Now that the dust has settled, was 4e really that bad?
>>98089900Eeeh, it plays well, but overall is just bland.But im a 2nd ed purist, i have become the grog i used to make fun of
Best way to make physical shadow effects would just be to take some cotton/wool and manipulate it on a model right? Was thinking about trying to make a shadowy cape like what blood knights have on some of their art. Afraid it might look scuffed though.
>>98089783>>98089809I remember someone slapped these on 25mm bases and used them as squigs.
>>98089865>>Thread questions:>1)How do you feel about your faction's unique endless spells and/or manifestations?
>>98089865>2)How do you feel about spells, lores, manifestations, and everything else that has to do with how magic is handled in the rules and models in the game right now? What would you change or like to see?I would enjoy if factions had options to more generic spells or more options for lores. I would enjoy if endless spells came at a premium but I could pick and choose and also they were more effective, I'd also enjoy if bringing an RoR let you bring their endless spells like Lumineth and Tzeentch get.
>>98089865>tq>what would you like to see?>>98089972I've heard rumours that lizards are supposed to get a coatl manifestation when their tome drops, but also that the coatl in question will be a regular unit (with mounted skink)
>>98089555In Realms of Chaos he was the one with shittiest gifts and the most amount of awful mutations on random reward chart.
>>98090033>coatl>with mounted skinkI WANT IT
>>98090081Kill yourself, furfag newcancer.
>>980898651: the new warclans endless spells are decent, although i wish krulez and jawz had their own sets.2: overall i think wizards are in a good spot in terms of power. effective, but not obscene like 2nd and 3rd edition. i do think they should bring back 6 spells/prayers per lore, and also do a core set of realm lores. lore of shadow, lore of metal, lore of fire, etc like they had in fantasy, just like there's a list of core endless spell manifestation lores available to everyone, there should be a list of core regular lores available to everyone.
>>98090081based pic who's the artist
>>98090108are you ok anon>>98090116dunno, I saved it from this very general some time ago
>>98090108Wouldn't that be one of those scalies?>>98090111>and also do a core set of realm loresI agree, would be nice
>hobgrot truther>only models aside from the "basic" ones are the chorf peasant ones that look like ass and the monopose sloppa boss thats 6/10 at bestJust put me out of my misery
>>98090143yeah the problem is right now its a complete crapshoot, most armies only get a single lore with 3 spells, an if that lore happens to suck (cough cough gloomspite cough cough), you dont have any generic options to fall back on apart from the endless spells which cap out at 3 or 4 casts max, so if you want to run a wizard heavy army (like gitz) but have a lore that sucks (like gitz) you're just kinda up shits creek, and having some generic realm themed core lores would alleviate that a lot, as well as being very thematic for the game
>>98090160maybe you should have considered not building an identity around a single unit
Back to the single life I guess, ANONS post some models to help me stay sane. Here's the top of a terrain piece I was working on with the note of the WINDS OF MAGIC!
>>98090108>>98090116duality of man
>>98090160I actually find the chorf ones the better looking of the two since they don't show off the godawful proportions of hobgrots like the dominion ones do.I get that those were also kind of present in the oldhammer chorf stuff but damn gw that was not the fucking direction to go. Should've just gone with the random jurchen stuff from the wfrpg.Anyway, anon I think in your situation it's best to just bite the bullet and start converting. Gitmob seems like a good start. Otherwise you'll be stuck with like one new Hobgrot sculpt a decade, if you're lucky.>>98090185I'm sorry to hear that anon, I really like the oxidization effect on the terrain if that helps...
>>98090239>I really like the oxidization effect on the terrain if that helps...Appreciated on both ends of things, it's part of my ongoing Terrain work gotta get as much shyishy stuff done up before I wind up with my cogfort and cities stuff.
>>98089865>1)How do you feel about your faction's unique endless spells and/or manifestations?I'm sure they'll be amazing, just like everything else to do with the Kurnothi :D
>>98090185Single life ain't all that bad anon, you're gonna be fine. Here's a Stegadon I finished a couple days ago
>>98089938Ima be honest, never liked how stuff like whool and fake fur look on the models as for me it just seems like breaking the artstyle, i would rather try 3d proonting some transparent stuff or greenstuffing and painting it with a gradient
>>98089938>right?wrong
>>98089865>TQNot sure how much of a hot take it is, but i would prefer for distinction between normal and endless spell to be removed, and endless spells to just turns to spells with tokens that remain in the game for some time, making them a part of bigger lores which would have both normal spells and spells that use models
>>98090286>Single life ain't all that bad anonEh I'll live, just one of those "everythings going fine until it isn't" moments.And side note your stuff is always so god damn nice. Wonderful highlighting on those gems too like holy shit homey.
>>98089865How many factions have gone through rereleases or re-imaginings over the years? I know stormcast went full refresh and hit the ozempic and I just learned Cities of Sigmar used to be a multiracial bunch of fantasy order models. Any other armies go through something similar?
>>98090286The details on the pedstal and the banners are so fucking crisp man.
>>98090659I'd say stormcast and especially CoS are the big ones yeah. Soon to be joined by fyreslayers and DoKI suppose in a way you can also count the soup books? Ironjawz suddenly having to share a tome with kb and bonesplitterz, or the ogres coming together (though they're less distinct obviously).Other than that there's not much that jumps out to me off the top of my head. Maybe legions of azgorh -> helsmiths though that's obviously a stretch.Speaking of, bring him back gw.
>>98090659Orks if you count the unga bunga cavemen orcs getting squatted but that's not really a refresh. DoK have become more weird and scary over time, Fyreslayers are about to basically return to a mix of regular dwarves and crazy dwarves.Soulblight swapped to having mostly crazy wolf vampires but I don't think that's the primary focus mostly just a subfaction.
>>98089910Me and you both anon.I used to make fun of the WFB grogs, but now I long to go back to the beginning.2e was great as a stormcast player, my rules were full of flavour and the lore was a great balance of noblebright with hints of a darker shadow. 4e stripped all the SOVL from the games, and leant way to far into grimdark/edgy dark souls cast. I want to go back.... I hope they retcons everything.
>>98090682>Super scary priest of a chaos god, known as The Executioner>Noone will ever take you seriously because your name is ShartFeel bad for him
Not even a furfag much less a skaven fag but that deathmaster trailer is cool.
>>98090906Im just dissapointed its not a Styx clone
>>98090911I’m honestly surprised fantasy/aos doesn’t have ninja greenskins. Though I guess that runs counter intuitive to the whole waaaggh thing. Would probably clash with Kruel boyz visually too.
>>98090929there's one ninja gnoblar accompanying the ninja ogre, and the sneaky stabbers
>>98091009If those wankers ever comeback, they will be the wolffuckers wont they?
>>98091027probably not, wolffuckers are cavalry only, while the concept of the unit was originally for hobgoblins
>>98090929Too high fantasy for Orks. It would never work.
I've never played AoS or any kind of tabletop game for that matter but was thinking of trying it. How much skill is involved? People at my LGS were saying there's like no skill for GW games, it's all luck and list building, but they only play TCG so not sure if I should trust their opinions.
>>98091492>it's all luck and list buildingList building is important, but its weird as a complaint from a TCG player.luck is something you are supposed to play around.Single most competitively meaningful GW game in reality is Blood Bowl, yet skillets will say its too random because of the TurnOver mechanic, which ends your turn if you fail an attack/pickup/run/etc roll, being incapable to understand that you are supposed to build your gameplay around avoiding or delaying unlikely rolls.For AoS this mechanic is random turn order and its consequence of DoubleTurns, the entire point is that you should position yourself with the thought that you dont know who will go first.Due to the amount of dice usually thrown stuff like basic attacks is kept pretty consistent, failing a cast roll, or one of those "roll x+ or nothing happens" abilities GW shitted out in 4th can fuck you up, but if your success is reliant on a single roll like that, its your fault for putting yourself in a situation like that.Theres a longer conversation about types of random in gamedesign to be had here, but i dont feel like starting it
>>98090185Adding a hint of color to each section is a nice touch. Good stuff. I haven't done nearly as much as I did last year, but I've also reached a point in the army where purchases are "what do I want" instead of "what do I need", which REALLY kills the impulse buy urge.>>98090286Gorgeous as always, my man. Lizards were my original choice to start AoS with before they showed off IDK, but the urge to buy them is still there. I don't know if I'd want a 3rd Order army, but I really want an army that doesn't require nearly as much thinking as IDK and LRL to play for once. What's your process for those gems, they always look so smooth.>>98091492The "skill" that they're talking about is largely game knowledge, listbuilding, and positioning. I think one of the most important things I've learned about playing is that your objective shouldn't be "How do I achieve my plan", but rather "How do I stop the opponent from achieving their plan?". There's some merit to the "it's all luck and listbuilding" you can have a plan all set out perfectly, or position your units exactly like you want to and the dice can still fuck you over, conversely or simultaneously you can encounter a list that you just cannot answer to, especially when combined with what the battleplan wants you to do. 4e is a fun and solid system, but there is a LOT of missing flavor, sadly.
>warhammer underworlds classed as a "classic video game"
Question for y'all because I'm too stupid to math.What exactly are the odds of the instakill on Arkhan's Curse of Years?I know the average damage is 3ish, but my brain is too small past that
>>98091492one of those cases where the reality really is the cliche: easy to learn, difficult to master.on the lower end with casual pickup games, its a very straightforward and simple game. push your dudes forward, roll some attacks, try to have more guys standing on the objectives than the opponent, and thats about it. you can pick up and learn the basics of how to play in an afternoon, the core rules themselves are pretty simplebut as you face off against higher skill opponents, you need to be more mindful of planning ahead around objectives and battle tactics, have a better grasp of screening, pinning, how pile ins, counter charges and especially redeploys can be used to deny charges, reposition onto objectives, have a better understanding of what every army and unit does and their interactions, understand how to evaluate your own army to determine which units are performers, sleepers, and duds. understand when to push out and when overextending might get you caught out on a double. all of those things come with practice, and often unless your opponents a complete cunt, they'll meet you where you are at your skill level and try not to bowl you over too much. most aos players are pretty chill and would prefer a good back and forth game rather than a brutal blowout. i wouldnt expect any kids gloves if you go to a tournament, but in casual games people tend to play more for fun. i really do recommend if you've never played before, start with spearhead. its smaller but uses the same core rules and mostly the same stats, it plays fast, and its cheaper. its a solidd learning mode and the spearheads they sell work great as a mini army in a box. then once you've got the hang of that, step up to a full 2k game
>>98091629idk the exact number but a regular opponent of mine has been running arkhan at me for the last 10 years and its incredibly fucking high....at least thats what the 60 man grot squads i've lost to it over the years thinktruth, it seems to happen about once every other game. most of the time it does like 3-6 damage, which is still not bad.
>>98091492also if you want to see a game in motion and get an understanding for what you should be thinking about during a game, this guy has some great videos like battle reports and some advice vids on how he plays, and he does a good job explaining his thinking and tactics, and covers objective play very well. https://www.youtube.com/@warpfireminis/videoshe's placed moderately well at some pretty big events in the past, so he knows the game, and his videos are usually pretty short and to the point, well edited.
>>98089970i had those dice. fun to use, pretty impractical because they do really fly off the table. worst part was the paint they used on the claws and teeth and spots wasnt very durable, it rubbed off quite easily.
>>98091492AoS and 40k are both pretty terrible games to start wargaming with. Unless you have people locally playing an older edition of AoS, stay far away from 4th. It's the worst the game has ever been and has caused a mass exodus in popularity and player count. Unironically Spearhead is more played than the core game it spun off from because of how bad the core gameplay is.
>TQ1) They're pretty cool2) it feels to be in an ok place how it plays, I just feel like you need more variety of spells. Also everyone seems to have + to cast and dispelling seems pretty hard. Maybe make it more of a game. You have a pool of dice and need to allocate them, then the dispeller needs to allocate, but they're secret
>>98092135nah, i've played it during every edition. the actual gameplay of 4th is fine, i like it better than 3rd. especially the newest season which made tactics less of a pain in the ass. i do wish they would bring back random realm rules and terrain power rules though. the list building sucks, and subfaction design is easily the worst its ever been. warscroll design overall is okay, could be better, could be worse, i think they over use once per (army), it really is only needed for truly game changing effects but instead it gets blanket applied to everything. i would like to see warscroll command abilities come back, sometimes it feels like guys like killabosses and tyrants and other 5 wound non caster foot doofs dont have enough to do. the game significantly improved some of its design elements though over previous editions. i like the addition of counter charge and redeploy, and the casting and shooting on the opponents turn, made the game more reactive which i think is good. you get decisions on your opponents turn. also they really toned down the long range oppression from shit like lumi sentinels or the spell doms like kroak and teclis and shit, while simultaneously buffing look out sir, so your little utility heroes arent prone to being swept off the board from 36" away anymore and i think thats a huge positive change. there are things i like better about the older editions, and thinks i disliked about them more. i dont think 4e is the dumpster fire people make it out to be on the table though
Drunken thought of the nightSlaanesh should get a battle formation that requires you to have x amount of generic heros to enable its rule, with that being that among your generic heros they can copy rules from named characters such as glutos, the masque, sigvald, etc etc. you obviously also cannot take named characters in this particular formation, and you can’t have multiple characters pretending to be another on turn 1.
>>98091610The digital version with like 5 factions is almost 20 years old. That's retro
>>98091610I wish they made more of that game, it barelly got into nightvault before being discontinued.If they had gone until beastgrave we would have Morgok and the beastman + Kornoth bands to play.
>>98092224Poor fella
>>98092224Man I wish underworlds still had art.
>>98090655>>98090661Thanks!>>98091584What I really like about lizards is the army can be very colorful but still look cohesive. They're extremely fun to paint, too. I always say this but your elves are always fantastic, probably my favorite models that get posted here. As for the gems it's pretty much picrel with some additional blending if needed.
>>98089865What are the factions without any endless spells (or equivalent) at the moment? I can think of seraphon, nurgle, sons, and ogres.
>>98092650cities.
>>98092650
>>98092677Odd that seraphon don't have some (yet). In my mind they're like THE magic faction along with loomies and tzeentch
>>98090286>those gems and eyesI kneelFinally started my chorfs, my last couple of projects were quite dark so these guys are going to be the brightest little fuckers you ever saw. I've seen 5 chorf armies at my local tourneys and they were all red and gold so I have to be contrarian
>>98092677It annoys me that the stock photo of the Skaven sign endless spell has them placed wrong
>>98092712Damn that gold is real cool anon how'd you do it?Between you and the pink chorf anon it seems like our resident helsmith posters like unconventional colour schemes for them.
Are there any kits that you think could get the death rattle treatment and be made “more hobby friendly”? At least for aos, honestly the only thing that comes from my personal experience were the dire wolves, but they weren’t anywhere nearly as bad as the fiddly death rattle kit.
>>98092809Some old push fit kits were basically guaranteed to have gaps, but i think they're all gone now
>>98092809The basic hedonite archers are a fucking pain the asd but I don't see how they could improve it much realistically. Deathrattle skellies had a very specific and relatively simple to fix problem.It is curious that they even bothered though, I thought moulds were too mega uber expensive to justify these kinds of changes? Pleasant surprise I suppose.
>>98092846All you have to do is cut down the pegs a bit, gaps come out because theres air stuck inside
>>98092857>I thought moulds were too mega uber expensive to justify these kinds of changes?Wasnt their original release just repackaging of the Cursed city moulds?
>>98092871no, that's the thing, gw did 3 different skeleton moulds with identical designs in the span of a few years and all 3 were out of scale
>>98092910Okay yeah it is weird, i guess tooling became cheaper/they have enough money to not mind.There was a AdMech character from Blackstone fortress (i think) which originally came on a sprue shared with some other models, but they later retooled him to sell separetly.But Moulds have to be replaced once in a while anyway, and if the change isnt drastic, you just tool it differently, they probably have a fully rigged skeletonbase with a bunch of bits made, so they just have to take those models, give them different poses/random new bits, and into production it goes
>>98092910>and all 3 were out of scaleThey were? How did they even fuck that up?
>>98092943Boardgame human models are usually notaciblity bigger than normal ones, essentially Primaris scale
>>98092986How fuckin huge is the ogre then?
>>98092986Oh I thought you meant they were out of scale with each other lelBut yeah the deathrattle are like a head taller than the older skellies
>>98092996Ogre funnily enough is normal sized, maybe a bit taller if you would T-pose them>>98092999It wasnt me who said that, just had minis on hand to show the point
>>98092932>But Moulds have to be replaced once in a while anywaySlightly related but I've heard it said that the original forsaken mould got damaged in some way, and because it sold so shit they didn't bother replacing it when aos rolled around and discontinued the kit, despite it only being like 2 years old at the time.
>>98092712Appreciated anon, here's a close-up for your trouble, I'll stop spamming now. I like using vibrant colors myself so I dig your scheme so far.
>>98093017IDk about the forsaken, but there was a Dwarf lord multipart kit for 7th ed fantasy, but the mould cracked so they decided to just not release the miniature. Very few ones are actually in the wild as a result
>>98093029Your shit is ridiculous anon (complimentary)>>98093030That must've sucked for dwarf players. Reminds of how othar technically never got any official announcements or anything he just showed up one day. I wonder which intern fucked that one up. Though I think maybe he got an official mention on the japanese twitter of gw or some shit like that
>>98092774This is the recipe, in a less shit photo you'd see how slapdash I've done it but from a distance it's pretty convincing thanks to the high contrast, it's a gaming army so I'm not agonizing over the niceties
>>98090160Modify Gitmob models to have Hobgrot faces and just play them as GSG. That's kind of what I'm doing (well technically I'm doing it in TOW with O&G rules but it's all AoS models anyway).
>>98093397>Modify Gitmob models to have Hobgrot facesThat means just painting them yellow.If anything you would want to change the armour and hat.
OG cogfort or new cogfort?
>>98092809Any cavalry or cavalry/monster heroes where the rider can’t be assembled completely and separately from the mount.
Have the pdfs for the Sylvaneth and/or DOK 4th edition battletomes been released yet?
>>98090033Finally a real Coatl model. If it looks like the abomination in Total War I'll kill somebody. It better be a cool winged serpent.
>>98093432No.
>>98093411>OG Nah
>>98093502Agreed, I swear to god if they base the model on this garbage I'm going to be fucking fuming
>>98093502>>98093613Why the fuck did they go with that fugly version anyway?For what it's worth there's a baby coatl on the slann model and it's just a normal ass snake with wings so we're probably in the clear.I would like something based on the gallagher art personally, with a cool mask (maybe optional).
>>98093653>Why the fuck did they go with that fugly version anyway?because they modelled it off the one article where gw shows a conversion for it using a dragon headstill not a beak though
>>98093751Probably misenterpretation of the paintjob
>>98093653Because they're retarded and went off of a terrible one-off conversion instead of the official artwork that had already existed for the Coatl AND ignoring an even older model that existed in 2nd ed Fantasy. Fucking jackasses.>>98093653I love the mask on the snake. I'd be down if there were both Coatls and feathered land serpents like this.
>>98093751>>98093796There was a schizo in /twg/ claiming the reason they did this is because aos was going to use the normal coatl look and gw wouldn't allow them to use it or some shit. Obviously retarded but it was pretty funny seeing him try and convince people it was aos' fault.
>>98093653Another piece of the Gallagher Concept art has a beak like thing on a Coatl-like creature
>>98093866This feels a lot more draconic than the full-on tw beak, still I prefer the normal serpent face.
>>98093843>There was a schizo in /twg/Many such cases
>>98094010I can imagineOnly reason I know of this particular one is cause he was crossposting over here
>>98093400Hobgrots have smaller noses and jutting fangs
>>98093400goblin phrenology experts will dispute this
>>98094029Hobgrots have flatter, broader, noses. Grots all have pointy noses be it beaked or bridged
>>98094090
>>98094090I really wish vandals complimented KB Hobgrots It's like Gitmob all over again
>>98094095I hate this model so much
>>98094029>>98094079>>98094090it don't matter
>>98094165put an elf head on a human
>>98094307is that supposed to be a gotcha of some kind? you can do that fine
Maybe this would better fit the wfg thread but since we had a couple good painters in today I figured I'd ask here, but does anyone know how you'd go about creating the kind of dark gemstone (or whatever) look of the sphinx' skull? And would it work on a smaller scale, like a nornal deathrattle skull?Most guides I've seen for this model seem to skip that particular look of the stone. I guess it kind of looks similar to how you'd achieve a marble effect?
Unsure if this thread is the right place to ask this but...Does anyone play Soulbound???I've been wanting to try it cause I love the setting but I'm broke and can't find anything onlineMy usual sources only have the core rules and the occasional adventures, and I'd really like to have access to at least Champions of OrderIs there somewhere I'm missing or is it just that nobody cares enough about the game to put it up in pirate sites?
>>98093411Both look like total fucking shit.
>>98094729>would it work on a smaller scaleIt probably would but it'd be more difficult since you'd need to scale it down as in make the lines finer and smaller.>I guess it kind of looks similar to how you'd achieve a marble effectThat's my guess. Can't think of any shortcuts to make it faster or easier though, you'd probably just have to paint a lot of fine lines/squiggles and gradually brighten them up
>>98094729literally check youtube for video guides."paint necrosphinx" or "how to paint marble bases."
Does anyone know of a proonter/stl who does some decent veiled female/male heads
>>98094839>Most guides I've seen for this model seem to skip that particular look of the stone.
>>98094729Seems to me like the midtones are the least prominent part of the paintjob, so you largely do a dark color, lay a thin foundation for the highlights/white with the midtone, and then the highlights/whites will cover most of the midtone.
>>98090682>spoiler to what? More snake ladies or More monster girls?Or do we get more of Krethusa stuff? Because to me it feels like the range is pretty solid. Unless it will be more Burqa elves then we have reasons to be worried.
>>98094978Malerion.
>>98094978>
I honestly wish the new dark elves were wearing burqas, I could use some veiled heads.
>>98095085If nothing else the fallout would've been funny
>>98095085Surely there are some scans of the Malys veil head form 40kOr people with spares since it is an optional build
Anons, I need help. The silver tower Warhammer quest game - how can I get the stats for the additional heroes without shelling out 100 bucks for the cards? Is there a cracked app anywhere?
>>98095113There's a guy in this thread with a massive fucking collection of all kinds of battletomes and stories and white dwarfs and whatnot. He might have the silver tower hero card pack, you'd have to ask him.Failing that ask around on the warhammer quest reddit, someone'll probably dm it to you
Things would be so much simpler if we had a mega in here. Every other general does.
>>98095227It keeps being struck down.
>>98095227The thing is it kinda costs money to keep a mega up, also people do inevitably report it.
>>98095227Every other general doesn't have to deal with butthurt consolewar autists mass reporting their shitThat being said, there was some talk of giving it another go since it's been a while.
Are the Daughters of Khaine all going to be covered up because they censored the Hags?
>>98095243Yep, they’re redoing all of the monster girls to wear yoga pants instead.
>>98095243No but they will be unable to attend the battle without a male Umbraneth companion
>>98095245Can't tell if serious or sarcastic.>>98095249Umbraneth is never coming.
>>98095243yes
>>98095263>Umbreneth is never coming.It's only a matter of time.
The day malerion comes back is the day when slaanesh stops being cucked.
Damn, really thought they'd be bigger, still a cool model regardless.(this is not my model)
>>98095304Umbraneth come out with a new wave of Slaanesh models in a vs box
>>98095324Boobs
>>98095263>Umbraneth is never comingAllow me to give a brief chronological overview of some elf related stuff in AoS>2015>end times etc>high elves and dark elves become a bunch of fragmented microfactions>most would eventually find their home in CoS>2019>almost all remaining high elf models squatted from AoS>june 2020>lumineth launched>may 2026>almost all remaining dark elf models squatted from aos>...
>>98095324Look at what city living does to a fat lad and a "big" lady. I want to see proper ogres and gargants next to them now too.
>>98094978Nobody cares for Krethusa. I mean she was a nice addition and gave some depth for the faction but they did nothing with her.
>>98095263>Over in Ulguroth, they only introduce Morathi, which is kind of strange, since the Umbraneth were basically ready to go a long time agoThey're ready and waiting to come
If that death master game really looks like that and that wasn’t just trailer porn I might actually buy it even though I fucking hate Skaven
>>98095085Only if covered faces mean more exposed bodies.Like the muzzies who wear head scarves here but have crack diver yoga pants with full puss on display
>>98095394Ah yes the old nobody cares about this thing GW won’t let anyone care about
>>98095335DoK got BlackguardThey will probably get Dark shards (again) alongside new Warlocks
>>98095324grim
>>98095457Skaven really do get everything ever. See Total War.
>>98095488Tbagging the ogor while chomping on the ‘umie like a teriyaki on a stick
>>98095488Jesus Christ the big guy could mog the city dweller with his pants bulge alone.It looks like the City Gargant is about half the size based on the size of the ogre. The absolute state of city boys
>>98095506That's why they get the pole on their back, it's garglet cope. Like shoe lifts for us.
>>98095535I had this exact though right after I pressed post. It's the perfect compensating height since in the gargant it makes them slightly taller than they tall ones.
>>98095506The City Gargant is as tall as the Fusil Major's lookout, so it's just a head shorter
>>98095506Maybe it's by design, the cities want their gargants big enough to be able to handle most things on the battlefield but not big enough that they'll destroy half a district if they get too drunk one night
>>98095337It's all the human sperm making the children shorter and thinner
>>98095324
>>98089900Was? Still is
Anyone have DoK pdf?
>>98096114I wouldn't mind 'em being a bit bigger but fuck it they're still cool. Would look nice being the front lines and having your giant stupid shield wall.
>>98091492there is a decent bit of skill in the game, some playing around probabilities but the big one is positioning and movement. Movement is not random at all, and positioning screening to block strong units, tag units in combat, position on objectives to block your opponent, this type of stuff is the main skill of the game. Ignore TCG players, they are vacuous hobby abominations; genuinely cant stand tcg players
I've looked through etsy for female heads and its all just slop. Genuinely disappointing.
>>98096358Like anything it's trying to reduce the amount of times you have to deal with random chance. Boost your dice as high as they can go, avoid fights you're gonna lose, make sure your opponent doesn't get to do the shit they want. It's funny that I know all of this but still will get completely bodies because I roll like absolute shit sometimes wherein my opponent crits me into the dirt.
>>98096205I wish
>>98096395play around the assumption that you will roll below average. But also some factions are genuinely harder to do damage with than others. Fuck slaves to darkness and fuck chosen
>>98096447>Fuck slaves to darkness and fuck chosenOnly time I've fought Chosen my Kragnos splatted them into the next dimension. I think I posted a battle report here, we were doing that map wherein the underdog can teleport units between objectives but if there's no room for them they have to walk in from the edge of the board.Only time I've ever gotten the last paths objective, the one where you've gotta be within 3/4ths of the corners of the map and he zapped my gargs away
>>98096457slaves is one of the most popular factions in my city and my friend plays it. So slaves is what ive had the most games against by a decent margin in 4th. Tanky, buffs they get for free, wards and 3d6 charges and belakor, very easy mode faction all the darkoath and demon stuff is pretty whatever thoughpicrel is very old battle against friend, vampire power rangers managed to take down archeon
>>98096114Do you think the city boys are also built like Hank Hill? Or maybe they get a BBL.
>>98096491I wouldn't mind some more variety but I tend to fight the same folks in the community. So far I've seen more SBGL than anything, I wish I could fight more armies desu.
>>98096491Slaves are probably the coolest Chaos faction for me. The god devoted armies almost lean too far into their theme and leave out any room for regular Chaos Warriors who happen to exclusively follow one god. I think Slaanesh is the only one who even really has an "equivalent" to Chaos Chosen. Khorne mostly has nude berserkers, Tzeentch is almost all beastmen, and Nurgle seems to have a Chaos Warrior equivalent but not Chosen.If I were a Chaos boy I'd go Slaves.
>>98096662It also helps they have the biggest range compared to monogods, you've got a wide variety of options to choose from and can even pick some daemons if you run the Be'lakor list (though I don't know why you would, it kinda sucks and you can't pick greaters)
>>98096662i think its good that the chaos chosen equivalents are different to each of the monogod factions. putrid blightkings are the most devoted nurgle followers but because of that they arent like super-soldiers in game like chosen are. If each monogod's most devoted were chosen supersoldier equivalents it would make each faction a lot more formulaic 40k tier slop>>98096652soulblight is probably the least played death faction in my community. Well that and nighthaunt since being mega nerfed by their book coming out
>>98096738>soulblight is probably the least played death faction in my community. Well that and nighthaunt since being mega nerfed by their book coming outI'm gonna be honest I don't think any of the death books have been particularly that good, I was excited for FEC but honestly the changes kinda suck compared to what we had before. I'm gonna say something drastic and say noble deeds points were stupid but gave actual incentive to do shit. NH got nerfed ,SBGL barely got changed, FEC got a sidegrade and lost a bunch of stuff, and OBR got new stuff but had their better stuff get nerf batted.
>>98096447>I'm really excited to finally use my Varanguard>my humble Ironguts almost wiped the unit in a single attackJust hit them harder, lmao.
SHADOW WIZARD MONEY GANGwe love casting spells

Good news, found you a hot elf gf. Bad news, she's bald, blind, and might have to occasionally eat a soul.
>>98096114inaccurate
>>98096528There has to be at least one freak out there who has a gargant doing squats every day so they can get their face sat on by a 10ft wide ass
>>98096931>she's bald, blind, and might have to occasionally eat a soul.So you found her on a LA street?
>>98089865Soon
>>98096987Settra is already playable in The Old World, why the fuck would he be playable in AoS?
>>98096491>ketchuphammerVgh...
>>98096491KINO!
>>98097046You are arguing with a bot
>>98096931I thought this was a dude? Can anyone tell me what is GWs obsession with bald women? Stormcast have loads too.
>>98097267hair get in the way of bits compatibility, armour designs, and posing
>>98097267>I thought this was a dude?He is
>>98097267That's the male protagonist of the idoneth book, though idoneth are just bald in general.It's a bit inconsistent if akhelians are always bald, but namarti certainly are.I personally would like it if namarti are born bald, but akhelians have to shave themselves to better maneuver underwater etc. It feeds into the plot hook introduced with mathaela that namarti are closer to the 'true form' of the idoneth, as they are better adapted to their new submarine environment, whereas akhelians are basically still just elves and need to alter their body and use magic to actually survive in the depths.
>>98097295The solution: topknots.
>>98097457now you get it
>>98094978When malerion shows up everything points towards them getting souped with DoK. The game has been capped at 24 tomes since mid 2nd edition (with sons of behemat), and for whatever reason they've decided not to go over that for now. It's why kb didn't get their own tome, or why we only finally got a new one once a slot was freed up by beastmen going the way of the dodo.Also DoK only have like 5 kits anyway
>>98097535For non heroes, yeah if you don't count the dual buildWA/SOSStalkers/SistersHeart renders/liferakersShadow stalkersBlood Hags
>>98097267It's a male (female) Aelf All Elves are built for big human cock
>>98097267Stormcast are warrior women, they have a lot of punk/pop culture viking/military styles as it suits their theming. There's no agenda.
>>98097608>sotrmcasts are warrior women >there's no agenda
Oh boy another one of these
>>98097267The joke was that Anon depicitng himself as the Deepkin prince found a gf (who is an ugly thrall).How the fuck did you not get it?
>>98090682I want him back bros, also I’d love a generic Bull Centaur hero
>>98090682Shartor loses 99% of his aura when you realize he doesn't have a face plate, but only beard armor
>>98097780Dual build sharty/generic tauruk would be ideal>>98097782I will not forgive the anon who first pointed it out to me
What is /aosg/'s opinion on the ""new"" blood knights? I go back and forth between disliking and liking them. I'd like to make a full skeleton army and I'm trying to think of a good way to do skeleton themed blood knights beyond just replacing their heads with skelly ones. They're so big so I don't think I'd have any choice beyond using the models themselves as a base, but besides the aforementioned headswaps I wouldn't know how to skellify them much.
>>98097958Dislike the helmets with exposed moths, otherwise they are cool
>>98097958Too feminine, they're ok vampire knights but they're bad blood dragon knights.
>>98098016Isn't that kind of a requisite for a vampire?
>>98098071They are absolute wristcels for some reason
Played my first 1k point game today. My Nurgle vs DoK. It wasn't too much more complex than spearhead. we didn't use a specific battle pack just put some obj around the map and terrain.My opponent brought manifestations and I didn't but I still managed to win. I won 27-18 but I think if he didn't have to leave and we played the last round he would have scored more. He brought the dankhold troggoth RoR and charged it into my sloven knights round 1 who gave it strikes last, then I piled in with my Harbinger of decay and killed it. Felt kind of bad but then I whiffed my General's 2+ and 3+ rolls to give my rotswords +1 attacks back to back so their damage really suffered while they still had models to maximize that damage.Anyway it took us almost 3.5 hours to complete since it was our first time. Question: The last line of the Unbind ability reads "this reaction cannot be used more than once per casting roll"what exactly does this mean in context?
>>98097046Not what the post is about + fell for a bot
>Character is partially defined by rings he wears>Completely omit the rings in his second modelWhy would they do this?
>>98098380He upgraded his rings to a Chasity cage. It’s mandatory in lahmia society now.
>>98098392Sounds like something Neferata would do to an upstar male vampire of her bloodline who doesn't obey her every command.I would try to sculpt on the rings in greenstuff if I got the Blades kit. Maybe after I build and paint his first superior model.
>>98098399Are his books decent?
>>98098403I've heard they're good. I have an audiobook backlog to get through so maybe I'll pick them up at some point.
>>98098380Small indie miniature company please understand
>>98098380He's wearing them on his cock. yes, both of them.>>98096447I know we like to shit on fyreslayers but this art specifically goes hard
