>Now that we are confident that the setting is getting fuckedUntil GW themselves shoves The Last Realm into a WarCom article, I don't care
They say it in whispers, like it’s already happene like the axe has already fallen and we’re just waiting for the echo to reach us. The Boole rumors crawl through every thread and Discord like a slow rot, and I can’t shake the feeling that something I’ve spent years caring about is being quietly erased. Not with a grand End Times spectacle, not even with a dignified send off just… shelved. Squatted. Reduced to a footnote while the setting, the stories that once felt alive are left to gather dust in some forgotten corner. It’s a hollow kind of grief, the kind that doesn’t explode but lingers, because you don’t even know if you’re mourning something real yet.And that’s the worst part this limbo. Every new rumor feels like another nail, every bit of silence from official channels like confirmation. You start thinking about all the armies, all the paint, all the time sunk into something that might just stop mattering overnight. Not because it deserved to end, but because it was decided somewhere, by people who’ll never feel that loss the same way. Maybe it’ll all blow over, maybe it’s nothing but right now it feels like watching a world slowly blink out, and not being able to do a damn thing about it.
What a great start of a new thread lol
remember that this was all planned for a long time, probably even before TOW was released. Trust the plan
>>97791421>skrillex haircut>woman>black guyAoS was cooked for years
>>97791417>and then Boole came back two days later and said "What's up guys? Sick AoS reveals, right? I got a little worked up but it's not that bad actually."
>>97791419expect this to be the way things are until the Last World will be finally announced
>>97791398>Now that we are confident that the setting is getting fuckedDont care. between seasons of thondia getting its storyline canned and the whole ynnari thing getting cancelled in its introduction, gw is quick narratives than not. Setting up killing sigmar and invading azyr alone would take an entire two editions at least as well. In all likehood boole saw some rough draft of ""something"" that for all we know could have been a fecs delusion. >how do you feel about the future of AoS?I play da spearhead
>>97791438quick to can narratives than not*
>>97791419expect this to be the way things are until tow trannies kill themselves from smelling their axe wound.
>>97791385The only ones I've seen have been twinks. Need one that's jacked
>>97791398>TQHonestly, it just feels like watching a house burn down while someone waves glossy renders of “cool new stuff” in your face. Yeah, the models look incredible, probably some of the best they’ve ever made, but it’s hard to care when the setting they’re supposed to belong to feels like it’s getting gutted or rewritten into something unrecognizable. Without a world that actually has weight and continuity, they’re just expensive display pieces instead of part of something alive, and while the future of AoS will probably be “successful” in that churn out hype and product sense, creatively it feels bleak, like depth is being traded for spectacle, and you’re just expected to clap while something you liked gets slowly dismantled and repackaged.
>>97791398Fine. Continents rather than "realms" is fine.Also I don't like Sigmar so happy to see that cocksucker due.Age of Morathi is here now
>>97791453https://manufaktura.co/products/sub-series-29b-1?_pos=9&_fid=62f815914&_ss=c
>>97791460Will she survive Malerion return?
Hey, link to the episodes of the Sigmar Toll and Adepta Sororitas: Penitent series?
I'm thrilled I picked a City that's probably going to be worshipping Taal instead of that dead ass Sigmar
>>97791469Malerion is probably not coming back with the DE going back to TOW, considering he is their main faction leader.
do something about orruks already, gw, and fuck kruleboyz.
>>97791475You are an heretic anon, go talk to your local Witch Hunter to recieve the appropriate punishment.
I just realized you could probably proxy the cogfort as a fragment of the crimson keep for kastelai. Dont have much ideas on how to get started on that though.
>>97791421>SigmaronCome on.You people can't be serious, right?
>>97791549Sugmadick
Why did they give her such a fat ass?
>>97791553What, does Sigmar drive around in his Sigmobile? Does he sleep on a Sigmattress? Does he have a special stormhost dedicated to grooming his Sigmustache? Does he eat his waffles with Sigmaple syrup? Sigmellow out, little Sigman.
Sigmar lied. Sigmar died.
>>97791398>how do you feel about the future of AoS?Pretty good since I know that setting isn't getting end times'd and it's all just delusions of people who want something to doom about
>>97791398>TQI can't understand why anyone thinks GW is about to take AoS out back and put it down. Take 5 seconds to really think about it. Which do you think is more likely>Sigmar from Age of Sigmar is going to die>GW is going to shitcan it's second most popular IP to soup it with a currently struggling IP that already diedor>GW higher ups got sick of all their shit getting leaked and ruining their marketing and made up some retarded rumors so they could find and plug the leak, a fairly common business practice
>>97791639Yeah, and they got all 3 credible leakers at once and 2 less credible leakers all with the same rumor. Dummy.
>>97791464Based. Literally me.>>97791469Yes. She has been around long enough and is an integral part of the lore. If anything, Malerion will be part of her range.
>>97791398>TQCould care less what GW does with the setting. If I fucking wanted to I could have an AOS game set in the old world out of spite.
Why do people think Malerion is coming to AoS? We have no Umbraneth rumors. Morathi will not be replaced, especially now that DE are going back to TOW.
>>97791665>We have no Umbraneth rumorsWe have a rumor about pretty much the entire elf pantheon getting featured soon next edition, and with slaanesh coming out of the closet soon, it’s slated to be elf heavy just as 4th was dwarf heavy.
Is there a story in lore about a CoS crusade where the starting city they set out from becomes overrun while they’re out and about? I’m planning on getting the new CoS Spearhead when I can and am brainstorming ideas for /mydudes/.
>>97791639So just to be clear, you think GW intentionally let "the game is going to be blown up and all the worldbuilding and story to this point drastically altered if not essentially pitched out" into the fanbase through reliable rumor mongers, knowing the rumor would sit there for months causing consternation and depressing fans?Why would they do that? If they wanted to catch the leaker why not a rumor like, "Bonesplitterz refresh!"
>>97791694I think the dawn bringers crusade had a story or two like that. I don’t remember much of it though.
>>97791695>why not a rumor like, "Bonesplitterz refreshHe is unaware.
>>97791695> knowing the rumor would sit there for months causing consternation and depressing fans?no, because you have to be fucking retarded to think they're going to take they're second most successful IP and chuck it into the trash. WHFB failed for a reason and TOW is barely moving along despite all the initial hype Cathay had. It would be financial suicide to make this kind of change and if nothing else, investors wouldn't be happy with GW rocking the boat where they really don't need to. If you want to spend months crying because you geniunely think they're going to kill Sigmar and end the series go ahead. I'm not a therapist I can't solve your irrational fears
>>97791398wasn't expecting a female gargant other than the long-rumored matriarch to show up first but more girls that can kill me is always good
>>97791860TGA hugbox faggot revealed
>>97791860I wish I could see you on the day of the official announcement. At least film yourself burning your army.
so we're just going to use this clear ToWTranny bait thread? its not even AoS art in the OP.
>>97791549>>97791585Mock SCE if you wish to but they are not even the worst offender in their own setting, not to mention Warhammer in general. >Blood Warriors>Bloodreavers>Bloodcrushers>Bloodthirsters>Bloodletters>Bloodmaster>Bloodstroker>Bloodsecrator>Blood Throne>Valkia the bloody >Space Wolves>Canis Wolfborn>Harald Deathwolf>Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf>Wolf Guard>Wolf Priest>Wolf Scouts>Wulfen>Lone wolf>Cyberwolves>StormwolfThese are not even all the units and I didn't even bother with listing all the formations, abilities, locations etc.
>>97791861>wasn't expecting a female gargant other than the long-rumored matriarch to show up firstHonestly, same. >>97791874We’re gonna see em regardless whether we like it or not. Just ignore them.
>>97791861i curse GW for enabling giantess fetishiststhe actual model looks like a crackhead inbred from the deepest pits of appalachia
>>97791639>disinformation drop that torpedoes faith in your product's longevity and causes strife, wailing, depression and arguments in the already-dying community>a fairly common business practicelol you're too stupid for this realm. You need to portal back to your birthplace on Rytardan, Plane of Disability."Second most popular IP" is, bluntly, weasel words from a faggot. When you start talking about IPs people assume you're talking about licensing opportunities and 3rd party stuff. Fucking Blood Bowl, Necromunda and Mordheim are more popular licenses than AoS.AoS is their 2nd most popular GAME, not IP. And it fucking well better be, given that it's their second most expensive game, as well. It gets the most investment dumped into it and if it *wasn't* the 2nd most popular game it would be an unmitigated disaster.Also none of the rumours even said it would be "shitcanned" that's more of your self-soothing faggot talk. Just deal with reality like a man. AoS will still be around but things are going to be changing.
>>97791897>looks like a crackhead inbred from the deepest pits of appalachiai know, i've seen people at a LGS too
>>97791899nta but what metric are you using that makes you say that mordheim is a more popular license/IP than AoS? word of mouth? how many sales it made over time? cultural impact?i adore mordheim and all the weird ass rules and flavor but AoS absolutely clears in terms of people knowing what it is
>>97791926it got one game so he's thinking that makes it more popular somehow, remember, this is a total war secondary
>>97791926It has one (1) moderately well-received videogame, which is all it really takes.I think it probably has a better reputation and more cultural impact. I don't know if "how many people know what it is" is much of a metric. If you walk into a LGS and see a standee you officially know what AoS is (a warhammer game) but is that actually anything?I think if you polled all players of tabletop games other than AoS or Mordheim, Mordheim would come out with more favourability.
>>97791939Are you the one guy in here who always does this, and only this? Seeing the entire outer dark as a single TWW secondary coming to personally attack YOU and accusing anyone making criticisms of being part of that collective TWW cosmic foe?If it is you, I already shut your virgin ass up months ago during one of your Post Models!! beggar crash out.
>>97791926I disagree with that anon's specifics but agree with his sentiment. Actual players and gamers really like the AoS game and models, but I've yet to meet a fan of the setting as a whole (more than just a fan of a couple factions). I can see GW overhauling the lore and branding of the game, but keeping all the bits most people really like (the actual game and models themselves).
>>97791958well based on >It has one (1) moderately well-received videogame, which is all it really takes.seems he was right.
>>97791958no this is my first time using the thread since like last week
>>97791948i'm going to have to disagree with your assessment; if we're saying that mordheim has more of a cultural impact because of a somewhat successful game (and yeah if we're just using that metric then AoS is at the bottom, because who the fuck remembers realms of ruin) but if we're talking general popularity, which includes the general audience and population, then by simple logic the warhammer property that still has games, books, and shows that you can go and buy right now automatically make it more popular and well known>If you walk into a LGS and see a standee you officially know what AoS is (a warhammer game) but is that actually anything?yes, a random dude walking into a shop seeing the funny golden man who knows nothing else about warhammer aside from space marines will at least learn more about age of sigmar than he would about mordheim, because you can't find mordheim shit at shops (unless it's secondhand and by some miracle the seller didn't just put it on ebay for an insane amount of money)>>97791961this i can understand but the combativeness on the semantics of IP/property was a bit weird to me, which is why i was wondering what the hell he was talking about. i will say as someone who's talked to other people about AoS and who were interested in playing spearhead and underworlds, it was pretty hard for a few of them to easily understand the mortal realms and how they work because by definition they are very esoteric and strange (i also never really cared for realmspheres personally but that's also just GW never giving a shit about anything other than aqshy and ghyran) so if the big change of 5th edition or whatever is making the mortal realms into one cohesive celestial body then i'm more or less fine with it
>>97791899How long until all this CoS stuff actually releases ya think?
>>97791984Me: Are you that fag from months ago?You: No, this is my first time here in a week.Sigmar is not sending his best. You sound like you need a factory reforge buddy.
>>97792005well CLEARLY i have no fucking idea who you're even talking about so that should prove im not the same dude
>>97792010What AoS armies do you have, and what non-AoS Games Workshop games are you also into?
>>97792015seraphon, stormcast, skaven, orruks (kruleboyz) i liek killteam too
>>97792016nice, do you run a specific skaven subfaction/clan
>>97792024gonna do skyre, the skaven army is admittedly still WIP, only started it with 4th, was waiting on those refreshesmight buy the new eshin too, ngl
>>97792029skryre is a lot of fun, jezzails are kinda nuts for picking off heroes this edition with their abilityi was thinking of getting eshin as well, the gutter runners in particular look fantastic and the runners have super weird movement rules
>>97792037i would get them to go with my underworlds warband, too. i have all the skaven ones
>>97791958How ironic that the TWW secondary crashes out about his imaginary boogeyman seeing "all the based TWW secondaries" as a single person, while doing that exact same thing to some random anon calling him on his bullshit.Truly, r/totalwar is not sending their best.
>>97792039ah nice! i actually got into underworlds fairly recently but i really like the system (and you can tell the designers had a ton of fun designing the models, big fan of all the weird animals and lil guys that usually show up in the warbands too)
>>97791398>Now that we are confident that the setting is getting fucked>NowPeople that question creditability of Boole's group leaks are so funny to me because 99% of those leaks were on point and everyone was happy and clapping like crazy but when they leaked something that upsets the reddit normie part of the playerbase, the crowd suddenly wants to see their heads on a spike. The amount of cope in this thread alone is simply hilarious.
>>97792059ngl im kind of addicted to them, i buy them anyitme i see a deal on them, so i have the tzeentch warband, the ghost woman nighthaunt one, the DoK one (which is the only not embarrassing models that range has) and the old fatcast one because i got one of the first box sets for cheap which is how i got the ghosts (it was like 20 dollars)
>>97791861>mfw I buy a cute gate gargant a drink (8 kegs, financially ruining me) and she gives me a cheeky handy behind the stormkeep that puts me in a wheelchair for several weeks
I can feel it. They're coming, anons!
>>97792078I do hope that one rumor about the beastmen was just for kurnothi, but hey who knows what that was about
How does a typical (inner) cities of sigmar list look like?
What edition had the best Path to Glory rules? I want to start an escalation campaign with one other player.
>>97791398Why do you keep posting the badly cropped version with random white sidebars?
What should I get>Guard BattleforcePros: new vehicles, dorn is always good, guardsmen is even betterCons: Coming soonest, least likely to afford by release, I only really want the vehicles>Spearhead 2Pros: Has an army I play and an army I like, terrain is always goodCons: It's AoS, games are less likely to happen at my LGS>11th edPros: Edition Starters are always goated, can split with a palCons: Spehss muhreens aren't my primary army
does anyone else ever get sad while working on their army? like you realize its all this effort that doesnt really get you much of anything, and you dont have anyone to *really* share it with
>>97792142Sounds like you need friends
>>97792134In the order of priority >guard>spearhead >11th Personally I don’t really like guard, but all vehicles should be fun to paint, and youll probably actually get that painted Spearhead I would rate higher if I knew if its limited or not but idk so just leaving it here for now As for 11th…well it might be fun for the first three months but you already know you can probably get the orcs cheaper on eBay or something.
>>97792143>Sounds like you need friendsbro you have no idea...
>>97792142Sometimes, but I've taught my son to play wargames with me. Haven't taught him how to play AOS though.
>>97792142No. I play with mates regularly.
>>97792142I’m a selfish dude so I kinda like to keep my hobbying for myself. Gayming though is different.
>>97792169You can easily play with yourself
>>97792176
>>97792176There's something really sad about solo wargaming.
These new DoK rules look FUN
>>97792196I haven’t looked at them, I do like sylvaneths though.
>>97792142A bit, yeah. I often feel a need to express myself in a crafty or artistic way and my gf is a very slow hobbyist so I end up with multiple small projects done in the meantime but they end up collecting dust in most cases. That's why I decided to write my own ruleset. This way, when the urge appears, I simply sit down and think about new rules, fluff etc.
>>97792176>play with yourself
>cultural impactJesus christ shut the fuck up
Greenskins having red blood feels wrong
>>97791398if gw didn't suck they would have made a 1:1 model of this and it would have saved AoS
>>97792202Rather than blood rites being"Each turn get a new buff"It's now do a thing to unlock a buff, but you choose from a list so you can make it suit missions/who you're playing against. They still stack so it's like before you get better as the game progresses.Also you choose a non unique hero to be annnointed. When they die, another hero becomes annnointed and gets their special rules, if they die the next one gets them etc. so it feels like a bunch of non unique heroes is a great idea.
Kino novels (unless you're a racist piece of shit)
>>97792142Yes but not for those reasons. It's mostly sadness from me being bad and how my poor abilities are doing a disservice to the incredible work the sculptors and modelers have done before me.
>>97792063I don't see why people are mad anyway, s1 age of sigmar had totally different maps and lore from s4.Also isn't it kind of crazy that S4 came out 2 years ago? Time sure flies.
>>97791398>OPI say let’s go. Sure, realm lore becomes obsolete, but that’s about it? Models stick around, all lore up til now still happened but get relegated to something like the Age of Myth, and all factions probably get some changes in their lore to reflect the new situation they find themselves in.The maps we have stay, just put together into one world.The only thing that, for some people, might be worth being mad about is named characters dying.And even then I think it’s gonna be stormie foot heroes who might be goners.The god models will get the C’tan treatment in various ways (Nagash model is gonna be aspect/avatar of Nagash etc) to remove the actual gods from the playable setting.The elves will lose godhood as they no longer have their own realms to be connected to, and instead just being ”the most powerful warriors/mages of their faction.That’s it. There will be different text in your lorebooks, but not written as replacement but as continuation/evolution of the current story. While I do like the traffic in the thread as a result of the rumors, I don’t see how anyone can be worried even a little?
>>97791881>even in AoS, people rag on the space wolvesDecalfag can't can't a break huh
>>97791665ironically the anvilgard plotline and the last heir to anvilgard is one of the only compelling things I've seen from AoS and it's entirely by accident since anvilgard only existed as a holding pen for old dark elf models.
>>97791899ironically by giving knights/cogforts to age of sigmar, they did the reverse of what I would have wanted for Knights in 40k.
>>97792287This. It's a pill hard to swallow for some people that got stuck in their echo chamber but The Last World seems to address most of the critique AoS received as a setting in the last 10 years. My only worry and complaint is that I don't want AoS to become even more grimderp. For me, 2e reached the limit of grimdarkness I want to see in AoS. I really liked how hopeful 1e setting was. Man, Realmgate Was was such a great series, we peaked too early.Sigmar getting killed like a bitch serves no one as well. They should have cripple him and left him bound to his throne but sane and alive to make a distinctive setting difference between 40k and AoS to show how things could be if your god is still able to communicate, make decisions and doesn't turn into some 5D hyper-daemon.
>>97791665Malerion has been hinted since the very start, there was that art of him with a dragon body
>>97792310What are you talking about?
>>97792313It also doesn't make sense from a marketing perspective, you'd have newcomers seeing 'age of sigmar', asking who that is and being told 'oh he's dead, don't worry about it'
>>97792266Huh, it does sound fun. I’d at least like to play against it.
>>97792323I'm note sure what Boole means by having Sigmar killed in a more enraging way than Sanguinius since I'm not up to date with Siege of Terra books. Is there any opening for having Sigmar around as an avatar or a spirit or something?
>>97792321Knights in 40k should have Bondsmen like they do in their codex, the cities of sigmar infantry fulfill the role of the bondsmen to the towering Cogforts, which are similar to Knights.
>>97792313they should rip off Invincible and have sigmar's son Sigvincible become Emperor Sigmar.
>>97792323Tbf, “Age of:” did always imply that there was a potential for another age beyond sigmar, at least to me. Just as there was an age of myth, and an age of chaos. It’s why I fucking loathe the title of last world, I’d genuinely take one of the copyrightable names over it. The games name is still going to be age of: ??? But who fucking knows what it’s going to be.
>>97792288fuck off back to your containment general
>>97792349Age of Grungi/Morrda/Khorgos
>>97792346They already did it in 42k
>leak Skaventide DOESN'T COUNT!>leak Darkwater + Maggotkin DOESN'T COUNT!>leak Adepticon reveals DOESN'T COUNT!
>>97792364boole has only been right 100% of the time so farhe could be wrong any time now and we know whitefang could suddenly be wrong too
>>97792364Yeah and?He said lore is changing. That doesn't massively affect the game itself.
>>97792364>>97792368go finish your tww campaign
>>97792364Nigga Skaventide was leaked by a compleatly different guy
>>97791549Of all the shitty names in aos you could have rightfully shit on you pick Sigmaron?
>>97792344Sounds like they did what you'd have wanted, not a revers of it
>>97791474Warhammertv.com
>>97791665>We have no Umbraneth rumors>Still rather just have Malerion. I feel all this croneseer stuff is just kicking the ulgurothi/umbraneth can further down the road in favour of more witch elves.>It's opposite (whitefang)>Got any of them Malerion Dok soup rumors? XD>soon (reformation) granted this stuff is all very vague still so I'm thinking mid 5th edition at best
>>97792376Noz boole dropped the images of the packaging and corebook. That's why maggotkin was believed>>97792372Yes, he said the rules and models would stay iirc but he is totally lying about the fluff guys! He's only been right so far
>>97792372>Leaks are fake>Leaks are not correct>Leaks are not fake nor incorrect but they only affect the loreWhy not accepting that they are both true and correct instead of moving the goalpost? It's happening and that's okay - there is nothing anyone can do about it. Just learn to live in the new reality, that's it.
>>97792405>4 Chan is le one person
>>97792405just because he had a few lucky guesses doesn't mean he should be believed gw could also change their mind at any point of production
>>97792353Newfag.
>The setting will never be the same after THE NECROQUAKE >The setting will never be the same after VERMINDOOM>The setting will never be the same after BATTLE WORLDI'm just surprised it took 12 years to do anything
>>97792275Good to know. Been getting into Soulblight and debating on coping these. What did you like about the books?
>>97792407Yes it is.>>97792408>Just because all the leaks provided by the group are correct doesn't mean we should assume this one is correct as wellHoly cope.>gw could also change their mind at any point of productionThe production pipeline is 2 years and TLW is most likely scheduled to happen next year with the new edition. Will you be around to admit you were wrong when I post the screencap in 15 months?
>>97792411Necro quake did actually mess with the setting between unearthing the storm vaults, and introducing endless spells. Era of the beast kinda…well. It just proved that alarielle is kind of a bimbo idiot. Vermindoom has just been fucking everyone over so far.
>>97792404No he didn't, and there was quite a bit of discussion about boole's credibility when he started posting again. Iirc he posted the contents of the skaventide half (rat ogres, clanrats, ...) after another leaker already confirmed it was skaven, and got them mostly right but I do remember there being one mistake + most people were guessing similar things anyway. What was more interesting was that he got the exact amount of miniatures in the box right (74 I think). People weren't really trusting him much when he came back until whirefang started corroborating him + of course gw kind of acknowledged him is real by doing the damage control quadruple rumour engine soon after.
>>97792419Anon buddy you're replying to a shitpost. He's poking fun at the people who don't believe the rumours.
>>97792391Link to download the episodes please
>>97792460>Anon buddy you're replying to a shitpost.In the age of AI, chatbots and dead Internet, I assume everyone is sharing their unfiltered opinion no matter how stupid or unrealistic it feels. I do not acknowledge the existence of baiting, trolling or ironical shitposting anymore. You act like a retard, you are being treated like a retard - simple as.
>>97792411This.It's literally a nothing burger.The realms won't exist and will be merged into The Last World. How will this realistically affect the game? It won't.How will it affect the lore? Instead of taking a realm gate they take a boat.I don't get all the retarded freakin out. Unless you're super enamoured by the idea of the realms, not that big a deal
>>97792343>Is there any opening for having Sigmar around as an avatar or a spirit or something?He's a god, Gods die all the time and come back later, especially in Fantasy. I wouldn't even be surprised if GW rolls out a Sigmar model in a few more editions.
>>97792456Who leaked picrel? Shut up newfag retard
>>97792489It's a high time they do something with Celestant-Prime. He had almost no impact on the setting. Despite being set up to be a big shit, GW in their incompetence turned him into a big nothingburger.
>Dark Elves are literally all gone from the store front besides these twoLooks like they're getting cut from cities fully now and finally going to old world
>>97792456>but I do remember there being one mistakepost it
>>97792479>we get end times'd but it doesn't count because it just doesn't mmkay?
>>97792502Thanks
>>97792502Here's hoping Old World gets new witch elves, ones not sculpted by cowards.
>>97792502I hope they keep the assassin or at least make a new model for it
>>97792508Please remind me why End Times mattered? Was it because GW changed the lore or was it because they scrapped a whole game system and replaced it with a brand new one?What happens to AoS and TLW is more on par with Gathering Storm at the end of 40k 7e are than End Times.
>>97792275Skinblight BraidlordsRead an adult's book btw
>>97792500i only started playing after 4e so i dont know but this guy has no credibility just because he got one thing right and he said ogors would be revealed too
>>97792517Both happened.They also removed a ton of kits from sale.>but they'll still be playable!Fantasy armies had legends rules to play them, for free in AoS, since day 1.
>>97792529>Fantasy armies had legends rulesso they weren't playable. got it.
>>97792516They have a pseudo assassin as part of the command squad anyway.
>>97792533>literally playable, with tomb kings being OP until some point in 2nd edition Bruh.
>>97792529>Both happened.... and according to Boole, will both happen with TLW? No, only the former, not the latter. So that's Gathering Storm aka big-fucking-nothing with a scheduled edition rotation.
>>97792517At the time The End Times was peak rules design and narrative, people just didn't expect it to conclude the whole system. TLW will probably just be a shakeup narratively but I hope it does change more about army composition/faction backstory and such, if AoS has become stale WHF regurgitated shit with Duardin soup, human only CoS, Dark Elves, etc Give me Order Deathrattle Give me Destruction Beastmen Give me Chaos Ogors
>>97792533They were though. What makes you think legends are not playable?
>>97792533Everyone had play test rules at launch, all but TK and Brets got real rules over the first year.
>>97792343Meaning like a nasty sadistic Game of Thrones death that plays up the suffering of the hero and the futility of them fighting, and makes you stew in the depravity of the killer. Archaon will probably beat him up and toy with him then slowly strangle him or whatever.vs. what a child like Boole would prefer, which is a heroic back and forth slapfight, where at the end the hero only dies because they throw themselves in front of the baddy's weapon to save an innocent child who stumbled through the battlefield
>>97792543>world, nuked>kits, squattedWe are unsure of the rules changes as of yet.
>>97792408is this ragebait, lmao"He just guessed the exact name of the Skaven assassin, it was simply luck guys"
>>97792537It's not the same, I like when they jump out of units
>>97792553Boole didn't say anything would be squatted, the opposite even
>>97792558I could've guessed the backstory for the anvilgard guy
>>97792560>80% of what is will be gone
boole said there would be like seven cogforts but we only have two he said uw would die but it got more stuffdont trust rumoursloppa
>>97792569what are you quoting now
>>97792564So guess five specific things about the Ogor Fagtribes release and we'll grade you after they're revealed.Do not steal any of your 5 things from the already rock-solid rumours.
>>97792500Probably not boole, who only made his tga account in april 2024 while this stuff was leaked in march? Retard.
>>97792564Is he just a chud incel?>ugh, I had to live under the tyranny of staring at bouncy elven ass all day, at lamia crotch, and wasn't allowed to join the military? This whole society is bullshit, we must kill all elf womenLike, imagine living surrounded by naked elf chicks and hating it to the point you can't even go to the arena to see them kill chaos worshippers you have to make hating that your entire personality.
For me, it seems easy to pivot away from the last world bullshit without abandoning it completely. The biggest motivation for this seems to be that AOS doesn't have as much of a 'Hard map' so nothing ever matters. (I disagree massively with this point, it's all made up, it only matters if you choose to become invested. Fictional factions will always have more troops, more territory, and more cash until the story demands that they don't)Their best option is to utilise the Eight Points, I would continue the narrative of breaking into Azyr as it's been developing for a while now. Obviously chaos and orcs and whoever else can go into Azyr and start causing problems for Sigmar. Maybe as his big plan to stop the invasion he wants to disrupt the supply lines, and he achieves this via a massive impact or something that terraforms the eight points. Make it bigger, maybe even have the eight major portals 'leak' some influence into the eight points so you still get the whole realm thing without being set in that realm. Then have an event where all factions are scrambling to establish themselves in the new eightpoints and finish that with an official map.Boom, you've got a fixed map that can be used as a setting for future vidya games etc. It still keeps the setting mostly intact and keeps the realms for more focussed campaigns
I started a UK copyright claim this week for "The Last World," and today it cleared the first stage of the process (meaning there are no pending conflicts). So GW better think up a better name, the silly bastards.
>>97792588We already have 7 "exact maps". According to boole these will be unchanged.
Mosscairn will be the starter set
>>97792588>It still keeps the setting mostly intact and keeps the realms for more focussed campaignsWhat are "focussed campaigns," and be very detailed, including why they are different from what could occur on a battleworld.
>>97792602Was Pissbramble already taken?
>>97792585I mean they do drag unwilling sacrifices to their altars and carve out their hearts but as long as you simply avoid that living in a city of elves dressed like whores does sound pretty comfy
>>97792598The funny thing is that there are basically are no other AoS maps anyways. So the new, streamlined AoS will use...the exact same maps we've been using all along. Oh no, not the unutilized space that GW never took advantage of in any way....nooo, the loss...
>>97792613yes :(
>>97792508>you're getting END TIMES'D why are you not MAD you're supposed to be MADidk man it just doesn't sound like that big of a deal to me.
We lost AoSissies. TOW chads won. What gives?
>>97792622gotta post slop because TOW got nothing
>>97792605Meant more themed campaigns based on the realms themselves. I guess you could still do these in the battleworld. But to me the idea of the removing the realms and going to battleworld is to go to a lower fantasy with less prevalence of realm magic
>>97792618they might expand the maps we do have a bit to make them lock together, essentially creating just the borders between, say, the realm of beast and the realm of life, they would be good locations for campaigns of expansion>inb4 it's just the gnarlwood again
>>97792631>inb4 it's just the gnarlwood again
>>97791939I think it had multiple games not just the one
>>97792624We got dark elves back. They'd better get a kickass battalion, not just a mirror of the high elf battalion. Though to be fair, getting 60 dark elf warriors would be hilarious. >>97792614So you live in prehispanic mesoamerica? They mostly do that with captured enemy soldiers. Maybe they'll do the king thing where the captive is pampered and lives in luxury then chooses the next one before he's sacrificed. I'm also sure they'd drag away any guy that spouts things like "independence" and "male voting rights".
>>97791939I love how AoS had:>MOBA>rts>physical card game>bunch of mobile kusogesAnd they all flopped and died.
>>97792640There is only one Mordheim video game I've ever played or heard of. And it's a buggy abandoned mess anyway. Has it's charm, but I'm not sure I'd even call it good.
>>97792641To be frank, we don't know if we get them back. We have nothing but rumors at this point. They may be gone because of new CoS miniatures are about to be released; DE were just a filler for them. I keep my fingers crossed tho'.
>>97792631>realm of life in the middle, trying to grow outwards>realm of beast in the east, gnawing at it>realm of fire in the north, burning it>realm of death in the south, killing it>realm of metal in the west, toxic to it
>>97792647yeah, it's funny how you need games to be good for them not to flop
>>97792023btw the slaanesh pity hero is a slaangor
>>97792654>realm of metal>It's perpetually the 1980s
>>97792631Border zones where two realms interact could be fun. Right now we kind of have that for ulgu and hysh only and it's very limited.>>97792650I gotta imagine they would, especially with that leaked book. I don't know how popular dark elves were/are in whfb but there seems to be a decent demand for them. All the moulds are right there, just a matter of firing them up and reboxing the ones they already have. The hard part was done like 20 yesrs ago it's easy money at this point.
>>97792655Not really, look at Pokémon.
>>97792631>can't be called borderlands because tow uses it>will be called realmedges, meaning they will keep being magical hazards
>>97792665Name a game that has done the Pokemon formula better than Pokemon. If you say Palworld I'll know you're a drooling retard
>>97792668Or just call them borderlands because that's what they are. No one owns the concept of "lands in the border".
>>97792558He also said Cankerborn are trolls.Which means he sees boxes (which has names of named characters writen on them)
>>97792665At this point Pokémon isn't selling games but digital collectibles and designs for furries and lolicons.You know it to be the truth.
>>97792671He's mentioned fluff and rules quite a few times, so he must have access to the books as well
>>97792671exactlyhe is wrong
>not a single post with models or gamesAnd I thought /wfg/ was bad...
>>97792679Supposedly there's different people using the same account though that might just be a smokescreen.
>>97792686/wfg/ is spamming here, that's why it's bad
>>97792669For the glory of Morathi:>SMT>DQ Monster>Digimon TS>Telefang>Yokai Watch (was actually beating pokemon but level 5 is retarded)>Fossil Fighters In the same overall genre of "mon" games you have:>Monter Rancher>Digimon World>Medarot>Princess Maker (reminds me a lot of Monster Rancher actually)As better raising games.
>>97792693How many of those have any form of compfag scene like Smogon/VGC?Never heard of anyone playing Digimon or SmT as a PvP game nad that's the main lifeblood of pokemon online content now
>>97792647Its extremely funny how mobile game companies are just NOW learning to port their mobile games and gachas on steam now to get any visibility. It took chrono trigger to go from google play to pc somewhere between 3-5 years. >card gamegws tried it with 40k, even tried it with fantasy at least once, I think twice even, but gw will never get into the card board market. They will just never understand it. Also looking at the old model for the moba game im starting to hate what the old skeletons looked like.
>>97792686Here's some trees.
Morathisisters...Is that who I think it is?
>>97792700can't read shit
>>97792669Well the Pokemon TCG sucks ass and is mostly a game attached to a pack gamble system. I play it to give myself some brainlet time when I want to take a break from YGO and Duel Masters.>>97792662>especially with that leaked book?>All the moulds are right there, just a matter of firing them up and reboxing the ones they already have. The hard part was done like 20 yesrs ago it's easy money at this point.This was NEVER a valid argument for GW. Where are the Bonesplitterz/Savage Orcs now?
>>97792696>competitive paper rock scissors but there's a cat wrestler every timeNo, why would you want to see some guy's buffed to the 9s Moh Shuvu tear your team apart? But Cyber Sleuth did have online play, which was about as balanced as the game was fun. It wasn't its my point.
>>97792708>Where are the Bonesplitterz/Savage Orcs now?In the great green beyond
>>97792708The sundering one>savage orcsSubfaction nobody really cares about, dark elves are a whole faction on their own.
>>97792708>Duel MastersThat shit was great, shame they decided us western interiors were unworthy of it.
>>97792700nice screenshot for ants
>>97792710Half the big pokemon youtubers are now tournamen grinders doing videos about which pokemon are good an why.That's the main appeal of pokemon and the main thing keeping it going betwene releases.GF knows this because all the LCs they make are jsut compfag powercreep that you have to buy to compeat
>>97792722Yeah, and the games suck as a result. When the focus isn't on playing the damn game and instead it's on whatever the fuck SV was, you get the absolute state of things.
>>97792706>>97792719You're supposed to just look at the image for my epic joke man
>>97792730Point is, none of the pokemon "competition" does the main thign people care about pokemon today, sosaying digimon being a better zoophilia sim, is irrelevant when people want PvP dog fights
>>97792711I hope they appear in the end times narrative like killing a godbeast before the end
>>97792693You know its genuinely sad how pretty much everything on this list is mostly a dying ip. Well not digimon, its honestly nice seeing it get some decent games every now and then. mainline smt however is just fucked no matter where it goes. For some it peaked with strange journey(before the remake) or apocalypse (just for its gameplay, though I personally did like how they made Indian jesus a fucking bad guy), the rest isnt even really worth mentioning. anyways, age of sigmar.
>Belthanos bowed before Alarielle. As he did so, he felt a shiver of predatory instinct – a sensation that deeply unnerved him.>She is weakened. Her strength ebbs, as if she has been run to ground. Were she my quarry, I would seldom find a better time to strike. The very idea was blasphemous, and he chastised himself for it.>‘My Everqueen,’ he said, laying his spear at the foot of the Jade Throne as ritual demanded. ‘You summoned me from the Great Hunt, and I come as bidden. How may I serve the?’>Alarielle met his gaze, and he knew at once she had sensed his furtive thoughts. She stretched to her full height, and though her sweeping, verdant wings had the tinge of autumn's red hue about them, they still looked supple and strong. In her stern expression he intuited her unspoken words.>My power may be diminished, the gesture said, but I could still crush you like an ant.>Belthanos knelt, making his supplication clear. He was a creature born of Kurnoth's warlike essence, but Alarielle was the very heartbeat of Ghyran. He would sooner perish in the utmost agony than offer her offence in her own court.>‘First Thorn,’ she said, and her voice rasped like leaves scraping across the trunk of an ironoak. ‘The season turns, and my enemies gather. I have sacrificed much these past days, and my strength will not swiftly recover. As my power wanes, so does that of your master wax higher. He must awaken, Belthanos. Whatever it takes. Even if we must throw the very passing of the seasons into disarray. Bring Kurnoth to me.’>Belthanos stood and smiled an eager wolf's smile, taking up his glaive and cutting the tip across his palm to release a trickling amber ooze.>‘Your will be done, my Everqueen. Upon branch and stem I swear it.’
>>97792741Is this from the battletome?
>>97792647>physical card gametbf that not unique to AoS, GW has tried multiple CCGs for Warhammer fantasy and 40k, and they all flopped hard, so blaming the fall of the card game on AoS isn't fairpic being from one of the forgotten WF ones
>>97792747Yah
>>97792749I'm not sure it counts, since those Fantasy card games were, like doomseeker, sealed product. As in, a deckbuilder boardgame such as Netrunner instead of the AoS one with booster packs.
>>97792737Is dragon quest a dead Ip? I thought they were doing alright for themselves. I love dragon quest 9 as a kid.Anyway yeah warhammer. So about those skeletons, I thought the underworlds guys were a really good rendition, especially the champion. I do like the new deathrattle but I understand the criticism that they're a bit too elite, makes them very similar to the barrow guard. I think a more lightly armoured basic skeleton design could've been a better choice.
>>97792754Invasion and original Warcry were CCg wern't they?GW even had an entire subsidiary in America created for making these games called Sabertooth GamesWarcry even got a PSP adaptation
>>97792698>gws tried it with 40k, even tried it with fantasy at least once, I think twice even, but gw will never get into the card board market. They will just never understand it. Wrong take. There is a world of difference between LCGs and TCGs. Warhammer LCGs were a huge success and have a cult built around them even today. LCG model is simply not as much of a cash cow as TCGs. Age of Sigmar Champions TCG was extremely fun but like the game it was based on - LightSeekers - it was both too different from your traditional TCGs to bait the average player and not advertised enough to make more daring players even know such a game exists. I have no idea what was the contract between PlayFusion and GW but the financial support for the game was NOT there for sure.It didn't help it was a digital game first and foremost so the moment PlayFusion announced they want to errata some of the existing paper cards to balance them for digital play as well, the game was pretty much dead since physical TCG players absolutely hate erratas - see the backlash WotC received when they errated the absolutely hated Companions ability.On the other hand you have quite successful digital-only Horus Heresy Legions that launched 7 years ago and Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge that was killed like a bitch after two years by the same devs.As you can see, GW's romance with card games is not exclusively miserable but it is true their projects die mostly because of the mismanagement.
>>97792647That's the reason they try to reboot the franchise imo. Most people don't care about the setting because it's bad and has lazy lore. In the long run it will bite GW in the ass, even if the tabletop game has good sales currently (if it does, I don't know).>>97792749People tend to buy even mediocre games if they like the setting. Warhammer 40000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters - was a FDev game, therefore shit - and people still bought it. Realms of Ruin (again FDev game), on the other hand, was in AoS setting.
>HARVESTBOON>One of the youngest and most fecund of all the Sylvaneth glades, Harvestboon represents the great potential and vibrant future of the forest folk. These are bold and fierce warriors, children of spring who fear no tragedy. This wild enthusiasm often sees them at odds with more stolid glades such as the Ironbark, who name them upstart seedlings and decry their recklessness. Yet they have their admirers also: Oakenbrow regards them with a sort of wistful pride, seeing much of their own early bravado in Harvestboon's feats. It cannot be denied that the glade has the favour of Alarielle, and their ever-growing list of victories commands a measure of respect even amongst their fiercest critics.>The Willowqueen is the high liege of Harvestboon, a being of surpassing grace who is known for possessing the most melodic and bewitching voice of any Sylvaneth. Fair yet fearsome in war, the Willowqueen resides within the reclaimed palace of Harothal, which nestles in the pearlescent shell of a living titanspite. From here she wages a war not merely of defence but of aggressive revanchism, urging her beloved subjects to strike back against the daemon and the despoiler.>‘We know that the wyldwoods will not be saved without sacrifice. Yet I fear we ask too much of these young saplings, who have never known anything but war. What memories will they return to the soil, when they fall in battle?’ — The Willowqueen of the Harvestboon
Are trees immortal? i don't even mean the walking one, just normal
>>97792781Nothing is immortal. Everything dies sooner or later.
>>97792784I mean biologically immortal, not indestructible. Obviously a tree can't survive a nuke
>>97792781This guy's frogquiver is insanely soul. At least someone working on gw still got it.(Or at least when this warband came out)
>>97792787Nothing is biologically immortal. Some trees can live for centuries, but then they die like every organic being.
>>97792787>>97792781DNA degraders overtime universally. Still, clonal trees are pretty much colonies and play around this rule so we know about some rooting systems as old as 80k years.
>>97792794My main issue is that it's the outsied of the frog that's poisonous
>>97792781Eehhh, sometimes it's hard to define what A tree is>Pando (from Latin pando 'I spread') is the name of a quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) clone located in Sevier County, Utah, United States, in the Fishlake National Forest. A male clonal organism, Pando has an estimated 47,000 stems (ramets) that appear to be individual trees but are genetically identical parts of a single tree connected by a root system that spans 42.8 ha (106 acres). As a multi-stem tree, Pando is the world's largest tree by measures of weight, landmass and species>Since the early 2000s, little information has been adequately corroborated about Pando's origins and how its genetic integrity has been sustained over a long period of time, conservatively between 9,000 and 16,000 years old-by the latest (2024) estimate.
>>97792809>Welwitschia is well known for its unique morphology. The plant has only two leaves that grow out of a large woody stem, known as a crown, and continue to grow throughout the plant's life. Welwitschia is one of the longest-living plants on Earth, with some individuals being thousands of years old. Because of the long lifespan the leaves can become quite large, often reaching several meters in length.
>>97792809Heard about that one. Weird shit. And yet it's Lumineth that ended up with Clone magic
>>97792813>Methuselah is a 4,857-year-old Great Basin bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) tree growing high in the White Mountains of Inyo County in eastern California. It is recognized as the non-clonal tree with the greatest confirmed age in the world. Its old age is a result of harsh weather and a lack of nutrients, which slow down the decaying process
>>97792809Man, trees and fungi are kino. Imagine if lithoid organisms existed.
>>97792815High Elves always get the best stuff; it was always so from the beginning.
>>97792104Shameless selfbump.
>>97792815They worship Alarielle so it's cool
>>97792104>>97792822Current one has the Anvil stuff, so i'd go with that
>>97792741>female elf hits the wall>male ent's instinct is to dispose of herehe
Blood hag sprues are out for those interested. Apparently you actually get 0 options, even for headswaps you'll have to fiddle away a bit yourself. Very lame. Also apparently pretty annoying to build.
>>97792839Weird that the champion doesn't have a head swap at least
>>97792839People will buy this and I hate it.
>>97792844not only people will buy it, they'll tell you that it'll be okay when the cauldron and witches kits disappear because you still have these still
>>97792700>MALERION, THE SHADOW KING>There can be few more complicated familial relationships than that of Malerion, the shadowy master of Ulgu, and his mother Morathi. These two beings existed before the Mortal Realms came to be, having ruled their own great aelven civilisation in the forgotten days of the World-that-Was. They have pivoted between mortal enemies and tentative allies a hundred times in their long history, each wounding the other more times than they can remember. It was Malerion who granted his mother the island domain of Hagg Nar when they were reunited during the Age of Myth. As to why he would give Morathi such a formidable source of magical power is known only to the Shadow King.And in the Krethusa section:>Rumours swirl as to the nature of Morathi and Krethusa's entente. Some whisper that the Croneseer is aiding the goddess in her shadow intrigues against Malerion, whilst others insist that Krethusa seeks other fragments of divinity that might have spilled from the Dark Prince's gullet, as that of Morai-Heg is said to have done.
>>97792839Well now I dont like it. I was hoping it had options, even bits at least. The heads at least could have been useful but...ahhh man.
>>97792741Please just keep the furries to a minimum.
>>97792849>mother>morath
>>97792861Isaac's mom is anmed Magdalene O. Moriah (M o M)
>look ugly as shit>literally monopose without even the option to make warriors instead of commandAnd I still don't know how they have a shooting attack.
>>97792870They scream like that one Batman character
>>97792870They have a shooting attack? I thought the shuriken were just decorative
>>97792874Wtf, i didn't even notice they have throwing stars
>>97792874So that's how. Yeah, it's a 10" ki'raich or whatever. Same range as the shadowstalker crossbows.Which means the anon saying they're more like Morathi's handmaidens instead of executioners was right and I was wrong.
>Tree lord AOR>you gotta take lady of vines>then its just your elders Neat!>heavily dependent on wyld woodsOh no! oh well at least it sounds fun to respawn treelords, and maybe swarm the board with the woods.
>>97792874Still think they should have gone overboard with covering them and added veils and capes
>>97792887I dont disagree with you
>>97792886Surely every Sylvanthe player has his Wyldwoods reay after all those years of GW forcing them?
>win my first game of this tournament by turn 2 without losing a single modelUHHHHH
>>97792904>Anon to his opponent
>>97792904What list did you have and what did your opponent bring to the table?
>>97792905I got T1 charged by cavalry and a cavalry hero, daemon prince popped his fights first and killed 2/3 models of the cavalry, and my chaos warriors just tanked all attacks from the hero then killed himproceeded to be my turn where I killed his other unit of cavalry so all he had left was a wizard and an artillery piece, and I was up to 5 points for another daemon prince already

>>97792874What's the consensus, anyway. Do people believe they will replace witch elves - or still think primaris will not replace firstb...
>>97792935They'll probably replace them if Witch Elves don't get a new kit for Old World.Not soon, but maybe around 5th edition.
>>97791564>Why did they give her such a fat ass?Because they know the AAVE-infested public will eat that up more than a pair of heavy breasts.
>The swamp-beast was an ugly and brutish thing, but it was cannier than most of the monsters that the Shadow Queen had slain. Rearing up and nearly emptying the grot-filled howdah chained to its back, the sloggoth seized her in its strong grip, slimy fingers scrabbling for her throat.>The Shadow-Queen hissed in fury, and the serpents that writhed and coiled about her headdress snapped forwards, sinking venom-dripping fangs into her attacker's face. Immediately the sloggoth's sunken brow began to swell, capillaries bursting like blossoming purple flowers beneath its skin. It howled and released its grip, and she bared her teeth in a bitter smile.>Hearsrender plunged right through the sloggoth's belly, coming out the other side and skewering a wriggling grot drummer.>Two more grots fumbled free of the dying beast she twisted her great spear and pushed the body into the mire. They tried to flee into the cover of the nearest mangrove tangle, but the Shadow Queen was too fast. She killed one with a lash of her tail-sting and swept the other up in her coils.>‘Where is your god?’ she screamed, rage boiling in her veins. ‘Where is Kragnos? Must I kill all of your wretched kind before he will face me again?’>She felt the grot's bones splinter and saw the life spool out of its beady eyes. She kept squeezing until the corpse burst like a wet fruit. The Shadow Queen sighed and tried to cool her temper.>The next one I will keep alive, she told herself, knowing that it was probably a lie.
>>97792839Blightkings are the same, I think
>>97792941>Must I kill all of your wretched kind before he will face me againSomeone remind me how Morathi interacted with Kragnos and why she would be pissed with him? I’m guessing Kragnos is still contesting a saurus gangbang
>>97792968The Shadow Queen wrestled with him during the battle of Excelsis and it didn't go great for her. She's been nursing a grudge for years since.
>>97792968>>97792974He spieked her cortisol by framemoggin her
>Duardin and Aelves out of CitiesGnomes in! Gnomes confirmed!
>>97792929This like 750 points or something then?
>>97792952Blightkings are awfully monopose too but at least have one (1) alternate head and one (1) extra weapon. These hags don't even have that.
>>97792981I doubt it, AoS barely has Halfings
>>97792998Halflings are racist against the Irish historic (Halflings) and modern (Jungle Halflings)
>>97792981I wish. Their WHRP fluff as natural grey mages could easily be adapted to fit them into CoS as the bespoke Ulgu wizard models.
>>97792904did a 2k game earlier and won 52 to 28. i feel bad about it.
>>97793011>I thought you were stronger.
Do we have CoS players itt? How do you feel about all the new stuff?And for the rest of you, has this new wave gotten you interested?Personally my biggest gripe was steelhelms looking as shit as they do, but now that they have some more options for infantry I might be tempted to make a small 1000 point army or something. Shame about the gallants though, they're alright but I feel like they could've been much better.
>>97793028I don't collect cities of sigmar, but I like how the roster is now more well-rounded. Not interested in buying the monsters or the comforts. But I think it's neat that all of them have this theme of a walking fortress. It's a cool concept. I also like how retarded the female giant looks like.
>>97793028The size of those bases are getting comically big. I mean - is that a tabletob game still or toys for children with fat fingers? Or terrain is passe nowadays?
>>97793028You forgot about knights tho'.
>>97793044I don't like miniatures getting bigger over time, but one advantage the larger bases have is that they protect the paint on the models, because models are further away from each other when they're transported and thus dont bump into each other.
>>97793044i dont think the castle is on any bigger a base than shit we've already had in the game since its launch
>>97793044>The size of those bases are getting comically bigArachnarok was released 15 years ago buddy.
>>97793044I’d personally prefer it if Aos had its own warmaster . 10mm is underrated but it’s not as capturing for most. At least it’s in a skirmish format, it’s more functional in that manner for tables.
>>97793068Nah, you guys enjoy your zoids on zoids battles.
>>97793068warmasters shit, its fun to paint for like 5 seconds but there's so little fidelity it gets really unfulfilling really quickly and the games are boring as fuck
>>97793082Agree to disagree. If it cures your heart I’ll just say legions imperialis instead…although ideally with some actual variety instead.
>>97793066And James would rather burn the factory to the ground than produce a new Spiderfang model.
>>97793028I’m getting the vs spearhead and I’ll be happy to modify the gallants and lightly touch the gallants, but beyond that I probably won’t mess with cities. Actually wait no, that’s a lie, I do plan on getting the previous city spearhead just because I like the hunters, but I’m going to paint the death mage and zom too.
>>97793044That minis in that image are not to scale if that wasn't obvious
>>97793101Lightly touch on the grenadeirs*
>>97792935not anytime soon, if the old fantasy kits have to go away from the shadow elves faction it won't be before 3 or 6 years still
>>97793093What do you mean anon, they're getting a manifestation later in the edition :)
>>97792935That’s like expecting squig hoppers to leave because of gitmob
>>97793122I think a more appropriate comparison would be spider riders leaving because of gitmob, which honestly seemed to be the case for a while at least
>>97793122That's like expecting Blightkings to be refreshed - they're from 8th edition! That's like expecting Ork Boyz to be refreshed - they're from 2021!
>>97793132Honestly I’m surprised (pleasantly, mind you) that they still stuck around. Would have guessed they would leave with bone splitters but I guess that would make the reason for their removal a bit too transparent.
>>97793145Same here I thought at least the basic rider kit would be gone when the tome dropped.
>>97792935They're obviously meant to be an elite infantry choice, Witch Elves are a separate thing.
>>97793028I'm interested in slapping the griffin gallant on the Griffin I got fearing it would be OOP in 3rd, I guess it'll be a proxy Tahlia or ideally a custom hero in a RoR (because I want to run Gryph Hounds and kitbash leftover Cogfort bits for variant artillery like a flamethrower on a cannon base) Gargants and Wildercorp 2.0 are pretty meh, it's just too homogenous at this point I think
Since GW is quietly killing TOW, will we get beastmen back?
>>97793028I have a small cities army already, which I'll probably add to with some of the smaller stuff. Not in a hurry to buy the big models though, they look great, I just know from experience what a pain in the ass centerpiece models are to build, store, transport etc.
>>97793154Boole said yes actually, together with Cathy (under new name) and un-announxed Nipple they're going to AoS
>>97793161Can't wait for the big nipple army reveal, personally.
>>97793165Female gargants confirmed
>>97793142
>>97793093B-but the rumour engine...
>>977931841292 days 3.5 years
>>97793184>>97793187Was never a spiderfang model
>>97793154the consolewar shitflinging is equally childlike and embarrassing when "we" do it anon>>97793161he said !notcathay etc, which means at best it's some chinese inspired human units. I really don't think cathay is getting ported over wholesale
So, you think one box of Blood Hags will be enough or should I buy two?
>>97793154I think beastmen are possible when gw is done with other chaos factions and has a moment to stop and design the gavespawn reinvention
>>97793220you're going to end up with two sets of exact clones unless you're willing to bust out the clippers and greenstuff.
>>97793220I would hunt for the underworlds bands instead of getting a second box
>>97793215>he said !notcathay etc, which means at best it's some chinese inspired human units. I really don't think cathay is getting ported over wholesaleI don't really believe this part of the rumor, but I believe GW cranking out knock-off Brett and Cathay armies for AoS even less. At best I can see GW creating lore/rules for some TOW armies to be played in AoS without making entire new model ranges for them. With Cathay especially, making a brand new model range of a brand new model range beggars belief.
>>97793142>That's like expecting Blightkings to be refreshed - they're from 8th editionSpiritually, it’s still there. They just stretched out its design between two units, the rot swords and the titular blightnkings. >but anon the mutations Wouldn’t surprise me if that’s what maggotkin get with endless spells in 5th, A unit of mutated chaos warriors, although the cheap out answer is that they already got mutated units with pestigors and their weird pouches. Anyways, even when the witch elves do happen to get pulled from the range, itll be when Daughters of Khaines identity becomes realized. When that happens I expect at least two, maybe 3 depending if they really care about the schisims that are present in the lore, to at least bare a resemblance to what gets pulled. Though as fucked as it sounds, Daughters probably won’t be realized until khaine comes into their fold. >orks I don’t really pay attention to 40k much but that’s a kit that’s been primed to go since those molds were finalized. A better comparison would be back to Aos and the wight on steed, and even that’s still understandable because it was so that the it could adhere to the asthetics of the new skeletons. The bigger question there is why the fuck didn’t the foot wight king go? The blasted bastard even already has artwork of a potential model for him in the sbgl book. There’s still othar the half fucking king too which I still haven’t been able to find even when I went a dozen game stores across the state while on errands.
>>97793230It's honestly by far the weirdest part of the rumour to me too, which is funny considering the nature of the rest of those posts. But yeah it's weird, maybe this is like a nurgle troggoth situation and it's him making assumptions based on looks idk.
>>97793225>>97793229Yeah, I just found that the only thing that's optional is standard/shuriken for one model. I ordered just one box. Can't do even head swaps without greenstuff.
>>97793230Gw is dead set on separating the settings, so no. What I can see is gw completely failing to understand what people wanted from cites and rather than putting non-humans in there, they put humans in certain factions to display order co-operation. Lumineth gets the Chinese, either sylvaneth or cities get the Bret’s, and Japan (I’m not fucking saying it’s gw slave name) is probably going to a rendition of whatever daughters of khaine ends up when malerion comes home. Or maybe they just do a really fucked up version of dogs of war when they enable allies and mix them all there.
>>97793230>I don't really believe this part of the rumorme neither, I think he saw something like pic related: unknown symbols on a map, maybe a fancy artwork of a weird inhabitant of the world, and drew the wrong conclusions of those being different future factions instead of examples of human cities.
>>97793230Ditto. GW even banned HH drednoughts in 40k for crying out loud. 40k and HH are the same setting, same factions, same bases - just different times - and James STILL keeps them separate. AoS and TOW will stay apart - and that's a GOOD thing.
>>97793262>Gw is dead set on separating the settingsCurrently, that is true. It may not always be true, though, it wouldn't be the first time GW turned on a dime before launching into some random new retarded direction. Also saying that Nippon is a slave name is weird, that's literally just what Japan is called in it's native language
>>97793262>gw slave nameNippon is the Japanese name of Japan you idiot.
I said it before but I think the amethyst mage would work better if his bell was slightllllly smaller. Picrel is 85% for example.
>>97793284I disagree, it stops reading as a bell if it's too small
>>97793273OTOH, Custodes shares models across the two games. Exceptions can exist when making two versions of the exact same thing is too stupid to contemplate.
>>97792773>Fair yet fearsome in war, the Willowqueen resides within the reclaimed palace of Harothal, which nestles in the pearlescent shell of a living titanspite.Please just give me more sylvaneth and spites, stop with the furry aelves.
>>97793290>Custodes shares models across the two gamesnot for long
>>97793290>Exceptions can exist when making two versions of the exact same thing is too stupid to contemplatearen't they remaking chaos warriors for tow for some reason
>>97793290>when making two versions of the exact same thing is too stupid to contemplateENTERS
Anyone happens to have Ushoran epub?
>>97793278>>97793282It’s the formal way of saying Japan, doesn’t mean it’s the way to say it. There is Nihon, which is more loose, which would have been a better label. Also Nippon just sounds fucking awful when most English speakers try and attempt to say it.
>>97793306HH was made as an excuse to pump out slightly different space marine models, that's their bread and butter. Custodes is different because it's a hyper-specific small model range of new (at the time) models that they have no particular reason to change between settings. If Chaos Warriors are the Marines of Fantasy (They pretty much are) than Cathay would be the Custodes. Though again, I'm not saying it's definitely happening. I'm just saying that in the specific case of Cathay, sharing models makes way more sense than creating a separate spin-off range of a new army that just released five minutes ago.
>>97793290Custodes are exceptions BECAUSE GW is trying to force female custodes on us. When it comes to ideology, there's no barrier a woke corporat will not cross to shove that ideology down your throat.
>>97793317cathay has reason to change between settings
>>97793319Anon, Custodes were shared models for a thousand years before female custodes were even an idea, you retard.
>>97793319I’d rather Chinese ideology not be forced down my throat thank you~ Anyways zonn is such a shit character, I don’t get why he’s forcing this division between humans and the lumineth in hysh.
>>97793321Does it though? There's literally no existing lore for Cathay in AoS, so there's no particular reason they need to change anything. More importantly, you have to consider the timelines. For Not-Cathay to be a rumored (imminent) release for AoS as a separate model line, you would need to believe that GW has done most if not all of the work in creating this AoS specific Chinese spin-off BEFORE IT WAS EVEN RELEASED FOR TOW. It requires you to believe that work on AoS Not-China the army was underway at least three years ago, if not longer.
>>97793330You do realise that James changed the lore of custodes way before release of new models, right? And there was a time when HH models could be used in 40k. KYS, tranny.
>Warcry gets a coop supplement complete with new models Fuck, this would be perfect for Warcry
>>97793330NTA but no. ADB was on Reddit in 2016 claiming that his push for female Custodes was only been temporarily denied because the models were already been made, and GW only started separating the settings like two editions later.
>>97793317>HH was made as an excuse to pump out slightly different space marine models, that's their bread and butter. HH Pods are 40k pods but reboxed buddy.
>>97793347>For Not-Cathay to be a rumored (imminent)But we don’t know that. We don’t even know what the end of campaign stuff will look like. Literally all our rumors are battletome related and the only thing not related to that was skaven which was shown off already. I think there are rumors of Khul fucking a city in aqshy over but I don’t think that even matters when he’s just a part of a realm wide city extermination handler.
>>97793154Most likely we'll get khorngors, since currently they're the only chaos subfaction without their beastmen sidekicks.
>>97793356Yeah I mean I would hope so>>97793379Isn't khorne also supposed to get khul at some point
>>97793347>Does it though?yes
>>97793386I've absolutely no idea to be honest.
>>97793317>Custodes is differentDrop pods were the same exact model in 40k and HH, and then 40k got a new model but HH kept the old one. >>97793386>Isn't khorne also supposed to get khul at some pointI would be surprised if he doesn't.
>>97793306I still can't get over the fact that 40k players will pay real money for this ugly triangle that should just a couple optional rules. I guess when it comes to space marines, there's nothing they won't pay for.>>97793308you don't want it. Book is about 15% from his perspective and it's not particularly interesting and 85% from the perspective of a boring idiotic leader from one of the human cities. The writer just portrays Ushoran as a really nice leader while having to trip overhimself to make the human leader fuck up so Ushoran doesn't just lose. GW's writing of any of the antagonistic races is almost always dissapointing. You can tell they give the writers a minimum word count for how much of the book has to be from the big bad's perspective and the writer will make sure they never go over.
>>97793220didn't they just squat the doomfire warlocks? You probably need them just to have an army of something besides snake ladies and witch elves. It's tragic cities gets all those new units while DoK get's next to nothing and loses as much as they get
>>97793421You know Warhammer is about models before it’s about the game right?
>>97792524>skinblight braidlordsgotta remember that one, kek
>>97793436Not according to competitive players
>>97793436I'm pretty sure the rules are the only reason people buy the stupid triangles. No one's buying these things because they'll make a nice display piece
>>97792940Ass > breasts
>>97793453Competitive players are delusional.
>>97793471Most consumers don't touch the game tbhon but GW are aligned to these guys rather than not
>>97793454>I'm pretty sure the rules are the only reason people buy the stupid trianglesDrop Pods are almost always not worth it. Yet, I don't know a single Marines player that doesn't have one, myself included. They make great diorama pieces and are simply fun.
>>97793481>GW are aligned to these guys rather than notIn what way? By not having a balanced edition since... forever? Warhammer always sucked as a competitive game. Even in its very core the rules make it impossible for 40k or Fantasy to be a proper competitive game either due to LoS rules, imbalance between factions, activation rules etc.
>>97793490Models are basically no option monopose more than not?
>>97793453>not according to a fraction of the consumer baseGet a load of Mr Big Think over here.
won the 750pt tournament, was a basic scoring system (1/2/more than opponent) and maxxed out 15 points every game (5 turns a game, 3 games) by fun overallmy knights of iron once again proving their mettle
>>97793500and a closup of my leader, Ogvold One-Eyenote: no I didn't rank up the chaos warriors ingame, thats cheating
>>97793503>forgets image
>>97793490Yesterday there was a big discussion in the chatgroup of my club about how shit the 40k tables have been compared to literally every other game, because they are just an hodgepodge of L shape ruins. The one complainings where mostly competitive players, who also hoped for GW to fix that in 11th edition. Keep in mind that these people refuse to play with GW guidelines for terrain and instead only want to play with WTC tables because otherwise the game is not balanced enough. (Pic related).
>>97793500Cool, but when will you paint them?
>>97793516Why are they like that?
>>97793516>Keep in mind that these people refuse to play with GW guidelines for terrain and instead only want to play with WTC tablesThese people are retarded
>>97793524...but they are painted.(aside from bases)
I know it literally just got previewed but any idea when cos is supposed to arrive?
>>97793093>>97793066>spiders in AoS have laughably terrible rules and are clearly on life support>the arachnarok in TOW is so comically overpointed that it feels like a printing error that they just refuse to fixwhat is james' problem
>>97793494>Models are basically no option monopose more than not?Elaborate please because I still see no point in your argument.
>>97793534Sorry my bad. When will you paint the bases though?
>>97793535In two weeks
>>97793550i'm lazy so idki'd also want them as snow bases, due to the region they live in which requires more effort
>>97793527See >>97793528Competitive players are simply too retarded to understand that they are the cause of every single one of their problems. The only happy competitive player is the one alone in a club where they can never play with another competitive player but instead enjoy seal clubbing. But their behaviour inevitably makes their own activity worse and less enjoyable. They are a cancer that kill their host, only to look around and ask themselves why there is only cancer around.
>>97792275If you buy this you have no self respect or respect for the hobby.
>>97792839TOW CHADS stay winning with multiple head swaps and weapon options for every new kit
>>97793622so far*
>>97791408>TQDon't care about the rules or setting gettin' krumped (I only play 1st/2nd edition and write my own fluff), but the prospect of new kitbash fodder has me so excited that I might throw up.
>>97792839If they are monopose with no options whatsoever then there is no justification for them being spliced into this many pieces for assembly.
>>97791398>Now that we are confident that the setting is getting fuckedAoS had a setting?
>>97793622>Cheering for scrapsHow far we've fallen.
>>97793750Not for long
>>97792839Strange.The latest OBR kits had build options
>>97793537James has arachnophobia
>>97793622The new cathay gunners are pure monopose too, but there it's even worse as you get 4 identical sprues of two gunners to build your unit of 8.In other words, if you get two units of blood hags you will get effectively 2 sets of 10 unique models. If you get two units of the cathayan crane gunners, you will have 8 (!) sets of 2 unique models. Same story for the shotgun build, but with 3 models per sprue instead of 2.
>Kurnoth is the god of the hunt>primarily associated with a stag motif>stags are grazing herbivores, not huntersWhat an incongruous deity.
>>97793906Anon it might surprise you but very few animals are less associated with hunting than stags.
>>97793958And by that I mean that very few animals are more associated with hunting than stags.
>THE HAMADRITHIL>‘Though it is inhabited by no few Sylvaneth whose sapblood has been soured by hate, the true nature of the Hamadrithil is known only to Alarielle and its most feared inhabitant : my sister Drycha. It is a rift obscured by writhing shadows and surrounded by an aura of unspeakable malice. To stand close to the Hamadrithil's entrance is to feel the sensation of a fell presence straining at the leash – a presence that vibrates with insatiable hunger. Alarielle herself has journeyed into its depths more than once, though she has never divulged to me of what lies at its heart.>There are whispers, of course. Some insist that within the rift a godbeast is sealed: a chitinous leviathan that can project its will through trillions of insects. Others say that the Hamadrithil is a forbidden and isolated forest to which the Everqueen sends those magical beasts too monstrous to be allowed to run free. Some radical voices even wander whether the Hamadrithil is connected to that hellish realm inhabited by the Dark Gods and their spawn, although it would surely be insanity for Alarielle to venture into such a portal if that were the case. The truth may never be known, for my mother keeps the rift's location a fiercely guarded secret.’

>>97793976>@Gork, are deer considered predators?
>>97793906Deer are hunted, but in the sense of Kurnothi it's a subversion; that nature strikes back. It's why Orion had horns, that
>PILLARS OF STRENGTH AND WISDOM>‘The elder tree-spirits are my mother's greatest and most selfless champions. Without them, the forest havens would all have burned long ago. Think of noble High King Rhalaeth, older than the mountains and just as unyielding, or the Willowqueen of Harvestboon, whose beautiful song has oft brought the Everqueen to tears. Chivalrous Nundáth of the Golden Leaf still resist in enemy-held Invidia against all odds, while the Rime-Maiden and her Silent Court represent the defiance of gladeless Winterleaf.>Yet not all of my kin are so valorous. Some are so wounded by the horrors that have befallen our people that they seek any chance for violent revenge: Pale Oak, the Bane of Greywater, who would see all humans drowned and buried beneath the soil if given the chance; Ithil-Spond, the foul-tempered Grum-King; and the cursed Exile of Blacktree, said to be the only creature besides Drycha herself to have been seeded in the forbidden chasm of the Hamadrithil. It is a sad truth that none of the forest kin have survived the horrors of these past centuries without scars, and the Lords of Branch and Bough are no exception.’

Is it just me, or is the TGA site full of troons? A lot of the posters act like angry troons when you say maybe the last world could be decent
>>97792508>>97792517>>97792529>>97792533end times doesn;'t matter because TOW exists and if GW kills aos in 5 years they'll make age of sigmar 2 for nu-hipster gen A kids who decided that Age of Sigmar was actually peak because their 1980s-born millennial dads saw it and panned it.
>>97794141This isn't popular to say but my theory is a lot of troons like age of sigmar because it 'transed' warhammer fantasy and hate TOW because it is a 'deadname' as retarded as all of that sounds.

>>97794208Yeah, hence why they need a proper return, they're currently not allowed.
>>97793974I think your opinion is wrong but do share why you think so
>>97794205Why would that matter to you? You don't own any miniatures from either system and never played tabletop in your life. Or is it another case of "if [x] happens I'll DEFINITELY buy my first miniatures!" lmao
>>97794205You can play them in TOW and with renegade rules they aren't terrible. TOW has a big advantage over 40k/AoS in that the community simply uses their own comps instead of official GW everything.
>>97794242>You don't own any miniatures from either system and never played tabletop in your life.You just like to imagine that. Why? Well I could of course speculate, but I think it's more important that you speak to a psychiatrist.

>>97794452If it's so small it bothers you then why would you care if it has rules? People run little guys as fucking Daemon Princes because it's funny.
>>97791398I'm pleasantly surprised by the CoS giantess being ok.Hope the SoB one is better
>CoS kicked out the the elf women and dwarf women for ogresses and giantessesThe betrayal, orchestrated by the woman on that manicure and carried out by the steelhelms. What a racist.
>>97794554It's an upgrade
>>97794554*manticore>>97794576Lol no.
>>97794554>>97794576Elf coomer vs gigantess coomerTruly the rivalry of our time.Very well, I will pick a side. Tell me why I should go team elf or gigantess.
>>97794554Sorry but now are elfs women the ones who decide (dwarfs don't even have women)
>>97794591Elves had been humanity's faithful allies for thousands of years now, living and dying side by side against the darkness.But now they're gone.
>>97791417As an outsider looking in, are you actually losing anything if the setting dies? I was explicitly told the setting was designed so anything can happen anywhere and anyone can fight anyone. It’s a setting built on irreverence so it will die irreverently.
Are any battletome pdfs post Maggotkin available yet for 4th edition?
>>97794591Giantesses are /tg/-core to the point Felarya used to be seriously discusse here
>>97794603>duardin kvinn erasureRude
>>97792755>Is dragon quest a dead Ip? I thought they were doing alright for themselves.Its just a genuinely outdated IP that no longer resonates with its core audience. That being, the Japanese. I remember seeing a polling for the games demographics somewhat before the recenet remake came out and a majority of the age bracket for dq in Japan consisted of people who were over 40 years old. Its genuinely depressing to mull over. Personally I wish skeletons would just stop being hogged by humans and gw would experiment with undead orcs, dwarves, and so on and so forth. I'd leave the elite stuff like the cavalry and barrow guard to humans.
>>97794603>rhat FS novel where the FS women go barefoot all day>the artwork from wfrp>that shitty Fantasy mobile kusoge where you can play a dwarf womanI hate this meme. Dwarves in Warhammer have women.
>>97794633really when well done Fyreslayers have the potential to be the coolest duardin army out there, can't understand why they don't give a proper update for them.
>>97794651Because they're just one unit from the dwarf army spun off unto its own thing and are less creative than in Fantasy since in Fantasy they had the goblin-hewer warmachine and Slayer Pirates. GW plays it too safe with AoS.
>>97794649dwarf women do indeed exist.
>>97794629https://files.catbox.moe/crapee.pdf
>>97794660That could be said about NH, FeC, GSC, Ironjawz, Ossiarch and DoK yet there they are as proper factions.
>>97794664female kos forces when?
>>97794660That doesn't prevent anything, it's just an indictment of GW's lack of creativity.
>>97794676All Keepers of Secrets are hermaphrodites
>>97794672DoK is at least spun off of three dark elf units: witches, harpies, and the bloodwrack medusa. Even then GW already ran out of ideas, removed their cavalry, and added replacement shades instead.I'm sure the cauldron is going away too, since they have the new snake heroine and elf foot heroine and now a new cauldron terrain piece and the guards now are unit themselves so they really have no reason to keep it around and I hate it.
>>97794666NTA but man, how are these scans so fucking good? The quality is so pristine I could take it for a legit digital edition.
>>97794696they can work a little more on other gimmicks of the faction besides female sexy elfs (now not even sexy because of full armor)
>>97794591>>97794614>>97794631Sigmar wanted all of mankind to have both Giant and elven wives it is the truth
>>97792524>Read an adult's book btwI can't imagine telling someone this while spending free time on 4chan
>>97794711With their fluff being an endless battle with the Slaaneshi, and Slaanesh having a Persians from 300 vibe, it was a shoe-in to have a Greeks from 300 look. They're already half naked.
>>97794727Well, the age required to be posting on this site is 18 so we’re all adults here. Right guys?
>>97794780Talk about
>>97794780KEK, i doubt even half the ToW shitposters are over 16 yo.
>>97794720Sigmar's final gift
>>97794869We could have had elf wives, dwarf wives, ogre wives, and giant wives, but a human woman decided the elves and dwarves had to go.
>>97794869Sigmars final gift is to make AoS more like WHFB, a truly kingly gift.
>>97794226because its just lancers and alarielle then a bunch of slow dogshit people will stop taking in 3 months.
>>97794591what about giant elves?
>>97792755>I understand the criticism that they're a bit too elite, makes them very similar to the barrow guardI feel like the internal plan was initially to do that, but then when the whole Cursed City shit happened they felt the need to pivot into the whole Cursed City look just being the general aesthetic of the Soulblight faction. I wish it wasn't the case. Not that I don't like the Eastern Euro look of their armor, but it just doesn't strike me as what should be the general look for them. Cursed City having so many characters revamped into general AOS units pretty much just turned Soulblight into Cursed City: the Faction. It's all just Vyrkos vampires and that kinda sucks.
>>97792275Shouldn't she have more of a greyish pallid tone to her skin? Even black people can start to look pale without sunlight. Something similar to faceless dark skinned hentai men.
>>97794961Ashy blacks never given media representation outside of Ashy Larry
>>97794883I would just play 8e or ToW if I wanted that.Guess all I can do is keep on playing 2e and 3e, depending what our group feel like that day.
>>97792798Lobsters are likely. As are some jellyfish that simply revert to their larval stage and start all over.Checkmate, Nagash-lover.
>>97795151>Lobsters are likely.Lobsters keep getting bigger, so are hard-coded to die by the square-cube law.
>looking at adepticon discussion videos on youtube>find some scottish guy talking about which units have potential to work in warcry and how we're definetly getting more warcry units after the launch of 11th edition 40kit's so bizarre. This must be what those sailors that found japanese soldiers on random pacific islands still fighting 20 years later felt like.
>>97795202Scots are known for being retarded and loving lost causes.
>The crowd heckled and howled as the dark-skinned woman ditched her shield. She tossed the heavy object at Tarax – who shifted gracefully aside – then rushed her. She wove simple effective patterns with her duelling sabre, probing the High Gladiatrix's defences and not allowing her to swing her whip.>They exchanged more strikes, sword on Khainite dagger, a smile breaking out across Tarax's face as she realised she was truly being tested>‘You have talent,’ she said. ‘Tell me, how did you find yourself in the pits of Draichi Ganeth?’>‘I slew one of yours,’ her opponent said, impassively. ‘Believe me, she deserved it. I made it last.’>Without warning, the human charged Tarax again. She feinted before unleashing a slashing combination that should have carved open the Gladiatrix's face. But Tarax simply collapsed into a backwards somersault, her rising feet striking the woman's sword-hand and bending her wrist back with a snap. The human gasped and cursed, dropping her weapons; the aelf lashed out with her whip, tangling the woman's legs and wrenching her to the floor. Tarax was on her in a flash, dagger at her throat. The crowd roared in anticipation of the kill.>‘Listen to them,’ hissed the defeated warrior. ‘Do it!’>The High Gladiatrix smiled and stood back, leaving the woman lying in the dirt. A chorus of jeers rained down from above, but she ignored it. Let them howl.>‘You fought well,’ she said, sheathing her dagger. ‘Better than any human I have crossed blades with lately. Khaine is honoured. And there will be enough gore spilt to sate his every desire, believe me.’Do you think love can bloom in the gladiator pits of Draichi Ganeth?
>>97795202I love Warcry but have conceded it's dead. At the same time, the rules are great overall and it's a super fun game so we're still playing it and have been homebrewing new scenarios and terrain sets
>>97794666Thank you, but I got that one. I meant the Lumineth, the Disciples or the Bonereapers books if they are avaliable.
>>97795300God I wish that was me
>>97795300No, lesbians can't experience love.
Fucked up that there still isn't a generic Khinerai hero for DoK.
>>97795331The neglected scathborn, suffering from being light cavalry equivalents.
>>97795043That’s why I’m so surprised at the response outside of 4chan. TGA and Reddit are acting like GW is going to come into our homes and destroy all our old books and lobotomize us so we can’t play older editions of AoS. Even if they turn AoS into Warhammer fantasy on circles they can’t change what we already have.
>>97795331A generic flying hero would be welcome, khinerai or no. Could be something on a mount, I don't care. It'd just be nice to have a flyer who's not Morathi or Krethusa.
>>97794736One of the initial DoK teaser trailers had some serious ancient Greece vibes>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlQqri1FuRQ
>"Fuck them rats"- Some guy at my LGS after going 3-12 vs Skaven in Spearhead
>>97795364Because we already went through this once with the end times and haven't forgiven nor forgotten.Maybe it'll be a good thing and force teach people again to not take GW's fluff to heart and wean them of the concept that Warhammer is the only game or story in town.
>>97795306I got a warcry box and want to give it a go but it's funny to me that some people think that after a year of radio silence GW is going to keep supporting it.
>>97795364Playing dead game without GW support is painful. It's possible, yes, but you suffer nontheless.
>>97795454Yeah, TOW has it hard nowadays
>>97795454>Playing dead game without GW support is painful.No it's not. They won't meddle with it, they won't change or ruin it in any way. It's what you consider a finished product.
>>97795454>Mordheim>WarmasterBoth in great shape. Then Necromunda and Blood Bowl got "official support" and GW shat through bed.
Wasn't Erasmus supposed to have a laser pistol? Wasn't that what the leak said?
>>97795454Mordheim and Blood Bowl both flourished without Games Workshop
>>97795484Mordheim is a very special case. It was a very good SKIRMISH game from the getgo and it only had one edition, with good fluff in acknowledged setting, beloved my many.Age of Sigmar has none of that. It was rejected by most of the Warhammer community, the lore is a mess and setting is universally hated.>warmasterNever saw anyone playing it.
>>97795519like a 40k las pistol, like what Amazons used in fantasy?
>>97795559I think it was described more like a tiny luminark.
>>97795558Let's not get carried away calling Mordheim good as a game. Fluff and flavor is top-notch, no disagreement there.
>>97795537Boxed games are different beast. Games like WFB, AoS, 40k etc. die without constant refresh of models, new armies and units. Didn't wfb example teach you anything?
>>97795559Man, I really wish something as silly as a laspistol or bolter and chainsword as a rare chaos god gift was carried over to modern fantasy.
>>97793230>With Cathay especially, making a brand new model range of a brand new model range beggars belief.You cannot say that without getting a peak at their internals.Cathay was a naked attempt to appeal to the Asian market, but we don't know how that worked. If it worked well, making Asian-themed AoS markets actually makes perfect sense (and I wouldn't be surprised if 40K 11th intros a new army with similar coding)
>>97795691>and I wouldn't be surprised if 40K 11th intros a new army with similar codingget ready for tau 2!!!!!
>>97795691If it didn't work well we wouldn't be getting Cathay and Nippon for AoS.
>>97795559I keep pitching prismatic realmstone rifles for CoS but James doesn't read my posts.
>>97795691>Asian marketDoubt that. Asians don't play Warhammer and expensive new china-themed army wouldn't change that. It was a safe option after Kislev became a hot potato because of our Dark Lord Putin the Great. TOW nedeed something new - and Cathay had luck.
>>97795729Wasn't that the "fake" part of the leak?Honestly i doubt they will add literally three fucking humanoid factions to AoS.
>>97795755I don't. GW thought Kharadrons and Fyreslayers were good ideas.
>>97795761>kharadrons>bad ideayou have pointy ears or something against ballons?
>>97793347So first of all, the trickery of your post is concealing a huge assumption in tight little descriptor you've concocted for the day, rumored (imminent).GW develops things 5 years out all the fucking time. More if we're just talking about 2D concept art, where they literally can haul out decades-old inspo. That's what "imminent" means in this context.Secondly, what better time would there have been to work on AoS notcathay than when they were concepting and designing Cathay, neck deep in their Chinese history research, literally taking meetings with the Chinese culture consultant team, etc? That is absolutely exactly when they would've started work on this stuff.
Speaking of kharadron:>>97795777>>97795777>>97795777
>>97793557Snow bases can actually require less effort anon. Because you don't have to paint them, you just plop on your "snow medium" and shape it, then let it cure.
>>97795769They look awful.
>>97793558I don't know how someone can live in a delusion like this. I guess just wilfully staying ignorant, and jealously guarding your 25-year-old priors so they don't accidentally update your brain software?Modern tournament culture has moved far away from what you just described. Nowhere is this better exemplified than in the ubiquitous devotion to "playing to intent" (which would have been considered a laughable utopian dream from 1990-2020). Most modern tourney freaks want to test themselves against quality opponents in a mistakes-free enviroment.This is not a defence of tourneysexuals, btw. Their willingness to cut out the creative/narrative heart of wargaming to turn it into a gay sport is horrendous, as is their idea of a "worthy test" that comes in the form of playing an awfully-designed game that will be rejumbled every 3 years no matter what.But you're operating on an understanding of tourneyfag culture that is a decade and more out of date.
>>97795805Entitled to your wrong opinion. They are sovl core.
>>97794797Nothing the youth loves more than *checks notes* western fantasy 4X strategy gamesSchrödinger's TWW Secondary truly does not pay a cent of rent in here...
>>97795743Do you think publicly traded companies look at untapped markets and say, "they won't like our stuff, no point in trying" or nah
>>97795888Zoomers love HoI4.
>>97792059You would probably like OG Elathain's Soulraid: The giant crab was a beast and the fish had lots of exploitation potential.Also they just revealed that new Realm Lords warband based on the fox wind spirit mascot.
