It's fine. It's not an exciting selection of units, but anyone who gets started building a tree army will most likely want to have at least one box like this, if not two.

I like both spearheads, they're very different in terms of playstyle and feel, beefy and straightforward in the old one, finnicky and technical in the new. They also don't overlap outside of the basic saurus, which you don't mind anyway.
As for a new spearhead, we used to have a skink start collecting, so why not do something like that again.
I threw together picrel, it's got your basic skinks, the starseer, bastilodon and the new raptadons. Ends up being 188 yuros which is great value (40% I think), but still within bounds, the new idk one is 190 yuros for example. Could switch the starseer to starpriest if you want to decrease the value a little.

new box is fantastic value, eels (of course) and king are great in game and even reavers pull their weight. Old one was decent too.With how small the army is currently you can't really come up with a very different potential third one, unless you start to get weird with the underworlds warbands (and even then). I'm happy though.

like the other guys said misthavn is a collection of boats bound together, which can be broken up and later reassembled at any time if necessary. Can't really have a map of that, though we do have a map of where in Ulgu it's usually hanging out (just southwest of the center).
Anonymous No.96345084 >>96345122

The point of the city is that it's made of boats congregating around the massive sigmarite ship guarding the realmgate

people think the realmgate is fixed onto the ship and that the sigmarites move it around for protection, but in truth the gate moves on its own and the role of the big ship is to follow it

With gitz you could basically turn any of their subfactions into their own spearhead, they're fun that way. For trolls you could have rockgut, Fellwater, dankhold and mollogs mob to get one of each. Would end up at about 41% discount so great but still doable. Would be absolute ass to actually play against in spearhead though, just imagining it hurts my soul.

No. The lumineth one is so unbelievably dog water. I'd swap the blade lords (even though they're my favorite unit) for cav. This brings the box up about 250 points to about 600ish which seems to be the sweet spot for good spearheads.
Counterpoint: it has given me a reason to buy the sylvaneth one and I'm having a blast building them and starting my White cold sylvaneth.

The play style is very boom or bust. The models have always been ace that can look good at any skill level. The other anchor is the reliance on placing (and buying) additional terrain. It makes traveling anywhere with the army a pain (in 1st/2nd I needed a separate entire box just for woods); that's even if you have a car (I do). I can't imagine trying to travel with all the shit you need for sylvaneth on a bus or train like the europoors seem to be obsessed with

I'm really enjoying this novel, it's got an interesting story, great characters/character development, engaging action and gives a good insight into the Alarith.
BUT WTF IS THE OBESSION WITH FOUR ARMS?!
The main villain has four arms, and it seems like every single enemy the characters fight or daemon that appears in the novel has four fucking arms, usually ending in some sort of weapon.
If not four arms, then they've got scorpion tails. It's getting ridiculous at this point. Only bad part of the novel thus far.

Hachette collections, stormbringer volume 40. It has the body sprue, but also that sprue is the only one the ancient needs. If you want to make durthu and normal Treelord, you just need the bits from the 2nd sprue you get with the spearhead/treelord kit. Spearhead+2 magazines makes you 1 of each.

What’s crazy is that all the higher level players are coping that they like the book and the β€œchallenge and flexibility” of playing with it despite still having trouble piloting it anywhere near as well as they could pilot the index. Shark spam seems to be the most viable option right now and that’s a seasonal rule that isn’t even in the actual tome. GW for some reason thought that raising the skill floor and nerfing the army is exactly what it needed. Another insult to injury is taking away our best artifact, buffing it and giving it to FEC.

A reliable rumourmonger has hinted at a certain name ogre overtyrant (globb) getting a model, people have also speculated that the basic glutton/leadbelcher/ironguts trio might get a refresh, though that's mostly just wishlisting.
For cities, the same rumourmongers have said they'll get some love this edition. What that is isn't exactly clear, though there's even older rumours pointing to a cogfort.
Finally there's nurgle, of which it's been said they'll have a release around christmas, involving pestigors and maybe updated plaguebearers and possibly some other shit.
There's also been mentions of eshin, and khul getting his ascended model, though the latter would be "way later than we think" or something like that.

"Elfs with big fucking swords" was a thing in all 3 elf races back in whfb (executioners, swordmasters, wildwood rangers) so thematically it would make sense for the idoneth to have them, being composed of a vatiety of elven souls.
Idoneth just need more Infantry man, it's the visual backbone of an army and idoneth have a grand total of two (2) options. Give them their heavy armoured elite swordguys. While we're at it, give them an elite ranged unit too. Maybe the shaerk riders with their net launchers, is maybe a bit more in theme than big crossbows.

The magnet baron stands aren't really that bad, definitely the easiest option and super easy to ignore the extra bits on the model once it's all painted up.
Painting the ships, however, is actual torture. Subassemblies galore and constantly rubbing off paint on the parts you're holding the ship by, because there's no real good way to hold it.
I'm glad I'll never have to paint another frig or ironclad again. The gunhaulers weren't too bad though.

The purpose of the Christmas Boxes is to boost movement on units that are clogging up inventory or are expected to be soon. Sometimes that means putting in a bunch of kits that are about to get replaced next year, sometimes that means adding in stuff from a faction that is selling well with a big centerpiece to make people ignore the filler all around it, sometimes it's a sort of Companion piece to a Spearhead/Star Collecting box that came out earlier in the year to help encourage people to jump up to bigger games now that they have finished their first box set. GW's methods and reasoning are not always consistent though so don't get too excited expecting like a box with the big Turtle in it to come out with a bunch of thralls and a wizard to fill out the box

I mean we'll never know for sure but if Matt wrote the FEC tome it makes sense it's more thoughtful since it's apparently his faction of choice. I don't believe that it's busted but its easy to see it had a lot of effort put into it.

For the nighthaunt tome being ass, it's like the biggest combination of nerfing for earlier in the edition plus the writer way overvaluing the things that he gave in return. I've definitely met more than enough people that cream themselves over a unit having crit mortals or ethereal, without really understanding how stats work. Or he might just hate NH. Based on the tomes he handles (which is easy to 3+ tell), he's just ignorant.

I feel like the same units that were necessary before are still necessary now. They just are sticky and less murdery. Also I'm going to keep shitting on GW until they let control score drop to 0.

What does that mean, we don't have that many units to begin with, if anything also less of them look viable than the index unless the points are very different. Its going to be a lot 20x Harridan blocks.

It's okay. Putting in the Royal Beastflayers feels like a desperate move to pad out the box because they couldn't think of anything else.
The original FEC Spearhead is still a great deal. I base this purely on how cool all the minis look together.
That said I'll likely get the new Spearhead sooner or later.

I dunno that's just not how they think, other games I follow an army has glaring hole in the range they quickly make a unit to fill it. GW just doesn't give a shit about stuff like that, fyreslayers for instance have been the same for 10 years.

Anon like almost all of the new spearheads include a Warcry Band or an UW band, they're obviously doing it on purpose generally.
Anonymous No.96353987 >>96354047

To be fair the old spearhead has all of the usuable new minis, so the only choice for them was to recycle a warcry warband, which they love doing anyway. Surprised they didn't put the pyregheists in the nighthaunt one honestly
Anonymous No.96353990

I don't understand why they can't just give them a reason to exist. Just make them a solid elite cavalry with heavy saves and more survivable. They don't need to be super murdery, just sticky and debuffy.

I know but I was answering the thread question. Speaking of I might get the CoS Spearhead solely for the Wildercorps Hunters. Everything else would be a bonus.

They would have been a better choice than the Harridans, for sure.

Eh, it pairs reasonably well with the new Spearhead. You get two things that aren't included and you can never have two many eels.

Rob is strange. I like someone breaking the BTs early (fuck the influencers and their NDAs) but he is such an opinionated fuck off (especially on shit he doesn't understand) it just runs the wrong way. Also he is apparently sitting on the chorf rulebook and won't spoil it yet

Lmao at that bullshit GW is too stupid to do the back shit to lock down leaks; Valrak has been getting shit for years and they can't stop him. It's not like they have the fags name printed and embossed on every page of the army book
GW sends army boxes to their gud bois months before they are released (these aren't always the same people as the cock slobbering influencers).

people have the box now yeah, will probably release sometime in september

i got a peak at some of the rules, tome revolves around building up demon points that work like daughters of khaine army where the amount on a unit determines how strong the buff is, otherwise lots of usual 4e slop style rules and not much list building options other than run what has the best stat line.

Their stuff is ugly as fuck and over priced.
You can buy the same shit on amazon for a fraction of the price.
It would still be ugly though.
