So, Endhammer big-ups Bretonnia, which I like, because Bretonnia is best faction with Literal Best Girl, the Lady of the Lake.

But the civil war and the Norscan invasions should have fucked it. And "Errantry Wars to Tilea" don't really work when all of the Knights Errant died at the battle of Altdorf. Any suggested changes from the good people of /tg/?

Another Bret model for your trouble:

Dude. Just go back to the AoS Thread with your own kind. You can talk to them about your Cyber Skydragons and Undead DeadlyDeath Legions.

>>46731863
But Endhammer uses the "End Times" to an extent. Moving the story forward would be fun, though I'd prefer Storm of Chaos as a better written alternative. Even if Grimgor Ex Machina.

It didn't take long for Bretonnia to fall. Our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough.

For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we have King of War, Frostgrave, WHFB legacy players, and we shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory - your victory - was so close… I wish you could have lived to see it.

But you belong to us, now. Your molds, your sprues - all burned and turned to plastic dust. Everything… except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild.

Man O War is pretty fun when you're fighting other ships. Right now, fighting giant sharks is tiring and predictable. Pic related is about how it is landmass wise this early, you can pass right through old wrecked ships like this and certain rocks, but others are unpassable by large margins.

Still, it is very young and ship to ship combat is fun. Also, for the love of God, I cannot figure out how to whip out a sword and wreck some orcs trying to board my ship. Anybody know?

>>46732528
Then use Storm of Chaos as it actually went on the table with Chaos getting shit stomped before even reaching Kislev.

Chaos didn't get somped in Kislev. Valten and Archaon had their fight in Middenheim, like in End Times.

And Storm of Chaos doesn't provide new/returning villains in the form of Nagash and his cronies.

I feel like this is kinda missing the point of warhammer honestly. The setting at large is just supposed to be a back drop. The actually story is the little engagements between your fairly small forces, it's about the quest of Lothar Bubonicus to become a Daemon prince or Captain Oberhan to lead his men into the woods to slaughter the beastmen who threaten to burn down the village of Essdenburg or the High elf expedition stealthy sneaking across the sea in a single ship seeking to rescue their general's captured cousin from their dark kin in Naggaroth.

>>46732761
Seems like a pretty balanced post to me.
And he's right the ship to ship combat is nice but everything else still feels very very incomplete.

>>46732528

>>46732782
>I feel like this is kinda missing the point of warhammer honestly. The setting at large is just supposed to be a back drop.

Exactly. But these kids have to be spoonfed with 'stories', as they can't make their own up. Why do you think stormcasts came to be, a model line that you could make look nice with zero imagination or skill.

GW doesn't want hobbyist anymore, not for a long time, they want consumers. Anything people are making for themselves is something that they can't profit from, so it is bad.

is it so hard to ingore him? seriously?

>>46732805

Well this is true with or without you, the AOS thread is a shithole that is either trolled to death, full of insecure AOS players who think everyone else is out there to get them, or have carnac shouting anime every third post.

>>46732869
>the AOS thread is a shithole
Excet the fact that we really discuss the game, not collective fanfictions.

>>46732332
The real image is WHFB being stomped on the ground, narrowly clinging to life despite grevious injuries, GW doing the stomping while holding an aborted or stillborn fetus that is AoS, all while 40k watches in dismay, 9th age and endhammer try to cheer WHFB back into the fight, and Mantic wrings its hands while grinning with gleeful greed.

>>46732869

Insecure is an understatement this point. There is a guy who wants to "blacken his boxes with flame" to prove that he bought them lol.

Hello slav.

Nobody 'discusses' the game there, because there really isn't anything to discuss, a few are drooling over the 'story'. The only discussion of the game was when someone presented how fucking broken AoS tournaments are with the 5+ $100 monsters per force armies.

>>46732761

You're right bro. I took a picture of the game glitching and shit talked it just now because I'm shill. I'm definitely not trying to make the thread not shit. Ya got me.

>>46732641

Another point about Man O War, I have a pretty decent rig and right now MoW adds about 40 F to my comp just by running. Evidence of a pretty inefficient coding job, but I really don't know what engine it uses or if they built it from scratch.

Just ignore the troll with no friends, shilling because GW is paying him to sell the unsellable.

(Fun fact, Warhammer Fantasy got Vermintide, Total War, Mordheim, and Man O War in video game form. Really. It's a dead game. Unpopular. Nobody likes it).

>>46732782
Man, what are campaigns if not that? I've liked Forgeworlds contributions because they provide new campaigns, new mini-settings that provide STORY to what's going on.

Hell, Tamurkhan, Throne of Chaos was great. As was Badab Wars. Personally, I'd like to see a Magnus the Pious and Great War Against Chaos setting.

Rules for Asavar Kul, Magnus, Engra, High King Alriksson, Tzar of Kislev, etc.

Magnus, obviously. He didn't need to be infused with a god to kill an Everchosen in single combat. Hell, he didn't even have Ghal Maraz at the time.

The Dwarfs had High King Alriksson. He answered Magnus's call and marched to Kislev to defend it from Asavar Kul. Joined up with Magnus's two armies at Kislev City.

Magnus had the Ar-Ulric lead an all-cavalry army to ride ahead of him in hopes of relieving Praag, but Engra Deathsword destroyed the city, first.

The elves did indeed have the same king. Hell, Teclis was involved. Teclis went to Magnus to help him, and Magnus had Teclis teach the first Empire wizards and found the Colleges of Magic.

Know what's funny about AoS guys? They feel the need to prove something is dead or popular, because they just cannot enjoy what they like. They need the newest fashonable thing. How pathetic.

Even if they were right and WHFB was dead (it isn't), why on Earth would I care? Me and friends can still play it.

>>46733925
Magnus is possibly one of the best characters in Warhammer and he got so little love. He wasn't even a fucking Elector Count.

Magnus von Bildhofen was just a minor nobleman from Nuln during the Age of the Three Emperors. The Empire heard of the Everchosen's declaration of war, but as there was no Emperor, they could not unite on a way to respond. Magnus, a man of great faith and foresight, realized that politics were killing the Empire (and would kill the world).

So, he traveled from city to city, town to town, like an earlier Luthor Huss. As he went, he gathered knights, flagellants, pilgrims, all of them willing to put their lives on the line to fight against chaos and march to Kislev.

When he arrived in Middenheim (one of the major holdouts -- they'd earlier elected their own Ulrican Wolf Emperors), he was chalenged by the Ar-Ulric as a fraud, a liar, and a charlatan. In response, Magnus walked through the Sacred Fire of Ulric -- only a man true of heart and word can walk through the fire. The Ar-Ulric swore himself to Magnus, and Magnus made the Ar-Ulric his second-in-command and leader of his cavalry.

At the same time, Teclis sensed his potential and went to him. The humans could not triumph through strength of arms alone. They would need magic and only the elves could teach them. Similar, High King Alriksson of Karaz-a-Karak promised to march to Kislev's aid and took his throng north.

Four armies met Chaos at Kislev City, the remains of the Gospodar royal army, the Imperial Cavalry under Ar-Ulric, the slower army of pilgrims, volunteer troops, and warrior priests under Magnus (and his new mages), and the Throng of Karaz-a-Karak. Together, they broke the might of Chaos and drove it back to Norsca and the Kurgan Wilds. In single combat, Magnus the Pious (his hair shaved into a top knot to reveal his scalp to Sigmar) threw down the Everchosen of Chaos and ruined his armies.

>>46734183
That's badass.

Magnus was essentially divinely anointed. By walking through the Sacred Flame of Ulric without burning, he showed himself to be an utterly honorable man and approved of by Ulric himself. In addition, he appears to have been a warrior priest (given the way he dressed), but he used a sword, so who knows.

Magnus was the first Emperor in hundreds of years to unite the Ulricans within the Empire. Prior to that, you had Emperors declaring themselves in Altdorf, Marienburg, etc. and the Ulricans always having their own Wolf Emperors and refusing to bow.

Magnus was the first dude to make them listen.

When he came back from the Great War Against Chaos, he was unanimously elected emperor and began ruling from Nuln. He gave the county of Reikland to the Holswig-Schliestein family (Karl-Franz's dynasty; ergo Magnus is responsible for Karl's pre-eminence).

He set up the Colleges of Magic, ruled the Empire, and was basically an awesome dude.

>>46733399

>>46734571
Yes. Altdorf is formally the capital of Reikland. And its the largest, most glorious city. Thus, there's a large amount of deference towards the Count of Reikland.

However, if someone else is elected, say Stirland, the Imperial Court would be in Wurtbad.

Well, first things first. Stats for the Dramatis Personae:

-Ar-Ulric Kriestov
-Tzar Alexis Vassilivich of Kislev
-High King Alriksson of the Dorfs
-Young Teclis (and his comrades, Finreir and Yrtle)
-Volans, the First Supreme Patriach (Lore of Light)

-Asavar Kul, Everchosen of Chaos
-Engra Deathsword, the Butcher of Praag
-Sven Bloodyhand

(Interesting note, the Great War of Chaos also saw Malekith almost successfully conquering Ulthuan after the Black Arcs sailed out alongside a fleet of Norscans devoted Nurgle -- Great Plague Fleet of Nurgle. N'kari, the Keeper of Secrets, was also summoned to hunt Alarielle.)

In Minor Noble form, he retains Zealous Devotion and has 6+ Ward Save, boosted to 5+ in challenge, W2, and 18" Inspiring Presence.


I guess this needs updated Lore of Ice Magic, which can be used both by Kislevite witches and Ar-Ulric (who can purchase a few spells as bound spells).

>black armour: the black armour grants a 1+ armour save
>the butcher's blades: the butcher's blades are a pair of weapons that grant +1 in strenght and the killing blow special rule
>wind of destruction: whenever engra has to roll on the eye of the gods table, instead roll a scatter dice (if a HIT is rolled you choose the direction), all enemy units under the line drawn between engra and the direction rolled are hit by the wind of destruction, d3 models per rank under the line must pass a toughness test or be removed as casualties, if a piece of terrain is hit by the wind all enemy models inside or in contact with the terrain must take the test instead and have to reroll succesful rolls of 1 for it; for each friendly unit hit by the wind or in contact, or inside, a terrain hit by the wind, roll a dice, on a 1 the unit suffers the effects of the wind as if being an enemy unit

how many points should he cost? considering that a chaos lord costs 210pts, but engra's profile has more +1 in WS and I in comparison, a magic armor that confers a 2+ is on the rulebook and costs 45pts, but engra would already have his chaos armour (4+), engra has fear, hatred and immune to psychology because he was a leader of some swords of chaosbnefore , the upgrade for a chaos knight to become a sword of chaos is 5pts; ensorcelled weapons for chaos knights cost 3pts, on the other hand there're magic weapons conferring the different bonus of the butcher's blades for circa 20pts per bonus. finally there's the wind that is difficult to do an estimation for the cost, but it replaces completely the bonus from the eye of the gods and is not very reliable. How about around 450pts? above valkia and sigvald, still below stuff like kholek and archaon

>he's not a knight

I ended up with a free 30 dollar bloody champ of bloodthirstiness besides throwing it in the garbage can I was thinking of making up some Mordheim rules for him! Anyone want to help out with that? So far I'm thinking of having him randomly spawn, be beefy, and if you defeat him in glorious singular combat he joins your warband but as an upkeep he kills one of your dudes and lowers your leadership by a cumulative -1 until you kick him out. Also possible temp group buffs like +1atk or +1str in the next game...rolling on a table of course.

>>46735128
I assume he'd have a Runefang when he was an Elector Count as KF does. Obviously GM when he's Emperor.

>>46736683

Interesting. A neat short-term advantage that turns into a real liability in the long run and necessitates you kicking him out with his insatiable thirst for blood.

>>46736785
That's what i was going for making him a beast but an increasing liability as well. The only problem is that i obviously don't want to make him too ridiculous also maybe add something were depending on the rank of guy you sacrifice nets you additional rolls on the charts (henchmen 1, heroes 2). Since he's huge too i was thinking about using the Ogre template as a base but lower the speed to make it more in line with a chaos warrior and give him Large Target

As a fan of both fantasy and age of sigmar who enjoys playing both with friends in GW and out of GW even I can admit the part where he refused to open the boxes is kinda shilly.

>>46735419
All editions require fine tuning, 6th is comfy mode because its rules do a lot more to reflect tiny plastic men fighting on a table top.

>>46735753
He seems over worked, like the old combat monster grimgor or everyones first champ..
By the numbers he hits as hard as a lord on manticore +2 wizard levels so should be priced appropriately.
>550

>>46737058

Could work. You obviously want a beast for the team that's a great boom, but you don't want it unbalancing the whole game and you don't want him to stick around either by becoming a liability.

I'm unfortunately unfamiliar with Mordheim, but you could take steps to ensure that his impact on the table is mitigated unless properly supported.

Still, love the idea. I love cinematic touches and random encounters and opportunities for further play and narrative development which can crop up during play.

I'm flubbing strongman so that it removes the penalty from the morning star even though it's not a 2 handed weapon in case that actually doesn't work.

I still think the End Times lore that made the Lady of the Lake in to nothing more than an Elven goddess that was using the Bretonnians is pretty lame.

This might be shit tier, but what if Lileath did indeed start out intending to use Bretonnia, but her plan backfired and the Brets faith was so strong that she was warped into what the Brets thought the Lady of the Lake was and the old Lileath was lost.

So does anyone still watch warhammer fantasy battle reports?
I was thinking of starting a whfb/ age of sigmar youtube channel and recording my games. My friends and I are all fucking hilarious so at the very least the banter would be strong, even if watching us move models is like pulling teeth.

>>46739414
It was always heavily implied that the lady was really an elven goddess and the wood elves have always been manipulating the brets.

I would have liked it if it had all turned out to be bullshit in the end though, as if an entire nation of die hard knights had created a chivalry goddess.
That would probably have been left for a bighthammer ending though.

The fuck are you on about 500 pages? The 7th Ed rule book is like 278 pages and less than half of that is rules. And of those rules about a quarter of it is explaining basic tabletop shit for people who've never played any sort of tabletop game before.

Just because you're too fucking ADHD to spend 20 minutes reading the rules doesn't make it dead. The fantasy community is a live and well where I am.

It's weird, throughout Glottkin and the accompanying Novel, the Lady seems to be her own separate goddess in the realm of dreams who actually cares about the bretonnians. Then the entire storyline about the human gods gets dropped in the next book and lileath is shown to be a cold hearted bitch who was only using the brets as pawns the whole time.

I like the idea that the Bretonnians faith in the lady manifested its own sperate entity that was and wasn't lileath. Someone had to be answering those prayers and guiding the questing knights all the time, and it makes more sense that a separate goddess was doing it than Lileath taking more direct hand in human affairs than her own people.

Then again, realms of sorcery suggests that Prayers have almost nothing to do with gods and it is just willpower and ritual acting in concert to produce low level spells. makes me think that humans produce some sort of gestalt field like orcs, though on a lesser degree. That would explain what human "faith" really is. Those bretonnian knights just believed that bullets are unmanly and wouldn't touch them so hard that it manifested in a protective field.

>>46740409
I don't mean the writing. I mean Forgeworld putting out units from another time period.

I'm new to Warhammer, but as I was buying into the hobby (still am really) they released Age of Sigmar. I understood the points systems of 8th edition, but how do they balance warscrolls now?

Is each warscroll equal to one another and why do some tournaments ban formation bonuses? Basically, I don't understand the 'legal rules' for proper tournament play?

>>46740646
If you and your opponent have the same number of models, it's balanced. That is my understanding of it, which may be wrong. You'd be better off asking in the Age of Sigmar thread on how to construct an army under that ruleset.

>>46740646
Don't bother with Age of Smegmar and Warscrolls. Stick to 8th and you'll be fine.

>>46740646
Dude, make your own rules lmao

Generally it's one warscroll = one warscroll, no mstter what it is, which leads to the game being a horribly broken mess

>>46740933
So far my local scene is pretty much 8th with a few guys doing AoS. But yea, I think I'll stick with 8th, besides that has the most armies anyway.

>>46740646
See, I totally agree that it being 1 to 1 is insane! I'm still an amateur, but even I see that it becomes a wobby mess of a game with that in mind.

>>46737869
I got to start somewhere. sorry man.

>>46740646
Most people take 1 for 1 warscrolls but there are no actual rules at all balancing them. There is for example no reason in the world to take clan rats over storm vermin.

>>46741687
Such is the curse of ebay.

I'd buy it but I already have 100 too many rats

Why ice powers? I know Ulric is a winter god, but do Knights of the White Wolf/Teutogen Guard exhibit such powers?

Not against it, but it seems like something you'd reserve to make Kislev unique.

Also needs the ability to purchase a barded warhorse.

-Ice Wizard

>>46743515
I googled it anon don't feel bad

>>46743945
Typical statline human soldiers with bs 4 on horses with short bows and counting as light cav, having no armor or barding.

Maybe give "ungol horses" higher LD/M to represent excelent horsemanship.

I don't think they need a long list of special rules.

>>46732528
>Even if Grimgor Ex Machina.
Bullshit, Grimgor WHOOPED Archaon's ass. Chaos was blasted and humilliated in that campaign. But since Gav Thorpe and others at GW have such a big boner for fantasy chaos they literally rewrote everything so that they could win which is BS.

In my headcanon the end times and other shit is what would have happened had chaos won, but alas they DID NOT.

>>46743993
You realize chaos only got shit on is SoC because the chaos book was actual dog shit.

>>46743993
I know Chaos lost most of the games represented by people in stores, but we both know Archaon should have beaten Grimgor going off their respective fluff. Now, Grimgor's no slouch. It would have been a hard battle. But Grimgor shouldn't have just bitch-slapped him after a Valten fight.

What if it was Valten + Grimgor vs. Archaon in a climactic battle? Instead of Grimgor showing up at the end?

>>46743989
Oh. Yeah, that's fine.

>>46740478

>the Lady seems to be her own separate goddess

Only because she hadn't revealed herself, Lileath was able to trick people into believing she was Ladrielle, who is kind of similar to the Lady.

>>46740478

>lileath is shown to be a cold hearted bitch who was only using the brets as pawns the whole time.

She may not have had any special affection for them as a goddess, but they were being used for a good cause.

>>46744048
Not really, maybe you sucked and kept getting cucked.
My friend had a khorne army and he kept rekting everyone on tournaments on france circa 04-06.>>46744095
>but we both know Archaon should have beaten Grimgor going off their respective fluff
Fact is he did NOT.
The fluff and story was made by the campaign results, therefore we wrote the fluff.

Retconing everything to make Archaon win was like a manchild crying and making a tantrum because his character didnt win in the roleplaying game.

>>46743989
Gryphon Legion/Winged Lancers using Polish Lancers from WarlordGames?

>>46744381
The cmpaign was literally designed so chaos would win if they won close to 50% of their games.

If that didn't happen at that sample size it's pretty fucking obvious there was a balance issue mate
>>46744381
Sure, I would just stat them as heavy armor wearing lance cav, nothing to special there.

>>46744621
Actually all they had to do was touch the castle walls to win.

>>46744621
Its Warhammer. The game is wildly unbalanced, and you seem to be forgetting that one of the most broken armies of 6e was chaos.

It was self evidently too weak. If it lost so badly with such a large sample size of players it's pretty obvious it was weak in some way.

in one of Sigmar's novels Ar-Ulric had an axe of pure ice and the cauldron where he baptized Sigmar was freezing cold. I guess icy powers make as much sense for Ar-Ulric, as all those flaming attacks and other battle prayers for sigmarite Warrior Priests.

Not ice magic to Teutogen / KotWW though. That's purely Ar-Ulric's turf, imho.

That way, Kislev would still be fairly unique, yet there'd be a visible tie between it and Empire, to show their unity and stuff.

Its a shame GW was too stupid to let this happen during 6th edition.

But then lots of sad things have happened because GW is stupid.

Looking at that 80s-90s five-buck toy, that is Stardragon, I had a thought... why don't anyone - especially Dark Elves, since they ain't got no respect for their monsters - put armour on their dragons? Or other monsters for that matter? No matter how tough a Stonehorn is, a Stonehorn covered in metal plates is tougher still, no?

Anyone? >>46747544

>>46748034
Armor can be cumbersome, could reduce the innate agility of some monsters or limit their movement, rendering them more vulnerable.
Also, dragon scales are theoretically tougher than metal, in Warhammer. It'd be the equivalent of covering plate armour with parchment.

Not to mention that such a large amount of metal would be extremely expensive. If most armies already have a hard time equipping everyone with light armour (and we are counting a bunch of wood plates as armour) then it doesn't make sense to protect an already tough monster with even more armour.

>>46748370
The sad thing is GW is run by nutcases who actually think this way.

The thread is full of trolls. Even whineseer is more positive about AoS...

I'm still playing 6E anyway, haven't played AoS yet but bought a few more Daemons in case I do.

>>46748859
Sorry, you can't express a single positive emotion towards AoS in this thread. You either hate it until your mouth's foaming, or you belong in AoS thread and Hell. No middle ground here.

>>46748928

No buddy, the issue is that whenever someone mentions aos, that retarded troll comes and fucks up the thread. You know, the one who insists that stormcasts share more similarities with witchers than with space marines and argues that Warriors of Chaos use the warp to travel for every campaign and are basically deep striking.

Besides, AoS is not the topic of this thread.

I know about all the
Of those much more than you two faggots fusionned. But do you think the average Gamer is going to quit call of duty, fifa, assassins creed, WoW, to dedicate time to all that shit ? Yeano.

Also be it Z or CMON, they don't match the original, expect old shitty models.
And each hundred £€¥$₩ you saved on the figure is a hundred hour is rebending/resculpting your titan. I make half a titan an hour and don't have time with this shit, neither is the total war target demographic of 12-20 years old

wow, I ain't heard those ones before. that's fucking retarded.


but my (half-sarcastic) reply still valid though

>>46748964
The average gamer didn't even know what Warhammer was besides those cool boxes

Now at least they are interested in the setting, and some may even get into wargaming, even if it is a rather obscure hobby

>Ad hom
He mad

>>46748964
To each their own. I make about $40/hr and spend $200 a month on models and that keeps me busy for the month. Sure it's expensive but I don't have any other hobbies so eh.

And some people are getting bored of the same old shit with vidya games and miss the social aspect where you can dick about with armies with friends. That's why I love wargaming. I play DnD once a week and 6E every couple of weeks and it's more fun than I ever had with vidya.

>>46748964
>Total war target demographic is 12-20 year old
Funny because outside of Warhammer (surprisingly) Total War games were mostly /his/bait, also, I doubt any underage can handle the DLC rape

>>46749028
>Some people

Not enuff to keep whfb alive hehe?
Those people either play x-wing (no painting and instant gaming) or 40k (sci fy sells) not whfb. All your second paragraph literally apply to the whole industry, that's why whfb is dead

>>46749057
My 55 year old dad has played Rome total war (original) almost every day since it came out.

>>46749067
Actually I only got back to WHFB, I quit in about 2007 and only started buying models again last year (after AoS launched). Vermintide and Total War Warhammer (and a lot of disposable income) just reignited the flame.

Still play 6E but I always got the impression WHFB peaked around 7E and then started dying. No one I knew bought new models and new people weren't coming in. I have no idea how well AoS is doing but if I tried to get into 8E or 9th age I would be fucked basically as there are a lot of new rules I can't be bothered to learn and I'd have to paint a whole bunch of chaos chariots...

>>46749108
>I'd have to paint a whole bunch of chaos chariots

Yeah, all four of them... I have never used more than that, that's like 500 pts with marks + 2-4 unit of dogs and your core is filled.

Unless you wanna do the ten models army there is no reason for more. But really, if you have issues with the amount of painting in case of WoC, I'd suggest finding another hobby, or play 40k Imperial Knights.

>>46748875
>a $60 game is superior in every.single.way.

If you actually think this is true why are you here instead of /v/?

Also what's with all these people who bitch about painting and modelling as if its not a core part of the experience?

>>46748838
It really isn't a valid comparison. X-Wing not only has a HUGE license recognition, but it's prepainted and markets itself differently from hobby-focused miniatures wargames. It's more similar in some aspects to an LCG.

AoS still shit though.

>>46748828
>2016 has been ultra-profitabke for them until now
Then why does pic related say they're worse off today than in the last 364 days?

>>46749148
It's not that I don't mind painting, it's just I hate the chariot model and doing 4 would depress me. My Chaos army from 6E is completely incompatible with 8th and it just makes me sad because it's not even particularly optimised.

I have IIRC (not at home right now so I'm missing a few models):
A daemon prince,
A sorceror on a horse,
Mounted Daemonettes,
40 Marauders,
20 Warhounds,
40 Chaos Warriors
20 Mixed Gors/Ungors

I don't even have knights or anything that's actually GOOD in 8E.

>>46749179
Share price has nothing to do with profits, also global economy is getting a bit fucked so investors are a bit worried about luxury goods i.e. plastic army men.

I don't really understand, what motivates these braindead GW apologists to keep repeating that Fantasy or its fans are somehow at fault for GW killing it?

Everyone can see that it only declined after GW broke it in their mad quest for more sales.

>>46740316
They have a mini rulebook for 7th and 8th too.

>>46749179
>not showing a massive spike of income after release of based Stardrakes who sell by hunders

graph clearly outdated or even fake

>>46749228
And GW broke it well before AoS was even a thing.

>>46749201

That's not as bad as a start as you'd think. Marauders are suboptimal and you can't really use gors, but otherwise warriors are still good, daemon princes are better than ever, hounds are always useful, and you can use the mounted daemonettes as Slaaneshi Hellstriders (I do the same with my JD mounted daemonettes).

WoC is in the upper echelon of army books, everything works out of them. If I were you I'd get a chimera and some skullcrushers/knights, then you have perfectly fine 8th army (probably true for 9th as well).

>>46749271
Hmm I was gonna pick up some Skullcrushers next anyway.

I'll have a look. Is there any good way of using round bases in WHFB? I've seen some movement trays with round holes and stuff. I prefer the way round bases look, and I've been using my Mounted Daemonettes in 40k as well so they have magnetised bike bases but it's not ideal.

>>46749179

Share prices may not equal profit, but they can say a lot about a company's financial health.

Slav, you really are tiresome. Why don't you worry about real life, where your shitty country is becoming worse by the day?

>>46749311
While I agree that rounds look better, the issue with the trays for rounds is that you end up with a mich bigger unit footprint, as the diameter of a round base is bigger than the side of the equivalent square base.

>>46749591
I'm not a tournament player so an extra few cm for the unit footprint seems alright. I'll have to think about how best to do it.

>>46749636
Point out my "GW is Soaring" claim. I'm fully expecting them to do just as shit this year as last year, outside of Total War money.

I'm just saying that you're retarded if you're looking at share price as a sign of current year profits, when there hasn't been any information disclosed on current profits.

>>46749311
I knew a guy who attached his Daemons to washers and then put magnets round bases and used a magnetic sheet as a movement tray so he could freely move between 40k and WHFB

Alternatively, there's the old War of the Ring trays that had slots for round bases. That'll increase your unit's footprint though.

>>46749671
Yeah I just looked at the War of the Ring trays/equivalent. Looks good. I'll probably rebase everything to rounds eventually for consistency. Thanks :)

There is a company that does cardboard laser cut and I've seen quite a few people get bespoke trays. Wasn't too expensive either.

Another option that someone who ised that company showed, is to base everything in squares and THEN order round bases that fit the squares within. The best option imho.

>>46749946
Ooh that sounds interesting, which company is it do you remember?

Turns out its not a full line but metal upgrade parts for their normal skeletons.

Do WE warhawk riders have 2 attacks each since their profile states that they have a hand weapon and a spear
or is the handweapon supposed to be what the hawk itself uses

Last Chance stuff is back! Grab those sweet Bretonnians before scalpers do!

>>46750388
Extra attacks are only gained from hand-weapons if the model has TWO hand weapons. It's not like 40k where just about any two melee weapons will do.

>>46750388
All models have a hand weapon, you used to be able to choose between using your hand weapon or any other weapon you were equipped with but GW nixed that.

In this case the warhawk rider just used their spear, if they had a hand weapon and an additional hand weapon you would get an additional attack or in the case of magic weapons, two that counted as paired weapons.

Liar. I said that they are not very similar to Space Marines, that they are different but hare some superfical similarities. A point Lore Gav Thorpe, Josh Reynolds, and many other agree on.

I did not mention the Witcher at all.

> argues that Warriors of Chaos use the warp to travel for every campaign and are basically deep striking.

Another lie.

I just said that some WoC had the ability to travel through the Warp to their selected battlefields. I didn't say they do it all the time or that all of them can do it.

Even gave example (Valkia legion and Wulfrick).

You are a shameless liar. You disgust me. Please get out of this thread and never return.

Typical lancers (going off the 9th Age "Electoral Cavalry" as a base). Higher movement speed to represent the lightly armored Kislevite cavalry. However, depending on how much we want to speed up Ungol Horse Archers, it might be better to keep their movement at 8.

No, but they ally with him. Chaos manipulates them.

But greenskins, monsters, and Ogres cannot be controlled, and even Tzeentch has to avoid them whenever possible because he can't predict what they'll do.

They ally with everyone and backstab at random making them more chaotic than anything in Chaos, including Skaven.

Being slightly fair, the original WHFB was released around 1983. That's 33 years ago: Any of the Old Guard who were in their early to mid 30's at the time of its conceptualization (if not older) are well past the point of retirement, and even those who were a part of it in their early 20's are a mere decade-or-so away from that age. Them having phased out is to be expected.

Gods, this is a sobering thought: People who started playing some of the earlier editions of WHFB and D&D and whatnot when they were my age are now nearly old enough to retire. In another ~25 years it'll be the same for games like Dark Heresy and such.
