>>98399629I actually like Gideon, from Enemy Within. He’s a proper shitter, and especially fun when you portray him in the body of a precocious brat.
>TQThere’s not a single one. I guess Todd bringer comes to mind but he’s not exactly a favorite of mine.
Could someone help me and identify this model?
>>98399633Sounds good anon. Keep us posted
>>98399660Possibly one of the savage orcs from the 6th edition era?
Made to Order Skavenhttps://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/kmgdy8ll/classic-skaven-miniatures-return-via-made-to-order/
>>98399627tbf it works better since he's not at the forefront leading armies or directly interacting with anyone, he's just scheming and manipulating things from the shadows, which works better for a WFRP antagonist.i was surprised by the amount of Dungeons area's the writers put into this book
Can we start putting a little something about the August painting challenge in the OP? Just a small reminder or something
>>98399733No. Don't fuck with the OP. Ever.We already had one retard shitting it up. Leave it be. Post about it in the thread if you want to promote it.
The new magic system is gay and fake. Bring back winds.Anyways should I go necro or illusion for empire?
>>98399733Sure, write up a small paragraph and ill add it in for the next one
>>98399629I just got some cheap used WoC miniatures, could anyone suggest how could i turn it into a list that makes some sence? I'm not a WAACfag so doesn't have to be super good, just not completly terrible. 19 chaos knights16 chaos warriors2 chariots3 chaos lords/champions on foot1 chaos lord/champion on horse
>>98399761>Anyways should I go necro or illusion for empire?Battle magic desu but if you have to pick one of those go necro
>>98399629>TQI like Theoderic Gauser, Elector-Count of of Nordland, and rightful Prince of Marienburg. I really sympathise with his efforts of building his province and of enforcing his claim over the Westerlands.
Looks like Brettonia LARP stuff is coming sooner rather than later
>>98399697Have they done MTOs on Forgeworld models before?
>>98399671I guess the last question that deserves discussion is CharGen; the concept commands a specific type of person, which means players would be pigeonholed into things like Survivalist, Conquistador, Translator and the sort. There’s an appeal to this, but if there’s an excuse why, say, a Villager is in Lustria than that’s worth exploring too.The easiest solution is to start in Marienburg. The PCs hear about a fabulous chance for adventure, no questions asked beyond competency. Which gets back to the prior issue but offers some chance for adventures in Marienburg to cut their teeth.What I think I need to do is a bait and switch. First book of Enemy Within ending with the PCs being hunted by basically everyone, and they catch wind from the rare ally in Bogenhafen (one of the Wastelander noble families) that they’ve got safe harbor in Marienburg.I don’t know! There are a lot of ways to skin this Skaven.
Can a unit with the all seeing eye declare a charge through woods they aren’t inside?
>>98400018Nm. Im an idiot it says shooting
>>98399697>SpinetailDoes that guy ever got a profile with stat and items ?
>>98399660looks familiar but i cant find it exactly. i feel like i remember seeing a goblin/snotling luring something in and hiding a club behind its back and his ass was kinda out like that……>>98399697>all shit sculptscool
didn't notice until today that TOW is getting a lot of resentment from the other games now, interesting.
>>98399571That is incredibly helpful to know, thank you once more Anon! Fantasy has been very cool to look at as more than a line of interesting miniatures.As for your other comment, narrative, charm and cool are my eternal preference and first pick.Otherwise I would not be running my Greenskin lads as The Elector-Boss of Morkenberg and his Magnificent Menagerie, let alone writing so much fluff for it. Also will have some Ungor and possibly a Ghorgon as part of the menagerie as allies, since I already own the models. It is all sorts of silly.
>>98400264?
are veteran state troopers worth it? is drilled worth it for them?
>>98399979A good question. I don't think so?As far as I recall, all returning FW models were permanent. I do remember that with the Warwagon MTO they included a resin Engineer, but by then FW was merged into GW.
>>98399660ahh i see, is it this goblin? spear chukka goblin pulling the lever and holding up his drawls
PRÖÖÖÖÖH!
>>98400287
>>98400268I'd guess it's the YT coverage rubbing it in the faces of players after recent 40k and heresy disaster launches.
>>98400295I genuinely have no idea what any of this means, coverage of what?
>TQ: My girl Repanse de Lyonesse used to get me laughed at. Then TWW came out and now she's cool.In other news, I think I'm happy with my hippogryph wings
>>98399825i'm actually really looking forward to this
>>98400364£8 for pin seems overpriced
>>98400378i mean the bretonnian larp gear in general. i expect it will all be overpriced but i'm looking forward to seeing what they have
>>98399825>Officially licensed Oi! Got a license for that pin?
>>98400395It's probably why GW stopped using normal Fleur de Lis coulden't copyright them
>>98400395They won't let you into warhammer world in illegal cosplay
>>98400469That is something GW would try to do though
>>98400282Thanks Anon
>>98400264Other than the usual AoS tranny seethe?
>>98399629>Who's your favorite lesser known/non major Warhammer Fantasy character?Luthor WolfenbalmHonestly the voice actor brought his lines from the old mordheim book to life in the video game
Does anyone have an stl or a decent alternative model for the screaming skull catapult?? I do not feel like paying 64 bucks on this thing.
>>98400783You're game is dying again chuds.I went down to my local game's workshop where I saw a 50 rich families wanting to buy age of sigmar. The children were excitedly looking at the stormcasts and saying, "They look like me!" (some of them were eggs ready to crack like i was at that age) but then some evil chuds said "That game isn't very fun, try whfb or ToW" with his problematic bretonnians (the glorification of catholics is how we get nazi games like trench crudade). And then his skaven playing incel friend said "We'd be happy to teach you a demo", no doubt to groom these kids into neo's like them.All the parents who were going to buy spearhead boxes backed away and were looking at the ToW games. I could feel the misogyny and transphobia flow through like chud aura. I was shaking my hands that nazis could be in this sacred safe space we bipoc LGBTQIAA+- people founded could be so desicrated. Thats when I knew I had to do something. So I shouted "DRUMPH IS A CONVICTED FELON" at the top of my lungs. This woke the parents out of their stupor and half of them bought 3 boxes of spearhead each joined my discord and are even started subbing to my twitch @kittenrancher690w0
>>98400783The Mordheim video game is so good and has flown so under the radar. I keep it installed on my Steam Deck just for relaxed gaming when I need a break from batch painting and building.
The new Chaos Warriors have pretty noticeable mould lines, not as bad as on the older figures but very noticeable compared to the Cathay stuff I have put together. I wonder why the difference.I thought bigger mould lines come from wear and tear.
>>98400812Love it too but it taught me that nothing in this world is less reliable than an 80% chance
>>98400914It made a "grown" man I am sadly acquainted with burst into a crying fit because it was "too unforgiving!"I bought it due to that shining review.
>>98400807I wept tears of joy from my chudinga reading this xister. Fuck ICE!
>>98400807FR who thinks that haircut looks good?Its just ugly dyke haircut
>>98400978
Hows this list?Is the big lector alter wagon worth it? I just kinda want it because it looks cool. Are veterans good?The lore idea is that these are Ostermarkers from the southern town of Nachdorf.

>>9840102020 Veteran State troops isn't enough, better one 30-35 man unit with that standard that gives you extra rank combat res
>>98401051>how to remove the influences of the country this faction was inspired by, because my government doesn't like their government in current year
>>98401060How wide is optimal? I never played tow, just 6th and 8th but my brain likes the old 5 wide 4 deep or 7 wide 3 deep. with 30 am I looking for 6 wide 5 deep?
>>98401051Winged hussars would be fucking great
I wish we got a Bretonnia novel for Old World that actually respected the lore and wasn't awful. I would love to read some knightslop, maybe I should write some fanfiction.
>>98401074Honestly I thought it was a call to embrace more Polish side of kiev
>>98401020>20 state troops What is this, a skirmish game? 40 models per unit minimum, otherwise leave em home
>>98401077OMG just like le reddit Sabaton song hehe!!
>>98401082>>98401060I have no fucking clue if I am being trolled. Like in 8th the only reason you'd have a unit the big was for the gag with High elves where you could have 50 spearmen avalanche a unit that charged you
>>98401051When was this written?
>>98401075Go 6 by 5 or 6 Veteran
>>98401075I would go 7 wide 3 deep over 5 wide 4 deep.>>98401091You are being trolled
>>98401082>>98401091This guy is trolling you.>>98401060This is basically correct. State troops need to be in a big block because they win on combat resolution with the banner.
>>98401091>>98401101This guy is trolling you again. State troops 7 wide is retarded, they aren't there to kill.
>>98401101shit. Well I guess I could make a unit filler so I dont have to paint more. Is the lector good on his alter or should I just put him in a unit?
>>98401051Nobody tell this thick cunt about the German faction bedecked in Teutonic Crosses, skulls and eaglesThough do tell him how GW spells 'Tzar'
>>98401105There's no point in having a 5x4 block of infantry over a 7x3 cause once you take a couple casualties you'll lose the 4th rank bonus anyways
>>98401115It's not actually about removing insensitive icons this was a successful attempt to make Kislev more Polish at the expense of Russia by the Polish lobby.
>>98401089
>>98401091>High elves where you could have 50 spearmen avalanche a unit that charged you>10x5>10 from the first row>10 from the second row>10 from the third row because spears>10 from the fourth row because horde>10 from the fifth row because Matt Ward was the greatest hero who ever worked at GW and gave us Valor of AgesGood. Fucking. Times.
>>98401118You need to go way bigger than 20-21 state troops and you need to take the Griffon Banner, again, because State Troops win on resolution not by killing.
>>98401134I 100% agree with that at least, OP is not getting trolled when people are telling him to bring at least 30 state troops. But if he is dead set on bring 2 units of 20 instead of 1 unit of 40 or whatever 7x3 is still better than 5x4
>>98401077They already had winged hussars back in the day. 4th or 5th edition iirc. >>98401051I talked with the dude who wrote that on fb and he' seems genuinelly schizophrenic, don't give him more attention
>>98401145>the dude who wrote that on fb and he' seems genuinelly schizophreniHow so?
>>98401145>They already had winged hussars back in the day. 4th or 5th edition iirc.Winged Lancers. In TWW too so for sure they will come back. The bear cavalry also has the Polish winged hussar wings.
>>98401157These lame ducks are missing half of their wings
>>98401160They always had a single wing in Warhammer as seen in >>98401051 art. It's a pastiche not a direct translation.
>>98400792I do not feel like spoonfeeding you.Show me evidence of you donating at least a tenner to the needy and I'll graciously provide you with scans.
>>98401157>>98401145I have 10 winged lancers. I also have the old Tsarina model but I use her in my bretonnian army as a prophetess. I just never actually painted them.
So okay, about the kislev thing. So what's next? Making the obvious (not) french who ride horses and opress the poor suddenly come to good terms with peasants?Making the (not) romanian vampires less vampiric?Are they suddenly making the empire not so holy roman empire?Or the orcs not so english hooligans?Is GW literally retarded? Because I can't believe they've removed all russian symbols from kislev just to cater a few eastern europeans who couldn't give two shits about it
>>98401167>Winged Hussars>Posts Crested HussarsI shouldn't need to clarify these are not the same thing.
>>98401115>Chinks sent fan-made Cathay map>GW add Cathay>buthurt slavoids sent essay about not Russian Kislev>GW remove the TzarinaI suppose it's only a matter of time now before some random street-shitter makes a video about how Ind not being a real faction is bad for the izzat.
>>98401194>Are they suddenly making the empire not so holy roman empire?Yes. We need to de-chud and de-catholic code itBehold the character we will have as the first trans empress we have always had in the lore. Send from a realm beyond where sigmar battles chaos
Double wings is "Gryphon Legion".
>>98399169Those are some really nice Araby bashes, thanks anon!Add some desert dogs to the mix and you have the basis for a kino army.I took the liberty to decimate the files and fix some ugly geometry that could cause some print issues. The filesize went down considerably at less than 1% detail loss. Most of the files were ridiculously large, a couple of them were particularly egregious at nearly 1gb for a single infantry figure without having nearly as much detail. The dangers of voxel remeshing, with no cleanup, I suppose.I've reuploaded the fixed files in the following link: https://limewire.com/d/nmNlU#80rDKBbcJF

Rolled 5 (1d20)Alright, the pic is done. Testing.
>>98401400>no drakwald You sir are a bad man
>>98401246It's not even Ukrainian. It's liberal white people in the UK and the US who actually care about this shit. Ukrainians fundamentally know that they share a history with Russia
>>98401406give me a banner of Drakwald, and I'll readily replace Carroburg with it.
>>98401406Does Drakwald even have an official colour scheme?
>>98401400Hochland is BASED and underrepresented on the tabletop. Good roll! But of course we all know #20 is the patricians choice
>>98401417They don't.
>>98401417yes. In my head cannon.Its a green background with two Crossed golden keys and sometimes the outline of a white oak
>>98401426That's a banner anon, i asked for an army scheme.
>>98401020ok with this list I wont need to print the big fucking alter, nor paint more dudes. I just gotta make 2 3x3 rank fillers and now have places for the characters to join.

>>98401246Them being Russian inspired is retarded anyways. Russia was a third world backwater shithole in the Medieval period. Meanwhile the PLC was a global power.

>>98401244I have a lot of Cathay for when I stop seeing my own painting as horrible because I don't want to disrespect Xiang Yu my beloved by fucking up his army so I'm painting some inherited dwarfs. Gonna hopefully pick up another box of warriors if there's some at the store in the city.Got some ideas percolating in the back of my noggin for an illegal VC/Empire list to use in games with my friend, but I think that's probably something for 2027 or beyond
>>98400341You should be anon they look great
>>98401560That would make sense if this setting was literally Medieval Europe. It's a fantasy setting, and you can bend the rules, and it's also renaissance based, a period where Russia was absolutely a regional power. PLC was never a global power dipshit, they barely had a navy.
Ruins your game and let's his fat friend calls you racist.Dare I say it?
I forgot how much fun Mark of Chaos is. Played it as a teen and while I enjoyed it, coming back to it all these years later has me really appreciating the story, the references to earlier Warhammer history and the combat.
When ?
He does realize we can all see that his images comes from facebook, right?Who does he think he's fooling?
>>98402014Never. GW has already gone back to pretending bretonnia doesn't exist

>>98399218 like >>98399249 said, the PCs destroy a Morrslieb derstroying canon along the way
>>98399979There's a trio of Leaders from the empire range which were FW models, still in resin and still available.
>>98400270WS4 is better than WS3, and re-roll Leadership tests is always good.Drilled..meh, depends on how wide you got your regiment, to maximise your front rank before charging something, but I wouldn't count on that much to be a game changer IMO
Has the Battle March release date been announced yet?
>>98401194They added a wife and children to Karl Franz in WFRP 4th, alongside some bastard he got with a cousin, since some jerk off wrote a novel and added those randos in it, what a fuckin waste of paper and ink, all that recton is stupid as hell.And for those who want to run TEW, the 5th book is complete crap, the PCs spend the first half doing nothing, only reacting when NPCs ask for their opinion on mundane matters. Another one I'll have to mod 90% of the content to fit my players and actual logic.
>>98401244>>98401249Nicely done Anon, and welcome to the Herd!I'm working on my Infantry for the painting contest. 'should have a pic later tonight if I don't drink too much
>>98401400>>98401406Here you go Anon, enjoy!
>>98401927https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rmu3Jk25RsJust the story bits.Gameplay is great, but it is repetitive after a while. I'm still ithching to paly it.Battle March wasn't as great, yet again I don't care much for Greenskins and the Dark Elves.
>>98402468And on a side note, the last Dragon in the Empire was slain by the 3rd Emperor, which was from the Darkwald, hence the Horn being made from one of Dragon hornThere was also a concept art about a woman noble, the daughter of the Bernhardt the Brave, who took upon herself ot leat the knights after her father's death. I cannot find it, sadly, it was actually intresting to have a Empire noble lady take charge (and agian being alone i her situation makes her badass, as the Bretonnian Joan of Arc , no need for 23534653 women fighting for the Empire.)
So what is battle march?Is it like the old warbands version of the game from 6e?
>>98402484>Warrior priest goes super saiyanReminds me of some other old trailer or cinematic where one tried the same thing only for the chaos warrior he was fighting to kick him in the groin or stomach mid powerup
>savage orcs used to be $60 for 20 bodies >savage orcs on 10 boars were also $60 Meanwhile standard orcs are 32 for like $80 or something. What the fuck man.
>>98402627Yes, but much less flavour
>>98402762That's the teaser cinematic for Warhammer onlinehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JglnSrfJtyQat the end
>>98400812I'm not that into it personally, but I still appreciate that it exists because even today you can pick any five random nuGW victims and show them the intro cinematic and it's like feeding Popeye spinach all the faggotry just vanishes and they immediately want to know all about Mordheim & WHFB.
>>98400911Mold lines can also happen if they're running a set of molds really hard. If they're cycling them as fast as possible the heat can build up a little, things don't fit quite as perfectly as ideal. You can sometimes spot other signs like little swirly artifacts in the colour of the plastic or small dimples in the sprue runners.
>>98402468This shit is mega uncanon now though. But it's not like anything's ever contradicted the heraldry.
Why don't the humans just stop being greedy retards and let the Dwarfs build them sick ass fortresses?
>>98402484>We just can't match the genius of the Steamtank, it's beyond out intellect!>Proceeds to build a steam powered megalopolis on wheels.
How do you guys keep your liche priests safe? Putting them in a unit feels a bit weird, especially if they get charged. Behind the unit they can't see shit though.Is the mounted version worth it at all or does he just get sniped?
>>98403017they're dragging it, look at the bottom, it's not steam powered, it's human powered.
Did GW literally forget they added Teutogen Guard back into the game? Greatswords have gotten tons of buffs and points reductions but these guys have never been touched and are pretty much just a more expensive and worse version of Greatswords now.
>>98403065since they're Arcane journal, I would assume so. Or they think the Wolf Hammers compesate they I1 the GW has
>>98401407Exactly. Ukraine are "de-Russifying" because they live fucking next door to Russia and have a significant number of Russian speakers, which has left them historically vulnerable to Russian influence ops that have - in the view of Ukrainians, YMMV - distorted their own history and culture.Kislev are a fictional faction in a fictional world made by a British company, conceived as a culturally insensitive(as all Warhammer factions were, and should remain, because it's fucking funny) mashup essentially based on "everyone East of Germany who have fyunny acksyents". The idea it needs to have the Russian element of that stripped out is farcical nonsense.
>>98401407It's retarded, but it's just normal reactionary virtue signaling, like Freedom Fries and Liberty Cabbage. We can just hope they retcon it back to normal in years to come.
>>98401244>>98401249>>98402458I'll have to use my shaker in the day to get my Genestealer purple liquid enough to be used to complete the one on the left, but the one of the right is pretty much done, short of the base. I,m still debating which colour to use to rim the base, possibly got with some shade of green to match my BSB Captain.
>>98401244Finished my shaman>>98402458I’ve been part of the herd for a while Anon, and good looking Empire, keep at it for the contest.

Does a wound that is lost and then gets regenerated or healed still count as a wound lost for the Pendant of Damnation's effect?
>>98404351The subtle reflection of the green & yellow checks in the lower silver trim is masterful. Such a quiet detail that makes the model really come to life.
I have to say, it is a shame that Age of Reckoning was shut down. This collectors edition with the hardbound art book, comic collection and the exclusive pewter Warboss arrived today and is such a great combination. I know it is technically not "canon" WHFB but damn this is cool and I am glad I grabbed it at the low price of next to nothing!
>>98404754Black orc is still my favorite tank from any MMO
>>98404754It's what got me into Warhammer. Still play on the private server occasionally.
>>98404754The private server for it is still going
Any advice on how to build this? 50/50 split of Handguns and Crossbows, Spears and Halberds?
>>98404351That's going to be really cool dude
For some unknown reason I can not get the picture I took with my phone to upload, so here is a web snagged picture of the collectors edition of AoR. The bindings for both of the hardcover books in mine are undamaged and clearly have never been opened. The blister for Grumlock and Gazbag is open but otherwise virgin metal with the flash attached and axe sprue still on the axe. Really cool stuff.>>98404761>>98404772>>98404778I will need to look into the private server it seems.
>>98403635I have Shadow of the Horned Rat for my PS1, but could never wrap my brain around it. I should give it another try.
>>98404754I've never gotten into mmos but age of reckoning had a sick art direction
>>98404754My only regret is that i played more WoW and a lot less WAR when the servers were still upI know private servers are a thing but i'm not sure i can be bothered with that
>>98404754AoR is great and I highly recommend giving the private server, Return of Reckoning, a try. Some of the area and location designs are incredible and are a wonderful source of inspiration for making terrain.
>>98404834It really does, the Tzeentch warriors, Humans and Dark Elf sections of the art book are incredible design-wise.>>98404847At least you have the option to play AoR now for free if you so desire. You might not have the player base of AoR live, but it is available.>>98404851I am going to give it a shot, thanks Anon!
Where does a 30mm base size foot character go in a unit of 25mm infantry?
>>98404868On the side, sticking out like a sore thumb.
>>98404872How does that work in combat against another infantry blob? Or in a challenge? Wondering if i fucked up by choosing the wrong base size
>>98404880Pages 207 and 208 of the core rulebook covers this.
>>98404779definitely don't go 50/50, 30 is a minimum size for a block of state troops. It's up to you what to build them with, halberds or spears are the most popular, generally it isn't worth trying to make them survivable with shields so getting more attacks with spears or more damage with halberds as you tarpit enemy units is considered more useful. The missile units are very much a preference thing, against some armies you'll want the range of crossbows and won't need any AP like elves and TK, whereas other times you'll want AP and don't need range when facing stuff like chaos and handguns are better. You can even kit some missile guys out using the state troop weapons since it's usually not worth fielding 32 of them, two units of 10 for detachments is probably enough.
>>98404868I can highly recommend 30mm base extenders for characters with armies that allows heroes to join units of either base size.
>>98404880Typically? Very poorly. There are some advantages, especially if your character doesn't want to be in b2b contact, but generally speaking you want your characters to be in the thick of it.If you can use the same base for your character as you do for the models he'll be fighting with, try to do so.
>>98404956What issue?
>>98404830It is hard as hell on PC but likely better to control too. You can get it dirt cheap on GOG which I'd suggest>inb4 why not steamIronically the new devs "updated" version has serious bugs in the campaign. Get on GOG for smoothest experience.

Lore question for a Warhammer Fantasy fanfic I’m writing:How badass and capable is the average Witch Hunter in the Empire of Man supposed to be?I want to portray one as a major protagonist, but still within realistic lore limits.
>>98405137Depends a lot on the individualMost will have quite a few years of experience and will probably have survived some harrowing ordeals because those who don't really have what it takes for the job don't make it far before getting killed, quitting or going madEven those who manage to become veterans all have to some degree some sort of mental trouble due to the things they saw and they had to doYou might want to give a read to the book series by Darius Hinks and the Witch Hunter's Handbook he also wrote I'm sure it will give you some inspiration
>>98405137It's a very dangerous job. Competency correlates with life expectancy. A veteran Witch Hunter is on par with any other combat oriented character from any other race.
>>98405161 I'm much more of an audiobook kind of guy but if it's on a computer I can usually get by with the internet reading the text also I'm perfectly fine just listening to people on YouTube read story events to an audience like the lead in you the book do you know a YouTube place I can listen to this or PDF I could read?
>>98405137It takes timeLike for a budding one, you are best getting exp working under a veteran. You should do small things like hanging gypsies or burning synagogues.Once your and your master manage to survive an actual vampire encounter in a single piece, then you can call yourself experienced
Speaking of Witch Hunters, has the Cursed County PDF dropped yet?
>>98405265 Speaking of the guy who brought up the topic that might actually be pretty useful cuz most of the fanfiction will take place in that former Province or province so when exactly does that take place in the Empire's timeline anyways?
I can say after playing Cathay for a year, other than tournament cheese through points denial, I have no idea how this army is good or even functions outside of shugengens and cannons. It has nothing going for it, all of its melee profiles are average to bad, nothing besides crane guns, cannons, and magical weapons 65+ points hits over 1S - 1AP. It just feels like a load of trash you try to avoid fights with all game
>>98405302You are describing almost every single army in the game right now.
>>98405184here :https://fr.scribd.com/document/394288048/The-Witch-Hunters-Handbook-pdfactually I made a mistake, it's CL Werner who wrote the Witch Hunter novel series I spoke about, Darius Hinks only wrote the Handbookhttps://anyflip.com/wyzsc/lyvv/basic/101-145
>>98405323Oh, does every army in the game have access to great weapons? Funny, because Cathay doesn't. No lances either.
>>98405271WFRP 4E's set during the Reign of Karl Franz, TOW has its own completely separate RPG for whatever reason
>>98405433>>98405265 Okay by TOW do you mean total war warhammer fantasy or the old war also did you just say is this for the role playing game WFRP 4E's or TOW In the book Warhammer fantasy role playing Sylvania the country ?
Which battalion box has the best points to dollar value?
>>98405461The new Cursed County supplement is for WFRP 4E, which is set during the reign of Karl FranzThe separate TOW RPG is set at the same time as the TOW wargame, about 25 years prior to the Great War against Chaos, and over 200 years before mainline WFB/WFRP/Karl Franz
>>98404779>>98404928I'd mostly agree with this, remember that State Troops are literally weaker than clanrats, so run them in one big block. Right now I don't think spears are worth the point cost, with the hand weapons getting parry and the press of battle, you're paying an extra point for 1/3 more attacks and losing +1 armor in melee. Although you can choose to fight with their hand weapons and shields. However I would just go with what you like, I don't think it's going to make a huge difference and you don't want to kit them out based on what's the current rules set that'll change in a few years. Honestly I just picked mine based on what province I choose. Poor regions are more likely to field spears, and crossbows are more popular in the south.
>>98405302It is my theory they didn't expect Cathay to do so well or get a second wave, so purposelly overtuned elements to compensate for that.
>>98405518wut? the second wave came out only months after the first. That shit would've been locked and loaded and ready to go
>>98404779Swordsmen, keep 'em cheap and survivable, they're just there to provide static combat res for the Griffon Banner anywayYour poison on the missile troops. I prefer archers anyway
>>98405535It did but I wager they were ready to pull out if sales hit the shitter
Question for the general: how many anons have a terrain collection? Pic related, progress on my empire fortified manor
>>98405482The wood elf one I think
>>98399629>TQVon Kleit just because of his last battle and if we're allowing vidya then I'd have to go with the ubersreik 5 (Saltz and Bardin slightly more kino that the rest)
i like warhammer fantasy>>98405682where you get your trees nigga?
>>98405746 I made them from scratch using pic related. They've lasted since I was a teen
>>98405682I mostly have things for Bolt Action, so WW2 and a little 15mm vietnam stuff. I also did Mordheim houses back in the day, but nothing as grand-looking as yours Anon. Good work btw.
>>98405841
>>98404254>PaintedA little over 1500p, and I got a few more things to paint; a whole battalion, a few mto heroes and gotta finish my herdstone.Right now I am close to finish painting my Preyton.
>>98405682I have enough terrain to dress 5-6 yables at once to a fairly dense level.It's all in boxes at my parents'.I really gotta get rid of it and donate it to someone
>>98405878Nice Preyton!Tell me, how was it to build/glue together? Althought I'm quite content with my cockatrice for now, I've been eyeing it for a while now...
>>98406025It wasn't the hardest to put together, the antlers were a pain tho, but besides that and a gap or two I filled in with liquid greenstuff it was pretty easy, as easy resin gets at least.
>>98406033The fact that it is resin is what held me back, I wasn't too impressed by finecat back when i was in 40k...well I just might add it to the list when I'll get back to working on my Herd.I'm still debating to add Bestigors or minotaurs; one is thematic which I like, the other seems more of a good hammer unit, which will add bunch ot my lineup

Should Warhammer make a move towards more immersive and streamlined flat bases? The ridiculous thick Warhammer bases are a vestigial problem from the slotta base era, but now that slotta bases are obsolete why did the thick base stick?
>>98406423No. Go away. Stop having bad ideas. Put your models on the correct square bases or fuck off.
>>98406446>just do what you're told and never innovate or think outside the box!!!!!Goyim Of The Year Award goes to ...
>>98406450I'll spell it out for you because you're too stupid to figure it out for yourself: Changing the bases is a bad idea. Don't make everyone re-base their models. TOW increasing the base sizes was retarded. Your proposed "innovation" and "thinking outside the box" is retarded. Stop being retarded. You are more than welcome to base your models however the fuck you want. You don't get to mandate those changes for everyone else.Now, again, fuck off back to where you came from.
>>98406423When your autism is acting up like this, just stick your dick in a live lamp socket to make it pass.
>>98401194>>98401208Obviously it's making the knights finally express their true selves.
>>98406469>YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO CHANGE THE BASES!!!! >didnt TOW just do it? >YES AND IT WAS FINE, BUT NOOOOO WE NOT DO IT AGAIN You're actually the retard here. Also, unlike the TOW base size increase, making the bases thinner is strictly aesthetic and has no effect on gameplay, so you don't even have to rebase your army if you don't want to. Again, you proved yourself the moron by arguing something can't be done and then admitting in the next sentence that it was literally just done without serious consequence
>>98406495Did you even read my post? No, the TOW base size increase wasn't fine. It was retarded, like you!
I jerk off mid game in the bathroom whenever my dragons fail a charge roll. Yes I play wood elves Yes I use a rotating 360 electronic dildo Yes I don’t take off my sissy cage when I’m cumming.
>>98406515Do you often daydream about these kinds of things?
Is shooting secondary/not usually as important in WHFB/TOW?
I love Lizardmen. I love dinosaurs. I will play them even if they are not an officially supported army.
>>98406423Thin bases do look better, but as you can tell from the replies GW is reluctant to make any positive changes because the chud fans will have a mental breakdown. Why do you think 40k still uses the 1980s antiquated I GO U GO phases system instead of alternating activation, for example?
>>98406561Shooting is incredibly powerful, but it depends on the army.
>>98406582It looked like most armies have infantry shooting at BS3 so I was unsure how actually useful it was. Migrating from Age of Fantasy Regiments, so I will admit ignorance.
>>98406469TOW increasing base sizes was based and that change needed to happen 25+ years ago. 20mm bases were made for monopose models that sit diagonally.
>>98406446You 'people' are unreal
>>98406556It’s more of a spur of the moment kinda deal.
>>98406595I reject your premise completely. Learn how to assemble and pose your models properly instead of using bigger bases as a crutch. Have fun not being able to play older editions of the game with your army by the way. Smaller bases can be placed in adapter trays. You can't make a big base smaller. The base size changes were, categorically, a mistake.But honestly? I don't care. It's your army. Just don't shit up the thread.
>>98406664I have no idea what you're yapping about but 20mm bases are retarded and anyone who thinks otherwise is an autistic retard.
>>98406672I completely agree, which is why I use 19mm super flat bases on my Perry Miniatures
What's the easiest faction to paint and what's the hardest?
>>98406707Easiest are skeletons, hardest is Bretonnia or Empire done WELL
>>98406707Easiest are night goblins. Hardest is a tie between dwarves or any of the elf factions because chances are if you like those freaks you have adhd.
>>98406570Based
>>98406570Me too. It just sucks they need something like the Square Based Renegades Pack to make them good. (Mostly for the fix to Cold Blooded)
These fucks better bring back vampire counts.
>>98406741I don’t want them until they can makentomb kings interesting
>>98406664I put all my infantry on 25mm bases, Empire, Orcs, Chaos, etc.
Hey guys! Done a couple of Swordsmen for the painting Challenge, even had ot buy another pot of paint since my old ones were all crapped up in the old pots!I don't think I'll do alot of stripes, most of the shields are doubled, so I'll just put one main paint on them and have some variety with that. Well maybe another 1-2 striped shield, who knows!
>>98406717>>98406723Hell yeah. Lizardmen are kick ass and it is hard to argue otherwise.
Rolled 14 (1d20)>>98401400Lets see who my warriors of chaos are going to be fighting
Rolled 4 (1d20)>>98401400Rolling for glorious Reikland!
>>98406804
>>98406819Thanks doc.
>>98406423I like mdf bases.Cheap, non beveled, a nice flat area to put magnets.
>>98406707Skaven or beastmen. Fur is the easiest thing to paint. Then lizardmen because scales are also easy to paint.
>>98406423thick hollow bases let me put magnets underneath and that makes moving armies so much easierThin bases do look nicer but I will stick to thick
>>98406819Looking sick so far, love the freehand! Boy do you need a better lighting tho!
>>98406972What do you need magnets for?
>>98407136Magnetic bases means I can just put the models on a cookie tray and safely carry the whole army at once
>>98407136That's such a nogame question.
>>98407157Been wargaming since I was 14 and never needed magnets to transport my minis >>98407216I didn't ask what he used them for, I asked what he 'needs' them for
>>98407243don't be pedantic, he answered your question
>>98407243You're a faggot.
>>98407243
>>98407037I'm using my desk lamp, also I'm using a early 2000 digital camera.

>decide to give competitive TOW a go>pay for my tournament ticket, use my real name>tournament day, meet the rest of the players>bunch of morbidly obese 40-50 year olds using names like kell, baltazar, ironhand, rider, aldarion VI, dessertbladeYikes. I'm curious, is the competitive scene generally inhabited by people like this? Like there's few times I've felt more out of place while sharing a common hobby in my entire life
>>98407468post your army
>>98407513You mean the list I used?
>>98407468>the competitive scene generally inhabited by people like thisYep
>>98407468to give them the benefit of the doubt, many of those people probably interact with each other mainly through old online forums or discords, so the use of usernames instead of their real names is probably a carryover from that.but yeah, tournaments are disgusting scenes.
>>98406487Expression of the Lady
Impetuous should only force you to test against units/models with a lower unit strength then you.
>>98407468>competitive TOWkekw
Oh no a fair maiden has wandered into the forest and found herself face to face with a ruthless Preyton, are there any brave knights who can come to this lady's aid?Post your gallant savior in due haste!
>>98407707Le Boss is ready!
>>98407720He looks ready to slay and then lay
>>98407707Sir Godfrey and his faithful hound, Bentley, stand ready to intervene!(6e Empire limited edition BSB, and one of the classic realms of chaos dogheaded beastmen)
>>98407655why? the point is that someone impetuous has poor judgement unless you want to split the rule into impetuous (bully), impetuous (foolish), and impetuous (all), but then I'd guess one of these would get used way more than the others
Has anyone here converted archon studios dragons to mounts for characters?
>>98407828the undead one is probably the best for that
>>98407836Do you have pictures?
>>98407468Not my experience at all in northern Europe. I've gone to four TOW tournaments since the game launched. Around 18 people each event. About 1/4 bring meta lists cranked to max. But the majority are just there to have a good time and talk about the game/hobby.Most are 30ish years old with some older guys. No fake names. The older guys are definitely more chill. No morbidly obese people either. Although some clearly have autism.If you like the game and not a sperg I definitely recommend going to a tournament to at least try it
>>98407851
>>98407855>If you like the game and not a sperg I definitely recommend going to a tournament to at least try itThat was a tournament in central europe. I played a couple of games, lost and got placed against the rest of the dudes that lost their respective games. That was the only enjoyable game since the dude had a fluff list.
>>98407867Pretty cool, thanks!
>>98401079What would your Bretonnian novel be about anon? Personally I think a story about a great rivalry between a Bretonnian marcher lord and a Beastman warchief plaguing his lands could be kino. You could have all of these symmetrical scenes where both have to struggle to manage their rebellious vassals/underlings, while also keeping on the right side of increasingly esoteric demands from religious authorities (local shaman/damsel). Add a slow burn, barely implied homoerotic undertone to their relationship and I think you just might have a gemerald on your hands. Ends with one of them impaling the other and choking him to death, with which being which dependant on what sort of tone you wish to give your story. Could also pull the classic warhammery twist of the knight winning, but the beastman curses his bloodline with his last breath and the book ends with his wife birthing a turnskin. IDK just throwing ideas at the wall.>>98405265So has anyone managed to track down what the new victorian gothic inspired monster/plotline is supposed to be? The only thing Vera revealed about it is that she wrote in a previously not yet warhammerified shelley/poe reference.>>98406025Random question, how hard would it be to convert this model to have a rider? I think the Armorcast cockatrice which was pretty much custom made to be converted into a mount is now permanently OOP so I'm going to have to find something else.
>>98407707Hark! The Wyrm-slayers sally forth!
>>98408001Nice looking knights, anon, the dark elf shield bosses and banner topper really tie it together. Didn't even notice they were historicals at first! Are these victirx?
>>98408009NTA, but I reckon those are either fireforge or conquest games knights.
>>98406423I feel like thin bases would be more annoying to handle in the table
>>98408009Thanks! Like the other anon correctly pointed out, they're Medieval Knights from Conquest games (supposed to be roughly barons war era) with a bunch of Bretonnian, DElf and Deepkin bits mixed in to warhammerify them. I originally bought them just around the time TOW was announced, back when I had no hope whatever that we'd ever see any sort of Bretonnian re-release so I just resigned myself to using pimped up historicals. I now use them as Errants, what with their lack of barding and plate armour.>>98406423I feel like raised bases really do so much for the minis though, they provide an excellent frame for the mini to stand on & make them work as stand alone little objects.
I guess I'm going to go another year without giving a shit about this game with Dark Elves being the state that they are. My fault for having expectations for GW
>>98408057Isn't there a fan variant for their rules?
Had a delivery from ebay a couple of days ago.Got the 5th edition box set for ~£80.I have no idea why it's in spanish.
>>98408085That's a lot of plastic.
>>98408076I just want them to address the fact they wrote Murderous to not fucking work on the Muder Cult Elves. Relying on Square Based for half way functional rules jsut feels bad.
>>98408089It didn't come with the paper cutout house, but you can't win all the time I guess.
>>98408096Damn, I wish I could read.
>>98408100Painting instructions back then were a lot simpler, huh?
>>98408085>I have no idea why it's in spanish.it's a mistery, anonnice catch btw
>>98408105It was a simpler time, where the steps taken and what was written never did add up.Though this helps push me along, I'll pick out a regiment from my eternally work in progress Bretonnian army and paint them this week!
>>98408100>Damn, I wish I could read.it doesn't elaborate much more than what is shown
>>98408065I'm convinced the shaggoth is one of those models that the old world should and will do
>>98408105Yes, now is hard to find a tutorial that show's you how to paint a boot in lees than 1 hour with less than 3 different brand paints.Influencers are a cancer.
What is the best way (or if there's an existing sculpt let me know) of representing a court wizard with an outward appearance of splendour but also hinting at the use of evil magicksSomeone like Saint Germain from the Castlevania series or like the real life Rasputin - seemingly a wandering healer/nobleman/wonder worker but with his own selfish ambitions
>>98408185Maybe just use this dude but paint him in black, magenta and gold and use a little devil looking familiar next to him instead of the gnome? The puffy sleeves look pretty fancy already
>>98408138>more chaos warrior toys while tomb kings keep trucking with 30 year old skeletonsI believe it
>>98408185You probably want to make something like this dude
>>98408185Well if you're into the classic warhammer look, there's the ex-citadel Time Warped Wizards series by Warmonger. IMHO all of them except the Legally Distinct Gandalf(tm) don't look particularly trustworthy, though you'd need a good evil-coded colour scheme to make it work. Otherwise you might want to look into the Reaper PF minis collection, it's full of shady looking magic users. To cite a few minis there's Ilnerik Sivanshin (60161), Khalib (60098), Zayafid (60154), Meligaster (60197), Mystic Theurge (60063), Sheila Heidmarch (60138) & Cleric of Mammon (60132). Reaper does have a very different house style to warhammer though, so not sure how these would line up with Empire minis.
>>98407707Naw, territorial dispute.
>>98407468When I was doing tournaments a lot for 7th many wanted the name for your General instead of the player.
>>98408057What expectations? GW was pretty transparent from the start that legacy factions won't get any support from their side.
>>98408092https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DxVMfxgaDnemxkmqxatHZwGNv0i1rRoekbsmVKgmRmA/edit?usp=sharing
What are you working on?I am resizing empire knights to modernise the horse size a bit (I'm using the previous plastic marauder horseman horses)They will be freeblade cavalry for my Renegade Crowns army so I might also add some fancy trim to indicate they're rich arrogant pricks
>>98408320Lil assembly line
Had a 1500p game today against Warriors of Chaos. We rolled and got the Tower scenario (with a monument of glory terrain piece) and I went first after deployment.I moved my Gors 12” up the field with the help of Travel Mythical Pathways from my Bray Shaman and baited his demon prince into a failed charge before next turn charging his warriors with my Gors and Preyton.I lose that combat after his demon prince had just enough line of vision to declare a charge.My Razorgor however on my next turn solo charges his demon prince and dealing 2 wounds to him leaving him with only 1 wound left after the previous combat.Then my Ghorgon sweeps my right flank while my Beastlord and his Bestigors mops up his chosen, then fights and kills his DP before sweeping up the remaining warriors leaving me victorious.It’s only a brief and not in detail report but it conveys the important points.
>>98408320Designing and printing 10 warpgors based on undead draenai. Can't determine which colors to use, especially since its not going to be painted well no matter what.
>>98408331Pre game photo of my dudes
>>98408331>>98408337Post game with my Beastlord on the altar ready to make a sacrifice to the dark gods.
>>98408331>>98408337>>98408347Congrats! Great looking army dude. Only Centigors in Ambush? Any particular reason not the Preyton?
>>98408320I finished a test scheme for lizardmen and now I have 88 models from the 5th edition starter box to get on with.
>>98407468You don’t own any models or play fantasy or any other GW game
>>98408364I wanted it to support my Gors on the field. Trying out different tactics pretty much.
>>98408373Fair enough, what load out on centigors?
>>98408185I would definitely recommend going through Reaper's catalog. They have about a thousand thousand magic users to pick from. Everything from clearly evil to sexy evil to to mildly evil like you're looking for.
>>98408405Great weapons and throwing axes (and a group leader).They didn’t get to do much as I failed a charge from my Ghorgon into the (from my side) left group of Chaos Warriors leaving the Centigors to be all alone in their rear where they got smacked all over. When I had hoped to pin them in between them and my Ghorgon.
>>98408437sorry; his left, my right side of warriors*
>>98408437Ah, yeah that sucks. Kind of a bad matchup for them since the throwing axes will mostly do nothing against WoC as an army though so just bad luck on the charges.
>>98408368That looks really good - but maybe see if you can do a simplified version incorporating more drybrushing and washes if you're looking to get through all those models soon, coz otherwise all that edge highlighting will take its toll
>>98408370Not everyone in this thread is like you m8
>>98408810Okay. Now post your models.
>>98408320Next day fully dedicated to painting my tank. I really like what you are doing with your conversions. Did you paint any of them yet?
>>98408320Some marauder horsemen. They're not off to a good start, but that's how all my models start off.
>>98409175I like the bronze age vibe of these sculptsAre they classic sculpts? I don't recognise em
What makes a better basis for converting bile trolls? Stone trolls, river trolls or normal trolls?
>>98409251Looking at the poses I'd go with river trolls
>>98409251chaos trolls?
>>98407978Good question; without the wings I think a character would have be be a bit in front, sitting on its 'shoulders', but the wings does not give enough space for the rider to sit confortably on the model. picrel is the model without wings.
>>98409219Yes, they are. They're featured prominently in the 6th edition Hordes of Chaos army book on page 71.
>Read Grudgebearer.>Reading Thorgrim.>Any appreciation I had for the conservative, stubborn and (reasonably) noble Dwarves of WHFB evaporates.>They are a bunch of petty, grumbling, suicidally stubborn fools who happily damn their kin and children with grudges and pride.
>>98408331Victory for the Herd! Nice pics and great looking army!
If I have a mob of 20 Orc Boys with Warbows in a 4x5 sized block like in this picture, does that mean that Volley Fire allows the first two ranks of 10 boys and five each in the next two rows to fire?
>>98406366Are Leonardo not-steam tanks even a thing in Warhammer ?
>>98409423No, because the closest thing is the steam tank and thats notoriously hard to replicate
>>98409423Leonardo da Miragliano invented his steam tank as their "modern" iteration like anon's model >>98409153No one else has been able to produce them since his death. Marienburg tried, but couldn't make it small enough to fit a normal steam tank chassis and that's how they ended up with the Land Ship.
>>98409401Unless something changed in the newest book, Volley Fire only lets the first full rank fire, then half of each successive rank (rounding up). So you'd get 5 shots from the front, and three from each other ranks for a total of 14 shots. Unless you were on a hill, in which case the full of the front two ranks can fire; with the same formation, it's now 16 shots.
>>98409446Thank you Anon.
Thoughts on this Battle March list?The army theme is around the kind of nurgle cult described in the Realm of Chaos book, the sort of thing you might see in the edge of Ostermark or Mousillon===Nurgle Cult Army Battle March [699 pts]Warhammer: The Old World, Warriors of Chaos, Battle March===++ Characters [120 pts] ++Pestilent Demagogue (Exalted Sorcerer) [120 pts] - Hand weapon- Light armour- Mark of Chaos [Mark of Chaos Undivided]- Wizard [Level 2 Wizard]- General- On foot- Battle Magic++ Core Units [407 pts] ++20 Diseased Flagellants (Chaos Marauders) [217 pts] - Hand weapons- Flails- Light armour- Chaotic Cult [Cult of the Carrion Crow]- Formation [Close Order]- Marauder Headman (champion)- Standard bearer- Musician- Unnatural Fortitude10 Blessed Brethren (Forsaken) [190 pts] - Mutated weapons (Hand weapons)- Heavy armour- Forsaken by Nurgle++ Special Units [172 pts] ++1 Sewer-beast (Chaos Spawn) [52 pts] - Flailing appendages (Hand weapons)- Scaly skin (Heavy armour)- Spawn of NurgleAltar-wagon (Chaos Chariot) [120 pts] - Hand weapons- Halberds- Mark of Chaos Undivided- Mark of Nurgle---Created with "Old World Builder"[https://old-world-builder.com]
>>98409434>>98409437Yeah but but if the hard-to-make part is the steam engine.There might have been concept of a simpler version powered by men, horses, or oxens from within.
Why don't Warhammer conventions ever have big epic games like this?
>>98409153Badass work Anon, it's looking damn great!
>>98409465because warhammer fans are soulless
>>98409153Painting crossbowmen atmMagenta, black and gold detailsIll chuck some pics up once I've got them to a respectable level
>>98409465It would take up valuable space for half a dozen tournament tables
>>98409626You could get a lot of floorspace back by instituting a max weight for contestants
>>98409465Nigger what are you even doing here?Like if you like historical, go post your games there (as dubious as you actually playing it) and stop trying to push a false dichotomy with this.I can like historical, but I come here for that mix of historical verisimilitude contrasted with cartoony fantasy. I sure as fuck am not going to be able to see a hamsterwheel of death playing "Nevermind the billhooks"Now please, fuck off
>>98405265>CursedUpdoot.Also without Katarin being alive my desire for Kislev drops by over 9,000 so they can de-Russify the faction all they want.
>zombies are good for winning but they look like shit unless you are good at painting them and you have to paint so many>skellies arent as competative but are absolutely kino and can easily be painted en masseWhich way for your core, necromancer man?
>>98409712I choose Ghouls.
>>98409712Armoured skeletons, then hordes of zombies for summons. I like both, and painting both is fun.
>>98409712A true chad uses graveguard.I dont even know if they are good but they are cool models and thats the only thing that matters
>>98409670>hamsterwheel of death playing "Nevermind the billhooks"Da fuck does this even mean
how would (you) model and paint knights of morr? i feel like just painting empire knights black is that gay?
>>98409839It means historical games dont have the whimsical shit like the Skaven doomwheel thus one cant compare historicals to whfb. NMTBH is a historical game.
>>98409842purple shades. Death magic (not necromancy) is the purple wind of magic
>>98409856i mean the sashes could be purple..
>>98409853How is that relevant with making large beautiful wargaming tables?
>>98409460Looks solid, very on theme. What minis/conversions are you planning to use?
>>98409842Hourglasses and roses from the flagellant and wizard kits if you don't wanna go all out
>>98409692>Also without Katarin being alive my desire for Kislev drops by over 9,000Same but I still hoped for a qt ice witch model that I could turn into her
>>98406423>vestigial problem from the slotta base eraMost players still own a considerable amount of sports tabbed models, armies even. You don't play the game, so you've never been able to seee this.
>>98409995No they don't.
>>98409995Most TOW players don't even have full armies without AoS shit, let alone old school armies
>>98409344Thorgrim had Gorfang at least. If you want a good Dwarf novel, read Fall of Dragonback. Makes greenskins quite scary.
I have some 3rd party skeletons and 3rd party orcs, which should I paint up for the August challenge?
>>98410275I am enjoying the Orc parts of Thorgrim, I will give it that. The Orc Boys POV in the early book was very cool.
>>98409842I'm reading the Mattias Thulmann novels right now and there's a fair bit of attention paid to Knights of Morr. Apparently they've got armour of "obsidian color", apparently a treated/painted steel? They also are uniformly described as wearing black shrouds, stylistically similar to a funeral shroud, over their helmets and across their shoulders. I think it should be pretty straightforward to replicate if you wanted - there's great brands doing colored metallics now, including metallic blacks, and the shroud could just be a tiny square of real cloth dipped in glue
>>98409344duh, they're Israelisalso spell Dwarfs properly, you've just read two novels about them you stupid fuck
>>98409980HNNNGH. FUCK I NEED THIS.
Group wanted to do 500pt battle march day to try out the new mode. It is horrendously broken. I did two matches, I won on turn 2 both games. The board is way too small. Games were too quick to even make a narrative out of. Neither game I even got my ambush guys.The first my opponent scooped with only his general on board, the second I tabled my opponent. The board is simply too small to fight against a beastmen list and I thought I brought a middling to weak-ish list. Went up against Wood elves and High elves. Pig ran around a building then turn 2 charged a 5x2 unit of archers killing 5. Warpgors annihilated a unit of 9 dryads down to 1 who fled and I rolled to catch, right into his cav unit that had used fire and flee from my primal herd.Against the high elves, he had a unit of 8 skirmish archers with scout he put in front of the pig figuring he could shoot it down with stand and shoot. 6 killed archers, they fled past his 10 man wide unit of regular archers, which the pig crashed into for another 5 wounds. Warpgors on turn 2 charged his last unit and did 8 on the charge. Both units fled, both got run down, his general was in the one the warpgors charged.Wild Herd, Battle MarchBray-Shaman, Braystaff, Wizard [Level 2 Wizard], General, On foot, Lore of Primal Magic - 95Primal Warherd, 10x Gors [10x Two hand weapons], 10x Ungors [10x Thrusting spears + Shields], Full Command - 1478 Gor Herd, Additional hand weapons, Ambushers - 56 (the free ambush for wild herd)1 Razorgor Herd, Hand weapons (tusks), Light armour (calloused hide) - 529 Warped Gors, Shields, Standard bearer - 150
>>98410276Always Skellytons
>>98410444warhammer fantasy in general has always been a came with fucking awful balance that requires 10 different levels of gentlemens agreements and handshakes to keep it from devolving into an unplayable mess, and small format games are that on steroids. i really think its just meant to be a couple units of doofus infantry and some basic characters with no magic items walking corially towards each other and having a fistfight, and anything else will bend the format over its knee and spank it
>>98409980Wonder where the helmets and horses are from
>>98410456The helmets are from the previous Chaos Knights or Warriors. I have a bunch of them from my army.
>>98410456chaos warriors and chaos knights
>>98410444I called that the games just a waste of an effort to try and chase. I get they want to sell it to new players but the game just doesn’t lend itself well for that. It’s simply the nature of the beast.>>98410456The helmets are from the now oop chaos warriors. I don’t know if the horses are from chaos knights but the barbed armor is similar to them at least.
>>98410456The helmets are from the 2004 chaos warriors kit and the horses as well as the sickle-axe wielded by the unit champion are from the 2007 chaos knights kit. I do not recognize the lances for certain, but they look a lot like the ones from the bretonnian knights of the realm kit.
>>98410444I played a few BM games last week and they were great fun. Two were draws.
>>98409656then they'd have no players
My 9x5 foot Empire table is slowly beginning to come together
>>98409344at least you get to see louen louencouer being nice
>>98410563Nice! Would target for mass destruction and terrorism. Does it have a fountain?
>>98410575>fountain Hmm no, I will print one. Good idea!
>>98410563its missing a couple of panzer tanks.
>>98410475The Lances are from the plastic Empire General/BSB kit.
>>98410563Very nice.Do a couple of outhouses too! It's the Empire, not Bretonnia!
>>98410643
>>98410674Excellent!
>>98410674Fingerprints acquired
New thread time. Everyone always stops talking once the post count is high because they're saving their posts for the next general it seems
>>98410861Well, I don't make them, so who does?
>>98399723So does this say that drakenhof only has 100 soldiers of any kind, or is that meant to be units?
>>98410924A are elties, B are regular, and C are low quality troops, numbers are a single soldiers. but I,d assume there's dozens and dozens of undead just below the surface ready to burst out at their masters' command.
>>98410861it's page 8 man, chill out. You don't need to worry until page 10. It's a Monday, of course it's a bit slower

Girlfriend surprised me with a box of the Gloomspite Troggoths today, "so your Goblins will have some big friends!" according to her exact words. If I can make them fit on 40mm squares, will I be safe running them in WHFB/TOW? If not, I guess I am starting a Gloomspite Gitz army in AoS.
Post models before someone figures out how to rebake
>>98411564Tell her to return it.
>>98411564It's trolls so should be all right
>>98411564Eeh, they are overhanging 50mm rounds pretty aggressively but I'm sure you will find a way
>>98411564I hate aos but this is probably the best kit gw ever put up.>true to the old whfb cartoony trolls>more options you will ever needOnly retards will refuse them
>>98411587>I hate aosWhy tho?
>>98411564based girlfriendthey do fit on 40mms pretty well. gloomspite are one of the few soulful aos armies (because gobbos are always cool) but if you already have a goblin force for TOW they should be great for it
>>98411564I often regret getting a box of trolls I saw for age of sigmar because I don't follow the game. Don't know the name of the box, but I think it had a troll character, 6 stone trolls and 6 river trolls or something like that. Didn't get it because I've been looking for the 6th edition stone trolls at a decent price since I was a kid and getting the box seemed like cheating
>>98411640My Discord Daddy made me do it to get the sexy Skaven total war mod
>>98404779I'd recommend building all state troops with swords and shields. 10 handgunners, 10 crossbows and then convert 10 missile troops to halberdiers (really easily done) if you ever want to run halberdiers (just place them in the front ranks of your swordmen unit).In the current state of the game state troops are there only for static combat res. They're still somewhat overcosted for that as bretonnian peasants (and every other horde unit) does the same role for half the cost. You dont want to run big missile units anyways as the back rank doesn't get to shoot unless you put them on a hill and even then their damage output just sucks.
>>98411575I'm not going to do it, it was a heartfelt, surprise gift and I think it was very cute of her.>>98411576>>98411578>>98411675I'll grab some spare 40mm squares and give it a try, thanks Anons.>>98411683There was a Battleforce like that with Trolls. Hope you get your 6e trolls and for a good price Anon.>>98411587The sculpts are very charming.
>>98411566Nice Ghorgon. Wonder if they dont die so easily as they're T7 now. Working on some greatswords.
>>98411830I've knocked her up once and we have a second child seven months in, so I clearly am either quite talented or she is a Woman (Female).
>>98411835Congrats, our firstborn is due in two weeks. Do you have time / energy for hobbying and playing games?
>>98411845Thank you and congratulations, Anon! I have some time. Girlfriend and I both work from home, so we have time to spend with the kiddo. We alternate and help each other with chores and cooking meals and tend to wind down the day reading to the kiddo and/or doing painting of miniatures and breaking out coloring books with him before he goes to bed. Energy is not always at max, but it comes with getting into my 40's.
>>98411830Isn't that thing the gf of that other youtuber who says she plays 40k in that channel where they keep screaming like retards? If so, being a somewhat normal lesbian and dating that is unfathomably befuddling to me
>>98411564Reminds me of when I lost half my warhammer in a fire my gf spent loads of money trying to by me replacements of them but she knew nothing about warhammer so she just had to go on the stuff that didn't burn down still in the house. So I just got an exact copy of all the shit I still had, one of the most heartfelt things she's ever done (like £700 spent on me) and I never had the heart to tell her that it was kind of just a bit useless.
>>98411913I think I saw an image of them detransitioning with the Saturnine box, I wouldn’t assume so
Would a dwarf organ gun be an overkill for battle march at 600 points?
>>98412057no, they're a bit pap. Take a big unit of skirmishing, BS 4 Rangers instead
>>98412104I already took three infantry units and want something that adds a visual pop to the list.
>>98412127>>98412127>>98412127>>98412127New
>>98412057I dont think it would be very fun. One good roll with arty dice and the game is pretty much over
>>98411564They fit well and there is a shit ton of spare parts so you could easily make an extra 3 with some sculpting or 3d prints
