>>98947906>StormgroundOh yeah, that happened.
>>98947364>>98947881In a vacuum I like the new ones more but I feel like they're not necessarily a good update of what ardboyz were previously all about and what made them different from the rest of the ironjawz range (both visually and from a lore/thematic standpoint)>>98947922Hey at least it came up with the lady of ash who is pretty cool
>>98947906>TQKinda wanna see Beastmen, but maybe under destruction. Maybe do them as the kurnothi that the one anon wants so badly
>>98947946Anon the kurnothispammer is a troll, he doesn't actually care that much
>>98947946>elves with beastman type legs, satyrs and centaurs and stuffWell it'd do a lot for classic Warcraft fans, which AoS is always being accused of pandering to. Considering the kind of people who post beastmen in the TOW threads maybe it'd be an improvement for the culture
>>98947881im the opposite, the helmets and shields are the thing i like the least about them
>>98947975Maybe not kurnothi style but I'd genuinely love to see elves or dwarfs in a destruction faction. Or just in general something that isn't green or fat.
>>98947961Next you’re gonna tell me Settra poster doesn’t mean it too and I just dunno if I can take that>>98947975See? Perfect fit already>>98947982I will say I’m kinda regretting not choosing more of the face mask options
Is there somewhere I can read up on all the board and hobby lingo? “Squatted” “souped” “conversion” and so on. I feel like I have most of it down from context clues but I wanna be sure.
>>98948046>squatteddeleted from the game. a reference to an old army from the early 90s called the squats which were removed during warhammer 40ks 2nd edition. when someone refers to GW squatting something, it means they are removing from production and/or the rules>soupedcombining different factions, units or other elements under a single umbrella label. examples include the new khazalites which have now "souped" fyreslayers under the khazalite tome. or gloomspite gitz which is a "soup" of 5 different subfactions. >conversionrefers usually to kitbashing different components from different sources or sculpting new elements when building a model. taking an ogre and giving it a weapon from a kurnoth kit for a realm of life theme is an example of a conversion. they can be anything as minor as extra belt options or other small bits, or as large as full on resculpts or even alternative proxy models from other ranges to count as another unit, although straight up replacements like that are usually referred to as proxies rather than conversions, but there is some grey area there
>>98948073It's worth pointing out that the Squats themselves were eventually brought back to 40K as the "Votaan" Very few armies or ideas remain squatted forever, as yesterdays bottom selling shit canned army eventually becomes a new Nostalgia Goldmine for GW to cash out on. Old World bringing back Brettonians and Tomb Kings after they were squatted from early AoS being another example. Honestly I feel like Dogs of War are one of the weirdest cases of a permanently (so far) squatted army, it feels like GW is constantly toying with the idea of bringing it back but can never quite bring themselves to commit. Like one of the TOW journals gives a bunch of rules for running a Merc/DoW army but they didn't make any new models, or even do a Made to Order run of the old ones.
Moe.
Post models Lest the badmoon curse you
>>98948197The nice thing about darkoath is they have a lot of axes to paint and I love doing weapons
>>98944497Skill issue M8 (pic related)
>>98947906>What squatted rangeStormcast mage/engineer chambers. Stormcast in general are lame and feel like notspiky CW. Magic warriors and artillery made them FEEL different and with their squatting it's back to samesameslop.I'd if anything made ALL stormcast like 2nd ed ones, less focus on melee (that's CW niche) and instead make them half-magic paladins, good at medium range and buffing themselves in melee. Sort of middle ground between Lumineth (magic, buffs) and CW (elite armored infantry, melee).Like, why we need gazillion stormcast with weapon/board or 2 weapons, lame, CW do that already. Make them like roman legions, soldiers to CW warriors, and make line stormcast have a bunch of javelins (that can be buffed by character mage) that can be thrown 12 inches or use in melee in a pinch, instant difference and something that is more interesting to play that yet another lemming rush...
looks like their wont be any end of edition books, otherwise they would have announced them by now
>>98947906beastmen. Why can't they double dip into AOS and TOW like the new custards in 40k? Some inter-department rivalry or bean counting bullshit?>>98948197I wish these guys were bigger. Like, much much much bigger. I get troggoths being a little bit bigger than an ogre. But a trogboss or dankhold troggoth should be fucking massive. like almost the size of a megagargant.And yes mega gargants should be bigger, but that doesn't mean I think they belong in the game as an army. Big oversized models like those should be RoR's that fight for ale or sheep or loot or w/e in the lore.anyway cute model>>98948328I agree. The reclusian/reclusiam chamber they came out with this edition are just chaos warriors with different paint jobs and fewer spikes.Reclusians are covered in spikes and skulls and little tchotcki's hanging off them like CSM. The new hero on the dragon is definitely a closet chaos worshipper, and the other new guy on on the giant bird is better but still I think they should leverage long and undamaged capes and loincloths more. I don't think we see many chest tabards on stormcast, do we? Those would be cool if they can distinguish them from Black templars. The old shortswords and shields were more roman but now I don't think many of the new models have shortswords. Everyone now has a massive fuck-off axe or hammer or Dark Lord Sauron mace. They have more furs and pelts too and dangling belts and exposed chainmail. I guess StD really sell well and they're trying to dip into that crowd. Next edition's set will be StD vs silver StD>javelinsyeah the javelins are cool too. They have cool spears, esp on vindictors and prosecutors.
>TQGreenskinz (keep boarboys, new chariot, boys, shaman)Bonus: alt timeline Ardboys refresh without the retcon (tryhard disciplined runts, banners, musician, tactics, crossbows and artillery)
>>98948178Post more this is so good
>>98948666>Why can't they double dip into AOS and TOW like the new custards in 40k?The departments are separate within GW and have to remain entirely separate to track performance. The initial crossover with Freeguild, Dispossessed, StD, etc was a freak accident. HH can't even use 40k daemons and other stuff that fits given the fluff

What is strong Nighthaunt list actualy?
>>98948775nta but it would be possible if the cape was cut from the pauldron/arm. You would have to do some greenstuff blending for the cloak though as the two options have different cloak pattens, so the new pauldron may not align

>>98948831No its not…
>>98948831This may be the single most soulless post currently on this board
>>98948161The fate of imperial agents in 40k probably didn't help the prospects of dow coming back as their own army
>>98947938I say she should get a model and put in charge of the redhaunts, like celemnis should get a model for the silverhaunts>but she's fire, not blooddon't care, red is red
>>98948666>Why can't they double dip into AOS and TOW like the new custards in 40k?I fully believe they want to do just that, but only when beastmen get their update with morghur and shit.
>>98948930But who would be the green ghost lady?
>>98948937They're not led by a lady, currently, but nagash could do the funniest shit and punish the poor guy even further by marrying him with a woman he doesn't want, like kurdoss.
>>98948662>otherwise they would have announced them by nowWould they? 40k stuff got announced at the world championship preview last year, that's happening in about 3 weeks from now.
>>98948662No, they're announcing them after the christmas purchases, otherwise they risk panicking the cattle.
>>98948937>green ghost lady
>>98948930The thing is her current look is just very obviously olynder with a scythe painted red and black.We should get rules for her at the very least and let people kitbash their own.
>>98948980She's totally different, she has huge boobs because she was a sorceress in life.
>>98948968>blue maid tranime

>>98948762>HH can't even use 40k daemonsRetard.
>>98949133I hate the runewright's armor. Big ass slabs of metal just hanging there, football pauldrons.Disgusting.
>>98949140You mean the apron plates? I think they may have been inspired by Vashtorr.
>>98948197Trying out my paint scheme for the Helsmiths. I quite like it so far.
>>98949157Looks like unicorn vomit
>>98948762Anon...
>>98947906Scourge privateers to act as CoS navy and beastmaster skirmishers
>>98949157Reminds me of the original Chaos Dwarf colour scheme. Kinda cool
>>98949236We know them as Zharr Vyxa now.
Where is that one anon with his fluorescent green chorfs.Is he safe? Is he alright?
>>98949255The legion no longer grows.
>>98948762>HH can't even use 40k daemons and other stuff that fits given the fluffDidn't they just get rules for tzeentch and slaanesh stuff?
>>98949033>>98949083Yeah red could work. I was thinking a cold muted brown tone for the wood on the platform and maybe a cold green or purple for the lathe piece of fabric draped over it. A warm copper color for the metal parts too.
>>98949259It grew too greedy.
>>98949236>>98949241They both have some red, that's about where the similarities end.
>>98949295why are their beards blue
>>98949303blue beards are pedophiles
>>98949303black is sometimes highlighted with blue and paint was more limited then
>>98948762>HH can't even use 40k daemons and other stuff that fits given the fluffAbsolute imbecile. I bet you also think that GW came up with names like Ogors and Orruks for trademark purposes.
>>98948197Recently finished the deltoid maxxing squad, I hope they'll be hitting the table tomorrow.
>>98949328Trademark derangement syndrome is pretty funny. There's tens of thousands of secondaries out there who believe GW killed whfb in favour of aos because they wanted to copyright orruk or whatever.
>>98949351I'm thinking of printing and painting a pack of these for my brother since he's almost at 1k points and I want us to have our first game together soon.these look pretty awesome. how did you do the wings? Please tell me it was a quick paint job...
I think im the sole person who actually likes the orruck term over orc or ork, but its also just because it sounds more like Uruk-hai.
>>98949157I like it
>>98949006Do the same dark-turquoise with yellow spots as the belly tentacle like is the the same creature going throuh Festus's internals>>98949157a palet of more than 4 colours already in a basic unit is going to be hard to balance
>>98949351These are really beautiful overall, multiple points that impressed me. The color contrast between base and mini is stark and emphasizes the unnatural skin tones, the wings are highlighted wonderfully particularly on the edges, and the delts have good volume
>>98949356It was kinda fast but it's more surface than it seems, so it took more time than expected:Dark crimson base, darker wash, then drybrush gradually fron red and orange to yellow as yo go to the edges of the membrane, wash the sides.
Bitching.
>>98949405Whatcha planning to do with the like 20 vulkites in this box?Clanshields or just use for earlier editions?
>>98947906>TQI'm torn between Bonesplitterz and Greenskinz since both had endless potential and yet, GW decided to play them dirty.Generic Greenskinz found home in TOW but let's not full ourselves - that was not the plan when they were squatted in AoS for sure. Both back then and now Orruks need a generic subfaction that serves as a baseline for all green retards. They could expand and update them, coming up with some flavourful fantasy theme like Orruk nomads or siege specialists. From them, Ironjawz and Bonesplitterz would emerge as specialist armies with their own themes.No, I don't accept Kruleboyz and I won't accept them. They look shit, that's it. They look like a cheap warhammerized version of MESBG orcs. I simply don't buy it.
>>98949414I sometimes play 2nd with mates so they'll be of use then. Everything else can be used for my Khazalites and Deepkin so very happen
>>98949405Jealous
>>98949426It's quite insane how AoS peaked with the 2nd edition. Ironically, 2nd being so good makes some people feel more warmth towards the 1st edition as well since 2nd was basically 1st but polished and refined.
>>98949006I've had the idea to paint him like an actual leech, so dark dark dark glossy black/brown. Maybe some little blotches and stripes
>>98949443I don't completely agree. I think the core rules are better now. Not across the board, but it's a net improvement. The army rules and listbuilding are what I feel have degraded over time. And that's not necessarily because they got too simple or too complex, but mostly because they feel more constraining now. Listbuilding especially feels like a chore you have to push through and not a fun exercise in itself.
>>98949425Ok but what's your opinion on the Gloomspite Gitz.
>>98949491Tricky. I like every GSG subfaction but I don't agree with them being souped into one book. Gitmob - with their Gotta go fast rebranding - have no business sharing the book with Moonclan. Spiderfang should have been fleshed out ages ago. Trolls can stay with Moonclan as a cavern-focus faction.
>>98949504Gitmob don't fit but I never felt like spiderfang were out of place because the creepy crawly thing fits in the cave theme of gloomspite.Especially if they ever got around to refreshing spider riders like how Blanche envisioned them with moonclan riders.
>>98949558I wish they stopped being just about spiders, they would fit better in moonclan if they had all sorts of creepy crawlies from spiders and centipedes to insectoid squigs and other hybrid arthropods.
>>98949566Yeah I agree, maybe not insectoid squigs but definitely centipedes like that one artpiece from the battletome.
>>98949443tons of awesome new armies were 1e tho like DoK and deepkinFunny to think realmgate wars and those were the same edition.
Newfag with paints here anons, do tell, decided to try out contrast paint (since the stormfiend armor looks really nice and i'm fucking stupid to find something like it) How do i apply it? Gorilla like and place a decent chunk of it on the brush and apply it? Use it like a normal paint and apply layers?
>>98949605>Realmgate warsKino...
>>98949405This was my intro to AoS.We must RETVRN
>>98949426just keep in mind fyreslayers are all on 32mm bases while kh*zalids are on 28s
Remember the stolen beard ornament!
>>98949625I can't imagine playing against people that care about this kind of shit.
>>98949625I'm using them as Fyreslayers in a Khaz army.
So only 3-2 units from the fryreslayers survived the purge and went to the new duardin faction?>>98949638One of our buddies couldn't play against another just because he had square bases (same size, just the shape was different of course, and he respected not piling them in for advantage of the shape), most of the store didn't care at all except that one or two guys
>>98949638It's a pretty big difference when you've got a whole bunch of infantry.
>>98949653Damn 32s are huge for vulkites lol
>>98949605Weren’t deepkin 2e
>>98949684Tail end of 1st
>>98949680Probably the pose and the giant axes going ham. Probs would have made the 28mm ones difficult to pile in together?
>>9894969528 didn't exist yet, it was either 25 or 32
Do you think the new Seraphon will release before Christmas?
>>98949720by the end of this monthor else...
Audiobook synopsis went up on Amazon>Morrskeet, a Grey Seer of mediocre talent, attempts to ingratiate himself with Vizzik Skour and become the Herald of the Horned Rat. His desire puts a target on his back, complicating his miserable life as jealous rivals attempt to end it and take his place.>LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE>This story dives deep into the twisted machinations, political manoeuvring, and the chaos of Skaven culture. You'll be taken for a ride as Morrskeet attempts to implement his complicated plans and achieve his lofty ambitions.>THE STORY>A Grey Seer whose arcane abilities are peerless, a chosen Skaven whose life was saved by a miracle of the Horned Rat – most of Morrskeet's claims about himself are false.>Despite his limited abilities, Morrskeet is thrust into a contest orchestrated by the dreaded Verminlord, Vizzik Skour. To become Vizzik's favoured underling and Herald of the Horned Rat, a Grey Seer must capture the vast Sigmarite fortress of Thunder Crag and be the first to raise their Screaming Bell atop its pinnacle.>Accompanied by Rattaq, a brutal Stormvermin bodyguard, and his devious minion Quiver, Morrskeet must endure backstabbing, his rivals' sorceries, and Eshin assassins if he is to even survive the fortress. Along the way, he faces a terrifying realisation – he might actually be the chosen herald of the Horned Rat!>Written by Robbie MacNiven. Narrated by Richard Reed. Runtime 10 hours and 45 minutes approx.
>>98949684DOK, Deepkin, Sacrosanct, and NH all launched in like the same six month window. End of 1st to start of 2E was a wild ride.
>>98949684>>98949687April/May 2018, so they snuck in as 1e closed.
>>98949695GW wasn't producing 28mm bases until fairly recently.
>>98949746They started with Warcry iirc.
>>98949732imagine if this guy is how they update (read: downgrade) the screaming bell
>>98949765I want to say new Eldar or sisters of battle but I'm really not sure
>>98949746>>98949765>>98949843It was the very first 2-player starter set for Warcry.
>>98949473List building in 2e had cool shit like sea/wood elves united, living city and incredible chaos soups, but it was also DOG SHIT because it permitted shit like NINE FUCKIN STORMDRAKES or NINE FUCKIN PUSGOYLES or EIGHTEEN FUCKIN LONG STRIKES. The fluff was better, but the rules themselves massively disincentivized building an actual army instead of taking a hero that made obviously elite units into battle line and then spamming that unit. At the end of the day, the tables at my LGS are much nicer to look at in 4E than they were in 2e. >Just play what you wantSure, but wargaming is about lining our minis up and having them look good on a table. I can't control what my opponent brings, but I'd like the overall table to look good and tables in 2e often didn't.
>>98949609Don't use it like a gorilla, use it like a chimp. Apply moderate layers that have just enough extra paint to pool and take advantage of the contrast effect, but don't glob it on or you'll get that chewed bubblegum look. Also, don't use it on wide flat spaces or it will also do the chewed bubblegum thing
>>98950042>NINE FUCKIN STORMDRAKESHoly sovlDo hope they keep the kit around and not turn him into a pixar dragon
>>98950195stardrakes need to go extinctyou'll be allowed one, only for vandus

>>98950207>vandus on calanax+>alt built as lord celestant on stardrakeWouldn't be surprised if it ended up like this. Rip drakesworn templar
>>98950237>>alt built as lord celestant on stardrakeoptimistic on your part
>>98950319I believe they'd keep at least one generic option around for a model that previously had 2 generic versions.
>>98949720Could be but I doubt it>>98949566>>98949588They should have a greater emphasis on dirty stuff in general, more armadillos and moles inspired stuff and what have you
>>98949443+ at least for writers it felt like they still had passion for it (unlike today)
>>98950481People may accuse me of fake nostalgia but 1e and 2e battletomes felt much more inspired. Perhaps stakes were higher back then or writers felt they can prove themselves in GW's very own creative Wild West.
>>98948046Thanks. Looks like I did get most of them right. Anything else you can think of that I should know?
>>98950543https://www.tabletopbattles.com/the-secret-language-of-40k-decoding-warhammer-slangA lot of 40k terms leaks to AoS so it may be more useful to you than it seems.
>>98950195STORMDRAKES, not stardrakes. Stormdrakes are part of the same era as Krondys and were criticized for their overly humanlike/"furry"-friendly faces (and IIRC they also have like chest hair or pubes or something). >>98950232Wow, I'm so fucking surprised that you have this lukewarm take that I already addressed. The point of the rules is to discourage people from breaking the games. You will never be able to reconcile the nature of playing in public spaces with your homebrew idea of what is 'fun', that's why you want the games rules to encourage healthy play patterns, which is the fuckin point I made already.
>>98950685Wait, what? Stormdrakes weren't around in 2nd.
>>98950538Some 2e tomes did decline hard, like the seraphon one, but some were absolute soul like Fyreslayers and Cities of Sigmar.
>>98950700I was waiting for someone to point that out. Stormdrakes notoriously were delayed from 3e’s launch wave and had a pre release nerf.
>>98950042That's really not much different for many armies in 4e, you just switched from spamming unit A to spamming unit B with a hero tax attached. The only real difference is you can no longer double-reinforce into absolutely massive units.
>>989507084th doesn’t really have spam for what it counts. It’s just a fucked up game of singleton mostly nowadays.
>>98949262that's an exception just like boingrot rules and std models though
>>98950716why on earth do you have this image saved
>>98950716>Hero or unit spamWhere's the love? Where's the feeling? Why is there 6 deathmaster's only in your army?
>>98950042What I want most from 5th is listbuilding that doesn't suck. More artefacts and mount traits and enhancements and all that shit. While we're at it can they please start coming up with more battle formations that aren't "spam this one warscroll some more"
>>98950706>>98950700Even post nerf at 450 points a pair they were absurd and unhealthy. I apologize for getting some of the details fuzzy, I played a LOT when the Ghur monster season came out (multiple games a week against different players). But the general idea of having battle line, but then you took one single hero and it lifted that tax off your entire army, was present and shitty during 2e. There were a lot of other issues with the core rules in 2e I didn't like (32mm bases with 1" reach making entire armies worthless, conga lines, no "Look Out Sir") which emergently led to issues with list building I continue to dislike though. Foot heroes didn't have built in Look Out Sir 2e, so any army like Khorne mortals which was dependent on foot hero aura bubbles was categorically extremely weak. I think it's unhealthy for a wargame to actively discourage unit variety and especially unhealthy when infantry is in a bad spot. I admit my memory may be patchy, and that to me a big part of list building is to make two armies that look good next to each other on the table more than most. My personal biases are certainly present. That said, across the board, for basically every army, the inclusion of needing multiple "tax heroes", removal of batteline rules that you ignore anyway, and (controversially) the inclusion of 'once per turn (army)' have led to a noticeably better looking games with greater unit diversity both at my local level and across the larger casual scene based on Woehammer's BCP scraping.
>>98950771I'm a fucking idiot anon but what do you mean hero tax? The whole regiment thing that a hero must be there so you can add units?
>>98950788Nta but from context clues that seems to be the case yeh
RIP Aly Morrisonhttps://www.wargamer.com/warhammer-the-old-world/warhammer-sculptor-aly-morrison-has-died
>>98950849Any notable models of his we'll recognize?
>>98948968>blue maid aryanime>>98949006>>98949266The belly leech and the nurgling in the back really get to me
>>98949405How much? Wanted that box on release but played neither dwarves nor wet elves
>>98950788A "tax" refers to mandatory but potentially undesirable units as part of list building. For example, a battle line used to be two or three mandatory units of infantry (like ardboys, or gutrippaz, or steelhelms) which was a "tax" to stop your 1000 point list from just being nagash (910 points) and ten skeletons (90 points) or whatever. The other big term you should know for wargaming is "deep strikes". That is when a unit is deployed anywhere on the map, instead of being deployed in your starting area during set up. "deep strikes" usually specify a certain distance from enemy units, so "screening" for "deep strikes" is also an important concept. There's a famous jpeg of a dude at a tournament who managed to screen the entire board and his opponent had to forfeit because he put his whole army into reserve for a deep strike in 40k.
>>98950849Rip
>>98950849Sad, he only retired earlier this year.>>98950893Mostly oldhammer stuff, he was involved with design up until very very recently but mostly in a management role, I don't think any of his models made it into AoS because again, very old stuff. But if you're familiar with oldhammer stuff you'll recognize a lot.Sad because he apparently wanted to work some more on his own projects now that he was retired, instead of overseeing others.
>>98950972£65Fucking mad saving honestly, insanely pleased with it haha
>>98951049Wew that'd be a pretty good deal for either half by themselves, let alone the whole box. Jealous anon.
>>98951043>Sad because he apparently wanted to work some more on his own projects now that he was retired, instead of overseeing others.Well, now the good Lord can have him design some weird fuckass new deep sea fish for people to discover in the Marianas trench, or something like that.
>>98950849F and GW won't bother with an obituary, which they should do.On something related to Morrison and AoS I think the Karujin might be slightly inspired by this test sculpt that Aly Morrison did for GW back in the 80s; similar armour, guy has a Snake theme on his shield, it's pure conjecture on my part though
>>98949405>dwarves vs elves>fire vs water>land vs sea>fish vs lizards (in theory, there are no droths in the box)We will not soon see such kino again, all because some people couldn't stop seething over Le Naked Diaper Babies
>>98951107What was this guy supposed to be for anyway? Cathay or nippon or something? Or like an eastern inspired marauder?They did an obituary post for blanche iirc. They might do one for him.
>>98951146I think they only did it for Blanche after everyone asked where the obituary was, Morrison's name doesn't have the same cachet as Blanche did, even his ex-wife's name(Trish Carden) is probably more well known now than he is.As for that Test Model, I think it was meant to be part of the oriental heroes range back in the 80s
Can anyone toss me the Children of Teclis audiobook or any of the Neave Blacktalon audiobooks? Thanks anons :D
>>98947906Im new to AoS just reading the core rules and army rules on wahapedia. What are rage points and fury levels? Addition rules in a generals handbook? Do people usually play with these rules?
I can't decide between starting with the coolest fucking mechs ever>Imperial KnightsOr the coolest fucking zombies ever>NecronsShould I flip a coin or what
>>98951260Yeah they're this general's handbook "season"'s gimmickAt my local it's just ignored because honestly who gives a fuck but ymmv

>>98951278Necrons. And nighthaunt
>>98951278Crons are easy to paint and have look goodBut nighthaunt are even cooler
>>98951278I'm not a fan of painting huge minis so between knights and cron I'd go with nighthaunt
>>98951260>What are rage points and fury levels? Addition rules in a generals handbook?Yes. They are this season's matched play gimmick. Attacker starts with fury level 1, defender with level 2. At the start of every BATTLE ROUND you both generate a pool of rage dice equal to your fury level and are able to use them to interact with variety of abilities. Your fury level can be raised by a hero using a Place of Power or an opponent's rage dice ability. There are 2 generic abilities, one that is a final attempt to reduce incoming damage that reduces your fury level and then an end of turn "attack". There are also faction specific abilities provided via the Scourge of Aqshy faction packs. >Do people usually play with these rules?Mandatory for matched play such as RTT's and GT's. Optional if you're playing with friends. Sometimes in competitive environments both players hardly interact with the mechanic at all.
>>98950716always cracks me up>>98950849>>98951043that’s so morbid honestly, makes me remember a coworker of mine who died from cancer before he even got to retire and do anything
IDK what's wrong with the new ogres but they are such a chore to paint. And that's true with most of the aos scupts, i find.
>>98951816That is strange, never heard that complaint before. I've heard some bones made of complex centerpieces with fiddly bits like Nagash but never something as simple as ogres.
>>98951816Really, I only test painted one at my LGs and I found it easier than marines.
>>98951816Seems like theyd be easy to slap chop if youre into that
Order of the furrow when?

>>98947906Damn that OG stormcast design kicked so much ass. Lightning paladins were my fucking jam.
>>98950849>gets posted here>zero posts in wfggrim
>>98951816I know it's a common conplaint that new minis are often full of greebles but nuOgres seemed pretty straightforward to me all things considered.>>98952820Paladins are the coolest stormcast by far I agree
>>98952629Nice paintjob. Bilepiper is a shit model to assemble from what I 'member.
>>98952838Wfg is like omega dead lately for some reason. I mean this is the slowest thread we've had in a long time and it's still twice as fast as they are.Wonder what happened because didn't they just get a new book announced or something
>>98952629Need to tidy up Galadriel base rim

>>98952967Seems like we're recreating Dunmer from base principles but I'm not against it. You could totally turn the top thingy on that spear into a cool magic laser emitter.

>>98953244If you can not identify the /his/torical influences behind that artwork you are a hislet. Sorry.
>>98953344I don't think the concept does a good job at playing into the alleged historical influences

>>98953465Why is the face in his mouth?This model confuses me.
>>98953477My cat loves playing with them
>>98953474Genuinely what were they thinking though>Yeah uhh lemme try and monetize another company's shit
Does anyone have pdfs for the HOS, SOB and/or KH battletomes for 4th edition?It's been so long even the link above is deleting pdfs.
>>98953485consider the possibility of a migration of the nasal openings more fitting for a creature that may spend significant amounts of time submerged or underground with only its head exposed, and probably in dark places where the sense of smell and the sense of sight switch places in importance.
>>98953503Situations like that make me worried about Wahapedia. What is the best way to make an exact 1:1 copy of specific part like all 1st and 2nd edition sections?
>>98953523elephants offer an example of an elevated nasal opening, even though in their case it's very much to support the musculature of a trunk than anything and eye sockets aren't similar to a human skull
>>98950849is it a trannie? Why does he have a girls name?
>>98953535no
>>98953525Waha is in Russia, they are unironically secure enough to do whatever they want as the state of russia officially encourages piracy against nations they consider hostile.
>>98953543Yeah, blah blah blah until the next warm-up like we had one a decade ago. Not to mention that the Wahapedia Chad is not immortal and the moment he's gone the project may die and be gone as well.
>>98950849?????
>>98952629I really like how the Skaven rune on that wall looks
>>98953503Not only that. The retards ran the entire ruleset through AI trying to rephrase it so that the rules in essence stayed the same but were worded differently from the legally protected text.
All I want to say is that I'm happy to know there are so many FEC players here.
>>98950849Obituary went up.https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/sgde8pp9/aly-morrison/
>>98953523I see the grot phrenologists have upped their research
>>98953465Nice
>>98953588Kek might as well tryWould this work? It is my understanding that you can't really copyright rules per se but rather the way it is written.Sounds pretty useless for something like a 40k rules app where a lot depends on what exactly is written though.
>>98952820Good taste >>98952838They’re in something of a drought over there>>98953512>deleting pdfsWhich ones exactly?
>>98953726To name a few:Stormcast, Ossiarch, Disciples, Maggotkin, Orruk, FEC, Soulblight.
Any good soul happens to have PDFs of General's Handbooks 2018, 2020 and all four Broken Realms books?
>>98953635Quicker than the Blanche one, at least Wonder if we will see this as a common thing in the future
>>98953815Did they ever do something for blanche in white dwarf? Little tribute article or something like that?
>>98953763Ouch. That stings. Hopefully someone has them saved somewhere.

>>98953821I think he got a big focus piece when he retired, but I don't know if they ever did an obituary piece. He's been featured several times over the decades though.
I know this always happens when we start approaching the holidays but warcom has really slowed down to a crawl lately.Were we supposed to be getting lots and lots of necromunda articles or something?
>>98953979Guess the whole RPG fiasco ended up scrambling all their plans.
>>98953821No, just a small war comm article.
>>98953979I think a lot of the necromunda stuff is in limbo because they canceled a lot of their sales push for the big RPG when they cut that from their plans. Their road map did mention some stuff coming soon but they probably need to space it out over the next couple of months while all their staff is on holiday.
>>98953979>Were we supposed to be getting lots and lots of necromunda articles or something?that was Rob's opinion in a stream; he also says it was the reason they announced that TOW AJ on Monday, since SDS had to fill the empty socket that was meant for Necromunda with something else
>>98953933Oh, I have them, I just noticed that they are missing now. I just want to finish up the collection, which now needs the HOS, SOB, KH and Seraphon battletomes. 2 obviously aren't out yet, but the other 2 have been out for a while now, but no pdfs yet.
>>98953968Thank you, now I have to find GHB 2018 and my collection is complete.
>>98953990Both armies with pretty small playerbases, might be waiting a while
>>98953815you won't find me looking back fondly at cruddace's legacy when he bites the resin dust I went and looked up jordan sorcery interview with him in the hope of finding something redeeming, but no, he's a faggotwe also got confirmation aos1.0 used the trial rules of 40k's new edition in the work instead of 40k taking after aos

>>98953993https://gofile.io/d/eEAl1gIi
>>98954025I thought Cruddace was a writer, not a model designer.>>98954033Trish Cardin did a lot of monster models at GW, like the Troll Hag or the Dragons for WFBShe has her own model range>https://footsoreminiatures.co.uk/collections/harrowhyrst?filter.v.price.gte=0.00&filter.v.price.lte=75.00&page=2&sort_by=manual
>>98954025I like the interviews especially when they reveal aos stuff. Alan Merrett's also touches upon it a bit. Apparently the winds of magic worlds thing is something they had in mind way earlier but could never find a way to squeeze it into fantasy, which is pretty interesting. Or at least that's what it sounded like to me.>>98954033Another sculptor, known mostly for doing monsters. Did most of the dragons, including this 1200 point monstrosity for aos. Also did the troll hag.

GW edited all the Blacktalon episodes together for some reason>https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/m0fqfamv/watch-the-complete-blacktalons-saga-in-one-epic-supercut/
>>98954303Harrowdeep my beloved...
>>98954303I liked the story and characters in this but the animation quality (or lack thereof) ruined it.Blacktalon with the animation level of Sigmar's Toll would've been pure kino
>>98954303The story was bad but the animation style and quality were simply horrendous. Why can't AoS get any decent media?
>>98954345Yeah, the animation quality is subpar, but it's unsurprising that GW doesn't want to put money into making tie-in animated materialReally, they should have used this editing chance to upgrade some of the animation, like what Sunrise did with the older Gundam compilation films.Those films have their own issues, but it does make the animation better
>>98954345really? i found neave bland and mary-sue levels annoying. even the "story" was thoroughly uninspiring and nonsense. background drawings of the set piece locations and some side characters were decent
>>98954447ok
Will I ever need 120 Ghouls or is 80 enough? For some reason I subconsciously lean towards having 3 units of 40 Ghouls.
>>98954514>3 units of 40 Ghouls.Only way to properly play FEC. Fluffy af and even more fun
Legions of Nagash vs Chaos is truly the most kino match-up. Vengeance for the Battle of Black Skies!!!!
>>98954514>>98954555VGH THE SOVL
>>98954555I adore everything about this picture
>>98953461I can place my finger on a rough idea of it but it does take a number of liberties yeah>>98953633Totally agreed I’m just glad you posted this
>>98954224Troggoths are so cool brosI'm still mad that they botched the concept of a troggoth king with trugg's model. Just way too busy
>>98954764is it that difficult to rework him?

>>98954819I wouldn't know, didn't buy him.Saw a pretty cool proxy online once that someone handsculpted for the most part, looked a lot like troll king from fantasy. Obviously required a lot of skill though.
Do I play Disciples of Tzeentch or Hedonites of Slaanesh? I really like the mortal side of Slaanesh, although due to the current spearhead it's far easier and cheaper to play an all-daemons army.
>>98954979HoS definitely have a better range imo, tzeentch is just all over the place with tzaangors and such and besides the greater daemon the daemon side is also really underwhelming.
>>98954979>>98955005Might be worth keeping in mind that according to some rumours we'll be getting a bunch of lesser daemon refreshes next edition.Slaanesh had their mortal side redone very recently so I wouldn't expect anything major for a while. Tzeentch on the other hand is really due some attention, though I expect them to do khorne first since we have more solid rumours on that front.Anyway, in a vacuum, I'd probably pick slaanesh cause the current range is so much better.
>>98954979>>98955005>>98955040Does this work as a mortal-themed list?Infernal Enraptures - 100 PointsLord of Pain - 110 Points-10 Blissbarb Archers - 140 Points-10 Myrmidesh Painbringers (Reinforced) - 260 Points-10 Symbaresh Twinsouls (Reinforced) - 240 Points-3 Slaangor Fiendbloods - 140 PointsTotal Cost= 1000 PointsThis is the sort of army I want to play. Is it viable/fun to play an all, or at least mostly, mortal force that is a little more elite or should I not bother trying?
>‘Khorne, I have never prayed to you. A god who needs prayers is no god at all. But if you listen, I ask a boon of you, here, today. Grant me revenge – grant me an eternity of slaughter beneath the laughing stars. Grant me this, and I will drown the realms in blood. And if you do not, then you had best strike me down now, for I will not forget.’ He spread his arms, waiting.This dude can't be for real. Did he seriously write that?
>>98955093Sounds kinda similar to Conan's prayer to Crom.
Why is the standard corpse cart so bad? The expansion one is pretty good but the normal one just gives deadwalkers within 12" crit hits auto wound. Its not very strong itself either
>use the gay miniswap reddit for some chaos/khorne bits>some dude responds, he has a bunch of shit im looking exactly for>says he doesn't know how to price it so I shoot an offer and open to negotiations >this faggot ghosts me and is still active on the miniswap subHoly fuck dude if you dont like my offer say so. Didnt some anon say they were going to whip a something similar for here?
>>98955243I bet they probably watched Conan and it inspired them to just copy it
>>98954555Even the most staunch AoS hater would have to sing praises here honestly >>98955243I’m not sure that quite constitutes a prayer but I can see it
>>98953465Nice, I like the leather and the contrast between the skin and the mouth/mushrooms
Is there a fantasy or AoS equivalent of this? Or do you think it’s fine to use?>the symbol for orkyHehehehehe
>>98956184it's fine, symbols are similar enough in style, although you will want to avoid the ones that show futuristic concepts
