GW is reboxing Island of Blood for AOS.

What do you think?

I think GW should die in a fire

>>50585683

Are High Elves and Skaven good armies in AoS?
>>
>>50585726
High Elves are very good

Skaven can be good if played properly, but when played poorly half your army runs away and you get crushed.
>>
>>50585683
Reboxing how?
>>
>>50585683

Source?
>>
>>50585904
Renamed "Spire of Dawn" it is a 2nd starter kit for AOS

Circle bases (in addition to the square bases the models usually come with)

Updated rules and points for all models in the box as well as battalions
>>
>>50585904
As in reissuing.

>>
>>50585984
>in addition to the square bases the models usually come with
thats nice if true
>>
>>50586265
They are reboxing Island of Blood to get rid of extra stock and it's cheaper to just add some circle bases instead of throwing out the squares from every box.
>>
That depends, is the price going to be the same?
>>
>>50587861
Should be $85 USD, same price as the start collecting boxes
>>
I could totally dig this. Unfortunately never had a hobby group whom was interested in warhammer (only 40k). But now with AoS here I found one. This could be a nice entry point. Love the figures.
>>
>>50585683
>What do you think?
Useless starter since GW is going to discontinued all Elves models and units.
>>50585726
Skaven yes, elves rean't even army, they are "legacy" army now and aelves divided to a lot of fireslayers-size armies (1 infantry/cavalry uni, 1 large unit)
>>
>>50588168
Starter set for start collecting box price?
>>
>>50585683
Skaven part are great, elves... well 8th models were shit as fuck, but shoud fit AoS cartoonish WoW-like design.
But I don't get, according to Attia all old HE units wouldn't be updated they will be totally replaced, does it mean that IoB elves are now separate support-army, or gW just lazy to make new actual starter?

What's wrong mr. GW? Why I should buy the starter where half of the box willn/t be updated in future?
>>
>>50589780
So the only reason you buy any models is because eventually they'll put out new updated versions of the same models, invalidating your purchase in the first place?

Are you REALLY this stupid
>>
>>50589797
Nope redshirt, when I buy models for wargame (if AoS could be called wargame, not "abomination of 40k and Warmahorde hatesex") I want to start some army, here ony one actual army and it's skaven.

Yep. Tends to happen when you throw 30+ years of history and lore in the fucking garbage can, and, more importantly, completely invalidate the massive armies people had collected up to that point.

And yeah, I'm aware of the rules they gave so you could keep playing with your old models; those rules are fucking stupid bullshit. LOL LOOK IN A MIRROR AND GET A BONUS, GET A BONUS FOR HAVING A MUSTACHE, GET A BONUS FOR PRETENDING TO RIDE A HORSE, ISN'T THAT WACKY AND FUN? No, GW, it's just fucking lame.

>>50589885
Actually by your logic, it's 3 seperate Skaven armies. Clans Verminus, Clans Skryre and Clans Moulder. The only thing they share is that they are all Chaos, but the same goes for the High Elves.

However, what is curious is that the Seaguard(now named Spireguard in this box) and Reavers had been renegated to 'Legacy' status, although they have a warscroll + points value for matched play.
>>
>>50592428
>but the same goes for the High Elves.
Nope since skavens are actual army and they will have updates in future, while Elves will be replaced.
>although they have a warscroll + points value for matched play.
So as Tomb Kings, bret and Empire, but they all unplayable against actual armies like Nurgle or Sigmarines.

Those are not the Wood Elves. Sylvaneth came from the Everqueen grabbing the soulpods of the Treefolk from the old world and planting them in the Realm of Life later.

The Wood Elves in AoS are the Wanderers and they have a strained relationship with the Sylvaneth.

And the list goes on

>[citation needed]
Does Attia rumors counts?
>Skaven as an united faction does not exist anymore, as do the High Elves, Dark Elves and Wood Elves for that matter.
Except the fact that Skaven still playable as single army, while elves separated by small aries with one infantry/cavalry unit and on big unit monster/war machine.
>>50592542
>more interesting names.
Yeah Orruks totally not Uruks, and dAurDin aren't realted with Tolkien.
>>50592555
Not exactly, Sylvaneth are Space Marines for not-Wood Elves, like Sigmarines for >>50592555
humans.
>>
So, Outcasts and Spite Revenants aren't ex-elves?
>>
>>50592645
Yeah, they aren't elves.

The Everqueen shaped the Revenants to look the same Wood Elves forest protectors of the Old World. They are really reincarnated spirits of tree folks.

The Outcasts and where they came from is a mystery. Most hints say they are treefolks corrupted by bitterness and hate.
>>
>>50592612
How are Elves less playable than Skaven as one army? Neither have specific Battletomes outside of the Grand Alliance stuff in the GHB. My own Skaven army is still a combination of 3 different factions.

Got a factual source on that? And -A rumourmonger said so- is not a source, that's a source for an (unconfirmed) rumour
>>
>>50585683
Is it really? I can't find it on their site.

Anyway, when it came out it was a pretty sweet deal. It didn't have the same enormous bulk of miniatures of the previous box (the one with dwarves and goblins) but the quality was definitely superior, there were more 'special' unit and some pretty sweet models like the hawk-griffin . If the price won't be increased too much it will remain a very sweet deal I guess.

With the Lorthern SeaGuard apparently re-released as 'Spireguard' will they also fix the fact that they are not battleline?

Nope because it's not actual army, it's "legacy" which mean "well you can play if you want but it will be like Tau in 5th edition".
>>
>>50592766
Yeah, they're pretty cool. I'm actually tempted to get my hands on them...

>>50592874
Bought two full boxes at the time and split them with my Elf bro. Why they havent released the Warlock Engineer as a seperate kit is beyond me at this point (it's probably because his sprue is not a seperate entity so if they want to release it they are better of with sculpting a whole new one...)

You don't need any of those to play though.or do you consider D&D campaign books to be required to own as well? You'd be a retard but at least you're consistent with your mental disability.

The only book you 'need' is the GBH, and to be fair GW should have released that like a month after the AoS launch.

AOS is a cowardly product. It's ethos is to copy a success as much as possible just to avoid having to confront their own mistakes.

The settings defining element, it's retarded naming conventions, are primarily motivated by the fear that someone will come along and provide a better product with a similar name.

The models are mixed in sprues, so you can't have a clean break between the two factions. I remember sharing a IoB box and it took some time to find all the pieces and separate them from the sprues.
>>
>>50592032
You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.

Time ago I got most of a sprue from this in a bitz bag, I had never properly looked into the IoB kit.

I got the sprue with the elf mage(minus a few parts), skaven mortar teams, and some other misc rats on there. Never knew there was an entire gryphon and rat ogres in this, wish I got those since I could find tons of uses for those parts.

The models are still ugly, prices are still high and rules are still bad.
For what I've seen they just trying to take control over community by replacing community sites and events by their own official, because their product cannot hold the audience without artifical isolation. They still doesn't have good game-designer and play-testing team and they begging players to fix the broken rules for them. Star Collecting is totally "Kirby"-tier boxes, a lot of models without useful things (super-heavy, enough heavy infantry or additional weapon).
yes, Traitor Legion supliment looks interesting, but that's all.

First. AoS is not a personal attack on you. It was created since 30 years of bloat, combined with an absurdly hostile community had all but killed WHFB.
Second. You have yet to give any reason as to why AoS' rules may or may not be bad other than "Muh 3+" which is literally meaningless since you didn't even bother to explain it. and I doubt you will bother to so I won't ask. In fact, I'll do your job and explain it for you, as you
"3+ 3+ 3+ 3+ 3+"
Third. This is LITERALLY an AoS thread, you're the one that needs to go back. If you don't like AoS, fucking ignore it. Hide the thread or just suck it up and not pay attention. You have a number of tools at your disposal to deal with this but you instead choose to whine and poop your diapers since that's apparently what you WANT to do

Okay, the rules are bad because it's trying to be Warmahine, but without real synegries (since all synergies could be easily br broken by heavy infantry spam one of OP armies) and 40k without diversity of weapons and units types, where everything ending with mess on the middle of table, where almost any units can kill any other unit just throwing 3+.

Prices are UNREASONABLY high. This shit right here is 80 USD. Try and justify it.

Are you justifiying a company for releasing an unfinished product at high prices as if it was ready for market?
Also fuck that noise, there's been plenty of time. A game designer team could come up with balanced rules for a good game in a month, let alone for a game with rules as simplisti and idiot-friendly as AoS.

>Nobody cares if the models are not perfect.
So what you're saying is the rules aren't fixed yet, the models aren't perfect, but still they're justified for putting them out already and with such ridiculous prices?

>Aelves will be getting a release,

Nope all models will be discontinued and the rules for units wouldn't be updated in the future.
Also, they aren't super-magical soldiers, so they have no future by default.
>>

>These are models created for WHFB

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on what aesthetic they choose to go with.

You are fucking idiot or shill, there will totally new army with new units which is unrelated with old HE army.

Because old spearmen are 4/5 th editions stuff.

You say that, but if the aesthetics are similar enough then there's nothing stopping a proper synergy.

Yes. So why do you think they will be discontinued even though they just go re released?

>Yeah and they are important just like PDF in 40k.

I would of preferred new sculpts and kits to repackages. I already HAVE island of blood (it was my first box actually) I don't really need another one.
>>
>>50616538

The designs are actually very similar. They just have crisper details.

And it shows. The newer Elves fit nicely with classical aesthetic but made with superior technology.

You mean what?

It's not me.

In 40k, not in AoS where all what isn't super-magical are irrelevant.

It's not for you then, numbskull.

They're called starter kits for a reason.

No they aren't like the TK

TK are gone from production entirely, high elves were split to smaller factions.

Not design, aesthetic.

What the fuck are you talking about? High Elves = Highborne

Fuck off retard

oh shit AND a jew !?!?!

you win this argument, i tip my hat to you!
>>
>>50616615
>You mean what?

If the new Elves look similar to High Elves then the two can be used together without it being weird.

>In 40k, not in AoS where all what isn't super-magical are irrelevant.

I think that's wrong. Regualr humans, orcs and skaven still exist.
>>
>>50616637
>Not design, aesthetic.

The aesthetic is all but unchanged. Heroic scale, robes, cone helms.

>And with fucked up cartoonish design, that's what killed WHFB.

But they were less cartoonish than perviously.
If cartoonishness was a factor they would have had to kill Fantasy sooner.
>>
>>50616669
>What the fuck are you talking about? High Elves = Highborne
1) Fluffwise nope, their race was builded from what remain from elves souls.
2) Rulewise, nope, it will be totally new army/armies with totally new units and rules.
>>50616683
>If the new Elves look similar to High Elves then the two can be used together without it being weird.
Of course both AoS and 8th ed models are ugly as fuck, but since you are AoS players it will be hard to understood it.
>Regualr humans, orcs and skaven still exist.
So as Planetary Defence Force in 40k.
>>
>>50616725
>Of course both AoS and 8th ed models are ugly as fuck

How can you say that in comparison to earlier models?

>So as Planetary Defence Force in 40k.

No, you can't play as pdf in 40k.
>>
>>50616397
>all GW minis are ugly and cartoonish

Ok, so what are you doing here, exactly?
>>
>>50616723
>Heroic scale, robes, cone helms.
In 4/5th edttion good truth scale was real only in individual miniatures, not in mass prduction (jokes about GW prices will born much earlier).
>But they were less cartoonish than perviously.
yeah because of lack of technologies, in 8th they have technologies, but chose to switch into cartoonish design.
>If cartoonishness was a factor they would have had to kill Fantasy sooner.
It was one of reasons why people turned off from WHFB in 8th edition.
>>50616749
>How can you say that in comparison to earlier models?
Easily, since I am not AoS player.
>No, you can't play as pdf in 40k.
Yes, because such factions will be unpopular, but AoS isn't popular outside GW stores,.
But actually i talked about fluff.
>>
>>50616784
Because it's not GW private board
>>
>>50616799
>In 4/5th edttion good truth scale was real only in individual miniatures

GW does not use true scale, they use heroic scale.

>yeah because of lack of technologies, in 8th they have technologies, but chose to switch into cartoonish design.

They did not switch design. They are an update with crisper detail.

>It was one of reasons why people turned off from WHFB in 8th edition.

I disagree. Models from 7th were no less cartoonish.
>>
>>50616799
>Easily, since I am not AoS player.

We're talking about Fantasy minis here, not AoS ones.

>But actually i talked about fluff.

In fluff the PDF is very important.
>>
>>50616862
>GW does not use true scale, they use heroic scale.
Nope they use it when true scale was expensive in mass production, then they switched to cartoonish design when they true scale becomes useful without losing quality.
>They did not switch design.
They didn't swittch (it happened in AoS) aesthetic, but switched design while all old arts showed their models in true scale (well excep Chaos and orcs).
>I disagree. Models from 7th were no less cartoonish.
AoSpolayer pls, try to goolge old Dark Elves Executioners.
>>50616903
>We're talking about Fantasy minis here, not AoS ones.
We are talking about 8th edition.
>In fluff the PDF is very important.
They are less important than single IG regiment from Nonameus planet of LiterallyWho system.
>>
>>50616946
>We are talking about 8th edition.

Yes, Fantasy, not AoS.

>They are less important than single IG regiment from Nonameus planet of LiterallyWho system.

The IG codex says the PDf are just as brave as the Guard.
>>
>>50616637
>not even a thousand points
None of the starter kits have 1000 point armies

Not the main aos kit, for either side, not the start collecting for any faction, not dark vengeance, not kill team, not battle for vedross...

It gets players started. It is not a two full armies in a box and isn't meant to be
>>
>>50585683
Looks cool. If I wanted to get into AoS I'd buy it.
>>
>>50616977
>Yes, Fantasy, not AoS.
And I said that 8th edition was point of no return when design totally switched to cartoonish MMO-like shit, the AoS just wasn't bound by old aesthetic.
>The IG codex says the PDf are just as brave as the Guard.
And they are still irrelevant in setting.
>>50617002

Whaterver you say Kevin.

>>50592217
The legal department
>>
>>50616946
>Nope they use it when true scale was expensive in mass production

No, they have simply always used it.
Their reason is they believe true scale looks worse on the table top. Things like weapons are too small and outlines are too vague.

>but switched design while all old arts showed their models in true scale (well excep Chaos and orcs).

Art is irrelevant, this is models we're talking about. They kept the same design and aesthetic, just updated.

>AoSpolayer pls, try to goolge old Dark Elves Executioners.

Yes, look. Big huge heads. Massive swords. Very cartoony.

Aesthetic, design was changed.

You are right, much more cartoony than this, or your precious sigmarines

Your first pictures was released in 2010.

Don't waste your time bud. This may not have started out as a troll threat, but slav cunt has just derailed it. he's just a tosser who will argue and drag it down. lesson for the day, don't feed the troll.
>>
>>50617151
>Aesthetic, design was changed.

Design is basically the same.

>You are right, much more cartoony than this

They're about the same. Those Executioners maybe look more cartoony to your eye because of they way they are painted. Lots of non metallic metals.
>>
>>50617151
>Your first pictures was released in 2010.

Irrelevant. Cartoony was not a problem because the models were cartoony before 8e.
>>
>>50617091

nobody said this

It's thread like these that make me wish for Nazi mod's return.
>>
>>50617204
>Design is basically the same.
It doesn't fit the artwork true sscale, while in 8th they could do it, design changed.
>They're about the same.
Perhaps for man who never saw both of them untill now,
>Lots of non metallic metals.
Unlike you shill, I hold both of them in my hands, heads are really bigger, and the swords is much larger and impractical then old, so as WoC-size axe and banner.
And let's not forget about static monopose.
>>
Why did you fags let WarmaSlav ruin this thread for so long without anyone even noticing or calling him out?
>>
>>50617236
>Irrelevant
Because..?
>Cartoony was not a problem because the models were cartoony before 8e.
Not cartoony, heroic, because true scale wasn't great and was expensive as fuck.
>>50617250
Then may be you should return to your GW forum
>>
>>50617298
>It doesn't fit the artwork true sscale

It's not supposed to.
GW do their minis in heroic scale, not to fit the artwork. Design mostly unchanged.

>Perhaps for man who never saw both of them untill now,

I've seen both long before now. There is little difference beyond the heads.

>heads are really bigger, and the swords is much larger and impractical

Both have big heads and impractical swords.

>And let's not forget about static monopose.

The metals are static monopose as well.
>>
>>50617324
>only one person dislikes AoS
>>
>>50617340
>Because..?

Why should it be relevant? If the old ones didn't put people off Fantasy then the new ones sure wouldn't.

>Not cartoony, heroic, because true scale wasn't great and was expensive as fuck.

Yes cartoony. Heroic scale is cartoony and heroic scale is the scale GW uses, it does not use true scale.
>>
>>50617354

>The metals are static monopose as well.

here is exactly where you lost any credibility. Metal executioners show a flow and different moments of the blow, plastics just carry the weapon.

You have no tools to discuss this topic and being taken seriously.
>>
>>50617354
>I've seen both long before now.
>AoS player
>seen old executioner
Sure
>Both have big heads and impractical swords.
Old executioner sword was impractical because it was tall, while 8th edition shit have even blade form from MMO
>The metals are static monopose as well.
>>50617067
>static
>monopose
>>
>>50617376
>If the old ones didn't put people off Fantasy then the new ones sure wouldn't.
Here is your problem, the old ones didn;t pull people off because there were no good true scale, except handmaided individual models. The new one released when technologies made a great step forward, and instead of following GW switched to cartoonish design.
>Heroic scale is cartoony and heroic scale is the scale GW uses
Yes, they using now, early they used just heroic scale.
>>
>>50617472
>The new one released when technologies made a great step forward, and instead of following GW switched to cartoonish design.

I doubt this. What competes with GW the most at the time?
Warmachine. Warmachine designs are super cartoony. I belive you are wrong when you say cartooniness suddenly and inexplicably turned people off from Fantasy.
>>
>>50617513
>Warmachine. Warmachine designs are super cartoony.
Yeah and minis aren't great.
>I belive you are wrong when you say cartooniness suddenly and inexplicably turned people off from Fantasy.
Not exactly, swithing design which was made 8th edition makes all releases in 8th edition supre-shitty and with bad rules it;s killed WHFB.
>>
>>50617430
>Old executioner sword was impractical because it was tall

Also big kink in the blade for no reason.

>>The metals are static monopose as well.

Yes. The modes are basically one piece of solid metal and stood firmly planted. Monopose and static.
>>
>>50617546
>Yeah and minis aren't great.

So it wasn't minis that killed Fantasy.
>>
>>50617551
>Also big kink in the blade for no reason.
It's still much more useful form for blade
>The modes are basically one piece of solid metal and stood firmly planted.
Wow,, you create your own definition to prove your pont, great job shill.
>>50617569
Nope, Warmahordes always was about gameplay, while 8th edition have shit rules and shit models.
>>
>>50617607
>Nope, Warmahordes always was about gameplay

So if models mattered so much people would not play Warmachine.
So people wouldn't quit Fantasy because of models.
>>
>>50617623
>So if models mattered so much people would not play Warmachine.
Warhammer and Warmachine focsuing on different audience.
>>
>>50617357

No, only one person who dislikes AoS types in disjointed Eastern European syntax, calls everyone who disagrees with him "shill", "Redshirt", or "GWhore" (spelled the same way every time), and uses the same arguments in every thread.

Fucking faggot

Yeah right.

Tell that to those who played not!King Arthur and The not!Knights of The Round Table as well as the not!mummies with living statues and desert creatures.

I've been playing tomb kings for 8 years and they have never been better or more fun to play than they are right now in AOS

Stay mad !
>>
>>50585984
>square bases

Is this this set only, or will they try to do this with later sets?

If yes, then maybe there ACTUALLY is something that can be salvaged from AoS...

But the chances are second to essentially non-existent.

Sorry, but they are Squatted.
