What's next for Idoneth? And don't tell me just another foot hero.
Not really a house rule but we only play narrative games
>>98931206Another foot hero but they'll squat half your units to make room for it :)
>>98931202>early thread just so he could use his coomer OPalright
>>98931225This is how trooding wars start.
>>989312258 page thread was always a standard, not my fault /tg/ is dead.
>>98931206Reavers going to legends, Eidolons merged in one, disappointing profile, another useless foot hero that might interact with the shark cavalry no one uses anymore, maybe gives them +1oc while wholly within 12".
>>98931267My autistic personal etiquette is page 8 is fine if the thread is over 400 repliesOtherwise wait til 9 or 10That being said the coomer shit is just annoying no matter what
It may be a question that is impossible to get answer for but does anyone remember how many erratas were released for the very first General's Handbook? I found something that might be a legit errata 1.1 but I can't find any archived article for shit.
Age of Sigmar
Apparently the generic option for the warthrone only has the female build. Which is odd as the generic daemonsmith on taurus had built options for both, and the body of the thryng was gender neutral i.e. with breastplates, unlike the other female model on the boat (as well as hjulda) which I assumed was because the body needed to work for both male and female heads. But no, only the female head included.The body and head are separate though so it's an easy headswap, but idk on a pricey model like that is one extra head option really that much to ask for?
>>98931347You will not be missed.
>>98931202If that model would have halfway realistic proportions, it would be worth a consideration.
>>98931202Is this supposed to be the cathay chick by the way?
>>98931375Most probably yes.
This model's a lot more impressive in person than I thought. I just thought it was kinda horse sized but it's pretty big and intricate. Total pain to build tho.
>>98931202Both me and my usual opponents are noobs so we just common sense houserule anything we don’t understand. We did it for kill team. Like if just a boot toecap is visible on a model we wouldn’t count it as visible. I find that when you’re new to any game it’s the most fun cause you’re mostly ignorant of the meta and any unfair BS that could arise. Familiarity breeds contempt or so they say. >coomer OPFuck off Vince your wife-master says you can’t use the computer anymore today >>98931273Why do they have armies then just refuse to give them anything of substance? It’s not like ogors that has a huge range already and simply needed updates. Idoneth is a tiny range. What do they have outside of eels and infantry?? I hope they don’t squat them for the sake of all the IDK bros. After seeing what they did to FS and beast men it’s not out of the realm of possibility. khorne is another army that’s been hanging on since launch without anything aside from pity characters. Those wrathmongers and stubby little bloodreavers/warriors could use some love.
>>98931308not more than one or two. i was around back then, but i sadly did not save the erratas or faqs>>98931448really? i assumed one could tell from the base that it was about the size of a greater demon.
When did nerds start hating tits?
>>98931347I don’t care
I have the IJ spearhead which comes out to 540 points if I run brute ragerz over weird brute wrekkaz. Or 530 with ragerz. Any suggestions for expanding it to 1k? Do people normally run the priest AND shaman wizard in the same list? I’m guessing it’s worth getting a unit of pigs for the mobility right? Maybe some more ardboyz and the ardboy boss? I’m open to suggestions. I’d rather not lean into pigs heavily though cause I really like their infantry. Also, what’s the preferred IJ battle formation? They all seem pretty weak or unreliable unless you take the pig formation
Managed to get my Magmic Fyrd. £75! Hell of a deal considering the cost of a Magmadroth
>>98931528Unironically the new battleforce is pretty good if you like the look of the gruntas, which are apparently a bit controversial. But all the units in the box are good, bog pigs can also be ran as an RoR in other destruction armies as a bonus.Can't go wrong with more ardboyz either if you wanna avoid pigs.

Fun fact in this Skaven story.Looks like it'll be a pretty good issue in terms of AoS content. I always like reading what the sculptors & painters had in mind when creating a new army.
>>98931479It's such a shame GW keeps purging WarCom all the time. Even Web Archive has nothing from before late-2016. When has WarCom launched? I'm quite sure it was around the AoS launch in 2015 but I may be mixing up things.
>>98931528> I’d rather not lean into pigs heavily though cause I really like their infantry.i like to run 2x20 ardboyz, 1x6 ragers, and 2x5 brutes as the core of my army and go from there.ardboyz are such a brick shithouse of a unit, opponents can throw entire armies at them and never shift them. make sure to take an ardboy boss to double their shieldback MWs, shield bash hits faster than strikes first, so its a great attack in large numbers, it works both as offense and defense since killing enemies before they get the chance to attack reduces their incoming damage too. ragers strike first makes them MUCH better than weirdbrutesbrutes are good as either a reinforced unit for dealing damage or, how i prefer to use them, as a couple MSU squads for capturing flank objectives. they're tough enough that most things an opponent sends after flank scoring like hunters of huanchi or wildercorps generally wont kill them, and the brutes disable scoring for 1-2 health units, so they can just shut down scoring for most units that arent the opponent throwing large dedicated monsters or cavalry units at them. still worth taking some pigs, playing without pigs at all means you will be quite slow, so i would consider at least getting a mawgrunta or two. mawkrusha is decent but now that he doesnt have a command ability anymore he's basically just a big beatstick and a good caddy for trophy skulls, but i think the tuskboss is more usable for that because his base is a lot easier to manuever on the table whereas the mawkrusha is very easy to get jammed up and has a harder time getting around terrain or screensweirdboy is very useful, strongly consider always taking oneweirdfist plays well with huge ardboy units. natural disaster or smashin and bashin are better if you are running lots of brutes or just dont have a dedicated plankragnos is in 90% of competitive ironjawz lists but i refuse to use him on principle. could convert some kind of big orruk kragnos proxy
>>98931557I was heavily considering it for 2k or 1.5k lists but I can print the small pigs and that really drops the value of the box for me. Granted I will get 2 big pigs and assembly is always more comfy to me than slicing and processing resin. I’ll have to think about it and ask myself if it would be a responsible purchase. >ardboyzYeah I think I’m definitely gonna need at least 1 more unit and prob the ardboy boss too
>>98931604>>98931528here's an example of a typical list i'll runBack Brutes 1990/2000 ptsIronjawzGeneral's Handbook 2026-27Drops: 3Wounds: 181Spell Lore - Lore of the WeirdPrayer Lore - WarbeatsManifestation Lore - Krondspine IncarnateRegiment 1Ardboy Big Boss (90)Ardboyz (320)• ReinforcedArdboyz (320)• ReinforcedBrute Ragerz (200)• ReinforcedRegiment 2Tuskboss on Maw-grunta (270)• Trophy Skulls• Mega BossyBrutes (160)Brutes (160)Maw-grunta Gougers (200)Regiment 3Weirdnob Shaman (110)Brutes (160)Faction TerrainBossrokk Towermanifestation lore is whatever you have the points for, krondspine or primal energy are fine, but you could also just ignore them and cast regular lore spells since you've only got 1 wizard. you dont need to sweat endless spells unless you're bringing a bunch of casts, because ironjawz normal lore of the weird is pretty good.could also drop the mawgrunta gouger for a second unit of reinforced ragers if you prefer, either choice is good.the tuskboss with trophy skulls is one of my favorite picks though, it lets him muscle units off of objectives on his own and he's cheaper than a mawkrusha, although nowadays gordrakk and the mawkrusha boss are like 100pts cheaper than they used to be so you could squeeze one of them in instead of the tuskboss if you want to run one
>>98931597The biggest loss of Warcom stuff was the website redesign/migration around 2020. All articles before that are just gone.
>>98931545That is a pretty great deal, might try to grab one
>>98931597>>98931641What even was the point of doing that
What is best strong list for Nighthaunt
>>98931675They don't want you to have any way back, you must consume only the recent product. Keep in mind GW makes their money on new players that splash big and burn out quickly and whales that don't care about the price. Veteran players with full armies and hobby rooms full of supplies and tools are GW's worst enemies since they come up with demands while not buying much anymore. That's why WotC and Hasbro butchered and alienated their old MtG playerbase.
>>98931202>TQwe dont use seasonal rules or battle tactics at all.
>>98931604>>98931629damn thanks for the tips>40 ardboyzI knew this used to be meta but I didn't realize it was still legit with the shield bash grindingIf you're using brutes as objective nabbers do you use the ragerz as your hammers or do the ardboyz serve as the hammer in addition to the anvil? Are the pigs also there to support the brutes in scoring or just as a general fast that exploits openenings? I get they're fast but what do you do with that speed?And I notice you don't have a priest or a megaboss. I'm guessing the prayer lore just isn't worth taking another 100+ point hero. The megaboss's waagh token passive seems to conditional, is the Brute chain fight ability relevant at all even if you're non-rager brutes are off on the sides?Do the ragerz even live after the first round after they get their attacks off to take advantage?
>>98931604I have seen it suggested in a discord to use MSU Wrekkaz as objective grabbers too, since they have the innate ward and can smash infantry that tries coming near
New to AOS. I’ve been reading up on lore and rules. I’ve played some killteam and I started a necron army in 9th. I’m learning blood bowl. All that being said, that’s the extent of my table top wargaming. I want to start an army. Here is what I’m leaning towards, Realm Lords, Kboys, Ossiarch bone boys, maybe tree elves or hedonites. I mean a dwarf army leaning towards overload heavy sounds fun, but I don’t know. I think every army is cool, so rule of cool is out. I am not worried about painting. Thoughts? Suggestions?
>>98931699Yeah no newbies are going to be looking up warcom articles from years ago, I really don't think that's it
>>98931732I was looking into Warcry a few weeks back and other sites were linking to warcom for rules. The links were all dead
>>98931730if every army is cool and you're not worried about painting then what's your concern? playstyle? difficulty? price? availability of models?
I have 40 kairic acolytes unpainted and unbuilt
>>98931740Probably playstyle. I don’t want to spend the money and the time and find out the army is incredibly boring or going to be squatted by this time next year.
>>98931730If you're agnostic, Christmas battle forces will come out soon. They are a good value for money though a large single purchase.
Rate my Ogor skin, been working on this off and on when I'm not exhausted from work or distracted by Deadlock.
>>98931758
>>98931758>>98931760ogor/10
>>98931718ardboyz i typically throw down the center with the ardboy boss inbetween them. they arent a hammer per se but they're decent enough at combat that they can win against most things that dont manage to kill them just through a mix of mortal damage and 40 attacks at -2 rend.i'll usually throw the big pigs on one flank, left or right, along with 5 brutes, and then the other 10 brutes on the other flank. ragers positioning depends on what it looks like my opponent is going to do. if it looks like they're going to swing to fight off the pigs i'll put the ragers over there to support them, but if it looks like they've got some big world ender unit like reinforced chosen or varanguard or something that they're going to just try to mulch the ardboyz with, i'll keep the ragers behind the line for a countercharge to strikesfirst their hammer. makes the opponent play a lot more cagey. brutes just completely shut off scoring to 80% of scoring units in the game, its amazing in practice. clanrats, plaguebearers, rotswords, horrors, mortek, grot stabbas, nothing short of another elite or cav unit can contest against them, its such a powerful toolpriests and megaboss are both meta, take em if you like em. a guy just went 5-0 with a double priest and megaboss weirdfist army with 2x10 reinforced brutes. its just personal preference that i like my brutes MSU to allow them to bully more objectives. between the brutes shutting down scoring and the ragers and ardboyz hitting at strikes first or faster, its really hard for opponents to find a good attack angle without eating shit on the way in.the megaboss also got a scourge of aqshy warscroll thats pretty crazy, be sure to check that out too
>>98931732You spent so much time in the /tg/ bubble you have no idea how clueless and bad at decision-making new players are. Tau sub-plebbit has a counter for how many minutes since the last case of someone cracking a Tau Combat Patrol and not noticing there is a Kill Team sprue inside. Every single WarCom announcement on FB has DOZENS of people asking if they have to paint the Marines blue. People unironically think they MUST replicate the exact built they see on the box cover.
>>98931758This is pretty good! Smooth and convincing. I have a couple suggestions - tonally, it's a uniform flesh tone, but for more convincing skin you should have variance in the coloring. So, for example, themiddle of the face and nose should have a red tint. A chest has a brighter yellow tint, while armpits have a purple hue
>>98931760>>98931758your cam quality could be better but it looks good to me>>98931763out of curiosity what makes the megaboss strong? is it the raw stats or are brutes so good that he turns into a force multiplier with his chain fight?
>>98931207A narrative game without house rules is just matched play
>>98931749none of those you listed are likely to get squatted. Kruleboyz is part of a bigger tome that includes Ironjawz but they're p much their own army with their own rules. Destruction armies are notorious for their RNG. Everything they do needs a dice roll cause that's GW's idea of balancing them. KB has decent ranged units and lots of monsters. GW loves to nerf lumineth every edition but they're always strong and have a lot of "cheating." that is to say that they move and cast spells and shoot when they're normally not supposed to. they love to casts spell. they can be really fighty with bladelords and their cavalry and have pretty good shooting units too. They can bring the giant cow elemental and stone guard for a very tanky list. they're p versatile and even have lots of characters. teclis is an insanely powerful wizard if you want to run him. Keep in mind this army is hell to paint cleanly. Their two spearhead boxes are good. You can even still get their last battleforce if you look hard enough. Their new rules use runes that you change every round and have different effects based on what you chose the round before. Once you memorize their rules and fuckery you could probably overwhelm your opponent.Ossiarch are pretty versatile and use their discipline points to buff themselves kind of like how kasrkin use to have elite points. it's a resource they can use to maintain flexibility and lean into defense or offense or movement when necessary. They just got some nice new models. They got 2 spearheads this year I think. All of them are good including their original vanguard box if you can still find one. Dont' know much about tree elves or hedonites personally.
>>98931347>a womxnThe horror.
Is there any known script that's used or would look good as for necromantic writing? I want to try freehanding some but I don't see any alphabet like there is for Dark Tongue, Elvish, etc.
>>98931846Just do the right thing and write something silly in english using enochian like "How to raise undead tossers vol.1" or some shit, nobody's gonna know.
>>98931846There is one, but I'm not allowed to say.
I refuse to believe people actually buy this pricey shit.

>>98932203>retarded rambling with no basis in factWhy are you here?
Archanon
>>98932203The level of cope in /aosg/ and on /tg/ in general is insane. At first I thought only the /40kg/ crowd was retarded considering how much in denial they were regarding Manlet Marines genocide but /aosg/ tops them on every level now. How can you see 70% of SCE range getting axed and whole armies being squatted and still think that your army - 50% of it legended and the other 50% souped - will be fine?
>>98932276>Why aren't you a braindead retard like me? Whyyyyyyy?Still seething, I see.
>>98932299LEAVE GW ALONE, THEY ALWAYS HAVE OUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART AND WOULD NEVER, EVER STAB US IN THE BACK AND DO ANNUAL PRICE HIKES!

>>98932276>- 50% of it legendedOne infantry kit and four foot heroes. For a small army that received a new infantry kit and two new heroes last edition, and a new special character up for pre-order literally today, a net change of -1 hero since 2E. Truly earthshaking.
>>98932325It's just really obvious at this point that it's one guy that wants to gloat about Fyreslayers being "squatted" and he's furious that no one is biting his bait anymore.
>>98932342If anything, slayers have always had a home as a Warhammer dwarf subfaction. Coming home to kh just makes them more likely to be maintained within the army
>>98931202Is that loincloth supposed to be glued to her skin, or how does it stay on?
>>98932387>maintainedBy having 50% of their units nuked?Yeah, wonderful.
>>98932387>Coming home to khThe broken buck trying to salvage another GW mistake. Pitiful!
>>98932387If anything, generic Greenskinz have always had a home as a Warhammer Orcs subfaction. Coming home to Legends just makes them more likely to be maintained as an army
Why would you use ironjawz as an example when nothing of ours was squatted when we got shoved next to kruleboyz
>>98932447Who mentioned Ironjawz?
>>98932396The more you post this, the more obvious it is you don't play Fyreslayers, btw.
>>98931760>>98931758Josh?
>>98931206Another foot hero. Sorry but that's the truth, matey
What’s next for disciples of tzeentch?

>>98932450See>>98932305>>98932325Now, I wasn’t here for third when the merge happened so I dunno if the doomer posts happened and were sincere, but I don’t think even in that case it’d be comparable to FS players concerned about stuff being squatted
>>98932519>daemons squattedAside from the loc right? That’s the only one that matters, I can make the rest out of spare sprues>new centerpiecePlease>three foot heroesFuck I’d take them if it’s as customizable as that one sorcerer kit for 40K.
>>98932533loc gone, replaced my GoC (girlboss of color) centerpieceall three heroes are monopose
>>98932523Seething AND incoherent, impressive.
>>98932503asian boy princesses are peak
>FS players concerned about stuff being squattedVulkites were already redundant and FS STILL have a ton of foot heroes. They're also probably the easiest faction in the game to proxy heroes as other heroes with. The impact for anyone who actually plays Fyreslayers is barely noticeable. The main heartburn people had was Fyreslayers actually being removed from the game, which souping them with KH makes basically a non-issue. The chances of Fyreslayers ever breaking out as a separate army again are basically nonexistent, but they'll stick around.
>>98932184Foot hero prices are gw's most ridiculous ones. They're truly insane.
>>98932565>I don't play Fyreslayers and have never seen one of their models in real life but let me tell you about how you should feel about your faction getting squatted. Stop overreacting geez.
>>98932590You don't play Fyreslayers and I do, but nice try.
>>98932147no he doesn’t>>98932148>>98932256and with this cutie posting I see why
>>98932596Ah you're that one guy who gunt guards GW at every turn and claims to be a player of X faction depending on the topic but you would never ever ever ever ever ever post that army you're a veteran of.
>>98932590>>98932596only one way to settle thispost models
>>98932618That never works. Any of the far and few Fyreslayer players - like myself, if NTA for any posts in this thread, could post armies, books and materials from old editions and anyone could say "You bought that on Ebay!/You made that timestamp with AI!/FAKE FAN! FAKE GROG! GW LOVES FYRESLAYERS STOP YOUR NAYSAYING!". This is a no-win situation, as usual.
Wait, Flameseekers can be reinforced? Can literally any other warcry unit be or are they unique like that?
>>98932626Posting models is net-positive for the thread, let's not be silly with these excuses. State the real reason; you either don't want to or don't have the models.
>>98932628I think most if not all of them can be. It's a recent change.
>>98932628Alot of models been given reinforcements in the last annual, same with CoS being able to reinforce their grenadiers. Plus also Flameseekers are the default battleline for FS, so it'd feel bad if you couldn't now that berzerkers are out.
>>98932632And if I posted my models you would be screaming that I stole them from Reddit or Google Image Search. I've played this game and there is no winning against the GW Defense Force and spergs.
>>98932607>Still LARPINGPitiful, honestly. I started Fyreslayers in 2018 by buying the SC box four times. I only bought one SC box initially, but I liked my little guys so much I immediately doubled down. They weren't my first army, Deepkin are what got me interested in AoS initially, but Fyreslayers were my first fully painted army. They've been my favorite AoS army ever since.
>>98932637ok post your four magmadroths then
>>98932637Nice.Did you paint them in specific lodge colors, or your own? Do you happen to have pictures of them? No biggie if you don't.
>>98932628Recent change, and not just for Fyreslayers. Keep in mind they were reinforceable initially, it was release 4E that decided to remove it from all Warcry bands for some dumb reason.
>>98932637Post models, LARPer.
>>98932276>How can you see 70% of SCE range getting axedThis never happened
>>98932645I was extremely brand new to model painting at the time, so I was using Duncans guides for the default Vostarg look. I also just really like the orange hair to be honest. I've messed around with doing some black haired slayers here and there, and one of my droths is Black instead of Red. I've always really liked the blue flame/snow bases look some people do, or the Blond guys.
>>98932651You first bro. Or you can tell me about your personal experiences with Fyreslayers that you totally have.
>>98932668nta but here's my magmadroth
>>98932209They were released at the same time? There's no reason every 1e kit was squatted except them and the Magmadroth
>>98932661I get that, especially the blackbeards, surprised you also did not try some Iron Dwarfs from Warcraft. Personally got FS for super cheap recently and getting around to start painting them, thinking of Sigyorn's scheme with MAYBE blue loinclothes to match my Cities of Sigmar.How do you usually run your FS anyway?
>>98932673kino
>>98932674Fyreslayers have been retconned into the elite arm of khazalites, a basic chaff(esque) infantry doesn't fit that conceptualization. Also vulkites have been panned harder than hearthguard.
>>98932718>retconnedNo idea why I used that word, just changed nothing retroactive about it
>>98932718And that's why they squatted four heroes?
>>98932726Look, not him, but GW work in mysterious ways. Like why squat Grimwrath Berzerker when he perfectly represents FS in their current state?
>>98932668>You need personal experience with an army to be able to tell what is GW's policy on rotating their model range to keep sales highPost models dummy.
>>98932743So you don't play Fyreslayers, like I said from the beginning.
>>98932726They decided the subfaction having only twice as many foot heroes as the entire rest of the army was good enough.
>NOOOO STOP BEING A DOOMER ABOUT FYRESLAYERS Every kit should be refreshed after Flameseekers mogged everything else
You still haven't posted your 4 magmadroth classic army by the way.
>>98932777Because he doesn't own shit. He might not even have any minis period.
>>98932773the magmadroth shouldn't be refreshed simply because refreshing everything instead of adding new stuff will doom them to have a small roster once again
>>98932773Blonde beards shouldn't work this well on FS
>>98932503Made for BiWiSi
>>98932754>Everyone who disagrees with me is the same personI kneel, schizo-LARPer-sama.
>>98932802Small rosters should be the standard. Profiles bloat is pure cancer. Battletomes should have no more than 12-15 profiles per army.
>>98932654Yeah, it was more like 80%
>>98932823>Small rosters should be the standard. wrong>Profiles bloat is pure cancer.true >12-15 profiles per armyfyreslayers launched with 3 kits and 3 small heroes, pretending they're more profiles than that is retarded
I don’t want a dwarf edition ever again
>>98932726Subfactions don't need 8 foot heroes (11 if you count the magmadroth extra builds)
when you think about it really, we just traded an extra battleline unitt and a few foot heroes, but in return we got the golems we've been asking for for 4 editions straight, some artillery, and if you put a runedaddy on the boat we got a new lavaboat too.overall i'd say fyreslayers came out ahead, even if you ignore all of the kromdron infantry and heroes. plus almost everything in the book runs on the khazalites keyword instead of the grimmdron or kromdron keywords, so most of the new guys and army rules and traits play well with thee fyreslayers stuff too. this isnt like a spiderfang situation where the subfaction is just a useless appendix of half forgotten retirement home residents waiting to be squatted that are keyword bingo'd out of most of the army. they actually feel integrated mechanically
How long do you have to wait before it's good to sand after applying tamiya cement? I'm working on fusing some seams and waiting is a pain in the ass.
>2-piece torsos, separate flat-joint arms and legs (each pair with unique details)>separate pauldrons, each with unique icon design or empty with space for decals>Two times more heads than you need, each unique of course>additional "backpack" bits>4 (four) weapon configurations>every single bit is interchangeablePeople may shit on Fatcasts aesthetic but kits like original Liberators were amazing. Compared with the awful monopose sprues that came after them, they were true followers of the best kit design principles.
>>98932879At least 12 hours I say. I always recommend to wait overnight before you work with parts glued with plastic glue.
>>98932389it's bolted on
>>98931846Start with Egyptian hieroglyphs and just cut em up to make em vaguely resemble letters
>>98932503>Warhammer IP >Tzeench getting attention lolLmao
>>98931846GW never released transfer sheets with Azyrite letters so I simply took script decals from the CSM transfer sheet and flipped them 180 degrees.
>>98932896I kinda forgot liberators used to have a sword option
>>98932931back then they still tried to give kits weapon options. Wild.
>>98932931Was the coolest option tbhondesu
>>98932843Don't worry, next edition GW's going to release just 3 monopose foot heroes (1 each for KO, KH and Helsmiths). Focus on getting hyped for Aelf soup when Battletomes: Aelfneth Quèéndommes is previewed and GW announces that half of the ranges for Lrl, Idk, DoK and Sylvaneth is going Legends.
>>98932955>hyped for AelfI already amI want Kurnothi
>>98932959> that spoilerDon't worry, I'm sure they'll make a shitty AoR for your two favorite units.
>>98932931Simple math made them inferior to Hammer. To-hit bonuses were more common than to-wound, Lay Low the Tyrants was giving +1 to Hit as well. Having +3/+3 is better than +2/+4.
>>98933004WAACFAG!Swords are simply cooler, Vanquishers are proof of this
>>98932939I think it could work on the lither (more lithe?) thunderstrike but with fatcast it kinda felt wrong, they're so broad you really want a big bashing stick instead
>>98933004I forgot what double weapons did. Reroll 1s to hit?

Don't know why people are bitching about the new Khaza rifleman unit. With Auric Hearthguard in the tome you've no need to ever bring them.
i've never built a magmadrotth, how intact is the actual droth itself under the harness? like if i wanted the creature on its own with no harness are we talking about having to resculpt the entire back and sides or is it pretty much fully formed?
sigdex is updated with the new khazalite holds if anyone wants to play around witth listbuilding
I read so much cultivation and reincarnation/regression slop that I can’t help but love Stormcast
>>98933285>I read so much cultivationThoughts on Lumineth?
>>98931398Sweet.
>>98932922He’s been getting some love recently surprisingly enough. Boltgun and Space Marine 2 for example. Could definitely use more though.
>>98933247There's a huge hole in it's back where the saddle is supposed to go.
>>98933211That reminds me, I need to buy more boxes of the current witch elves before they become illegal in Bongland
>>98933292Yes
>>98933579Blood hags already severely damaged by faith in future DoK releases.>Here's your shitty single-build, monopose kit with absolutely no extras on the sprues - save for an arm if you choose to build the banner. >Oh, by the way, did we mention we also undermined the spirit and fucked up the aesthetic of the faction?I know you hate attractive women and their skin, GW. You don't need to rub it in my face.
>>98933211They won't be refreshed. They'll be moved to Legends alongside the Cauldron kit. You'll play Umbraneth Shadowlords and you'll enjoy a Regiment of Renown with Melusai and Khinerai.
>>98933183Who would get the named foot hero?
>>98932931You could mix and match weapon arms and hands from other kits too. You could use hand axes or short swords frol vanguard hunters, great axes or greatswords or javelins from prosecutors. It was really great for making your liberators unique.
>>98933155>>Khazalite Priestess of Valaya heroYes please
>>98934151You have your priestesses of Valaya in the Guardians.
What do you do with your old battletomes? Do you trash them, sell them, treasure them or just forget about them?
>>98934134Lumineth, of course. They'll be the poster faction after all.
>>98934302I can’t imagine there are people that just throw stuff away in this hobby. You either hold onto it for sentimental value or sell it.
>>98934151That has absolutely nothing to do with valaya
Any idea where I can find a list of Start Collecting box battalions? I thought going through unboxing videos and articles may be the way but 90% of them don't even mention the battalion rules included, not that I'm surprised.
>>98933247It looks like this.
>>98934435You can put something else on its back. I just thought of something.
>>98931375>>98931398Don't tell me that there are fan rules for Chaos Miao Ying, after that mod i would not even be surprised.
>>98934426Why does the std one randonlt have have the logo plastered on the top when it's at the bottom in every other box.Triggers the tism
>>98934476It's a mix of various edition boxes and special runs like the city boxes.
>>98934426Start collecting had a lot of great boxes but the beastmeme one is just ridiculous
>>98933686I quite like the Blood Hags actually
>>98934511It was quite amazing, I bought three back then. Pestilens one was ridiculously good as well - 50EUR for a Screaming Bell, Warp Lightning Cannon and 20 Monks was simply a steal.
>>98933155YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
>>98934515>I like eating shit actuallyNo one asked
>>98934535>No one askedI know. Don't really care though :B
>>98934515I think they're not bad but are wrongfully characterized as elite witch elves when they should've been the exact opposite.Also the sword option of the lesder mogs the bidents to high heaven they should've given everyone a sword option.
We tried to warn you.It's fine you said.Just paint the pants like skin you said.
Who do these keep pretending you don't get a second foot model if you build the son or father droth?
>>98934142I'm giving Liberators' spare great weapons to my ETB Prosecutors since ETB Prosecutor Prime has flat arm joints so they fit perfectly. I'm tempted to give some Judicators' spare bows just for the rule of cool as well. People called SCE "land Marines" like it was a bad thing. I hope they are happy with their monopose armies now.
>>98934595Lel I remember those debatesTotal doomer victory on this one I'm afraid
>>98934601>100EURTo think that some retards will look at this and unironically claim it's all good and reasonable because of """iNfLaTiOn""".
>>98934610Magmadroths were always overpriced outside of the start collecting, which was amazing value by contrast.Price hikes certainly don't help. Ironically it took half the faction getting squatted but they finally have a fantastic spearhead now.
>>98934610>>98934612Iirc they were €85 on launch, which would be €113 now ten years later.
>This kit can alternatively be built as a halberd-wielding Thrynn on War Throne, with her own distinct set of powerful abilities.>herOh nononono
>>98934612>fantastic spearhead I will not consider any Spearhead that comes with a Warcry leftover warband "fantastic". They just push the dead stock before the TLW purge. >NOOO STOP DOOM POSTING, GW WOULD NEVER SQUAT MY HECKING WARBANDERINOOOJust screencap this and be honest enough to come here in 9 months when new edition launches and we get new indices.
>>98934621I always wanted the flameseekers but never got around to it so for me it's perfect.
>>98934616>Iirc they were €85 on launchToo expensive back then, too expensive now.>which would be €113 now ten years laterLmao, people taking the greedflation bait are simply hilarious.
>>98934624Well yea I agree, these things have always been expensive overpriced pieces of plastic despite looking great.
Here's the festus I bought back on release and have only since finished painting. The mount is currently primed and curing but with an airbrush he should not take long. I'm not sure what to paint him though. Maybe black-blue?>>98934617After an anon told me a long time ago that halberds with shields dont make any sense, I couldn't unsee chaos warriors or shit like that dwarf and have since built all my chaos warriors with with hand-weapons >>98934621>squatting warbandsdo you mean in warcry or or in AOS? I don't see a reason for them squat them in AOS. A lot of them find success in AoS as tech pieces of scouts like claws of karanak or the Riverblades. Why wouldn't they continue selling them with AoS packaging?
>>98934636They can give a named character 4 weapon options for no reason at all but the custom /yourdude/ leader? Nah
>>98934636And here's Anara from the Lumineth UW kit that I got for "cheap" at my LGS. it was pretty rough at first getting all the basecoats down and the whites to look decent. The blindfolded guy is gonna be a pain but the other 2 shouldn't be an issue. Happy with how it turned out and I'm quite proud of how fast I was able to do all the highlights I gave up on the eyes after repainting the face twice.
>>98934636>Why wouldn't they continue selling them with AoS packaging?For the very same reason they squatted most StD Warbands, all Underworlds kits, many old ETB kits, big chunk of SCE kits and a few armies altogether - thye have limited production capacity, prioritize multi-selling kits over the single-purchase ones and force models rotation to keep the sales going.
>>98934645oh yeah I see your point. Well at the very least you can proxxy them as heroes...
>>98934645>many old ETB kits,I miss em
>>98934621>Just screencap this and be honest enough to come here in 9 months when new edition launches and we get new indices.I will actually, start drafting your apology post right now anon
>>98934648>Well at the very least you can proxxy them as heroesWell that's true for almost everything but what we are discussing is the decision-making process on the company's side. People got too accustomed with fixing GW's shitty decisions and mistakes with house rules, proxying etc. Almost none of the Warhammer games was ever good compared with non-GW games, AoS 2e and Warcry being exceptions here. The main and arguably only advantage of Warhammer games over non-GW games is how popular and homogenised the game environment is. The game is shit BUT you can grab your army, travel 5000km away and still play the very same shitty game at different LGS out of the box. The moment you start to alter any of the GW's rulesets you may as well switch to any far more superior game.
>>98934617>he's still going on about thisbruh
>>98934665>but what we are discussing is the decision-making process on the company's sideWell maybe you are
>>98934684>Why wouldn't they continue selling them with AoS packaging?Yes we are, unless you want to be obtuse on purpose.
>>98934687Well maybe I do
>>98934689Baka-senpai, I kneel. I wasn't familiar with your game, fr fr no cap.
>>98934636>After an anon told me a long time ago that halberds with shields dont make any sensethey can make sense when it comes to walking up to the enemy, you still want a shield against arrows.Not as much in full plate but still.
>>98934720>you still want a shield against arrowsNo you don't. Halberds became popular in mass formations when plate body armour became cheaper and wide-spread. They were often employed in pikemen formations since dense pikes formation served as a screen for arrows.
>>98934729No one tell him!Hoplites
>>98934740>Spears and halberds are the sameAh, it's a bait then.
>>98934645This logic makes sense for like iron golems or splintered fang but not for flameseekers, hunters of huanchi, gorgers, etc. They're just normal units now, there's no reason gw would treat them differently compared to non "originally warcry" units.The only ones I can see being at risk are weirdos like the Askurgan trueblades which don't fit their faction at all and probably sell like shit to boot.
>>98934621Warcry is as much as risk as anything else, except UW warbands which are sure to go. GW should squat those irregular kits without proper wargame structures but AoS is a board game at this point so it doesn't matter. TOW sealed the deal for that.
>>98934748Trying Too Hard.
>>98934729>dense pikes formationanon, chaos warriors are dense only in different ways
>>98934610 RETVRN>2016 £36 at 25% off at my lgs>2026 £72 at 25% off at my lgsFYI average UK consumer price rise is 30%~ over 10 years kek absolute Jews
>>98934753To do what? UW were never intended to be sold continuously
>>98934440>>98934621>>98934665>>98934610Delicious…
>>98934759to bully aos we don't appreciate the obvious hostility so go back to /wfg/ before the mods show up
>>98934748>but AoS is a board game at this point so it doesn't matter. TOW sealed the deal for that.I shouldn't indulge the bait but I must.Wtf does that mean?
>>98934665>weWe?
>>98934426I have a few. Quite nostalgic! gofile io/d/GTVThxdh
>>98934766Wargame kits have options, because they matter given the options afforded units. A board game usually doesn't. AoS doesn't have rules for options, it has new kits entirely without, etc. Warcry is a literal skirmish game and the later kits, including Flameseekers, lack the diversity of even 1e Warcry kits. There's nothing wrong with the distinction but it's there. TOW is firmly in the camp of a wargame with kits providing options, rules reflecting that, etc. I presume GW would deliberately diversify their games instead of >Fantasy wargame >Fantasy wargame, but with round bases
>>98934617You're a day late >>98931347
>>98934778aos is no different to whfb infact it is more sophisticated youd know if you played it
>>98934778We've an actual, genuine, born and raised retard over here lads!
>>98934778Warcry kits always come with options, nomodels. Including the very flameseekers that you mentioned.Tow's releases come with less options than aos these days, have you seen the chaos warriors?
>>98934780I provided an actual source from the store page so suffah.
>>98934766aos doesn't simulate anything, it's an abstract game aka board game >stand in circle statistic instead of bravery >once per (army) >command abilities issued by the player rather than models >rally resurrection autistic but I understand the categorisation
>>98934789yeah you could make multiple warscrolls from them they mog new tow kits lmao look at tomb kings build options
>>98934775Thank you Anon. I was trying to help myself with Lexicanum and TCRepo but the deeper I get into my Battle Bible project the more I realize how patchy and decentralized the 1st edition was. It didn't strike me as much back then but now 10 years later it is quite a hassle to even determine a list of contents, not to mention finding said content.
>>98934621>I will not consider any Spearhead that comes with a Warcry leftover warband "fantastic".Retard.
>>98934804Yeah, people just didn't care about "narrative" content (pre GHB). I was puzzled to discover even compendium pdfs were a little hard to find a few years ago.
>>98934778Retard, if anything it's the opposite. Necromunda is gw's most customizable game.Back to /twg/ with you
>>98934813Do you happen to have 1st edition compendiums as well? I'm quite sure GW released compendiums for Brets, TKs etc but I can only retrieve the Legends compendiums through the web archive.
>>98934819Didn't they remove all of the band customization in favor of Underworlds style "pick this prebuilt group"?
>>98934860I have no idea, but looking at the newest releases there still seem to be lots of options so I'm going to assume not
>>98934595What the fuck is this?
>>98934829gofile io/d/eNil0XmgThis is what I have, not sure if it's everything
>>98934515This anon >>98934586 more or less has the right of it. The elite infantry being the most heavily armoured flies in the face of what the DoK are about. Blood hags should have been called "initiates" or something, and they should have been a defensive (probably chaff) unit.Elite infantry for the DoK should wear little to no armour, but be decorated in elaborate (and impractical) finery and garments. Give them veils or flowing strips of silk that trail behind them - really play up the whole "brides of Khaine" thing -, and a weapon that emphasizes mastery and bloodletting. >>98934595Awful kit to put together. It's only saving grace is that it's super easy to scrape the detail of their tops off and sculpt exposed breasts over, since the corsets frame them so nicely.
>>98934621>I'm a retard and I insist on being a retardOkay, retard. Flameseekers are literally the best Fyreslayer kit right now, best looking and most useful to boot.
>>98934645>prioritize multi-selling kits over the single-purchase onesThis is just another reason they would keep the Warcry kits, they're all designed now as normal units that you can run loads of and they're very popular.
>>98934778>Warcry is a literal skirmish game and the later kits, including Flameseekers, lack the diversity of even 1e Warcry kitsThis is one of the most retarded, blatantly untrue things I've ever seen anyone post here, which is saying a lot for TG.
>>98934987He overplayed his hand way too quick with this one. Easily could've stretched out his bit for another dozen or so replies but flew too close to the sun
>>98934977Good for them, I hope FS players stay happy and healthy. It does not change the fact that Flameseekers are a Warcry warband and will get axed with the 5th edition release, just like all Warcry bands.>>98934983>they're all designed now as normal units that you can run loads of and they're very popularI can see that with 40k Kill Team but AoS started to do that only recently I assume? Gorgers were clearly an existing unit update but other than than only Questor Soulsworn strike me as a "real" unit.
>>98934990Hunters of huanchi, cos wildercorps, ydrilan riverblades, and maybe pyregheists are also perfectly normal units. The FEC and KB ones are a more of a grey area, as are the monogod chaos ones.The normalish warbands far outnumber the gimmick ones at this point.You still haven't explained why they'd treat these guys any different by the way. They've just been recycled into aos proper.
>>98934796Anon you can swap the heads of the weapons, even by Fyreslayers standards that's the bare minimum. Let's not get ahead of ourselves now.
>>98934990>Good for them, I hope FS players stay happy and healthy. It does not change the fact that Flameseekers are a Warcry warband and will get axed with the 5th edition release, just like all Warcry bands.None of the Warcry Warbands will get axed with the 5E edition release and you'll be hiding in nine months instead of admitting you're a fucking idiot. >Gorgers were clearly an existing unit update but other than than only Questor Soulsworn strike me as a "real" uniFlameseekers are a real unit. So are Hunters of Huachi, who literally replaced the old Chameleon kit. Riverblades, Wildcorp Hunters, etc etc. Literally, LITERALLY the only squatted Warcry Bands are the old STD bands, and mostly just because they had 10x as many as they needed. Even then STD still has two Warcry Bands.
>>98934987he's right? darkoath savagers have arms for everything but Flameseekers only have weapon tops >>98934796copium gw have been lazy
should I try aos?are any of the battleforce good start?
1st edition warcry units were squatted but c'mon guys GW wouldn't do that again! They've finished squatting now.
>>98935010>STD still has two Warcry BandsIt has one which will unironically be squatted with the 5th refresh lmao
>>98935027Name one non-STD Warcry Warband that has been squatted.
>>98935024Why do weapon swaps suddenly not count?
>>98935026If you don't know how AoS plays then start with spearhead, since it is AoS light. The box is smaller too, just pick whatever you like on the first glance
>>98935028>It has oneMoronhttps://www.warhammer.com/en-US/shop/slaves-to-darkness-chaos-legionaires-2025https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/shop/spearhead-slaves-to-darkness-darkoath-raiders-2024
>I gotta DOOOOMyou guys suck leave gw alone no one wants to hear this
>>98935040>You can't just point out that I'm retarded! Stop simping for GW!
>>98935031Compare
>>98935052this has exactly the same number of options as >>98934796you're retarded
unless you're using some ancient ass WHFB kits it's pretty safe to say you have nothing to worry about unless you see your army refreshed which is NOT squatting
>>98934515I dont. They are a pure contradiction to how battletomes present khainites and their culture. Someone at the studios did not care when creating them. Like... at all. Even their warscroll is completely off what the unit description tells us. That warscroll is NOT "elite" in any way, even if we ignore the mini aesthetics. It is just a mess all around
>>98935052
>>98935087Except the flameseekers have no head options and the darkoath weapons have way more variety
>>98935071Better get used to it, current AoS team is completely different from AoS team few editions ago and they have vastly different idea of what AoS should be from previous editions.
>>98935070Were are my refreshed Sequitors, Castigators and Paladins? No, Annihilators are not Paladins and they look fucking awful.
>>98935142>Castigatorswe really pretending people liked these?
>>98935144Not the point dummy.
>>98935087The one hand options provide four build options instead of two tbf
>>98935144I do, but it's ok if I am the minority.
>>98935129head options are irrelevant? we're talking about build options not cosmetic details retard
>>98935144I loved the alchemical bomb aspect but D3 attacks instead of D3 damage was always anti-thematic. Paladins with holy bombs is peak.
cry all you want modern kits like blightkings or blood hags mog the older kits with "options" technology improves gw provides increasing value
>>98935129>Except the flameseekers have no head optionsYeah as we all know that's what decides whether or not something is a wargame; the presence of head options.You're so retarded you even forgot what point you were originally trying to make.If we're talking cosmetics the flameseekers kit has 5 different hand-axes available for the one model that can take them>>98935142Annihilators are paladin refreshes, come on.
>>98935178CUSTOMIZATION BAD
>>98935130Even their different design departments have vastly different ideas of what AoS should be, as it seems
>>98935194it's totally unnecessary wargaming isn't playing with barbies. isn't that what your shitty on aos over?
>>98935144These were the only good sacrosanct units>>98935194Concession accepted
>>98932843This edition made me realize that I only like chorfs in *spite* of them being dwarfs. I like the crazy contraptions they make, I like the centaurs and hobgoblins, I like the daemon engines... I don't give a fuck about their relationship to the regular dwarfs or the ancestor gods.
>>98935190Blightkings are conceptually bland. They went from mutants to just fat guys.
>>98934640I've said it before, it's so strange that there are four weapon options for a named character and I wonder if there wasn't a generic option planned at some point
>>98934636I really like the leech, the little dots are so much to it. >>98934644Eyes are tricky, sometimes it's easier to paint the whole area white and then block in the skin around it
>>98934740>HoplitesA spear can be braced and thrusted one handed, the blade on a halberd is swung which is awkward to do one handed. They didn't use halberds.
>>98934740sometimes it's better to just not post at all
>>98935007>>98934990Rotmire creed from nurgle is a monogod chaos warband that's just a bunch of dudes
Gnarlwood warbands should be squatted That shit does not fit with AoS on the whole >samurai vampires >baboon FEC
