I never really liked either GW Giant despite liking them in theory. Forgeworld is actually worse.

The Mierce ones are more my style, but still not quite what I want.

Are there any decent alternatives?

So I'm about to finish my WHFB army, and I'm wondering- Rhinox or Mournfangs? Rhinox have a 1+ and more attacks/wounds/toughness/leadership and stubborn, but they have Frenzy, m7 instead of 8, and cost more. On the other hand, I can take units of 1.

How do the two compare? I need some faster units for my Ogre list, and I'm not sure which to get.

Lance formation, followed closely by having been super-forgiving of me being a total newfag painter.

All units are now statted to accurately portray how powerful they are in the fluff. How stacked or screwed is your army? What is your most broken unit? Which models as the most drastic change from original rules?

I play WoC, so probably slightly more powerful again than they are now.

Most broken unit would probably be Chosen, given how they are depicted as being almost Champion level, you'd have a unit of guys with Character stats.

There are 'daemons' associated with non-Chaos gods; there was even a ritual spell in WFRP 2e to summon them.

The thing is, the Gods of Order (or whatever term fits the assorted non-Chaos pantheons) don't want to bring Warp entities into the world, because that's counter-productive for the whole "Keep Chaos bottled up and not spilling out everywhere" thing, so you best have a damn good reason to do it.

In a hypothetical Cathay army, how big a role would cavalry have in proportion to the entire force? Elite shock troops like the Empire? Bulk of the army like Kislev? Pretty much every single unit that matters like Bretonnia?

I don't know much about Cathay lore nor chinese warfare, but I just picture infantry first and foremost when thinking about it.

It would probably be based off Ming china based on the time scale, and they had medium lancers and horse archers in a supporting role.

They're not even worth considering in Fantasy.
They're at best something you buy for fun or as a proxy.

The only exception is the Great Unclean One really, but that's because you don't want the shitty regular model for such a tear-drinking beast.

>>46236155
The Dwarfs of Warhammer Fantasy are not Scots/Irish, they're actually based on the Saxons of the northern British coast. Who were grumbly mining folk with really shitty lives who were content to booze it up and wipe out their entire village out of spite or accident.

Forgeworld never really made anything good for Fantasy except Chaos Dwarfs if you're into them as a faction. The rest of it was dull overpriced shit, or really nice extremely overpriced shit. Most of it didn't even really match the Warhammer aesthetic to the point someone plopping a Forgeworld monster on the table would probably have to whip out their phone and prove its a Forgeworld model rather than something from another company.

Forgeworld mostly exists to sell plastic to Tau and Space Marine players.

The sole exception is the Greater Daemons and Elspeth Von Draken. Pic related. Elspeth is actually really good, but she's really fucking expensive for points and REALLY fucking expensive for moolah.

>>46237208
GUO won't die. They just refuse, and have far better durability than any other "cannon bait" model for their points.
When you field a full Nurgle army, unless your opponent has specifically selected their list to counter you then you're going to be drinking tears. Even if you lose, you're going to make it really fucking long and difficult.

Nice!

So which ones are missing? I was still looking for Terror of the Lichemaster too.

>>46237589
I know we have like, all of the 5thEd+ books (tears of isha, circle of blood, etc)

Dunno whats missing

>>46237294
Im still not seeing it. What makes the GUO so unkillable for its cost?

>>46237641
Terror of the Lichemaster was the first boxed set, the total list of boxed sets is:
1) Terror
2) Tragedy
3) Idol
4) Tears
5) Grudge
6) Sigmar's Blood

But Sigmar's Blood doesn't really count since it was completely different than all the others. Triumph and Treachery may count, at least its closer than SB.

That's not counting White Dwarf campaigns though.

>>46235942
>no good Ming miniatures ever.

An army based on the source would be a sort of horde. The Ming liked to fight behind battlefield wagons and their infantry were well equipped but fairly low morale because it was considered a low status profession. Lots of infantry with all sorts of weapons. Bows, Pikes, Swords, some handguns. Lots of small cannon. Elites would be warrior monks and decent cavalry.

How reasonable would it be to give slayers a special rule where they make an attack or two on death? To represent their glorious end.

>>46238384
Seems more likely to me that their problem is being unable to find a death worthy of them. Maybe you roll for each casualty, on a 6 they survive.

>>46238379
Also remember they have a living sigmar equivalent who may or may not be a chaos worshiper. That could makes for some interesting units.

yeah but the end game is not to bog them down with special rules, in reality they're just dorfs trying to pick a fight with something out of their weight class.
I think all dorfs should have been movement 4 by now, stubby legs don't slow you down that much and game play wise it's made a lot of what should be fun units completely crap.

Is there any pictures with knights of Aluminas or at least description of their heraldry, colour scheme and fluff?

Here is your (you)

>>46238384

They already have that. The one attack, I mean.

I'd buff it for full attacks, like the new space yiffs' rule.

I'd also give them skirmishers, regimental units make no sense in case of the slayers, and solves the shooting issue in a more fluffy way than the 6+ ward, they really should not have 6++.

Also, give them frenzy. Why the fuck are they not frenzied?

So to fix slayers: full attack deathblow, skirmishers, frenzy. There, done. Hell, I'd even give them fucking Vanguard, Look Snorri, trolls anyone?

So what about

Slayer
Slayer Axes
Unbreakable
Full attacks deathblow
Skirmishers
Frenzy
Vanguard if there are monsters or monstrous infantry/cav in the enemy lines
13-14 points

Doesn't seem more broken than Poison, Frenzy, 2hw, ASF, Murderous Prowess and M5 for 11 points.

Or keep the current rules but bring them down to 9 points/models.

Remember, still M3 and no save whatsoever in melee.

>>46235614
No cavalry mentioned in the fluff so you just have to assume they have it. But canon units are one horned ogres, golden dragons and terracotta automaton mentioned in the main rulebook. Tamurkhan mentions animated statues that can swim through solid ground, statues of bird men big enough to lift minotaurs, elite swordsmen, rockets that exploded into living illusions, canons, repeating crossbows and powerful wizards.

>>46234068
>Skaven
The elite units. I don't use Slaves on principle, unless it's a very big game and I have no other core to fill 25%, and I try to avoid Clanrats. It feels nice to field strong tough units in an army that everyone expects to rely on numbers.

>>46234184

I have a question; is anyone familiar with any of Fireforge's miniatures? I've been considering using them for Brets, and for the moment I'd like to focus on the Men at Arms Foot Sergeants of theirs. As I understand the scale isn't quite 100%, which isn't too big a deal for me, but I'd like to know if there are any longbows out there that would fit with them. Crossbows are neat and all, but I actually want to keep with the longbows for my army's theme.

>>46234068
>skaven
It's the hell pit, the way it just evaporates entire units on the charge. Especially if you have two of them hit on the same turn.

>dark elves
Them turbo slut elves, death hags with 4+D3 S6 attacks on a blood cauldron in a unit of witches.
Also after playing skaven for years it's good to finally get a taste of different magic lores.

lmao this and likely the bullshit surrounding FW that infests 40k to some extent is why FW dumped your ass and didn't even finish all of the models.

I don't know what you mean by not matching the Warhammer aesthetic, guess the same nebulous horseshit people would spout about 8th Edition models because they were something other than stiff looking infantry you could rank up.

So, /wfhb/, what are you currently working on?

Jesus I wish that the Demigryph Knights had come out during 7th Edition when the prices on plastic kits weren't total robbery. They're positively gorgeous, but I guarantee you for three modular models ten years ago it would have been like 30-35 USD at most instead of the fucking 50+ that they go for. I got Pegasus Knights when they still came in boxes of three for like 25 USD, but when they broke them up it was instantly 20 for one model. What a fucking travesty, and a waste of like the only decent looking kit to come out for Empire in ages.

>>46240485
That's how science works, generally. Make a thing. If it doesn't work, call it 1.0 and make another thing. Keep going until you succeed. Thing is, the Old Ones ran out of time, threw all their ingredients into a pot to make Halflings and Ogres before they disappeared/died/abandoned the project.

>>46240485
No one knows why the old ones did anything, that's their whole story. I'm pretty sure the old ones could only uplift races, not create them from scratch with all the things they wanted. Otherwise they would have skipped all the prototypes that were the elves, dwarfs and humans, and went straight to their master race intelligent Ogres

>>46240523
I understand that, but why even experiment with living creatures? Even leaving aside the fact that flesh is weak, flesh is corruptible. Souls are corruptible. The only corrupted metal we see is actually forged by chaos-worshippers or daemons.

Make robots or golems, make automatic factories, and let endless stream of recycleable automatons battle endless stream of daemon.

>>46240547
It's hard to say. We know little to nothing about the Old Ones as the only beings to even look upon them without dying are the First Generation Slann (who all died in the first incursion) and the oldest of dragons (who are all asleep or dead). The wisest of Slann, the Second Generation, can only guess from the plaques left behind as to their intentions.

Perhaps they, too, are Chaos Gods? Thus they need living beings to sustain their existence. If the only things around were mindless automate, then there would be no thoughts, emotions or dreams to coalesce into warp entities.

I've recently been to a local GW and one of the redshirts tried to pitch me Sigmarines like he was reading from a script or the implant in his brain would explode. The other times I went there a different redshirt was around and he wasn't nearly as pushy. He was kinda cool, but you could see the pain in his eyes. He knew AoS was failing and he didn't want to lose his job if the store was forced to close down.

He was the only one in the store so I don't think he was pressured into shilling. We had a good chat about WFRP and how both our groups tend to believe that 'retreat' isn't in the dictionary.

>>46240197
how

>>46240485
The old ones were creatures of order that discovered the potential of chaos how the material and the immaterial are intertwined with each other and tried to harness the best from both worlds to make something pure and completely autonomous:
Harmony, focus and stable progress fused with fantasy, raw power and enough freedom of will to shape reality and don't need no man.

Humans are perhaps the closest to this, but having been left unrefined, they are still too unstable, powerful enough to spawn in both setting a very strong willed being that could try to challenge chaos (sigmar and the emperor).

>>46240642
I have a lot of projects on my desk now, and some of them are based first and painted later. Some are weeks, maybe even months old in my backlog. I wanted an ogre with a great weapon instead of two hand weapons so I painted that guy up, not noticing the line until it was pointed out here.

Ogres were the chosen master race, if finished they would have been the ones to stop chaos. Their only weakness was lack of culture beyond tribe level, and low intelligence, which lead them to mimic the cultures they encountered instead of forming their own.

Skaven confirmed for greater than the Old Ones.

>>46240784
I suppose it depends on the brain. It could make them less likely to convert to Chaos, or more likely. The Lizardmen are basically grasping at straws, so they'd be even more likely to create failures where the Old Ones tried.

As flawed as elves may be, as all mortals are, men led to the rise of Necromancy. Let's be fair all around. Nagash's human fear of death drove him to create his own type of magic.

what's wrong with Necromancy?
Nagash ended up one of the greatest threats to Chaos in the world. had Skaven not blown up Naxxrammas, he could've beaten Chaos with endless tide of the dead.
Can't activate Old Ones' machine, if Middenheim is buried beneath mile-tall mountain of corpses. living, angry corpses.

>>46241094
You can't create Archaon that way. Or any of the really special characters like Morghur or Apophas

>>46241024
Even in 8th ED and End Times.

If everyone listened to Elves and Teclis, then everything would have been fine.

I can make a list of bad things that happened because someone ignored an elf.

>>46241086
A trio of Dark Elf sorcerers were captured by Zandri and given to Khemri as a gift to the recently slain King to be buried with him. Nagash learned the art of magic, specifically Dark Magic from them.

I know what you're getting at, but because humans are able to use Dhar, albeit with a lot of fucking backdraws, they can still use it without the influence of elves. It may have taken humans much longer but they still will have used Dhar eventually.

>>46241109
Necromancy means the end of all things. Nagash and his few hand picked lieutenants would be the only sentient beings around.

>>46241114
8th edition is bad and anyone that likes it should feel bad. Teclis is usually right. End Times turned him into a carousel of lore ass-rape.

>>46241109
>What's wrong with necromancy?
Destroyed the most advanced empire of old, rewards personal agendas rather than the good of the multitude, it desecrates and twists the natural order and above all it gave us Manfred.

>>46241109
>Nagash ended up one of the greatest threats to Chaos in the world. had Skaven not blown up Naxxrammas, he could've beaten Chaos with endless tide of the dead

Actually, no.

Nagash planned on harvesting dark magic and the Wind of Magic, and then confronting the Chaos Gods. Teclis and Lileath foresaw that the Chaos Gods who tear him apart. Nagash's arrogance would destroy him because he would confront the Chaos Gods alone without the rest of the Incarnates to back him up.

This was proven true, when Archaon would kill Nagash and repeatedly humiliate him in AoS, despite Nagash ascending to true godhood. Despite all those defeats, Nagash still thinks he is an equal to the Chaos Gods. Such arrogance.

This seems like the only place I could ask this, so I'm going to go for it.

What are the Corpse Geometries? It was mentioned briefly in an intro to End Times but any other info I find just seems to be be "durr hurr look harder". Is it just Old God fuckery Warhammerified or is there actually something to it?

Or am I just going crazy over something Games Workshop doesn't care about?

>>46241112
you can always just carry them over, since games with special characters are rarely competitive anyway

8th Ed and 9th Age are compatible

>>46241122
still, that's not a Chaos victory and Chaos is the big bad. set your priorities straight.

>>46241157
You remember the weave? The thing that connects all living beings and reality together?

Think of the evil version of it with death, suffering, and absolute and changeless order.

It's mentioned in AoS. Nagash talks about it a bit in his audiobook series.

>>46241168
It may not be a Chaos victory right away, but the end result is still the same. No mortals = no Chaos Gods. They need mortals to even exist. The fewer there are, the less powerful they are.

>>46241152
Didn't nagash have a plan of making a warpstone empowered undead army to invade the chaos realm?

That would have been a nice plot to explore and could have given us some nice elite undead units
Imagine a elite blightkings-sized unit of undead warriors with armour similar to nagash, arkhan and neferata
Already got a silly GW name for them blackbone draugarad

>>46241180
>No mortals = no Chaos Gods

It was confirmed in 7th ED and forwards that the Chaos Gods are invading other worlds and realities.

What happens in the Old World, will not affect them much. In fact, they have been exterminating realities and worlds since the dawn of time. They don't give a duck.

>>46241191
Don't underestimate the duck
Nobody can beat the duck

>>46241191
>>confirmed
>>oh shit let's change the rules so our new fluff fits the setting
Yeah, ok. GW doesn't care anymore, they haven't for a long time.

>>46241215
Actually, other worlds, realities, dimensions always existed in the setting since they introduced the Old Ones and the Warp Gates.

>>46241191
The absence of mortals influences the presence and powers of the chaos gods to a local level though

Sorta like the whole deal with a falling tree and none to hear it making the event nonexistent because lolchaos

>>46241221

I'd not be so sure about it, I feel like I could bet money on the twist of malekith actually being the rightful king having been stated in GW's book of secret fluff for a long time.

>>46241236
Are you just throwing random things around? I don't see any change.

The Old Ones travelled around other realities and worlds via the Warp Gate through the Realm of Chaos. Chaos exists as the dominant force in the Realm of Chaos so it should gain access to all the planes of existence connected to it.

>>46241250
No, that's not me.

>dirt cheap lighting cannons
The thing about those is that they're incredibly unreliable and vulnerable to getting blown up by those very same gheists.
Also that random strength shit doesn't help.

Mournfangs are plastic and work well as linebreaker anyway

That's not what I mean with unreliable, in 6th and 7th skaven unreliability meant that sometimes it would either fail horribly or blow a smoldering crater into something.
Now it either fails horribly or manages to slap something, even the AOE blast template isn't that great since everything worth shooting is either much cheaper than it should be or has a way of not giving a fuck.

>>46241483
The WLC can do the work of a normal cannon or a normal stone thrower. The problem is you're never quite sure which it will do, but the odds are in favor of cannon (Strength 6+, enough to wound most monsters) while attempting to use it for the template is difficult to aim (Compared to the doomrocket at least). Of course, 8e's favor given to big units makes it easier to peg them with the template. For monsters shoot 10-11 inches from the back of their base and there's only one result that can waste a good shot, if that (2-6 might still reach depending on their size)

Is your army 100% Warhammer, or it is styled a bit after some other setting? Or maybe it got alternate fluff, so it has equal place both in Warhammer and in some other setting?

>>46241909
Yeah I'm well versed in how to fire the cannon, it's just not as consistent as other cannons but lacks the "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT" effect it once did.
I'd gladly pay the extra 30 points for an empire great cannon from a competitive point of view.

Normally the wheels all spin at different speeds and tear the whole thing apart leaving you with some fraction of four doomwheels and an engine of the gods, which isn't too shabby a force but for the fact that the wheels will probably fry each other and the engine with lightning.. Every once in a while you can keep it going for a little bit, during which time you have a juggernaut of destruction akin to an iron daemon made out of real daemons (Bloodthirsters and lords of change, to be precise). Some day, however, all four Doomwheels will move at triple-six speed and hit the positive result on their misfire tables, then roll quad-sixes the next round. At that point the device will radiate a fantastic emerald light as it ascends to the warp, slaying with its magnificence anything that does not avert its eyes from the splendor. Then, the Chaos Gods will die.

Depends on your opponents.

If you're getting assraped by monsters, not enough. If your opponent never has a monster survive the battle even when they win, too many.

Well, I am sad to say this, but I'll just give up. I don't have the funds to buy all the models right now they are phasing out, and really need way too much of them, I'll just list my current models on ebay and leave the game.

No idea what GW's plan is, I usually spend around 1.5-2k GBP a year on a hobby, now they will be not getting that money from me. Why do they thought that squatting half their range will do good for the range? A mystery.

The Sisters themselves were great, the dragon was the problem. But those are shitty on the other extreme.

Honestly, GW just cannot make a goid dragon. They never have.

I just made my fifth ever GW direct purchase rather than second hand.
I bought the 7e High Elves book and the female High Elf Mage. I bought the 8e book and Heraldry. I bought Alarielle, a Handmaiden, and some Sisters. I bought a The Hobbit Great Eagle set.

Now, I've made my last purchase. Sisters of Twilight, a High Elf Lord, and Althran on foot. I'll put the Sisters on one of the Hobbit Eagles.

I'm officially done forever, and...it hurts. I don't like this, it sucks.

Honest question, I'd appreciate honest answers.

Lizardmen players, are you happy? The Elves and humans almost all went first. The Empire, Bretonnia, Dwarfs, High Elves, Dark Elves, Wood Elves, almost entirely squatted save a few individual kits. You lost nothing at all, and are poised to become as important as Sigmarines in the new lore.

How do you guys feel? Relieved, schadenfreude, alone, full of pity? Indifferent?

I want to start a wood elves army. Are there any cheaper 3rd parties than GW? Most of what i can find are just elves, without the wood part. I'm talking for units, characters i can find easily.

>>46249661
Reaper has pretty good wood elves, but they ain't cheaper.

>>46249657
>gosh, that takes some serious level of sucking

GW has willingly given up borderline monopolies in almost every genre of non historical wargame because they were worried it would hurt their main product. Thus allowing dozens of competitors to spring up to fill the voids they left. I am not surprised they cannot make a good pub lunch.

>>46249728
Thanks.
Though it looks like it'd be easier to just use nude minis of which there are way too many on the market to make a "skyclad" wood elf army. *sigh*

Is it just me, or did that diorama draw its inspiration from this picture?

So, uh... i've heard that the last editions exploded the unit sizes. How big were armies in 6th, compared to 8th?

>>46250508
In 6th normal infantry came in blocks of 20, elites were viable in blocks of 10 and goblins could be around 30.

In 8th normal infantry blocks were easily hitting 40. They also reduced how much models cost points wise while raising their monetary cost and reducing box sizes.

So in 8th you needed four £15 boxes to make a single unit of say state troopers. Unsurprisingly changing the games rules solely to make more money backfired spectacularly for GW.

>>46250508

Same shit really. My Slayer army at 2k points had around 90 models, that's a higher count than any of my dwarf armies had at 2400 in 8th

Only difference was in the unit sizes. 8th was less units, more models per units, while 6th more units, less models per units

Are any of the Empire and Dwarf models so iconic I should buy them because proxies just won't be the same?

I was considering those armies, but already impulse bought some models from Elves.

I have a Bugman already if that means anything.

Also, anyone else find it strange that Karl Franz isn't removed?

The 40K fans aren't happy with the direction either.

>>46250946
They do have advertising. Of a dead game they're burying.

Think of it, they axed the bulk of the two armies featured in Total Warhammer.

Total Warhammer can be pre-ordered with goods costing $150 representing a faction that was removed.

Its like Blizzcon 2017 being decked out in emblems of Arthas Menethil. Or Han Solo being used to advertise Star Wars episode 8. Or Beavis and Butthead bumps on MTV2.

>>46251012
Its amazing how many 40k players just stopped buying until they see what GW does with the game.

And GW following the 'points and restrictions lower sales' policy with 40k is causing a lot of tension among players. Particularly between the 'I miss a character, 2 squads and a tank being the normal game size' and 'the rules let me take knights and baneblades in normal 40k games, git gud' schools of thought.

>>46251065
>Its like Blizzcon 2017 being decked out in emblems of Arthas Menethil
they brought back Illidan
why can't they bring back Arthas?
or time travel to when Arthas was alive
Blizz lore is so full of bullshit all bets are off

>>46251012
That's my point, they hid the Space Marine under the stairs behind a Sigmarine advertisement, and put a giant Sigmarine in its place.

If Age dies while that's there? Fitting beyond belief.

Even more if they never put the Sigmarine back.

Homestly, I think the mass model squattings are to trump up panic sales in order to artificially drive up stock value long enough to sell the company and IPs at a higher price.
Its a common business tactic. Fluff up the feathers of the prized hen at auction, hide the hole in the wall while selling the house.

>>46251289
Yeah, if I could play 7th rules with 6th armybooks, that'd be keen. I really didn't mind the 6th Ed. BRB, but 7th smoothed out a lot of little problems. It was when armies started to get universal Hatred against all enemies and Vampires could net 24 power dice in a magic phase without really sacrificing anything that 7th edition shat the bed. A lot of the special rules ceased to be special and the powercreep just made it so armies that were even merely behind the most recent were totally shafted (see: Empire vs. Skaven using either army's respective 7th ed armybook).

>>46251325
It's funny though, because while I agree with this, the discussion tends to be lackluster in the third party games' general threads. /kowg/ moves at a glacial pace, and that's the one game that literally pulls gamers into an alley and says "Pssst, hey kid, wanna buy some warhams?" The way that other games have made serious departure from being comparable, like Warmahordes, has really just balkanized the fantasy miniatures communities even further than it had been prior to AoS.

These truly are... The End Times.

>>46248182

>Why do they thought that squatting half their range will do good for the range? A mystery.

It's not a mystery, not even close. Pretty much everything getting moved to Last Chance is metal, Finecast, or old plastic, the first two of which GW has been making an effort of phasing out in favor of plastic if it's pragmatic to do so. Honestly would not be surprised if most of the lord and hero models don't even sell well enough to justify taking up space.

>>46248355

>GW is so fucking retarded that they actually timed the complete removal of fantasy with Total Warhammer coming out.

I can't wait for Total Warhammer to come out and this line of reasoning to be proven for the last gasp of hope that it really is.

Go on /v/ sometime when there is a 40k thread and you will discover that only one or two people really show an interest in getting into the tabletop game. Most are interested in the actual video games, the lore, and posting old memes. They don't give a damn about the tabletop game or painting.

Warhammer and 40k aren't inexpensive hobbies and neither is video games if your tastes aren't limited to one or two genres and you don't pirate. Which means if the two can't be balanced that the person coming from video games is usually going to stick with them.

This isn't even touching upon how the developers of Total War aren't necessarily universally loved after their actions over the past so many years.

Headed out west across the mighty sea

I'm shipped UPS from the land of the Queen
Starin' at bubbles

And hope to Breton
The address is written down right


I made it to New York in seventeen days

But ahead of me I still got a ways

And I'm hopin' the Lady

Will see me to Cali tonight

So paint me silver like a cared-for blade

Paint me with varnish so I don't fade

Hail my liege, paint me

Paint my standard, paint my heraldry

So our foe across the table can see

Hail my liege, paint me

My first Lord was angered by the new Age

The fate of my kin was to be put on eBay in rage

The Green Knight went to Glasgow

I shipped to 'murrica

We were stripped of our paint to sell for slightly more

Lost my shield, and my unit was sent to Australia

But I won't lose this lead test
I will wave your colors with pride


So paint me silver like a cared-for blade

Paint me with varnish so I don't fade

Hail my liege, paint me

Paint my standard, paint my heraldry

So our foe across the table can see

Hail my liege, paint me


He tried the four pages of Age rules

But without points it was just a joke

The game is for fools

So like the other old school fans he jumped ship

To that Malifaux, and X-Wing

And sold us all with no small amount of salt

So to you my liege I come first class

With a silent cry of Deus Vult

In a padded envelope

And in my heart I sing

So paint me silver like a cared-for blade

Paint me with varnish so I don't fade

Hail my liege, paint me

Paint my standard, paint my heraldry

So our foe across the table can see

Hail my liege, paint me

Not sure you realize how stupid you are. How many posters write about the 40k stuff in /v/, 100-200? So you mean 1% of them are interested in the game? How man people play an AAA title? Empire II sold 2.5 million copies, conservative estimates set pirating to buying rate 10:1 (hardcore guesses say 100:3 btw), so lets say 25 million players played Empire II. 1% of that is 250000 players. Let's go further, take 10% of those actually buying something, 25000 players. I'm pretty fucking sure that's more than the whole GW NA playerbase.

>>46251710
But TWR did well financially and was later fixed of most of its bugs while fan modding did the rest of the work.

People decry TWH not having mod support, but that doesn't mean it won't have mods. Kids today forget that games that support modding are a very new thing, and every popular game has a modding community.

that would be mom miniatures, one of the holy trinity of Spanish model makers. Probably the very best price to quality ratio you'll find, with infantry ranging from 1 euro for 20mm base sized models like these Tercio or his Dwarves, or at most 1.5, 1.66ish for 25mm guys like orcs or chaos warriors. Heros are generally 4 euros, command groups are generally 9, and big shit is 20 like that beasty or a jugger lord or 40 if it's really big like his greater deamon. He also has some incredibly cheap very cool terrain, like 5 euro 7 inch dwarf statues.

since musicians being worthless for Wardancers... would you object if an anon fielded a musician model, possibly even several, in a Wardancer unit, that would count as regular rank-and-file models?
