>>98539913>Invent a new type of mount/monster for /yourdudes/No fuck off there are too many mounts in AoS as it is.
>TQMounting >>98539923's mom
>>98539913>TQ(Ironjawz) Rogue Idol mount option for warchanta and/or shaman
>>98539981>her attack profile
>>98539983Kind of surpising they haven't done anything with the rogue idol in aos. Maybe they're saving it for when they reintroduce bonnesplitterz :)
>>98539913>>Thread Exercise>Invent a new type of mount/monster for /yourdudes/Feel like I've already answered this one not too long ago.Anyway, I want to see the new pterosaur.
>>98539983I'm shocked IJ doesn't have magic guy's riding anything yet
I made a trip to the lgs earleir today to buy a new brush.I thought i had a paint i need at home, but it turned out i had a compleatly wrong shade of the colour.Now i have to waste tomorow's afternoon going back
>>98540054I feel it anon, my game shop is like 100 steps outside of my apt.
>>98540017The rogue idol should have been the cross-army god-model of destruction instead of kragnos.
>>98540170Actually kind of a great idea damn
>>98540170>morky mask when taken for kruleboys>gorky mask when taken for ironajws>moon mask when taken for moonclan>sun mask when taken for gitmobs>bare rock when taken for gargants>bare rock (painted as ice) when taken for ogres >both gorky and morky masks together when taken as the special avatar of gorkamorka himself
>>98540251>>bare rock when taken for gargants>>bare rock (painted as ice) when taken for ogresit was so simple all along
>>98539913>invent a new type of mount/monster for /yourdudes/Monster you say?
>>98540251shouldn't mawtribes have a big mouth?
Newfag here. Anyone know where I can find all of the Battletomes released so far in one place? And maybe some of the Black Library literature as well? Hell, is there any good resource with all of the lore collected in one place? I really like it a lot.
>>98540283I thought it was a Git on the thing
>>98540296>gofile.io/d/JXpc9gSome of the books are linked in OP
>>98540300No bully autidactyl, he's trying his best.
>>98540296we usually share things on requests instead of having a centralised repository for everything because those don't seem to last long, or at least noone bothered to make one after the one we had years ago was brought down.but requesting everything at once is a bit much.the OP should have the battletomes of this edition and those should give you enough of a priming of everything including the timeline.lexicanum is good for general info with sources for what it says.for some good short reads, check the free short stories gw released at the end of the first edition, they're arguably when the setting truly found a footing and they're pretty good and evocative, compiled here https://www.tga.community/forums/topic/27094-malign-portents-the-compiled-stories/
>>98540283>>98540300The mighty Squigon
>>98540331post that funny picture with the goblin getting roasted by the sun
>>98540331one day he'll grow his neck tall enough to bite the moon
>>98540331Paint it red. Cover it in gobbos & shrooms.
Honeslty if GW ever makes a model for a Squig Dragon i'm hoping for something more like this
>>98540384do you meant it to have a mouth in its chest rather than its head or for its head to be fake and just a horned proboscis?
>>98540384>>98540447
>>98540447I was thingkin tiny mouthless head and giant belly mouth, but fake head trunk is quite funny.All downsteam from Goruru anyway
>>98540318That's a nice idea
>>98539913>TQstickbug party bus for Sylvaneth. Can be built as a mounted Branchwych or as just some plant girls with bows and arrows, or as just some spite girls with spears.Basically think the Maw-Grunta kit, but it's bugs and plant girls.
>>98540447The head being a nose is great, pink elephants on parade as an army.
>>98539913For the OBR, I'd love to see a large bone construct that Katakros himself had to approve the construction of due to the bone and magic need to make them, snd they are used as mounts for either the elite soldiers or even the Legion Commanders, kind of an OBR answer to stardrakes.
>>98539913>TQi'd like to see for fyreslayers and helsmiths: avatars. like the equivalent of an avatar of khaine or an eidolon for the elves, but of the dwarven gods. something on a 100mm+ base with a big 15W+ profile that can throw down
>>98539913these animals are a perfect example of a trope that we often see in today's fantasy licenses : what if ordinary beasts but with elemental connection and powers ? I'm sure the lore for these Gyrochs will be something like since they're connected to Ghyran their shit is a magical super fertilizer; it's the same thing with the Lumineth wind fox, kangaroos and mountain cow. There are are also animals like that in nu God of War (2018 and Ragnarok)I know this concept has been a part of aos since the beginning with the Zodiacal Godbeasts but I never really liked it : "le quirky wholesome chungus elemental beast" feels like a very reddit idea
>>98540890>since they're connected to Ghyran their shit is a magical super fertilizerI don't see how that's a problem for you. Shits real good is not some super special power that's impossible to imagine the influence it would have.
i'm quite fond of this lil niggaif they do khazalid chads then i hope they don't just make them ultra generic dwarfs, though. i would love a unit of guys like this, as rangers, but generally gw feels like they've been super understated with ideas over the past year or so? like, they have done cool models, but little which feels 'out there', besides maybe the platforms on the backs of the city ogres/giantsi love the aesthetics they've gone for, but there is that feeling of, oh, they would never make idoneth now, that's just too zany. i guess i just hope if they finally do umbraneth after all these years they're not just dark lumies with cold ones instead of horses
Does anyone know if this clip is fake or not? And if it is real, what series is it from? Also, who is the dark entity that appears in it?
>>98540979That's Galactus beating the human torch in fantastic 4
>>98539913Cathay lacks in style so a lumineth river mage riding a flying sword would be great to mog them.
>>98540890Just say you hate fantasy in general bro. Creatures adapting to their fantasy habitats is just fantasy 101. Go fuck off to 40k or awg instead you ball and gun faggot.
>>98540890in old fantasy the army books literally came with lists of monsters you could take as allies
Between fec, night haunt, and obr, where would gargoyles fit in the best?
>>98540929I get you, as much as I love the classic dwarf look if I wanted that I'd just go grab the TOW models. Surely they'll have some gimmick/aesthetic quirk that'll make them different, if they're autistic enough about keeping the fantasy games apart that they redid the chaos warriors yet again to differentiate them I can't see them just doing dwarves but on rounds
Chuggin' along with batch painting. Went to the game shop and managed to scrounge up a nice blue metalic I liked. Gonna go with this blue for the metal, then gold for the highlights and icy weapons. Any idea how I could connect my lads to Azyr?
>>98541328Cities of Sigmar
I fucking get it now. Started putting my first models together this week and I get it. Why is this so fun? Have a few more plastic models to put together and prime (Helsmith spearhead) before I start with the base paint.GW store manager was kind enough to give me two skaven models and a SCE model to experiment with for free.Have some supplies coming in this weekend (lamp, tweezers, mat, gloves, and general art supplies).Not sure if I have any latent artistic talent, but we'll see. The fear of painting badly isn't there anymore. I understand you now Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Monet. Michelangelo and Raphael. Wait for me in those hallowed halls, I'm coming.Just wanted to share the joy with my fellow fags.
>>98541563That's nice. Don't be so corny about it but glad you've found a new hobby.
>>98541563Model assembly and kitbashing is my favorite part, painting makes me want to suck start a shotgun sometimes but the end result makes me happy.
>>98541504I don't think you can link cannibalistic ogres worshiping destruction to Sigmar.
>>98541634See I had the idea since I gave 'em all clubs they've been konking out stormcasts to make sure they don't zap away specifically so they can strip their armor from them and pound it out into scrap plate. Hence the fancier blue tones. Maybe pound some gold in and call themselves "The Skyjaws"
>>98540890I mean the focal point of the setting is literally that the realms they live in embody a respective element. Of course the fauna and flora are going to reflect that. How would you make it ‘better’?
>>98541504>>98541661Dragon ogres are natives of azyr who are big mad about Sigmar because he fucked em up. Maybe these guys are like "dragon 'ogres'? right lads, we're gonna show these golden cunts why you don't mess with the fattest"
>>98540384kek great
>>98541504>Any idea how I could connect my lads to Azyr?They collect meteorites and comet fragments to make their stuff?If they ever force their way to Azyr they'll have "infinite" amount of their holy metal
>>98540890Anon, not everything you personally dislike is "reddit"
what are they doing when not fighting? just siting around being plants?
>>98541850Take cere of the plants that can't walk around.Sing and dance to the colours of the wind
>TQCan I have this?
>>98541554>Cities of Sigma>post hammerhal aqshawe wuz gargoyles n shiet
>>98540979it's not fake it's from hammer and bolter return to cadiathat's the demon of a possessed marine appearing to the marine after he died to claim his soulno, it's not archaon, they just used his likenesses
>>98542061>no, it's not archaon, they just used his likenessesSounds like something Archaon doing Undercover Boss episode would say
>>98540296There’s no such resource sadly and I myself have struggled to find anything online with the novels available you might have to fork over some cash for this
>>98542066haha that's so funny man can I repost that to r3ddit?
>>98541892Make it a flamethrower fueled from that fire cage
>>98542238Deal
>>98540929i am optimistic and also very eager to see what the new dorfs look like. I feel the new ogor mounts/helmets, the helsmith engines show that they are still willing to do something more original but they probably are less likely to go for a super commitment to a certain theme like 'dwarfs but mega steampunk' or 'elves but Atlantis' like in years past. as those wacky options are certainly a bigger risk in terms of how they'll be received by the audience. i feel that new bonereaper underworlds band was, although wacky, was a big flop and are unpopular. i hope they arent too techy. im planning to potentially run a cogfort crewed by dorfs but if they have their own gyrocopters and steam tanks it wouldnt be anywhere near as cool. i am planning for the new dwarfs to potentially be my 4th and final army i collect.
>>98540929Supposedly that rumor engine with levitating rocks is some kind of floating dwarf throne thing, which might give us an idea of what direction they're going in.
>>98542362
>>98542362They'll surely have floating rocks as a core part of their design. I think instead of dwarfs they'll be floating rock gholemkind actually. The rumour engine basically confirms it.
>>98542372It's kinda funny to think that Votann did it first, but yeah, I'm expecting amped up rune magic and golems to set them apart from regular old boring dwarfs. Helps match them up with Fyreslayers better too, since they're already all pumped up with fire magic and lava dragons. I do wonder a bit if they'll keep them as just having really good priests ala Fyreslayers, or if they'll cross the line into actual wizardry.
Attention to all Germany niggas.Right now you can get some really cool units for a steal. Just check out your local magazine store.Next week you can also buy 3 rat ogres for 7 euros. After that it's kinda meh in my opinion
>>98542452All of this + a paper playmat, poster and six dice for 3€
>>98542455Forgot the pic
I'd never draw attention to these posts, but this time they went and included artwork from a different army than the one they're promoting, and I thought that was amusing.https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/8109tfoj/warhammer-art-through-the-years-flesh-eater-courts/
>>98542519I guess they knew it was used in some story about ghuls, but the dumb intern didn't realize the picture was of the antagonists
>>98540170What the fuck a somewhat intelligent idea from tg?
>>98540318> Well painted mini loses to the shit painted memeThis is why democracy is a bad idea
>>98541328FEC
>>98542546Wouldn't the vote sign imply the competition is ongoing?
>>98541563Happy for you but also>>98541572Is right don't be a fag about this.Also paint your minis
>>98541328OBR are kinda already gargoyls if you think about it
>>98542551The clear leveled tiers in the podiums indicates that democracy has run its course and the retarded have done the le epic lolzzzz!!! Retarded choice.I feel for the silver dude. Had a similar situation happen at a GW like 8 years ago. An incredibly painted dwarf hero (not mine but I voted for the guy) lost to local chuckle fuck who just put the Everchosen model on foot but kept him on the huge base. He made a little crater from cork. The Archaon model was literally just base coated.But it was le epiccccc!!!! Lolz so the dude who out in effort and time in a really well executed piece lost.
>>98542452rat ogres are a good deal if you aren't buying starter sets for the rest
>>98542546maybe you shouldn't enter a popularity contest with the assumption that it's a painting skills contest
>>98542558No, they arent
>>98541328FEC dawg, they even have giant freak bats!
>>98542684>rock guys animated by magicCompelaty different
>>98541328if we're talking stone gargoyles, then nighthaunt, they should have more haunted stuff, including haunted statues, haunted armours and an actual scenery piece for them that would be a haunted tower
>>98539913Sheep on the bottom has a nasty fungal infection on his horns. Going to have to trim those down and rub fungicide on them.
>>98539913>TQgod already gave us boars so I'm set just as soon as GW update the godawful gore grunta models, they're hideous, might be able to convert picrel into big boars for some shamans
>>98540447The head actually being a nose is fucking funny.
anyone got the hedonite battletome?
>>98542452What's actually in these magazines?
>>98543098Painting instructions and tips.
>>98543098they're like zoobooks for warhammer players.
>>98543145?
>>98543153I dunno what this is anon... I'm talkin' these things.
>>98543160I googled zoobook and got some kind of Czech facebook for animals as the top result
>>98543177Weird... Nah these were just like a generic magazine that talked about animals. I remember a few years back I fucked with my friend by subscribing him to them for like 20 bucks for a year of them or some shit.
People really will updoot any slop kitbash thats basically "take big kit and put on top of another big kit" huh
>>98542452Do you think Belgium has these magazines too?
>>98543183Yeh, it's cool
>>98543183yep
>>98543183What offends me is the lack of color & lazily bare base.
>>98543183I swear I'm not an autist, but purely from a center-of-gravity point thus mini makes no sense. Carrying a very heavy, very high object fucks with your balance so much.
>>98543183I'VE BUILT MY COGFORT, it would be so piss easy to just slice a whole open for him to be poking through. Like fucks sake man.
FECes Eater Courts
>>98543183I would respect it if there had been actually effort to make a whimsical daemonic walking tower ala howl's moving castle, with proper nurgle details like rotting wood, crumbling stones, rusted metal, daemonic growths reclaiming it like moss or ivy, but this is just lazy. There's no effort made to distinguish the creature bearing the tower from the default glottkin model
>>98543183it probably could have actually worked if they had carved out a bit more of the castle underside and been willing to sacrifice a visible head on the glottkin to more naturally seat the castle structure on the shoulders.
>>98543183>>98543251reddit model.
>>98543251I think even a bit deeper would have it work, make more tentacles bursting from the seems, could easily have the other brothers glott hanging out on the sides.>>98543257unironically yes
Have any anons here actually done a cogfort?
>>98543280Even the basic cogfort is essentially reddit slop desuI mean, there's no effort in it to make it look like some kind of marvellous da vinci machine, its literally a stone castle (perhaps one of the worst possible materials for a *mobile* fortress, due to its poor strength to weight ratio), on legs A sensible mobile fortress would be either a combo of metal/wood or purely metal
>>98543332>Even the basic cogfort is essentially reddit slopI think it's perfectly cool model, it does what it says on the tin. I'm not sure what reddit means in this context other than you personally do not like it, or it's too popular so you have to find some way to like... Make yourself seem slightly cooler by not liking it? I dunno dawg, it's just a cool walking castle with a shit ton of guns on it.
>>98543332Im not saying things need to all be realistic in a fantasy setting - but rule of cool works both ways - things should look like they might actually work because that contributes to the cool
>>98543332Conceptually it seems more like an actual metal device the KO would make.
>>98543341I feel like it'd need more metal and dorf faces to look KO.
>>98543336You ever heard the literary advice "kill your darlings"?It also applies to model design - if your creation is basically over the top, self-aggrandising wank, you should cull it
>>98543332The fact that it looks like a castle is exactly what's good about it, though. Any retard can shit out a "realistic" metal walker design
>>98543344Yeah of course. The stone doesn't fit at all.
>>98543332I’ve always wondered if it feels good to be intentionally retarded. The top is quite literally a DaVinci reference with its shape looking like his tank. The stone is a facade. And the whole thing is a combination of the materials listed. That’s your 3 “complaints” soundly settled.
>>98543346I dunno man, I feel like AOS has always been more towards the absurd and high fantasy concept end of things. Having stuff be more over the top is what makes it AOS as opposed to more fantasy, I remember anons here complaining about how AOS was turning into mudcore garbage.I think something that's got a feasible system of functioning and is somewhat more grounded WHILE ALSO being an over the top thing is what helps it fit into the setting even more.
>>98543354They're both cone roofs. That's it. What kind of roof is a tower supposed to have?
>>98543347No, it sucks. Stone is a terrible material for a mobile fortress, it resists movement and breaks upon itself due to its own weight once moved. Its like trying to build a bus out of a pile of bricks.You ever see that top gear episode where they upgrade their cars with inappropriate materials? Clarkson upgrades his with bricks, with predictable results.>>98543354Thats still a stupid amount of stone, even if its a facade, metal plates shaped like overlapping shingles makes so much more sense.
>>98543366You have terrible taste, my friend. Incurable.
>>98543362I mean, let's not pretend this shit is not directly connected here anon. The amount of shit for cities that's from that era it's pretty blatantly an inspiration.
>>98543354>>98543374No one's denying the inspiration. It's the stone being used at all that makes no sense.
>>98543370I provided my reasoning. Your reply is short because your silly opinion is unrefined and vibesy
>>98543378Everyone loved the Cogfort reveal BECAUSE it was high fantasy and whimsical, instead of realistic and boring. That fact that you can writes paragraphs of text in support of boring means nothing.
>>98543366>>98543376>You ever see that top gear episode where they upgrade their cars with inappropriate materials? Clarkson upgrades his with bricks, with predictable results.Yeah but those are cars and not a giant mechanical walking device powered by a magical super furnace. The stone facade is there as a cheap protection considering the whole point of the cogfort is for it to walk forward and take a hit. The only thing worth protecting is the people inside and the backside with the engine. If it's being mass produced perhaps the cities don't have as much metal to spare for that as opposed to stones and masonry.
what kind of autism stops people from painting the stone parts as metal again?
>>98543386You don't seem to understand how inefficient a stone "facade" would still be. Even just metal plating from scrap metal forming shingle shield layers would be better.
>>98543386>If it's being mass produced perhaps the cities don't have as much metal to spare for that as opposed to stones and masonry.You retards reach for the most absurd handwavey combinations of reasoning I swear."Um its magic but also we're poor and don't have much metal, that's why most of our troops are heavily armoured despite looking like village idiots, or otherwise protected by big shields covered in time-consuming metal filigree" (historically if you were short on metal, your melee troops had shield + spear, didnr wear much armour, or maybe just a helmet).Literally leaving the stone off would be a considerable mobility advantage for something thats doing its attacking from range anyway, but in any case, thin plates of steel would be the obvious and more efficient replacement
>>98543410>big shieldsmade of wood>Um its magic but also we're poor and don't have much metalYES, the engines are so important they get a whole ass fucking air balloon to fuck off and leave the rest of the fort behind if shit goes bad. If anything what's stopping you from believing that the wood on the exterior is a facade too and they do have a thin steel interior frame, that would match the idea of having aesthetic be a focus considering the filigree and gargoyles all over.>Literally leaving the stone off would be a considerable mobility advantageAre you saying so they can go faster? I don't really think that's the main focus here. Also aren't they controlled manually by some weird homeless guy being broiled alive inside.Also if metal and all that was so easy to come across for what reason would the whole thing not be made out of metal? They're Cities of Sigmar not Kharadron, they don't have that level of production tech or means to do so. They're working with what they got which is why it's just a guard tower with legs.
>>98543389Anon you HAVE to paint things like they look on the box or GW will find you and skin you alive.
>>98543389The kind of autism that causes them to bitch about everything.It's easier to complain than to build and paint yourself.
>>98543444A guard tower with legs is already not "working within your means" as a city of normal humans.
>>98543462They can't give it wheels or else Zenestra will get angry.
It's stone because it's meant to be a walking castle tower that's it. Paint your shit metal if it bothers you so much.>but but it wouldn't be as efficient!Who gives a fuck broMhmmm actually the facade is made out Vindicarum Caement™ which is infused with the souls of dead bonesplitterz and beastmen making it stronger than metal mkay
>>98543087There’s a good few battletomes no one seems to have
>>98543477Because if GW doesn't state it, it's not canon. Why else would 40k have a 30 page wikipedia article on how the bolter functions, how am I supposed to know the specifics on a cogfort!
>>98543477See how nothing about the model actually conveys your copey rationalisations? Thats why its a shit, peak reddit model. You have to do serious mental gymnastic trying to argue why it makes sense. And yes, looking it would work is part of looking good. Form and function are brothers.
>>98543492You ever get angry that the KO have balloons made out of metal?
>>98543477Look at the steam tank.Its a steam powered carriage, with piston driven wheels and a metal shell in the shape of a train prow/ knightly horse barding. It very naturally brings together these ideas without complication or having to explain itself. No one looks at it and thinks "how does that not shake itself apart in two seconds", because it looks functionally from get go.
>>98543500No, I don't like KOThey're essentially sci fi intruding into fantasy
>>98543514So like, some sort of... High fantasy?
>>98543519Idk what your point is, labelling things doesn't make you clever
Bonesplitterz will rise.
>>98543492Yes anon, I was making shit up. I think in some cases, like a giant walking castle, style is allowed to trump substance.But besides, how would "magic cement" even be conveyed? It just is.
>>98543543>style is allowed to trump substanceNigga even the more stylish OG, Howl's moving castle is made primarily of metal and wood, rather than ceramic
>>98541850They do a lot of bug maintenance.
>>98543533I mean like, if you're really stuck on some weird shit being involved in the magical fantasy world with tree mechs and magical flying boats I dunno what to tell you man. There's no universe I can convince you otherwise since this is one of those things where I can tell you're clearly stuck into thinking this. It's just a castle on legs because they live in a society wherein you can't have wheels anymore so all the steam tanks got tossed out and this is what exists now. If it helps there's numerous instances in lore of metal cogforts, just not the models we got you'd have to kitbash it yourself
which one should i build? they both seem good
>>98543557>but my anime did it differently!Sincerely who gives a fuck?besides, despite the name howl's moving castle isn't meant to actually imitate an actual castle
>>98543570>. It's just a castle on legs because they live in a society wherein you can't have wheels anymorethe cult of the wheel is just one cult among many unberogen cults. In any case, the argument was never about legs but rather about stone
>>98543570You're being disingenuous. Those things can exist because magic & steampunk bullshit magitech. Normal humans aren't building a walking stone tower.
>>98543580Why not
>>98543576So what argument is there for stone?Its not more stylishIts not functionalIts just retarded from every angle
>>98543578thought the wheel cult had more groundswell but that is fair, that's mostly a hammerhal aqhsy bit. >>98543586Makes it look like a little fort tower more, so that's pretty neat.
are hedonite mortals good, or will i need to use daemonettes? trying to get back into the game side of the hobby after a decade of not playing shit and dont really want to buy a bunch of models that were still around when I was a literal child.
>>98543586Argument is that you're being an autstic retard.
>>98543583Because stone is impractical for a moving structure. As already said multiple times.
>>98543586The argument is that looks more like a castle? The style that we were talking about?
>>98543597Autism makes the world go round nigga
>>98543599Okay, but a walking structure is impractical to begin with, as is a cannon on the top of an unrooted tower.
>>98543599Wait hold on let me go fix my cogfort rq
>>98543605Imagine a fish that has wings and can fly in the air for sustained periods like a bird. It doesn't live underwater, and has evolved beyond that.Then you say to me "but why can't it still have gills?" to which I say "it no longer lives in water".Yeah, its a fish, but its a flying fishYeah its a castle, but its a moving castle
>>98543573just follow ur heart :)
behold, an undefeatable weapon provided by sigmar himself.
>>98543625Anon, I feel like you have some trouble understanding concepts like artistic liberty. Also while it doesn't matter at all I do feel compelled to point out the existence of vestigial organs.
>>98543654"Can" vs "should", dumbass, didnt you ever watch jurassic park
>>98543374Anon, you're genuinely stupid
>>98543654If you think its all subjective anyway, then my objection is equally as valid as your acceptance, neither is superior, in which case your position is not advanced in any way, so youve wasted your time (me personally I could do this for days)
>>98543671This is why I was saying it's entirely pointless to try and convince you because you're just autistic and will not be convinced.
>>98543609Yes but at least make it structurally more plausible.
>>98543573I really like helmet shirtless guys.
>>98543685just make a fucking tank at that point
>>98543692Yes they should.
>>98543704Have you considered playing imperial guard instead.
>>98543671I'm not saying it's all subjective anyway (though it is tbf). I'm saying the sculptors prioritized the "tower" part over the (functional) "walker" part. Whether or not that was the right choice IS subjective of course, but the underlying reasons are not.
>>98543710Consider deez nuts bro.
Can we get rapeanon back, I changed my mind that was more fun than this shit.
>>98543570>they live in a society wherein you can't have wheelslolwut
Another one joins the bingo
>>98543735Where do these people keep coming from
>>98543741slow day in the other warhammer threads.
>>98543570Sigmarites definitely have wheels anon. The cult of the wheel is but one of the cults umberogen.
>>98543762I know, didn't you tell me that and I agreed :o
>>98543722There’s at least two of us now. What’s up?
>>98543774thank god, change the topic to anything else. No talking about raping cogforts or anyhting.
>>98543769I'm a different guy but that's fair I was a retard who didn't read the replies to your post
>>98543780Rape Towers....
WHERE'S GHOULFORT ANON, SOMEONE HELP
>>98543794Do the Stormcast dragons and stardrakes take part in it?
>>98543884Thats a very specific type of horny.
>>98543884Is there a reason for like having 6 different types of dragon type creatures for stormcast?Also is the super god dragon still alive, and if so what does he do for a living.
>>98543884Is this a dragon fucking a car reference or do you just want to imagine dragons raping people in a tower?
>>98543884Dragon mount tower stables where they rape female serfs.
>>98543905He mostly does consultancy.
>>98543905Oh man, I forgot about the Super God Dragon. I assumed he fucked off after creating the realms.
>>98543908>dragon fucking a car referenceI hate myself for understanding this.
>>98543932Well now you can imagine a dragon fucking a cogfort.
>>98543938I can only picture that gif of the planes fucking the twin towers.
>>98543905>dracoline>dracoth>stardrake>draconithI think dracoths and stardrakes are supposed to be different stages of the same life cycle at leastBig chance either (or both) of those will get refreshed in 5th imo
>>98543780>No talking about raping cogfortsImagine being a Steelhelm fighting Hedonites and seeing a Keeper of Secrets shove its dick down the barrel of the cannon and moan, wouldn't that be fucked up
>>98543570>they live in a society wherein you can't have wheels anymoreAt last, Nipon
GW is selling gamer juice now, will you be sippin?https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/xw9503/
Weak bait. Try harder if you want a (You).
Instead of cogforts, why not have the cities of sigmar be a historically grounded faction with no magic or whimsy? They can be the practical technology faction. Human only, no 'fantasy' races. No magic, only physics.
>>98543973Not as fucked up as lighting the fuse on that cannon.
>>98544007Why the fuck would you want that? Just play never mind the billhooks then
>>98544007They hardly use magic already. Magic is fine & would make walking fortresses make more sense anyway.
>>98544023I know they aren't heavy on magic on the tabletop, but don't the Sigmarites have the collegiate arcane? In fluff, my understanding is that Sigmar's forces definitely employ magic not only on the battlefield but also in their economy.
>>98543573I would build two dudes with helmets and glaives and one dude with armor and beard, but I'd replace the maracas with some other weapon and a trophy
>>98544007No.
>>98543573Sentinels are a lot cooler looking
>>98543984Now that I think about it I'm surprised they've never worked with a brewery and put out Bugman's ale
>>98544078they do it for the pub near warhammer worldit's not good
>>98544078Don't they have it in Warhammer World?
>>98542519What armies are left?
>>98544087>it's not goodThye only sell you the good stuff if you're 4'11 or under. Lanklets get the piss water
>>98544095Seraphon and... idk probably just them
>>98544010It’s what it would be hoping for probably
>>98543984Probably tastes better than the Nurgle candle smelled
>>98543183That's just 2 models poorly glued together, not a kit bash.
>>98544052They do.
>>98543984KYS slopfag
>>98543651Old GW would tell you to do this unironically We've lost our SOVL
>>98544124when are the funny COS gacha boxes gonna be released?
>>98544143Supposed to be this year. Around Halloween or Christmas at this rate.
I hope whatever comes out of Khazalids that they play a relatively straightforward game of Warhammer like STD does. I’m kind of tired of so many armies being a “skill expression” army and doing accounting.
>>98544155>“skill expression” armyYou mean armies with mediocre stats and abilities?
>>98544155Given what we know about different ancestors playing a bigger role, I think we might see some lumineth rune esque abilities in play. Honestly if you want traditional dwarf your best bet is helsmith all things considered.
>>98544155Once per turn (Army) and accounting is guaranteed.
>>98542519I actually quite like these articles. I'd even accept gw's ugly 'warhammer community' watermarking if they included more art as payment. Like there's just a lot of really good AOS art that's presumably sat on drives somewhere unless the creator posts it on artstation, which is usually a crapshoot
>>98543354>the different types of shotFuck, this model is actually cool as hell. I was definitely gonna use an alternative model as a counts as but now I'm kinda not sure.
>>98543366That car *looks* cool as fuck though, which is all that matters for something that isn't real.Or do you think 40k would be better if the spaceships weren't giant cathedrals? >inb4 that's different because it just is
>>98544250That's different because space cathedrals are cool.
>>98544246The enlightened double cogfort list:
>>98543938>get one chance at life>assigned to the cogfort "sigmar's sippy cup" (glad to be working in one of the safest spots in the dawnbringer crusade)>just want to work long enough to get a pension and a house in hammherhal (ghyra, not aqsha)>our cogfort is deployed to the front in thondia>enemies mostly typical barbaric chaos scum and greenskins, not equipped with heavy artillery, thank sigmar>captain gets a message over his runic transmitter stone>"the slaves to darkness have freed an ancient draconic godbeast that was sealed by grungni and are luring it towards the field">"the beast's name? it's godcock the fortpounder"
>>98544379>godcock the fortpounderImagine.
Gitsfags, let's say the recent gitmob wave didn't happen, what sort of kits would you have preferred gw spent those "release slots" on?As a refresher, gitmob got:>snarlpack>small chariots>big dual build boss/shaman chariot >bigass doomdiver centrepiece>named character
>>98544493idk why people were so down on the gitmob release (apart from the high prices which i fully understand being mad about). i've got about 6k pts of gits, including 1500 gitmob, and they're great
>>98544493I actually like these models a lot, especially the lore bit about how the wolf is actually smarter than his rider. But not for how much they cost.Anyway, my choice would be a spiderCHAD themed variety thing. Arachnarok upgrade kit (the base spider still looks good), new spider riders, perhaps a unit of horrible hybrid spider-goblins, spider chariot(s). Named character could be a goblin version of a dryder, basically a gobbo version of a daemon prince of the Spider God
>>98544537I don't think people dislike the models per se, I remember a good bit of hype when they got revealed.However the triple whammy of-not really fitting with the rest of the army visually (and maybe thematically)-absurd prices even for gw-dogshit rules (initially)Kind of put people off on them. Also doesn't help that the army set was pretty garbage (and far inferior to the later spearhead).
>>98544493Only the snarlpacks were a bad addition because they already had the normal cavalry and the range isn't large enough to start thinking about elite versions of normal unitsturning the diver into a mobile platform for them is alright, even though they made it too big, the special character is good toomaybe I'd have given them pump wagons, but that's because I envision the expansion of the sun goblin sides being about the goblin pirates adding to the wolf riders>small pump wagons>medium sized land sailer>bigass flying shipmaybe a set of gitmob goblins on foot that would get carried by the chariots or ships could benefit the range a bit
>>98544592i dont think they are any more out of place visually than spiderfang or troggoths. the army is already a motley crew of different shit
>>98544613the difference between snarlpacks and snarlfang units was meant to be that one is the skirmishy shooty hit and run annoyance unit, while the other is a harder hitting melee specialist elite shock charge unit. but they forgot to make the shooty skirmishers actually good at shooting.
>>98544618its more of the sun imagery that they have that clashes with them. You know, they dont really have the GLOOM aspect to them, they're also just more asian- sorry. Zelda coded to them which until ogors was kinda leftfield for destruction. That being said I dont hate them, or the goals of their lore.
>>98544618Spiders are all over GSG models, though? Troggoths are connected to mushrooms, caves, and Moonclan explicitly through Warbands Gitmob have no relation to the rest of GSG beyond the gobbapalooza which originally highlighted the opposite before a retcon
>>98544493Drop snarlpack for a generic hero kit because the UW kit is ridiculous
>>98544618Spiders, moonclan, troggoths, squigs, all work as an army because they're tied together by being weird freaks coming out of the clammy, damp, creepy-crawly places of the realms. All the promo material has them in weird caves with fluorescent gaint mushrooms, that kind of shit.Gitmob meanwhile do not fit there at all. They're the wolf/chariot army, all their promo material is set in monument valley style badlands. Those two aesthetics are at odds, certainly more than gloomspite previously was.
>>98544493Spiders > wolves
>>98542452Thank god, I was waiting when they will announce it here. Btw if you buy a premium sub on their website, you will get some centerpiece units for Nurgle, Stormcasts, OBR and SotBHope my local comicbook store will have some tomorrow. Can always have more bits for kitbashing.
>>98544701>inb4 they make 8 legged wolves with spider chelicerae for fangs
>>98544573>>98544701Blanche's concept art for gsg went harder into the spider aspect too (as well as the fungus mutation stuff). Aside from the obvious spider riders (now with moonclan instead of forest goblins) you also had a four legged crossbow guy. There's also the squig lancer guy with a spider helmet (whose model is pretty clearly the basis for the loonboss on giant cave squig by the way).I also think the stinkhorn and the mold spreaders could be great weaponteams-esque type models.
>>98544726Literal wolf spiders would be cool.
>>98544758Here's the piece with the mold spreader and mold bearer, too.There's also his rendition of the dankhold troggoth, which is much more mutated and covered in shrooms. Has multiple limbs and an almost ratlike face.Blanche's gloomspite vision went much deeper into the body horror I think.
>>98544701>Spiders > Wolvesit’s kind of insane that they are still selling most of the first models I got when I got into the hobby at 9 years oldhow many of you fucks even know this box set?
I just bought the 25-26 generals handbook (with cards + objectives) for about 40 bucks. How stupid am I?
>>98544783Unless you plan on playing those missions with friends it’s pretty useless. 26-27 is the current seasonal handbook.
>>98544783are you just getting into the hobby? very stupid. this game, setting and company bring only pain and disappointment.40 bucks for the old handbook is also a rip
>>98544633we've had sun aspect stuff since the faction launched as its own army
>>98544758Blanche AOS concept art is super good. They owe it to his legacy to release some commemorative miniatures or something that try to copy his concepts as closely as possible, do one for each setting, why not.I wish more of his AOS art was publicised
>>98544775Get a grip anon damn near everyone knows about Skull Pass
>>98544775>how many of you fucks even know this box set?Anon, battle for skull pass is probably gw's most well known (fantasy) box set. It's referenced in this very general all the time.Well, the gobbo half is. Nobody gives a fuck about the dorf side.
>>98544796Yea getting it for spearhead andd needed the themed objectives now. I saw "26" and thought they were currsnt. Kindof annoyed the guy didnt say anything.
they just had to throw some mushrooms and bad moon imagery on them tbhon
>>98544804Commerative versions of his vision for stormcast would be great, much better than the usual stormcast commemoratives which are just slightly reposed existing sculpts usually.>I wish more of his AOS art was publicisedMe too anon, me too. I really wonder what other armies he made concepts for, and if so how they differed from what thr army actually ended up looking like. Some of his stuff like the kharadron or all the silver tower stuff is pretty one to one adapted, but his stormcast and gloomspite stuff is obviously a bit removed from what they ended up going with. Even if you can see the obvious influences.I wouldn't be surprised if in like a year from now they bring out some john blanche art collection book or something.
>>98544804They'll avoid it because he worked for other companies GW are peak Jew
lel some kids trying to sell this for 700 dollars.
>>98544802that's a moonclan dressing as their boogeyman
>>98544923It's pre-painted bro, you can easily get like twice that. I know what I've got.
>>98544923I assume the bird is commission painted and makes up the vast majority of the overall price?
>>98544940You don't get it. The Gitmob use the imagery of the Evil Sun because they hate it! They chase after it, use metal to channel it's power, decorate their wagons with its image because it really scares them. Stupidest fucking retcon and they'll probably split the army next edition anyway so why even bother
>>98544923looks pro-painted to me
>>98544968I wonder if anyone ever buys these "pro-painted" models on ebay.
>>98544923Those lava bases are pretty good man. They look like professional work even. You’re gonna have to pay up
>>98544983100 dollars for each pro painted model, the rest are just extra value.
>>98544983Isn't it just paint and a crackle texture paste lmao
>>98544923I spend 100 hours building and painting them at least That's under minimum wage + RRP + tipI'm giving you a deal
>>98544960having them as hating the sun and wanting to eat it/snuff it/steal its power is actually a very clever reframingthe hack part was making their iconography just generic sun idolatry instead of something that shows this new angle and unfortunately it's unlikely gw will split them
>>98544923Anything with 3d printed heads without the original bits should go for next to nothing imo
>>98544990Shush, trade secrets
>>98545001GW and rebooting the setting tbf
>>98545008I didn't even notice the 3d printed heads, did he just straight up put custodes print heads on there? kekaroo
>>98545016rebooting the setting doesn't mean the ranges are getting split
imagine if last world actually happens but all the rumour guys only had a tiny picture and it turns out it's just 'sigmar is presumed dead' for one malign portents-style event and then he returns at the start of next edition? will doomfags rope
>>98545161I mean that's the current assumption based on the various leaks we've had, given the "Sigmar is dead" solely comes from chaos POV and "sigmar is alive" comes from non-chaos POV (both of which were not there to see nor know.)
>>98545161that's what the rumors are point to? and no, doomsayers will just move to another talking point
>>98545033You don't know what rebooting the setting means.
>>98545277Tell it to >>98545016

Have you noticed how much less cocky they've gotten since the last one? The mood in their threads is sullen at best.
>>98545293It is pretty funny. I don't even dislike warhammer fantasy at all - but it's back now, and they're still not satisfied (because the lore started to suck in 8th edition and now they're realising that GW is still the same GW)The funniest is seeing the goblin image with the 'stormcast suicide rate' chart, which is like 8 years old now and hasn't been updated at all

>>98545561Amazon. Just look up "flowers for miniatures" or something similar and you'll find plenty of options. These ones can lose the colored puff at the top with some rough handling, unfortunately.
>>98545515i can't really fault some of the grogtards for that point of view, since vermintide 1 and 2 were what ultimately made me start collecting skaven back in 3rd edition AoSthat said though, having an actually decent AoS game would be great, especially since there's so much potential for all sorts of games given all the different factions and realmsspeaking of, that deathmaster game they revealed a while back, does anyone know if it takes place in the old world or mortal realms?

Should I just avoid washes? Acrylic washes almost always don't work right for pin crevices washes & just stain the idea in practice for me.
How hard are idoneth to assemble
>>98545992not very, except for the flight stands on the eels which are a major pain in the ass.eidolons a bit of a jigsaw but he's sturdy once he's together. that said, if you fully assemble him before painting there are parts of the models cape you will never reach with a brush, so consider sub assemblieseel riders are easier to paint if you leave the shields off until you paint the guy. you can also leave all the riders separate for easier paintingsharks crossbow mount can be a bit fiddly. its flight stand attaches much better than the eels though. same with the turtle, the flight stand on that one is fine too, it really is just the eels that are a problem. consider leaving the turtle and sharks platforms and crew as separate pieces too, it will make painting much easier.volturnos goes together easy enough, but if you glue on his cape before painting, getting the underside of the cape and the back of his armor and saddle painted will be tricky, but not impossible like the eidolon, but still easier to leave it as a sub assembly. reavers and thralls are very easy, most of the foot heroes are easy too, though i have no experience with the brand new floating and surfing guysoverall armies like pretty middle of the road difficulty army for assembly and painting, but leaving it in sub assemblies on some things makes it a lot easier. the actual assembly i didnt have any problems with except the eels flight stands
>>98545293Is that actually true? Pretty damn impressive if so>>98544918Sad but true
>>98541184kek now I definitely want this
do you think bloodbound will eventually get new models in TLW
>>98540296Prophetic post looking back on it
>>98543514I think they add a nice bit of science to it but not overwhelmingly so. It’s a nice contrast to the CD more mysticism focused side.
>>98539913>>98539923>>98539983>>98540017Clock is ticking until GW kills the setting pay piggies :)
>>98543920I thought the realms formed naturally on their own
>>98544007Because that would somewhat undermine the believability of a lot of things involving them
>>98544110Was this a joke or something they actually expected to sell
>>98544239>>98542519The art is undeniably a highlight at this point. Honestly if they released some sort of album collecting all of it I just might buy it.
>>98539913Soon
I keep getting into arguments with the same mother fucker who keeps telling me stormcast are morally grey and that there's no good guys in AOS. I want to scream.
>>98546679That's stupid. It couldn't be more clear cut there's good & bad guys. There's only morally grey alliances on the side of order.
>>98546692I KEEP SAYING THAT, he insists that all of Warhammer is meant to be a jab at over the top politics or viewing things through moral lenses. I keep saying: MOTHER FUCKER it's Uther the lightbringer as a god making paladins to fight the guy who wants to blow up the universe. Yeah there's dickhead stormcast but that doesn't mean that Stormcast as a whole entity are played up as bad guys, GW explicitly will try to put things out to do that but then instantly go back to portraying them as perfect gold angels.
>>98546679Stormcast are always objectively the good guys and even if some dumb GW writer tries to be edgy that just means whatever genocide happeend was 100% deserved and needed
>>98546697Yeah that kind of mindset of satire only sorta exists in 40k. Not always nor necessarily well done either but that doesn't mean it spreads to AoS.
>>98546703That's the point I'm trying to get across, even on a meta level GW isn't playing up Stormcast as evil nor Sigmar as evil. Even when they try it's pretty half assed. His arguments are that Sigmar is forcing souls into indentured service into his religious war and stormcast all are crazed murder machines invented by him for the sole purpose of killing his enemies.
>>98546719Sigmar's choosing to best people he can who have the courage to fight chaos & protect humanity to keep doing it. Saving more lives in the process. The flaw of reforging is just there so they're not overpowered by being respawnable. It doesn't make them crazy either. Just hyper focused because they have nothing else at a certain point. The alternative is Nagash just takes their souls to enslave. Wow I can't tell which side has the moral high ground at all.
>>98546728>Just hyper focused because they have nothing else at a certain point.Oh shit I never considered that's why they become super autists, it's literally just their heads are empty except for duty. That's actually really interesting.My point is while the Stormcast can be portrayed as having some fucked up aspects I think even with those combined they're still pretty much explicitly good in this setting. Even with shit like "They killed a village for consorting with beastmen." He brought up the Sigmar lied thing, I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT SIGMAR LIED ABOUT. Stormcasts have known how shit is gonna be since 1st edition, reforging shit isn't news.
>>98546737I concur with everything you've said.
>>98546744I APPRECIATE IT, I realize I'm autistic and can misconstrue media sometimes but this feels very cut and dry.
>>98546679You'll keep getting into the arguments until you define with the motherfucker what you two are arguing. I'm going to bet these are your respective points:>They're morally grey because they commit acts of oppression and discrimination too>Nu uh, they're objectively the good guys because they are what opposes the objectively bad guys>Nu uh, those "bad" guys are actually morally grey too because they also have rights and freedoms>Nu uh, those rights and freedoms don't outweigh the evils and atrocities they commit and support >Nu uh, you can't say that what the "good" guys do clears them of their own acts of oppression eitherAnd so on and on because you don't like the label of "morally grey" applied to them and he doesn't like the label of "good" applied to them despite both being right since stormcasts absolutely do commit terrible things too, and they also inarguably are a force of good compared to what they oppose.The only possible way you two could keep on disagreeing would be if you refuse to call them grey even with the addendum that they're still a lighter shade of grey compared to everything else, or that he refuses to accept that there's a different moral weight between someone who murders 10 people but saves a person once, and someone who saves 10 people, but murders a person once.Or if he's somehow dumb enough to think that chaos lord corpserapist leader of the babyflayer daemonshosts somehow kills and saves just as many people as angel lord braveheart leader of the soulbright dawnbringers, but then why in the flying fuck are you talking with a drooling retard?
>>98546737Sigmar lied is just another example of GW not caring about AoS continuity nor lore consistency. Thankfully it never amounted to more than a marketing line and a miniseries.
>>98546786I think the best way I can define things is I see the Stormcast as a good guy faction with morally grey bits to it, but as a whole are good guys. He sees them as I'm not even gonna say morally grey, fucker just sees them as bad guys, but I'm gonna be nice and assume he sees them as morally grey with some good aspects. I do not think GW has done anywhere near enough to push them as being evil, but his point of view on what I say is and I'll just copy this down: >I’m sure the innocent cities who were murdered would appreciate people promoting the SCE propaganda showing them as good guys still. Even if it’s just one city.>but then why in the flying fuck are you talking with a drooling retard?This is the shmuck who runs the local community for my fucking city area. He's really really fucking annoying and I really really dislike having to interact with him because he's unfortunately just THERE at all times. (Everytime I bitch that Gitz are in a shit spot he has to butt in and say I'm over exaggerating)
>>98546791>runs the local communitythen you shouldn't talk to the fat fuck, because he's basically a rotten moderator with his head up his ass, but if you really really really want to keep on entertaining the argument ask him if he thinks chaos murdered fewer innocents, and if this makes the stormcasts better than them and thus a lighter shade of grey.If he disagrees even there, then he'll be at the very least aware of the fact he's being hypocritical.
>Deciding on a faction with gfShe unironically likes Maggotkin the most, I thought girls liking monsters was a meme. Daughters of Khaine was her least favorite.
>>98546819>then you shouldn't talk to the fat fuckHonestly probably the most reasonable solution here, it's really hard sometimes for my own autism not to flare up and go in to ask what the fuck the deal is. I don't even particularly like Stormcast that much, I do think they are a neat front facing faction as almost explicitly good guy paladins fighting for the realms over and over at the expense of themselves.>>98546823Tbf Maggotkin have really cool fucking models.

The part about them hating the sun because it chases away the bad moon, but also kind of respecting it because gits are naturally predisposed to like bullying is pretty good.However, as you say, their actual iconography doesn't really show any of that it's all basic sun stuff, except maybe droggz' halo. It really doesn't feel like they're gloomspite who happen to specialize in chasing the sun, they feel like an entirely different sun-based army who also just happen to be goblins.
>>98546719>His arguments are that Sigmar is forcing souls into indentured service into his religious war and stormcast all are crazed murder machines invented by him for the sole purpose of killing his enemiesStormcast are on the whole perfectly capable of hanging out with mortals. Most of them were only chosen after living a good part of their life, so some of them even have children and other deacendants they check up on and shit. The crazy thunder ghost stuff only happens after x amount of reforgings. Which, yeah, it's tragic, but also consider that most would've been just normally killed by sigmar knows what eldritch chaos abomination if they hadn't been chosen in the first place, it sounds like a small price to pay.Oh also, GW even changed the most tragic part about them with Sigmar's Mercy. Like, if they were forever cursed to be a crazy lightning ghost then yeah I could somewhat understand the morally dubious angle (even if I disagree) but with 4th introducing sigmar's mercy you can always just permakill a stormie that's too far gone anyway. Which is really lame by the way, what's even the downside of getting stormcasted now? Previously there was some desperate times call for desperate measure stuff going on, but right now stormcasting feels like a strict positive. Oh no you might get dementia at some point, who cares, siggy will just send you to a farm upstate.
>>98547021>>98545001It would work better if there were at least two subfactions of gitmobs with the two opposing philosophies>the evil sun is the biggest bully there is, of course I hate it and want it dead!>the evil sun is the biggest bully there is, of course I adore it and want to be like it!
>>98547072speaking of, did the battletomes even have subfactions and alt-schemes for gloomspite gits?
>>98543973>>98543908>>98544379you don’t have to say this/remind me of this
>>98547110Thye shown off a bunch of shemes over the different tomes.
>>98546673Nah he’s gone sadly >>98546823>with gfGood one buddy
>>98543884why do you think sigmarites stopped producing steam tanks?
>>98547110yeah especially in the older tomesnewer ones are much lighter on that kind of stuff, but they usually have a double page spread of an army painted in an alt scheme. 4th edition gloomspite tome had one for the jaws of mork (white and orange). SBGL had the flooded kingdom, etc. But the older tomes frequently have lots of pics of minis painted in alternate colour, like picrel from the 2nd edition tome
>>98547117>>98547142uh, I never see anyone talk about the gobs' subfactions like people talk about the cities' or ossiarchs'
>>98547157Gitz discussion divides it more alonge mooncal/spider/squig/trogg/wolf
>>98547157like >>98547167 said the different subthemes (?) tend to be more important than the subfactionsthat being said I feel like subfactions in general aren't super fleshed out in AoS. Notable exception being CoS of course, no surprise they also have the most well known ones.Like how many different stormhosts can the average aos player name? And they're supposed to be the posterboys
>>98547171I think the main ones are fairly well known now >golden poster boys>silver "only the faithful" boys >white genocidal boys>black gloomy boys>purple noble savage boys
>>98547181I honestly would bet a good amount of money that most aos players wouldn't be able to connect a picture to a name for even these 5.case in point, the celestial vindicators are teal, not white. At least I assume that's who you meant by the genocidal ones
>>98547188I meant the knights excelsiorsbut yeah, you're probably right, we're in a bubble of extraordinary knowledge about these dudes here
>>98547191Oh yeah, my bad.
>>98547171>Like how many different stormhosts can the average aos player name?Probably the main real theamed 5 + randos they remember for seme reason. Half the CoS are named after Stormhost that 'funded" them, so if you remember Vindicarum or Excelsis you remember Vindicators and Excelsiors
>>98547121They did? What replaced them?
>>98547055>>98546786>>98546728I read somewhere that Sigmar ended up negotiating something with Nagash to lessen the impact of reforging, something about enabling them to better retain their personalities but I don’t know how true it is.
I don't know if anyone has talked about this yet, but gw is preparing another price hike at the end of september. You can see the new prices on https://trade.games-workshop.com/resources/(Click on the thing that says 'essentials pack', change it to 'guidance docs', then scroll down to 'order forms'. First result should be 'UK price adjustment 09 26' which is an excel file with all the new prices for all currently sold products in gbp.I had a look and some products change more than others, relatively speaking, but it seems to be between 2%-4% at a quick glance.Spearheads go from 91 gbp to 95 for example. I tried to see what that would be in gw conversion but I don't think they sell anything at exactly 95 gbp, and things are a bit inconsistent sometimes. The "legion sicaran assault tank" for 30k is currently priced at 96 gbp, it's 118 in euros. However, spearheads are currently priced at 91 gbp, but 120 in euros. It's a bit of a mess. I'd expect something like 125 euros / 155 usd to be the new spearhead price.
>>985471882nd edition presented them alongside bespoke rules so players knew then given the tendency to view painting as an extension of rules by normies
>>98547235My dick
>>98547118Shame because I think he could have made for an entertaining rivalry. Oh well.
>>98542452In case some anons from Berlin wants to pick those, there are like 5-6 left in the magazine store at Ostbahnhof
4th is so soulless they don't even reprint the same shitty siege rules every edition has gotten Grim
I miss Untamed Beasts We should've expanded a bunch of cultist warbands instead of just Darkoath Chaos is a horde not a generational tribe
>>98547516>Chaos is a horde not a generational tribeDarkoath are thoughbeit I don't really like it either but that's what they are
>>98547540why is some random tiny tribe marauding in every realm? >azyrites from lethis prevented my people from hunting skull bears to extinction, so we raid every faction in every realm forever
>>98547481They did in WD
>>98547549I thought you meant generational tribe as in, a nomadic horde of people.Darkoath are meant to represent the baseline chaos worshipper. Nothint specific in any direction, be it one of the big four, or some other minor deity like the wc warbands.>>98547549
>>98547664I mean a consistent group of people, rather than a collective of disparate ones. I would prefer if Marauders were a handful of Cultist bands plus some heroes for each, rather than the homogenous Darkoath range which are all one people, one tribe.
>>98547796I mean the darkoath range is also only like, 6 kits? 7?You can achieve the same result by just proxying warcry warbands.
Anyone seem an Ironblaster kitbash yet? I thought that'd be easier than Stonehorns given it's just a Glutton with the arms reposed
>amnesia, forgets about her order of azyr work and gotrek >now a regular DoK >literally whitewashed in coverart they did her dirty
>>98547998I haven't read any of the aos gotrek books (nor the later whfb ones), is she interesting? I've heard they can't really commit to side characters in the aos books.Also holy shit her model might be the worst case of gw female face syndrome I've ever seen.
>>98544493Personally actually glad they went this route as one of my biggest problems with a lot of AoS armies is how gimmicky they can feel. Whereas Gloomspite actually feel like an actual blend of Goblin/Troll culture. However, that being said for the next big release/if we didn't go wolf riders:>(Snarlpack Riders) Seeing how the Ogres aren't doing anything with Snotlings, could be fun to have a Snotling Slinger unit or something more wacky. Maybe Snotlings wearing Moonclan robes too large for them trying to seem bigger and tougher than they are. Or just copy paste piggyback riders and have them function like squires to Gobbo-Cav. >Might be stepping on Kruelboyz toes but a Moonclan Mancatcher unit could be fun. If they charge into a unit, they make it easier/harder hitting for another unit to charge into said unit.>Another Rockgut/Fellwater equivalent Troll unit centered around a different environment than Earth or Water. Lava trolls, Forrest Trolls, Ice Trolls, anything really just have fun with it. >Moonclan Assassin hero killer. >Massive Troll centerpiece, at least Trugg sized that's more pure beatstick.>Named Squig Rider that's scary in combat (for a goblin) that also provides buffs to cavalry OR A Fellwater Troll Shaman named character.
>>98547998>>98548036Looks close enough
Does any Anon have a pdf for 4th edition for the Daughters of Khaine?
>>98548070Snotlings=/=gnoblars, I assume you meant the latter?Seeing the pump wagon be brought back in some form would be cool thoAlways done for more troggoth. Ironically we don't have normal (sourbreath) troggoths anymore.
>>98548086The fantasy Snotlings/space Gnoblars yes.
>>98547842Good news, you literally can just do a head swap and call it a day.
>>98546823To be fair, nurglings are fun little guys.
>>98548120It looks serviceable but I'd want the army to be consistent rather than new heads on old square ogres
>>98548036She's okay, mainly just a sassy Aelf with cutthroat tendencies for Gotrek's AoS humiliation ritual (forget the Dwarf slaves did ye, Gotrek?). She does however have a legitimate character arc unlike Gotrek which they hilariously retcon in her standalone book.

>>98548226it's a video, not an image
>>98548163The old bodies are actually nearly the same size only things you'd wanna change to make them more consistent is the new spikey mouth plates for gutplates, heads, M.C hammer pants, and you'd probably want no spikey boots too but that's an easy fix.>>98548189There is at least one implication of ogor sex in the book, I'd bet Grell is out there fuckin.
>>98548264>There is at least one implication of ogor sex in the book...there is?
