What do you normally play and with who?
How much does GW pay to push this woke slop?
So happy to get my GW AoS payment straight from Tel Aviv. I would shill ToW instead but GW doesn't allocate a psyops budget to failed side projects.
How do I get more money from GW for posting about AoS? I have a family to feed.
how about we post some models instead
>>98923670you need to have a YouTube channel, paint with the fastest most soul crushing techniques and paints, and pretend to be a woman.
>>98923676cool kurnothi
>>98923691You new remember GW showcasing some "community paintjobs" of youtubers or whatever who got gitmob products early and one of them was literally just a hastily slopped on basecoat
>>98923676I painted this last year
>>98923670Even GW employees proper get paid like minimum wage because you work there out of love for Warhammer. You can do better, anon!
>>98923670Start posting about how much you hate it, and how Based and Redpilled TOW is. That seems to be their current strategy.
>>98923532It sells. Record breaking year every year they push more woke.
>>98923676I have to go back to painting. I still have some free minis to paint
Is the start collecting a good starting point for gits? None of the spearhead to be found in my area anymore (only the gitmob one which I'm not interested in)It's very similiar to the spearhead; has a loonboss and a unit of rockguts, but no stabbas and regular squigs instead of bounders.
>>98923833If it's cheaper than RRP and you want the models, yeah. Read the rules then their warscrolls on wahapedia and decide for yourself.
>>98923740Nice squigga anonYou almost never see this guy built with the sickle
>>98923943Thanks, I felt like it matched the shoes, this is the other side
>>98923676my LGS has the battleforce with the 3 treelords and 6 kurnothi on discount for about 200 USD. It's a huge discount for some awesome models that will probably make up over 1k points. Unfortunately it's still a big purchase with a lot of plastic I'd need to paint and I don't like many of the models outside of the kurnothi and treelords. Anyway nice kurnothi, they look awesome especially the bases
>>98923833depends how cheap you can get the box. Sadly they don't have a discount box for anything outside of gitmob. The troggs are good and the squigs are fine in their respective battle formations, I hear that night goblins are nothing special so the loonboos won't be much use unless you really really want to play moonclan and run lots of stabbas. Most people run trolls or squigs. If you want to play trolls, i'd skip the box and try to get 6 trolls instead even if you need to pay a little extra. They also got a troggoth themed christmas box last year that will get you most of the way there for a trogg army. see if you can find it for MSRP or lower
>>98923494How do you go about to get people to play this game? I have friends who are still, deep in the "I hate AoS just because" mood. The game seems great fun, and the miniatures are miles ahead 40k in my opinion. I have several armies, a fully painted board, tried to invite for smaller games on a regular basis, but alas, no games where played...
>>98924406If they don't want to play they don't want to play.
>>98924379It's like a good 35% off I think, which seems nice
does anyone here play SCE? I heard they're actually hard to play and require good setup and positioning. What's their usual gameplan, like their win condition in most games? Also do they have a good points-to-dollar ratio? I like their heroes and melee infantry. The vindicators (that's the spearmen) and Vigilors (archers) are my favorite and they have some cool foot heroes like Bastian and the relictors. I've been on the lookout for some cheap secondhand models recently>>98924406if they hate the game just because for no reason then forget them, find other people to play with
>>98924406Damn, my suggestion was to invite people to play with your minis but if they won't do even that, you might have to relegate yourself to hobbying.
How are the sylvaneth spearheads? Both for spearhead and translating to an AoS army list
Hmm, interesting, this is from tournament attendance numbers for respective years. What's going on in France?
>>98924436Idk about the new one but the old spearhead is really really good in game, and also just a great starting point for an army.
>>98924424Based on tournament data the best warscrolls are Vigilors, palladors, and dracoths. When I last played them in 3e there was a lot of deepstriking and decent shooting; I found that moreso than my own positioning my success was dependent on opponents' experience with screening out deep strikes. They have a variety of build options - giant dragon with Praetors to give it a 5++, castle style with a lot of shooting, deepstrike heavy annihilator spam, or fast and durable units like Vanguard Palladors which can run, charge, and shoot twice all in the same turn. I think right now stormdrakes are in a bad spot, so the only thing I wouldn't suggest is spamming just the Stormdrake guard. They're still repenting for their misdeeds and I hope they don't receive forgiveness for another 10 years at least.
>>98924438Can't spend all strike rioting and beating scabs. Some days you just go play Le Warhammer instead. Or work's closed cuz of riots, so Le Warhammer instead.
>>98924505Uhhh holy based?
>>98924481Thanks. Prolly gonna wind up as my order army whenever I get around to them
I just realized that the reason i'm way more into AoS than 40k is because the game has a lot of armies with beastiaries (i play mainly ogors and seraphon).If you could add new animals and beasts to your favorite faction, what would you like to see? Things like mounts, big monsters, packs, anything goes.
>>98924635>IronjawzRogue Idols, gore gruntas refreshed to be more pigheaded like the maw gruntas, armored squigs (I know this is a pipe dream and not in line with the range, so I’ll settle for armored pigs or ‘gore krushas’)
>>98924635Lamassu.
>>98924635I’d love LRL to get a 3 man Lion Rider heavy cav unit to evoke White Lions in a new way. For IDK it’s gotta be a stingray- riding 2 cast wizard and an Embailor unit with a menagerie. Fish swarms, barracuda, and a big(like 80mm) octopus.
>>98924644Forgot to add but I do know there’s that 3d print for the grunta heads that does that, I just think GW should give a better model
>>98924635>gsgThat squigosaur thing from 40kAlternatively, refreshed spiderfangOh, and that centipede thing from the tome
>>98924635gnashtoof cavalry for kruleboyz, colossal squig for gsg, and more zombie monsters like undead troggoths for sbgl
>>98924669A squiggosaurus rex deserves a mad orc as rider, not a goblin.
>>98924635I am overrall pleased with everything ogors have, but i really want to see an update for the beastclaw monsters and specially the rhinox model, and maybe a new hero like the old icebrown hunter that comes with his own beast pack, something like maybe an beastmaster ogor.
>>98924687If they can handle the manglers they can handle the shark
I need some kind anon to help me, please.I'm looking for the Kurnothi army box, since they're the obvious next choice for a release. However, when I go to the Games Workshop webstore, all I can find under new releases for Age of Sigmar is some sort of dwarf faction no one asked for, and which clearly no one is buying.Where are the Kurnothi? My browser must have glitched or something. Thank you in advance.
>>98924799Why are you so insistent about being annoying?
>>98924773Just because they're hanging on for dear life doesn't mean they're actually handling anything.
>>98924824Still better than 40kg getting spammed by vtuber subhumans.
>>98924867I like the Settra poster fwiw
Speaking of sylvaneth, do you reckon they could have a naval force of some kind? Or would they occupy the coral life and terraform it?
>>98924875Coral reef sylvaneth sounds fuckin kino
>>98923494>TQLately I play exclusively with my wife since our weekends are too busy to go to LGS. A big game once a month, smaller games every 2-3 weeks. We played Spearhead for a bit but after 6 months of no new content we dropped it and came back to playing the 1st edition. We even decided to start new armies - she settled on Sylvaneth but I'm a bit torn between Hammers of Sigmar SCE, Bloodbound and BCR.
>>98924884It's more likely than you think
>>98924875They did an undersea attack on Briomdar in a WD issue from a few years back. Turns out they can literally just walk on the seafloor if they really feel the the need to. Scared the shit out of the fish elves.
>>98924886BELLY MAW
>>98924938They turned the kelp forest into Vietnam.
>>98924875No one's talking about sylvaneth?
Long lapsed Fyreslayer and KO player who last played in 2e here, is AoS worth returning to in 4e? I had to move for a new job across the US around the end of 2e and never got around to finding any local hobby scene, so my armies were left in boxed and languishing. I had a hobby bro from my old town reconnect and tell me that Fyreslayers were nuked and the remainders shoehorned into some new Dwarf book. How are the KO doing in 4th edition now that my main army is useless without the new miniatures? I have 40ish Arkanauts, 20 or so Thunderers and a mix of Endrins and Wardens - 12 or so? Two or three frigates, bunch of gun haulers and an Ironclad, if that is of any help. I miss playing my gunboats and well drilled firing lines.
can someone share the 3rd episode of the arkunouts, I got the other two, then had terrible luck, and only now got back to normal, and i missed it when it was shared on the 30th
I've only the first episode. Someone give plz
>still the best duel in all of aos
>>98925298was there another?
>>98925298Honestly it was a cool as fuck fight. Two gods duking it out over a battlefield and a sacred mountain, teleporting to space to continue fighting and farm aura on each other, coming back down, then Nagash getting chained to said sacred mountain while the Luminarks all focus fired to disintegrate him.
>>98925018you're fyreslayer army is likey very dead, but the stuff that is dead could be proxied for the new khazalid stuff. Khadrons are fully intact with some new toys here and there but ruleswise are kinda in the can. if you have a scene I Would just try out the game with khadrons and if you're impressions are positive ( it likely wont with how in the gutter khadrons are rn) then i'd consider the khazalite souping army list that has the ability to let you soup normal dwarves, khadrons and fyreslayers.
>>98925308Arkhan vs eltharion comes to mind
>>98925018>fyreslayers>returning Top lel. the army just got nuked and it's back to being just the AOS slayers of the new Dwarf army.
>>98925018you can still play your firedorfs alone, it's just that you have to count berserkers as "clanshields".
Fyreslayer will return in Age of Sigmar: The Last Worldno seriously they're getting a refresh berzerker unit and some droth heavy cav
Just preordered the Maggotkin boxHow should I paint them? I'm thinking christmas colors.
>>98925491
>>98925502Orange and teal
>>98925502no greencadaveric blue skin with purplish veins and reddish rusty armor with oxidised bronze here and there, the ground is muddy earth with dying black or yellow grass, while all clothes are either black or cream coloured or a pattern of the twoeach and every pustule or boil is painted as an eye while the actual models' eyes are carved out and bleeding
>>98925502if it ain't broke don't fix it
>>98925343>>98925385>>98925393I had no idea the state of Fyreslayers was as dire as it is now. Not a fan of the Khazalid Dwarves so I'll probably just play old editions or retire my Fyreslayers. I saw that Spearhead is a thing and have everything needed for Kharadrons so I will see if the local scene has people playing it. Thanks dudes.
>>98925502The christmas box? Is it already for preorder?
>>98925576No, but his LGS might do it in advance.
>>98925576My LGS does it in advance
>>98925560The following units are gone:>vulkites>battlesmith>runemaster>grimwrath>doomseeker>terrain and spellsYou can just proxy your vulkites for hearthguard and the heroes should be obvious enough.But we'll see if pure Fyreslayers will actually be viable at all. In any case don't do anything drastic with your models.
What is your favourite battletome ever and why? Do you even have one?
>>98925609There was a lot of conversation around disciples of tzeentch with its second edition battletome. That’s the only memorable thing I can say about it.
>>98925609Legions of Nagash with infinite respawning skeleton bricks
>>98925018fyreslayers is definitely still playable. in fact mono-fyreslayers in the new book look incredibly strong because to compensate for the squatted models, the remaining models got some really insane new stats and abilities. so dont throw out your fyreslayers just yetas for KO? they're a top placing army. still fiddly to play as ever, but they consistently do well in events and play the missions and battle tactics like champs. the sad news here is that thunderers for whatever reason were giga nerfed and do basically zero damage now, you only take a minimum squad for their utility but thats about it (same thing happened to blightkings for maggotkin or pigs for ironjawz, theres a trend of dumpstering units that were popular last edition). endrinriggers are good and very cheap, wardens are more pricey but they are now the hardest hitting unit in the book and a core piece of KOs muscle often paired with brokk and a frigate. an ironclad with 20 arkanauts is also a common pick. i havent seen a ton of gunhauler spam these days, their offensive profile is pretty anemic but you can still probably find room for 1 or 2 in a list. KO also got a new dual box in the form of harpoon crew/salvagers, which are somewhere inbetween arkanauts and wardens as a sort of medium assault troop. the harpoon crew get a techy combat phase move that makes them slippery and a better shooting profile, the salvagers have a better melee profile and a rend buff so they're more straightforward chargers whereas the harpoon crew are more skirmishy
>>98925609CoS 2e+3e, Ironjawz 1e, and FS 2e tomes are my favorite, but amongst them CoS 2e is the one I'd pick for the balance of lore, artwork, painting guides, and unit variety.
>>98924867Any example? That doesn’t sound so bad when you take other stuff into account>>98924875Sounds like that would be more of an IDK thing
>>98925646The one guy that threw a moon around is still my favorite>>98924505Unironically kind of surprising how popular it is over there
>>98925732>>98925018a quick TLDR on what fyreslayers have to work with now-gotrek is now a fyreslayers unit. hes less powerful than he used to be but also half the cost, still very fighty and tough, and now interacts with some of the army rules. -new named character ormyr. has 2 different buffs for droths and can also shut down shooting or casting units he gets close to. also kinda fighty with 8 multi damage attacks and 10 health-runefather on droth. fighty as hell, has a once per game waaagh of 12" radius +1 attack buff. also has a -1 save debuff. also all droths bleed mortal wound lava when struck-runeson on droth: can transport your infantry like a KO boat, and has a horde buster rampage-smiter on droth: priest, has a different hordebuster rampage, and has a +1 to wound buff. solid-father on foot: this guy is huge. gets to pick a single unit for a retinue. he gets a 4+ ward while near them, and if you can power him up, he gives that whole unit a 4+ ward too. so you can get a squad of 36 wounds worth of flameseekers on a 4+ ward. crazy-runeson on foot: 12" aura of +2 to charge rolls. incredibly good-smiter on foot: priest with +1 to chant, can hand out +2 movement to a friendly unit for free-flamekeeper: has his wonky roll based on units dead, but hands out +1 damage to a squad, still very strong-exile: deepstriking fight first combat guy with damage 3 attacks on the charge. can move on the enemy turn if powered up. currently some weird tech where you make him the general and suicide him for grudge tokens-flameseekers: the new bread and butter. lots of health, lots of attacks, utterly shuts down monsters. really solid core troop unit, basically vulkites+++-shooty hearthguard: kinda mid but they have a hit debuff which could be clutch against 4+ to hit armies like destruction-hearthguard berz: not quite the powerhouses they used to be but still solid. give themselves and nearby heroes a 5+ ward while they're together
>>989256091st IDK and 2nd BoK were kino as fuck.
>>98925838>>98925018also, even if you dont like the new khazalite stuff, the khazalite heroes mostly work with the fyreslayers units (most of the buffs in the army just require the khazalites keyword which everything has) so you can just pick and choose a runewright or hjulda to include alongside your otherwise fully fyreslayers force, or even proxy them with some off your own older fyreslayers heroes that are now defunct (the runemaster could be a runewright for example). plus the fyreslayers have been asking for golems for a while, and now we can take golems, so thats a win in my book. still sucks that we lost a lot of heroes and the vulkites, but there are definitely silver linings to be found in the new situation, and the fyreslayers definitely still work as their own stand alone army
>>98925894Forgot the **The rest will be squatted once edition later.
>>98925905Doomer get ye gone
>>98925910It's a legitimate concern at this point. Cool if you got fyreslayers left but I really would advice against making a new fyreslayer based or hybrid army.
I'm blessed with a really active local scene that semi-regularly hosts tournies. That said i've not been in months, feel totally mentally checked out till TLW stuff is announced.
>>98925905if they were going to actually squat the whole fyreslayers range they would have done it right now, like they did with beastmen or bonesplitters and just axe the whole thing in one go
>>98925919Literally no one has been saying this except braindead doomers. Actual leakers are more positive.
Can I get some of that midterms grade copium?
>retarded doomers still seething that no one is dumb enough to believe them
Is there a helsmiths novel?
>>98926034No, but the longer they go without one the more likely it is to be accurate to the battletome’s lore.
>>98926034First Marshal has them as antagonists
>‘This craft of yours have any more tricks, captain?’>The duardin was huddled near the aether-endrin, along with several other battered looking crewmen, muttering. He glared at Volker. ‘We used up all our tricks on the Great King, lad. Nothing left but fists and sharp sticks.’ He stood and drew his cutlass. He rubbed blood out of his face, smearing it into his hair and beard. He grinned savagely, and for a moment, the divide between Kharadron and fyreslayer didn’t seem so great. ‘Sometimes, it’s better that way.’Spear of Shadows is pretty fun.
>>98926091It was the novel that got me into AoS after succumbing to Space Marine fatigue in 8th.
Is this going to happen? I also heard rumors say that Malerion/Malekith is going to be corrupted by Slannesh.
>>98925609Maggotkin, 3rd edition best, but 2nd close behind. They were magical, they not only made me want to read BG but were also full of ideas, like the cycle, that 4th basically destroyed in its quest for blandness, they made for the most cancerous, miserable play experience ever with help from other Chaos books. I remember fondly using Glottkin, a Sloppity Bilepiper, Be'lakor, 2 cockatrices in a mostly demonic list. "My Varanguard fight" "Dark master says no.""Chosen are going to fight." "Yeah, the two that reach because you can't pile in, but they hit on a 6, go on.""The Prince smacks the Glottkin." "Good, AoD and the cycle gives it ward 4+."
>>98926111Im really not quite sure anyone can say they liked maggotkin in third with disease points or whatever being a chore to keep track of.
>>98924687Orcs have literally zero interaction with or interest in squigs
>>98925609I'll just go with 1e Fyreslayers because it got me into AoS and it's still a fun read.
>>98926122That's funny. 40k orks freaking love squigs but AoS orks don't give a crap.
>>9892613140k doesn't have Goblins in any important roles, unlike Fantasy/AoS
>>98924824>>98924799If it's the same anon they've been doing this for long enough to count as dedicated, not annoying, although theyre derivative and haven't nearly the swag of Soonposter
>>9892613540k is the definition of no fun allowed. that game has been hamstrung by its slavish fanservice to the space marine since the 00s.
>>98925018>>98925343Where do people get these takes from? Kharadron is the fucking second highest win rate army. Why do larpers dissuade people by claiming X Army is bad when they're insanely off base? Again, if they were mediocre and you claimed they were bad that's one thing, but people are CONSTANTLY claiming that the top 3 armies are "in the gutter" here.
>>98926131Unfortunately for my AoS orcs, I love squigs and will force them to kiss
>>98926115I did anon, I even had custom disease tokens to put near my opponent's minis.It was never a chore, it was a delight.
>>98926122except where they do
>>98926197
>>98926203
>>98926203Good night sweet prince, you were too beautiful for this dreary world, keep rolling dice until you either destroyed a unit or blew up yourself with the mask's laser eyes.
>>98926156this thread has a handful of doomers who have no idea what they're talking about
>>98926156To be fair kharadron are always either top or bottom of this chart. Weren't they pretty bad up until a bit ago? No ko players at my lgs so can't speak from firsthand experience personally.>>98926135>>98926141I'd get into 40k if they did a proper grot (sub)faction
what the

>>98926332lore accurate
>>98926197You know what, you're right, they don't have literally zero interest, you have one good example and two trivial ones, I can admit that. They have one singular model at present. It still makes no sense for orcs to have a squiggoth given the fifty examples of gits taming squigs of all sizes.
>>98925975>>98926014at this point I just assume it’s bait more than anything genuine
>>98926332Why do you spend ten years on the gay trans black DEI fantasy game and then act surprised when it does gay trans black DEI shit

>>98926783yaaaaaaaaawn.
>>98925609>What is your favourite battletome ever and why? Do you even have one?Maggotkin 1st Ed Battletome, it was my intro to AoS and I was immediately hooked. They've been my main army since then.
>>98925018The Fyrebois still have legends rules so all your units still have stats in 4th

>>98925934>That said i've not been in months, feel totally mentally checked out till TLW stuff is announced.So you're never going to play again because you fell for AI slop? Nice one, retard.
These dudes are cool. Where should I start with an army? The Spearhead?
I kinda wish there were non-Sigmar and non-Chaos human nations
>>98926999Either that or a model you really like the look of that you’ll have fun painting
>>98927001There is, they're just part of the backdrop.
>>98927033I would not mind Thunderbolt Fantasy in my Warhammer
>>98927001The Shyish mortals are some of the most interesting in the setting and I would love to see them explored further.
Are Sons of Behemat hard to paint? I'm interested in painting a big guy 4u and they look freaky
>>98927148Lotta skin on bad looking models, so yeah
>>98926401Beastiality is acceptable now, chud.
It's out now, some lil nig toss me a scan of the Khazalite tome
>>98926999yeah a spearhead would be ideal. or you can get a box of their battleline/basic troop unit or a single hero that you really like. make sure to check ebay, FB marketplace or your local listings and see what you can get for cheap before you commit
>want to play flesh-eater courts because i'm edgy and so are they>apparently they're very easy to kill on the tablenyoooo
I'm torn between>expanding my gitz collection to playable army size>starting SCE>expanding my IJ spearhead to playable army sizeI like all of their models with IJ probably being the most annoying to paint since they're yellow. But they have some nice sculpts and they seem the most honest and straightforward to play. No BS or cheating, just move up the board and wait for the time to strike.I think it would be cool and funny to field like 120 stabbas and flood the board in goblins even though they suck. But I do have about 20 squig riders and 2 units of squigs so it wouldn't be so hard to lean into them instead. What bothers me is the pure amound of RNG shoved in their book for no reason. As for SCE, they have cool models and would be cheapest but I've only ever painted 1 before. I imagine they are like IJ but with more deepstriking and versatility.My main army is MoN and while I've played a few Spearhead matches I've only played a singel 1k game with them. Painting green does get boring after a while.Anyone able to weigh in here for any of these factions?
>>98926332>reddit is overrun me mentally ill retardsWhat's new?
>>98926547I like the AoS models
>>98927386i play all 3ironjawz can run pretty much anything and do well. big pigs, mawkrushas, brutes and ragers all pack a whallop. ardboyz will just hold like an iron wall for 5 turns straight against almost anything in the game, and big pigs are great battering rams. even the gore gruntas are still useful as sort of fast jammy tarpits. biggest weaknesses are their utter lack of ranged firepower meaning they dont threaten anything they arent immediately next to, and a lot of their units are kinda slow, so its easy for a clever opponent to box them in or tie them up to keep them from scoring. you will almost never get tabled though, they have some of the best armor in the game army wide, and arent very vulnerable to mortal damage either because they have a shit ton of health for relatively low points. they are super susceptible to hit penalties though, as is most of destruction. gits is a big army with a lot of playstyles. that said, you can make stabba spam with squigs work. stabbas for board control and objectives backed up by boingrot bounders and squig herd bringing the pain is a good start. the army has lots of recursion so while it dies easily, it also keeps coming back. its very possible with gits to just bury the opponent in so many scoring bodies that they can never dig their way out to gain a lead. just make sure you get the charge with your squigs, dont throw them away before they land.for stormcast you want to usually lean into the elite units (annihilators, prosecutors, reclusians, praetors, the 3 man squads and the dragon cavalry) and the big heroes (ionus, krondus, karazai, bastian, yndrasta, C-prime). that tends to be their go to strategy, its a shock and awe type of army that wants to hit hard from sudden and unpredictable angles to take out the opponents big threats all at once. it does NOT want to play the long game of attrition and holding and grinding like ironjawz or gits can (gits love long grind games)
>>98926544>nobody can tame squigs because gits do>those examples don't count because they're trivial>the other examples don't count because they're 40k>the first example doesn't count because it just doesn't, ok?let me guess, this fantasy squiggoth doesn't count either
>>98927503also a squiggoth here
>>98926332Every reddit seems to be like that year round now. The Star Trek wiki has a Pride™ Progress™ flag permanently behind its logo.>>98926547> gay trans black DEI fantasy gameHuh? He didn't mention TOW.
>>98927524also also squggoths are spiritually boars, so fundamentally orcish and not grottish
>>98927503*Squigadon
>>98927531
>>98927532
>really really want to play blades of khorne because dude violence and blood>horrible at painting and scared of trim
>>98927539The first step at getting good at something is sucking at it
>>98927539nobody is forcing you to paint trim a different colour from the rest of the armorspace marine autism doesn't matter here
>>98927539Just drybrush it and cover your mistakes with blood for the blood god or other blood effects, nobody's gonna bat an eye, you can revisit your models later and paint them better.
why did the narrative become so shit after 2nd edition?
>>98927589>wargame>narrativeanonsamatachidonokunsan I...
>>98927589because a great deal of projects were scrapped due to the old world and then gw undertook the rewriting of the setting behind the scenes during this timethe end times: electric boogaloo and the 5th edition will be once again as kino as the broken realms and age of death
>>98927532Huh.I thought it was bigger.
>>98927627that's what she said
>>98927589Lore peaked in 2nd. Broken Realms Morathi is legit my favourite piece of AoS fiction ever written (even better when one factors in the short stories released for it!)Broken Realms: Cursed Gift (Short Story)Broken Realms Morathi (Campaign Supplement)Oracle (Short Story)Broken Realms: The Price of Treason (Short Story)Broken Realms: Thicker Than Water (Short Story)Broken Realms: To Cast a Long Shadow (Short Story)This ^ is peak AoS
>>98927627you're probably thinking about the greater squiggoth
>>98927532>>98927536fr that thing be smaller than the Maw-Grunta these days lmao scale creep be cray cray
>>98927649fr ong on jah on kirk
>>98927649not even close, the maw grunta is smaller than the smaller squiggoth
>>98927598AoS is not a wargame though
>>98927663It's an experience!
>>98926802Can't wait to post the screencap here when they get squatted.
>>98927498thank you for the detailed and informative reply>ijI'm leaning to these guys hardest cause they seem to be the most comfortable and laid back. I really just want to play a cool game where I get to fight and throw a lot of dice and interact.I've played their spearhead a few times and I remember how shocked I was when my Megaboss that cleared 9/10 blissbard archers in a single combat.It's good that htey can run anything, but do you mean combined or in a skewed list? Like how ardboyz spam used to be the meta or pigs only working in a pig-only army? Do you run both the war-chanter and weirdnob in each list or pick one?>gitzThats good to hear cause I like those parts of the army most. Is the loonboss ever worth running? I want to believe I can turn stabbas into a decent damage dealer but it is probably just a waste of time. He seems pretty shit compared to the one on giant cave squig. As for casters, I assume skragrott is mandatory, but do you run any other support pieces like another shaman, gobbapalooza or snufflers?>SCE Do the elites serve as line holders or hammers or both? The big characters kind of draw the enemy's attention while the elites drop in and exploit any openings in a huge "go" turn right?
Just realized this kit gives you an awesome necromancer mini, objective marker and a bunch of random ghosts if you build the coven throne.
>>98927503They should bring these guys back for KB>>98927524Wait a fucking minute is that a golem in the back?
>>98927539I assume you're interested in the bloodboun mortals since the daemons don't have much trim or detail at all outside the BloodthirstersIf you don't want to paint the trim then just buy StD chaos warriors and paint them red. They have way less trim and more up to date models. The new StD battleforce can easily be used as a BoK box. All you need to do is get some 3rd part bases for the cavalry>run hero as a skull crusher>combine him with the 5 knights for a reinforced squad of skullcrushers>varanguard make 3 more skullcrushers >5 chosen become skullreapers or wrathmongers>10 chaos warriors become blood warriorsYou're gonna need bloodreavers. Their sculpts are old and kinda of silly/cute looking and they're also online only. Personally I have the 20 chaos marauders from TOW that I run as bloodreavers or warriors or w/e I need them as since reavers and warriors have the same base size. They're much more expensive but I love the sculpts and their generic look makes them fit more into other armies.the trim really isn't THAT bad once you find your rythm. StD and BoK are both chaos so you're painting trim either way unless you want to convert some SCE and paint them red or black.also holy shit Blood warriors from 2014 cost 72 dollars and are the same points as chaos warriors>t painted the old BoK spearhead
>>98927718yeah, also a pair of runic drakkars flying above
>>98927718>for KBKrules are thin, they don't look proper with a stocky beast.
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/f3ip2eww/bring-khazalite-might-to-armies-of-order-with-regiments-of-renown/Damn I know nobody here likes the khazalites but not even their RoR article got postedSo anyway yeah you can take picrel or some fyreslayers, nothing too major
>>98927734Why the fuck is a barefoot woman loading the cannon?
>>98927736She's pulling the ammo straight out of the ground, she's a geomancer. All the geomancer models have bare feet because the connection to the earth helps them bla bla blaNeat detail imo
>>98927736jes goodwin says that any magic related to the earth and nature needs the character to be in direct barefoot contact with the ground for better connectivityunless it's an elf male, in that case the shit he does with his gay paintbrush requires him to be isolated from the ground so he wears stilts
>>98927539Here's a fun trick:Spray prime with silver, gold or brass metallic. You can even zenithal prime with a black priming layer and preferred metallic from above to get gradient shading.Wash entire model with yellow-brown contrast or speedpaint. Wait for it to dry.Drybrush a highlight of all metals with either bright silver or light gold metallic paint.Paint all red metal areas with preferred red contrast or speedpaint.Paint non metallic areas like flesh, leather and bones.This way you don't need to worry about trim separately, just worry about painting within the lines.
>>98927734God those leafblower guns look so fucking ridiculousHow did they manage to make dwarfs with guns look uncool?
>>98927746>painting within the linesArmies for Michael J Fox tier painters like me that can't do that?It's not like I'm retarded I just have trouble staying in the lines
>>98927718GHOLEM GET YE GONE
>>98927744or he's just a footfag
>>98927748Tzeentch or nurgle. Them being weird mixed and disjointed colours is the entire point.
>>98927747Gw thinks dorfs can't have normal guns for some reason. Helsmiths have their weird abominations too. Kharadron as well, but it works for their aesthetic.The lasguns are awful though, don't know what they were smoking. There's ways to make the guns look fantastical but without going into retarded 40k territory.
>>98927760kharadron guns still look like guns for the most part
>>98927760They have the guns evil henchmen used to use in cartoons when they weren't allowed to show real guns.
>>98927718>Wait a fucking minute is that a golem in the back?Just a statue
>>98927744>>98927752>mhm, can you try this sculpt again, but remove the footwear>renove the footwear sir?>yeah, have them going about barefoot>oh, huh, okay, to emphasize their connection with nature? That's a good idea sir>y-yeah exactly, you're on the right track. Remember to pay extra attention to the soles
>>98927747Implying picrel look any better?
>>98927744I really don't get why they made that sorceress brown. Would look so much better and attract more customers if she was blonde or redhead or something.
>>98927800it does
>>98927752A man has to adapt after GW management banned high heels.
>>98927801Chocolate Water Babes
>>98927806Prince of Persia did it better
>>98927801the game wouldn't have darkwater if she wasn't in it
>>98927814ayooo
>marinefags whine that one of their 6 christmas boxsets isn't too good>gw apologizes in a video and previews a model that won't come out in 4 months >aos lingers and rots amongst squattings and the threat of a second end times>*crickets*
>this is the entire range besides the magmadroth and warcry unit
>>98927800Of course they do, they look like actual guns. The rest of the mini is boring, but the guns are better than the clangunners. Lowest bar in the world to clear, but still.
>>98927866Grimn. Dron, even.though aren't you forgetting someone?
>>98927889Gotrek isn't a fyreslayer but we can count the new character instead.
>>98927891>Gotrek isn't a fyreslayerHe is now (well, in the book that is)https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/rv6irmgo/fyreslayers-in-battletome-khazalite-holds-what-you-need-to-know/
>>98927891>Gotrek isn't a fyreslayerhow many books about him have started with him in denial of being a fyreslayer and ending with him accepting the name?I swear it's like he's trapped in some weird loop
>>98927840wait for when they officially confirm the end times 2.0
>>98927907He doesn't have the Grimmdron keyword, (for balancing reasons, probably, he also doesn't benefit from grudges) but he's the first warscroll listed in the Fyreslayer section and his little lore blurb notes that he's been "taken in" by them.
>>98927840It's very easy for gw to correct something they weren't doing vs correct something they're doing wrongAlso the masses of grimdank or whatever are still in denial over TLW rumours so they're not making a million unfunny memes about yet
>>98927840I do NOT want this game to become as mainstream as 40k. I do NOT want 40k AI loreslop and secondaries flooding the hobby and threads
>>98927992>big enough that you can walk into basically every medium size city and above and find games>not big enough that we have to deal with secondariesTruly we don't know how good we have it
>>98927889>special charactersPeople like you are what makes games lame. Yeah, yeah, your fyreslayers and my CoS decided to show up to throw hands. Also Heir of Grimnir, savior of Greywater, is here doing his shit in the background.
>>98928025>people like youThe fuck makes you think I play with named characters lol? I just pointed out he exists.
>>98928025Named characters are my favourite part of games. For instance, Alexi Stukov is my favourite character in Starcraft. The Starcraft tabletop game is releasing him as a playable unit with some sort of unique faction you get by bringing him. Therefore, I will be playing the Starcraft tabletop game.It's fun to like things, anon. Try it! :D
Huh I thought the bombards just farted out pure daemon fire, not actual ammunition. Should have depicted it on the model.
>>98928063I'm not sure what you mean. It says right there that raw energy is fired out of the barrel.
>>98928063I wonder what are the ways you can torture a demon>distorsion of its horns >dyslexic mispelling of its true name>unfortunate synonym of its true name>shameful retcon of its backstory>forced purchase of belakor memecoins
>>98928097Trying to enter their army in 40k post 9th edition
>>98927468Yes, so do I, and after ten fucking years I don't complain when that includes DEI shit. I have chud fatigue. Yes, of course there is a paint called Carthalos Skin, this is the gay black trans game. Either you like the models (based) or the DEI of it all turns you away in which case fuckin play old world and use the AoS models you like.
>>98927526Star Trek has always been a DEI property! You are not serious people.
>>98927748I can fix that for you, but it would take a day or two and you might have to buy a couple things. But there's no reason to be afraid of practice unless you have a tremor.You're probably holding your paintbrush wrong, minis wrong, wrong paint consistency, poor lighting, and no brush soap. I can try to help you get better at painting detail by addressing topics one by one and see how you end up
>>98928206This but unironically.
>>98928199>and after ten fucking years I don't complain when that includes DEI shit.why wouldn't you complain about stuff you consider shit? complaining is free, you either complain about what you find shitty or you aren't actually finding it shitty in the first place and this is just performative.
>>98928265Why do you keep eating shit from the shit vendors if you think it's shit? It clearly doesn't bother me, I don't play armies that it matters and I don't care what you play as long as you do. But for someone who cares GW has spent ten years indicating their goal for gay negroid trannyism and you STILL hang out around their properties like flies around shit. Be free anon, do something you would actually like instead of malding.
>>98928274>Why do you keep eating shit from the shit vendors if you think it's shit? I don't buy the shit I whine about, I wish ot wasn't shitty so I would want to buy some quality stuff>It clearly doesn't bother methen we go back to what I said: you don't actually find DEI shit, you actually support it and want to whine about your chud boogeyman but need to be performative about DEI shit on 4chan to not pass as a faggot.except you didn't pass.
>>98928277I don't need to be performative, it's there whether I quit GW product tomorrow or not, and I didn't find it jarring after 2e when it was clear that this game from its inception is the DEI game and every character has a sidecut. I made my peace with it and moved on. You, on the other hand, are buying products from a company whose fundamental stance on you and your opinions is contrary.
>>98928290>I don't need to be performativeand yet you're doing exactly that, by calling it shit and then immediately afterwards saying you don't mind itthe very fact of finding something shitty is minding it, if you don't mind it it's because you never genuinely found it shittyyou said you don't have a problem with it because you happen to chose a faction where it doesn't matter, while I told you that if something is shitty then I don't buy it, so theoretically we're both buying products that we selectively deem worthy enough to be bought from a company that we both agree has a shit direction as a wholeyet you've been insistent in pretending we're different and in telling me to go awaythat's because calling DEI shit was performative on your part, you're actually in support of it, and the only honest part of your posts is your enmity towards your chud boogeyman, which you now think I am and so wish me away, but there are far greater chances you kill yourself in the next 5 years than there are of me stop getting what I like and voicing what I dislike
>>98928230Nta but I would like that. Painted my first mini a couple days ago and it looked like dogshit (though I did enjoy the process)
>>98928230>brush soapwtf is this tiktok slop shite
>>98928371>>98928323>>98928290can we save this shit for /40kg/
>>98928323No, YOU are calling it shit. I don't care at all. I have exclusively referred to it as "shit" through the lens of your perception. YOU think it's shit, and keep hovering. That's what makes you a shit fly. You think it's shit and eat it. I don't think it's shit at all and have no problem with DEI stuff in AoS because, again, it's the DEI gay black trans game. I don't need to be performative, it simply is a fact that this is the game for that, not the game to complain about that
>>98928394>No, YOU are calling it shit.>>98928199>>98926547
>>98928394You deflected the entire post, by the way, it shows you were described spot on by >>98928323
Do they really have no other artwork to show for their new army?https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/cy5ccm90/meet-the-khazalite-ancestor-gods/
>>98928387How come /40kg/ gets to have everything
>>98928022That’s sadly very largely dependent on what landmass you’re living in>>98927800They sure do
>>98927589I would ask what examples you’re thinking of but I don’t wanna start anything
>>98928371Anon, a tub of brush soap is 5 dollars and turns GW brushes into detail brushes. It's part of painting better to take care of your brushes, the soap works like leave-in conditioner to point them
>>98928460That's true I'm very sorry to all kyrgyz warhammer players.
>>98928405Ok, faggot, I love DEI. I love black cocks. I love trans bussy. Now what? I spend zero part of my day crying about what does and doesn't have gay black DEI cocks in it. I support it. On the other hand, you FAGGOTS come into the DEI game after ten years to cry about Sigmarines. You don't want to do stupid identity politics? Shut the fuck up about sigmar being the gay nigher game ten years in.
>>98928042starcraft is gay though…
>>98928199Wouldn’t TOW be even worse in that regard >>98927526
>>98927734I'll gladly use them in CoS, just a shame we lost the flexibility of 2e mercenary companies, which had some 1-N versatility
>>98928491Okay, then don't play that either if you hate seeing DEI shit, play T9A or something. Either get over it or leave it alone, don't fucking hover around shit you don't like.
>>98928494NTA but no. I will keep complaining because I want it to change toward what I want
i don't have a horse in the dei race but i do find it pretty funny that it's being embraced by the lore community in what is largely an unromantic/sexless setting that lately only exists to push plastic crack.
>>98928506It won't. So you're just a fuckin loser whining.
>>98928511It changed toward it. It can change back. It will change back
every tear I shed about DEI convinces another GW design lead to abandon it we will win chudsisters
>>98928517I’m not gonna give up lol. Dunno why this is causing you to have this meltdown. Maybe trench crusade is more your speed?
>>98928517Sorry, seppo congress is blue again. You're getting a Muslim name and free healthcare to pay for your transition.
>>98928472>Ok, faggot, I love DEI. I love black cocks. I love trans bussy. Now what?now you're honest, and that's good>I spend zero part of my day crying about what does and doesn't have gay black DEI cocks in it. now you're dishonest again, and that's badlook at how much you've been crying here, all out of the blue too
>>98928527STOP THE COUNT
>>98926203>>98926208Old shit back from when they were a goblin army
Warhammer: age of sigmar?
>>98928564Fair enough. I picked up a Deathrattle spearhead and Wight King on steed to try that Valheim charred scheme. Unfortunately I’m saving them as Christmas presents so I’m not gonna be able to touch em yet. In the meantime, I’m debating if they should do the metal as bronze with verdigris or rusted iron

>>98928606Not really a model worth even looking at here.
>>98928619The wardancer is alright
>>98928494I don’t really agree but regardless I was just pointing that out >>98928510I think the general community has embraced it rather than just the lore on
