He looks like a mega man villain, but in a good way. Love that hammer

Can you tell me what parts are in this thing? I need it for, uh, reasons. ..

>>50169751
Well I had to represent the 4" move some way.

>>50169761
The main body is the gyrocopter kit. The legs are from the orks meganobs with some plasticard to cover the ork pants. The hands are from the cult mechanicus kastelan robots (I had to repose the fingers to point and grip the hammer). And a ton of other bits from my bits collection, which there are so many I can't name them all. Anything in white though is just plasticard.

>>50168693
whats the base model for that?

Should i get the slaves to darkness or khorne bloodhound starter set?

>>50171134
>khorne bloodhound starter set
Rumours say there will be a huge Khorne start collecting near Christmas.
You may want to wait and see, because the actual Start Collecting is not that good for them.
If you want the Bloodbound, there were bigger deals, like the "Warhammer Age of Sigmar Expansion: Khorne Bloodbound" and the half of the starter set.

>slaves to darkness or khorne bloodhound
I much rather prefer Slave of Darkness, because you can easily play different armies with the same pieces by taking different heroes and marks.

They have good heroes, but one day you can take the Bloodsecrator, or the Harbringer of Decay, or the mounted Lord of Slaanesh, etc. and they work.
A new cool hero came out for Chaos? You can probably take it and it will synchronize with your army.

I very much enjoy this kind of flexibility.

mfw getting these next week.
the new models belong in the trash

>>50168649
I think you should put him on a bigger base, that one looks a bit unsteady.
Plus it means you could decorate it a bit more to make him stand out even more.

>>50173443
I agree. I was considering going for the 50mm for a while, now I definitely will. Also I will do the base later. I paint the model while it's on the base, pop it off the base, do the base and paint it, then pin the model back on. So that's not done yet.

hello /tg/, i have 2 20% Discount codes for warhammer: total war, do you want them ?

Is this game dead again?

>>50172908
What price were they before coming off the webstore?

>>50172908
I'm thinking about getting them just for the easy shekels. But then I'm not so much a poorfag that I need to 'invest' in miniatures....

>>50173752

>>50173752

>>50173752
Game is alive.
Nothing new, so not much to speak about.

We don't even have Eldar and Tau to complain about nor the frustration of CSM and Dark Eldar that 40k general have, so... yeah, it's quiet.

A good kind of quiet.

Good day AoS general.

Looks pretty solid to me

What motivates you guys in making your armies? Is it the cool stories you make for them, the battle with your friends on weekends, or is it maybe that you want to show the guys at the store your newly painted dudes? Tell us Anons, what drives you forward in this hobby!

>>50175801
To me it's coming up with a cool theme, and that theme has to do with converting pretty much the entire army in some way. When i visualize that idea, I plan out the purchases, steps, and such. Then I leave it for a couple months. If the passion for it remains, then I start pulling the trigger on it.

>>50175801
My first army for AOS was Seraphon. I started collecting them because they look cool and I just wanted some cool miniatures to paint.

I started playing the game and really enjoyed the way the army plays.

I recently started my 2nd army, the Tomb Kings. I picked them because I like their aesthetic but primarily because their rules are amazing.

>>50175801
I like building a consistent army with a basic backstory to tie everyone together. Sometimes I'll try to amuse myself by thinking of what shenanigans must've happened to make them come together.

What this means in practice is that I have 2 armies with different themes coming from the same starting point - a ragtag warband.

One of these are dwarfs that can't go home and just accept into them any dwarf - Disposessed, Fyreslayer, Ironweld, doesn't matter - who don't have anywhere to go. These are the serious guys - they're sad about their dispossession and just pick fights with bad guys, which inevitably leads to them realising they can't win and running away.

My other one is a group of skeletons led by a boneheaded Wight King and his put-upon Necromancer who's the entire reason the army exists in the first place. This one's the silly army. They do stupid things, like trying to intervene in a battle between some lizardmen and beastmen and getting beat down for their trouble.

>>50177584
isnt getting tomb king models hard becasue they are all super overpriced because they are no longer made by gw

>>50178239
It's a huge pain in the ass but I have managed to get everything I need except Settra

any idea whats next for age of sigmar release wise. i heard dwarfs are next. whats after that onward through 2017

>>50178306
Tzeentch stuff and maybe some goblins, followed by Slaanesh and Aelves, according to the rumour mill.

The results of the Season of War will also figure into it.

>>50178390
tzeentch this year? or start of next?

>>50178422
No-one has any idea. That's the thing about rumours. Start of next is most likely though, what with the slow trickle of stuff AoS is getting being similar to what 40k got during the summer.

dang, iv been holding off buying aos stuff until tzeentch model came out. lord of change for life

I don't have too many places nearby that are deep in the warhammer scene, mostly the area's single GW store where every Saturday I've been there people have gotten together for huge battles of AoS. I never played old fantasy and didn't read the lore until after the end times, and while what I know of that impresses me a bit more, being still new to war gaming in general I am on the fence. How viable are armies made from the old Empire, High Elf and wood elf factions? Would square bases and ranks/formations have any use beyond aesthetics?

How do you remove the drm protection the novels have? I am using the Ice cream ebook reader and cant read anything because of the protection.

Is there also a Stormcast eternal painter?

>>50178479
start stocking up on tzaangors and kairic acolytes as much as you can from the WHQ box set. It is very likely those kits will not change when tzeentch gets their battletome

because when that happens, you can expect the ebay prices for them to go up when GW releases the official kits for like $50 for 5 models or something retarded. Then when the update comes, you will already have a decent sized force outside of a few new hero releases.

I posted this >>50174001 earlier and have a few toss ups I've been thinking of for it.

I haven't played much AoS yet and would love to hear how the Hell-Pit Abomination or Doomwheel would been for Matched play Objectives or fit into a Beastman infantry heavy list.

>>50178665
i kinda have started doing that but i hate having all my models in the same pose for some reason, got 8x acolytes, 6x tzaangors and ogroid. im actually building them as we speak

>>50178904
Hellpit is very underwhelming. I think it should cost 240 or 260, not worth 300 points imo

>>50178916
again, the kits will likely not change at all when they get their own release in their own boxes, because the sprues already come with a healthy mix of options that seem common on modern warscrolls. so I wouldnt hold out hoping for tzaangor or kairik kits with different poses

>>50179054
well desu i think the sprues will change but the overall look wont, take bloodreavers for example. completely different from box set than the separate version.

also box games version usually have most of the model on one sprue but the bloodreaver box by it self is legs, arms, head etc

>>50178968
looking at the rules again, I would have to agree on that. The Doomwheel seems nice as a objective seeker/distraction carnifax.

I'm kicking myself for finishing a Ghorgon model a few months ago, and don't really need a second one just for this.

>>50179054
man even basic space marine they do tha
>>50179092

>>50179092
the difference between the starter set kits and the new releases was the starter kits had only one option for bits.

The silver tower sprues are like official release kits with multiple weapon options, which is akin to a box set of any other kit.

also note, the silver tower hero sprues didnt change at all when they got their own reboxings.

The kits will likely not change.

>>50179112
desu the silver tower karic and tzaangors do not have multiple weapons, it really is one way. if u were to change it you would need greenstuff. the weapons are attached to arms that only fit a certain torso

>>50179197

I see what you did there.

I do wish Deathrattle had more.

>>50179112
There is a difference between snapfit (of which all heroes and all silver tower and starter models) and posable multi kit. Even if the subject is the same the actual models are light years.

>>50179541
I also want Death to have more variety.

I've since added some zombies to the list, fluffing them as training for the Necromancer (that he doesn't need) and I caught myself wondering why the Zombie Dragon isn't part of the Deadwalkers. I mean, it is a zombie, right? So why isn't it in the zombie faction?

>>50177788
>>50179541

I like the idea of a Skeleton army that is basically a pack of Saturday Morning Cartoon villains.

Whenever you play them you need to do your best skeletor voice and talk for the Wight King, and make up stupid reasons why you are trying to capture the objectives in the first place.

>>50182563

Alright guys, not sure if this is the right place to ask but fuck it. Me and a buddy of mine are interested in getting into warhammer, specifically age of sigmar. But we have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHERE TO START. Whats the difference between warhammer, age of sig, and 40k? What do I need bare minimum to start playing? I saw "starter packs" for different factions, are those worth getting?

It's a Host of Slaanesh, of the Seekers kind.

As so, we are trying to find Slaanesh, with very good results (I have won a narrative campaign and most games until now).
While doing so, we are basically killing and pillaging every village on our way.
Right now an unlikely alliance of Tzeentch followers, chaos barbarian and elves is coming together to stop us (apparently Arcanites don't like when people pillage their sacred temples in search of clues and treasures, and asked the Elves and Barbarian, the main victims of our pillaging frenzy, to come out with a plan together).

Well see how it goes, it will probably be a series of very hard battles.

My Host is guided by Madame Hebess the Opulent, which is one of the few remaining PleasureSeekers from the Old Days, which promote herself as Herald and Leader.

She's ruthless and, as the name suggest, very greedy.

I don't have a good name for the Host yet, maybe you can help me.

>>50183392
Oh ill be there. Plane, event, and hotel tickets are paid for and everything.

>>50184354
>Whats the difference between warhammer, age of sig, and 40k
Age of Sigmar is the sequel (both in story and for real) of Warhammer Fantasy Battle, which was the now defunct game which started it all.
Age of Sigmar is relatively new, and while they are basically the same setting, they are very different games.
Age of Sigmar is a very simple but not as stupid as it may look. It's also a skirmish game (every miniature move and act independently with some restrictions), while WHFB was played on regiments, which act as a coherent unit.
That why you see some miniature on square bases; they are from the old day.

40k is a completely different setting and game, which has some element in common with fantasy (mostly the Chaos. Fantasy and 40k have the same idea of Chaos, the same Gods, etc).
40k is by far the most popular for the setting and the miniatures, but the game is in a bad shape right now, and it's expecting a reboot next year.

>What do I need bare minimum to start playing?
In Age of Sigmar there is no real minimum (there is a starting kit for 2 players with 13 miniatures for example).
You can play with as many miniatures as you like, but in general the starter pack size is where you want to start.

>I saw "starter packs" for different factions, are those worth getting?
Absolutely yes. Those are good deals.
If you like Khorne Bloodbound and Stormcasts, there are other boxes that are even better deal, but that doesn't make the start collecting less of a deal.

>>50184480
>It's also a skirmish game (every miniature move and act independently with some restrictions),
WTF are you talking about? AoS is not a skirmish game. Models still move in units. Also calling it a skirmish game is misleading. It can scale down to just a few units and a hero, but it also is commonly played with big armies.

>>50184480
Awesome! Really appreciate the help, thanks! Do I need to own the rulebook for whichever faction I choose? And are there limits/requirements for how many units I can have?

Does the Warhammer Terrain have any extra rules other than the mysterious terrain rolls and proving -1 to hit from shooting if inside?

>>50184540
The only book you really should own is the General's Handbook. It's cheap ($25 us) and an awesome resource even if you are not interested in matched play. We can't recommend it enough. The other books, like the battletomes are kinda optional, but handy resources for fluff and some other army building options.

>>50184369
Awesome fluff Anon. I am not good at naming Slaneesh stuff but i'll give it a shot.

Here are some example:
>Host of the frenzied spirits
>Host of Eternal Glory
>Followers of the Madame
>Seekers of the true god

>>50184524
Uhm... let me rephrase that.

In Age of Sigmar, each unit is composed of multiple models that act together and need to stay in coherency but are considered independently for moving, LoS, etc.

In WHFB you have a brick on the field composed of multiple models but which is essentially a single object.

>>50184566
Yes, look in the AoS app under the scenery warscrolls

>>50184567
Ahhh ok. Ill pick that and a starter pack up!

>>50184354
Differences
>40k
More complex, there's alot of tables to memorize. The games large amount of rules lends itself to more "tactics" (there's more things every player can do and slot of units have army wide special rules, as far as being strategic with it that's on you). The factions are cool although space marines reign supreme. The 40k general will tell you all balance is shit and your favorite army is ass. This is untrue unless you want to be a hyper competitive WAAC player.

>Sigmar
Fairly new, plenty of factions (I THINK more than 40k but I'm not sure). The rules are simpler (4pages vs 100+) and each units special rules are defined on its war scroll. Less "tactical" in the sense that guys either punch or shoot and are relegated to 5 basic unit types (monster, leader, infantry, cav, artillery). Most of sigmars tactical depth comes from the combat phase, where finnegaling pile in moves and strategic death play a big factor.

What do you need?
Ruler/tape measure, dice (D6), flat space and a friend. If you want to do 40k templates and terrain (they can be stacks of cds or full on models).

The starter boxes (start collecting I'm assuming ) are great values and give a quick force to most armies. They usually come with your basic troop plus some flashy stuff to sink your teeth into.

The actual starter sets are a great value for two players, giving you both a decent force as well as dice and measuring sticks. I believe the 40k also includes templates and rules.


Be warned, this activity is 80% building and painting. If you just want to play, you won't get nearly as many games as you might think.

>>50184574
>Followers of the Madame
Well, this gave me an idea.

Since the leader is a Madame, the host could be like "Courtesans of ...".

To keep it in that high-class victorian era style Slaanesh have.

>>50184147
Probably give extra distances to charging, if you roll doubles the unit takes d3 mortal wounds

>>50184674
Courtesans of lust. ?

>>50184645
>The 40k general will tell you all balance is shit and your favorite army is ass. This is untrue unless you want to be a hyper competitive WAAC player.

I don't agree much with this. 40k balance is so much shit that if two new players pick armies based on how they look there are good chances that one of them would curbstomp the others every game. Absurdly you need to be extremely good with the game and know every unit to be able to make a balanced game.

>>50184909
I'm going from personal experience but lgs has a bit of everything. I play tau and skittles, slot of guys play SM, a few orks, 2 csm, and almost everyone has 1k points of nids lying about . As long as none of us go full on tryhard (riptide wings, grav spam, eldar everything, etc) even the "low tier" codexes and the like pull out wins. Granted they do less than my tau, but I don't think anyone ever feels slighted after a game.


Maybe I should add, game balance is determined more by your community than the codex?

>>50184645
Awesome, thanks for the advice!

Yo, /aosg/. I finally gave in and decided to start AoS, since of the other three games played at the lgs, 40k is going to shit, Warmahordes has an awful playerbase and I'll be fucked if I ever play MtG again. Now, my love for greenskins made picking an army easy, though I decided to start from the ground up with a new army instead of using my old WHFB orcs&goblins.
Now, reading up a little, I don't want any of those Ironjaw assholes. Bunch of elitist jerks. Regular orcs is where it's at. Are basic orcs even viable. Not OP or anything (though I really doubt that'd ever be the case), just playable at a reasonable level without allies or such.

That said, here's the thing: Everybody at the store has an unique character as general, with background and all. Obviously I will need something like that as well, so how's this fora basic idea for fluff: My warboss thinks Ironjaws and their cronies are a bunch of posers that aren't even proper orcy and need to be shown how it's really done. So he wants to show them up as often and as much as possible. Doesn't matter how. Reasonable?

Also, since I will need a proper custom warboss, I've had my eye on pic related. with a spare head, an axe and some armor, like pauldrons, he should look the part of a savage brute, I hope, though I have no idea what to put unto the hand instead of that piece of brickwork. Maybe a squig, like he's attempting to bowl with it? Or a morning star/wrecking ball with the chain leading to the other hand?

Anyway, I'd be grateful for any ideas, recommendations, whatever.

>>50193332
Sounds pretty cool and orcy, anon

>>50193332
I think you might like the Bonesplitterz (Savage Orcs, in case you didn't know) as enmity with the Ironjawz is apparently a thing with them. It isn't universal, some of them will work with those snobs, but mostly they just want to do their own thing (that being monster-hunting) without being bossed around by some git dat wears armour like he finks warpaint ain't gud enuff!

>>50193785
The only issue is that regular green skins don't synergize super well with Bonesplitterz. I'd reccomend a main force of either faction, and some units from the other, but going half and half wouldn't work. Of course, I'm thinking in terms of a fairly competitive list, if you just want to have fun, which it sounds like you do, then yeah combining bonesplitterz and greenskins, in any way you want, sounds cool.

Is there any AoS equivalent to Kill team? I can't be bothered with making a massive army. I've browsed the AoS rules, seems like you can have a small or big fight? But how does that impact on the fun?

so do i need a codex along with the slaves to darkness set? or is that only for 40k?

>>50194456
All the rules are free on the AoS app

>>50194473
neat, i always enjoyed reading through the codex for fluff, does it include that or is it strictly rules?

>>50194537
aos has Battletomes which are like a codex

Battletomes have fluff, unit rules (you can find those in the app for free), and Battalions (Formations)

The newer Battletomes also have unique spells, magic items, command abilities, and faction traits you can use as well

Battletomes are for people that want to really double down on a specific faction

So how exactly does army setup work? It says my army can be as big as i like. Does that mean i can have more units than my opponent? Is there a downside to bigger armies? It doesnt seem fair, what am i missing here?

The idea is you agree to be fair and not be a cunt.
For those that struggle with not being a cunt, or simply prefer a more traditional method of building an army, there is the Generals Handbook, which has a points system and some more rules to restrict some other things.

Also, there is a downside to bigger armies. Read the rules, there is a section on Sudden Death. Also the person who finishes deploying first chooses who goes first.

>>50195466
No, that seems to cover pretty much all my questions. Many thanks anon

So I'm completely new to the hobby and I picked up a Start Collecting: Slaves to Darkness box the other day. I finished assembling all my Warriors of Chaos, then bought another box of them because they look cool and I'm having fun painting them.

What else do I need at a minimum to play without having badwrongfun? Where can I learn about different customization and army composition options so I can learn strategy rather than just charging forward and chucking dice?

Do I need to paint my miniatures any specific way? Will I be laughed out of my LGS if I show up and I did a shit job or used the wrong colors?

>>50198555
>Where can I learn about different customization and army composition options so I can learn strategy rather than just charging forward and chucking dice?

You're playing the wrong game, friendo. This game is pretty much about charging forward and chucking dice. Go play Warmachine if you want strategy and shit

>>50199030
I intend to play both games, this is the kind of stuff I'm trying to learn.

> This game is pretty much about charging forward and chucking dice

So what makes one unit better to use than another? Is it just muh aesthetics or ...?

>>50198555
Don't listen to >>50199030, he's a moron.
Start Collecting is a perfectly reasonable start. You might want to pick up a chaos lord at some point, since you want a Command Ability other than Inspiring Presence, but as is you're well off.
>Short overview of your stuff:
The sorcerer is aces and has one of the best spells in the game on top of a sweet support ability. He'll be your best friend for a while, so protect him accordingly.
Warriors are your line troopers. They have a bunch of nice options (I am partial to sword'n'board, but all are solid) and can be relied on to do much of the heavy lifting.
The chariot can be assembled two ways, horses or gorebeast. Gorebeast is the superior choice for most situations, but it's slower, so if you want to go cavalry-heavy, consider horses instead. An exalted charioteer with greatblade is really fucking nasty either way.
Knights are your troubleshooters and flankers. They excel at hammering shit your warriors have engaged, but can also do assassination or warmachine hunting in a pinch.

There are a bunch of youtubers that do battle reports, so you could watch those. Or just look through the rules and warscrolls to figure out synergies on your own. It's a fairly straightforward process since the rules are easy to pick up. I guess you could also look at the tactic pages on 1d4chan, though some of those are in dire need of an overhaul.

As long as your stuff is reasonably painted, no one cares. No-one gives a shit about proper regimental colors or somesuch.

>>50199142
>So what makes one unit better to use than another?

You have the warscrolls right? they are all free on the GW website

E.g: Marauders are shitty basic melee troops, but you get like 10 for low points, warriors are middle range and kind of tough with 2 wounds, chosen are like elite versions of warriors with powerful weapons and 2 wounds, but you pay lots of points for 5 of them, etc

The best way to figure it out is really just visit your local gw and get a beginners game with whatever models you own, even if it's unpainted that's fine.

Can't decide how to paint my Sylvaneth

>>50199467
Dryad bark, dark wash, Gorthor brown, balor brown on the edges

Don't do them in a winter style, snow looks shit and most gaming tables aren't snow themed

>>50199142
>This game is pretty much about charging forward and chucking dice
is pretty much bullshit unless you play on a perfectly flat table without mages, ranged troops and warmachines.
Read the rules for the game, then read the warscrolls for your units (App, webstore, Grand Alliance books, all the shit in the OP; pick your poison). Play some small games, watch some battlereports, lurk a little here, it'll come to you soon enough.

>>50199467
I found it helpful to first pick a season and then work out the specific scheme from there. Alternatively you could pick a Realm and make a scheme themed around that. Like charred trees for Fire, or spooky trees for Shadow.

>>50199531
I was thinking about spooky trees, I guess that would be a fall theme? Is there any guides about a spooky sylvaneth paint scheme?

>>50199555
Not necessarily. You could do a dead tree or even spectral tree theme.

So the rumor is the dwarf team will go on sale a month or so after blood bowl (about $25). Look at these bearded badass motherfuckers. I must use them for AoS, but for what?

Played a pretty kick ass game of Sylvaneth vs Moonclan grots. My grots lost to what was left of their dryads and a treelord ancient, but it was pretty close. I managed to snipe their branchwych with my warboss with prodder and squig. The warboss then went three rounds against the ancient before becoming fertilizer.

Then the shop owner brought out his treelord to show us both. I snapped a few shots of it

Check if there are old Fantasy Players around, people that quit back at the end of the golden age.

Those are people that left when the game degenerate, still have an army or more, but are now with career and family and aren't into complex games anymore (like 9th era) because they haven't played in years, don't have the energy to do it nor want to relive the experience of such stressful game/community.

When I started AoS in my place, those were the first people I looked into. They loved it.

Add a couple of Daemon players, which can switch between the two settings, which then spread the word into 40k players, and now I have a healthy community.

I hope there will be a way to make Prosecutors Battleline in the future. An army of nothing but winged stormcast would look amazing. Maybe have it conditional on a Knight-Azyros being general? That would at least give more of a reason to actually run the fucker.

>>50205006

The problem is that this shop is pretty new (about a year), and so are the majority of people there. Afaik, I'm the only. Person who has bought stock there, except for a single box of something from someone I've only seen once.

I'm actually worried that the owner probably shouldn't have bought into the stock.

>>50205083
Oh, you meant what to count them as? Miners, I'd say. Their pseudo-deep strike would fit, they punch reasonably hard. in melee and they have those blasting charges to represent the bombs,

>The Rotbark Wetlands
Risgat's home turf, here he and his army can dedicate themselves to Nurgle by doing foul rituals in the swamp. At the center of the swamp lies his keep where he keeps his spoils of war and other foul things.

>The River Road
Once a major highway for the nearby kingdoms, now it is barley used by the free peoples. Once in a while caravans take this route in order to get to nearby towns and kingdoms, but not all return due to raids from both the Rotbark wetlands and from the beastmen in the Ash Woodlands.

>Troggoth Creek
A tribe of fellwater Troggoths reside here, they often keep to themselves and work as a good barrier in one of Risgat's more undefended parts of his domain

>Spider peak
This lonley mountain is infested by spiders of various sizes. Normally they aren't bothering anyone, but recently a group of Spiderfang grots have begun to use to the spiders to harass Risgat's watchtowers and other travellers along the River Road.

Did anyone realise that the vortex and the woods now have a points cost?

>>50205901
>Sylvaneth Wyldwoods cost 0
points in an army that has the
Sylvanethallegiance.

It changes basically nothing

>>50205901
I hadn't, but that is actually a huge buff for Sylvaneth. Free Wyldwoods without limit is enormous.

>>50205964
You still need a way to place them on the board. It basically changed nothing for Sylvaneth armies, but now mixed order armies can't take a treelord Ancient and have him summon woods wihtout reserving points.

Do your guys have a theme song?
I use this a the "theme" for my Stormcast Chaimber that I have named "Sigmars Thunderbirds"
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQYN2P3E06s

I still have to come up with a good colour scheme fitting both the name and the song I have chosen for them. Any ideas would be nice.

>>50172621
Looks great anon. Well done

>>50205999
You can just place them down with your army, can't you? I mean, that would mean at least your deployment zone would be nothing but wildwoods, barring other terrain in there.

>>50206311
Except for the obvious "because otherwise the Sylvaneth players is going to play with the entirety of his deployment zone composed of Wyldwoods" because they don't have a Grand Allegiance Keyword and so they can't be taken in an army list, you simply use your reserve points to summon them.

>>50206773
Ah, good point. I would have thought the wildwoods had the Sylvaneth keyword, but since they don't that's perfectly fine.

So, long time Fantasy player, abandoned it because of Age of Sigmar.

I'm gonna go ahead, download General's handbook and give it a whirl. Why not, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

My question is this. How balanced is it? Legitimate or did GW just randomly assigned points and call it a day?

>>50207741
Pretty balanced, overall. There is some shit here and there that is out of whack, but in general it works out well. The most egregious example would be that summoners in general tend to be overcosted, since they were nerfed harshly with the GHB.
Though you can chalk up the points mostly to the tournament guys that helped GW with the book, I assume.

>>50207741
It's pretty legit, if I'm honest. As someone who railed against AoS for so long, I've bought the General's Handbook and it looks like they took some time balancing things around. I'm still salty over the Old World, but if they take their time and build up some fluff that references it I could see myself being as into it as I am 40k.

Oh, and the ability to cross over the stuff from the Compendium pdfs on the GW website with what's in the books is great for personalising your guys. I'm already looking at converting a bone giant (Gargant?) from the Tomb Kings PDF into a Death army entirely made of skeletons and Necromancers.

Balance isn't perfect, but it's in the ballpark. The system is derived from tournament systems created by the community, primarily the South Coast GT. GW was also confident enough in the system to announce a new official Warhammer GT in the UK.

>>50208530
>>50208530
Assuming it's real (and it seems real enough), the box art gives a good indication of what would be in it, since the last box was also on point.

Stormcast Eternals:
- Wizard or something
- Knight-Vexilor
- Judicators
- Prosecuors (or a winged hero)
- Liberators

Champions of Change:
- wizard? (the guy with the same wavy dagger the Gaunt Summoners carry)
- Screamers
- Horrors
- guy on Disc
- warriors? (the two prominent multi-armed guys in front)

Fuck me I went on GWs site before after not having been in the hobby for a few years and what the fuck has happened. What happened to Fantasy? Why are all the armies broken up now? Has the playstyle completely changed? I spent my childhood playing that game and it looks ruined. Am I wrong?

I own a fairly sizeable sigmarine army. I enjoy them, though most people in the /aosg/ are probably sick of seeing them by now.
They are all paladins and heroes, down to the lowliest grunt, they face fairly dire consequences despite being somewhat immortal and they are unreservedly on the side of good.
And they look awesome, though I understand that that's a controversial issue.

Depends on the scenario and if you feel like popping up a unit of skellybones or morghasts behind enemy lines to crack their war machines and mages.

>>50212449

Yeah because an army of copy-paste emotionless faceless golden statues who can never die is really interesting

The most bland autistic power-fantasy ever, but that suits you doesn't it

>>50212795
See, the good thing about a statue is you can customise them how you want right down to their Aesthetics.

I currently have the starter set I am in the process of converting to be Norse themed Einherjar.

You claim the Empire was "Interesting" but at the same time take pride on their uselessness.

Which is it?

>>50212681
>90% of players just used Historical Standins and literally did not care one iota about the actual Empire.

To be fair to Empire players who used standins the latest line of plastic Empire soldiers were complete shit (save for a few kits like the Demigryph Knights and Archers).

And I would dispute the idea that using standins means you don't care about the Empire (????). People used them to play the Empire army in the game of WHFB, they weren't running out to play historical or whatever.

>>50212751

Different guy.

Is it worth it for Sylvaneth? Seems like they have a ton of stuff to summon strands, but only Dryads. Wouldn't I just want to take Dryads?

>>50211862
I love them. On the surface they seem like space Marine knockoffs, but upon study of their lore and closer inspection, they are actually pretty cool.

>>50212901
Were you here When the Demigryphs were released?

People brewed up an autistic shitfit because the Empire was getting more fantastical Elements.

Except those Elements were based on the Wizard College and the Imperial Zoo, so they fit the Empire perfectly.

>>50212950

You have to go deeper.

Explain what is cool about their lore

>>50210250
>>50210318
>>50211381

No troll. I played a but of 4th. mainly 5th then 6th. When 7th came out I wasn't playing much and stopped by 8.To be fair 8 was the end. How does it fix it?

>>50212952

Yeah I know a lot of those new kits got shit on hard.

For what's it worth I like them.

>>50212981
I like them because they're basically Einherjar. And as much as we have Viking expys, we never really have Einherjar show up in fantasy settings.

Stormcast a VERY MUCH Human under the armor, they're just heroic ones given a chance to punch evil in the taint.

You rarely have good guys in Wargames nowadays.

>>50213014
The Demigryphs literally hit every nail on the head for the Empire Aesthetics and still got shit on.

>>50212981
I'm on my phone so I don't want to toe that our completely. But I love their mortality and they actually do fear death, because each death takes a part of their soul. Imagine knowing you will lose your memories and personality, like getting Alzheimer's or something. That terrifies me. And yet they do it. Also they are not emotionless brainwashed golems. They are mortal bodies, so they die like mortals. They retain the memories of their past life, so they know why they are fighting and have emotion about it. These things among many many others are reasons I think they're really cool.

>>50212116
The sad thing is that I can't sincerely tell if this is him or a sarcastica anon.

Do you actually know anything about Stormcast Eternals?

>>50212413
You know. Your can still play as regular humans? Just look at the freeguild faction.

>>50213267
I shake my head when people whine that the sce are the only option for humans in this game

>>50213351
I don't think anyone's said that. It's just that the Stormcast are so heavily promoted that it's extremely rare to see any of the more interesting human forces. They don't sell them in stores, either.

>>50213410

This right here

>>50213351
It's not even like sigmarines are the besthuman force. Freeguild are overall better on the field, at the cost of some options.

>>50212905
I guess. Summoning is most useful for Death and Seraphon because of the diversity.

>>50213016
Well not only human, but other races as well. One of the lord celestants in their battletome was a dwarf

>>50212905
Summoning is almost completely worthless for the Sylvaneth.

Summoning has 3 advantages in pitched play. These are:
1) Being able to deploy a unit in an irregular position, instead of with the rest of the army.
2) Being able to write your army list during the game. Pick what units fits the battle best.
3) Bypassing unit type restrictions. You can have all the behemoths you want, as long as you have the points for them.

The Sylvaneth get no benefit from rule 1, seeing as their summon spell needs to be used on some woods. You have to pay for a unit of 10 Dryads no matter how many you get (unless you roll 11 or 12, then you have to either pay for 10 and use 10, or pay for 20 and use 11 or 12). This means 90% of the times you summon, you will be paying for more than what you are getting.
The Sylvaneth can deploy any unit they want off the board, and deploy them through woods whenever they want, and it is more reliable than summoning. So this makes any positional advantage from summoning pointless, as you have better ways to do it.

The Sylvaneths only normal summon spell is for Dryads, so no on the fly list building for you.
Alarielle has an ability that can summon a Treelord, but that requires a lot of luck. You should not depend on it.

>>50213904
Aren't there undead Stormcast Eternals too?

>>50211862

I collect ironjawz but i do like the stormcast. Once i look beyond the whole hurr its just space marines in fantasy. I am tired of GW shoving them down our throats with them being in every fucking release, with this leak looking like its got them in it again. Other armies need fleshed out and i hope they dont just focus on them like they do with space marines in 40k.

>>50215232
No, but one is more to be from the realm of shyish

>>50215451
What? Are you referring to the Lord-Relictor, or the Anvils of the Heldenhammer, or are you talking about what Nagash may do with the aforementioned Stormhost?

>>50182779

I can't help but picture your necromancer and skelly lord as sir digby chicken Caesar and his adjutant ginger.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f475kI-YPtY

>>50211862
Depends. I like 'em, but normie humans need more love before I'd be willing to admit it in most circles.

>>50212117
The clan Skryre battalion is a wierd one. You need an archwarlock and two subbattalions, chosen from gautfyre, the poison wind one, the doomflayer/wheel one, the ratling gun/jezzail one, and the Warplightning cannon. Each subbattalion requires an engineer and a few things that are specific to itself. I don't have the pictures on my phone.

>>50217044
It's not really all that weird
It's literally just the Skyre equivalent of the Ironjawz mega battallion, except for some reason they elected to not split this one up

>>50211470
Select point size of battle
Create army using reference material, such as General's handbook or a online system.
Play Age of Sigmar

>>50211470
General's handbook is the answer to all that ails ya. It makes sigmar... decent, at the very least.

I also fixes the cancer of 40k's free formations. Batscroll Batallions cost points, just like units. And you don't need to roll for warlord trait.

You don't have to roll for the defining feature of your general, because you can choose it yourself, make him one of your dudes.

This is so beautiful, I'm nearly crying.

Fuck rolling for walord traits, psychic powers and other bullshit like that.

Two simple(and retarded questions as i am rushing to assemble my last 10 spearmen before my first 1.1 ed AoS battle) What buffs did Banners and Muscians provide and did they replace existing weapons(An handgunner grabbing a banner per example)

>>50217823
>What buffs did Banners and Muscians provide
Read the relevant warscroll

>and did they replace existing weapons(An handgunner grabbing a banner per example)
No. Your Standard Bearer and Musician still count as being armed with the normal weapons of the unit.

>>50217823
1. Banners and Musicians provide the benefits mentioned on their warscroll (fancy name for their rules page).

2. They do not replace the weapons and equipment that the rest of the unit has unless it says so on their warscroll, but that almost never happens. In my experience, it IS never, but I'd like to account for anything that I've forgotten.

>>50172604

Neat, and this brings me straight to my question.

What would books of battle priests contain? Im kinda wanting to make one as a prop, and i figured might as well print out some stuff and bind it into a book.

>>50168649

I don't.

They are needlessly bulky, justify way too much with "it's magic" (a problem shared with aos as a whole here), are overly blocky and regular and try too hard to look like space marines while failing to have enough roots in the more fundamental concepts of the knight/paladin.

and most of them don't have capes, when will GW remember capes are awesome to make people look imposing? fuck those gayass pauldrons.

>>50212998

GW decided to listen to the crowd on how unbalanced the game was, and gave the power of creating that balance to the players themselves.
It failed miserably, and all those whining neckbeards who cried about balance back in earlier editions brought everything but the kitchen sink to the table!
The Generals handbook is almost like a "how to play fair for dummies", but is far more than a book with points. This game is now a scenario driven game which builds on the idea that you and your friend/friends, creates a deep setting and plays from there. Scenarios often tells you how its meant to be played as well as a story behind why you are there.

I got in when the Generals hit the grid, but quickly realized this isn't a game that needs points (at least not if you play with friends!).

do you guys think when/if they bring back tomb kings they will just start selling some of the old miniatures again like the necrosphinx, it was already plastic and looked good

>>50218354
Perhaps, recent AoS factions have tended to reuse older models even when they're something kinda new with like Sylvaneth or Ironjaws. Entirely depends on what/if they plan to do with TK.

>>50218000
I'd imagine they'd be full of various hymns and prayers

>>50218073
100 points seems to steep. And Sylvaneth get free Wyldwood even in Pitched Play? I've seen that OP shit been cast like crazy and they can do it for free?

Wyldwoods don't have the Sylvaneth keyword, so no, you can't.
Though you can have an infinite summoning pool of Wyldwoods.

But I want Sylvaneth and Skaven______ starter set

What can i use Empire Knightly Order minis as in AoS order book?

What are elves called now in AoS? I stick to 40/30k and all of the renaming has confused the shit out of me - one of my friends likes elves and stuff, so for christmas I want to buy and paint something related to them for her, any ideas?

>>50220277
Knightly orders. Legacy warscrolls are perfectly legal to use, you know.

>>50220381
Aelves, but there haven't been any new releases for any of them as of now.

>>50220429
No points cost for said Knights though.

>>50220646
What? Of course there are, they are in the GHB, like everything else.

So im gonna buy the death eater court starter pack today and just dive headfirst into this hobby. What kind of glue should I use? What color primer should I use? Any tips on layering and when to use washes?

>>50220881
Any miniature glue is fine.
When in doubt, prime white.
Don't try anything too fancy at the beginning when it comes to layers.
Washes are your best friend.

>>50220928
Now im pretty bad at painting in general too. It should be uniform primer on entire figure. Then base paint of primary color on different main sections. Then what?

>>50221111
Also do I thin the primer and base paint?

>>50221132
Thin layer and base paints. That's the only paints that need thinning.

>>50221111
Then you start adding layers.
But, seriously, watch a youtube tutorial. There are a ton out there, and most are good enough for a starter, especially since they will be more clear than whatever we type here when it comes to offering advice.

Im looking through the citadel paints at my flgs, but i dont see any that say primer. What should i be looking for?

>>50221431
Imperial Primer is the GW primer in a pot, but you're better off with a spray.
