The orcs & goblins battle march box is apparently online only, unlike all the others.
>>98586724Stop doing these weird AI recolours, they look like shit>TQKhuresh seem like an interesting army if anyone ever bothered to develop them
>>98586741Yeah, that seems to be the case which is weird since it's probably a better box than the original O&G battalion box
>>98586744Really? I thought this was the best one by far and looks pretty good. I will take your feedback into mind. Just trying to keep it fresh.
>>98586753In terms of what units are included it's definitely better, but with the BM box prices I'm not so sure anymore. And if you don't get a store discount for this one, I'd skip it for sure. I was actually planning on getting one because it happens to slot into my current project pretty well, but looks like a pass now.
>>98586764Compared to the other ones, it seems to suffer less from detail loss than the previous one, I think it mostly the skin on Sigmar that basically comes across as rendered differently from the orc skin
>>98586790Yeah I get what you mean, I understand your apprehension at AI. I dislike it myself mostly, I just wanted to shake things up. I need to look for more sources of Fantasy art, I don't want things to get stale.
>>98586683Why not? It's a good model.
How are the momminiatures stls for orcs and dwarfs? I like the way they look but I’m curious about ease of printing them.>>98586724I need magnetization advice anons.What sizes? What strength grades. Should it be centered under the base? All of it. Please.
>>985868335x2mm N52 centered. Only one needed for infantry and cavalry, 2 magnets for metal minis.For big dragons a couple of 10x2 or 8x2mm N52.Those will allow you to have minis stuck to steel upside down with zero chance of moving even if you shake them.Gluing the 5x2 ones with cyanoacrylate is usually fine but crowning the biggest ones with hot glue is usually the best option. I recommend magnetized or steel rubber sheets as movement trays, they're very cheap and very convenient.
>>98586744This just seems like a variant on lizardmenWhich I'm fine with, but like lets not pretend its much more than that
>>98586724Stop it with the bot shit
>>98586724>Sloppa again.Anon, just stop it and post raw Warhammer art
>>98587005Is this also slop
>>98586724>(ex: Hobgoblin Khanate)I will genuinely never understand the tww brainworm behind counting them even remotely as an army when ALL independent greenskins, be it normal orcs, normal goblins, savage orcs, savage goblins, goth orcs and goth goblins, are bundled into one army.
>>98586983>n52That sounds pretty strong.Like I don’t want minis attracted to each other. Just the bases and the movement trays.I especially don’t want minis repelling.Can I see a timestamp with your magnetized bases so I know you’re being honest? And maybe magnet box with n52 labeling?I can check back tonight if you aren’t able to post right now.I just have a sudden gut feeling that something isn’t right and want confirmation if that makes sense.
>>98587030Do you want to see a picture of my asshole too? How about you go fuck yourself.
>Finally cave and get Cathay (through the starter set)>Rumours of Kislev soon start again.God fucking damn it.
>>98587038Neither interest me. I’m just waiting for some decent narrative rules.
Got me some knights. Next to decide what chapter to paint them as
>>98587051>chapter Make them ultramarines or make your own.
>>98587051Ultramarines.
>>98587023Yeah this is an auxillery of chorfs, thats it
>>98587063>>98587068I know right, what's next? He's gonna have his knights say "For the emperor!" rofl???
>>98587051Reiksguard or Black Guard of Morr
>>98587038Kislev isn't going to be for a while yet, at minimum 12 months
>>98587172It will happen when the weather coldsThat's when the bear will leave the cave
>>98587032I don’t want to see pics of your asshole.I just had a feeling something was off and wanted verification.I’m sorry if I came across as rude.
Update on the Slayer Host doomseeker auto-win butt-fuckery: They've started running their mandatory unit of slayers in a conga line specifically to keep them as safe as possible. Linehammer never went away, gentlemen.
>>98587196>>98587032NTA but I wouldn’t mind seeing your hole with a centerpiece mini in/on it.
>98586724>TQInstead of Dogs of War(i.e. Tilea & misc.), I want it reimagined as Southern Realms; equally representing Estalia & Tilea, and even giving some attention for the Border Princes.
>>98587242>equally representing Estaliafuck them, they have nothing to offer
>>98587242For OP >>98586724
>>98587245I want to see some swarthy minis that can raw dog the women of the empire.
How to beat Tzeentch?Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh is one thing, but how can you beat what you can't understand?
>>98587253already covered by tileansagain, estalia has nothing to offer
>>98587261tzeentch is impossible to understand not because he doesn't want to be understood, but because he wants to see you fail at understanding it, just beat that egomaniac to death without even trying to understand it
>>98587242nah, leave Borderlands Alone, that's where you do your dudez
>>98587245They have caballeros, pistoleros and conquistadors.Whatever thematic unit their imagination can concoct, can be included. For instance, the Knights of the Blazing Sun were created after the liberation of Estalia, and based on the worship of Myrmidia; how about giving Estalia their own Knights of the Sun, eh?
>>98587242Dogs of war is a cooler name than southern realms.
>>98587280>They have [stuff that's already in the game or was already provided by tileans]Nothing. To. Offer.
>>98587242>some attention for the Border Princes.That's what Renegade Crown was meant to be
>>98587291If think you mean "stuff that Cavatore previously stole from Estalia for Tilea".
>>98586833>magnetization advice5x2mm anything was way too strong in my tests. I figured I'm looking for something that will hold the model in place when tilted on its movement tray, held upside down, or just going over small bumps in my car - but won't snap when I (or a friend using my army) try to remove it from its tray as a casualty. After doing a load of tests on various infantry models, I settled on 5x1 N42. 5x2 N35 was too strong and felt like I could snap models if I removed them roughly, 5x1 N35 didn't provide a secure enough hold in my tilt and bump tests. 5x1 N42 held them in place reasonably well and didn't feel like I was having to overcome excessive force to pull them off the tray, which is extra important to me as I use mostly resin prints. As for how/where to stick them, I made my own square base set in blender but there are loads of STLs available. I tend to do in the centre of 20mm and 25mm, and then my cav / 40mm and larger bases have a symmetrical arrangement of holes for both 1mm and 2mm magnets so I can combine them up to the power that's needed to hold the model in place. As for what to stick them to, I use mild steel 10mm discs. Cheaper than the magnets, and safer too. Then I magnetise the underside of the tray and use a plastic tub with rubber steel sheeting in it to transport the trays.For infantry slottabases, 5mm magnets don't fit anywhere, so I use 3x2mm N42 anywhere on the base, and a movement tray with rubber steel sheeting so it doesn't matter where the magnet is. To ensure the polarity of all my magnets is uniform across all my bases and trays, I made and printed a large cylinder with a + on one end and a - on the other, with a magnet in each end of the cylinder. I use it to seat the magnets into the bases perfectly every time. Massively helpful.
>>98587253sorry, they're busy with the amazons over in lustria.
>>98587321well im sure the Amazons will just shoot them with their las guns
>>98587063>>98587068>anons find out that space marines are loosely based on knightly orders
>>98587301Semantics, the sad truth is that estalia cannot be made without somehow lessening the scope of other surrounding things, otherwise this is the best you could give it.>conquistadors and morion helmets as an exclusive aesthetic flair, reclaimed from tilea.>focus on a heavy handed estalian inquisition with an emphasis on a more oppressive church of the gods of law, reduced by comparison in the empire.>big focus on knights, but specialised: where the empire ones are small circles of well equipped knights, and the bretonnian ones are numerous but more individualistic and blue blooded, the estalian ones are numerous, simpler but with strong communal identities.funny things would be giving them stuff that wouldn't fly in the empire, for example having sanctified monsters under the church (vampire conquistador, werewolves as hounds for inquisitors, demonhosts, that kind of madness that would be more at home in the imperium than the empire)
>>98586833>magnetization adviceSure, I'll throw what I do on here too.Buy a shitload of 1/4" washers and glue them to the bottom of the base. Then I use 3x2 to bring them like, the tiniest bit higher than flush so they're easier to pull off the metal by the base. I use 3 or 4 per 25mm, 30mm, and cav, 8 for anything else.
>>98586996Snakemen in the fan-lore are presented as a sort of Chaos Lizardman. They desecrate Old One technology and incorporate it into their own nefarious designs. They occupy a very neat aesthetic between South East Asia and Hinduism. I'm not going to try and "sell" you on why they should be in the game, but I have no issue with them and openly admire the effort that has been put into the Naga.
>>98587358Naga are cool as fuck, but their aesthetics are based on South East Asia, Thailand/Cambodja not indian hinduismMagic the Gathering used the idea in Khans of Tarkhir with the Sultai
>>98587358The fan project definitely goes way too far on certain sci fi elements.
>>98587370>indian hinduismThe Vimanaga is named after the Vimana, something from Hinduism.But I'd concede to the point if you press it, this is not a hill I'm even interested in fighting on, since I do agree that the Naga Queens have an impeccable aesthetic, especially since the creators of the fan project are, mostly, Southeast Asian.

>>98586724>>98587005holy fuck, whfb used to be so fucking metal
The woodelves battlemarch box seems like a good deal so what's the catch?
>>98587441There was no joke. You might be on the spectrum

>>98587482Its wood elves.

>>98587495>>98587525You just have to get creative to get around the monopose
>>98587533What are the chances of GW doing a huge plastic forest dragon when they get around to touching on the welves?
>>98587553I don’t give a fuck about dragons, just give me a plastic fucking stag kit already. I’m this close to just converting lumineth shit and putting antlers on characters and calling it a day.
>>98587347>vampire conquistadorsomeone played too much MtG : Ixalan
>>98587553Eventually? 100%. In the next refresh. Decent but who knows. GW loves their big centerpieces, but the rumours claim there are a lot of non centerpiece refreshing coming for TK and Bretonnia.
>>98587553Other wood elf kits would come first
you know, why is it that we call WHFB WHFB but we call WFRP WFRP? Shouldn't it be either WFB or WHFRP?
>>98587575I stopped playing at ravnica, but I won't lie I was thinking about them as I saw their artworks some time ago, they're pretty fucking sleek.Orzhov too.
>>98587589Older and wiser men have decided these things long before us. These ways have served us well. Questioning them is looking for trouble
>>98587589Some people do call it WFB. As for WFRP vs WHFRP, the latter is too long. And when spoken, "wuf-rup" is easier to say and closer to that written form.
>>98587553>First release is a big fuckoff dragon for mummies>Second release is a big fuckoff dragon for chinks>Third release is a big fuckoff dragon for chaosThe Old World is the dragonlords' edition.
Tell me about the time you ran Enemy Within, did it live up to the hype?
>>98586724TQChaos Dwarfs, hopefully looking better than the mmo style shit AoS gotalso the whole concept of regiments of renown need to come backnot necessarily as part of a new Tilea/Dogs of War army but rather each army in the game should have one or two RoR, with a unit upgrade set and a specially sculpted command group I remember that Forge World tried to do that for the Empire when they did whfb books
>>98587638I've only run the first book in 4th edition and it was awesome. But from what I've heard, it's the later books than can cause problems.
>>98587627I hope kislev gets a dragon toonamely kattarin the bloody on a zmeiI would hate to see kislev get the giant ice bear or the lame ass ice wyrm total war hastily cooked up as damage control for a lackluster dlc
>>98587638>did it live up to the hype?Yes, actually. Normally I approach prewritten adventures like pre-made meals, but Enemy Within was worth the weight.
>>98587658as a GM you just need to properly read through the entire campaign and sort stuff out beforehand since it gets messy
So are dragons actually supposed to be rare, feels like every faction basically fucking has the damn thing.
Played 3 Battle March games at 750 with the dwarf player I am doing a mini narrative campaign between us. We had done the first 3 missions in the Battle March book and played the last 3 today. The first battle involved the Orcs having taken over a Dwarven smiths forge, and the dwarf force pushing the orcs back, had to avenge it.Bardok the Black Orc Big boss made his narrative debut with 10 black orcs. The orcs attempted to hold ground but once again the Dwarfs charged, causing terrible damage to the ranks. The Dwarf Thane forced Grimtoof and his boyz back, running into Snagrog's big uns. Once more, the arch rivals met in the ferocious melee and once more, with a terrible swing of his runic hammer, tore into Snagrog, his Meteoric Iron failing to save him!To make matters worse, Bardok was butchered by the Giantslayer, as well as the Slayers themselves annihilating the Black Orcs, forcing them to flee!The dwarfs had reclaimed their forge.
>>98587638I only played the first 2 books of the 4e version, but I thought it was quite good.I wouldn't say it "lived up to the hype" though, because the hype made it seem like it was the best ttrpg campaign of all time, and I know several that are better. But it was still really good so...
>>98587674yes, the average army represents an extreme outlier of what the faction has over the map
>>98587614You know what, that makes sense. Why, this very thread is called /wfg/, not /whfg/! I'll use WFB from now on, thank you anon.
Got a game of Battle March tomorrow, finally breaking my dry spell of not having a game for a few weeks, kinda hyped!
>>98587675The second battle, and fifth BM scenario, saw the Dwarfs attacking the Orcs emergency supply of squigs and grots.Snagrog grunted. This Stunty was determined and had beat him a good few times, but now, he would get even! What had started as a mild raid on a humie village, had turned into an ongoing set of clashes against the bloodthirsty stunty boss and his gits. The Black Orc, Bardok, had gotten himself zogged, as did his boyz after talking a big game. Shame, Snagrog had hoped to fight him. Now, however, a trio of trolls had joined, being lured by the carnage of battle and rotting carcasses left in its wake. The Dwarfs had already started butchering and burning the emergency supplies Snagrog had set for his tribe, so the battle ensued. Grimtoof, disgruntled as ever, lead his boyz up the flank while the wolves and boars went up the other.Snagrog spotted the boss stunty among his Longbearded bodyguard. He placed a hand on his Meteoric Iron. Although he had gotten krumped, the armour remained untouched. He had his goblin forgers expand the suit slightly more, beyond just the immense breast plate.Shouting a mighty WAAAGH, the greenskins advanced.
>>98587372Looks like a fucking World of Warcraft expansion.
>>98587710The fighting had begun. After calling a mighty WAAAGH, Snagrog and his boyz had charged straight into the Longbeards. The trolls had trampled alongside them. The stunty boss was here. Forcing himself to the front, they met. Before the Thane had a chance to raise his weapon, Snagrog struck. With one mighty swing, fueled by the eminating WAAAGH energy, his axe plunged through the Thane's breastplate, splitting armour and viscera both from the puny stunty!Letting out a great roar, Snagrog declared himself victorious, but it was not to be. Seizing their leaders body, the Longbeards pulled back and the Trolls got stuck! The big uns carreened into the Slayers.Unfortunateky the Slayers were in no mood and tore the big uns apart, breaking them. Soon the whole army was in flight, except Grimtoof who had destroyed the Thunderers. A final clash of Grimtoof and his boyz against the Longbeards, saw the Dwarfs once more take the field.Now, the final encounter would take place. Despite orders from his King and having driven the orcs far from their gates, the Thane relentlessly pursued Snagrog and his orcs, hoping to drive the Greenskins totally from their borders.But now, the Thane would soon learn, he had driven his force too deep.
>>98587696I am in the exact same spot. Been 3 weeks since my last game cause every grog is out "on vacation" with "family". At least the college kids are coming back in a week.
>>98587747The third and final battle of the campaign (Sixth scenario from the book), saw the Dwarfs before the makeshift camp of Snagrog Deadeye. Supplies destroyed abd his main camp eradicated, the Greenskin had shown a relentless determination, seemingly never giving up regardless of the disasters which befell him.So it was, the Dwarfs, driven by their half mad Thane, met the Skull Smashaz. Now both forces fought with a mad determination, one to annihilate their foes and the others to survive.Snagrog had told the bosses of what few tribes he gathered of da plan. They also knew what would happen if they didn't follow it.Snagrog glared to either side. The boyz and arrers knew what to do. The Dwarfs marched forward, with the wolves and boars darting up ahead on the right flank.Grimtoof marched forward to meet the slayers. So it was, the Thunderers were overwhelmed by the boars and renmants of the wolves who rallied. Grimtoof charged the slayers but were repelled. They were charged again and wiped out but now da plan came into action. Calling a WAAAGH, Snagrog charged but unfortunately, missed the charge. The Thane counter charged and so did the two generals face one another.
>>98587803And then what happened? I’m actually invested in your campaign, anon. Hope Snagrog finally gives the stunty whatfor.
>>98587803Battle raged all around Snagrog. He had lost a lot of boyz since the Stunties had started their hunt of him but there was plenty more eager to fight, after krumpin their bosses.Now the climatic battle had brought both dwarfs and orcs to the border of the Badlands. Snagrog let out a mighty WAAAAGH and the Thane struck with its Rune hammer. A devastating rain of blows slammed into Snagrog (3 wounds!) with a deafening clang. But this time, the blows had hit the unbreakabke Meteoric Iron, only a minor wound getting through. Snagrog struck back with an overhead swing, his Choppa ripping the air as it struck the Dwarf in the chest. The Thane, now bloodied, was barely saved by his gromril armour."Not so tough now are ya stunty?!" Snagrog growled. The battle raged on. The longbeards gave ground and now the melee was at its climax. Now Snagrog and the Thane struck at the same time. Calling on his ancestors, the Thane swung with all his might with a blow which could have slew even the hardiest of beasts (another 3 wounds). Snagrog bellowed as he felt the impact, but the Meteoric Iron once more took the impact (saved 2/3) and it was the final blow whucb ended it. His choppa came down, splitting open the Thane's breastplate and leaving a terrible, bloody wound across its chest.The Longbeards grabbed their Thane and tried to reform but now they were atracked from all sides. The boars and wolves hit the rear, the big uns the front. They fell back in good order but they were relentlessly pursued. A great bearded Dwarf stepped forward to meet Snagrog, bellowing a challenge.Snagrog laughed as he split the Dwarf in two from head to toe, a bloody shower covering his fellow warriors nearby. The Longbeards broke at last, their stubborn nature not enough to hold in the face of such greusome displays. They were run down and at last, Snagrog had taken the field. Finally after losing the first 5 scenarios, the Orcs held at the last push.
So what's up with The Old World? Is it DoA? I came back wanting to play Vampire Cunts and Fatass Kingdom, but they are still Legend Armies.
>>98587902VC are a top tier army despite being Legacy.
>>98587902When TOW launched, Gdubs didnt know what they were doing and were extremely slow to (re)launch armies + they didn't want to launch any armies that would interfere with AoS, especially the 4th edition launch that summer (Skaven). They're still doing that to a degree, but showing better signs of caring about the game. But who knows, maybe they'll go half a year without saying anything again. Dark Elves, Ogres, and VC are probably way on the backburner because of their equivalents in AoS, especially ogres.
>>98587370Sultai were sick
>>98587962and then Wizards of the Coast said Tarkhir wasn't diverse enough, the block with no white people, based on south east asia, tibet, mongolia and turks, was not diverse enough
>>98587979Tarkir already had the first MtG tranny it's kind of where it all went to shit.
>>98587962Original Takir was all great.It was probably the last imaginative set WotC did that, maybe original Ixalan as well, but they screwed that up as well.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S3_oYCnBak
>>98588001>2014
>>98588018yeah the stark contrast between that 2014 artwork and later WotC stuff is shocking.pic is an example of something that was completely scrubbed by WotC, and now even GW won't do anything like this to offend China when making Cathay
How well do the new Chaos Warriors and the ones released for AoS go together aesthetically, as well as practically on square bases?
>>98588143chaos warriors are chaos warriorsthey're within the size rangethey're within the range's stylethey're within the designs' variants
>>98588143the new ToW models mog the shit out of the AOS ones.
>>98587851See >>98587896
>>98588143I like the new ToW ones because it fits with the Norscan theme. The old ones feel more Kurgan.Don't get the Age of Smegma ones; they have the Darkoath marauders, which have the fat female libtroon variety with the side-cut hair and the "pygmy" sort.
>>98588143theres definitely a stylistic difference but probably close enough that you can make it work with a cohesive color scheme. its a little hard to tell from online pictures how much of the difference in armor quality is the model itself vs the fact that one is painted in true metal metallics and the other is painted in flat black paint with no metallics.the old old ones though are much smaller and have cartoony proportions compared to either of them
Really don’t like being reminded what a downgrade the chaos refresh was.
>>98588231man we're so close, we just need a box of mutation bits for blade arms and claws
>>98588272That looks nothing like the (new) chaos warrior modelsSaid warrior models don’t have any cues that would make them fit with kitbashes for forsaken
>>98588290i wasnt saying it did, i was referencing the marauder kit you posted, which is getting closer in design to the marauders from warhammer online, just missing their mutation weapon arms. obviously also minus the hyper detailed armor filigree and warping but thats not a big deal, im more just talking about the silhouettes and helmets
>>98588270if you mean the recent TOW refresh, you have very bad taste
>>98588257>the last guy on the right>at long last, i've finally got you cornered Harry Potter...
>>98588257Middle Chaos sculpts are the best.
>>98588045yeah, I'm not really a MtG player but I know a few things about this setting and I've read an article according to which long time players don't like the recent sanitization of art and lore in the gameit surprised me because I thought (wrongly it seems) that MtG players were largely typical woke/pro-diversity types https://mtgrocks.com/sultai-tarkir-dragonstorm/some of these older artwork for the snake guys are absolutely metal and would be a great inspiration for whfb ; I particularly like the undead used as furniture pieces, i can totally imagine warhammer necromancers doing thatalso Innistrad got to be my favorite plane (even though as I've said, I don't really know much about MtG) so I hope it didn't get sanitized too
>>98588354>your DEH!struction is imminent, Potter-child
>>98588408>so I hope it didn't get sanitized tooThey also fucked up, multiple times even.
>>98588408Not the same anon you replied to, but to me, I always was under the assumption that MtG players aren't "typical woke/pro-diversity types," as you would say; it's just that they are the biggest slop consumers imaginable, where you can literally shit on their plate, and they would gladly scoop the remnants with their fingers.
>>98588212You're supposed to post this shit in the AoS thread to beg them to financially support our dieing game with their proxies
>>98588408Innistrad is full of awesome ideas for AoS Death armies and whfb VC; I always liked the distinction between necromancer types : ghoulcallers and stitchers. In my mind stitchers have far more potential for warhammer horror than classic necromancerssomething like the Skaab would be a great addition for an undead army with a lot of opportunities for kitbashing and several possible variants
>>98588408What in the goddamn? Glad I dropped this game years ago.
>>98588408>>98588490I don't know if any of you guys noticed but GW clearly took inspiration from Innistrad wraiths for the Nighthaunt army, they're almost identical : the same cowled faces, the same elongated arms with claws, in some cases in both settings some wraiths have multiple arms... hell, GW even called them geists which is a name Wizard of the Coasts were already using for their own ghosts
>>98588490>something like the Skaab would be a great addition for an undead army with a lot of opportunities for kitbashing and several possible variantslike zombie Chaos Spawn ? what a cool idea ! far better than yet another version of the "vampire who mutated into a giant bat-monster" trope
>>98588500you better not look at the not-hogwarts/magic school plane decks, it's pure pronoun-core cancer just like modern DnD
>>98588490Eldritch Moon also had some great lovecraft/undead fusions.Undead chaos ain't much of a thing though, sadly.

>>98588592The Empire, Beastmen and Orc one is an upgrade over the battalions. I think the HE one is too but for some reason people hate on it hard. I think the WE battalion is still much better though
I wish the battle marches were actually definitively good. I might just play Hh 3.0 at this point. The new demon rules look much more fun than the latest book for warriors of chaos. Oh sorry, hordes of chaos.
>>98588790HE just suffer from a limited number of models and low character amounts compared to the Bestmen or Orc one.
>>98588802IDK (or really care) how the battle marches work for BM as a game mode. But I think the HE one is great for starting collecting a HE army. 2x of them gives you a lot of bang for your buck.
>>98588815Isn't Battle March flexible rules anyways? Not like Combat Patrol or Spearhead?
>>98586724>TFW you get 2 wizardly miscasts, one bound spell miscast and an dispel miscast, all by turn 4, against fucking dwarfs.
>>98588821In the sense that there is no actual fixed lists yeah. You're just limited to 750 points max. These battle march boxes are all legal forces, but they are just one of the effectively countless ways to build a BM army. It's not like spearhead where you get to use what's in the box and don't have any wiggle room to add or remove units/characters to your taste.
>>98588821Yeah, you can list build, but the boxes come with a pre-prepared list that you can use without the FoF/RH books
>>98588815>have IoB helf side>got a skycutter a while ago to start seaguard army>GW bring out this boxOnce in a blue moon GW do something just right.
>>98588850I think their thinking was just to put almost all their modern HE plastics in one box. I imagine the HE battalion sold like shit because almost no one wanted the ancient militia so they swung hard the other way for this one.Like I said I have heard many people shit on this box online/youtube. But I think it's arguably the best BM box for starting a new collection.
>>98588143Having just recently put the AoS warriors on square bases, I can say it is possible but it’s absolute ass to get them to fit well enough together
>>98588860It’s just a shrinkflated box compared to the battleforce, it should be rightfully shat on. I would praise these boxes but for some reason they decide to cunt the contents in fucking half. Like how am I supposed to be happy about spending nearly an identical amount of money for a battalion box with awkward unit numbers. One chariot (granted it’s one chariot too many, and the most use you can get out of it are the lions for a charice army), 5 fucking shadow archers or whatever the fuck, 20 lothern spearmen/archers are fine I guess. 5 min squad cav are also just weird. Oh and the kite. It’s awkward. Same deal with wood elves but it’s worse.
>>98588592Is it a way for them to get rid of old stock before a model upgrade?
>>98588801Do you really want GW to start selling competitive lists in a box? Those boxes aren't meant to be that, anon.
>>98588882Nah, this is just to give an entry point for battle march for new people. The TK one will come out with new sculpts most likely relatively soon.
>>98588881You really need to buy two of them for HE to make it make sense and get one of every unit/box, but it's still quite a good value. Esp considering the Skycutter builds a character too.
>>98588888Oh when I mean good, I don’t mean like, competitively good. I just want a product where I feel like I can be happy with buying. Pic rel is sick, most are pretty new sculpts, and are all cool and decent for a starting point for an army as well as adding to it. It’s even got upgrade sprues for it. The battlemarch boxes feel like a kick in the balls where they are purposefully trying to deny you any real value from its single purchase, never mind multiple of them.
>>98588908You have Cathay and WoC with all new sculpts. Soon you will have TK's too. TOW will get more and more new sculpts but you have to be patient. When HH releases one marine kit, it's a kit that covers 90% of armies in the game. TOW armies don't have that overlap so the refreshes will be slower naturally.
>>98588899>The TK one will come out with new sculpts most likely relatively soon.do wonder when they will reveal those new TK models at this point.Currently, we already know the next AoS release, the next 40k release and two Necromunda releases
>>98589017Probably before November/December
>>98588935>>98588908There's no guarantee with new sculpts coming in a timely manner unless they say so. Cathay was kind of an anomaly no one expected last year.
>>98589070We're looking at the next 2-3 months for sure.
>>98589070Rumour engines these days don't stay around for that long so we will see the new TK stuff by the end of the year
Question for the terrain makers; do you base your terrain or just leave as cardboard/foam? If yes, plasticard, foam board, or what?
>>98588592Swordsmen is the only built for state troops that doesn't look like crap. Seriously, look at this toothpick and pose.
>>98589192I dont like pajama pants wearing dudes. There are multipler reasons why I dont give a fuck about the empire as an army, and they're like my 4th reason why.
>>98586724>TQAlready mentioned by other anons, but Snake-men from Kuresh would be the awesome. An evil equivalent to Lizardmen with also (evil) mayaincatec technology....its just too good to not implement it on the game.
That's fine, more empire for me TBQH
>>98589192meh, they mostly look bad imo because they're dynamic poses on ranked up bases.
>>98589192It sucks because Manann's Blades clearly show that state troops in proper puff and lash could look amazing
>>98587696The herd has been assembled for a raid on the man-filth and other potential prey that stand in their way
>>98588592Only one of the custodes(?) books is limited, the battle match boxes regular release, with some of them being delayed in gookland, you illiterate faggot
>>98588681I've always really respected Finland and wanted to visit, but I think I'd get executed for how outgoing I am. Love meeting people and having conversations when I travel, and I'm given to believe that's firmly off the table. Still looks beautiful though, halcyon images of gorgeous lakes and saunas and undamaged natural landscapes stretching out forever. And they'll always have my respect for inventing Mordheim. >>98589206Agree. I know this is contentious but I think Empire needed a range update more than Chaos did. The Empire infantry could look pretty cool if GW granted all of them the puffy-sleeved uniform styles that are currently confined to Greatswords and character models. Even the art that gets published right now of individual empire soldiers does that. Kruber from the vermintide game is supposed to be a totally typical infantryman, and he's wearing something a lot cooler and more ornate than the pajama uniform. I'd love an infantry box of empire soldiers in his clothes, wouldn't you?
>>98589418Kruber is a grizzled veteran infantryman.
>>98589422>>98589418Yeah he’s (sadly) kinda more like a champion or maybe verging on a hero in all likelihood.
>>98588508Eh, nighthaunt are more or less just cairn wraiths: the faction.
>>98589418I thought (OG) Kruber was a former captain?
>>98589418100% Empire needed a facelift more, but Chaos is the more popular faction, and it's knights and foot warriors, because for some stupid reason the AoS results aren't allowed to count, are the older ones, they got the refresh first
>>98589422>>98589432>>98589497Alright, fair enough. I'll concede that point, Kruber is a cut above your average infantryman. But I still think the average infantryman should look more like Kruber does. There's no reason they shouldn't have holy icons and trophies, bits of armour to protect their extremities, ornaments and bags and belts and so forth. I find it natural to do soldier models in that exact style, where it's not too flashy but has some more pop to it than featureless cloth.
im new into tow what do u think about this color scheme for my army? its also my first atempt at nmm
>>98589553The blue-green looks weird to me, but that's just me. Rest looks good though. Get the red off the leather belt.
>>98589314I love your beastmen brother
>>98589553I like the red and blue green a lot, not completely sold on the gold. Not sure if it's because it's NMM or because I don't like gold with those colors. I think it might look better with bronze
>>98589418I sure can't wait for GW to update the State Troops, it's about time 1/3 of the models were conspicuously(but definitely not in an attractive way) female. Hopefully we also get some improved diversity in the heads, it's a travesty that the current kit is so pale, stale, and male.
>>98589553First time I've seen a jade version of Jade Warriors that looked good, you've done a great job of ensuring neither of the main colours totally overwhelms the model. I'd agree with >>98589717, although I'm also just not generally a fan of NMM so take that for what it's worth.
Progress continues on my Lahmian Vampire Counts army. Particularly pleased with the banner, where I printed out a Blanche painting and cut it into shape, soaked the paper in glue and water, and pressed it onto the plastic banner like a decal. Wasn't sure if it was going to work but it did. Highlights on these ghouls are way too fucking bright but whatever, I kind of like extreme contrasts. Call it Caravaggio.
>>98590002>where I printed out a Blanche paintingAbsolutely kino
>>98590002Nice trick for the banner, I just might use that, thanks, and great work!
>>98590002Which paint did you use for the skin?
>>98590016>>98590053Thanks anons. I'm surprised by how easy the process was with the banner - definitely going to keep using this technique for heraldry, shield designs, tattoos - the possibilities are endless and you can print whatever you want at the pharmacy or wherever for pennies. Cool discovery. >>98590110Vallejo brush on primer (not recommended but I live in an apartment), army painter crusader skin contrast paint, and then army painter quartz skin for the highlights. Being lazy I've become a bit attached to basecoating in a contrast paint before doing my highlights in a dramatically brighter color. Same technique was used on the skeletons, but I think they came out a bit better.
>>98590189>Vallejo brush on primerWhat color do you use, Anon? I use the black with no troubles, but the grey went bad on me.
Will there be a special thread to post our models for the painting contest or do we do it here?
>>98590197Grey's the one I used as well. I think that a white would work better, maybe?
Pirate bretonians?
>>98587358This looks more like AOS lizards.
>Dwarfs have bad fluff>Welves have bad fluffWho else has bad fluff?
>>98590529Tomb kings, Bret’s, Cathay, arguably lizardmen, to a degree for some.
>>98588592Boughted the beastmen one along with a couple of skaven MTO lords
>>98588826I recently had two back to back games where my cannon rolled a missfire, reroll from the engineer missfired, and then rolled a 1 on the missfire table. Both times on turn 1.
>>98589553It looks great but I personally would turn insane painting all those details x40
>>98590620That's TT baby!
>>98590621modern gw moment
After reading the new March of Chaos book, I have mixed feelings regarding the fluff. On one hand, it is nice that Chaos Dwarfs have been removed as the makers of Chaos armour, but now the process feels oddly standardised.Before, Chaos Armour was a living gift from the Chaos gods. You could get up from bed and suddenly be in chaos armour or your own kit could slowly morph into it. But now, you go to one of the big towers, get stripped and get armour put on you.That, and the Chaos wastes. It used to be a setting within a setting almost with how weird it is. Now, all the key points of the Chaos wastes seems to be marked and identified on a map. I preferred when Chaos had a bit of mystery and ambiguity, but now I feel GW filling in the gaps in details has taken away some of their uniqueness and depth. Anyone else feel the same?
>>98589712Thank you Anon
>>98590758It's like Horus Heresy, remove the mystical, the setting looses its flavour.
>>98590758I don't think it matters what any given book says, the fanbase will count all potential origins of chaos armour as concurrently canonical>self-made and blessed>grown as a mutation>made by chaos dwarfs>made in the forge of souls>made by a chaos godsimilarly, the locations on the map of the chaos wastes matter little because getting to any of those locations is a hellish odyssey of shifting landscapes and warped spacetimebasically stop treating books as limiting and start treating them as you would a bits box
>>98589192>>98589303>>98589418>>98589509Obviously there's a good argument for an Empire model refresh, but it seems some want a kind of redesign of the infantry.Do people think it would be better to go full gaudy puffy Landsknecht rather than subdued Reislaufer?I think the current style is a sort of compromise with mid-15th century landsknecht equipment, but with earlier late-14th century clothing like Swiss reislaufer are commonly depicted. I think they did this because they thought some customers would perceive puff-and-slash as too silly, but instead they leaned too hard towards the "pajamas" look.
Finished a Wizard, which also allows me to field a fulled painted 1000 pts Empire army.What are/is YOUR current project(s) Anon?
>>98590848Nta, but I feel like the issue is not with the specific bits of fluff they've been adding, but rather with how they're leaving less and less blank areas in it. The more a setting is coloured in, the less space it has left for wonder and mystery. It all makes the setting feel smaller, more restrictive whilst not really making it any more interesting.Look at the realm of chaos books, nearly 600 pages to describe just what chaos, its lands and it's inhabitants are, and as long as it it's, it leaves even more up to the imagination, for you to explore on the tabletop or fantasise about. Hell, even the leaked draft from the third book had a system to play campaigns in the actual chaos wastes, with random terrain and scenario generation (with god specific terrain and some truly surreal descriptions) to represent the shifting and twisting nature of the land.Mapping the world limits it's scope. While yes, I agree with the bits box analogy, GWs contemporary writing is very much similar to their newer kits: pretty, but made to primarily work in the way they intended. It's barely evocative and doesn't really invite to explore and build within it.
>>98591035I don't mind the more ragged look for the basic state troops. It's the execution that sucks, the models have far bodies, weird posing like they're doing a phalanx with tiny noodly spears and halberds, and they are cluttered with too many poorly sculpted trinkets like ribbons, prayer scrolls, daggers, hourglasses, etc. They're painful to paint and look bad in large units.
>>98591092GW came to a similar conclusion, that the old world didn't have much space to explore, and that's how the end times and AoS happened.
>>98591059Finishing two boar chariots to complete the building of my Orc and Goblin Battalion box I bought this month. After that comes priming and painting.
>>98591059No particular project atm, jumping between working on some empire and skaven.Right now I'm painting this classic grey seer for my screaming bell.
>>98591059Finally got around to basing some of the stuff I painted recently.
>>98591059I'm finishing bases on my chaos warriors ATM. As soon as I'm done with them, I'll start working on the lord on a dragon I've rescued in December. I was hoping to finish the rest of the army before him, but the last 10-11 beastmen will have to wait.
>>98589497Krubar was a sergeant
>>98591426Looks like a pain to glue together.
>>98591437yeah they are
>>98591437It was fine. I find pinning relaxing, and it makes metal models come together in no time. In a few places he needed two instead of one. For example legs, but there's an easy trick when you place a piece of blue tack after making pins on one part and press it to the second one to align the drill holes. Don't let the new wfb crowd scare you from metal models.
>>98591426Awesome!Just a bit of advice, I also have the same metal dragon, and there's a lot of weight in the front.The legs on my dragon has started to bend and the entire model is sagging forward, if possibleI would recommend trying to run a thick brass or steel rod through the shin of the legs to give it more support.
>>98590811Fantasy doesn’t have anything mystical in it
>>98591618I remember my own plastic version braking exactly at that point as well
>chaos warriors are now mindless puppets thanks to the arcane journalthanks gw, very cool
When will we get proper Amazonians?
>>98587696A horde of Goblins and Black Orcs met face to face with a Raiding party of Beastmen in the center of a small village in The Empire, both seeking a coalescence of magic that has started to emerge from a surge in the Winds of Magic.The beastmen wanted it to further their dark deeds, the Orcs wanted it ”Cuz dat fing is green an’ green iz best!”It was a simple 600p Battle March with a notable landmark in the center, we also got chilling winds on the weather table.It was quick and brutal with me losing most of my Bestigors to a fanatic before they got chomped down by mangler squigs, meanwhile my Gors got itchy nuisance and were reduced to 1 in both toughness and initiative, and were beater down over the subsequent turns.My ungors also felt the mangler squig and were run down by it after a brief combat.
>>98591895A mangler squig in battle march seems very mean imo
>>98591059Skeletons. So many skeletons. Got a metal Blood Dragon vampire coming next week, so that’s exciting.
>>98591945I would have easily beaten it if the fanatic wasn’t lucky to kill half of my Bestigors, it had one would left after fighting the remaining ones. I was unlucky to not kill it with my ungors too later on.
>>98591892go back to /v/
>>98591864Do we have a /wfg/-approved scan of the new AJ? I remember one anon had an image gallery of screenshots from a video "reviewing" the book, but I seem to have misplaced that link.
>>98592046I don't have the whole thing, but here's picrel of the nulore
>>98592048That's actually not bad at all. I like the unreliable question as to whether or not they can remove the armor, or if it's an allegory.
>>98591864>>98592048>often>there are some that retain a fragment of themselvesWhy must you be so hyperbolic
>>98592048I don't much care for that at all. Sublimating the choice to forsake life and serve the gods of Chaos is silly, it takes away agency. Every servant of Chaos chose that life, one way or another. Absolving them of their responsibility for the sins they commit in service to their masters is boring. They're evil. That's why they're cool! Let them be evil!
>>98592046I don't think it's saying what you think it's saying
>>98592083>Absolving them of their responsibility for the sins they commit in service to their masters is boringI don't think that's what they are doing at all. Just stating that deep enough into the life they lose themselves in the sense of the person they were and what they wanted for themselves. Kind of like how a drug addict deep in the throes of addiction doesn't really have free will in the same sense as a non addict (with some being able to will themselves out of addiction kind of like how certain chaos champions retain some of their old self). But they are still responsible because they chose to walk that path with their own free will.
>>98592048I thought that Chaos Armor came from the Chaos Dwarfs themselves, who trade their crafts for the furs and hides from the Norscans and Kurgans. Chaos Dwarfs also provide a lot of the artillery and constructs that Warriors of Chaos use, like the hellcannons and demon engines.
>>98592095There have been different origins for chaos armour and none of those should be taken as the only origin of all chaos armours.
Fucked up that GW's interactive TOW map includes Vampire Counts but not Cathay
Wasn't sure if I'd manage to finish them before the end of this month, but here they are. A bunch of dudes march from the wastes.
>>98592333Gorgeous anon. You knocked it out of the park
I heard a story about dwarves destroying a city because someone might have accidentally noticed them taking a few cents from a large chest of gold. Has that ever made people more likely to ask a dwarf to check their payment before leaving, just to be sure nothing was shorted, even by a tiny amount? Or would that be considered offensive to dwarves, asking them to count the payment to confirm it’s correct?
>>98592333They look like closely-packed commuters holding subway poles.
I was watching a vod of an Andy Law stream and one of the questions was about that fake Arcane Journal leak that had the Fimir/Heroquest Army of Infamy, and his response was pretty interesting. He said that the fake leak compared to the real AJ stuff really speaks to the lack of creativity in TOW in that there's never been an Army of Infamy that has illicited that reaction of "Aw man I'd have never thought of that but now I can see how cool it is."
>>98592486Andy Law is a DEI pushing redditor homo with no artistic credibility.
>>98592394No, that story is not influential and is itself an outlier in how reasonable the factions usually are.
>>98592502He looks like he should live in London and get a knife of diversity to the jugular.
>>98587370GW doesn't have the balls.
>>98592486I don't see how that response is interesting in the slightest.
>>98592486I mean, hes not wrong. The arcane journals are overall just fucking boring.
>>98592394Wasn't that about the dwarfs building a wall? And then the humans shortchanged them like a couple pieces of copper or gold or whatever currency. And when the dwarfs realized years later they took and army, besieged the city and destroyed the wall before leaving?Or am I misremembering.
>>98592502Why do they all make that expression with the raised eyebrow?
>>98592486Andy Law's creativity would involve adding black women to every human army.
>>98592513he lives in Edinburgh, but central Edinburgh attracts a similar type of person
>>98592502people hating on a man thats more virile and handsome than 80% of the lads in this general, and the 20% remaining are all just troons that want him inside of them.
>>98591035Empire should be more puff n slash than it is now.State troops kit should have puff n slash on both arms + some legs, and missile troops arms only.Greatswords should be heavily armoured, with more armour on the left (i e. side facing enemy/forward) and more puff n slash on right side. All should have a metal skullcap under any floppy hat
>>98592556>Empire should be more puff n slash than it is now.CRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGE
>>98592267VC are a core faction to the setting, so that makes sense. Cathay is shit and will be shelved & forgotten the moment Kislev or new Empire troops drop.
>>98592533The Empire will have General Taqwanda Von Grummhold-Jackson before TOW has run its course.
>>98592589Yeah, you can see the amount of forced diversity in TOW with the 0 black people they have so far.
Dubs and GW releases new knights on the realm where half the sprue has female bodies, some with Negroid features.
>>98592515Truly jeet propaganda goes far back. They can't fool me, I've seen what their women look up with modern makeup and access to bathrooms
>>98587992No, it went to shit with Triumph of Ferocity.
>>98592600there was once a people of actual humans in india, I believe
>>98592593>Chaos led by a swarthy woman>female knights and commanders in Bretonnia>Cathay led by a mary sue woman>official studio armies with groid soldiersThe undoing of this setting is in the early stages, but inevitable. Cope as much as you like, buddy.
>>98592636There aren’t any official studio army with groids. Those are personal projects shown on warcom. Look through the webstore. 0 blacks. I know you’re a troll but this is a really bad reality denying angle to use to shitpost.
>>98592644Again, cope however you like. You will see black Empire soldiers before the setting dies for good.
>>98592644>There aren’t any official studio army with groids.slaves to darkness have them, but I don't think why you would think they would get ported over to tow, they aren't chaos mutants originally, so it's possible that they also existed in tow, but they might just have been born in aos
>>98592644>There aren’t any official studio army with groids.Untrue; the official Nuln army has at least one
>>98592644They don’t paint tow minis, they just copy paste their photoshop.
>>98589574>>98589717>>98589736>>98590621thanks for feedback im kinda new into paitng (started like 3months ago) and trying my best to learn new stuff
>>98592657I kind of want a subfaction for the south continent based on french foreign legion that is made for fighting tomb kings. That would have black empire soldiers without being completely fuck off stupid.
>>98592668What's the bannerman model in the back? looks neat.
>>98592688Wouldn't a more Schutztruppe-inspired one make more sense?Then mix it with Sokoto and Bornu military doctrines
>>98592668Clearly he's a Sigmarite not!Ethiopian on pilgrimage, Chud. ;)
>>98592705It's the Captain holding the Griffen banner. It's an older metal model that they put out as an MTO a year ago
>>98592668He's just soot stained from the Nuln air
>>98592713Missed that one. Though seeing it up close I'm not too upset.
>>98592709I mean, yes. I just like the french foreign legion outfit better. It's one of the few things that the french do consistently good, fashion. They're almost never the best, but they're basically always second best for each time period.
>>98592569You clearly dont like the faction, all the earlier art (and still most of the later art) depicted them this way
Some people dislike puff & slash because they hate the aesthetic. I dislike puff & slash because my guys are from Stirland, and those inbred bumpkins are too poor for all that flashy pomp.
>>98592688That idea is gayEmpire is the faction of huwhite, german men
>>98592778Thats great but youre probably the one in four billion that actually wants to play the povo shoeless subfaction
>>98592787Very cool, but how does that change the fact that the current Empire aesthetic is perfect for me?
>>98591892When you play Bloodbowl.
>>98592571how popular and profitable in terms of sale Cathay actually is ?
>>98592976considering they got added to the latest starter set with nothing new in it (not even a upgrade sprue for the jade warriors to have a crossbow option), not very.
>>98592668>that Sigmarite priestClearly Tilean.>Ya know, I read a lot. Especially about things... about history. I find that shit fascinating. Here's a fact I don't know whether you know or not. Tileans were spawned by pygmies.>It's a fact. Yeah. You see, uh, Tileans have, uh, black blood pumpin' through their hearts. Hey, no, if eh, if eh, if you don't believe me, uh, you can look it up. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, uh, you see, uh, the Arabyans conquered Tilea. And the Arabyans are pygmies.>So you see, way back then, uh, Tileans were like, uh, wops from the Empire. Ah, they all had blonde hair and blue eyes, but, uh, well, then the Arabyans moved in there, and uh, well, they changed the whole country. They did so much fuckin' with Tilean women, huh? That they changed the whole bloodline forever. That's why blonde hair and blue eyes became black hair and dark skin. You know, it's absolutely amazing to me to think that to this day, hundreds of years later, that, uh, that Tileans still carry that pygmy gene. Now this...>No, I'm, no, I'm quoting... history. It's written. It's a fact, it's written.>Your ancestors are niggers. Uh-huh.>Hey. Yeah. And, and your great-great-great-great grandmother fucked a pygmy, ho, ho, yeah, and she had a half-pygmy kid... now, if that's a fact, tell me, am I lying? 'Cause you, you're part eggplant.
>>98592636>>Chaos led by a swarthy womanI already pointed out that your use of the word "swarthy" makes no fucking sense the last time you tried this. Do you know what that word means? It means dark-skinned. Her skin is white as hell. You need to explain what the fuck you mean.

>>98590758>>98591092repost from an older general>>98540783>am I wrong or GW changed something with the geography of the north pole of the warhammer world ?the way the Chaos Wastes and the Shardlands have been described it almost feels like it's a part of the Realm of Chaos as much as the individual domains of the gods and not just a part of the mortal world warped by chaos energieswhat I'm trying to say is that it's like GW is making the realm of chaos completely contained in the northern pole of the warhammer world (though still with its own time and laws) rather than a separate placefor example the Forge of Souls is clearly situated on the map now>>98545565>when I read the description of the Shardlands and the nu Chaos Wastes, it reminded me strongly of the description of the Formless Wastes in 40k which are an unaligned part of the Warp not controlled by any Chaos godhttps://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Formless_Wastesthis is where the Forge of Souls is canonically located in 40k and in aos as well>also this bit>castles crafted from bone and fortresses of ichorthis sounds a lot like that place which we know is still canon in TOWhttps://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Marcher_Fortress>Its walls are crafted from blackened stone, veined with pulsing, oozing colours, and mortared with the crushed bones and blood of spent revellers and those that fell in battle against Slaanesh's minions>overall it really feels like GW is trying to push that the Chaos Wastes at the north pole of the Warhammer World are the same as the Formless Wastes of 40k/AoS, the unaligned part of the Warp as if the an entire piece of the Warp was physically located on the physical warhammer world
>>98592095>pic A side point. The fandom Wikia can be helpful at a quick summary, but I REALLY HATE the lackluster referencing of sources, or even the absence of sources like the pic.Which is why I myself prefer Lexicanum (even if it needs a lot of work).

I got the new chaos AJ today and while I'm still reading through it, I really don't like how every narrative passage only mentions what the forces of Cathay are doing militarily. The battles described are happening near Marienburg and both the Empire and Cathay are fighting side by side, but the text explicitly only ever mentions Cathay, and specifically Miao Ying, giving orders and taking action. I'm not an empirefag, but I don't like this. Also, I really dislike almost everything said about Chaos in the book. An anon said something about removing the mystique earlier in this thread and he was completely right. We didn't need to know how getting a suit of chaos armour works. We didn't need to know that every chaos warband actually resides in fortresses that they fight over. We didn't need to know that chaos warriors lose their identity and their free will the instant they don a suit of chaos armour. The Realm of Chaos books from 1988 and 1990 told a far better and more interesting story about what Chaos was all about without telling us all these details precisely because the writers wanted the players to fill in the blanks.
>>98593268Why would a Sigmarite Warrior Priest be spending time in a forge?
>>98593329I think you're getting mad at your own purposeful misinterpretation of the text more than the abysmal quality of the journals themselves
>>98592502I get really annoyed that the majority of new Warhammer content always has forced diversity quotas as bad as 90's Captain Planet. That article about the new imperial guard novels and I thought it was funny how all the covers had at least one asian, one black, one woman, and then finally one white guy. Gone are the days of just white guys. The fact that they are making old fantasy armies like that now too is also annoying as shit.
>>98593344No, I'm mad at the low quality of these arcane journals too. They suck as a format and I would have preferred proper army books. I've been saying this since day 1 of TOW.
>>98593352>how all the covers had at least one asian, one black, one woman, and then finally one white guy.I think that's only true of one of the books, which from the synopsis, sounds like the most boring one; the other two has the characters too far away to tell their ethnicity, and the other is mostly Ratlings who are white, as unlike WotC they haven't decided to make Halflings black yet

>>98593433you talking about the one piece of art from TOWRPG of this clearly white ginger PC?
>>98593459That is the blackest ginger I have seen then. Im also sure there were more depictions of black halflings in the rpg.
>>98593467>That is the blackest ginger I have seen then.That's just how all irish look like
