Armies?
We have more than the dude doing Roman Khornates?

Not an AoS player but the new Twitch coverage is pretty good.

>>50520152
is it? havent checked it out. The subscription fee is chasing me away, that's money that could be going toward buying shit

>>50517159
It's alright to use the oldest Archaon with the old Archaon rules because they both have the same mount, unlike the newest Archaon. None of the three Nagashes has a mount.

Hey anons, can I get some help with my Bretonnians? I have a game tomorrow against some Clan Pestilens that I've been having trouble beating. Here is my list:

2000 Points

King Louey: 400 (Leader)

Damsel: 100 (Leader, Horse)

Paladin Standard Bearer(Leader, Phoenix Stone)

Knights of the Realm: 440 (16 models, Battleline, Banner, Musician)

Knights Errant: 200 (8 models, Battleline, Banner, Musician)

Men-at-arms: 120 (16 models, Battleline, Banner, Musician, Relic)

Grail Knights: 180 (5 models, Banner, Musician)

Peasant Bowmen: 400 (32 models, Banner, Musician, Braziers, Stakes)

What do you think of these battle traits for the armies that had battletomes before the GHB came out

Stormcast:
Lightning Strike
Instead of setting up a unit from your army on the battlefield, you can place it to one side and say that it is set up in the Celestial Realm. In any of your movement phases you can transport the unit to the battlefield. When you do so, set it up on the battlefield more than 12" from enemy models. This is its move for that movement phase.

Seraphon:
Celestial Insight
In your hero phase roll 6 dice. If you have a Slann you can re-roll these results. For each roll of 4 or higher, gain an Insight into the future. Each Insight can be used to re-roll any single dice before your next hero phase.

Khorne Bloodbound: Bloodlust
All units in this army must charge if there is an enemy unit within 12", even if they ran in the previous movement phase.

Tomb Kings: Hierophant
One Liche Priest in your army can be upgraded to a Hierophant. A Hierophant can cast 1 more spell per turn and adds 1 to their casting and unbinding rolls.

>>50521086
Go for either formation. This list is ok, just remember that the charge is the most important part of playing Bretonnians. Consider a trebuchet as well. There is nothing wrong with 48 inch range, auto hitting anything with more than 6 models.

>>50520143
I'm doing kinda celtic skellybones.

>>50523283
I see some issues with these but i like your thinking, i really cant wait for GW to update allt he battletomes.

>Stormcast
A lot of the battalions grant Lightning strike, sso this seems like a bit of a waste. I see where this would be useful but I dont think its really enough. How about units that lightning strike within 3" of a friendly SC hero are imbued with Azyric Lightning. Those units may reroll hit and wounds of 1 the turn they strike?

>Seraphon
I like it because I like seraphon, but i feel like that might be a bit strong. Im not sure what I would change it for however, I always thought the slann giving orders like 40k's Imperial guard would be cool.

>KBB
Awesome, i really like this one

>Tomb Kings
Havent played any tomb kings but this sounds quite powerful.

I really want skaven to get their update

Skaven: Kill-Kill EVERYTHINGS!

All skaven units can re-roll 1 dice per turn, however if the re-roll result is the same as the original roll, that unit suffers d3 mortal wounds.

Of course the first Advent story is Khorne

>>50520074
Im guessing after the initial poor release AoS is picking up? Seems ok after seeing a few threads.

Are night goblins and fanatics/squigs still in and do they play any part in fluff or is it all about Orruks now?

>>50525131
I feel like SC *really* need that general deepstrike, since the batallions that commonly have it are fairly limiting.
If I had a say, I'd replace the deepstrike of the formations with some other buff, like "reroll 3d6, discard lowest to charge", and make the regular Lighning Strike the first allegiance ability.
Also, Extremis allegiance makes Dracothian Guard Battleline.

>>50525870
Night goblins are still around (and quite nasty); they're called Moonclan now, but are otherwise the same as they've always been. No real focus on them yet, but it's bound to happen eventually.

>>50520609
>subscription fee
?

>>50525984
Nice! Glad they kept them around, I am not really liking the new Orruk armour look, looks too warcrafty.

>>50526013
That's only one subfaction, basically Black Orcs expanded out to be an entire army. For exmaple Savage Orcs, Bonesplitterz Orruks now, look the same.

>>50526013
Normal Orcs (Orruks) are still playable, and more balanced than Ironjawz. While not as strong in melee or as 'ard, they are cheaper and have more versatility (ie, they actually have ranged options).

>>50523283
If you play with the big TK battallion, you get a hierophant though.

>>50520609
What subscription fee?

So what goes into a decent seraphon list? I was thinking a solid core of guard, how many would I need in 2k?

I've not been following AoS for the last month or so due to excessive overtime and hype over beautiful new Thousand Sons models

Is there any indication that the four new Battle Force boxes will have matched play ready warscroll battalions with points values? Otherwise it's going to be tough to find a place for the Gargant in an Ironjawz list without adding another faction for battle line units.

If not maybe Generals Handbook V2 will include points values for the start collecting and battle force battalions.

>>50527701
Maybe, but matched play is not everything, and I think GW is using box battallions to remind people of that.

>>50527701
I'm actually really hoping its a formation with the points cost listed on it. It is really weird tthat there is a gargant in there, becuase its an awesome box otherwise.

Remember we're like at least a year or more off GBH V2.

>>50527885
Yeah I still enjoy pickup games with Freeplay, and I would love to do a narrative campaign, but the GH bonuses for matched play are so helpful for my Iron jaws who knows maybe the Thunderfist will make up for the loss of Rampaging Destroyer.

I'll probably still tell my wife to get one for me for Christmas. The value is too good to pass on. And I think it would be fun to nail some dented up scraps of armor to a Gargant to bring him more in line with the rest of the range.

What's happened with Hashut after End of Times?

>>50527952
Nobody knows, there is no mention in lore.

>>50527952
FW lore is essentially forgotton desu, even the chaos dwarves got a halfassed deal.

>>50527951
You can do a narrative campaign using the GH points, i can't relaly think of a reason not to use the pointts and bonuses in any situation.

>>50527952
Nothing. Hasut made it to AoS, though. He is mentioned in the latest campaign book.

>>50527988
>>50527995
Damn. What's about The Great Maw?

>>50528040
Thanx, what is the name of this book?

>>50525796
Well, it's fair.

Most Khornefags can't read, it's important they have all the support they need.

Anny info about rules of Darkroot Wargrove?

Asking again, are the rules for Silver Tower up anywhere? I'm looking to do eitther a small warband style game or a dungeon crawler.

Let's not pretend that the upswing in AoS is due to anything but the addition of points

Yeh, it is due to points, because it was the only thing holding people back from actually trying the game.

Will Liberators and Retributors fit on 32mm base or should I buy 40mm for all of them?

>>50529814
AoS is specifically targeted at children, so no.

>>50530422
Liberators yes, retributors no. Their feet overhang.

However because most events and people are about measuring base2base, you may want to keep them all on the 40mm they come with or it would be considered modeling for advantage

>>50530443
But slaanesh units not banned.

>>50530422
>>50530626
I had my liberators on 32mm, but since I plan on attending the LVO, I had to switch them to 40mm just in case it would become an issue.

>>50530443
>AoS is specifically targeted at children
Huh, I just realized that AoS is 12+ and 40k is 17+. Strange, with all those butchery and carnage in AoS

>>50530643
They won't disallow models that have already been issued so, say, a quarter of your army is useless. He/she will still be languishing in obscurity from now on.

You don't realize then that video games get the mature rating on sexuality alone. Plenty of games are rated M without a hint of boobs. Same for R movies.

And yet you'll see parents buying said games/movies for their kids. Ask any parent and they'll say that violence in movies and games is fine because it isn't real. Most parents will try to put off talking about sex for as long as possible as it's very uncomfortable to discuss with their kids. I don't agree with it, but it's just an unfortunate reality.

>>50531965
Thats besides the point. You're arguing that because the sexual themes are turned down, then this game is for kids. We argue it's still an adult game, because the other things make it adult. Things are not adult for sexuality alone

And yet the story is set on a cliffhanger for the slaanesh story and frequently hinted at and mentioned in the fluff. Slaanesh is not getting squatted. The story just hasn't gotten to her yet

I've been waffling over color schemes. Which seems better?

>Blue armor, beige fur and pants. Silver trim. Some kind of bright vibrant color on the shield, perhaps varying every ten models or so.
>Ivory armor, dark grey fur and black pants. Bronze trim. White shields.
>Weathered metallic armor, but otherwise same as first option.

The Lightning Strike battle trait limits deep striking to 12" away while battalions allow a closer teleport. This keeps the old battalions relevant.

>it's actually an amnesiac Slaanesh

>>50540441
Now, brace yourself, anon, but here it is: In Lord of Undeath, there is a scene where Neferata is naked.
Also, at some point a Slaaneshi lord at some point rapes a defeated beastman.

>>50539707
I don't even like square bases, but can we maybe move past this? It's a worthless complaint.

>>50540079
this was my first thought too, but as I was reviewing my selection of blue paints (I have like 8 different blues) and not feeling inspired I got to thinking that maybe a metallic scheme would be good.

I am so used to painting space marines I kind of just assumed the armor should have some color on it, but thinking about it some, maybe that isn't the right path here?

How pedantic, well memed

>>50540619
Well, what more do you want? Sexy vampire chicks being naked is not an uncommon thing in fantasy novels, you should know this.
And if it's about the beastman rape, that's literally the scene. A champion of Slaanesh rapes a defeated beastman. If you want any more out of that, you might as well read the fucking story yourself.

>>50540709
I was mostly curious about the context for the rape thing.

Since:
>And then Hedonius, Lord of Slaanesh, raped a beastmen.

sounds like a non sequitur.

And for Neferata, is it like detailed or just mentioned of hand. I'm not looking for fap-bait mostly curious about the tone of the scene.

>>50540754
I'd really recommend reading Lord of Undeath, then. It's probably the best AoS novel at the moment.
It has a couple of very dark moments.

I started with the start collecting skeleton horde and I'm wondering where to go to build a decent army with it.

From reading around I think I might have fucked up by building the formation instead of taking Mannfred and Hexwraiths - I also built the skeletons with swords instead of spears.

Anyway, I was thinking another box of black knights, another box of skeletons, and a wight king.

They aren't horrible, but don't bother adding more to them. Ten is enough for a unit of those. Use them as roadblocks, flank guards and to gum up charge lanes.

How good are plaguetoads? I like the models but I do not know how good they are in game

>>50542326
Rgular toads are very meh, mounted they are pretty solid overall, as they are mediocre on the offense, but a bitch to get rid off.
200 points for riders is probably a bit overcosted.

>>50539707
I thought bases didn't matter?

>>50544448
I guess it's up to the person when building the model. I for example put round 32mm bases onto a group of Bestigors just becuase I felt that they looked better on round bases instead of square

>>50544448
They do when you are measuing base-to-base, which everyone does like it's standard.

Guys what rules would you give to a homemade Herdstone for beastmen?

Personally I would like to think that it boosts the bravery by one for each Brayherd and Warherd unit within 18" of it, and Great Bray Shamans can re-roll the "Savage Dominion" spell if they are within 6"

Is it balanced, do you guys have any better ideas for it?

Something about causing Chaos units being spurred into a frenzy. Maybe repelling charge distances within 12".

Gets hurt pretty hard by mortal wounds.
Death armies can stack those up pretty fast.
Mortis engine gets off a good reliquary and you can lose half your army.
Also, Astrolith should be in summon reserve, so you can put it where you need it. Probably want the salamanders and razordons there too, as you probably only want one or the other, so you can just have 180 pts in reserve and put them where you want.

>>50547273
>Hurt hard by mortal wounds

Welcome to Seraphon bruh.

My one problem with the army is that its super durable, to regular wounds only. Theres almost no resistance to mortal wounds. At least other shield bearing units get that 6+.

>>50547474
skinks my friend, skinks.
They're great screeners.
Take that mortis engine, it's going to use a charget to get into range of you main body for the relique hero phase (double turns are a bugger here, but even without). Hits a line of skinks first, and it's needing a bigger roll to get to your guys.

Try to get a flier around to snip your heroes, bury them in skinks.

those nasty flier with Rend-2 and Damage 3, skinks.

They won't deal much damage, but often your opponent needs to attack them first or they wander off to block again, meaning you get first attack with your actual hitters.

for 80pts they cover a lot of area.

My advide for that list is drop the handlers (nice but not that great), salamanders, razordons, and astrolith bearer, get 500 pts.
160 for 2 units of skinks, the rest for summoning, bring out what you want of those things you cut where you need them.

Also, possibly put two of those saurus guards together, having too many small units can be a downside.

>>50547273
I don't know if you have ever seen a Kroak+Vortex list but it's legitimately overpowered.

Unless they are using hellcannons they can't kill Kroak on a vortex. Even against heavy artillery Kroak can snipe the crew. Against Hellcannons you can force them to reroll successful hits and then reroll damage rolls that do get through.

With a Starseer and Kroaks command ability you are very likely to get two turns in a row at some point, letting you get magic phases in a row and snipe most heroes while putting serious damage on the rest of their army.

Kroak + Vortex is absolute filth - it is definitely the army to beat right now.

>>50547273
With Kroak you don't want to waste any spells on casting summons, so you deploy everything on the board. You bring a mix of Razordons and Salamanders because they are good at different things and you don't know what to expect.

It's important that the Astrolith Bearer starts deployed so you can get a guaranteed +1 to casting Balewind Vortex (+2 if you start near Arcane terrain) and you can use Curse of Fates from a Starseer and Insight dice to make it even more reliable.

Maybe go darker on the purple? If you don't want to repaint, you could try some purple and/or black washes to get the color down a bit. Best case it fixes it and worst case you got a chance to get some data from experimentation and you throw it in the stripper

What are some good and "fun" ideas for the Gnarlroot Grove's Order Wizard choice for a Syvaneth army?

>Sisters of Thorn, useful spell, beautiful AF models, very much in theme with sylvaneth

>Loremaster, somewhat in theme, low point cost, not a bad spell

What do you think apart from these two? I heard some Seraphon wizard and then summoning other lizards is a neat tactic. I think also Seraphon would be in theme too more or less.

whatcha think?

>>50548732
It's for a tournament, I would not run it in a friendly game

>>50548772
Celestial Hurricanum

Skink Starseer

Loremaster is very good if you bring a heavy hitter like Spirit of Durthu

does the treelord ancient only comes as that variant in the battleforce box or can you make it a durthu?

>>50549196
Not certain but it's almost definitely a regular Treelord sprue so you should be able to make a Treelord, Ancient, or Durthu

>>50549196
Assuming you're asking if the model in the Battleforce can be built as anything aside from the Ancient, the answer is yes, you can assemble it as Treelord, Treelord Ancient and Spirit of Durthu.

>>50548787
okay, I get that. I tried tournaments, but too much time and stress for me to enjoy myself most of the time.

Still say skinks are pretty good, maybe not at the level where super combos are being run, but I typically find 2 units does a lot of work for their points, especially if there are objectives.

>>50546027
Sounds pretty fair to me. You could add wounds to it or make it an objective.

>>50549474
>>50549480
sure?

>>50549782
Yes. They're all on the same sprues. It's a similar situation for the Treelord in the Start Collecting box.

Asked Ao.Ai some random stuff about age of sigmar then it dropped something unexpected out of the blue.

So Lord Skreech Verminking's "Dreaded 13th Spell" ends up summoning a Verminus Unit.

Does that mean you could summon a Skaven Warlord or Verminlord Warbringer? They both qualify as a Verminus unit.

>>50551285
No. the way it is worded makes it clear you are summoning a multiple model unit.

>>50551605
To be fair, it is very poorly worded

Got my OOP goblin warboss in the post today. Can't find my usual paint stripping agent so I've settled for replacing the git's legs.

This lucky Grot will be riding a Thunderwolf.

>>50551605
So since you summon a model of the unit for each wound dealt, does that mean if you only deal one wound you can summon a 1 model unit?

>>50552326
I would argue fervently against this.

>>50546027
Also models with CHAOS and WIZARD keywords get to reroll on unbinding spells.

>>50553225
To be honest, I would too. My main plan is just to summon Stormvermin.

Though we do have a "that guy" in our meta and pulling RAW and doing that would be hilarious.

>>50551285
The way my FLGS interpreted it is it gives you an amount of wounds to summon from. With 1-4, only clan rats and storm vermin, but if you manage to deal 12, you can bring in a verminlord

>>50554593
That's a good way to look at it.

Where are the rules for the Clan Skryre Battalion found?

>>50556032
grand alliance chaos book

>>50556323
available in pdf anywhere?

So Nurgle and Khorne are the only two factions with any real Mortal units then? Not counting Slaves to chaos obviously.

Rumor stuff

http://natfka.blogspot.com/2016/12/rumors-for-adeptus-titanicus-necromunda.html
Adeptus titanicus and epic stuff is slated to come early 2017, but then after that they are thinking of looking into necromunda or mordheim.

I don't know about you guys, but I hope mordheim is set in the mortal realms. That's just me though. I think there's a lot of potential for it to be here. Bloodbowl didn't need to be mortal realms because old BB was technically a separate universe from whfb. I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with regardless.

>>50557698
No new releases lately

>>50557836
yeah that's been a bit bothersome

I hope 2017 brings a bunch of fresh releases for AoS, though rumors suggest otherwise.

Battleforce: Sylvaneth Darkroot Wargrove any info about rules?

Just started with a slaves to darkness army with some beastmen support. But I didn't really know what to equip my Gors with I was thinking on doing half with 2 weapons and the other half with a weapon and shield. What do you guys think is best?

>>50558225
go with whatever you think looks best


gors are 80 points per 10 for a 5+ that goes up to 4+ in the combat phase only.

The wording is really unclear if two gor blades give two attacks or just the reroll, though I assume it is just the reroll.

Looking at the warscroll I see gors as a premium priced middle ground between Marauders (a cheap defensive Slaves to Darkness unit without much killing power) and Bloodreavers (a cheap very offensive, but very fragile, Khorne Bloodbound unit). They are a unit capable of both offense and defense as the situation requires, but doesn't excel at either. A flexible and maybe forgiving unit so long as you have a way to get around their bravery of 5.

I don't think the dual blades really give them much over the shields, while the defensive bonus from the shields is pretty nice against stuff in the combat phase.

419KB, 2048x1445px

>>50558225
Can't mix weapons for Gors, weapons for them are decided on a per-unit basis.
Which isn't much of a problem, since shields are straight-up the better option.
Don't rely on them for much of anything, but at least they are pretty fast and can jam up some charges where needed.
It's a shame they don't get spears...

>>50558398
>unclear if gor blades give two attacks or just the reroll
It's just the reroll, and this hasn't been a question for ages.

>>50558481
>just the reroll
I thought so, but I haven't looked at gors since right after the legacy warscrolls were released.

>>50558481
Can I mix a unit with both double blades and weapon + shields

>>50558570
you can have a unit with blades, and a unit with shields, but they will always be two units and never act as one, or count as a larger unit for any bonuses.

>>50558570
>Some units wield two Gor Blades, while other units fight with Gorblade and Beastshield.
>Some *units*
>while *other units*
Gee, I wonder...

>>50558602
>>50558603
Ok, just wanted to double check.

>>50558603
relax

if someone is new and unfamiliar with the wording they might miss the details on the warscroll

unit refers to the unit of 10 or more.
model refers to just one.

Very few units are allowed to mix weapons within the same unit.

>>50558481
Man looking at Gors I really like the anarchy and mayhem ability. They could be used as really good distraction/fodder unit.

/AoSg/ help me with something. I want to make a nice campaign booklet for a campaign I'm prepping with my gaming group. However I want to make it as nice as possible.
So can anyone help me with:
>Background/Texture image used in the books
>Fonts that they use or close lookalikes.

>>50558653
that's the point of it I think

they are fodder that you don't want to ignore because they can sometimes be threatening

so you waste time taking them out and then find out goats are smearing shit all over everything else in your army

>>50558653
Anarchy and Mayhem is quite nice on throwaway gors, since you get to make a return on a unit that usually is just meant to be ground into paste otherwise.
On the other hand, for Tzaangors the same rule is hot garbage.

So Lady Atia/War of Sigmar posted the rumour that IoB is getting repacked as 'Spire of Dawn'

Doesn't seem very likely since except for the swordmasters all the High Elf models have been discontinued and only exist as legacy warscrolls.

Just release the plastic Warlock Engineer and Weapon teams as clamshells GW.

Some words from Josh Reynolds about the book he is currently writing for Age of Sigmar :

"One of the common criticisms levelled at this particular setting has been its relative lack of depth. We know who the factions are, and why they’re fighting, but not what they’re fighting for. Who and what are the various factions seeking to protect, conquer or devour? Now, anyone who’s read the various tie-in novels, audios and short stories related to the setting probably already has some idea as to the answer to that question.

But with this book, I’m getting the opportunity to really dig into HOW the realms work, and how a city in the Age of Sigmar might function. You want to know what people (and Skaven) eat? Got you covered. Want to know how the sewers work? Weird, but okay. Who patrols the walls? How do they brew beer? What’s a slum like in the Age of Sigmar (short answer: awful)? Where do the rich folks live? What sort of temples do they have? Where do all these people come from, if the armies of the dark gods are constantly attacking? These are all questions I’m hoping to answer. Satisfactorily, if not in detail.

More than that, I’m getting to explore how the various cultures of the mortal realms might interact – can the scion of a noble house of the Celestial Realm get along with a hard-bitten sellsword from the Realm of Metal? What does a librarian in the Realm of Beasts look like? What about a demigryph knight from the Realm of Life?"

>>50560368
This sounds pretty much exactly like what I have always wanted from the novels. Awesome.
Worldbuilding on that scale is my favorite thing.

>>50560368
This sounds surprisingly not shitty. I might give it a go.

>>50559439
Where are you from?

>>50560368

>>50560368

Forge World should really look into some Imperial Armour-esque books for AoS.

>>50561580
One for each realm, perhaps?

I got the Sylvaneth tome and its fucking perfect. But lets say I want to start a seraphon or fyreslayer army...and I get their tomes. I heard they are different as such they dont have artefacts or battalion rules etc. is this true? if so whats the point of the pre-sylvaneth books if they dont have the same content for their factions?

>>50562283
None, just some battallions/.

>>50560368
>and how a city in the Age of Sigmar might function.
Who cares if it would be random city who didn't appear outside of his not great novels?

>That feel when you based your entire army then finding a way cooler them, complete with battlemat and terrain....

>>50563358
Then why no start collecting box?

>>50563370
Just because it's not the most popular army, does not mean it's the most hated. I don't think GW regrets it because a lot of fiction surrounds them and they have some pretty cool fluff, and I've seen a lot of fyreslayer armies on display.

>>50563675
It literally is the same box set rebranded. It will most likely have round bases instead of square, and a different booklet with rules, warscrolls, and scenarios. But all minis will be the same.

I have an army for every grand alliance now but Death. I am not particularly inspired by any of the sub factions really. Any ideas of a unique death force?

>>50566713
The idea I have in the kitty if I make a Death army is to make a Necromancer-led skelly army, with a scratchbuilt Bone Giant using the Tomb Kings Compendium as the centrepiece. The rules for it are actually pretty tasty, especially with the fact they give a buff spell to Death Wizards.

I'm about to get into Age of Sigmar and have hit a stumbling block on the army to pick. I love the look of both Bloodbound and Ironjawz, but hate that the Bloodbound look to be a horde army (or rather you get tons of Reavers with the starter and new battleforce) - I really cannot face painting up 40+ Reavers.

Ironjawz on the other hand would require painting much fewer models, and I have always had a soft spot for greenskins. Sorely tempted by them, but Bloodbound seem a bit more fleshed out - they have a lot more character models and an easy way to pick most of them up (Gorechosen).

Ah decisions decisions!

Ironjawz are a good choice, but you'll still be using 'ard Boyz as bulked-out units.

Don't forget you can mix and match stuff in other armies. Look into the rules of some of the Bloodbound units and you can synergise them with the Chaos Warriors, Knights etc with Khorne devotion.

If there's a concept you'd want ask about it here and we'll help work it out for you.

I'm very, very new to the hobby, so apologies if this is a stupid question. I was looking for used models on eBay (as many recommend to save $$$) and found some old GW models from a Warhammer board game for quite cheap. Is it kosher to use Battle Master Chaos Warriors to play Age of Sigmar?

He is a moron. There is nothing that you can say to convince him he is wrong, and he is going to try his hardest to show convince us that AoS is some "wow ripoff" like his life depends on it. We dealt with this crap since day 1, and you know how we dealt with it? We ignored them. Eventually they get bored and go away.

So please, just ignore the aos=wow shitposter.

Bro just sell your plasma and or sperm. And if you sell plasma, you get hammered even quicker (if you start drinking the night you donate) so you save on booze money too. Win win brah.

>>50571544
>dat denial

Anyone got any leaks on them new battleforce BN rules? I already pre-ordered the Thunderfist (basically finishes what I want to buy for my Ironjaws) but, you know, list hammering is part of the fun. Hope I can bring mah giant and still be have Ironjaw... and I hope it's just not a copy paste of the old Black ork Bigmob.

>>50571010
Thank you much friend. I'll look into those

>>50563975
You're greentexting.
Of course we're not going to engage you in any actual discussion, because you're obviously not looking for it.

>>50563544
Artifacts, command traits, battle traits, and arcane treasures didn't exist before the Generals Handbook.

The only battletomes published since the GHB are Sylvaneth, Beastclaw Raiders, and Bonesplitterz.

>>50563422
The only reason I can see is that Order had enough Start Collecting boxes already.

Seraphon was already published and they put out Sylvaneth and Stormcast at once - putting out a 4th Order SC probably would have cut out production time from making a SC for the other grand alliances.

>>50565168
Drycha doesn't really combo with anything.

You use her to either:
1. teleport her to one side of the board to hit the entire enemy army with Flitterfuries
2. use her squirmlings to decimate any unit of 5+ models.

>>50569433
Nothing announced yet.

why do people keep falling for the blizzdrone bait

>>50571016
a GW store would give you funny looks I guess. Battle Masters models are very old and don't look so hot.

Check ebay for Chaos Warriors stuff, or if you have to buy new, chaos warriors are actually one of the cheaper factions. Your luck might be mixed on this as Chaos Warriors were one of the factions to have their prices reduced by GW. Lots of people still base their auctions on the old prices.

Chaos knights iirc were 35 dollars for 5 before, now they they 60 dollars for 10. Ten chaos knights is 400 points already.

Anon...
Literally 3 words in that post were coloured black.
And I'm not implying that those posts were discussion. In fact, I remember implying that we are NOT, in fact, engaging you in discussion, and that therefore, those posts are not discussion.
What I find most amusing about this, however, is that your expressed need for discussion is undermined by your actual posts.

Childish mockery, sarcasm so badly crafted that not even a Beastman would shit on it, multiple misspellings and even a failure to actually greentext.
In conclusion, you are a baiting faggot who needs to leave.

It might be habbenin fellas!

By not answering and going away.

>>50563121
So spireguard, would that mean we might see a return of the Lothern Seaguard? And if so why didnt they do that when they re-released the factions.

Battleforce: Sylvaneth Darkroot Wargrove any info about rules?

>>50575081
This questions is already in the thread but no since we only have pre-orders atm

>>50575011
>So spireguard, would that mean we might see a return of the Lothern Seaguard?
Nope, the whole model-line is going to be discountinued

>>50575157
But the box includes 'Spireguard' which are just gonna be Lotern Seaguard models. It just seems weird that they'd reintroduce models that they've only recently relegated to 'legacy' status

>>50575186
It really is weird.
I'm putting it down to GW being cheap.
At least there's new elf and skaven stuff, fluffwise.

>>50575256
I've already got two boxes but I wouldn't mind to have the booklets and extra stuff that is included, if it's any good of course. But most likely it won't be any new stuff, maybe some updated Warscrolls/Battallions.

So when will Sigmar get a model?

>>50575437
Never. Sigmar abaddoned his aspect of the Warrior King and adopted his aspect of the God King. He longer wishes ti fight but to guide and direct.

Celestant Prime took Sigmar's place in the field.

Are those supossed to be ranged support that stays back, or should I rush foward with them and use shooting attack as extras?

Anons, sell a 40k anon on AoS

>>50575823
free rules for units, no bullshit formations/decurions, hard to find a faction that is unplayable in compare to others

>>50563121
Nice, that means non-legacy warscrolls for several old units.
Does the text mean that the 'Spireguard' will have the Swifthawk Agent keyword?
Because that would make for a neat army. Blisteringly fast speed from gryphon, skycutters, chariots and reavers, flexible infantry in the form of seaguard and shadows.

>>50575817
Their shooting is kinda shit while they brawl very well, so do the math.

>>50575823
It has a very low barrier to entry while still being just as fun as 40k

>>50575890
That's something I noticed too. If the Swifthawks get the next release, I'll be pleasantly surprised. There are certainly worse options for elf factions out there, and I think the SAs are an interesting faction from what little I can remember.

>>50575847
>>50575962
So all the bullshit "shout \"FUG U\" to get double the dice" rules are out now?
Also is there an official points system for units?

>>50575437
After GorkaMorka mini.

>>50575962
>low barrier to entry
How exactly 2k points is "low barrier to entry"

>>50575963
>>50575890
The Spireguard are the biggest surprise atm, but let's not get our hopes up it might just be a rename, an updated warscroll and that's it. The Silver Tower heroes didnt contain any keywords either.

>>50576039
Why exactly do you think you have to play 2k?

Yes

Yes, General's Handbook

Those rules were mostly confined to special characters in the first place as a 'final hurray' but yes they are completly out now.

>>50576870
>>50576914
Great! Is there a good read online on how different armies play and what to expect out of them?

>>50576946
Check out the factions and units on the AoS app.

>>50576946
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Age_of_Sigmar/Tactics

I have some questions regarding chaos Marauders; if I I have flails on them, can I still place shields on them? Or am I not allowed to since they carry a two hands weapon

>>50577065
The warscroll is very clear about this; flails and shields are prefectly legal.

>>50576960
>>50576946
Mind you 1d4Chan is horribly biased and inaccurate sometimes. The tacticas are sometimes written by people who don't even play the armies

>>50577096
Just wanted to double check before assembling them myself. I also didn't see any models on GW's site that carried both flail + shield.

>>50577103
That's true.

Also, a good portion of the stuff was written before the point system.

I would like to encourage people to expand and correct the wiki if they see that you faction guide is old and inaccurate.

>>50577151
That sounds suspiciously like it'd involve effort, so no thanks.
But somebody should take a look at the Beastclaw entry, it's new and mostly awful.

>>50563370
Pretty sure thats something to do with the fact that the army is all new models, all the SC boxes have old kits in them that otherwise hadnt been selling well.

The exception is ofc SC and KBB, who also have cheaper models available in other boxes.

>>50577538
>all the SC boxes have old kits in them that otherwise hadnt been selling well.
[Citation Needed]

>>50575823
Simpler rules without significant loss of tactical complexity, refreshing change to the playstyle, everything >>50575847 said, toned down magic, TON of variety, very few totally shit/trap unitts, basic freedom to play whatever kind of army you want, emphasis on themed armies, lot of support for multiple types of play, including competitive and narrative.

Downsides IMO is that I think most of the scenarios are shit, and prefer to use the maelstom of war missions from 40k. I also miss chracter customization, designing my characters loadout the way I want for a particular goal.

Minor things I know, but they matter to me. AoS and 30k basically left 40k in the dust for me, 40k is a blaoted mess.

>>50576003
People took them too seriously when the devs didnt when they wrote them into the stand-in compendiums. Theres literally none of that anymore.

>>50577598
Chill nigga. Let me rephrase, theyre all older kits, typically designed to be ranked up witth few poses, that if given the choice between them for 40e vs something new and shiny, most people will pick the new and shiny ones.

Examples:
>Saurus warriors and knights,
>Orc boys/chariots/boar boys
>Black orcs
>Chaos warriors and knights

Shit you probably wouldnt want to drop cash on but are more than happy to get for a good deal. Like whos going to buy the monopse chaos warriors when you can get the blood warriors?

>>50577703
Black orcs are a new kit.

>>50577760
No they're not, Brutes are new

>>50577760
Black orcs are pretty old at this stage now pal.

Sweet thanks anon. Got the ironjaws one?

>>50575823
Better rules for shooting and charging

Better force organization with unit synergies

Formations cost rules

No free units, everything summoned into play costs points

Better rules for magic

Free rules

All factions good in their own way, no objectively bad models in the game

When are they going to fix the setting?

>>50579332
The new josh reynolds novel gives me some hope for in improvement:

"One of the common criticisms levelled at this particular setting has been its relative lack of depth. We know who the factions are, and why they’re fighting, but not what they’re fighting for. Who and what are the various factions seeking to protect, conquer or devour? Now, anyone who’s read the various tie-in novels, audios and short stories related to the setting probably already has some idea as to the answer to that question.

But with this book, I’m getting the opportunity to really dig into HOW the realms work, and how a city in the Age of Sigmar might function. You want to know what people (and Skaven) eat? Got you covered. Want to know how the sewers work? Weird, but okay. Who patrols the walls? How do they brew beer? What’s a slum like in the Age of Sigmar (short answer: awful)? Where do the rich folks live? What sort of temples do they have? Where do all these people come from, if the armies of the dark gods are constantly attacking? These are all questions I’m hoping to answer. Satisfactorily, if not in detail.

More than that, I’m getting to explore how the various cultures of the mortal realms might interact – can the scion of a noble house of the Celestial Realm get along with a hard-bitten sellsword from the Realm of Metal? What does a librarian in the Realm of Beasts look like? What about a demigryph knight from the Realm of Life?"

>>50576946
I can give you a quick primer as a competitive AOS player

Order

Seraphon: A little bit above average at everything, but not amazing at anything. Reroll everything (including your opponents dice). Tons of options. Big dinosaurs and some of the best artillery but it is short range. Objectively the strongest army in the competitive meta with Kroak + Vortex filth.

Sylvaneth - Great defensive army, but low movement. Can spawn forest all over the map and then teleport to that forest. High variety in list building.

Stormcast - Low model count, above average saves and damage. Low movement but lots of teleport gimmicks. Very powerful when mixed with Order wizards.

High Elves - Wizards and phoenixes make a very powerful turtle list. Hunker down with bolt throwers and whittle your opponent down. They can't kill your 0+ save phoenixes with 4+ to ignore wounds, eventually you just win.

Dark Elves - Frail and average damage, but very fast. Not viable in competitive because other armies do the same thing but better. Wait for Malerion to make them great again.

Wood Elves - High Elves do it better.

Dwarves - Good saves and good melee, but far too slow. Need to mix in artillery from Ironweld Arsenal, but vulnerable to being outflanked by fast armies or teleporting units.

Freeguild - Like Dwarves with worse melee, but better shooting. Gunline lists are nothing but a bad meme, very easy to counter. Fun to play, but poor saves and low bravery make them fragile and prone to running away.

Fyreslayers - Low movement, but good saves and decent melee. Not viable on their own, need to mix in some artillery from Ironweld Arsenal. Vulnerable to being flanked by fast armies.

>>50579416
I would rather just have that in a fluff book than a novel.
