Which are your favorite? Which will you be incorporating into your games?
Turning this lad into a magical bolt thrower with the Hunter's Spear is incredibly satisfying, holy shit.
>>98466776>Which will you be incorporating into your games?The new miscast table for sure
Rolled 6 (1d15)>>98465622 #Also, has anyone ordered/printed highland miniatures "Gallia" before? Is 28mm or 32mm more appropriate? Thinking of placing an Etsy order or finding some locally
>tqI really like the ring of doom and the infernal familiar. Is Doombolt a good spell? No! But is it a fun spell? Yes!
Sell me on what Empire province I should make my guys from (after I rebase them).
working on this guy
>>98466834Looks really, really good. Thousand Sons/Admech/Sylvaneth/Lizardbro?
>>98466841Thanks anon and yeah that's me
>tqChanneling is exactly what I was dreaming off. Dice pools but not as strong as the 8e ones. Just perfect
>>98466811DrakwaldSolandSylvaniaSee a theme?
>>98466846You have a very distinguishing knack with colors. I did not want to call attention but really love how your stuff turns out!
Is Heavy Armor worth taking on a Warhoof? Centigors only have shields at best, so I feel like I might be wasting points with heavy armor on the attached character.
Empire of Man Battalion is now going for $200+ USD on Ebay. RIP.
>>98467101Why would you buy the battalion?Its not a good starting place for an army
>>98467107The previous price per box was very good and seemed like a good way to really fill out an army?
>>98466762SELLING FAST!
>>98467101I just nabbed one, and it might've been the last one on a store shelf in my entire city. Looking forward to starting Empire finally.>>98467107Cause it's a whole lot of cool miniatures for a decent price. Not like any of the battalions actually give you a playable army, it's mostly a bunch of core filler. Which is important in its own right. The Empire one is on the better end as well, you basically just need some characters and artillery, plus knights possibly, and you're kind of set.
>>98467161>I just nabbed one, and it might've been the last one on a store shelf in my entire city. Looking forward to starting Empire finally.I envy you but hope you enjoy it, Anon!
>>98467101It's so shameful how Warhammer has turned into FOMO shit. Seriously, it wasnt like this in the old days. The saddest part is how new players genuinely think it's normal and don't know any better. The can't comprehend what the problem is, in fact they even mock you when you sing of days of glory
Yo I know 2k is the "normal" list arbitrated because 40k fags do it, and yes I know battle march can be very fun getting into it. But from genuine experiance what is a good point value that (you) like to playsomething that doesnt take all day, yet lets you take some fun toys and feels like a grand battle
>>98467168Thanks. I was holding off on it because I want to finish my current project first, but I noticed it was sold out basically everywhere except this one small local store. And 2 out of their remaining 3 boxes were sold earlier this week while I was trying to decide if I should go for it. Now to decide who these guys are and where they're from. Nuln, Stirland and Marienburg are sadly overrepresented where I'm from, even though I love them as well.
>>98467200It's not really FOMO when the battalion were around for 2 years. It's just that they are better deals mostly than the Battle Marches. Nothing more or less.
>>98467200Is your problem that people are trying to buy their miniatures at a discount rather than full price?
Wife went and bought roughly 1500 points of Dark Elves thanks to a sale of the now OOP AoS boxes. Guess I am starting High Elves so we can have thematic battles.
>>98467216I can top that.>Come home from getting groceries.>Wife is busy in my shop, using the lathe.>Decided on a whim to build a new gaming table for our rec room.>Modular and designed to make vertical maps for Necromunda "more accessible".>Now she is giggling and 3D printing on both of the printers we have.>Mentioned she needed to use the drill press.I'm scared.

Which faction lets me field the most suede?I want to snuffle around for acorns, walnuts and roots
>>98466811Stir River Patrol
>>98467262I do, but the last time this happened she spent two months lovingly crafting a Wraith based Eldar army and board to go with it. Over a hundred hours of slaving away painting cherry blossoms and often forgetting to eat, unless I reminded her. I love her and that we share hobbies but she gets autistic about it.
>>98467268I think orcs by a mile, the beastmen
Thoughts on converting the new cultist unit from March of Chaos?
>>98467262Have you see what women who like Warhammer look like? Not exactly something to thank God about
>>98467303They look like men usually
>>98467303I have only ever in my life seen men and troons play this game
The girlfriends and wives of many of my gaming buddies are into painting miniatures but none of them play the game or have interest in the setting.
Women of Warhammer
>>98467363would smash but not tell my friends
>>98467368We know you would manlet, but you’re probably too short for him.
any fun stuff incl in Sylvania? HoC is neat but cultists are underseasoned
>>98467390My cock would turn that fags anus asunder
>>98466554MoN is probably the best mark. It's 1/6 less damage against everything WS 5 and lower. It's about the same as +1 Toughness or upgrading the ward save a point.
>>98467363
>>98467402>cultists are underseasonedMaybe we will get a cultist army at some point. Maybe it's time to start home brewing.
>>98467390Perry Derangement Syndrome
>>984672021500.you have enough points for like 1 centerpiece but it doesnt turn into age of sugma or 40k
How's TOW? Ever since 11th edition of 40k was revealed I lost every drop of motivation to keep working on my first army.
>>98467470Probably the best overall edition of Fantasy all things considered. The main complaint was the simplified magic system, which is being massively beefed up with this latest journal. If you played any edition of Fantasy from 6th onwards, you will find it very familiar. It's basically 9th edition/a best of edition.
>>98467473Why do guys who has only ever played TOW post shit like this?
>>98467479I started in 6th actually. And you have no models and you play no games.
>>98467470It's really good. Like the other guy said it's basically just 9th edition. A bit more complex in terms of the core rules for the most part. If you're coming from 40k, the core rules are far more dense/there is more to learn. But once you learn the core rules you know 90% of the game. There is no such thing as stratagems and every unit having a special ability like in 40k. There is also a lot more customization, you can build characters/units in a granular manner.
>>98467470It’s an anomaly in the modern Games Workshop space. It’s a game that plays like their games did 10-25 years ago. It’s infused with tons of roleplay like flavor and has very little gamey abstraction that forms the core of the modern 40k/AoS experience. It’s fundamentally a different game with a different philosophy that doesn’t exist outside of TOW.
>>98467473Nice. I was talking to a guy at the lgs and apparently there's around four people there getting into it, so unless my first game of 40k when I actually finish my dudes knocks me off my feet I'll probably look at collecting warriors or cathay instead of 40k eldar.>>98467484I haven't played any 40k games myself, I'm basically just a paint project autist. The reveal for 11th and it seemingly not changing much just really deflated me.Thanks for actually discussing what it'd be like for a complete newfag.
>>98467504Good luck anon, definitely try to get a game of TOW in when you can. It's a lot of fun and feels more like a wargame, if you play 40k you'll know what I mean probably when I say it feels less like a wargame and more like a game.
Avalorn/brickleberry guy herePrinting the 750 list now, pic related are a few models I used for ghost archipeligo which inspired me to make avalorn again. they are the basis of what my elves will look like and the many of the ones in the pic will be rebased on squares.With that said for the bases what do you think will work better>Autumn forest: orange to contradict the green of the modelsor>Summer forest: green to blend with the green of the modelsandBlack base rims or brown base rims
>>98467504>40kuck can't finish painting his army Please stay in 40k
>>98467643As you already got green models, and it's a pretty usual colour for elves, got with autumn colours, orange and browns
>People STILL lose to CathayDid you know we, across everything, have three viable units? Shugens, our cannons, and warriors.That's it.>But you win so many tournaments, blah blah blahlol.Cathay will get a third release soon. Thank god.
>>98467497>It’s infused with tons of roleplay like flavor and has very little gamey abstraction that forms the core of the modern 40k/AoS experience
Lmao, that one, sad Anon is still so bitter that someone else had fun playing TOW. What a cuck.
>>98467661Anon proves he has no imagination :)Pity this man
>>98466786>Is 28mm or 32mm more appropriate28mm puts their skeletons at an identical size to the 7th edition ones, and their Sunland spearmen at an identical size to the 6th edition empire spearmen and 7th edition wizards kit. (When I say identical, I mean their eyeline is identical down to the mm, I measured them with digital calipers) So I'd imagine 28mm is best for Gallia too.
>>98467661It’s so funny that you literally spend all day here shitposting. Wasting your limited time impotently spreading hatred. You are a sad human being.
>>98467643I like brown base rims. It’s a bit old school but I am fine with being a grog. Although I think black looks good too. It’s a bit too modern for my tastes.
>>98466776>TQActually pretty impressed. I'd prefer the dice pools to be generated at the start of each turn but that's a nitpick compared to what we actually got from this AJ. Will be using the dice pool and the miscast table, and maybe the magic ploys, but I feel like that starts to verge on rules bloat and game-momentum-breaking gotchas, a bit like stratagems were. I have a half painted chaos army and will be using the gifts table. Might paint up some beastmen eventually too. I have a bunch of hooded cultists that I've been using as marauders, I see no reason to start using them as cultists really, it's nice to have the option but it's not thematically distinct enough for me to want to use a whole new unit profile for them.>>98466834Lovely painting!
>>98467643Orange base, brown rim. Looking good for far, Brickle.
>People still do this day fear CathayHi, Cathay player. I got into old world because of my friend a year ago any I preorded everything.Anyways you see Cathay on tourney results and it makes you oooh so mad, sooo angry, sooo maaaad! How dare a faction be really good!Would you like to know my faction's weakness? It's many a fold. a) we have nothing that can fully get through 2+ armor save 6 on crane gun shotsb) wow, are infanry can be pretty defensive! -2 from lances and flails makes it a 5+, aka near worthless.And we can only swing swords + shields, we cannot be creative and do halberd swaps.Do you need more? Just ask. It's funny, Cathay is actually garbage. Complete shitty. 2 melee units 3-ish ranged units but lanterns make both foot groups poor, amazing artillery, and a poor behe. Now what?
>>98467743>60%wr doesn't matter because I cannot play the game.Lmao.
>>98467661Are you implying WHFB boards wouldn't also look like this?
>>98467756>WR dictates everythingI can't pity you enough, truthfully. You don't even have an argument,, you just have stats that you have no idea why they're the way the are, you're just a drooling tard.
>>98467743Yeah, if you look at tourney lists, they look nothing like what a normal cathay player would play. Just spam of the most efficient units. Then again, I pity anyone that tortures themselves with competitive tabletop.
>>98467770I'm the drooling tard in a scenario where you cannot effectively play the objectively best army in the game?>"Cathay is actually garbage"Translates to:>I'm so unbelievably fucking shit at this gamePlay whatever you like man but if you are gonna come here and have a melty about cathay being shit I'm just going to laugh at you.
>>98467661Oh no no no. This is what r/totalwar told me to spend $500 on???
>>98467789Redditors dont paint there minisTrue gamers paint there minis even if they never see the table
>>98467107The empire battalion is pretty good. You get a big brick of state troops (can convert some missiles to halberdiers very easily).I built 30 swordmen, 10 halberdiers (I put them in the front ranks if I want to run halbers instead of hw+s) 10 handgunners and 10 crossbows and of course the most kino piece of them all, the steam tank.
So Battlemarch of all things is getting some interest, and I want to push it over the edge.I've been looking at Orcs and Goblins, specifically a Nomadic Waagh.From what I understand they're real limited in 2k points, but what about 500? Unit of boar boys, big unit of wolf riders with Kik and a couple of chariots to play the chaff game doesnt sound so bad. What do you guys think?
>>98467869Just go thematic, pick the models you own and/or look cool
>>98467872Thats what I'm doing. I want to play a Goblin khan running across the badlands, but I dont want it to be unplayable either so I came to ask.What else are you fuckers talking about? bitching about reddit again?
i got some empire knights, still don't know which order works best with nuln aside from knights griffons, which i don't want to paint because i find their colours ugly and i don't like their lore>>98467864absolutely stunning paintjob mate that is beautiful, hope my state troops will look half as good when i get around to painting them
Played a 500 point Battle March game against some stunties! We used the new scenario in the BM book with the bridge and river. It was bloody.After running amock on another raiding party in the Mountains, Snagrog sought a safe passage back to the tribes main base of operations. The plunder had been great. The wolf riders had found a bridge which they noted would cut the travel time down by almost four days. However, upon arriving at the location, a band of Dwarfs had caught the Orcs unaware. Snagrog's lads were unprepared, sullen and lazy after meeting little opposition during the plundering and quickly formed battle lines in haste. The Dwarfs had come from a local Karak, seeking revenge from a previous encounter with Snagrog. So it was, battle was joined!A Dwarf slayer, selected as champion for the Dwarfs, roared a challenge at the bridge. Grimtoof, the Beleagured Black Orc, guffawed but despite his size and strength, dismissed the challenge but was fearful inwardly of being cut down.Boss Borzag of the Big uns stepped forward and thus, began the battle.
>>98467931Boss Borzag and the slayer exchanged many blows and though it looked like the Orc would take the day, Snagrog saw the Stunty quickly parry and repost, dealing a fatal strike to Borzag, toppling his body into the ford.He grunted, disappointed he woukdn't get a chajce to fight Borzag himself. "GET EM LADZ!" The orcs surged forward, Snagrog's big uns marching on the bridge. The Slayers met them and the fighting was ferocious. Snagrog called a challenge and a scarred stunty pushed forward to meet them. Snagrog swung overhead, hoping to slay the stunty quickly. It ducked, and with great skill, struck Snagrog in between his armour plates, dealing a terrible wound.Snagrog wailed in pain, but quickly recovered and with a second swing, cut the stunty in two. Despite taking terrible casualties, the Slayers held.Another Slayer stepped forward to meet Snagrog, but this time the Orc was too slow. Once more a flurry of blows were thrown and once more another deadly blow landed. Snagrog plummeted from the bridge into the ford, leaving his army to fight alone! A great cheer erupted from the Dwarfs, as they surged forward, the Dwarf Thane and Longbeards charging into the big uns.
Got a brand new chaos bataillon filled with 10 old knights, 32 old warriors and a couple of chariots, for 206$ CAN, might be all right with my beastmen for ahorse of Chaos army.WoC players, is the bataillon a good deal? I,m not intrested in the next models at all.
ANYONE GOT THE UNIFORMS AND HERALDRY OF THE SKAVEN?I CAN'T FIND IT ON THE MEGA
>>98467483NTA but I don't believe you. I've never met, nor previously ever seen or heard anyone who played 6th describe TOW as the best Warhammer edition. Some of the 8thfags will go that far because TOW moderates the worst excesses of 8th without fully RETVRNing to the superior 6th which many of them really dislike, but people who got off the paypig carousel before 8th play TOW grudgingly if at all.
>>98467949Grimtoof watched as Snagrog plummeted into the river, his giant green body being washed away. With Borzag and Snagrog gone, maybe he could be boss! Even Grotfang Crazyboar had gotten shot up by the stunty guns. That is, only if he could get his boyz out of the river. Grimtoof's boyz had struggled as soon as he bullied them into the river but unfortunately, a few had already been washed away!Through the rushing water and brutal waves, Grimtoof watched the Big uns flee from the Stunties, high tailing it faster than a gobbo being chased by a squig."Push! PUSH THROUGH IT!"Another Orc went rushing down the river screaming. After a valiant effort, asmuch as orc could, what few boyz remained careened into the Dwarfs, with the remaining arrer boyz fighting at the front.Grimtoof shoved his way to the Stunty boss. A flurry of Choppa swings and gutteral roars was met with stoic silence. No blow had landed. Through the press of battle and cries of the wounded, the Dwarf cut down Grimtoof.All that was left was the few fleeing boyz who continued to be washed away by the river and the rallied big uns.The Stunties took the day but the Orcs will be back!!
>>98467864Thank fuck you painted the cloth jackets as such, some retards actually paint those in metallics because they're too monkey-brained to tell the difference
>>98467931>>98467949>>98468038Good show, thanks for another battle report! Surely the Boyz will rally, Snagrog will show up with some new scars and the waaagh will go ever onward!
>>98467119>>98467161>>98467864No, a good battalion would drop the steam tank, given you 2x cannon/mortar + knights and give you slightly less infantry.Thats a perfect battalion
>>98468011Alternatively, I can get the kngihts and warrriors minus the chariots (which I never used anyway with my Beastsmen) for 190$.
>>98468059Too bloody right! However, I am doing a mini kitbash of a Warboss with a choppa and shield. Grimtoof may have another prospective rival of power to come up.Also, this may sound odd, but is it possible for Black Orcs to reject other Black Orcs in a tribe? Was going to have, potentially, Grimtoof being refused to join his black orc buddies as they think he's too soft, hanging round the regular orcs too much.
Any good Elf related books for Fantasy? Reading the army books after seeing a gorgeous, old army at my LGS today and feeling a strange spark of desire to have one of my own and to know more about the Asur and Wood Elves. Dark Elves are cool too.
>>98468030have you tried hentai gallery?
>>98468030aHR0cHM6Ly9nb2ZpbGUuaW8vZC9SeDF3a28=
>>98468083Always fun to kitbash and make a custom character. I do not think it sounds odd either, while Black Orcs are their own subspecies of Orc, they tend to be very conservative and focused on the art of "proper" war, in their own views. A Black Orc who acts like one of the Boyz could be seen as un-Black Orcy and shunned or krumped. Maybe stripped of his trademark load of choppas and armor and cast out until he becomes a proper Black Orc?
>>98468084Really liked The Sundering, which someone will be upset about because it's written by Thorpe. Terrible Eldar-writer, but this one was enjoyable for many reasons. It's also a very important part of the high elf (and dark elf) history. Some shit here is genuinely cool.By comparison, I found the Tyrion and Teclis trilogy by William King dreadfully boring and amateurish. But everyone loves him because he's the Gotrek and Felix guy.Haven't read the Malus Darkblade books or anything wood elf related.
>>98468109why is he riding a donkey
>>98468113it's actually a dragon-blooded steed
>>98468060That'd be the way to go if you wanted the most readily playable army in a single box, sure. But I want a steam tank because they're cool.
>>98467949The slayer and boss dueling in that little strip of carpet looks like something out of an old samurai movie with a little theatre of the mind, good batrep anon!
>>98468089I think they got rid of that
>>98467661people get mad at this post but notice how no-one offered a refutation?
>>98468410Read again
>>98468243Thanks man. We didn't have a bridge so that had to make do. We did find it cinematic like you too though! >>98468102That sounds perfect. I am split on giving Grimtoof the upgrade to being an actual black orc ingame to match his mini than just fluff, but then the boyz lose their boss. Waa going to make the black orc big boss an aggro bully more than the average orc, so grimtoof wants him gone.
>>98468237The meta changes too. At the start of the edition steam tanks were the meta pick for empire. It was an amazing box.
>>98467202The most fun games of TOW I've ever played were at 1000 points. Small enough that you won't see dragons or other such things, but big enough that every army can bring a couple decently sized units and decently equipped characters.
>>98468410A refutation to what? Your lack of an imagination?
>>984673631/10 b8
The craziest thing about their abandonment of epubs for arcane journals is that they're clearly still making them as evidenced by the oopsie battle march compendium upload last month.
Anyone have a screenshot of the channeling part of the book? I have the miscast already.
>>98466776Anyone wanna seed WFB torrent from pastebin link?
>>98468237Tank is a great model to build and paint. Just keep it in as many parts as possible during the process (pic related). I have no idea how it works in ToW but in 6th it's a blast to have a miniature which works like something from other system entirely (still I don't plan to run it in each 2k+ game, seems stronger than most centerpieces - written by non-competetive player)
I have hundreds of goblin arms and heads, does anybody make resin or 3D printed goblin bodies that fit these?
>*ahem*Anyone?
The people YEARN for TOW. Out of stock again.
>>98469150They YEARN for the best deal on the new chaos warriors after seeing the robbery tier battle march box prices
>>98468038Dont give up grimtoof. You will krump again.As long as there is green in your skin and the urge to smash in your heart. You WILL kill the stunties
>>98467709black base rims give a clean boarder and help define the models base.Brown base rims help the base blend into most natural boards. Makes the model look like they are standing on elevated earthBoth have valid if opposite reasoning
>>98469150They’re the only two regularly supported armies in OW so yeah.
What are you working on Anons? I’ve been working on getting my BSB done, hopefully I’ll have most of it done this weekend.
>>98468727>just imagine if the game was good bro!I uh what?
>>98469198Grimtoof had a rough life>tribe gets duffed up by Snagrog>sole survivor, assumed dead>tracks and finds Snagrog's tribe>sneaks in>Snagrog is gormless, thinks he looks strong and makes in charge of a bunch of the ladz>stuck with regular Orcs as their boss>plans to sneak in some black orcs and eventually take over the tribeThere will be some black orcs over the horizon. But if he ends up leading them may be another matter.
>>98466811Nordland
>>98469244Working on a small mini kitbash for a new orc boss. Will post once done.
>>98467202750-1250 has been my sweet spot. Above this is when you start getting big boy units that may just not take damage from anything but a kamehameha wave. Also this size keeps most of the tables I play on from getting really overcrowded.
>>98469097For sub assembly painting you mean? Yeah, seems like a good idea. I'm really looking forward to painting my empire guys in general, but as an O&G player it's a bit intimidating. Greenskins are kind of easy because they don't have to all look the same, and you can get pretty sloppy with their skin or equipment without it looking bad at all. Painting actual uniforms that look clean and nice will be interesting. The steam tank too, I haven't painted anything with such large smooth surfaces yet.
>>98469097I'd almost always take a steam tank to 2k games because it's the only thing I had that could kill or tie up other centerpiece models. Steam powered and armored treads menas this thing can close in with mosnters and at the very least bloody them over the course of 3 or so turns. If the dice are good it will just run over opposing monster units.
What is your all's opinion on the Fall Back In Good Order and Give Ground mechanics? Does it add interesting granularity to combat or does it make things a boring slog?
Have any of you heard of corehammer or low fanasy hammer? I saw the mountain miniwargaming play it and the concept interests meI am bias however as a high elf player since there is not one model in core I dont like
>>98469471well compared to 8th edition where two units would ram eachother. one or two would be removed and then one gets totally destroyed it feels kinda nice
>>98467202500-1k is my preferred so far. Played 1500 with a TERRIBLY squashed list (squeezing every point in upgrades and making heroes overequipped with tiny model count) and got wasted. But hope my next one goes smoother.
you think TOW will ever get a CGI trailer like horus heresy got for their 2nd and 3rd edition?
>>98469471I like it a lot myself. Only thing I'd change is make give ground be a d3. Having that small amount of movement really can matter for how follow up charges and flanking works.
>>98468109Thank you Anon, I'll get to grabbing the books you mentioned! The Sundering seems promising, has to beat the last Gav book I read. Fucking Grudgebearer. Made me hate Dwarfs with a passion.>>98468479Your Batreps and the narrative that goes with them always inspires me to work harder on my Lads. Glad my take on potential Black Orc culture/issues could maybe help!
>>98469512What exactly is the matter woth Grudgebearer? Because Fall of Dragonback Mountain made me love dwarfs.
>>98469512>Made me hate Dwarfs with a passion.Me, the skaven, the orc and the high elf welcome you to our club
>>98469554Honestly, it just made the Dwarfs come off as hyper autistic, self-destructive, spiteful to the max assholes. All the talk of common sense and ancestral knowledge ignored for the sake of either trying to end or cause a grudge. The last line of the book was the final nail in the coffin for me. The King makes a comment that even if a grudge kills him, it is ok because his heir will be forced to see it fulfilled. Paraphrasing somewhat, as I do not want to grab my copy of the book from the garage storage. Dwarven culture is fascinating and they have some interesting tidbits and PoV stuff in Grudgebearer, but it still ends up showing them as gold obsessed, "honor" obsessed, long lived and spiteful over even the most irrelevant things they thing might stain their supposed honor. The battles against the Goblins and Skaven are very well written at least.>>98469571As a fellow Orc player I salute you for your hatred of the stunty menace.
>>98469471Legitimately a good mechanic imo.
HASHUT
>>98469682I don't think that's how the weapon would heat up
>>98469699The dwarf metal gauntlets and armor are draining the heat away from the chamber while the fire enchantment of the axe part keep the end of the barrel heated.
>>98469682I said it before, but I really like how you did the fiery effects as well as the lighting on the helmets. Good work, anon!
>>98469712Thank you anon. The only thing noteworthy about about this paint scheme is that I only used my darkest brown and an "iraqi sand" color which is dark beige and the models turned out kind of green.That really showed me how we can only see colors in a manner that is relative to another color next to it.I'd like to use that more in the future.
>>98469378Only sensible answer so far
Please seed the torrent of wfb material, loads of people are stuck at 99%. I will seed afterwards
>>98469682Sick.Seeing chorfs makes me happy.
>>98469581So you don't like the book because it faithfully depicts the culture and mentality of the dwarfs? Thrope's brief foray into dwarf writing is literally the only thing of value he ever produced at BL.Also >>98468109, the reason everyone loves Bill King is because he's as good an author as Proud Stepdad Thorpe is a shitty ideologically motivated boring one. I know this place tries to condition people to believe that being the outlier means you've grasped some deep underlying truth that others have missed, but the reality is much more often that if everyone else hates/likes something that you like/hate, you just have shit taste.
>>98470136>the reality is much more often that if everyone else hates/likes something that you like/hate, you just have shit taste.That is almost never the case actually
>>98470136>faithfully depicts the culture and mentality of the dwarfsBreh it's literally just one battle report after another with very little actual insights into dwarf culture.
>>98470136I like the idea of conservative, hard working, family and hold oriented dwarfs. They are a race of long lived, (generally) wise due to their years and slowly fading beings. They have a unique culture and beliefs, they are human at times but also incredibly alien as well. What I dislike is how even the slightest potential issue leads to a grudge being called and suddenly the Dwarf holds are going into grudge-war after grudge-war, or threatening to kill hundreds or even thousands of innocents while going "Well I am King and despite being out of my kingdom, on your human home if you do not do what I say I will butcher you and make you enemies forever of the Dwarf people!" They feel schizophrenic, either noble survivors or angry Boomers who are channeling the Karen ancestors in that everything has to be their way or they will destroy everything. I will not begrudge others for liking the Dwarfs in Warhammer, but after Grudgebearer, Grudgelore and a few short stories and whatnot, my interest and appreciation of them has faded. But that is my personal opinion and everyone is welcome to their own.
Man dwaves just have shitty lore along with the expectations people want from them.
>>98470241The only people I ever met who dislike dwarfs are women and short men.
>>98470230i think you just don't like Thorpe's take on dwarfs
>>98470230I actually liked Grudgelore but that's a whole other thing.
>>98470255That is very possible. I also was an early adopter of AoS. Fyreslayers and Kharadron armies, rebased a bunch of my WHFB stuff for Cities/Dispossessed/Ironweld. Ended up falling away from both games as the lore and narrative made KO turn from flying capitalists to absolute backstabbing, "It is ok to screw over non-Duradin if you make money" greedy bastards that ever the Skaven would disapprove of. Fyreslayers did not get flanderized that badly, but they always were the mercenary dwarf army who would fight for any chance of Ur Gold.>>98470277I liked how it was presented and the content. I just feel that perhaps I've grown out of Dawi.
>>98466781Yeah the 360 facing of chariots makes him an extra fun platform for zooming around and spear chucking / casting.
>>98466811Stirland, and your Lord exclusively fucks Halfling women.
>>98470337What a life
>>98470337Living the dream.
>>98470337Can they cook?
>>98470369They can bake two things at once while carrying three cakes at once.
>>98470369Yes, the best in fact
>>98469484No but you have piqued my interest. Tell me about it. I'm at work so can't watch it >>98470337I know people post this type of thing to be quaint or whatever, but really it's very sad to see what pornography has done to the minds of the modern man. I feel sincere pity for the victims of it because I know their brain chemistry is irreversibly fucked. Everyone knows that no one would ever say that to another person irl because it's weird and cringey, but here they feel comfortable enough to anonymously reveal their true dysfunctional nature
>>98470136This reads like you are letting your own bias affect your judgement.
>>98469682You should be proud of your modelsWhat will you base them as? I think a cool light scheme like blue sands might be a good contradiction do the dark and hot models
Once again GW takes a giant shit all over the competitive scene with unbalanced lolrandom stuff inspired by 90's era Warhammer. And this is after stuff like the Sky Lantern nerf. And to top off the shit Sunday the tournaments here are now having 40% of your points based on painting score(subjective beauty) and sportmanship(translation: popularity contest). I'm out. I guess I'll be playing MtG again and focusing on Kill Team(until GW decides to turn that into a casual unc Redditor game too).
>>98470808>the competitive scenegood riddance
>>98470808>Sunday the tournaments here are now having 40% of your points based on painting score(subjective beauty) and sportmanship(translation: popularity contest).fucking kek where the hell do you live where that's the standard
>>98470808>goes to Magic: The GatheringYou probably werent a good person to play with anyways and probably smelled badWhether that smell was BO or a festering axe wound is even money
How would your army deal with a Hussite Wagon Fort well positioned into advantageous terrain?
>>98470808This is decent bait. Not amazing, but a lot better than the stuff we usually get.
>>98470808Based. Total Comptranny Death
>>98470836Dont tell them I am almost done painting my empire wagon. I just gotta finish the crew
>>98470808That scroll has been in the game from the start, anon, what the fuck are you on about? Don't leave ass prints on the door.
>>98470808And there it is. Delicious!
>>98470808>having 40% of your points based on painting score(subjective beauty) and sportmanship(translation: popularity contestKek so TRVE and BASED... I love seeing impotent incels and autists seethe and cry. Beauty and popularity (Chad) SHOULD win, it's the natural order of thing. Chad does what he wants, chud suffers what he must.
>>98470863>chad>warhams>fantasy warhams at that, not even AoScmon nigga
>manlet spamming hours
>>98470875Perry Derangement Syndrome
Remember not to respond to the manlet. Just report him for off topic and move on. All we can do.
Does this thread talk much about WFRP? I see its in the OPLooking for a new system to get away from dnd-likes, heard wfrp 5e is slated for this year, any news?
>>98470808Ik this is bait, but good. Competitive players deserve to suffer.
>>98470875>>98470897Anon have you ever noticed that most of us just ignore his posts, but you have to go and make a big deal about it every time? Just ignore it like everyone else instead of giving him exactly what he wants every time.
>>98470836Man. I'm disappointed af the empire war wagon is just like another retarded chariot and not actually a mobile fortress.
>>98470917I just made that post because the other guy responded. Let him samefag to himself like he always does and report
>>98470912WFRP 5e is apprantly coming out this summer so in the next three to four weeksb ut that's only going to be in the PDF version.This 5e is going to be pretty simmiler the 4e, with some minor changes and removal of some of the meta currencies.
Raaroo!
>>98470975Have they given up on the TOW rpg and are just going into 5e full steam?
>>98470986looks like somegor ate too many skaven laced with warpstone
>>98470988They're doing both apparently, but I don't think they have announced any more books for TOWRPG that aren't already for sale
>>98470989it's actually minotaurs who turn into those things, the open maws mutations are the standard
Kind of a stupid question but I've never touched WHFB or Old World before: I have the rulebooks for 6e and 7e WHFB and a bunch of army books for various factions, if I was to get a box like pic related would I be able to use the models for, say, 6e? From what I've seen the miniatures look pretty compatible.Thanks in advance
>>98470999Yes
>>98470997
>>98470999You might need to use smaller bases for some of those models, but other than that, yes
>>98471006
>>98470989You're not too far off, (as per my own fluff) although it is just a rumor, but it is said he was first sighted a year after the ruination of Mordheim in 2000IC, and he has stalked the land ever since.>>98470997I got the idea from a passage in the old WHFB beastmen army book where it was said some have more than one mouth, and it felt like the perfect conversion for a fun mini with a bit of personality rather than "monster #3" who's tagging along my dudes.
>>98471015>>98470997Both can be true, beastmen are often gifted mutations for deeds and the line between mutant, beastmen and spawn is blury and often crossed
>>98470897You are so pathetic
>>98470922At the very least the empire war wagon should have an optional special rule to chain up with other ones to deny an area of he table
>>98471049Go play a narrative heavy game with your friends and report back to us how such a rule/scenario plays out. I am sure you have plenty of friends to play Old World with.
>>98471060So we're firmly moving into the time of Chaos ascension. Glad we didn't have to wait very long.
Would it be funny if it was revealed Frydaal becomes Asavar Kul in time for the Great War?
>>98471057Not enough sadly! I keep trying to get a narrative campaign going with two mates but we always run into scheduling conflicts. The eternal struggle of all 30 something working fathers
>>98471085No, it definitely would not be funny.
>>98471060Shame we can't check the Chaos Dragon since that's not for sale in New Zealand
>>98471057Old World?
>>98470801Thanks, I'll most likely do a classic lava base with some red/orange OSL. I'd like to keep an atmosphere of everything being dark and barely lit by flames.On a side note I'm trying to do the artillery now but I feel like it's missing something (aside from some shading on the metal)
>>98471129
>>98471060>Full page showcase of the chaos dragon in the chaos book>Read the quote>It immediately mentions Cathay yet again
>>98470999As long as the unit (or gear option) existed in 6th edition, yes.
>>98470975are we gonna get some new minis? any showcase on some kind of turnament or other shit?
>>98471210>are we gonna get some new minis?No, GW doesn't give a shit about WFRP. At most, I could see some of the old TEW minis from the 80s getting an MTO, but that seems unlikely.I don't think any RPG company has done a competitive tournament since, like, the 80s. Weird time attack dungeon crawl were not popular
>>98471134try bronze colors for the metall
>>98470389>>98470578Then I’ll allow it, Rupold the Halfling-Lover
>>98471243it is bronze
>>98469968Which book is this in?
Holy fuck these dudes have a ton of Longbows. I love it.
>>98471359>elf archers and tree monsterseeeh
>>98470836The Lady's strongest Grail-sippers care not about your entrenched position. We let it ride (I will fail this charge)
>>984672022-3k. Small games you rarely have chaff or mosspits that take several turns to fight out as the unit sizes are small. Its more swingy as well especially for magic hence I prefer larger points limits. 4k upwards being the best. My group restricts the amount of wizard levels and you can only bring a dragon if the game is big and/or the other player also has one as why the fuck would a dragon or a high end wizard turn up for a shitty skirmish?
>>98470808Competitive fags can fuck off to 40k and AgeofShit
>>98467414Youre forcing a reroll that will most likely roll another hit anyway. And thats in melee, you want to fucking WoC over with other stuff and its still shite for its points as it has no other effects. Its really not comparable to +1T at all. When it was -1 to hit in previous editions sure but not at a reroll 6s. MoS is the only good mark upgrade and I say that as a Khornefag.
>>98471452What is the use case for the mark of Slaanesh, besides the very brief time when great weapon chaos warriors with I5 on the charge were considered as an OK option in very specific scenarios? Acquiescence is kinda alright too, but it has such a short range that having a sorcerer cast it would put him in immense danger.
>>98471494The +1 to initiative makes a difference defensively on the odd situation where you arent the one charging and makes it worth it for great weapons at I5 as thats still "good" especially combined with furious charge. Acquiescence is good in wider moshpits or to dissuade a different unit from charging your own. These are highly niche and finicky but they have actual usecases and always work. MoN is heavily dependant on luck for it to have any effect. MoT is far too niche to spam it, and MoK is crap with the new frenzy rule. MoS is still overcosted at 2ppm and arguably not worth it. But out of the 4 its the only one that isnt total dogshit (or really niche in MoT's case) it at least has an immediate noticeable effect. And thats ignoring the panic immunity though such tests would rarely fuck over chaos to begin with.
>>98471554You know what, fair enough. I accept your analysis and I, though I'm not the anon that originally started this whole discussion, concede the point.
>>98467643> Round basesLmao.Lmao.
>>98471586I also just remembered that you could also use the MoS to fuck over units charging you with great weapons as you hit before them due to I5. This also applies to your great weapon unit as you can chose to simply use handweapons for a turn should they wish since they added the weapon swap rule in with 1.5. Sure they could simply use hand weapons also but you most likely have better armour etc.
>>98467743> Nothing to get through 2+ armorBesides a common magic item that allows no saves, cannons, shug lords with some of the most powerful magic weapons in the game. That's as much as MANY armies get. So this isn't a whine> Infantry so defensive!!!Your infantry are cheap, either WS4 or fucking WS5, with a free armor reroll. You are cheaper dwarfs. And yeah, you stupid fag, 5+ RE ROLLING ONES against fucking lances (who will get what, 6 attacks? Hitting on 4s, rounding on 2s, and you save one, maybe two because of the reroll, and then you either stubborn, which you easily get, lose by one or two, and you have elf like leadership, or they don't have First Charge and you win on static res). You infantry are fine, absolutely fine, for what you want them to do. Lanterns remain overpowered, sentinels would be an auto take in any other army, your TWO unique lores are good, and your lore access is excellent (High Magic wtf), your artillery is incredible, the ONLY sub standard thing in Cathay is your cav, and once you get fucking pegasus knights aka Longmas, your cav will be fine.Your army is absolutely fine, you can have a good game even WITHOUT min maxing like a sweat lord.So shut the fuck up, a LOT of armies don't get to be that lucky
>>98469682NOICE
>>98470808> MtG and Kill Team playerYeah I would drive you out of any game I'm in
Crazy we don't have siege rules for TOW despite a whole AJ focused on the Great Bastion.
>>98470836Chosen and a Hellcannon
>>98471666They know it would be a waste of their time and money: no one would even play it
>>98471697nigger why are you posting my games?
>>98471598I will assume you are b8 because I have no idea how someone could legitimately be retarded
>>98471697So are you the fat ass with unpainted shit or the faggot using age of Sigmar models?
>>98471744nta but there is not 1 aos model on that board.The high elves have white armor but that doesnt make them aos. Again I think you are samefagging because no one is taking your b8This is sad
i hate cathay so much bros
>>98471778
>>98467202I play 8th edition and i like either> small games of 500-750 ptsThey really force you to think about list building and lets different units shine (especially if you want to bring a fun list)or> massive games of 7000 and up pointsSeeing so many units on the table and being able to take one or more of each choice in the book makes for really thematic games; but it does take a lot of time and a lot of space.
>>98471764The (badly) converted spear elves are AoS Lumineth Realmlord Wardens.The elf cav on the right are AoS Lumineth Realmlord Dawn riders.That's two separate 'High Elf' units that are really AoS shit
>>98470337How the fuck has this sicko not done art of an Averland Noble with his hall decorated with halfing heads mounted everywhere.
what're the most kino alternative dwarfs
>>98471936No they really arent retard. AoS cant rank up like arent in those poses and has longer spears. You are retarded
>>98471936I'm looking at the 360 views of those on the webstore right now and I really think you're wrong here
>>98471718Because it's disgusting and repulsive and provides the shock value I'm looking for
>>98471936Wrong and wrong. I said which models these are a few threads ago and I'm not even the anon who owns them, I just know what they are and they're absolutely not AoS.
>>98471977>t.k post models. if you are posting other peoples games surely you have played right?
>>98471957Prints allowed or no?
The Margrave of Nachtdorf ready do defend southern Ostermark from undead and other evils. Stirlands stay on your fucking side of the river (still need to print a decal sheet for the banners but I'm calling it done for now)

>>98472118thanks, I'm honestly shocked how quickly I got it done. I got that one cute captain model to paint but after that we going brickleberry
>>98472015>you can't make fun of faggots unless you have tried gay butt sex Retarded logic
>>98472140Kevin Roundtree that you? I'm sorry no one likes AoS but this has to be counter productive
Of course the parasite seethes at others enjoying a game amongst themselves

>>984722061 more in on the way. This might be one of my favorite pin ups. Its stacked yet fully clothed.
>>98472225sad.
The latest terrain piece I'm working on. It could either be a centerpiece objective on a battlefield, or a key area on a Mordheim map. What do you think?
>>98472251Stls? I really like the decorative elements
>>98472254Which parts specifically?

>>98472354More like, go fuck themselves am I right fellow dawi?
>>98472015He doesn’t own models or play games. He spends literally months and months of his free time obsessing about a game that he hates here. Also he is very short.
>>9847235410mm? Where do you get these files? I'd love to play some Warmaster
Anyone got a chart of the new base sizes? I googled it but it was saying that ogres are 40x40 so I think its outdated
What style of basing best says "border princes"?It borders the badlands, so maybe halfway between grassy plains and rocky outcrops?
>>98472539you can getaway with a lot. I think a cool rank filler would be a big pile of broken weapons and shields piled up from all the battles
>>98472251Put a Warhammer mini next to it for scale
>>98472517Theyve been discontinued unfortunately due to GW shit. Ask me again tomorrow and I'll share em.
WARMASTER
>>98472591A nearly perfect game.
>balltemarxh boxes are more expensive than combat patrol >dragon is $195I dun want it
>>98472690With the Empire Battalion sold out/oop and scalped, I am not sure I will bother with the Battle March.
Should I buy this, kitbash a mounted Black Orc for it and run it on a 50x100 base as a Wyvern? I was thinking of using a spare chariot to make a howdah, similar to the Aracharok.
>>98472728Get. Dragon/wyvern from archon instead
>>98472735I'll look into that, thank you Anon.
When are skaven returning?
>>98471324Tamurkhan
>>98472728I remember thinking this model was the coolest shit when I was a kid but looking at it now it's hilariously fucking bad
Should monstrous infantry be able to fight in two ranks?
painted up the last command squad (hopefully) i'll ever need to do for my boyz
>>98472968they aren't
>>98473001I don't like it when monstrous infantry are in multiple ranks, if they are to be in a larger unit I like them in the second rank of a unit of smaller guys.
>>98473127Yeah I like it when monsters are in smaller guys too.
So, looking at the Chaos Dragon sprue, I would guess the Chaos Lord and Sorcerer will be reused at some point, likely in an updated manticore model, since they come on a separate sprue compared to the rest of the Chaos Dragon
>>98473224I hope the fuck not, if they really have to redo the manticore I expect a different set of ridersbtw, it's so they can rebox the dragon in the future as just the dragon itself with the riders only sold separately for an absurd total price increase
>>98473232The Baneblade trick
>>98473224Or the dragon can get sold with a different sprue for a different rider, or with a different sprue that has mutations for the dragon instead of a rider.But the parts are weirdly cut out like all modern kits, so it doesn't seem very modular for the latter.
>>98473250The dragon itself is basically monoposed you really can't change anything about it
>>98473224side point. I'm really happy that TaleofPainters showcase the sprues in such high resolution. GW seems to have lost the habit of doing it themselves.
>>98473285All of the spures are at least on the webstore except for the Chaos Dragon for some reason
>>98467363Sir, I don't think that's a woman
Is the Core Set + Battlemarch too many CW?
>>98470808You could always kill yourself, I'm sure everyone who's ever had the misfortune of meeting you would appreciate that. If you wanted to do one thing of worth to humanity before ending your otherwise pointless existence, you could go school shooter and take a whole tournament of your fellow subhuman worthless WAACoids with you.
/tg/, what is the easiest way to make a ruffled/barbarian like cloak? I want to attach it to my Warboss to complete his look but I got no real parts I can attach. Could I use green stuff paint filler? Trying to make/find a cloak like this bloke.
>>98473446Maybe this can help you make one?https://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/other-textures/675-texture-plate-wolf-fur.html
Starting to research Warhammer and maybe get into things. I do like the mech aesthetic of the Tau but I hear nothing but gunline strategies from them. Are there literally any other strategies besides focused fire gun lines?Otherwise Grey Knights look cool too. Still looking into things so no decisions yet.
>>98473457Pick a cool army like the imperium of man They have cool cogforts and bane blades and steam tanks and black women.
>>98473457Wrong thread pal, the 40k thread is two blocks down
>>98473463Appreciate you bro, my bad
>>98472016prints allowed
>>98472397>no beardDENIED
>>98473452Thanks boss.
>>98473486women dwarfs don't have beards, Warhammer isn't Tolkien or Discworld
>>98473482I think it varies unit from unit. Highlands miniatures has some cool ones but I also like white angel
>>98473505Delete this abomination
>Asavar Kul commands from the Marcher Fortress just north of the lands claimed by the Kul tribes>Miao Ying's intervention and the spilling of her blood was interpreted by the forces of Chaos as a portent>Chaos is emboldened and building towards the Great War with more conviction and unity than beforeHuh. So by trying to help she might have turned the situation from bad to worse.
>>98470808>get cool rules>comp fags with unpainted armies fuck offSounds like win-win to me
>>98473290they don't want people turning the sprue pictures into scans
>>98473606They somehow have to explain why the great war is even happening after cathay stomped chaos multiple times
>>98472728>I was thinking of using a spare chariot to make a howdahthen you gotta take something biggerfuck the 50x100 base, all new dragons are moving to the 100x150 anyway
>>98473605no
>>98473636I actually think, and hope, Kul could surpass Miao Ying in his tabletop ability.
>>98473482In that case will show my top 3..Highlands miniatures: very solid designs across the range, the range covers the entire army list (including rarities like slayer pirates and imperial dwarfs), they print really well, easy to paint, not ridiculously priced but not cheap either, and because they're so popular they're all over the high seas if that's your thing
>>98473606>the Marcher FortressIsn't that traditionally a Slannesh location?
>>98473482Durgin paint forge: closest to WH in design imo, the entire army list is covered, almost all the files across the range are fully modular with each other (including heroes which means you can make some truly unique characters), easy to paint, lots of character, the only thing I don't like is the designer gives some of the dwarfs tweedly mustaches. Mostly print excellent but a handful of files need the meshes fixing first. Definitely not cheap but the creator has discount bundles. Never seen these on the high seas.
>>98473691If it is, what of it? Asavar Kul is a champion of Chaos Undivided. He goes where he pleases.
>>98473482Varus miniatures: these are 10mm but imo scale up very well to 28mm. Really characterful designs and because they're supposed to be 10mm they're nice and simple, they feel quite old school. Not modular but loads of poses and enough variety to cover almost all weapon options and a variety of banners and musicians. The range covers most of the army book, I think just quarrellers are missing, but he has rangers with crossbows and regular archers. He's working on miners right now but taking his sweet time in providing updates to the Kickstarter backers. The models print well, easy to paint, but are expensive to buy the full range and you can't buy individual units. He offered his full range as a discounted add-on with his recent Kickstarter, but it's been 4 months since payments were taken and he still hasn't sent the add-on files to backers. They're tucked away on the high seas but not easy to find.
>>98473691>>98473720Also, in line with the studio's stated intent of portraying Chaos as more nebulous in TOW than its more clearly defined characterization in WHFB, none of the gods are specifically named in relation to the famous landmarks in the book.
>>98473728These have to be some of the comfiest looking miniatures I've ever seen.
please forgive me lads, i bought an age of shitmar mini to kitbash into my warboss for my orcs
>>98473829it's cool dude we can still play
>>98473829the important thing is you don't buy stormcasts, idoneth, lumineth, kharadron or fyreslayers
>>98473829As long as it works and looks cool nobody will care.
>>98473338Paint some as chosen and honestly it's probably the perfect amount
Is there any point in having regular skeleton horsemen in a tomb kings army?
>>98473871thematically I think they're stupid and the only reason why they have them is because of vampire counts. They hurt the armies identity more than anything, but so does a dragon in ehtp
>>98473871Not with their current rules. They are considered heavy cav without any of the advantages. Horse skirmishers with bows are cool though and have some uses as skirmishers.
I have a few mastiffs from a WGA kit I bought to use as bits for my Empire dudes. Any suggestions on what to use them as?
>>98473338how many would that be?
>>98473992NTA but 24 warriors and 8 knights
>>9847399216 from the core set and 8 from the Battle March box So 24 overall
>>98474002>>98474005That seems enough for a regular list but I'd personally want more for a thematic list.
>>98473930unit fillers
>>98474058Probably the best fit for them, honestly
>>98473737>Forge of Souls seemingly just makes armor and weapons and not daemon enginesCOWARDS
>>98472994Goes to show your kid self had better taste because that model is objectively the coolest.
I have literally no idea what I'm doing with the color scheme but whatever, minis are getting painted.
>>98474414I like it. The cream woold look good over lava bases.Keep at it bro its gonna be a great army
>>98474414black, red, metallics and grime should get you there 99,9% of the way when it comes to chorfs.
So whats the chingchong empires playstyle? Which faction is it most comprable too? Is mao ying good? /vp/ has re-awakened my love of Dragon themed misteresses
>delayed in US and Canadaoh I thought I was going crazy
>>98474589Probably repackaging them to be in more Core set boxes
>>98474566Miao is indeed good. Cathay leans heavily into characters and artillery. You have some of the best cannons in the game, with a once per game double shoot with ogre loaders. But it’s balanced by not having engineers to manage misfires
>>98474590Will they be listed in a Warcom article when they go up for sale in NA? Or do you just have to guess?
Is it worth running units of 10 Jade Warriors, or should I just have bigger blocks of them?
>>98474603No, you will just have to guess
>>98474589The Warhammer community already struggles with unfinished armies, why would they make super overdesigned models that are 10x harder to paint
>>98474623its not even that. Overly detailed models are really hard to make look good as a unit.Like it works for characters but not rank and file dudes
>>98473737>>98474206>>Forge of Souls seemingly just makes armour and weapons and not daemon enginesActually, they still do. Technically speaking.
>>98474623because people buy for the pretty pictures more than the pretty results, as you have already noticed that many simply do not paint their shit
>>98474589I voted for this
>>98474630Considering that's a lore blurb from a Legacy PDF, GW probably considers that barely canon
>>98474623because the vast majority of people that buy miniatures do not play the game.
>>98474638The text was literally copy-pasted from 7th and 8th editions. Still canon though, so it counts.
>>98474616fuck you, James.
>>98474630Soul Grinder is such an ugly sculpt. Can it be proxied with 40k Defiler?
>>98474661I don't get why you think the defiler is any better, let alone in a fantasy context
>Yes human this is my mother. Why are you snickering
> Look at new Scenario from book>It's a 3000-point horde of Chaos army vs a 2000-point Empire army + Miao Ying and three Baloons as mid-game reinforcementsWhat a silly battle scenario
>>98474432Thank you anon.>>98474550I guess so.
>>98474708but /wfg/ told me every cathay player has at least 5 lanterns.
>>98474723Only the Comp Cathay player
>>98474605What is the purpose of the 10 man unit? I could see it as a backline objective holder?
>>98474708Why do they keep trying to slip cathay in as if she was here the whole time.Its cool babe, you life on the otherside of the world no one is saying "Why wasnt yaoming at the battle of shitpissincumdorf in 1400?"
>>98474723Lanterns have been comped to 3 max since week 1 of their release so it's a self-own.
>>98474790source?
>>98474784were you asleep the whole last year?its still the same storyline. she hasnt left yet.
>>98474784It's so cringe inducing and forced. GW really has become the most pathetic company on the planet
>>98474795Every cathay list of every tourney, you dumb faggot.
>>98474800this isnt an asianIts a downy. They want aos players to feel represented
>>98472537Open theOWBuilder or online TOW rulebook, anon.
>>98474800you should boycott them and all threads involving GW then.
>>98474803so no source? untrue then, huh.
>>98474784im getting cathay fatiguethe game is called OLD WORLD, which doesn't mean 'pre-aos' it means 'the europe of the warhammer world'
>>98474916thats why miao ying had to come to the old world to solve the incompetent empires problems.check mate, gweilo
>>98474923no one tell her she just wanted to get her back blown out by bretonnian shepards
>>98473737>retconned the chaos armour coming from FUCKING DWARFSThank god! I hated that change in 7th where Phil Kelly made it so the chaos armour mostly came from STUPID CHORFS! Chaos is back to sourcing its own weapons and armour.
Finally a character I can self insert as
>>98474971Asomndgold shaman of nurgle, ready to take on the Chorf sorceror hassan
Where can I find decent Chorf models? I like those evil little guys anon posted earlier
>>98474961>phil kellyis there anything he can do right?
>>98474971Even the might of Dark Gods is no match for Norwood
>Another character (often the wizard) costs more points than my generalThis aggravates my autism
ok, so just the chaos part of Core Set (not counting the book) bought individually will cost 182 euro while the Core Set with the rulebbok, a playmat and Cathay units is at 190 euro right now.Make it make sense
>>98475209It's a discount, anon. What's there to understand?
>>98466811I'd personally say Westerland.
>>98474971convince me it is a coincidence
>>98471650I've not played it but hasn't Kill Team got some fun narrative stuff now?
>>98475209Starter sets are aggressively priced. The „ individual value „ of Armageddon is like $900.
>>98475408The box costs more to make than the minis inside.
>>9847390125mm wide heavy cav have significant advantages based solely on that. And being resurrected can make their staying power enormous. They're also cheap for heavy cav with counter charge. They've pulled more weight than expected every time I've run them, and they work sort of like an anchor more than a hammer, forcing the enemy to stay in place while your units position for proper attacks.
>>98475209>a playmatThat's just a poster that's probably worth less than €0.10, that shouldn't factor into your pricing at all
>>98466811Averland because you like sheep and craft beer.
>>98474732Just trying figure out if I should make a big 20 man unit or two 10 man units out of the starter set.
>>98470988Nah they're running them concurrently. They're trying to push the Old World RPG as 'Timmy's first warhammer RPG' with a more streamlined and simplified set of mechanics.
Do we have a compilation of the Square Based leaks like usual? Couldn't find a link in this or the other thread.
>>98475725I find it funny that TOW is probably one of GW's most complicated games they currently support, but the RPG with the same name is meant to be a rules-lite game that's easy to get into.
>>98475786Tow isn’t complicated by any means, it’s just stuck on badly written rules for the sake of it.
>>98475818In the grand scheme of wargames, it isn't, but compared to 40k, AoS and 3.0 HH, it's complicated.
>>98475743I got a shitty catbox I made with screenshots of almost everything.https://catbox.moe/c/5nnk4a
>>98475843Thank you for your hard work anon
>>98475828>>98475818TOW isn't a wargame. It makes zero attempt to simulate war
How are empire knights on the table? Thinking about 3d printing a unit of 8 to round out my Core
>>98475896Ah yes, I forgot it was a Japanese dating sim.
>>98475913Chinese
Please stop falling for the bait thanks
>>98475935Nta but bait or not, it's a valid point and not something I'm even bothered to admit. I don't care about wargaming. I like warhammer fantasy, simple as that
How much converting would need some to make these guys work for Bretonnia?
>>98475981>I don't care about wargaming. I like warhammer fantasy, simple as thatKnow what, I'll agree with you. I hate every other wargame I've played maybe heavy gear.
>>98475660Counterpoint: Hochland because you like venison, rifles and Jäegermeister
>>98476036What other games have you played?
>>98475843I might just be in a bit of a sour puss mood, but I don't like those channeling rules. Not one bit. Sure, it's kinda cute that you can use them in a variety of ways, but re-rolling one of your randomly generated spells, functionally replacing power/dispel scrolls, letting you un-fuck a fucked but not too fucked spell, and increasing the range of a single spell just fucking sucks. It's still the same awful 2d6+whatever magic system casting the same lame spells from the same horribly unbalanced, lopsided, and uninteresting spell lores. I understand that the animals who came from 40k or AoS are used to magic being inconceivably more boring, but for fuck's sake, this is WHFB, magic has no excuse to be this uninteresting.The ploys are fine. They'd be much more welcome if the underlying magic rules weren't trash, but, from what little I've seen of them, they're acceptable. I have nothing nice to say about the ruses that have been shown.At least the new miscast table has some teeth. Real shame you're still only going to see it once every 50 casts thanks to this 2d6 to cast crap. It's funny, really. TOW's narrative (a loathsome concept, I know) is set before the imperial colleges of magic were established, so you'd think the wind-mixing, hedge-humping, degen wizards walking around casting like it's nobody's business would be miscasting more, not less, often than their descendants. Go figure.I cannot overstate how much I hate magic in TOW. The magic phase used to be my favourite phase. My first go at collecting my Chaos army was entirely guided by a desire to dominate the magic phase. Now, the very notion of bringing a level 4 daemonologist makes me physically ill. Oh, I wonder what my great sorcerer will do this game! The same things he did last game, and the one before that, and the one before that too, all with 2 god damn dice for every spell, and all because some idiots complained about magic in 8th! Whoopee!
>>98476104He has a wide range and repertoire of wargaming experience, including such renowned titles as: Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer: Horis Heresy, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar
Do you think Dwarfs will get some cheaper minor runes for Battle March to compete with BM cheap magical items, or are the existing runes already cheap and effective enough?
>>98476104WHFB since 6th, Warmachine, Hordes, Mordheim, Warmaster, Heavy Gear, 40k (only til 8th), OPR, Kill Team, Starwars Legion & Armada, and X-Wing.I appreciate what the Starwars games were trying to do, but they just suck. Mordheim is fun if you don't play with assholes.
Heavily considering the Hordes of Chaos army because I have some Minotaur models that I absolutely love. What’s the best way to kit them out?
>>98476209Exchange them for dragon ogres
>>98476208Bro has only played Warhammer and Star Wars shit lmfao
I don’t trust anyone saying mordheim is fun.
>>98476209HW+S. They end up with like 4+ armor in melee while being S5 Ap2 at initiative.
>>98476208Have you tried anything thats not pop culture normslop?
>>98476135You're essentially asking if GW is going to release an entirely separate battle march book for each army.No. No, I don't think they're going to do that.
>>98476242Sorry, I haven't played that game you made with your 2 buddies in highschool that no one has ever heard of.>>98476226Even if i only played 1 game of each of those systems, thats 14 more games than you've played.
>>98476286>You're essentially asking if GW is going to release an entirely separate battle march book for each army.no
the new champions are enough to make me want to start collecting chaos
>>98476356>the new champions are enough to make me want to start collecting chaosunfortunately they are "narrative" meaning most opponents will deny you the use of them. Aka Gw has once again given us a journal you can rip out everything but two pages.
>>98476386>He doesn't exclusively play narrative games.
>>98476392narrative games requires friends
>>98476394Make some?
>>98476408>Make some?Ok I was being sarcastic, the real reason is that everyone have their own lives and only occasionally have time to play and generally dont want to spend a lot of time on figuring out a narrative system that is balanced for all parties
>>98476417>excuses
>>98476241Thanks!>>98476215:(
>>98476454I don't know why but I don't want to build anything but ungors with shields, it feels to outside of "baser animal instincts" aesthetic I have in my head.
>>98476630add them to your gors, make a wild herd!
I bought the dragon.It'll probably be like 2 years before I assemble it at the rate I go.
The Empire awakens something powerful in me. Always played Chaos back in the day, but the idea of grit, guns and stubborn resolve has me checking various mini selling sites.
>>98476769Just did that mission yesterday; I mass my troops at the defensive stakes, poor Chaos didn't stood a chance.Model wise I just recieved the Griffon Standard metal model off ebay for 35$
>>98476792Very nice. Sadly not my screenshot, just made it to Chapter 3 and it is a delightful game. I played a ripped copy long ago and later bought it for the 360, but it was nigh unplayable despite being a controller whiz. I am actually trying to find where the damn screenshots are stored. Great find on that Griffon Standard, especially for that price!
>>98476800ThanksChapter 3's great in terms of story bit, Brother Gunther's a great character, hell the whole story's great, the gameplay a bit repetitive to some, but the game got the setting, tone and characters perfectly.
>>98476816Gunther is great, I agree. Chapter 3 has been great so far, the early optional mission let me make great use of my pistoliers and handgunners, which was a bonus. I really liked going into the crypt to recover the sword and fight the vampire as well. Felt a bit like playing a tabletop RPG with micro managing my heroes and going against skeletal units.
>>98476849That, and the duels also make it more than just a 'wargame', more like a 'complete experience' so to speak.Loved the pistoliers, I played the Knights Panthers before, but they died easy without support. They need micro management a bit to get wiped, but their pistols are pretty great
>>98476871The duels are something I wish more RTS games had. They are so incredibly satisfying, especially when you level and build a character into being a duelist. Pistoliers really come off as young nobles, their cocky and confident voice lines are fun and they can cause significant damage to all but the heaviest troops. I swear by them because they do everything from harrying enemy troops to intercepting enemies attacking blind spots and strange angles. Also guns.
>>98476881Oh yeah the voice acting is top nothc. Gunther's line 'Even Sigmar could not fly!' is a classicDon't make the Elf Commander a Duelist thought, I used him a few times like that, he wasn't even able to beat a Skaven warlord, despite being level 25. Aurelion's actually better at that, alongside Stefan/Captain (Gunther is meh, the WP's options are not that good duel wise according to me). Even the Dwarf Lord is a tough nut ot crack in Battle March Extension, I did the first mission3-4 times until I abandonned duelling him and just shot/grind him with my troops
>>98476915Hearing that line and the frustration in how it was delivered managed to get a hearty laugh out of me. I have skipped duelist skills on everyone and mostly get by through sheer use of cannons and handgunners to blast enemy heroes at range, or Stefan having something like 8-10 Hero armor and 3-4 magic armor and just winning via attrition. Really tempted to boot the game back up now. It really holds up so well and just oozes charm and that WHFB sense of magic and wonder.
>>98471957>>98473482Old Realm Forge because they make actual proper WHF Dwarfs which are supposed to be a different fucking species not just short human dudes in WoW LARP costumes like most modern dwarf minis(sadly, including GW's own). Their crossbowmen are a bit of a miss with the silly helmets but almost everything else is brilliant.
>>98476930I don't think the multiplayer works anymore, sad, because it was a ok way to play some WFB via computer. Granted not all armies were there, but there was enough for alot fo people to find something they'd like
>>98476940Man, imagine getting a /wfg/ team vs team multiplayer session going of Mark of Chaos.
>>98476943Don't make me dream! but I suppose someone on GoG or steam might have made it work......Nope, only PvP via LAN, so back to LAN parties I guess.
>>98476242Maybe he likes to actually play games instead of buying an overpriced kickstarter rulebook made by a bunch of fags & troons so he can smugly posture on instagram about what a niche and refined and elevated wargaming palette he has for headpats from dozens of other homosexuals who don't actually play games.
>>98476951Pity that. I have some good memories of 6v6 or 8v8 Dawn of War 1 games with Anons. Lots of laughs and fun were had. At least it adds another reason to get a LAN party going.
>>98476991Fresh baked

>>98473728>shows off the coolest looking dwarves>theyre kickstarter exclusiveYou bastard
>>98478131I'm not an empire player but they're not bad. The problem is that cav isn't the most efficient way to spend points but it's not like they're useless in casual play, it's still decent heavy cav. I think it's worth having one unit to play as regular knights in core or inner circle knights in special for fun.
