Scary.

>>96873982
"I'd like a Withchunter model, an hold the jacket, and hold the hats."

EY GW, GIVE ME A WITCHHUNTER WITH NUTTIN.

>>96873995
lmao.

>>96873982
>>96873995
VGH the unrestricted peaks of creativity that the AoS setting is famous for!

>>96874013
aight, but fr, I need you to tell me if there are any other minatures on the market rn where a dude has rolled up sleeves and is showing some muscle?

>>96873953 (OP)
I thought those were Pygmies for a second

>>96874034
What if I painted Gorehulk with a skintight tanktop on.

>>96874038
I'm glad I'm not the only one, makes me honestly wonder if the Kruleboyz were orginally gonna have spears and the shields would be masks until GW realized that would probably not be the best look.

>>96874038
if you don't remember that picture you're not old enough to use 4chan

>>96874051
The whole point of the scareshield is that when you hide behind it it looks like a scary face.
So you look intimidating when you're actually cowardly

>>96874067
that's cute, and they custom make them to look like their own faces. Kruleboyz are neat.

LET YOUR IMAGINATION RUN WILD

If Hashut got Greater Daemons some day, how do you envision them looking?

>>96874057
I'm thinking you're not old enough

>>96873995
isn't the model's lore that they're in their casual gear and got ambushed?

>>96874071
Why would a dwarf god get greater demons?
Griminir doesn't even have that and his essence is splattered all over the world

>>96874071
I think it'd be cool if they had metal plates seared onto their flesh, maybe other mechanical doodads effectively impaled into their bulky bull demon bodies. Like if Hashut himself branded the daemons as his property rather than treat them as his subordinates, to show that although a god leaning towards chaos, he's not quite a "chaos god".

>>96874097
Yes. It's also literally just a one-off celebratory alt sculpt of an existing kit where they do have coats and hats.

>>96874007
Pretty cool, where's this from?

>>96874136
This is like seeing the red gobbo christmas models and going "UGH THEY'RE NOT TAKING 40K SERIOUSLY WHY WOULD ORKS CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS?"

>>96874071
Everything I think up is too similar to the (old) keeper of secrets or bloodthirster

>>96874071
If they're bipedal, then we're gonna have an issue because at that point they're just gonna be minotaurs.
more feral/primitive interpretations would probably just encroach on lammasu territory.

I guess if we run with his theme of "being the one true ancestor god" he could get something like a manticore that perverts the symbols of all the other "fake" ancestor gods. I dunno how that can be done without it looking like a conquest model though, probably too abstract for gw to really do.

>>96874104
>Why would a dwarf god get greater demons?
Griminir doesn't even have that and his essence is splattered all over the world

helsmiths already have half bull chaos mutants, clearly hashut is not playing by the same rules as the other dwarven gods

>>96874071
Boring answer is something like picrel, a mini hashut, like the guo is to nurgle.
If we wanna come up with some other interesting stuff maybe worth looking into some sumerian/babylonian depictions of demons and monsters like tiamat and hunbaba
>>96874075
>those names
Holy shit james lmao impressive that they've been able to keep this relatively under wraps

>>96874071
Let him steal another animal from Khrone

>>96874147
It's the map from the hel crown campaign.

>>96874075
>googles some meme shit
>doesn't know promo pictures
Yep. Newfag

>>96874071
i'd like to see something like this, a big avatar style dwarven demon, bull horns but not a minotaur, closer to an oni

because ultimately hashut is not a raw chaos god, he's an ancestor god turned chaos god like the GHR, he's essentially a racial embodiment, so he should look very dwarven. i think just making it a giant bull/minotaur would be a bit of a waste. i could see a centaur i guess, but i'd rather just get a big dude i think, kinda like how vizzik skour or the verminlords are essentially just very large and ornate grey seers, hashuts greater daemon should be a very large and ornate daemonsmith

>>96874071
I think they should take a few cues from the Nighthaunt range. Those models are designed to look hollow and weightless, to convey their ethereal nature. I think that'd work to help differentiate daemons from the machines and flesh-and-blood creatures of the range. They could be fluffed as manifesting as something half-baked, incomplete, not fully formed, to drive home that despite Hashut's divinity he isn't a big Chaos god like the others.

>>96874211
>Griminir doesn't even have that and his essence is splattered all over the world
Fair point. But Fyreslayers absolutely should have djinn-like volcano spirits on their side.

>>96874282
>ancestor god turned chaos god like the GHR
I think it's safe to say at this point that the Skavor lore isn't canon and that the dwarfs in Fantasy were simply wrong in their theory. The recent-ish WD specifically separates Hashut and the GHR by saying that the former is an ascended mortal and the latter isn't.
(Personally, it's still canon to me...)

As far as I understand, the Halloween version of Warhammer is Geheimnisnacht, or am I wrong?

>>96874304
AND WHAT IS THIS, A NEW MINIATURE FOR THE CITIES OF SIGMAR?

>>96874373
Basically. Although IIRC it's not perfectly seasonally tied since its occurrence depends on the position of the moons, and those can be a little whimsy. There's also Hexensnacht which is referenced less frequently but is used in more or less the same way for narrative purposes.

Not a thing in AoS as far as I know. From what's been written of the Azyrite calendar it doesn't have anything corresponding to Halloween, at least not that's also widely recognized.

>>96874304
walking fortresses is dwarven clay
fuck off humiecucks

>>96874418
Pretty hard to celebrate the day of the dead when it fuels nagash. Maybe back when he wasn’t around there was something somewhere before a god got ate.

>>96874071
>>96874223
I imagine something like this though obviously a bit more bull-like. Very ornately babylonian. Also to connect with hashut's theme of domination and tyranny should probably be chained to some extent, maybe have the horns sown off, something to really hammer home that they're still pawns of hashut. He doesn't strike me as the type to let his little fragments of self get any silly ideas. They should absolutely detest this of course, and constantly try to "climb the ladder" by binding as much followers to themself in order to one day break their own chains, kind of like urak taar. They should also just kind of have an aura of general hatred and hunger for power.

While we're on the topic, what about daemonic steeds, beasts, and lesser daemons? I don't know if it really fits with hashut to have them but it's fun to spitball.

I’m not the biggest fan of the mud core vibe that cities went, but I do like wilder corps hunters a lot. Maybe it’s just because I don’t like armor.

>>96874304
>But how does it work?
>Such is the power of Chamon

>>96874526
Throwing a pitbull at a fucking gorger is just hilarious man

>>96874526
I'm wishing on a star that whatever comes next for CoS reconstructs some of the non-Freeguild character of the faction.

>>96874591
if I had to invent fluff for it, I'd say the most common types of cogforts are built around a metalith, so the legs are mainly a way for it to crawl forward, rather than something that has to mechanically support the whole thing, especially because the biggest problem with such ideas isn't the difficulty to power it or to keep it up, but to not have it sink into the first patch of soft ground or muddy area.

>>96874604
I'm wishing for that to not happen, so your wish is nullified

>>96874526
All of the warcry releases with beasts makes me so mad they somehow didn't think to make a Moulder unit with packmasters and wolf rats

Man the skill ceiling on Nighthaunt is a lot lower than I thought it would be. Even looking at the Golden Demon winners for the faction I'm not blown away by it in terms of painting quality and technical skill. It's really the composition and non-Nighthaunt parts that carry them. A pure sheet ghost look really is holding the faction back aesthetically.

>>96874719
How many times do we have to tell james to just release some haunted armour already

>>96874719
Yeah pretty much which sucks cause despite that I still think they're one of the best looking armies
But yeah you can essentially airbrush the ethereal and from there the remaining brush work is not much work

>>96874719
>A pure sheet ghost look really is holding the faction back aesthetically.
If gw were smart they'd shove angels in there. It'd still be simple to paint, and it fits in aesthetically with ghosts while also being something different.

>>96874743
I'm deeply curious about what james is going to add to the faction next time they get a release that isn't just another admittedly really cool pity hero. They must be out of different ways to sheet a ghost by now.

>>96874719
>A pure sheet ghost look really is holding the faction back aesthetically.
Multiple aesthetics is what you give to actual factions, nighthaunts aren't an actual faction, they're closer to kruleboys and gitmobs and darkoath.
They're a subrange of the actual faction: gravelords.

Nighthaunt should get a poltergeist that looks like a vague swirl of mist manipulating a bunch of swords and shields
Like a cross between the quicksilver swords spell and the Castlevania ruler sword

>>96874797
I actually kind of agree. GW essentially took the Vampire Counts and divided them into 3 to make FEC, Soulblight, and Nighthaunt for AOS. And the Vampire Counts wasn't a particularly diverse faction in 8th in terms of available models. They've done a pretty good job of making ghouls their own full faction by mixing in a bit of Bretonnia.
But they're a total one trick pony with Nighthaunt and it took a model that should arguably be in Soulblight away just because it's driven by a ghost (Black Coach). It's definitely the weakest of those expansions from the core concepts of V Counts.

This is probably why FEC performs better, they still got a great horror theme to them but it's not just a bunch of sheets which can be painted with relative low effort

>>96874864
I do wish that they had more ghoul king models though, plenty of ghoul but lacking vamps

>>96874849
fec should be in gravelords too

normal vampires still make use of normal ghouls, and the ghoul courts would make use of fell bats, dire wolves and perhaps more

the only problem is that then grand alliance death wouldn't be an alliance, just one aos-original faction and one bloated book

which is also why death should get a faction of lovecraftian fishmen and sea undead

>>96874849
I think fluffwise they've done well to make nighthaunt pretty fun and distinct, their characters are really interesting too, they also stand out a bit from the rank and file designwise.
But in the whole yes nighthaung as it stands are like 10 different kits of the same concept. Bedsheet ghost with axe. Bedsheet ghost with big sword. With scythe. With locks. With scythe-arms. With crossbows...
Doesn't help that they also squatted the one basic bedsheet that was a little bit different in glaivewraiths, they at least had their animal skull thing going on. While we're on the topic, their cav is either a weird kit with only 2 models (??) or an ancient dual build that is 100% getting squatted next edition.
Likw the other guy said, gw isn't fixing things by just putting out (cool) heroes every update. They need some units that still fit the ghostly punishment thing while not being literal bedsheets. This topic comes up every other week and I've seen great stuff; haunted armour, ghostly angels, iron maidens and other torture shit, even just ghost dragons or whatever. Plenty of options.

Maggotkin battletome got leaked, formations are new, prayers/spells are also new but one spell is kinda similar
Playstyle will likely be the same
Blight kings are still there and are thankfully given a new role.
Overall it’s still gamey and isn’t as good as Khornes or fecs battletome, nor is it a shake up like night haunts.

>>96874913
how about you post the fucking leak instead of your gay game of telephone?

>>96874922
Dude deleted it on Reddit

>>96874913
>>96874922
It's just a reddit post on the maggotkin sub with no real credibility.
Could be legit of course, but no real reason to take ot seriously atm.

>>96874913
>prayers
It should be true. For MoN as well as many other armies that are currently prayerless.

TO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN, PLEASE UPLOAD A LINK THAT HAS ALL THE PDFS OF THE FOUR EDITIONS OF THE DEATH FACTION.

>>96874994
I’d buy a displate of this or whatever it’s called if gw released it.

>>96874719
They should bring back mournguls for em.

Nagash's return is TAKING TOO LONG

To celebrate Halloween we should all put age of sigmar to eternal rest.

Fucked up how tow is deviating from the original vision of warhammer. Meanwhile Aos is THRIVING with buff niggas.

>>96875243
tow is deviating exclusively because aos has tried claiming the buff niggas

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

HoH test

Neck yourself.

So now that the dust has settled, why did Stinkshit Flabsore job so hard?

>>96875370
Just report it and ignore it. Jannies are aware of it cause they've removed it before. He'll get bored just like that fag got bored of spamming that 40k player with the pink beard or whatever

>>96875440
Report for what? I wasn’t aware it was against board rules to bring up how poorly the Helsmiths of Hashut are selling

>>96874989
Fuck you beggar bitch. I have all of them but you're not getting them because you didn't say trick or treat.

>>96874913
>it got leaked but also nobody looked at any of the new models at all, only the preexisting kits and rules!

>>96874526
It makes sense that the Wilder Corps are mudcore because they're literally hunters in an animalistic swamp.

>>96875599
>It makes sense
I don't want sense. I want silly and outlandish.

>>96875455
>>96875455
It's not. But if you were to do so every single thread, every day, while changing up your md5s to get around filters, and spamming the same sentence over and over, most reasonable people would describe that as trolling/avatarfagging+signature us/extremelylowquality/ or spamming+flooding.

>>96875599
their dogs are meant to be mutts bred from azyrite noble hounds and a bunch of local/ghurish monster dogs to create the perfect tracker/hunting companion for the hulking shit like orruks, yet they're all just normal breeds of dogs who look normal. There's nothing monsterous or fantasy-y about them, even greywater's heraldry has pictures of their local favorite dog breed and it's got fucking antlers. It's the wildercorp's only sin as a kit, apart from not having a token non-human

>>96875370
I'm testing the filter I set up for the bot
calm down retard

>>96875701
It’s not low quality I use a new updated image for each post (to accurately show how the Helsmiths of Hashut aren’t selling) and reminding you once per thread that they aren’t selling well isn’t spam either. Fag.

>>96875751
it seems like an odd obsession to have in the first place, let alone when you've only got one picture to keep posting as proof

>>96875761
You can literally see in your own screencap that it’s a different image each time

>>96875751
>>96875771
ritualposts are spamming, posting the same thing every thread is spamming

>>96875779
Wrong. Keep you updated on how poorly Helsmiths of Hashut are selling with a fresh picture and insight (if the situation changes) is not a ritual post nor is it botposting nor will you ever be a woman.

>>96875701
Look ma! I'm in the screencap!
I'm gonna keep calling the antagonist of Darkwater stupid shit like Pitstink Fungustoes

>>96875790
You have an odd fixation on random peoples orientation my man. I hope you aren’t questioning your own.

>>96875790
trying too hard

Being a woman isn’t about orientation it’s biology. Hormones won’t make you a woman, you were born a man and that can’t be changed.

What does this have to do with spamming your ritualpost?

>>96875821
I’m not spamming one post a thread is the least close to spam you can get if you post at all. You logic is completely wrong.

>I'm not spamming or trolling
>SHUT UP YOU TRANNIES TRANNIES TRANNIES YWNBAW TRANNIES IM NOT SPAMMING STOP SAYING IT

Hey jannies do you want to do literally fucking anything, or is this one of you doing this

>>96875847
Oh what so im not allowed to defend myself from false accusations? I’m just supposed to sit down and take it because you’re having a melty over HoH flopping?

>Make cool as fuck foot hero with scenic base
>"Hmmmm....yeah lets make it absolutely dogshit and a never-take in an edition where lists are filled with mandatory and tax garbage"
Why does GW do this

>>96875865
It's a fucking mystery. You'd think they'd at least want foot heroes to be good since that's what they love giving every army that isn't a dev's pet faction.

>that typing style
Ain't no way the anti-hoh sperg is the decalfag

>>96875859
you have to be crashing out fighting with either yourself or like five different people, this was me >>96875771 and it was my first ever response to you. you seem very annoying and its weird to be this obsessed with something

>>96875859
I hope you know that every message you send that isn't your ritualpost gives them more context as to why people are reporting you and less likely to just scroll past people's reports

>>96875885
Ooh, lore?

>>96875893
I’ve done nothing wrong and if anything you all should be worried about getting banned for false reporting.

>>96875865
They finally made foot heroes good with the last season of 3e, and now have to try really hard to figure out how to do it again after throwing everything away.

>>96875885
I'm going to pretend I didn't read that and go back to not worrying about that retard shitting up this thread too

>>96875895
decalfag aka decalmutt aka decalfag is a HUMONGOUS FAGGOT who spams with his million fucking space wolves and knights that are absolutely SLATHERED in decals. Not just marine decals, there's fucking tons of IG ones too for no discernable reason but the "lore" is they add the symbols of regiments they've fought with which is bullshit. Not to mention the blatant nazi dogwhistles he puts on the vehicles like tons of 1488s and putting lightning bolts suspiciously close to each other and every time people call him out he feigns ignorance.
There was a thing going on where an anon put pictures of people's models on a fridge (fridgeposter) and he kicked up a fucking TANTRUM because he never got on the fridge.

>>96875953
Amazing. Thank you. I sometimes forget the level of autism and generally maladaptive people this hobby attracts.

>>96875909
I just don't know what they could do with the framework of this edition to not make foot heroes pop when someone looks at them wrong.

>>96875993
Universal can't be the target of ranged weapons if within 3 inches of an allied non-hero unit

>>96874071
>what I want
the K'Dai destroyer
>what we'd actually get
a basically normal minotaur that would probably be a recycled design from some beasts of chaos unit that never left the drawing board. I want more cool war machines for them but I'm afraid that someone on the GW design team has an ultra boner for bull horns and that will never happen.

Bullshit

>>96876042
Ban evading is frowned upon

>spammer finally getting clowned on
at least the overzealous mods are good for one thing

He's gone
Ok so anyways guys I'm building some CoS models and have decided to base them in a ruined/abandoned village. Bought some basing bits off etsy and they're getting delivered. Hopefully the new CoS range doesn't have too many tactical rocks so I can have tactical ruins instead.

Phew; now I can air my legitimate grievances about Helsmiths without being conflated with that guy...
Just kidding. There's nothing worth discussing at this point.
>>96876082
I can't imagine it being particularly egregious. Meanwhile, as a Skaven player, I'm dreading the nightmarish abominations they're surely dreaming up for new Night Runners and Gutter Runners...

>>96876214
They’d just report you for disliking Helsmiths, that’s not allowed here apparently.

>>96876219
stop ban evading

>>96876224
I’m not ban evading I wasn’t banned, now leave me alone you obsessed freak

>>96876214
>they all have tactical sewer pipes, smoke, and city terrain attached directly to their spindly ass legs
imagine

Blessed jannies, thank you for your service

>>96876082
I need them to stop sculpting just dirt piles under people's feet. It makes basing so much more annoying.

96876237
God he really is the fecalfag
How pathetic is he that he needs to shut up two different generals

>>96876082
Where you the anon trying to think of scatter terrain for a deserted town? If so I thought of a few more
>campfire with a few coals(piece of meat on a spit burnt completely black on the side facing the fire
>empty dog collar attached to chain(torn?bloody? Tufts of hair scattered around?)
>spilled bushel of apples

>>96876241
Yeah. Not looking forward to that. Glad I had my Silver Tower Deathrunner(s), so I didn't need to opt for that ridiculously over-based Deathmaster.

>>96876275
Yeah same one. I do want to give off the feel that it just got deserted, so no signs of violence or death, just sudden abandonment. I'll note those down, but I'm finding that some models take up a lot of space or just have very little bases and make it hard to tell stories like fallen tables or bundles of scrolls.

>>96876336
I think little pouches, packs, bags, small crates, vases etc.(small containers you can fill with small interesting details) could be a good way to get a small variety of stuff scattered on a base without taking up the whole base with a wheelbarrow or well or some shit

>>96876336
Snakes, if you can find a suitablysmall model. Tumble weeds should be pretty easy to make from those gamer grass tuft things hobby stores sell, or just getting some yellow twine in a ball. Abandoned carts and half buried wagon wheels are also pretty common old west ghost town tropes

So how romantic can you get with a Stormcast? Are they even capable of feeling that way or are they mentally conditioned into only wanting to serce Sigmar in the reforging thing?

>>96876988
Depends on how far into the forging cycle they're in and how often they're dispatched I reckon. Fresh faced SCE who are tasked with protecting a smaller area probably get more downtime and thus more opportunity to be with romantically. Though idk if they can make babies, probably not, so you can't have a Golden Wife who comes home to you and your kids and then she sits on your face

>>96876988
>Are they even capable of feeling that way
yes, they're not marines

unless they've been recycled too many times

What does your army's general dress up as for Halloween

The warcry rules for chaos dwarves haven't dropped yet right?
Any word of when they may be coming out?

>>96877104
Surely sigmar would want stormcast having kids tho right?? like

>>96877271
A grot climbs into the gators mouth and they cosplay as captain hook and tick tock from peter pan while the loonboss crushes beers in a Peter pan costume. They wear the same costume every year but tend to have to buy a new captain hook costume each halloween

>>96877321
I think if they could they'd be genetically Sigmar's anyway.
Maybe he's afraid of alimony?

>>96877330

wait does sigmar actually change the genes of those he forges? i always thought he just decks them out with magic n armour n shi

(also anyone got anymore images from pic related artist? no idea who made it)

>>96877341
He infuses them with his magic, which is why the more they die (and more of them gets lost in the process) the more weird and lightningy they become

>>96874989
Praise the Blood Rose Prince!

>>96874989

its stormground. it has stormcast, nurgle and nighthaunt.

>>96877577
ah shame

Are there any novels in which katakros and/or Lady Olynder appear?

First edition got a lot of rightfully critique for the botched initial release but I still think the gameplay was fun. The Realmgate Wars campaign series was amazing and the whole vibe was so honest and different from everything else GW did before. You could clearly see they had no idea where they should go with it so a lot of artistic freedom and individual ideas managed to slip between the cracks. Also one of the rare cases where the edition peaked just by it ends rather than turning into absolute mess and therefore requiring a hard reset.

>>96877666
Lady of Sorrows has Olynder as the villain

>>96877585
>ah shame

>>96877759
The presentation was really the one thing SG had going for it. Environments, models, UI assets and so on were all on point.

>>96877774
Ichorian campaign where it stops being a strategy game and becomes a puzzle game is where it gets good

>>96877722
Yeah it's fun to look back and try to parse out why they did things the way they did, what the outcomes were, and what they were trying to achieve. I think they had some good ideas about listbuilding and just generally making the game accessible to newcomers, that I'd like for GW to remind itself about.

>>96877759
farrkkk id kill for a 'victory' and 'defeat' logo for each faction in each battletome

>>96877722
>The Realmgate Wars campaign series was amazing
the godbeasts plot felt so weird, it came out of nowhere with the pretence of being the most important thing ever and went nowhere despite these "most important things ever" being still very much around

>>96877824
Behemat is dead, Iganax run away and Fanghtrak is captured by orruks and used by them

>>96877846
>Iganax run away
I thought archaon still had that one under his control, because his sword rewired his brain... or something

maybe you're thinking argentine? but tzeentch still has that one too

>>96877851
It's been left a little up in the air. Ignax was supposedly freed from Archaon's control by the sacrifice of a runefather, then flew away to who knows where. But in 3e it was hinted that there was some lingering taint of Chaos in her, so it could come up again.

>>96877851
He never did it because there was a protection rune that saved Ignax last minute

>>96877895
he absolutely did that, the book ended with archaon doing a celebratory victory lap with ignax, even if the rune is there, he absolutely had control of it at that point

Does the chosen and chaos knights helmet options fit the varanguards bodies? I have some helmets left and i don't like most of the head options for varanguard.

Cam on gw
Show some facking guts

>>96876988
>Are they even capable of feeling that way
One of the early stories has a subplot where two stormcast have a fling and a physical relationship. So it's a thing that happens. It's not been shown that stormcast form romantic or sexual relationships with non-stormcast, but there's nothing to indicate that they lack the capacity for it.

>>96878206
>where two stormcast have a fling and a physical relationship
Thunderclap.

>>96878213
Reminded me of the Über comic where two of the three superpowered Nazis are forced to have hatesex because the third one is gay and regular people would just plain die. So if they want to get laid there's exactly one other person who could perform.

>>96878206
There was a DoK story with a young naive Liberator kinda crushing on a DoK girl. It even got a follow-up short story where she helps him escape from Anvilguard or whatever, I forget the details.

>>96878288
I don't wanna invite the goonposters but do normal elves and humans have relationships?

>>96878297
half duardins and half aelves exist for a reason.

>>96878297
You have Prince Maesa, a Wanderer who married a human woman. In general though, Warhammer/Black Library just steers away from romance topics as much as possible, so these things rarely get explored in depth.

>>96878297
It's rare but it happens.

>>96878297
They're extremely, EXTREMELY, rare

>>96878307
Oh yeah I remember something like that. His clan didn't like it because they couldn't have kids or whatever and that goes against the cycle of life or something

>>96878307
I don't blame them, warhammer romances can be such a mixed fucking bag. You can have shit like Felix banging some new lady and then she dies like every book, or you can have a middle aged fat playwrite banging a vampire that keeps getting referenced as looked like a strapping young 16 year old. (and we really gotta keep mentioning how attractive and 16 she looks, THIS IS NECESSARY FOR THE PLOT)

Which feels odd, I feel like having a set of characters that are a couple could lead to easy double model releases.

>>96878414
MEANWHILE IN THE REALM OF CHAOS

>>96878421
We need a custom model release of just Sigvald, a jug of lube, and a full length mirror.

>>96878421
>warhammer's healthiest couple is a slaaneshi daemon prince and a daemonette
I mean sure but whut

>>96878589
The pink reflecting off the scales and chest is fucking insane. Dude absolutely deserved gold. Also the general texture on the dress. He made it look SILKY.

>>96878596
Is it bad to say so many of these golden daemons look really samey, like they're expertly done and look fantastic. But I feel like everything has that kind of NMM look to it, you don't see as much grungy or weird shit.

>>96878613
They probably look samey because it’s almost the same people competing every time. The new slayer sword winner won in 2023 with his LRL entry. I think that one is what pushed me to solidly look into Loomies.

>>96878613
This style is kind of the best for showing off skill and also looks really good on display in bright light. Grimdark shit for example usually needs a specific, dimmed lighting setup to get the effect you want.

>>96878613
Nmm is the name of the game at golden demon, at least right now. It can swing a bit from year to year.

>>96878667
I don't even hate it, these are very good models technically. It just gets old seeing very similar stuff, the sheen kinda wore off so to speak.

orruk for orruktober

>>96878750
I like the idea that orruk means ogre-like orc

Maybe if the skin was a softer lavender it wouldn't be so visually jarring.

I had a dream that they revealed new spiders for AoS on WarCom

>>96878709
Go look at 40k subreddits sorted by new for a week an come back and tell us if you're still tired of things that look good

>>96878900
No, I received an oracle and simply relayed it to you.

>>96878855
Sure but that guy also has like 7 aos armies. He's allowed to have a few with strange colours

>>96878930
I had a dream that the twist of the new Scream movie was that Ghostface was a whole family of killers who profited off of the media rights from the killings and decided to do more to boost sales

>>96878941
That's called making it up

>>96878917
It was drippy shit

Does anyone know if the mighty skull crushers are compatible with blood warriors? I wanna stick some axes on them so they can dual wield.

>>96878667
>>96878613
New person here, what is NMM?

>>96879203
Non metallic metal, I don’t get it either but it makes it so things look shiny.

>>96878667
I wouldn't say NMM is the name of the game, it's essentially just an expectation at this point. Anybody winning golden demon can do NMM to the level where it would blow metallics out of the water, so there's no chance of metallic paints winning anything. If you were to use them you'd just be like automatically ceding points for no reason.

>>96879203
NMM stands for Non-Metallic Metal. It just means instead of using metallic paints, you paint with normal (matte) paints to give the effect of metal, so you paint in highlights and reflections. It gives you more room to demonstrate skill and add interest to the paint jobs since you're no longer relying on the specular highlights provided by metallic paints, you can just paint in interesting reflections or highlights yourself.

Sorry I do not play AoS but what is this daily spam I am hearing about on this general? Someone in a different general was blaming me for it so I am trying to get some clarity here.

>>96879244
Ew ew decalmutt ew get out

>>96879246
Ah I see, it was just a troll. False alarm I am leaving.

>>96879244
>>96879255
Don't ever come back

>>96873953 (OP)
Soon

Ya know I'm half disappointed in that anon from a few threads ago, I checked in with my artist buddy to see if he wound up following up. Totally didn't.

How much was this for msrp? Im seeing it up for $150.

>>96879724
Like 80 bucks or something iirc

>>96879724
From what I've seen, at least on ebay, people tend to sell terrain near or above MSRP, especially if it's for something that's not being sold anymore. I don't know why, it's infinitely less valuable and important than actual units, so unless your playing war cry or spearhead, you can put whatever the fuck on the board, it doesn't need to be some overpriced GW shit

>>96879394
I will come and go as I see fit, you however will remain a modeless classless twerp for eternity.

>>96879939
You tell him decalKING

>>96879724
it wasn't cheap
nor pretty
get some printed shit lookalike if you really want a chaos fortress, or if you want to add S0VL to your table, then look up the second hand market for evil castles from some old tacky plastic line of toys and get down to convert them up into proper tabletop terrain

>>96879939
Why does 40kg hate you so much
What did you do

>>96879951
3d printed terrain sounds like a bad idea, but i guess ill look around

>>96880001
There's an explanation further up in the thread.
>>96879939
This isn't 40kg you retard, we don't have nearly as many secondaries here so calling someone nomodels just makes you look like an idiot

>>96880001
II did nothing, there is a group of far left psychopaths who harass me and have gotten all 8 of my reddit accounts banned over a few minor jokes.

Theoretically, if I bought Warcry Catacombs, which parts of the Starter Set terrain would I still need to get for a "full" set? From what I can tell it seems to be 1 set of the corner buildings and the Sigmar head.
Catacombs has two warbands I like the look of and I've been eyeballing a listing for about 200 bucks

>>96880046
>still trying to keep this up
I'm starting to think you're actually autistic

>>96880057
There is nothing to "Keep up" There is reality and the lies and distortions you lunatics spew all day about me.

>>96880054
...it better not be the same one im eyeing.

>>96880064
Oh you motherfucker. Not gonna name it in case we have a third sniperfag out on the loose but if we're both looking at the same one I'm afraid you'll probably get it sooner because I ain't getting paid until next friday

>>96880026
>>96880046
I see. Well, I don't think he's the leaf flopposter in any case. Have fun back in 40kg I guess

Redpill me on shadespire, are the narratives fun?

>>96880417
It's a cool place and it's not the Gnarlwood.

>>96879939
>you however will remain a modeless classless twerp for eternity
That's not true in /40kg/ nor /aosg/. I btfo you with my lamenters already, do you need to btfo your claims with my grots too?

>>96880486
Oh wow so you're here harassing me too? Wtf is your problem girl? I have been nothing but nice to you.

>>96880507
I can immediately see why the other thread hates you

>>96880512
Quit samefagging and grow up

I wish there were more highly detailed environmental art so people could get terrain ideas.

>>96880507
Get out

>>96880530
Fine, I don't play AoS was just defending myself is all. GL

>>96880543
GET OUUUUT

Let's fuckin go

Lel I just took a peek at some of the 40kg threads in the archives to understand this decal stuff and holy shit it's like a fucking soap opera in there. Genuine dumpsterfire of a general every single thread. There's like 10 distinct ritualposter I can discern from just 15 minutes or scrolling.

>>96880628
Just try to put it out of mind. You don't want that clogging your synapses.

>>96880628
Luckily most of it is filterable with the exception of the decalfaggot who specifically edits his md5s so he can get around it, but he has little tourettes ticks/catchphrases he likes to drop so you can still filter a lot of his shit as well

>>96880628
The only thing that cesspool has going for it is a decent number of pretty good hobbyists/painters. Everything else is utter and complete garbage

>>96880054

I hope it keeps on trucking, one way or another. Speaking of, mosscairn didn't turn out to be related to the new whq after all right ?

>>96880788
>mosscairn didn't turn out to be related to the new whq after all right ?
Nope. In fact it seems quite far removed. Mosscairn appears to be located in Erosia whereas the Jade Abbey seems to be located in Aquia.

>>96880628
Its much better than this place I can tell you that.

it's really not, lol

>10 distinct rituaposters
it took maybe 4 /aosg/ threads to get rid of the doomer spam anon. You can just report people, the mods here LOVE banning

>>96880660
I like the communityposters like the fridge, collageanon, tipanon, etc.

>>96880905
Yea they seem harmless enough but there is some politicking involved and its gotten a little clicky.

>>96880886
The janny for /40kg/ isn't nearly as responsive to reports as aosg janny. Also all the problems in that thread stem from ban evaders

>>96880916
>being butthurt about this even in a different general
you're actually pathetic man

>>96880916
No it hasn't. They're welcome to everyone who isn't actively going out of their way to make the threads worse for others. There are two people banned from community events total

I can see why people leave this board.

>>96880916
We told you to get out

you know in hindsight they really havent done much with the blood lines for aos. Or at least expand them beyond what they were in fantasy. I wouldnt mind seeing them get a command group thats a dual kit between manlets or neffys blood line.
If gw just repurposed the cursed city stuff I think vyrkos would be just fine.
That just leaves the castlevania and mutant vampires out.

>>96880808
>aquia
>verdia
>fucking humidia
Yknow if there's one thing I'll concede to grogs it's the awful names in aos. Gw writers exposed as frauds when they can't just take real life locations/languages and twist them around a little bit. Interesting worldbuilding through naming? No, just take latin-ish concepts relating to the region and slap a -ia or -eos at the end.

>>96881063
>Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

>>96881038
Afaik they ditched necrarchs, and spun off strigoi into their own thing, and we got vyrkos and avengorii in their place. Who both have a kind of inner beast thing going on, except one tries to cope about it while the other leans into it

>>96881078
KEY LARGO, MONTEGO, BABY, WHY DON'T WE GO?

>>96881063
I think it's charming in a Masters of the Universe sort of way. I recognize that GW's writers and a majority of AoS players probably aren't with me on this, but I wouldn't mind seeing characters named Stormo or Hammero who speak almost entirely in alliterative quips and puns.

>>96881063
Yeah, GW could stand to be a bit better on names in AoS or show restraint in throwing random names on a map.
Evergreen video: https://youtu.be/atv8pf0jBNE

>Wow, they called this place with a black pool "Blackpool"? Real creative guys

>>96881141
You should go to the puddle district.
I shit you not, driving around England on holidays and a bunch of villages were all something puddle

>>96881136
That's not a fair video that dude put way more thought into those names than GW does for AoS. Mainline 40k and AoS are doomed to be named by borderline retards that work for the main studio. So stuff like Humidia or Repulsor will continue.

>>96881141
Unironically 10 times better than the weird faux-latin fantasy stuff. Blackpool sounds like what norffc lads named their shithole of a village in 1200 (because that's exactly what happened), capillaria and aridia sounds like what (bad) worldbuilders would try to name an arid and scorching landmass would sounds like without wanting to put any thought into it (because that's exactly what happened)

>>96881291
Alright I fucked up the formatting there and it made me sound like an esl retard but you get the idea
Here's a cool olynder paintjob I found to make up for it

>>96881291
Okay I see what you mean

>>96881141
You say this, but fiction should be more interesting than real life, and it's important for fictional places to have good names for people to remember them. It's why people will can remember greywater fastness and not fucking Hernia Promontory.

>>96881304
Wow, the first nighthaunt paintjob I've seen that isn't just another gradient, good stuff. Shame about the headdress being a simple gradient, but still better than most.

>>96881316
Bad example. A name as absurd as "Hernia Promontory" is far more memorable than Greywater Fastness

>>96881063

Is there a HQ scan of that book somewhere? This seems way better quality than any of the versions of the warcry book scans i've got stockpiled

>>96881613
The Chimera, surprisingly a plastic model, was part of beasts of chaos though so it's gone now

>>96881786
IIRC all the Warcry books published before Catacombs had digital editions. From Catacombs onward all the books had to be manually scanned.

>>96879724
>>96879951
Speaking of, anyone ever seen any ttrpg battlemaps or whatever that match this aesthetic? I've been wanting to run a campaign with champions of chaos, when that book gets fixed, and been struggling to find dreadhold-y or particularly chaos themed maps to work with

That is a lot of gw shit on jp twitter. I’m seeing a whole load of Aos, there’s obviously some 40K, but I’m also seeing some tow stuff as well. Really curious what warhammers like over yonder.
Also curious why it’s even in my feed, only jap shit I like are my anime hentais.

>>96882324
>why it’s even in my feed

>Anon learns his data is being scraped 24/7 like an asshole at a gangbang

>>96882324
Fantasy was the most popular GW system/setting pre End Times. Even more so than 40k, in Japan I mean.

>>96882324
Check out some of the jp warhammer stores profiles to pick up hashtags in Kanji and then browse those.

>>96882324
I think my algo got combined by my wallpaper hunting, which happen to involves a lot of Japanese photogs/profiles. They just take damn good pictures. But then it crosses with Warhammer and now most of the hobby related posts I see are from someone Japanese. Happy it's growing over there at least.

>>96882499
They take the same quality picture we do. There's just more photographers because a camera takes up very little space in their Japanese autism containment cell(apartment), so there's more good photographers because of the larger sample size, not because they're better than us

>>96882665
But what if they ARE better than us? What if they're mogging us RIGHT NOW?

Is there a way to check the price history on something online? I swear I remember plastic cement costing like $5, now it’s $12 on eBay.

>>96882937

Copium here but what if Mosscairn is the new Warcry edition location?

>>96883015
look I love ghyran as much as the next guy but I dont want more fucking trees

>>96882963
I could have sworn there was more death dealer clones but these two were the only ones I could find. Maybe there's more old world models like that

>>96882963
But who gets which rider?
War obviously goes to Khorne
Pestilence is Nurgle
But Death and Famine? Not really aligned with any.

>>96883065
War and death is probably interchangeable between tzeentch and Khorne.
Famine to me feels like slaanesh.

>>96883073
>Famine to me feels like slaanesh.
Hey I'll take any excuse to make Tarrare into a Slaaneshi daemon/follower. Slaanesh needs a sort of insatiable Gorger type

>>96883065
>Pestilence

>>96883100
Conquest is gay and is basically the same thing as War

>>96883065
Death goes to khorne, blood and skulls and that
Pestilence is nurgle
War is Tzeentch, change and fate and all that
Famine is slaanesh because uhhh, anorexia to make yourself look better or something. Famine is kind of a hard fit here.

>>96883112
>Conquest
The correct choice was never more obvious

>>96883044
Wasn't there a wight king similar in pose to that

>>96882916
Don't buy plastic cement. The Tamiya airbrush CLEANER is practically the same recipe and comes in long, thick, and girthy bottles.

>>96883123
ehhh, kind of a stretch but sure

>>96883134
it's worth having at least one of those bottles because it comes with a nice brush inside the cap for applying the cement, and makes it easier to make sprue glue.

>>96883146
Without a doubt, but given he mentioned he remembered the price, it's safe to assume he has purchased one in the past. In a pinch you can use a throwaway synthetic paintbrush, but unless you keep it saturated, it'll turn into a solid toothpick so leave the tip dipped in the bottle or cap

>>96883073
>>96883114
Famine as slaanesh works in a weirdly inspired way. Rather than a sickly, malnourished thing, it would be a morbidly obese individual, representing famine not by showing you it's effects in a man, but showing you a man that looks like they could alone cause it.

>>96883134
I bet you like long, thick, girthy bottles gay boy.

>>96883240
I do like large bottles of plastic cement, you're correct. Enjoy your little sissy nub bottle. I bet you wouldn't even die if you drank your whole bottle.

>>96883277
I just use regular cement.

on one hand I want to see warcry supported and explored further, on the other, killteam just got its fucking website companion app whatever the fuck it is killed, and I would be fucking furious if GW found a need to touch warcrier. Genuinely.

>>96883662
Gw really fails to understand the value of easily accessible rules, especially for a game like warcry or killteam.

>>96883704
Lack of serious competition gives GW a carte blance to be as greedy as they want.

>>96883662
I think if warcry gets another edition that it'll probably turn into kill team in more ways than one. Likely they'll launch the season and leave the list builder alone and then kill it halfway through. Start downloading everything. Just to be safe. The cards are gonna be hard to find if warcrier goes down so at least grab the ones you need for your dudes

>>96883739
Sick cypherlord bro

>>96883757
Thanks buddy. I had a lot of fun with them for how quickly I did them all. I'm glad I've got a second box of them so I can press mould the helmets and use them for darkoath or kairics or something. I never would've expected them to get so expensive

Is there a full scan of the Helsmisths of Hashut already?

>>96883847
I don't think so but I can snap some pics for you tmo if you've got something you wanted to see

>>96883847
there is. Ill have to get around to making a small mega for it I guess.

>>96883847
Wasn't one posted a few threads ago? Was like 500 mb or something though

>>96883847
https://gofile.io/d/8N1A33

Alright, I know nobody asked for it, but based on my viewing on Jp twitter, stormcast and Helsmiths seem fairly popular on social media there. It seems like a healthy mix though, iron jaws, variations of undead, cities.
Sadly didn’t see any elves.
I’ve only seen 1 tow dwarf army and a handful of chaos and empire.
40K was just marines and nids.

>>96883957
No it's interesting to see what armies are popular in different parts of the world. Despite our resident flopposter helsmiths actually seem to have done pretty well, honestly a bit surprising since their reception was more mixed than usual. Solid fluff seems to have done them a big favour.
Sidenote, but it's weird that gw never comitted to a full japanese army in fantasy or aos. It's a very popular aesthetic worldwide, compared to cathays china which is relatively niche outside of, well, china.

>>96883957
Yeh gooks like sce from what i saw. Might have something to do with those special gacha boxes GW makes there, i saw a lot of them

>>96883973
>outside of, well, china.
china big tho

>>96883981
Yeh and not well known for respecting copyright as well as renown for prioretising own copies over foreign originals

>>96884001
Lmao you haven't met a lot of Chinese people then.
Incredibly materialistic, essentially Asian Jews (this is self described) in money grubbiness. That comes with a desire to show off the wealth, and you don't show off with knock offs. Because knock offs are so available there it's seen as low class. The Chinese people with the money to participate in Warhammer aren't using knock offs they are flaunting that they can buy the real thing

>>96883981
Of course, but neither warhammer nor wargaming in general seems like it's getting their foot in the door. In japan there's at least a little bit of interest. I guess cathay was their way of trying to be the first in the chinese market? Taking a risk like that can pay off huge, though idk if it really drummed up much interest in this case. To use a sports example, the english premier league made an effort to broadcast matches for cheap in asia and africa in the early 2000's, and it's paying dividends now that the middle class in those regions is growing, and they all grew up watching chelsea and man united or whatever. I guess gw was angling for something similar.

Amazing, thanks a lot Anon!

Is the new gitmob spearhead good?

>>96884174
value wise? yes
In its own game mode? I have yet to seen it played but its got a fuck ton of stuff compared to other spearheads.

>>96884174
>>96884185
I remember it being pretty good. Just lots of mobility and the damage issue isn't as hindering in spearhead

Anybody got the Abraxia novel?

Does anyone have a list of the books/booklets that came with Warcry? Kinda wanna track them down and collect them.

What's next for Spiderfang?

>>96884387
Realistically? squatting
Hopefully? A full refresh, probably with moonclan gits instead of the semi-native forest gits. Maybe with some other creepy crawlies like the centipede.

>>96884376
Through its entire publication history? It's a lot.

I think that's most of it, including the Crypt of Blood booklet. Not accounting for Bladeborn stuff, free WarCom downloads, or any of the many WD articles. They've gotten a lot out in the six years or so since the game launched.

>>96884432
If I just wanted fluff, which would you have someone prioritize the most?
Also man, I’ve never wanted gw to regurgitate content so much as now.

>>96884441
The first core book, Catacombs, and Red Harvest are the ones I'd recommend going for first if all you want is fluff. Other supps from 1e have interesting tidbits as well, but they're mostly buried in flavor text for quests and rewards. The big books have meatier descriptions of the setting in general.

>>96884387
removal of the spider riders and aracnarok kits

release of a kit of moonclan mounted atop monstrous spider-squigs
release of the gullet spider-incarnate as elemental manifestation for the faction
update of the moonclan grots kit where one in 5 gits is a scuttling

>>96884601
Spider-squig-troll hybrids incoming
>gallet Spider incarnate
I wonder if they're ever going to adress thst RE. It's like 3+ years old atp

>>96884387
Squat

>>96884601
>update of the moonclan grots kit where one in 5 gits is a scuttling
the scuttling bullshit rightfully died with silver tower

>>96883973
>Popular aesthetic
Hmm. Is it? To LOOK at, yes. But wargaming and model wise? They're sets that even now you just don't really see product lines. For years it was basically Dixons and 1st Corps for (25mm historical) models and I don't really think the situation has changed much even now, Warlord's new stuff notwithstanding. Even the old 1/72 soft plastic mainstays like Revell, HaT or Italeri never really went there.
Of course, given it's GW the ACTUAL answer is most likely that none of the designers were really so enthused about any concepts that they pushed and lobbies for the range rather than sales data (I always think this is the true meaning of the infamous "no market research" quote) and then the 'product line stasis' set in.

>>96884712
I gotta admit I have no experience with historicals so I'll take your word for it. Why would that be you think? It's a very recognizable aesthetic, and the sengoku jidai is one of the few non western conflicts even the most surface level history buffs have heard of (even if not in detail)

>>96884692
no, it didn't, you'll get more of it
maybe it will be the netters, maybe it will be the archers, maybe it will e the guys on spider-squigs, but there will be more scuttlings

>>96884712
I think the problem is war gaming isn't popular in japan so because it's mostly a european thing, most non-fantasy stuff involves european or american wars. There is so much potential in a Sengoku era or Bakumatsu era war game but obviously most of the people playing war games don't know anything about those and wouldn't care about the setting. Japanese stuff is extremely popular in videogames so I don't think it's much of a jump to say that it has strong potential for people playing fantasy setting wargames. IMO, a lot of the more interesting stuff in warhammer designs is when they lean into specific real cultures, like aztec lizards or egyptian skeletons. Now that I think about it, a chinese/japanese theming for ghosts and spirits would completely sell me on nighthaunt. So much potential there

>>96884739
If they do end up squatting the spider units like most people think they will, these guys are 99% most likely to go with them. I think there's a decent chance spiders and scuttlings get sent to TOW cuckshed with beasts of chaos.

>>96884836
the only scuttling at the moment is in the gobbapalooza, they're not removing that from aos

What's the ETA of the AoS-themed MtG set?

>>96884836
Scutling were very prominent in aos concept art but the only thing that really csme from is is the silver tower dudes and the one gobbapalooza stinger guy. I don't think either of those are showing up in tow desu

>>96884910
We already had Secret Lair during the last WotC x GW colab

>>96884940
Where they misspelled Archaon.

>>96884945
Well at least the printed him over a cEDH card, so he's good instead of gimick trash like Abadon

>>96884945
Lel i keep forgetting it's not archaeon all the time too, but lmao

>>96875260
Release sigmarines where buffed niggas but had no tomboys or buff lasses

So they had to tone down their minis and remove their cloth skirt

>>96875411
The heroes (except the knight) weren't interesting to me, should have been a seraphon hero (since they hate plague niggas)

I think everyone is more interested in the enemy minis once we get the preview

Surprisingly Starseer's Ruin opens with dramatis personae. The Abraxia novel did as well. That's not been common for AoS novels in the past but I suppose it's how things will be done going forward.

>>96885099
Oh, is it out? Hopefully someone posts it soon.

>>96885116
Nah it's just a sample from fnac.

>>96885099
>only eleventh bell

>>96884387
Im actually surprised they dont have frontline grots

Savage/spider-themed looking grots with poison spears/blades or bows, but i guess the stabbas do the job

>>96885023
A seraphon hero would be perfect for warhammer quest man.
>>96885099
>half the characters in this book about non-humans are humans (again)
FUCK

>>96885228
how could you EMOTIONALLY RESONATE with them if they aren't HUMAN though?

>>96885228
The short was largely from the POV of Irixi. So I have a small kernel of hope the author keeps it that way. He seemed up to the challenge of writing a non-human intelligence.
