>>98830191S
>>98830243Igmar
>>98830243proportions were shiticonography was shitdesigns were betterexcept for the pauldrons
>>98830191Not the first mini I painted but the first one I posted here for feedback (it was not helpful).
>>98830191I miss the little lunch boxes the fatties had welded to their backs. The slims don't have them.
>tfw I actually think fondly of 1e AoS and stormies now.We get what we deserve for shitposting.
>>98830325Yeah, improved stormcasts.The next step? improving the worldbuilding, by force.
>>98830325>fyreslayers semi-squatted>look into their lore and art more>wtf it's kinoDefinitely guilty of this myself
>>98830336warhammer fantasy would never have gotten there without the rpgs. so does aos
>>98830347AoS did get the RPGs, it didn't help because GW is a fundamentally different company today than it was 40 years ago and doesn't let people worldbuild for shit now, so we're stuck with the same paragraphs repeated ad nauseam and mandates to showcase the latest releases and nothing else.
>>98830336>improved stormcasts.This didn't happen. We got ugly replacements and the best range was squatted entirely.
>>98830345I tried spreading the fyre news for years but no one listened!
>>98830325I suppose. I only started looking into AoS around the tail end of Malign Portents, and it took me a couple years to develop any fondness for the pre-Sacrosanct SCE. Now I just feel stupid for taking so long to come around to them. On the merits they were really good kits.
>>98830347fantasy was perfectly laid out even without the rpg, which just added unnecessary shit for the daily living in the empire only.you could take that away and the setting would still work, because it's fundamentally similar to our world so you only need to contextualise the magical shit, which the armybooks and rulebooks did enough already.Meanwhile aos needs a deeper exploration of daily living because we can't use real life as background since everything is so magical and atypical.In fantasy you can point at the equivalent of the indian subcontinent and already have a relatively good idea of what you can find there from a few lines of text, now instead any and all spots of the map that don't see a particularly deep exploration feel empty because we can't have such placeholders.It's a way larger challenge that gw has never put effort to overcome, and as lazy of an asspull the last world sounds, it can only improve shit for these reasons.
We got points and stuffhttps://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/downloads/warhammer-age-of-sigmar/
>>98830347>>98830357Soulbound did a shit ton of work showing what it’s like living in Aqshy and the Free Cities any claim to the contrary just shows you didnt read or just don’t care about this like you say you do
>>98830448I've read enough to know that the broad strokes of daily living in aos do not come from the rpg while the specifics they have added cannot be translated elsewhere.The rpg is unfortunately not allowed significant worldbuilding, it only has insular examples.
>>98830464Nta but didn't soulbound basically invent the great parch?
>>98830488no, firestorm and 2nd edition did
>>98830410>constructs made entirely of divinely blessed dwarven steel>not 2+ savei am so sick of this game
>>98830325Is it true you had to scream at your hell pit abombination to make it do more damage or is that a dumbass rumor heard? I hear so much random shit about 1e I kinda wanna hear whatever wacky stuff they had back then.
>>98830519I assume the Valayan version will have a 2+ save. Like how annihilators with shields have a 2+ while the ones with big hammers have the 3+ save.
>>98830519>Even the most basic bitch stormcast is armored in divine steel, blessed by Sigmar and whoever else is on the team3+>Chaos warriors, bound in daemon-runed Eldritch plate; holding great shields taller than a man3+>magic dwarf steel3+Get with the program
>>98830533i dont care. the entire model IS armor. from head to toe, its a walking suit of animated armor as thick as a stone column made by the best armor smiths in the realms. a 2+ save should be the least it gets. the shield ones should have a 1+ save. what the fuck are doing where dwarven steel golems cant have a better armor save than their basic footsoldier?
>>98830520The first year of AoS definitely had a lot of bullshit rules like that but I don't think the hell pit had any. Don't quote me on it though.This was in the "compendium era" before the first generals handbook. Weird time in general when they hadn't fully defined all the new armies yet (or even the microfactions), so all the rules were still for stuff like empire or high elves instead of like CoS and eldritch council and whatnot. Even brets and tomb kings were aroundSome of these meme rules were actually pretty soulful though, like the skaven screaming bell one.
>>98830546>the shield ones should have a 1+ saveCan't tell if deranged or just nogames
>>98830546>1+ save
>>98830550Personally I enjoyed runesons requiring you to insult your opponent like a true dwarf.
>>98830555you must be new
>>98830545Thinking about it, not counting heroes, in the whole game there are maybe a handful infantry units with a 2+ armor save.
>>98830550>tomb kingsWhile I was just looking up rules from 1e I heard apparently if you play settra and then squat or bend over at any point you lose the game. Funniest shit I ever heard
>>98830464>specifics they have added cannot be translated elsewhereLike what because the whole point of specifics in this era of GW is precisely to show you what you could do for your dudes
>>98830277I like it anon
>>98830393That depends entirely on what The Last World actually is
>>98830393>fantasy was perfectly laid out even without the rpg, Which edition lmaoooo
Why is Crusade so popular but Path to Glory is dead (anecdotally, lgs, and social media buzz/hobby projects)? To me it seems like AoS players just want Spearhead but 40k players entertain narrative more despite the obvious matched play wankery that dominates
>>98830861Did you try pushing for it yourself? It’s entirely possible they just don’t know it exists
>>98830861Literally the only time I've heard anyone ever talk about crusade (and that includes online) was when they introduced anvil of apotheosis to it in the end of edition campaign for 40k this year, and that lasted like 2 weeks.
>>98830864It's in every book? I'm pretty sure 40k squatted it for theirs but it's still played
>>98830545i dont know why sigmar even bothers to reforge stormcast when he can mass produce weapons and armor in the cities that are stronger than his divine magical dudes
>>98830861been my experience that aos and 40k players are both about the same as far as engaging with their respective narrative content these days, likely due to GWs insistence on enforcing legends purgatory and other legality issues. the aos community was a lot more narrative focused in earlier editions, we used to get frequent narrative campaign supplements and there was a much bigger focus on story and fun missions over esports, tactics and tournament legal. we used to even have entire youtube channels dedicated to narrative campaigns that were somewhat popular, like rerolling 1si think its just the general state of the company right now that its been doing this big push for tournament focused gameplay and that has influenced all of their mainline games.
>>98830519Aren't the golems made of stone?
So looking at that valaya statute in the lastest article and asking...Is she black?
>>98830982Don't think so but would be incredibly funny
>>98830933The fact of the matter is that it's more difficult to talk about narrative play than it is comp play. The data driven nature of comp, paired with regular updates (for better or worse), make it easy and accessible to talk about. Conversely, when talking about narrative play, you're essentially relying on uninvolved strangers to give a shit about /yourdudes/ and their stories, or relying on people having a good grasp on extensive settings with potentially obscure details.This reality tends to manifest in the metrics and incentive structures organizations (like GW) use when building their operational logic. Comp play generates the lion's share of persistent discourse and traffic online, so despite comp players being a small minority of overall players, comp play is what gets focused on. I mean, I love talking about /mydudes/ to people that want to hear it. I run sprawling narrative campaigns with buddies, so that's the primary way I play these games. But, the reality is that most people in these threads (or just online in general) aren't really willing to interact with it on any level because they have no investment in it.
>>98830982>>98831007My Valaya would never
AoR rules. Fyrefriends are thrown a bone.https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/djrn6cwq/mix-your-favourite-duardin-with-khazalite-holds-armies-of-renown/
>>98831035>claim vengeance for the destruction of the magmaholdsThis is so insanely fucking gay
>>98830873Yeah and people will gloss over stuff. I know a guy who didn’t even know warhammer had fantasy settings
I just wonder if vulkites will suddenly become an expensive rarity or if stores will do insane sales to shift the boxes, especially that hilarious spearhead.
>Grimmdronthis is so much worse than Fyreslayers and I dont even like the name Fyreslayers
>>98831058It had t be either Grimmdron or Zharrdron, and Helsmiths already called dibs on the latter.
>>98830861they took away keep management from earlier editions. building a list of dudes and earning gold to buy territory n castles was cool as. but now its just a list of buffs u give ur heroes. its so shit and uninspiring. the aos rules writers now are just utterly incapable of writing rules which are exciting or inspiring thus why would anyone care about it. darkwater, and the ptg books are all so half-arsed and half-baked. its clear gw doesnt respect narrative play at all and either rushes its supplements, or aos rules writers are too brain damaged to make it engaging. i am more inclined to believe the latter considering the atrocious quality of battletomes and the aqshy ghb in particular. the aqshy ghb has really punctured enthusiasm for playing aos in my local scene
>>98830861>Why is Crusade so popular but Path to Glory is deadbecause 4th edition is shit
>>988308564th, and 5th for the later reintroductions like lizards and chaos dwarfs.it wasn't the rpg that did it, the guys at gw sat down and set how the world would get solidified, and what would be left behind of the previous iterations, basically overnight.https://gofile.io/d/ICdmvqLc
>>98831079Wait til you find out what their priesthood's called
>>98831079Could have been vulkadron, as I suggested before.
>>98831035>10" movementI wouldn't have guessed it, but this sucker's fast. Like imagine ten metric tons of solid granite coming at you at the speed of a warhorse at full gallop, I'd just get the fuck out of the way.
>>98831099I like the suggestion but they probably wanted to get the grimm- in there to emphasize that these guys are Grimnir's dudes.
>>98831106Helsmiths aren't called hashudrons, and I'd argue the association with salamanders is more important to the fyreelayers' identity than the association with grimnir, since that's also an association the more traditional slayers already have.But what's done is done.
>>98831117Nah culturally Grimnir is definitely more important than Vulcatrix to them imoOr used to be. Their civilization is fucking dead lmao
>>98831123No, I meant more important to us. That's who the names are for.
>we never got magmadroth chariots with javelin crew>never got a named character from the lore(new literal who foot hero doesn't count)>never supported them in any way but greatly oversaturated pity heroes>couldn't even let them die with dignity and exist in the background, had to let them get exterminated in the lore and awkwardly shove the survivors into the not!dispossessed as not!slayers
>>98831157They'll rise again, this is just a short setback because gw simply can't handle 3 dwarf factions in one edition.>updated hearthguard>special character on new superdroth>chariothabeeb it, 2029!
When are crypt horror / flayers / ghouls / terrorgheists getting refreshed? FEC has such a great range and then you see those dummies.
Hey anons I'm back and found another stupidly big army deal.200 BUCKS FOR1x Hag queen on cauldron1x slaughter queen on cauldron1x Melusai Ironscale100 x witch aelves50 x sisters of slaughter10x spear snakes5x bow snakes5x doomfire warlocksWhat the fuck have I gotten myself into.
>>98831174Big oosh got mentioned in the drachen-files which pushes back their second wave for a year or two until all of this blows over. Expect a female named character to smooth things over in the meantime.
>>98831193Absolutely insane. Good luck with being the next Fyreslayers.
>>98831217Getting the only good units from the faction transplanted to a slightly improved soup faction with the stuff people had been asking for?
>>98830191Insane how Kharadron Overlords are one of the most inspired armies GW has ever released with fun lore, gameplay gimmicks, and good sculpts, but they're pretty much done nothing with them after the initial release.
>>98831174They aren't.
Updated this image from the community article. They had to be doing this on purpose.
>>98831227>but they're pretty much done nothing with them after the initial releasethat's practically all aos ranges
>>98831232Just picked up the endless spells from someone for 20 bucks, might just use em for objectives/terrain and the little dragon dude as a proxie monster.
>>98831198Ya know that whole thing was such a nothingburger it didn't even cross my mind when it came back up and I read that whole trilogy of books. Mostly because Ushoran is just a completely different character now and was a nothingburger before.
>>98831232Wait, are the diaper babies aka basic infantry getting squatted? I still see them on the webstore.
>>98831240I suppose.
>>98831227They got a decent size wave of kits this edition. Dual build ones at that.
>>98831193>one hundred and fifty fucking witch elves and sisters of slaughterMorathi's stronger soldier>>98831217I do think DoK will be souped but I don't think they'll lose any units honestly. They're all pretty different from each other, and they have far less foot heroes.>>98831232>4 foot heroes pictured>coincidentally all the squatted onesRough
>>98831232>>98831264probably because that's from an old photoshoot when that was the entire range?
>>98831254Yeah the basic berserkers, they're keeping the elite infantry with flamethrowers and swingy flails, the warcry warband, the newer heroes, and the droths.Pizza oven, basic infantry, OG foot heroes (axe man, staff man, duel wield man, and uhhh one one other nerd)>>98831264>I do think DoK will be souped but I don't think they'll lose any units honestly. They're all pretty different from each other, and they have far less foot heroes.That's what I'm figuring, they basically got dickall anyways and witch elves are too iconic to just drop. I'd expect just a dark elf faction to be palced into the game and them to slot in like Fyreslayers into Khazlid (snake ladies, harpy ladies, witch elves will all slot in very well!)
>>98831281>and uhhh one one other nerd)Come on now banner man is pretty obvious
>>98831286I thought he was sticking around actually
>>98831281Weird given how the diaper babies are better sculpts than the elites.
>>98831264>Morathi's stronger soldierI'm horrified to have to paint that much skin, but the deal was hard to pass up.
>>98831289They're loincloths, DAD
>>98831288The purge of first wave foot heroes ended up being complete.
>>98831288That's what the rumours said but it turned out to be the one mistakeIn hindsight it makes sense I suppose
I was actually somewhat tempted to get the new dorfs but this Fyreslayers thing really left a bad taste in my mouth. Just gonna use that money for more slayers instead.
>>98831306Kind of wish Chaos Dwarves would have leaned more on blood and death to leave fire space for the Fyreslayers.
>>98831332Get some KO instead.
>>98831340I have those too. I have pretty much every kind of dwarf come to think of it.no they're not painted
>>98831035The continual nerfing of Auric Hearthguards, a unit that was never even good, always makes me sad>Used to be able to totally restrain a unit>then it was they could maybe reduce their movement by up to half>Now it's roll 50 dice to maybe reduce their movement by 1" literally useless.
>>98831168Paradoxically, this will probably end up being true. After beating the shit out of Fyreslayers and enslaving them to a much lamer army, GW will finally feel financially empowered to give them a second wave.
>>98831297I don't really understand why people find skin so daunting. Painting a face? Sure. Eyes are a motherfucker. But the rest of the body? Na, that's fair straight forward. A lot of the stuff people paint have well-defined muscle and bone structure, so figuring out where the lighter bits go is piss easy.Speaking of painting skin - does anyone have any good darker skin recipes? I'm looking to paint some chocolate elves for DoK scheme and I need something around the caramel or mocha spectrum - maybe a little darker.
>>98831358I can paint gross skin and weird skin, but painting normal human skin terrifies me because having someone look normal is not something I've had to do often.
>>98831010> I love talking about /mydudes/ to people that want to hear it.Tell me about it. Also let me know how you even set up a narrative campaign and if you got examples let me know. That sounds pretty cool but I don’t think I know anyone nearby who does them
>>98831348Diaper babies are fortunately easy to paint.
IM SO FUCKING SICK OF TERF
>>98831035> Sold so badly the lore writers just kill 90% of your faction offDwarfs will never recover from this
>>98831381Yeah Fyreslayers surprisingly almost paint themselves. A very easy army to crank out even for a beginner.
>>98831381I just can't seem to decide on a color scheme. I think I want to go with black beards and black/orange striped mohawks. Or maybe a black to orange transition but I might be biting off more than I can chew there.
>>98831382Shouldn't you be crying for attention on the Honest Fag's discord/Twitch stream? I'm sure you will have many shoulders to cry on
Why do the new dorfs get to be good but helsmiths have some of the fucking worst rules and stats in the game rn.
>>98831403I'd go with striped. I guess painting a white-black transition and then applying orange might work. Are you going for a football hooligan/ultras look?
>>98831406Moloch is not pleased.
>>98831406>>98831421Which Dwarf sacrificed multiple naked muscle bound dwarf babies to the fire?
>>98831405who?
>>98831406Different writers. This book was probably written around the time the Helsmiths book got dropped, and the response was generally 'the Helsmiths rules suck balls.' Or they just got the non shit writer, unlike Helsmiths and OBR
>>98831358Real skin tends to have a bit of a warm glow to it due to the blood and tissue underneath especially lighter skin tones and all skin tends to change color subtly across the body like the back of your hand vs your palm. A lot of the paints that are supposed to be for pale skin like rakarth flesh tend to look drab and lifeless. I feel you need really good layering and shading to make it look truly alive and not like paint. Also minis like DoK are harder to paint than muscular dudes like fyreslayers since they have smooth skin and you can’t rely on shades filling in the crevices as much.
>>98831306Kek>>98831421>>98831435I’m kind of surprised we don’t get more imagery like this for them
>>98830982I wouldn’t put it past them but I doubt it >>98831025Great tits
>>98831493She’s described as having soot and coal on her face because she’s always in the mines
>>98831501>She’s described as having soot and coal on her face because she’s always in the mines
>>98831501Also, I get where GW was going with the dual hairbun helmets and the Valaya golems, but man they look stupid. The sideways crest Valayan guard actually look great.
>>98831501Oh wait I got her confused with inghilde
>>98831540The crest+halberd will probably be the best looking combo.
Da ancestor gods.
>>98831513>>98831598Keep reposting king
>>98831540>The sideways crest Valayan guard actually look great.well yeah they're basically straight up vikang helmets
>>98831598Why does Grimnir look like a cat?
>>98831598valaya cute
>>98831614because he's a pussy
>>98831094So like over halfway into the games life
>>98831513Hell Yeah
>>98831614You tend to look different after having your essence merged with the angriest lizard in the universe
>>98831636We're not so different you and I
>>98831513It literally looks like he's taking a leafblower to that ogre's face.
>>98831651Looks like a gun to me
>>98831598>Thorgrim got the greenskins to scamper off with a stern lookHe's still got it. Also the Whitebeard & Inghilde stuff is great.
>>98831436If you don’t know then don’t worry about it. It’s better you don’t know
>>98831382just put your own terminator stacks against their terminator stacks30 vs 30 terminators match LETS FUCKING GO
>>98831157I look forward to the new AoS 5 lore where Teclis wipes out every Idoneth squatting them from the gameMeanwhile Eldar get a brand new range of Exodites and TOW get new refreshed High Elves
>>98831629no, the editions didn't last the same amount of time, 1st, 2nd and third together were 9 years, 4th and 5th lasted 8 years in total, and the last 3 editions were across 15 years.but also this doesn't really take into account that gw didn't grow or develop its IPs at the same paces across those years either, so we can't even apply this same timeframe to aos, I do hope gw finds ots footing with it and we are going to see a more solid setting going forward though.
>>98831727>Meanwhile Eldar get a brand new range of Exodites and TOW get new refreshed High ElvesThen again Jes Goodwin is retired now, so...
>>98831513dwarf throwing is back?

>>98831513>fucking biggers
>>98831611My wife
>>98831739Man I just want an army that isn't eel spam for 10 years
Does Temporarily Out of Stock basically mean No Longer Available for Fyreslayers? We know they're leaving...
>>98831795For vulkites and the heroes that are leaving? Yeah they're not making any new ones lol.If it's magmadroths or the other stuff that's staying around then I imagine it's just a case of reboxing from fyreslayers boxes to khazalite ones.
>>98831755>look up the songThis might be the most tryhard cringe thing I've ever seenhttps://youtu.be/ViXtxlr7xtQ
>>98831795GW has never been very consistent with it. Temporarily Out of Stock usually means it's coming back. Last Chance to buy means it's definitely not coming back. But sometimes things stay Temporarily out of stock until they just disappear.
>>98831394We play AoS, our whole game sold so badly they killed it off. Have a little empathy.>>98831629Glad someone beat me to it but the first few eds were much faster to come out. Some like 5e were really short.
Give me Khazalite leaks and my first born son is yours
>>98832035That just makes you a helsmith
>>98832058Khazalite literally are just Helsmiths with all the coolness sanded off. KO are the cool order dwarves.
>>98832065>"These aren't your Dad's boring dwarves that dig underground and stupid shit">"Actually, where did you Dad go? He bought a lot more models."Khazalite Holds in a nutshell.
>>98832065why choose?
>>98832103Acceptable.
>>98832035>first born son>sonWe don't do that in Azyr.
>>98832103Those are the two models they chose for that? Really? They’re just rubbing it in our faces now aren’t they
>>98832126They made this the cover. They've been nothing but honest.
>>98832103>Dwarfs get a fun army of renown that allies in Kharadron>No pact of sea and shadow army of renown for elves Lmao
What the fuck do you mean that the ancestor gods are up and walking about
>>98832189have you been living under a rock?
>>98831513It almost looks like a normal gun from here
>>98832189Avengers have to assemble. We can't have organic storytelling and world building, bring on the Named Characters!
>thought I had only 20 vulkites>realize I have 2 magmadroths from start collectings and another 10 vulkites from fjori's flamebeaerers so something's not right>search all my shoeboxes>find another 10 vulkitesThank you Grimnir.
>>98832249>realize I have 2 magmadroths from start collectingsSpeaking of which. How far we've fallen.
>>98832189>>98832220They're doing the same thing they've done since 1st edition?Hell grombrindal is by far the most active one and he's been doing that since whfb days
>>98832262Okay but does that mean hashut is going to make an entrance
>>98832220Sometimes I wonder if GW seethe every day that they are forced to make a wargame like AoS and 40k and not something like Marvel Crisis Protocol
>>98832280Mark my words they'll do it if their stock keeps going down
>>98832296Imagine if they do the exact same thing that AMG did with Legion and ShatterpointI would be laughing my way to the suicide clinic
>>98832220>>98832262
>>98832367Let's be honest, all of us are in too deep already or we'd have ditched GW years ago. How many bad decisions, squattings, price hikes and controversies have we all seen by now? Too many to count.
>>98832375Linked that other guy by mistake but I think it’s noteworthy how often people rush and trip over their own dick and balls to go “OH ITS JUST LIKE MARVEL IM POGGING” At every opportunity with no hint of irony. Really interesting how people think about things they hate so much
>>98832375You already posted that in /wfg/, get some new material from twitter.
>>98832189Did you wake up from a coma or something
>>98832429The ancestors lied.Sigmar lied.Alarielle lied.Teclis lied.Tyrion lied.Morathi lied.Mathlann lied.
>>98832446Gork n Mork ain’t lied to me yet
>>98832449Only Order gods lie. Everyone else are standup chaps. Especially those Chaos blokes, very trustworthy.
>>98832256To be fair even for the already good start collectings these were a standoutCarried fyreslayers for half a decade
>>98832492I'm glad that despite all the drama they're at least getting a good spearhead now.
>>98832531That's how you know they're getting desperate on them
>>98832533Surely they were desperate 3 years ago when they launched the initial box too...
King of loving the Khazalite rules thus far. A mixed army of Khaza, Fyreslayer and, in some cases, Kharadron sounds fun af to me
>>98831101Damn that is fucking fast. No river barge but a speedboat.Kinda fun though. Overall I like the geomancy thing they're doing with new dorfs.
>>98831101Imagine drunk driving that thing.
So assuming nighthaunt possessed armour is every coming out, would you guys prefer a 5 man squad of elite infantry or a 3 man squad of bigger "monstrous" infantry like golems, ironguts, annihilators, etc?
>>98832664Imagine? They're dwarfs.
>>98832689Literal tortured stormcast and chosen armors.
>>98832446Only a few of those lied. I don’t lie. Those titties don’t lie. My hips don’t lie. Need gf like that…
>>98832367what did they do
>>98832452I'm reminded that Khorne spent ~100 years giving therapy to Khul to help him get over his personal vendettas.
>>98832727That can be arranged
>>98831598Lmao fuck you nagash
>>98831598I'm glad they sent this out. Hopefully in the future, the Holds will get models for more units related to the other Ancestor Gods, like priests and elite units for Gazul and Throgrim, and Gholems for Thorgrim.
>>98831598Aww Grombrindal has a girlfriend
>>98831598Grungni's rune is a little different from the one he put on the SCE armor. It's been rotated 45 degrees.
>>98832941The vertically cursed perceive runes at a different angle
>>98832831I was thinking more conventional, just the stormcast/chosen armor but with all decorations removed and battered enough to look like the same plates some of the nighthaunts are wearing.Also no capes or wings or fancy shit, they just drag the tortured soul of the previous inhabitant behind them as that one writhes in pain, tries to escape from the tears in the rear armor, or holds onto the ground in desperation.
>>98832938They're siblings, not blood related tho.
>>98832964I remember talk about this in a thread months ago but my pitch for haunted armour was that they were the souls of warmongering nobles, specifically those too craven to ever set foot on the battlefield yet sent thousands of others to their deaths to fulfill their ambitions. Then they get forever melded to their armours, always at the frontlines of the nighthaunt.I really like the edgy little fitting punishment theme nighthaunt have.
>>98832986Needs some coal dust on her to be accurate.
>>98831598This is neat.They should breed demigod dwarfs if they're literally walking around. But I guess even the goddess of fertility is barren and sexless in this setting.
>>98833011Godhood is not stored in the balls.
>>98832218Still annoyed about that. Surely it wouldn't be that hard to come up with a magitek gun that still actually looks like a gun...>>98833011Iirc Grungni has some working on the anvil of apotheosis, the six smiths.
>>98831513It's because the stock is depicted as metal in that art. So I assume painting the actual model's stock like metal might have a similar effect.
>>98833056They look like fucked up winchesters desu in the art.
>>98832995she went through the effort of prettying herself up for the dat- I mean, walk, with her big brother
>>98833056What is the stock in the boxart paintjob even supposed to be? Green stone or something?
>>98831513Is this the guy who always draws bolters super flat? I guess it works out sometimes.
>>98833086no
I just hate emThe guns the armor, the basic clothes, the heads. It's all so ugly.
>>98833130Me too, anon, me too.
>>98832415>Guy who only knows how to respond to criticism with boss baby gif"Getting some real boss baby jpeg vibes from this"
>>98833130They look so unfitting, they look like the old lasguns and the Cadian green armor doesn't helpThese are better squats than the actual Leagues of Votann were
>>98833169Nah votann are actually cool
>>98833176Lmao this poster started the game in 8thMock him
>>98833176Votann have nothing going on. Their only solo book is an obese landwhale Shaniqua on the cover.
>>98833176Im really struggling to find something to like in the votann. I guess that mastermind character and the not marine robots?
>>98833185Who gives a fuck about BL slop?
>>98833183Anon... 8th was 10 years ago...
>>98832994Being a nighthaunt would be about as uncomfortable as a nubbly wool blanket for someone who was previously a chaos chosen. You'd have to have never opened a Slaves/Warriors of Chaos battle tome to think that Death and Chaos have comparable tortures.
>>98833130they look like kids in booster seats with nerf guns. awful
>>98833219What does that have to do with anything
>>98833225You and the other anon were discussing "Stormcast/Chosen armor". If you meant "heavy plate" instead, then there's been a misunderstanding, but if you legit mean Dullahans made from the spirits and armor of chaos chosen as mentioned, that makes no sense.
>>98833257I think you misunderstood. Anon suggested nighthaunt haunted armour should be stormcast/chosen. I then gave my pitch about them being the punished souls of nobles.
>>98833212Everyone who wants an actual story.
>>98833316Right, your idea makes sense. I don't think the other one does. The SCE are already turning into cursed spirits trapped in armor, and Chosen already have way more going on than the nighthaunt do.
>>98832986Feel like chisato from Henpri is a better image for her, but unless you’re Japanese you probably never heard of the title.
>>98831380>I don’t think I know anyone nearby who does themThe most important thing is having people you can rely on to keep a schedule and do the work that needs doing (i.e. painting, writing rules, writing fluff, GM-related tasks, etc). If you don't have anyone like that, you're gonna need to either recruit people you know, or meet people through your LGS (online is a possibility, but people tend to be noncommittal since there are no consequences for shit behaviour).>let me know how you even set up a narrative campaignWe usually do escalating narrative campaigns spread over the course of a year. The smaller initial scale lets people start new stuff or use existing collections, and the time gives people a chance to flesh everything out.Generally, the process goes something like...>1. Factions are picked>2. Foundational lore is created (i.e. key characters, starting locations, goals, gimmicks, etc)>3. Rules are created, discussed, and agreed upon>4. GM is chosen (if not rotating)>5. Schedule is set for campaign meta game turns>6. Campaign starts>7. Meetups for battles are scheduled as they happen>8. Rules & lore are added/amended as neededI find the campaign meta game (think a 4x game or a Total War overworld) is really the linchpin to organizing what we do. Everyone submits actions to the GM weekly, so participation is consistent even when there are no meet-ups. The GM tracks everything and makes any important announcements (i.e. a battle has to be scheduled, someone achieved some narrative milestone, or an interesting curveball is thrown). The meta game also allows people to drop in and out, or play as many, or as few, games as they want.This year, I'm currently running beastmen in a Fantasy campaign. The plan for next year is an AoS campaign. I want to run Helsmiths, but I don't think the range will be expanded enough in time, so I'm leaning towards DoK or GSG.
>>98832986>>98833420Either is a good idea but she needs to be shy and a cute
>>98833189Their core and weaponry are cool as are their ships and gimmicks and the fact they hunt Tyranids like whales Some lame stuff here and there but nothing egregiously bad
Did the Khazalid news really reenergize you all again? This place has been booming since that day
Any advice people got for kitbashing? I’m thinking of using my leftover rat parts to add a bunch of extra limbs and heads to my moulder themed clan rats.
>>98833459I like dwarfs.
>>98833459I like the lore and the rules.
>>98833459For whatever reason this thread tends to be more active in the second half of the year. Wfg tends to be the opposite, I have no idea what causes this.
>>98833475Include stitches: drill holes, roll and flatten greenstuff, cut strips, push strips into the holes You'll mainly just want to blend the bits with disgusting swollen skin or fabric. Use ball bearings or something if you don't want to wait for rolling epoxy, blend around them even they're placed to smooth it out
>>98833459I mean, I play Fyreslayers. All this news is highly relevant for me.
>>98833218The nudes wave has been a disaster for this hobby
>>98833653T-the what?
Kruels are best when they’re like Mordor orks
>TQ: pic relI get why it is so, but I'm so sad my all-shooty CoS list died with the Battletome. +3" on shooting was funny as fuck with this lad.
What’s a good shade to use for light grey fur. Current paints are stormvermin fur base coat then a celestra grey drybrush and I plan on doing some layering or drybrushing with grey seer after shading
>>98833783I'd use a blueish grey
>>98833653>nudes waveEleaborate
>>98833703Hats off to you anon, your understanding of skin is very advanced>>98833764The guy in the crows nest looks so fucking hyped to be here lol>>98833783My all time favorite, one of the most amazing shades of all time, incredibly versatile shade is "Vallejo dark grey wash" . Vince venturella recommended jt in a video years ago and I think it's incredible; undiluted it makes an excellent dark tone but it dilutes with water incredibly well as a neutral shade. Doesn't necessarily help you right now but I'm a huge fan.
>>98833959>Hats off to you anon, your understanding of skin is very advancedOh thats not mine, I just found it on socials and reposted it.
>>98833703im partial to the green scheme myself
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeedSXwuammCool tip for skin, I'm gonna incorporate this into my minis>>98833968It's really hard to beat the box art a lot of the time. I feel that way about std.
