Does slaanesh have any dynamics with sylvaneth? Do Hedonites even have any landmarks in ghyran?
>>98414753So OP, do you intentionally try to omit news, or are you a faggot by accident?
>>98414785>top leftWHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?
>>98414764>Does slaanesh have any dynamics with sylvaneth?Garden of Delight. Guy gets splinters in his dick.
>>98414764Bottom left
>>98414785So how many different arch knights do we have now>command corps bear guy>command corps fish guy>cavalier champion deer guy>gallant champion griffin chick>gallant champion boar guy>steel rook ...rook guy>darkwater manticore guyAnd now this drake themed arch-knight. That brings us to 8, unless I'm missing one.
>>98414764Yes, in the newest battletome they talk about a Slaanesh warband that plants still living sylvaneth in the ground after torturing them in order to make wine with the sweetest suffering
>>98414795My guess: a discarded concept for the self-immolating knight in Jade Abbey.
>>98414795Arch-Knight chaneling some kind of dragon as his animal.Disturbingly it looks lika he's wearing a bigger version of this guy
>>98414808>darkwater manticore guyManticore isn't an Arch. He has a helmet desing of a normie Galant
>>98414814kek that's going to be awkward if you use him as a command corps knight
>>98414785Blind box gotcha sets? No ebay listing for any of them opened up. wtf? A person is bound to get multiples while they try to get a full set, why can't I find any for sale? Nobody buying them?
>>98414813That's a big sword.
>>98414824They're not out yet
>>98414824You might want to educate yourselfhttps://youtu.be/vtkGtXtDlQA?si=7N3CFFt0qxh1nPQM
>>984148354u
>>98414822If you look closely you can see he has the little crown emblem on his chest that all the arch-knights have. But yeah his helmet is more gallant/cavalier like (animal on top of the helmet) than arch-knight like (animal worked into the helmet)
>>98414839Oh.
>>98414824Oh boy I can't wait to get my new wizard priest and witch hunter and nothing else.
>>98414795Medieval fursuit
>>98414867If it's anything like the last 2, the witch hunter will be asininely rare while the banner & fusil guy are a dime a dozen
>>98414808>>98414844So are Arch Knights like army champions or the heads of some kind of militant order? I assume they aren't singular characters otherwise they'd be named. But that would be a cool addition to COS to have singular named champions known for slaying a certain beast and using a certain style of fighting.
>>98414893They're like inner circle knights, just veterans who have clearly proven their mettle and are either unit champions or bodyguards for marshalsWouldn't be surprised if a lot of them become Stormcast when killed
>>98414893Arch Knights are just elite commanders slash champions of freeguild companies.
>>98414813>that facelollmao even
>>98414813looks like another one of those knights that all have a creature totem
>>98414785do we have any actual idea when these release? i've missed the last 3 sets and i NEED the sculpts from this so bad, i just can never find them when they should be released
>>98415059They're at some targets.Here's the thing, SOME targets. My local target? Never got them. The target a city away? Always got them. I managed to get most of the SCE heroes from there and got the rest online. Thankfully since people don't care about AoS as much as 40k I got the wizard for cheapsies.
>>98415059The article says later this year, so probably November/December
>>98415059>last 3 setsWhat were the other sets?
>>98415082Series 6 was "dark angels" (generic marines)Series 5 was sigmarinesSeries 4 was space marines, this and series 3 death guard are available in the KT starter set
>>98415059My local Target sold the SCE and Dark Angels boxes
Why is grey water the more popular city scheme? Is it because it’s like steel legion?
>>98415198Yellow and black is a really good color combination.
>>98414785I like these dudes
>>98414785Depending on how much a full box set of these things cost I might keep buying these to practice on until im comfortable to paint a full cities army.
>>98415198>Everyone likes guns and cannons >Greywater Fastness being a polluting shithole that Alarielle is trying to kill is fun and adds some complexity to Order>Greycaps
>>98415198Greywater Fastness is probably the most interesting free city in the whole setting. It has a fully realized moral quandry built into its background, diverse and interesting internal politics clashing with wider Realm politics and gods, a legitimate reason to fight other Order factions like Sylvaneth, and is scrappy underdogs barely holding on while under perpetual siege from Destruction and Chaos with the added threat of Alarielle holding a gun to their head daring them to try to expand the walls any further. Plus the fact it was built by a Tzeentch worshiper and the whole city is secretly being corrupted by Tzeentchian capitalism all along. It also has some of the most detail given to it out of all free cities, especially with the deep dive that Soulbound gave us on its culture and internal politics. Also also, the color scheme is great.Hammerhal is vanilla as fuck, it's the Cadia of AoS. Anvilgard got conquered by Morathi so now Cities of Sigmar players hate it. And I don't even remember any other free cities, they're all super forgettable honestly.
Does anyone happen to have any of the Gloomspite Gitz battletomes they can link here please? It would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
>>98415198-Great scheme-Straight forward army theme that fits the faction super well-Are assholes, which is genuinely refreshing for an order + human faction in AoSHammerhal Aqshy is a gross scheme because of the weird, desaturated orange they paired with their red. Hammerhal Ghyra might as well not exist.
>>98415307>And I don't even remember any other free cities, they're all super forgettable honestly.Settler's Gain is memorable because of the elves, and it does have a good scheme now (finally)But Hallowheart and Tempest's Eye are both pretty lackluster, Excelsis is a cool city in lore but has a boring color scheme, Misthavn is just the inferior replacement for Anvilgard.Lethis is ok, but the purple scheme is a bit uninspired. Any of the cities that are just "We are the color of our realm" are inherently boring.
>>98415324Tempest Eye is pretty cool in lore as half the city is literally floating in the clouds and being the only sky port that the Kharadon aren't in controlit just overshadow by the fact that every lore blurb since what 2e is about how skaven are coming to fuck it over?
Since it's Cities Hour, I'm trying to cook a name for my OC city. It's located in Ulgu, a waterfront town whose sister village got roanoke'd after skavenblight noclipped across the realms. Their color scheme is dark blue & gray with white accents.
>>98415358I don't hate the concept, and I actually like their dark blue color scheme, but yeah you're exactly right that they've gotten no attention besides a few random mentions
>>98415501>a waterfront town whose sister village got roanoke'd after skavenblight noclipped across the realmsRoanoke's story fits Ulgu quite well, actually. I'm hesitant to /dudes/ up my LRL right now with the fate of the setting as we know it not entirely secure at the moment.
So cities has replaced SCE as the posterboys for AoS?
>>98415520Why not? Having some idea of who they were before any great upheaval could help inform how they became what they are afterwards.
>>98415556I hope so. Stormcast Eternals are permanently gunked with the space marine comparison. At least with CoS, the comparison with the Empire will make people somewhat interested instead of zoning out
>>98415556They’re just hibernating
>>98415206>empire >inquisition tourist
>>98415598When did Don Patch get reforged?
>>98415607Whenever it would be the most comedic and least sensible - like mid-gag we're actually 3 layers deep into at this moment.
>>98415581The other side of that issue is that GW is adamant on keeping Lumineth society and how it operates quite vague. Sure, each of the Great Nations is good at something but there's hardly any depiction of the day to day operations of Lumineth society that isn't preparing for war. No descriptions of structure like CoS has for their colleges and their battletome lore was largely a rephrasing of 3e stuff.
>>98415324Settler's Gain is interesting because your standard of living would be vastly better than every other city yet at the same time you're (not) a second class citizen who'd constantly be belittled and degraded by smug elf women and actually that sounds pretty good
>>98414785Lmaoliterally no.differe t from one of the hundreds of generic 3d minis out there, GW needs to do better
>>98415667>literally no.differe t from one of the hundreds of generic 3d minis out there, GW needs to do betterPost one
>>98415667Eh could be worse, could be a blobby old TOW mini
>>98415633Probably preceded by something involving a weather man.
>>98415606dont even give him a (You), he has been shitting up these threads for years now.
Alright, my greasus metal recast showed up from China. I'm still trying to work out how I wanna do this Reddit the Maw kitbash. do you think I could fit the cauldron onto Greasus's little gnoblar crew? Any chance he actually fits on top of the pot? (or like in a little inner tube) and what do I do with Redd since I do kinda wanna have him pulling the whole thing. (basically just have Skragg and Greasus)
>>98414785God damnit I'm trying so hard to not start CoS in case the new dwarf faction apparently voming looks cool.
>>98414785I know with the SCE ones, apparently each model had a different SKU so you could choose the right one if you know what you are looking for.Hoping for the same thing with these
To the DoK coomer sculpting tits in his witch elves, how large will they be compared to her?
>>98415606What got your panties in the bunch? You didn't know the empire had inquisitors?Or is your 'tism is triggered because he didn't write Cities of Sigmar TM?
>>98414785Big improvement over the SCE wave is that you can actually open some fuckign heores in this.Mage, priest, witch hunter and command corp members aren't jsut generic unit fillers.Meanwhile with Stormcast if you didn't pull the rare mystery guy you got useless shit like yet another groont Liberator (they could haveat leats done like a Relictor or a Celestant, or even another Questor)
>>98414785>>98416112This also means you can actually use several of those guys right away.Anihilator was probably the best $/plastic on those, but you opened 1 and went "great now i need 2 more to do anything"
>>98414785You know it's odd they don't have a generic witch hunter hero yet, it feels like such an obvious choice
>>98414785>>98416201It's gonna be the Van Denst girl and this is how we learn old guy died of old age
>>98416214Her dad is killed by some young witchy type as they first discover their power and instead of killing the kid gloria adopts them because something something second chances
>>98416240Sorry DoraliaI'm a larper :(
>>98415730Here's a fat priest Compare the two, same uninspiring bland slop
>>98415730Oh look here's a generic knight, actually better than the GW slopTell me again why even bother with GW anymore of they keep releasing thos low effort crap?
>>98415775Imagine if they hired people with talent for tow
>>98415956It will look bad if you put the pot onto the gnoblar line, unless you add other gnoblars on the side. Hard to tell but I don't think Greasus will fit into the pot either. Isn't the old pot bigger? Maybe he will fit in there?
>>98416336Post your models then
>>98416328>>98416336Thanks for reminding me why 3d printed models are still at the stage of always looking odd.
>>98416348Holy cope
>>98416336That knight doesn't look nearly as gay and retarded as the GW models anon. They're not the same at all and aren't meant to please the same crowd.
>>98416328That's just terrible
>>98416352Hey man I ain’t gonna judge you for liking hero forge toys.
>>98416336Anon, you can buy only the models you like and ignore those that you don't like
>>98416361Exactly
>>98416366bruh what it's stupid to be a console war tard both ways
>>98416357The point is to ask yourself which one would be more popular if GW had released both
>>98416387The official aos ones because they look like aos. The other knight belongs in tow.
I hate GW models so much bros So anyway, when do we expect the Mancrusher reveal because I just know it's going to be bad and/or woke Oh man I just hate everything about GW aside from TWW
>>98416383Nah, that is some proper fat bastard, no notes, I saw him in London
>>98416384>console war There’s none of that here though? He probably could have found a better 3d printed hero model but all he found was something that utterly fails as a hero model whose purpose is standing out.
>>98416394I mean it's supposed to be subdued, like an archknight or empire general not celestant prime
>>98416336Wait a minute lol isn't this just lifted straight from some old gw art?
>>98416383
>>98415501ZweifelheimCanus RedoubtDis-harbor
>>98416407Our lawyers would like a word with you...We own the copyright to 15th century German knights
>>98416434No I just mean it's straight up this guy
Is it necrophilia if someone engages in the deed with someone under fecs delusion?
>>98416457yes
>>98416457No, they're alive.It might he bug chasing though, given curse is contagious
GW's new financial report is live, man do they love spearhead. Also seems like city of ash did great, according to this little paragraph:>[spearhead boxes] are proving popular with both beginners and established hobbyists alike, providing a simple way to get started with a new faction.>Later in the year the ‘Cities of Ash’ box set, which combined two new Spearhead forces, was the most successful Age of Sigmar box set (outside of new editions) to date. >Brand new faction, the ‘Helsmiths of Hashut’, and the truly wonderful ‘Cogfort’ miniatures also proved very popular.Flopposter eternally btfoby contrast, all they had to say about darkwater was that it had "some of the most characterful miniatures in Age of Sigmar" kek
>>98416501surprised they didnt say anything about nurgle. I would have thought there has been a massive uptick with them but I guess people did own some stuff already beforehand.
>>98416501Makes you wonder: How in absolute fuck was Combat Partol a failure???
>>98416515extra levels of jewery and the game mode itself is an unplayable mess
>>98416501I'm a big financial guy at GW: We're reducing the amount of large releases in favour of every faction getting 3 units + hero spearhead of all new stuff each edition
>>98416542>We're reducing the amount of large releases>by making large releases for all armies
>>98416560Large releas: Nurgle, HoH, Gitmob. Not Kharadron+1
>>98416501So Dark water flopped. Not surprised.Link to report pls
>>98416501SigmarGODBEASTS can't stop winning.>>98416542I choose to believe this particular My Dad Works At Nintendo post because the idea of a GW higher-up having a kharadon wojak saved tickles my funny bone.
>>98416573>Gitmob.Gitmob was three unit kits and two hero kits. I don't think you comprehend how massive three new unit kits is for most armies.
>>98416505They're pretty brief, for 40k they only mentioned space wolves and the new edition despite releasing a million other things that probably outsold every other game system combined. For horus heresy they only said the new custodes miniatures were "received exceptionally well" lel. For tow they said the highlights of the year were cathay and new chaos warrior stuff, which I found pretty funny because motherfucker that's the only tow stuff you released this entire year.Overall some interesting stuff in the financial report that's not system specific. Record sales again, to no-ones surprise. Mostly drivem by "trade" (selling to third party stores, it's like 65% of their revenue) And not by a little, the lowest difference in trade was +13.5% difference in NA, all the way up to +38% in asia. Asia is actually ahead of nz + australia now.Their retail (so warhammer stores) is by comparison much more modest, only growing by a couple of percentages (2.5% and 7.9%) in NA and EU respectively, and actually going down in the UK and aus/nz.Again, asia seems to be the biggest winner here (relatively speaking) with 23% retail growth.Webstore is up like a percentage, nothing major there.For comparison, gw's total revenue this year was 667 million (british pounds). 409 of that was trade, 133 retail, 93 webstore, and finally 33 million in licensing, down from 52 last year because sm2 launch. (Rounded because I didn't feel like dealing with decimals, in case you're checking the math)Overall pretty interesting.
>>98416501That's great!Now bring back Warcry
>>98416588Licencing fags will be doing 4% of all revenue and demand GW change everything to appeal to them
>>98416515From what I've heard it's much more "40k but small" than spearhead is, there's less adjustments and stuff to make the game work at that scale/size. This is especially shit because 40k as a game requires MORE, not less, changes to work in small scale, due to everything being able to shoot to the other side of the board + S/T mechanic making some units nearly unkillable with small arms fire.I thought one of the main things 11th would try and do is being combat patrol up to spearhead level but it didn't seem they really did anything with it, which surprised me.>>98416577Yeah their own damn fault, the game was shit.https://investor.games-workshop.com/annual-reports-and-half-year-resultsLatest one ofc
>>98414785I mean I kinda want the one with the polearm gun and shieldhopefully the model looks good with another skin tone, I don't see bigass lips so I'm thinking its fine
>>98416615>In animation, we continue to build on the success of the Warhammer 40,000 episode featured in Secret Level. We have almost completed an episode for Secret Level Season 2, this time set in our Age of Sigmar universe.Oh right that was a thing. Was it supposed to be about the Blacktalons? I can't recall.
>>98416615Thanks
>>98416615It's odd they spent an entire edition phasing all the armored hulls out of combat patrol with new boxes and then dropped a new game book for it with no rules in it and only the app even explains the game mode now. Which didn't get any kind of rework at all from the 10th framework so you still have totally lopsided armies that can't possibly match each other on the field even with their special faction rules and objectives.
>>98416590Soon
>>98416577I wouldn't read too much into what they don't say. They also don't say anything about the commercial success or popularity of TOW, but I wouldn't write that off as a flop based on that alone.
>>98416501>most successful Age of Sigmar box set (outside of new editions) to dateBig of an obvious exception with Eshin plastic and some Mordheim theming/comparability
>>98416649I see what you did there
>>98416621They're a little fleshy but nothing you might not see on a geezer at Greggs
>>98416615It's also horrendously balanced on a pure points level. The Admech one is a cool 285 points and the Custodes Combat Patrol is 780 points.The AVERAGE is probably close to 500, but there's way, way too many sitting in the mid 300's so there's no real way to "play" Combat Patrol.Maybe 11th will fix this, but I really doubt it.
>>98416621Chop the head off you hobbylet chud
>>98416648I'll believe it when I see it.
>>98416667>285 pointsI knew admech sucked pointswise but wew. Combat patrol boxes are bigger than spearhead ones too.
>>98416672They can't just lie in a scripted faq
>JEALOUS PAVANES>The vain Glorn Goldbeard sends word across the Spiral Crux: he desires skilled dancers to amuse the captains of his sky-fleet. The cunning Fangs of Nulahmia use this to seed agents into his court, but the grace of the vampires galvanises a competitor. At the height of a decadent airborne ball, the Masque of Slaanesh manifests with a lethal flourish. The daemon engages in balletic duels with the Nulahmians, eviscerating them one by one while spurring watching mortals into sadistic frenzies. Only one vampire is spared: Lady Celitha, whose bold if unrefined technique impresses the daemon. Amidst the wreckage of flesh, the Masque bows and offers her a hand. She is not the first to accept the Masque's sinister ‘tutelage’…
>>98416672It'll just be some rules updates like they did for chorfs
>give the only asian in the set dragon themeing what did they mean by this.
>>98416667There is.E.g. 700 point one, units stagger deployment, so if you have 4 units, 1 per turn. Give them pretty useless traits/items etc.285 point one, everything deploys, it all regenerates, give them great battle traits etc
>>98416708Nta but is combat patrol currently doing any of these things?
>>98416713No idea, I don't play Combat Patrol, but it's things Spearhead does that works really well so should be way to incorporate into Combat Patrol
>>98416692They said something soon and that the rules would come sooner than that
>>98416713Yes and no. They make Custodes and Grey Knights just pick one unit to leave behind and not bring to the battle. Most balancing is done by giving different upgrade options to the characters and strategems, while relying heavily on giving a unique secondary objective tailored to each army for "balance" so they can try to win without actually killing anything, but they still evaporate as soon as they get shot.
>>98416722Wait, it doesn't come at all? Not even in round 3 or 4?
>>98416501>licensing in the wake of SM2 Shareholders can do me a solid and pressure for AoS games
>>98416542I would actually really enjoy this an idonethoid>>98416607To be fair aside from the licensing revenue itself these games also bring in customers to gw products. At least the big ones like space marine or total war do, I assume all those 30k/40k mobile shovelware cars games are only played by people into 40k to begin with anyways.
>>98416501>the only female board members are also the only non-white board members This is forced, surely?
>>98416573I don't have numbers in hands, but I think 3 kits per 10 factions end up more kits than the ones we normally get out of the few large waves
>>98416730>I would actually really enjoy this an idonethoidgranted, now your 5th ed huge range expansion is axed
>>98416515I'm sure it was just reported earlier, whereas Spearhead is relatively new. 40kfags would purchase the sets en masse for discounts probably but they only play 2k tournament matched play games in my experience and boarding patrol totally flopped because asking 40k players to have fun doesn't work.
>>98416501Darkwater was explicitly designed around disposability tbf. I expect them to just FOMO cycle in a new box entirely like Khorne themed. Everything is made in the UK and it's really just a book and sprues.
>>98416723You know what, it looks like they actually did change it to work that way in 11th Edition. So at least you get to use all of the models in the Box.
>>98416577Kill Team isn't mentioned at all but I don't think that's indicative of anything.
How does Sylvaneth biology work?Is the tree part like armor?Can they remove it?Can they like exit the tree part?or is the tree part their flesh?Is the humanoid part spirit or actual flesh?Are they like spirits coming out of trees?
>>98416811They're plant people, they have a measure of shapeshifting, the green flesh is green flesh
>>98416811Bug spirits can shapeshift, i assume trees can too
>>98416811They are spirits in the sense that they're very magical beings, and can do a lot of bullshit, but they aren't intangible ghosts
Those are definitely rocks.
>>98416714Man, I want the secret one. Hopefully it's not insanely over-priced on ebay (it will be)
>>98416811>How does Sylvaneth biology work?It hasn't really been explored in detail. Even the RPG where they're a playable core race moistly avoids getting into the weeds of it.
>>98416830The circular motif kinda makes me think it’s nurgle. Could also be a troggoth? I don’t think it’s ghyran related.
>>98416830Chaos mammoth
>>98416816>>98416818>>98416823>>98416844I'm considering starting a Sylvaneth army but I'm a bit autistic about stuff like that. I must know...
>>98415817Yes I'm behind every post you dont like and I'll never stop.
>>98416811The elf part is actually magical plant-fleshHowever even gw seems to confuse things sometimes and describes it as more ghostly on a few occasions. Personally I like the ghost angle more but it's definitely "supposed to be" plant-flesh.>>98416830Interesting. Reminds me a bit of the cankerborn
>>98416811>Is the humanoid part spirit or actual flesh?IIRC there's a single mention somewhere of sylvaneth becoming lighter when resting and heavier when on the move. So you could interpret that as them being able to turn at least partially incorporeal.
>>98416881BL isn't canon. >>98416811It's part of the tree. They can change their form because they're stated to choose to appear as such but it is a grown part of themselves. They also grow their weapons, one subfaction absorbs minerals from their roots to grow hardier weapons of metal. It's like heartwood.
>>98416876>>98416881Thank you. I'm still confused what the fuck are they but thank you.
>>98416893They're trees They grow from seeds The thing in their chest is their seed, which hosts their soul
>>98416901Nta but are they elves, in spirit? I was always a bit confused about that. They grow their "flesh" to be in the shape of elves but idk if their soulpods contain the souls/spirits of elves or if they are more like nature spirits.
>>98416917>Nta but are they elves, in spirit?No. Some of them just kinda look like them.
>>98416917Sylvaneth are nature spirits, dryads, Kurnoth and Treelords are all as much Sylvaneth as the revenants. Revenants take on the shapes of elves in homage to vague memories of ancient protectors (wood elves from WHFB) but that is a choice. Most Sylvaneth are more like dryads than revenants.
All of the aobve is correct, but just for the sake of it, rememeber this featured sheme form the 3e tome?
>>984169271e art was full of more humanoid seeming revs
>>98416927>>98416953I think that's a refrence Sheme is the same
When the FUCK is the ogor box going to be available in Australia?
>>98416973Never. GW abandons the market cause y'all too poor
>>98416965it's an internal guy's army so they both must be based on the same army
>>98416053>DoK coomer sculpting tits in his witch elves>booba>dommy mommies>sexy snake ladiesThats the reason to collect DOK.
>>98416917>Nta but are they elves, in spirit?No, but also yes for a few of them, maybe, and even then they wouldn't know.
Does anyone have a pdf of the COS 4th edition battletome?
>>98417051I don't think we have a scan of that yetStill stuck at dok, though we did get sylvaneth a few days ago
>>98417051https://gofile.io/d/IvcdSH
You guys ever play tabletop sim?
>>98417076There is a scene for it, but I personally have been too lazy to sit down at my pc to try fiddling with it. I also keep telling myself to buy it on steam sale but I keep swearing that its gonna be featured in some humble bundle or something later down the line as well. I really should buy it though because I want to homebrew some stuff that just isnt practical in person most of the time.
>>98417074Trees, GHB and CoS within one week? Hot damn scangods are delivering. Now I'm just missing DoK, HoS, and OMT.
>>98417076No
Anyone got iridian the witness (or whatever the generic version is called)?I'm wondering how big the mount is and whether it can fit in a smaller base. Specifically, a 50x50 square.I know it will be hanging off but I want to know if the bottom plastic piece of the model would even fit
>>98417074Amazing, thank you!Now we need DOK, HOS and Ogors when they are avalible.
>>98417076Warhammer games play terribly, the main appeal is the hobby
>>98417074based, the archive grows.
>>98417076Lmao never got this.GW games are almost universally shit, the appeal is the spectacle on the table (so terrain, PAINTED MODELS). TTS removes the only interesting parts of the entire hobby. It's just an extremely shit vidya game at that point.This is the same with every wargames played on TTS.It's literally only for tourney fags to grind away practice games.
If anyone has any Gloomspite Gitz Battletomes for any edition and would like to share them here. I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!
>>98417162Post a painted model with a time stamp
>>98417173All I have is some very old WHFB and 40k stuff or I would.
>>98417074I kneel
>>98417156I do it with a friend in both 40k and AoS. Its fun. I own eldar he has necron, sometimes its just fun to play a game using a rando faction we normally dont play. Of course im only playing with a friend and once in awile my brother. Doing this with randos does sound alot worse.
>>98416341Damn. that is a fair point, and yeah the more I'm seeing greasus is pretty decently sized... I could make him a little throne where redd is...
>>98417162https://gofile.io/d/X5rfnK
>>98417228Thank you so much, Anon! You helped make my day!
>>98417173The fuck why
>>98417234It was most likely aimed at the poster above
>b-b-but total war expansion
>>9841709550x50? I doubt it, he's on a 120mm ovalBecause of his tactical rock I think you could maybe squeeze him on a 90mm, maybe 80 if you're really pushing it, but 50?I assume you're planning to run it as a high elf lord on griffin? Look into converting a gryph stalker or gryph charger instead, though you'd need to source a pair of wings somewhere.
>>98414785They look fine/ok. The only one I don't like is the devil tail one.>>98412781Strange, Jap usually are way more racist than us.>>98413982True. What could sell Stormcucks are the poses but they are all bland in that too.>>98414462Hard pills
>>98414785how many of these fucking steelhelm banner bearers are they going to make
>>98417325hopefully they make more
>>98417325I really wish steel helms followed the asthetic of far lefts.
>>98417338you can probably get something similar by painting their bibs as metal gorgets and their armour as leather
>>98417338no bib does wonders
>>98417156Long distance games with online friends or irl friends separated by distance
>>98417343>>98417342I mean the helms are an upgrade but all the detail on the armor is too smooshed for my liking. I’m sure if it was in heroic scale I would like it more but in true scale it’s just bad. The new banner man doing away with most of the detail and giving a sense of space with the mail sleeves just does a lot.
>Our adventures in the Mortal Realms begin with an exploration of Embergard – a city with a tumultuous past. Loremasters takes a look at the founding of this key strategic location for Sigmar's forces, why it has been almost constantly embattled since its relatively recent settling, and what's happened to it since the Hour of Ruin* to make it a setting for both Warhammer Underworlds and City of Ash Spearhead battles.I have Embergard fatigue.
>>98417376at least we're out of the gnarlwood!
>>98417387we have never left the gnarlwoods, anon
>>98417074I KNEW IT, thanks anon>Scourge are defacto navy>Anvilgard has a strong navy>It gets squatted>Misthaven, replaces it>entirely navy>suddenly they manifest cogforts, no naval battles>Excelsis has a strong navy>Led by the only Scourge character with a book>Navy is entirely squashedThese sons of bitches. They didn't just remove the elves into the background, they scoured the very reason they existed.
>>98416053>>98416112Huh
>>98417376>>98417387We were supposed to have moved on to Spitewood.
>mosscairn*
>>98417397Makes sense after the whole "Morathi takes over the major seaport city" thing
Imagine if the launch factions of 5th are the cities. That would be cool. Who is gonna be the villian faction for 5th? My only real assumption is it will be a faction in need of a refresh.
>>98417442Beasts of destruction
>>98417442i think its gonna be ghouls and matching them with CoS would be kino.
>>98417422>we leave the gnarlwoods>we reach the spitewoods>read the flavor text>it's just more gnarlwoods
>>98417442unfortunately we are headed to stormies vs chaos undivided the ideal opponent for cities would be zombies
>>98417477I do not believe that is the case. I'm still pretty sure Boole fucked up, saw the new starting box for TOW and just assumed that was the starting box for the new shit since he's an idiot.
>>98417511he was confident enough about the grimmer look of stormcastsit's absurd to think he hallucinated them or didn't see the chinks
>>98417521he also said that Cathay was gonna be brought to AOS as it's own army alongside knockoff bretts
>>98417526No he didn’t.
>>98417530
>>98417526>>98417537Nta but he's since clarified those are just background blurb factions, with "as much chance as coming to the game in model form as silent people".
>>98417547Like he clarified about beastmen being in the starter box... Or slaanesh...
>>98417554I can see slaanesh being in a starter box if only because of how relevant no matter what with 5th edition.
>>98417554Clarified that those wouldn't be in the starter box, yes.Worth noting that whitefang back me up has also corroborated the StD starter set rumours. Don't get me wrong, I hope they're incorrect here because StD starter would suck, but it is looking pretty likely unfortunately.
>>98417547He "clarified" that like over a month later, when everyone else and their mom could tell they were just lore blurbs.
>>98417567>Clarified that those wouldn't be in the starter box, yes.After first claiming they would, is the important thing. Boole is not always right. Why I'm also old enough to remember when there was nothing else coming to TOW except more Cathay and also all the TOW armies would get souped into hybrid abominations, which totally happened.
>>98417567Having 2 chaos starter boxes in a row would be absolute garbo, and the last world rumors while I'm sure some shit will happen I'm skeptical at how accurate any of the shit being said has been since the amount of changes and clarifications really haven't sold this shit to me.Like we've already seen a few weird errors, anyone remember when Queek was supposed to be in the new skaven stuff but it was really just whitefang ( been awhile was it him?) just kinda mixed up the new Skaven on gnawbeast with that.
>>98417582>Why I'm also old enough to remember when there was nothing else coming to TOW except more Cathay…I mean yeah. Pretty much what happened besides the chaos shit that recently shoved out for tow>TOW armies would get souped into hybrid abominations, which totally happened.It’s gonna start with warriors and beasts. They’ve already depicted them both as hordes of chaos.
>>98417597God, imagine beastmen getting effectively squatted again and forced back into chaos warriors.
>>98417602They’ve effectively already been doing that with Aos tho to begin with. Just for the flavored legions.
>>98417605Eh, monogod gors were already a thing so that's not too crazy. I'm still under the belief if Beastmen return they're gonna be destro and de-chaosified by Gorkmaorka and following Kragnos as a god of Mindless Destruction (Which was always kind of the beastmen's thing) they'd also fit the destro aspect of no one wearing shirts
Does anyone think some armies may be squatted for TLW ? If yes, which one do you think are most at risk ?
>>98417346Then you make plans for a fun weekend long gaming event. Fully painted everything, a big capstone battle, etc TTS is shit full stop.
>>98417620Probably grey knights
>>98417582I mean tow did effectively get nothing but cathay until like last month to be fair.But about the starter, yeah, it's a bit unclear what the fuck is going on. If it is StD, it might not even strictly be chaos warriors (which would be weird as tow just did them), but something like belakor's warcry warband or something. Cities of sigmar but evil essentially. aos lost and the damnedCould be fucking beastmen but souped into StD. Could be another darkoath wave. Who fucking knows. >>98417597>>98417602I don't think they'll actually soup them again, I just think he means lots of the arcane journals will focus on mixed lists. Tow has like 8 core factions, no reason to start souping them.
>>98417290Yeah you got me.Shit I'll look into those options. Thanks for the reply anon stay frosty
>>98417620Fyreslayers, they get squatted and then just made into generic dwarves.That's it, nothing else.
>>98417624 ?
>>98417620No armies are getting squatted unless you count FS and DoK getting turned into new larger factions that still include all their old options
>>98417266No it was aimed at the beggar. Nothing is free
>>98417442nighthaunt need a refresh badly. Either them or Tzeentch or dark elves.
>>98417625>I don't think they'll actually soup them again, I just think he means lots of the arcane journals will focus on mixed listsThe point is Boole went on a entire huge unhinged rant about how all the factions would be souped and destroyed when it was probably just an AJ or two with alternate lists. In the same way he had a huge sobbing manbaby crying breakdown about how TOW would get Cathay and only Cathay at a time when every other TOW leaker knew Chaos was coming. And it wasn't just recently either, the Marauder box came out last year. My point is simply that Boole is an unreliable narrator who often gets things wrong even when he is given accurate information. You have to take what he says with a huge heaping of salt sometimes.
>>98417645I do actually agree that boole is far less reliable when he's talking about stuff that's not explicitely "this model is coming and it looks like that"
>>98417645>Boole is an unreliable narratorlist one one
>>98417469Grim.
>>98417666boole said grell would have a giant cannon for an amputated prosthetic arm but instead she has a giant cannon she holds with her amputated prosthetic arm and he said we would get chaos troggoths but we got the cankerborn which look like troggoths but are demons if you actually know what you're talking about lmao
>>98417666One what? A reliable narrator?I'm not saying Boole's leaks are worthless, I'm just saying people who quote him like his every decree is the unchangeable word of god are silly, and have probably never subjected themself to the unfiltered Boole who self deletes two minutes later constantly and for good reason. Boole leaks should be interpreted as they are, the words of a sweaty retard trying and mostly failing to convey the glimpses of truth conveyed to him by his actual sources, akin to a blind man attempting to describe an elephant.
>>98417666Nurgle troggoths Dok losing the schisim Something about sylvaneth doing a case of friendly fire Probably more than i can remember
>>98417701That's a little harsh. Maybe when it comes to behind the scenes shit he's clearly talking out of his ass at some points but when it comes to models he's generally pretty damn accurate. He obviously has access to some information besides just the pure look of the model, as he correctly stated a bunch of the new ogre lore (e.g. morga overthrowing her father, redd going down to shyish to talk to whatever the maw is now, grell working for tahlia at some point, ...) but at the same time he sometimes fills in the blanks snd exaggerates shit based on a quick glance. For example grell going from essentially a leadbelcher with a prosthetic hand, to "having her entire right side rebuilt into an artillery piece". I think he or his source is involved in printing in some capacity.
Unironically that one schizo anon who kept bitching about leaks would be in heaven right now
>>98417729what are you talking about ?
>>98417735A few months back when all the leaks were happening, nurgle, ogors, TLW, there was some anon who would shizz out every thread and scream that leakers were all freaks.I remember him saying everyone respected leakers and that we were "trying to fuck the weatherman" or some shit.
>>98417701>akin to a blind man attempting to describe an elephant.Yeah no that makes sense, especially because numerous times he's said "I don't know shit about AOS, I just kinda read whatever or see models and relay it back"
>>98417706didn't read the Sylvaneth battletome huh
literally anyone could guess we'd get a cogfort or nurgle would get pestigors lbrrumoursloppa is pure coincidence and it's another poster who leaks photography not even the bolefag
>>98416501>GW's new financial report is live,Where can i read this?
>>98417955literally just google gw financial report
>>98417958found it
>>98417984don't bother they're suppressing reports of TOWs success until they release DEI minis it's so obvious profits are up because of TOW but they don't disclose it
>>98417526no, he just said those factions or something like them were mentioned
>>98418022
>>98418022Interesting that dividends per share are down from last year but everything else is up
>>98418022>that's a man baby
>>98418059I truly hate flails
>>98418072I like them but aside from slaaneshs I don’t like how gw has executed on them so far
>>98418095The only way I can justify flails to myself is when they're on a really long pole and very few GW models do that
>>98418108Oh. Personally I think those look something awful. Two handed flails just look rather off on minatures.
>>98418025>no, he just said those factions or something like them were mentionedHe said a lot more than that initially. He only backed down much later.
>>98418139>He said a lot more than that initially.No, he didn't.
>>98418139>>98418166he just said some new factions were coming to aos, not kislev, not cathay, etc.The only one he gave some extra info on was the blacksteel autarchy where he said they specialize in gunpowder, have some illustrations and a place on the map, and that they kind of overlap with skaven and chorfs thematically
>>98418166>No, he didn't.Yes he did. Stop trying to rewrite the past to make him look better.
>>98417621>just make plans to fly multiple people and their armies across continents for a one weekend event>or just play online with each other multiples times, for the cost of the gameHmm. Wow. A real thinker on which to choose
>>98416690I like to think Glorn Goldbeard survived the whole thing, confused about what just transpired
>>98418180>Yes he didAt literally no point he said anything about those factions, such as inclusions as models or rules, other than they were mentioned in the rulebook.
>>98418108Warhammer isn't realistic
>>98418338
>>98418340This image really does lose value the more I see it
>>98417088DoK tome never ever.
I really like this.
>>98418454I don't.
>>98418454I really like the engineer adding another lens
>>98418454SOVL but CoS is anti-soul and I fully expect the Hurricanum to get squatted or TOWed soon
>>98418454Did it always have skulls on them?
>>98418504CoS is the original sovl armyAlso the hurricanum is already legends'ed (quite inexplicably), this is an ironweld cannon
>>98418535The hell? They still sell it
>>98418454
>>98418535I can imagine CoS getting their own hurricanum but instead of Hysh/Azyr, it's Aqshy/Ghyran
>>98418535CoS is souless now, you can't even have a background duardin token on the cogfort or something In the fluff every army uses the same equipment, fights in the same way, etc. CoS is less creative than imperial guard because they have a tonne of planet based variants and whole ranges of miniatures exploring that diversity
>>98418625>GuardsloppaNow this is truly soulless
>>98418625>whole ranges of miniatures exploring that diversityYeah! You got Cadians, you got Krieg... You got...Uhhh... And.... Well there's a few kill teams and metal models they put out every now and again! There's those old Rambo Catachans those... uh...
>>98418638I'm not a 40k player tbf but that mogs CoS and they probably have rules for more. Peaches' Imperial Guard kitbashes for fluff and art whereas they aren't even included in AoS material
>>98418649>they probably have rules for more
>>98418563Lmao you're right, they do. Made me double check the battle profiles and they're definitely still going to legends. Odd.
>>98418649Tbf cities got reworked from being just a bunch of random fantasy models all of like 2 years ago, as opposed to guard which has shit going back as far as like 20 years back. Also I have no clue who peach is.but 79% of guard is still cadia slop, 20% is krieg, the the last 1 percent is whatever leftover crap GW has yet to remove because they're afraid some nerd in Nordshireburg or whatever UK shithole will firebomb their offices.
>>98418649>Muh e-celeb
I think I probably would consoom a chaos city army if it did become a thing. Lost and the damned has been my number 1 request of 40k.
>>98418821>chaos city armyGod I hope they don't do that, Chaos already has enough bullshit as is and they literally scrapped every single "cultist" esque unit with the warcry warbands.
>>98418821>>98418834Chaos "Cities" is represented on the table by Darkoath's rules whether anyone likes it or not. Just use different models, no one will blame you.
>>98418853I'd blame myself for playing darkoath
>>98418649I mean it's a 40 year old army vs a 10 year old army, I'd hope the guard would have a little more variety, but even so I don't think it's 4x the variety in either visual or gameplay.
>>98418853thats not at all what that is.
>>98418857What do you mean anon, they have so much!
>>98418676Peachy is a Warhammer ex-employee who, just like Duncan Rhodes, did painting tutorials alongside other promotional work. He's especially known here for his 100% kitbashed grand-alliance army (from white dwarf) that directly translated to what 2nd edition Cities of Sigmar would be like.
>>98418881irrelevant eceleb
>>98418821It should be done as AoR. AoR are criminally underused and should branch into some wacky combo like ghoul-khorne-ogors blood union or gitmob-vampire wolfgod fanatics
>>98419030I wish AoR's were cool like Pyrofane cult or other shit. Right now It really is just "make a shitty skew list and get moderately worse rules"
>>98419052is that the one with chaos cultist freeguild?
>>98419066Tzeentch cult with AOS artillery ye. Cool concept
>>98419052Even something simple like Ironsunz getting to use Ogres is neat but the official ones are so barebones usually Use one keyword, lose all the traits, and get one artefact
>>98419007I don't think it matters in the context of the discussion who converted the armies, just that they were.
>>98419052There are some cool AoRs. I like throggoths with his wheel of fortune affecting other units. I'm also a sucker for those that lets you take more than one artifact. But the potential is big and everyone accepts that they are weaker, so even if one gets good rules by mistake GW can easily nerf them with no need for constraint
>>98419134I'm still pissed the Deathrattle AOR doesn't let you take Nagash or a Necromancer so you're basically playing SBGL (a faction highly based around magic) with no god damn wizards.
>>98419140Still waiting on skeleton wizard or lich models. Hopefully a pity hero for the end of the edition.
>>98419140I thought that lord Velmorn will be turned into generic skelecaster. I want to buy him but every time I see him I get a little sad. They could also have one artifact that gives you wizard (1) but it's too strong and there was no "on a roll of 3+" involved
>>98419172Ehhh, Velmorn isn't even a wizard in underworlds (though they removed wizards from Underworlds anyways but we'll say in his original iteration) >>98419170The fucked up thing is that WH+ necromancer model would make a perfectly fine wizard but alas no rules and wrong base size.
>>98419179I was in a hopefull state
>>98418338I am well aware of this but "rule of cool" only works when I actually find the thing in question cool
We need an arthropod-based arch-knight.An amphibian one too.
>>98418574kek
>>98419170Anvil of Apotheosis from the battletome
>>98419431How does that help with the deathrattle AoR having no magic?
>>98414753Soon
>>98419633>>98419633>>98419633Migrate when ready
>>98419635We're on page fucking five anon, what are you doing?
>>98419179He has way too much flesh for that. I want a proper boney wizard.
