How does one build a FEC army cheaply? Are SC box and Skirmish box good deals? Which units are must-have?
I want to start a budget 1000pts army because I like the FEC lore and fluff but this army seems to be not like anything else. Everything FEC seem to be mediocre at best but still I see a lot of love for this faction. Is there any secret-tech for them? Or maybe they are budget-friendly?

Okay, but which ones? Everything seems to be really costly and not really small-games friendly. I tried to brew up a list but I'm not sure if I'm doing this right desu

Allegiance: Flesh Eater Courts

Leaders
Abhorrant Ghoul King (120)

Crypt Haunter Courtier (120)

3 x Crypt Horrors (160)

Battalions
Abattoir (110)

>>55254548
Is it really that difficult to look through the mega in the OP? Are you that limited?

Are there any major benefits for Brayherds now? The Herdstone seems pretty lackluster.

>>55255105
I think the list is ok, but I don't find most of the FEC battalions to be that useful. I would drop the abbatoir battalion and use the 100 points you save to add 10 ghouls, then have 2x20 man units. That will put you at 960.

In small games, I really like the Varghulf Courtier, as it lets you bring all those ghouls or crypt horrors back to life, at no reinforcement point cost.

>>55255105
Don't mind him, he's meme-ing.
1k is not a size FEC really like, to be honest. Your main gimmick, reinforcing damaged units, only really starts to add up at higher point values where you have bigger units (that can survive under fire) and more heroes (to produce more models).
That said, a SC box and two skirmish boxes set you up with pretty much everything you'll need bar ten more Ghouls and a Vargulf. I'm also using a slightly converted Ur-Ghul as a Crypt Ghast Courtier, since it's a neat model.

>>55255368
Yeah, Ghoul and Varghulf spam is kind of the only option at 1k. Maybe with one horror unit thrown in.

Anyone here played a path to glory campaign? Thinking of trying it out

>>55255227
Fucking Outflank for the whole army?

>>55254549
They are. I want Neave Blacktalon, but I need neither the Nurgle crap, nor the Palladors or Raptors, I have two units of those already.
Here's to hoping she'll get a standalone release.

Give me an army idea for christmas lads. I feel like I made a mistake doing slaves to darkness :I

>>55255555
Penta aside, outflank doesnt help when your playing 6+ saves: the army

>>55255533
Theyre fun, but too short imo, crank up the base numbers 5x for a nice long campaign, or 2-3× for a shorter one.
Theyre also really good for starting and building up a new army

>>55255590
>less distance to run towards the enemy gunline doesn't help the army vulnerable to shooting

Riddle me this - should I stick with the skryre allegiance for this list or go with generic chaos abilities?
Le randum memestone sparks seems to be an awful option for such a small army. I have just 51 wounds here so I'm not sure if rolling for d6 mortal wounds is a good idea. Overseer of Destruction is a nice ability but I have only one weapon team that actually rolls for attacks. With a generic chaos I could use clanrats instead of acolytes and swap one Engineer for a Warlord but with Crown and Lord of War nerf I'm just not sure if that's worth it.
I really want to stick with a thematic skryre army but I see no use for these allegiance abilities desu
plastic acolytes fuckin when

>>55254363
Do you guys think that Disciples of Tzeentch are competitive?

>>55255950
>I feel bad because my army pales in comparrison to that
The grass is always greener on the other side. That's why it is so important to pick an army of your dudes and don't give a fuck about muh competitive. The most happy player in my LGS is a greenskinz player and he is pleased as fuck just because he can still use his dudes

>>55255874
At least make the list legal by switching to the Haunter Courtier for general.
Beyond that, at 1k I'd consider dumping the Varghulf for another three horrors and maybe split the ghouls into two units of 20.

Played a game with Blacktalon's Shadow hammers combined with Free guild stuff, here's my takeaways from the game.
>Neave's free movement helps get the Raptors in range
>I blew up the field way too quick, lost all of my dudes, didn't make any points back.
>Free People units are really what won it for me. Cannon, handgunners and the Freeguild General on Griffon ended up winning the game.

I think if I'm more conservative, wait until they hit my lines then sandwich with the Vanguard Palladors/hunters, I'd have done much better. There's a huge lack of mortal wound output, but the rend on the cannon, and mortal wounds coming from the Palladors' mounts on a 5+, I feel like it's pretty balanced.

It's pretty shite desu. Very flat, plastic-y looking, and with little understanding of how light interacts with surfaces.

Why do age of sigmar artists have this tendency to just draw exact digital pictures of the models in cliche AF poses?

Where are the gritty sketch-style pieces, the watercolours and inks and the expressive, weird shit that inspired you to go out and make something unique. GW has no excuse for this shit.

It's not a 'WFB v AoS' thing, it's a hiring dedicated artists who know the lore v shitty freelancers who make copies of models in different poses thing.

They're gone because anything that isn't already in miniature form cannot be shown, otherwise some cunt will steal the design and make model of it before GW can.

Time constraints, mostly

A lot of the AOS art was developed very close to the release of AOS, which means the artists didn't have a lot of time to explore the story and feeling of the factions

my man you are seriously stupid like double digit IQ stupid

do you have to know a persons personality to paint a good picture of them? youre an idiot. I dont know where to even begin to get through to you. the artwork is fundamentally flawed. it doesnt have to do anything with what looks cool and what doesnt. the artist has a fundamental problem understanding how to put a piece of artwork together. Its like a highschoolers work vs a professional. You should be able to apply correct art craftsmanship to WHATEVER you make. not knowing the source material isnt an excuse for a poorly crafted artpiece

it has NOTHING to do with AOS itself

I'm new to miniatures painting, but I can draw and have always been naturally artistic. Still learning, but most problems seem to be overcome by taking your time and doing something in 3 thin layers instead of 1 thicker one. So far it's fun to learn, and forgiving since you can paint over most fuckups (I've had a lot).

I loved the look of the beasts. Mournfang even though people told me they suck on the table, thundertusks even though people told me they're OP and would be nerfed. Winter is my favorite season, the everwinter chasing them is a sweet idea.
Also model wise it's a good mix of skin, armor, fur, beasts, monsters, and dudes. The Battleline guys aren't boring or samey like skaven, skeles, dwarves, etc.
Finally, its got a book an the models are newer and plastic.

Branchwych is a beast (just look at her abilities) and 2-renown Dryads are nice list fillers. You also have plenty of 3-renown drops so If you are thinking about starting a bran new army go with Sylvaneth. If you just want to give your current army a try then just do it mate - I'm running a Spire of Dawn based warband and I'm surprised how good some models are

Devastating Charge: In your hero phase, immediately make a charge. At the end of your charge turn, any enemy units within 3" from the models of the battalion suffer d3 mortal wounds. If they are within 3" of 10 models from the battalion, they suffer d6 mortal wounds

The Spear of Shadows book is pretty fun. Lots of different cultures are shown, the cast is way bigger than the 3 on the cover art. They really drive up the - the mortal realms are quite weird and diverse angle -. You have a city build on top of a worm; with a sigmar cult, A demigryph Knight from Ghyran who uses wooden weapons and armor, Shapeshifting raven Tzeentch Arcanites, etc, etc.

>>55258246
Haven't tested it yet, but I think you can do some fun stuff with the sparks. 12 wounds with mortars, rattling cannons that deals 2 damage per shot. Will need to say how good the risk/reward part is.

Horticulous' problem is that he tries to be everything, but falls short in every regard:
- His melee is mostly mediocre.
- His heal is pure garbage.
- His buff is focused on a weird unit barely anybody uses.
- His janky mortal wound mechanic is barely playable.
- His warscroll battalion is meh.
The only good thing about him is his slightly above average durability. 3+/5++ with 8 wounds is pretty okay.

Meanwhile, Neave is laser-focused on her job: Her gear, her rules, even her battalion, everything about her is made to get her into contact with a hero and then murder the face of him.

>inb4 buy just a box or two and use acolytes
Acolytes are shit and I have to proxy them already. I really hate to play with models I don't actually have - I'm fine if someone else is doing this but I would rather buy 2 start collecting boxes of nurgle or seraphon than spend more money on the skaven. GHB17 hit my clanrats based army hard so now I would rather pay for "my dudes" army than burn more cash on "cheap dudes" army

Hello! here the anon who usually bores enough to try out and make SCE colour schemes!

Today I made this one, and gotta say, I actually like how it looks

I even started thinking some lore and a name, "Jade Martyrs"

These are formed by the souls of those who sacrifice themselves for a greater good, be it to destroy an enemy, or just to save those who are meaningfull to them. Usually seen leading the charge, they are eager to fight the enemy, some of them even to a near suicidal extent. The Jade Martyrs will usually be the last to ever retry in case of defeat or tactical withdrawal, finding contempt in slowing the enemy and covering theyr allies' backs.

What do you think?

I do like the Vostarg Lodge look as singular models, but when they are looked from birds eye, all the models look identical despite being from different units. Hopefully this color scheme will alleviate this concern of mine.

Updated rules: https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Compendiums/warhammer-aos-high-elves-en.pdf

Readin through the errata to just get a better understanding of the rules and I ran into this:

> Q: Some very short models, such as Goblins, are not able to attack models on flying stands, as the distance
> between the two models exceeds the range of the smaller model’s weapon. Is there any way for the smaller model
> to attack in such a situation? A: No – it will need to find some scenery upon which to stand in order to reach the flying
> model. Likewise, the flying model would be unable to attack those small models unable to reach it, should its melee
> weapon not have the range to do so.

wtf? so I could take a flying guy with a ranged attack, put him on a 6" dowel rod in the air and he's effectively immune to melee attacks because his model is high up in the air? That's a bit silly

>>55263127

the white is just multiple thin layers of ulthuan grey and then an edge highlight of white scar

the black in the shield is done with nuln oil using a glaze brush and then tidied up with ulthuan grey

Has anyone tried running a 30 man liberator blob?

I figured with armor buffs and the great weapons in the front line they could do pretty well, especially since they have to lose 22 wounds to lose their 20 man objective bonus

Just picked up two Start Collecting Seraphon boxes to begin my army. Looking for some interesting schemes I can paint them.

great weapons are most efficient in 5 man squads since the prime gets an extra weapon attack

ive used squads of 10 liberators with staunch defender and warding lantern to get a 2+ save screen, very effective against most rend-1 units.

30 liberators would be complete overkill. they dont do great damage because their models are huge and the unit would be too easy to pincer.

I would use a base paint like celestray grey if you are going over black, otherwise a few layers of ulthuan should be fine

No, that's bad and you should feel bad. A Mark of Chaos should be visibly represented on the model with at least a colour scheme.

If you're just painting him as Chaos Undivided, then he gets the generic Chaos bonus.

>>55255772
Replace the warpflame throwers with more mortars.
Since you really don't have anything distracting on the field, or something to shield them with, your opponent can easily snipe them down before they get close.

>>55261762
One way might be:
> Prime white
> Put on a coat of green glaze
> Layer white on the more prominent areas
> Another coat of green glaze
> Hightlight the edges with white again
> Last coat of green glaze

That way you have a rather darkish green in the recesses, brighter green on the surfaces and a a very light green on the edges.

Is there a link to the old pre-2017 warscroll compendiums somewhere? AoS app replaced all my Bretonnian warscrolls with the new ones, and my group is throwing me a bone by letting me use the old keywords, hero powers, etc

>>55265640
Tbh Bretonnia made out better in GHB2017 than most compendium armies, especially if you take the fay enchantress anyway.

And if you took a free guild general for bretonnian archers you're a fuckin peasant

Anyone got an idea to make some nice jezzail teams?
Thinking of getting a box of stormvermin and mixing them with some leftover galvanic rifles from my skitarii.

>>55265295
My free guild general is a cutthroat nobleman who has inherited his treasure hunter fathers landed estates in Azyr, awarded to him for his lauded efforts (read:plundering) to recover important arcane artifacts before the gates of Azyr were sealed. Most importantly he recovered one of the runefangs, now all incredibly powerful weapons after absorbing the old worlds explosion.

Now that the gates have reopened, the general has taken up his fathers letter of marque and sallied out into the mortal realms with his levees and mercenaries in order to seek out the remaining runefangs, among other treasures.

My Khorne bloodhound are the army of a nation state ruled by a fallen paladin from before the age of chaos, driven mad from witnessing the carnage wrought by chaos and the defeat of the Order pantheon.
Bloodshed in the kingdom is strictly ordered, regulated and defined by ironclad rules of engagement and a twisted sense of honor.

Unknown to all of his underlings, the fallen king was a compatriot of the original treasure hunter and fell after he was betrayed and left for dead. Now he seeks vengeance against his kin and to retrieve the sword that is rightfully his.

>>55265751
Nah, Its for the relic bearers, the hit bonus peasant units get from being near a Paladin, and the Peasant Militia battalion.

Do you like spiders? I like spiders.

Big boss on gigantic spider
30 spider riders
15 spider riders
10 spider riders
3 arachnarok shamans

1980. Let the spiders reign supreme under a hail of mortal wounds and fuck terrain!

>>55265885
Put a damsel on top of a hurricanum and it fixes like 80% of bretonnias problems

>>55265931
I would love to fight that with my Nurgle army to bad there aren't any Spiderfang players in my area

>How do we fix summoning in Path to Glory?
We fixed it by forcing you to use a "slot" for summoned units.
If you start with 4 units, for example, you can choose 3 and keep 1 slot for summoning.
Also, when you summon, you can only get the entries you actually have in the tables.

I prefer elegan/tg/entlemen

There seems to be quite a few people online stating that AoS is dead and that GW has completely changed their focus back to 40k, essentially dropping AoS.

I'm a newbie just getting into it. Bought my first Starter Set... Was this a mistake? Should I have just gone 40k?

AoS is not dead, we just got a new edition of the Generals handbook a little while ago, along with the new boxed starter set.

Say I have 10 Black Knights. Would they be better in one unit of 10 or two units of 5?

>>55266632
A big argument I'm seeing is that lots of tournament play and conventions regarding AoS have gone the way of the dodo.

I personally much prefer a fantasy theme over space opera which is why I went with AoS to begin with.

So then I shouldn't regret buying my first starter set and assembling my first army?

Well thats a relief. I even am spending the time to get into the lore. Read the Gates of Azyr and the Realmgate Wars already. Enjoying the lore thus far. It feels good that the good guys are finally "winning" though, it feels that something sinister is being plotted.

>>55266646
If you are having fun then you made the right choice. Alternatively you can always get daemons and play both games

>>55266713
What army did you start with?

>>55266634
Depends on what you want to do with them. If you want them to contribute in any meaningful way to combat, you want 10-15. Groups of 5 can't do much other than be distractions or maybe go for vulnerable backline units.

>>55266728
I got the starter set with both Stormcast Eternals and Khorne. I figure it would be the easiest way for me and my friends to get into AoS. We also got the GH2 and are using pitched battles to make the fights seem even, though SCE look to be significantly better.

A friend of mine already bought and glued his Ironjawz starter set. We will probably play soon.

>>55266717
I do prefer fantasy over space opera and we've been having fun thus far. Our gaming group just doesn't want to go all in in a new game where everyone gets an army just to realize it is dead a year later because it is unpopular for one reason or another.

>>55266764
Neat, got any cool lore for your dudes?

>>55266777
It's only dead if you stop playing and stop having fun.

>>55266764
Considering I've read Gates of Azyr and the Realmgate Wars, I was toying with the idea that my SCE were separated from the large host when the Gates of Azyr opened in Aqshy. Our platoon ended in the far outreaches of the peninsula and all attempts to make contact with our original host are failing.

Every battle fought is a step closer to reuniting with the rest of the army for the glory of SIgmar.

Absolutely not.

It has plenty of haters though, and there are urban legends and fake news as a consequence.

But behind that there is a popular game with a fairly big (if shattered and uneven) community.

>>55266802
Sounds cool. Do you want me to share my dudes? It's a whole document so it's quite a lot.

>>55266861
Definitely. I always love reading about lore behind armies.

Here you ago, aslo feel free to give some constructive criticism so can improve myself

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DleJ7guokNXxnsKZX7hu-vjRa0Hw4edANjkYRwm0PDY

>>55266895
Not him.

I've read your stuff long ago, when you posted the first times i believe.

I think you should try to improve the format. Making it a pdf, make some background for the pages, some soft edges on the pictures, make some titles and columns, and stuff like that.

Presentation is everything

>>55263858
Or maybe GW could not be Jews and take advantage of it. People weren't buying full models from these they're buying upgrades. All those people buying from Kromlech et al are using them with GW models. Hell on shapeways people are making pattern Paul drones for space marines that GW never bothered too, how does making something they don't make hurt them?

How fun / cool are the lizard dudes in game? They look pretty metal

>>55266895
I can tell quite a lot of time and thought went into this. I DM for a 4 year long campaign in our gaming group and I can tell when someone has put time into something.

I thought your short story: "The Coming Storm" was quite good as a prologue. You should definitely flesh that out.

Something I think that is a great idea that I've picked up from DMing for so long is that its ok for characters you personally like to lose. Losing builds character and having your army lose a battle or two is a great way to keep an audience interested. Not every story should have it's protagonist be the victor! (I'm looking at you 'ASOIAF')

My only CC is to keep writing.

>>55266927
Yeah I know what you mean, unfortunately I am not so good at making documents, but I will try to improve my format

I want to get into AoS because I like the whole 'Warhammer Planescape' setting but I've painted a ton of 40k Orks recently so I want to have the least swarm army possible, who's my options?

>>55267124
Ogors, warherd are those that come to mind, oh and beastclaw raiders

>>55267167
Are warherd old Beastmen? I thought they'd want to put a ton of Gors on the table

EZPZ.

>>55267124
Stormcast, Beastclaw Raiders, Rotbringers, Ironjawz, Ogors.
A lot of other stuff if you use battleline-if really.

Nighthaunts are not necessarily low count but they are easier to paint than Necrons.

>>55267174
They are the Minotaurs, cygor and ghorgons

>>55267174
Brayherd are the horde
Warherd are the minotaurs

>>55267203
I'm kind of after the opposite of easy to paint, just want to be able to take my time on a few minis rather than have a hundred boyz staring at me in undercoat. I'll give those guys a look though, thanks. The Maggot Riders are pretty nice looking.

Also, how are Sylvaneth in terms of model count?

>>55267223
>>55267316
Aah, right, not a big fan of their models, too ugly.

>>55267327
>Also, how are Sylvaneth in terms of model count?
They are a trap.
You may think they are a reasonable army to build and paint, since all the bundles and shit, but then you discover you need a lot of woods.

A LOT.

You may think you can convert them, na dyou could, but still, it's a lot of stuff to do.

Might as well get it out of the way early.

Dawi question.

Planning 3x Irondrakes running with 2xLongbeards,1xHammerers.
+20 Ironbreakers. I could run the Ironbreakers as longbeards or hammerers too, would that be better? Great weapons or shields on longbeards?

>>55267327
Minotaur models are actually fantastic, the GW colour scheme is just the worst.

>>55267587
Oh, really? I've never seen one in person, I guess I just never thought to question my faith in GW's painters

Bro why don't you take less units but make em of 2x the size?

Are you taking them like that for the great companies? Keep in mind you'll lose out on the bonuses for unit size (special rules and point cost reduction).

The Issue is 90% "Pale Skin dark fur" the GW models have.

Even the worst Paintjob doing it correctly makes them look 10 times better.

>>55267625
Oh, wow, that is really nice. Dark brown really suits them a lot better. Fuck, just when I was narrowing it down too

>>55267654
Warherd's have a very limited Unit pool, so I'd probably go with Beastclaws if you want a big elite army.

Or Soulblight, where a 1000 point army will be 10 knights and a Zombie Dragon.

>>55267661
I don't mind a limited unit pool, I had mostly narrowed it down to Beastclaws, Deathlords or Everchosen. I'm a big fan of Minotaurs but I guess I could probably use some spare horns to make ogres look like minotaurs anyway.

Also, could someone loosely explain to me how allies and allegiances work in AoS? It seems to be a lot stricter than 8th 40k

>>55267689
in GHB17 there is a list of points values for units, and under that there is the allies they can take.

Everchosen and Deathlords are sort of central ones like Stormcast, so they can ally with everyone in the Faction I think.

>>55267702
So you can have those allies in your list without losing your faction abilities?

>>55267689
>Everchosen
Insane.
But deliciously insane.
If you can paint, an Everchosen army is amazing.

>>55267616
Also there is a battallion. Althrough it may not be worth it.

>>55267707
Yes, to a maximum of 20% of your army point total, so 400pts in the ubiquitous 2k list.

>>55264523
Problem is, since he gets first turn just about every game, he almost immediately gets a +3 to casting and unbinding because of bis commander trait, a balewind, and his fucking standard bearer, so if he rolls decently, its almost impossible to do anything about it as he summons fucking whatever he wants 38" away

Yesterday I put together Arkhan, just now finished Black Knights. Damn! I forgot how great putting GW plastic models felt.

Looking at them I probably should have paint some parts before assembling but.... oh well, I'll manage somehow.

>>55268840
>Looking at them I probably should have paint some parts before assembling

Yeah, the same happened to me with the Black Knights, the shield makes a bit harder to paint the armour and the body, but it can be done anyways

>>55266753
Pro tip:they've never been good

Just run them as chosen

>>55258562
