In which case did it work the best?
>>98568925>TQProbably Mir Kainan. Love that nigga
>>98568971Double dissapointed OBR don't have more maces, and Kainan is a one off that doesn't have an equiv in OBR.
So is Hashut supposed to be a Chaos God, daemon or some kind of independent entity/deity like the various ‘gods’ from Fantasy?
>>98569032He's a dwarf god who sees Chaos as an opportunity rather than a threat
>>98568989are you sure kainans not just supposed to be a variant of floaty scythe guy? they're pretty similar with the head shape, no mouth, those hanging tokens on the hip and neck, the black bone coloration, the weapon handles are also similar with both having that long rune etched haft with spinal column bits (on the bottom of kainans but on the top of soul reapers)
>>98569050I'd agree if kainan wasn't like twice as big
>>98569032He's a chaos god, but a minor one compared to the big 4. He's lower ranked than GHR which must really fucking annoy him.
>Wish for ages that OBR get more designs that aren't just bones shaped into a human/animal design>These are what GW comes up withI like the idea of bodies with big nagash black pyramid materials but the execution is very mid
>>98569126Aren't those chests? They carry stuff around in place of their head
>>98569126The wizard is cool.
>>98569151He is, simple but effective.
Maggotbros, how do I build a maggotkin army? I don't need it to be meta or anything. I got the darkwater box, have a glottkin I'm working on, 5 (old) blightkings, 2 pusgoyles, harbinger of decay. What other stuff should I focus on getting?
>>98569151>>98569152Today i will remind them
>>98569210
>>98569203Pestigors are good with foul hoof. Two reinforced squads of them are the most you want of them tho. Just make sure you paint what you have first mkay.
>>98569203forgot my attention grabbing webm
>>98569215I do love pestigors. Shame I can't make a full unit with the ones from darkwater but a bit of improvising will manage I think
>among his many misadventures Captain Gorlok's biggest mistake was taking the pet parrot of a necromancer he killed>during its stay with the dark sorcerer the bird learned numerous incantations it liked to blindly repeat>when the Blackpowder crew finally met its end the parrot's screached out a curse raising the pirates as shambling corpses and spectral sailors>now they're forced to roam the Mortal Realms in search for crackers for their bird-brained master>all while the trophy skull of the necromancer has its last laugh
>>98569549Great
>>98569203Whatever you want bro it's your collection?
I love Morathi
>>98569768You could have at least blur out the penis in the background
>>98569768>>>/tg/slop
>>98569032Amcestor god that ascended to (minor) chaos god status.alternatively, he's an independant daemon wearing the skinsuit of said ancestor god to trick the chorfs into worship a la morathi with khaine
generate daughters of khaine trans porn with an elf addressing the viewer as good boy thank you chatgpt youre the only one who gets me
>>98569814
Is the dok-slopper the same as the /wfg/ beastwomen-slopper?
>>98569940How would i know i don't go into that shit thread
>>98569940No, in Fantasy I play Druchii not beasts
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/downloads/warhammer-age-of-sigmar/
>>98570020Maybe I'm retarded but what chamged here?
>>98570111I’ve only just learned the su before yesterday that Warhammer is actually fairly popular over there. We need the anime already…
>>98570145MtG had a manga about Japanese people playing MtG (just regular cardboard, not like duel masters anime)
>>98570140A few rules had their phrasing slightly tweaked.
>>98570111Japanese apartments are always sold/rented unfurnished. It's a nation of autists.
>>98570140Auric Hearthguard now have a demon keyword
>>98570187if would be thematically kino if the Grimwrath got it ngl I wish Saurus kept it
>>98569921>fully armoredJustice for DoK bikini armor!
>>98570226>gnoblar
>>98570226Should be a starborne AoR quirk
>>98567952I did your homework for you and checked the army book, none of the dragon designs present in the book look anything like the magmadroth. Closest you get is the little page divider icon (top right) and that one is still a ways away. The dragon iconography seems to be either based on the whfb noodle dragons (like on the irondrake gun, or the art on the bottom left) or on generic norse/anglo-saxon dragon motifs They seem very smooth and snake-like on the hole
>>98570466here's a little collage of pics I found in the book
>>98570466Snake holes? Morathi?
>>98569921Do the same for a helsmith of hatshut be instead of "good boy" he says "shut the fuck up" as he is tossing you into one of their pain furnaces for soul processing.
>>98570226I should get back to batch painting my gluttons this weekend. Batch painting is so tedious it's hard to stay focused while doing this shit. BUT if I can manage it, that's 800 points of army painted.
>TOW gets free SOVL filled scenarios on WarcomWTF why do we never get shit like this?
>>98570531
>>98570553awesome, saved to my phone
Ogors are in the app now in case you can’t do basic math.
>>98570483And here's the schizo looking asian magmadroth connections. There's a lot of specific visuals that you can point squarely to asian influences, though which specific flavour is a bit harder to pin down.The nose-horn thing is a very prominent feature in SEA dragon designs (though admittedly also in some western ones, like for example the welsh dragon)The flames on the ""shoulders"" seem to be derived from east asian dragon designs, as you can clearly see here. The flared tail is also very commonly found in both east and south-east asian dragons.The wavy/spikey mane is also pretty asian.I'm not knowledgeable enough about different asian depictions of dragons to really say where most of the influence comes from, but they're certainly asian.The depictions I've found of asian dragons that most closely match the magmadroth are those from Vietnam, which is kind of a borderzone between chinese and more specific south-eastern culture. (though afaik these depictions are from the Le dynasty, which was more sinicized than some of the earlier vietnamese dynasties) As you can see they're relatively stocky which matches the magmadroth well. Looking at them side by side, Vietnam definitely looks like the best pick.
>>98570551AoS is entirely opposed to narrative play
>>98570636You just put a couple of images together and circles random bits
>>98570483The nose horn here looks more like a magmadroth than >>98570636
>>98570551>>98570645This doesn't fit into the " fight over circles on the board" core gameplay loop of AoS 4e
>>98570551AoS get free WD content
>>98570663What’s stopping yall from just not playing over the circles and doing something you find more interesting?
>>98570636I'm convinced You're a schizo
>>98570551>SurpiseOnce per turn (army) (enemy movement phase) you may Surprise an opponent that ends a move action within 12" of a terrain piece that does not yet have more than three Surprise! tokens. On a 3+ add one Surprise token to that terrain piece >Occupied Once per turn (army) (combat phase). If an enemy is within 6" of a terrain piece with a Surprise! tokens you may roll that many D3 and on a 2+ inflict that many mortal woundsSOVL!!!!
>>98570647I'm sorry but if you can not see the connections here you are beyond hope. It's not advanced stuff it's just shit like "there's spikes here". A child could do it.
>>98570676>free WD contentI know everyone here is more than a little acquainted with piracy, but did you actually forget that White Dwarf is, at least in theory, supposed to cost real money?
>>98570636Magmadroths have spikes that lol like flames... But that's a bit random, isn't it? I think it's more likely their design takes influence from SEA temple statues
>>98570710Also back issue on Warhammer +
>>98570720Are they still half a decade behind? I'd sub if they had pdfs that were just 3-6 months behind but no they actually remove narrative content on WH+ because old rules would encourage people not to play the latest edition
>>98570712>okay they do look like that but it's just a coincidence!I accept yout concession
>>98570596I'd appreciate if ogors got onto fucking wahapedia already.
>>98570756they both have spikes, that's about it
>>98570712why would magmadroths have spikes shaped like flames? please think before you post they are obviously based on malaysian dragons
>>98570767It's okay anon, your further supplications are not necessary. I have already moved past your errors. We all make mistakes.
What’s everyone working on? Doing the last maulbeast whilst I wait for my wave 2 to turn up
>>98570226 Excellent Mutton Chops on that lad on the left.
>>98570862I was going to build and paint up the new chaos lord on dragon as an Archaon proxy, but then I fell and broke my arm so that got put on hold and it sucks.
>>98570862I really like the markings anon, adds a lot of character.I fucked up my back so I couldn't really sit down to paint for the past week. Sucks because I had a good bit of time to paint otherwise. At least it seems to be getting better rapidly.
>>98570862finishing up the last of my 40 clanrats, have them hanging upside down while drying since i like using washes to color the inside of their mouths and the bottom of their skirts and shit
>>98570862Finished the Skink for my first Terradon Rider
>>98570862I finished 1 of my 2 tyrants (the other one is taking a bath for being a bad paintjob.) I've also got my 20 gluttons (mix of old and new bodies and bits and like an entire tube of green stuff) that I've got on the docket.. Other than that did a quick break to practice sponging on my Deathwing Krazy dragon.I'm waiting on doing my hunters on mournfangs since I got a guy that's supposed to be dropping off the other torsos for me.
>>98570862I haven’t started on my lord regent /Lyrior yet. Can’t fully decide on a mount color, but the leading choice is an orangey-brown.
>>98570862For once, nothing. Feels good to be backlog free
Anyone got their hands on the Fyreslayer battletome?
>>98571212There is no such thing, currently, just the index, which is free. Fyreslayers haven't been updated this edition yet.
>>98569768A whole ass game of screenshots you could've use & you get a slop image instead.
>>98571212Not out yet
>>98570862Lol that freehand symbol.
>>98571213>>98571317Oh. That’s interesting. What other factions are lacking a battletome? I honestly thought they would have been one of the first to get one.
>>98571511Sons of behemat (was revealed a week ago), seraphon, fyreslayers.I'm not sure how up to date you are on the rumours, but it's worth noting that fyreslayers are being renamed/souped with a new wave of more "generic" dwarfs.
>>98571511dread abyss, kurnothi, silent ones, spiderfang.
>>98570636>though which specific flavour is a bit harder to pin down.its long known that the aos sculptors dont just pick a single cultural influence per army like whfb, but instead blend multiple cultures, so this checks out that they would essentially sample platter several cultural references on their design board when drafting a faction. there's also obvious greek influence in fyreslayers too with the crests and helmet design, and the overall hoplite-ness of the troops.
>>98571618>the overall hoplite-ness of the troops.I know this is a shitpost, but what.
>>98571630he thinks being naked is greek
>>98571644Not too far off desu
maybe lumineth should take cues from fyreslayers. Mainly their women.
>>98571630Mohawk helmets being influenced by plume helmet mohawks is a pretty obvious reference.
Would you lick the gunt crease for Gorkamorka's favor?
>>98571808Do you think she takes a bath every now and again? No reason.
Where does GW go from here now that we know Ogor Mawtribes flopped?
>>98571808Behemat's hardest labour>>98571831I'm sure it showers quite intensely in ghyran
>>98571831Shits so yeasty she’s got sourdough starter down there.
>>98571844Well there is a reason they are rebooting the setting with TLW and it isn't because AoS has been a stellar success.
>>98571676not just the crest but also the general shape of the helm with the extended guards over the side of the face, the round dome shape with brow rim, and the upturned flange on the back of the helm appears on some of them too, and of course the iconic hoplon round shields
>>98571859True.
>>98571859NO, THOSE ARE SEA DWARFS FROM VIETNAM!
>>98571857>>98571844samefagfuck off back to /twg/
>>98571844Apparently these guys don't even get FLGS price and sells at GW prices.
>>98571844People liked the idea of Ogor Mawtribes, more so than the actual models themselves.
>>98571887Wide as ocean, deep as ocean
>>98571890NTA but I think a big problem with the new Ogor stuff is they dumbed down the lore big time. The focus isn't on the Ogors themselves culturally, they have been flanderized thoroughly. With the focus/depth now in the named characters, which are frankly quite derivative and a poor replacement for focusing on Ogor society more broadly.
Anyone know how long it takes for GW to transition a hardback book to a soft cover? Missed out on blood of the god eater.
>>98571900What society? Their whole thing is just eating everything. The only one with a semblance of culture are forever running from a winter curse on top of that.
>>98571913>What society? Their whole thing is just eating everythingI guess you might as well flanderize everything for an audience that only understands things through the lens of flanderization.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JfFpR6vNU8cPerhaps now is the time to remind people that these people released their sales numbers. At its heighest point in its launch year (2024) tow contributed about 2% of sales (compared to aos at 8% and 40k at 17%) and has since declined to 0.6%
Very organic posting.
>>98571921Right? Threads been slow all morning and then suddenly “people” want to chat? Okay, pal.
>>98571918Great argument. Destruction factions don't have societies to speak of.
>>98571900They just added three new named characters that didn't exist in prior battletomes, taking the time to flesh them out is not an unreasonable use of space.
>>98571919Remember when Goblin Trader did an interview video where they said AoS has been struggling sales wise since TOW released.Now remember that Goblin Trader is responsible for 2% of ALL global GW sales revenue. They are the largest mainland EU wargaming third party store. This is a single pop and pop operation in a middle sized town in Canada.
>>98571900>The focus isn't on the Ogors themselves culturallyBut it explicitly is, most of the book is dedicated to the shakeup, how this affects the tribes, what has changed, and the new characters.LIKE for a full refresh on the lore and a new kickoff point I think it's perfectly fine for a faction that has been doing dickall in the bg.
>>98571919>>98571944https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2qTXBuEoJQ The video in case anyone wants to hear about how AoS is flopping in Europe, you can also see shots of people playing TOW in their stores (but no AoS)
>>98571900How many times are you gonna do this thing? They weren't flanderized. Did you read the battletome yet or are you still listening to reviews on youtube?
>>98571944>Remember when Goblin TraderI don’t remember random numbers with nothing to back it up. Not to mention numbers from a literal who. He’s generally vague.
>>98571953Brother I literally bought the army set as a pre order because I wanted to love it. But the lore in the book was so bad it turned me off AoS as a whole. I can find my pre order receipt if you don't believe me. I wanted to get into AoS but the writing was so ass it scared me off.
>>98571966>turned me off And yet here you are.
>>98571960>Not to mention numbers from a literal whoBro these guys are 2% of GW global revenue. 1/50 GLOBALLY. Literal who's are Lords of War. These guys are big fish up there with the likes of Wayland Games
>>98571966What really irked you about the lore if I can ask? Were you a big fan of ogors before the change? These are like actual questions not trying to do a gotcha here.
>>98571974>Bro these guys are 2% of GW global revenue. 1/50 GLOBALLY.Great! Now where’s the source on that?
>>98571975>Were you a big fan of ogors before the change?Yes. My main issue was the focus on the very lame characters. I find this an issue of modern Warhammer in general, including 40k. There is too much focus placed on derivative characters, and less so on the faction in an anthropological sense. Old Warhammer would focus on the history, culture and even day to day life of different races and societies. Modern writing focuses on characters to the point where it feels like they are trying to write a narrative rather than a setting, and it comes off like it's written by mediocre no name 20-30 something year old English grads.
>>98571966So no? You didn't read it. Good to know. I believe you about the preorder, I just think you're retarded. Not for disliking the lore, but for the fact that you're basing your opinion on literally nothing.
>>98571983Goblin Trader, they say so in the video I linked itself, they literally say they calculated their revenues being 2% of GW's global revenue. They also said AoS has been struggling since TOW launched. Watch the vid it's all there, and you get to see how a big operation works too (that is only one of there stores they have like 10 physical stores in Spain.
>>98572020Okay great so you don’t have a source, and you know you can tag multiple posts, right?
>>98572007Ya know what, I'll agree with you on this. I'm not a big fan of the focus on characters as opposed to actual world building. (Especially with a multi-realm MASSIVE fuckoff setting like AOS) It does get a bit old having everything be from the perspective of cannon lady and for some reason callis and toll (this is just a problem with GW writing in general, we can't have it fully from the perspective of the non-humans which I will take every opportunity to bitch about) I do think there has been a solid amount of work done to flesh out the new ogor biz and introduce the characters but I can see how annoying it is with Morga being like 1/3rd of the focus of the book.
>>98571831>>98571808>>98571852Anons please
>>98572033Listen anon, I need you to consider for a moment. I am a tall man, I do not get many instances to do this bit, just let me have this.
>>98572028>Morga being like 1/3rd of the focus of the bookExactly, if you find Morga to be lame or uninteresting (like I do), then such a massive chunk of the lore is just a straight miss.
>>98572043That's totally fair, I wouldn't say it's completely bereft of cultural analysis on the ogor's as a whole though. But I do understand not giving a shit about Morga because she is in fact really fucking lame.
>>98572033Sorry. I thought that would be more engaging than discussing with a shit poster again.
>>98571921>>98571925posting patterns here are so strange everything goes quiet every hour or so and then we explode every other hour again. is the whole board like this?
>>98572058This whole board is 10 people. Dead site
>>98572033The question should be how can these giant women be made attractive? Whole third party remolds wearing the same bits?
>>98572084It overall isn’t too difficult, at least on paper.
>>98571919These guys have a tiny store in some bumfuck town in Canada. They offer interesting insight in how GW navigates small store stock availability but that's about it. They have four tables in the basement for play. They have a <500sqft storefront. Retard.
>>98572084If you have the time and creativity you can make anything attractive, I've learned the lengths people will go for things.
>>98572095>>98572103WEW
>>98572098Stop posting these grifting retards Stop giving them views
>>98572132Pop in for a game of HH, head over nextdoor for a cheeky foot massage after. Salute the pride flag on the way out. What's not to like?
>>98572144I wish a lady gargant would let me massage her feet
New Skaven game trailer.https://youtu.be/6aSdTNYK6nE
>>98572144Idk what would smell worse
>>98572164it looks alright for a puzzle game. Kinda reminds me of dishonored.
>>98571944Spain is a third world country, France alone must make 30% or something
>>98572178>2d metroidvania stealth hmm getting third person immersive sim vibes from this
>>98572185getting the rats to eat guards/people in your way used to be a pretty dishonered staple. Along with the upgrades.
don't we have a preview coming up? SoB will be there or four weeks I guess but we usually have one around now don't we?
>>98572230I think it got cancelled. Something like marines codex should have been in there.
>>98572164Looks fun. The environments are really pretty.
>>98572020Console war autism aside, do you have a timestamp for the 2% of gw remark?I haven't found the 2% remark in the video itself, but I also found it hard to believe. They make the claim that they move about 9 million euros. Assuming this video was recorded somewhere in 2025, gw had a revenue of about 565 million that year (excluding another 52.5 in licensing. In euros that works out to about 660 million, of which 2% would be 13.18 million. And again, without keeping in mind the extra 52.5 (~60 in euro) million licensing fees.Now, goblin trader doesn't deal solely in gw. They also sell other wargames (infinity, for examples), as well as board games (e.g. catan) and paints (e.g. vallejo) and a bunch of other shit (mini cases, merch, that sort of stuff). So of that 9 million, not everything is gw either. I'd appreciate it timestamp because some extra context might help clear things up, but as it stands the 2% claim doesn't hold much water.
>>98572195Man that stuff was so fun those were the days…
>>98572182Wargaming is big in spain, it has a very outsized community. Fantasy was also always huge there, so it wouldn't surprise me in the slighest if tow did better then aos there. But I wouldn't overstate this specific chain's influence, the 2% of gw stuff is pretty dubious.
>>98571844It's bizarre. The army set was immediately sold out in the US but it's still available in the EU. I'm actually debating getting a second one.>>98571900I would guess the named characters not being so well received from both a lore and model perspective is a large factor in them "underperforming". Lack of maneaters, leadbelchers and BCR too. Gutbsters are boring but they are the core of the faction and had the oldest kits.
>>98572164
Them's a lot of dead rats.
>>98572337>The army set was immediately sold out in the US but it's still available in the EUIt's a very expensive box for ultimately not a lot of practice. This is a box where you really want a store discount. I was kind of interested but the usual online place where I get my discounted stuff was sold out in 5 min, and no fucking way I'm paying full gw price.The standalone minis have turned out to be damn expensive too. There's no reason the ironguts for example should be basically as expensive as kroxigors when those are much bigger and come with way more options.I guess they already factured in the september price hike for these guys? Because if not, whoo boy.
>>98572414>practicePlastic
>>98572182>Spain is a third world country What
>>98568624In some ways the game HAS become more complex in all the wrong ways with the current objective system, list building, and the newer armies having barrage of rules that do the same thing as everyone else with extra steps. It's 40kfication of the game, where things are in a weird mix of overcomplicated and simple at same time.
>>98572489I wouldn't call the new listbuilding more complex, but I would say that it's very weirdly somehow both restrictive and boringly simple.
I wish AoS would flop just to course correct 5th edition away from 4th but GW would make more money year on year no matter what at this point and the miniatures do still top competitors even if options are increasingly missing. The idea that TOW and AoS compete is comical - they brought back WHFB to run alongside AoS because it doesn't matter, it's just more money. They literally make so much money they can just bring WHFB back because why not. I think we'll see a crash soon because the economy on the whole will but for now we're eating good. Pure hopium. We got chorfs FFS. CHORFS. Did HoH flop? It doesn't even matter man. Who the fuck is buying Chorfs? GW still pumped them out
>>98572164so it's only about skaven?
>>98572007The entire Dawnbringer crusade campaign was filled with literal who’s with like 4 super named characters showing up and being side characters at best
>>98572520Chorfs have cool bull stuff going on. They're also the only ones of the 3 that actually have real dwarfy aesthetics.
>>98572520As long as I get my toys to paint I don’t really care desu
>>98572506The only issue is that it's a hero tax and GW are determined to make a meta game of its optimisationIn the app you can just include units and see what heroes are compatible. That simplified it a lot
Is Age of Sigmar fun? Haven't played a miniatures game in a decadeish, and some of the new models are very cool. Every 40k player I asked told me their game sucked, does AoS?
>>98572520I think it's less "why not" and more to curbstomp possible competition given all of their announcements been always same time as KoW's 3rd and 4th massive release events even when GW had literally nothing to show for it. And GW shown that Chorfs sold pretty good, three of their kits being really high points of sales. CoS did even better than them, but that's besides the point.
>>98572539chorfs are notoriously unpopular and genuinely I think GW are losing money stocking them over something else but we still got themit's like the Japanese bubble economy
>>98572555you push toys and roll dice. you smile when you roll big. it's as good as anything really
>>98572103i'll crash her gate if you feel me
>>98572555It's enjoyable, it's pretty easy to get into, I think the balancing can be pretty whack sometimes and list building is a PITA but otherwise the game itself is enjoyable.
>>98572337I think the cleavers and gutseers are fucking fantastic which is why I'm waiting for the spearhead to come out to get the rest of my army.
>>98572164heart of darkness but with the funny warhammer rats, sounds pretty kino
>>98572555It's decently fun and great for just getting together and throwing some dice. Wouldn't call it best in the market, but arguably best of GW's major games (Bloodbowl is only game that I would call better if I said ALL games) and decently simple to play compared to their other IPs too (Other than, once again, Bloodbowl which is a dead simple game.) And that's in spite of 4th edition being an arguably worst edition so far. Were there any armies catching your eye?
>>98572595>Were there any armies catching your eyeI really think Goblins and the ghosts armys look really cool! I saw the mangler squigs and almost wanted to have a full army of those I bet they're busted!
>>98571966Oh, it's that guy who's larping that he is Polish. He claimed that he refunded his preorder before it got to him, so he had no chance to read the battletome. Feel free to ignore
>>98572359Not a lot once you factor in the rat population
>>98572555It's alright. Cliche at this point but if you wanna try it out Spearhead is your best bet.
>>98572595>Were there any armies catching your eye?I'm most interested in the Maggotkin of Nurgle and the Orruk Warclans. I don't really understand the faction divisions - does everything in one range go together, or everything in the grand alliance?
>>98572660Everything in 1 range (So Maggotkin with Maggotkin). Chaos as a whole isn't an army by itself.
>>98572660We haven't had Grand Alliances in years, we don't even have the old ally rules that we used to have. The closest thing to both is a system called "Regiments of Renown" which are essentially mercenaries/dogs of war equivalent.
>>98572164I was ready to shit on this but it does look pretty fun actually. Words can’t describe how badly I need a 40k/AoS game in the same vein as Vermintide or even Battlefield though.
>>98572520>>98572559I honestly never would have guessed Chorfs were unpopular. They’re pretty cool even on the surface level and reception everywhere seems to be positive toward them, but I know they’re still lesser known overall too so maybe that has something to do with it.
>>98572711I like them, personally. Only complaint is the mandatory women that need conversion or different bits purchased separately to be rid of.
>>98572711HoH maybe but Chorfs historically are a squat situation
>>98572711Because they are not unpopular. There was a guy in these threads who kept spamming about how they are until a sales report from GW came out and shown he's full of shit.
LGS still has some old Seraphon spearheads laying around. I'm thinking of getting one, but is it worth to double dip? Or more precisely are two carnosaurs useful, because that's where most of the value is.
>>98572796It also builds a skink hero on a not!spinosaur
>>98572711HoH are cool but their rules are quite an issue. They look simple enough to have quite the mass painting appeal, the lore is actually really cool and surprisingly in depth for a brand new faction, they just need a little more love and time in the rules and unit choice department. They’re probably my #1 choice for starting a chaos army if I ever did, with only StD being their closest competitor during to the simplicity of their rules.
>>98572660Range per range. Grand alliance mostly matters for stuff like which "allies" you can take. Used to be the case that every grand alliance could be played as a single army back in the day, but that's almost a decade ago at this point.Warclans are a bit of a special case though, since it's basically two armies that share a tome; ironjawz (armour dudes) and kruleboyz (lanky dudes). You can run them together, but in a special 'army of renown'. Most people tend to focus on 1 half.
>>98572820oh yeah, you're rightlove those little niggas
>>98572164So it really is Mark of the Ninja: Rodent Edition. Not a bad thing to use as a basis, all in all.
>>98572711They've historically been quite unpopular yeah, also find it strange because I find them really cool and one of gw's more original takes on a faction. Maybe that's actually part of the reason why they weren't too popular back in the day? They didn't fit as neatly into standard fantasy tropes/expectations as many of the other factions. Either way they seem to have had a bit of a resurgence in the last few years, perhaps helped by a really well received total war dlc. Good for them.
>>98572796My lgs has this one too and Im kinda tempted by the lizard boys. Sell me on it /aosg/
>>98572729You own no models
>>98573278They are nice models. If you can buy Spearhead magazine where you live, check if you can buy issues with lizards, they come in issue 15-21 and you will get the content of the box.
>>98572796>>98573278I own it. Its not a crazy amount of plastic and the kroxigors are surprisingly annoying to build. They are fun and nice to paint. Double dipping is perfectly fine, heck the big boi can even be built as a trog and foot saurus if you want, krox and saurus also have slightly different variants to. Kinda simple in terms of the spearhead gamemode nothing crazy. The magazines are launching now and the seraphon are the first army after the ratards and gold bois. The real cute secret with them is If you buy 2 of the first caransaur mag and 1 of the 2nd you can get a trog and carnisaur due to how the sprue works out.
>>98573278It has the refreshed Saurus and Kroxigor kits which are fantastic sculpts. Lizards are really fun and somewhat easy to paint because they lend themselves well to speedpaints and drybrushing if you're into that. >>98573404>kroxigors are surprisingly annoying to buildLet me guess, you also had trouble sticking their heads into the bodies?
>>98573440Nta but yeah I've heard some complaints from the local seraphon guys about this specific kit
>>98572660Orruk warclans has a further division inside it between Kruleboyz and Ironjawz. There’s a way to play both but it’s not that good last I heard. Better to just focus into one or the other
>>98571900>flanderizedthat's not what the word means anon, i would say the ogre book actually did the exact opposite, because ogres thanks to total war and memes are just the big hungry guys who like to wear silly hats and do mercenary stuff with black powder in public consciousness, the AOS ogres have dragged them to being focused entirely on them being brutish nomads with as much de-emphasis of their comedic elements as possible. i expect them to return, the aos lore as of recent has often been written to only focus on what's playable, which sucks because it means they're anti-black powder, until gw releases a new leadbelcher kit in 2028 at which point it will be a big thing again
>>98573566Seems like leadbelchers and gunpowder in general will be tied to the maneaters going forward. Grell is basically just a leadbelcher anyway.That'll leave us with 4 main subthemes within the ogre tome: gutbusters, bcr, mawseekers, maneaters.
>>98572555pretty fun. the current edition has a couple annoyances and the list building is pretty shallow but on the table it plays fast and smooth and punchy. its 100x more fun than 40k, i'd rather play sigmar any day of the week than 40k. also helps that the models and army designs are a lot more interesting and creative than 40k too, only a couple xenos factions get close to aos in terms of creativity and interesting sculpts. it also has pretty much the only small game format from GW that actually works and is fun to play with spearhead.
>>98572559>>98572711chorfs being unpopular is pure fanfiction
Looking for some thoughts, advice etc. I haven't collected/played/painted in 3/4 years now. I wanna get back into things, but I'm not sure on what faction to collect and pick. 40k is not for me anymore, its just Marine wank to hell. AoS with all its faults, has been held up by the fact that Stormcast have largely failed and no one cares for them which is a good thing.But anyway I'm most liking: Skaven, seems very cool. Lots of variation but it all works together. Monsters, chaff, machines, characters, big shit. Seems hordey though, and might be hard to do at scale.Chaos Dwarfs, always loved them from Warhammer, they seem good here too. Not amazing but I just love the concept so much that I'm happy to make it work. Plus they seem relatively elite too. Scope for growth too, there's bound to be a second wave with cool stuff. Ogres my lord. The models are fantastic. And they are suitably elite to make painting and collecting them a nice touch. Not very keen on their lore that much, its not bad, but its not very deep unfortunately. Wish they still had gunpowder units too. I love the addition of butchers, just wish it was not at the cost of gunpowder.
>>98573662Honestly I didn't expect helsmiths to do all that well. Even places that are usually super mega positive about everything gw puts out were a lot more mixed than usual, bit of a lukewarm reception. But I guess it's one of those cases where an army is just very polarizing, you either love them or hate them. They sold out basically immediately on the webstore, fucking centaurs are still unavailable in the us. They're not my cup of tea though I don't totally hate them either. Maybe if they do more with the hashutaar cult I might jump in with a spearhead or something, I did like those guys.Anyway pleasantly surprised that they seem to have done well.>>98573685All else being equal skaven will probably be the cheapest to get into since they were a launch faction. Also got a massive wave in general so there's tons of options. Also have a pestilens update still in the near future that's been rumoured by reliable leakers. Oh, there's also currently a MTO running if you're into some retro stuff.As for ogre gunpowder, it's worth noting that the same rumourmonger who leaked the entire release also said more maneater units would be coming next edition. Given that the new maneater hero we got is all about gunpowder, there's a good chance one of those new units will be the spiritual succesor to leadbelchers. Just something to keep in mind.
>>98573745See that's frusrtating as well. Skaven have room for growth.Ogres have room for growth.Chorfs have room for growth. They all seem cool and worth investing in.
>>98573761What's you play/collect back in the day? What kind of army generally interests you more? Skaven are obviously more hordey and ogres are the second most elite army in the game.
>>98573662anons and repeating baseless claims as if they were fact? never seen that before
>>98573745I think you're right on the money with them being polarizing. I love them, though I'm polarized within the range itself. I'd probably be miserable if I was playing any way other than casually given I despise the hob slaves and want to max out on bull engines
>>98573797I feel the same way. I think all the characters were really well done, both centaur variants are great, I even like the taurus statue which many don't seem to. But other parts of the range I don't really care for. I hate all varieties of hobgrots, I don't like the artillery, the bullbot is alright, the flamethrower ranged guys are alright but I HATE the """blunderbuss"""" design they went with.The normal infernal cohort though...Man I want to like them, and I actually do really like their bodies. The sashes work well, and I like the scalemail. But man I do not like the fucking pokeball they slapped on all the weapons, I don't like the hats either. Femchorfs I'm not opposed to in theory but I don't like the execution. I've said it before but if you're going to do dwarfs without beards you have to give them braids instead. Speaking of beards, I think they should've been bigger in general. The smaller tighter ones are probably closer to what assyrian styles beards would've actually looked like, but I prefer the big bushy classic look.
>>98572359Just a normal day in Skaven-cracy. At the end of the day the number of births makes line go up.
>>98573770Lots of stuff in 40k but lost interest. Ogres and Skaven, but before their recent updates. So I'd want a new take on them anyway.
>>98573847>AssyrianThey’re general Mesopotamia though aren’t they
>>98572164I really hope this game is actually good.
>>98574023The stereotypical "look" that we mostly associate with the region in antiquity is the neo-assyrian and neo-babylonian one. Probably because that's what we're in the west culturally more knowledgeable about because of interactions between those empires and the israelites in the bible. Classic sumerian for example is pretty different in terms of aesthetics and stuff, which is not surprise since it's like two thousand years earlier.I don't know enough about the two to say whether or not they're more assyrian or babylonian (and neither does gw in all likelihood), I just default to [neo-]assyrian because it's easier to type lol. Mesopotamian is also probably a bit too broad, covers a timespan of almost 4000 years if we start from uruk to the achaemenid conquest. Chorf aesthetics seem pretty clearly based on the later periods.
>>98573745internet grumbling doesnt equal loss of sales, turns out.
>>98572555All warhammer games are pretty mediocre in terms of rules, where the models and their 'vibes' are what make it actually fun. If your local store has unpainted terrain and shit vibes, no game will be fun. But AOS is the most fun warhammer game in terms of pickup and play. If you can have a dedicated group of players, Necromunda or Blood Bowl are more fun. But that's a big 'if'.
>>98573847I dont really have much complaints with the weapons but I do agree that the soul gems would have been better if they just fully commited and wreathed them with flames, the only reason why I can imagine why they DIDNT do that, is because its probably flimsy and a pain in the ass to sculpt, and because fyreslayers kinda already have the braizer design cooked into their axes.
>>98571878>>98571844The prices are extraordinarily bad there.
>>98574239the fact that they feel they have to constantly justify their pricing in their videos is pretty telling.
>>98574094Time and again the canuck cuck claimed otherwise, and yet here we are. Still playing the WORLD'S MOST POPULAR FANTASY WARGAME (and it's not even close!)
>>98574097>If your local store has unpainted terrain and shit vibesI deal with the shitty terrain if I can play a game where I know I'm not gonna get my cock stomped in six ways from sunday.It's been a mixed bag on that.
>>98574475LolWe get the same, the places with reasonable pricing always sell out, the ones who sell close to GW price always have stock for years.Am trying to negotiate down an Extremis box with one of my LGS
>>98574508What’s happening there
>>9857503410,000 volts of pure electricity
>>98574646Seriously, a lot of stores don't seem to fully understand what competing with online marketplaces entails. The best ways to survive as a business are to either be the cheapest, the highest quality, the best value for money, or the most convenient. If you're selling the same exact product as all your competition, you're all going to have the same quality goods, and value for money becomes the same thing as cheapest. And since you're selling a luxury good, there is literally no way you can compete with the internet in terms of convenience, so your only real choice is to sell for below what the online average is, which is GW's price in this case. Sure you can make up for some of that with having a good community or atmosphere or whatever, but it only works up to a certain point.
>>98575113But I could charge sticker price with no discount, treat non-TCG players like dogshit, AND be a dick in general...? ...How could I miss my rent payment?!
>>98575156I mean, it's ultimately his business, so he can do whatever he wants. But just because there's nothing preventing you from sticking a fork in an electric outlet as an adult, that doesn't mean you're not a complete retard if you do.
>>98575064>>98575034In his pants.
>>98571528> but it's worth noting that fyreslayers are being renamed/souped with a new wave of more "generic" dwarfs.As in their lore and stuff is getting overhauled/retconned? Or some kind of aesthetic change?>>98571529Didn’t know some of these counted honestly.
>>98575298They're just doing the Orruk Warclans shit where multiple factions share 1 book.Midget Warclans featuring Ironjawzslayers
>>98575345I doubt it, the fluff is about reunification
>>98574094I don't doubt HoH sells well but stock issues don't reflect it either way. Half of every range is out of stock nowadays. GW could've made a small number that sold out or an excessive amount that demand somehow exceeded. Which did they make? Realistically, GW keeps things to a minimum because they have two warehouses in England and a half a billion profit to maintain. Idk man you're just being silly.
>>98573662Chaos Dwarfs Were unpopular. It wasn't sensible to release HoH but GW aren't risk averse today because they are guaranteed a profit. Are you going to argue Votann's success means Squats were always beloved? AoS didn't get Chorfs for over a decade for a reason, anon. In a chain about GW having so much success they can do whatever they want you've decided to laser focus on a claim you don't understand.
Is kragnos still the worst AoS model?
>>98574903I'd dig a cool crocodile monster for obr
>>98575471We're talking about now retard.
>>98575534You might be kinda dumb Anon
>>98575298We don't know exactly how the lore will work, but based on the latest rumours it's basically a case of dispossessed leaving the cities of sigmar to reclaim their lost holds with the aid of fyreslayers. The new army will be heavily based on the different ancestor gods. So fyreslayers will still do their thing with ur gold and resurrecting grimnir etc, but they will be one part of the army, the 'grimnir wing' so to speak. Fighting alongside, for example, the 'grungni wing' which is all the engineer shit. At least that's the speculation based in current rumours. But fyreslayers will keep existing as a subfaction within this larger new dwarf army for sure.
>newfags oblivious to duardin reunification having been teased in every tome since 2e and gotrek exists
will kurnothi be at Nova?
>>98575552I know it's supposed to be a harvester in the artwork, but it never really read as crocodilian to me>>98575581We don't even know if there will be a preview at nova at all. But if there is, probably no kurnothi.
>>98572164Mark of the Ninja: Rat Edition. I really liked Mark of the Ninja, so I'll be watching this.
>>98575509It never was the worst model.
>>98575581I feel like Kurnothi are going to be in a weird place where because Kurnoth Hunters and Belthanos exist you'll have your main troops look nothing like the subfactions elite or main HQ
>>98572164Not my thing but it's probably a prescient move to use Skaven get TWW/Vermintide fans (who have significant populations of Skavensexual furries) on board AoS, by using their favorite faction and few if any AoS exclusive elements. Getting them to grudgingly admit they like something AoS related is the first step to getting them to not be whiny babies all the time.Of course, whether an infusion of vidya secondary furries is a good thing for the game is a much more debatable topic.
>>98575702Heralds warscroll conversion + new infantry unit + new hero fit but Gitmob got more so I would expect as much
>>98575780Also helps that skaven are one of GW's more unique and recognizable creations, on top of their existing vidya popularity.
>>98575581I'm hopeful we get proper dwarves that aren't evil; failing that I'm starting Helsmiths this year.

How do yall go about deciding on a color scheme for a new army? I just search for painted armies on google and see what I like and go from there
>>98575509Remember the old cope of >It doesn't fit any Destruction army so it fits *every* Destruction army!
>>98575894Cool art, where's it from? Neither filename nor google image search are of much help.
>>98576346I just look up flowers and whatever fits best is what I apply.
>>98576346Random art inspiration. If I have something on the backlog and see a colour combo I like I'll just make a note of it.Moonclan with green hoods and earthy robes seems neat! I saw a mushroom like that blood producing one that was white with amber liquid, so I'll incorporate those colours too like heroes having yellow hoods. If I'm stumped I'll use this with a prevailing colour. Lock down what I prefer and see what comes up https://colormind.io/I'm not an autistic coherencyfag though, I'll paint a spearhead in one scheme and maybe work one a regiment in another. I'll have armies that are a little hodgepodge but whatever, I mostly play spearhead or escalation league PtG kinda games

>>98576565They won't squat anything according to leaks
>>98576565fuuu.... Okay, thanks anon.
>>98575462>stock constantly sold out>company report says they're selling very well>noooooo they're not actually selling well it must be one of my headcanon excuses noooooooooidk man you're just being silly
>>98576542yes, but NH are pretty hard to paint if you don't have an airbrush.
>>98576586I actually have an airbrush. It's one of those kind of shitty ones with a rechargeable compressors but it's done well for Gaslands.
>>98572555Depends on your expectations and experiences.Modern aos to me is more like a really big board game or a skirmish game with expanded unit size and no alternating activations.It doesn't really focus on making armies that fit the classic fantasy mold, even for things like cities of sigmar, ossiarch boner reapers or helsmiths you won't see a mixed arms list have much benefit.The game is also missing morale or a psychological aspect, which is a core tenant of a wargame for me.So aos is pretty unique, but I sincerely believe spearhead accomplishes everything the bigger game does better in every way but scale of battle. I would even argue that spearhead provides more choice in list building because you'll get 3 or 4 choices of armies while most books really only push you in one direction with an illusion of choice.There are better wargames and better skirmish games out there, but aos is unique and the models are usually it's biggest selling point. I would not advise buying into this game for its rules even if you love everything about it currently. Gw is factually changing armies chaotically from the ground up every 3 years and not in a good way, and even making models illegal for matched play within the scope of 5 years, for their poster boy faction even.
>>98576579I don't doubt they're selling well, I'm just saying their current stock status doesn't mean anything without more info
>>98576453kek my brain didn't register the G and I just googled jimbo artthanks anon
>>98576578Anon, that guy is shitposting. Don't take him seriously.Same rumourmongers who have talked about the changes in 5th edition in the first place confirmed no factions or models are getting deleted. Plus, even if there were plans for that, nighthaunt is just an army of ghosts. Pretty classic fantasy stuff. Nothing to fear on that front.Anyway, I've heard both nighthaunt spearheads are pretty good.
>Alchemite Warforger gone from the webstore alongside Bruh are we getting another Spearhead already
>>98576594>no alternating activations.This is less of an issue because the game already has enough to keep both people at a table on each others toes no matter whose round it is, and it doesnt have the gotchyas that people claim 40k has.
>>98575509What’s so bad about it
>>98576534Even being generous and saying that’s true, that post clearly says “is”, meaning currently.
>>98576632That'd be like cos spearhead number, what, five? Seems excessive. Maybe a reboxing of some sort?
>>98576609> more info>official company report directly states in no uncertain terms that they are selling very wellthe fuck more could you possibly need? that is ironclad evidence of their popularity
>>98576734Come on anon, all he's trying to say is that stock doesn't mean much one way or the other.
Any Anon have a PDF of the Hedonite 4th edition battletome?
>>98576734they could have produced 50 or 50,000 units. which one is it? how do you know that?
>>98568925Duardin news yet?
>>98570551Because gw , for some inexplicable reason, wants aos to stay bland. White Dwarf should run a feature showing off player-made Cities of Sigmar and chaos factioms and fireslayer holds.
>>98576976Check in 4 months
>>98568925Kharadron overlords should have mercanary units. I’m talking ogors on jetpacks and humans in the best armour their employers can afford. Because it’s expensive to replace and retrain their employees
>>98576758right but we dont just have out of stock, we also have the strategic report>>98576937gw has never released that data for anything they do and you damn well know that. so unless YOU have evidence otherwise, it is reasonable to assume that they made a standard typical amount for an army release, same as any other army for any other game.
>>98576976That one rumour engine with the weird rocky terrain is supposedly part of some flying magic boat thing (throne of power?)There's supposed to be one new fyreslayer unit that's a character with a big droth. Kind of like jorvan kreel I guess but obviously with a way bigger pet.Uhhh I think there was something about how their heavy infantry will be tied to valaya.There was also a new guy on tga describing some of the new stuff but I don't think he's been corroborated by the major leakers. He was saying some stuff about scouts and pistols or some shit.But yeah lately rumour engines seem to have a very quick turnover rate so we're probably getting close to a reveal show. Late september if I had to guess.
>>98577150do we know if the current droth kit is sticking around?
>>98577156>do we know if the current droth kit is sticking around?Yes. only things rumored to be leaving are Vulkites and some of the older foot heroes.
>>98577156I think so yeah. It's vulkites that are going, as well as 3 heroes (silver tower guy, no mustache guy, and I think the grimwrath). Idk what'll happen to their spells and terrain

>>98576095It is just kind of fucked how non-humans were really just quietly purged from Cities when the 'diversity' used to be the faction's biggest selling point
>>98577717I saw it coming with 3rd. They didn't just release only Humans, they decoupled natural synergies across races be it artefacts targeting friendly or the Hurricanum targeting CoS. The copium of >they said Ironweld is a Duardin lead institution ran out when the Cogfort dropped.
>>98577704You know? Kinda cool
>>98577729The racial-restrictions really undermined the theme for me>Look at all these different races working together>No, the Dwarf Lord CANNOT buff the humans, he is ONLY allowed to buff his fellow Dwarfs, the races must NOT MIX
>>98577355That would be extremely fitting and accurate given their inspiration
>>98577592I think sons of behemat are kind of so-so as a faction concept but I have to admit all the lore blurbs I've heard over the years have all been incredibly soulful.
>>98577253>>98577271>>98577338>cunnyGODS have finally found their faction
>>98577790
>>98577484>>98577704Im listening…
>>98577928Why are you listening to both? You want a pedo walrus?
>>98577964That just sounds like a politician
>>98577774For me it's the one that talked about how they don't like fighting chaos. Not because they're intimidated but because they tend to wear a lot of spikes and it hurts to stamp on them
>>98577729I like how GW says that at the heart of every Cogfort is a dwarf engineer in charge... but there not even one dwarf model on the damn thing and it's OOPS ALL HUMANS. But yeah, I saw it and was already unhappy with 3rd doing the humans and non-human segregation where the only effort in this regard was on human side.
>>98577592>Give themselves magical chastity beltsGargant-chan, my pure beloved...
>>98578073You're forgetting the main point of that story. Making the "Sole Wars" pun
Would Daemons + Pestigors be viable enough? I think my lgs plays 1.5k so about 700pts each?Foulhoof and 40-60 Pestigors
>>98578395>40-60 pestigorsI kneel
>>98578395>viable enough?Sure, not a very high bar
>>98578414As long as I'm not throwing the game or making things unpleasant for my opponent. >>98578413I got 20 from Darkwater splits when it was new for cheap enough so I just picked up 4 regular boxes over time. I just like beastmen ;(
Rapeanon vindicated?
>>98577317Someone post the Spiderfang Grots White dwarf article now
where all my shroom bros at
>>98578619In the Underworlds(tm)
Holy shit the sphiranx is fucking huge man what the fuck
>>98578619>>98578537Uh oh…
>>98578619>love troggoths>do not care for the thrugg model at allHow big is the dude? Can you get away with proxying a converted dankhold? I think I heard an anon say minicompare wasn't very accurate in this case once, but idk
>>98579219>Can you get away with proxying a converted dankhold?He's way bigger than a Dankhold
Any anons know dickall about chorfs? I'm pickin' up a lot like this for 225 bucks2 centaurs1 big bull2 vandals1 razer1 artillery2 cohort2 daemonsmith1 war despot dominator engine
>>98579219He's weirdly hunched over, but he's honestly similar in size to Dankhold if you like... Lankified one and gave it scoliosis. He fits across the entire 130 base quite well.
>>98579296The Urak Taar and Dominator engine MSRP are already over $230. The rest is free*. Good fucking deal overall. Especially if you like the models. Might be a minute before they get better rules, though. Just remember, rules are temporary and models are forever.
>>98579319Fuck I keep winding up with more armys because of deals like this AHHHHHHHHHH.But yeah I think they're cool, no clue how the army plays but worst case scenario it's a moderately expensive hobby project. The big bull is cool
>>98579296Seems like a very nice deal value-wise anon
I had a weird idea : what if AoS was a game-within-game for 40k ? Imagine that the Imperium design and massively sell AoS as a propaganda tool for human teenagers and kids : Sigmar is meant to be an alternate version of the Emperor and Stormcast are intended to represent Space Marines with the whole "forged in lightning" thing being a way to depict gene modification in a way that superstitious children can understand; the game also teach them to hate Xenos (Orruks, Aeldari...) and of course Chaos
>>98579508we urgently need to find a way to gatekeep secondaries and tertiaries like you
>>98579508There was a piece of fanart like that.
>>98579508why would the imperium design and sell a game filled with DEI ?
>>98579542do you know where it can be found ?or better can you post it ?
>>98579296I swear people are selling their AoS armies for pennies recently, I managed to nab a real good deal on an Ironjawz army new in box a week agoI don't know if its people trying to cash out before Last World or something or I'm just only noticing now second hand stuff goes for way cheaper than 40k
>>98579612I'm splitting it with some guy, he's getting less of a half than me but we're paying the same lel. In this case, I think this guy wants to buy more into his Necron army and this is another bit in the pile of shame.
>>98579624Lucky find. My younger brother is collecting helsmiths. I wonder if I can get some dirt cheap saurus.
>>98579624Bro. 225 for the whole lot new in box? Are you showing up to the meetup with a fucking gun?
>>98579644I got a riot shield but that would be silly, nah folks in my local community just drop shit like this constantly if you shmooze a bit.
>>98579651Crazy. Best deal I think I've gotten was 2 LRL Vanguards for $90 each. Too late I learned that it was a scam people were pulling on Ebay where they'd act as a middleman ordering your product from a store, shipped to you but paid with their accounts, then do a chargeback to the store.
>>98579667I feel like I'm always talkin' about the bullshit deals I find here, one of these days I should open a little /aosg/ shop for anons to help clear out my closet and let you nerds get some shit for a decent price.
>>98579667>Too late I learned that it was a scam people were pulling on Ebay where they'd act as a middleman ordering your product from a store, shipped to you but paid with their accounts, then do a chargeback to the store.Ah yeah, that's been a classic scammer tactic for decades. Luckily models aren't software that can be disabled after the chargeback goes through.
so with all this bullshit, how the fuck do helsmiths actually play...?
>>98579644I think some people just need to sell their armies, the Ironjaws I got for 400 were2 ironjawz Spearheads 1 Wrekkamob battleforceShaman, Big Boss and WarchanterAn extra big pigAnd a MawcrushaI'm about halfway through building it going to see if I can book a week off work soon and see how much I can paint in some mad paint fumed frenzy just like Gork would have wanted
>>98579644>>98579624We showing off? I got this pile for 140. Its a Saurus Warriors 2 things of raptadons and a slann. A Lord-Veritant and unit of Liberators. And a Morghast Harbingers. All NoS. Along with a bunch of bits like pox walkers and an ogre mammoth. So basically that one saurus box and a bunch of random shit. Really happy with it since im a seraphon dude. Not sure what to do with the other units.
>>98577253wtf you guys told me ushoran wasn't like other nobles
>>98579513Hey now, not all of us are like that…>>98579681I would be one of your first customers :)
Does anything bad happen to a vampire when they drink chaos tainted blood? Like would they get a bad stomach ache if they feasted on a blight king?
>>98579940>Strongest vampire
>>98577253Why is this short passage from a 15 year old book suddenly making the rounds?
>>98579857He got better, that was the old ush. Once he became a Mortarch he changed his ways.
>>98575836is this supposed to be a downgrade? this would be abject kino
>>98577774Whoever is writing the SoB lore is among GW's best tbqh
>>98577717>>98577746It's genuinely really disappointing to me. I like the new cities models for the most part (the cannon is my favourite artillery piece GW has done) but it's just extremely annoying when they make fluff that the models completely contradict. It feels like they listened too much to complaints about AOS not having a 'human' faction and got lost in the sauce. There should be literally no reason a dawnbringer crusade isn't a mixed array of all races. Instead it's 'humans and their pet ogres/gargants'. You can have a giant human, but not a short human. Retarded.
>>98579857He’s not. He likes early teens too.
>>98580188>>98577774any examples or stuff that stands out to you in particular?
>>98580226I like the part where they’re giants :)
>>98580226Backstory for the guy who found some Lumineth crystals that doubled his IQ ends with a remark that many gargants try to copy him, but random glowing rocks they strap to themselves usually just make them sick
New>>98580676 >>98580676 >>98580676
>>98577964Meant for >>98577685 lol
>>98580171Not at all, I think the design is great.
>>98576534Sounds like a convenient liberal/commie myth
