>Thread Question
Suggest the ideal pity hero for your faction.

>>96054450 (OP)
>TQ
None. If my faction doesn't get a pity hero, then GW has to give them an actual unit instead. The game just doesn't need more "foot hero that buffs a single unit but costs more than the unit itself".

>Sylvaneth

Hot girl riding on a mantis.

>>96054450 (OP)
another priest, but make this one surfing a wave of magma, a 2 chant priest like the runemaster but instead of focusing on support and enhancing the army, he just has raw damage lava hurling prayers. the equivalent of an old bright wizard or something just hucking fireballs. no buffs or support, just 100% offensive damage prayers.

Is it really that much more work to slap together a unit?

>Gitmob
A real Snarlboss. Make the current Rippa's rebox a Runtboss and his retinue Runts. A Runtboss would take MW from other heroes in the same way his Runts do for him. Maybe he'd have poisoned arrows because he didn't earn his position through strength (being a little poorly armoured Grot)
>Kruleboyz
A Hobgrots Pyrotechician/Bombmaster. He could have a horde of grenades to pass around and maybe have attempted to reverse engineer them. Ranged hero who buffs slittas shooting.

>>96054725
They're one of the only units sold as 2x MSU per box, it's so stupid

>>96054536
here is the idea. GW loves their mirrors, and fyreslayers and deepkin have done their fire and water opposing forces thing in the past with one of their box sets, so this guy would be like a fiery mirror of the new deepkin surfing guys.

They're end of edition campaign book fodder.

can't you make these already?

What are the threads' hopes for the chorfs range? Will they beat the previous incarnations?

>>96054611
just buy a high end dinosaur figurine and add some leftover seraphon bits.

>>96055060
i would like to see them lean more into golems, elementals and bulls rather than warmachines and trains. painting cannons and trains is ultra boring

>>96055060
I really liked the forge world designs, with theheavy plate armour and the blank faceplates, I hope they incorporate some elements of that into any new releases

>>96055121
i thought the blank faceplates were entirely the wrong direction. sucked all the personality out of the models

>>96055060
I think they should still lean into the Babylonian styling for the higher level ones while mixing in the “Hellish industry” angle into lower ranking ones. So as to show progression and refinement as a Chuardin masters his craft. This could extend to daemon-machines too. Scrappy piecemeal minor machine goes to big beautiful hell engine monstrosity.

>>96054450 (OP)
>TQ
Give me this dude as a small melee hero, or a named necropolis stalker like Quintus

>>96054631
I know, but if I have to come up with a pity hero I might at least dream of a good one
>>96055060
>>96055143
The faceplates work for the slayer-equivalents but I wouldn't like them to be the core of the range. I'd like a mix of old big hat babylonian stuff and some more brutal industrial, forgeworld + horns of hashut stuff.
I think one of the fluff teases in white dwarf mentioned mountain ziggurats so we'll probably see at least a little bit of babylonian designs.

>>96054450 (OP)
>Ossiarch
Archer/CrossBone hero ideally with a unit of ranged Mortek guard released alongside them. Seeing how military tactics/genius is a strong underlying theme of both Katakros as well as the Ossiarch legions as a whole, at least one ranged hero/unit seems essential.

>>96054524
Does it really need to be "on" a mantis?

>>96055756
Spites are a species that help Sylvaneth out, they're not the same race or melded together

>>96056099
>they're not the same race or melded together
I wasn't suggesting that.
I was suggesting that instead of the bug staying attached to the sylvaneth this time is the sylvaneth having its vines intertwined around the bug.
And the bug just rests its own head over the sylvaneth's like a cool symbiotic helmet.
Helps with magic or dunno seeing the unseen, some shit like that as a fluff excuse.

Too flashy, looks like a special character.

sylv are getting grasshopper cav.

>>96056374
....dont they literally already have that?

>>96056380
no they have dragon flys with dumb looking wings.

>>96056458
not really, they look more like grasshoppers than dragonflies.

>>96056458
also the named character that goes along with that cavalry unit is straight up riding a giant grasshopper.

>>96055121
+1 for blank face plates. Especially the split in the middle ones so it looks like two masks overlaping.

wight lord on foot, maybe a necromancer refresh

So the ogre spearhead replaces the old one with the gluttons/leadbelchers right? I want to pick up two of them for a fantasy army I want to start but idk if I should hurry and grab the old spearheads from my LGS or if they are still in print? Does the new spearhead replace it or are both in print?

>>96056910
replaces, if you want the old spearhead grab it quick.

>>96055606
Would be cool but I think they'd rather just see like 14 models or less on the table for an army that is described as a military force and legions of mortek. Is there even an army with a bigger disconnect?

>>96056910
Replaces like >>96056923 said and the old one is a MUCH better deal so literally grab it now dawg

Any nurgle anons in this thread willing to spill their guts (lol) regarding what makes the army tic? I got a game coming up against them and I have never played them in 4th

>>96056727
You cannot pick the dragonfly with the most thin ass possible and then say that the obvious dragonfly cavalry doesn't look like dragonflies, and then say they look like grasshoppers, of all things, when they don't have the jumping legs, and the fanned wings typical of them.
And belthanos's steed has the most prominent elytra possible and a big horn, you must be a serial contrarian to think it looks anything other than a coleopter.

>>96057196
You trade mournfang for gnoblars between the two sets drama queen, its not much different. Half your arguments are based on doing ugly half ass conversions only you will think look even half acceptable.

>>96057268
> Le UGLY CONVERSIONS!!!
You stupid faggot, it's literally the same bodies. You just place different arms on them (every ogre body was the same shoulder/army connections so any ogre army pieces can go on any ogre body). Tell me you don't know what the fuck you are talking about without saying 'i dont know what I'm talking about.'
> The tyrant BSB conversion
You literally swap a spearhead for one of the multiple spare banners from with the Ogre bull, leadbelchers, or mournfang kit.
Lmao take the L you stupid fag, just pretend it's another cock going up your ass (you seem to like those)

>>96057307
>>96057297
Anyone to watch out for? Any key pieces? Anyone who if you kill their army shuts down?

>>96057222
you cannot pick the dragonfly with the most thick ass possible and then say that the obviously grasshopper cavalry doesnt look like grasshoppers

nevermind the fact that the sylvaneth mounts do not have top mounted omnidirectional wings like dragonflies, but instead have side mounted single directional wings like a grasshopper. they also do not have dragonfly style legs which all are mounted at the front of the thorax, but rather have legs which are mounted at the front and back of the thorax like grasshoppers, and they lack the incredibly oversized compound 360 degree eyes of a dragonfly, having something much more similar to the small sideways facing eyes of a grasshopper.

they also have a large protective shell which their wings folt under, a feature lacked by dragonflies but present among most grasshoppers and have a large prominent forward jutting lower mandible just like grasshoppers, unlike dragonflies which have a smaller mandible that faces inwards towards their thorax and tail where they capture their prey.

I always though this guy was a leafhopper cause the legs are all the same size. I'm not a bug autist tho so I'm sure there's some reason it's definitely not a leaf hopper

sylvaneth needs giant ants.

>>96057820
Nah, ants fucking suck.

>>96057799
looks accurate

>managed to snatch a bunch of Kruleboyz for next to nothing thanks to anons recommending me Stormbringer a few threads ago
This is really neat as a starting point, especially since I have no real reason to make a coherent army so I can just collect neat little dudes. Thanks again anons!

>>96057820
I have no horse in this autism race but the Belthanos guy's mount does remind me of bullet ants (who are some of the nastiest motherfuckers you'll ever meet), at least the lower body/legs

>>96056099
Yeah but what if things were cool

>>96057385
Not really, same strat as any other army. nurgle is just a stat check. Everything has a 5 up ward and spreads disease and is slow. Just pick off the smaller units as you can and if it's a larger model then don't full send against it unless you're absolutely sure you can lift it's fat ass in one go. They don't generally return models or unit outside rally and the guo with daemons, the healing benefits larger models more than smaller. Blight kings are their best tarpit.

>>96057196
in a vacuum is the new spearhead a good deal ? none of the old ones left at my lgs just as i've got the free time to potentially get into a new army.
And are they any fun in spearhead the game mode ?

>>96058423
> Spearhead
No idea I don't play spearhead.
In a vacuum it's better than nothing but the hunter is kinda trash in AoS and TOW. Ironguts are good for both games. The gnoblars are also good for both games, but 12 is too small for TOW (you need 20). You might be able to bulk out the ranks with the spare gnoblars on the Irongut sprues though

>>96058619
Is that the rumour? I could see it considering how little support Ogors have received during the lifespan of AoS.

>>96058717
you could convert it easily if you wanted

>>96058619
If a model exists it will and can and should be looted

>>96058904
>Is that the rumour?
nope, there's no rumor for the removal of ogres yet.
the fact they got an actual unit, on top of multiple pity heroes, underworld bands and scenery pieces, makes them sound safer than all other factions that got squatted, but if they don't get updated by the end of the edition, then their situation could be very dire as well.

>>96058904
I don't think it's been actually rumored but lack of future Ogor rumors + TOW's success in general + Cathay's big successful launch (which Ogres are their closest rival) + beastman getting squatted make it common speculation.

>>96058932
Beastmen got an entirely new model that was around like a year/year and a half before squatting was announced. I don't think those are great signs of staying. Similar to beastmen the cost of new plastic molds for an entire range refresh is high so they might just decide that they're better of relaunching them in TOW

>>96058950
Beastmen were already bloating the chaos sphere. Destruction doesn’t really have much of anything.

>>96058965
GSG is bigger than several entire micro factions combined.

>>96058965
Yeah that's probably the best argument against them leaving, but Destruction feels forgotten about besides Orruks in general.

>>96058904
Not a rumour but I think everyone expects a refresh at some point given Mawtribes have been slowly transitioning to plastic and a core infantry refresh would clear up the range for a TOW version
Ogors are weird because it was a concession that a brand new army in 8th edition would share a body sprue for over half of it. They really stand out with every new kit

>>96058950
I think the support Ogors have gotten is a lot more significant than what the Beastmen got but w/e.
Personally I think they're going to stick with legacy factions staying as legacy factions for the foreseeable future and am not particularly worried.

>>96058950
a pity hero is not a real equivalent to a proper full unit

>>96058904
People have been speculating about that since the beastmen squatting, since they also consist of mostly old fantasy models with only a handful of aos original sculpts (though more than beasts).
Afaik there's nothing really concrete to back it up, people asked whitefang junior, who said he hadn't heard anything of the sort.
So yeah just doomthinking so far but can't blame people for doing so either.

>>96059074
>>96059081
Yeah but it's been how long since then?
Feels like they gave them a shot and since they didn't sell well maybe they haven't really bothered since then.
Could be waiting for a 5e full range refresh but doubt it desu

>>96059348
I just see it as the same hysteria we had about souping for a couple of years after the first soup tomes happened.

When it comes to GW especially "nothing happens" is always the safest guess. It's entirely possible, likely even, that Ogors will stick around in AoS and also not get updated anytime soon.

>>96059418
>Yeah but it's been how long since then?
They got the replacement Gorgers at the end of 3E, (along with a second legal terrain piece) it hasn't been very long at all.

>>96059418
Gorgers were late 2023, that's pretty recent.

> Horde of new glutton and leadbelchers models up against a shield wall of fusiliers and steel helms, with a cannon or two in support
Sounds kino

>>96055060
Id like a mix between some of the older classic big hat designs and the things forgeworld put out, specifically the centaurs and warmachines. A Lammasu is fully mandatory however, its also the kit most likely to be a dual kit with baletaurus

>>96055121
>>96055060
Same, a small part of me hopes for 1:1 infernal guard but that would be better for Old World.
Also I want the 'dreadnought' to the left of the helcannon to happen now, I like the massive face-plate and four-legs.

>>96061991

>>96062169
Mossbarin or whatever

Can someone tell me what were the most hated things about Age of Sigmar when it was released in the distant year of 2015?

>>96062412
That it was new.

>>96062412
>killed the old world
>hamfisted tacky fantasy marines
>no points or real rules
>substantial and absurd change in tone, scale and aesthetics of the fluff and models
>vague and empty worldbuilding

round bases would have one day been considered borderline heretical to suggest for fantasy, but that aspect in particular was quite smoothly accepted, probably because everyone came from the hordes-heavy meta of 8th edition and everyone was somewhat relieved that the game was decreasing the number of models per army, both due to the bases and due to the change in rules and army composition making monsters and monstrous stuff more common

>>96062412
"That stormcast are empty armors and not avergae folks like me i can self insert as."
Yes, it was never true in lore.
Yes, your outrage heavy nerd youtuber unironically thought and said that.
Yes, you got a spam of helmetless models because retards didn't notice you can see there's a guy behind the stormcast mask on basic promo images of them

>>96062440
What are you on about? There were no unit caps back then, you literally could run hundreds of figures per unit and it was all free.

>>96062440
what is interesting is that most of these issues have since been rectified:
stormcasts have been redesigned to be less tacky and their role is less overbearing
the game got more and more in-depth rules
the setting dialed back on the mythical he-man fantasy hyperboles for something a bit more grounded and a bit more gritty
and over time the information about the setting have been piling up and being interconnected to form areas where maps are actually indicative of places, events and things
the only thing left is that it killed the old world, that's ultimately the first and final sin of aos, and not even completely, because the models and rules side of the old world too have been brought back as their own system

so in practice, it's just the end times, not aos

>>96062460
>could
but didn't
noone did, people immediately used wounds as a momentary cap to set up roughly equivalent armies on the table, and the general army composition that resulted wasn't skewed towards an impractical amount of infantry models, in the vast majority of cases

nobody placed 400 models to play again with your 20 infantry models

>>96062474
Sounds like a communication problem on your part

>>96062477
Learn to be responsible for your own downright retarded assumptions.

>>96062455
Funnily enough I think that initial wave of hate was the best thing to happen to stormcasts and the game overall.
I'm glad Stormcast popularity is more in-line with the rest of the factions and not +50% like the marines they were inspired by.

>>96062587
sex with stormcast women
In seriousness though, I do think SCE as they are now are actually a very good addition to the game. Their 3rd and 4th edition models are (mostly) stellar (2nd was good too, the robes really reduced the sense of fatcast, but the thunderstrike armor is just a great improvement), they have good rules and they serve a nice purpose in the narrative as the main military force of Order, the hand that presses the balancing scales in their favor. I actually really like that the war against chaos is more even in AoS than it was in 40k and whfb, where chaos is/was just always stronger, where in AoS its always felt like order has a fighting chance. It's not just stormcast, dawnbringer crusades and morathi's successes also help with that feeling, but SCE are definitely a big part of it.

>>96062622
>SCE as they are now are actually a very good addition to the game
Nah.

>>96062622
>and morathi's successes
Figured it would be a whormcuck.

>>96062504

Beyond irrelevant. GW don't push them for nothing, any lgs I've visited is full of them

Good morning aosg
It's been 10 years since aos and fatcast hit the shelves
What's your favourite model released in the following decade ?

>>96062733
Without a doubt, Katakros. That model alone got me to collect Bonereapers (a decision I've never regretted, the rest of the range is nice too).

>>96062733

What's the general gameplan for SBGL?

>>96062733
It's a hard fucking choice, there's so many cool AoS models. But honestly the most standout one that got me and probably got me to play the game was Big Ush. He's just so god damn cool looking...

>>96063433

>>96063555
Why does every AoR exclude RoR? I don't see how they interact. Like yeah, muh identity but it's already guaranteed even if 400~ pts is a RoR?

>>96063642
No one goes to tournaments anyway. Guess it's a drag if you're really dead set on one and the Warhammer World celebrations forbid it but that's like one day a year

>>96063555
>>96063570
>>96063579
The only downside I see is that you need Kairic acolytes to light objectives on fire so you can't go full chaos cities, otherwise this AoR feels brilliant. Probably terrible, but the idea is cool and you can laugh maniacally and claim you win if you burn down all the terrain. Wish more of the AoRs were like this instead of "buy more of this fucking kit".

>>96063579
Okay now I want other factions to get an AoR that lets them bring units from other CoS or other armies. Give me Namarti for BoK or something.

>>96063695
>NOT legends
probably a mistake

>>96063724
>Namarti for BoK or something
Hell, all the Deepkin are eligible for that, Isharanns less so, but they’re all susceptible to falling to Malachi. There’s a lore blurb about an Akhelian King that fell to Malachi and is all but confirmed to be Khornate now. He disappeared and randomly shows up to kill shit.

>>96063047
I guess they had it queued up for a preorder date that's since been moved. I mean usually these shorts are posted the Friday before preorders go live. So GW might be a week or more behind schedule with respect to AoS.

>>96063734
make the squiggosaur bigger until it's a proper tyrannosquig, so the mod is not just a fantasy version of the 40k model, so that it's not redundant with normal goregruntas, and so it's a proper alternative to the mawkrusha.

>>96063579
>>96063570
>>96063555
Was thinking of doing a nurgle corrupted cities army, but I guess I’ll have to make do with a tzeench one instead

>>96063859
by all accounts a tyrannosquig should have been the centerpiece of a bonesplitters expansion, but the savage orcs dream is dead, may ironjaws pick up the mantles

>>96063721
I had the same issue when it came to skeletons actually
Everywhere I saw was like "here's how you paint gross dark, dirty boney skeletons!" and I was trying to paint sun-bleached ivory so I had to just do whatever the fuck I wanted and try to figure it out (which honestly is the best anyway)
Then Tomb Kings came out, my Deathrattle Skeleton models were now Old World, but I had already painted all my skeletons for Soulblight so I didn't care

>>96063734
Nice 40k model

Uhhh more of this in 4th please

Oh right there's also another episode of debt clearing

Is this the WD with the "Hellsmiths of Hashut" blurb, or is that the next one supposedly?

So I bought the Skaventide box because I wanted the rats. What other rats should I buy to fill out the rest of the army?

>>96063932
if 40k dredged itself out of the shitty launch of 10th, AOS can too. I reckon we're still just getting through the shit show of a "safe" launch.

>4pm in UK
Those lads have clocked out for the day without a peep about the anniversary. I wonder if they’re going to commemorate it during the reveal stream then.

>>96063984
nta, but it is

>>96063990
Depends entirely on what flavour of rat you like honestly, if you want more footsloggers you can get a box or two of stormvermin, maybe even get the other spearhead if you really like clanrats. Stormfiends and/or weapons teams if you like shooting, moulder stuff if you like big monsters. Doomflayers I heard are pretty good. Eshin are supposedly getting some love later on in the eshin so might be worth planning for that if you're a fan of them.
You got tons of options as skaven.

That army of renown is gonna make me buy cities now…

>>96064116
I more and more believe that even the people working on AoS just treat it like a job and don’t care for the game/setting at all.

>>96063555
Did they have any kitbashes for this in the article?

>>96064675
No but there are a couple DoT army showcases

>>96064675
>>96064733

>>96064741
Holy soularoni

>>96064610
wouldn't it look way better to convert the units from different models altogether? cos kits don't look at home next to other tzeentch models even when with an affine colour scheme.

>>96064767
cant really think of other models that would help blend them in really. Better to just greenstuff some flames here and there on the models and maybe the occasional demon bit.

>>96064741
>fixes both Acolytes and Tzaangors
I kneel

I can't believe AoS is fucking cancelled.

Why is fire the blue guy's thing and not the red guy's thing?

>>96065074
fire boils blood so he kinda doesnt like it.

>>96065074
cuz nigga got magic hands and magic is fire

>>96062733
the eidolon of mathlann is one of the greatest models ever put out by gw

>>96062733
Acolytes.

>>96065212
Still wish they'd do a limited rerun of Silver Tower.

>>96065255
They can't let people remember the old models, they must remain hidden.

>edition in the dump
>less popular than fantasy
>completely ignored by GW on 10 year anniversary
It’s over.

>>96062733
My GOAT.

>>96065302
Anon this is the 5th time this week you've posted that AOS is done

I miss Aleguzzlers. 3d6 attacks and drunken stagger were fun.
I'm sure SoB will get a new Mancrusher kit with more dynamic options this edition, so it's not like there'd be crossover.

>>96065340
I wonder if they’re general is too slow or unaccepting of them

>>96065192
it's not actually that great, it's mostly the cape.

>>96065098
>magic is fire
-Grug

>>96065340
No it’s the first time. I was coping about them waiting for the actual birthday but this is it. The day is over in the UK and we have been completely ignored. Not even a fucking warcom article for 10 fucking years. Pathetic.

>>96065255
Was that the only time when we had greater demons with models

>>96065360
>I miss Aleguzzlers
You have a RoR to play a Mancrusher anywhere with some drunk retard flavouing like vomiting on people or picking fights, so is he realy gone?

>>96065372
Anon greater demons had models since before warhammer existed

>>96065386
Holy based, didn't know about that
Shame it's just a single one

>>96065394
Exalted demons I mean. But even then I guess the forge world greater demons were that too in retrospect

>>96065412
Aren't exalted flamers of tzeentch like a nomrla thing?

>>96065255
it would be a weird bundle

>>96065192
>>96065326
Patrician taste. True cythai patriots.
>>96065363
It's the flowing + fish scale armour that makes the model for me. The water cape is just the cherry on top

>>96065470
you're making me want this more anon

>>96065488
Rejecting them is why Spiderfang hasn't gotten anything in 10 years.
Grotfagz chose this

>>96065547
spiderfangs was never going to get anything, the plan always was to kill the forest goblins and have moonclans appropriate the spiders.
still is.

>>96065586
Spiders will be in the silent ones army inshallah

>>96065586
Yeah, Blanche art suggests as much alongside every later BL story depicting them as Moonclan which is too weirdly consistent to not be some setting bible attribute not yet translated to miniatures.
The one big push for a named hero, Zoggrat, has him employing an Arachnarok manned by his shamans who are regular Moonclan too.

>>96065614
Blanche is gone now though so who knows. He did head the art department so it's possible his influence may fall off but it's not like those working under him aren't fans too so

>>96065586
>>96065614
Well no shit they woulnd't keep them dressed in indians in a cave theamed army. The important part of SPIDERfang are the spiders not feathers.
And they clearly wanted more of them at first, with shit like OG dankhold being 8 limbed

>>96065613
wasps =/= spiders

>>96065634
It's interesting that we got snufflers merging the factions with their spider backpacks but squig hoppers lack the same ornamentation, though the boss does have that little decorative spider squig with the moonface

>>96065651
Anon in this very thread you have mentioned who cannot tell the difference between grasshoppers and dragonflies. If it has more than 4 legs, its the same insect.

>>96065646
>The important part of SPIDERfang are the spiders not feathers.
RGW has them as native Americans driven to war because their land is invaded... They've always had strong tribal themed like the malign portents short showing the importance of the matriarchal arachnarok as a totemic figure.
I don't think having regular Moonclan captures the same theme but of course retards don't read or think about visual design

>>96065672
nobody did that

>>96065672
>>96065692
It was last thread and they did say that

>>96063981
yawn, so original

>>96065698
that didn't happen

where can I find the post where "I" said what you think I said? it certainly wasn't in the previous thread it gives zero results for grass. did someone insult you or something, since you're jumping at shadows like that? what are you even mad about? did someone mistake a grasshopper for a dragonfly or a dragonfly for a grasshopper? what's going on in your head man?

>>96063582
fec a bottom seller, ebay is flooded with left over battleforces and army sets, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Now that the dust has settled why did the Gitmob, SBGL and IDK flop?

>>96065878
isn't that because two copies of the start collecting gave you a tournament ready army?

>>96065896
no, those sets are the new models.

>>96065894
Shit rules. Much as people like to pretend otherwise, good rules sell models.

>>96065925
>>96065894
uh oh someones getting bored of their containment general

>>96065894
The game is dying. I fear chaos dwarfs are our end times content push. Less people are playing if you go by tournament results. AoS is actively shrinking in popularity. New releases are flop after flop. It’s not looking good.

>>96065894
How'd they flop?

>>96065929
soulblight is decent, goblins get the worst rules they've ever written again as usual.

>>96065947
Poor sales

>>96065340

>>96065945

>>96065969
GW haven't made a report yet? They came out right after the last financial year's one

>>96065894
SBGL barely got touched, all the new models are just a new name and new model for old stuff. And they still feel not so good compared to even other death factions.

>>96065977
discord said so though
insiders have leaked that it flopped

>>96065988
>discord
Its not too late to quit the HRT anon

Will skaven and vampire counts be freed and return to whfb when AoS is finally given the old yeller treatment?

>>96065988
You got the news from Discord? I just stopped tsking my meds and the voices whispered ethereal knowledge GW will drop aos and perdonally reposess all models and make the old world the new main game but call it Age of Warhammer Fantasy 2.

>>96066003
Yes and GW also lined all AoS minis with trace amounts of lead to poison anyone playing with them.

>>96065992
just because you can't handle the verified FACTS that AoS is dying is no reason to seethe with lowball insults

>>96066003
Vampire counts are almost certainly coming to TOW soon along with dark elves because their ranges have been updated and the 7th edition fantasy stuff is free to go back without ranges clashing. Same with dark elves.

>>96066202
I mean, sure...? What the fuck models would they even lose at this point? All the older models aside form Vargheists have been replaced, Mortarchs can't be removed since Old World is pre-end times and the silly cat skeleton monster things are from End Times.

Evergreen

>>96066316
This is amazing

>>96066313
There's a couple of old fantasy models still floating around, adide from the vargheists and co there's still the old zombie dragon/terrorgheist kit, the mortis engine and variants, hexwraiths, wight king, necromancer, ghouls, cairn wraith, maybe some other stuff that i've missed. I'm sure some of those have even older sculpts they can bring back, but yeah there's still a fair amount of whfb floating around in soulblight, fec and nighthaunt
>>96066316
Lmao

>>96066375
It is funny how widespread across the various factions they are, also you forgot corpse cart! (That's fine, GW does too) But I'd be sad to see Terrorgheist go but admittedly I imagine it could just get a new sculpt (I'd love if GW was based enough to do another duo sculpt with vampire lord and ghoul king and head swap for ZD but that's never gonna happen in a million years after the new lamer one came out)

>>96066391
Spirit hosts too, although I think that's an end times model.
As for the terrorgheist, I do think unfortunately the most likely option is that they just refresh the terrorgheist and drop the zombie dragon from the fec range.
Shame that the new zombie dragon didn't come with a generic vampire lord option. I know I can just convert and run as vhordrai, but still.

>>96066531
I really don't like the new ZD bit, the thing that really pisses me off is increasing the base size. Like, what the fuck man.

Also dropping cursed city stuff is fucking lame, they already neutered most of it why even pretend like it's gonna last.

>>96066548
Im still coping that they'll bring back the cursed city stuff like they did for blackstone in 40k

>>96066567
We do what we must anon.

>>96066548
weird decisions with soulblight, like dropping the very new very good looking cado and wight king on steed models too.

>>96066567
They already did

>>96066548
I personally absolutely love everything about the new zd (except the price) but it's quite a departure from the old one so I can understand why you wouldn't like him. The base size shit just sucks yeah.
>>96066629
I'm convinced that model was created solely to move old black knight stock. Looks great too but a lot more classic gothic, compared to the bronze age warlord look the new king on steed has, which also meshes better with the footskellies. Still a weird decision though.

>>96066650
The expansions only had one limited run of production which is obviously bungled because we know it was supposed to include miniatures

>>96066777
They re-released the box year or two after the initial limited run

Updated roadmap when

>>96066707
I'm sure I'd love the model if I actually saw it up close since the old one is jag as fuck (having put together 2 and painted them this year. But the base change and lack of duo-kit really killed my excitement. Price too obviously but we're still not in GSG territory yet.

>>96065861
Holy shit THANK YOU.

>>96066629
'cado on the 'log

>>96066824
What's to update? Everything that matters is already on the roadmap.

>>96066707
They're not bronze age, they're slavic themed. The boxed game that introduced the look has vodkapunk written all over it.

>>96067129
There's nothing russian about the barrow guard, they didn't even use plate armor. CC is romanian themed anyway obviously.

>>96065326
damn this nigga looking fly

>>96067073
>6 colors of the same models
>2 colors of the same models
Truly the 41st millennium is GRIM

>>96067129
The skellies and cursed city as a whole have a definite eastern european design, but the wight king/lord have bronze age barrow burial written all over it

Would you guys rather have the warforger and a reinforced unit of index cav or a battlemage and a reinforced unit of ghyran cav?

>>96067200
>CC is romanian themed anyway obviously.
Then why doesn't anyone have an acordeon?

>>96066824
Current roadmap probably covers the rest of the year. ko and khorne will be here very soon like 5 weeks or less, not a giga brain prediction but some people have gotten advanced copies already.

I could see fec and NH dropping in September and August with chorfs in October. Then nothing besides battleforce until January.

>>96065984
NH is the only death factions that feels fun and resembles 3e. fec is close but it's absolutely disgusting how ushoran and morbhegs carry the army.

Sbgl is just so smooth brained there's nothing exciting about it. I miss deathrattle coming in 30, as well as fun combos that buffed your shit stack units. They caved in the necromancers skull for zero fucking reason and that kinda broke me on wanting to play again.

Obr is even more fucked somehow. the sog update convinced me the writer is sub 100 IQ.

>>96062733
Love this hoe

Games workshop may not have cared enough to say it, but as a towchad I will. Happy 10th birthday!

How many wardens does a Lumineth army need?

I ask because I'm proxying Cathay as Lumineth and need to know how many shield dudes vs 2 hander guys to build.

Is 40 wardens and 20 stoneguard/bladelords the right amount? (I'll be using the 2 handed weapon guys as either elite infantry type depending on list)

>>96068190
Currently, not many. People like running Bladelords because they're more wound dense, higher damage, and more durable. Just flat better, really. Not to mention the perfect strike ability.

>>96068320

I see, thank you anon.

>>96068392
No problem. For the record, you should make SOME Wardens because who knows when you'd want to splash some into your list. I'd say maybe 20? Definitely look at tourney lists to get an idea of what kind of a range you're aiming for. I've also heard of some Alarith spam lists just rocking people, too.

>>96068402

Thanks again, guess I'll build 20 shield guys and 40 2handers.

>>96067979
You can still buff dogs to the moon. The 10 worthless skeletons for 100 points does suck though.

>>96067456
How'd they paint that barding? Bright Silver then Skeleton Hoard wash?

Why did GW not give us any celebration news today? Is the game system being abandoned?

>>96069268

>>96069386
go into the past /hh/ threads and figure it out with a quick skim

>>96069207
Probably that oxide GW paint over a brass, that’s how they’ve tended to do it before. I’m sure there’s some official paint tutorial on the new soulblight stuff somewhere, though

>>96069268
Probably because it’s an awkward day for warcom’s posting schedule and the stream this week is the big anniversary event, I guess. I imagine we’ll get fluff articles about aos’ history over the week as part of the leadup to it

>>96069592
Given he mentioned the metallic and colored paints when talking about the barding I'd imagine he meant the base gold/brass and not which oxide paint gw chose.

Dead game. Dead general.

>>96070279
I’m too busy fucking writing a book. Fuck off.

>>96067885

>>96067885
pretty sure a liberator would fuck this guy up, and his son.

>>96070368
Which one is the son?

>>96069386
They're getting the AoS treatment

>>96070447
isn't that just 40k

>>96070490
AoS got the 40k treatment which is now the AoS treatment. When it happens to TOW it'll be the HH treatment.

>>96070589
Understandable

>>96070635
Helsmiths of hashut sounds about right.

>>96070709
It could just be Hashut Helsmiths to fuck with the people that play both AoS and HH.

are these things meant to "knuckle"walk? their legs look ridiculously small

>>96070796
I dunno but I love them.

>>96070796
They have a balast on their back, so i don't think they're supposed to lean foreward

>>96070796
Probably yes, maybe his walk is like the apes and when he attacks he stands on two legs and supports himself with his tail but the real question should be why he has an unfortunate skeleton of a penis

Ratmen of Skavor when?

>>96070897
Skeletone does the paper work

>>96070900
The name Skaven sells, any other name they give it doesn't

Does anyone know why in the 3rd edition we had a semi-divine centaur as the main enemy and not Gorkamorka? The guy is the patron god of Ghur. He should have been the main enemy and not a horse-like furry that came out of nowhere.

>>96070951
Because Gorkamorka coming back is the end goal for the Ironjaw plotline.
And he's not even evil.

>>96070895
the arms look long enough to touch the ground without significant leaning, especially if the legs bend a little

>>96070900
skavor is not the horned rat
skavor was an ancestor god, while the horned rat is an elemental god
if skavor was involved in the making of the skaven, then he must have long since let them run beyond his control
maybe he was the stranger that arrived at tylos and the creation of the skaven was an act of pure spite rather than an attempt to gain power

>>96071035
Imo no, but even if he could reach the ground with his clubs doing so without leaning foreweard wold be rather pointless for locomotion

>>96071081
have you missed the rest of the arm is raised too? >>96070796

>>96070973
>coming back
Where is he ? Is this a grimnir situation ?

>>96070796
Mine does but they're not really supposed to.
The short stubby legs are because they have to carry a lot of spare parts and just walk around the battlefield grabbing stuff, so no need for speed

>>96070796
No need to walk when you never leave the shelf.

>>96071195
>Where is he ?
In the wind, in the roar of the beast, in the heart of every orruk.
But he used to like, walk around and punch stuff back in the day

>>96071195
He's an elemental god, the first and last waaagh. I think the greatest waaagh would summon him from the willpower of all destruction combined
