Can someone explain all the ways magic has changed in Age of Sigmar from Fantasy? Are Imperial battlemages still a thing? If so, are they more powerful? What can they do? How is magic viewed in Sigmarite society in general since it’s so much more common? I assume Witch Hunters are now no longer a thing? Do you still need a ‘license’ to practice it?
>>98613985There was a description in one of the WD's I believe that described the difference between how magic is harnessed between the two settings. In Fantasy, I'm sure you know the drill, harnessing the winds themselves to manipulate into your spell.The way it was described, and I'm paraphrasing from memory here so some of the exact wording might be wrong but the concept is the same, was that the winds don't exist as they did Fantasy since they're coalescing into their respective realm, but magic of all kinds suffuses the realm with the respective realm's energy being in much higher abundance. But they describe channeling magic as reaching your hand into a river and trying to grab specific grains of sand from the bottom to form your spell. It would be easier to cast a spell in its respective realm and harder in others. Arcane Colleges still exist, but I haven't read the new CoS tome to give you a good description and would be a good source to look to for the rest of your questions.
>>98613975Huh, I never noticed the sloggoth has a rock to keep it on all fours
>>98614234It's also where his slave mark is becauae troggs can't have branding burnt into their skin like other monsters
>>98614234Kruleboys are huge dicks. Cruel, even.
>>98613985A lot of the systems you're familiar within were ported over during the days when cities of sigmar weren't a 'true' faction, but a lot of them have been grandfathered in, at least all the human stuff. The arcane colleges as you remember them are essentially copied into the Collegiate Arcane. The Order of Azyr are your witch hunters, vampire hunters, etc, who look about how you might expect. Teclis is Sigmar's direct aide in manners of magical understanding. Witch hunters are somewhat less paranoid than in Fantasy, because of nullstone, which is basically a solidified fragment of the aetheric void (the space between the realms), which is anti-magic to the extreme. Failed wizards will often have nullstone embedded into their bones, both to prevent them from using their powers for evil, but also to protect them from chaos, because wizards are favoured sacrifices. Also, Khornate warbands love using nullstone weapons, javelins, and arrows to weaken wizards before btfo-ing them in melee
>>98614314The aetheric void is pretty cool. Does anything live there? Fantasy flying space whales, that kind of stuff?
>>98614448>Does anything live there?Some cthulhu monsters. Tauralons can fly into it, but it's not their permanent home.
where are the mid-edition campaign books for 4th?
>>98614509You got extra spearhead boxes instead
>>98614568thanks, I hate it.
>>98613985Mages aren't vulnerable to Chaos in the same way, so there's no Witch Hunters. The equivalent hunts evil living spells that are detached from Chaos entirely. There a college of magic but it's a footnote.AoS wizards are like D&D wizards, not WHF.
>>98614797>Mages aren't vulnerable to Chaos in the same waywrong>evil living spells that are detached from Chaos entirely.the arcanum optimar is a tzeentch ploy
>>98614858Post one example
>>98614940
>>98614478I didn't like most of the sacrosanct stuff but tauralons were pretty cool. Gw did them dirty, though I suppose they make decent "lord something on gryph-something" proxies.
>>98614234He'd run away otherwise. They're fast
>>98615085You wouldn't BELIEVE the velocity of an unladen sloggoth
>>98615119why is it called slow then?
>>98615291To trick you
Cathay as proxies for CoS seems like a no brainer. I think I can proxy everything. How would you guys feel about a Miao Ying dragon as a Tahlia proxy?
>>98615355Personally I wouldn't care so long as the model is painted and the base size is right.
>>98615355What're you doing for gallants? I don't think anyone would care but WYSIWYG would mandate a rider of some kind but if you slap the human form beside it like Teclis that would work
>>98615377>What're you doing for gallants?Jade Lancer?
>>98615381nm, I'm being dumb. You mean the on-foot characters, not the mounted ones
>>98615355You've been saying it for over a year now and you haven't fucking done anything about it.Admit why you're realy here "ToW is a flop, AoS chads pleas help us with your money to let it survive"
>>98615385Yeah but I missed Cathay's peasant wave so I thought you'd run Jade Warriors as Steelhelms Nvm
>>98615386Cathay is cheap rn tbhon they aren't a popular starter army but they're in the core set
>>98614448Seraphon space ships, apparently Silver Towers are able to exist there, some monsters
>>98615393Not buying your trash is even cheaper. Exactly $0.00
>>98615355Miao is a lot bigger.Also you might as well play a better game with a better army
>>98615393are the cathay halves going for cheap? I could use another set of jade warriors.
>>98615405don't support that company I hope they go under vote with your wallet
>>98615399>>98615386This seems to be the case as an impartial third party speaking quite bluntly
Is there a PDF of this book yet, or has it not been released yet?
>>98615414>vote with your walletBut I am by buying more cathay model than I need :)
>>98615525We had it posted a few threads ago, but ocr made every image into its own page
>>98615525Why would you ever need a book that will get outdated with the next model release?
>>986155300 isn't greater than 0
>>98615530you are killing GW with that I hope you're happy
>>98615563Infirnation about existing stuff doesn't change when new stuff gets added
>>98615566as long as I get more cathay models in the meantime, im fine with that.
>>98615559>>98615563I looked for it in the previous threads, but the link is dead; I just want to have it for my collection, my friend.
>>98615388There's two loadouts for the gallants champion, right? Can you built both from one set, if you skip on building a regular gallant?
>>98615355God I hate how boring Cathay looks.
>>98615719and still the most interesting human faction, curious
>>98615772Keep telling yourself that bud.
>>98615781its a fact. but to be fair, Im not a lorelet tertiary like you.
>>98615402>Also you might as well play a better game with a better armyPlease let me know if you find one
>>98615355
>the cathay spergouts have infected /aosg/For what reason? Who gives a fuck?
Im going to attempt to magnetize my warpspark weapon battery and stormfiends. This will be my first magnetization attempt. I have some 1/8 by 1/16 inch magnets. Is this fine or should I go smaller to not damage the plastic toos much?
>>98615934miao ying simps and morathi simps are 2 sides of the same sexy coin
>>98615953Morathi is roughly 10000000 times better than Ying (even if she is hot too)
>>98616001They are both only loved by trannies Who tops who between TOW and AoS troons, though?
>>98615952You can go smaller and deeper, stacking magnets for a stronger pull. Alternatively spread several small magnets around for a tighter hold. Plastic is light anyway, I don't think it matters.
>>98616033Idk about cathay but from what I've seen from morathifags I think they're more likely to be chasers
>>98616071our resident morathifags are all troons (peg slop spammer, homestuck fag who eat his pants, etc)
Who or what is the straight white man’s choice if not morathi and chink dragon lady?
>>98616109> homestuck fag who eat his pantsWhat
>>98616133fyrelayers
>>98615934It's the same faggot who was spamming AI generated "cinversions" of chaos warriors to get us to buy proxies
>>98616164I do hope we’ll get a cute dwarf this time with them. Helsmiths had that one champion gunner who had that jimiko vibe to her.
>>98616136an old morathifag would avatarfag using homestuck. he ate his pants after losing a bet over something most well adjusted troon
>>98616246I don't think it's a matter of console war, as much as that there is probably at least one anon that visits both threads and feels the compulsion to talk about the reveals, and since the threads are slow he does so in both threadsogres were posted there on reveal too, I don't think he was begging anyone to buy anything in that case or this one
ai cogfort conversion posters became real quiet after the kit released
>>98616264Nigga have you seen the actually walking Nurgle one? Better than anything this thread could imagin
>>98616271yes, it was one Japanese man spamming that shit on reddit
I don’t trust GW to, but I hope the end edition narrative is remotely entertaining. Dawnbringers was a such a nothing series.
>>98616252Dwarf women are indeed peak. I am satisfied with this answer
>>98616264I have seen a few people unironically printing slop cogforts, but I refuse to share those here, so know that they exist, if it somehow changes your mind about whatever opinion you have formulated
>>98616275>JapaneseTheir love for Warhammer is kind of surprising honestly
>>98616264The ai cogforts were always retarded because they did retarded ai shit. Like are you really going to sculpt a whole sandy beach tower pattern on your chassis? That's not how you realistically do an idoneth cogfort I've seen plenty of cogfort conversions but they've all been more sensible minor ones instead of the total overhauls ai used to make
>>98615953Putting aside my bias as a DoK, I'd be inclined to actually give a shit about Miao Ying, and Cathay more generally, if they took part in the kinds of politicking, state espionage, and cultural peculiarities that made historical Chinese dynasties interesting.>>98616164Am I losing my mind, but didn't fyreslayers used to have female dwarfs in their units? For some reason, I remember the basic bitch berzerker unit having fem-dwarfs.
>>98616350>Am I losing my mind, but didn't fyreslayers used to have female dwarfs in their units? For some reason, I remember the basic bitch berzerker unit having fem-dwarfs.No. The only female Fyreslayers so far are the two in the warcry unit.
>>98613975>>98613985>>98614045>>98614234>Slog editionMore like slop edition, which is what Age of Shitemar is - sloppified woke-friendly Fantasy.Looking forward to seeing GW kill it off soon. I will laugh and laugh :)
>98616373Back to /twg/ with you sir
>>98616350>>98616367There was an old art of a fem vulkite several years before Warcry
>>98616373What end times lord are you playing first anon?
I'm frankly more offended he didn't say shitmar, like "shitemar" doesn't even work with the bit. There's also Smegmar but again didn't go for the easy bits for some reason.
You reckon they're gonna make blades of khorne more mechanical
>>98616572no
>>98616350The flameseekers are still the only female fyreslayer miniatures (for now). Though I think there might have been some soulbound art before that.As for miniatures, maybe somebody was using some third party stuff. Man I hope khazalids look good. I legit have no idea what they're going to look like. Hopefully still distinct enough to not just be whfb dwarfs 2.0>>98616572I feel like they're going to do some more tribal sacrifice stuff with them. Like the ritualist or dromm.
>>98616640That art is rad as hell.
>>98616640This shit feels a bit too off from fyreslayers, specifically the mask, and the hair being literal fire.
This one is suposedly a fem-fyre, but one the 2nd look her fashion is compleatly wrong.No helmet, random furr, i think it's just runes edited on wfb art
>>98616656It's definitely different but in a good way imo. I'm a bit biased since I like all this guy's fanmade concept art. Had a bunch of cool stormcast stuff too.Behold, your new khazalid infantry.
>>98616640>flameseekers are still the only female fyreslayer miniaturesAnd I imagine they will continue to be, as FS shares the same "get fucked" range releases space that DoK, IDK, and KO are in.>maybe somebody was using some third party stuffIt's weird because I distinctly remember people discussing fem fyreslayers and posting pictures of them a few years ago (maybe around or a little before 2020). I vividly remember those pictures too.
>>98616770I cant fathom why gw is so afraid of full faceplate helmets.
>>98616786>And I imagine they will continue to be, as FS shares the same "get fucked" range releases space that DoK, IDK, and KO are inAnon, you're going to want to take a seat for this...>>98616843The city of sigmar fusilier ones have some really cool ones that instantly make their goofy helmets look 10x times cooler but they don't advertise these, like at all. I don't think there's any closeup pictures of these or anything on the webstore or box. Should've used this design on the steelhelms too.
>>98616882>Anon, you're going to want to take a seat for this...Go on.
are magmadroths really that small .
>>98617035So Fyreslayers are getting mulched and slapped into a new generic dwarf faction. With basically all the old foot heroes (2 handed axe nerd, guy with beard and no mustache, guy with pokey stick and axe) and the old berserkers. They will then be slapped into something called "khazlid holds" wherein from what is being said they will just be the old generic dwarf faction with slayers in tow.
>>98617036They are mounts for dwarfs after all
>>98617035Is that last one real I couldn’t tell>>98617036I kind of like the idea of some of them being bite sized while others are huge
>>98617035Well, according to leakers, fyreslayers are either getting a major expansion or cucked depending on how you look at things.Essentially, they will get merged into a new faction together with basically new Dispossessed models. This new faction (khazalid holds seems to be the name) will apparently be quite ancestor god focused, and fyreslayers will essentially become the "grimnir part" of the army. Most of the new releases will be focused on the non-fyreslayer dwarfs, but they will also get at least one new unit too; a new type of magmadroth. They are unfortunately losing some models, the basic vulkite berzerkers, and three heroes (grimwrath berserker, doomseeker, auric runemaster).As for the new dwarfs, it's not entirely clear how exactly they'll look but they'll apparently be pretty classic dwarfs. How exactly that shakes out is hard to tell, after all, you could describe lumineth as classic high elves. Apparently there will be a fair amount of runic stuff involved, for example on the recent rumour engines was described by rumour mongers to be part of some magic flying boat thing (aka, a throne of power. Picrel)So yeah big things are happening to fyreslayers, but not necessarily good things depending on how into the specific slayer thing you were.>>98617036I thought the glutthorn on the left was an anteater conversion from the thumbnail lmao
>>98617035Missed Chees
>>98614797There are absolutely witch hunters, and the Order of Azyr's primary job is rooting out Chaos cults in the cities
>>98617036They're an average size maybe even a bit above average.
>>98617047>With basically all the old foot heroes (2 handed axe nerd, guy with beard and no mustache, guy with pokey stick and axe) and the old berserkersSorry I should have mentioned those are the units getting squatted, so basically elite infantry, droths, and a few heroes will survive the shift.
>>98617078Damn to me this shows how huge the gnashtoof + rider are
>>98617047>Fyreslayers are getting mulchedHas this actually been confirmed? Good if true, though. Slayers should never have been split into their own independent faction. They're a niche element of broader culture, so cutting them away from it pigeonholes them too much.>>98617219>be quite ancestor god focusedI hope this is the case. It'd be cool to see a dwarf roster divided between, and designed around, the different aspects of Grungni, Grimnir, and Valaya - with Grimnir being the more warrior aspect (i.e. FS), Grungni being technical, and Valaya being support/defense.Honestly, I think that's part of the reason why I don't like the Hellsmith releases. It feels to me like they failed to really expand upon established chorf stuff in meaningful and interesting ways. For example, I'm fine with having female dwarfs in the mix, but I wish they were integrated in a way that's relevant to the culture. Like, where are my suicide squads of old or infertile chorf women for Hellsmiths? Where are my fertile priestesses of Hushut or slave driving matrons?
>>98617350I mean it's as confirmed as anything else from these leaks so yes**open to interpretation as to what comes out.
>>98617350>Has this actually been confirmed?The same leakers who correctly leaked, among other things, the nurgle, cos, and recent ogre releases are where all this information is coming from.Although in general we know less about this dwarf release than we do about those others; we had descriptions of all the new units months in advance. For cos and ogres we even had some pics. For fyreslayers we have very little information on any of the new units themselves.Reveal shouldn't be too far off at this point, we've been getting lots of dwarf rumour engines and lately those haven't lasted long.When's the next show? Do we know tbaf yet?
>>98617431Next show should be LVO in October if they don’t do an individual stream beforehand. We’re gonna be in a bit of a drought while 11e rolls out.
>>98617438Mhyea three months between reveal shows isn't that bad. We still might get seraphon revealed before (though I think one of the mongers stated they would get their tome AFTER dorfs). Anything small for tow in the pipeline? I assume all the new tomb king shit will be the big tow item at lvo then.
>>98617431It's been quite refreshing not knowing anything about them, it adds a nice air of mystery and we get to come up with wild speculation that we couldn't do with many of the other releases recently. Personally I'm hoping for some old, wizened dwarf on a cavalry base because his beard is so gosh darn long
>>98617566How does that armor stay on a squig
>>98617528Yeah I get what you mean, rumours are nice but it's nice to be left in the dark sometimes. Speculation is fun. Similarly, we know dickall about the end of edition units/waves iirc.As for dwarfs, I do hope they do *something* interesting with them that'll set them apart from whfb dwarfs. Maybe something like that rounded "onion-style" armour that sometimes gets posted here, or something like picrel, or just yeah something different. Don't want them to be a kharadron style complete reinvention or anything, but just a bit of uniqueness would be my preference. Maybe make them draconic, that'd be cool. For fyreslayers specifically I'd mostly just like a droth cav unit and a full unit of drothblood berzerkers.>on a cav base because his beard is so longLel great idea. Would be some shit they'd do for underworlds
>>98617571welded on>>98617566>Birthday in Novemberyeah that tracks
>>98617575>I do hope they do *something* interesting with them that'll set them apart from whfb dwarfsSurely they will. With how needlessly autistic they've been about keeping AoS and TOW completely separate I can't see them just doing basic dwarfs again but on rounds, there has to be some flourish to distinguish them
I can't for the life of me find a color scheme for my ironjawz that i'm satisfied with, i already tried all metal, black, red and bone for the armor. Does anyone have any suggestions for diferent color schemes? I have been thinking of trying out copper colors for the armor this time.
>>98617566Where's the august one from? Cute critter.>>98617571Has spikes on the underside, like an iron maiden. That’s why it's so mad Speaking of, nighthaunt should totally incorporate an iron maiden into a design somewhere
>>98617606Have you tried yellow? I mean they're fantasy orks. You can have the freedom to have more varied armor colors.
>>98617601I hope so. The darkwater dwarf was pretty ugly and boring, so I hope they're not taking cues from him.>>98617606Have you tried looking at some early tomes? Those are usually chock-full of colour schemes.
>>98617606Black but everything up to the knee/chest is orange and painted like flames because they like torching stuff
>>98617606Have you considered painting them with black armor and red skin?
>>98617646Do you have a link for the older tomes so i can have a look?
>>98617610>nighthaunt should totally incorporate an iron maiden into a design somewhereCOME. JOIN. US.
>>98617606Most schemes fail because they use one color exclusively or too much or forget that there's a greenskin wearing the armour so don't take into account how that green weights on the palette.Ideally you don't want to paint all the plates the same or even color code the plate types.Ideally red should be part of the colour scheme to work as contrast to the green.Ideally you want dark gritty dirty colours because these are orcs and not elves.Ideally you also want to make use of patterns, warpaints and symbols.
>>98617606Obilgatory
>>98617606Ice Ironjawz are always cool, since the armor is all craggly and their weapons are both sharpened but craggly too.
>>98617078Jesus Christ They sell them for £60 too
>>98617682I never really considered this but now want it. One thing I have wanted is some asian inspired ghost, maybe something relating to Cathay.
>>98617736Can't sell ghosts to China.
>>98617736> some asian inspired ghost
>>98617606I have never cared for the yellow scheme. Tolerated it in 40k but in AoS I do not like it.
>>98617757Thanks for the suggestion Anon

>>98613985The biggest difference is the subdued lack of danger afaik.
>>98620377I watched it in IMAX, so while the action choreography was bad, the general spectacle of it worked. But tying the Bronze Age collapse and the Sea Peoples to Odysseus' action at Troy was dumb, and then emphasising it with that soliloquy to Persephone just made it even worse
>>98620345same

>>98620598Yep, and TCGs cycle faster alongside an inherent purchasing pool like draft Two Warhammer players Vs six-to-eight TCG
>>98620462I liked the sea peoples being essentially returning veterans from the trojan war but yeah that speech was pretty stilted
What would Rotmire Chaos Warriors/Rotswords look like?
>>98620631the same as normal rotswords
>>98620659Normal rotswords don't come from mires.
>>98620631The helmet is the back of a skullThe weapon is a bone-spiked maceThe shield is a bamboo oneThe armour has some plates made of wood (pauldron, thigh plates)The "coins" are slightly roughed up and painted like shellsif you want to stay with something easy to do
>>98620669It doesn't matter where a chaosfag comes from, the more they walk the path to glory the more they lose their identity and roots to align with the patron's.They more or less homogenise by the time they become chaos warriors/blood warriors/rotswords/whatever.
>>98620588The AoS card game was weird because they didn't let you play it in stores back when playing in stores was a thing at GW and how people got inot the hobby. It just seems such a stupid move to not encourage your stores to do a card game night to try and get people into it if they were really trying to push it.
>>98620675I think they'd be more like picrel alongside the quilted gambeson Africans used. Of course Nurgle blessings fortify the person so the absence of full heavy plate can be overlooked They'd still have the iconic chaos helms, though
>>98620707Did they even sell it in GW stores?
>>98620678The more interesting hypothetical is what, say, coiling ones or everburning flame chaos warrior equivalents would look like. Assuming their warcry warbands are essentially just their "high-tier" marauders, like what savagers are to normal darkoath.
>>98620675
>>98620716No, GW licensed it so basically unrelated to their stores. It was just a shallow attempt to profit off hearthstone, TCGs, and that ARG craze. Profit potential buzzwords from a soulless company who made an engine builder TCG of all things. It wasn't terrible but of course it died for a reason and I don't even think moderate popularity would save it because they were after hearthstone money
>>98620725SOVL
>>98620730Okay, so it wasn't an original Warcry/ 40k TCG situation where it was produced in-house by GW(via a fully owned subsidiary), but I don't know if those games were sold at GW stores or if you were allowed to play them in there either
>>98620725VGHseriously good job anon
>>98617685>black rusty-metal and sort of tannish green skinKinda goes hard. Also, damn, the ardboys really are sick models aren't they
>>98618403brutekino...What model is the gorkamorka golem? And what rules (if any) do you use for it?
>>98620759The base is some golem that puppetswar used to sell that I had for a long time. It’s meant to be a kragnos proxy
>>98620345Honestly, I thought the speech was amazing, I was legitimately tearing up. And then he said "Our age of bronze" and I instantly stopped. That movie was such an odd blend of real and thoughtful writing and "You're a big guy"-tier nonsense. Someone needs to reel Nolan in. I guess it fits, because the movie's editing was also extremely disjointed. It's a shame cause I thought it was quite good overall>>98619810kekked
>>98620574There's actually a new store opening in my city this weekend, which is nice. Seems to be more of a pokemon tgc / general "geek" store that stocks a token amount of warhammer (like every other store in this country for some reason) but still.
>>98620716Yeah I remember specifically because when me and my mate were told not to play it the guy even said "Yeah guys I know it's weird because we sell it in store but..."
>>98620574GW fucks up retailers hard as far as I know, and people prefer buying online or second hand unless the store has a 20/25/30% discount, which at that point is just a way to turn customers into friends so they end up buying painting supplies and other stuff there rather than elsewhere.
>>98620812The issue with stocking warhammer isn't necesarily the pricing, the wholesale prices start at 50% of RRP and they're open to negotiating below that. The issue comes from the fact that if you stock Warhamer they really try and push you to becoming a primarily Warhammer store, strong arming you into giving warhammer x% of your shelf space etc.. For a lot of people it's just not worth it dealing with GW's shit for all that.
>>98620825What country are you describing? Those practices sound like more of a distributor thing, so should vary by country or region.I don't doubt it's true for your region, and it's sounds like a hassle for small lgs.
>>98620825Yeah my lgs has like half their store dedicated to warhammer even though it doesn't move at all. Even 40k, doesn't really matter which system. There's still dominion boxes there, and a fuckton of battleforces from both aos and 40k. They're not hurting for space so that's not an issue, but I can't imagine it's worth all this hassle just to sell a box or two every two weeks.Still has some whfb blisters too.
>>98620870My sister owns a book shop and they asked her if she wanted to sell it (she wouldn't have wanted to anyway), granted this was second edition so things might well have changed in the meantime.
>only 30 players globally according to tournaments Why did Spearhead flop? I thought everyone liked it?
>>98620947It doesn't sound like a tournament format to me
>>98620957All games are tournament format
>>98620947Spearhead is like the jokes that come with the laffy taffy, it has no inherent effect on the main product I am there to consume.
>>98620960I disagree
>>98620947I'd guess it's probably the fact that a format designed for intro games isn't popular at the highest competitive level?
>>98620957it isn't thematic either
Speaking of, how does the gitmob spearhead play
>>98621062No one plays spearhead. you won't find any videos discussing the rules only the economic value
says it's SoB artwork next week so I guess this Sunday it's going to be SoB, maybe that game also comes in that release >https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/oxtznrop/warhammer-art-through-the-years-houses-escher-and-goliath/
>>98620947funny how pretty much everyone turned on him in the comment section lol
>>98621109They didnt really, just that spearhead got them to play the game to begin with. I dont disagree with the video itself, would be nice for spearhead to have more customization.
>>98621087Not that SoB
>>98621109I can't believe he's crying about terrain considering he sells cancer radial objectives and only runs mirrored l shaped ruins at his tournaments (and tries to force the TOW community to implement it as a standard) Absolute tosser
>>98620947
>>98621165I like Rob for giving me streams and basic god awful reviews on books where he just wings it and half the time overestimates the bad shit and underestimates the best shit.But also he shits on SoB so he can piss off.
>>98621154He also talks about "building your own armies" while advocating to only play the best things and to copy lists from tournaments. He is a hypocrite.
>>98620462Kind of glad I didn’t see it honestly but man the base concept of it had potential
>>98621344It's a decent movie and worth seeing for the spectacle of it, but it's very flawed and that's mostly just due to weird narrative decisions on Nolan's part
>>98621062https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU9nDb4y-jghere ya go
>>98621267He said people probably aren't putting effort into painting but he's known for slopchop
>>98620199They’re a bit middle of the road in terms of difficulty, they’re bones so that’s as easy or as hard as you want it to be instead of flesh which is just hard. But they also have full armor and equipment with lots of overlapping bits and bobs, so you gotta choose your scheme carefully cause if you go for a clean look it’s a real pain but a more gritty look can be a lot easier.
For painting stormvermin I want to give them a metallic red look for their armor. What’s the best way to achieve this? I tried leadbelcher base plus a blood angels contrast layer and it looks good but a little less metallic/shiny than I would prefer. I think my issue might have been doing only one coat of leadbelcher.
>>98621470you can kinda get the effect by drybrushing some silver on so it looks more like the edges and underside are metallic!
>>98621469AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHEITHER LET ME GET INSIDE THE GODDAMN SPACESHIP OR LET ME GET OUT OF THE GNARLWOODSAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
>>98621474Thank you! Any specific paint I should use or is leadbelcher fine?
>>98621534different anon, but for edge highlights or drybrushing using a lighter silver color can work, in terms of citadel stormhost silver works super well!also post pics of your stormvermin when you're done, i love the funny rats
>>98621470You could also try a red wash so the red doesn’t take over as much as a contrast would. Then do as many layers up to where you want it. Starting with a brighter silver might help as well
>>98620947Rob is such a raging faggot. Dude is mildly popular for being quick to the AoS news and acts like the messiah. I’ve never once seen him handle a disagreement better than a child could.
>>98621888He's the closest thing we have to an AOS youtuber. Which really fucking sucks since he's such a dickhead.
>>98621619>>98621656Thanks for the advice anons. I haven’t actually started on the stormvermin themselves yet and have practiced on clanrats since I’m new to this hobby only having started 3-4 weeks ago. Since stormvermin are my favorite guys I do not want to fuck them up. Here’s the clanrats so far that have been my guinea pigs. Left was mephiston red plus nuln oil and I think it looks alright for metal. Right it leadbelcher plus blood angels red. I like the look but getting it shinier would be nice. I’ve got more rats to paint so I’ll test out your ideas.
>>98621933Cont: also here’s my prosecutors which are my best paintjob so far. I really like these guys. Only area I’m miffed about is the wings since the wash was applied pretty sloppily.
>>98621958Heh, did ya use invisible ink
>>98621961Fuck I’m retarded
>>98621967heh, are ya posting from australia
>>98621967Genuinely wtf it’s rightside up in my photo album
>>98621979Crop it by like 1 pixel in any direction.
>>98621983Please for the love of god
>>98621986What the fuck did you do differently besides crop it? Now it's tiny lmao.
>>98621986Good for a laugh man haha, but honestly not too shabby! I'm not always a fan of gold stormcast but I think you did a good job.>>98621993it's fine don't worry dawg
>>98621979>>98621967It's related to how this site handles photos with meta-data attached.
>>98621993I screenshotted it when it was in my photo album. Quality is worse but at least you don’t have to flip your monitor. Will post a clanrat pic when it’s all done.
>>98622008Ah. Yeah. Literally just crop it the smallest amount and post it like you normally would. I don't know the specifics of why, but it just works.
>>98622007Robes are too blue. Nurgle armor is too yellow without any green.
>>98621469>>98621482What’s happening here
>>98622007Cool
>>98622106Old art depicting how shit it is to go through Ghur and the various nightmare jungles that make it up.
>>98622106In Ghur everything wants ot eat you, including trees, which are fleshy and have organs because this is a world of fauna, not flora.Additionally alien spaceship with terraforming abilities might have crash landed in a forest and put its growth in overdrive
>>98622195damn i didn't know karbo was a worldbuilder for AoS
What is the likelihood of ever seeing a 'normal' orruk ever again? It feels weird that they all fall into 'roided out big uns' or 'swamp-dwelling psycho cunts' with no real baseline.Ironjawz are described as the biggest, and Kruleboyz as the lankiest, but what about the massive majority in the middle?
>>98622314Almost nil, outside of specialist games spilling over (like Warhammer Quest.)
>>98622314bonesplitters were fine for that. Then they were taken.
>>98622337They werent normal "civilian" greenskin either.If your only criterion is "they aren't as big as Ironjawz' then you already have Ardboyz, who aren't real Ironjawz
>>98622386Ardboys were originally different but now they are just Ironjawz
>>98622403ardboys are not big enough to pound metal into armour they are not real brutes
>>98622314We should've kept boarboys. Ironjawz is all about nomadic movement so it makes sense the weakest groupies would use boars to catch up. They could later be expanded into their own subfaction, maybe. TOW happened though so RIP.
>>98622403No retard, their lore hasn't changed. They can't bend armor by themselves = not a jaw
>>98622447>We should've kept boarboyseh...nah. Maybe theres an argument for a chariot, but of all things that had to leave to give to tow thats one thing that felt out of place in AOS. Maybe wild herd of boars could be a thing.
Cog forts for everone is a trap isnt it?Theyre just trying to sell as many as possible, but eventually when the hype dies down, its just a COS model.Are cogforts in any battletomes besides COS anyway?I was thinking of getting one for my gitmob, but Im afraid of the rugpull.
>>98622599They didn't rug pull the feature from imperial knights or giants.
>>98622599They’re a trap in that not every army even really wants one and the rules are honestly just so-so for what it is. Anyways it’s likely going to be allied in other armies no matter what because it seems regiments of renown are going to be hamfisted as the ally system for Aos for better or for worse. Even if they do change how allies work (they won’t, let’s be real) they won’t completely disregard the option because at the end of the day gw wants you to own multiple bits of different armies, although regiments of renown seem to be the worst case of them trying to sell that idea overall.
>>98622599Good thing I also have a COS army, but the ghoul fort will remain no matter what.A shame the last time I played and the first time I used it I got absolutely fucking creamed and haven't wanted to play another game...
>>98622460Who bends their armour for them, then? Read the book. They only have a passing reference to them not being true blue brutes and the lowest rung of Ironjawz society but the old fluff was retconned - obviously because they gave them Ironjawz's armour anyway
>>98622599Yeah. 5th will abstract more so RoR will be discontinued
Anyone gone to their Warhammer store to ask what the replacement for mini of the month officially is?
>>98622734New collection of minis they sell separately but will use throughout the season AoS and 40k have intro boxes for getting started So you get a sprue with skeletons, a knight, an Aelf, a Daemon, whatever or come into the store to get the 1/6 they're selling that month
>>98622818they're giving away I mean it's like a WHQuest sprue and get a hero for free but they're all giving the same hero out that month rather than pick one you want
>>98622818>>98622825Is it going to have the make you build & paint it in store policy though?
>>98622695i've absolutely had games like that so i feel you anonwho were you playing against and what happened?
>>98622853If they’re making you buy it I would hope not.
>>98622857Nurgle with my FEC army, I didn't go monster mash this time and uh I regret that quite a bit because they had this nightmare block of rotswords/rotigus so it was like turbo buffed murder block that was literally unkillable. I remember I all out attacked with ush hit every attack and they still shrugged it off with 2 rotswords showing up.
>>98622698>Who bends their armour for them, then?There's literally a blacksmith named character in the army. The profession obviously exists
>>98622599>Mega Gargants for everone is a trap isnt it?>Theyre just trying to sell as many as possible, but eventually when the hype dies down, its just a SOB model.>Are megagargants in any battletomes besides SOB anyway?>I was thinking of getting one for my gitmob, but Im afraid of the rugpull.
>>98622865oof yeah that sucks, nurgle seems like an army that can counter you very hard if you just lack the damage or bodies, but some games end up like that. hopefully the other player was chill though, you can't win them all and all that
>>98622195>>98622143That’s actually kinda cool. It’s basically the Lustria/Catachan equivalent then? Ghur in general seems like it has the most potential to set some cool stories in
>>98621888hes also a dirty commie which is far worse than being a terrible content creator
>>98622853yep>>98622858you CAN buy it separately, otherwise it's 1 mini a month free
>>98622910>Ghoul and Fyreslayer mercenary companies in 2e fool me once
>>98623067Building is one thing though already stupid if you want it to cure correctly. Asking you to paint it in store is stupid. This is gonna kill foot traffic.
>>98623085At my lgs they only offer it to newbies as a tutorial (if they spend over £35). They teach you how to build it and make you paint it before they put it in a cardboard box for you to take home. I asked for it, bought paints and gitz, told him what I wanted and then he says "I've seen you before, it's for newcomers only". What a cunt.
>>98623071For what it’s worth, that’s still in the game, not even legends. The RoR profile that is.
>>98622250/tg/ makes the link from Karbo to people working at GW realy short actually
>>98622599>Cog forts for everone is a trap isnt it?yes
>>98623118All RoR from Dawnbringers and prior is legends is it not? They're not in the usual RoR sections
>>98623336>All RoR from Dawnbringers and prior is legends is it not?No, and neither are the army of renown’s.
>>98623281>"yeah the new black library book about the sons of behemat is pretty good, but if spends a LOT of time focusing on the sexy girl gargants eating and digesting people"
Anyone know if the leftover arms and heads from the funny guns or flamethrowers can be slapped onto the spear guy bodies so I can buy 2 boxes of blunderbusses for the extra thingy I got.
>>98623794Yeah, its what I plan on doing too. There is one set of arms that are kinda tricky to stick on them though, I cant recall which one it is though, but a little bit of cutting and green stuff will do.
>>98623794Went and counted the bits on the webstore images of the sprues. Looks like they might.
>>98623794>>98623836https://buildinstructions.com/pdf-downloads/Helsmiths-of-Hashut-Infernal-Razers.pdfMake sure for yourself with the instructions.
>>98622314Aren't Ardboyz 'normal' orruks who simp for the gorkiest brutes and such? They compensate for this by being slightly more tactical and such.
Destruction needs more fantasy creatures in them.
>>98623393based speedreader 0% comprehension 100% confidence
>>98623869I don't think there is any non-fantasy creature in the whole grand alliance.Even the wolves are giant and venomous.
>>98623850>>98623836So red is gun arm, green is flamethrower, green and brown is flamethrower arm(?) and brown is just arms. I think there's enough(?) help me, am I rarted.
>>98623862No. >>98622900He's a prominent named character because it's a rarity.
>>98623907Blunderbusses use (6/7/8), (19/20/21), (29/30/31), (40/41/42), and (51/52/53/54). Flamehurlers use (9/10/11), (23/24/25), (33,34,35), (43,44,45), and (55/56/57). There is also 12 head bits.
>>98623930so exactly enough! wahey, good shit homey. Thank you.
>>98623869Ironjaws need Irongits, something like a cross between the Moria goblin Blackshields and the Blood Bowl Black Orc Goblins, give them a fun rule where a Brute can throw them at an enemy to deal a couple mortalsAlso give us an Idol of Gork with the option to build a Idol of Mork
decided to work on a bit of the SCE side of the skaventide box so i'm not just working on rats 24/7, holy hell the stormcast are big lads. guess it makes them easier to paint alongside them being almost completely metallic colors
>>98624196Ironjawz need bigger Brutes who can throw Ardboyz into battle
>>98621062One of the better ones iirc because you just zoom across the board at that size. Despite the other anon seething there's plenty of gameplay tier list videos online if you're interested
>>98624689>guess it makes them easier to paint alongside them being almost completely metallic colorsThat's the idea
How come he's one of the top 5 minis GW has released in the last 5 years when most COS are so-so?
>>98625144Honse
>>98625144I rather like the entire range, but:Despite being busy, he's not gaudy like the rest of the range. Just a well executed concept.
>>98625147That's right.
>>98622599>Cog forts for everone is a trap isnt it?Might be, but worst case scenario is you get to build and customize a sick fucking mini, isn't it?
>>98625144That's your opinion mate Funny thing is everyone has one
>>98625355Please don't talk like a redshirt trying to sell a product, it's insulting.
>>98625355Anon when you grow up you'll realise three years pass in the blink of an eye He'll never play with it
>>98613975New>>98625658 >>98625658 >>98625658
>>98625660Isn’t this early?
