This guy

>>95927897 (OP)
>TQ
The Skullgrinder. Nothing can compete with its style.
With >>95927940's take being also very good. Khorne has some of the best models of the setring.

With the overwhelming success of Cathay, how much longer do you think AoS has left?

>>95927897 (OP)
>tq
This guy. Perfectly executed. Only downside is his two bodyguards are kind of boring, just normal saurus.
Honorable mentions go to the crimson court underworlds guys, and the CoS arch-knight.

Looks like there will be no Khul this edition. Even in ending campaign.
But, PROBABLY, in 5th one.
Kinda sad i need to say.

>>95927990

Decades

Old world is too rules heavy for most new people, and if James changes that then they ruin it for the actual fans of the game.
Also killing AoS would drive away those who have invested in AoS, I for one would not switch to old world if it were the only option.
Besides AoS is much easier to learn and does very well for itself in comparison to anything other than 40k.

I have noticed that there are many negative comments about the Roll Models mini comics. Can someone tell me why?

>>95928083
Roll Models was a perfect example of "Great Art, bad writing" It had better art than probably any other AoS comic that has ever existed, which is the only reason you still get reposts and edits of it to this day. The "jokes" were abysmal, though. The majority of comics barely had something that could even generously be called an actual punchline. Fucking ChatGPT is wittier than your average Roll Model comic.

>>95927990
considering fantasy survived 20 years almost without a single new product release between like 1998 and 2014 i'd say we have at least a decade left, probably more since we just got 2 new army ranges a few months ago

>>95927990
>overwhelming
none of the cathay stuff has sold out in aus

>>95928180
>20 years almost without a single new product release between like 1998 and 2014
what?

>>95928020
There's no way

>>95928214
how many new armies did they add during that time? ogres and.....?

>>95928232
>new product == new army

Ignoring all the troll talk, realistically speaking Cathay was a lightning in a bottle release for TOW. A brand new, very popular army that hadn't been done in Warhammer before is not something the Specialist Team can just put out on repeat to replicate the success.

What are they realistically going to drop next as a new army, Kislev? Dogs of War? Araby? (lol) All considerably less hype than Cathay, plus there's a limit to how many quasi-historical human armies they can put out before people start to lose interest. Imagine the state of TOW in 10 years if half the armies in the game are human armies.

>>95928232
I didn't realise "new product" and "new army" are the same thing.

>>95928133
Is this true? Are GW stores just binning thousands of dollars of AoS product they can't sell?

Khul will release for the anniversary... Only a month to go

>>95928276
yep

>>95928278
Wow. That seems like pretty bad news for the game.

>>95928276
No, third party retailers exploit eBay to bypass GW's discount limits in the worst case. Warehousing and shelf space are important but it'll never be a trash scenario. I've seen my lgs just pile stuff on the floor in stacks

>>95928242
>actually give people something to buy that isnt just recycles dogshit models from before half the player base was born
>people buy it

shocker

>>95928285
Do you have any proof it's not happening?

>>95928310
That too, but being "new" is also an important factor. The risk of updating old models is that barely anyone buys them because they already have the old ones and deem them good enough. You didn't have any grogs sitting on 4k points of Cathay fully painted.

Like even personally speaking, I passed on the recent skelly box even though it looks fantastic because man, I just already have enough skellies.

Disappointment in approximately 1h 50m get hype

>>95928312
Do you have any proof that it is?

Also, does the US have so many Chinese or how come it's pretty much the only place that sells out. Who buys all the cathay shit? UK shops, even the ones with the largest discount of 20 to 25% still have stock despite small initial allocations.
But maybe the US just barely gets any product because of the increased import taxes that either GW or the LGS pay.

>>95928340
thats exactly my point though. fantasy ended up in a death spiral because they werent adding new things for people to buy, and the only things that ever came out were refreshes of kits they already owned which frankly didnt look much better because sculpting technology stagnated between like 1995-2010. warmachine actually adopted zbrush way before GW in like 2007ish, which is why their 2nd edition models ended up being lightyears better than GWs models at the time, and their business model of modular releases and just straight up adding new units to the roster (which created its own problems with skew bloat later on) meant that they actually started to compete against GW.

anyways, GW was too conservative with the fantasy setting, treating it like a historical, frozen in time and unwilling or unable to add new factions and new elements to the game, the existing player base wasnt buying the refreshes, and it feels like by 2010 they really just gave up on it. some new editions came out but you still had armies sporting codexes that were printed 10 years prior in some cases.

all that to say, if old world makes the mistake (which it doesnt look like they're doing) of just sitting on their laurels and vending those old kits no one wants, it will die the same death whfb did before it. but if they can keep pulling cathays/kislevs/nippons etc out of their asses, it stands a chance.

>>95928312
Common sense, you should try to educate yourself beyond the level endemic to your race

Honestly, the baffling thing is GWs limited effort with TOW. In an age of throwaway UW, Warcry and Commemoratives kits they only really have Cathay, Bone Dragon, knights and lord on hippogryph. I'm really underwhelmed by what should've been mostly a refresh of WHF with bespoke kits
Hopefully second edition will rectify this but as is it's clear GW weren't confident in TOW

Nothing burger day? Again?

>>95928439
Khorne army box + IDK
calling it

Why is it that sometimes a godbeast would vomit out a whole species while other times they birth singular other godbeast?
Like, what's the difference between Krondyss and Argentine?

>>95928277
TGA's source sad "nope, he wont".

Also, he will be the face of a battletome if he will be released within aniversary. But we have ai slop as a battletome cover.
And Whitedwarf pity warscroll.
Also fags didnt even used khorne DP to proxy him, but generic one.
Small. Indy. Company.

>Behemat vomitted out the primordial goop gargants spawned from
>Aleguzzlers and aleguzzling gargants have basically been entirely retconned because someone at the studio has an alcohol problem

>>95928439
Hold it for an hour and a half. You can complain after they put the preview up.

>>95928505
Behemat vomiting gargants is a Kronos refrence, not an alcohol joke.

>>95928427
> second edition
Should've balanced 1st edition better.
Mf's had 10 years to do so

>>95927990
I give it 4 more editions before GW decides to go for another endtimes to continue the cycle introduced right before AoS

How’s 4th edition treating you so far lads?
Any chance they’ll go back and finish the audiobook series for the realmgate wars btw? They did 8 of them and then stopped.

>>95928593
not liking the "just table them bro" gameplay loop of the new ghb

I think the old battle tactic system was way better, it just needed a better balance between grand alliances

>>95928593
>How’s 4th edition treating you so far lads?
They made hobgrot hero a real unit, but the new base size is too small, so this guy stays a Killaboss forever

>>95928593

I'm enjoying the new GHB, points for my army went down a bit and I no longer have a "prospector" tax
It's also nice to not have to worry about tactics much since I score them by just playing the game.
Downside is that for the best tactics for my army everything boils down to tabling the opponent to score them all.

>>95927940
This specific model got me into AoS.

>>95928593
Ghb 1 got stale quick, my local group still played plenty of games and tournaments but battle tactics were shit and list building was stale and a lot of people went from having 2 or 3 armies in rotation to playing just 1 and waiting for battlescrolls. Soggy has really boosted our excitement, everything feels wide open right now with lots of potential lists in play. We had 3 ironjawz and 3 skaven armies at our rtt yesterday and they were all very different lists.

>>95928427
I expect what we'll see is a 2nd round of Arcane Journals that actually add a few new models here and there instead of a single resin hero (that you can't buy because it's permanently out of stock) and a bunch of "new units" that are just kitbash suggestions.

>>95928618
have some restraint next time

>>95928285
In a lot of cases it makes more sense to trash said product than sell it for a lower price because you can claim it as losses and write it off on your taxes. It can make more sense financially than fire saleing it.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/eloq521l/sunday-preview-howl-with-the-wolves-of-fenris/
You're fucking kidding me.

>>95928954
Lmao we're so fucking cucked

>>95928954
Meh. I just hope we get a dual release for Khorne and idoneth.

>>95928511
i wonder why some have a hard time with understanding that AoS is Norse, Greek and Eastern Mythology mashed together.

>>95928964
Game is dying.

>>95928972
At this rate it's going to be fucking 4 months between major AoS releases.

>>95928954
>>95928964
>>95928982
We just got Cathay what more do you want? New army every week?

>>95929006
We had the ghb like two weeks ago along with the spearheads, new friend.

Where can I find warscrolls for old forge world monstrous arcanum monsters? Was planning to use the mini in the pic as a Carmine Dragon for my Stormcast army. Have been looking all over internet to find a warscroll but cannot fine one for 4e.

>>95929068
They don't exist. 4e was a redesign of warscrolls so they dropped anything not for sale

>>95929068
I think they’re gone, gone. Maybe check the age of sigmar third or second edition app.

Or wahapedia?

>>95929006
desu, I don't really care about the rest of AoS releases this year at this point. Don't want to start a whole new AoS army for Chorfs, I have KO and IDK but boring tomes and pity heroes elicit no excitement.. So whether they come out next week or next month makes no real difference to me.

>>95929087
Daaamn

>>95929088
Thanks! I found a warscroll for 3e.

https://wahapedia.ru/aos3/factions/stormcast-eternals/Carmine-Dragon

So would a carmine dragons Control be in 4e?

>>95929097
Me too, I am kind of burnt out by the lack of support we have been getting. Maybe ill just jump into 40k to get actual support or give ToW a try.

>>95928511
I think he's referring to why the guzzlers drink alcohol, not suggesting that behemath's vomit is an alcohol joke

>>95928954
They won't be doing anything for the anniversary.

Did they genuinely switch writers between AoS 3e and 4e or something?

>>95929300
Isn’t Matt ward on the team?

I remember you guys telling me it was nothing to worry about when literally 0 new AoS models were shown off at Adepticon.

>>95929310
We have a roadmap for 5× armies so what are you worried about?

>>95929310
keeping the main fantasy models purchasers starved makes them more receptive to impulse buying cathay, and cathay absolutely has to succeed in GW's eyes, prease undelstandu

>>95929016
I think the three things are when a game has a really slow release schedule:

1) There's not a lot to get excited for if you already have a complete army
2) There's not a lot that's going to shift the play experience from where it is right now
3) If you're in a bad spot, there's little hope for relief for you army

I did appreciate everyone getting new options for their army in the month long countdown recently. But whoever is writing rules for AoS 4e, despite having the most freedom of any edition of AoS to write fun and interesting rules, seems to default 90% of the time to "roll a 3+ so you model can suck its own dick". So like even when you're getting some new shit 9/10 chance it doesn't move the needle or even fun to play. I don't really know when this shift happened: it felt like up through 3e armies still got interesting and powerful abilities. Sylvaneth were a blast to play even when they were in the gutter in 3e. Sylvaneth in 4e are miserable.

>>95927990
Very little.

>>95927990
Probably an edition or two. If 5th can’t get us out of the slump that 4th brought us into then there will probably be no 6th

If GW doesn't do anything for the 10 year anniversary I am just gonna start mentally chalking this up as a dead game.

>>95929364
Pity hero but for the game. That is my guess.

>>95929364
commemorative Stormcast model

>ITT

>>95929300
Jervis Johnson retired during 3e

>>95929455
Hard to believe he was the guy keeping interesting AoS rules alive.

>>95929300
Literally yes, The old lead AoS designer retired early in 3E and 4E was written by the new guy who has more of a video game background.

Even Sam Pearson, the guy everyone made fun of for writing shitty tomes is gone now, (he also did Warcry and CoS though, so not all bad) which means all the new 4E rules are written by completely different people compared to earlier editions.

>>95929461
I mean, he was a GW stalwart for many years before AoS. He even wrote the original Blood Bowl. Now we've new blood with no background in Warhammer running things.

>>95929470
Apparently Sam Pearson also designed Spearhead which is kind of crazy considering the average level of his battletome.

>>95929470
Competency crisis hits TT games too. The old guard retire or leave and are replaced by incompetent younger designers. It happened in vidya, hollywood and now it's happening to wargaming.

>>95929470
>>95929482
i guess if you come into GW from a vidya background you might be more interested in getting onto 40k or fantasy which are hotter videogame properties anyway. But dude, being stuck in what feels like a death spiral sucks

>>95929487
I kinda makes sense. Sam was basically brought on originally because of the popularity of his homebrew AoS skirmish rules. So him only being good at writing skirmish size games/rules fits weirdly well.

>>95929526
Yeah, I mean for Spearhead I'd take it all back. It's one of the only actually good small scale wargames variants GW has ever made.

>>95929452
I don't get it...

>>95929470
>got rid of the guy writing 'if you do a backflip wholly within 3" after you've killed an enemy hero, heal 1 wound'
>somehow replaced it with 'if you do a backflip wholly within 3" after you've killed an enemy hero, heal 1 wound on a 3+'
That's a CRAZY monkey's paw

The only hope is to keep Stormcast out of the 5th edition box set...

>new khorne spearhead is 10 fleshhounds, claws of karanark warcry warband and karanak
Actually looks really fun as a spearhead force. I also happen to have all of those models unassembled from years of purchases.
Warcry warbands being included as spearhead forces makes me think Warcry is dead as hell.
Shame since it was GW's best narrative skirmish game.

>>95929461
What's hard to believe about it?

>>95929543
>Newfriend doesn't know about the Polish janny
So pure.

>>95929562
Karanak is one of the ugliest models ever disigned.'
Pose cant be save even with conversion work

>>95929834
Yeah, it looks like a bad bash of STLs

>>95929562
XD le puppers!

>>95929562
Is this warband going to be exclusive to a spearhead with a named hero?

>>95929562
I just noticed their old SC box is gone from their webstore. Dunno when that happened but it had to happen eventually. That box survived through three editions and outlasted every other box of its kind. There's no other way of acquiring its contents directly from GW.

>>95929285
Imagine if we would get updated version of The Realmgate Wars campaign books or even just a re-run of the original books but with fancy covers and shit.

>>95929562
>Actually looks really fun as a spearhead force
No, not really. Flesh Hounds are simply an awful kit. Monopose as fuck, no build variants at all so if you want to run multiple units you either end up with copy-pasted squads or have to do some extensive kitbashing work. I built two sets of them and I won't do it ever again.

Do we have a link to the new ghb?

>>95930175
Could be cool but I can't see that happening.

What's the source of the rumour about Warcry being discontinued? I have seen a few posts mentioning that in /gwsg/ but was given no source.

>>95930229
there's no rumor

that's the thing, there's been nothing for it for a year, no previews, no content, no rumors

>>95930240
Also the Warcry boxes and some related items (terrain and such) have been steadily disappearing from the webstore and the warbands inserted into Spearhead instead.

Sigmar is dead.

The old world is safe. The refugees are doomed.

>>95930328
It's true, many people are saying it.

>>95930229
A new edition is due in August~ if GW stick to the three year pattern but there have no releases for a year, including free WD pity rules conversions for Underworlds Warbands which indicates no one cares about the project
The lead designer and creator of Warcry left GW last year too so I'd argue that's a potential deathknell if no one internally can advocate for it coexisting with UW.
Warcry doesn't exist in physical storefronts. There's no real starter box, just the recycled Underworld sets that aren't full warbands and lack the core rulebook which is questionable.

>>95930422
Also Spearhead now has it's exclusive terrain too which probably indicates that's a short life product now

>>95929961
This but unironically

WIP cathay/lumineth calligrave

>>95930568
Ordered two battalion boxes and the sentinel for Cathay and I’m still not sure if I should go CoS or Lumineth for the army proxy. Either way I am excited.

>>95930591

I think it's a matter of whether you want to focus on it as a human army or the mythical Chinese aspects.

I like all the dynasty warriors shit so Lumineth works better for me, plus I want Miao Ying and she works great as Teclis.

>art of war 40K does ToW/Cathay dedicated video
>gushing over how much they love Cathay and fantasy lore
It’s over. Even competitive 40keks prefer fantasy to AoS.

>>95930591
Fuck it, do both.
30 Wardens/Bladelords split on how you build em OR 30 Steelhelms or other foot unit.
2 Starshard Ballistas or CoS Cannons
10 Dawnriders or Cavaliers
PER BOX. You just need heroes.
Magnetize the sentinel to a 100mm base and it can be an Alarith spirit, 130mm makes it a Mega-gargant you can use the mercenary for with CoS.

>>95930591
Lumineth is probably tricky considering the scale of their range and how little is mapped to Cathay like two variants of cavalry
CoS has so little atm it's less of a stretch

>>95930622
Yeah I was quite surprised by that but I guess Siegler is just really into Cathay.

>>95930229
Same as Underworlds being scraped. Some faggot's ass

>>95930666
Based retard

>>95930069
Weren't all its contents remade? New Libs, new Presecutors, new skull guy

>>95930682
Vandus was exclusive to it

>>95930698
End of edition campaign book, like Gardus and Ionos

>>95929506
It’s not THAT bad right now, is it? Asking as someone who’s thinking of getting back into the fold.

>>95930568
Wrong thread faggot

>>95930568
Looks like shit.

I find it funny how Ionos's dragon goes from a horse with wings to a ridable two story house between the model and art.
Any other example of such scale mismatch?

>>95930815
I think that's just a case of things needing to fit the scale of tabletop. There are lots of big things that are at a weird scale compared to their lore or art representations.
I think the mega gargants and the idoneth turtle come to mind

>>95930815
Look, let’s not get started with marines…

>>95930815
Shalaxi's model is quite a bit taller than Skarbrand's

>>95930175
I'd be down for even just a reprint of some older BL novels

>>95930859
I'd like some new ones. But all the good authors either fuck off or get poached by 40k.

>>95930846
>mega gargants come to mind
Those guys are awkward having wariable size in lore, but 1 tabletop design (well 5 but you know what i mean), so you had art of a REALY big one during Excelsis, but it was refrencing the model and suddenly all the details on him made no sens in the new scale

>>95930871
Id like to write something for bl, but I found the conditionals for the last entry really boring.

Does this guy still have his anime tier attack where he channels all his dead friends to punch billion times and potentually 1-shot anything he fight?

>>95930891
Did anyone here actually write anything for the last contest? If so, who did you write it about?

>>95930852
skarbrand (like every BT) is hunched over quite a bit, same with the blood letters

>>95930905
>Khorne, the god of gamers

>>95930852
I think Khorne's greater demons were redesigned earlier than other 3, so they ended up being midgets

>>95930852
Smolthirster

>>95930900
Yeah

>>95930900
yeah, and he also has a once per battle ability to give half your army reroll charges. he's pretty great, not quite as good as when he had a 4+ ward and was a crazy beatstick, but still a great missile.

also just painting on some eyebrows makes him look far less goofy. idk why they chose not to give him eyebrows in the studio paint job, the eavy metal war on eyebrows marches ever onward i guess

I heard a rumor about a new KO wave this year, anyone know anything about that or is it just gabbagoo?

>>95931054
GW literally told us KO book is coming

>>95931054
I sincerely hope slayers get adopted by khadrons

>>95931063
But thats just the book confirmed?

>>95930955
Such a shame gw are gay britbongs and only make ugly shit for slaanesh when that entire faction should have been coomerbait.

>>95931173
Does it really make sense for this model to be wearing panties

>>95931161
Yes. No idea what's coming with it

>>95931173
Slaanesh should be suggestive and uncomfortable. They're beyond conventional attractiveness.
Slaaneshi corruption is about getting your nerve endings played with directly. It's about looking at a fiend and wondering what that mouth do.

>>95931183
Pussyarmor would indeed not make sense for a slaanesh model, but its from diablo 2 so..

>>95931192
But it would certainly sell models.

I just feel a sense of disgust when looking at the current range. Which is kind of the opposite of tempting you to indulge you most base instincts.

Just got back home, massive tornado cut my cabin trip short. But finally finished getting this guy set up! Got myself a vulture boss using the rest of my bits and an old Chimera I had sitting around!

>>95931054
we've seen a few rumor engines that are 100% KO like a trident.

possible its only a pity hero but they already have so many pity heroes and so few units, its kind of hard to see that happening

>>95931250
They said that about Idoneth.

>>95931241
This actually looks pretty sick, nice work.

What does "soon" even mean?

>>95931287
Within our mortal lifespans

>>95931241
I was just wondering about that model you described the other day, looks awesome man.

>>95931287
The time from when Tomb Kings got retired until the present day, according to some.

>>95931305
Thank you! I was holding off posting things because it looked like ass early on. Kitbashing or model mixing is some of my favorite hobby project stuff.

>>95931287
6+ months, it seems. Remember, IDK and NH were announced in January. Also, NH got pushed back for Khorne and KO.

You guys figure gw will ever let Azyr out of the cuckshed or is it going to be the no fun allowes realm forever ?

Does anyone have the Beastclaw Raiders PDF (Mawtribes Ogors 1 edition)?

>>95931291
>Within our mortal lifespans
Sure...

>>95931391
Eventually, but not any time soon

>>95931287
It means soon. My guess is after the Cathay release we'll get information the week after.

Cathay Calligrave all done, I'm quite happy both with the model and how the paint job came out.

>>95931405
No, but those were the days of actual official pdfs so they should be the easiest to find

>Grand Cathay now officially sold out
When was the last time an AOS box sold out?

>>95931616

Only the battalion box is "temporarily out of stock" everything else is still available.

>>95931616
Bitch we got shit they don't even sell anymore but EVERYBODY desperately still wants to buy it.

>>95931651
Rip anyone who ever wanted Sons of Velmorn

>>95931657
I beleive in an obscure side game repack, like OG skeleton band returing as a new UW starter 5 years later or vampires showing up in a weird "UW bands as Warcry" box set

>>95931657

Got mine for $24 just the other day, quite pþeased about that.

>>95931670
It's funny since I was gonna say "gonna be real underworlds is dead anon" then saw you say Warcry at the end. Yeah I can see it. Or having some warhammer spinoff shit at barnes and noble.

>>95931687
Good deal, I found the Gnarlwood box stashed in a dusty corner of my FLGS around the time the box with Tzeentch vs Stormcast came out. Saw one left and went "shit, last chance probably"

>>95931239
Welcome to the point of Slaanesh. I'm all for T&A but making coomer factions is just retarded. All they need to do is put nudity where it makes sense, such as Slaanesh or DoK or whatever. You think it would sell models but it doesn't. People don't want coom models because you make them look shit if you paint them badly. Lust Elves for Raging Heroes sold like shit. People just look at you weird running coom models.
>b-b-but anime models sell
Yeah they do, because they're big scale, detailed and painted. If you wanna buy a futanari anime girl ejaculating semen from her big erect cock, you can. It's already painted for you and ready to look at, coom models aren't. Slaanesh isn't about coom, it's about excess. It's about fapping over heterosexual porn then going down to darker and darker stuff and needing more to get off. The whole point is they're not 'conventionally attractive' yet people are attracted to them. Because they're supernatural.

>>95931740
Anon UW just had another starter +2 bands wave and a relaunch of 16 old boxes

>>95931173
there's more eroticism in the GW model than the one you posted

>>95931549
What's the mini?

>>95931767
Maybe I'm just bitter as someone who played a dick ton of "1st edition" but the relaunch was kinda shit. They effectively gutted all the cool factor out of so many warbands and a couple handfull of them have yet to be touched since, which is even more silly since all the rules are "online" and GW made the promise of redoing all warbands.

I'll admit, we're getting the new DoK and got the Gits (I'm still convinced the Nurgle and Lizardmen releases were just holdovers they delayed for later from Wintermaw) but I don't see Underworlds in a very happy spot.

>>95931241
Pretty cool convert

>>95931259
that little flared piece between the handle and the business end of a long-handled weapon is pure Kharadron.

>>95931811
It's all the fault of photos replacing art.
That being said promo event cards have art again, so maybe GW knows they fucked up

>>95931796

It's Ling Fu from the current Raging Heroes subscription.

https://www.heroesinfinite.com/

>>95931549
That's some rough stroke order bro

>>95931821
Do we have an updated list of unsolved rumor engines? Didn't a brunch of them get wiped out recently from the Idoneth reveal?

>>95931821
He's not saying that the RE aren't KO, he's saying that it will be a pitty hero.
Which is eh.. give most deepking REs were the huge Incarnate and not the foot hero or named wizard

>>95931832

On the Chinese characters? I'm not surprised, they are my first ever.

Holy shit the box Cathay box sold out in Europe and Japan. Only Australia has boxes left. What a sweep.

>>95931826
Didn't even think to mention that, but it just sucks. The models are still nice but at this point I'm hesitant to touch them since I actually had fun with the old game and don't really have much interest for the new stuff.

>>95931868

I know two people who are using theirs for AoS.
weirdly the fantasy faithful in my area seem uninterested

>>95931854
the strokes go top to bottom or left to right, depending.
Going bottom to top or right to left will always end up looking wrong.

If you look up some Youtubes they'll teach you the basics and you'll get much better looking results just by following the rules of calligraphy

>>95931740
>underworlds
Damn new edition is shit and soulless. At least the community are doing a somewhat good job making fan cards for 1e of the new warbands.

>>95931842
https://warbosskurgan.blogspot.com/p/unsolved-rumour-engines.html

>>95931895

Thanks anon, I'm sure the advice will come in handy as I do more Cathay stuff.

>>95931893
Lots of people must be buying Cathay if it’s sold out everywhere but Australia. Crazy how fantasy has massive demand when they get new minis. GW are so retarded for waiting this long.

>>95931912
Or they made a few boxes.
I wouldn't expect you to grasp the concept of relative numbers

>>95931896
Shit that's not half bad, glad there are still folks holding torches for the old stuff. It had it's issues, there was bloat, it was unbalanced, but I feel like if GW spent some time retouching things instead of destroying the house and moving elsewhere they could have had something nice.

>>95931947
Better get your copy of skaventide. It’s a limited time box and Selling Fast!

>>95931827
Man there are some nice sculpts in there

>>95931912
It happened before, Brettonia was sold out for a while too. The rulebook was sold out for like a month+

>>95931958
Anon you gotta relax, you're gonna pop a blood vessel if you keep shitposting. It's been days.

>>95929331
You mean chinese cities of sigmar?

>>95931908
Huh. Yeah, it looks like most of ours left are probably the Nighthaunt and Kharadron kits

Is this KO?

>>95931993
The trident is definitely Kharadon, MAYBE the drill too, but that's it for KO as far as I can tell.

There's a bunch of stuff that's clearly Votann so dwarf fans will be eating good in general, at least

>>95927897 (OP)
Wish Morathi would make me her puppy

I'm guessing this is FEC given we know the're coming, but looks more Mawtribes flavoured (heh)

>>95932025
Isn’t that a death’s head?

>>95932029
no it's a dead head

>>95932029
It's a brain soup

>>95930904
I had a pretty generic story that’s essentially just a retelling of the story of Theseus but the main character has a really, really, REALLY, bad day. It was a bit edgy.

>>95931893
They're scaled for AoS and have oppressive rules in TOW.
We're too old for even thinking about being that guy, the social/gaming opportunity loss is too high.

>>95932140
Its' fine if your play group is already dominated by Bretonia and Beastmen

>>95932140
They really aren't oppressive at all. Rather mid actually.

>>95932007
Eh I'd guess Genestealers or Votann

>>95932150
Beastmen are mid too. Not bad but both Cathay and beasts are middle of the pack. Bretonnia, Tomb Kings and Vampire counts are the S tier oppressive factions.

>>95932243
Beasts can make a variant of the Vampire scream list using Devolve. No idea if it’s anywhere near as good because it’s too early to tell, but beasts have a lot of potential. People are sleeping on Doombull wizards in Blood Herd too.

>>95931821
That isn't KO. It's the other end of the Alpharius spear (Pale Spear).

If they don’t do something big for the 10 year I am assuming they actually stopped caring. And no a commemorative stormcast model does not count.

>>95932296
No it's not. They look completely different

>>95931759
Also worth noting about the anime figs; people don’t take those out into public for good reason, and they especially don’t play a game with em

>>95932320
Yes that's one end. The other end is the trident. The Pale Spear got broken and some AL dude grabbed most of the parts from an Inquisitor. So it's going to have the trident slapped on one end.

>>95932334
Exactly, I prefer to keep my degenerate Juri-han shit in the privacy of my own home for my friends to laugh at me over. Just as god intended

>>95932339
No, this is the other end

uh why does cathay look better than any aos army? i thought the whole point of aos is that our minis look better?

>>95932346
WE SHALL SEE.

>>95932358
My man you've been patrolling these fucking threads for like a month, piss off.

The Daughters of Khaine tome mentions that there are Melusai beyond the two units we have, and the cauldron Morathi makes the Scathborn in has started producing fucked up monsters.

ngl I would much rather they would expand DoK with that stuff instead of this plotline about breakaway DoK who don't fuck with Morath.

>>95932358
Kairics mog the china man.

>>95932370
It hurts so much that people's entire knowledge of Morathi are from TWWH and not the actual WHFB miniature. I have mine somewhere still... Broken wings I think, but somewhere.

>>95932370
Well they have to get rid of the bikini elves (and likely push them to TOW) and cover them up and the easiest way to do that is just squat them and replace with them 'fucked up' stuff. They already covered them up with the warband.

>>95932380
To be fair the only difference mainly being one has a single exposed nipple, I enjoy metal models too anon but I feel like Morathi's other stuff looks quite nice too despite lacking the bare tiddy.

>>95932369
what are you talking about schizo?
>>95932377
nah the only thing that comes close are soulblight

>>95932419
>what are you talking about schizo?

YOU CAN'T FOOL ME TOW ANON, I KNOW MY RAVINGS TO BE TRUE

>>95932419
Either you’re a twink or you put the average mtg player to shame in the weight department if you can’t appreciate the gains of a kairic.
>>95932391
We haven’t lost the fanatics so I doubt it. I’m pretty sure there were metal witches or whatever too, so the grogs can appreciate that. That being said I’d hope new witch elves would have thigh highs or stockings.

>>95932421
You're wrong im NTA and I have been here much longer than a month

>pornbrained gooner dok player
opinion discarded

>>95932412
Yeah exactly. It's what >>95931759 this guy said. Don't make coom models, but models with an exposed nipple (that makes 'sense') should be done more. The Medusa model stll has exposes breasts but none of the art shows them. But the Fiends have multiple exposed breasts and the art does. I don't understand why the difference. A topless harpy model? That makes sense to me. Making naked models for the sake of naked models is bad. But make it 'make sense' and fine. For example, Wardancers in WHFB, based on Celtic Germans, so you could easily justify them being naked male or female. But having a random woman naked as an Empire general? No.

I wish GW would put more T&A in, or do a range designed for grogs like me who grew up with the odd boob. It won't happen, but I wish it would. Like the Slaanesh mortals, they look great, if we could have just had one with an exposed boob it would have sold the entire thing, instead we get side-boob at best. We know why. It's unlikely to change. But I still wish.

But yeah people think Morathi wasn't exposed.

>>95932467
I get it, I wouldn't mind a bit more tits and ass in Warhammer. Unfortunately I'll be honest It's a hard sell since GW seems to want to play it safe, but I imagine it wouldn't be the worst idea for factions designed around provocative designs.

>>95932454
The faction and characters were designed around being "sexy" and "titilating". Morathi back in WHF was classic evil seductive witch and femme fatale, Witch Elves were all just basically naked blood cult that was all women, pardon the pun but it's in the blood of the faction. Savage amazonian women trope and all that.

>>95932447
Oh okay, carry on then.

>>95932526
yes all that may be true but you started aos only a couple years ago and went straight for dok because your previous hobbies were hentai and gacha games. therefore your opinion is discarded

>>95932536
Wrong anon, I don't own a DoK army dummy. I mean, you're shitposting clearly, but still.

>>95932536
how does one get started in hentai as a hobby

>>95932536
NTA but I started DoK because I played Delves in Fantasy l.

>>95932564
I'm sad we most likely will never get a decent on foot model or otherwise model for Malekith.

>>95932550
You could go to the conventions and collect work from your favorite artists. You could also scan, translate, and/or typeset doujins for foreign audiences.

>>95931868
What the fuck is going on in your life?

>>95932578

At this point I really think Morathi deposing Malekith in the lore is much more likely than Malekith getting his own AoS army and model range.

>>95932579
Shit that's actually good advice, thank you anon. I know there's artists that I'd like to support more and lots of nice people in the art world too so hell yeah. Probably won't be hopping onto another hobby but thank you for the genuinely good advice!

>>95932550
Bitches love smut.

>>95932598
I mean I'd just like to see him at all, or some more armored dark elf shadowy jazz. Even if it just is an addon to DoK and it's a pseudo elf soup with like one half being Shadowy guys and the other half being Bloody girls. (Admittedly that's just Dark Elves, but I feel like it would kind of fit with the duality of the faction)

They could even add to the duality by giving Morathi a giant dick.

>>95932637
>>95932598
>>95932578

Yeah I feel like we won't get a Malekith separate faction. But I could see them being part of DoK. Maybe they will make a lore reason for it... But Morathi already has shadow stuff going on so he will just be treading on what she's already doing

If they're really souping fyreslayers then I dont see why there isnt room for another elf faction in order. Though I wouldnt mind darth vader as being a twist destruction faction.

>>95932646
>I feel like we won't get a Malekith separate faction.
gw likes money, so yeah we will.

>>95932660
yayyyy

>>95932659
>kragnos in an elf army

>>95932673
He was in alarielle once , so same difference.

>>95932660
If it's going to happen it won't be any time soon. The lore situation with Malekith hasn't changed at all since the game launched. Meanwhile Morathi has only become more powerful and important to the plot, and is stepping on Malekith's space by having shadow guys and the loyalty of the Dark Elf remnants in CoS.

>>95932688
His lore is he comfortably controls most of whole ass realm. It hasn't changed since he has no models.

>>95932756
But he does nothing, is barely mentioned

>>95927940
Still don't know what skin tone to pick for my guy.

>>95932949
just cover him in mud and blood

>>95932954
But what if I see the base coat through the mud?

>>95932985
Make them see red.

>>95932998
How'd you know what base I picked?!

>>95931391
It's reserved for a "we ran out of ideas and want to make a sigmar miniature" edition
which might come sooner rather than later

>>95931391
Hopefully with the return of the thunderscorn

>>95931908
Hot take, this is gonna be part of the Nighthaunt guy

>>95933495
Rather it be that than another fucking SBGL thing

>>95933507
The face looks more vampiric, but KoS already does too.
Worst case scenario it's 40k Cringe Lords

>>95933495
It’d be nice. Maybe for fec. Or 5th edition.

>>95933495
It's clearly the elusive attractive female vampire.

>>95931759
Im just daying conventionally attractive models would be more appealing. Like, atleast make them pretty.

>>95931777
Yeah, thats kinda the point. Its not about nudity, its about making hot alluring demonettes and demons that can use their weapons to maximize pain.

>>95931759
>Lust Elves for Raging Heroes sold like shit. People just look at you weird running coom models.
Collecting slaanesh or khainites is already embarrassing and makes people look at you like a weirdo.

>>95933495
its gonna somehow be space marines. probably night lords or some stupid thing. its always god damn space marines

>>95932334
Would you take this out in public?

>>95933495
Nah, that's either a special character to be released at the end of the edition or yet another limited edition fanggot for store anniversaries or warhammer+

>>95933838
That's tame

>>95933527
>Or 5th edition.
No way they'd put REs for it up this early, even if it's 99% SCE vs Death

>>95933847
Yeah, but cringe as hell.

The only cool unit slaanesh has is the mymidesh painbringers and theres 0 skin there.

>>95933797
Kek

>>95932673
Orcs are already elfs

>>95933858
*ahem*
*points to the spider*

>>95933893
Very clearly not a starter box asset

>>95933926
undead spider terrain, trust the plan mi hijo.

>>95932598
They might use Malerion in the DoK schism over Morathi but I doubt it given it's always just "recycle WHFB"

>>95932025
It's a FEC sword not Ogor tho

>>95933956
Oh yeh, i missed that the crossguard is a bone. 1000% FEC then

They fucking lied on the spearheads. They arent keeping the old ones in stock anymore, its all getting replaced with the new ones.

>>95934001
They never said that? You're just presuming because StD got two

>>95934001
But that's not a problem because AoS never sells out anyways right?

>>95934001
i dont think they ever said they were keeping the boxes in perpetuity, but the rules for the old spearheads will remain legal and receive updates when needed

>>95933797
Sexoooo

>>95927897 (OP)
Is it true that Age of Sigmar has seen a decline in popularity?

>>95934039
>>95934035
Slave to darkness kept two, so did...seraphon...and im assuming soulblight will keep the two(?) whenever that comes out. I just genuinely dont understand why some stay and others go. I dont really mind if my factions spearhead comes or goes because its ass all around, but its still shitty.

>>95934001
>>95934052
Which one got replaced?

>>95933893
That was the cancelled Incarnate of Ulgu

>>95934056
The khorne one is the one im seething over in particular, idoneth also lost theirs...as did ogre kingdoms, and ossaira- oh. not that one, but cities did as well.
Im only a bit miffed because they randomly just removed the demon combat patrol and votaan cp as well, out of nowhere, so the spearheads can receive that same treatment too.

GW's lack of communication is so fucking shitty man.

>>95934048
Anecdotal but my LGS has had a big uptick in players and tournament attendance has been up.
The LGS sales figures have it in a healthy place too.

>>95928399
Interesting that you chose 2010 as your cutoff, because 2010 was when Island of Blood came out (and was one of their earliest CADded kits)

>>95934064
>votaan cp
I think they're just short adults

>>95930328
I don't want to admit it desu but the more time passes like this the more i think it's true

>>95934048
Nah it's more popular than ever.

>>95934048
No, yes, ask again later.

>>95934128
Why are ork players like this?

>>95929562
looks like GW is trying to make boxes more for the actual game of spearhead than full scale games. At least they're trying something new but I hope the warcry bros don't get squatted.


>>95929538
>It's one of the only actually good small scale wargames variants GW has ever made.
what about Kill team? I don't disagree with you but I rarely hear bad things about Kill team, warcry, or bloodbowl aside from Waacfaggorty, but that's kind of a moot point since it exists in every game.

>>95930852
you sure that's skarbrand and not a random bloodthirster? Unless this is a fight that occured in WHFB before he got bitchslapped by khorne, shouldn't his wings be all tattered and torn?

>>95933860
>>95933838
I used to think slaanesh was a bit tacky. I know that's the point but I never found it appealing. However the are really starting to grow on me. Myrmidesh painbringers and glutos are starting to grow on me. Seekers are really cool too with their "ironing board with legs" profile and little anteater tongues. Their daemons are 'aight, but their previous codex cover is one of the best I've seen for AoS.

might just buy or print a lord of Hubris to scratch the itch. Such a simple but cool model.

>>95933838
>Would you take this out in public?
yes, absolutely

In my experience, people are so impressed by the paintjob (even if it is relatively shitty) that the character or system is secondary. even just a neat basecoat is enough to impress people who are outsiders to the hobby.

>be me
>coworker is young Korean lady
>fits every stereotype of young 20 something korean women
>follow each other on instragram
>starts liking the blightkings and Kommandos that I post
>she messages me, "Im curious about this character...."

she was talking about pic rel and seems to like nurgle and some of my Kommandos. This is a Korean woman who got her eyes widened and jawline shaved on her 19th birthday. btw My point is that I think the weirdness of the sculpt does not subtract from the technique of the paintjob, but if both are done decently then they are greater than the sum of their parts. Within reason of course. Don't go out showing coworkers and family your coomer nude orc prints.

SCENES FROM A FUTURE AUTOPSY:
>Interviewer:
When did you realise it was a failure?
>Games Workshop Designer:
I would say we always knew Age of Sigmar was *going* to be a failure. You don't write rules that give you a bonus for having a moustache or for [laughs, gestures with hand] bobbing up and down pretending you're riding a horse and expect that to be a success. But it only became clear it was an overwhelming *commercial* failure with the launch of the Skaventide box.
>Interviewer:
It didn't sell?
>Designer:
We sold almost none of what we had made. And it wasn't a matter of overproduction: we knew Age of Sigmar sold at a 1:8 ratio compared to 40k, and we knew we had no Space Marine faction making up 40% - 50% of total sales. We made the right number of copies for the fanbase we believed Age of Sigmar to have and it just did not sell. Nobody bought. Actually, we couldn't even give Skaventide away. The company losses would've been too great. We had to set up these skips, big metal trash bins, and melt down hundreds of boxes every day as "nonviable product". That way we could claw back some of our costs on tax writeoffs.

SCENES FROM A FUTURE AUTOPSY, PART II
>Interviewer:
What are, in your personal opinion, the reasons why the Skaventide product failed?
>Designer:
I think we overestimated the disposable income the Age of Sigmar fanbase had available. They had less money than we thought. The uh, the particular demographic we associated with Age of Sigmar has a lot of outgoing expenses. I don't know too much about this *exactly* but uh... hormones, surgical debt, preventative... there's this preventative medicine you can take for AIDS now... all of these things are quite expensive. And Age of Sigmar was overrepresented among the transgender community. It was the most popular wargame among the transgender community since its inception, we had the stats on that.
>Interviewer:
I see. And what was the result of the Skaventide release?
>Designer:
Well [laughs] we lost a lot of money. But ultimately I do think it was a blessing in disguise. With Skaventide sales so completely in the tank even the corporate office couldn't ignore that Age of Sigmar was a failure. So were able to take the resources being used on Age of Sigmar and reassign them to Grand Cathay, where really they belonged. And that led to the biggest ever army launch of what is now our biggest *ever* game in 2025.

He’s really still at it huh?

Wait it’s still not even sold out, what’s he been going on about then?

>>95934248
>>95934250

At least you remembered to change "Dominion" to "Skaventide" this time.

>>95934266
TOW trannies are as delusional about their game as they are about their gender

>>95934266
It's not sold out on the 20% discount webstores in the UK. Not even with a 20% discount it sold through the small allocation of about 40 battalion boxes a particular and popular shop had. It's successful but not overly so. It will probably justify future new armies though because as much as people say they want the sovl of WHFB back what they really want is new models and a supported game. More models is always a good thing.

>>95934260
That dude is all kinds of unhinged. Writing his own fanficton and revenge story is pathetic and makes me cringe.
He does have quite the determination though. The hate keeps him going I think.

>>95934306
obsessed with TOW as much as you are trannies
get a hobby

>>95934241
>who got her eyes widened and jawline shaved on her 19th birthday
Everything I hear something about korea it sounds more dystopian. What the fuck is going on over there ?
Anyway, nice model anon. I like the shieldbanner

>>95934324
Asians hate being Asian

>>95934248
>>95934250
I really hope this is AI because I don't want to believe autists of this caliber actually post on this board

>>95934324
You should have seen what they're doing in the other Korea

>>95934313
Man I got fucking hyped up for all the new comer models that were gonna flood ebay at like 50% off, now im gonna have to wait for vendors to realize having like 12 battalion boxes in their store is accumulating too much space, and mark them off for the bargain bin.
Oh well. It would be nice if the range did justify kislev getting greenlit, would be interested in a plastic incarnate.

>>95927897 (OP)
there are so many to chose from but pic rel is among the top 5


>>95934324
it's honestly why I like it here. I welcome the culture shock and the spice of it. people here work hard but they play pretty hard too, and when I mean play I don't mean degeneracy, I mean like healthy hobbies and going out to eat unhealthy shit (they all work out hard JUST so they can eat like shit)

she's actually cute though. you can tell when somebody has "the pencil nose" but most people don't go overboard with the work they get done. The only BOGGED people are middle aged women. I know one girl in her mid 30's with the fake boob and a bogged-esque face who works at a plastic surgery clinic.


glad you like the banner, I used a leftover shied and glued it to a spear shaft.

anyway, warhammer age of sigmar

>>95934366
Its a really good and effective model, ill grant it that.

>>95933956
Do FEC have wizards or only priests? aside from the big strigoi vampires, I mean

>>95934241
i think the tacky is kind of the point, its all opulence, hedonism and hubris.

i do think slaanesh players should do less pinks and purples and more golds though

>>95934323
I don't go in their thread, I only see it when they come in here

>>95934396
Kings and regents are wizards, even if they don't look like it.
There was an old art of Ghoul King force lightning-ing a Stormcast

>>95934001
them replacing them with shittier lower value ones like CoS was an easy 100% call. Ironjawz will be next on the too good list.

>>95934266
People actually want thos chink empire shit?

>>95934519
Ironjawz is the new one, old one is the Killaboss on the hyena one

>>95934396
Abhorrants are, so two wizards on foot but both are the big strigoi guys I guess?

>>95934542
gnashtoof is clearly a shitbull

>>95934519
>>95934542
is there ever a time you run 2 megabosses? I am wondering if it's worth getting 2 IJ spearheads if you sell of trade the 2nd megaboss.

>>95934593
Could probably convert it

>>95934001
>>95934519
It's weird which ones they keep and which ones they don't, the old seraphon box is pretty good and it's still there. Is it literally just the the ones they thought were too good of a deal (likes ogres) that they're replacing?

>>95928474
Krondys is the descendant of one of dracothion's godbeast children, it seems like big major godbeasts birth lesser godbeasts who birth progressively more mundane offspring down the family tree until you end up with a normal pig or Kharibdyss. It seems like how the realms work, at the edges they're raw magic, but over time as the influence of other magics seep in they stabilize and become more mundane

>>95934593
Honestly, the Ironjawz stat flattening basically means a Megaboss is just a 2/3rd strength Brute unit that can fight alongside another but lacks the control ability.
Idk if it's worth it but it wouldn't be unreasonable to run a few if you had a bunch of brute units and wanted more brutes.
The issue is they don't do anything and cannot take utility heroes in regiments nor can those utility heroes take them

>>95934704
Well, a Megaboss can take another Megaboss I guess if you don't want zoggrok or an ardboss

I expected a 40k reveal today, but didn't think it'd be another templar. Being a 40k player that doesn't play space marines must be pure suffering.

>>95934778
Pretty much. For all the complaints about Stormcasts, imagine if they literally represented more than 50% of your game's output. Not just Stormcast starter boxes but multiple new stormcast release waves every year. Half the armies in the game are basically just Stormcast subfactions, it would be pure hell.

>>95934778
i personally collect black templars and even i eye rolled at this guy. he's barely even squad leader quality, definitely doesnt look like a character, and we already have multiple chaplains and lieutentants. wholly unnecessary

>>95934778
It’s why I came over to AoS. And then my dumb ass picked Idoneth.

>>95934925
Congrats on being the 1st faction with a dedicated Incarnate.
Nighthaunt still doesn't even have a monster dozen releases later

>>95934847
Yeah at least stormcast are limited to edition launch boxes + accompanying models. I think outside of the first edition vanguard introduction they haven't ever gotten stuff in the middle of an edition (besides underworlds/warcry shit). My heart bleeds for xenos players.

Also doesn't help that, imo, stormcast seem to have a little more variety to them. Marines these days are really all just the same primaris body with some random bits thrown on them, and maybe the occasional vehicle. I still don't really like stormcast but they seem to be somewhat more varied.

Still, I hope they at least TRY to put another army in the launch boxes someday.

>>95934266
It was sold out. They must have restocked.

>>95934306
>>95934313
It’s sold out in Europe and Japan still. North America was sold out for two days. Must have restocked.

Speaking of Cathay, confirmed today that there's no 2nd wave planned for the forseeable future, Miao will just come with the broken out battalion box units and a 2nd Arcane Journal that is mostly lore with a single AoI based around empire mercs.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/rrielj4b/old-world-almanack-grand-cathay-on-the-tabletop/

>>95935003
Also sold out in the UK.

How are we holding up knowing there’s no 10 year anniversary anything planned and the only release all summer is Blades of Khorne in early August?

>>95935003
It takes a bit more than 2 days to restock that shit. Its also still widely available in Europe.
you are so oddly fixated on something that just really doesnt matter man.

>>95935062
Ill move on with my life because GW isnt my personality.

>>95935062
Don't care, we're in the usual post new-edition lull and I don't really care in what order they drop all of their nothing updates leading up to Chorfs.

>>95935088
It sold out in NA in less than 5 minutes and restocked today. That’s the reality. You’re the one who seems invested in pushing a false narrative.

>>95935156

I had ample time to order the longma hero for a kitbash in the middle of work yesterday. Also
>false narrative
you really are invested in this. lmao. It doesnt change the fact GW does not restock product this fast, and even if they did, the "scalpers" would have taken advantage of it already.
At best, its GW trying to stimulate fomo effect.

>>95935186
>fomo
>permanent box
If they wanted to do that they’d write a community article on how it’s Selling Fast! And have whitefang lie about it being the second best selling box of all time again.

>>95934241
She’s trying to hit anon.

>>95935248
>whitefang
You don't even know who said it. Lol

man the 4 or 5 new players drawn in by Cathay are going to have to witness the most embarrassing fanbase imaginable

>>95935248
You dont understand what fomo means anon, I get that. Fomo means the fear of missing out. The fear of not being the first to get the minis out of the box, fear of having to wait for the box sets to be restocked what could potentially be months to years ( seec chaos knights since the start of tenth edition, until recently I guess), and the hope to play with them as soon as you can. Yes, its not a limited box, but gw can capitalize on the fears of their ideal pay piggies in other manners.
You are genuinely mentally ill. Im going to assume you've been in the /twg/ echo chamber too long, I guess that is what the /vg/ threads are for now. Get the help you can anon, dont let a company you even truly recognize take hold over you.

or keep wasting your time on this board, im gonna assume you are already a lost cause.

One starts to wonder why the leaf doesn't just simply play his game instead of spending all his time posting about another one...

Actual new units?

>>95935339
Holy shit it’s not just a fucking hero

DWARFBROS....
WE'RE BACK ?!?

>>95935339
female dwarfs too that look aight

>>95935339
>>95935341
Bahahahhaha black dwarf women ahahahahah

>>95935339
>>95935341
>>95935342
>all the female kharadron apart from the cyborg bitch look awful
>grotesque black female dwarf on the armybook cover
As expected GW

>>95935361
Crazy cause the male dwarfs in both units look great.

>>95935367
Based. The humiliation ritual continues. Can’t wait to hear cope about how actually black dwarfs are totally lore accurate and not part of Anglo religious worship of blacks.

>>95935339
Holy shit, KO just rubbing their dicks all over IDK for not getting actual new units.

Even the terrain piece looks practical instead of a huge pain the ass no one wants to lug to a game.

New hero is cool, the new unit is honestly kinda lowkey just a replacement for the never-worth-it balloon boys and I'm ok with that. Not a flying stand to be seen, either.

>>95935376
I like the diving suit guy and the male hunter dwarves but GW continues to make inexplicable choices.

>>95935386
I am just laughing because it’s obvious DEI mentally ill Anglo worship of blacks. It was when it was CoS, but here the cope was massive about how it’s actually lore accurate. Let’s see how the copers here spin the black dwarfs as being totally lore accurate and not a political statement that shits on lore.

>>95935382
>Holy shit, KO just rubbing their dicks all over IDK for not getting actual new units.
Not really. They’ve been waiting longer and have gotten even less than IDK in the meantime. I’m saying this as an IDK player, too.

>>95935339
Am i blind or is there no front facing picture of the chemist?

>>95935382
Technically they got the same number of kits and units and IDK, just the dual kit is a unit instead of a hero.

Interestingly here's a female KO "gasmask"

Ohhh god. Here come the chuddy-buddies and their buzzword soup. Post your models or fuck off, fags.

>>95935397
KO lore says they can't be black?

why did they make another unit of not skywardens? Isn't there enough in this concept to not be repeating already.

Bahahahah so it begins. That’s right it doesn’t say anywhere dwarfs can’t be black or Asian or Indian or Arab or Polynesian Islanders ahahahahha

>>95935397
why cant they be black?

>>95935421
Look, there's tons of unexplored unit ideas for sky pirate steampunk dwarves. Unlike deep sea Atlantean elves, that's a well dug completely dry.

Retards, Drekki came out years ago

>>95935424
That’s right. You tell that chud. Nowhere does it say dwarfs can’t be Māori or Laotian. Lore accurate bahahahahhahahahahaha

>>95935422
>Polynesian Islanders ahahahahha
Sky Island Polynesian dwarves is actually a great concept

Overall it's cool that we got a lot of new KO elements crammed into a single unit, aka
>new unit fucking finally
>melee focus, but enough models to plausibly pull it off, unlike the balloon boys
>Pirates!
>reduced armor/bare heads/female dwarfs
They're ticking a lot of boxes with one kit, gotta say. I do wish we got an army box though, because I'm inevitably going to want 10 of each build and I don't want to spend $200 on four of the same box.

>>95935414
It looks more like she got a chunk taken out of her head at some point. Best fem dwarf in the preview though, should have put her on the cover.

>>95935421
Skywardens suck because they can't be given elite enough stats to ever justify being a 3 model unit. Also flying stands. As someone who owns a bunch of them I am unironically ok with them being quasi-replaced with a much cooler unit of sky pirates.

>>95935435
Māori sky dwarfs sound great wont lie

You guys are missing the most important design change

CLEAR PLASTIC FLYING STANDS ARE GONE

>the new dwarfs are down on their luck rebellious scavengers with nothing to lose
>so poor they can’t afford ships and have to work as mercs

What did James mean by this?

>>95935461
It means that we are getting negroid Aelves next edition

>>95935442
>melee focus, but enough models to plausibly pull it off, unlike the balloon boys
A unit of 5 with 1w each, good luck with that. These will be specialist crap like globadiers. Even most 10 man direct concept melee infantry is garbage in this game.

>>95935251
we went out twice and we still message each other occasionally but she moved south for grad school for the next year and a half. I actually have a date next month with another girl but maybe in the far future her and I can reconnect and be something more idk. All she does is eat and run and post stuff on instagram. I actually know a lot of girls that I keep semi-regular contact with so it's pretty unpredicatble.

>>95935361
>>95935339
>>95935416
I don't give a fuck about the DEI crap, but the models actually look like ASS.

The character looks like an indescernable mess and the new infantry would unironically look better with flight stands. Instead they gave them those not-flight stand pieces of rubble that just break the cohesion of the model for me. KO should always be helmeted so the female/black lady shit doesn't bother me. They're basically arkonauts with a big marble on their back. they're fine but I would have preferred them on foot or with a flight stand (just make them sturdier)

>>95935452
they could if they wanted to, prosecutors work as 3 models 2 wounds.

>>95935466
>A unit of 5 with 1w each, good luck with that.
Anon Thunderers and Skywardens are already both 2 wounds each, stop pretending you even play KO

I can tell the sculptor was laughing when making this dork

>>95935456
>>95935437
This would actually be a cool way to integrate Fyreslayers and Kharadron together into one culture

>>95935339
Trying too hard to make KO regular dwarfs

>>95935473
thunderers are in power armor, these dudes are arkos. You shant be getting 2 wounds.

>>95935339
i hate diversity

>>95935472
They won't though, because GW won't give them SC stats. I'm not saying it's literally impossible to give Skywardens numbers that work, I'm saying GW will never make them that strong for other reasons.

WE

>>95935494
WUZ

>>95935488
Whatever you say bro.

>>95935493
What's the magic reason why GW won't make Skywardens playable?

>>95935494
Just paint your codex white

>>95929152
Very late, but it should be 5, same as most monsters.

>copy paste assets
>nothing but a combination of existing units
>jarring exposed faces and arms
Disgusting
I like the Null Kheist though, even if I'll just probably convert my own after purchasing just one

>>95935500
The same reason they designed Gitmob as an elite all cav army and then made them all wound on 5s, and the same reason Skywardens have literally never been playable in any edition of the game.

So glad my army doesn’t have any blacks or women lmao
Imagine being a dwarf army and not have a beard front and center on your cover

To all the Ironjawz-bros ITT, how do you guys paint these fuckers? I see some lists where people run like 30 or 40 ardboyz. Usually when I batch paint there comes a point where it becomes fun but so far it's been a real slog, even with contrast paint.

I still need to fix a bunch of errors after I apply the contrast, paint and drybrush the helmets, then wash the yellow parts with dark red then brown, then drybrush the yellow, then drybrush the black lightly, then varnish.

Was my first mistake choose black and yellow? Should I just pick a monochrome scheme?

>Flies into your dudes

>>95935339
>>95935341
>>95935342
surprise new units, look a bit redundant, but add characterful grit to the army

cool hero, and thank god, FINALLY one model with an old diver suit helmet

pretty boring not!spells and scenery, but they'll break the monotony of the army well enough

bot-slop-tier cover art, it even has a yellowed look, absolutely disgusting

somehow it still ends up feeling like a better wave than the one IDK are getting

>>95935492
headswaps are easy, fortunately

the bright side is the fancy squid scar

>>95935468
I like the diving bell nigga. Useful role in the army if he can just delete endless spells too.

>>95935520
Nullstone was introduced as anti-magic in the GHB, so something with particulate pieces of nullstone being anti-magic doesn't bother me.

>>95935509
its easy enough to fix it though
the """female""" dwarves have literally no female features except their masculine faces, easy head swap

>>95935529
Why support forced diversity? Just don't buy shit like this, especially the book being so flagrant and egregious. Spending money on a book with a black dwarf woman on the cover is MTG levels of pathetic. Have some self respect.

>>95935519
The unit should've had similar suits instead of less armour than arkanauts
>XD slayer kharadrons
They better squat Fyreslayers, that's the only excuse for these guys

>pirates, can’t be diverse!

>>95935546
>bare arms
THEY'RE COMPLETELY NAKED AND UNARMORED, MIGHT AS WELL BE SLAYERS

>>95935534
Honestly it doesn't hurt at all to add the options. Someone will surely appreciate it even if I don't personally. I'm only even a little exhausted by the fact that GW will use this as an excuse not to have more bearded head options because they are stingy with their sprue space.

>>95935361
I think they made an error when painting this dude, the beard and moustache look artificial as fuck, as if he's wearing an half mask that covers from the philtrum down

>>95935549

>>95935560
>Honestly it doesn't hurt at all to add the options.
Unless the options come at the cost of not having enough heads to do this >>95935534

I'm assuming there is no more bits, so it's probably 5 bodies an then mixing bits in those pairs

>>95935584
They all have helmeted head options insha'Allah

>>95935586
Will this be a terrain that attacks with drones?

>>95935584
I really like the helmets. Especially the tentacle beard one.

Show me where it says Morathi isn't black. Explicitly.

>>95935586
All faction terrain should’ve been on bases from the start. How the fuck are you supposed to measure “wholly within” on some of these?

>>95935586
>Jew army

Nah

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G35nrStYMY8

>>95935586
That is their Faction terrain i assume?

>>95935584
probably some more heads and weapon options, the usual.
I really like the guys with ropes on the side of their balloons.

Personally i was thinking this

>>95935584
You never know, head options are the easiest thing to add to any kit. Given that almost the only difference is the heads and arms, pretty much it's possible they fit in a few extra heads or helmets.

Nothing stopping you from swapping heads across the two builds in any case.

>>95935586
is that a portable toilet?

>>95935612
BOSS BABY VIBES?!

>>95935584

>>95935615
I feel like people could swap these and Votann heads almost effortlessly. I don’t know if the Ironkyn dome heads would slot in, though.

>>95935605
FACT. This is a strong proud BLACK dwarf woman *raises fist*

>>95935597
she...
>single mom
oh shit

>>95935594
Something like that, feels like it's a sneaky way to add endless spells without them being spells.

>>95935597
She did molest her son…

>>95935568
>as if he's wearing an half mask that covers from the philtrum down
Only other half mask model (that i recall) has a much more obvious divide between the mask and the face

>>95935494

>>95935584
I like the female mask and the one with a lot of hair that flows under her chin like a beard, the other two female heads are atrocious instead

>>95935640
And as we all know, all negresses (or sheboons as I like to call them) are capable of transforming into gigantic monstrous snakewomen.

>>95935665
To be fair, it’s the heavy metal paint job, where they don’t even give them eyebrows.

>>95935584
Odds these were originally intended for Warcry?

I think the pirate guys are like 5/10 great 5/10 goofy, not really a fan of the random terrain as a replacement for flying standards, and I like the bioshock guy. Overall it is really good to get an actual unit and not just a pity hero, the faction needs additional units badly.

>>95935674
A 5 man squad? Fuck no.

>>95935674
Way too many options to be a warcry band, also not enough units (It's 5 models, not 10)

All you sissies triggered by a bit of melanin and estrogen is pretty fucking pathetic.
Just stick beardy heads on them and paint them pale and shut the fuck up.

>>95935670
No, no, my gripes don't come from the paintjob, I assure you

>>95935757
Every fucking time GW paints a model brown you retards come here to piss and cry and vomit all over yourselves, and then everyone who plays the game either doesn't care, uses a different head (which are plentiful) or paints it a different color. literally it doesn't matter at all.

That's a whitey you absolute retards. Look at the corresponding model.
If you're going to bitch about it at least pick the right model to whine about.

>>95935494
Well to be fair at least it makes more sense for KO since they don't live underground but putting this on the cover is still cringe as fuck

Why doesn't GW do the special edition thing for every codex in AoS like they do for 40k and then just get all the malding grogs to pay extra for their bearded dwarf on the cover?

>>95935835
Anon, it's exactly the opposite. I don't give a fuck because I don't make products my identity. I'm not an excitable little girl who discovered politics for the first time in my life.

All nerd hobbies have been dominated by liberals going back literally decades. You can be either be a pitiful fucking spaz about it like you are right now, or you just shrug and enjoy what you enjoy regardless.

It's funny how conservative reactionaries don't and can't create any art or culture of value, and have therefore found themselves beholden to the cultural creations of people who were always against them

>>95936027
What are you talking about? All the concepts being negroided by left wing anglos were made by people you would consider reactionaries. The dwarfs were made by an English Catholic who wanted to create an ethnic mythos. It's left wingers corrupting right wing concepts. As Tolkien stated " Evil cannot create, only corrupt "

As a KO collector they look great, no notes. My only concern is that aren't they a little....redundant with skywardens/riggers? They're like actually just the same exact unit

>>95936058
I suspect they'll be more like jump troops than full flying. So a little less mobile but better at fighting with the larger squad size. In practice they will probably just be better Wardens though.

Haven't seen people talk about the new spearhead yet, might be just me but looks like a pretty strict downgrade from the old one ?

>>95935996
>still crying

>>95936091
Yeah pretty much. They had an opportunity to make an actually good Spearhead with the new units and decided to just make basically the old SC box instead

>>95936052
a) if you transplanted Tolkien to now he would not be a DEI Dronequisitor culture warrior LMAO

2) there are like 5+ degrees of separation between tolkien and "karabong overtoads" he did not create them, 5+ generations of LIBS did

>>95936121
>a) if you transplanted Tolkien to now he would not be a DEI Dronequisitor culture warrior LMAO
No, he'd be considered an extremist reactionary by people like you. For his Catholic views/beliefs and his desire to create an ethnic mythos for a European people (explicitly).
As for 2, yes it's quite corrupted, but they hold many of Tolkiens original traits of dwarfs, but severly corrupted by bankrupt "creatives" who care more for their political ideology than creative a cohesive world/setting/people.

>>95936098
>still defending something he "doesn't care about" for no reason

None of you fags even have models or play games

im simply just going to use my endrin*igger helmets instead on these new models beside the bearded ones

>>95936175
I don't think you're laughing, I think you're dishonestly defending something you recognise it's bad simply because you think it offends those you have been told to reduce to caricatural boogeymen.

>>95936052
The quote is an in-character quite from Frodo and it's:
>“The Shadow that bred them can only mock, it cannot make: not real things of its own. I don't think it gave life to the orcs, it only ruined them and twisted them.”

>>95936091
Still a pretty decent entry point.

>>95935519
Maybe it's just a bad angle. But frankly it's a little hard to tell what's going on here

>>95935933
Kinda decent, but make her blonde or ginger.

>>95936266
And it reflects the theological views that Tolkien crafted his world around, the same theological base of the Catholic worldview. LOTR is a Catholic story in a Catholic setting. Lefties entire " creative " legacy is taking from a person that they would despise if he were alive today

>>95936276
I feel like they have a new photographer or whoever decides on the angle or which picture to publish. It's not the first time it happened recently.

>>95936167
>>95936172
Sometimes it really feels like this general is just towfags shitposting, I can't really blame it for being a deserted wasteland

>>95936276
The "face" doesn't stand out enough from the front. It will probably look better at an angle

>>95936146
So how the hell did you get here, posting in Warhammer threads, if you're just a basic Tolkien fan?

Also no lotr was not an explicit ethnic mythology, actual tolkien scholars -- so, full-fledged human beings, not forum culture war grinders -- would dispute your easy and lazy narrowing of reality

>>95936327
It's been this way for a while. Most of the old posters left for less annoying waters a long time ago.

>>95936328
Probably. A lot of models just don't look right in flat pictures, but are fine when you see them in 3D.

>>95936341
Where did they go though? Reddit and Discord are shitholes and everything else is even more deserted than this place

>>95936286
something something evil can't create only corrupt

>>95936327
Both aos and tow generals are primarily shitposters.

>>95936266
Wow, people who can only mock, and not make??

>LOOK AT DA BLACK WOMANNN!!

>>95936360
I went to /wfg/ for the first time in a while after the Cathay announcement and I was really not expecting it to be as awful as it is. This place is really done, isn't it?

>>95936281
best I can do

>>95936380
Cathay really brings out the culture war tourists. It's usually a bit better, although people still sperg out about perryanon etc.
>>95936382
I actually really don't mind the female models with the braids. It's the ones with short hair that look off to me.

>>95936183
TO THE MOON(S)

>>95936416
Yeah Female Dwarf and short hair are not a thing that should go together. It's fine with male dwarfs, assuming they have beards, but dwarfs lose a lot of character without the hair.

Might finally bite the bullet on finishing my KO army. Just need to put helmets on everyone and paint/model bare skin as clothing and I'll be set.

>>95936382
Sometimes I think I'm insane when I see these models and think they look cool, then I come here and it's spergs going insane about DEI and shit.
Why have these fights here? Why can't we say these look cool? I think these are some of the best KO they ever did, a nice lean into their pirate aspect

>>95936441
Their heads just seem fucked up in size when they don't have hair or bears extending them out, the votann have the same weirdness

>>95936478
I really like some of them others are a bit too goofy for me. not everyone has the same opinion anon, that's life.

>>95936382
I'm sold. That's a good model.

>>95936416
>I actually really don't mind the female models with the braids
It's the same thing I have criticised with votann, dwarf designs work when they have beards or beards analogs, female dwarfs can work the moment their hair becomes the analog for beards on the silhouette and color placement, but the votann gave up on beards to make the heads modular and posable (which is fine, but not that vital) and also gave up beard analogs like tubes or cables or grills in a misguided attempt to make the designs unisex, that's a big mistake.
Like it would be a mistake if kharadrons didn't have fake beards on their helmets.

>>95936478
You're fine, they do look cool. At this point it's all just autism. Either people who see sime shit and have to scream and shitpost until people ignore them, or B autists who like old thing and will just headswap.

I don't understand the rotbrain takes but that's just what happens when you cram a bunch of autistic nerds into a room together.

>>95936478
>Why have these fights here?
It's a swap of color scheme, man.

>>95936382
really good fix

looks like this was right >>95935794

I do think both champion builds, losing the backpack, could be the basis for a million dwarf conversions.

>>95936478
>Why can't we say these look cool?
Because some people find issues with them and want to see those fixed before they can judge if the models look cool to them?

How many rumor engines have been checked off? how many are left?

>>95935625
They could be don’t honestly expect people who bitch this hard about a single model in a unit to actually have enough skill, patience, and love for the game to actually make models their dudes beyond the paint job. Greytide is a thing for a reason

>>95935736
That white man was here meme really has never been wrong

>>95936355
Me personally I just stopped using /tg/ as much in general this boards kinda ass these days

>>95936355
Everywhere else is more deserted because they just perma ban people who critique or bring up stuff like DEI. So it ends up being a small circle jerk dedicating to glazing the latest release which in turn doesn’t attract any new people to those forums. At least people here can criticize GW when they release shit like the KO black woman cover. That’s why this place is relatively lively for an AoS forum.

>>95936702
The idea that you can’t critique AoS models without sounding like Elon musk drunkenly slurring into a mic over his ketamine ravaged body is hilarious. You should try expanding your vocabulary it’s not that hard

>>95936733
You’re right. The dwarfs are black because it’s more lore accurate and not because mentally ill anglos are pushing their political beliefs into the game.

>>95936733
people can, but you're going to lump every critique under the delusion they're all "sounding like Elon musk drunkenly slurring into a mic over his ketamine ravaged body" because you have a politics shaped tumor filtering and guiding all your interactions.

>>95936733
>using terms that GW explicitly uses in their reports is Elon Musk drug ranting
Kek, how do you breathe with your head that deep in the sand?

>>95936702
>Everywhere else is more deserted
Factually untrue, anon. TG as a board is in a death spiral, not those other places.

>>95936781
He said out his own post DEI. Scroll up and you’ll see how many posts talking about the white mans burden, crying about being erased, and cuckoldry. The guy above you is mad that melanin exists in a fantasy setting made by white people and is getting ready to sound like a 18th century phrenologist if I replied to him. For every I don’t like the armor design you had two people crying about dei and anglos

>>95936820
/tg/ died when they killed quests on the board it has quite literally been nothing but downhill since. I’d argue it was already dead and removing quests just forced the board to actually contend with itself and this is the result

You keep sounding more and more deranged, anon, the world is not made of strawmen.

Thinking about the new Pirate KO a bit more, I'm kind of wondering what the point of the sword and pistol guys is going to be, mechanically. (Aesthetically I want to build both, obviously)
>Harpooners look cooler
>Probably better in melee
>described like they have anti-monster bonuses

>>95936898
Yeah man totally strawmen and not me talking about the posts you can literally scroll up and see. You know you don’t get paid for (You)s right?

>>95936841
>For every I don’t like the armor design you had two people crying about dei
Why is it not allowed to dislike DEI?

>>95937027
Did I say it wasn’t allowed or did I say the only way you know how to critique a model being political is funny

>>95936973
Yes, strawmen

insulting people by calling them cucks is not crying about cuckoldry, there's no post about "the white man's burden" or that mentions of erasure, or phrenology

It's post about not liking forced diversity in everything, if you can understand why some people like to be represented you can understand why some people don't like something that doesn't represent them
if you can understand that a kit has limited space on the sprues for bits you can understand why people who don't like these female heads, or in other cases heads with black facial features, feel like the kits lose value to them when they're present

it's not suddenly an invalid criticism because you think anon is like elon musk or whatever, it's a subjective interest
and there's an argument to be made over who actually has the subjective interest regarding these changes, because as far as these threads and many places are concerned it's only ever "I hate it" or "I don't care" or "I can work around it"

This unit looks more like a Warcry warband than a regular army unit. Anyone else get that feeling?

>>95936478
I think you're probably insane.

>>95937121
No I will not take people crying about being cucked because a handful of models in a customizable toy are different because that is retarded. And because I’m not a retard I’m not going to take hobbylets serious when anybody who has done any form of army collecting has left over parts.

Witch elves being replaced by Deicic Deti. They won't be rereleased for TOW either. Buy them now
