>>98886226>TQ1. No.2. I just hope it leads GW into making better quality lore for AoS. They couldn’t make it connect well with the realms and couldn’t/wouldn’t make the effort to flesh out the individual canon slices of the realms enough to make people care about the setting.
Imagine you were wanting to start playing the armies featured in this year's Christmas Battleforce lineup, which ones would you buy, which would you pass.Imagining this for each army individually of course, not that you're buying multiple boxes for different armies at once.

>>98886254buy:>Ironjawz>SD>Nurgle>Citiespass>Stormcast>Nighthauntspearheads + starter havestuff that interests me more for Stormcast and don't like Nagash
>>98886254I literally can’t bring myself to pick up maggotkin, I don’t know why. It just feels like I would be betraying myself if I did, even if I think the models and rules are nice. I guess iron jaws is something, I would probably pick up multiple boxes. Also fuckin sucks there’s no helsmiths box.
>>98886262Did they really have to show the finecast jug lord instead of anything else

>>98886280Why wouldn't they show him? He's cool.
>>98886262Disappointed by how they didn't show any of the truly batshit old champions like "Slaanesh guy who is half-fly" or "Cyborg Khorne guy with a chainsaw arm, treads for a foot, and a homunculus sticking out of his head"
>>98886262Disappointed they didn't have one for Marauders overall instead of just showing DarkoathWhere is this old Nurgle Warrior on the far left from?
>who was the last world even made for?Me. I hated AoS lore but i found a couple minis cool>So are you going to buy aos now?No lmao
>>98886309
>>98886318you know nothing about AoS lore though, so how can you hate it?
>>98886226That’s some damn cool artwork. What is it depicting?
Sucks that we haven't had any good Age of Sigmar games. Imagine how cool a moba or JRPG would be
>>98886226End Times is upon us, can they stick the landing like Fantasy?
>>98886226>1) are you getting any of the christmas battleforces?Nope, I don't have that kind of money>2) whaddaya think of the new leaks?I prefer onions
>>98886262Man, I wish GW did more with the Slaaneshi serpents. I always loved the look of those things. It's criminal there's no modern kit for the lord, riders, or just the serpents themselves.
>>98886283Rob confirmed these are a new chaos army, probably the blacksteel autarchy
>>98886381lightning gheists escaping a rather bleak citadel, I'd say
>>98886439>confirmed>look inside>clueless speculation that goes against what the original leaker said about the images he posted
>>98886262Well would you look at that, they're actually capable of comparing models across game systems. If only they had unlocked this arcane technology when doing the friday showcase articles...Sidenote but I have never seen anybody build the harbringer with the bell option lol
>>98886226>TQ1) Nope. My main army is pretty much complete. I have a small Eldar Corsairs project on the side and I'm not looking to start any new army. Or at least Christmass Battleforces don't make me want to start one. I was toying with an idea of Chaos Knights but I don't want War Dogs, just the big boys, so the box is meh. As for the AoS side of Battleforces, none of the armies are interesting to me. 2) I'm kinda excited. There's some stuff happening soon and it has a potential to be cool. It might turn out shit, but the bit of uncertainty got me excited. I liked AoS lore, but no one ever give it a serious go. There's a number of fantasy worlds with numerous different worlds or planes of existence like Planescape, Magic or even fucking Mortal Kombat. People have been enjoying them for decades. You don't hear "Oh, but this Earthrealm and Outworld stuff is confusing!" or "I don't get how the Abyss is fighting the Nine Hells? Where's the map of that?"
>>98886439Did he really? Because that's not what the leakers themselves are saying lolHas he literally ever been right when "leaking" something that hasn't already been talked about by other people?
>>98886226>TQ1:No, the interesting part of the christmas battleforces is getting a good range of models on a discount. Half the boxes are just another 10% discount on top of my LGS discount for buying 3 of the same kit. Totally not worth anything to me. >TQ2:I don't see the point. Why make AOS into WHFB 2.0 when they already re-released WHFB? Maybe 4 years ago it would have made sense, but why now? Is the difference going to be just one is for grognards that want square bases and one is for hip and cool youngsters that want round bases?
Anything hinted at how the rules in 5e will play out? Seeing how giants and dwarfs were done these last few tomes I’m wondering if the edition will be less lethal than it is now
>>98886477Pretty sure he just wants attention. Best to just ignore him
>>98886309>Disappointed they didn't have one for Marauders overallThey were never really anything more than just a chaff unit.
>>98886528Nothing much about gameplay changes. Something about magic working differently though. Also some vaguer stuff about the double turn possibly going?
>>98886528I think it's way to early for that.
>>98886528Double Turn gone allegedly
>>98886462>There's a number of fantasy worlds with numerous different worlds or planes of existenceThe realms aren't even that esoteric, they're not different dimensions or anything. They're more like a magic solar system.
>>98886569But you see it’s not just on earth with elf Atlantis in the Atlantic so it’s bad
>>98886439I love how people are spreading false rumors. All that he said is that they don't really look Cathay, more like Mongols maybe, and they have spikes, so spikes are generally for evil guys and not Cathay, so probably some new Chaos. He made an educated guess and people are already "confirmed!!!" Now others will spread it as some kind of truth revealed.
>>98886569Can you starjam between them?
>>98886569I think the main problem with the realms is that it's boring rather than esoteric.The realms are just the elemental planes from D&D, but with more of them and no one thinks the Elemantal Planes are all that interesting compared to there D&D cosmologys.
>>98886587Wasn't the rumoured China expy for TLW meant to be a nomadic snake-worshipping culture that controlled a settled population?
>>98886606I doubt it since Cathay sells better than most of OW combined so they’re all in on “China is the best” so them being portrayed as kinda evil wouldn’t do
>>98886587rob has insider info he also leaked Nagash getting replaced
>>98886594I don't know what that means but if you're asking if you can just travel between them in a spacecraft then yeah seraphon seem to imply so
>>98886594Troggs had UFOs they buried and lost before becoming stupid so yeah
>>98886652If Rob has connections they love lying to him because like 90% of his "rumors" are incredibly wrong.
>>98886594Fuck, I was thinking about Spelljammer. Starjammers are in Marvel...But it would actually be a pretty cool new army. Living between the Realms on big ships and raiding whatever they feels like. I don't think that either Chaos or Order need another faction but either Destruction or Death would be neat. Vampire Coast but Spelljammer? Greenskins but Illithids or Githyanki?
>>98886736>Living between the Realms on big shipsthats the lizards.
the new chinese faction looks like a massive step up from cathay at least, not that thats hard to do.
>>98886396We don’t even really have great games for any of them really. GW has yet to realize the bank they could make by really cracking the game market.>>98886407Slaanesh in general has a lot of cool aspects that have been kind of shafted>>98886462>>98886569>>98886595It’s basically just D&D realms but with a Norse flavoring, better than the former imo because they aren’t just the elements totally
>>98886732cope
>>98886788>check his one confirmed rumour giving him a perfect score>>nurgle may be the next release after chorfsSo this is the power of TGA
>>98886799this is only new leaks he had leaked prior: FEC notably
>>98886762Yeah, but they never went into that, at least not heavily. We had this star demons or whatever initially but they quickly abandoned it and went back to Aztec lizards on bigger lizards.
>>98886863Never liked the astral memory daemons of order stuff. Was kind of antithetical to /yourdudes/. Current implementation of coalesced and starborne is much better.
>>98886396Some were wip but pulled the plug behind the scenes the moment they caught hints of the ip getting mutilated in near future
>>98887056There was that nexon game that looked terrible, mainly because of how cartoon old maggotkin and nurgle in general looked. I wouldn’t mind an entire game fighting just the new maggotkin range.
>>98886396We got a moba actually
When are we getting official terminology for the new corners of the last world >>98887069It was a shitty phone game that looked like it was competing with smite
>>98887056Yeah no that's not why the nexon thing got axed.I mean twwh was in development while gw was actively killing fantasy
https://discord.gg/Yc8Z7phrJoin this plz
>>98887091Whatcha mean "new corners"?>>98887102Fuck no lol
>>98887068Not just only that, but in today's atmosphere nobody is willing to gamble millions or tens of millions dollars and years of development on a very likely, massive uphill battle project to bring forth the IP, COMBINED with the hint or outright knowledge that the utilized IP will become obsolete in a few years
>>98887101The two are very different ordeals, and gw very notably never cared about total war warhammer until 3
>>988862261. No, I have full armies2. What new rumours?
>>98886396I don't like mobas or most of the multiplayer games because I like mostly story driven games, or at least something that let me have a progression of a character. All those one match and replay from the beginning that mobas, shooters or fighting games have are not for me. JRPG on the other hand would be pretty neat. RIOT actually at some point had this thing when they did different smaller games set in the world of LoL, one of those games was Ruined King: A League of Legends Story, a pretty neat JRPG. Something in that format would fit AoS really well.
Are we at 80% confirmation that they are going to merge into one planet with one world map?It sucks that there is no lore or mythos about the setting such as in fantasy or 40k.
>>98886396Realms of Ruin could have been good if they made it more of a fantasy DoW1 or a more tanky BFME instead of the weird pseudo-moba feel they went for.Most others were uninspired small budget games.
>>98886782>Slaanesh in general has a lot of cool aspectsIt's not just the models, but the rules have been shafted as well. I loathe that GW hates scatter dice and pretty much refuses to include them in main studio games. I just want to run a HoS force with rules for drunk units and getting other units drunk. I want to turn my games into absolute shitshows where everyone can only control what's going on half the time.Comp faggotry was a mistake.
>>98887229According to leaks, which are usually working with imperfect information even when correct as the actual people leaking typically don't know anything about AoS before they pass it on to the TGA leakers.
>>98887229I wouldn't mind the compromise option of keeping the realms as they are, but nabbing a bunch of continents from them and smashing those together into a Battleworld as a bright mirror of the Eightpoints.
GW always tended to commit to something then abandon it before finishing. The first time I've noticed it was during the 3rd edition of 40k. They were riding the hype of the Imperial Inquisition thanks to Dan Abnett's Eisenhorn and decided to release 3 codexes, each for one of the main branch of the Inquisition. We got Daemonhunters (which was basically Grey Knights + Ordo Malleus Inquisitors), Witch Hunters (Sisters of Battle + Ordo Hereticus Inquisitors) and... no, they abandoned it before we got Alien Hunters.
>>98887298Yeah, it was same with the whole BoC vs Yndrasta storyline and even the whole two CoS crusades with a hook where one will triumph and the other fall (both fell lol.)
>>98887229we were at 100% confirmation over a month ago
>>98887358No, we weren't.
>>98887202We got a blurry map and some pics of the blurb guys from the core book. Lemme try and find the map in the last thread.Okay yeah here it is. In typical leaker fashion it's one hell of a potatocam but it tells us a surprising amount
>>98887363What are you going to count as confirmation if not the appearance of a special character whose name and backstory related to this incoming catastrophe is revealed as the rumors said?
>>98887382Speaking of the picture, do we know what's the northern continent? Does if fit any of the previous maps?
>>98887348>one will triumph and the other fall (both fell lol.)Wdym? Verdigris was founded and is doing alright for itself. Did you confuse it with the Phoenicium?
>>98887384It didn't confirm the actual catastrophic event. It just confirmed the character so just the part of the rumor/leak. Sure, it made it more believable but rumors are never 100% confirmed until they're out or there's a massive leak like the whole book being leaked.
>>98886554>Something about magic working differently thoughAh fuck they better not go the way of 40k.
Surely they won't blow up the entire setting without doing major revamps to existing factions or adding new ones?
>>98887348Isn't verdigris doing fine?
>>98886652He didn't "leak" Nagash getting replaced. He suggested Nagash in a battleforce box might mean they're trying to empty the shelves before a new model is released. Everything he said was speculation, he explicitly said so.
>>98887405>It didn't confirm the actual catastrophic event.The character is about the catastrophic event, and in the same string of rumors.Why would that be correct but not the rest somehow?
>>98887443I find trying to read the tealeaves to be tiresome. GW seems to be responding to outrage against this game from a decade ago by reverse-engineering the many of the exact trappings of a different game that this game was created to get away from, and this tendency is apparently accelerating even after a whole third game was created with the specific intent of providing all the things people liked from the first game and that they couldn't from the second. It doesn't matter whether I can accurately guess at why any of this is happening, so I'm just gonna say that from the outside it looks like complete nonsense.
>>98887389Given the presence of what appears to be a chaos symbol I assume that's the northern chaos waves 2.0. Afaik the major rumoured landmasses are:Aqshy/chamon/ghur continent (pictured in the map)>Gyran/shyish continent>Hysh continent>Ulgu continent>Lustria 2.0 continent>Northern chaos wastes>Southern chaos wastes(Azyr mia)
>>98887443i tell you what, they're like 1 or 2 big squattings away from losing their entire player base as it is. consumer confidence has been dropping like a stone every time they delete someones collection, and the last 2 editions of AoS they have been deleting armies faster than at any other time in warhammer history apart from the end times. the one thing that keeps warhammer going as a game brand despite its price is its percieved longevity and security that its not some fly by night game that will disappear in a few years, but the more they keep legending or outright deleting peoples shit, the more they shake that foundation
>>98886254Nurgle is cool and diverse, the others are centerpiece traps or spam builds. Wouldn't want to start that way.
What's a good model/kit to try night haunt?
>>98887602the cheapest chainrasps you can find on the second hand market, since they were in a starter and in very cheap magazines
>>98887602Whichever flavor of ghost infantry you can get cheaplyThey're all great models with the same skin/cloak/weapon painting principles
>>98887602Grab a leader Knight of Shrouds, Lord Vitriolic or Kurdoss Valentian is a nice one. Nighthaunt are a breeze to paint if you have an airbrush and they turn out great.
Why would Games Workshop want to appeal to WHFB fans by blowing up one of their most profitable IPs? This whole Last World thing is ridiculous, and I do not believe any part of it
>>98887689It's not to appeal to fantasyfags but to 40kfagsregardless of whether you believe it it's happening and it will prove more successful
>>98887695Why will it prove more successful?
>>98886368Someone explained the Mortal Realms to me and they sounded dumb.
>>98887714Ok, so the setting isn't for you. That's okay
>>98887689>>98887695It's not necessarily about whfb or 40k fans, it's about people like this guy >>98887714Though I have to say if that leaked map is legit all the drama about turning it into a whfb-shaped world is vastly overstated. It's just the realms but together now.>>98887714Let me guess by the way, infinite planes of existence?
>>98887702because it's adding one degree of separation from the stink that was the launch of aos and the murder of the old worldbecause it's making the setting more familiar and easier to digest for complete outsiders in both content and atmosphere because it's being coordinated with a concurrent secret level episode and a starter set that focuses on the most popular and evergreen faction (chaos warriors)because at its core, the whole ordeal is about shedding the parts of the setting that writers weren't ever going to explore or address in the first place and rewire everything else around what they already did and the scope they are already capable of writing, resulting in a more coherent and dense setting
>>988862261. No, I don't buy special characters.2. Might care, might not. If GW keeps the RoR that lets me use non-humans in CoS? Sure I can give a shit. If not? Then it's time for me to move on.
I never played AOS before but i really like how the models look. I really like the chaos knights and the undead skeletons. Can you run them both in the same army or do they have to be played in their own army separately?
>>98887751>because it's adding one degree of separation from the stink that was the launch of aos and the murder of the old worldGive it time>because it's making the setting more familiar and easier to digest for complete outsiders in both content and atmosphereI doubt that's the best way this can be done>because it's being coordinated with a concurrent secret level episode and a starter set that focuses on the most popular and evergreen faction (chaos warriors)¿Que?>because at its core, the whole ordeal is about shedding the parts of the setting that writers weren't ever going to explore or address in the first place and rewire everything else around what they already did and the scope they are already capable of writing, resulting in a more coherent and dense settingLike what?
>>98887755They're different armies, chaos and undead don't really mixBut I don't think anyone would give much of a shit if you told them you're using skeletons and skeleton horsemen to count as marauders and marauder horsemen in a chaos army
Noldorfag once cited female elf x male human relationships in lore as the reason AOS is bad.
>>98887751>because it's making the setting more familiar and easier to digest for complete outsiders in both content and atmosphereis this a solar system?completely imcomprehensible. I need my LOTR ripoff!
>>98887755Fun fact, in list builders like New Recruit you can just mash armies together even if they don't belong. wink wink
>>98887773oh ok. Which spearhead box would you reccommend getting between the two? those are like the combat patrols right?
>>98887382So same as before, it's a lore change and that's it. Instead of realms they're continents etc nothing really changes
>>98887763>Give it timeThey gave it 10 years and that wasn't enough, killing the mortal realms like the old world was killed in the end times will be seen by many as a sort of karmic rebalancing and has good chances of working to separate the IP from its disastrous reputation.>I doubt that's the best way this can be doneit's not the best, but it's one that can achieve that>¿Que?age of sigmar is getting an animated episode in the secret level anthology series, 40k got one previously and it was a massive success even amongst people who knew nothing about warhammer, gw is hoping one such episode for aos can be used as trampoline for the ip into mainstream acknowledgement and the timeframes for the making and release of this episode match the ones for the decision and launch of aos's new edition and revamped setting>Like what?demigod characters instead of actual god characters; city states and simple continental landmasses instead of untold numbers on near limitless realmscapes; grimdark instead of mythic high fantasy
>>98887774Noldor is so buck broken by the very idea of male human x female elf that he went insane. It would be funny if it was not so stupid.
>need to slap some mud on the base, some highlights on the bone, paint a banner and I’ll be done with with my Skeleton Spearhead>zero motivation to touch itI don’t get myself sometimes. I bought the damn box in January lmao.
>the last world happens>instead of being a crudely drawn Earth, it’s instead a crudely drawn Mars (if it had water ofc)How would you react?
>>98887784>completely imcomprehensibleTo a marinepig? yes, unironically.
>>98887842Mars looks like fucking shit though, even the bottom feeders in the worldbuilding thread could do better.
Is spearhead as a game format overrated or justly praised?
>>98887872I think it could work with some edits
>>98887878It's just a solid, light'n'short game that's better balanced due to being balanced around premade groups. Plus being made by Warcry guy helps.
>>98887886I can see the vision, but it just doesn't work as well as a shameless copy of the old world
>>98887924I mean, marsworld is just a random arrangement, by contrast this is so hilariously derivative that it circles back into being poetic
>>98887229in the sense that this >>98887280 is probably the most likely scenario sure>>98887298>stop before we get the coolest onefucking sucks man
>>98887872I think with a few million years of coastal erosion would make a more compelling map. Geopolitics on the western side of the eastern continent would be insane, though.
>>98887842I mean from the looks of things it's going to be neither, it'll just be the realms smashed together>>98887872Absolutely dogshit topography, earth mogs. Venus also has some nice looking stuff, but DO NOT look up mercury. Absolute travesty
>>98887774What a tool (whoever that is). Everyone knows Elves love BWHC.
>>98887878its appropriately praised. GW has needed a good small format all in one box game for a while. the points per model versions were too prone to jank and imbalance, but combat patrol had wonky issues with wargear loadouts. kill team is too granular and convoluted, and warcry is too small and bespoke (a warcry team doesnt easily form the start of an army like a spearhead).spearhead does well with giving a good sample platter introduction to the army, and the small board size makes every fight a turn 1 brawl since the whole thing is a cage match. the random objectives and twists keep it pretty fresh and unpredictable too. are there things that could be improved? sure. but as a rapid fire brawler game mode thats somewhere inbetween an actual battle and a skirmish game, its one of the best out there.
>>98887984continental drift would do way more than coastal erosion, problem is we can't account for that
>>98888019True, we don't have continental plate data yet as far as I know. If I had to guess, I'd say the middle sea shrinks, west continent splits down the middle, the two straits on the eastern continent become one and make a new island in the central sea.
>Several continents comprise the Last World. They are varied in their terrain as well as the density of their populations. Pieces of the Mortal Realms that preceded them are embedded in each of them, stitched together and their essence rewritten by godly magic that can never again be replicated. They are all that remains of what once was, and even this is only a sliver of the former whole. The continents are riven with earth, though the touch of Chaos has seeped into the bedrock. It can be seen or felt in wilder places, a bubbling malevolence that warps the twisted shape of trees and the malformation of rocks.>At the heart of the Last World - according to its Sigmarite hierographs - are the Heldenlands, a rain-lashed domain of forests, marshes, mountains and farmlands. Due north, frost sits in until one reaches the ice-locked edge of sanity where dark forces reign. To the south, deserts and badlands spread, though at the southern pole, the grip of cold and damnation returns. Rivalling the Heldenlands are the Darkwood Provinces. This densely forested region is where ancient rituals and the worship of dark gods endure.
>The Karujin often raid CoS, they're a powerful enemy that CoS fears (but they aren't Chaos). Meanwhile, the Karujin have loads of conflicts with their neighbouring island nation, Hanzor. The two face each other across the sea, and Hanzor has loads of sword saints (samurai) to hold off other factions. This faction actually has a lot more lore and pics, shame I haven't got them though.
>>98887255>My opponents should not be able to control the army that they presumably picked because they enjoy the rules>It's competitive play that makes the game bad!Just fuck off back to 1e so you can scream at your opponent because they sat down while playing Settra
I’m getting too old to be committed to plastic toys.
>>98888079So there are new non-Warhammer Mongols instead of not China
>>98887878overrated it's just small AoS with a choice of random battle tactics or commands, which is at least something fun
>>98887986TRVKE you now remember AoS has a novel about a wanderer who got his bussy bred by a human male and laments he couldn't impregnate him
>>98888079Thank god we have a new human faction that isn’t chaos oriented and is in more of a grey area among the current factions. I know cities can fight themselves and there are darkoath but they really needed to have a triangle system.
>>98888072>>98888079Is there a source for this
>>98887801Soulblight Gravelords (SBGL) has the better spearheads. One box is pure skellies, one is skeletons with elite vampires mixed in, both options come with good looking cavalry models and a block of skeleton warriors and in my opinion look like a proper army on the table. The chaos spearheads (I play chaos) are much worse and I recommend against them. One is an all-vikings warband but has no heavy armored chaos warrior troops. The other spearhead has a nice mix of chaos warriors and knights but has a chariot (old model, bad rules, doesn't have the same proportions due to decades of scale creep) and chaos lord on foot (likely less desirable than the mounted options for your general). If you wanted to get into chaos, look into the old Start Collecting boxes, buy the battle force this Christmas (great box, I doubt the people hating actually play chaos), or buy individual units from eBay because their popularity means people are often buying chaos warriors and then selling at low prices if they don't like the army.
>>98888133We've already had a bunch of non-Mongols in the past>Hobgoblins>Ogres>the Hung
>>98888160I particularly love the skelly box because I lets me play a pure skeleton army in a competitive way without handicapping myself.
>>98888162tbf all of those are WF rather than AoS which didn't really have any Mongol Erzats
>>98888179I mean ogors had beast claw raiders though that’s not nearly the same thing.
>>98888157Boole, of course. Backed up by Rob: The Most Honest Wargamer!
>>98888179Yeah, but AoS didn't really have factions that are almost 1:1 copy of a real world historical faction in a fantasy sauce, like The Empire - Holy Roman Empire, Bretonnia - Medieval France (with a sprinkle of Arthurian legends), Kislev - various Slavic nations, Cathay - China, Lizardmen - Aztecs, etc. Sure, there are some inspiration here and there but it's usually a mash of different things rather than one.
Hi aosg, it me, it's time to talk about minis and paints.Show me some of your minis. Today, I would like to see a small unit of your minis as they would appear on the tabletop.
I am thinking about getting into AoS with the Slaves to Darkness box. Is it worth getting two for a full army or is that too much of the same units?How would I expand the army if I got one box?
Here are some paints that I think are very good individual paints. Terrestrial Titan is a recommendation another anon gave me this past January. >>98888259Two of the box is a good choice. Every slaves to darkness list starts with your choice of hammer; either you take Varanguard or Chaos Chosen. They're basically equally good, depending on what you want the the rest of your list doing. You want a reinforced unit of one of these, and some lists run 10 chosen/3 Varanguard. From there the next step is a 20 man unit of chaos warriors as your anvil. Two of this box gets you there. From there, you decide on your general. Any mounted chaos lord (either one) or Daemon prince is a good choice for a generic list - if you really like Archaon or Belakor, you probably don't have room for all of the minis you'd get by doubling up on the box, and youd know in advance if you wanted those minis because they're too much of a commitment to get "just in case".Either way, because any mortal hero can ascend, you probably want a daemon prince either way in case you ascend one of your chaos lords during a game. From there you decide "do I like marauders?". If yes? Get a darkoath spearhead. If no? Fill out the remaining points with monsters, chaos knights (incredibly well rounded cavalry scroll), wizards, or a regiment of renown that adds shooting (Chaos dwarves or a cogfort)
>>98888298Forgot pic >>98888254
>>98888254I’ve shared this before most likely, but I also haven’t done anything new lately
>>98888259yeah, that works, there's basically nothing redundant in the box, its 100% good shit that you'll want to reinforce. if you can afford 2 boxes that would be an amazing start to the army. the plate armor guys are all the best units in the army too
>>98888317Holy shit Horruk 'Eresy World Eaters. I love them. Thank you anon, very nice. Is your white armor contrast over drybrush? Also, I don't have a good blue paint. How do you like the one you used
Are there any kits that are good for undead bits? Based on looking I'm assuming the Corpse Cart and Coven Throne are probably the two best for bits even after you build them.
>>98888298>>98888323Cool thanks, good to know. I'm mainly interested in Abraxia as an additional general model. I'm not a fan of the Darkoath part of the army, as I prefer the armor and especially the cavalry. A Sorcerer is the other model I'm thinking of getting.
>>98888019Mars doesn't really have tectonic activity lake that, does it?
>>98888412It's a dead world to the core. No activity for many millions of years.
>>98888409Abraxia synergizes with Varanguard. I would not use Varanguard AND chosen if you were reinforcing varanguard - when chosen is your hammer you focus on protecting them and your list includes choices like more screens, fast objective grabbers, or sorcerers for utility and a ward save (Oracular Visions). Your model count is higher so stuff like the Wilderfiend, and by extension darkoath in general, become better.On the other hand varanguard are more expensive but they're cavalry and get to where you need them without as much babysitting. They have a synergy with the mounted chaos lord you're getting anyway. That said, I would not run reinforced varanguard with a minimum size unit (MSU) of chosen because they will be too expensive and ineffective in a list not built around them. Which means if you like Abraxia and Varanguard, the ten chosen you'll pick up won't see much use, which is almost a hundred dollars of wasted expense for you. It may be better for you to buy the box once, and then pick up a daemon prince and Abraxia's Varanspear (an older discount box, check eBay, which contains Abraxia and a MSU of Varanguard to round you out). You'll have to do the budgeting math yourself, because you'll still be 10 chaos warriors short of your core army list if you don't get a second Christmas box, but once you have the following you're in a good spot:>abraxia (230)>Chaos lord on daemon steed (130)>reinforced chaos warrs (360, or 400 if you take the Aqshy variant warscroll)>Reinforced varanguard (580)>MSU chaos knights (240)This is about 1500 points with both a hammer and an anvil and the heroes to buff them. The remaining 500 points should be spent on either fast moving objective grabbers, shooting units from other armies, or magic to improve mobility and interact with your opponent's casters.
>>98888525Thinking about it more, shooting is less important for you because you are not a castle style army the way an infantry heavy chosen variant would be. Magic or objective grabbers are probably more important. Finally, in actual games you need to be able to score your battle tactics. One of the best ones for chaos is Blazing Onslaught, part of which requires you to damage a target in different three phases in one turn - this means some mix of spells in the hero phase, shooting in the shooting phase, impact hits in the charge phase (Chaos lord on Karkadrak), combat in the combat phase, and end phase mortal wounds (Gods wrath Warband subfaction). I would say that there is a significant benefit to taking a unit that can dish out wounds in a phase you currently don't.
>>98888346Yes! Someone else gets it! Yeah the white armor is just apothecary white over a dry brush, then I stipple on a white on top. The blue is asurmen blue and it’s very crisp. I definitely recommend if you like the color of it. If TLW occurs as leaked, I might need to change the army name as it’s the Realm Eataz
>>98888208A sprinkle is quite the understatement>>98888254Love your stuff anon
>>98888570I love you too, anon, that's why I only post my WIPs here. >>98888560Honestly the last great blue paint I had was an old hex pot of blue ink from 2005 when I first tried getting into mini painting that had dried almost completely , becoming a dark blue syrup that would give the most incredible but transparent blue tone. I've just got Vallejo flat blue after that ran out and it's... Fine? It's blue, I guess? But I genuinely don't use the color blue because I don't have a paint that excites me.
>>98888259It's a fine box, other anons have already explained why you could very easily get two.It's worth nothing that According To The Rumours™ slaves to darkness will be in the 5th edition launch box in about 9 or so months.
>>98888604There is nothing that they could put in the new launch box that would make this box a bad purchase at least 1x. I don't know what to make of the chaos warriors refresh rumor (seems unlikely and unnecessary, but stormcast got one and technically the Warriors are a 7 year old release) but you'll always want a hammer and these models are all pure kino, half of them are from the 2023 release and no way are they getting refreshed
>>98887382Sad IDK are getting the squat
>>98887878Overated
I wish there was a second one of me so we could just talk to ourselves about mini painting and chaos list building all day. Vilitchmaxxing
>>98888627think I would rape that thing if you're talking about something like a cursling.
>>98888629
>>98888610I don't think they'll redo the actual chaos warriors. There would be no need for tow to go back to the 5th edition aesthetic if aos was already going in a different direction. I know the leakers said something about spikier chaos warriors, but that could mean bunch of different things not necessarily involving the actual chaos warrior kit.Though I suppose it's always possible they pull an armaggedon and have an alternate slightly different set of chaos warriors in the box, like how they have intercessors with different stuff in the new 40k box.
>>98888704I genuinely do not like the TOW sculpts for chaos warriors because they look like chosen and also look like they take a very long time to paint in nmm. You know it's a lot of work when even I'm not looking forward to painting armored infantry.

>>98887689The average consumers and customers have no idea what the setting is all about. Everyone is confused, they need to fix that.
>>98888821>The average consumers and customers have no idea what the setting is all about.this isnt true, this is just what shit for brains on 4chan repeat. they have spelled out in plain english what the setting is, how it works, and the entire timeline in the front of every core rulebook for every edition.the only people who dont know are salty grog faggots who refuse to read literally anything about the game on principle but come here to bitch about it anyways, like that one cunt who made up his entire own headcanon about what the realms were and how they worked, was completely wrong about everything, and used his headcanon to go on thread long tirades about ways the setting sucks that werent even true.
>>98888840Anon, average comment about AoS setting (outside of 4chan) is still bitching about infinite sized realms.
>>98888791>>98888785so it's just TOW again?
>>98888785>>98888791THANK YOU BOOLE! LET ME HAVE YOUR BABIES! TAKE MY 401K! LET ME FEED YOU GRAPES AS YOU LOUNGE ON PILLOWS!
>>98888860Yup.
>>98888840Thing is most non-aos players have already made up their mind, probably based on what some grog told them 10 years ago, on what aos is about and how it works. They're not going to bother reading the core rulebook to correct their misgivings.>>98888846>outside 4chanLel when the news of tlw first broke we got hit with an absolute tidal wave of posts by people going "I didn't like the infinite dimensions and that's why I never got into aos"
>>98888860>>98888896Outside of the lame chaos wastes 2.0 I don't think it's all that similar honestly. Definitely more of the mortal realms than the rumours first inplied. If anything I'm getting a little bit of fromsoft "vibes".
>>98888254As they appear on the tabletop
So Krethusa is bigger than a regular witch aelf?can anyone confirm?
>>98888958Glorious, thank you. Dark, moody colors on the model with lush vibrant bases makes them even more imposing. Those might be some of the best looking grassy bases I've seen>>98887801This is what you'd be getting with Soulblight Gravelords vampire cavalry
>>98888840>like that one cunt who made up his entire own headcanon about what the realms were and how they worked, was completely wrong about everything, and used his headcanon to go on thread long tirades about ways the setting sucks that werent even true.Oh man, that was a hilarious thread when everyone finally got tired of his shit.

>>98888629Kek>>98888840>>98889190What happened to him? Feels like all the tards talked about here have long since vacated the premises
>>98889333>Feels like all the tards talked about here have long since vacated the premisesPeople finally stopped taking the bait for the most part or we hit back.
I know there were 8 planets or whatever in the setting, but I had no idea that each planet were a infinite flat minecraft world of a setting, where nothing matters on the grand scale.
>>98886226The new leaks aren't really exciting to me.Even if I liked the new army I see zero reason to buy into anything gw related because they just drop support on a whim.I don't believe the games rules will actually get better in 5e. Lore is so disposable and shallow now, combined with armies that don't actually have an identity in line with their lore descriptions.The only silver lining I see here between 11e reception and aos lvo attendance numbers is that maybe more people will flock to non gw games or we see some 2e or 3e like ruleset pop up.
>>98889400They’re ‘functionally’ infinite, not literally, as in, it could take a person centuries to reach the end of them. Gave the writers a lot of freedom to crank things up to 11 and go wild and introduce monsters the size of continents and cataclysmic events that would have been world ending on a single planet and what not. There were still events big enough to affect them though.
>>98889439you fell for bait.
>>98889337Anyone remember the selenium supplements meme
>>98889475I only use Booleinium supplements. They have never let me down!*
>>98886254To be fair, if I was planning on getting into any of these armies starting off fresh I'd probably buy any of the boxes. However as far as ranking them goes:Best:>Maggotkin>SlavesBoth are great for the same reason. Incredibly well rounded boxes that both stand on their own and work well with their spearhead counterparts.Good:>Cities of Sigmar>IronjawzCities despite being the box I'm most likely to buy for myself, just needed one last little hero/unit to feel complete. One of the new mages or priests ideally. That being said, it pairs well with both the solo spearheads and again is the box I'm most likely to pick up for myself. Ironjawz is a pretty perfect second box after the spearhead, it's just an awkward first box. Still would get it as a newer player, though just like Cities might wait to actually build/paint it until doing one of their spearheads first. Niche:>Nighthaunt>StormcastNighthaunt box really relies on you wanting Nagash. While for a ton of people I'm sure that's a yes a decent amount of nighthaunt players, especially more game focused ones I could see just not caring/wanting him. Stormcast box is pretty decent for a freshly starting out player, but that's still a lot of annihilators. It feels like a box for people who bought Skaventide for the Skaven half, never sold the Stormcast half, and figured they'd make a good second army.

>>98889846just play them in warcry already.
40Kfag here. Wondering how does AOS list building logic work. I get regiments etc. But I mean list building logic is it more of a "subfaction skew" like say in Daughters of Khaine, if you're gonna run snake people and harpies, run all snakes and harpues, in Ironjawz, if you're running piggies, make sure majority of army is piggies etc.Or is balanced mixed list building viable and that was misinfo?Like say for the examples I used can I run a bunch of Orks and a bunch of pigs or for dark ekves a bunch of witch elves and a bunch of snakes? Or would that not be viable?
>>98889846You can already make a full army out of those things in preparation for a full release. Go paint some treemen.

>>98889998yes, but also no
>>98889986Nope... Half of entire AoS roster is stormcasts, the other half is mostly CoS humans. Few duardin. Very little representation for other order factions or races. For example no seraphon, no sylvaneth, no lumineth, no idoneth (besides the neave gang member)... Surprisingly many Daughters in the data but i doubt they wil make it to the release beside Witchblade, as their gameplay data seems variably undercooked. But as i stated above, its just demo data.

>>98890373I don't think it was mentioned, just expected some time after the book. But you are right, there is no box for Mawseekers. Maybe they forgot to print it

Well look at that the Helsmiths became anime
>>98890242>worst edition of the game ever>so bad they have to scrap the whole setting and start over>also the gayest editionj-just a coincidence...
>>98890373>>98890378They'll probably do one, will just take a couple of months. Same thing happened with gitmob, skeletons, and helsmiths. They want piggies to buy enough army sets first.
>>98890451GW should just hire a Japanese animation studio to do an anime; it worked out well for Cyberpunk
>>98890499As sweet as that can be, I'd still suggest pic related instead.Cyberpunk didn't really click due to the animation itself as much as the emotional core and character interactions, while warhammer has a narrower scope as far as those are concerned and would ideally have to rely way more on the action.

Not terribly meta and animals (Beasts keyword) all have a limitation where they basically can only cap objectives but can never contest them against humanoids. They certainly work and sometimes show up at tournaments. >magicSorcerer or a warband (Gunnar's Darkbrands, for example) with a wizard. >ShootingCogfort, Chaos dwarf Helsmiths mercenary regiment, Skaven mercenary regiment.
>>98890577it's actually still goblins, chorfs are the long lost brothers turned fiercest rivals who will undergo a redemption arc 5 minutes before the actual end so that they can stand together against the actual final boss.
>>98890577It's better than just hanging around like the Chorfs were in WFB

>>98890602ok I know that Valrak doesn't care about anything that isn't Space Marine friends, but who is his stupid friend saying that guy looks like Darkoath?
>>98890611They're all 40k secondaries. None of them know shit. They don't even know anything outside of the space marine sphere. The wider Imperium at a stretch.
>>98890525>Cyberpunk didn't really click due to the animation itself as much as the emotional core and character interactionsAnd you think a western studio has any shot of doing that…?
>>98890499I’d say Warhammer works when animated in a Genndy Tartakovsky style.
>>98890630No, that's why I was suggesting tartakovsky for a simpler, baser, but working formula of good visual storytelling and action sequences.
>>98890447>evil blessingsSounds like someone's mad their god doesn't let them be a bVll.>>98890594Chorfs were grossly underutilized in whfb. They ran the (not) Eurasian steppes basically unopposed, and they were singlehandedly arming the warriors of chaos with their weapons, armours, and war engines - but you'd never know it for how infrequently they were ever acknowledged.>>98890590I think I'd prefer to see the chorfs and dwarfs in a more of an on again, off again type alliance. They hate each other normally, but when things get really bad, they'll tolerate and work with each other. Considering the Helsmith battletome, there's precedent for it. Kinda why I don't don't like chorfs being (totally) chaos aligned. Evil? Sure. But want to dominant and rule, not break everyone's toys like chaos.
>>98890625Runefathers breed like rabbits, always more runesons to be found. Maybe they have harems.
>>98890638Only if it's ranchy sex comedy like Fixed was
>>98890657>Maybe they have haremsNah, dwarfs just work like dragons, they hoard gold not because they're greedy, but rather they are greedy about gold because that's how they build their nest and the biggest nest of gold the higher the fertility spike and mating success.
>>98890654> but when things get really bad, they'll tolerate and work with each other.>the race who's whole gimmick is never forgiving grudgesyeah nah
>>98890657
>>98890499GW wants to have people fall in love with the hobby way more than they want them to fall in love with the settings.Cute girls do cute things: fantasy wargaming, is the ideal recipe for going mainstream.
>>98890670Hold my juice
>>98890528Cheers, yeah all brushwork i'm too lazy for airbrushes. I've posted my purple sylvaneth and blue ironjawz before but I haven't painted much aos recently, I've only just started my helsmiths properly after doing some killteams.
>>98890654>Sounds like someone's mad their god doesn't let them be a bVll.no i am a hashut enjoyer
>>98890692sad sight
>>98890692kino
>>98890692>hashut enjoyer>mountain of grey plastic invalidated
>>98890664Chorfs were the more pragmatic dwarfs in whfb, which has translated over to AoS, to some degree. Unlike slayers, infernal guard could actually earn forgiveness and rejoin chorf society - something I hope GW keeps with the Helsmiths.Besides, like I already said, it's already already confirmed that the two groups did work together in the past. That means they've already split once (whfb), got back together (age of myth), and split again (current AoS). It's not outside the realm of possibility. >>98890692Paint your shit, little homie.
>>98890701>>98890717>>98890729i will paint them eventuallythe scheme will be green fire, black silver metal, brass armor/trim, and black clothAOS sucks right now and im not enthused about painting anything for this gamei have about 20,000 points of painted stormcast and a full lizardmen army, and im working on a tau army
>>98889932>No Saurus>No Seraphon at all>Not even Lord Kroak being this game's Christine nuking the whole field with the pentagram.Shall not buy. Is it really just human, elf and dwarf?
>>98889932>>WS_AOS_FREEGUILD_FUSILIERWhy?
>>98890742>i have about 20,000 points of painted stormcast
>>98890602>he thinks FEC are literally bretonniansKek it's always funny how little he knows.
>>98890760It seems like sometimes you can call on other heroes alongside your character, so I guess they have to fill out the roster with lesser fuckers for it to not look like you're calling underlings instead of heroes larger than you
>>98890798Dromgrombromdon!
>>98890787What's funnier is that gw is remaking the setting to fit with the disinfo and opinions of the ignoramus down to a T>sigmar made the mortal realms!he didn't, but now he'll be the one who made the last world >the celestant prime is karl franz!he wasn't, but now he's seemingly getting reconnected into being him all along >reforging removes the stakes!it never did, if anything stormcasts saw direr situations than marines from day one, but now they're getting their reforging taken away so they can be dragged off the field of battle bloodied and broken but not dead a dozen times over the following years like marine characters do, since they can't die by virtue of having models anyway >the mortal realms make no sense, they should scrap them and have one world!chances are they have a weaker grasp of the scale a galactic empire operates at, but apparently a solar system is too much, and yet a smaller planet is what we're getting and nothing will change in practice other than a removal of the rest of the sandbox
>>98890798>khazalid names:>the sounds of a barfing baby that was chewing on something hard>zharrlid names:>the sounds of a bayformer decepticon getting fried alive on a pan
>>98890827It won't work either. Types like valrak say they would totally get into aos if they fixed the realms or xyz other perceived issue they have, but they never actually will. Just like how they totally were going to get into fantasy right before gw axed it! (No no no tow doesn't count it just doesn't okay)They'll just keep collecting marines. I don't mind their presence as they probably fund a good chunk of gw, but trying to appeal to them in other systems is a pointless endeavor
If Kromdron should have horns emphasising width to compliment Fyreslayers decorative helms emphasising height
>>98890859>FyreslayersWe don't use that word here. It's Grimmdron thank you very much.
>>98890865fuck you bloody bastard
>>98890877shoulda been a new cav unit
>>98890877I really dislike the shovel weapons. Just give them mattocks, GW.
>>98890884>I really dislike the shovel weaponsNever before have I seen such an awful opinion
>>98890890Is this an extension of the dude shovel lmao krieg shit?
>>98890882>big salamander monster>small salamander cavalry lame, get more creative
>>98890884just a heads up, for all the flameseekers with shovels, there is an alternate head thats just a regular greataxe. not sure if the new character is similar but for the squad you dont need any shovels. only one who cant take a greataxe is the whip guy, although his hands are separate pieces at the wrist so you could convert one easy enough
>>98890877
>>98890877Boggles the mind how after 10+ years they made another fucking fyreslayer foot hero that somehow has proportions worse than the vulkites. After getting it right with the flameseekers too...
>>98890899Fyregoat cavalry.Doesn't matter now anyway. Faction got nuked into complete irrelevance.
>>98890909Don't be mean, not his fault his brains are 50% the size of what they should be.
>>98890896no
>>98890912>Fyregoat cavalry.better, but not everything in their environment should be some magical elemental animalif they've got fire on them somehow, it should be from what the dwarfs equip them with
>>98890904Looking forward to getting this kit with the spearhead. Never quite got around to getting them.
>>98890909They're the same
>>98890921It's aqshy and they live in volcanos to be fair.
>>98890899imagine, if u will. in some of the fyreslayers artwork there are flying dragon wyvern things. i thought itd be cool to have a dwarf wrangler who instead of riding it is on the ground and has it on a leash (maybe cus it on fire n too hot to ride or sum) but yea fyreslayer dude with sheer strength and weight keeps it close to the ground but on the model its flying with the connection point being the leash with the dorf holding it on the base
>>98890882>>98890899
>>98890934The dwarfs are also in aqshy and live in volcanoes, they don't get fire powers normally just for living in there.What I'm saying is that they should have runic horns.
>>98890921>but not everything in their environment should be some magical elemental animalfound the wfg tourist
>>98890944Well they kind of are, they basically put themselves on fire with blazing runes. Some have literal smoldering beards.
>>98890921They should do more dragon stuff. Like the drothblood thane, insane that he's the only one like that, imo it's the strongest design they have (aside from the good old grimwrath)>>98890925The skirt definitely exacerbates his baby legs
>>98890960>The skirt definitely exacerbates his baby legsMight just be the angle. We've only seen this pic of him
>>98890950The mortal realms don't work on pokémon logic, there are still somewhat normal creatures around whose fantastical elements aren't elemental powers of some kind.
>>98890980> there are still somewhat normal creatures aroundahh yes, thats what i want from my flaming dwarfs that pray lava elementals to life and hammer metal runes made of exploded godflesh into their skin: normal animalsits okay to admit this isnt the game for you, the old world is right next door. go play that
>>98890980They quite literally do. Plants in Chamon have metal in them. Continents in Ghur eat each other. The enter realms are formed from the winds of magic and as such, everything inside them is twisted by them in some degree
>>98890998>the enter realmsI fucked up I fucked up
>>98890991Why would they pray elemental beasts into being if they could just grab them in the garage downstairs? Your kneejerk reaction makes no sense.Do you think a mawkrusha or a manticore are normal animals just because they don't have elemental powers like a pokémon?Fyreslayers have a problem, and that's the fact the scope of their faction is too narrow and made them flanderised and samey out of the gate; making new units that are just more of the same design and more of the same gimmick isn't going to do them any good.You can have your super powered elemental lizards at the top levels of the faction, but I draw the line at giving them lizard cavalry or any other sort of similarly lava-themed critter as a normal low tier mount.No amount of dishonest boogeyman accusation will change this, or my opinion.
>>98891011Nta but they live in shit like picrel, having them pull up to battle on normal horses or goats or boars or whatnot is gonna be weird.Smaller magmadroth cavalry is fine. Besides, you can add elements to the smaller ones to make them stand out from the big uns, like how mawgruntas and goregruntas don't look the same. Maybe the cav sized ones have horns or whatever.They've already committed to the draconic motif. If you want normal animals that works for khazalites, but not FS.
>>98889445I don't know, I've seen people say that kind of stuff seriously>>98889843Not wrong but maybe just a smidge of it...
>>98890998true, but unlike say d&d realms I like that there’s some stuff around that isn’t wholly defined by it too
>>98891028You can have a fantastical goat creature that fits within them theme without needing to give it magma powers.Other factions are allowed to have multiple types of beasts as either mounts or symbols, cornering fyreslayers like this is pure nonsense.
>>98891057Maybe at the center of the realms, but not much ‘normal’ stuff is gonna survive in realms where competition has magical features
>>98890132>>98890135jej>>98890161not wholly wrong…
>>98888208They also had stuff from other sources like the Empire having some Conquostador influences but yeah
>>98891063>but not much ‘normal’ stuff is gonna survive in realms where competition has magical featuresplenty of stuff survives when competition has extra shit going on because they fulfill different niches and have different requirements if the realms worked like you say there would be nothing but godbeasts around
>>98891060They can have multiple types of beasts, they just need to be fairly draconic or lizardlike. It's be off-putting as fuck if seraphon suddenly showed up on a mammoth or whatever.I'm not advocating for goats with magma or anything, I'm advocating for no goats at all.Lizards, dragons, droths, salamanders are all fair game imo. Maybe tortoises if you wanna get a little bit crazy, though that's probably too defensive-coded of an animal for what is at the end of the day a slayer army.
>>98891105if you can imagine a kirin fitting alongside an eastern dragon, and a fantasy setting with a wide variety of chimeric beasts, you can imagine a goat with scales and the dinosaur equivalent of a mammoth.
>>98891119Hey man, if you wanna kitbash wild rider fyreslayers go ahead
>>98890798Both soulfully retarded.
>>98891060their beasts having magma powers is literally their whole theme. that IS the faction. their mounts famously have a rule where they bleed lavayou're in the wrong game and DEFINITELY in the wrong faction to be asking for normal animals
>>98891198tbf to anon they don't have to be "normal" animals. just not elementals.
>>98891198It's only their whole theme because they're a faction born exclusively out of 3 kits, 2 of which are the same infantry design with different weapons.If skaven came out today with only skryre stuff you would be pissing and moaning at the idea of them also having frankenstein monsters, plague priests, ninjas, and horned demons, because you are missing the forest for the trees by thinking that there isn't anything more that can be done or should be done. >>98891011>Fyreslayers have a problem, and that's the fact the scope of their faction is too narrow and made them flanderised and samey out of the gate; making new units that are just more of the same design and more of the same gimmick isn't going to do them any good.
>>98891198Cities have normal horses
>>98891224> by thinking that there isn't anything more that can be done or should be done.okay now you're just making up straw men. i never said they couldnt do something new. im saying theres zero reason it needs to be some boring mundane non magical creature when the whole factions theme is big magic fantastical shit. not only do you have bad opinions that want to strip a faction of their theme, but you're also arguing very dishonestly
>>98887733Some of that, it's had to get a grasp why anything is important. Like if a city falls in Shyish what's the actual affect for the controlling faction etc.?The other thing is people will say "Oh but the setting allows for infinite potential to tell stories!" But the game seems to only focus on Aqshy and Ghur pretty much, compound that with the fact that we don't really see how all these factions that are spread out across the realms, like CoS, differ from living in one realm compared to another.Lastly (and this might be explained in like a Soulbound supplement or novel idk) how exactly do the mortal factions survive in realms like Chamon, what do they eat and drink, are they just scrapping gold off the ground and trading with the Ghyran and Ghur realms?I'm not even an AOS hater, I like playing the game just fine and most of the faction designs are cool. But the setting isn't very interesting at the end of the day so I treat it much like I did with MtG when I played that, enjoy the game and ignore the lore.Would The Last World setting change how I feel? Hard to say but probably not? The only reason I could see GW trying to pull this is that maybe they see most AOS media isn't being engaged with besides the game and they're trying to draw more interest like 40k and WFB have?
>>98891255We know that Dwarves in Champn by sealing themselves off environmentally in suits and pretty much anyone that enters has to follow the same procedure, not sure about food and water but there’s an abundance of materials to trade with yeah
>>98891028>>98891198do they just have a natural heat resistance? how do they survive riding these things and being in this environment?
>>98891243You're the only one being a hypocrite.I never said it has to be a normal animal, I said that making it yet another droth or another magma pokemon isn't going to help the faction, that's because it doesn't reinforces the theme as much as keeping it as painfully limited as it's been for 10 years, if it doesn't make magmadroths and manifestations LESS special because just about everything else is also special their same way for no reason. No other faction is getting chained down the same way, no other depiction of the realms forces elemental pokemons as the only shits the faction can have, no other religious cult restricts itself to only one story of its god.The "whole faction" is ONE infantry design and ONE monster design, you can argue all you want that's all fyreslayers should ever be but again, you're missing the forest for the trees and the abysmal reception of the faction is proof that it's not enough.
>>98890001Yes and it was a really good game.
>>98891255>if a city falls in shyishI would say it's about the same effect of a random glup shitto planet falling in 40k, or even a glup shitto village in whfb. In theory it's no different than gw's other systems, but I can see why aos' presentation brings these issues to the forefront more than any other warhammer setting>only focus on aqshy and ghurThis is a very common complaint on here and totally justified. Gw are lazy hacks I suppose.>what do they farmThere's normal food and resources in each realm, but they're just more or less scarce depending on the realm. Settlements in chamon have little food and a lot of metal, so they trade with e.g. ghyran which has lots of food but little metal. Prime example is the ghyran side of hammerhal producing an absolute fuckton of food which allows the industrial aqsha side to sprawl to such enormous sizes.>>98891320Such is the power of grimnir
>>98891028Yeah, Fyreslayers are bound to Vulcatrix's children. Regular dwarfs should get goats and such
>>98890991What prayers? Only wizards in your army now
>>98891541>What prayers? Only wizards in your army nowlol, try again dummy
>>98891548Sorry, that was a low blow and I know it. But you play dorfs so maybe it went over your head
>>98891401That’s also why realmgates are so important no matter where they’re found, they could easily act as a lifeline, especially in certain realms>glupIs this the appropriate term
Which faction am I the most likely to find a saxophone in.
>>98891632Kharadrons. Sweet jazz from steampunk dwarfs

>>98889916Out of curiosity, which bands did you find to be stinkers? I've been pretty happy with all of them so far, even if not all of them wowed me (not talking about their gameplay, I am aware how the fyreslayer one and the hardboy bands for example suck rulewise even now.)
>>98891028Just realized that statue is literally just Godzilla
>>98890248Its still fucking nuts that sons of behemat cant make a solid 2000 point army without going past 2010
>>98892031Where is selenium supplementsWhere is "Karl Franz" brand steam enginesWhere is "My X is from Mortuary Factory"These memes are all tip of the iceberg memes
>>98892229They don't change warscrolls' stats, only abilities > they can only balance stuff by gutting abilities or by reducing points > SoB only has a few combinations that work at 500 points a mega > they reduce points when the army is supposed to be viable with just 4 models so now you're at 1920 points > there's nothing you can do to fill that
>>98892322What the fuck is the selenium about anyway
>>98892403Like five years ago people would make fun of the AoS 1e maps. They would have stupid names and looked like MS paint but I suppose in retrospect they also felt more fantastical and imaginative, although they were at times fucking goofy to look at. There was an anon known as mapspammer anon who would routinely post all these maps every day sort of like Soonposter (who is also not in the ice berg and should be). One day middle of the spam was interrupted by a picture of a hand holding a bottle of selenium supplements, which the board immediately pounced on because it meant that this dude wasnt a bot but actually so dedicated that they were just posting these pics daily from their phone reels.
Gitmob on foot when
>>98892515Don’t forget to add that he would shitpost the maps with the intent of making fun of the setting despite it having moved past those silly maps by saying something like “My Fyreslayers are from the Mortuary Factory” or something. Generally saying an army and a name on the map. So he added one of those captions to the selenium picture and that’s what got him found out. Hilarious day.
>>98892543never, their gimmick is gottagofastbest you can hope is for grotbag to become an addendum to their faction like spiderfangs are to moonclan, and grotbags getting an infantry unit that represents the deployable crew of one of their ships, like arkanauts for kharadrons.
>>98892543Feels like that'd be rather against their current identity.>>98892552My favourite time some shitposter got got was when some dude got asked to post models, then proceeded to grab some stormcast off reddit, flip the image, and pretend they were his. Immediately got btfo, hilarious thread. Wish I could find it.
>>98892543Holy shit
>>98892613Why would you larp as a stormcast player? Even now I still feel dirty for owning any
>>98892645He probably figured that stormcast occupy the same niche in aos as marines do in 40k.
>>98892667You know what, I'm gonna take it a step further, why even larp as an AoS player, lmao
>>98892543Great model but I hope that the answear is never ever. Unless it would be something really cool, like lycangrot with run and charge
Honest Wargamer just said the survival of the whole Nighthaunt range is in question for 5th edition
>>98892698I'm torn between mocking him because, well, it's honest wargamer, he deserves it and hoping he's right so that I never have to see those fucking ghosts again, I hate those minis with a passion.
>>98892552My Orruk Warclans hail from the Jewelflow Pools

>>98892754Inscribed at the base is a plaque… it reads: ‘nigga heil hitler’
>>98892754Everyone knows they're bad, nobody ever pretended otherwise.Do wonder how the fuck these things happened though. I know aos launch was rushed, but was there really no quality control at all for these? No one ever said yeah maybe these things will be more damaging to our image than just not having maps at all?
>>98892771They don't understand the worlds I claim with SigmarBastian hail sigmar>>98892824I actually hadn't seen them in so long that I unironically expected a wave of nostalgia and fondness to wash over me when seeing them again. This anon disabused me of that notion.
>>98892543DUDE it would be dope if those mongols for 5th were allies with gitmob.
>>98892031can i get the lore on Alan merrets idoneth punishment?
>>98892921There's a longstanding rumour (in the original sense, not in the "leak" sense it is used today) that idoneth were the pet project of someone at gw, with the two most likely candidates being alan merrett and brian nelson. Reportedly they always wanted a sea elf faction in whfb but could never make it work, so when aos happened they jumped on the opportunity. Merrett left gw in 2016, and since then idoneth have just kind of existed since nobody knows what to do with em, or so the theory goes.The punishment part is mostly just a joke about how lots of people at gw disliked merrett cause he was kind of a cunt sometimes, so idoneth getting fuckall is an intential spurning of his passion project.
>>98892990Is jumping the shaerk related to this? Was the shark intentionally goofy or something?
>>98892990oh i have heard this before. i suppose it kinda makes sense? but like surely new people that have come to gw would want to expand on idoneth. theyve got a lot of potential
For it being the year of the horse there sure weren’t that many cavalry kits this year for aos.
>>98893040There used to be a guy obsessively hating on aos. He would spam this general with "did aos jump the shaerk?" posts. He also made separate threads, at some point you had like 5 or 6 of these up in the catalogue at the same time.Apparently a mod was behind it or something, these threads always stayed up for a long time while anons complaining about them being spam got tempbans instead, just lots of suspicious shit. You can still find a bunch of complaints on /qa/ if you search the archives for shaerk.>>98893056About it being a pet project for sure yeah, wouldn't be the first time either. Maxime pastourel is basically singlehandedly responsible for death guard getting an insane amount of love in 8th edition 40k, for an example on the other side. Dunno if there's any evidence it's merrett's doing tho. The punishment stuff is just a joke though obviously.
>>98890224This reads as either the most insufferable type of SJW Tumblrite wrote this or an AI slopped it out.
>>98893111its the year of the dwarf, and for whatever stupid fucking reason, GW really hates giving dwarfs cavalry
>>98890678What if Warhammer introduced more lolis into the settings? Loli vampires and elves, loli mages/psykers, loli members of Inquisitorial retinues.
>>98890877The left one looks so static and poorly posed holy shit. How is GW allowing such bad sculpts to go to market? He looks unbelievably stiff and not at all like a guy in motion.The right one isn't great but he at least looks like he's moving.
>>98892552That anon never posted again after it.
>>98893264
>>98893275Amazing.
>>98893275My sides
>>98893234It's not so bad in person, the screenshots do them little justice.
>>98893204Functionally no difference these days
>>98893221I really like the way you think anon. Great minds think alike. They should do that. If only GW could think the same.
>>98890460>>98890242>>98890224At least they learned their lesson… right?
>>98890451Man I wish.>>98890499This would unironically make them bank if it was done right and bring in so many. Cyberpunk was frankly something of a flash in the pan and I can think of about a dozen other things more deserving that could have benefitted from it. There are so many setups you could have an animated show about. >>98890525>>98890649I wouldn’t necessarily say that. You can absolutely adapt the story and characters in an emotionally compelling way in Warhammer, all 3 of the settings, while also having plenty of action. You just need to find people who know what they’re doing. >>98890670They could have so many people more people invested in the hobby if they marketed it right. That’s all these adaptations functionally are anyway as anyone knows, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be good in their own right.

>>98892031>>98894026Remember that one Avatar fag who ate his pants?
the StD battleforce is really nice but I KNOW it's gonna be at least 250 USD and that's just ridiculous for plastic figures.Too bad cause I like their cav and it would be a nice box to get them all at once in a discount. I might just get myself a single kit of cavalry this christmas.How is the chaos lord on Karkadrak vs the one on daemonic steed? both in-game and as a kit. The karkadrak looks cool but the daemonic steed has a nice silhouette with the raised lance and flowing cloak.
Sooo.. are you going to preorder those new aos BL novels? Are you planning to buy any aos models anytime soon? Are you working on lore for your army? Attending tournaments? How's the vibes

So if I'm totally brand new, how much paints should I start with?
>>98894432Consider the starter paint set.
>>98894441Not bad, some real painting staples there.
>>98894441Thanks anonMaybe a stupid question but I assume you can mix paints from different brands without much issue? It's not like the different compositions cause any unforseen issues or anything?
>>98894192>>98894121>>98894026>>98894032They should do that again
>>98894368so close to being based…

>>98894449GW paints mix fine with each other. Mixing their paints with other brands doesn't have a convenient answer, you either experiment to find out if it works or look around to find someone who already ran the experiment before you and shared the results. On /tg/ that usually means asking in /wip/, but it's a good idea to at least keep in the back of your head that there are other online spaces where your questions might have been answered. Just taking a minute to check for youtube tutorials will sometimes be enough.
>>98894490Join me in the doomer pits.Although I must say Fyreslayers getting bombed from the setting is kind of funny knowing the whole world will be blown up next ed anyway. Why even care about anything in the lore?
>>98894449As a general thing all water base acrylics will mix but they may not mix nicely with alcohol based acrylics and certainly not oils, enamel and laquers.
>>98892824They're bad but they're also irrelevant maps for battleplans in battletomes basically no one played or looked at
>>98894432Don't buy games workshop paint, buy a Vallejo starter set is my 2 cents.
>>98888928God I hope not that would probably suck major shit
