>>98069258>tqDeath, holy death (yes that's his actual username) vs his dark elf army circa 2015
>>98069258>TQSigmar vs Nagash
>TQEither Battle of Finuval Plain or the Circle of Blood campaign. Grudge of Drong is pretty cool too.
Finished basing the stuff I painted so far.
>>98069318
>>98069271I wish they would redo the Sigmar and Nagash novels with covers that have a more accurate artstyle.
>>98069318>>98069323These are some beautiful minis anon, nice job
>>98069258the Siege of Praag
>>98069323>>98069318A moſt greene & plaisant lande
>>98069261>plays stormcast nowNever take dolls this seriously.
>>98069346For real. It looks like they got someone who's entire portfolio up to that point was covers of trashy novels for women in they're 40's. For fuck's sake we KNOW what Ghal Maraz looks like exactly. What the fuck even is that hammer?
Well this was a huge disappointment. I expected better sculpt quality based on the reveal trailer. What the fuck is this giant block of plastic pretending to be a loin cloth?
>>98069975>What the fuck is this giant block of plastic pretending to be a loin cloth?that is 'we want to make these as cheap as possible and fit as many as we can in a sprue'the actual skull wich is the most important part on skellies it's also ugly and boring
>>98070039Okay but what's the cost and for how many?Because that's an old 30mm beveled base and that makes me think of Anima Tactics and Malifaux.
Painted a frostheart phoenix. Currently working on the fire one.
>>98070039Really I expected better from Duncan based on the quality of his paint range. The slightly wonky skulls I could look past, but that just screams low quality model.That sucks ass because they looked like they would make for good Sylvanian skeletons or Grave Guard.
>expecting better from [insert E-celeb] Fools.
>>98070102Do you fly it around while making bird sounds?
>>98069318>>98069323Gorgeous
GRAND Cathay!
>>98070191You Don't?
>>98069975Lmao that's pretty roughSilhouettes were good though
>>98070217fchwooosh whee pewpewpe-Oh course I don't
>>98070213Neat freehand on that banner.
>>98070213If only assembling them wasn't hell.Anyone know good stls? I'm not putting up with GW's abuse.
Starting a Chaos/CSM army and got this bad boy in the mail today.
>>98070213dust your shit. >>98070263pretty sure thats a decal, but I didnt realize you could free hand on them banners till now.
>>98070273How very decadent
FaQ is due next month and we didn't here shit yet since that retard doxxed that brit on Jav's server. Any anons willing to share 100% legit info on FaQs and upcoming stuff?
>>98070336They will fix one thing and make 2 things worse in the process. As is gws motto.
>>98070350The last FAQ fixed a bunch of things and broke nothing. The fuck are you dooming about?
>>98070276You know, now that you say it, I think you can kinda see the outline of the decal on the lower part of it.Or it's just my imagination.>>98070273Fuck yeah, we all need more Slaanesh in our lives.
Plastic dark elves when
>>98070360By the end of the year...probably
>>98070357>broke nothingThe one where they introduced aspiring champions to ride dragons? The one where they completely neutered wood elves and any faction that relied on poison? They walked around the whole monstrous mount issue as well, its not as much of a problem before the 1.5 faq, sure, but its still the best thing for most factions internal lists before anything else, and no, im not counting legacy factions. I could go on. Also fuck off with calling me a doomer, its standard gw fare with their balancing, im not gonna pretend the game is perfect and suck James cock.
>>98069318Sick knights and infantry. I love that each infantry has their own lord as well and are just a loosely assembled mob.
>>98070084no clue, but shitty molding is a sign of cutting corners, there's no other excuse for it in this day and age>>98070120i have already accepted that 7ed skeleton warriors are the best plastic skeletons we are going to get like, ever>>98070102anivia?
>>98070391The FaQ was fine and made Infantry playable.Chaos is fine as long as you aren't a retard.Poison changes were fucking gay to be fair.Cathay did much more damage IMO.
>>98070391>The one where they completely neutered wood elves and any faction that relied on poison?Wood Elves are really good if you use a lot of waywatchers and bows. Keep up with the meta, instead of quoting things as they were almost half a year ago. Wood elf poison with bow spam is still very good. It didn't break anything.
>>98070358Slaanesh models are great. I plan on getting all the Juan Diaz Slaaneshi stuff, hopefully I get to expand my collection with time. Got one Daemonette on Steed by him and that's about it for now, lol.
>>98070411Surely there must be better skeletons at some point. If GW released a skeleton range based on these guys from Underworld they would be a great replacement for the old Fantasy skeletons IMO. It's possible. Someone just needs to do it.
>>98070336best I can do is give you a wishlist of things I want to see.1. a reason to take level 2 and 4 in spell casting. I suggest something light like allowing a single die re-roll on spell gen, or only allowing a signature spell if they aren't level 1.2. Return frenzy to every turn, or at least allow it to work on the turn they get charged.3. Stupid causes the model move its movement characteristic directly forwards. If it touches an enemy it counts as a charge.4. Change Press of Battle to be units in Close order only.
Raaroo!
>>98070414>keep up with the metaI dont think I want to. Im not playing the meta, im trying to play the game, and if the army I like needs me to play "the meta" to see any dynamism, then the faction has been failed. Yes I know we were talking about wood elves so you likely need to play the meta to begin with. >>98070412>made Infantry playable.Made SOME infantry playable, and some more than others. It pretty much just buffed what was already strong to be stronger and everything else is still not worth your attention for most factions. The only thing I can think of that benefited from the new changes that actually made it spike up harder from trash tier was like, empire spear-men?
>>98070525>I dont think I want to. Im not playing the meta>wood elves are ruined by the faq!!!!>no they aren't there are good lists>I don't want to use the good listsLmao k.
>>98070440half of those look silly, and those already evolved into the aos breakdancers and the other warband wich is passable at best> It's possible. Someone just needs to do it.sure they 'tried', yet here we are, nobody seems to want to capture the same aesthetic, it's either too cartoony or plain bad
>>98070540"Good lists" and the shit im looking at is msu archers that somehow makes list building in 40k look better. This is worse than pre faq, people at least seemed to have the liberty of taking sisters of the thorn beforehand. Hell there was even a consideration for rangers. At least people are sometimes taking treekin, but again, msu.
>>98070574>it's either too cartoonyThat should be the ideal. Mantic has the best skeletons on the market, better than the dogshit that are grave guard and the fb skeletons.
>>98070590>Mantic has the best skeletons on the market
>>98070581Ah yes, the wood elves, known for their phalanxes of troops meeting invaders in the sacred woods of Athel Loren…as far from small bands of archers skirmishing and ambushing as you can get. Do you hear yourself?
>>98070599Yes.
>is the best skeleton sculpt in your pathWell well well
>dogshit Oh it’s you lmao. I don’t know why I bother engaging people who showcase that they don’t know anything about the game. Why do I assume you play or have models.
>>98070601>nown for their phalanxes of troops meeting invaders in the sacred woods of Athel LorenWhy yes, I would like for eternal guard to have a purpose for fucking once, how can you tell? I would like my rank, in my rank and flank.
>>98070605Anyone who thinks these guys are bad sculpts is either stupid or a contrarian.>>98070599They have stupid angry skeleton eyes
>>98070620If you want rank and flank don’t play the wood elf bow skirmisher army. Retard.
>>98070607I certainly dont have grave guard anymore after I assembled them, thankfully managed to them off when they went oop. Im genuinely surprised they didnt manage to fall apart when I tried trading them for bits.>>98070629>They have stupid angry skeleton eyesIts what gives them character.
>>98070629I want skeletons, not armor with a skull on it.
>>98070688Wga then if mantic doesn’t suit your desires friend.
>>98070607Skeletons have always been a weird hill for autists to die on.I knew a guy who basically got yelled at for not keeping the 6th ed skeletons in stock over the phone. This was back during covid.
>>98069975>guy who makes C- tier painting videos makes C- tier miniaturesI am SHOCKED!!!!
>>98070735I would do the same for 7th edition VC skeletons.
>>98070744Gonna have to post your paintjobs now anon.
>>98070336No news until the 40k box is up for pre-order in two weeks
>>98070629They give me Army of Darkness vibes.I love them.
>>98070759No he doesn't, beastfaggot. He has my permission.
>>98070756Oh its the same kit.I guess you must've been the autist who called up a hobby store just to complain about them not having a mid kit.Its seriously carried hard by its paint job.
>>98070770>random thread bogeyman Did I hit a nerve nomodels?
>>98070780Dig out your army books. 7th ed skelly kit is not the same as 6th, which was the 5th ed set reboxed a third time with plastic command sprue (also the basis of the TK skellies in 6th).
>>98070780>oh its the same kit Nope, not taking the bait today.
>>98070799>>98070809The same kit as the one I was thinking of. I got my editions mixed up.
Anyone happen to know how the WGA Landsknecht Ogres measure up compared to Empire minis? I was thinking of buying a box to use as Imperial Ogres.
>>98070840This guy compares a bunch of different models, and the WGA ones as wellhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3vomRcrohM
>>98070858Thanks, Dude!
>>98070840I really like the WGA ogres like this. Shame their skeletons are so ass.
>>98070688Valid when it comes to the modern GW skeletons, but the Velmorn warband are Grave Guard, which have always been heavily armored.Hence why the Sepulchral Guard should be a full kit of lightly armored and naked skeletons.
Some progress
>>98070605
>>98063180Given all the Watamote Spaghetti memes and Tomoko's VA marrying an Italian you'd think a Tilean of some sort would've been the better choice
>>98070900Printed and primed my minotaurs. Probably won't be painting them soon because I've got other pieces to finish first, but I wanted to have them for a game coming up.
>>98071241You really are the best.
>>98069975If you want quality you go to the 3D print side of minis. Plastic injection is for cheap and easily kitbashed minis.
Any ideas for locations or wandering encounters and in my Sorcerer's Islands hexcrawl?
>>98071241Disgusting furfag tourist.
>>98071623Brother, I been playing beastmen since 7th edition back when they were the dogshittiest army. I've posted probably over a dozen pictures of my models and at least 3 battle reports with pictures using them. I would have had another today but my opponent bailed cause his ferry was delayed. I'm here for the game, but now with 3d printing (even shitty FDM cause its what I got access too), I can have custom shit for everything. I'm having a great time.
What tech level are the lizardmen on the dragon isles at? Savage ork level or have they ditched weapons alltogether?Kind of want to do some proper caveman lizards.
>>98071746I believe they're described as entirely feral
what do i do from here (3 snotling bases on the way) then what
>>98072037You let me sniff your hobby seat while you wait for gw to do some black ork mtos again. Until then your seat is reserved for me.
>>98071241Damn. What is the studio name you disgusting gooner. I want to print them for my beastman army too. Googling Black Thorn Minotaurs doesnt bring them up.
>>98072037Snotling pump wagons are the only possible answer.
>>98072142No studio, just a bunch of practice using different AI techs chained together. Black thorn and Bleeding rose are the names for my bray herd and wild herd. Can see the images here. >>98071353Here, have the STLs even.https://files.catbox.moe/8uya91.stlhttps://files.catbox.moe/1bfbig.stlhttps://files.catbox.moe/6urvdw.stlhttps://files.catbox.moe/i9lm0j.stl
>>98070799>Dig out your army booksThat would require him to actually have played a single game of Warhammer fantasy.
What's the largest noble family in the empire in terms of living members, byblows, etc?
>>98072142>>98072179Oh, if you do print one though, I'd love to see it painted by someone who isn't a fucking gorilla like me.
>>98071241Disgusting printed PLA slop
>>98072037What the other anon said, hunt down some classic blorcs or maybe some more trolls
>>98071808They are also described as having small villages. Granted, it refers to the skinks who are now prey to the bigger ones, but still.
>>98071746you can do whatever you want with them, except having living slann
>>98070900Is that menghils banner resin or pewter?
>>98072444Thanks heaps! And will do! It might be a couple months though. I work away for work and paint slow when I'm home.
>>98070273Hell yeah, daemons are surprisingly fun in TOW
>>98073239Imagine if they weren't legacy.
>>98073239that staff arm is a bit bent
>>98073294The community will keep legacy armies viable even if they get cut completely in the second edition so I'm not too worried.>>98073304Someone pinned the arm this way and it's stable enough so I didn't want to change it
>What’s the most kino battle in WHFB history?Really love the siege of Lahmia.Underrated
>>98073294>>98073324the great war would be pretty meh without daemons so I doubt they'd stay legacy into second ed.
>>98073304Well, it's a lord of CHANGE innit
>>98073393HH still doesn't have demons outside of Ruinstorm one, so they might stay in legacy
>>98073409the HH range is extremely limited with no plastics so it isn't really the same, plus they are extremely niche in HH compared to fantasy where daemons are inclusions in the biggest faction and are a faction in their own right with five iterations. Also summoning is a playstyle that thus far has been basically omitted from the game but many would want to return.
Question for 7e grogs: if the champion has two hand weapons can he use them even if to the rest of the unit can't? For example when a dwarf thunderer uses two pistols that count as two hand weapons while the rest of the unit would use a hand weapon and a shield or when a dwarf engineer uses the same two pistols while the rest of the warmachine crew uses just hand weapons.
>>98071241Ngl anon, those look really bad and don't jive with the whf beastmen aesthetic at all. They're just too clean and consistent looking from model to model, making them look like a coherent homogenous race rather than a bunch of mutated chaos rape monsters which is what beastmen actually are. And they'll look even worse if you try to do more than one rank of them, looking even less like whf and more like raid night on moon guard.
>that point in a hobby project you realise you're going to have to lock in and learn actual sculpting either with blender or with greenstuff
>>98074336you could pay someone or use slop
>>98074336of those two options, the use of Greenstuff or Handsculpting is probably the easier and more useful to learn one
>>98074336Handsculpting is way way cooler
>>98072037Where did you find these old metal minis?
Holy crap this was miserable to paint. Feels good to be done tho, bought this metal fucker like 20 years ago. Looking forward to using it in my next battle, should be in just a few days.
>>98072037Holy soul anon, extremely greenful army, top job. I wonder if you could help me with something though. I bought the same night goblin leader second hand and I'm puzzled as to what I'm supposed to do with this weird cylindrical protrusion on his hand? Are you supposed to just glue a shield straight on? Shave it off? Because logically with his grip he should hold his shield paralel to himself no? Idk just looks kinda ugly overall. >>98074438I could also jump off a bridge yes, good point>>98074451>>98074466Greenstuff is definitely more sovlful...
>>98074670>Greenstuff is definitely more sovlful...Isn't it mostly sold out now due to the factory making the stuff going under?Guess anon could use Milliput or Tamiya Epoxy putty instead
>>98070273Hope that thing's pinned really well because it's a fucking bitch when it comes to falling apart
>>98074658A very nice result though. Good work.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuXwSyahgW4&list=RDWuXwSyahgW4
>>98074762uncslop
>>98074770Your Billie Eyelash slop won't always be cool either.
>>98074762>>98074770thanks. and i will raise your unc slop with some recently discovered...black unc slop. also appropriately themed.https://youtu.be/jbh-So2eMhs?si=PkuuVqxlK_YJ8Eiy
>>98074670Been working on my Longbeards, they have the exact same protrusion. Old metal Hammerers too. What I do is go case by case. Sometimes I leave it alone and stick the shield on and it fits properly, other times it sticks too far out and I cut it down a little or completely leaving it smooth. Just depends.
>>98074873>>98074670Hammerer. A few of these I've cut the nub down completely so that it *mostly* just blends in with the back of the sculpt, as I simply don't have enough of the old shields that came with these OOP models. Also fwiw these are 1996 meaning there is a little lead in the blend, so keep that in mind if trimming.
>>98074926anons really think they're gonna get lead poisoning from snorting a little lead. Romans ate the stuff daily because they thought it was funny.
Why do keeper of secrets look like that? Do they all have to be a giant?
>>98074670whaa are you overthinking this anon? i had some old shields with a little circular divot in the centre. just glue it on. you won’t notice the nub when its behind a shield idk
>>98074933the fear is overblown but especially if you have kids around definitely you should be careful with flakes/shavings.
>>98075053>if you have kids aroundWhere do you think you are?
>>98074679I already have both an ancient half-stick of miliput I keep in cryogenic stasis in my fridge and an army painter stick of miliput I bought last autumn. It's just that I mainly use them for basic gap filling & making greebles to make kitbashes look more seamless. However what I'm planning to do is sculpting a full set of arms playing a lute onto a torso (for the unit musician), which is a big step beyond in skill I think.>>98074873>>98074926Aha thanks a bunch anon. So as I suspected these originally came with fitting shields to slot on, good to know. I don't have anything like that though, so I guess I'll just cut it off entirely then.>Also fwiw these are 1996 meaning there is a little lead in the blendI did noticed the metal was way softer than what I'm used to with white metal minis... Good to know.>>98074990>whaa are you overthinking this anonYes constantly, both with hobbying and life more generally really. Decision paralysis is my no1 demon.>i had some old shields with a little circular divot in the centreAh yeah that's the thing, my mini came without anything like that and I also have never seen shields like that before (I'm not much of an oldhammer collector) so I wasn't sure what the purpose of the nubs was.
>>98075072>I'm planning to do is sculpting a full set of arms playing a lute onto a torso (for the unit musician), which is a big step beyond in skill I think.That would require some sculpting skills, such as making a wire armature for the arms and then adding weight to them using epoxy putty of your choice and then adding details, which isn't something i've done but if you just modifying an already existing model, it's probably easier to hand-sculpt it than learning to use 3D Max and then printing your pieces
As a newfag to miniatures, I'm getting one(1) singular metal model soon and wondering if I need any special tools for it. Would really rather avoid buying anything for just one model if I can make do without. Mainly wondering if the metal is soft enough that I can carve into it a bit with some cheap knives I don't mind ruining, and if a metal nail file will suffice for filing some bits. It's an older GW character model in about 5 parts if that makes a difference. I know you can reinforce bits by drilling holes and adding little pegs, but this model is pretty small so I would assume glue would be enough? I don't really know.
you guys think this is worth 50 of my finest shekels?
>>98075479Just tell us which model anon, vagueposting like this doesn't really help. *Generally* though, a good superglue and a jeweller's file should me the only tools you'd need for most metal minis. Also don't get what you mean by "carve into it.">>98075121Yeah, the whole wire armature thing is going to be a complete PITA I can see it from here.>printing your piecesFor what its worth I have a good friend that's really into 3d printing and has like 2 fdm and 1 resin printer, so that part at least I wouldn't need to learn to handle.
>>98075479Depends on the size of the model and whether it has multiple parts or not. Larger models in multiple pieces will require a pin vise and two part epoxy glue (or super glue) to hold.>if the metal is soft enough that I can carve into it a bit with some cheap knives... and if a metal nail file will sufficeAnything you normally use on plastic will work on metals. Even sandpaper.>>98075495You're a fucking FOOL if you don't buy these at that price. I recently paid $100 for Lucrezia Belladonna there alone (NIB, but still)
>>9807549550 usd? great deal, love those big booby damsel models.
>>98075479Clippers are a better bet than a modelling knife imo
>>98075495>>98075550Some price estimates for you>5e plastic KOTR$5 each>5e sorceress on foot and mounted$50>5e paladin$70>5e QK metals from their main box$200>Louen Leoncoeur, no hippogryph$50So yeah, any one of these alone would be worth 50 smackers.>t. Bretonnia autist
>>98075479You don't need anything special to work with metal miniatures as opposed to plastic ones with the sole and hopefully obvious exception of needing to use superglue instead of plastic cement.Pinning is a slightly advanced technique that's only important for big or stupidly posed miniatures. You'll be fine, just remember to keep an eye out for wormies (little strands of metal that got shot out of the mould during casting) and remove them (carefully!) before you prime. Some of them can be sneaky.Semi-related, I'm working on a metal model that will serve as a sorcerer of Tzeentch.
>>98075495>15 oop 5th ed KOTRs>2 5th ed oop heros>2 oop damsels>fucking LUCREZIA BELLADONNA50 dolluhs would genuinely be cheap for these if they were recasts
Cheers anons, I'll just use what I've got lying around for the metal fella.
>>98075578>>98075606It comes with 30 bowmen too.
Hey guys I'm a first timer, currently I'm playing in a campaing with some dudes, as the campaing progress the army point gets bigger. Today I got a 250 points boost.So for a lizardmen army which is better to add a troglodon, a stegadon or a bastiladon?
How likely are we to see Vampire Counts come to the Old World with all of the bloodlines represented?
>>98075719Bastiladon is basically a tax every lizardmen army pays it's so essential- boosting your entire army's initiative so they can hit before great weapons at least is extremely important, and the laser when it goes off is pretty much your only decent artillery option (unless you run renegade Salamanders, they're ok also.)
>>98075757lmao
>>98075757Maybe, but not anytime soon
>>98075757>Vamps come back as a proper faction>Sylvania is still fucked up from the failed vampire wars, so narratively it's a bunch of minor Von Carsteins and the other Bloodlines being more active>New plastic models for each bloodline>New skeletons and grave guard>Models for new units like Patchworkmen, Knockers, and Wicker ManNot soon enough that's for damn sure.
Haha, beasts.
>>98075719>>98075769Ill agree that bastilodon is practically a must. Also, a stegodon is borderline WAACfag depending on the current point limit because its close to being the lizardman dragon equivalent. Against some armies in a low point game it could single handedly win the match.
>>98075857You forgot an r
>>98075904>Rhahadoesn't really work as well as ra roo
>>98075636Those monopose plastic bowmen are literally worthless. Metal archers, on the other hand, are practically gold.
>>98075495>>98075550>>98075578>>98075606Oh yeah, and Lucrezia Belladonna is easily like $100 alone. I'd price that set at like $400.
>>98074670I think maybe it was designed for the old shields with the hole in the middle, so that it slots in
Imagine if Warhammer fantasy has such passionate and immersive tables such as this?
>>98075757The YouTuber Pluckee who lives in Nottingham claims to have friends at GW who told him that Dark Elves and Vampire Counts are the first two returning Legacy factions.
>>98076223>it's another nottingham grifterThat being said those do seem like the two most likely armies.
>>98076223>"my buddies dad works for GW, he told me..."
>>98076223He also said we would be getting plastic grail and questing Knights at some point in the nearish future, but that seems pretty unlikely
Decades after pouring over the Tomb Kings supplement from WHFB 6ed that I grabbed via Limerwire as a teen I will be getting the TOW box for the army. Incredibly happy with this, having spent dozens of hours over the years reading and re-reading and all but drooling over the beautiful miniatures pictures with my imagination running wild. I feel stupid buying into the KoW NotTomb Kings army now.
>>98076319You read like a homosexual. Not even a joke.
>>98076319Interesting,.care to share your painted Tomb Kings army?
>>98076319>I will be getting the TOW box for the army.Hasn't it been discontinued recently?
>>98075874>Also, a stegodon is borderline WAACfag depending on the current point limit That's wild that you apparently don't have a single dwarf or empire player in your group- one or two cannon shots & a stegadon is iced
>>98076325I should warn my wife in that case. Thank you for your vigilance, Anon!>>98076326Easy Anon, I need the box before I can paint the army. Unless you mean my KoW stuff in which case I will not be posting it out of shame and thick paint. >>98076327LGS has a few in stock, the owner has one held for me.
>>98076188There is literally not one single TOW player on planet earth who has the dedicated and enthusiasm to build a table like that, let alone play an actual game on it. That's the difference between an actually HOBBYist whose hobby is playing Warhammer, and a TOW fan whose hobby is buying products, and occasionally playing a low effort low reward "game" to justify further spending
>>98076319Based. It’s a really really good box in terms of value. The Rulebook is really nice too in terms of quality. Feels nicer than the 7th/8th edition ones I have. Or sturdier at least.
I sense an angry midget who own no models.
>>98076347It looks like close to 1500 points in TOW, which is great. I normally do not visit the LGS it is at, but I was buying the Wood Elf Battalion for my Wife for her birthday.
>>98076352Closer to 1250 iirc. But you can play around with lists and builds on this website. https://old-world-builder.com/. Whatever you do, make sure to build the cavalry as horse archers and not horsemen.
>>98076330I did mention "against some armies". Dwarfs and Empire can deal with it sure. The point being, its like taking a dragon. A bastilodon feels like adding a fun thematic unit to a good roster. Adding a Stegodon is straight up arms escalation. Which is doubly sad because it's not even on the same level as a dragon It's close though
>>98076359Thank you, I will do that. I am a sucker for skeleton archers. That site looks very helpful!
>>98076319>beautiful minis>Tomb Kings coreBless your heart.Also beware the rulebook is horribly formatted/organized. It's a known issue. I hope you have someone that knows the game to start off. Also don't prime them black, Wraith Bone or just white would be ideal.
>>98076373>the rulebook is horribly formatted/organized. It's a known issueMind-blowing considering GW is the biggest wargaming company in the world with the largest staff and highest budget. There are literal boomers creating solo project wargames in their sheds who get the formatting right first try on an old Windows XP computer
>>98076384GW isn't a wargaming company.
>>98076373The miniatures have a very regally Harryhausen look to them. Hard for me not to love them, even if I ignore my nostalgic yearning to have owned them. There are a few players at the LGS I mainly go to, I will try to grab a PDF of the rulebook and make a spiral bound printed version of the rules for daily use. I was going to grab some Vallejo khaki or white primer, thanks for the warning!
>>98076223Everyone who isn't totally fucking retarded knew this already.>>98076313>plastics for one of the (now) best-selling factions which desperately needs a range refreshLiterally NEVER happening, NEVER!!!!!!
Tomb chads will always be welcome here. May Brendan Frasier smile upon you, alimony warrior.
>>98076384TOW originally was given to the D team retard interns whose only exposure to history/fantasy is Warhammer and shitty MMOs. This is why the rulebooks are formatted like shit, half the new miniatures look like WoWslop, and the sole new BL book was a laughable total embarrassment.
>>98076427>half the new miniatures look like wow slopOutside of the foot knights I cannot think of another example. The releases have been very good.
>>98076384>He thinks GW allocates any budget to rules writersThe games exist to sell models, not the other way around. Making rules for the games is barely better than a minimum wage job
Finished (sans full basing) my beloved little chud puppies. I think they're at a decent tabletop standard, but I'm not 100% happy with them. Any advice on how to push them a step or two up?>>98076319TombCHAD spotted, Ptra be with you anon>>98075857That's from that ancient egyptian furry wargame right?>>98075591I can just imagine him maniacally cackling "Dispel this Sigmoron" while spraying lead towards enemy lines
>>98076475>TombCHAD spotted, Ptra be with you anonBeasts/Warriors/Smattering of Demons and soon Kings. Not sure if I am a chad, but I have armies I love and adore. Thanks Anon.
>>98074291Ok. That is the design I was wanting after all. The army I'm going for is a wood elf sorceress who gets blessed by Slaanesh to get her wish to be a terrorist and torturer. The army is a mix of corrupted woodelves and slaanesh beastwomen.
>>98076188is that lut gholein?
>>98076361Can you guys explain how the stegadon is good with the current rules? I’ve been away for a while and I love Lizardmen. I thought the army sucked for ToW?
>>98076408Useless fantasist.Stop speculating on things you have literally no data on.
>>98076577It can do rampant fuckery with the way the rules are set up involving challenges/stomps, a really heavy statline, and the ability to have 2 guarenteed (possibly 3 with a good roll) magic missles on top of a few shots of poison javelins for good measure. Also giving the +1 to cast to all nearby spell casters means you can have a couple naked skinks doing good work with spells.The army does suck in ToW though. Their few positives aren't aligned with their negatives. They need a point cost decrease on many things, and the poison nerf in 1.5 really gutted their power. Their core tax is heavy even though its a decent unit. They're outgunned, out maneuvered, and out performed in basically every manner. The best way to fix them without making a big change is replace every scaly skin with the actual light/heavy armor and give every unit in the army armored hide 1 (maybe not skinks).
>>98069975Does Games Workshop have the copyright on their skull sculpts or something? Why do Games workshop skeleton heads just blow everyone else away. Very fortunate they just sell a box of skulls.
>>98069975These guys are the best
>>98076427Sorry but that's not an excuse. GW employees are professionals by definition, there is zero reason their rulebook should be worse than some boomers Word doc, D team or otherwise
>>98076551No, it was a game at Partizan 2026, set in the Siege of Lucknow during the Indian Rebellion
>>98076814You’re responding to shitty nomodels bait
>>98076791I need 200 of those little dudes
