>Thread question:
Do you run a giant in your army?

>>96277409 (OP)
Never realized how big Archaon is

>>96277409 (OP)
Honestly the most impressive part of this is how big Nagash and Archy are despite being far less expensive

>>96277424
Megagargants are inflated by the alternative build options, really a waste, would be better if they were sold as separate sprues, or atleast devided into two different kits, maybe then they wouldnt have to all have the same leg pose

>Alternative tq
If gw charged (you) with coming up with an impractically big fuck off forgeworld-tier model (dread saurian, landship, vorgaroth, ...) for your faction, what would you suggest ?

>>96277428
Krundhal-class ship, no contest, its perfect for a gigantic piece of resin noone is going to buy like manta or the imperial titans

>>96277428
Super Mega Gargant.

>alternative alternative TQ
would you run a Super Mega Gargant in your army?

>>96277438
forgot pic

>>96277409 (OP)
>TQ
Grabbing a Cathayan Sentinel to run as a Mega in my Cities army is an idea that I haven't been able to get out of my head

>>96277445
this pic also has it, as the background

>>96277425
Someone calculated that a more expensive box with options is more profitable than several optionless boxes.
Might be storage, might be the fact customers are more likley to get "it goes into EVERY army" centerpiece

>>96277456
Kind of makes sense desu, most people will only buy one, so its a non-issue

>>96277456
Also, would be nice to find somone on ebay to sell the base body sprues, so you can get the whole set with 1 box and 3 ebay sprues

>>96277448
No reason you can't, it's cheaper and around the same size.

>>96277470
The kit has like 2 poses and no real way to make them portray the specific SoB models.

>>96277440
>"super mega"
>posts a Mancrusher sidekick to the actual Mega

>>96277484
What exactly is the problem? Theres exactly 1 type of gargant Order factions can take

>>96277484
Anon >>96277491 is right. Lack of options is only an issue if you run him as a full SoB army proxy, not a 1 off mercenary proxy

>>96277500
A full army of Mega Gargants is like 5 guys and even the official model is just variants of guy with club. Using other models would make telling the different units apart easier, not harder

>>96277409 (OP)
Now compare to the Sentinel of GRAND CATHAY

>>96277484
> As opposed to the exact same torso and legs for all the normal Shits of Behemet
Lmao. The sentinel looks a million times better than retarded looking English giants

>>96277513
fleshy models >>> pseudo robots every time desu
The legs are the only part that looks the same on gargants really

>>96277428
God Beast skull siege crawler for OBR. It carries a 20 man unit of mortek or reinforced stalker unit to disgorge into the walls after breaching.

>>96277448
It’s not very fun to build

>>96277450
these dinky little blimps are so stupid. there's barely any room for their massive flotation packs let alone all the dwarves and weapons

>>96277448
It's a lot of fun to paint and the price is right. Only thing I would say is that it's a bit of a bear to put together, people aren't exaggerating about the difficulty of the build.

Rest of the cathay stuff was easy to put together though

I know it doesn't look like it right now but I promise you, Barak-Urbaz will rise again.

>>96277513
Just being devil's advocate. The sentinel looks much better but it would be confusing if you tried to represent every giant with them.

>>96277522
> Just the torso
> And the legs
> And the arms
> And the heads (no one tells the heads apart besides the one with the hood)
Lmao at your shit looking army. No one knows what the fuck any of them look like, people just ask 'which is Brodd' and 'which has the best rend'

>>96277530
Holy shit did it actually fell on the ground?

>>96277530
>Another awesome setting for a warhammer quest game that wont be used

>>96277537
You might be blind

>>96277530
GW have been cutthroat ever since detaching rules from fluff. Rumour has it most of the cities are getting wiped out

>>96277539
You can see it on the map there. It's in Ayadah marked "Wreck of Barak-Urbaz". It's overrun by skaven now (and Skragrott's gits are over in the east) but I'm telling you, they're gonna bounce back from this.

>>96277558
>they're gonna bounce back from this.
Very SHORTSIGHTED of them to not put a trampoline under the city, so it bounces back automatically

>>96277558
This is why you make your own dudes.

>Order some paint from GW
>Arrives in the mail
>One of the pots is partially open, paint all over the inside of the bag
This ever happen to you? How the hell does one of these pots even get pried open during shipment like that?

>>96277558
I don't think cities bounce, chief

>>96277530
Should have invested in Barak-Nar.

>>96277586
All the people from the city fly, so when you average it out it's almost a bounce

>>96277583
>Order some paint from GW
That's really dumb

>>96277608
Look, I was getting a WH+ model and had free shipping, so I got a few things.

>>96277624
Even worse

>>96277530

>>96277669
I wish we had some critters/beasts, especially with the recent falconer. Just give us the Cursed City rats and bats ffs

>>96277669
Post bussy first

>>96277669
I have no ghoul models

>>96277681
I unfortunately cannot give you what you seek friend, but what I can tell you is that the falconer is well renowned in the kingdoms, his falcon graces himself and his allies the ability to strip an enemy of their protective wards. There are also rumors that he greatly enjoys the company of serfs...

har kuronsisters, how do you maintain erectile function on hrt? I would struggle to discipline captive males as is :( Morathi would not be pleased

>>96277681

Actually a great idea, a skull battering ram could be a good addition to obr in general.
>>96277530
Pretty cool art!

>>96277789
Not a fan of the strange coloured ons, but the hooded Brodd is 10/10

>>96277409 (OP)
I'd like a giant artillery ghoul. Have an abberant or other leader-ghoul riding on its head/shoulder calling the shots, and give it just a massive single-shot cannon. Im beyond sick of mandatory centerpiece models, if i have to have one give me something that will remove 800pts from both our armies on turn 1

>>96277801
Thank you! Took awhile to get it right, but I really liked the idea of Brodd as a world wanderer (also liked the idea of a massive fuckoff axe)

>>96277530
>fluff underscores the loss of Barak-Urbaz's Codewrights, said to have been the best in the skies

>>96277944
A megalodon shark the size of KO ship?
Why not a whale with an entire coral reef on its back or a nautilus weapons platform?

>>96277828
The prestigious Lord Ushoran himself! It has become known across the kingdoms that Ushoran has taken a more proactive stance, no longer does he encourage the defending of the realms nor host feeding frenzies across the battlefield, but instead he does his best to manage his kingdom's delusions. Fear not, he is still mostly the ushoran you love and know, with the exact same ability to inspire chaos in the enemy ranks through his sorceries, as well as dull his enemies agility when he enters the fray.

>>96277818
That saddens me to hear, perhaps the Cardinal can attend to your confession? He has many great new sermons, including an oration that inspires nobles to fortify the impact of their hits causing more damage, and when his sermon reaches it's peak, it can reinvigorate nobles to attack again! Hearkens back to the days of old when many feeding frenzies happened at the flick of a command from a Noble.

>>96277995
I like when I use Ushoran's funny spell to have a guys verminlord murder his subordinates. I am sad that the original way I read it was the whole unit attacks but it was just a singular weapon. (That poor new guy I tabled because neither of us can read properly)

>>96277935
That'd be cool, but I thought horses were the designated river æælemental spirits

>>96277935
I do enjoy the warhammer elementals. Holy shit a fucking Chamon elemental that's just a giant mech!

>>96277965
>>96277970
Diresharks are a thing in Ghur. Callis and Toll fought one. There are Mega Orcas though.

>>96277964
Idoneth really do have an insanely wide portfolio of options they could pull sculpt ideas from for how narrow and one-dimensional their actual models are

>>96278015
This thread speculated about elephants when a bit of fluff mentioned river pachiderms revered by the lumineth

but so far if the lumineth temples have 2 things in common, are that they are all mammals, all with either natural or added horns, and utterly unpredictable

>>96278115
Still I believe the mountain cow can't possibly be the only one with natural horns, while all the others have added horns, otherwise why make the horns a recurring element in the first place? which to me speaks of the zenith temple as necessarily being an animal with horns

>>96278034
The rumor is IDK were a former sculptor per project and after he left they stopped giving a fuck

i wish they would stop inserting females into armies that should just be comprised of males

>>96277935
londener detected

>>96278126
Zenith is confirmed owl until GW randomly throws away all the foreshadowing.
I guess horned owls are technically a thing

>>96278138
Where’d you hear that? And if it’s true I wonder if it’s the guy with the big 3x Eidolon. God I wish I could have one of those.

>>96278154
The elephant isn't associated with Islam anon
London is filled with Pakis, not Indians

>>96278168
Paki-DERMS?

>>96278168
pakis are indians though

>>96278159
I think I read it HERE bro
And yeah they have the files they just ask the prototype dudes to print it at 3x scale

>>96278115
>>96278126
These little doodles are really fun, are there more of these? Hippos or elephant would be a cool elemental animal, elephants maybe moreso.
>>96278159
That is fucking great, I want it stat.

>>96278175
Pakis don't give a fuck about Hindu shit, they are too busy getting killed by Indians in India or on the border

>>96278159
Comically oversized Eidelon is kino, but i wonder why exactly was it made?
Surely employees can't just make themselves whatever model they want for office decoration?

>>96278138
Most of the 1e armies were pet projects that artists wanted to explore but fb being fb didn’t let them see it out,

>>96278187
>I think I read it HERE bro
Pretty safe to disregard it then, imo.
>>96278196
It’s a part of the sculpting process. I don’t remember exactly why, but maybe it’s for ensuring detail integrity, but the big one is printed first and then it just gets scaled down to the actual mini’s size.

>>96278196
Gw probably has some top of the line 3d printers they use to test out kits before turning them into moulds, not out of question that they goof around with sizes sometimes

>>96277964
I can see it.

>>96278196
It's all 3d printed, just scale that shit up

there isnt enough implied rape in aos

This BoK battletome is kinda gay.

I wanna see this made, no matter how impractical it is.
My other army is Barrow Kingdoms SBGL, and I kinda wanna see a mini for the Royal Crypt, even if the AoR sucks.
Also, I don't play Tzeentch, but looking at the existing concept art I wanna see a fucking silver tower.
Would be absolutely kino.

>>96277530

>>96278254
The AoR is extremely based the rest of it is gray tasteless sludge like all the other 4.0 BT

>>96278196
>but i wonder why exactly was it made?
plastic kits require(d?) the model to be sculpted in a 3up version before making the moulds

I have long held the suspicion that the aracnarok was produced solely because someone at the studio fell in love with the 3up version of the plastic spider riders, so much so one such upscaled spider was converted into a custom unit, and fielded in a battle report not too far ahead of the reveal of the arcanarok kit

>>96278303
You look like smudged dogshite.
It is no hand painted armybook art of yesteryear though, that's for sure.

>>96278335
To tell you how to theme the battlefield. Honestly I don't know, I guess there might have been a though to say 'shit can't come on from this board edge' but then they just said fuck it.
Whatever. The detonation thing is sweet, it's a cool old school mission as opposed to 'StAnD oN lE CiRcLe, ScOrE lE BaTtLe tAcTiCs' matched play slop
> But le balance!!!
What faggot 40k rapefugees in AoS don't understand is that these scenarios are designed to play twice. One person plays as the path breaker, then you switch. You both try to win the mission, see if either could do it, who did it faster, etc. This concept is lost on the ITC/ETC FAGGOTS who now infest every GW game

>>96278321
t.greytide shitter

not really feeling the chaos dwarf designs

>>96278360
That sounds fun, I'll be honest that was probably the most depressing thing about starting AoS for me was seeing all the objectives and missions just kinda being "stand on X spot" I realize you can't balance it around killing everyone because then super murder factions would just rule the day but holy fuck.

I wish I could get more people to come over to my apartment, I have all this neat terrain, a bigass table, I just wanna play kinda fast and loose and for funsies ya know?

>>96278365
The infantry are fine, the centaurs are alright, the hobgoblins are fine, the heroes are fine, the artillery suck, the bullnought sucks.
Nothing really WOWs me but if it works for chorfers or other people, good on them

>>96278360
Honestly, GW should just straight up copy Battleplan generator from Warcry, fighting a big ass worm that comes out from random points on the map, or the one with wild seraphon NPCs are fun as fuck

>>96278315
Why would he paint the prototypes he sculpted?

those ARE the prototypes for the injection moulding

>>96278399
Skill issue. Only real offenders are Grims and Blades looking like a dual kit

>>96278399
I mean the gimmick is torture and bedsheet ghosts. I feel like it'd be hard to really give them something unique without having it feel completely out of place! They have a wide enough variety in weapons and some different types of ghosts though!

>>96278408
anon, injection moulding tooling doesn't happen with completed built models you fucking tool

>>96278418
kisses you on your hot mouth

>>96278408
Why would they need to print them bigger for injection moulding? Arent those moulds milled out of metal, using the exact same files as the ones printed on a 3d printer? They are definetly not making a mould from a 3d printedmodel thats for sure

>>96278389
> Le HECKIN SCULPTED FIRE I CAN CONTRAST
Anon I'm sorry but your shit taste is terminal. You can't recover.

>>96278159
The only way this whole "3x the size print" makes sense in my head is if they use it to show it to managment and engineers better

>>96278391
Shit yeah that's a bit of a drive for me (East Coast). But congrats on living in a non shit state.

>>96278432
originally you would sculpt at 3x for computer scans to retain detail. It serves no purpose with CAD, so it's a display piece

>>96278432
Also they could paint them with exponentially more detail easier! THINK ABOUT IT ANON, 'Eavy metal doesn't even have to try!

>>96278437
Cowabummer, but maybe I'll convince my friend to finally play. I've got extra armys he just keeps asking me to make the list for him. But good to hear I'm not in a shit state at least.

>ghostly dragons and shit

>>96278421
it used to start from there >>96278324

>>96278498
Those are all actually really fun ideas, we even had stormcast as a ghost thingy in Soul Wars. I just feel like GW doesn't release much for the newer factions in most cases. It's weird, the games been out for 10 years but it feels like GW has just been catching up and removing the old shit and finally now is starting to try new shit again. But I'm probably just being too doomery.

>>96278440
>It serves no purpose with CAD
You would think so, but it was still done even with cad.

>>96278324
how do they go from this to sprues? wouldn't they all be chopped up unless this is the reference one for the various brutalised versions?

>>96278431
>he's scared of fire on dawi ZHARR models
lmao

>>96278522
The issue is that, at its heart, AoS is corpo designed souless slop.
The writers, rule guys, designers, they have all done a lot to make it LESS of that, there have even been patches of genuine brilliance (FEC fluff, some truly exceptional models). But at its core, AoS was built as corpo slop, with suits and accountants saying 'this game will only have XX new armies, new armies will only be allocated XX sprues, your rule book will only be XX pages, X of XX pages must be allocated to Heavy Metal army pics, etc etc.

>>96278576
That's what kills me, AOS has some sickass models, cool concepts, but holy shit it was never given the time or love to just exist and be it's own thing like 40k or Fantasy got early on. It sucks corpo fucks haven't realized that investing into make your product more appealing and giving it some breathing room would allow for them to get away with more shit and get brownie points.

>>96278576
>WHFB and to a much lesser extent 40k didn't have that sort of shit shaping them from birth
Yes, they did.
Warhammer fantasy took its shape from the necessity to sell in bulk all their fantasy and historical miniatures they were producing for various other games, all mashed together in a new wargame with a new setting that had all the shit they wanted conveniently arranged.
AoS did the same, except instead of having to work with historical minis and D&D stuff, it had the leftovers of warhammer fantasy.

>>96278581
the material limitations that are taken into account are the ones of plastic in its final form, not in the 3up version.

>>96278592
It’s honestly a testament to the strength and potential of AoS if it can do this well while being chained down like that.

>>96278607
Thats the kicker, AoS is doing fine. But I would like if it could be doing better, for me, the guy playing the game.

>>96278584
>> X looks like shit
It doesn't, you're just a faggot with a contrarian opinion about sculpted fire on models.

>>96278613
Oh yeah, definitely. Me too, man.

>>96278343
That's got to do with digital-only sculptors being sadists who make fun of their customers.

>>96278633
skinks look weird. Like something out of oddworld.

>>96277669
You have summoned ghoulanon

>>96278126
If they had plans for all 4 temples from the start, then they must have changed something because the river temple guys have somewhat different design cues all around there.

>>96278643
It really is maddening to me, I have only 30 generic ghouls. I don't even fuckin' know how that happened. I can't run the full block of 40 (admittedly not that I'm particularly excited to paint 40 generic ghouls, but I made a promise I'd finish at least 2 armys this year) But nice to see you ghoul-anon, also glad to hear you're going out and playin with your dudes!

>>96278656
Thanks nice-anon! Here's a shot from a game the other day

>>96278648
The wizard version of the river temple would also have to incorporate the shape of the animal into the headgear of the model, but the water horse doesn't have much in terms of horns, so I guess it's just going to have a big mane like some wardancer or slayer?

>>96278619
Anon the point being made is that I (the correct, non retarded individual) expressed that I did not like the sculpted fire, at which point (You) (retarded, barely literate faggot) responded with a bizarre allegation that I'm 'scared of fire.' Recognizing that (You) are a mental defective that in better times would have been strangled in the cradle, I responded as such >>96278584. (You) then said I have a contrarian opinion on sculpted fire (no evidence of the prevailing opinion on sculpted fire was presented).
Tl;Dr kill yourself. Pic not related.

>>96278576
>>96278596
I agree that aos is corpo as fuck but I disagree with the notion that whfb and 40k were some labour of love and not the exact same, like the other guy pointed out. Fantasy was created so they could keep selling the models they were already producing for various other wargames. Beastmen as a concept exist because citadel happened to already produce broo minis for runequest etc. 40k happened because they wanted to tap into the scifi market. They straight up ripped half their concepts from existing work (chaos being an especially egregious example).
Gw may have refined their corpo tendencies by the time aos came around, but let's not delude ourselves into thinking they were ever anything else.

>>96278692
>nice-anon! Here's a shot from a game the other day

Holy fuck I desperately wish my FLGS had terrain like that, mostly just 40k blown of space church walls. but looks good anon hope you had fun! (Also nice to see the actual size of the little ghoul throne considering I'm still using the magewrath haha)

>>96278700
Not fridge worthy behavior

>>96278697
>I guess it's just going to have a big mane like some wardancer or slayer?
If you think about it river guys lore about throwing themselves suicidally at enemies is slayerish

do one of you bros have new kharadron rules pdf

>>96278648
>>96278697
They could turn it into a kirin-like horse, since loomies are sort of east asian anyway. Get their horns that way. I think the river guys are easily the weakest lumineth wing so far, but I don't think that's a very hot take.

>>96277882
This is a sloppost but I genuinely think lion rangers and swifthawk fit into the modern CoS concept really neatly, and they’re microfactions with a strong central idea but little enough exploration that they could do whatever with them.

>>96278714
I hate that I want to give a genuine response but it's probably just gonna boil down to "Old stuff had better vibes" I think back to all the old random black library paperbacks and short stories, or comics, or games and feel like GW was just looser with the IP then they are nowadays. But I wasn't into it all back then so I can't say if back in like the 2000's WHF or 40k players were like "Really GW, ANOTHER GOTREK AND FELIX BOOK" or some shit or "Shadow of the Horned rat, this shit is garbage"

>>96278700
You conveniently forgot about your own bizarre allegations >>96278431

You can add "hypocrite" to the list of true and proven facts about you, alongside "faggot" and "contrarian" and "scared of fire".

i like idoneth and im sad they will forever be unloved by gw

>>96278750
They already made that

>>96278776
Why are you waiting for someone else to love them?

Are you some kind of cuck?

>>96278592
>>96278607
>>96278613
The upper management at GW fundamentally don't understand their audience or have faith in their product. That's a core problem.

can't say that i care for the expansion of content to appeal to eastern audiences more... honestly the west should be a closed bubble for a few hundred years like how the japs used to have it

>>96278763
Yeah I get it anon don't worry, despite what I said it's also undeniable that gw has become a lot more ...calculated when it comes to how they handle their IP. Prime example being the name changes from whfb to aos (ogors, orruks, ælves etc) and in 40k. I can't speak for the early days but warhammer fans have always liked to complain. When gw was trying to give fantasy its last hurrah (or squeeze the last drop out of it, depending on how you look at it), people grumbled about every new unit added. Now for some this was pretty understandable (skycutter, gyrocopters,...) but irondrakes, demigryphs, anything that wasn't already established got a fair amount of hate. Old good new bad is ironically nothing new.
>>96278791
Uhh you seem to be mistaken anon, that's obviously a Great Spirit Longma™, a novel and original concept thought up by the great minds over at Games Workshop

>>96278834
I kinda figured no one has ever been happy, that's just kind of the fate of existing in a space with a bunch of nerds. But I still do hope shit gets better, I love the models but just wish we could get just a crumb of the bullshit amount of stuff space marines get.

Anyone got scans of the Spearhead Fire and Jade and Sand and Bone stuff? Gib plz ty.

i need crazier tzeentch models

I fucking love the Lumineth. Their lore, the Asian spiritual inspiration of their models, the stories involving them, they're elves. I love it all.
But the models are so fucking fiddly, fragile and detailed! I'd play the shit out of them if every single one of those bastards wasn't so busy.

>>96278912
your inability to truly appreciate the pleasure in painting these models stems from your server lack of understanding of greek intellectual and aesthetic sensibilities fused with far east spirituality.

>>96278791
That's just a bad Stormdrake conversion

Are buildings & manifestations must-adds to lists? Like if I'm playing skaven do I NEED to get the gnawholes and skaven magic?

>>96278912
They’re deceptively easier to paint than you’d think. Lots of flat open spaces, well defined and generally simple trim. People always lump them with Hedonites when talking about painting difficulty but it’s not even close how much harder HoS is to paint. Deepkin are harder than LRL, too. I know because I’ve painted stuff from all 3 and collect the latter 2. I will say whoever does the assembly/sprue design for LRL needs a brick to the head. It’s seemingly random and asinine how they split the model up and typically make subassembling them their own challenge.

>>96278912
Man sometimes I feel like I'm the only one on this board that actually enjoys painting minis full of detail

>>96278942
You don't NEED them (Skaven you kinda do, but you could just effectively use a piece of paper in the same size and call it a day) Endless spells goes the same way, your mileage may vary depending on which spells. They're just extra stuff if you have lots of casting available, and fun models to paint. I don't think any faction NEEDS endless spells, but sometimes they're pretty fucking cool.

>>96278963
man, shut the fuck up. what the fuck do you know about anything, nonce?

>>96278971
D:

>>96278768

>>96277822
So apparently the terms and conditions of this raffle clarifies that the price pool is worth £ 2100 in retail prices and includes 10 spearheads and 10 army sets. Since spearheads are 87.50 pounds, that should mean the army sets are 122.5 pounds instead of the usual 145. So either spearhead prices are going up, or this army set will be a fair bit cheaper than usual (or some intern fucked up and made a typo)...

>>96277530
If you wanted a reminder about how incompetent GW is when it comes to numbers; they say this event caused the death of "hundreds" of kharadron.
>>96279054
>army set price going down
That would be huge, and would make sense given how light the box is on plastic. 10 foot sloggers, a hero, an artillery piece and a not!dreadnought for 180 euros is criminal. It's those battletomes man, they pump up the price.

>>96278643
awesome to see anon

The tomes should be pretty soon, FEC have a lot of good stuff to look forward to. Nighthaunt players it's not looking so good. For the book to make any sense, the army has to be restyled as a horde army. Maybe bladegheists for 120?

>>96279098
> Have a bunch of rock grinder teams drilling into the rock face
> Do the detonate attack

Total Skaven victory

>>96279193
I'd appreciate if they just made chainrasps have a use in the army. Also what new stuff does FEC have coming, TELL ME ANON!

>>96279308
really depends on points. they're 6 up save now, 5+ ward, get a free movement at the beginning of the game and lost the +1 wound on charge.

tldr is that NH are down on damage and trading, gained a bit of health on core infantry, heroes took a significant hit, they probably auto lose against any army that can strip wards.

fec is much better, pretty much everything aside morbheg spam with ushoran is in a much better place. noble deeds are gone and replaced with a new mechanic that has a lot of utility but a little random.

>>96277425
If they gave you legs you could make extra gargants from excess bits given enough kits, their jewry won't allow it.

>>96277822
looks like a pain in the ass to enter something with a fractional percent chance of winning.

>>96279373
I'd be sad about noble deeds being gone if I didn't hate the system. But good hear, glad to hear other stuff than Morbhegs will be buffed! I love my Morbhegs but a chunk of that is probably just the fact that they're stats wise the best fucking thing in the army other than Ush.

>>96279193
>Nighthaunt players it's not looking so good.
I'm already anticipating being unplayable, there was always a zero percent chance they didn't completely blow balancing this retarded idea to completely gut ethereal.

>>96279404
me rolling for gutrippaz mortals

>>96278963
you need them to play the army effectively, this argument is essentially the same as telling anon he can use bottlecaps as rat ogres.

>>96279422
the writer for the fec book did a great job, hard to explain the new mechanic but will make sense when you read it

>>96279426
its pretty rough, i get the feeling nh is being punished for early edition. the ethereal change wouldn't be half bad if there weren't a ton of other nerfs. biggest one aside from that is all the wave of terror stuff is gone, most of those debuffs are now difficult to cast spells with the same casters we have now, so you have a lot of spells cast on a 6 or 7 with realistically 3 spell slots at most and only reikenor for any bonuses to cast, with 18" range. bladegheists lost the +1 attack on charge, no -1 wound for the harridans, awlrach's thing is just once per battle etc

>>96279464
No I know, same goes for Wyldwoods, the new crypts for SBGL, and I think that's it as far as I remember. (Most other terrain is pretty superfluous) but sometimes people wanna save money etc which I understand. I dunno if rogres are needed as much as gnawholes but I figured if he didn't have the models at the moment he has an alternative so things function.

>>96278942
For certain factions the endless spells and invocations are integral to their playstyle. Things like wyldwoods for sylvaneth, gnawholes for skaven, loonshrine for gitz, etc... are an important part of the game for them. Luckily there are lots of stls available for endless spells and faction terrain that closely match the silhouettes of the authentic ones as some of the spells can be quite hard to track down and are frequently sold out. I'm sure someone has also traced the gnawholes and posted it online so you could easily diy them given they're just a crater with some swirly stuff in it

>>96278942
Currently, yeah it's a free advantage but they have been attributing points to them recently so eventually it will be a choice
I'd wait unless it's really hindering you, worse case throw down some proxy

>>96279510
stormcast, kruleboys, gsg, NH terrain is also auto include level.

>>96279498
I'll be excited for that for my ghouls but very sad that nighthaunt are gonna get clubbed to death. (But when you got all 4 death armys at least one is bound to be good)

>>96279543
Ah shit I really need the boss tower?

>>96279557
Its +1 on trick rolls in kb, its very good. Reducing charges is also really good in IJ.

>>96279581
That's not too necessary, but I have other alternatives for that I can use if need be. Got that infinite staircase thingy from fantasy.

>>96279075
Crystal meth and yoga

>>96279557

Disliking one of the genuinely most interesting and potential filled gods? Dumbass. Once you look beyond "lol sex" Slaanesh is easily the best Chaos God simply due to the sort of stories that can be told and the endless range of characters that can revolve around him/his desires.

>Once you look beyond "lol sex"
I hear there's stuff beyond that, but at best I find things like "lol music" and "lol mutations". I think Slaanesh is just a shallow goddess and fans of hers just imply there's more. It's fine, Warhammer lore just exists as an excuse to sell toys and books,

Do yall ever try homebrew rules? I came up with this while working after being spired by pic related. I’m a nogames fag so I haven’t tried this.

Boomboyz
Envious at the brutality of enemy cannons, these brutes decided to adopt that carnage for themselves.

4” move, 3 health, 1 control, 3+ save
Ranged weapon
Lobbin Ballz -
15”, d3 attacks, 4+ hit, 3+ wound, rend 1, damage 2 (crit mortal)
Gorkbreath Ballz -
6”, 3 attacks, 4+ hit, 3+ wound, rend 2, damage 2 (shoot in combat)
Melee weapon
Cannon Smash -
1 attack, 4+ hit, 5+ wound, rend -, 1 damage

Ability:
- Propa Aim: if this unit has not moved in the movement phase, it has +1 to hit for the rest of the turn
- Da Kannon: when firing in the shooting phase, choose one of the ranged weapon profiles

3 models, 240pts, can be reinforced
50mm base
Infantry, ironjawz, brute, destruction

>>96280002
There's a good story where some Khornate warriors fall to Slaanesh without knowing it, such was their lust for bloodletting, and when they die a whole load of Slaaneshi daemons are like, 'lol get fucked noob'

Seriously tempted to make a 1st/2nd edition Wanderer army now that the Old World brought the Welfs back. They seem super fucking fun! Plus I've always adored Warhammer Wood Elves.

>>96280014
I'd say they fit more with the Ogors or the Chaos Chorfs than with the Ironjawz.

>>96280053
Such a cool bit of lore that never led anywhere *sigh*

>>96280029
Yes, I also like those lousy hippies with pointy ears.

>>96280047
Would be a great conversion idea if you wanted to use leadbelchers as allies in either a chorf or ironjawz list, but I don't even think ogres have any regiments of renown (rather bafflingly)

Anyone got a pdf of the Beastgrave rulebook for Warhammer Underworlds?

>>96280062
It comes from before the GA books and squatting of Tomb Kings

>>96280122
I know, I've read the lore. It was still cool.

>>96280130
Yeah, just saying it wasn't supposed to go anywhere it just represented Tomb Kings who were legitimately a normal part of AoS at the time

>>96280053
How would tomb kings differ from bonereapers anyways?

>>96280154
FUCK NAGASH

>>96280122
>>96280142
I always forget that both tomb kings and brets were legitimately playable in aos for a short while.
On that note, while looking at what's happening at my lgs and online a bit, it seems like brets have really turned their popularity issues around, while kings seem to still struggle on that front. Bit of a shame, kings were my favourite faction and if I ever try out tow it will be with them.

>CHANGEABLE SKIES
>Lord-Magnate Brokk Grungsson flies to the aid of his homeport Barak-Nar when it is threatened by a conspiracy of Tzeentchian change-cults. Led by the Lord of Change known as Ixivillix the Ever-Flux, these old enemies of the Kharadron tear open a portal to the Crystal Labyrinth in the skies above the floating city. Bleeding lurid colours and spewing forth floods of daemons, this rift threatens to engulf Barak-Nar and its main battle fleet. However, Grungsson refuses to go down without a fight. He orders the sky-port's Aether-Khemists to gather all the nullstone they can muster and stow it aboard a single, battle-worn Ironclad. Grungsson himself pilots this vessel right into the heart of the portal, causes a backlash of anti-magic force so potent that the rift is banished, and Barak-Nar is very nearly sent tumbling to its doom. As the sky-port stabilises, a single figure is glimpsed descending from on high: the unkillable Lord-Magnate himself, clutching the frozen head of Ixivillix the Ever-Flux.

Models are made at 3x the size because theres a machine i forget the name of that basically traces over and downscales everything for the final model. It doesnt matter if its CAD then printed or sculpted by hand, you still want to upscale your prototypes so you can clean them up, hide print lines and so on.

>>96280002
Conceptually Slaanesh embodies ALL excess and pleasure. Yes, that obviously goes to sex and flaying your cock just for a new experience, but Slaanesh is largely about novelty. The same thing you did before is boring now and you need something new or more extreme. You seek ever more extravagant meals, new forms of art and entertainment. It's all about novelty and pleasure.

>>96281107
So in other words, they desire... a CHANGE

Especially since it's more like twenty years ago now

>>96277409 (OP)
Why the fuck is archao so huge. Put him next to nagash.

>>96281107
Slaanesh isn't the Dark Prince for nothing. The excess of each of the other Gods (excessive desire for change and plots, excessive desire to grow and wallow in disease, the excessive violence of Khorne) it all feeds Slaanesh. It's even stated in the lore that the other Chaos Gods are uneasy about Slaanesh because one day it could just consume them all.

>>96281071
pretty much, easy way to spot a bad player is one that freaks out whenever you talk about ethereal. NH had ethereal for like 3 years and was coasting on dumpster fumes until their 3e tome, but man does it piss people off when their rend 3 unit can't lift something in a turn.

>>96281362
archy is bigger than most primarchs

>>96281351
>>Riding the equivalent of 4 Greater Daemons crammed into one horse
It's only 3. Doesn't even have a verminlord.

>>96281362
Teclis is supposed to be a god, being "just barely" taller is pathetic. Why is he so pathetic. Even in a new world where he isn't half-dying and his brother is no longer the main focus, he's still a loser. Just like Grungni being less important than grimnir, even though grimnir is literally dead. I guess a NERD can never beat a CHAD.

>>96281360
Nice. I still need to come up with lore for my LRL /dudes/ before I commit to dice. I've been wanting some for my IDK, too, but GW flat out refuses to make new symbols for the IDK besides re-doing their faction symbol. So I've got like nothing to base my own enclave symbol on.

High School Warhammer, definitely a great idea, am I right gentlemen?

How are we 4 editions in and Lizards still only have one named character in Kroak? I would have expected at least one named Saurus and Skink character by now.

>>96281396
GW almost lost their minds when it came to naming the lizardmen in Fantasy. I doubt they'll do the same with the lizardmen in AoS.

>>96281396
>GW almost lost their minds when it came to naming the lizardmen in Fantasy.
How so?
And it's not like they haven't named some of them in the books. There's just no named character models or characters that actually matter.

Is there a list or gallery anywhere of every model GW has outright discontinued for AOS? I feel like this game loses more models from production far faster than 40k.

Go to the wiki, friend, there you can find the old and updated models.

>6 Saurus
>4 Skinks, all priests

>>96281486
The wiki will show the various models for things, but I was just hoping to see a list of all the discontinued models. Maybe it's all the Warcry stuff that's been discontinued that makes me think it's a lot, but it really feels like a lot of models were around for less than 5 years before going OOP.

>>96281506
Aren’t some of the slaans reincarnated?

>>96281371
/mydudes/ are part of the Alumnia nation close to the border near Zaitrec, often sharing knowledge and philosophies between the two nations. My forces are a headstrong unit who often take the approach of being a decisive strike force who are heavily aided by magic to bolster themselves before severing the head of the snake. Rarely will they sneak or resort to ambushes but instead March forward with martial prowess, mixed arms and magical might to reintroduce our enemies into the fucking soil. We hold strong for our lord Tyrions return and his blazing glory will take us to new heights.

>>96278558
It has (had) something to do with pantograph milling, but I'm fuzzy on the specifics

>>96281535
As far as I'm aware that's not something they can do. Otherwise I'd think Mazdamundi would've come back. No new Slann are born and as far as I'm aware when they're dead, they're dead. Except Kroak.

>>96281535
Only one who is reincarnated/their spirit remains on the Mortal Plane is Kroak.
No new Slaan have been spawned since the Old Ones left in WHFB. The current Slaan are all from WHFB, and we're all spawned on the old world (it's up in the air if the first generation Slaan were spawned on the old world or arrived with the old ones. Some old fluff states that only the First Generation actually met with and stood in the presence of the Old Ones but that might have been changed or retconned.

Finally, Thanks Bro.

>>96281949
I would've posted it for you earlier had I personally seen the posts. Enjoy.

>>96281506
The Slann are the most important named characters in the faction because they lead most of them, they’re obviously going to get top billing in names and relevancy. There’s fucktons of minor characters who don’t have lexicanum articles and are skinks/saurus/kroxigor, though

My local is doing a hero painting contest. I'm gonna do the free guild marshal and his squire as my entry. At first I thought I was cheating a little by adding in 2 minis, but like someone is painting Archeon so I figure it's probably fine.

>>96282097
Genuinely kinda shocked at how Aos appeals to Hispanics. It’s not BIG, but it’s more than you would think.

Just polished off 20 direwolves today! Finished 20 cryptguard earlier, hitting my painting goals for the months and going for bonus now!

Isn’t shooting kinda in a weird spot rn

>>96282304
I really like the models, so figure they go in the soup. But even still they'll push forward, set up on objectives, shoot a little and then die standing. As Sigmar demands of his faithful.

>>96282310
I salute thee.

>>96282298
Why are the ghyran cavaliers more expensive than standard cavaliers?

>>96282331
Pretty much all of the soggy profiles cost more than their original profiles because gw doesn’t want to risk releasing overpowered sheets. Even when some things are just sidegrades at best.
Looking at the acolytes here, real hard.

Anyone got a pdf of the 4e Idoneth battletome?

>>96282310
As Sun-Tsu says: "Rules are temporary, but cool models are sick as hell"

>>96282331
Their rule is drastically better. And more fluffy. The two units have very different roles. The normal one make or break on a charge. The scourge ones grind units down and even work as a bait unit because of how stupidly durable they are and how their rule works.

>>96282326
>>96282354
Hell yeah. Thanks anons. CoS is gonna be a funzone project for me I think. FEC are gonna stick around as my competition army.

God I fucking hate the end of edition narrative shit. I wanna read that shit now, not when 4th is gonna fucking end.

Morathi bros, you have gone to the gym today to get joocy for Morathi right?

>>96282424
They realy should just make it mid edition coresponding with faction updates

>>96282456
Not a Morathi bro, but I have adjustable dumbbells and a pull up bar at home does that count? Combined with calisthenics and cardio and good to go.

>>96282350
Wait another month or two and it will be available, I think.

>>96282456
I'm doing 100 squats a day, every day. I'm ready to be pegged all day every day.

>>96282480
Should do weighted squats too to properly overload yourself. That many BW squats just end up being cardio.

>>96282466
Are you also doing heavy horizontal pulls and pushes, vertical pushes, squats and deadlifts?

>>96282565
>Are you also doing heavy horizontal pulls and pushes, vertical pushes, squats and deadlifts?
Six day PPL with standard and goblet squats in my leg day programming among other things. Romanian and Stiff Leg dumbbell Deadlifts too.

DoKfags so gay. No straight man has ever worried about making his ass look fuckable.

Do fyreslayers even coexist with any of the cities like sylvaneth and…grey water duaradin do?

Mork's Eye Pebble is just an 5+ ward aura right? Why dose it say for the rest of the phase if it's a passive?

>>96282624
The artwork for Hallowheart in the 2nd ed Cities Battletome had Fyrelsayers in it

>>96282610
Nice. So many people skip legs, it's sickening.

I'm a straight man with a very fuckable ass. Chess mate

Can someone explain to me in a clear and simple way how to play SpearHead?

>>96282668
Like how it differs from AoS or completely how to play?

>>96282668
You take whatever models are in the specific box, put them on a small board, place 5 objectives around, pick like 1 out of 2 buffs for your whole force and 1 out of 4 buffs for your hero and then play normal AoS excpets you have cards that either earn you points if you meet the objective or give you advantage that hopefully will let you earn more points other way

What is life like in Ulgu for the average person?

>>96282650
It should say reaction once per battle

Reading up on some 1d6chan stuff for Aos. Are fyreslayers still patriarchal?

>>96282810
Chances are you’re fucking up your best chaos bud because malerion thinks it’s funny.

>>96281475
There's basically exactly that, guy on reddit has compiled a list of all aos models that were ever in use, with some information about their release date, whether they come from fantasy or are aos originals, are they still in use...
It's all in a google spreadsheet, just search for "age of sigmar model history" or something along those lines and you should find the thread with a link. Guys name is wrinkletooth if that helps.
It's a pretty fun document to go through in general, should be exactly what you're looking for.

>>96282818
For now.
Ironically they're probably safe as long as they remain unpopular.

>>96282810
Given the main human settlement is known for drugs, the food we've heard about is bad and the whole place is basically the part of Norway where people aren't allowed to stay during winter, in winter, i'd argue it's rather misrable.
Might even beat Shyish

>>96282810
it's like life in England, but more colorful

>>96282810
I remember
The dark woods, masking slopes of sombre hills;
The grey clouds' leaden everlasting arch;
The dusky streams that flowed without a sound,
And the lone winds that whispered down the passes.

Vista on vista marching, hills on hills,
Slope beyond slope, each dark with sullen trees,
Our gaunt land lay. So when a man climbed up
A rugged peak and gazed, his shaded eye
Saw but the endless vista - hill on hill,
Slope beyond slope, each hooded like its brothers.

It was a gloomy land that seemed to hold
All winds and clouds and dreams that shun the sun,
With bare boughs rattling in the lonesome winds,
And the dark woodlands brooding over all,
Not even lightened by the rare dim sun
Which made squat shadows out of men; they called it
Cimmeria, land of Darkness and deep Night.

It was so long ago and far away
I have forgot the very name men called me.
The axe and flint-tipped spear are like a dream,
And hunts and wars are shadows. I recall
Only the stillness of that sombre land;
The clouds that piled forever on the hills,
The dimness of the everlasting woods.
Cimmeria, land of Darkness and the Night.

Oh, soul of mine, born out of shadowed hills,
To clouds and winds and ghosts that shun the sun,
How many deaths shall serve to break at last
This heritage which wraps me in the grey
Apparel of ghosts? I search my heart and find
Cimmeria, land of Darkness and the Night.

>>96282665
I don't believe you, post ass and cock.

Hello /aosg/, I want to get into this game with idoneth and I got a couple of questions.
Since apparently idk got a small update this year, what's the over/under on them being in a christmas box this year ?
If anyone has any experience playing with or against the current spearhead, are they any fun, and would you say they're usuable for a complete beginner ?
Thanks :)

>>96282656
The fluff said they were mercenaries employed by the city not living within the city symbiotically or something
>>96282624
Yeah, they're travelling mercenaries and recur in the fluff as tavern goers and such. That said, no not really. Fyreslayers live in lodges not cities. There's probably long term contracts and stuff that sees Fyreslayers dwell within a city for a time but it's all
>return to lodge
or
>found a new lodge

>>96282456
I have completed my daily hrt regime and listened to hypnosis for an hour while painting
We are so ready morathisisters

>>96282989
I think there is a chance, given they got more kits than say Khorne or Nighthaunt, but it's not a 100%

>>96282989
Man I truly don't get why deepkin are relatively unpopular. The concept and models are so good.

roguehobbies said Fyreslayers weren't planned to last past 2nd edition holy shit

>>96283105
bald eyeless downie aelves are the main infantry

>>96283107
Your mom said you'll find someone eventually

>>96283113
and they're cool too!

>>96283105
not enough models are wearing the cool armours, too many of them are wearing crop tops or are half naked
only the deepmare has a good design for a deep sea fantasy creature, the eels are plain and almost toothless, the shark is just a shark, and the turtle is an all around weird choice when they could have had a cephalopod or whale of some kind, although it's not too bad in its own way

but more importantly, noone likes the namarti

gw has tried multiple times over the course of its history to make an army where the core troops are some kind of slave underclass that are unlike the people that actually represent the faction, they did it with tyranids back then when they had to make a certain percentage of their army out of zoats, they did it with the old slann when they had to make a certain percentage of their army out of lobotomised humans, and they have made it now with idoneth where you're more or less forced to grab namarti one way or another

it never works, if people want to collect an army of tyranids they want the fucking tyranids, not the zoats, if people want to collect an army of slann they want the fucking slann, not the humans, if people want to collect an army of atlantean elves, they want the fucking elves with crested helmets, not the blind bald freaks

>>96283157
I genuinely love the eyeless abyss elves, they're so cool to me. If only they didn't suck on the tabletop. I don't know why GW thought the new character that thinks namarti are the true form of the idoneth should buff fucking eels instead.

>>96277440
A super-mega gargant should just be a pair of actual shoes shaped like gargant feet.

>>96282810
SAD (Seasonal Affectiveness Disorder) is a very common affliction

>>96283008
It sounds more like you should be playing 40k

Thinking of trying to get into AoS lore. I like the elves of WHFB, anything good with AoS elves? Audiobooks preferably.

>>96283157
i disagree the namartii are great models, and reavers are even decent in the game.

people dont tend to collect a ton of thralls because they just dont work with the armies game plan and never have. the army is moving 12+ inches a turn as a whole. reavers can skirt around this because they threaten at range and can run and still do their thing. thralls have always been sluggish, but too fragile to be on the recieving end. the lack of thralls in peoples collection is merely a logistics problem, nothing to do with the lore or the aesthetics.

your whole wall of text is pretty off base
>not enough models are wearing the cool armours
this is the only part you got right, it would be nice to see a unit of akhelian knights on foot, though that is not mutually exclusive with thralls

>>96280174
I genuinely thought that was World of Warcraft art until I scrolled further down in the picture. jesus.

>>96283248
The underworlds warbands have some cool ideas, like the more heavily armoured namarti in cyreni's razors, or the foot akhelian in the first one.

>>96283240
Read the battletomes, BL secondary

>>96283304
Are Battletomes worth it if I don't give an iota of a shit about the rules since I don't play, just read and paint?

>>96283309
My god, it's even worse than I thought.

>>96283311
Well, alright then. Have fun.

>>96283309
the battletomes and core rulebook are where most of the big picture "who the hell are these guys and why should i care" for the setting is.

if you go and just start reading BL novels without reading at least the relevant factions battletome lore, you may be a bit lost on the who, what, and especially the where, as the battletomes and core book spell out things like important cities, realms, and sites of power, as well as the major players on the setting stage.

the campaign books also tell the stories of some of the major events like the soul wars and broken realms, which had major setting altering conflicts and often introduced whole new armies or redefined existing ones like dawnbringers with sigmars new settlers crusades.

>>96283240
>>96283309
Prince maesa books are pretty decent by bl standards, though he's kind of an odd character not really represented by an actual faction in aos currently. There's some idoneth books but they're pretty bad worldbuilding wise, just kind of completely fly in the face of the fluff established in battletomes. Oh, and some of the new gotrek books have an elf companion who's pretty fun, she also has her own books. They're alright iirc.
I'd try and find scans of the lumineth/idoneth/daughters of khaine battletomes and see if you like the fluff.

>>96283260
so?

>This story has a Khinerai leading a Sect and commanding DoS forces in battle against Hedonites
>Still no Khinerai hero option on tabletop
Feels bad, man.

any good tuts for green NH? Mostly seems to be blue ones

>>96283349
>Prince Maesa
Actually my favourite book in all of AoS and I still hold out h(c)ope that he'll get a model someday.

>>96283303
Is this set still not for individual sale?

>>96283498
I don't think they are, no.

>>96283498
Underworlds availability is such a joke

>>96283551
Tell me about it. It seems like gw treats warbands like trading card companies treat their decks, they're meant to be cycled through.

>>96283309
Yeah, they're a little basic on the whole but the framework for factions. Brief but foundational

>>96280173
tomb kings are mostly dated infantry, whereas Brets are mostly 8e peasant kits or something

>>96280173
Thats because instead of making a new infantry or cavalry, to cover some of the oldest models GW is producing currently, they decided to make a big ass plastic dragon

>>96283874
>>96283892
Old bret models have held out a lot better than old kings models, but still it's kind of odd that people minded them more than they do now. And yeah tomb kings really needed a refresh on their shitty basic skeletons and horses, mouldlines on those are atrocious. I'm pretty sure the skeletons are just the old generic ones with an egyptian sprue thrown on top too.

>>96283105
Hard to play. And with the new tome the skill floor only went up.
More difficult to paint than the average painter would like. Fiddly models that are hard to transport and store. Also extremely NPC coded, unfortunately, so lore is going to be scarce with them.

>>96283477
you could just pick one of the blue tutorials and use green paints instead

how underwhelming will the new stardrake kit be

>Love dwarfs, collect and paint models I like
>Want to join local game scene but it's all AoS/40k
Do I just bite the bullet and get more models of an army I like or is there an alternative solution I'm missing? I was hoping there were fan created rules for existing factions that got squatted, but unless I'm counting Legends( which I heard weren't great even before they got axed ), I found nothing of the like. I don't think I'm convicing anyone to go Old World.

Would using my dwarfs as proxies for the kharadons make any sense?

>>96284693
Just settle for different dwarfs?

>>96284693
Classic dwarfs technically have fully legal non-legends rules within the Cities of Sigmar, but only a handful of kits and they're probably gonna get relegated to legends once the CoS tome drops.
So yeah unless you're interested in the models of the three aos flavoured dorf factions you're going to have to proxy yours.

>>96284693
Fyreslayers could very easily be proxies.
You got the flamer guys, the shield guys, the slayers, the only things slayers dont have are the cannons and engineers

They should just combine DoK and FS into CoS

>>96284842
coalition rules would be fine

>>96284795
They're also missing a gyrocopter analogue but hey thats a lot more than what I thought they had, all I ever saw of them was naked dudes running on foot with either one or two handed weapons and guys on lizards. Will definetly look into this as an option.
>>96284704
For 40k I've got my dear Orks, though Votans aren't bad, just not exactly my flavor of dwarf.
>>96284782
Taking a 2nd look but yeah I'm looking at alternative solutions since even if I can play, that has a hard time limit.

>>96284572
it will not have a generic rider option, it's just going to be vandus on evolved calanax.
And to separate itself from the design of draconith it won't have arms, and will instead have multiple prosecutors-like artificial wings and a way more serpentine design, closer to the artworks of dracothion than to a standard dragon.

>>96284704
>we have Kharadron at home

>>96284980
>my kharadrons come from cham-
wait a second

>>96284873
Votann were just the 40k example, AoS also has 2 dwarf options with a third on the way. Otherwise you might just have to accept that you just want to collect WFB/TOW Dwarfs.

>>96284896
>seraph
>dragon

>>96284873
Yeah not ideal, best of luck anon.
>>96284896
I like my dragons feathered so this would be great.
Concerning alternative build options, the chorfs have been generous with that so you never know.
