schizo that posts about the "Kurnothi" and in his image for some reason he includes a bunch of treemen that are not Kurnothi at all, what is it with Wood Aelf posters man)
>>97781314Juding by know ape biology you can have a humanoid 7 times larger than a gorilla an that would still play out normally
>>97781325I don't play Riftbound so I can't contest the claims.
>>97781362>where the hell does this "root kings" meme come from? I've never heard that name in canonThe book series that introduced Gardus
>>97781229>You will have Sigmar inquisition still worshiping a corpse and angry at any one that dares to day Sigmar is dead, he is just on a long long vacationMake the SCE their elite options, and have them knowing that Sigmar is dead for real, and open about that fact. Would be a good source of intra-faction conflict.
>>97781327>Ghyran is gone>GW crosses out the word "Ghyran">Writes in "Everspring Swathe" instead>Copy paste the primary map from the latest Sylvaneth battletome>Replace "Aqshy" with "The Great Parch">Etc>Job done
>>97781375someone I knew was posting the ai slop cogforts too
>>97781356I think THAT realmgate at least is closed, because the two cities are at war or at least at odds in The Last World.The big question if the continents become islands is "how are they going to deal with the lack of any major cities on the coastlines"? (because tomorrow's coastline were yesterday's edges of the realms that were either unmapped or empty)
>>97781375this is not how you do it: you need to buy 10 boxes of the old Mortis Engine or the new Black Coach and stick those masses of wraiths underneath the tower instead of the legs
>>97781335>>97781360>nostalgia for "pretend to ride a pony" with no points as the maps are some art school reject's vomitStop it. Get some help.
>>97781362They were a thing mentioned in some blurbs of the sylvaneth battletomes and had a character or two in the eight lamentation series that featured them in it, alongside order of the furrow. Oh I think Prince maesa also had one too. I’m not the biggest fan of dwarves but I could digest them as an underworlds band or as a one off unit. Even just having them in some diorama piece would be nice.
>>97781362They were mentioned in some early novels, I think plague garden for one.Druid wood elf codes dwarfs is a fun concept, people made concept art and some conversions, cool stuff.Say what you will about 1st edition but I feel there were a lot of people who just heard 1 half mentioned lore blurb and turned it into a whole passion project. Like I think most of those chamon conversions look kind of shit but there's an undeniable amount of SOVL involved.>>97781375Sloppa be damned that scheme and those drapes are baller.
>>97781335>mixed force of Fyreslayers and SylvanethWithout battle traits, artefacts, etc because GA rules and Malign Sorcery came later, in 2nd edition 1e is half baked
>>97781419no. I want to visit the Pupa Grotesque
>>97781375>>97781391kys slop faggots
>>97781438>Without battle traits, artefacts, etcexactly, without bloat
>>97781452Fighting armies with them? You don't know what you're talking about mate
>>97781392>The big question if the continents become islands is "how are they going to deal with the lack of any major cities on the coastlines"? (because tomorrow's coastline were yesterday's edges of the realms that were either unmapped or empty)I'm guessing most of the realms won't survive, and it's really going to be only the mapped out parts of each one that'll get stitched together, becoming the continents. 99% of shit gw mentions takes place only in these designated mapped places anyway nowadays, honestly the writing was on the wall.
>>97781433>a lot of people who just heard 1 half mentioned lore blurb and turned it into a whole passion projectI still believe the Nighthaunt weren't meant to be a fully fledged army at all until Games Workshop saw this
I do wish we got a stank, it'd be interesting to see that ornate cast iron and wood style for one
>>97781478no, nighthaunt were decided the moment gw counted the sales of the plastic wraith and banshee released during 8th, they were very successful kits, especially the former you'll notice the entire nighthaunt range is just a development of this design
>>97781478There's blanche concept art floating around which dates back to 2015, they were planned for a while I think.
>>97781419i didnt say anything about the rules, you illiterate faggot
>>97781471Yeah for all real intents and purposes these maps are the entire relevant realms anyway. GW will have to do some bullshit around the edges to stich everything together, but otherwise it's pretty straightforward.
>>97781493I think losing the "Lisa Simpson hair" aesthetic of the Spirit Hosts was a mistake.A few big characters with ghost noodle hair would have looked good
>>97781478The Realmgate War books and GA Death has spreads for Nighthaunt that are just the one hero converted to represent multiple figures
So gargants, slaanesh, and maybe serpahon are going to potentially be a mondays day reveal. Although Monday is probably gonna be dedicated mostly to showing off the 11th edition shit. Granted there’s not much to really be shown off from it from what I can glance from the trailer.
>>97781447silence luddite
>>97781519>>97781391>>97781375these all look like shit and you should feel bad for posting them
>>97781528how are you going to sculpt this
>>97781519>just a sculpt a new cogfort yourself how inspiring ai jeet!
>>97781530Look man I just was posting that I saw this shit already too, I'm not happy about it. It is funny though that even with AI most of these still look like shit.
>>97781525GW will do a dedicated 11th edition preview show at some point to show off the entire box set+some extra shit, they've been milking that pattern for several editions already.
Interesting news. Many DE kits are now listed as " Sold Out Online " meaning they will NOT be restocked. It seems that this is even more confirmation that DE are going back to TOW.
>>97781538>even with AIthe AI is the problem you're brown
>>97781542Can’t wait to see them alongside savage orcs
>>97781542Confirmation that Dark Elves are being cut from the upcoming CoS book which will be out soon.
>>97781534i bet there will be a market for 3d printed cogfort bits
>>97781551I'm not, but okay
It's crazy how less angry I would be if they released a Malerion model or even just a line of lore saying "he died stop waiting for him to appear"
>>97781535Not him but what’s wrong with kitbashing
>>97781542Couldn't let CoS have figures that look good, I see.
>>97781542Dispossessed are gone from the webpage too, now exclusive to TOW alongside the tank and griffin
>>97781574>literally DoK masks on half the models>still coping abou them not being DoK
>>97781581that's not a kitbash
>>97781553I doubt they will return because certain progressives can't help but see africans when they look at savage orcs.>>97781554>>97781583Yeah I am basically 99.9% sure they are leaving CoS. If they were staying I think the Doomfire Warlocks would stay in DoK.>>97781586That was inevitable.
I believe in a Spiderfang spearhead with new models!
>>97781574Well, we know he's not gonna be in 5th edition so your Malerion will look more like this.Look at him riding Seraphon, she's a magnificent dragon.
>>97781600ok
>>97781607>I doubt they will return because certain progressives can't help but see africans when they look at savage orcs.Let's not act like people here weren't making jokes about that same thing and snickering "heh, based gw", come on.
>>97781589>half of them kind of look like DoK, so I can safely ignore the other half!I don't follow the logic
>>97778994i dont get why they keep shoehorning negores and non-attractive femoids when nobody outside of america wants them
>>97781554We know this Sunday will be Eye of Terror, so i would guess the week after is a specialist games week, probably Cathay and Custdoes in their separate boxes or it could be a nothing week that sometimes happens, but after that I would expect it to be CoS/Eshin Spearhead + Cogfort
>>97781419>pretend to ride a ponySecondary spotted.
>>97781615Those people were retarded. Savage orcs were cavemen equivalents not african tribals. But that doesn't change that the ytbois at Nottingham clearly have racial hangups. Look at how half the new CoS models are straight up african.
>>97781633All the characters were white though
>>97781633c'mon now
>>97781608Between TOW and AoS, surely they'll get updated in one of them, right...?
>>97781617>all but one>half
>>97781652Savage Orcs are OOP Spiderfang are native American stereotyped
>>97781617They're one unit, so they form 1 whole, you can't cut that in half
>>97781615I don't remember any chuds saying "THEY SURE LOOK LIKE A TRIBE OF NIGGERS!" And using Bonesplitterz to make racist comparisons.It's just the usual rape fantasy of aggression and offenses that never happened.
>>97781519>>97781528>>97781541>slopforts
>>97781648These are about as African as GW is removed from good game design.
>>97781648These are literally just cavemen. You don't know what african tribals look like. Much like the retarded ytbois at Nottingham.
>>97781615they weren't
>>97781684Yeah, and pygmies aren't racist either
>>97781655>>97781666Let's not split them in half, let's just see them for what they are: they are an expansion of the Shadeborn. They all have the same pin on their chest, they all wear the same black cloak and they all have the same shadow magic around them.Two of them (TWO) have a similar mask to Sisters of Slaughter, which by the way are a Warhammer Fantasy design and not a Daughters of Khaine design.These masks are also different from Sisters of Slaughter because they have a huge ass horizontal "8", the symbol of the Umbraneth, on their forehead, as well as horns and Umbraneth weapons.>but the Shadeborn are Daughters of Khaine!No they are not, they are Shadow Elves from Ulgu, serving Malerion.Their leader Slythael Shadestalker has the same staff the same mask the same icons and the same shadow effect and the same barbed cloak as Mistweaver Saih.
>>97781684The old ones are undeniable based on african tribals in movies from the 40's or something let's be real here. New ones were more neutral cavemanesque i agree
>>97781375Legit had to make a double take, until i realized you can't sculpt smoke
>>97781700the goalpoast was here a moment ago, where did it go?
Malerion can come but he better stays away from my bloody snake girls.Morathi is already a beloved leader and we dont need some kid ruining that.
>>97781700Pygmy is the name of an ethnic group, that's a little hard to use. They'd need to give it a new name, and would probably be better off just having halflings or gits to fill the role.
>>97781669>>97781694https://desuarchive.org/tg/search/image/2HOmKP3fKWX5PjUul7DGJw/Some of these posts are absolutely implying it. One is even responding to a picture of pygmies, lamenting "old gw".What the other guy replied was great. Just say those people are retarded; don't pretend that they never existed. And I want to make it clear that I have no problem with savage orc models themselves.
>>97781725Sloppa is getting scarily good. If you showed somebody with no knowledge of warhammer or models the soulblight and nighthaunt ranges and snuck that one in there they wouldn't blink twice. At least you needed to know what you were thinking with photoshop. Now every retard with an interner connection can make up every image they want. I'm sure this will have no ill effects on society.
>>97781700noone involved in the making or use of pygmies was so out of hatred.noone was ever insulted by pygmies.
>>97781752A white Dwarf from the 2000s has them reimagined as "Jungle Halflings" (they always were Halfling related anyway) and painted white, I thought that was interesting
>>97781752>Pygmy is the name of an ethnic group,which is also being attacked by the Bantu majority
>>97781700I mean I wouldn't know I've never met one.
>>97781723Missed the Warframe thread?
>>97781756>posters>people you don't understand anonymous posting, do you?
>>97781756I can literally find MORE posts like that about Lizardmen being Latino savages, Chaos Dwarves being jews, or Tau being ching chong communists than posts ""implying"" offensive comparisons for Savage Orcs.Let's face it, Tehenahuin is 10 times more racist than any savage orc, and I'd argue the same goes for Settra and his empire based on slaves and pyramids.Imagine if we had to respect the Mongols too, what we'd need to say on the Ogre Kingdoms and Hobgoblin Khans
>>97781771>they always were Halfling related anywayno, they weren't, they were crash-landed aliens
>>97781771If I recall right the pygmies were from Lustria/Warhammer South America, so they were getting their stereotypes crossed wrong.
>>97781765pygmies are discontinued for no reason at all?
>>97781771Yeah just having dark skinned halflings as your pygmy inspired guys would be fine. Though albino three eyed gits to ape tokoloshe would be much better imo, but I'm biased because I use african mythological creatures in my homebrew campaigns and I owe them some support for all the kudos I've gotten for being so "original".
>>97781774"Bantu" means nothing, it's an actually racist political term to berate and insult the majority local Africans whenever they threaten the status quo attacking another tribe.They also call "Bantu" any racial group that dares attacking the (((Tutsi)))
Pygmies look so lame... Besides they will only be weird slaves of cos men and that would trigger every single woke autist in existence
>>97781815Yes but the Halflings were their descendants ("fixed" by the Old Ones I assumed in another one of their failures)
>>97781821pygmies were discontinued because old and gw moved onwards to making army ranges instead of random stuffif you read the actual fluff of pygmies you would find it way less offensive or insensitive than your strawman would paint them aspygmies also were never completely removed from the background, the lizardmen books kept referencing them through all editions
>>97780682Rackhams confrontation did that already. Sad they were a French company tho but the mini's are still made by some licensee
>>97781848Nothing ever suggested that, no.
>>97781832Do the pygmies have political power in DRC?since a quick glance at the news sources, that seems to be where all this occurs.
>>97781862Well I mean they are French artists, you can't compete with that level of imagination, cut GW some slack they're just British they need more time to accept and try things
>>97781859maybe if you're a yt boi mayo monkey
>>97781862Rackham quality was really good specially Alchemist line
>>97781870please anon, don't make me post screenshots ffs
>>97781888Please do post screenshots
>>97781862That seems to be a guy wearing masonry for armor, which is a bit different, but also very cool.
>>97781878Only to bad the French are absolutly shite to do business with, Rackham as a company deserved it's downfall.>>97781885They did some of the prettiest mini's out there, especially at that time. I have a small Dirz host somewhere along my collection including a tarascus.>>97781907It is from their abyssal dwarfs (chaos dwarfs) so it is actually a demon possessing the thing.
>>97781924Those things on top are dwarfs? Damn.
>>97781946Their stuff had a certain aesthetic. The character box set for that army was like a chess set.
>>97781870Pygmies are the degenerated descendants of spacefarers
>>97781924>demon possessed houseNeat. Also I suppose the French WOULD make their evil dwarves German lmao
>>97781988did someone say demon possessed horse?!
>>97781985yeah, I know, it's what I was saying
>>97782007Yeah, backing you up
Official /tg/ ranking of CoS reveals:>S tierErasmus, cogfort, mallus forgepriest>A tierFiremage>B tierGrenadiers, Jorvan>C tierDeath mage, Gate Gargants (S without the turrets but what can you do)>D tierGallants
>>97782066Genuinely what the fuck were they thinking with the Gargant guns? Looks comically bad.
>>97782066I’m not selling the gallants short until I see their sprues. I know the announcers are usually retarded but I’m hoping they’re actually bits heavy/kitbash friendly like they said.
>>97782066But Gargants are kino...
>>97782079Ya figure you could salvage them by greenstuffing little rockets in them and pretending it's one of these?
>>97782081It could just be the heads (visor + face interchangable) but cavaliers have flat joint weapon arms too so I expect that
>>97782066>Death mage in C tierIt deserves to be in A tier
>>97782099Maybe, but if it doesn't work those guns are genuinely hideous. The Cybertruck of AoS.
The old World was not even mentioned...Damn, how is it to keep taking Ls?
>>97782066Death mage withthe bell is much better than this shit
>>97782121Literally does not matter to TOWddlers because they were never going to buy minis anyway. Their content will get announced at PAX when the next TWW DLC is revealed.
>>97781723>they hated him because he told the truth.
>>97781723He truly is the great poet of our time
>>97782066replace priest with bellmage, he's greatalso interesting to note that both him and the fire mage have fluff stating they need countermeasures or their magic gets dangerous, this to me reads like the cos fluff already starting to align with the presumably more grimdark fluff of the last world
>>97782166Magics kinda always has been volatile, even in fb, but it’s definitely the first time they leaned the minis that way though, beyond some tzeentch stuff obviously. I like it personally either way.

>>97782166Not really if they make necromancy 100% evil gay and cringe again as well as say humans can’t learn more than one magic wind again than it’s basically back to fantasy.

So what are we expecting on the new spearhead starter price wise? Same as the current spearhead starter set (renamed ultimate starter set)? That one is 175 yuros or about 220 burgerbucks. Has 11 stormies and 26 skaven, versus the new one which has if I'm counting correctly 18 CoS and 22 skaven
>>97782764
>>97782774

>>97783060if anything he shouldn't use a cogfort as base at all and instead make a dark elf towerno need for a beast underneath, it can be made to fly
>>97782984yes, I understand fully:here is the statement that I debunked:>>97781870>"NOTHING EVER SUGGESTED THAT THE HALFLINGS WERE DESCENDANTS OF THE PYGMIES"And I was very successful.I just needed to find a single suggestion for the statement to be rendered false, and I did.There are in fact suggestions that the Halflings migrated from tropical regions alongside stone age humans, those same tropical regions where pygmies (known as "Black Halflings" in that same book) were, as an experiment of the old ones alongside other humans and Amazons. Black humans and Black Halflings lived in the Southern Hemisphere, then together they moved North and we have the story of White Humans and White Halflings in the Old World.Here's the second statement that I debunked, this was even more absurd:>>97781815>THE PYGMIES WERE NOT HALFLING-RELATEDwhich is insane, as they are known as "black halflings", as "jungle halflings" and as "forest halflings".In other word, this does in fact say what I want it to say.The people at the Warhammer Fantasy Wiki also back me up.Now you can claim you know more than the people who wrote that, and you can even claim that you know more than me, when I posted proof of what I said: you can be more of an expert than all of us combined.But you need to prove it.And at this point I don't know how: your task is to demonstrate that Black Halflings, Forest Halflings and Jungle Halflings have zero relation with Halflings.Good luck
>>97783050It doesn't say that Humans and Halflings moved North from the Southlands.It says that humans lived in "the Southern Hemisphere" and then migrated North.A strange choice of words, yes?It was done to indicate Lustria alongside the Southlands.>stone age humans in Lustria instead of the Southlands???yes, as you can see it says so. Different tribes of humans alongside Black Halflings lived happily together in Lustria.
I just found out the new sylvaneth battle traits dropped their ability to teleport and most warscrolls don't seem to have it either. I'm not exactly sad but it's gonna take some time to process how that changes how the army functions and what happens to the flavor.
>>97783088Jesus Christ you're one sperging retard.You didn't post anything saying that the halflings were derived from pygmies in any way, shape or form, you posted about stuff saying halflings came from southland primitives and stuff saying pygmies get called black halflings.How much time did you waste to die on this hill? anon already posted the stuff saying they were aliens too >>97781985Calm the fuck down, son.
>>97783076depends on how big the giant was but yeah probably
>>97783084Actually yeah, like a smaller Black Ark. Only instead of corsairs its full of witches.
>GW: We won't use AI, we don't support it. NOOOOO ITS HECKIN NOT PERFECT B-B-BUT
My Pygmies come from the Hollering Lake in Shyish and have waged a genocidal war against the Halflings
>>97783118>It doesn't say that Humans and Halflings moved North from the Southlands.it says they moved north into the old world, what kind of convoluted migration are you suggesting they carried out for them to move north of lustria? you think they traversed the ocean as stone age primitives?
>>97783133With all the time I spent I come back here and I still get shat on?No, I win>sperg>nerdyeah, whatever.Black Halflings, Forest Halflings, Jungle Halflings.
>>97783181Why do you expect anyone to reward you for wasting time making an argument you couldn't actually back up?Do you think lizardmen being called lizardmen means they were derived from men?
>>97782825Not so fast you rat bastards
>>97783208you lizards think you're so smart until you realize the skaven put in 5 tons of warpstone nukes inside of theirs (they're all probably duds but it's the thought that counts)i like the ziggurat design for your idea though,very sick
>>97783176Yes.There's all kinds of cataclysm bullshit going on, there are Wood Elves in Cathay, Lizardmen in the Dragon Isles and Dwarfs in the Mountains of Mourn (in Lustria too, if the "cave of the bearded skulls" is still canon).But here's the most likely scenario:Lizardmen and Slann lived in the Southlands and Lustria both, and they made (black) men and (black) halflings in both.I don't remember how Lustria and the Southlands were connected, but Lizardmen could move and communicate easily between the two. There is also some tunnel maybe dug by the Skaven maybe predating them where Sotek went from Lustria to the Southlands when it disappeared.At this point the lizardmen die off, and the Men+Halflings are left in the Southlands and Lustria, abandoned.The Men in Lustria remain unevolved tribes, the Halflings are the Pygmies.The Men in the Southlands migrate North, alongside the Haflings of the Southlands.No Halflings are left in the Southlands, they all migrate North with Men and while the humans become Old World Humans the Halflings occupy the Moot.I think treating the primitive Men/Halflings in the Southlands separately from those in Lustria is a mistake - at the time of their birth they both were in the clutches of the old ones that did all kinds of experimentation with them.
>>97783208I wish we had a more solid idea of how big these fucking things were.
>>97783189not at all: Games Workshop never planned a Warmaster range where Lizardmen were named "men turned Lizards".But they did plan a Warmaster range where Pygmies were named "Forest Halflings".And we're not talking about "the Men of the Empire" naming them "Forest Halflings". We're talking about Games Workshop publishing a book where the Pygmies are named Halflings.Now of course we can argue that Chaos Giants are not Giants at all, that Daemon Princes are not Daemons at all, that Hair Squigs are not Squigs at all, it's just a convenient in-universe name....but really, if there is no other indication of the contrary, saying "they're not related" is a wild conjecture, and saying "they are related" is the straightforward conclusion.
>>97783308They look to be a bit bigger than the ironjawz cabbage monster base is wide.
>>97783246>Wood Elves in Cathayworldroots>Lizardmen in the Dragon Islesportals and were all around the world before the continents were separated>Dwarfs in the Mountains of Mournreached by foot>cave of the bearded skullsis explored in the latest lustrian supplement, it's not a settlement of dwarfs, it's a much more entertaining story of an old ones' laboratory >here's the most likely scenario:pygmies are aliens in lustriahalflings came from the southlands, like normal humansthere, much simpler
>>97783324somewhere between say like mega garg and Archaon?
>>97783341>>97779307
>>97783314>But they did plan a Warmaster range where Pygmies were named "Forest Halflings"because forest halfling is a name people attribute to pygmies, just like lizardmen are called lizardmen despite having no real connection to men.It's not difficult.Do you know that warhammer lemuria has a species called giant pygmies that ogres have connections to? do you think they're related to pygmies? to giant? or perhaps to the ogres? You can't tell, I can't tell, it's not something you can take for granted from a name.
>>97782331Nice job Thunder
>>97783371Okay so probably like.... 6ish 9ish inches tall. Maybe like up to archaon's weird cerberus mounts chins/boobs.Thanks anon
>>97783341Fucking ell dorghar is massive
>>97783453he canonically ate all the fatcasts.
>>97783465that's why he's so ugly
>>97783335>Lizardmen in the Dragon Islesportals and were all around the world before the continents were separatedwell there you go, this easily explains a connection between Lustria and the Southlands>pygmies are aliens in lustria - halflings came from the southlands, like normal humansnow, normal humans don't come from the Southlands, they were also present in Lustria alongside Pygmies, not just in the Southlands with the ancestors of the Halflings. You can read it in the excerpt I posted....or perhaps they lived with them "before the continents were separated", as you say.Humans, Pygmies, Halfling ancestors, all together in one merry landmass, all in the clutches of the Old Ones for their experiments.>but the Pygmies come from space, while the Halflings were experiments of the Old Onesactually, the Old Ones did not create any race from thin air: they took races they found and modified them - you can read that Drachenfels was a "man" before the Old Ones came, he was just very primitive.>so what?So your story is perfectly compatible with mine: the Pygmies crash landed in Lustria, and they also get experimented on by the Old Ones (this is in the excerpt I posted).Roughly at the same time the Halfling race is born. They live in the jungles of the Southlands (an assumption of yours, it just says they live "South" and I believe they mean Lustria too).Jump to the modern age of Warhammer and the Imperials see the Pygmies as "black halflings", one of them with "copper skin" runs away to the Moot and nobody can tell him apart anymore.
>>97783453He's cheating by adding the lenght of is tail to his height
>>97783549That's not even showing his stupidly giant wings.
If James truly reboots AoS, I will be more than happy to explore the new planet and its lore. I hated this whole "realms" thingy. It sounds like a bad dream of a schizo.
>>97783573This. I'm not evwn mad, no model squat, simplification of the setting and more possibilities to get more players.
>>97783573the funniest concept is fantasy players shit talking AOS then also buying the models.
>>97783573The new planet will just be the realms stitched together anon. Unless you specifically hated the realms because they weren't connected I doubt much will change for you. What didn't you like about them?
>>97783581Am I an autist? I have never once looked at the concept of the realms and thought they were overly complicated. I feel like we could know more in fact and should
>>97783377> it's not something you can take for granted from a name.Nothing in the far away past of scrapped Warhammer ideas can be "taken from granted".But it's a far call from saying that nothing at all can be theorized or inferred, that there is no connection, no allusion, no indication, no suggestion, they may have called them "Jungle Halflings" or "Jungle Gnomes" or "Jungle Kobolds" and our conclusions as readers would be exactly the same, that's untrue. They picked a name, they didn't confirm anything, but they did give a suggestion.It's also not just the name, they look alike.Pygmies look, to a man of the Empire who is very familiar with Halflings as "Black Halflings". This is not "nothing".>but it's not confirmedindeed, it's just a suggestion, but the clues are there.>they're not many and they're not bigbut they are there
>>97783592The whole idea of flat infinite realms just doesn't stick with me.
>>97783547>well there you go, this easily explains a connection between Lustria and the Southlandsno, it doesn't, the portals are the lizards', not the primitives', they didn't live together, they weren't walked around>they were also present in Lustria alongside Pygmiesthat's amazons>...or perhaps they lived with them "before the continents were separated"no, the continents were separated before the creation of men>So your story is perfectly compatible with mineand yet yours is groundless headcanon, and mine is occam's razor
>>97783573I agree, I never really got the realms. I understand the concept, but it's so low stakes that it's hard to care. Oh this city gets BTFO, well there's a 1000 other cities like it just within a lifetimes walking distance in each realm (and they are bigger than that so who even cares )
>>97783605Most of twwats are in the "i can't see an apple in my head" category of subhuman, so it's actually too hard for them to imagin 8 elemental planets
I’m not particularly bothered by it, but I am curious why halflings got brought up.
>Arch-Revenants, said to be Kurnothi, don't have the Kurnothi keyword>Belthanos, whose whole thing is leading Kurnothi in worship of Kurnoth, does not have the Priest keyword>Branchwyches aren't Forest Sentinels for the purposes of listbuildingSlightly annoying.
>>97783335>>97783547Can you retards fuck off and go have this autistic discussion the fantasy thread already?Here in /aosg/ we only discuss trve sigmarite erudite topics of great importance, like whether or not revenants are ghostly.
>>97783605Initially I thought it was a mess but realistically just seeing it as each realm basically just being "planet themed around wind of magic" it made more sense. Just having random portals scattered around made sense, I think GW just never particularly went in enough depth on any of this to have it really be easy to latch onto.
>>97783592>Unless you specifically hated the realms because they weren't connected I doubt much will change for youOver time they will get rid of the more out there AoS elements and just have it be the Old World post End Times but not destroyed just fucked up. Better for continuity and the brand as a whole
>>97783605The concept is not complicated but sincerely over ten years of setting you think James did a good work developing them? If the writers suck so much is time for a change.
>>97783617Why? All that functionally meant is that GW is, would, and could just pull another continent out their ass for a realm.
>>97783555>>97783341Fairer comparison would be just their main bodies
Is there a pdf for the DOT 4th edition battletome yet?
>>97783617>infiniteSigh, yeah I'm starting to understand GW.Not your fault anon. Anyway, I expect the new realm to still be flat for what it's worth.
>>97783637No that’s why I said we should know more about them. But I’m also the only person on the planet who actually read the entire realmgate wars books and I can’t say they did a bad job either desu. A much better job is required. One that giving a fuck about supplemental material for AoS would easily rectify. But that’s a form of business GW is no longer interested in everything has to be a campaign and or codex. A series of in character books like that one thondia book would help massively so would giving a fuck about Soulbound which if I’m not mistaken is the source of the first detailed actual map of the great parch
>>97783646Nope.
>>97783638I just don't like the idea. I'd be more open to a solar system with few planets connected with stargates than some kind of flat planes of existence.
>>97783629They're not ghosts but it's a form they consciously take. It must be like tree sap or something. The one Duardin friendly glade forms metal weapons from minerals they draw up from the ground beneath their feet
>>97783669Anon...
>>97783669
>>97783717No, it's NOT the same thing. STOP trying to sound smart.
>>97783627>Savage Orruks aren't grounded, originally, in racism. GW wouldn't be racist >Pygmies >Pygmies aren't racist, my favourite youtuber read the lore to me before bed >Pygmies are described as failed Halflings in WHF >Pygmies aren't racist, they're just jungle Halflings!
Ogre Kingdoms refresh reveal when?
>>97783695Oh boy I was just taking the piss I don't think another multihour spergout on this topic is needed.I think the conclusion from last time is that it's supposed to be some sort of plant flesh stuff but gw themselves can't keep it straight and has accidentally described it as ethereal on several occasions. Personally I think the treeflesh explanation is stupid and I prefer the ghostly one so that's what I'm going with even though it's probably wrong :)
Is the reason people like Cities of Sigmar simply because it's basically the Empire from Fantasy?
>>97783748We do have pictures of them unlike dorfs so soon enough
>>97783757If anything it's imperial guard>>97783758We had pics of one of the ogres even before the CoS stuff iirc. If I had to guess they'll probably get shown off at some reveal show somewhere in june or something.
>>97783758Where's the images? I wanna see the new models.
Oh she has a septum ring. That's cool.
>>97783767>Censor Dark Elves>Make them uglier>Nose ringsWhy? This is just gonna result in players using proxies like the Repentia for the Adeptus Sororitas.
>>97783757Ignoring imperial dwarfs and halfling, yeah. It's post 6th edition empire or imperial guard given the whole abuhuman - human but size difference thing
Cogforts are cool, i hope people make files for proxy ones cause i feel like the cities of sigmar look is kinda hard to remove when used in another faction
when they will split orruks and krules?
>>97783773>record breaking profits year on year>"Why don't GW listen to me? I'm the expert on what people want" (owns no models)Gee idk faggot
>>97783629oh mate, sorry. Remember that guy who posted the whole collage with excerpts about Barkflesh?https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/97457052/#q97464648That's me! I'm the same autist arguing that Jungle Halflings are Pygmies
>>97783788god bless you anon
>>97783788I remember, I'm the guy that replied lel.
>>97783620So let me get this straight: your "Occam's Razor" is"Games Workshop calls Pygmies Forest Halflings because of diegetic sociocultural reasons",while my "convoluted version" is that"Games Workshop calls Pygmies Forest Halflings because they're Halflings from the Forest"and any reasonable man would conclude that Black Halflings/Jungle Halflings/Forest Halflings are not Halflings at all.Not only that, one step further:thinking that Black Halflings/Jungle Halflings/Forest Halflings are Halflings is completely unthinkable, it is an impossibility, Games Workshop would not even suggest that remotely.When Games Workshop noted that the two races (who share a name) look alike it was to highlight a coincidence
>>97783628>>Belthanos, whose whole thing is leading Kurnothi in worship of Kurnoth, does not have the Priest keywordHow do prayers work exactly in sylvaneth? I think its through hymns iirc, but are they directed to any deity in particular? Maybe hes just too deep in the kurnothi sauce to be spreading the glory for anyone else?
Gross.
>>97783766Someone answer me?
Thoughts on the spearhead terrain?
The Comfort is 0/10 or 10/10 based on whether or not the interior is sculpted
>>97783905I dont wanna go through tga again but Ill do it later. Its not really a good silhouette though. >>97783910I personally like them. Yeah, they are L shaped ruins, but they still have charm to em.
>>97783910I'm a little annoyed that we seem to only ever get ruins and never complete structures.
>>97783910id rather they release the full 3rd terrain kit
>>97783928A bush would do wonders I suppose for spearhead terrain. Or even some corpse piles.
>>97783932
>>97783910>timber touching ground As a construction autist this is so annoying
>>97783920The tower top hws interior yesI wouldn't count on the tower itself though.
>>97783964Pathetic
>>97783975that's a cool cannon, what a pity that it's hidden in the tank
By the way, to absolutely nobody's surprise, boole is back after doing yet another dramatic farewell.Seems like models are probably safe as expected.Also new mancrushers?
>>97778970>>97778994What abject garbage, this is like playing with he-man figures at this point
>>97784010>
>>97779011>What are things that AoS does better than TOW?Attracting fucking retards with zero taste
>>97784000Boole is kind of like a horror of tzeentch, when he gets struck he splits into multiple peopleand now he's back together as one guy
>>97784027yes, it attracts them in droves.But then they just whine with a throwaway post and run away back to their inferior games
>>97784010Just say you don’t like warhammer
>>97784000So it's just going to be a fluff overhaul, not a crunch one.
>>97783766It's only the one and it's even vaguer than the cos ones but here you go
>>97780651mine literally came in the mail today. It's on a 120mm base, so if the other anons are right about the cogfort being on a 160 base which I think they are, it'll be too small to proxy. Which is fine, the plan was to kitbash this to make a KO themed cogfort anyway.

>>97781027>>97780970I'm hoping the chorfs get their not-train warmachine eventually so people can make a good themed HoH cogfort
>>97784000>Erratic, inconsistent posts with conflicting details>Boole's bullshitted in the past and walked back "definite" leaks beforeIt's just like other anon said.
>>97784070they've insisted no guns so all I can imagine is it's a barrel of booze or a barrel of food (?)Not sure what the orange things are, and it could be a maneater so maybe he's smoking a cigar or something.
>>97784070Sea theam
>>97782066>>B tier>GrenadiersStreltsy have lost...
>>97784070This is beyond potato camera wtf
>>97784127Hrmmm maybe it could be all fish themed. Previous maneaters had pirate shit, so maybe he's got like a tentacle and a few big ol' fish on him.
>>97781180>implying there'll be anything definitive about dead or not Leakers need to start putting question marks on everything because they don't know Games Workshop wishy washy style of leaving thins open so characters like Guilliman can return at any time.
>>97784027>t.retard with zero tasteLuckily they just come here to whine LMAO
>>97779852There shouldn't be a #1 poster boy. WHFB didn't have a single Space marine equivalent. Empire wasn't #1 the most popular faction.
+ finally faction terrain+ metaliths are cool- not a wacky magitek device
>>97784113hmm Leadbelchers all held their cannon with two hands, that's why they either held the torch with the help of a grot, they stuck the torch in their scalp or they held it in their mouth like a cigar.If they gave this guy a barrel like that and also gave him a big cigar it's too close to a leadbelcher
>>97784162tbf they did refresh high elves all the time so an argument can be made that they were the real poster boy for fb, but I dont care to argue for that. Chaos was equally as shilled as well.
>>97779011/40kg/ visiting here, AoS has made my knees weak and made me bow far more than ToW has ever done. I don't give a shit about some badly done historic fantasy human faction like Cathay. It's so safe that it's bland. But all over /40kg/ there was complaints that we got a head swap for Primaris while AoS got all that it got. AoS fucking won. Again.
>>97784165It's just a floating War Memorial
>>97784140It's intentionally blurred not to kick the hornet's nest too muchOr it's just a gw plant and this is the max they're comfortable sharing for generating hype without outright revealing stuff. Anyway all their CoS pics ended up being spot on.
i hear all this talk about what other factions want/need unit and modelwise, but lets talk about the only one that matters: seraphonpersonally i'd like to see the ark get a refresh and maybe we can get an infantry with a bit more range, but honestly having our flyers back would be nice, could do fun things for the refresh
>>97783910>looks simeltaneously boring and really annoying to paintif I get the new spearhead I will be doing the bare minimum to get those bits painted. The sculptors clearly had no idea how to make cities themed terrain that's interesting to look at. Dawners triumph looks really boring too
>>97784176Maybe we'll be lucky and they'll decide it's stupid getting rid of gunpowder because ogre's using giant fuckoff scrap cannons is the coolest shit.
>>97784178Didn't you guys get a bunch of guard stuff?
>>97784165considering it's a war memorial for the dead i can appreciate it's not overdesigned or has too much wacky shit going on with iti also like that it floats around the battlefield
>>97784183>SeraphonI wish we could nuke you all, obnoxious lizard-things...
>>97784177True, but that means there's multiple poster boys. Nobody hogging the #1 seat. In 40k, it's Space Marines getting the lion's share guaranteed. And I personally would prefer if AoS, ToW, or other GW games don't go the 40k direction of same faction on the cover each time. Maybe if we're lucky, there's a push for another faction or conflict without them but Space Marines are still guaranteed their equal attention cake.
>>97784165what effect could this have in the battlefield? seems just a monument to me.
>>97784070>>97784113That is clearly a Leadbelcher, how old is this image?
>>97784165how did they make the faction terrain look worse than one of the generic terrain pieces? The armor looks so boring.
>>97784191And a nice Tyranid and Ork models. But over in the other general the AoS models stole the show. There was that giant tower with cannons and all.
>>97784213got dropped around November of last year, and I would typically assume it's a leadbelcher but the guy leaking it basically said "Ogre's won't use guns anymore"
>>97784104But he literally said it's happening still. He never said anything about models being squatted in the initial leaks.
>>97783758>unlike dorfsI almost forgot, we do technically have a dorf picture!Though you can't see shit, this is supposed to be another droth.>>97784213Mid november
>>97784209>The pressure of maintaining a rock-solid defensive line is tough on the Steelhelms and Fusiliers that fight eye-to-eye with the enemy, but the sight of the Dawner’s Triumph – a sacred monument to the unnamed warriors that fought and died in Sigmar’s name – is enough to embolden even the most exhausted soldier. These floating memorials are dragged alongside Sigmarite armies in times of war, emboldening the Cities’ faithful to acts of zeal far above their normal means.Idk maybe get a bonus when contesting objectives or something
>>97784245i imagine it'll give a within/wholly within bonus to friendly CoS infantry, i imagine it can move around the battlefield based on the description and the way the model looks, so maybe similar to a manifestion that can move?
>>97784183When do we get a ranged unit wielding these?
>>97784189you know maybe they get rid of all gunpowder and start using "Spelltotems" that look like a tube and shoot "concentrated magic" (what a coincidence it looks like a cannon!)
>>97784000so leak was fake nice.
>>97784221>"Ogre's won't use guns anymore"Fucking why?
>>97784402They all became cavemen
>>97784402an older leak said that they all joined a Ted Kaczynski cult and they hate tech and cannons and they now love the unga and the bunga and the yabba dabba doo
>>97784402To make them more realistic and believable as a faction of seminomadic hunter-gatherers or whatever
>>97781607>I doubt they will return because certain progressives can't help but see africans when they look at savage orcsProgressives once again showing their true colors... imagine thinking that poorly of Savage Orcs.
>>97781607>>97784482But they will have to do something about Orruks at some point because being honest the state of the race right now compared to the other GW systems like Fantasy and 40k is pretty pathetic lol. I love Greenskinz but right now looking at Goblinos or 40k Orks makes them almost a joke.
>promo pics for Gallants has bare head options>would like all full helmets>look up Free Guild Cavalier instructions to see the knights that are already out>full helmeted options for all of the models in the unitDamn I’m probably gonna go after that Spearhead after all.
>>97784529Gallants MUST wear all helmets i refuse to use those horrible african heads
>>97784547I don't have a problem with the African heads, but I don't want regular ass women in my knight corp. Unless they're superhuman, they ain't fighting frontline in plate.
>>97784402No clue, none of this is really confirmed other than johnny leaksman stating as such. Supposedly we'll get crossbows as replacements but that's lame as fuck. (Unless maybe they're like those beartrap crossbows from the underworlds dude)
>>97780484She is going to eat you and wash down the meal with my cum.
>>97782825>>97783208SOUL
>>97784529We'll probably get enough heads to go full helmet. >>97780623 already shows a relatively extensive (and way better) alt build for the champion so should get a good amount of extra bits in the kit.
>>97784113One of the rumors is a (female) Maneater named Hero with a cannon arm, the picture is probably that.
>>97784748It was pretty weird, something along the lines of "their right half rebuilt into a warmachine". Like on the one hand we have ogres going full ooga booga and on the other hand we have a cyborg or some shit. Is this character supposed to be skrag 2.0 or something? How do you build a whole warmachine into your right half? Sounds like some 40k ork stuff.
>>97781684You have the media literacy of a pepperoni pizza laying face-down on the street.
>>97782813Give it blades and blood
>>97781027As far as I know, Cogforts have never been designed and built for mass production before (most, if not all, were unique designs), so this design of a super steam tank with spider legs could be introduced as the "mount" of some steampunk-themed hero they release in the future.
>>97781375>>97781391But those are some great edited designs; they almost look official.
Reminder.
>>97783767VileLore is mere mortals are entranced by their beauty. Septum piercings are the complete opposite
>>97784891ok fag
>>97783767As other people have said they're shit because they literally have nothing going for them. They're not sexy half naked elves nor are they badass looking armored executioners so all they ended up being is lame covered up DoK meant to appeal to those that find Witch Elves "problematic"
>>97785027i feel like this is the reason people are waiting for malekith/malerion and his elves to show up, because at least they might be able to hit the latter appealmorathi is still cute though i think her giant snake body is hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>97785027This. A massive appeal for DoK is the sexiness. You remove that and it's kind of pointless
>>97785027Why not add Monster girls? Or Snake beasts? Or blood golems? Or shadow mancers? If they are not willing to deliver the sexy elf cuties then at least work in other niches...
>the DoK look gross and ugly compared to the older versions of dark elves because with slaanesh imprisoned they lost their sexiness
Is there a reason I shouldn't do this? Because I'm really tempted to try make something like this.
>>97783910pretty cool but I hope they do another sprue in the same style so you can have a full AoS table that isn't just two pieces copy pasted
started work on infantry banners and shit again, they're not very pretty but i imagine it's fine enough for stinky ratshow much time do you guys tend to put into your banners?
>>97785212>take away the death sorcerer's scythe and give him a normal sword>take away the screaming skull smoke and replace it with normal smoke>remove the skulls and put normal clothes over themJust take the fucking bell off while your at it, since you clearly hate the death mage concept. Why even get the model when your going to remove every thematic element that makes it unique?
>>97785422I wasn't planning on using it as a mage
>>97784631thanks for the fetish art man...
>>97785397My army doesnt really have banners now that I think about it.
I am absurdly pleased with Eshin getting a refresh instead of the squatting I was expecting. I do miss their iconic punch daggers though. The new named hero looks cool as hell at least.>>97782825Hell yeah
>>97784586I easily can imagine and believe the average mortal realmer would easily kick the average peasants ass in WFB. Especially in Brettonia.
>>97785483AoS is Warhammer fantasy mad max so I would hope so. The bullshit they have to deal with on a daily basis is absurd even in the cities themselves
