(Without buying multiple other paints to mix)
>>98782653>TQNot really a color but I do miss GWs older hexpots. They were easier to digest.

It's week into October, post your Ghasts and Ghouls
>>98782720I only have one
How long until battleforce leaks?
>>98782859It should be announced soon-ish anyway
>Greenskin starter in 40k right now>still no Orktober
>>98782696Words to live by
>>98782682>You're not supposed to eat paint AnonThat's what Big Paint wants you to think. Drinking Nuln oil opens your pineal gland and allows transcend to the 5th dimension and join the battle for the soul of humanity.>>98782781I hate this kit. It's finicky as fuck to put together and it has a lot of weird gaps in it that are a bitch to fill.
>>98781412>>98781444Damn anon, starting to come together Impressive stuff
>>98782891GreenSkin reveal today?
>>98782720Always dig a nice bronze>>98782781Well the one you've got came out quite nicely, love the variation on the roses
>>98782665>>98782682>>98782913gooning is my life
>>98782891boole said Ironjawz are to get a new big named hero but there could be more
>>98782665>>98782682>>98782913Which cute AoS character is this? :O
>>98783011not in orctober though, it's too soon for that
>>98783033pukey-goddess-shot-trick-femme-soule.gif, according to the file name. I just assume it's another vtumor based on the extremely overdesigned aesthetic, like the guy in 40k threads who spams the word bearer with rat ears.
So what happened to all the prominent Skaven from Fantasy in AoS? Snikch? Thanquol? Ikit? Queek? Throt? All dead or did some survive? Also do we have any examples of how powerful Verminlords are? Have they done anything cool or major yet?
>>98783006I want armored idk infantry, love that drawing. idk and soulblight gravelords are my fav factions. Though I want less shark riders stuff and more having them as horrific beasts they barely control and unleash on the battlefield (like merwyrn style weird stuff or maybe a burrowing bobbit worm)
>>98783062thanquol is still around because of great horned rat bullshitikit survived somehow, is now called ikrit, basically a skaven cyborg now with all his modifications to stay alive. Appeared in a novel iirc where he attempted to reverse-engineer stormcast immortalityall the rest dead afaik
>>98783045Dawnbringers started in July you muppet
>>98783062Didn't most of them die in End Times? Queer Headgiver's souls is traped somewhere, but Sigvald cucked him in the "one dead character cheats death" poll 8 years ago
>>98783033that is my wife himeyukipinkyu-chan she is a vtuber, you may know her voice as Johnny67 that guy who used to make angry videos where he'd shout about video games
>>98783085July is already over
>>98783096Must've cancelled the end of edition books :(
>>98783062which skaven unit is this
>>98782665>>98782682Ive been listening to the trailer music on repeat, interested in the game.Forgot the name but its about you having a drinking competition for your soul against a demon who is madly in love/obsessed with you.
>>98783112cute fanart for a moulder fraenkyn fleshterror
>>98783085Lets say, hypothetically, the first book of these end times2.0 gets released in October.Do you think that's going to be the book with the ironjaw character? When we know one of the opening moves of that campaign is lizardmen and dwarfs making an attack against chaos? And that we have a skink character and a large wave of dwarf models already announced and waiting for a release date?Do you think they are going to cram both the skink, the dwarfs and the ironjaw character in this one month? Do you think the ironjaw is simply going to get released before them this month?Do everyone a favour and get muppets out of your mouth, you're the only one with a hand stuck in his ass here.
>>98783062Skaven life expectancy is like 40, its fucking ludicrous that any of them would even survive past ET, much less the thousands of years leading up to AoS.WFB Ikit was a few centuries which was considered a freak outlier and entirely due to his augmetics.The idea that Skaven tech hasn't progressed at all in that time is already very silly, but for it to also have the same big names is just fucking lazy.
>>98783068It's kind of funny there's not really a Beastmasters gimmick anywhere in AoS anymore since they retired the dark elves stuff from CoS. You have random monsters on chains here and there but no real beast units outside of mounts and dogs.
>>98783148
>>98783126Yeah, when Dawnbringers first came out they didn't release any new models because FEC and CoS were released around then
>>98783147>40queek was considered an old skaven during the end timeshe was 10 back thenthe actually important rats like the council of 13 live on thanks to an elixir of immortality, or divine backing
>>98783156More monsters for KB. Where is my mire drake?
>>98783148these grots are herded by squigs
>>98783062Skaven are so soulful brosI know they’re secondary bait at this point but I can’t help but love the bastards
>>98772229Basically yes post more :)
>>98783208you shouldn't hate the skaven because of the skavenfagseveryone knows skaven are cool, despite their fags
>>98782653I don’t get it. Why are they green?
>>98783062I believe queen headtaker should have come over too. I think he dies during end times but easily could have been revived and turned into the horned rats personal skulltaker/karanak just to spite khorne

>>98783253>white woman >mutilated to prevent childbirth powerful!
>>98783253yuck
>>98783253I guess that was to be expected
>>98783253eh, she's not bad, but she's not great either, just another forgettable mini
>>98783253Why did GE give up on sculpting fine details?
>>98783257Christ anon what the fuck
>>98783257You gotta go outside man
>>98783257The c-section scar is traditional
>>98783278It's an event only mini, that shit was likely unfinished WIP/test model
>>98783279I'm kidding but that is the fluff of warqueens. Reminds me of the Khorne champion Gotrek killed
>>98783257>>98783284it's something that happens when you don't armour up your abdomen and don't have rock hard abs that deflect bows with the rule of cool
>>98783253>>98783285I'm guessing she was considered for the Goon Squad
>>98783288Nah, it's obviously a sacrificial ritual or having birthed a monstrous child
>>98783296Have these guys done anything yet to fix turning everything the setting into Skaven everywhere
>>98783306Gunnar took an oath to murder rats.>fixThat's not a thing they do.
>>98783338I vaguely recall him being shocked the Skaven acted like Skaven and he raped his home so he swears to fuck they over or something
>>98783361Entirely a black library invention
>>98783253Overall pretty cool except her hair texture looks like dogshit for some reason? What's up with that?>>98783296It's funny how every single darkoath marauder sculpt that isn't the ACTUAL darkoath marauder box looks 20 times better.
>>98783253hair texture looks fucked as the other anon said but i actually do like this one a lot
>>98783338Excuse me there isn’t a single problem killing rats won’t fix
>>98783461The way they chose to go about it was to kill Sigmarites instead.
>>98782720I only own a single boner painted a few years ago now.
>>98783253>many trophies and fetishes hanging from her beltUhm...
>>98783062Verminlord are greater demon equivalent, council of 13 got turned into SkreechThanquol is the great horned rats funniest guy so he will never die I believe ikkit claw is still around but some weird shit

>>98783683>Nipples hiddenAll you need to know
>Had a dream where GW announced they'd temporarily rerelease some of the old warcry warbands in preparation for 3rd edition>Wake up>Check warcom>Generic darkoath modelFuuuuuckkkkkkkkkkkk
Wonder when they'll announce the end-of-edition campaign. Gotta be within the month or so if they plan to drop three or four books before they move on to the new edition rollout next summer.
>>98783698They will, just like they did for UW and Kill Team. It's an internal policy for the low demand games where releases are infrequent next to main games. We're getting a new rulebook and warscroll catalogue with fluffy stuff in a box with terrain alongside bundles of Vs boxes which satisfies the rules for allies and narrative progression. Ogres and Ironjawz get a box too but it's existing units, nothing new.
>>98783683at some point, you just gotta accept that women look like that as far as warhammer minis are concerned, just like this is a woman as far as stick figures are concerned.
>>98783708If I were gw, knowing that the sheep customers will go in a panic or freeze their purchases the moment the rumors are confirmed even further, I'd delay the books as much as possible and roll them out very fast in the span of like 3 or 4 months early next year and immediately follow them up with an uplifting reveal of the new edition to regroup the sheep into a hype train.
>>98783708Depends, 3rd edition was revealing stuff in May but 40k the year prior was in March.
>>98783756They wouldn't bother if sales weren't good. I doubt AoS sells tbhon because I never hear anything praise the fluff within but 40k EoE sells gangbusters so they have to do the same thing every edition on the off chance it works
>>98783253Still prefer the original, and there are some merits to the model, but eh.
>>98783756Eh piggies gonna piggy, I doubt the average consumer gives much of a shit as long as the minis look good. This applies to Aos most of all.Somebody post the pic of the infamous whfb army burner guy buying stormcast to proxy them as ogres.
nighthaunts keep feeling like they're not using most of their potential as a factionhow do you fix that when gw doesn't seem like they want to invest in the faction anymore?
>>98784079Stop limiting themselves to bedsheet ghosts. They could do headless horsemen ghosts, animated armor, even ghostly animals.
She?
>>98784098Lmfao she literally has a fucking 5 o clock shadow
>>98784095A dullahan would be fucking rad
>>98784130Women can have beards too. Ever heard of bearded ladies?
>>98784079I consider their releases perfectly acceptable quality, mzin issue is that they keep making infantry instead of adding more horseman or larger units
>>98784162wait, that ghost's hot
>>98784098I will not collect darkoath for she
>a third Sylvaneth battleforce has hit the lgs (this December)Why are trees so unpopular nowadays?
I love Nighthaunt but exclusively use them for AI controlled skirmish games. An army of them just seems boring
>>98784288>Oops! All Treelords and Kurnoth Hunters!Honestly not a bad box.
>>98783216
>>98784288They aren't unpopular, they are basically the most successful elven faction by ratio of reddit following per actual kitWhich is the only metric we have to say anything about anything unfortunately
>>98784098Why are the marxist activist sculptors afraid to depict women with breasts?
>>98784382Because they are not risking HR for minimum pay work.
>>98783727The 'eavy metal style fucking sucks at handling faces, but there is a general problem with a lot of modern GW female sculpts basically just being a man. I'm obviously not saying every female sculpt should look like a pulp bombshell from the later half of the 20th century (would be nice though), but I'd be nice to have women who actually look discernably like women. I've bitched about it before, but I'm so fucking sick of this bullshit universalism in so much modern media. I don't give a fuck that there are women in Warhammer, I just want their inclusion to actually have some fucking thought put into it like it used to, and for that choice to tell me something about the faction, species, or character.
>>98784350redditors are mostly secondaries unironically, they just like the look of models and the fluff
>>98784288take your pic between treelords being in every discount box, treelords having once per turn adn just being generally very limp, or the fact that they once again reused the same models for the battleforce.
>>98784079Sneeze at this mini and fucking breaks>>98783296god i wish Dendrel was genderbend with big titties to suck them while she kept the helmet on>>98784098Didn't GW fucking suck painting faces? Making them look like shit
>>98784409>I'm obviously not saying every female sculpt should look like a pulp bombshell from the later half of the 20th centuryThey should. This game is still 95% men and 3.5% (male) perverts in wigs. You'll never have any real numbers of real women in the game because of what it is (a wargame)
>>98783769I completely forgot 40k got a EOE campaign in 10th. I know that most people didnt bother buying the books because they phoned in a anvil of apotheosis that got axed when 11th dropped like 2 months later, but besides that I cant really recall what if anything happened. I know something was supposed to happen with tzeentch and...necrons? They're still on necrons right? I wonder if they're gonna do something tyranids now that the lag of leviathan has caught up. Anyways as for third editions EOE, I guess khul ascending was cool. Didnt like Phonecium getting blown the fuck up, but it be what it be.
>>98784458and the actual women wouldn't mind female sculpts that look feminine
>>98784490Correct. Which is why I don’t think the goal is to attract women to the hobby. I think it’s ideological but obviously I can’t ever prove that without a statement from them
>>98784485Nothing happens in 40k anymore
>>98777802>>98778480If this anon ain't gonna do it, and I'm not gonna do it either, then which anon is going to end buying stuff in a warhammer store next month and can get the coin to sell to me specifically?Because I kinda want the lizard coin.
>>98782913>>98782682>>98782665> Latest tranime thing becomes the thing> Every other board MUST now be spammed with that trashFaggot
>>98784583it was the thing like 3 months ago. Now its harry potter but with genderbent evil women.
>>98784608>harry potter >but with evil women>genderbent
>>98784608>evil womenbit redundant, innit
>>98784678I'm sorry your mom never loved you.
>>98784681thankfully your mom filled in that niche for me
>>98784678Not quite, any discussion on the topic would have porn tag philosophers easily distinguish at least 3 types of evil that can be attributed to women:-the one intrinsic in the common woman's behaviour and interests-the one that's unisex and is expressed and "worn" exactly the same by both men and women-evil as an aesthetic, more than a genuine behaviour and defiance of moralsthe latest trend is clearly highlighting the latter two, as most of the evil this genderbent malfoy would be doing would be the same as what his male version would also do
>>98784503>but obviously I can’t ever prove thatI don't think you need to prove the obvious
>>98784316A fyne slayer for my collection
>>98784728This just reads as cope about why a model is bad written by an insane person who internally recognizes that the model is bad. And I dont even think the model is bad.
>>98784728Ah, well, that’ll do it. I’m sure some anon here will pop in to call us schizos for seeing the obvious
>>98784288I'd say it's because they tend to release boxes of more of the same thing everyone's already got plenty of already.
>>98784350This is on the level of reading horoscopes
We’re 8th ed fantasy sculpts truescale or heroic
>>98783484Hey! I know you!
>>98783062Verminlords just look cool so far in don’t think they’ve done anything of note yet>>98784382It makes them jealous and reminds them of what they’ll never be
>>98784350sadly true>>98784423i can’t blame them in this instance honestly
>>98784795In a positive light, I hope.
>>98783253I'm a bit leery about it but looking at the hair, especially the braid that looks like it's not moulded into the chest, maybe it wouldn't be all that hard to replace the head with something with hair instead of untextured slabs and form a nice ambush
>>98784853I hope so! I try to be chill. I remember this guy because I love when people do nmm.
>>98784790I don't even know what scale we're on right now. The black warqueen from Gunnar's goons is, like, dwarf proportions, as I recently got both warqueens to compare.
Whatever happened to side games? Warcry is dead and Underworlds seems to be lost in the Gnarlwood.
>>98784901news soon
>>98784901The gnarlwood consumes all. Soon AoS itself will be exposed, never to return. It will then grow beyond time, to the world-that-was, and consume that system too in its vast and wicked weald. But this will not sate its hunger. Grow and grow it will, until it reaches 40k and all its myriad sidegames. They too will be unable to escape. The gnarlwood will be all, and all will be the gnarlwood.
>>98784958The fact they immediately made muscle trees OOP will never not be funny >What's with the random bamboo shit in your Nurgle muddle ages knights army?
>>98784980Muscle trees?
>>98785024with ball sacs
>>98784608>>98784674>>98784583All kino and we frankly need more of it everywhere.
>>98785041
>>98783253Where's her boobs?
>>98784728Desperate countersignal.
>>98784547If you really want the damn coin, have a wife or girlfriend go in and buy a kit, get the coin, and return the kit for a refund a day or two later while keeping the coin. My girlfriend did that last year around Christmas after I lovingly gave her shit for paying GW prices. That's how I have the Hashut coin. If you don't have a woman in your life, you're shit out of luck, I guess.
>>98784547That coin looks like shit anyway, anon. I love Lizards. But one of the kind of shitty things about them is their iconography is straight ass.
Good news. Fat priest and drake knight secured from Target. Weirdly enough I think the crossbow guy was the one I saw the most of in the display when checking the codes. Fat man looks like he'll paint up nice and easy and there doesn't look to be much I need to remove from him to make him a convincing necromancer. Just the hammer head, his belt thing, and a purity seal on the wheel I'll have to cover up with something.
>>98785516Be careful anon, the plastic is red. You know what they say about red plastic...
>>98785516Brother Belias looked disgusting--nipples protruding--in his green cowl before Congress. Very very disrespectful.
>>98785279>have a wife or girlfriend anon…
>>98785576Honestly despite the stereotypes most players I know are in relationships. Maybe it's more of a 40k thing?
>>98785516What's even the point of blind bags that aren't blind?
>>98785592For absolute losers who buy a full 8 pack
>>98785592I know they’re intended to be blind buys but I bet some UK law is probably forcing them to put a product code on each one since it’s technically not the same item you’re buying out of the display/case.
>>98784719*Malfoid>>98784714Kek
>>98785545I don't...
>>98785685Red plastic..... IS RED
Kurnothi soon?
>>98785714Who the fuck knows anymore man. Next edition maybe. Or maybe just more pity heroes?
>>98785721Next edition will be an (a)elf edition. Surely.
>>98785734We went from shitty dwarf edition (early 1e) to kino elf edition (late 1e and 2e) to shitty dwarf edition (4e, 3e didn't have much for either).Consequently 5th will be an elf edition and a second golden age for aos
>>98785751elves and dwarfs are irrelevant, it's whoever gets in the starter that shapes the edition>1st edition: chaos: lame and unable to lift off>2nd edition: death: kino from launching campaign to ending campaign>3rd edition: destruction: absolute collapse of any and all hype>4th edition: chaos: lame and unable to lift off5th edition will be chaos again, so we're staying on this wavelength for some years still, but in 6th aos will have a growth spur that will make the warhammer settings around the year 2000 as lame as aos at its launch by comparison
>>98785806Why would it be Chaos again if 4th was just Chaos? Shouldn't it be Death again?
>>98785826we have rumors saying it's gonna be chaos undivided and gw isn't beholden to a pattern
>>98785849Yeh bro it will be new warriors and chaos dragon! Oh wait retard mistook ToW update for AoS
>>98785866No, it wasn't a mixup, saar.
>years>faction has existed for 1, 1 year
>>98785893That’s the name of the series, anon. Even then GW’s cheeky dumbasses could be like “they launched in 2025 and we’re in 2026, so that counts as 2 years”.
>>98785893those "articles" are insulting at the best of times with the low res, shitty digital art they post instead of actual artworks, but the aos ones are especially foul with how they pretend fantasy never existed
>>98785907they don't mention WFB artwork so they could do TOW articles later when there is a TOW release
>>98785907You’d get people getting upset that aos included fantasy art in their article so it makes sense to just isolate the two.
>>98785866The StD release was pretty weird to begin with. New chaos warriors and knights were locked in the monopose start collecting! set for ages from 2019 to 2023. Four years is an entire release cycle. The current chaos battle line is 7 years old from that perspective. That's longer than the lifespan of fatcast or sacrosanct. I don't want or need a refresh of those units but it's entirely feasible they plan to churn the battle line infantry of their third most popular faction every seven years.
>>98785903People who do that shit grind my gears, like they're trying to prematurely age me. No nigga, I still got until august 2027 before I panic.
>>98785826It being chaos again and especially StD sounds like the worst possible option which means it's probably true.>>98785918They really should have just combined them. The only thing making these articles halfway interesting is the evolution over time.
>>98785932I can see people being retarded like that, but to pretend chorfs weren't a thing before 2026 (and the way they act with the rest of the fantasy transplants) sticks in my craw
>>98785955I mean you don't even need whfb for that, legion of azgorh existed for a while.I feel bad for shartor, dude is stuck in limbo as neither whfb or aos seems to be allowed to use him.
>>98785955The only point of such an article would be seeing how we went from chorfs to FW chorfs to helsmiths but these articles are completely phoned in filler pieces and they just do the bare minimum
>>98786050There's also the pre-babylonian chorfs who were basically just mini chaos warriors. Though they also kind of had a little bit of samurai thing going on with their masks sometimes
>>98786083They were clearly Uzbekistan, not Japanese
>>98786111Malaysian, obviously.
>>98783062Ikit made it over, he’s fun because he’s pissed off wvery god, including the Great Horned Rat.>>98783112It’s the Brood Terror, my favorite Skaven model.>>98783147Skaven life spans are way shorter, like fifteen years max.
I don't see anything oriental in these faces, personally
I looked at some other Necromancer models for staff inspiration, including Sienna from Vermintide. I'm thinking maybe a scythe from a Hexwraith would work well for it. Or maybe use the other bits to make a balefire brazier. Only issue with the scythe is that it might look weird going from the metal of the war hammer handle to the wood of the scythe. I'm also at a bit of a loss about what to do to cover up the comet on the end of the belt. I could try my hand at sculpting like a frayed edge or something but I'm not sure.

>>98786176Nice rat
>>98786287shovelheadgoatskull
>>98786287if you're looking for necromancers dont forget reaper has a 20 year catalogue of dnd minis to draw from.
>>98786287a flail or whip might work as his staff weapon, to fit with the breaking wheel on his back (if you're keeping it)and if that fails, nobody ever thought a warhammer looked out of place >cover up the cometa skull is the platonic ideal, and you're halfway there already - you could sculpt in the space between the tails to give you a lower jaw and cheek shape, and then just plop a cut down skull on the face of it, maybe smooth the join a bit around the edges, and there you go

>>98786365Graphic design is my passion
I wish there were more named skaven that weren't WHF layovers. And then I wish they got some stories or lore. Like what the fuck does Vizzik Skour even do. What's Crixxit up to? What about Fatty Santarat?
>>98786726>And then I wish they got some stories or lore.That's just named characters in general. GW refuses to make them actual characters beyond their warscroll and a couple lore blurbs.
>>98786726>more named skaven that weren't WHF layovers. didnt they just get 3 new to AoS named characters in their 4th edition expansion? thats more than most armies even have alltogether.
>The Cairn Wars>The death of Behemati Queen Bavmoda sparks a succession crisis between her son Ogg and daughter Uggra. Seeking power, Uggra and her supporters leave Verdia for dismal Erosia, where they ally with its grim, barrow-building kings. Bitter battles are fought between the two gargantuan tribes and the pipsqueaks who revere them, but when Uggra eventually falls under mysterious circumstances, many gargants enjoy the authority they hold in Erosia and refuse to return home.>Gargantuan breeds>The Cairn Kingdoms of Erosia, just over the mountains East of the Scabrous Sprawl, were once grim territories where gargant clans fought alongside tribal lords of death in their interminable wars. The bodies of these titans, as well as those of other gargants across the realms who entered into league with the faithful of Nagash, were buried in long barrows like their puny allies, still clad in arms of morbid aspectMosscairnbros... it's happening...
>>98786765But do they have more than 2 paragraphs of lore?
>>98786872>Verdia>ErosiaLet me guess, one is verdant and the other is barren and eroding.And what's happening? zombie giants?
>>98786872I'll believe in Mosscairn when I see Mosscairn.
>>98786955Two paragraphs of lore is the default for special characters, unless they get a BL novel or feature in a campaign book or whatever. Same as it's always been.
>>98784162You know, what interests me is how they very clearly used the mourngul as a major source of inspiration for the faction, but they haven't actually bothered updating the damn thing and giving them one.
>>98786726Yiff in hell, tourist.
>>98787098The bedsheet ghosts will continue to arrive until morale improves. How is the mourngul related as and inspriation?
it was actually dantes inferno.
>>98787126If I was a tourist I wouldn't even know about Crixxit. I'd spit off some Fantasy skaven names and be like "does aos have an equivalent?"
>>98786955vizzik skour and krittok foulblade both got full pages in their new tome, foulblades sword even got 2 paragraphs all to itself
>>98787139The moungul is a torso with overly long, skinny arms and a perpetually open jaw. A LOT of Nighthaunt's models could be described as being more or less the same, just with varying levels of clothing over the torso.
>>98787197I can see the vision. But also refer back to my first sentence. GW seems allergic to breaking away from established design language for Nighthaunt.
>>98787221Yeah. Though they should still give the guys a Mourngul. NH is surprisingly light on big dudes and it wouldn't hurt the army to have a couple of more elite big guys that really stood out to break things up
>>98786955>know nothing about aos lore>complain about aos loremany such cases
>>98787247hauntedfuckingarmorJesus it's so obvious too.
>>98787247They could just do the gw special and give them angels of death
>>98787265All the lore seems like I was created by someone who read a bunch of dnd stuff then crammed warhammer motifs into what he knows.
>>98787265Now to be fair, AOS lore is the worst Warhammer lore.
>skavenfag shows up>concern trolls>"AoS bad" posting coincidentally starts up againTWW secondaries are never beating the furfaggot allegations.
>>98787309how are we worse than 40k and horus heresy and their substitute dad faggotry?
Nevermind post 6th edition of fantasy
>>98787329now now, only most of us skavenfags are secondaries, please understand
>>98787191>Abusing the fact that skaven have blindness to the concept of true faith to absolutely fuck with themI can imagine him tormenting a grey seer by having absolute trust in him and the seer keeps trying to prophesize how Vizzik will betray him but nothing comes up and he thinks that the daemon has some anti-predictive powers but no Vizzik really REALLY believes in him and his plan to expand the GHR's domain.
>>98787145>If I was a tourist I wouldn't be able to use googleI'm glad even the tourists have a low opinion of the tourists' abilities lmao
anyone know where to find a pdf of soulbound: champions of destruction? can't find it, asked in the pdf share thread as well
speaking of skaven lore and shit, do skaven inherently have a massive fear of being outside in AoS? in fantasy there's multiple instances of them having severe agoraphobia and having fears that they'd fall up into the sky, but in most cases where skaven are fucking around in the mortal realms they're just kinda running around doing their gross rat bullshit
>>98787362kek saved>>98787362damn that’s some great art
>>98787197Mourngul is more of a torn in half corpus, Nighthuant conitnue past their wasit, they're jsut flowing robes

>>98787552Dunno if it's the latest errata or what, but there you go.https://litter.catbox.moe/g6026q.pdf
>>98788216massive thanks mate, i will be krumping heads in our upcoming campaign in your honor
>>98788316Cheers. Check out the miracles when you've got time, there's some wacky stuff in there.
What is a lore reason for custodes to be fighting custodes that isn't just a training exercise?
>>98788569Warhammer Age of Sigmar?
>>98788569>>98787099Idk evil faction x cast a glamour on both custodes forces so each one thinks the other are bad guys are whatever. It's the get out of jail free card for when you don't know how to justify a mirror match otherwise. Works for every game!
>decade of complaining about Berzerkers >GW just toss them with no replacement Watch what you say, anons. GW only has so much warehouse space for what are increasingly bloated ranges.
>>98786872this is an internal campaign game we only hear about through blurbs
>>98788637>too little infantry units for a full faction>too much infantry units for a sunfaction within a larger army, have to squat oneMan fyreslayer had it rough. Out of the three options it made the most sense to squat vulkites though. Man all they needed was a flameseeker style refresh. At least they're easily proxied as clanshields?
>>98785893Warhammer art through the years not Helsmiths art through the years, ESL
>>98788637I will have you reminded that I have complained aplenty about other things too but those are still up.
>>98788642I dunno I always was happy enough with the range. It's an army of slayers and it was cool. Ranges don't always need more more more.
>>98785488I'm expecting gw to do one with sotek's new symbol and maybe one for tepok eventually, which would give me a matching set to use as objective tokens.Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.
>>98788700the old symbols would be fine too, mind you, but I'm expecting the new one for sotek specifically.
>>98788700oh true they would make good objective markers, maybe if they release a deepkin or Death one may go pick it up. do u have to buy like a box or can u get it by just buying like primer?
>>98788709I only got the first on the second hand market, but apparently you have to hit a threshold of purchases to get one.I used to think it was something like 50€, so I was holding off from buying the seraphon scenery for that, since you can't get it at much of a discount elsewhere anyway, but apparently the threshold is 80€ now instead.
>>98788693It just didn't have enough meat to it. Their basic infantry and elite infantry looked too close to each other, as did most of their heroes. That infantry was also in kind of odd symmetrical poses. Only thing they really had going for them was the magmadroth but one cool centrepiece can't do much.Idk if your army is going to be 90% infantry you have to at least make the infantry distinct. As it stands armies were basically just a sea of identical midgets with the odd dragon. Not really the most appealing of concepts for an army.
>>98788747the entire range should have just been 1 warcry team not an entire faction.
>>98788751You can totally make a whole faction out of the concept of dwarf slayers brought to eleven and made into a society, but you can't make a whole faction out of 2 infantry kits whose only significant difference is the equipment, and one monster.All factions need a roster of kits for things of different silhouettes, sizes, unit types, and elements of their culture to make people care about their subfactions, not just equipment for abstract gameplay purposes.
The problem with Fyreslayers is not that they were unfixable, GW just literally never even made an attempt to do anything with them.Honestly, given that even their early 2E battletome was already pushing dwarf soup and a new faction of dwarfs emerging, they probably never got much attention in part because KH was in the works forever, likely delayed by years.
>>98788747>Their basic infantry and elite infantry looked too close to each other, as did most of their heroes.That's because you're not a fyreslayers player. To me they're all distinct.
>>98788818nobody is arguing that there absolutely aren't any differences, but that there aren't enough differences to make them look gooddo you find they are exactly as different to each other as you wish they were? do you think there's no room for improvement in what the different units are wearing?
I'm blanking.
>>98788825He's a midg player they are stubborn above all things. All midges should be squatted.
>>98788839Yeah no same here what the fuck even is that? Kelp? 40k alien pods or something?
>>98788861It's not alive imo. Just decoration
>>98788839Xmas model
>>98788861>Kelp?it does look fishy
Idoneth second wave incoming fishbros
>>98788839can't find one that looks exactly like that but bladderwrack has similar balls
>>98788839some 40k alien tail
>>98788839Xenos plant life of some kind
>>98784728Xe is so brave for coming out as trans in the mortal realms!
>>98788839FROM THE TOP RUNG the true Idoneth second wave
>>98789082Chorrileum revenants incoming for sure
>>98784728I mean it's a female warrior. Kind of gender-nonconforming by default. But even specifically within darkoath, how is she different from the default warqueen, or even all the other female grunts in the range?Weird to single out this mini, unless the author is a 40k only type who isn't familiar with the army.
>>98784728She looks great! Way better than the current one. I love the art and model design AOS is moving in.
I don't think I watched this when it dropped. Was it okay?https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/usyc2tsw/two-more-final-cut-animations-on-warhammer-tv-this-week/
>>98789116it's fun that it connects neatly with the starter's cinematic trailer, but it doesn't really have much that's memorable
>>98789116No, it's terribly low budget. Every scene is just standing around as one character talks to another on the same plane. The highlight of animation is what seems like 10fps of a liberator hitting two clanrats tiptoeing up to him. GW could get viewership like that space king shit but they won't do anything but the bare minimum funding.
Personally I'm not a vidya guy but maybe you arehttps://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/m5cfelii/try-the-new-demo-for-warhammer-survivors-now/
>>98788771Too many/not enough boobs
>>98788569Maybe they don’t like the way one of them smelled or they insulted his mom>>98788651Imagine accidentally pricking yourself on that thing
>>98789493Generic hobby table is actually a kino idea for a level.
>>98783286qrd ? is her womb removed like the marvel female spies ?
>>98789518nah, that anon is talking out of his ass.
Where are the fucking christmas boxes so I can decide if I want to buy the Kill Team box or a Christmas box
>>98788646The only people who say ESL are brown. Stop coming here, thirdie.
>>98789715should be on thursday or friday.
>>98789721I just hope the alleged CoS box doesn't have Tahlia or else I'm gonna look like a freackin' moron
>>98789781im just expecting some gallants the cav stuff and a cogfort. But maybe im just delusional.
>>98789784There's definitely been a trend in the last few years to bundle in special characters, not exclusively, but often.
>>98789805Yeah that's my worry. I bought Tahlia for my birthday some time back so if it turns out this next box has her again I'll feel like a fool for not epically predicting it and getting her at a theoretical discount.
>>98789781I'm expecting zenestra or zonn, possibly the gate gargants as rebuy-value-reducers.
i hate the new dwarves so much every infantry kit is total shit
>>98790038use longbeards and irondrakes
>>98789518The Warqueen just has generic fluff, a leader who keeps her position with victory in ritual duels against rivals. The scar is just because they both have bikini armour so the bare space of a stomach undermines their warrior status, so they both lazily just gave them scars. C-section and womb surgeries leave a horizontal scar at the top of the groin.
>>98790038>>98790131Yeah that's the upside here, there's about 3 million generic dwarf infantry proxies out there, including from gw themselves. Though personally I find the 8th edition dwarf stuff very prone to attack of the clones syndrome because of the poses. In rank and flank it's not *too* bad but on rounds it's very noticeable.
>>98790584Any rec for good proxies (don't care if pricey just good sculpts)?
>>98790690Depends on the style you're afterIf you just want updated whfb style warriors I'd look into highlands for example
Evening anons, a little query for you:How would you rank each faction in terms of how much they need another wave, be that refreshes or new units?https://tiermaker.com/create/age-of-sigmar-4th-ed-tiers-list-17172367Tried to take a crack at it and while there's some obvious placements (stormcast and idoneth at both ends of the spectrum for example), there's also some more ambiguous armies who could easily move up or down a tier depending on your persective.
>>98790866So no army is perfect in your opinion? It's either too bloated or not enough?
>>98790886I would consider gits and skaven basically perfect, stormcast and StD maybe a little bloated, and sbgl bloated in some ways (random named characters) and lacking some options in other ways (e.g. liches)That much modularity is a little bit overkill for a tier list though, so they all get lumped together in the highest tier.
are ironguts still outclassed by gluttons or did they manage to somehow make them good?
>>98790924Gluttons are still strictly better
>>98791057Aren't they better for protecting your heroes? I thought they were pretty good for a bodyguard unit
>>98790866really hoping kruleboyz get the love and range update they deserve. Just need like 3 more things just 3 more things and a generic hero c'mon
>>98791128just an example. regiment1 is 40 wounds and retain 5++ as long as the butcher and tyrant lives. regiment2 is 58 wounds with a 6++ as long as Redd lives. Redd does much more interesting things than Regiment 1 at least in my opinon. Most our lists take Redd and 10 Gluttons, so there's not much flex to bring units that do the same. The other half of the army is either monsters, cav or hunters.
>>98784728Imagine getting painted to right that
>>98791198Honestly most of the factions in need in this game could be fixed by like 3 or 4 non-hero kits
>>98790733neat any other ones with whfb style like that you'd rec?
Anything of value to get off Amazon for Prime day?
>>98791322>thinking GW lets people get discounts on Prime Daylmfaooooooooooooooooo
>>98791330There's a hell of a lot more that goes into this hobby than just the shit we buy from GW, anon.
>>98791330Do you just buy the boxes and stare at them or do you also use things like paintbrushes, paints, cutting mats, good desk lamps, basing materials, and tools?
>>98791364It's an easy thing to forget if you are used to the models assembling and painting themselves in tww
>>98791364>>98791370completely forgotNo yeah I saw some sable brushes on sale so if your brushes are fucked it's a good time to nab em. Also some random paints and basing kits.I should actually grab the basing stuff, it probably looks better than slapping texture paste and calling it a day
>>98789513Sudden flashback to weekend Micro Machines tournaments on my friend's Amiga.Fuck, I'm old.
I want to show off my cool painted minis but I don't want to paint ALL of them. I want to paint 10% of my army and have the rest automatically be painted.
>>98791206I see your point
>>98791280true but i mean look how they've handled fyreslayers or deepkin. at least DoK and KO got some new units, even if they were 98% copy pastes of existing units instead of actually filling any range gaps
>>98791534OBR got the right treatment honestly. 2 new infantry units, a nice dual build semi-centrepiece, and an foot hero as a nice little extra. Best you can hope for outside of a full wave.Here's hoping the succes of city of ash leads them to doing similar boxes in the future. 3-4 new kits per faction would do a lot for the idoneths and DoK's of the game.
>>98791711Pretty cool, if only steelhelms actually looked like the guys in the back.By the way are there any gallants/cavaliers with that anvil helmet?
i finally got a new bookshelf for all my models and picked up some cheap lights i wanted to tryheres my rats
>>98791834Cool rats anon how many points is that?I never gave a single fuck about skaven whatsoever and I still don't really care about their lore but fuck me their new models are some of gw's best. I guess I could probably get the skaventide spearhead for pretty cheap online? Must be a bunch of secondaries who got the box and then got burnt out by painting 40 clanrats or whatever the actual number is.
>>98791861idk around like 2500 i think, i just collect and paint, havent really had anychances to actually play aos, trying to get my friends to give spearhead a try, but my locals is mostly 40k and i dont wanna bust out admech until they get a new codex
So if verminlords are the greater daemons of the ghr, does he have lesser daemons? I assume the actual skaven skaven are essentially his beastmen variant?Also does hashut have daemons, like at all?
>>98791834Impressive, very nice
>>98791932Haven't read their battle tome, but if hashut doesn't have demons what powers the daemon engines? I guess undivided daemons? Grey seers would be, like, daemon princes by skaven standards. Also, there used to be things like brood horrors. At this point though, GW is pretty religious about avoiding describing a unit that doesn't already have a model. So unless they want to start selling them you might never see intermediate demons in the lore.
>>98792158Well they power them with captured daemons of other gods / undivided, using one's own daemons seems counterproductive
>>98791932Lesser daemons of the GHR can't manifest because the moment they do, a larger daemon will manifest and consume it. So you have a lot of little formless beings too scared of one another to complete their form and the greater daemons too strong to be consumed by others.
I played for the first time the other day, Ogors vs. some Skaven. Lost horribly but had fun. Genuinely feel like this game feels more like a wargame while 40k feels like an overrated board game these days.
>>98792431That's awesome dude, take some pictures if you're willing to show off. I haven't played 40k, but I think what surprised me about AoS as my first "wargame" is the physicality of it. So much of good play comes down to things like staying exactly 12.1 inches away, or screening things just right, or spreading out a unit to stop deep strikes onto the backside of an objective etc.
>>98784728Only elves have feminine models anymore, it's all gender nonconforming?
So tiresome to hear people complain about models they don't like instead of posting minis they do like and own
>>98791614More??? I love this
>>98792801I think the darkoath lady needs a more feminine face and larger tits. I like her shield tho. You got models too ya?
>>98792801Never did finish the dude on the left, but I've always had a soft spot for this model. I own these 2 and a half-done Ogor butcher kitbash from waaaay before the refresh.
GW model assembly is funny sometimes
>>98792863The new one? Ya she's really not identifiably female at all. Honestly I thought it was some kind of barbarian twink like the second coming of Sigvald. At the very least she should have some kind of visible breast bulge.
>>98789493How's it stack up to Holocure?Yeah yeah, I know >vtubers but that game is legitimately one of the best games in that entire genre and it's fucking free. If they want me to consider spending money on this it has to be at LEAST comparable.
>>98792911Ah, so it can easily be thrown on a different head with a simple saw cut
>>98793107I really appreciate it because painting that face would have been hell otherwise. He's still getting sub-assemeblied because the underside of big cloaks are the bane of my existence, but at least I don't have to actually cut his head off or anything.
>>98793068>If they want me to consider spending money on this it has to be at LEAST comparable.I mean, the demo is on Steam. You might be able to get a good idea of how it squares up.
>>98793230I would but I'm a touch busy at the moment.
>>98792911My favorite is the underworld stormcast where one of the pieces is the dude's legs, his head, and a single cylinder connecting the two.
can we get this as a skaven model and make it the biggest model in aos
>>98793334Truly Sigmar's strongest soldier
>>98793384No, it's not actually that one, it's an entirely different one with BOTH legs and no helmet.
>>98793388They did that both in Emberguard and Harrowdeep starters.
>>98793380>tww secondary
>>98793447im playing it for the first time since it finally got thanquol, im just a fan of the funny ratsi already posted my models earlier
>>98793457I wonder what took them so long to do it What i would give for a proper Fantasy/AoS shooter
>>98792863Unusual scheme, very kino. This is the current project.>>98792888I wanna see the kitbash, ogre butcher kitbashes were essential until the refresh
>>98793489i cant believe the game didnt have stormfiends before, thats genuinely so fucking insane to me
>>98793419Listen if it ain't fixed don't break it
>>98793380I think skaven should have fucky wucky upside down artillery that burrows through the ground and leaves gnawholes for rats to teleport through
>>98793498They're end times slop
>>98793629Gnawholes in general need to be more prominent with how potentially game changing they are
>>98783050>>98783091Cute. Thanks for telling will look into her
>>98788771underrated pretties >>98789116>Sigmar liedso lame and forced lol
>>98793384
>>98794058>liedAbout what?
>>98794165stormcasts aren't eternalthat's it
>>98793498I mean skaven in whfb didn't have stormfiends for like 3 decades
>>98793498there were mods and rat ogres already came with drills and wrecker balls, so their absence wasn't THAT felt
>>98794165>>98794218Really weird to play it up in the way they did when we've known about this since 1st edition.
>>98794309>play it up in the way they didthey said it two times in teasers and then nothing
>>98793498Tomb kings didn't have the lord version of their liche priest until just a few weeks ago. Creative Assembly works at its own pace.
>>98794218Yeah, because Ruination chamber murders them
>>98794326it's called euthanasia, and it's ethical!
>>98794318It's been a very prominent part of the skaventide marketing?
>>98794496not really, no
The little dudes really do look good in teal.
>>98794578its good but I would like it a lot more if it was more flat or matte.
>>98793457That one stormfiend in the back Is that just an unpainted model superimposed into the picture
>>98794578Very early after the release I recall seeing someone with Helsmiths painted in an orangeish pink with teal/blue accents that looked quite neat; really wish I could re-find them.
>>98791932There are occasional mentions of weird daemonic things associated with Skaven, like the rat-faced ticks and fleas summoned by great plagues, but nothing that's the equivalent of bloodletters and such.
>>98794990Found it. Guess I misremembered the details, but it's still good.
>>98795148Save for the purple textiles it's close to the Ur-Zorn scheme.
>>98794578They look better in everything that's not the official scheme. Quite impressive, in a way
honestlyy??? looking at them again, initial response was an overreaction. they look bretty gud i reckon the range has grown on me.
>>98795148>brown sashick
>>98795220They are shamefully bad and no amount of coping will change that fact.
>>98795220I really like them but also can accept that some of those faces are bad. Maybe can be mitigated by a better paint job but I’m banking that there will be enough head options to have them all bearded. The clangunner rifles are growing on my but the hand cannons are great. Rest of the range rules.
>>98795299>but also can accept that some of those faces are badThis is both true of most kits that GW puts out and also a complete nonissue. It's the sort of thing that only retards who don't own any models stress about, as opposed to just not using heads they don't like.
>>98794374Kek>>98795094It would be cool if they expanded on that kind of thing in its own unique way rather than just trying to make equivalents, though I don’t know what else they could do
>>98795148>>98795194It looks good because it's nmm and chorfs are made for nmm.
>>98793068Never played holocure but warhammer survivors is a barebones reskin of vampire survivors with nothing new added except some of the weapons give you a follower that holds it. It's pretty shit and doesn't have anything new or even anything innovated upon in other survivors clones.That said, the AoS mode is better than the 40k mode where the weapons are ass.
>>98795220I think people here were pretty fair to them. Infantry sucks ass but the rest is neat.
Anyone have any idea what this guy could be a proxie for in AOS? Also is he decently sized or tiny
>>98795954Looks like a daemon prince to me.
>>98795954generic demon prince or belakor if you give it a larger diorama base
>>98795220the basic melee and ranged troops are not something any amount of shilling could convince me to spend money on. the rest of the range is okay though. the elites with the bun helmets are kinda goofy but luckily they have another helmet that looks okay
>>98795954Vengorian Lord from Chamon
>>98796039>>98796039>>98796039New thread>>98796036Kek
>>98795954Daemon Prince in an army that uses a Soulgrinder or two for maximum SOVL
>>98794578too much teal, not enough magenta. the scheme doesnt even follow its own conventions. the crown gem and sash define magenta for accents while the armor is teal, but then for some reason decides also to make most of the cloth teal, and also to make most of the gems teal and also make the beard rings teal when jewelry has already been picked out as gold, and also neglects to put any gold on the fully teal runic jangle on his belt. the weapon also lost the gold ornamentation from the rest of the mini that should have been carried over to the pommel and blade setting. good color pallet but too much inconsistency in material color coding in favor of just blasting the entire model with a firehose of teal.
>>98783006What kingdom hearts character is this?
>>98795954Could be fun to convert into a Verminlord of SkryreSize-wise he's slightly bigger than a Daemon Prince
>>98796117I was gonna say tldr and that you're a retarded autist but honestly I decided to turn my brain on for two seconds and I actually agree with everything you said so uuhhh my bad retroactively
