Well they’re kinda order demons so maybe they’ll reinforce that.

You're 7 years late for that shit take.

Starborne surpremacy

>>96830984 (OP)
I remember this chap liking the taste of old shoes in the short story

Leak more Darkwater.

Considering how excited everyone seems what are some of the other good writers or books for sigmar?

>>96831053
*pees blood on you*

>>96831061
There was Reynolds, I cant really speak for the rest. Most authors for aos are scatter-shot, people are generally mixed on John French but for some reason hes loved in the 40k sphere so maybe check his cado books.

>>96831053
On it

>>96831061
Nguyen's chaos book seems to be prettt well received

>>96831061
I’m not a big fan of STD but Scourge of Fate and Godeater’s Son are great.

>>96831061
If Josh Reynolds, David Guymer or Noah Van Nguyen have their name on the cover you can usually expect that it will, at worst, be an entertaining read. I personally also like CL Werner's output but he's got a few titles I don't much care for. Anna Stephens also got some nice stories to her credit but only a single full-length novel in a collaborative series that seems to have been quietly discontinued.

>>96831043
Is this the same dude who went to the Cities of Sigmar fort to read the stars, and his boss thought he was a fuck up?

>>96831155
yeah

>>96831053
You’re telling me you don’t want drip fed models month on month?

>>96830984 (OP)
>Will the meme of lizardmen being bio-robot finally die this time?

It's a meme in the warhammer community, so no, it will be dragged out into the streets until nothing remains. And then people will make copies to do the same with.

So we have a decent idea of what the dorf, ogre and nurgle releases will look like. But what the fuck will picrel get?

>>96831490
We BETTER get
> archers
> Chariot
> Generic monster hero
> Ballista war machine

>>96831813
I just want them to add the seasons and shit back into the rules. Being able to mix and match subfaction rules with seasons felt flavorful and the faction pack completely threw that out the window.

>>96831863
If lizards were getting a significant wave of models I imagine their book would have waited for that.

>>96832010
Thats a real dumb conclusion to come to.

>>96830984 (OP)
Post lizards

>>96832044
Forgot pic

>>96832044
Sure. I like that white Carnosaur a lot, anon.

>>96832034
Are you saying that because you want a significant wave of models for lizards or because you think there's never an association between novel releases and model releases?

Can you soulbind a skaven and force it to be nice? Can you torture them with kindness?

>>96832127
The latter.

>>96832159
no
no

Thoughts?

>>96832159
>can I force water to not be wet?

>>96832208
No mages is a vibe. palladors might hard carry you at least.

>>96832159
Literally me when approached by a minority

>>96832127
>never an association between novel releases and model releases
Nta but they have never released a unit to go alongside a book. Maybe a character or two like callis and toll but never ever a standalone unit for one of the flagship games

>>96831490
>mortek ranged troops
>big ranged guy/guys ( 4 arms! 2 bows! Shoot two niggas once! Shoot one nigga twice! )
>a big bone mf

I'm hopping pic rel was a one off and we get something a bit different for the base ranged troop. I liked the idea of having very advanced almost modern looking compound bows but even crazier, on dudes with massive arms to account for the draw pull, or hell just give them multiple arms.

>>96832364
This won’t happen, GW are utterly opposed to doing anything interesting with the ‘amalgamation of bones’ concept

>>96831004
Based. Changing Seraphon visually to be more star child like opens up the door to bring them back into TOW where they can be flesh and blood lizardmen.

>>96832433
go back

>>96832364
>multiple/bigger arms for bow users
it isn't really part of their aesthetic, but it would have been cool if they had weapons made of bone built into them. Like bone sword arms or a big fang mace or something.

Gitmob would be my favourite army if they were a little humourous outside of the artillery
They just seem so boring when you look past the Snarlfang.

>>96832471
Don't coddle them. The snarlfangs themselves are also boring.

Now that the dust has settled, why did the HoH flop?

>>96832471
I think the wolves being more important than the goblins themselves is funny, but yeah it does lack some more explicit character.

>>96832496
I wonder if it's the same fucking autist posting this shit every time

>>96832502
It is. I think hes just mad that /twg/ and /wfg/ are both slow rn.

>>96832471
Rippa Snarlfang are a good example
Half naked and dwarfed by the mount with hodgepodge equipment. That's way more interesting than large boring green Mongolians

>>96832471
snarlfang is so weird to me. You already have squiq riders and spider riders which feel much more thematic to gitz but then they also get to ride wolves? I think they would have felt more at home with kruelboyz

>>96832502
It is
He keeps using the same file format screenshots of the same third worlder shop app

>>96832496
They’re just a worse version of both the old and forge world aesthetics, they just look like angular WOW villains.

Also
>using your last 20% of battery to post this

>>96832511
>You already have... spider riders

If seraphon can get a novel, surely that means tzeentch can get one too right? hahaha...ahhhh...maybe I'd be better off writing one myself.

>>96832502
>>96832506
>>96832518
Lol he stopped posting for a while after some guy downloaded the app and pointed out that on his shitty app the "600 limited sets" includes individual kits and shit. Hilarious that he's back to posting but without the number now lel.

>>96832502
DESU that is some next level virgin incel behaviour

Remember Slambo?

Are there gonna be reveals on the tomorrow or do we wait till Nov 5

>>96832587
probably not. They'd say when a stream would be/

>>96828512
>Lumineth are Greek and Chinese
That's a wild combination. Someone should figure out what culture every faction is derived from. It'd be interesting to know what GW used in making the new Cities aesthetic, Soulblight, Idoneth, and Ossiarchs. What the hell culture are the skeletons from?

>>96832587
Nov 5 is Kislev reveal. That's why they rushed the marauders seemingly out of nowhere.

is that listing for game specialist still up for gw? I remember someone talking about it here a couple days ago but it seems to be gone or I just cant find it on their website. Maybe im just not seeing the right corpo lingo.

>>96830984 (OP)
If there's one thing I appreciate AoS for, it's giving the lizards more personality than they had in Fantasy. Sure it's still mostly Skinks doing the interesting stuff since the Saurus are too autistic for personalities and Kroxigors are barely sapient, but it's a good move.

>>96831155
Reminds me of that one Skink who was marked albino for greatness and it turned out his great purpose was to kill a whole Chaos horde by getting killed and eaten and poisoning the entire tribe. Mundizuma's Revenge indeed

Speaking of HoH
Anybody have suggestions for a good basing scheme for them? I was thinking just crackle paste and paint them like they're on volcanic/scorched earth

On the one hand I wanna go with bedsheets, on the other hand classic skeletons are also neat
choices choices

>>96830984 (OP)
The protagonist is a they? Are stinks genderless?

>>96832698
Lizardmen are totally sexless because they are born from magical spawning pools
Humans might call them he or she but they don't themselves have a concept of gender

>>96832675
The showcase models have a bit of variety between them.

>banned for wanting greatswords again
Fuck my chuddy life. Are Ironbreakers worth bringing as an aux unit or should I spend for a hero?

>>96832723
Thanks anon, that makes sense

>>96832731
Ironbreakers are better in 1.5 but you still probably don't want them over Longbeards.

>>96832675
Try rocks and green slime.

>>96832739
They are cheaper, but that 4+++ is pretty tempting

>>96832680
Skeletons would probably be rather uncomfortable to sleep on, I think bedsheets are common for a reason

>>96832583
Yeah what about him. Remember when gw remastered him.

>>96832044
This is the only lizard I've done recently. I need a better picture setup.

>>96832811
Why leather boots for Chaos Warriors? Why not armored greaves and sabatons?

>>96832624
>Cities
that's a tough one because really all specific cities have different cultural inspirations, but the blanket for them is based on literal cartoon drawings, they're a parody of a parody. Marginalia is the root inspiration if I really had to say what core thing it is.
>Soulblight
something slavic, someone here is either a nut for soulblight or slavs in general and Ill just leave that to them eventually.
>idoneth
take your pick between Sea peoples or Atlantis. Ones a concept the other is something I never bothered studying into.
>Ossiarchs
something eastern. I'd say persians, but when I see the necropolis stalker I get really fucking annoyed wondering why they have what seems to be an ashura reference. So maybe some Japanese, idk.

>>96832471
>if they were a little humourous outside of the artillery
their chariots crash and burn or burn and crash at a moment's notice because they carry explosive magic on stuff made of woven twigs, and this is a feature, not a bug
the chief's chariot has 2 jars in the back, one with moondust, the other with sun-charged shit, which get released together to react and give the chariot literal rocket boosters
the wolf is the guy in charge, the fat guy is just a patsy that he chooses whenever the last one dies
the bigger wolves have to be ridden in tandem because in order to tame one you need to raise it from when it's a cub and requires 2 parental figures
the shaman is a madman on a pole because he thinks that makes him closer to the sun
their average random scrap is polished to absorb, store and unleashe hysh light, which is a trick the lumineth couldn't do until teclis babysat them
they don't follow the sun because they worship it, they want to fucking kill it and steal its shit

I am genuinely confused. I thought the diversity measures were a GW wide thing. Why are Darkoath so diverse while fantasy Darkoath get to all be european/viking. Why the double standards?

>>96830984 (OP)
>another book from perspective of black woman of color from city of sigmar witnessing some seraphons
can't wait

>>96832839
It would hurt his soles on the march

>>96832698
lizardmen don't reproduce sexually, they spawn fully formed from magical pools
their language isn't gendered, they have no real concept of sex or gender when it comes to themselves, only for animals

the skinks try to pick up on the linguistic norms of the other races when they're tasked to interact with them, there's an example of a skink in the rpg that ends up referring to itself as a she simply because the humans around it assumed it was a female because it had the feminine role of taking care of their baby dinosaurs like a mother would

>>96832839
They're wearing the leather over the armoured boots.

Also it's because boots have a larger footprint, or at least can be modelled as such, contributing to their heavyset silhouette.

>>96832843
>So maybe some Japanese, idk.
they've got far eastern stuff especially if you look at katakros's bodyguard

>>96832858
fuck yo AoS

yeah, maybe. makes me wonder if those rumored bow men ushtabis are gonna be using some kind of heavy bow like what the japanese adopted.

forgot the pic.

LEWD LORE QUESTION

So Bull Centaurs are all male? It would be interesting if we got a female version of them in future.

But male Bull Centaurs are all favored children of Hashut, a god of literal domination.

So do Bull Centaurs have sex with normal Chaos Dwarf women? Or are beautiful and tight elf and human female slaves brought to them to satisfy their needs? Maybe even Hedonite women to spice things up?

After all, their every desire is tended to in lore.

>>96832978
lumineth have the asymmetrical bow

>>96832985
I'm not 100%, but I thought there was some lore tidbit about the centaurs being magically transformed chorfs

>>96832988
Damn, that is true.

>>96832985
they don't have sex, no, they're gelded

new bull centaurs are birthed by normal chaos dwarf women completely at random

>>96832988
>3 top strings
what the fuck

>>96833045
This is gws attempt to make up for all of the models with bows with no strings modeled on them.

>>96832978
Conquest jumped on these fuckers

>>96833008
Imagine being born as twins and your brother gets the bull blessings and you don't and are eternally mogged by his superiority

>>96833056
I find it hard to imagine a dwarf mother could carry a second dwarf in addition to the bull centaur.

>>96832988
The multiple strings is so stupid

>>96833075
I want to believe it's meant to evoke a harp, making them look a bit artistic, harmonious and elegant

>>96833075
who cares, it looks cool as fuck

>>96833054
>Conquest got spite heroes and tree dragons before sylvaneth did
James waited too long.

>>96833075
More strings = more power = more required draw strength = cool. It’s not that serious, little bro. Also what that anon said about the harp.

>>96832974
Excellent, Saved.
Exactly what I was thinking, just multiple arms loading and loosing arrows like a shotgun/machinegun.
>>96832397
>>96832444
I also think they aren't really using the OBRs full potential, really an artist is limited only by his imagination and whatever manager is over him. The very first time I saw the mortek crawler I thought oh shit it's like those Kinetic Beasts but it's a whole faction of them and they're alive like in Humanity Lost, but then I saw it's just a bunch of legs moving.

Hopefully they let some artists who love bones off the chain with some new models. Until then I'll dream of new stuff.

>>96833054
I might get this, it feels at home in tzeentch

>>96832839
In the name of STYLE you caveman!

>>96833008
>new bull centaurs are birthed by normal chaos dwarf women completely at random
Not new lore, that's literally been the way it is since the earliest piece of Chorf lore you lorelet bitch.

>>96833245
I said nothing about it being new lore, you illiterate schizo.

>>96832858
Because Darkoath are spread across the mortal realms while the Marauders are largely Monocultural.
It's not that complicated

>>96830984 (OP)
After sooo many years, finally, the first Lizardmen book? Wtf were they thinking for all these years.

>>96832978
>>96832988
>>96833054
We can always go bigger.
Though I'd do something crazier with the bow/bone amalgamation. I dig the kimono though.

>>96831061
There's only Guy Haley - the Drekki Flynt books are fun, Prince Maesa is a good book. Hamilcar is also good, and Gitslayer was fun. That's about it.

>>96833126
no it doesn't because it's asymetrical. It's not doing anything, at least if there was 3 on each side there would be the illusion of more strength behind the bow pull, as it is it just doesn't make any sense.
>>96833213
based fellow humanity lost enjoyer.

>>96833333
ok but make the bowarm a spine and keep a grinning animated skull on top

>>96832858
>cut number of bodies to maximise the kit interchangeability, having fewer bodies than a horde kit reasonably should
>Norsca originally had gender specific kits so a mixed unit wasn't as necessary
Everything prior has been business as usual if not moreso considering the prominence of women in Cathay, so I can't imagine this is a new direction.

>>96833213
>some artists who love bones
In that case he should be working on Soulblight, because OBR barely even look bone.

>>96833338
Anon. I’m begging you to think just once. I promise it won’t hurt.

>>96833344
That helps spot enemies from afar and yells "BOOM HEADSHOT!" for every hit.

>>96833360
it also taunts the archer when he misses

>>96833352
them going to the same spot I kind of hate. I get it's supposed to be a harp but I'm just not a fan

>>96833351
I get what you mean since they do more just the aesthetics of bone rather than just bone, I guess its easier to make it their own.
What I meant an artist can take a lot of inspiration from real life. Mix, mash, fuse together with the sense this was created by an independent mind totally bound to create living constructs with a dedicated function. The sky really feels like the limit.

>>96833424
Wrong image.

>>96833069
>>96833056

The tome says the chorf mothers frequently die birthing the bull centaurs, so another baby would likely either be killed in the womb, or die during childbirth too - and mom would be extra screwed.

I’d read a book from a POV of a chorf with a bull centaurs brother, though. Would be interesting. Hell, a chorf POV book in general would have a lot of potential. BL capacity to write it, though…

>>96833481
>a chorf POV book
I wouldn't be surprised if it's already been written but will be held back for another eight months from now because BL and GW can't coordinate their release schedules.

>>96833502
It’ll be delayed and incorrect because the author would be working off earlier drafts of the faction lore.

>>96833370
That seems more like a nighthaunt thing. Ossiarch who underperform simply get their soul(s) permanently demoted to being a horse's ass or some such.

>>96833481
I'm annoyed they're shying away from the hobgrotz being slaves lore, because a book from the perspective of a subjugated hobgrot working in service of some big general trying to undermine him and eventually escape would be awesome.
>he's just using the whip to motivate his fellow vassals guys, he's definetly not whipping out of line slaves!

>>96833424
They haven't gone far enough in the bone crafting. This thing is by far the most interesting model in the range. It's visually boney, but it doesn't have anything about it that would be natural. Compared to a lot of the regular units that just look like armored guys who could be made of just about any material. I mean, I like the idea of the Grievous knockoffs when they're not retardedly holding a two handed weapon in both of the same side arms, but there's nothing about them design wise that really screams "these guys are fucked up skeletons."

>>96833508
>>96833502
BL really needs to have some guest authors. Pay a stipend and have the type of authors who just crank shit out to come and write some shit. Not like BL authors have a good grasp on the lore they right about anyway for the most part. Brandon Sanderson could probably shit out a trilogy in the time it takes these BL authors to write a single book.

AOS as a setting would be the perfect setting for something like Elric, man. Just find an author who gives half a shit and lay off the Branding(tm).

>>96833520
He needs a book so badly. I love this man. His suffering is one of the funniest things GW has written. Long live the Cuck King!

>>96833551
ironically, I think the artillery piece actually shows off the bone crafting stuff the best, having a bunch of centipede bone feet and being one massive bone supported by smaller support bones. The setting already has giants, they should use more giant bones for weapons and armor and things, it would look cool.

>>96833538
GW are British, this isn't slavery it's normal class relations

>>96833560
GW routinely hire new talent for shorts before bringing them aboard as regular commissions. 3rd edition ended with a new batch of them

Hedonites should have a prayer lore.

>>96833601
I cant see people who are to into themselves to genuinely show devotion to a god. I mean unless they're enthralled, then I guess that's something else.

>>96833560
The branding takes me out of whatever immersion I might get into so often. I feel like it’s a management mandate on the authors to refer to units by their inventory system name when they’re being mentioned.

>>96833538
Amazing how kruleboy hobgrots wear less yet seem to do way better.

>>96833608
There's 3 kinds of Hedonite, anon.
>Godseekers
>Pretenders (usurpers of Slaanesh)
>Invaders (business as usual, Slaanesh will show up eventually)

Prayers would totally fit for 2 out of 3 at worst, and it would help push the narrative of Slaanesh reaching out of imprisonment like they did when the Twins were dropped.

>>96830984 (OP)
Anyone have this guy's previous short story? I irrationally hate having to buy pdfs off the Black Library site but I loved his 4vsrj0k book.

>>96833622
Kruleboy Hobgrotz have hand grenades, they have less coverage but seem to have better gear somehow. Annoys me too.

>>96833652
Then again it explains why several veteran grots are missing limbs

building skaven as my first spearhead really warped my expectation of how many models spearheads usually come with when building 12 infantry and a walker and an artillery piece is a complete HoH spearhead

so I looked into this and I gotta say the Kharadron are so silly and goofy just a bunch of dwarfs floating around with balloons. kinda made me want to get a few

>>96833665
>Seeing the old NH Spearhead is 34 models
>All 34 start on the table

Spearheads are crazy. My first was Cities and I thought that was a big list at 17

I bought a Stormbringer thing from Hachette last week. I never received any email confirmation from them or any indication that the order shipped. For anyone US-based who bought from them, how long did it take you to get your orders?

>>96833652
>>96833661
One of many reasons I’m just using slittaz as a proxy for Vandalz. Main thing being slittaz are cheap as dirt and fuck paying GW for 20 vandalz (65 fucking usd retail) when you can commonly find slittaz, which are barely distinguishable as different and are on the same bases, at 10 bucks per 10. Ludicrous.

>>96833727
there's no attempt to blend them with fyreslayers

>>96833712
I really thought it wouldn't be that easy. Thanks lad.

>>96833729
I'm not sure which I prefer. I like the one or two vandalz that have the proper droopy caps. Post models when you get yours.

Any hopes or expectations for tomorrow?

>>96833577
Honestly part of the problem, potentially. Pay some actual talented writers to write compelling stories and enrich the setting in a reasonable (and business-aligned) timeframe. Release the book alongside the new releases, use the author as cross promotion.

But no, keep paying hacks and college grads to write garbage stories that very few people even buy in the first place. GW needs to spend some of their fucking money, lord knows they have plenty of spending and investment capital and they raise their prices every goddamn year. At least make the ecosystem we’re buying into interesting.

>>96833615
What, you don’t like reading about characters whose tabletop equivalent might as well be bolded and underlined every time they appear? It’s just written in such an unnatural way to force the language.

>>96833759
They literally just announced a book written by an award winning author.

How do I convince a big Stormcast lady to give me a blowjob?

Ossiarch females have tits made of human skulls

LEWD LORE QUESTION

So Bull Centaurs are all male? It would be interesting if we got a female version of them in future.

But male Bull Centaurs are all favored children of Hashut, a god of literal domination.

So do Bull Centaurs have sex with normal Chaos Dwarf women? Or are beautiful and tight elf and human female slaves brought to them to satisfy their needs? Maybe even Hedonite women to spice things up?

After all, their every desire is tended to in lore.

>>96831061
Even if AoS wasn't gy and retarded there would still be no good books because black library is cringe shit under all circumstances.

>>96833831
It is canon and I am going to comission a artist to make a high quality 15-20 pages comic showing decadent opulent stable like palaces where Bull Centaurs live per lore, sexually ravaging various beautiful sexy tight elf, human and dwarf slave women.

Bull Centaurs are children of the Bullfather, and those women will grow addicted to their potent members and seed.

Also, I have a idea for a Anointed Sentinel to fuck Hedonite women while chanting Hashutite scriptures.

Any good recommendations for a artist. I might even share the work here once it is done.

>>96833831
I'm holding out hope for Cow Centuars with huge Hashut blessed milkers.

Daughters of Behemat when?

>>96833828

Nope!

I purposefully ignored everything about Darkoath until I saw the new marauders, now I'm interested but I heard Darkoath are kind of shit in game too.

Do they serve any real purpose in StD? Chaff doesn't seem all that necessary when you already have affordable bricks like warriors and knights.

>>96830984 (OP)
I bought too much and now I feel I’ll never finish my backlog. I have 37 minis to go.

>>96833982
>Make an active effort to keep all models segregated into their own settings
>Make a kit so cool that AOS will 100% poach it for STD
GW should just be chill and expect and encourage people to take models from HH/TOW and use them in 40k/AOS.

>>96834062
They really should, marine players bought 30k stuff in spades when it was fully legal during 8th

>>96834062
It helps that they're 100% WYSIWYG, are spiritually the same units, are in scale, come in the correct unit sizes and will fit on the right bases no problem.

>>96833982
how many marauders did GW churn out

>brand's oathbound
and now
>norscan marauders

>>96834100
None of the Warcry warbands were ever really meant to replace marauders in AoS, though they tried for one battletome.

Kairic Acolytes and Blissbarbs are definitely marauder equivalents, but they would still function alongside baseline marauders as their magic/archer support units.

>>96834100
Enough for marauders to be an entire faction on their own evidently.

>Painting Mortisan Elite box
>finished the Guard and Stalkers
>now I have to paint the Morghasts

>>96834100
Untamed Beasts should've been expanded alongside Iron Golems, with a few monsters expanding some other cultists like a mutant spider or snake

>>96833008
Gelding them would reduce their at. Seems like a terrible idea

So now that Fantasy is back, what's the point of playing the derivative copy when you can play the classic?

>>96834709
Squares are for fags

>>96834709
If I want to play a game with squares I’d be with your mother.

why didn't stormfiends get refreshed with the skaven release

>>96834709
Neither game wants me to have a full fucking roster!
>AoS: No giant rats, rat swarms, packmasters, on-foot plague priests, or gutter runners
>TOW: No verminlords, stormfiends, or rat ogres with guns

>>96834831
Because they are brand new and look great

>>96834831
Too modern, too high fantasy for tow to want. Endtimes model too. It’s honestly fine for what it is.
>>96834840
>he wants swarms
I kinda do too but for that to happen he needs to reintroduce summons and that’s both a bitch to balance and it always fucking hurts someone’s wallet. People are already bitching that they have to buy endless spells as it is.

Should I buy an airbrush to paint a lord of change, or can I get away with brushing it?

Anybody have suggestions for a black crackle paint to use as an alternative for mordant earth?

>>96834870
Depends what you want the airbrush for

>>96834853
>brand new
they're like 11 years old

>>96834709
both games are to have vastly different art directions
if you are TOW only kind of guy, you should view AoS as protecting you from "wowification" in art direction.
As many have criticized that has meant AoS looks more like World of Warcraft (its the most popular fantasy game of all time, no shit their artists and marketing team are gonna use that in their mood boards)

GW being expected to make sure the games look distinct from each other lets TOW stick to their roots so AoS can push more into pure high fantasy stuff

>>96834938
And they hold up.

>>96834831
Speaking of
why the fuck does the spearhead box come with the old grey seer still lmao

>>96834952
It’s a sign that they aren’t letting go of skaven anytime soon.

>>96834709
Because AoS is more fun

>>96834956
It's just bizarre since it uses the new clanrats
that released in the same box that introduced a new non-shit grey seer sculpt lmao

>>96834952
building that fucker feels like a puzzle
it does not fit together in an immediately obvious way

I think a Death hero who swings around a coffin would be cool. Maybe with a new faction of recently deceased people who desperately hunt souls to replace their own lest they be reaped by Nagash and tormented in far worse ways than they currently suffer. Like a reverse FEC where they're horribly aware of their undead nature but try to appear as alive as possible. Also the recently-departed thing could be neat where they cover up obvious wounds or use the very weapons that killed them.

>>96834952
its because the new grey seer shares a sprue with the telescope foot hero rat forgot his name in Skaventide

>>96834709
literally every aspect of tow is an insane chore

>>96835281
> Maybe with a new faction of recently deceased people who desperately hunt souls to replace their own lest they be reaped by Nagash
isn't this more or less the lore for the Namarti? they have to raid other order cities to get souls so they don't die?
>death hero who swings around a coffin
I wouldn't hate this

>>96832159
GW seems to have the Brian Jacques view of rats

>>96834185
How come? They look cool, I'm an undecisive fuck who can't pick between the two spearheads and these guys are a good selling point for the elite box.

how quickly do the AoS christmas boxes sell out compared to the 40k ones
do I have to plan on waking up early to grab this skaven one

Ya know what I wanna see, just for discussion: wild west faction.

Doesn't necesarily need to be straight western but like dusters, guns, could be from the great parche or deserts of shyish. Even cooler, weird west undead western factions that were lost colonies of the cities of sigmar who came back from ancient mystic energies. (Native american shit, could even have mystics helping them)

It's probably too out there but it'd be neat.

>>96835550
Some go quicker than others. These probably won’t be gone too quickly if they’re $250.

>>96835578
This isn't Dungeons and Dragons, my friend. If you want that, you'd better go here.

>>96835620
Man there's magical flying dwarves and armored knights with rocket launchers, in what universe would mystical native magic enhanced sharpshooters be too out there.

>>96835620
Sorry for the typo, what I meant to say is, get out of here.

>>96835578
Native american is a big no no for some reason and gunslingers are too modern. I think a subfaction in the style of Grim Dawn could work for CoS, you've got the west, gothic, guns swords and magic mixed together. But I'm not seeing a whole faction.

>>96835625
The cowboy does not fit into this universe

>>96835635
That "cowboy" really fits into this universe.

>>96835578
>>96835620
>>96835625
It wouldn’t be entirely out of place but at the same time, I can’t see it being entirely fleshed out. It’d be a neat Warcry band I guess. And cowboys do embody some level of grit that’s appropriate for warhammer.

>>96835635
I mean same effective concept, just different hat. Bummer on no native american stuff because if done right there's some sick ass stuff to be seen. More mysticism from the cities end of things. But having a little spinoff with some more elite skirmisher type units with more gunpowder would be pretty neato.

>>96835652
They should be grimdark, very grimdark and not a living stereotype like those in Dungeons and Woke

>>96835645
i feel as though that cannon would be stuck pointed at the ground

>>96835545
just get one and then the other. theres no redundancy between the boxes, so no harm in getting both.

as for which first? the older one is more likely to dissapear sooner i would think, and it also offers more models to figure out your scheme on and a more balanced force to play. though the newer one will be faster to get on the table with fewer models to paint and faster to play.

>>96835657
Chamonix lizardmen could be a fun take where all the dinosaurs are magical golden constructs

>>96835687
Well shit thats incentivizing me more since theres only 3 boxes in the closest LGS with decent discounts.
Now I need to decide on a paintscheme and then not regret it.

>>96835583
The Squigalanche sold out immediately

>>96835550
At least one was on the shelves at my LGS until September.

>>96835887

>>96835811
Isn't chamon virtually uninhabitable due to everything being made of metal

>>96835811
we already have a chamon subfaction of lizardmen, they even live at the edge of the realm
their gimmicks are having a lot of magitech engines and artifacts, having a lot of monsters, and augmenting said monsters during the spawning stage with realmstone spices

>>96836099
Kinda, if you're an outsider almost everything in there is toxic, if you are a native you have tolerance for the local stuff, but in any case not everything is made of metal and cities are often built near realmgates, they always have some form of access to goods from azyr, ghyran or ghur.

Lizardmen adapt to a realm when they become coalesced, or don't care about mortal concerns when they're starborne, and in any case have enclosed biospheres in their own temple ships.

>>96836096
Hell yeah brother
In all seriousness I think >>96835657 would probably be a relatively straightforward scratchbuild. Might try my hand at it when I have a bit mors time

I haven't read enough into it to know if they're going to launch more of their ranges into plastic kits, but it seems likely

Lizardmen were cool as just Aztec dinosaurs, adding the tech and space angle is fucking gay is just the GW inability to play anything straight

>>96833008
>>96833885

Battletome has been shared here, nowhere is it said that Bull Centaurs are gelded.

Also, it just goes against their entire concept, they are favoured bull bodied children of the Bull god, Hashut. Bulls have been the most consistent symbol of masculinity and male sexual power since the dawn of time. Take a look at Mesopotamia, ancient India, Iran, Greece, Egypt.

>>96836499
The old one tech and space shit has been part of lizardmen since 5th edition, and arguably their high tech stuff goes back to 2nd. They've only been pure aztec lizards in first edition when slann were slaver emperors or some other weird shit.

>>96836507

Uh, did you get mixed up here? I'm not talking about hobgrots there.

>>96837850
Nope.

>>96837838
yes, there's no current model with guns which means they can never have guns it's that simple prior to vandals I wouldn't even expect hobgrots to ever use shields

>>96837809
>>96837838
>>96837860

it doesn't fit them, try something else

>>96837881
yeah like hobgrot bosses didn't fit them before 4th edition it's just common sense

>>96837600
I really hope they retire the Mortarch kit soon. I fucking hate their mounts. Neferata would look much better on foot or on a serpent. Give Mannfredd a dragon or something. Arkhan can keep it since it was a gift from Nagash directly and he's at least somewhat involved with the OBR.

>HoH have guns
>not of that kind

What? Not familiar with HoH lore, but they do have blunderbuss guns?

>>96837450
Not a HoH fan, but this take is beyond retarded and you know it.

>>96837661
What if hobgrots rode on pairs, one to shoot the guns and one to load the guns? My thinking is, right, that they're small as fuck so they'd need to work in coordinated pairs to keep the volley of shitshot up without letting go of the beastie's reins lest they get knocked off and chewed on. Meanwhile morks ride solo on larger dogbeasts and can use larger muskets

>>96837904
>Arkhan can keep it

Is it silly to want gigantic Arkhan, like he has the OBR build him a similar giant body to Nagash. If not some giant skeleton dude holding him. (I remember an old stupid mod from total war that specifically had a statue of sigvald carrying sigvald, that concept still is pretty neat.)

>>96837887
>archi is 3rd and shitlakor is 2nd
Fucking grim that people like those models, at least ushoran took 1st place like he deserves.

>>96837927
Hobgrots do not have guns now so why would they have guns in the future? Please think this through
HoH use Daemon Souls as ammunition not gunpowder

>>96837927
>What? Not familiar with HoH lore, but they do have blunderbuss guns?
I wouldn't try to reason with that person since they're either trolling or autistic to a scarily stifling degree
They literally admitted that their mindset is "if a model doesn't exist for it then it can't happen": >>96837881

>>96837904
neferata should be on a new coven throne
arkhan on his old chariot but ossiarch'ed
manfred doesn't deserve shit, let alone a dragon

>>96837937
They use grenades. Guns are like grenades that explode in one direction.

>>96837887

Bullshit, it's the ugliest most fisher price looking piece of shit centerpiece in game. Everything else seems about right, except for the criminal lack of Wavechad.

Are Chorfs really that tech advanced? They have Dominator Engine and what else? A mortar?

Kharadron appear more tech advanced. Skaven too.

>>96837928
hobgrots having guns makes sense but KB orruks are dank swamp types so it'd be a little weird

>>96837949
Yeah I s'pose so

>>96837948
Zharr Vyxa is an oil rig that walks around on mechanical legs.

>>96837949
Hobgrots should have grenade launchers

>>96837954
I mean the realms could have magic blackpowder impervious to moisture I suppose

>>96837946
No Wavechad, Glutos, or Katakros is criminal.

>>96837955
NTA but I really hope, besides the more religious aspect of Hashut, future releases explore just how technologically advanced Chorfs truly are.

hobgrots always reminded me of orcs from the legend of zelda twilight princess so I think they should have bows like they do

>>96837927
>but they do have blunderbuss guns?
not ones that shoot bullets, their weapons shoot demonstuff and they specifically don't sell that kind of tech to others

bombs are easy to craft with refuses and barely require maintenance or continued supply lines, they make sense as a weapon the hobgrots can get from the chaos dwarfs, guns on the other hand, no

if anything they would have a fling that launches a larger bomb, but that's certainly not something to give a warg rider

I mean ya, fuck Mannlet. But unless they're gonna kill him off and replace him with someone cool Bring Vlad back with a sick new model I beg, he's gonna get something when they inevitably separate the Mortarchs into their own kits. Maybe give him a Hellsteed. Do those even exist in AOS? I'm shocked at the lack of pegasi.

>>96837416
I am talking to a few artists and will go forward with the comic comission. Looking at 20-25 pages. Will be costly but I will do it.

Basically the story:
> A lavish and opulent stable like palaces beneath temples of Hashut where Bull Centaurs live, correct to lore. Statues made of pure ruby or emerald or sapphire made in image of Hashut ( in his pure bull form, Bull Centaur form and Chaos Dwarf form) are placed around chambers.
>They live in utter decadence, Slaanesh would be proud. Their chambers are filled with most delicious foods and drinks. Bull shaped hookahs with incredible powerful drugs procured from Hedonites ( from Glutos Orscollion, he also sends finest food and wine from the Realms in return for Hashutite weaponry and armour) for them to smoke. Gold, gems, silk everywhere. Large pools with freshwater for them to relax in. Perfumed smoke rising from bull shaped censers.
> A army of mostly female slaves (duardin, human, ogor and elves) looks at their every need. Bull Centaurs have, per lore, minor god complexes. They often kill slaves by trampling on them for a laugh or because the slave girls did not massage them properly or brought the hookah or the food fast enough.
> Two young Lumineth twins and a young Kurnothi Aelf maiden are captured and brought to satisfy carnal urges of Bull Centaurs.
> These three young women are beautiful beyond words, with firm breasts and tight bodies.
> They act all high and mighty, Lumineth twins accusing Bull Centaurs of ignorance and touting how enlightened Lumineth are compared to Helsmiths of Hashut. Kurnothi maiden produly holds on to her religion, says Kurnoth is the true hunter, lord of beasts and Ghur and that Hashut is nothing compared to him.
> Two Bull Centaurs laugh like crazy at this, then proceed to remove the clothes of three women by force. Hobgrot slaves hold firm one Lumineth maiden who is not the object of attention of two Bull Centaurs in place until her time comes.

>>96838454
I think it suits him. He looks a lot like my late uncle who had the same hair and facial hair style. Not everyone can pull off completely bald. Sure, he could do hair treatment and then plugs later on, but that just sounds like more annoying self maintenance that will eventually fail.

> Two Bull Centaurs laugh like crazy at this, then proceed to remove the clothes of three women by force. Hobgrot slaves hold firm one Lumineth maiden who is not the object of attention of two Bull Centaurs in place until her time comes.
>Bull Centaurs proceed to take them into their arms, fondling their suppple breasts and sucking on their tight perky nipples and rubbing their pussies.
> Bull Centaurs can wait no longer, they order Hobgrot slaves to put all three women on the massive silken bed and hold them firm. Then the two Bull Centaurs proceed to mount them like the bulls they are and ravage their holes until all three woman face wave after wave of orgasms.
>Their minds broken from all the orgasms, the Lumineth twins proclaim that Helsmiths of Hashut are the true enlighened master race. Kurnothi maiden starts praising Hashut as true God, the Bull who mounts the Realms entire, the true God of beasts and hunting. Kurnoth is weak cuck deity she screams.
> Laughing to themselves, two Bull Centaurs go sit on massive silk covered thrones filled with silken pillows. They agree that the women were amusing enough and start to smoke the Hookahs.
> All three women beg for more sex but the Bull Centaurs laugh and order Hobgrot slaves to gangang them.

END

If I am pleased with the comic, I will do another where a Anointed Sentinel ravages a Khainite and various Chaos women under orders from a Ashen Elder, to prove the dominance of Hashut.

>>96838425
>city elves
no such thing

>>96838498
you should have the dominator engine fuck an alarith mountain elemental while a chaos train literally drills through the mountain the elemental is the spirit of

According to the book the annointed sentinel helmets are full of gases getting the high as fuck and super endurance maybe work that in somewhere.

>>96838674
Yeah, the Hashutaar helmets truly have a Slaaneshi element to them. Quite excellent lore.

If first comic goes well, I will comission the second.

I will share the comic with you anons here if you wish it so.

>>96838759
Sure, but the comic would be erratic. Jumping from image to image like insane. I want to build up atmosphere.

Where are the new rats.

>>96838759
NTA but how did you come with that list?

>>96838498

Of course, mabye bigger model is coming in future.

>>96838739
Archaon will get a new model next edition with Slaanesh added to it.

I'm gonna be real it's so fucked up to make Nighthaunt so cool model wise but make building and basing them essentially so cancerous that I just can't dedicate to it

>>96838929
Consulting with several. I know it will be quite costly. But as Chorf fan for over 10 years, I always wanted to comission such a comic. Problem is from what I see long wait time.

If you have any good recommendations, please share.

>>96838836
Okay, will share it here :)

>>96838949
I know he's like a demigod but I'd like his dorghar to go back to horse size desu

>>96838085
>Platonic ideal of Verminlord

What does that mean?

>>96837948
>>96837830
How the fuck are you seeing HoH as most tehcnologically advanced is beyond me. They have classic smithing and putting fucking demons inside some weapons and automata. What else? A train? Fucking nothingburger.

Kharadron have state of art tech compare to HoH virgins.

>>96839009
Unpopular opinion but CoS are the most advanced faction, everyone else's tech is 100% dependent on bullshitium magic resources.

>>96838981
I mean depends on what you're aiming for, I've had 34-san as one of my main stay artists since he tends to be pretty good with fantasy stuff but it would be pretty long term and expensive. Though he tends to work consistently and you'd be able to watch it go down.

Sparrow if you just want hardcore bdsm and over the top shit, meant to comm him at one point but never quite could get around to it.

Other person I know was a guy called Slumdog (adoggoart I think is his other name) he does doujins and longer term more degen stuff with effectively no limits.

If price is no object those 3 would be the main recs I can think of, I don't know if you're bein' serious on this or how much you've commissioned but if so that's who I'd recommend.

>>96838815
>NTA but how did you come with that list?
hashut is bull, alarith is cow
hashut breaks the environment, alarith is mountain, environment

bull centaurs are centaurs, kurnothi, centigor and kragnos are centaurs
hashut dominates the wilds of the realms of ghur, kurnothi, beastmen and drogrukhs are wild, and some of ghur

hashut is bull, keeper of secrets is cow
hashut breaks demons, keeper of secrets is demon

hashut is the aspiring god of technology and broke into the forge of souls to ascend and get demonsmithing, vashtorr is the aspiring god of technology and manages the forge of souls and demon smithing

hashut is an aspiring chaos god, the horned rat is an allegedly rising chaos god
hashut is competitive, skaven are competition

hashut is bull, minotaur marine is bull
hashut breaks fags, minotaur marine is fag

hashut hates the inferior dwarfs, fyreslayers, kharadrons and valaya are the inferior dwarfs
chaos dwarfs had a fierce war against the kruleboys

>>96839083
WITNESS

>>96839034
I am quite serious. I wanted to comission such a comic for a long time. Now is the perfect time.

I thank you for you recommendations. I am already in touch with 34-san, not the other two. Any recs on more realistic fantasy drawings?

>>96839096
You magnificent bastard.

>>96839088
Flesh Eater Courts are one of the best things GW ever made.

>>96838498
You are a Slaaneshi anon through and through. Come to think of it, bull is a symbol/motiff of Slaanesh.

Hashut as rogue Greater Daemon of Slaanesh? He is a God of domination after all.

But the story is nice.

>>96839083
From where is this art?

Also, does anyone have 4ed Khorne tome to share?

>>96839123
More realistic? uhhh Justsomenoob, though I don't know if he's ever open for commissions. I've gotten some work done through Cronaart but I don't know if they'd do comics uhhhh otherwise that's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

Fuck anon I wish I had your level of cash to drop on comms, I've been doing this for like 2 years and I feel like it's a very slow process on building up my stuff. (admitedly certain artists I wanna hit up keep dropping off the face of the earth)

>>96839005
As funny as that would be, he's not really corrupted or enthralled. He chose Chaos after ben mindbroken by Be'lakor and his prophecy. I don't think it would do much. He'd still hate Sigmar.

>>96839158
>He'd still hate Sigmar
He will become orderbelakor and keep doing his edgy atheism

>>96839009
>What does that mean?
As in with no frills or gimmick that would lead a design "away" from its basic idea
The other VLs are "rat daemon, but/that/and (...)" whereas Vizzik is "rat daemon", making it closer to the ideal
>>96839009
>How the fuck are you seeing HoH as most tehcnologically advanced is beyond me.
I was talking about all iterations of chorfs condensed, including Fantasy inventions like Iron Daemons and the robotic Taurox they made for Ghark Ironskin.

>>96839149
I do not have coffers of cash anon, but enough to commission a larger project. Anyway, my deep thank you for your recs.

>>96839176
NTA but how would you compare current HoH technology, from models, lore and art to other factions? How technologically advanced the current Helsmitsh are?

>>96839197
Oh no no no, I getcha. I've had some big projects before, got a few hefty longer term projects for the idea I had during the pandemic of "shortstack body pillows" wherein it was custom sized for smaller characters like Midna or gobbos etc etc. Wound up getting the things produced but the whole thing never went anywhere just because of how niche it wound up being. Got a 10-15 page comic in the works now just waiting for an artist to get back to me.

>>96839096
Pretty neat list, one problem Hashut is a shortking, it will always inherently look like shortking cope.

>>96839209
>shortking cope

>>96838832
yeah, they should have made the dominator and cannon way bigger and the bull statue way smaller

they keep fucking up the sizes of the hero centerpieces, stuff like teclis and alarielle would be infinitely better if the elf on top was normal sized, and the accompanying beast proportional to that, instead they're bullshit sized to ramp up the cost of the box

>>96839333
that's why there's a launcher too

Is there any lore on Thanquol in AoS land?

>>96839656
He exists. Not much else to say on the matter.

*Ahem*
Airbrushing Nighthaunt is literally just cheating and requires zero skill
That is all

>>96839548
He's the one that fucked up the dwarfs isn't he? Always thought it funny that he's still around. Is it his saurus that are going full primal because the slann is kind of on his deathbed and they don't know what to do? Koatls claw I think ?

>>96839524
How the fuck is painting NH suffering? it's trivial

>>96830984 (OP)
On the topic of xenofiction, are there any other nonhuman perspectives in AoS you'd like to see novelized? Discounting basically all flavors of aelves, duardin, and stormcast.

>>96839697
on the contrary, they know exactly what they're doing
>After slaughtering the Chaos-tainted inhabitants of Mekitopsar, many of the saurian legions of Koatl’s Claw continue to rampage deeper into the Realm of Beasts. One such army finds a suitable target when they chance upon a congregation of the skaven Clans Pestilens chasing down a fleeing kinband of aelven Wanderers. The saurus fall upon the ratmen with such furious abandon that, for centuries thenceforth, the site of the battle is regarded as a promised land amongst the flesh-eating kingdoms of Ghur. TheWanderers give thanks to their strange woodland gods for salvation, but it proves to be premature; completely lost to the fury of battle, the near-feral saurus turn their blades upon the aelves, wiping them out in turn.
