What have you worked on this week?

>What have you worked on this week?
On my gobbapallooza

On another note, when are we due for the quarterly update?

>>96185917
I think like, in 6 days? Or am I thinking of 40K?

>tq
assembling orcs.

I am painting skelingtons. And chaos dorfs

>>96185899 (OP)
>TQ
Started my second set of Wardens. I messed up with the primer a little but it's salvageable without stripping and re-priming. Pro Acryl cans are totally worth it, btw.

>>96185899 (OP)
Why do dwarves always make their structures monstrously huge?

>>96185937
yeah, an in person reveal show at a tournament or something?

>>96185899 (OP)
>TQ
No hobbying this week, though while day dreaming at work I've finally come up with some fluff for the soulblight army I wanted to start, so that's nice.
>>96185917
Sick effects dude, wow.

>>96185864
Their lore and concept is pretty cool, they just got shafted with their sculptor the first time around.
New warband looks mostly fine, pic related. Giving them "skirts", and capes on the characters really help their silhouettes.
>>96185962
>I am painting skelingtons. And chaos dorfs
Are you me? Not printing any Chorfs, I'm buying HoH.
But my only AoS purchase since 2nd ed is the Barrow Kingdoms box.

>>96185899 (OP)
I've been converting my privateers into wildecorps hunters. The biggest problem is finding decent proxies for the dogs as they've already crossbows.

>>96185987
Oh I thought you mean like the balance update.

>>96185986
to compensate for their small, tiny, and useless size and also because they are short.

>>96186011
U wot m8?

>>96185986
because if they lived in places proportional to them they wouldn't look like dwarfs

same reason why giants live in claustrophobic places

>>96185993
Great minds like bones and tiny, angry men

Scourge Privateers deserve better

>>96185899 (OP)
>TQ
40k stuff but I will get to my Aggradons soon

When are we going to return to the game actually being good?

We're close

>>96186156
When GW releases an undead gf in 5th edtion

>>96186156
If they ever do one of those community feedback things again everybody needs to write them and tell them to bring the fucking customization back.
The whole point of AoS borrowing 40k's open uncharted world is to allow space for hobbying, so why the fuck are they nerfing our creative scope for /our dudes/ by removing so much items, etc?
They're so afraid of writing broken stuff it's killing some of the things that gave us our best games, and inspired hobbying.
I've seen so many people kitbash their heroes to have specific items from malign sorcery for example.

>>96186190
More than anything I want creation tables to be implemented.

>>96186190
I don't want to sound like a schizo or console warrior but I can't help but wonder if it's because they want TOW to be the game with all of the customization and have a misguided belief that too many options would turn off potential casual players

>>96186179
Lady of All Flesh, mortarch of the looms

zombies, necromancers, Frankenstein monsters, the old dread abyssal, and dark arts fueled gothic mad science to rival clan skryre

pardon the slop

>>96186203
No, it's an obvious sentiment looking at 40k but less a deliberate distinction as much as the specialist team lack the same oversight

>>96186203
Oh my god, that would be awful.
As far as I'm hearing they're doing the same sterilization of that and other creative rules in 40k, and while that stuff is integral to ToW, maybe it actually survives the customization purge because it's a ""specialist game"".

>>96186215
>>96186203
Both can be true, they want to make sure the 'core games' are these strict 'balanced' games (aka soulless) so that new people don't get put off, then the Specialist Teams can do what they like. Our best hope is that someone does some cool Specialist Game for AoS bringing back some of the cool stuff we used to have like Warscroll Battalions and the like.

>>96186156
It will be when GW decides to forget about the crap of The Old World and bring back Warhammer Fantasy

>>96186215
Holy shit, I've never seen this before.
Instantly recognize the art it's based on.
HASHUT HASHUT HASHUT!

>>96186247
It's not about balance, it's about not scaring customers off with big rulebooks or the barest amount of non-accessibility
>what did you mean I have to convert it?

>>96186259
Yes, I know that WF died to make way for AoS, but nothing that a good time travel and an alternate timeline can't fix.

>>96186247
A PtG book could add RoR as battalions tbhon, the system is there.
>here's a tonne of new ones
>also you can take them within the army those units belong to AND you can take more than one
We just need a fleshed out setting (subsection, refined area) with a thematic enhancement list.

>>96186269
Franky it's both but I don't think the casual pandering is intentional, GW have become increasingly tied to the tournament scene and the only real feedback they get is from such.
Spearhead was repeatedly pitched as short COMPETITIVE games. They really can't help themselves now that Jervis and Sam are gone.

>>96186269
this company doesn't even deserve to exist anyway.

>>96186294
like GHBs are inherently anti-casual. Seasonal rules, subverting everything you understood building up to it, etc

It would help alot if the rules were free online directly from gw themselves.

>>96186305
That's 5-8 moulds and they have one guy pouring all that pewter and demoulding/packaging.

>>96186156
I wish they'd stop doing the narrative campaigns at the end of the edition. Feels like shit when the edition launches with new lore and then the entire setting hits pause until we have ~10 months left before the new edition narrative.

>>96186326
please understand our record breaking profits year on year for nine years just weren't enough

>>96186294
>but I don't think the casual pandering is intentional
then you absolutely simply don't think

nobody in the tournament scene is telling anyone to reduce options to what's exactly in the kits

>>96186340
They've never done that?
3e had Thondia which was scrapped after the first book but we already have a campaign book for 4e

>>96186345
tournament players love predictability and balance. Two options for the same points results in the same rhetoric as enhancements "I'm always going to pick the best one so why print the rest?"

>>96186349
I mean the series stuff like Malign Portents, Broken Realms, and Dawnbringers.

>>96186366
Thondia was just that

>>96186361
>I'm always going to pick the best one
You double retard, that's a reason why tourneyfags would never give feedbacks about stuff that isn't the most performing option, they're not the ones asking to remove the other options because to them they already don't exist

>>96186342
I'm unironically assblasted that they went backwards in AoS from free warscrolls for all units to 40K style "Nuh-uh, that's top secret info, buy the battletome scumbag"

>>96186382
You can watch battletome reviews from known play testers who say exactly that

>>96186382
Sort of true, the real Tourneyfag method is to get any option that's halfway decent nerfed into the fucking ground so it never sees play again, at which point they're satisfied because they'll continue playing the best thing and ignoring the graveyard of garbage left in their wake.

>>96186361
yeah that's why tournament players were telling gw to make every ability in the game to activate on a 3+ then.

So, Hashut from AoS was once a dwarf god who was corrupted by chaos, but what a dwarf god he was, because it is clear that his appearance, name and the concepts he represents are due to the corruption of chaos.

>>96186381
Thondia had no story

Gothic frankenstein science sounds neat but the arcwalkers underworlds thing ended up looking like shit so maybe not.
>>96186203
I've heard complaints from our friends over at wfg that they're not really doing conversion friendly warcsrolls anymore in their new releases (well, just cathay so far), so maybe that's just gw policy now. Haven't kept up to date with 30k drama but didn't something similar happen there?
Anyway we can only hope gw turns this stupid no customizatipn ship around.

>>96186417
Nah, not corrupted, but ambitiously using chaos to his egoistical ends.
He might be one of the sons of gazul.

>>96186417
Seeing how he's supposed to be Ghur related maybe he was some kind of beastmaster/farming deity, but instead of taming animals he swaped to binding demons for labour?
Even the cow fits

>>96186436
Fucking retard you didn't read it

>>96186441
TOW still has a lot of units that are basically just suggested kitbashes, so I doubt they're going to crack down on conversions anytime soon.

>>96186451
Granted I didn't watch the stream so I'm only going off second-hand information, but didn't they say that he was kinda prissy he got assigned the ghur-tardwrangling job ? I feel if he was by nature a sort of beastmaster type he wouldn't mind so much, so I assumed he was a very "civilized" type god, yknow classic forges and industry and so forth. Though I guess that clashes a bit with grungni's role in the aos pantheon.

>>96186417
>>96186450
According to the new WD he is an ancestor god, and was apparently the "ascended god" in charge of Ghur, which he resents. (All though he was not in Sigmar's pantheon).
He apparently wants to become an "elemental" chaos god proper. That's something the WD says he covets.
"Ascended" being the term used for "former mortal, now a god", e.g. all the elven gods, Sigmar, Nagash, Grugni/Grimnir. And elemental being the term they use for gods "of the warp", e.g. the 5 chaos gods and Gorkamorka.

>>96186542
You already gave the answers, there can't be two identical gods and since Grungni was more important, the other one was sent somewhere else.

>>96186179
What should happen for GW to make Deadwalkers pirates a thing and another undead army succesful as FeC, Nighthaunt, Soulblight and OBR?

Death is literally carrying this game. And we get Chaos/Order shitters.

>>96186561
Gorkamorka is not supposed to have been the incarnate god of Ghur.

>>96186589
Yeah, apparently not. Only ascended gods can be this it seems.
I'm not claiming he was? Not sure what you mean.

>>96186436
It did and bizarrely it was about Beastmen and Bonesplittaz

>>96186474
>>96186620
People running after a bone dinosaur as retards fight isn't a story.
Compare it to literally any other campaign book

>>96186619
According to what was shown in the end times of WF, the incarnates represented a god and a wind of magic and that was maintained in AoS, so why is Gorkamorka no longer the god in charge of Ghur if he represented it?

>>96185899 (OP)
>TQ
Slowly working my way through cities of cathay while I wait for miao to drop. Might get a second battalion to fill it out, even with the mega gargant sentinel I still don't think I hit 2k pts. Cities units are almost grot cheap on points

>>96186629
>retards fight
Right, please share the secret never before seen Warhammer campaign books that aren't exactly that? You are such a newfag fuck off

>>96186561
I'm confused on how this all ties back to whfb, are they retconning him out of minor chaos god status ? did he ascend back in those days or in the mortal realms. Why did the other ancestor gods think it was a good idea to put a chaos-associated god in charge of a realm. Some anons were speculating this all had something to do with the reason grungni and grimnir were trapped in chains during the age of myth. It's all a bit confusing but ig we'll have to wait until the battletome to clear things up.
>>96186589
>>96186747
That's another thing, I never bothered with the end times but if I understand things correctly grimgor became the incarnate of ghur the same way sigmar became it of azyr, alarielle of ghyran etc. So why does every other "winds of magic incarnate" god resurrect into AoS but him ?

Do Votann heads fit on Kharadron bodies?

>>96186817
because gork and mork are pretty much every incarnation of greenskins to be. To put it in perspective, it would be like if any of the chaos gods ( the big 4) went and popped up.
Also I guess that other goblin dude being forgotten about in the endtimes might have fucked things up, considering he was the herald of mork or whatever I dunno.

>>96186826
how likely is it that another race would develop the same phenotypes as humanity?
not to be a chud, I'd celebrate all black dwarfs as much as all caucasian but this has always bugged my autism

>>96185899 (OP)
>TQ
almost done with some Steelhelms. After that, it's time for ~~~~~magic~~~~~

>>96186826
Yes and no. They're the right size, but the ko bodies sometimes gave ball joint slots, sometimes have flat joint slots, and so on, so you will probably need to trim the ball joint off the votann head, but otherwise it should fit. Probably not the dome visors though

>>96186838
Votann are human clones altered over time and the votann specifically bakes in diversity to reduce genetic vulnerability and flaws

The leagues also intermingle and trade with each other, so a leagues hold or even its warriors at any time may be filled with kyn from other leagues or even just other planets within the same league, as each league is a massive multi solar system empire in and of itself

>>96186629
I never said it was great, but it did have a story

>>96186891
ahh. I totally forgot about that abuhuman thing

>>96186620
Yeah, it clearly built up to the Gavespawn refresh I suppose they scrapped/delayed
Afaik no one has leaked the reasons for the cancellation

>>96186878
hmmmm. I guess I'll just have to see how it goes. I really don't like the Arkanaut Company heads, they're all very samey without being uniform, so I really want to make the Votann heads work.

if you just talk to any local votann player they'll probably have hundreds of heads and they can just give you some

>>96186958
Imagine wasting whatever amount of time writing this absolute slop of a post... Sad if you ask me.

>>96186826
From the looks of things votann heads don't even fit votann bodies.
>>96186934
If they ever refresh beasts (copium) I hope it won't just be "goats and mutations lol". Give me leonine beastmen, rhinos, elephants, fucking sharks or whathaveyou. Don't get me wrong the classic goats and minotaurs aren't bad but the faction had a lot of potential not really realised in the minis.

>>96186817
Grimgor did not become a god, just as Chamon's incarnates did not. The gods who represented him were alive, unlike the elven gods who were destroyed by Slaanesh, so their incarnates became gods.

>>96187023
I don't know man i think the actual Beast were cool just that they assumed was cheaper to send them to the grog gulag than update the range but Goats, Goataurs, Minotaurs and Chaos trolls were pretty rad, not that i don't like your ideas though.

>>96186876
Noice

>>96186589
Yes he is, people are just seeing that Hashut was given dominion over ghur when the ancestor gods divvied the realms up in the time before Sigmar, and deciding that means it’s the exact same thing as alarielle awakening in Ghyran as a god of it.

>>96186542
People talk about that point a lot but it’s crazy no one mentions the way they kept talking about how it was actually fitting in a way, because Hashut has this temper of a raging beast that will not be denied, and his followers trample the earth beneath their feet to shape it as they will. It’s a very thematic connection with Hashut as this untameable god who bows to no one and enforces his will by law of the jungle, and the irony is him being offended by being offered a very fitting thing.

>>96186578
A dead walker centric Death faction seems like the obvious place to go but GW doesn't always do what's obvious.
I wish some sort of werewolf kinda thing was available but they decided to awkwardly smash that into Vampires.
Honestly I would be fine if they left death alone, as far as new factions, and just fleshed out the OBR, FEC, and Nighthaunt

>>96187087
Tbh it’s only awkward because they’ve squatted every vyrkos unit except the named characters and the undead wolves. Having it as one of the sub-flavors of vampire alongside the monster mash guys, knights, and normals is a cool idea, you just actually need to support them with units or customization options for generic stuff

>>96186578
>>96187087
I feel like deadwalkers alone (as a faction) don't really work as ghouls already occupy a very similar thematic design space, they need some other element to make them go in a a bit of different direction. Most obvious suggestion being the pirate theme so we can have !vampirecoast. That being said as much as I would like undead pirates I wish gw would just buckle down and flesg out existing armies for a while, we're back up to 24 armies and that's more than enough for the time being.
>>96187079
Thanks for that quick recap, I actually quite like the whole ironic tantrum quite fun. Very pseudo-mythological, which is something aos should do more of. I mean if you're going to have gods in your setting they should at least play the part.

>>96187023
>dumb looking blobby monster covered in poop and wielding a weapon
Let me guess: FROMslop?

There is a lot of mystery related to hashut if it is true that the guy was a dwarf god who was corrupted by chaos it would make a lot of sense especially if you look at Fantasy it is assumed that in fantasy he was some greater demon who used dwarves to become a god but why only dwarves why not other races that inhabited the dark lands why did he wait for the dwarves, My theory is that the guy was already a dwarf god in Fantasy however due to something still unknown he was completely transformed by the dwarves and sealed in the dark lands and in order not to disappear he would accept the powers of chaos becoming a demon and in AoS for unknown reasons he would be purified of the corruption of chaos and would become a dwarf god again but history would repeat itself and he would become chaos again.

>>96187148
Excuse me, but there is a mistake. I meant to say that it was forgotten by the dwarves and not transformed.
