>>52455272
Actually it's because GW doesn't actively look to make video games. They have a policy of having devs come to them and ask for licensing and work a contract out on a studio by studio basis, and at the moment, devs are coming up to ask to use the old fantasy setting, most likely because it's got 30 years of established backstory, lore, and concept art which removes the majority of work on projects. When a dev comes to request making an AoS game, then we will see an AoS game

Ironjawz are pretty elite heavy, you'll be fielding a small number of models, and they're basically melee only.

They aren't that good, but they're not terrible.

You'll probably want to get some Bonesplitter Arrowboyz in to add some shooting, if you're not after pure Ironjawz.

Wait, how many skeles in a TK box? My lgs has some TK skeles left on shelf. If 20, what I could do is get a box of them, get a tomb herald to use as a wight king with blade, and then get 2 boxes of GW skeles and use the axe wight. This way, I can get even more of the "allies in death" theme (I'm running two wight kings in 1k)

Grey with snow and blood-red grasses. White logs on bigger bases, perhaps. I wouldn't necessarily go as far as pic related, but using some more of that beautiful bright red in grasses would nicely work to unify it all together while making the mini pop.
>>
>>52457206
red grass does sound cool, I think i'll definitely look into that.
>>
>>52457171
I would honestly go with a lush dark green. With the pale and muted colors you've chosen for the body a nice grassy base will make it stand out while driving home the "force of capital N Nature" thing.
>>
>>52457244
you got red leafs on model already so using that colour on base will make base go better with rest ( but still use red in little portions with black or bronze earth)

Total Warhammer is great, but if you've never played any from the series and you don't want to take the plunge on something full-priced right away, get Medieval 2: Total War. It's basically Total Warhammer with the magic cropped out and all the armies are Empire and Bretonnia smashed together, but the core gameplay is basically the same. It should be enough to let you know if Total War games are up your alley or not.
>>
>>52457817

>>52458116 here again

If you do like Total War, be prepared to lose huge amounts of time to it. They're the kind of game where a complete campaign can span a long ass time and single play sessions can cause you to lose track of time. Bigger battles can easily last for up to an hour if you aren't the kind of player to use auto-resolve.
>>
>>52455269

Best conversions yet. I didn't think there was another kit, other than the zombies from mantic, that was worth getting. Thanks for proving me wrong.
And yea, if your aiming for an "army of the dead" theme, >>52455359 & >>52455685 are right, but not all are interested in making that type of army theme.

>I want a death army
>but I don't want an army of the dead
Wut. And yeah, you really can't go wrong with Mantic skeleton bodies even if you want to plug on JewDub heads onto them. It's also nice that they have vaguely uniform armor and the like which helps to make them look a lot more regimental than GW's more random collection of shit.

And the Mantic ones just have a lot of fun bits to them, as well. Always loved their undead models that are clawing their way out of the grave.

>>52458682

What?

>>52458755
Speaking of derp, forgot to include the image. The skulls bothered me way back when I played Tomb Kings as well, since that dumb open mouth was in the TK box as well, but theirs had enough clothing and armor on the heads to allow me to mitigate it.

>>52458775
Personally, my money's usually on Ruler of the Night. It's a really solid bonus, and helps to anchor your bone boys that much more.
>>
>>52458775
Put an infernal banner on the wight king, get tougher skellies anyway.
>>
>>52458826
But even tougher skeles with both are better, right? And won't the axe eight have a greater wound potential than the blade wight, so if I went with fury+blade, wouldn't it be better to tos it onto axe wight?
>>
>>52458854
Go for it if you think it's better.
>>
>>52458854
Not the dude you're talking to, but I'd definitely agree with that. Not that I'd fuss with Red Fury anyway. Skeletons and zombies alike are attribution forces who will their battles less through being able to make mince-meat of things as they do simply enduring and persisting. My vote would always be Ruler of the Night on a Wight King with an Infernal Banner. That fucker turns into a rock to anchor your skeletons through damn near anything.

The axe makes a great hero-killer, though, thanks to its rule. It's a real shame that the one you want to anchor in place is the one that gets a mounted option, as opposed to the one you want to hunt down heroes.
>>
>>52458908
So which artifact would you recommend? I can still toss a tomb blade to the axe wight, or I could also give something a sword of unholy power, for that surefire summon.
>>
>>52458955
I'd stick with the Tomb Blade. The automatic summon is nice, but if a botched summon loses the game for you, you have bigger issues. And again, the Tomb Blade builds upon further helping to anchor your line. The only mild issue is I don't believe you can use it in tandem with single-wound models, but I might be wrong about that.

Speaking of which, don't necessarily think that 160 points of summoning -has- to be a hexwraith. It can just as easily be more skeletons, and you don't have to put them towards anything until you summon. It's just a 160 point summoning pool, not 160 reserving to summon hexwraiths.
>>
>>52458995
Fair enough, but I can only summon 10 skeles at a time.
>>
>>52459010
Most likely, yes. But there's always the chance of getting a combination of 5's and 6's. And even if you only summon 10, that's still a unit of chaff that you can toss out there to block charge lanes and generally gum up your opponent's plans.

Good thing those other armies can't put out the sheer volume of firepower that Freeguild can! Also do you seriously have a problem with more than one army having good shooting? What's next? Maybe Orcs shouldn't be good at melee because Khorne exists? Fuck off.

You can still run a list with Empire or Reiksguard Knights. They're still valid for play. Just if you're trying to buy them new, you're gonna have a bit of trouble. Demigryph knights however shred face.

>>52460972
Basically Archaon won, Sigmar possessed Karl Franz and used him as an avatar, and Mannfred betrayed everyone so the world blew up. The souls of everyone who lived in the Old World have been reconstituted in new bodies across the Mortal Realms, and the equivalent of the Empire is, as people have been saying, the Free Cities.

Freeguild are still a viable and relevant army and you can still go hard for that Empire aesthetic because it's pretty much confirmed that elements of Old World culture persist in the Cities of Sigmar.
>>
>>52461740
>nothing more
Freeguild Guard with swords and shields at 30 or 40 are one of the best tarpits in the game. They soak up damage like nothing else. Also, Demigryph Knights are fucking great.
>>
>>52461740
>>Good thing those other armies can't put out the sheer volume of firepower that Freeguild can!
>Such as..?
>Well except legacy armies.
The only newer army that put out more shots than Freeguild is Bonesplitterz, but they lose out on quality. When you say other armies outdo them, I assume you mean Stormcast and Sylvaneth. As I already said, they can't match Freeguild in volume of firepower. They may have longer range, and some units have more powerful shots, but those are elite ranged units that have few shots.

>>
>>52460972
Most of their military units are now in Freeguild. Start there and add some Collegiate Arcana or Ironweld Arsenal or Devoted of Sigmar to taste I would advise to do Freeguild+1 and not try to squeeze everything into one list. So if you like some magic, go with Collegiate, if you got a boner for gunpowder go Arsenal and if religious fervour is more your thing go Devoted.

This is not true. I was at the LVO with my Lord celestant riding on bear. While the conversion using a reaper bear disqualified me for a painting competition, the gw reps still loved it and let me play with it. They said for playing as long as the base model is GW, most conversions are fine.

Eh, the fact that Orruks are beasts in melee while also having one the best ranged units in the game's a little interesting.

And y'know what the purpose of those tarpits is, friendo? Holding them still to get shot to death. Oh look, Freeguild is still nothing more than a shooting army and the tools to support it.

Yes I was, but I got thinking, if I do them with snow bases it's just going to be a mass of white from a distance and it'll just blend together.
>>52465665
Yea you're probably right, I'm thinking maybe I can improve the base by adding some leaf litter or something.

>adding Devoted of Sigmar
Do not listen to this fuckface. Devoted of Sigmar units have 0 synergy with the rest of the Freeguild line because all of their buffs and prayers only work on other Devoted of Sigmar units. Anything you get from this line is just a waste of points. If you want a warrior priest, get one of the named characters from the Empire warscrolls so that you can actually use their prayers on your troops. Otherwise, stay far, far away from the Devoted of Sigmar.

Looks kinda shitty, desu. It doesn't match the mini at all, and using autumn colors and red grass would much better compliment it.
>>
>>52465772
It's the yellow grass mainly, it just looks odd next to the dark soil and green tufts. I'd say some leaf litter on the grass to blend it in and then maybe replace the green tufts with brownish/reddish ones to complement the red leaves on the model.

What would a vampire likely use as a battleline?

Quick question- is the game more Hero-hammery or block-hammery, compared to say, 5th and 6th editions respectively? If I want to play smaller size games, like 1k or 1,5k, how many models will I roughly need in Seraphon or Sigmarine armies? Do I need ton of monsters like 8th ed?
>>
>>52466640

It's a lot more herohammer, because heroes can't join units like they could before. So every hero is either capable of fighting units one on one, or is a support hero to hide behind other units.

As for blockhammer, the model count needed for an army fell across the board.

I've posted this here a bunch so I hope im not spamming. But the only part of my entire army that was 3rd party was the bear's head, which was from Reaper. It stung a little, but it got a lot of praise from them, which I appreciated.

So you bring shitty beer from a supermarket to your favorite bar and everyone is ok with it?

>>52466640
Herohammer. The game is all about the synergy between the heroes and the units. On top of that the heroes don't need to depend on what units they are attached to do anything. They can generally hold out on their own, or they are designed to.

Total: 1980/2000

Seems like a Freeguild Regiment doesn't give you a whole lot of wiggle room for customization. Keeping Handgunners at a minimum size of 20 and running 6 Demigryphs only leaves 280 points for tweaking, whether throwing in Volkmar/Huss for unbinding and buffs, a cannon but unfortunately not a pair so you'd be forced to bring an engineer for reliability, or just more handgunners.

It almost seems like running a pair of State Troop Detachments is just as worth it, despite the ridiculous investment just because you're not forced to get both Outriders and Pistoliers in addition to the Demis. Though I suppose the second General's command ability is wasted, unless Strategic Genius would somehow let you trigger both.

What Start collecting box is the best value? in real money and in points

>>52466742
The state troop regiment is much better. Not really any reason to not run the empire warscrolls instead
>>
>>52466943
Yeah, that's what it looks like. Feels a little odd to not have the army under the same battalion for the buffs, but Demis and Outriders are usually going to be out of range anyways. Seems like running something like... General, 3 30-man handgunners, unit of greatswords, STR battallion as a core would be the most efficient use. Then add in some chaff guard to screen the handgunners, and your choice of more cavalry, a pair of cannons, one of the unique warrior priests, etc.

Do I have to set aside points for a Verminlord on the offchance I summon one with the screaming bell?

Thats pretty gay. So if I dont set aside the points and roll a 12 does nothing happen?

That's right! But keep mind that matched play isn't the only way to play. Talk to your friends to maybe run some narrative matches or just have some fun with open play
>>
>>52467220
actually no, you don't "have to" set aside the points. But if you don't set the points aside and happen to roll a whatever that could summon a verminlord then you wouldn't be able to bring it into play.
