Many things in the Age of Sigmar existed in the "World that Was", but of the things that didn't transcend settings what do you most miss? What from the "World that Was" would benefit the current setting?

>TQ
I’d rather dig some stuff out from the age of myth than the world that was desu.

>>96743757 (OP)
>tq
honestly eh not much? At least when talking about stuff that gets brought over pretty much 1 to 1 there's not really something I can think of that's sorely missing. I'd like to see some aos takes on classic whfb stuff though, like what would a lumineth dragon look like or whatever, stuff like that.

>>96743787
For me it's just Felix, I want Felix back already.

>>96743757 (OP)
TQ: Brettonians, its a shame because while we have cities of Sigmar, a refresh of those old knights would be so cool. Imagine Varanguard sized Knights of the Grail, pegasus knights, trebuchet, all in new plastic, it would be such a visually cool faction.

Fresh chorf lore, mmm mmm

>>96743820
Hell yeah, some reading material to get me through a slow day at work.
Just wanna get home and finish my War Despot

>>96743800
Nothing about generic knight aesthetic is related to bretonia specifically

>>96743800
I don't really want to see Brets AOSified, the real result would not be cool

>>96743800
can't have that, you have to buy sigmarines, that's what gw wants from you, not taste, money for marines

>>96743820
his bull centaur statue thing being sentient is pretty interesting.
Also, how late do they do monday reveals usually? still a chance we get something?

>>96743899
>Also, how late do they do monday reveals usually? still a chance we get something?
We still got time, they haven't even dropped a monday reveal yet. The DarkWater reveal last week was very late also.

>>96743847
Yeah that’d be a shame

Okay my friend has the last bit ready for me today, just put some wings on! Soon my daemon prince will be ready!

>>96744112
Looks fitting

>>96744117
I've had these fucking things sitting around since I converted a Lauka Vai with legs, glad to finally have an opportunity to use them.

>>96744071
Whew that's grim. What happened here, rest of their new sculpts seem fine to good?

>>96743847
An interesting concept but I feel like AOS brets would just be brets, you can't change the gimmick too much since it's basically just King Arthur's round table but French mixed with Holy Grail styled fuckery. The heart of Bretonia is that low tech semi-magical society, I can't think of what else to add that would really make it worthwhile as a whole new faction.

Maybe go in on the storybook aspect of them, make them like an old swords and sorcery book come to life, completely at odds with the rest of the universe. Maybe some old stories passed down from the world that was (somehow?) and some best selling books, through the power of hope and imagination New Bretonia is born! More fantastical, could have everything more stylized like old medeival art, like weird dragons and hipogryphs, damsels and heroic knights, even a black knight and green knight figure! That's probably wayyyy too hokey but sounds cute enough. Pic Tangentially related.

>>96744147
There's like 1 good new sculpt in the Bret releas

>>96744187
New Bretonia as a twist on FEC. Deluded hope of the people manifesting as physical heroes to fight evil. Maybe have them always helmeted or masked as to hint that their appearance is based on the collective beliefs of mortals and don't have a "set" appearance. Maybe a lot of them and their stuff has a papery appearance, like they're crafted from books. Maybe they're part of a new god's birth, a god of dreams or something.

>>96744261
FEC instantly becoming allys with an imaginary faction made up of fairy tales and imagination would be pretty fun. A mix of hopes and delusions across the mortal realms bringing a new faction of heroes to life.

new batch of whitefang comments for those of us who like to partake in rumourslop. Talks a bit about how new dwarfs were never meant for CoS, so always meant to be their own army probably. Also jolly cooperation CoS might not be totally dead.

is everyone ready for the Realm of Kawaii, Ugu?

>>96744336
I wouldn't half mind if we stopped getting new armys and just focused on updating the old stuff more.

>>96744336
>depends on what kind of "multi-racial"
New Pygmies incoming

More more trophies!

>>96744336
oh and also, the boole guy just posted this list without any further clarification. On tga they're speculating that these are the current fyreslayer units/kits that will remain, and the rest will get purged:
Auric Runefather

Auric Runeson


Auric Runesmiter

Battlesmith

Auric Flamekeeper

Grimhold Exile

Auric Runefather on Magmadroth

Auric Runeson on Magmadroth

Auric Runesmiter on Magmadroth

Hearthguards

Vulkyn Flameseeker

>>96744367
Man, no runemilfs?

>>96744367
Now I know dickall about Fyreslayers, but this list infers the only thing they're getting rid of is the Vulkite berserkers, the literal basic bitch unit for Fyreslayers. Also you still can't buy the battlesmith outside of the Spearhead box.

>>96744415
Vulkites and some of the heroes, specifically the Runemaster, Doomseeker, and Grimwrath, which is weird because those are cool heroes with unique army roles.

Probably just means they've got replacements coming though, either literally or functionally new melee foot heroes/priests. And Vulkites are 100% the first kit you would want to replace if you were refreshing Fyreslayers.

>>96744381
Good, and stay gone, gooner.

>>96744203
This dude and his duke option is pretty cool. So are some of the resin heroes.

>>96744367
So they just consider the Warcry guys a replacment for the basic guys and remove a Silver Tower hero that had nothing special about him.
Quite the nothingburger

>>96744434
replacing makes more sense, the poses look goofy as fuck. That symmetry dwarf has been a meme for like a decade now (even if I do like him, I have one just sitting in my box of random bullshit) Doomseeker I can see being swapped up, his model is neat but nothing about him really implies... Doomseeker I guess? Grimwrath I do like same with Runemaster but I can imagine slightly more updated versions of them.

I guess I didn't realize they'd be actually doing some refreshes, I figured new units but updating the old ones is an interesting concept for a faction like Fyreslayers. Maybe they're hoping to cast a wider net so to speak.

>>96744187
>I can't think of what else to add that would really make it worthwhile as a whole new faction
turn the entire faction into green knights and ditch the restrictions on monsters
making them ethereal protectors of the realms emerging from mirage-castles sometimes visible within the mists of sacred lakes or distant clouds

are they undead? not really
are they human? they don't remove the helmets and they have weird forms sometimes
are they even real? debatable
aren't they redundant with stormcasts? not as much as marines make each other redundant
where were they? locked away by nurgle in an early masterstroke for the invasion of ghyran in the age of chaos and will return at the end of the rite of life
they were never sigmarites but there was no bad blood between sigmar and the free people and them
sigmar may or may not have been inspired by them
the state of debatable life is akin but opposite to the state of debatable unlife of ghoul, and there might have been connections between ushoran when he was still sane, THE blood knight, and these knights in the age of myth, making them unconventional allies

knights, armored centaurs, pegasi, questing beasts, giant knight, multiarmed duelist, swan griffon, moving castle on a terrasque etc

>>96744336
>Also jolly cooperation CoS might not be totally dead.
>implying he's not talking about another kind of diversity

>no Darkwater news
It's over.

>>96744472
>I guess I didn't realize they'd be actually doing some refreshes, I figured new units but updating the old ones is an interesting concept for a faction like Fyreslayers. Maybe they're hoping to cast a wider net so to speak
It's a little unexpected because the range was so small, but at the same time it makes sense. Fyreslayers definitely had too many redundant foot heroes. Already the Exile is a better beatstick than either the Grimwrath or the Doomseeker, and the Flameseeker always struck me as a guy who had no reason not to be a priest except that they had too many priest heroes. Factor in probable new heroes on top of all the old ones and yeah, someone was going to get cut.

>>96744497
Having the faction effectively be a good version of nighthaunt that maybe aren't spirits but more like the shadows of Bretonia brought back to life from Alarielle without her really realizing it. I can't remember if Brets got out during the end times or not but could effectively have it be like, they lives in Ghyran and eventually got wiped out, the old settlements seeped into the very realm itself merging with the Emerald Winds.

Maybe have villages of people that pop up and it's like they never died, they're completely ignorant to the state they exist in. Ghouls see them as a legendary force like the actual green knight. I do like the idea of Castles appearing out of the blue, an actual lady of the lake who appears at lakes around Ghyran and offers blessings to those that pay tribute, a mythical and almost ethereal camelot that doesn't quite exist but has legends and rumors swirling around about them.

Not sure about the monstrous aspect to them, I still like the idea of them being gallant knights maybe with something like we see in old pictures kinda like how COS has Gargoylians.

>>96744530
GIVE IT TIME ANON, DON'T REMIND ME GOD DAMNIT.

>>96744504
More like CoS gets Ogres, giants and Halflings instead of three types of elf and one type of dwarf.

>>96744556
I'm not terribly heartbroken about cuts since I don't play the faction (I do have a bunch of stuff because some guy sold it off and the heroes were like 3 dollars a piece in my FLGS used case with a 15 dollar pizza oven.) but it always feels weird to see stuff get cut from AOS when so many of the factions feel pretty small. Though I guess they feel small because they have like, 2 fucking infantry kits and then like 15 foot heroes so if they got some new shit it would make it sting a bit less.

>>96744367
>Grimhold Exile stays
Monkey paw bullshit

>>96744583
As someone who does play Fyreslayers, I am entirely unmoved, since I wasn't naive enough to think their long awaited refresh/merger would happen without at least a few cuts or replacement units. Also, of all armies, Fyreslayers are super suuuuuuuper easy to proxy anything you want, like who gives a fuck really, I can run any hero I own as any other hero and no one will blink an eye if we're being honest.

>>96744367
>vulkites
>spells
>scenery

>doomseeker
>grymwrath
>runemaster
they really had to delete specifically the good looking heroes, didn't they?

>>96744667
>I can run any hero I own as any other hero and no one will blink an eye if we're being honest.

This feels like the case of pretty much every faction to be honest. Which I enjoy, having more freedom to do shit like that is good since proxies or kitbashes are fun.

>>96744681
Eggman really is the worst, ugliest, hero Fyreslayers has which is saying a lot

>>96744667
>do you mind if I proxy my naked beard babies with a good looking model?
>I thought you'd never ask

>>96744336
>CoS gets Ogors and Halflings
Woah it's just like my astra militarum

>>96744737
or the empire

you know, where the idea came from in the first place

>>96744768
even worse

>>96744564
I would thoroughly enjoy aos halflings but I think it would also be the event horizon for the fantasy imperial guard allegations. No coming back from that.
>>96744681
Oh they're cutting the sutton mask dude? Was like the one fyreslayer I liked. Might pick him up then.

>>96744781
>Oh they're cutting the sutton mask dude? Was like the one fyreslayer I liked. Might pick him up then.
Mask dude is staying, it's only the heroes on the right side of the image that are going.

>>96744789
Ah I see. Thanks, that's nice then.

Where's our fyreslayer posters? How you guys feeling about this?

>>96744800
I'm a Fyreslayer guy, as I've already said, I don't really give a shit. The heroes being cut are some of my favorite heroes in the range, but it's not like GW is going to hunt me down and take them away, I just get to proxy them as whatever.

And no one is actually going to cry about Vulkites either going away or getting resculpts, obviously. Either way I can use my guy as proxies, it's not a big deal.

There's a guy over on TGA who's being dramatic about the whole thing, but I suspect that's because he's only ever played one army. It's a warhammer game, individual models get updated or cut, given time it's inevitable.

>>96744367
rip

>>96744831
Shockingly the banner guy is staying, I have no clue as to why.

>>96744831
Top left is the only notable loss

>>96744831
the scenery and spells too

>>96744867
I don't know if that's gonna be redone desu, I just don't think it's classified as a unit.

>>96744867
That's an assumption. Boole never mentions terrain/spells in general.

>>96744851
>Top left is the only notable loss
It's the best looking fyreslayer model in my opinion and why he goes when ugly shit like the exile stays is incomprehensible to me.
Fyreslayers are just fucking cursed

>>96744881
in what other occasions did he have to mention spells and scenery but didn't?

>>96744831
Yknow I'm going to miss the vulkites when they're gone. Don't get me wrong they look like shit and should get updated, but for aome reason I'm a little fond of them.
>>96744867
>>96744881
Be odd for them to randomly get rid of em when they've made an effort to give everybody spells and/or terrain this edition.

>>96744367
>Hearthguards
do people even like these more than the vulkites?

>>96744826
>There's a guy over on TGA who's being dramatic about the whole thing, but I suspect that's because he's only ever played one army. It's a warhammer game, individual models get updated or cut, given time it's inevitable.

I mean I have too many armys and barely enough time to play games because it's a weekend only thing and I have to mix in hobbying and playing. I wish I didn't have as many armys as I do desu.

>>96744898
>in what other occasions did he have to mention spells and scenery but didn't?

He provided huge lists of new units for Ogres and Nurgle and to a lesser extent CoS and never mentioned new Terrain/Spells for any of them even though they're all lacking at least one of the two and ever army has gotten them this edition if they didn't have em.
>Be odd for them to randomly get rid of em when they've made an effort to give everybody spells and/or terrain this edition.
The only realistic scenario where the Fyreslayer terrain/spells get cut is if they're replaced with new kits for the combined army, which is ultimately a sidegrade.

>>96744899
>Be odd for them to randomly get rid of em when they've made an effort to give everybody spells and/or terrain this edition.
The thing is that they're spells and scenery themed exclusively around fyreslayers, while the new soup might warrant something that reflects all types of dwarfs better.

>>96744932
The axes with chains feels a little phoned in but I kind of like the weird mouth flame weapons. They would be better if they had a large flame coming out of them.

>>96744932
I don't know if people like them more but if the basic unit looks like 20 guys doing poses like they shit their crotch drapes and are trying to charge without it going down their legs then I can only imagine I'd go for that first rather than the more elite dudes which have a duel purpose kit.

Vulkites can look good but you gotta jigger the arms and legs around a bunch otherwise they're about as customizable as plague monks. Ironically the best looking of the bunch of the Symmetrical guy.

>>96744968
>and ever army has gotten them this edition if they didn't have em.
spells and scenery are for pity-hero-tier updates, not for large release waves
chorfs didn't get them

>>96744980
Pretty much, no one thinks Hearthguard are an amazing kit but they clear Vulkites easily, and they're much more important as they represent your elite melee/ranged guys vs the Vulkites just being chaff.

No Warhammer Quest Darkwater today :( Really sad day

>>96745047
All days are sad

>>96745047
I just wanna see the modelssss, I wanna know what heroes and other shit we get!

>>96745047
They should have just shown a single model from it each week
I think they did something like that with BSF

>>96745124
Me too. I need to see the models!!! Fuck that nut-craker robots christmas thing (we are mid october, for fuck sake) i want my Darkwater now.

>>96745160
I spose going off cursed city logic the roster for the bad guys could be:

10 pestigors
5 blight kings (please god not 3 or some weird amount)
10... Cultist, guys...?
2 Nurgley-troggs
Big bad guy (maybe the big monster is his daemon prince form or something)
Nurgle Wizard (cult leader guy)
Beastman Leader
Some leeches or nurglings or generic little fodder dudes.

>>96745047
>>96744530
You'll see the box at the end of the month

>>96745199
You forgot skaven dudes

>>96744932
The chains are kinda weird but the ranged version is pretty fun. I mean it doesn't blow me away but they're alright.

Did our first game of Spearhead last night, Helsmiths vs Gloomspite. Was a close one, but sadly the Grots won with a final score of 19 to the Gobbos and 17 to the Helsmiths.
Hashut's lads are a blast to play and seem pretty damn powerful, they were able to hold on their own quite well despite being greatly outnumbered at all times.
My Dominator Engine performed like ass sadly, only killing one Troggoth before being torn apart by the other two but (perhaps unsurprisingly) the Tormentor Bombard was the MVP with not a single shot missed and being responsible for killing the in the 2nd turn of the match Loonboss.
The War Despot is a hell of beatstick as well, there wasn't anything on the table that wanted to get close to him with his Talisman of Obsidian and attack profile.

This week is lost for Warhammer Quest, or they can show models and things other days?

>>96745438
>The Skaven have been the most popular evil faction since the old WHFB days, hands down
I mean thats not really true but what did he mean by this?

>>96745448
That skaven sell a lot more than other evil factions in aos

>>96745465
>>96745448
>>96745438
Oh, this skub again. YAY!!!!...

>>96745465
No I mean since like, "maybe" post 7th edition skaven ever picked up any recognition in fb. I remember them being viewed as weird beastmen.

How do we fix AoS?

>>96745438
Yeh, because Undead don't count as "evil"

>>96745482
you either don't have good memories or didn't have good experiences

>>96745482
they were always great fun

>>96745465
I'm not seeing ossiarchs, how come?

>>96745399
Good to know anon, thanks for the writeup. They do seem pretty powerful and fun. Now get some paint on those dorfs!
>>96745438
How did pestilens choke so hard since 1e. New eshin is nice though.

>>96745438
I do not trust modern GW with new Eshin; the Underworlds Warband was ridiculously overwrought.

>>96744336
HECKIN WHITEFANG OH MY SCIENCERDE3EEEEE

>>96745465
While they are one of the most popular in sales, in no small part due to their combo starter boxes with stormcast, the reddit members is not a good metric to base this off of. Actual tournament entries put StD above them being the second most popular faction after Stormcast.

>>96745399
> Unpainted trash
No one cares

>>96745651
post your painted models with a timestamp

>>96745659
And you will post yours right after correct?
I ran into this issue over on /hhg/ where after posting MY shit they never bothered to post THEIR shit in return (even after multiple posts calling them out).
So if you won't put up in return why the fuck should I bother (ib4 you don't have painted models)

>>96744737
>>96744768
>>96744336
So what the fuck is the point of having AoS if they're just gonna make AoS factions into WHFB ones anyway?

>>96745682
Empire has halflings and ogres? Or any fantasy flair at all?

>>96745599
I remember somebody on here a few threads ago saying that the mods just kinda left so the whole sub got canned. Dunno if that's true though.
>>96745682
Aos in general is just there to provide a backdrop for idoneth

>>96745682
Imperial Guard isn't wfbh

>>96745682
because fantasy is going to do chinkshit instead

the real answer is that aos never had a cohesive and worthwhile creative direction

>>96745682
Some people like armies that kinda resemble armies.

>>96745758
>CoS was the only faction in the game that actually resembled a combined arms army
>GW thinks replacing elves and dwarves with slanteyes and assorted shitskins and imitating imperial guard which were a space fantasy imitation of the original WHFB empire is the way to go

>>96745777
yeah this will never not make me angry

>>96745693
They do have imperial dwarfs and ogres in tow currently, though I don't think they were still around in 8th edition.
That being said have halflings ever been mentioned in any serious capacity in aos? I know there's like off-hand mentions in bl stuff here and there, but is there anything, yknow, solid?

>>96745758
40 guys standing in 3 boxes, is not any more of an army than 3 boats and 10 guys, just more lame and repetetive

So uh, i tried the new Heroes of might and magic demo, and theres just straight up IDK there

>>96745797
>That being said have halflings ever been mentioned in any serious capacity in aos?
Don't think so, but there's a halfling-sized dude presenting a dish to Glutos Orscollion on his model. It's probably technically a homonculus like the archers have, but it's clearly a wink at halflings.

>>96744336
>All stunties
Wake me up when it's Death rumors

>>96745777
>>CoS was the only faction in the game that actually resembled a combined arms army
slapping on the same table kharadron, lumineth and stormcasts achieves the same identical rainbow vomit of disjointed model ranges pretending to be an alliance.

>>96745833
do they still have eyes

>>96745673
>I ran into this issue over on /hhg/ where after posting MY shit they never bothered to post THEIR shit in return
Same shit happens in 40kg. There's an unwritten rule there that to request timestamps you need to post timestamps. As a general rule, if someone demands your models, but doesn't post theirs, then they have likely lost the argument, and are looking for something to lash out at and deflect away from themselves. That said, the original anon you were shitting on stated it was his first game of spearhead, which is reasonable for him to not have a painted force yet. You're kind of a faggot, but not because you didn't post models when someone demanded you

>>96745465
I wonder how representative this is of actual faction popularity instead of people who just like to look at stuff.
>skaven almost as big as the top two combined
Sotek needs to get to work again.

>>96745797
Lexicanum says halflings were mentioned in Harrowdeep, Godeater's Son, and the Imprecations of Daemons.

>>96745601
>>96745651
Aye, we just finished assembling our Spearheads the night before our game. I intend to paint my Helsmiths up in the old Erebor colour-scheme from the previous editions of MESBG.

>>96745855
Cant see the models in the game that close, but all the heroes do

>>96745673
That's a long way of saying "I've no models and I'm a nogame fag" anon.

>>96745833
Cool

>>96745891
I post my painted models on top of my anime figurines all the time, I can't imagine the type of cowardice to not post models.

>>96745900
>Still no proof
Kys fag.

>>96745893
>>96745833
god a hero's game for aos would be neat. doubly so if the music was good.

>>96745908
I'm not the same anon. But lemee go get some models uhhhh, name a death model and I'll go grab it.

>>96745841
Except those are aos ranges that don't look like armies while cos was made of fantasy ranges that looked like armies.

>>96745914
I actually bought Stormground, becuase the basic combat remined me of HoMM (small hexagonal grid with a few units), but it's a very different beast with more emphasiz on unit customization than unit variety (you can equip multiple different upgrades/sidegrades for the unit, but there's only 3 "castles" in the game).
And worst of all, no resource/building element

>>96745934
>don't look like armies

What other unique takes that definetly have a meaning do you have?

That fucker is so fucking OP fuck that cunt

Alternative thread question:
(You)'ve managed to convince GW not to put stormcast in the starter set for 5th. Who do you put in instead? You don't have to adhere to the chaos-death-destruction cycle, but ideally you do have the classic elite vs horde matchup.

>>96745976
Bonerchuds with new elite units, a landboat that moves on little hands like Mortke crawler, vs Idoneth horde of different beasts and beastmaster on a giant crab

>>96745976
If they didn't already update Marauders Ossairchs vs horde STD would have been the perfect set.

>>96745976
Malerion and Joseon dark elves versus Slaanesh.

>>96745976
Kurnothi vs Nurgle.
"Siege of the Oak of Ages Past"
New WFB-inspired Wood Elf units (Eternal Guard, wardancers, glade guard, a Spellsinger hero + a unit of elite centaurelf cavalry) vs updated Plaguebearers, Pestigors, Nurgle Mounted Knights and a new mortal hero who can buff Pestigors and Knights.

I wonder if they released smiths specifically because it was a skaven edition

Jervis left at the start of 3rd edition and fanboys have taken over who just want more of the same despite that initially killing Warhammer Fantasy and the fact people can get more of the same in TOW already

>>96746111
You're mistaking rules writers for people who have any say on what gets models

>>96746120
He was the general lead of AoS too. Blanche headed the art department (retired also) and Kyme was in charge of fluff

More elite OBR vs more horde style Seraphon. That or maybe elite IDK of mostly sharks and eels vs tzeentch with a ton of horrors

>>96746231
>horned rat in the photo but no tzeentch
unacceptable

>>96745976
Seraphon vs Soulblight
>New Temple Guard and foot Old Blood, includes a Slann and Kroxigors
>New Vargheists and foot Wight King, includes a Vampire on steed, a brick of skeletons, and dire wolves
I don't know how much is usually put in these boxes or how many new things they debut with them. But this seems alright.

>>96745465
The Skaven sub has some overlap with fantasy too so it’s not a pure AoS subreddit. On their page now there’s a bunch of fantasy posts alongside AoS posts.

>>96743780
>that pic
Well now I wanna make a FEC character who like Gormayne sees beyond the Delusion but instead of sulking he thinks it's either awesome or just rolls with it because it amuses him.

Anyone got battletome scans they are willing to share? Specifically looking for KO and Helsmiths

Sounds fun. Bonus points if he even decides to try to clean himself a little by having actually nice armor and barding and tries to look a bit like a real knight.

>>96746356
KO was posted in a thread yesterday, check the archive

>>96746366
What if he intentionally hid his ghoulishness to gain trust and then he takes of his helmet and goes "BLEHH HAHA I WAS GHOUL THE ENTIRE TIME" and eats their faces off (it tastes like a honeyed ham to him).

>instead of sulking he thinks it's either awesome or just rolls with it because it amuses him.
That's currently Gormayne. He came around to thinking Ushoran is actually a pretty cool guy.

>>96746561
Which one is the warhammer model?

>>96745976
Damn that image got fucked up. Anyway if they didn't release in 3rd already I would've suggested std vs cities. Has the classic horde vs elite dichotomoty, has normal guys to root for, big fucking evil chaos guys with broad appeal (and are easy to paint), would've been perfect if they ever wanted to switch up stormcast.

Now that that's out of the picture, how about idoneth wave 2 : melee infantry edition vs that one "vampire coast sans vampires" death army that was rumoured a while ago?
Give idoneth some elite crab armour kroxigor sized dudes or something, and then face off against 60 zombie pirates. Fuck it we ball (underwater)
>captcha : gayxn

>>96746607
That would be so fucking cool and it could come with a terrain set that when put together makes a whole ass pirate ship

So you tried to make a Doghnut Steel Snowflake, and ended up with just another delusion.

>>96746789
Nta but I mean some shitty peasant who embraces the delusion because it drastically moves him up in the social hierarchy seems pretty cool

>>96746442

>>96746919
I'm rather happy with this forest base

>>96746919
not mine, but I thought this base did a great job imitating a high altitude view flying over an ocean.

>>96746990
Damn that's really good anon

>>96746990
That's a good forest base. I tried doing jungle bases for skinks before but they turned out ass.
Are those plants paper cutouts?

>>96747006
holy shit, a kharadron player mind if I ask you for your army list? I've been trying to work out where to go from having several random heroes, 2 ironclads, and 2 gunhaulers.

>>96746919
Maybe not the most impressive but I was really proud of making it look like my ghoul gargant was breaking into some ruins to kill and eat some guys. I thought it was pretty cute

>>96747070
Thats cool.

>>96747070
>oh fuck this giant is trying to eat me
>better shoot this toothpick into his shin!
Lel, cool base though regardless

>>96747057
The plants are gamersgrass, laser cut they call them. I don't know the exact material but it feels pretty durable, definitely more so than paper.

>>96747061
it's not mine, i've been working on putting my spearhead together and collect a kharadron army but I've yet to play or even really put a list together. I think somoene in the last thread linked some tourney results with a KO player that got second, you could look at that list.

>>96747131
Fug, I was the guy asking for the KO anon and I don't reckon I've seen anything. My best hope then is for Stormbringer to update then I'll just buy a bunch of 13 dollar Grundstock gunners to spam and then i'll have a perfectly suitable murdership list.

>>96746919
I wish I were more ambitious with my basing but I already take too long on my models as it is. Texture paste, slate tile chips, tufts, and the occasional skull or other bit is the life for me. Except for my IDK which have cork-sculpted flight stands.

Its a bit odd how only stormcast have a monopoly on dragons. I wonder if Malerion will bring some new kind of breed with his return.

>>96747194
This is my problem. Right now I'm kind of agonizing over how I want to base my Cursed City stuff when I get it next month, but I also tend to struggle with how I should base things in general. I think I'd like to try making some cobblestone roads for them and when I get going on the rest of my Deathrattle army have something of a wintery city vibe going for them.
I'm basically being a turbo autist about basing models I don't even have yet. Hell, I kinda want to paint up most of these little guys as servants for a necromancer, but I'm paralyzed by the fucking basing.

>>96747289
Not so fast
I also would like to see some more aos dragons. What can I say, just like em

>>96746919
I'm pretty lazy, but I like green basing.

I want to wake up from this nightmare, bros.

>>96747371
wow these guys look awesome

>>96747289
LRL are not the same as High elves, so I'm guessin their lore is different which is why they no longer have a monopoly on flying lizards. I'm really not a fan of the way they've designed stormcast dragons so I'm a little hesitant to see more of them given to other factions.

>>96747685
Literally the only reason I got the model. The little guys were more interesting than the Chaos sorceress and the 40k model.

Disappointed by Acolyte Globadiers only having one extra head, arm, and hand bit in the entire kit. It's a really poor value kit even for GW.

>>96747827
You need the meds because you post "oh my heckin science" like a lunatic every time someone mentions leaks in this thread
It's one thing to do it once but I've seen you do this at least three times so far

True, but it feels like a strangely lacklustre kit for a squad of 5 little rats. It's almost more offensive that they have those three extra bits than if they had none at all.
>>96747872
Countable nouns use "fewer", not "less".

We must have faith. We have had multiple reveals in the same week before, maybe they will show is something.

>>96748188
Just one more day anon, just one more day.

It's ironic that this is me now, despite trying to Tzeentchian before AoS was a thing

What models from other armies would make good additions or conversions as undead minions?

>>96748591
maggotkin stuff is kinda zombie-ish

>>96748591
Thats actually a hard one to think of. For me, at least.

>>96745465
I guess a lot of furries play AoS

>>96748634
Could also be a lot of furries use Reddit

>>96748591
Namarti being functionally soul stealing vampires with no eyes seems like the obvious pick. You coul also just do some basic stuff like cutting the heads off smaller units and replacing them with skulls.

>>96748591
One of the plague monk heads is literally a zombie half-skull face

>>96743835
I read that as "War Depot" and then my brain immediately went to "Oh, it's like Home Depot"
And Now I'm thinking of Home Depot chorfs

>>96745808
It's more of an army than two big dudes, a bunch of big dudes on pigs, a tree, a guy on a dragon, a bunch of naked retards, a skeleton on a rock, a school of fish, a snake, a fat guy in a chariot, or rayman looking retards with rocks.

>>96743835
Is that you'd votannanon

How are extremis stormcast faring currently?

If the new leak is accurate, I think I might quit AoS as a whole. Having my Fyreslayers that I put so much work and money and love into get shit on and the majority of my force squatted is downright demoralizing. Jesus Christ, I take a few days off of/ AoSG/ and I come back to the army I have played for the past decade having some leaker claim it is being ruined.

>>96744415
They're on their way

>>96749043
the squatted units all look identical and are easily proxied. you're supposed to paint the big angry babies, not act like one

>>96749346
Or I could continue playing and loving my army of a decade, instead of being told that my 90 Berzerkers (and potentially the rest of my army) are no longer usable in modern games.

Call a plumber.

>>96749421
Thats looks quite different compared with Silver Tower and Cursed City.
Do i see a mounted or centaur hero?

>>96749421
>No Blightking looking models
Trannies on suicide watch lol

Prophetess of the Lady, Questing Knight, Empire Greatswords(wo)man and a Dwarf Ranger.
This box was 100% an Old World release that was hastily rebranded after TOW did so badly and it became clear no one would buy an Old World branded game, you'll never convince me otherwise.

Wow there are people who actually like age of sigmar? You must be all sloptard amerimutts or something if you actually spend money on that fucking slop.
I might be a tranny but at least I'm not a fucking sad sub 85 iq age of sigmar enjoyer.

Thank you, you are very kind. Now, back to your own thread :D

>>96749531

>>96749421
>no Sylvaneth
I hate it.

>>96749421
I think the heroes outside the board looks like: a big one (an Ogor), something with a staff (maybe a druid), a kurnothi centaur or a mounted hero (oval base) and a tiny familiar/servant.

I dont know if the big fat bastard in the boardgame is the main one or one of the big fat plaguebearers at the sides of the cover. I think there are minis missing.

>>96749421
Nice AI image, it almost got me

>>96749526
the old world doesn't have marked chaos in its narrative, the questing knight has all the design cues of the cities of sigmar, the prophetess is fucking indian, and the team that does the warhammer quest boxes cannot use tow or hh as settings.

>>96749526
TOW did pretty good though. So good in fact, that many starter products were sold out for weeks or months. Can't really say the same about Domimion or Skaventide.

>>96749611
Some Underworlds warbands disappeared in less than 15 minuts, so it's clear UW outsells ToW by a wide margin

>>96749624
Not at my LGS. Here underworlds collect dust just like AoS products.

>>96744560
>I can't remember if Brets got out during the end times or not
Offscreened, I believe, but Alarielle was smuggling their souls out to a secret pocket dimension she set up. Allegedly they now stand as guardians of that realm, but I don’t think anything has happened with it since. Maybe Tzeentch destroyed it or something? It was always a footnote realm.
My pet theory is that the Celestant-Prime is actually Louen, not Karl.

>>96749611
>Can't really say the same about Domimion or Skaventide.
that's because gw produces way more of those

>>96749624
Those are scalpers clipping them to bits and reselling the minis to people looking for unique sculpts.
Nobody plays Underworlds.

>>96749421
its a book used as board?

>>96749664

TOW should never have existed. It should have stayed an oldhammer game like Mordheim or BFG. Safe from GW's foul current year touch.

>>96749681
>says the nogame

I can identify some miniatures.

>>96749531
Kek

>>96749681
Next level cope about being outdone by fucking Underworlds

>>96749683
You're right I don't really play 40k or AOS anymore, but why do you think I brought up Mordheim and BFG? I also play Warcry now and again.
>>96749711
Not cope, I have never seen Underworlds actually played. Everyone buys the boxes to use the sculpts in their AOS armies. I know like 4 Soulblight players that all picked up the Crimson Court for on foot Vampire Lords because they were fantastic sculpts

Blood Bowl gets more play than Underworlds.

>>96749743
Necromunda and Warcry, yes. But I figured most HH sales were for 40k. I know a guy who bought a bunch of Solar Auxillia to use as Imperial Guard.

>>96749743
I played Underworlds a few times irl. I have no idea how horde warbands are supposed to win when bonuses for killing are greater than support bonuses

Honestly praying the weird Halfling rumours for CoS some person posted here to be true.

>>96749886
there's no halfling rumor
only speculation

>>96749743
I play warcry using the 1ed terrain and box set more often than i play full aos, I'll take some pictures next time i play. It's really fast and fun. I'd really suggest giving it a shot because you can finish a game in less than 30mins once you and your opponent are familiar with your dudes. The aos warbands for warcry aren't super balanced but they're fun to list build with and just run a bunch of stuff you already have in a skirmish game

>>96749690
Looks big enough and I don't see many minis that strike me as special characters. I was on a fence about starting Nurgle army so it could be a good test run.

>>96749979
Not exclusive. And it doesn't appear to have legs

>>96746919
A little Knight I did a while back. It's not the most creative base, but I wanted to give him a backdrop (from some angles, I guess), with some mossy strands hanging form the dead tree behind him.

>>96749985
life magic and death magic don't mesh
and robes cover feet

>>96749043
No offense to your beloved dudes but I can't tell any of them, besides the guys riding dinos, apart from each other. Whatever they release in the future just say they're that, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Anyway you still have your cool dudes right?

>>96749043
Nigga, the heroes that are seemingly getting removed are downright identical to others that are staying and the only unit going away is the basic ass unit that's probably getting updated

You thinbeard

>>96749421
I know most people only care about the minis but man that board looks fucking lame compared to silver tower or cursed city layouts.
>>96749526
Tow doesn't have nurgle specific stuff though, doesn't really make sense. I think it's more gw trying to appeal to classic fantasy, warhammer quest aesthetics.
>>96749743
Lots of warcry and to an extent necromunda, not so much the other two
>>96749979

GW does usually follow up on potato cam leaks with real reveals, almost always. The only exceptions I can think of are for things that are ages away from being announced. Darkwater is a Christmas box, they were gonna show it soon either way.

>>96750442
I wonder if they were saving it for the early november reveals. Seems like the perfect thing to dripfeed in monday articles too.

>>96750474
Uh huh go ahead and redefine what a second wave means.

>>96750460

>>96750756
The center model there will always give my eyes a headache

>>96750756
Yeah, how dare they, now that they're gone we, the enlightened and based ones, can finally be open about these models having SOVL and having been unfairly unsupported because... reasons.

>>96750756
You're playing a modern GW game, anon. Squatting models and forcing you to buy new ones is half their business model. Do you have any right to complain about your fellow AoS players playing along with this scheme? You are the company you keep, after all. There's a reason both 40k and AoS players vehemently refuse to play older editions. I'm sorry your models are getting squatted. I'm sorry your fellow players are the way they are. It's not fun when things you like get destroyed.

>>96750756
I love Fyreslayers and always have, so much so that I started by buying one SC box and then immediately ordering two more because I was having so much fun with the models, but even from the beginning I've never though Vulkites were a good kit, exactly the way I loved Seraphon but but hated the old Saurus Warrior kit until the very end.

Replacing Vulkites (not even necessarily with new vulkites, but with basically anything) will be the best thing that ever happened to Fyreslayers, I'm actually pumped to see it.

>>96750756
Part of liking something is acknowledging its flaws not dying on its hill because reasons

>>96749421
I thought this was a fucking underworlds board, fuck man. Also I swear to god if it's like 4 blight kings and not some other unit I'm gonna lose my fucking mind.

This is a really funny post from the general that spent up to 8 years telling me not to like them

>>96751017
Also pretending that replacing the weakest part of your current range is a tragedy is stupid. Ironjawz losing the old Ardboyz for the new kit was a massive glowup for the army.

>>96751032
We'll always have kitbashing...

>>96750756
You'll have to explain what's good about them other than "They have extra bits of shields and warpicks!"

Are any of the fyre slayer kits even posable

>>96751093
They're about as posable as any older GW kit if you get creative with some sprue clippers, green stuff, and plastic glue.

If you're just building them out the box no modifications, you can kinda choose the angle the arms are pointed in...?

Age of Sigmar

>>96750756
based on his salt from earlier, he's almost certainly being facetious

>>96751141
Roll it the fuck back, take me back to the age of myth. We’ve already seen what the age of chaos was like with Warcry. Kinda.

>>96749421
Theory: this is merely the center of the board and it expands outwards.

>>96751195
Snorting some more hopium here:
>Games always start in center board, which acts as both the hub zone and the boss arena
>Players explore outwards to do quests and kill minions of nurgle
>Going out then coming in is like the tides of (dark)water rising and falling
>Box is too thick for one board and a bazillion push fit sprues with 0 options

>>96751195
I hope so, otherwise it's not much of a quest and more just beating the everloving shit out of each other in the hub area.

>>96751243
If all they're doing is whacking each other with sticks in a basement then they'll still be more true to form than whatever Underworlds has been doing for the past several years with its not-basement settings.

So the answer is no, they're not posable at all and you're the kit of retard who thinks changing the angle of flat-joining naked muscles works.

We're all voting dwarf, right?

>>96751388
Already voted for Inara.

>>96751388
I voted knight because knights r kool

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/rtcag66b/new-warhammer-quest-heroes-enhance/

So, we have to vote.

>>96749690
I was right about the numbers haha (the new image confirms thats the main ehil fat man

>>96751387
>>Forests alive and ravenous with the hunger of beasts
>trash
I don't know if I'd call Spitewood trash but I'm definitely not a fan of it.

>>96751341
Sorry, we like our models potty trained

>>96751379
I was cracking a joke you fucking nonce.

Aren't manticores super evil and Chaos-y?

>>96751388
I wanna see the monsters god damnit!

>>96751373
wait, this image IS actually better
you can make out the centaur with bow and the big red angry dude

>>96751413
ahhhh so that's the sylvaneth arrow rumor engine, I was figuring it was someone mounted. What the fuck is that orange thing...?

>>96751413
So I guess it's only 7 heroes with one having a companion
If they do expansions they better have more Heroes to Quest with

>>96751410
Thats WHF, in AoS they are mythical beasts like griphons

>>96751413
I hope thats not the only map/dungeon

>>96751433
And looks like less models for the bad guys but it's nurgle so they're probably more elite and seem to be bigger all around. The leaks about the boss guy being a daemon prince don't seem far off, he looks god damn massive.

>>96751413
One of those models below water girl doesn't look nurgle-y, it's kinda blue & gold

>>96751459
I think those are like nurgle cultists or something?

>>96751413
centaur? looks like a satyr with a pet maybe.

>>96751471
No this guy, near the horse

>>96751422
firebelly?

>>96751422
>https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/rtcag66b/new-warhammer-quest-heroes-enhance/
A walking flower? A Halfling? Fyreslayer? Bright Mage?

>>96751436
It's a book where each double spread is a different map, but they went with a hardback book instead of a ringsbound one

>>96751497
Looks like another plaguereaver, just more yellow than green in his sickly colours.

>>96751513
Thats really interesting. Im really looking forward to playing this.

>>96751373
>which of these lame fucks that you've basically already seen do you want to see?

>more reveals
Vote !!!!!!!!!!!

bren kinda reminds me of that little midget from berserk. not 1-1 but I cant really think of any other apt comparisons.

>Cursed City has a Kurnothi elf archer
>Darkwater has a Kurnothi elf archer
Would it have been too tall an order for the token elf to not be a Kurnothi archer? Maybe they could be a Khainite instead? Or use a hammer instead of a bow?

>>96751548
does ghyran have any notable khainites?

>>96751513
Could be interesting

>>96751563
Not especially, but up until a few minutes ago it didn't have any notable manticore knights either.

>>96751497
Yeah that's probably a cultist, looks like he's got a shield that's slightly green rusty gold? and a little axe. I think the skin is just a weird tone?

>>96751572
manticore knight is aqshyan

>>96751373
What the fuck are they doing, show the fucking models. I already am not going to play the game, and don't care about what's going on in it, if I don't see models I'm not interested.

>>96751563
the crone save hammerhal (aqsha) establishing the largest khainite temple there of any city of sigmar, and then flew to save the ghyranite crusade that was founding verdigris, so there must be at least some presence in verdigris

>>96751373
This is too much attempted hype for a box that's going to be as bland as Cursed City

>>96751587
>What the fuck are they doing
stalling because they cannot reveal stuff too early, if they do, they run the risk of knockoffs and of losing hype momentum

>>96751613
I really liked cursed city :( I thought it was really cool and had some fun models.

>Mage/Fighter
>Knight
>Paladin
>Fighter/Ranger(?)

I guess the rest of the models are going to magic and ranged support

>>96751613
>Cursed City
>Bland

Ragebait should be believable

>>96751613
cursed city had a better lineup of heroes and more interesting silhouettes among enemies.

This is just a start collecting box for nurgle players.

>>96751629
>>96751643
Good for you but I just like when WHQs are a bit more schizo and varied in both heroes and hostiles
I view these boxes as big sample platters of future minis

>>96751643
It's bland and also had the shittiest ending out of any quests. nothing you did even matter.

>>96751671
I mean, Nagash showed up and cleaned up? You got a few people out and the heroes aren't dead presumably. That's about as much of a win as you can get.

>>96751651
>This is just a start collecting box for nurgle players.
To be fair, couldn't this be said of CC and SBGL?

>>96751442
I've done a rendition of what I think is going on here based on the cover art and the mini.

>>96751683
yes, but sbgl are notoriously whiny faggots and retarded enough to miss on theirs out of dumb nitpicks

>>96751410
All normal fantasy creatures are Prde. Chaos gets mutants.
Sphinx vs Sphiranx
Centaur vs Centaurion
Etc.

>>96751671
>>96751681
That's true for everything in AoS though. Everyone is just a fucking soul that can be transferred, reforged, reanimated, return from the dead and what not, plus stakes are not there because "muh weird planes with cities that suddenly mean something". Who even knew about Exelcis before Kragnos? It's like Vigilus being this super important campaign in 40k because they needed a background for Abaddon's new mini.

>>96751422
I might get angry if it's another ogor. I like ogors but I don't want to see the heroes of Cursed City again in different hats. Get fresh with it.

>>96751717
>Who even knew about Exelcis before Kragnos?
We did, it was explored in one of the first novels to try a down to earth look inside of a free city, one of the few black library novels that get actually recommended around.

>>96751729
I was hoping for some ghur-zerker beast shaman or something?

>>96751413
this is the "centaur"'s ass

Hot take: A Verminlord is 100 times the hero s Stormcast is. In every piece of media released we see Stormcasts die like bitches to anything with a sharp point, and they get rewarded for it with superpowers and a super armor and what not. A Verminlord is literally a musclehead with a superfunctioning brain and the survival instinct of a genius, when he dies it actually means something, he actually risks his life. What do Stormcast even lose when they die? HURR MUH EMOTIONS bitch you're a fucking instrument of Sigmar, you're not a real person anymore.

>>96751708
Please anon, what are the nitpicks. I'm a SBGL player and i'd love to hear them.

>>96751765
a verminlord is a demon, when it dies, it respawns, your secondary ass is thinking of another type of skaven hero altogether, ratard.

Nagash is the true hero of the setting

>>96751831
Yeah, when he dies, he dies.

Fortunately for us all, he never actually dies because he's a good character.

>>96751765
Verminlords respawn. You are talking about a Clawlord

>>96751729
In fairness, Ogors are now even more closely tied to CoS than they were when Cursed City released.

>>96751791
>secondary
Dude I have 4rth edition WHFB miniatures still with me, just because my lead poisoned brain confused the two terms doesn't mean I started with AoS, I'm fucking 40.
>>96751858
Thanks I meant the Skaven general on the giant rat mutant thing.

>>96751717
>Who even knew about Exelcis before Kragnos?
Everyone? It's the main city in Ghur. Knight Excelsiors are one of the main SCE subfactions. It had a book about its Tzeentch cults

PESTILENS

>>96751729
What if it's a weird magic shaman ogor?

>>96751422
I think...that's not just an Ogor. It looks like a girl Ogor.

>>96751923
it's hard to tell with the blur man tits and fem tits on a big ogor look the same. But I'd take a lady ogor.

How is there no Sylvaneth in the Ghyran Quest?

>>96751933
It's not just the blurry tits that convinces me, it's the overall silhouette. If we're looking at a girl Ogor with long fiery orange hair, than the image starts to make sense. Imagine if it's a Firebelly.

>>96751912
Which book?

>>96751934
There's a sylvaneth in this one and also Cursed City though?

>>96751953
don't get my hopes up too high man, a cool firebelly lady to go hang out with the cursed city ogor would be a wicked sick power couple.

any wise-grots w/ a pdf of the gitz battletome itt? ive been struggling to find path to glory rules online

>>96751933
>id take a lady ogor
It seems more likely that she'd be taking you given the size

>>96751913
>crixxit
it's the second time he mentions that name and it's the second time I get this feeling of dejavu

do we have the name of the eshin skaven that was in silver tower? was it the same one that fucked up nagash's pyramid?

Also, breaking down the characters by probable role...
Two Melee tanks with the Flame Knight and the Sellsword
Two hybrid skirmishers with the Dwarf Ranger and the Kurnothi Archer Centaur
Which leaves...3 casters? We got the obvious Druid guy, the Water Priestess, and the mysterious maybe Ogor.

>>96751982
It's the rat belakor hired to bomb a silver tower and cause the chain reaction that made the cursed skies during broken realms.

>>96751913
Pestilens bros we're so back
>>96751982
He's one of the deathmasters from broken realms.... teclis i think?

>>96749637
>>96749725

We play Underworlds around where I live. Love it too, I've painted up almost all the warbands and only have Borgit and the Spitewood warbands left.

>>96752058
Forgot to attach pic :(

>>96752100
>No chest hair or bushy pits
Huh, all Ghouls are canonically twinks.
That's a bit shit...

>>96751982
>>96752021
It would be so fucking funny if he was the rat that caused a lot of events of the realms, and more, but nobody ever realises they keep hiring the same rat or that he's involved in all of those
>it was all me, sigmar
>I made the secret tunnel into azyr
>I sabotaged the black pyramid
>I bombed the silver tower
>I shoved a walnut in twinhorn peak

We have the druid, but what if the big red guy is a Firebelly (like others said before) in flames and the ogor teaser from last month was this character?

>>96752112
death magic canonically makes you lose your body hair, crotch and backs are the only exceptions because spines and genitals are the last focal points of life magic that keep a ghoul technically alive

>>96752144
aw fuck that might be the same gut plate.

>>96752147
If FEC ever release a buff, shaggy haired bear hero it might make me start playing them honestly.

>>96751974
Which edition, my friend?

>>96750009
>>96750034
It saddens me that people are so willing to roll over and spread their cheeks for GW to remove miniatures.
>>96751004
>Replacing Vulkites (not even necessarily with new vulkites, but with basically anything) will be the best thing that ever happened to Fyreslayers, I'm actually pumped to see it.
Bullshit. Destroying the identity of a decade old army for no good reason other than selling new miniatures is hideous.
>>96751152
This is one hundred percent accurate. If you do not like Fyreslayers, there are quite literally dozens of other armies. Why ruin something that many players love and enjoy? Why celebrate a faction losing miniatures when most players would scream and throw a tantrum if they lost anything in their own army?

Im sorry, but where are those guys? You cant tell me these roided plaguebearer, that look bigger than the "nublighkings" and have rocks in their backs are there. They are the same size as the rest of the minis??

>>96752241
On the board

>>96752132
>Rat has been the focal point of several major events
>Doesn't even know it and just likes getting paid to fuck shit up

>>96752265
where? the only big guys i see in the board are 1 nu-Blighking and the Boss Evil Fatman.

>>96752241
Maybe these guys? Though I think the guy on the right might be a beastman...?

>>96752241
the two things on the right, next to the maggot hag, one with a long axe, the other with a longsword
you can tell because the one on the left has a grey thing on him that can match the rock

>>96752241
is it not these two things

>>96752312
Shit maybe they're not plague troggs then and like some anons said just big plaguebearers?

>>96744367
So... nothing changes? Fyreslayers are legitimately so samey it doesn't seem like there's anything missing.

>>96752228
I don't really get what you're so upset about. If gw changes vulkites you can still use your old vulkites. In the same way that you can use your old sacrosanct hammer and shield guys as liberators, old saurus warriors as new saurus warriors, old clanrats as new clanrats etc. It's not a beasts of chaos situation

>no Death or Destruction heroes in Darkwater
>no DoK, IDK, LRL, SCE or Seraphon either
This is discriminatory.

>>96752348
>Destruction

Might be getting an ogor?

>>96752348
could be supplements later on

>>96752228
>It saddens me that people are so willing to roll over and spread their cheeks for GW
Funny, coming from a faggot who got into fyreslayers.

>>96752353
supplements and extra content with generic heroes or cursed city stuff would be fucking great alongside some actual expansions

>>96751383
>>Bren Tylis, The Renegade Saint
Saint of what?

Shit I guess it is a book, you can see the spine. That's actually kinda neat then. Something to save on setup time would be the tits.

>>96752388
it's an app game

>>96752388
Wait what if it's like a CYOA and based on your choices you go to page X or Y and have different areas to fight in

>>96752413
That would actually be pretty fucking cool.

>>96752378
Deesna, probably. Was mentioned in a recent white dwarf.

>Absolutely no motivation to paint
Aargh

>>96752388
>>96752413
wouldn't it be far more convenient to have the pages as separate tiles instead?

>>96752449
Yeah, this kills the option for a dungeon crawl.

>>96752449
hell if I know, but if it involves less setup time and the rules are easier I might be able to use this as a backdoor to my friends and then play the other quest games.

>>96752465
could be more like the OG then where you have pre-set scenarios to run through on various pages, and in theory could just change pages to "move through the dungeon"

>>96752388
GW books are the lowest quality shit I've encountered so this definitely doesn't bode well

>>96752449
maybe they're going more for a room clearing sorta gameplay rather than dungeon crawling? idk

>>96745438

what are you, fuckin stupid.

Valrak made a video on the Quest leak so we might get an early article

>>96752528
can he not?

Curse you fucking ratniggers

>>96752534
No not really

>>96752516
>>96752522
You're both retarded, skaven were always popular.
If they keep getting more popular it's because fanbases don't grow linearly but exponentially.

>>96752528
It's AoS leak, so I rather doubt Valrak made a video of it

>>96752528
Never mind he removed it as I was watching

>>96752528
We got an article. Unless closeup pictures of the models start spreading you're not getting shit.

More fucking skavens? We have enough of them.

>>96752521
No one said anything about Malerion who is a reputable rumourmonger, that's a random fag

I really wish the Christmas box for sylvaneth just had the terrain in it instead of drycha.
