>>97795910>>97795943when they will give the faction good units again?
>>97795954I dunno. The next thing to release should be something to fill the vacancy that will open once the Warlocks are gone. Then I'd like to see a few basic things, like the heroes built from the murder mobile kit getting single model releases.
>>97795954>witch elves lost their shields so these biddies can have the coveted heavy armor save of 5+
>>97795943I'm going to miss the Blood Cauldron
>>97795777Slickblade Seekers. I fucking hate trying to pronounce it luckily Hedonite players are near non-existent
>>97796141The necroquake, whatever happened there
Went 2-1 at my LGS spearhead tourney. Only lost one game cuz laser gun deals mortals
>>97795777CheckedTQ: ENDRINRIGGERS I'll let you decide which category they go in
>>97796141I don't even understand what's happening here.
>>97796141>Daddy are you a member of Legion of Night?
>>97796284Endrin*ggers you say?
>>97796028Like that they actually look good
What are some new models the Death armies could possibly get or what would (you) personally like to see them get?>Bonus points for no characters
>>97796601ZOMBIE PIRATES
I think it’s a little infuriating how much your painting experience improves when you shell out the money for natural brushes. Working on my Spearhead and finishing it in a timely manner seems possible and not a 8 month project lmao.
>>97796611>vampire coast trash
>>97796601>jiangshi style zombies, maybe slightly more elite than deadwalker zombies for SBGL>a “knight” foothero with a rusted breastplate and a squire holding his weapon for FECSpirit possesed suits of armor for Nighthaunt. Im thinking have the helmet open with no head inside and a ghostly face on the chest or swordI was going to suggest some kind of bone collecting guy with a sack of bones for OBR but thats already an underworlds model
>>97796601I think the zombie models are pretty underwhelming, though they got refreshed pretty recently. I’d like Blood Knights on foot, though with better helmets. If they have to show the mouth cause Vampires lmao then at least obscure the rest of the face.
>>97796652I dont use natural brushes and it doesnt take me nearly so long to finish paint jobs. Of course some synthetics are complete shit, but having some halfway decent small brushes and batch painting goes a long way
>>97796601The next Mortarch should be the Lady of all Flesh, Mistress of Deadwalkers or I riot
>>97796284i am astonished that this one got anywhere even close to passing the ideas board. I double take every time I see it. It literally says endriniggers
>>97796601Elite blood magic themed ranged units for SBGL
>>97796745Its unfortunate KO gets endrinriggers but nurgle can’t have nurgors
>>97796601Nighthaunt Dullahans. Mounted and on foot.
>>97795794Sounds like what me and your mom did last night
>>97796754Now there's a battle box for the centuries.
>>97795777Are KO Latvian? Because they're clearly my Riggas
>>97797019I think this guy and the contraption mechanic getting consigned to an un-set was when I finally gave up on Magic.
>>97797027Unstable was still the good UN set. The new one they made in black border to sell more pack was an abortion that killed the idea
>>97796601Have Daintalo actually make something big and give him an Army of Renown that buffs regular zombies into his fast zombies
>>97797044It's just I spent a decade speculating how it would work, how exciting a machining themed set would be, and then when we get it it's not even standard legal and is designed in a way such that it will never be, and now Doctor Who and Street Fighter or whatever ARE. It's so fucking gay.
>>97797113Only real issue is the contraption deck being Conspiracy tier draft-only mechanic.The actual effect is way more normal than shit they do in LotR or DnD crossover
>tqI like arch-revenants. Nothing particularly special about the name, just nice and simple.As for least favourite, maybe boingrot bounderz. I mean really, "squig knights" wasn't specific enough for you?Great models though. The underworlds version for example is one of my favourite models around.
>>97797393gloomspite in particular likes to go with really weird names, but i will agree that "bounderz" is extra weird"squig squirez" goes hard though
Speaking of gloomspite weirdness, have you guys ever seen blanche's concept art for the army? Really cool stuff, and while you can see some concept translated pretty one to one, I think on the whole his vision was way more body horror oriented. Lots of fungal overgrowth, spider mutations, etc. Also a LOT of mushroom poison gas for some reason. I like it though, the stinkhorn in picrel would be a great pity hero release. But you can also see for example them coming back to this stuff over the years, the loonboss on cave squig from the sylvaneth vs box set is clearly based on the guy here.
>>97797428This one has a lot more of that poison gas stuff I was talking about, also some musician conceps. The guy in the top left made it in via the squig herd set I think.
>>97797432In this one you've got the inspiration for the sporesplatta, as well as a reimagined moonclan version of the spider riders. If we ever get that kit refreshed I'd imagine it would look something like that.But the most obvious divergence here is the great cave troggoth, which seems to have become the dankhold in the end. This one is very different though, way more fungal with a whole colony on his back (the dankhold also has that, but it's very much toned down and more extra decoration than a focal part of the design like here). He's also again more mutated to be (presumably) more spiderlike, with multiple thin spindly limbs. Also a very ratlike face for some reason.
>TQFavourite is either Spirit of the Mountain or Light of Eltharion which makes it very odd that I don't own Order at all.Detested is either Hobgrot Vandalz because they're ugly and poor and I never wanna see them or Katakros because I think the model is very boring as hell but in both cases it comes from a closeness. I'm sure I could find some models I think are worse like Gotrek (he deserves so much better) and most Fyreslayers but I just can't bring myself to care since I don't collect any of those models.
>>97797428>for some reasonSpores
>>97795777I have to read these guys name twice every single time
>>97797442Finally here's skragrott, which seems to be mostly unchanged in his final design, lankiness and all. He was called "king wortwari" at first though.Anyway, in the end I think they toned down a lot of the "troglodite fungal spider mutant" factor in the eventual end product. Maybe because spiderlings from silver tower weren't super well received? Who knows. I like em though and I hope to see some concepts return in the future, like the stinkhorn and the cool mould spreaders. Oh also, seems like all this stuff was drawn in 2015. Supports the general idea of a ~3 year timeline for armies to go from concept to box in a store, since these were released in january 2019.
anyone know of a good recipe for painting sylvaneth skin through layering rather than contrast/washes?
>>97797428Stinkhorn is great, the revenant from Doom but gobbo.
>>97797428>have you guys ever seen blanche's concept art for the armyIt's cool, but i'm fairly sure most people know it by now
>>97797497>final Kharadon isn't firing his tummy-beamSad!
>>97797500There's a bunch of changed details. Stormcast is missing his furr coat, Darkoath chief changed his hairstyle, Skragrot doesn't have his squigs, Reikenor had legs an didn't hve his iron mask
Can someone give me a list in order of all the battletomes that have been released in this 4th edition? I want to know which battletomes I already have and which ones I'm missing.
>>97797497Oh cool I'd never seen that nighthaunt art before. There's another picture of blanche nighthaunt floating around but it's got different designs, cool.>>97797519Blanche did quite a few stormcast pieces, and while some detail carried over they're all fairly different.
>>97797542SkavenStormcastSTOrrukGloomspiteKOSoulblightKorneepkinFECNighthauntHelsmithsNurgleTzeetnchLuminethOssiarchDoK and Sylvaneth coming
>>97797478>weren't super well receivedYes, their best selling board game at the time? Sure
>>97797478>Maybe because spiderlings from silver tower weren't super well received? Who knows.Yes. The sperging over them is what killed spider motifs in gitz.Same way sperging over Battletome pestilance resulted in Pestilance being neglected ever since
>>97797558Thanks for the information.
>>97797542This anon >>97797558 got it, though CoS has also been announced of course.I think we're missing sons of behemat, seraphon, slaanesh, ogres and fyreslayers/khazalid.
>>97797556hey I've never seen those Stormcast pics before, but now I wonder why GW went for the blue scheme instead of making them grossly incandescent. Actually makes me want to try painting them like that
>>97797581Zombie music guy sneaked onto the cover
>>97797586Worth remembering that they were pitted againt red Khorne in their debute box, so they wouln't have gone for a red sheme
>>97797572Silver tower was great and almost all the designs are widely beloved, but the spiderlings were definitely quite controversial when they came out.
>>97797607GW have no metric for your feelings
>>97797481
Progress on this cathallar. The veil came out fine but I’m not looking forward to the big chalice thingy…
>lgs still has the DoK dawnbringers box and battleforces from 2 years ago
>Gravehowler Shaman>Gitmob hearing his cursed wails will know no death. Doesn't metter is simply stabbed or fully decapitated they will continue fighting until the shaman isn't silenced
>>97797653Lucky, mine only has the underworld warband.
>>97797647Here’s the back
>>97797647Realy good, but i have to ask: Is she standing on a pinecone or does the rock happen to look like this?
>>97797624They're not blind nor deaf. Look at how many jokes they made about ossiarchs finally getting archers.
>>97797663They did?
>>97795777Skynigger more like
>>97797581Since we have new Gargant models, the Sons of Behemat will be the next to get a new battletome in this edition.
>>97796601Soulstealing pirate elves
>>97797684While "add random gargants to other factions and let SoB use all of them" is a logical way of handling SoB, i doubt GW would do it
>>97797661thanksIt's not a pinecone, it's a flower-shaped stone
>>97797689Gargants and ogors living in Cities are runts and fags. They are not accepted by SoB or OM cultures. They could work as a larping RoR
>>97797702Imagine giving af what a starving shit covered tribal thought
When will the new cos book be released?
>>97797716Kinda matters when they're twice your size>>97797719Soon™
>>97797684and it appears they'll have a small gargants update, with womenanother good thing about the city gargants is that it will be fairly easy to remove the city trappings and add extra variety of poses for giants
>>97797719May probably, then Summer is 40k 11th
>>97797726Not when mi mate blows off their legs off before I tenderize their fat ass
>>97797729Unless they will be wildly different in size. GW might do that
>>97797741Aren’t Gargants wildly different in size in the first place atleast what I remember from the last time I read the tome
>>97797740Get RoRed, idiot
>>97797684Why are they chained to the ground?
>>97797746You are right, I don't know why I thought that was a problem
>>97797754Probably to stop them from wandering off.
>>97797754So you don’t get blown away from your position
>>97797684>>97797740i really like the idea that the gunners and their rides are good friends and they actually hang out and share a pint/keg after hours and shit. i dont know if thats actually true but in my head it is
>>97797778There is a short story about a war hulkI think
>>97797778Usually the ogor has some kind of life debt to the guy and that's why he allows this setup
>>97797729>>97797741Judging by the size of the gunners they're quite a bit smaller than their mancrusher cousins.
>>97797684The gun is the only thing I dislike, the rest of the model including the female giant is superb.
>>97797853it really should have just been a swivel gun.
>>97797853After seeing what it's based on I don't hate it quite as much, but imo it's still the one of worst parts of the model, same with the cogfort version.>>97797856Yeah that would've been cool. Do we have any swivel guns on other models somewhere? Maybe on the fw landship?
>>97797867>Do we have any swivel guns on other models somewhere?Closest I think I've ever seen to one modeled is maybe something on dark eldar ships, but thats a stretch obviously.
>>97797684Does anyone know what kind of weapon the gunner is carrying? At first I thought it was a minigun, but looking at it more closely... I have no idea what it is.
>>97797878Apparently there's some ancient dorf and chorf metals from the 80's that have portable swivel guns. They look nice, pretty close in aesthetic to what CoS is going for funnily enough.
>>97797890It looks like an adapted hwacha but idk.
>>97797867It being a volley gun is fine but the problem is that Oblong for some reasonThey could have probably used an earlier Volley gun as inspiration instead
>>97797878>>97797894And here's the chorf one, from back when they were chaos dwarfs, and not "chaos dwarfs" so truly ancient. Again, could fit cos if you made it a little less evil.>>97797890Buddy literally two posts above yours.
>>97797901>tankardI guess even Chorfs still love their beer
>>97797890I think it's some kind of shotgun that can fire all the tubes at once, but reloading it must be ridiculously slow unless the front part can be detached and replaced with another one with the tubes already loaded. What do you guys think?
>>97797899I think they were trying to do something different from the whfb empire volleygun and that's why they went with the other design. I do think it's a cool reference but honestly even irl the things look kind of retarded. And yeah the cogfort version also has the weird oblong shape. Even the mini version of the grenadiers does.
>>97797919>>97797684How do they even load those?
>>97797918I'm the furthest thing from a gun autist so my understanding of how these things work is extremely superficial even on the best of days, but I'm relatively sure they used this >>97797867 exact image as inspiration on their reference board. The site I found it on said the breech was screwed tight by the handle, but they say it's unsure if you had to load ALL the little individual calibers inside, or if it came with a cartridge that basically did that for you once you screwed in the breech. Gotta be the latter right? Surely too slow to be practical if not? Either way it seems this was a pretty specific civil war design.
>>97797919>we want the trench crusade audience
>>97797919>the whfb empire volleygundid the Empire even have Volley guns?I know they had rules in WFRP
>>97797960My history as a Total War secondary tells me yes. It’s called the Helblaster Volley Gun in that game.
>>97797938They seem to be breech loaders, so you fire the gun and then remove the cylinder at the back and replace it with another cylinder that is filled with the pre-loaded chambers.than CoS cannon works on the same principle
>>97794308yeah it's a sayl the faithless helmet, I got a recast of him for it
>>97797947Well they do. Last thing they'd want is competition getting ground. ToW only exists to fuck over KoW
>>97797960Don't you remember Nimyard's Rough-Riders for Age of Sigmar?
>>97797899They had to differentiate between the visual language of aos humans from the one of tow humansaos gets hive guns, tow gets repeater guns
>>97797919you can fix that one
>>97798002I seriously hope these guys have closed helmets too
>>97797965I think they're supposed to be basically vanderburg/berg volley guns, so yeah pretty much like that
>>97797655not sold on mixing greenskins with undeath, would rather have it use tribal spiritualism and ride an elemental wolf. the fight on death mechanic could be justified by goblins being too stupid to die immediately and fighting like headless chickens when the power of the small waaagh is with them, but still, they have to die afterwards.
>>97798017I hope so, but they've shown off some alt builds already and I didn't see anything like that. Here's hoping of course.
>>97798019that and 15th-century cannons
>>97797442I like the troggoth. Idk if we're still spitballing faction specific cogforts. But the concept of a big trog with a mushroom forest being co-opted as howdahs by gits is pretty cool.
>>97796722>>97797092I could get behind an expansion of base zombies. Fantasy RPG had Patchwork Men, stronger and smarter zmarter zombies stichted together from superior parts. They could act like a Barrow Guard equivalent as a tier up from regular zombies or as a single character model that buffs zombies. Or both.
>>97798370if the marshcrawla stl is out there you could print it out at like 250% size and do something like picrel
>>97798405the sloggoth has a very wide pose, even if you were to scale it up to the 160mm base, I don't think you would come up with a large enough trollartisan guild has a big proxy that could scale up better, the howdah on top looks convenient enough to support a goblin tower
>>97798440otherwise there is always the good old giant platform
>>97798405Yea that's an approximation of what I was thinking. Idk why the faction cogfort concept grabbed me so hard, I did the derpy mspaint lizard cogfort a few threads back. Thank God I'm not in charge of the game because it'd end up as pacific rim with each faction being one big mech or monster with little guys as support.
Has taal ever been mentioned in aos?
>>97798459so it seemshttps://ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/Taal
>>97798459only other human god i've seen mentioned in aos is morda who has a priesthood with the lethisian defenders which were sacked during the soul wars when the nighthaunt released katakross.
>>97796601I want more Soulblight stuff but it feels so hard to think of new units without stepping on the toes of Nighthaunt or FEC. Or drifting too far out of the realm of what Soulblight is supposed to be, like no ranged units. Can't have any ghosts and our monster selection is pretty limited since most of the ghoulish abominations go to FEC.I'd like to see more skeletons/wights, but the current two kits seem to cover the bases and weapon options completely. Something like a generic version of the Sons of Velmorn with a customizable Wight King and personal guard/command squad would be rad as fuck. I think there should also be more raised units of other races, like undead gargants, ogors, etc.
>>97798463This sent me down a rabbit hole anout the order pantheon. It's hilarious to think that Gorkamorka was sitting in on council of gods meetings back in the age of myth. I know it was basically just waiting to be told where the next fight was, but just imagining him sitting there as Teclis goes over last weeks minutes, fingers digging through his armrests, Alarieles handmaidens handing him wine, the disruption when Nagash get indignant about not being given wine.
Is there a pdf available yet for 4th edition for the OBR and/or DOT battletomes?
>>97798678No.
>>97798559I really wish we got to actually do a couple of editions of the pantheon being a thing. Like I get the whole Warhammer is about endless war and racism literally that’s it. But it would’ve been nice to do something else for a little while besides the same setting wearing three different hats and a mustach
>>97798448Cogfort conversions have been discussed before we were even certain we were getting em, it's just a fun topic I think.
>>97796407that's because it's Warhamemr Fantasy art, not Age of Sigmar art
>>97798678saldy not, but i am also waiting for scans.
>slaangor hero for slaanesh Bit of an odd pity hero
>>97798836Is it? Tzaangors and Pestigors both have shamans
>>97798841I forgot foul hoof was a thing. Alright fair enough.
>>97798841that's not a reason to give everyone a shaman, also because khornogors wouldn't get a shaman
>>97798892Personally I’d want Khorne to get Minotaurs/ogroids before khorngors as a hero.
>>97798892>also because khornogors wouldn't get a shamanShoul we tell him guys?
In what fucking world is this safe for work? Stupid 4chan staff niggers should be beaten for allowing this smut all over blue boards.
>>97798763Just a background series of Novels, especially if we are going to see Sigmar die, would be a cool way to build up the story. Seeing Sigmar turn these guys who hate each other into a legitimate force that created millennia of peace and prosperity, and then the opposing perspective of the Horned Rat growing into a big four chaos god.
>>97798918The ads have gotten worse, ye. I almost miss that one dude who promoted his shitty music.
>>97798932The blue haired guy?
>>97798892Khornegor shamans are anti-magic instead >>97798918It's shit yeah has been like this for months. There's also the annoying femboy discord one too. Site's been losing traffic so I guess jannies take what they can get nowadays.
>>97798937Maybe? Definitely looked hipster.
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/avczirqt/sunday-preview-into-the-eye-of-terror/>The new Chaos Defiler also gets a spotlight, with a look over its incredible miniature and a chat to the (possibly crazed) minds that designed it. Over in the Mortal Realms, you can read all about the deadly trials of Draichi Ganeth – the mythic Tower of Blades – and then try them for yourself in a Daughters of Khaine-themed mini game, where your fighter takes on a Twisted Treelord, Pit Troggoth, and worse.
>>97797919Not related to your post but as someone who's been mewling about wanting to see a bardiche-and-gun unit since the undead ogres were first shown, I'm really happy to see these guys
>>97798959Imagine paying for advertising each month in 2026
>>97798959>where your fighterA single khanite vs monsters? Sounds like a Taimanin Asagi scenario.
>>97798982>something unrelated to porn?>it must be just like my porn!
>>97798970I'm very happy with them too. Best part of the reveals together with zonn and the skaven.
>>97798981the Mini games seem like a fun waste of time at least
>>97798982It would have orcs if it was Taimanin.
Malus Darkblade audio books are being released. More evidence that Dark Elves are going back to TOW.

>>97797684Will the male gargant get cucked by a real Behemat bull? Watch his gatekeeper gf get railed by a Mega-gargant?
>>97799139>>97799145OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!THEY'RE REFERENCING THE OLD STORY ABOUT KURNOTHI!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
still need to wash and highlight the fucker but i'm forever thankful that skaven are supposed to be disgusting and messy so my awful freehanding works well with the aesthetic
>>97799186I think it looks good.
Over time I've become increasingly convinced kurnothiposters are just falseflagging shitposters. It's either that or they're braindead and tasteless. One or the other.
Ratbros, how are we feeling about the new esshin models? I really like them, they make me want to pivot my OC clan to be more esshin focused since at the moment they're fairly unaligned with any particular specialty.
>>97799211The majority and the loudest of the people clamouring for a new faction are people who would never get into that faction even when it releases, they just hop onto a different hype train for a different faction.
>>97798959So, do we think CoS stuff will be previewed next week, or will it be something else?
>>97799222I like them but it’s not enough for me to start a skaven army. I’ll happily play them in spearhead.
>>97799231Something else next week I think. We just had the last of the elf battletomes. Probably custodes again.
>>97799222They're good, no notes, not spectacular, but neither overwrought or undercooked, both units being the same kit is a surprisingly practical decision I wasn't expecting from gw in this day and age of redundant stuff and bad allocations of resources.
>>97799222i personally think the new night runners and gutter runners are both incredibly well done and fit in well with the new clanrat modelsthey're not the most amazing thing in the world but i'm probably going to pick up the new spearhead when it comes out
Thinking of getting into Maggotkin, how are they looking right now and where should I start? I've heard Belga is pretty good.
>>97799262good if you didnt already own a huge collection of blightkings. blightkings are ass. everything else is very good, you pretty much cant go wrong picking anything in the book.
>>97799186That's a big hidden advantage of crackhead armies. Their in univers painting skill level is lower than the average mini painter's
>>97799262It’s probably the most diverse army in the game rn, belga and rotigus are probably the best heros in their book, but beyond that I think everything else is simply good. Only thing I think that you would want to avoid are beasts of nurgle and blight kings. You get some nice uses with everything else though.
>>97799222Just excited to use them for my next Mordheim Campaign.

Any idea how to build a Courtier in a way that would make it pass both as an Infernal Courtier and Haunter Courtier? I was thinking about using Horror's arms and those small back wings but I found this picture online and it looks so ass, like some mutated gothic lolita from Harajuku.
>>97796601I think a human (or at least mortal) levies type unit would be neat. Normal people do live in the realm of Death, so it would be cool for some representation of that part of the world.If that's too complicated, zombie gargant is an easy dunk
>>97799654Who could like this concept?
>>97797581I really like the cover. Can't wait for 5th edition to replace it with a shitty one.
>>97799789This way of sitting feels out of character
>>97799746I'm not well versed on AOS lore. Are the people of Shyish similar to the people of Sylvania? Poor, ill educated, dirty peasants, etc. Or is there a similar spread of wealth, education, and culture like in Azyr or other realms?I suppose living servants of vampires or even living worshippers of Nagash would work. Hell the latter could make for a decent warband at least.
>>97799789Nagash has aligned his chakras and is about to make it everybody ele's problem
>>97799838It's a mix of everything. Those who live under the rule of the Solblight are normally peasant types, but in all the other eras it's its generaly a nice place to be. As long as you worship Nagash and pay your tithes, he's a pretty benevolent deity, all things considered. Definitely beats Chaos or even Morathi-Khaine, all things considered
>>97799838Only thing I remember of note with Shyish is that it had a bunch of people from other realms going on pilgrimages to travel there to get some kind of stone to try and make sure that Nagash doesnt torment them in the afterlife. There are also kingdoms that had mortals work with skeletons.
>>97797653Shit anon, buy them. I would if I could
>>97799789Why would Nagachsd sit like that? Not undermining the quality of that whole model but I would do it with someone else than Nagash
>>97799838Ulfenkarn had wealthy noblemen and stone/brick houses before russians came ovre and turned the place into a Halloween scarehouse
>>97799931I could see someone like Teclis doing it if he were to try and wrest control of Shyish from Nagash. Corrupted light elf might be a cool look.
>>97799939I'm praying for a Soulblight release that pushes the faction aesthetic away from Cursed City Eastern Euro style. Return to medieval German look for the base appearance of the faction please. Or at least just something different from the Cursed City derivatives.
>>97799961Vampires have nothing to do with Germany though. Might as well go all out with the chinese ones
>>97799973Vampire counts were kinda German with vlad? Personally I don’t mind Slavs though. Putin is my hero. Cyka blyat
>>97799654This will trigger him lol kek good bait
>>97799817he's doing it to mock teclis
>>97798508Shame they got rid of the vargskyr, I mean I never even liked it designwise but it was cool as an option.
>>97799145>PRAISE JESUS AND FUCK EACH OTHER IN THANKS!Do uh...do I have to? We've got a load of ugly and smelly anons in here and I'd rather not if I'm honest.
>>97798508I think adding rules back for the Barrow Guard’s different build options or even different weapon profiles for the spears and swords of the Deathrattle could add a lot of depth relative to effort. Barring that I’d love either Skeleton Peasants (naked skellies fighting with whatever they could get their hands on) or siege skeletons (skellies operating some sort of siege equipment)
>>97799973>ChineseEww please no. Keep Cathay in TOW. At the very least I just want to see something that isn't the same Vyrkos/Eastern Europe look for Soulblight. There's like 9 dynasties in AOS and there's practically no representation for any of them outside of Vyrkos right now. At best there's individual characters like Lauka Vai and Vhordrai or warbands that give a taste of different flavor for the faction. The only basic unit I can think of that doesn't just look like it's from Cursed City is the Blood Knights.
>>97799973>Slants in my Age of SigmarFucking ROPE anon. Right now.
>>97800039They’ve been edging soulblight with lahmian stuff so far so who knows. Maybe we’ll get something more Egyptian like.
>>97800058Sounds like it could be nice. At the very least a change of pace. Hell when the Tomb Kings get new skeleton sculpts in TOW I might do some Egyptians for my Soulblight collection.
>>97800039I would be absolutely fine with looking other vampire themed armies but Vyrkos are cool come on they made a pact with Undead Febrir to become half werewolves, they are kino and Cursed City despite production fiasco was great
>>97800077>ToWddler kits in AoSHaram.
>>97800080Truth nvke
>>97800039>the current Blood Knights came out before Cursed CityDamn Cursed City really hit SBGL like a nuke
>>97800083shut it, faglet
I decided to build and paint some Kruleboyz that I got years ago as my first AoS minis, and I'm finding them really hard to paint. Are all AoS minis really time consuming to paint due to their detail?
>>97800039>>97800041Niggas
>>97800106They’re more Japanese than Chinese
>>97800080>completely squandered the werewolf concept
>>97800080I'm really not dogging on Cursed City or Vyrkos in general. Hell I'm working on Cursed City as my current main project. It's great. But it shouldn't be the whole fucking faction.
>>97800112Arr rook
>>97800106does anyone even like these?
>>97800103Models can be quite detailed but for most ranges barring Slaanesh, cities and lumineth, and maybe idoneth are easy to paint. The rest can be quite detailed but for something like sylvaneth it be quite easy to just cover up the detail and it’ll still look good. Also imo kruels are easier to paint than the old 40k orks which had a lot more details with the leather shit being every where.
>>97799775Me! But I love wood elves in every game so it's not really that surprising I guess.
>>97800190shaolin vampires are cool.
>>97800190They're cool as a one off, or subfaction. Honestly, the biggest issue with something like AoS is that most subfactions don't get attention and models. They wouldn't even need an entire range, just bits and upgrade kits. Otherwise, properly making one is a pretty larger kitbashing undertaking. Each city in CoS should have pretty different gear, even if they're organized mostly the same way. instead, we end up with the same army over and over again, just in different colors.

Is the double turn still an issue in the 4th edition?
>>97800307Yeah. Until AoS goes alternating activation the game will have a core problem.
>>97800307it filters bad players with no game sense as a double turn is usually an easy way to lose a game.
>>97799775I like it, I always did. Though I stopped waiting for Kurnothi to come "soon" years ago. GW has been teasing that shit for like seven years now, it's crazy.
>>97800307It’s the least it’s ever been defined in Aos so far. >>97800314Aos is the one gw game where it doesn’t need alternating activation especially considering how much stuff already players respond to each other. 40k though yeah it fucking needs it for me to give it a look again.
>>97800190Shaolin Vampires are soul
>>97800190Absolutely.
>>97800331Alternating Activation 40k or Heresy would be peak!

>>97800270>>97800275>>97800336>>97800344do you have them?
>>97800376Yes
>>97800376i sold mine to local soulblight players. the models are very nice to build though.
>>97799342>I'm excited to use monopose monobuild figures in a game all about conversions
>>97800106It’d be extremely funny if they turned Nagash Japanese
>>97800538>Nagash after jobbing to Teclis decies the only way to beat chink elfs is by out-weebing them
>>97800538>nagashigarufund it
>>97800376I don't, but mostly because I lost several bidding wars trying to collect a bunch of Warcry bands. I ran out of steam after painting the forth one, and now my homebrew project is just on a shelf while I paint Cursed City.
>>97800538After Adrian Smith left GW he painted a bit of weeb stuff for CMON. Consider it a glimpse of what might have been had GW seen that there was money to be made in Nippon.
>>97800538>While you were reforging >I studied the bladeLMAO
>>97800538You want mirrion sours? Too bad! Here sword! Fuck u!
>>97800106I figured anons didn’t want jiangshi in AoS
>>97800545>Mhm, what form should I take to deal with these damnable wannabe cathayans? Perhaps I should consult the history books...
>>97800843No, it's GW that doesn't want Jiangshi
Adepticon's golden demon winner (supposedly)
>>97800940Some beauties in herehttps://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/kgzvdqgj/golden-demon-2026-winners-revealed-at-adepticon/
It looks like he's in the middle of a Disneyesque villain song.
>>97800959That's a really cool conversion
>>97800989Lord forgive me but WOULD.
>>97800959One day…
>>97800940An already kino model with a fucking gorgeous paint scheme no surprise this won.>>97800959A Tzeentch model that would be great to see for real, has birds yes, but at least is a great representation of a mortal leader. >>97800984>>97800989I like more the group of Blightknights than Festus but both are cool
>>97800989How did he do the opaque spots in the water?
>>97801022Actually nvm this would be better
>>97800959All great entries. I'm a little surprised to not see any HoH models among them, though.
Birb... no ;_;
>>97801022>>97801038kurnothi bros... someday we will get what we deserve...
>>97800940Wasn’t a fan till I saw the base. >>97801045Lots of nurgle though, which I can’t blame. Though I’ll be honest this years golden demon were not as impactful as last years.
>>97801060Is it me or does vizzik look weirdly clean in this one
>>97801075He shaved
>>97801071Tha base is bascially its own diorama it's really kino. I assume that's using the new sbgl/ng terrain kit?
>>97801093It uses bits of Warcry's gnarloaks as well.
Airbrushed models all have this samey look to them that makes them feel like 80s amateur art on the side of a guys van
>>97801140That's the exact aesthetic AoS should aspire to.
>>97801140>>97801151samefag and also paintlet
Not a fan on the new Cities of Sigmar foot knights.Would the old world bret foot knights work with a some conversion work?
>>97801168Gtfo here with that shit. Should be embarrassed for even thin king that can work with that shit. Never mind the boring weapons, the helmets are dogshit. I won’t even get into the armor.
>>97801168Sounds fine to me. You even get a double sized unit because the Gallants are 5 to a squad.
>>97801182>the helmets are dogshitThey are but so are the steelhelm helmets too.If I build an AoS army everyone is getting kettle helmets
>>97801168Literally look like toilets >>97801194I can tolerate steel helms but I’ll admit they could probably have been done better. At least the closed helms actually look cool but they don’t provide much in that.
>>97801168Do you even need to convert anything? They are just foot-knights, just change to circle base and you're set.
>>97801246Mostly id just do headswaps and scrap off the fluer-de-lis
Newfag to AOS, interested in starting Skaven (and possibly Stormcast down the road)Wondering in terms of armies, thinking of getting the starter set (can get full Skaventide version) and along with that would picking up this make a good base for an army (want to play casually and maybe try tournaments) or are these not worth it for the units i.e. are they bad?If so would you recommend any alternatives
>>97801268Pic rel is also an option in terms of leftover discount boxes where I am
>>97801268Pick up the spearhead that’s in your pic first and play with that to see if you like it.
>>97800940The actual dragon looks worse painted than every other gold and many of the silver. No idea why this won it all.> The base!!!Bases keep you from losing they don't win you the entire thing
>>97801413If theres one thing I can give the dragon credit for is that you can see the bones on the whole dragon, but yeah its not exactly fascinating beyond the base.
>>97801268Probably best to wait a year as AoS as a setting is being squatted and rebooted and no one knows exactly which factions will be making the jump. You could be buying in to an army that won’t be playable this time next year. Best to wait and see. You can read all about the leaks and squatting on TGA the biggest AoS forum.
>>97801686Today, I lied on the internet.
>>97801268Ignore this faggot: >>97801686I'd would definitely start there, or even just go on Ebay and get some stuff. Skaven have been very popular since their introduction in AoS - you can get a unit of Clanrats pretty cheap and see if you like painting the same(ish) rat over and over. You're either going to use a decent amount of Clan Rats or a single type of unit given they're horde-y outside of Monster Mash lists. You could probably find a Cities player to split the box with it, too, or sell their half on Ebay if you get the box yourself.
>>97801686Skaven are confirmed for last world according to the leaks.
>Freeguild Fusiliers have face plates in their kitI know it’s fitting with their role, but I hope the Grenadiers have them too. I just think it looks better.
>>97801686>He's still tryingPitiful
>>97801268>>97801695>>97801704These people are lying to you FYI. AoS is being squatted, the mortals realms are being destroyed and rebooted and the titular namesake Sigmar is being killed off. They are replacing it with a new Battleworld like setting. Best to hold for just one year so you don't end up wasting money on an army that may or may not make it into the new setting. All the credible rumor mongers that have been right about everything have backed this leak. It's 100% happening. Read more about it here.https://www.tga.community/forums/topic/44679-age-of-sigmar-the-last-world-rumour-thread/
>>97801723Even if that is true, he's not wasting anything. He can always play 4th ed with people even after that or use the minis for OPR.
>>97801728He's getting into a setting that is being squatted in a year. He deserves to know the risks at least, because he surely isn't buying it to play 4th edition with a community that may or may not exist years down the line. I am at least giving him the whole unbiased picture, so he can't say he was duped into buying it like others are trying to trick him into doing here (not you but the others)
>>97801723I'm gonna panic buy witch elves and scarhborn to hoard like I'm going into hibernation.
>>97801735I don't think witch aelves are in danger, they will probably stay in AoS/The Last World, and if they are replaced, they will be sold under the TOW name. Either way they are safe.
>>97801723yes and space marines are going to be defunct and replaced with imperial guardsmen.
>>97801743Why are you trying to trick a guy that's about to spend a lot of money?
>/aosg/ wasn't a fucking mess like every other WH thread>I better post the rumor again and ignore that Boole lost their fucking mind after posting it>and that GW has been going "oh, you found out? here's the full reveal" for the last few leaks aside from Cities because Boole is a dramatic retard that refused to other more than vagueposts>Let's just kill off the 3rd best tabletop war game and make it like the fantasy game we had a decade ago that was being outsold by a fucking box of Marines
>>97801760Are we still on the cope phase? All the leakers that were right with rock solid records before are all wrong at the same time because...because we don't like the leak?
>>97801758Me? Trick anyone? Oh you fool.
>>97801764Until GW themselves says a word about anything, I consider it all horseshit. I'm honestly just tired of bad faith shitposters ruining what used to be a genuinely nice general thread.
>>97801268the stormfiends are pretty strong boys that cost a fair amount of points but i always love bringing them, they also have a lot of stupid options for weapons (biggest downside is that they are a pain to assemble because of the tubes and other weirds bits and pieces fitting togetherwarp lighting cannon is honestly not very good at all unless you have a skryre keyword hero next to it that can supercharge it into doing extra attacks, but even then expect this thing to shoot once or maybe twice until it's blown up (it has the potential to do a lot of mortal damage though, so any heavily armored boys like stormcast will melt because of it)more clanrats are always good and are the backbone to pretty much any skaven army, a lot of armies will usually have at least 40 of the fuckers>>97801295this is also a pretty great set but only if you're going with a skryre army, since the arch warlock is really good for that as is the jezzails (you'll want a warlock engineer for them though for an ability thing, similar to the WLC). i personally never cared for the stormvermin myself but if you want more beefy infantry for skaven you can't go wrong with them, and the newer models are pretty great lookingif you're thinking of getting into both skaven and SCE then the skaventide box is a pretty great option, particularly for the rat ogors and more clanrats, and it comes with the warlock engineer as well that synergizes mad good with the jezzailstl;dr it's a really good time to pick up models and sets for skaven because of the new refreshes, and skaven have pretty much always been fun on the tabletop; you can make some really hideous competitive lists but for casual play you can just throw shit together and let your silly shitheads do their thing (and die horribly in the process)
>>97801779That's fine, if you want to bury your head in the sand and wait for next years Adepticon reveal, you do you. But don't try to lie to new people getting into it that it isn't a real and significant risk.
>>97801792Literally none of the leakers you keep referencing have said anything about losing models, much less entire fucking armies you giga-retard. Even Boole, who posted the initial leak while literally hysterical came back a few days later mellowed out and doubled down on no models being lost.
>>97801815most of the people spouting this shit are just shitposting and parroting, don't give it attention nor credence
>>97801760>>Let's just kill off the 3rd best tabletop war game and make it like the fantasy game we had a decade ago that was being outsold by a fucking box of MarinesYes. Especially now that that game is back on store shelves making this redundant. But GW gonna GW.
>>97801831Maybe AoS isn't selling as well as you think it is. As we've already been over, ICV2 not listing their methodology invalidates their data. Especially considering it is paid information, where if they actually had a statistically significant number of stores surveyed, they would use that to advertise sales of their data. But they don't, which is a massive red flag. What we got from an actual interview with the largest mainland European chain on camera, responsible for 1/50 of GW's GLOBAL revenue, is that AoS has been struggling since TOW returned.
>He's still tryingRetards sure are persistent.
>can't argue with facts>resorts to ad hominemIll take the concession with grace.
>GW will squat a game to make it a copy of another game that they already makeBruh.
>>97801855None of your persistent whining and coping about ICV2 explains why TOW isn't even in the top ten. You can't even float a plausible theory to explain it so you just slander the survey.
>>97801907It's not whining or coping. If anything, you not understand why a survey not listing its methodology invalidates it is an indictment of you rather than me.
>>97801912>n-nooo you!
>>97801915Let me spoon feed you retardkun https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6970301/
>>97801925Not clicking that. Post it in your own general.
>>97801912>It's not whining or coping.>LOL>LMAO evenYou're not fooling anyone, retard. There's only one reason you have deep concerns about the survey methodology and it's obvious. And even then, flawed data is still data, just yelling "it doesn't count!" isn't an explanation, it's a pitiful and obvious attempt to end the conversation because it's killing your retarded spin.
>>97801942There's no spin, you guys once again are making yourselves look quite uneducated by not grasping the point I am making. Also no spin, I just came here to warn that guy that AoS is being squatted, which it objectively is. I just said that AoS probably doesn't sell as well as you dummies seem to think it does, and that probably plays into why it is being squatted for a new setting.
>>97801949>AoS is being squattedToday, I continue lying on the internet. You're free to provide proof from a place other than your imagination.
>>97801949>being squatted for a new setting.mmm yes, much like 40k was with gathering storm.
>>97801949>I just came here to warn that guy that AoS is being squatted, which it objectively is.It's objectively not though>same models>same armies>no rumors of any major rules shake ups>Most consequential happening is shrinking the setting to just the already mapped portions, which is the only part GW ever referenced or did anything with anyway
>>97801951TGA. Boole, Whitefang, WBMU and the other two less credible bums THW and Krud something.
>>97801957Read the source you provided, they said there'll be 5th edition. Not squatting, not end of AoS.
>>97801962They said the end of AoS, Sigmar dies (not disappears, not goes into hiding for later, he gets slaughtered like a child ) and the setting will be called The Last World.
>>97801966Do you struggle reading this much? That's not what they said outside of Sigmar being killed. Read your own image.
>>97801966No, they said the game will still be called Age of Sigmar. Last World is just the name of the planet, replacing The Mortal RealmsThe fact that you obviously can't read is really not lending you any credibility.
>>97801971nah I think you need to learn to read. Its getting a 5th editon man. Cmon, I know you probably got fucked with by your boss today but you shouldnt be this much of a loser.
>>97801971>expecting a bad faith shitposter to know what they're talking about beyond the most basic, inflammatory word-soup
>>97801977Right, it's getting 5th edition. Not being squatted. Glad you learned to read.
Ill leave you copers to it, just don't lie to new people getting into it about the squatting or I will be back.
>>97801988>lie But no one, outside of you of course, was.
