Second for the sneaky, stabbin', cunnin' grots!

New to age of sigmar. If I take a battalion with heros and battle line unites do they count towards the minimum battle line I need to take?

Here is the skink list I am thinking of:
Skink chief -60
Skinks -80
Bastilidon - 300

Shadowstrike starhost
Skink priest - 100
Skinks- 80
Chameleon skinks -120
Ripperdactyls - 140

>>52549589
So can I preorder my boys this saturday or WHAT?!

>>52549667
No not this saturday. Maybe next saturday.

This saturday is just the newcromunda box terrain they are selling in separate kits.

I know. I'm chomping at the bit, myself.

>>52549687
Champing. You're champing at the bit.

>>52549734
While champing is technically the correct one, chomping is used often enough that it is considered acceptable too. Mainly because 'chomp' is used outside of this idiom, but 'champ' isn't (at least in the same context, because champ also can be short for champion). But I digress.

>>52549687
hoping we get some sorta mordheim spinoff with some terrain. Would be good time to introduce new houses cause they disconnected the older ones.

Elves when?

>>52549808
God yes. I think Shadows over Hammerhal was just the beginning, and they are testing the waters with newcromunda.

One thing's for sure, fucking Underworlds: Shadespire is not it. Doesn't even fucking come close. What a disappointment.

But I think we will likely see the same treatment Necromunda got with Shadow War: Armageddon. Pretty much a recycling of the rules, but expanded to include a bunch of kits from several of the factions.

Ardboys, give them shields or?

>>52549857
Just to double-check - Newcromunda=Shadow War, right? There's not Yet Another New Project that I'm unaware of that we're referring to?

>>52549898
Are you using them as a tarpit or screen? If so, yes. Lets them survive longer.

>>52549901
Yeah. Newcromunda is a nickname for SW:A. Seeing how SW:A uses the exact same rules and system as old necromunda did, just expanded to include several kits from most of the 40k factions.

>>52549898
If you want them mostly to score objectives, give all of them shields. Even if you want to use them offensively, it's not guaranteed you will pile in with all of them so a few with shields to stay back and get wounds allocated to them should be handy. Offensively dual wields > two handers in most cases, afaik two handers are only better against 2+ saves.

>>52549910
Figure I'd just throw them at guys to hold them up so the Brutes can bash their faces in. Speaking of which... it might be an idea if I give at least one unit of Brutes hackas to reach over Ardboys.

I'm only doing a 1k list though, so maybe I don't need reach with units of 5 Brutes.

>>52549661
Anyone have any input on this?

>>52549941
5-man Brute units don't need hackas. At 10+ it's pretty much mandatory. Also if you use a 10-15 man Brutes unit you should make their boss your commander, Inspiring presence is very valuable on them because Bravery is their main weakness.

What should I do?

>>52549898
Give 3 of them shields per 10. Put them in the back and take mortal wounds on them to keep them away from your standard/drummer/boss.

Also, Orruks fucking suck. Use Bonesplitterz or Ironjawz instead.

Ooh.
Giant ammonite?
Nautical theme?
This is relevant to my interests, even if it's an army I don't play. I live on the coast, and something naval or sea-themed for AoS would be absolutely ballin'.

>>52550406
Morghast Archai are very useful as a summoning option with a +/- 75% to hit a charge right away. I use em with Arkhan.

The Harbingers are fine for taking out big guys and I like their abilities. They could do with a slight point reduction tho, especially now that Khorne had their Khorgoraths buffed. 100pts per model seems fair.

>>52551190
Fishmen 2032 confirmed

>>52551224
There was a fanmade fishmen supplement for Blood Bowl, so there is precedent.

Extremely distant, unlikely, and dubious precedent, granted, but precedent nonetheless. It's just at the bottom of the list of likely things.

>>52551018
who says it's a shell? It could be a tentecle or a tounge

>>52551268
This is also a possibility.
It could even be a giant fantastical limpet on a skaven or grot or whoever else sky-ship!

We just don't know. I say we wait and see.

thanks for clearing that up for us anon.

>>52552477
You realise that SJWs are the ones who get upset about people dressing up as people of other cultures, right?

>>52552396
Elves aren't a metaphysical concept, doesn't fit the theme at all. They're just a race.

>>52552550
yeah it would be like having skaven as one grand alliance.

>>52552550
But none of the grand alliances actually fit a concept.
They're all just grouped together based roughly on the relations they had on the old world.

Chaos isn't particularly chaotic and Order is not especially ordered. Destruction don't embody any concept other than being armies of savages, and Death isn't even about death but rather the polar opposite, undeath.

>>52552573
It would not. Skaven were a singular army and never as popular as elves. Elves are big enough to support their own alliance. As an alliance Order is far bigger than all the others.

When apocalypse rules for AOS?
I mean battles with several people and several thousand points

>>52552622

To be honest I actually like that GW is doing more skin tones besides white. The thing is that this is an entirely new fantasy setting where anything is possible, so it's not far fetched to see nonwhite people at all. Not only that, but the thing that separates GW from SJW fags is that they don't come out and say how amazing and wonderful they are for painting black and Asian characters. They just paint them and don't even make a big deal out of it. Which is perfectly fine in my opinion.

Nurgle's schtick is acceptance of your place in the world, shunning progress and embracing familial love which is all pretty much right-wing values but nice try.

There are a couple that are good. The Legends of The Age Of Sigmar Pestilens book is great, it has some fun humor in it too. Warbeast is a fun romp, with some cool connections to the Old World. Lord of Undeath has some neat developments and insight into the Death characters. City of Secrets is ok, but the descriptions of the city really steal the show.

Could anyone clarify a rules question for summoning in matched play?

Summoning 5 Dire Wolves during the game will cost me 60 points, their warscroll states if I roll 10+ I can set up 10 Dire Wolves instead. Would I need to pay 60 additional points for the other Dire Wolves, or are they a bonus for rolling well?

They're not battlesuits. They are environmental suits. They are a race of duardin that live among high altitudes where there are all sorts of dangerous gasses, including the aether-gold they collect and refine, which helps power all their ships, weapons, and filtration systems on their backs.

They escaped to the skies during the age of chaos. and have been living up there since. The age of sigmar and the arrival of the stormcast eternals has promted them to rejoin the conflict below.

They are governed by a code. A set of edicts that ensures their survival and hunt for profit. It's a meritocracy. So when the big order cities were built, they saw an opportunity for trade and profits because there are now sprawling human cities.

There can be more tactical play. When to commit to charges, order of resolution is big, scenarios force different conditions on you, etc.
It's not unlike 40k or 30k, where any mission without an objective (and some armies even then) involves shooting armies squatting at max range removing while units at a time.

>>52552121
And can be bolstered by the most common hero type in a Tzeentch army. Being able to shoot while in combat is a bigger benefit that most forget.

Skinks are fucking terrible, even if backed up by big monsters. If you're going for a fluffy skink list, I would add a steg or take terradons as opposed to rippers. Rippers can be brutal but you have to use them incredibly carefully. Terrodons, in general, are more useful.

As a matched player, I do miss the days before the GHB, because now we have spergs like this >>52556903 in our ranks, and there's really nothing we can do about it.

>>52557017
I'm all for competetiveness and tryhard listbuilding (though the current state of 40k with TauDar and shit is abominable even for me), but I don't mind if other people want their own ways of playing where full optimalization/balance is secondary to having fun.
Fighting against a bunch of Necromancers who try summon hundreds of points worth of models per turn and trying to kill them against all odds sounds like a fun narrative scenario. On the other hand shit like that is fucking hard to balance for competetive play.

>>52558412
If the shadow elves do have a Cthulhu theme going for them, then I hope it includes aquatic like visuals and elements cause then it would go well with the Kharadron's Flying Ship theme.

They also can't shoot from the boat.

>>52558964
Which I can respect. I feel with some of the relics described, the transports can be pretty hard to kill, so having the thunderers shooting from inside with no repercussions would be a bit too much.

The fact they can't do that, shows some restraint on the designer's part. Part of it could also be they didn't want to try condensing rules for firing ports and rules for that.

Also if the ship gets destroyed while the dudes are inside, the WD only hinted that "not all will survive"

The Necrosphinx is one of the best models GW has ever done and they discontinue it

Am I? Huh, that's not what i was trying to imply. Sorry if it came out that way.
What I mean is like Elves with armor or clothing/gear with Lovecraftian theme, which might include an underwater aesthetic since that's a large feature in most Lovecraftian works.

That would be pretty funny actually. There likely will be some EDGE words and names for the shadow elves if they are a thing.

I'm also thinking there might be a draconic/serpent/reptile theme going on for them since Malerion is like half dragon or something. There is the pet winged lizard thing in the sneek peek after all.

>>52558527
>>52558555
>>52558566
Close enough, it is any model with the "Skyfarer" keyword, which is every Kharadron Overlord model except the ships themselves.

"Skyfarer" is pretty vague though, so maybe other armies will get the keyword at some point, such as future Swifthawk agent models or the Grot Skypirates.

>>52559627

Sorry anon, I didn't realize you were lobbying for just Dark Elves.

From a pure sales perspective, if there were to be any re-release of the earlier Legacy factions, it should at least be one of the more recognizable elf factions: High or Wood.

>>52559685
>I didn't realize you were lobbying for just Dark Elves.
I mean, isn't that just what the shadow elves will be? That's likely why I'm attracted to the idea anyways but in any case, all I'm really doing is sharing ideas of what I think they might be like. I have no idea what we'll actually get but I hope it is something cool that everyone can like. Better yet, if the shadow elves faction plays really well.

what is it with people who want to start a full bloodknight army?

I mean who am I kidding I wanted to do the same. Now I am more Skeleton than man.

Seriously though. the current resin Bloodknights are disgustingly overcosted and thats not even the Issue. their lances WILL be bend and every attempt to straigthen them is merely licking their 20$/man wounds even tho they look so nice which is a shame. Not even talking about when you play a big game on a hot sunny day and they melt back

BUT there is a easy and cheesy fix by taking High Aelf Blood- Dragon Knights and adding the Death upgrade set to them. also theyre 260 points a pop so better find something to support them with

However, if youre playing full soulblight you dont have amazing Tarpits like zombies and skellies.

all your other options are Vargheists which do the same job as the knights most of the time
Bat Swarms (if you do, take the Lord of the rings ones) are only good against shooty armies and fell bats which are very meh

stupid question, but is there anything stopping units locked in melee from shooting? as far as i know there isnt, but my circle of melee-heavy friends arent happy that i get all this shooting when im in melee.

So, whats the basic lore behind the new DORFS WITH AIRSHIPS? I've only seen the pics so far, is it as bad as some people make it out to be?

>Pic is one of the very few AOS pics I have.

GHB was one of the best thing GW proposed us in a long time imo

tech-savvy dwarves fucked off into the planes of magic to avoid the end times, adapted to it, came back as some kind of pirate, i think

Is there any hope of the Stormcasts living a normal life after the war?

Does Sigmar really care about the people killed?

I don't see it

after doing roughly 25 games of Aos since the release of the generals Handbook. The 2 biggest and probably broken Issues with the game are currently : 1. the devastating effect of the Double Turn.
2. The amount of pressure Missile Weapons put on you while they are still decent even when theyre in melee especially because they can still shoot at any target.

those two kinda stack as you can melee in your opponents phase but can only shoot on your own turn.

If you play any List that has either No Ranged support or no reliable way to get everything shooting locked into melee by turn 2 youre kinda screwed

Stormcast are especially deadly as you could fill your battleline with the Bow-icators (which have 2 wounds with 4+ and okay melee) take a Lord Aquilor and Paladors and deepstrike from your opponents Rear, the palladors may shoot two profiles at the same time and their gryphs still do reliable deadly damage with mortal wounds and rend.

Sylvaneth teleports around the map with their woods and kurnoth hunters are literally never out of range to hit something


Ironjawz is probably the strongest pure Melee faction at the moment but it too has the strategy to deploy before you (by placing a battalion for as an example) outside of your range bubble. they then give you the first turn drooling or even worse, walking towards them, they then run twice in the Hero Phase and then destroy you in melee. If they failed the charge with their +2" Musicians dont worry theyll get the double turn 50% of the time and destroy you twice

>>52561066
you can shoot in melee, but..
some weapons have a minimum range,
combat phase specifically states melee weapons.

>>52561416
One of them does have a tentacle on it.

>>52561464
i understand that, but for example, a warlock engineer with a 9" range pistol with no miminum range. say he's charged, survives combat, combat ends, it proceeds to the start of the next (my) turn. i leave him motionless in the movement phase, then in the shooting phase, i can shoot the guy i'm in melee with, then in the combat phase pile in and melee, right?

>>52559200
It's not one of the best. It's THE best. Come at me.

>no Disciples of Tzeentch
great job, faggot

Before I start putting money down on it: Blades of Khorne will let me run a totally mixed daemon/mortal army, right?

>>52561912
Daemons and Bloodbound, yes.

>>52561912
yes. but like in disciplesof tzeentch pure daemons and pure mortal have different Battleline options and possibly different spells/artifacts etc
