GW can't make their fucking mind right.

The slaanesh "head" is elsewhere.

>>43868474
This. Slaanesh head shows up only when the dragon is really excited.

>>43868364

Le funny jokes

>>43868535
>jokes are reddit tier posting

Is humor against this new anti-fun policy that post-moot 4chan has?

That model looks like the dragon is slipping on a patch of ice. Seriously, that's a shitty design. It's so god damn overblown. At least Nagash, Glottkin, and Vermin lords looked good. This model is both super cluttered and full of parts of other models copy pasted with some CAD program.

>>43868552
Slaanesh sex "jokes" are retarded and childish to begin with, and shows the poster has no fucking clue about what slaanesh is about, apart from "lol le sex and drugs and rock and roll god xDDD". Fucking twelve years old, really.

>Muh passion and artistry and shit
Not in the game bro, at least not in fantasy

>>43868690
It used to have alot more than that as well.

It was more about personal gain and aspirations, if you ever had big goals, slaanesh was for you, be they political or otherwise. It wasnt just being pretty, it was doing great feats, the aesthetics were just a side effect and often were offset by hideous mutations as well.

I feel 40k version being lighter hearted than fantasy bled over, with noise marines and the doped up to the eyeballs style become more prevalent.

>>43868364
This thing sucks with the strenght of a billion black holes, pretty much like his counterpart Sailor Sigmar.

I hope sinking your own boat is feeling good for you, GW.

>>43868364
That looks like trash. I don't even play fantasy/AoS and I'm sickened. Who would buy such an awful looking model? Even Abbadon's topknot looks classy and threatening in comparison.

>>43868578
The Verminlords are borderline overdesigned too with the twin tails swinging all around.

>>43868665
Ah yes the deep and complex concepts of Slaanesh like how every Slaanesh model has at least one pair of tits showing. Slaanesh stuff has always been mostly smut.

>>43869052

>>43869135

Hope that clears it up.

The model could use a bit of rock and roll

>>43869123
That things are as lewd as people consider them to be so, rarely having inherently "prohibited" qualities, in short censorship due to close mindness and overreactions over small things like boobs are stupid
Sexual themes on the other hand are another story


But honestly I know jack shit about this kind of discussion

>>43869142

No, I know about age of shitmar, Im just wondering where the fuck ghal maraz has been and why some dude is wielding it instead of sigmar

It's not a dragon, it's a Chaos mutated Chaos Horse that has eaten the souls of 3 greater daemons. There's no Slaaneshi head because Slaanesh wasn't present when the other Gods decided to play hard ball in their contract negotiations with Archaon.

Get your facts straight, friend.

Ah yes, Sigvald. The long haired pretty boy running around with a bare ass and freeballing. A great example of how Slaanesh isn't all about sex.

>>43869539
During 6th edition when chaos was 3 separate factions. There was a particularly decent short story in the white dwarf they released the slaanesh models in, but there was plenty other fluff around then where it was apparant.

>>43869185
That was only ever the 40k style of it, and like the early days of 40k everything else was rediculously over the top at the same time.

>>43870065
>Ah yes, Sigvald. The long haired pretty boy running around with a bare ass and freeballing. A great example of how Slaanesh isn't all about sex.

Hey, that shit's just comfy.

>>43870108
Slaanesh was more subjugating your will on others, ruling over them absolutely, and sometimes that would be done through magical beauty. The sex aspect was merely a tool for the higher ups to control courts or followers.

>>43868470
Supposedly it's to show how little Archaon thinks of the rat, and show some support to slaanesh

>>43870108
I Played back then, don't really remember him being less about sex. Though I haven't read that white dwarf
>>43870133
Every Slaanesh follower was subject to shklis whims and a tool for shkler pleasure and the ones lower in the chain were also subject to the higher-ups. Sex and beauty were a huge part of that

>>43870065
If GW relaunched Slaanesh with the Daemons and mortals all looking more along the lines of Sigvald, would that be an acceptable move away from the outright boobcrab look?

>>43868667
I feel the model was probably originally designed for the End Times: Archaon book (there were some reports of a model matching the description being spotted around the times the End Times books were being released), but they couldn't fit it in and released it only now, similarly how the dating on Skarbrand's sprues suggests the kit was actually finished before the plastic Bloodthirster even if it was released only after End Times was over. They probably hadn't decided to replace Slaanesh with the Horned Rat yet, hence his shield have Slaaneshi symbol as the 4th one instead of Horned Rat's.

>>43870355
The heads on his mount aren't a sign of endorsement by the gods. They're proof that Archaon overpowered them.

After Archaon ended time the Gods all tried to claim him as an exclusive servant.

He refused all of them, so they each sent an army to kill him, and he beat them all one by one.

The thing he rides is his horse, which absorbed the daemons leading each army and mutated into the thing he now rides.

In the process, Archaon won the Gods respect and was allowed to do as he wished, which was to go to other dimensions and end more times.

The Horned Rat wasn't a Chaos God at the time this went down, and Slaanesh was absent due to elf hang-over.

>>43870355
This Anon get`s it. It has no Slaanesh head because in AoS Slaanesh is missing and it has no rat head because Archaon despises the Horned Rat. The marks off all the 4 Chaos gods are on the shield. The "dragon" is his old deamonic steed Dorghar that has been mutated.
It`s still a shit model though.

>>43870397
no, army of pretty boy dulls Sigvald's uniqueness and frankly, army of pretty people are reserved for elves.

>>43868364
I need a higher res pic of archie himself but the steed is fucking ridiculous and ugly. Technically it's flawless but it's so badly designed it would be sold in an Ikea store.

>muh refined chaos gods

No, fuck you nerd. The chaos gods are one dimensional villains, incarnations of several sins. That is how they are portrayed 99,9999% of time. Just because a black library author or codex includes a mere footnote that briefly touches up on other aspects as well to experiment doesn't mean that this is 'what they are really about'.
And btw insisting on that doesn't make you a refined patrician nerd either...retard snob.

>>43870941
Not my Archaon, in my defence. It is a rubbish paint job.

To bring some kind of positivity here since the thread is full of people who will hate on AoS regardless, outside the seeming lack of Slaanesh the model's pretty cool and fits the much higher than WHFB fantasy of AoS pretty well. I'll wait for everything WoC to come out before making childish assumptions about why Slaanesh isn't outwardly repped there. It might be a Sigmarine situation (Stormcast are from a narrow shallow perspective fantasy Space Marines but are nothing like them upon a deeper observation.)

>>43871157
But its not cool, its a poorly designed model that is vastly inferior to what's its replacing. 'Higher fantasy' does not justify that or any of the other numerous ways AoS models are worse than Warhammer ones.

Did you ever stop to think there is a reason so many people dislike AoS.

>>43871265
I hate to be that guy, but shills don't stop to think

>>43871157
What's killing it is the heads. A unique demonic horse head would have been a thousand times better than this abortion.

>>43871328
The mount.. thing is a secondary problem.

The real issue is Archaon himself. Too generic, the sword is dumb and it has none of the character of the old model.

>>43871389
>The real issue is Archaon himself
Well given the res on that pic I don't feel too qualified to judge.

Old archie wasn't a model of uniqueness even if he was badass and had a better sword.

>>43871265
People dislike Age of Sigmar because WHFB was killed. Those two are unrelated though.

If it was just the models, we'd see a lot more bitching about Mantic's fantasy minis.

>>43871569
Except Mantic's models are cheap, and intended to be bargin bin quality. Archon costs literally hundreds, and yet uses recycled CAD assets, has a goofy pose, a metric fuckton of harsh angles where there should be organic, smooth ones, and a colossal fuckoff topknot, all of which isn't even beginning on the -other- AoS models.

Mantic admits they're not the best models, but prices themselves accordingly. Games Workshop shits into a modeling program, then calls it "luxury".

How big is the model?

Is it too big/small too use as a greater demon?

>>43871434
But the model had personality and a clear direction, it looked like he was personally ordering forth the legions of chaos or issuing a challenge to an enemy.

>>43872004
He's doing the same thing here.

>>43871323
Fuck off you degenerate piece of trash if all you wanna do is talk shit without contributing jack shit you deserve a worse treatment than those shits in ISIS.

>>43871328
The daemonheads make sense though. That things definitely not a horse, and more typical Dragons are an Elven thing in general.

>>43871389
How's it generic? He's doing the "sword raised I am leading my forces" thing his WHFB version does. The sword's more fantastical and overthetop than his previous one which as I said fits AoS's more higher form of fantasy where things are less grounded and low fantasy like WHFB.

>>43870993
Analpained much? Good, good, that's the way Slaanesh likes it.

>>43872254
No, its not even slightly like that. He just looks like he is sitting there.

Stop using 'muh high fantasy' to justify a poorly designed model with no personality.

>>43871843
The GW website has a comp with a regular dude.

It's pretty big. I say Verminlord/Nagash size. So, yeah.

>>43872354
>>43872340
Bel'lakor model won the best model in like 2001 or something daft. It is insanely good.

>>43872354
Carnac pls go.

Firstly, I thought that Archaon could do with a cooler looking mount. I didn't expect this. But, I don't dislike it, it reminds me of something but I can't put my finger on it. Dragonfly? I dunno.

Either way, what I'm MOST confused about is why it's missing Slaanesh's head. The other three are Greater Daemons than the horse ate, but Keeper of Secrets didn't just disappear, one tried to become Slaanesh himself/herself/itself. So there must have been KoS to kill and eat.

So, this leads me onto the final point. If the head isn't there and none of the other body parts represent Slaanesh (the tail is Slaanesh like, but I doubt it is) then surely this model will be out of date when Slaanesh gets back? We all know it's going ot be a campaign for the Elves and people think Morathi will become Slaanesh.

So, I don't get it. If it had 4 heads, it would be cool, but with just 3, I don't get it. If they sold an "upgrade" pack to give it another head, that'd be cool, but otherwise this is just stupid.

So, to sum up, he needed a better, more suitable mount, this mount could have been good with 4 heads. Other than that it's OK.

A simple horse which could fit into a Carnosaurs mouth, daemonic or not, isn't really fitting for the big bad of Chaos.

But, nothing has been lost, just use the old one.

>>43872817
yeah it isn't just carnac thou, Bel'lakor was a incredibly popular model, see >>43872806
there was a reason why people got hyped when they gave out rules for him again. I love the model, but carnac has tainted the whole thing for me.

>>43870909
anyone got an idea what i could get the old archaon model

>>43873007
Ebay, Gumtree and 3rd party sellers may still have stock of the old model.

I suggest asking round. But auction sites will be best bet.

My only complaint is that when you build the model you have to make sure noone swings their arms into it.

>>43873281
So basically the same as ANY other model? Ok.

>>43872004
I agree it was a really good model, but you gotta admit it was generic, even if awesomely designed. This one is opposite I guess, unique in its shitness.

>>43873437
with the archaon model so huge there is an increased risk of someone accidently smacking the model into smithereens.

Gigantic winged daemon horse would have been better. This look like shit.

>>43873995
It's plastic though so no problem. Plastic does not break or chip.

the ravens are pretty cool

I like doodads like that.

>>43872589
I don't see how he's lacking character. The three heads rep his support from the gods. Slaanesh has been acting weird in AoS so it makes sense he's no there. He has his sword up as to show that he's this top dog guy. The way he's sitting on the beast shows that he has confidence in what he's doing. Like "shit niggas throw whatever at me I got this"

>>43868364
He's the champion of all three chaos gods, "slaanesh who?" Says GW

>>43870453
The elves havery probably forced slaanesh into rehab

i'll be honest, I like new archaon, old archaon still is better in its simplicity but the new one is matching with the AOS aesthetic

>>43871265
My issue is that the AoS models are fucking awesome...for 40k.
I would totally kitbash some sigmarines for a Blood Angel army.
This Archaon's helm would go great with Abaddon.

But what the models are not good for, is fantasy.
Age of Sigmar and Warhammer Fantasy are two utterly different games with different feels, and that is what makes it suck.
AoS tries too hard to differentiate itself from 40k, yet uses the same style, feel, design, ect.
The fact that this replaced fantasy infuriates me to no end

It's like taking 1940s America and throwing a couple Bugatti Veyrons in there.
Sure they look cool as fuck, but they have nothing to do with the established design of the 40s.

WHFB tanked when rules became stupid and models became shitty, trough.

Hopefully it won't happen to AoS, rules are already stupid and models are already shitty.

>>43872910
I think it'd be really good if they released another version of archon with a smaller mount.

And the head things were explained in an earlier post, they represent his dominion over the chaos gods, not their favour. And since slaanesh was already being dominated by elves at this point that's why he didn't conquer it and the horned rat hadn't come into power yet.

Though honestly I think it'd be a pretty cool plot for archon himself to try and free slaanesh from the elves purely so he himself could defeat it.

Still takes balls to actually express an honest opinion regarding anything AoS these days I see.
I like it.
I liked the old one to, remembered when it was released back in the day, and it was cool back then as well.
Though details has refined in later years, so when looking at the old metal model with a cape thats 1cm thick and all, I'm all for the new one, and it looks like a blast to paint....

.... oh.. did I say that out loud? *ahem!* (gets back in to a convincing hipster wargamer character), OH THIS IF FUCKING AWFUL! Worst model ever, will never buy! Look at those shabby details, fucking GW they ruin everything! EVERYTHING!!! Old GW models are far superior in every way, this model proves it!

On a more serious note though, I think this one looks far more suitable for the "new look" of recent AoS releases than the old one. But each to his own I guess

Seriously, I was being sarcastic with my "rant", as 90% of this thread consists of wargamer hipsters to cool to have even the slightest of critical view when watching GW´s latest release, and must follow the stream and hate all the way. This makes them even cooler than us regular nerds, just so you know.

So, step one - Read full post
step two - If you don't get it, shut the hell up.

>>43875483
Does it make you feel better to pretend everyone who dislikes AoS is 'dishonest'? Can you not wrap your mind around the fact the people calling this shit actually think it is?

Because no matter how much you whine, troll and call them 'hipsters' it won't invalidate all the criticisms of the game or make people like it.

>>43875483
is this copied from some forum, or what

*ahem!*? seriously?

>>43875811
No, 90% of this thread consists of people expressing an opinion you cannot handle. So you rationalise it by calling them hipsters for daring to call it as they see it.

The people on /tg/ criticising AoS are not doing it to be cool or 'follow the stream', they are doing that because they actually think its shit.

>>43875918

Oh I can handle it, my point goes out to them not being able to have a critical standpoint. To say like most posters here "I FUCKING HATE THIS, GW SUXX..." and so on, thats what you're typical wargamer hipster looks like.

Id be willing to take any post containing an expression of at least why, and what. Such as my post for instance, I mention I really like the old model, but I have no problem with the new one, I think it fits the esthetics of the new era of miniatures better than the old one.

>>43875846

No, mostly just idiots following the GW haters stream, not taking a second thought on exactly what it is they hate about it.
>Its the price
>Its the pose

>Its the esthetics
>Wheres the Slaneshi head?

These are you're typical posters in this thread, mind me if I missed a few, but these are most of them.
My point being, anyone can be a jack ass just claiming the above, as most people here do. But to say "ok, I don't like it because of this and that, though I do think the quality of the miniature seems good", or how about " Its not my style if miniature, but then again, none of the new releases are", now these are both answers I could take serious.

But this isn't about me "not being able to coop" with all the cool kids extreme points of views. It was mostly me saying that I like the model, it has its pros and cons compared to the old one, but I don't feel its a horrible model. Me, who has played wargames for about 20 years or such, am actually glad GW spoils us with new models that in my personal opinion looks good.

I don't know, I meant adults in their twentysomethings. Sorry for my broken english.

I read the fluff on this thing in a white drawf in my local GW last night.

The "dragon" is his old horse. After archaon refused each of the gods they gave up and sent Champions to off him.

Slaanesh being imprisoned he/she couldnt send one. And Archaon refuses to acknowledge the horned rat as a god at all, so the horned rat didnt send one at all.

After killing each one, the horse ate the bodies and gained a new head and the champions abilities.

I'm very happy that one of the only three non-chaos and non Sigmarine bundles sold since AOS started is the only one of the bundles to be sold out.

And maybe people would take you seriously if you did not dismiss people who disagree with you and try to pretend they are hipsters following the crowd. With no basis to do so beyond their opinion being more prevalent.

Not liking the prices, huge models, the entire existence of AoS, the new aesthetic or the fact its ugly are all valid points of view no matter what you try to claim.

My apologies then.

Now this book here is when things really went wrong. The campaign itself is fine but how GW handled it was awful.

Posting the objectively superior model.

Don't tell me, I still have the WD from that time, and I already cried last week.

Mostly its just about the uncultivated way of expressing once opinion that makes for a bad comment, kind of like yours sir.

But of course people are entitled to their opinion, even if its mostly a personal opinion expressed as "facts", such as
>This model Sucks, the old one was better
See, it does have kind of a "stone age" ring to it doesn't it?

>>43876409
You keep unjustifiably calling those you disagree with hipsters and sheep, you do not get to call anybody else 'uncultivated'. So until you stop the routine and accept people who hate AoS are not just blindly following the crowd nobody is going to take you seriously.

And stop smugly acting like you are somehow more honest than the people you disagree with.

I still even have the 7ed Empire army book, where it confirms that the end of SoC is canon.

It could have been good.

>>43876612
As far as I am concerned the fluff stopped in the aftermath of the failed chaos invasion.

>>43876556

No, thats still not what I'm getting at.
You're entitled to you're opinion. But when it looks like an emo kid saying "You don't know me man, I'm special and no body understands my feelings!", when going in to most of these threads, well... you get the point don't you?

All I'm doing, is pointing at the obvious, hate it or not. No one here is "special" or have a unique opinion, just because they think everything new is bad, and everything supposedly retro is good (This is you're typical hipster wargamer btw). It seems they simply follow the stream for lacking the stones to say anything of their own mind, just like most kids do.

And you can clearly separate the naysayers from the typical hipster wargamers by simply reading a post consisting of a critical view.
Now ta ta, I'm of to bed, no use arguing with someone obviously not capable of grasping what he truly is... or... don't tell me you thought you're cool ways of staying "retro" and hating on the GW "just because" was unique or anything?

>>43876344
damn thats a really nice paintjob

>>43876826
I hope this pathetic attempt to rationalise your beliefs made you feel better.

For the sane people, why are AoS fanboys so desperate to defend their shitty game?

>>43876983
Same reason anyone will defend their hobby.

>>43868364
Finally I got what's making it look really wrong:
It's not because he's big
It's not because of the shield which is actually an improvement in design over the old one
It's not because of the armour face decorations
It's not because of the hole in the sword made to resemble the mouth of the daemon within
Nor the restyle of the helmet to make him look like a king
It's the fucking cape
The cape has no fur part covering the pauldrons

And this could be said for many other models around

Think about it and compare all new archaon's single parts to the old archaon, you will know it is true.


Disregarding the mount: horse drorghar and chimera drorghar are just too different to be compared, also have different ideas to evoke, I preferred horse drorghar for the Napoleonic and "condensed power" look, but chimera drorghar can have its uses too.
Chimera drorghar just misses a slightly better pose, the removal (or a better integration) of the skulls in its body and a head for slaanesh to be a considered a very, very good piece.

>>43877131
the horns could help getting reduced just a little bit too

>>43877037
There is a difference between defending your hobby and desperately screaming hipster when you realise most people disagree with you.
