>TQDeath hopefully gets a focus next edition >destruction Never ever. Maybe they’ll steal the idea of digganobs and put em in there before they do anything with destruction again.That being said I’d touch greenskins if they remake bone splitters with a more musical theme

Now that the dust has settled, why did the HoH flop?
>>98008706kill yourself, gotenigger
Almost done with my Stegadon. You guys working on anything?
Trying to figure out a colour scheme for a new DoK army. Made some rough mockups of a few ideas just to see what they might look like. Don't know if I'm committed to chocolate elves, but I'm trying to make sure the scheme works if I do decide to throw some in there.Any thoughts or suggestions? I saved the file I was working on, so swapping colours is piss easy. I can whip up suggestions when I get the chance. As a side note, does anyone have the DoK tome?
>>98008926Really like 7. Are you getting sneks too?Praise Morathi.City Of Ash arrived today, time to paint them up in Har Kuron colours
>>98008926no 4 but make the hair more redgo full gerudo
>>98009010>Are you getting sneks too?I got a bunch of stuff secondhand for dirt cheap, so I'm mainly filling gaps at this point. For snakes, I have two sets of blood sisters and one set of blood stalkers.>>98009027Are we talking hard red, or orange-ish red?
>>98009097How are you doing the sneks?
>>98009097idk, just red. it comes in a bunch of different shades across all the games, they've been iterating on them for 30 years. this is the latest version
>>98009134>>98009097some of the older games give their culture an element of serpent iconography on their temples too.but TLDR they're a race of entirely women (except a single once in a generation male who is usually an evil sorcerer), they're all tan, muscular, warrior women from the desert
>>98009151forgot the pic
>>98009151Just like DoK
>>98009126I'll probably start making mock-ups for them tomorrow. So far, the plan is to carry over the schemes I did for the witch elves and see how they turn out. I have a feeling the snake part of their bodies is going to give me some grief, though.>>98009134I think I prefer the greens/blues on the newer gerudos over the hard reds and soft pinks you saw the older gerudos with in Ocarina of Time, like with >>98009157 .
>>98008236>>Mancrusher refreshthere was a mancrusher rrefresh?
>>98009354Supposedly there will be 1.
>>98009195You could do the snake part the same as the leggings
>>98009360Ya know that would explain if they wind up doing wizard garg lady like is supposed to happen, having her just be an upgrade style box similar to brodd.
>>98008781chipping away at my Cities of Ash stuff
>>98009848
I keep forgetting dok is the “majority” woman faction to answer 40ks sister of battle.
>>98010040Actually most women play Sylvaneth
>>98009851Nice headswaps anon>>98008781Very crisp, gems look very good
>>98008203True, but SBGL are the worst part of it. they should go back to TOW.
>>98010247Horrendous take. We’ve seen various blood lines (one even turned into a full blown faction) become more developed than fantasy has done beyond Von cumstains.
>>98008926For me it's 2 or 10
>>98008236I hope the new Tyrant looks suitably monstrous and gross looking. As nice as the current one is it doesn't scream 'tyrant' to me
>>98008706Because people just don't like Age of Shitmar. It's a terrible, uninspiring setting.
Can't wait for 40k hypetrain to be over so that we can see what's in new General's Handbook
>>98010047I don't think that guy was talking about the playerbase anon
>>98010256they dont fit AoS because they are boring and generic. thats why they should go back to TOW.
>>98008926I like 5.
>>98010591Tow can have vc, there's only a handful of shared kits left
>>98010672pretty much all legacy factions have enough old kits to be in both tow and aosstill gw won't allow it because it wants you to buy the one newer kit instead of splitting sales for skeletons or whatever with the older kits
>>98008926I personally just mix colorschemes unit to unit for fun.
Helsmiths have such cool iconography
>>98010707>still gw won't allow it because it wants you to buy the one newer kit instead of splitting sales for skeletons or whatever with the older kitsI mean they seem to have no problem with people doing that for a host of kits like chaos warriors or night goblins.>>98010803They're not stormcast but they're alright :^)seriously the lack of transfers in aos is kind of crazy. Fucking beastmen have them in tow, and you're telling me they couldn't make some for say kharadron or whatever?
>>98010809>I mean they seem to have no problem with people doing that for a host of kits like chaos warriors or night goblins.exceptions
>>98010803Wait wasn't there a bovine skull one?
>>98010888At what point does the exception become the rule? We have three pairs of armies where we'd expect model overlap (WoC/Std, O&G/GSG, WE/Syl), and in all three cases there is>WoC/StD-chaos warriors, knights, chosen, hero, mounted lord, marauders, horse marauders-(not counting the foot lord and chariots since those are literally the same kits)>O&G/GSG-night goblins, goblin wolf riders, goblin wolf chariots, goblin wolf rider boss, night goblin boss, night goblin shaman, the command squad squig rider-if you want to you could also count the black orcs, black orc boss, and the orc boar riders as ironjawz-equivalents>WE/Syl-admittedly the weakest of the pairs but it still has a treelord in both armies, and I feel like the branchwych and branchwraith are comparable models too, and the treekin if you really want to stretch thingsOh and finally we have the giants/gargantsI also feel compelled to point out that technically gw does sell the shitty old 5th edition skeletons, since the current TK skeletons are just those guys with an upgrade sprue thrown in
>>98010707If anything making vc an official The old World™GW-approved™CORE™ army would boost the sales of the the sbgl skellies a little bitI don't think bringing back the older models would siphon much sales away from aos either, at the end of the day aos is the "pretty models" system, you won't see many people choosing to go for the older sculpts (even if they're not that different and much better economically)
>Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Roleplay: Soulbound: Champions of Chaos: Carngrad AdventuresHow many subtitles is too many?
>>98011023In a year or two they'll have to fit the last world in there somewhere too
>>98010591Horrible bait, apply thyself better.
>>98011023Did anyone bother to watch the Warhammer + interview that C7 did?It was apparently partly about Soulbound
>>98011088I wouldn't bother. I've listened to them talk on camera a few times before and they rarely offer any cool insights into their game development. Unless they're there to discuss upcoming content it's most likely not gonna be worthwhile.
>piccolo thread>half a day earlywhy is he like thisalso, surely they announce CoS this sunday right?
>Show Death the love they deserveWDYM, death has way more love than chaos. Every death faction has plenty of new and updated models.
>>98011563>>piccolo thread>>half a day early>why is he like thisAttention starved faggot who thinks being OP of threads on a board with <100 active users is a flex
>>98011616The OP has a point, Nagash hasn't called us his little pogchamp yet
>>98011616yeah bitching about death is weird, they're probably the most up to date and well received GA on averagenot that for example FEC couldn't use some more meat to their range, or NH couldn't get some silhouette's that aren't just bedsheet + weapon for a bit of unit diversity, but on the whole they're doing fine
I thought CoS was getting Halflings?
>>98011721Night haunt is unironically the only army that could use a big dumb centerpiece model. They have zero access to monsters natively (unless the coach was made one for some reason) and I don’t think that’s intentional since it’s not like you can’t have a big dumb monster be a ghost. Hell, they’ve done something sort of like that before with the mourngul, though that’s on an ogre base IIRC. Just make a kit that’s two or three of those things depending on how elite you’d want ‘em to be and some sort of big monster thing that’s adequately spooky and not bedsheet-y and you’d have a near perfect range for them.
>>98008781Excellent as always, my guy. That steggo skin has a real nice texture and volumes.Weather behaved for a small time on Tuesday so I got these dudes varnished but I had to do some correcting on VLR’s shoulder metals because they got dulled too much from a corrective varnish spray.
>>98009848They would look so much better with non-retarded shields. But then I guess it would just be regular warhammer.Good job though.
>>98011891I didn't care much for the shields initially but with literally every unit in the army having them (down to the tanks and gargs) I think there's something pretty fucking cool about that. It's like, if it was one set of dudes with shields I'd feel eh, but since EVERYONE has them I like it.
>>980087813rd out of the 4 Brutes & Bandits warbands done. Now to figure out what i want the Blackpowder guy to look like
>>98011830maybe through underworlds, we weren't expecting halflings in the main wave
>>98011847>Alwrach>Olynder>Coach>ReikenorHow the fuck do they not have centerpiece models?
>>98012024I think he just means a big monster (or non named guy.) Also saying Reikenor but not Kurdoss, COME ON!
>>98012034Kurdoss isn't a big model.
>>98012062He's the same base size as Olynder and Reikenor and about the same size profile
>>98012024Those aren't big models, even the coach is not a very striking silhouette because it extends horizontally rather than vertically, and that matters.By all accounts they should have the mortis engine.
>>98012068i'm dumb, not reikenor I meant to say Alwrach, fuck these names. But Kurdoss and Olynder are in fact on the same base size
Here's some size profiles here and also I Kragnos because why not.
>>98010170Thanks, anon!>>98011864Appreciated anon, both of your elf armies are lovely as well.
>>98009848cool scheme brother
>>98012024Eh I get it, there's a pecking order. Olynder and kurdoss are centrepieces, but only just barely. Reikenor is one rung higher, but not quite part of the big boys. The black coach is a full on centrepiece though, no arguing that.No monsters though. Closest you get is reikenor's pegasus. The solution is simple: ghost dragon
>>98012595They kinda suck though
>>98012595I wouldn't mind some kind of sentient haunted house (as a unit transport) but I guess cogforts are gonna fall into that wheelhouse.
>bought some warmham models. >store tossed me an extra brush in the packageneato.
>>98012632My idea is either an animate hangman’s tree (which can be a “mount” for the executioner hero as well) or a former monarch literally being crushed by the weight of their failures, though I don’t have a defined look for the latter
>>98012758My pitch is a melded together mega ghost consisting of like 10 dudes stitched together a la phalanxMake the fluff that they're former deserters punished by nagash by now being inseparable
>>98012769IMO that kinda thing would work better if they made a promethian/Frankenstein’s monster themed army. Which they should DEFINITELY do by the by. I don’t care if skaven has that as a side theme of a side theme.
>>98012769This would look like fucking shit.
>>98012769I feel like a soulnado could work. Giant batch of ghosts trapped in a forever tornado basically sucking anyone in and murdalizing them.
>>98012808Incarnate of shyish coming in 2032
Seraphon codex when? T rex model when???!!!!
>>98008203After the Kurnothi release at the end of the year.
>>98012921I wanted to say they alredy got one, but apparently they didn't
Does anyone have that one piece of art of cities charging into gargants?
>>98013273I only recal stormcast charing gargants and gargant charging cos
>>98013279I can’t recall the artist but it was a bit faux medieval, so maybe it was fan art?
>>98008203The op is probably aos' best ever battletome cover. Although the first nighthaunt one was great too, by the same artist I think?>>98012921This summer I think>>98013207Iirc the remaining ones are ogres (big release), fyreslayers (big release), Sons of Behemat, seraphon, and slaanesh.Well, and cities of course.
>>98013290If it's fanart you probably mean this
>>98013342Ah, yeah. Thanks!
I think Dawner campaign was a bit slow and boring, but i gotta give GW credit going "we make 2 crusades but only 1 will survive" and stacking one of them with like 10 named characters with plot armors while the other one had nothing going for it and then finishing with the plot armor one losing while the redshirt one actually fucking won was a huge twist
>>98012921the leaks about the last world talk about lizards as being active players together with the dwarfs in one of the opening moves of the apocalypse's narrative.So I'm afraid they're going to be the last tome, or second last with slaanesh not long after.And no rexy, we're to get spells and coatl.
>>98013385sigwmar fucking lied though, the aqshy crusade founded the city and even if the place is ruined it seems like it matters way more than the ghyran city
Ogres refresh reveal when?
>>98013475in the big hungry summer reveal
>>98013475Surely soon, the tyrant and leadbelchers now say old out online
>>98013491I guess we're have to wait for new in online
>>98013485June or July?
>>98013342Kino as fuck>>98013475>>98013485Isn't there a reveal show at the end of the month? Could be revealed then.Though I kind of suspect not, will probably be some smaller tomes like seraphon or slaanesh, maybe sons of behemat with their new mancrushers.
I know no one that plays the Sigmarines. Do people even play them anymore?
>>98013509when are they gonna reveal the preorders for the new cities shit, I'M DYING OVER HERE.
>>98013513Every Japanese person owns them juding by X posts
>>98013516Literally this sunday anon>>98013518Skaventide in general seems to have been pretty succesful ova there
>>98013503Oh you
Snake mock-up is done. Saturation is a bitch.Thoughts?
>>980135579>>98013469I actually completely forgot what happened even though I read them all.I remember everything from Broken Realms though.Why was BR such kino?
>>9801355711 but with something red instead of light green>>98013623BR's only competition for the spot of peak AoS is malign portents
>>98013623>Why was BR such kino?it made bolder moves with more important consequences and bigger characters with each bookexcept the last one because gw were cowards and didn't let the orcs win or reach azyr
>>98013557Test 8
>>98013368>>98013509There's also the other one
>>98013964If only steelhelms actually had polearms Anyway, good stuff. Who's the artist?
>>98011864How did you do the skin on them?
>>98014284Left was some unholy fusion of XV-88, AK medium flesh, and Vallejo Elric flesh with maybe some steel legion drab? I don’t exactly remember because I had to correct the whole thing since I initially used the wrong highlight mixing color. Ice yellow instead of Elfic flesh. The right one went together surprisingly easily. AK Beige Red then added layers of Beige Red mixed with Elfic flesh. 3 or 4 additional layers iirc. Some glazes of the midtones went into the cheeks of both where the base color was largely still present to soften the shadows.
So how is GW going to handle the ogre launch anyway, you guys figure? Something like helsmiths where they drop an army set (actually just a spearhead + battletome) first, and then the rest of the release a couple weeks later?
>>98014702I'd say 90% chance of an army set, yeah.
>>98013662I misread your shit. Here, have two extra versions with red.
>>98013995>If only steelhelms actually had polearmsthats sorta what the grenadiers are
>>98008203death got a lot of love for several editions, it was basically the main character of 2nd through early 4th. new army nighthaunt, new army bonereapers, full soulblight refresh, full FEC expansion/refresh, most of those armies also got additional waves of units. most armies have decent rules and interesting gimmicks. destruction has languished legitimately. GSG have arguably too many range refreshes and expansions, but are plagued by a rules writer who has absolutely zero interest in making them fun or good. ogres are stuck with 20 year old models and for some reason keep getting more glass cannon with every edition despite ogres in lore being so tough they literally sheathe swords in their skin. sons of behemat is actually just 2 models, they couldnt even bother to work out a second pose for the legs in either kit. kruleboyz and ironjawz are both respectively stuck with half an army range each, never getting a truly independent full army roster because GW lumps them together but then also makes it so they do not function together in the rules well at all, having to give up most of their army traits just to be fielded together. destructions a fucking mess.
>>98015033Destro I think is in a rough spot, I do still wish FEC and NH got like... maybe 2 more units that weren't foot heroes and 1 new centerpiece a piece.
>>98015057Feels like there'll never be a day when Destro is not a mess. And somehow IJ comes out as one of the better factions to be in destruction in spite of what you wrong., which is not really a high bar I suppose.
>>98015611I mean I still love SoB, I'm hoping the new unit isn't gonna make me need to get the little shitter gargants. (Unless like I say, the army lets me run the CoS gargs)
>>98009097when you think about it the zora should have lived in an undersea palace in OOT, like in majora, not behind a waterfall.
>>98009097>I got a bunch of stuff secondhand for dirt cheap, so I'm mainly filling gaps at this point. Literally me every time I buy a fucking army nowadays. I wind up with some crazy cheap deal and then have to work my way outwards which usually just means buying heroes.
How do morathis wings work? Are they just ceremonial or do they actually function? Can she stick them up her ass?
>>98015922If we're basing it on literal rules, no they don't work. I imagine they're just to match up with the giant snake morathi.
>>98015922Aren't they metal ornaments?
why did GW decide to abandon AoS so quickly?
>>98016057
>>98015922like this
>>98016228Latin America has more than its fair share of problems but the things they got right they absolutely nailed.
>>98014955Oo, very nice these
>>98016057HoH flop hit them hard according to rumours
>>98013557I think you're focusing too much on colouring within the lines and assessing combinations instead of sitting down to decide what you want the final model to feel like and evoke and walk backwards from it.Do you want them shadowy? bloody? with natural snake patterns? with influences from a particular culture? do you want them statuesque or pragmatic? conventional or exotic?
>>98015922Is current aos morathi celibate?
>>98016492the first time morathi and malerion met in aos she was having an orgy with shadow demonswhat do you think?
>>98016495I think that's an exaggerationWhat I was getting at is does she have elf boy toys lying around or what?
>>98016504>I think that's an exaggerationorgy and lovers are words the rulebooks have actually used for that instance
>>98016492She's a femcel ever since Kharybtar thot patrolled her
>>98016492Yes because sex is icky and bad.Ignore how she had a harem of human men in Fantasy and was way more of a mysandrist racist at the time.
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/dhbmm0ws/warhammer-art-through-the-years-blades-of-khorne/It's khorne weekI do wish they delved more into older whfb art for these kinds of articles, which I know is hardly possible for every faction, but it's more interesting to see how khorne or say lizardmen have evolved from 1983 to 2026, rather than specifically Blades of Khorne™ and Seraphon™ from 2015 to 2026.Speaking of, does anyone know where this art comes from? Kind of looks whfb-ish.
>>98016921I think they could make a fun thing out of it by adding some commentary from someone who's actually on the art team. Like they could get an art director to email them a one or two paragraphs about how the team develops the visual identities of the respective faction, or maybe share the art briefs for the illustrations, or whatever. An image dump of old artwork isn't very exciting on its own.
>>98016939Yeah I agree, I always enjoy designer breaking down the process for minis, would be fun to hear about some of the behind the scenes stuff for art. I also wish they showed us more concept art in general, that's always fun.Kind of odd that GW seems to be kind of pulling back on this kind of stuff, when the massive drive on community engagement circa 2015 is often cited as one of the big reasons why they managed to turn around their dire situation and explode in recent years like they did.
>>98017022Nowadays any piece of concept art that isn't used would be stolen by slop STL patreons tbf
>>98016921>Speaking of, does anyone know where this art comes from? Kind of looks whfb-ish.I remember it from a white dwarf cover, if I had to bet it was made as one of the potential covers for the armybook.
Test scheme for an Ulgu orruk. What do you guys think? Feel like adding a bit of rust to the weapon to add some warmth
>>98017153Look at this guy over here painting a really good fuckin' orc up and doing fantastic work on it. Good job you FUCKER this looks fantastic and you should be PROUD for doing good work.
>>98016465Assessing combinations is sort of what this is for. This is the broad strokes part of planning. When I narrow things down to two or three schemes, then I'll start expanding out details and seeing which one I favour most.As an example, I have a general idea about making the outer facing portions of the snake half of my blood sisters/stalkers a darker/vibrant colour with a pattern overtop, whereas the inner portion will be a more uniform lighter/softer tone. The exact colours or shape of the pattern used is entirely dependent on looser scheme I'm attempting to hammer out here.I generally don't start projects with a detailed end result in mind. I usually start with a few core ideas that I flesh out and add onto as the project goes on.
>>98017165Thanks breh
20 more grimghasts and a couple heroes and I'll be caught up HOLY FUCK. I love when I actually get shit done. (And then don't play the army)
sloven knight wip
>>98017422
>>98017422good lad
Thread is so dead that you can see dust that settled months ago still caked in the corners. Nobody cleaning that shit.They need to start teasing TLW yesterday.
>>98016921>I do wish they delved more into older whfb art for these kinds of articlesthat for a later round of these articles after they done with the AoS ones
>>98017556I do tease it, I call it gay and stupid all the time.
>>98017556>TLWstop pushing this shit, it's not happening.
>>98017561I know, it's just lame. Like splitting up the 40k articles into pre and post 8th edition or something.
>>98017556Constant shitposting from you braindead faggots probably drove a lot of people away from this general. I just hope they have it in them to drop by /wfg/ and shit it up to hell and back like you do, you fucking failed abortion
>>98017576You have "retarded."
>>98017153Pretty cool, but i wonder how it will look on guys that show less skin
>>98008706>be me>lose interest in AoS months ago>after hiatus start painting my minis again >hmmm, I wonder what the boys on /tg/ are up toBro how are you still posting the same exact thing you were posting last year
>>98017780he's been away for a bit oddly enough, suprised he showed back up to the thread.
>>98017589This board has been on the decline for a while. Used to be pretty stable 15k-20k posts a day, then mid 2021 it started falling steadily. Even compared to just last year we had close to 10k posts a day, now we're closer to 5kI feel like in general out of all the main gw games aos is by far the least, shall we say, "consistent with current 4chan culture", so as the more casual users stop visiting this will have a disproportionate effect on /aosg/ speed.
>>98017807I'm fine with the slow pace, I feel like whenever the thread gets packed it's usually a raid from some other thread or a bunch of morons shitting it up. Thankfully we're slow enough here most of the shitters get bored and leave.
>>98017780it's unironically autism or some other kind of mental impairment, regular shitposters get bored of doing shit like this after a while
>>98017813Ironically the slower pace does generally mean better threads simply because there's less chance of shitpostersI'm sure the next time we get some tlw rumpurs pop up we'll ahve a bunch of scrzeaming retard sagain
>>98017844I don't know what the fuck happened at the end of my sentence there, but whatever, still legible
>>98017844That's my thoughts, we got regulars even if it's slow and discussions when they happen are neat.
>>98017428is it easy enough to throw Rotsword heads on them?
So I'm gradually getting the rest of my Idoneth. Does anyone have any strong opinions on what heroes to bring? I like the soulrender conceptually but he seems kinda piddly and a weird little medic unit, just for thralls.
>>98018067Ikon of the Storm is damn near mandatory. Having the old turn 4 tide as a 12” aura is too good.Mathaela is great for chunking monsters/monster heroes and gives a good buff to our best quality attacks.
>>98018081Ikon is showing up soon and I nabbed Mathaela (she's gonna do work since I got 2 turtles and those things look like they'll chunk damn near anything) Only odd thing is I wound up with a reinforced unit of each type of thrall (25 bucks somehow) but I don't think I see anyone hyping them up so they seem pretty... Eh? Having a chaff unit in an army like this feels odd.
