Most of my armies are too selfish to really waste points on ROR's, but I guess I do use the demon prince ROR for my tzeentch army whenever I feel fruity.

Something like darkwater where you can choose from a bunch of assorted heros from various order factions. Preferably generic characters.

I use Gitmob in SoB ubiquitously but otherwise just FEC, Dankhold, or Fyreslayers in CoS.
I'd like to run a Treelord + Dryads in CoS for some living city kino. Give them rules about protecting a wyldwood that heals allies.

>>98548502
The CoS coalition AoR was pretty disappointing in how limited it was + not being able to take RoR's. Cool concept which acknowledges the roots of the faction, but horrible execution.

fair enough, when he asked me about the yellow at check out and how to paint with it, i told him that i know how and that i usually just basecoat it with beige, since i thought that's what he was getting at

GW refusing to pay decent money for good artists is the most baffling thing ever for me. They are wealthier than ever and the art, while not at the absolute bottom we’ve seen a few short years ago, is still pretty ass compared to the 4th edition 40k/6th edition Fantasy Kopinski/Blanche golden era.

Just pay for good artists. The art is so important to stoking imagination and encouraging people, or at least it used to be.

no idea but if you need KO transfers, check out the dwarf transfer sheets they made for the old world. those should work perfect on the ship hulls.

the new helsmiths and cities come with transfers at least, so it seems like they're starting to be more transfer friendly with their releases. i wouldnt be surprised if KO get a sheet eventually

what separates a drake from a dragon?

Drake has five grammys, and 41 billboard awards. Dragons (short for Imagine Dragons), meanwhile, only has one grammy and ten billboard awards.

>>98550669
All Drakes are Dragons but not all Dragons are Drakes

We have little to go off but the Flesh Eater Court Tome mention that

two classes of dragons
Greater Dragons such as the Drconiths
Lesser Dragon such as Wyverns, Moon Drakes and Black Serpents of Narkath

and one of the distinction is how lesser dragons are known to have draconith graveyards where one goes to die. Here the FEC will use their bones to construct the Zombie Dragons

I did not. Something I should do in the future?
>>
>>98548634
This site is becoming unusable in public with all the gooner ads.
>>
>>98551153

not bad for your first time but this is still objectively bad compared to most people at the table. like other anon said, thin your paint. your shit looks way too crusty.

watch some tutorials next time before you paint, no reason to have your minis look like this. keep in mind you spent a lot of money so put forth the time to get your money's worth
>>
>>98551153
You're gonna hear this A LOT. Thin your paints anon, get the brush a bit more most and don't slather too much on there. Otherwise you did solid staying in the lines, colors are cohesive and the shade looks nice. For a first mini it obviously has room to improve but otherwise I think you've done solid here.

>>98551174
how about the gooner anons?
>>
>>98551171
on the chance this isn't bait. yes, always thin your paints with a bit of water. a simple rule of thumb is every color should take 2-3 coats.
>>
>>98551188
>every color should take 2-3 coats

NTA but I never liked that description because sometimes depending on the paint 1 coat is perfectly fine.
>>
>>98551171
Always. Thinner's less than 20 bucks for a good tall bottle. If you're using acrylics you can also use water but thinner is better.
>>
>>98550669
Wings
>>
>>98551188
Wasn't bait. I thought you just put brush in the paint and start slathering.

I'll check some stuff out on it, but are there any rules of thumb when it comes to thinning paint, like ratios?
>>
>>98551146
Dragons probably take it if you include certain named ones
>>
>>98551146
Dragon, duh
>>
>>98550382
He makes sure. 1 demonic incursion is game over for them, so Azyr is a thought control police state
>>
>>98551200
I personally use one drop of thinner for one drop of paint. Rule of thumb seems to be 2/3 to 1/2 depending on your amount of paint drops. Also might depend on the paint you use.
>>
>>98551193
i 100% agree but when your laying it on like in anon's pic, i think its a decent rule of thumb.
>>
>>98551200
if you need a ratio, 2/1 paint to water to start with. you'll learn which of your paints need less or more by fucking it up and remembering.

I was more wondering why that was the case. I think for AoS we've only ever seen proper transfer sheets for helsmiths and CoS, as well as a small shitty one for stormcast and maybe on for specifically varanguard or something? Meanwhile they're all over gw's other games. Basically everything in tow has them even when you think it wouldn't fit; e.g. beastmen or wood elves. Just found it a bit strange.

>>98551851
Every army is a gimmick army dumbass.
>>
>>98551918
Yeah the thing is that the tow models look like shit. I even bought the executioners or whatever the things with the axes were and after assembling them I realized even their latest update, their aesthetic fucking sucks (along with building them, but thats a different thing entirely).
>>
>>98551802
I just want GW to stop teasing by dropping Kurnothi into every sidegame release for the last 8 years and just put out a couple of normal unit kits and heroes that can be played as a proper subfaction.

At this point, GW has been wanking a future Kurnothi release longer than they did Darkoath and shit went all the way back to Silver Tower.
>>
>>98551949
Most armies actually exist in the game. Kurnothi are a sidegame oddity which gw has clearly indulged too much.
>>
>>98551956
Wood Elf models are pretty shit, yeah. You've got ancient plastic models that look like crap, newer plastic models that still aren't very good and then a bunch of metal shit.

Even in TOW, no one buys Wood Elves or plays them and they haven't gotten a single new model.
>>
>>98551968
I think the only thing I really like that wood elves really ever provided I liked were the dryads (of whom I would not object to an update) or the treelord whose really fun to hobby with. Prince maesas old model is one I have a love hate relationship even ignoring the fact that it looks nothing like his bl intepretation.
>>
>>98551918
Wood Elves and Beastmen are fucking dogshit WHF models. You would never see anything from their ranges in AoS ever, the quality just isn't there
>>
>>98551966
It's pretty obvious that there was a planned Kurnothi release that got pushed back internally at some point. Around the time Beastgrave was announced, GW was ALL IN in hyping Kurnothi as a new race of Aelves, before eventually walking it back slightly. Even now every BL story that has even a single Kurnothi in it is labeled "A Kurnothi Story" not a Sylvaneth Story or CoS story.

It's nothing new though, at the end of the day. Like I mentioned before, Darkoath went through the same never ending hype/sidegames cycle before finally releasing an armybox. GW was teasing Chaos Dwarfs in the reveal for the Dominions Box, even though that shit didn't release until mid 4E, etc etc.

How are Blades of Khorne in 4e?
I played a bit with the Skaventide box, Spearhead was super fun. The main game was not enough to keep me around tho since I'm still grieving after 2e. I built a rather big Khorne Daemons army for 40k in the meantime and enjoyed it a lot. I kind of hope that playing 4e with an army that I like a lot will help me with sticking around.
I believe I have the full Khorne Daemon range, namely:
Skarbrand/Bloodthirster, Karanak, Skulltaker, Bloodmaster, Skullmaster (is he even legal in AoS), Daemon Prince,
60 Bloodletters, 20 Flesh Hounds, 15 Bloodcrushers and 2 Skull Cannons.
Is there any chance these can make for a valid and viable list?
>>
>>98552384
Oh yeah I have Claws of Karanak as well since I got a Spearhead box for Hounds and Karanak himself. Are Fangs of the Blood God any fun in Spearhead or has GW switched not only to pushing their dead stock but also dropping the ball on balance?
>>
so how will they explain that most named characters will survive the transition to the last world without sounding retarded?
>>
>>98552404
The humans will crawl into a magic portal and re-emerge after the jump. Everyone else will just shrug it off because they're effectively immortal.

>>98552404
Depends on the transition. The main thing seems to be a time jump, so they'll address that with stasis of some kind
>>
>>98552335
74 models? Pffft that's a stroke against him because that's wrong. We got 73 miniatures and one gryh token. Clearly another Nurgle Troll situation.
This guy is full of it
>>
>>98552404
No way to not make it retarded really. At least when it comes to humans.
You can either have a timeskip or you can keep your named mortal characters around. If you want both, you're going to have to have some retarded deus ex machina bullshit. No way around it. I suppose gw bit the bullet and decided option B was the lesser of two evils.

I will be, I just don't like rules being fudged which forces certain playstyles and list escalation
basic infantry is shit if large monsters are around

for example my normal list is now better because the 2x 10 chaos warriors can now be a 20 man block, and a 20 man block with MoN, eroding icon and a 5+ ward from a sorceror is more efficient than 2x 10 because the sorcerors ability for the 5+ ward now affects all of them (not just 1 unit) and all out defense affects the entire unit too, not just 1 unit of 10

but shit like clanrats will just get deleted by shit like a cogfort or GUO
>>
>>98552687
He looks like a cross-breed between a dwarf and a elementalist mage. Yes, he does have the sickle, and the ghyran trinket, and the antlers, but aside from the antlers they both feel subdued. Idk I just feel like this dude is more like a rock wizard or something if thats even a thing in fantasy.

>>98552384
That is ALOT of stuff tbqh anon.At least for a 4e army. But the blood thirsters and blood letters are just about the most premium stuff you can have in blades of khorne atm. I dont know if the blood crushers (or the mortal variant for that matter) are good atm for their costs, and dogs are probably overcosted for their role where you just want the generic cheap lanky cultists. Skull cannnons are also a gimmick.

>>98548968

The realms are based on the winds of magic and WHF wizards were based on those, but TOW predates this formalisation so it got models reflected two or more "realms".

Aside from boole there's lots of signs the refresh is coming, AoS has been in a creative standstill since broken realms and thondia's plans fell apart.

Hell the more worrying part is that they're looking for someone to lead AoS, and given the timing that means they just wrote the content for 5e's first year and are now leaderless.

I kinda groaned when I saw he was in charge of 4th.

one of the leakers had posted a while back that rose is responsible for leading rules writing both 40k and AoS now, but I'm not sure if his position is the same as the job listing. The job listing sounds more like a producer or management role than rules writing.

>>98552977
I'm half in and half out on it being a good or bad thing. I don't like the direction the story is taking since 3e, or the rules, or much of anything aside from the models. If a new lead changes that I'm all for it. The downside of that being the case is that 5e is not going to much different than 4e.

interest in AoS as a game is probably at an all time low but sales are up. GW must see that and think this is what people want more of in terms of rules lmao
Everyone I know only collects AoS in spite of the rules now. It's for Spearhead. It's for 5th edition. It's for another wargame. I just like to hobby.
Fucking hilarious. It's like if Warmachine was a bonified hit because everyone just wanted the models and setting.
>>
>>98553054
he did a great job of cleaning up the rule language, timings, the way abilities work etc

no morale mechanic is a shit decision, universal 3" combat ranges are too much, endless spells tying things in combat and zoning units, boiling the game down to like 5 command abilities and then making rally, counter charge and power through available to everyone is also a mistake.

the math behind unit stating and their EHP was also ruined. The more you pay in points doesn't necessarily translate to less effective wounds like it did in prior editions. It's not uncommon to see cav have better health and saves per point than chaff infantry.
>>
>>98553097
Gw is very lucky Pearson did such a good job with spearhead because it is carrying AoS pretty hard right now, at least from what I've experienced. I'm (for some reason) cautiously optimistic that they've seen all the complaints and will address it in 5th.
As a sidenote, apparently pearson is working on the starcraft game now. Good for him.

Seems like more reason to keep them then. No one's stopping you from playing older editions with friends.

>>98554210
>The classic "Schrödinger friends" argument of a no-game
Anyway, you don't need any books to play old editions since Wahapedia has all the info you need. Your old codexes and battletomes became obsolete within 2 weeks from their release in the first place. Most armybooks have 20-30 pages of errata by the end of their respective edition.

otherwise your best bet is "lord whatever on gryphthing", one of those heroes.

its not as big as any of the true monsters though like the morgryph or a stardrake, its much too small for that.

miiiiiight be close enough to ionus to use it as that though, ionus is more or less on the ground and on a medium-ish sized drake

Whoever decided to make the Krondspine have zero support beyond its base connection AND being a giant spiraling model is a sack of shit. It's cool, but fuck you that was a bitch to build.

Reading up on krork lore, both types of greenskins descend from them, but big ones are soldier ants and small ones are worker ants.
Still gives us 0 clue if hobs are workers becoming soldiers or soldiers regressing into workers

Many such cases.
I feel like the starter set units are usually pretty meh though, not all of them obviously. The stormcast counterpart of the clawlord, the lord vigilant (?) on gryph-stalker is also pretty shit. Vindictors from the previous box are horrendous.

To be fair, Big Stabba spam was an accident derived from Kragnoss getting added after they dropped the points. GW didn't plan it

i really cant get over this. i have 3 mangler bosses as the core of my gloomspite collection leading a charge of 30 bounders, and they literally cannot stop making the manglers worse every edition.

at least in the old world they're only like 80 pts so even if they suck you can throw them in your list for fun, but in aos they've always been like 100pts overcosted too on top of having mediocre stats. you cant even do impact hits with more than 1 per turn now thanks to the fucking retarded once per turn army restriction on impact hits. like....what the fuck are we doing here?
>>
>>98556644
They’re actually 95 points in tow. I’m not sure what they’re competeing with internally there though.

>Aren't they cheap as fuck in aos now too?

well now now yeah. they've dropped something like 100pts over the course of 4th edition so far. loonboss on mangler squig is 140 now and i think they were like 240 or so at the start of the edition, though i dont have the original patch notes handy to check the exact figure.

problem is, even that low, they still arent worth it because a unit of 5 boingrot bounders (120pts) does 2x the damage without any buffs. the mangler boss has an okay buff of +1 to hit, but its only once per battle, and even worse its once per battle (army) so you cant even repeat it if you take more than 1 mangler boss.

and then the non boss mangler is only 10 pts cheaper but has worse attacks, ZERO impact hits, and cant take artifacts or traits, so it is significantly worse apart from its once per army bouncing ability which, given the paper thin defensive profile of a mangler, is of dubious value since it will rarely survive combat with anything anyways but its so pillow fisted it doesnt function well as an assassin either

in previous editions there was some play with mangler bosses with fight another day shenanigans, but that doesnt really work anymore, and the new profiles are so bad i think they'll struggle to ever find a cost where they're playable since they compete directly against bounders and hoppers which do the same job better and cheaper. if AoS had strength v toughness it could maybe carve out a niche as a high S unit, but it doesnt so its harder to have a specific use case.

the version in ToW has D6 attacks with the gob at ap -2, and its balls and chains are resolved as part of the impact hits, making its d6 impact hits ap -3, and then it has d3 stomp attacks too. all for 95 pts. its a much better unit than the aos counterpart, although i dont think ToW version can be a character at all, bosses can only mount cave squigs in that game, which is a shame, a mangler loaded up with a boss full of magic items would be sick

Getting mad when I compare fourth edition warscrolls with soulful TOW unit profiles.
>>
>>98556644
You're one hundred percent correct.

This is a casualty of 4e course correction. Units in 3e were pointed for factors that just aren't in 4e, like their mounts attacks being companion or bravery.

When 4e came they axed bravery, slapped companion weapons on all mounts with a rider, even if the rider is basically symbolic like you see here, and also aligned stats with archetypes, like monsters hitting on 4s. The problem with this is they rarely assessed points after the fact or did much to acknowledge it.

It's why rockguts were like 160 points at beginning of 4e because bravery fucked them in 3e and they were pointed lower for it. While zombies were 150 and no where near as durable as 3e where they benefitted from bravery, vs clan rats to who started at like 120 with their shit bravery.

The absolute fucked part is they still keep doing this and show no sign of fixing it.
>>
>>98557037
Companion weapons make sense, you can't issue orders to someone else's horse like you can order the man riding it.
>>
>>98556737
this guy's trophies aged poorly. Oh look at you, having slain a Stormcast 50 years ago? Have you done anything since mate or did you peak in 2nd edition?
>>
>>98557168
I think the point people are making is that some models are basically independent monsters that happen to have some irrelevant goblin or other useless mook strapped to their back who contributes nothing. Treating them like horses instead of monsters is weird.

>>98557886
When it comes to "edgy" by looks straight out of the box, I'd say SBGL, StD, Skaven, DoK.
If talking about lore straight out of the books, then:
Slaanesh is heavily themed around narcissistic and hedonistic sadism.
Skaven and Helsmiths if you want incredibly oppressive and backstabby societies.
Ultimately, you can make any faction as stupidly edgy as you want, really.

The problem with this is that there's no reason to use the models. Just abstract inches to mm and use wooden cubes or something, have fun on a regular play area.

Nighthaunt probably or ossiarchs. Nagash started as a mortal and choose to be evil. Compound that with his lifespan and scale of damage and his toll is pretty massive.

unfortunately no. The standard subscription runs you $1552 for all 90 editions. it's $250 less than buying all the spearheads direct from GW, but it's more expensive than buying all of the speaheads at any other retailer. Buying all the spearheads at the standard $128 lgs price only costs $1536. Admittedly, you also get the spearhead terrain with the magazine but I'm pretty sure you don't the actualy boards, just paper ones. You could buy everything from any non-warhammer store right away and it would come out to around the same price. Unless you really wanted a bunch of shitty warhammer paints, there's no reason to sub to the magazine. Do the smart thing and wait till they put up individual issues on their site later, and buy the ones you want, they'll actually be a worthwhile discount at that point.
