Oh hey there. We bet the word ‘rumour’ is what drew you to this article. It would have grabbed our attention too. Speculating wildly about future releases is an essential part of the Warhammer hobby*. To nudge things along a little, we snuck into the Design Studio and snapped a photo of something that’s coming next year. Unfortunately, photography is not our strong suit…

See you next week for another game of ‘What am I looking at?!’.

*Well, not really, but it sure makes for fun reading!

Looks pretty darn good

>>50964566

SHOW THE DUARDIN YOU CUNTS.

>>50964623

here's hoping that means we're getting new dwarf models for AoS soon.

Can anyone recall a unit with an ability to pile in and attack before being attacked, or something similar? I swear I remember reading it but I can't remember what unit.

Currently looking through Slaanesh rules because that seemed like a good fit, thematically.

>>50964545
>>50964566
>>50964796
>>50964839

steam head duarden release soon is a lie. Maybe someday but they will do a steam head duarden release but there is no evidence one is being developed at this time. Key word here is "evidence".

Whats the best daemon army? Torn between Nurgle and Tzeentch aesthetically. Is undivided demons a thing?

>>50964959
What are you smoking, we already know the release is first quarter 2017, all the managers know it and the rumor image literally has a duardin logo stamped on the fucking front.

>>50965005
Can I get a source on this? Not doubting you, I just wanna know more info.

>>50965014
Here is your source
>>50964566

>>50965034
And you sure that's Warhammer AoS Duardin and not Blood Bowl Duardin?

>>50965014
Thats it, there is no more information. First quarter duardin mech suits and elves apperantly, but he didnt know if the elves were AoS or LotR.

Seperately he mentioned the next AoS release window is february, so that looks like when well know.

>>50965040
He said mech suits, so unless therell be one in blood bowl its going to be AoS.

Hey AoS general. Long time board gamer but first time games workshop hobbyist. How good a value is the age of sigmar starter box if I have nothing? I am thinking that I want to play seraphon or sylvaneth but from what I read the stormcast are really useful at plugging up weak points in other armies?

Am I better off just buying a get started! seraphon/sylvaneth and just slowy building/painting that? Thanks /aos/

I'm torn. I really like both Sylvaneth and the Flesh Eater Courts. What are the pros and cons of each army? I like the Sylvaneth a lot from what I've read but they seem too tied to the wildwoods. I've played 40k since 5th ed and am looking for something new to play alongside my genestealer army

>>50965256

Daemon Prince.
It's in the bog-standard non-aligned Daemons section.

>>50965425
>Idk, the 2 hour long official stream on disciple of tzeentch ?
so the steam punk dwarves get mentioned in the new tzeench fluff. Its a HUGE stretch to claim that is proof that stream head dwarden are going to be released any time soon.

>>50965382
It's also been sprinkled throughout several of the Tomes that Tzeentch and the Duradin have been dueling it off in the Realm of Metal.

Thank you anon.

I was looking for inspiration for a custom warscroll idea. Dwarf beer maidens, when attacked you can pick another dorf unit to pile in because Not the Beer! and wondered if there was precedent or I was just nuts.

I ended up scrapping the idea anyway, but it's good to know I wasn't crazy.

>>50965256

It is very good value BUT if you don't like the models in it, I'd suggest you buy the Start Collecting Sylvaneth or Seraphon box set instead because you mentioned your interest in those 2 factions. Both of their boxes have very good value.

do you like painting ? if yes take seraphon, if not take sylvaneth. they are MUCH easier to paint.

>>50965256

I just got the starter set and its pretty damn nice.

I like the khorne models, but not the eternals so much, so im debating selling them or trading them for more chaos stuff hopefully.

>>50966448
might be able to do a straight swap with someone else who bought the starter. i was thinking of doing that actually.

Why are Empire/Free guild gun lines so OP in Aos? I got my ass kicked when I ran them in 7th/8th Ed.

>>50966977
you couldnt shoot while in melee in Whfb

>>50966977
because in whfb you had shit like 1 lone Sabertusk or 5 direwolf that could completely block a 20 strong empire gunline from doing anything even if only a single part of 1 model was in contact

anyone know where to find the age of sigmar painting guide?

So, I've recently come into the possession of a large quantity of LOTR easterlings.
I've got 20 guys with spears, and 60 odd sword+shield guys , 30 archers and 6 of the horsemen and a few special characters. (some mounted, some not)
What army would be the best use for these models?

>>50967630
how much greenstuff are you willing to waste lmao

>>50967630
im gonna say dark elves/whatever the fuck dark elves are called in AoS

>>50967725
Dark Elves got split up.
The sorceresses and all infantry bar Corsairs and Witch Elves are Darkling Covens.
Corsairs, horse chariots and Kharibdyss are Scourge Privateers.
Witch Elves, Sisters of Slaughter, Doomfire Warlocks, Cauldron of Blood etc. are Daughters of Khaine.
Cold One units and Hydra are Order Serpentis.
Assassins and Dark Riders are Shadowblades.


>>50967630
Darkling Covens & Shadowblades combo could work. Make sure your hero characters can be reasonably proxied as an assassin or sorceress.

>>50967630
Freeguild or dork elves, I'd say. Spearmen, swordsmen and archers are prevalent in both factions.

>>50964989
Only standard DP and Furies.

>>50964989
Only Daemons?
Probably Slaanesh.

But Nurgle and Khorne gives you room to expand in the future with compatible allies, and Tzeentch is about to get a release which will give them some cool stuff.

>>50964989
I've started Nurgle w/ Mortals
So far Khorne and Nurgle will give you useful mortals to use, while Tzeentch has new releases in Jan

Slaanesh is kinda just there atm

>>50967658
absolutely none

New White Dwarf is up.

Sup, nerds.
So, in your nerdy opinion, what are the best and worst Sigmar releases of 2016?
For example,
Best: General's Handbook (Make Age of Sigmar great again actually for the first time)
Worst: Lord Veritant (boring witchunter Sigmarine with a boring model and boring rules)

>>50968474
GW pls leave

>>50968474
Best looking release last year imo is Alarielle. Also, that Gryph-hound in your pic is good looking.

>>50968529
even then this jew should just go play in store.

Is that really so hard to wrap your head around?

>>50968465

>>50968529
I would if anybody else actually played it.
I dig the models, but I'd like to play a game that other people actually do.
There's a decent AoS and KoW group at my LGS. LOTR doesn't exist.

>>50968587
bank holiday = no mail delivery m8

>>50968592
you obviously paid nothing for those models. Just drop some money on greenstuff and convert them into chaos or maybe even dryads

>>50968456
Up where?

>>50968587
I have it on yearly sub, i just know the Royal Mail can be either based or utterly shit

>>50968615
Oh my mistake. Well hopefully based in this case.

>>50968602
Problem is that Chaos doesn't have an archer option. I really wish marauders had javelins or throwing axes at the very least.
Freeguild looks to be the way to go.

>>50968474

>>50968754
as in rules wise they dont have anything resembling bows afaik but that model is swell

>>50968875
Yeah. I was thinking of getting some if I ever need some evil archer minis. They're exactly what a chaos archer should look like.

>>50968615
I work for Royal Mail and I have a subscription, mine still hasn't arrived. I rang GW customer support and they said they'd send out a new one, but they couldn't do it until the 6th of January.

Pretty shitty considering I've got all of the previous ones on like the 21st of each month, not sure what happened to my January copy.

>>50969094
Yeah m8 i know, i was like "where is my copy" on the 21st - was hoping to leak it here and 40k gen

Oh well, at least i have my Nurgle list to do

>>50968474
If not counting General's Handbook (since that would be the only right answer)
Best: Battletome: Flesh Eater Courts. Because finally GW expanded the undead from simple and one-dimensional cartoon villain faction to something far deeper and diverse.

Worst: The White Dwarf. No new model, just repainted old slayer model.

>>50968509
since when 6 archer could kill a sabertusk on average ? or even win a comba vs wolfs ?

also please, link me all those empire gunline winnjng tournament. i mean they clearly got no weakness.

"lone wolves" units were not used to interfere with shooting units, but simple warmachines and as sacrifices to cheese combat blocks into advantageous angles.

Is Skaven x Nurgle romance reasonable if my army has no pestilens and nurgle keyword right now?
I have already picked two SoD boxes and borrowed a Warp Lightning Cannon to build a 1k pts list but probably I would like to brew something bigger someday - maybe 2k pts.
I don't really know If should I go into 100% "pure skaven" army with Pestilens SC! Box if it is even possible or got into Skaven/Chaos keywords

30 Skeletons
15 Black knights
1 Mortis Engine/Coven Throne
1 Wight king with blade
1 Necromancer.
Should I just buy another wight king, 10 more skeletons and then just some high impact pieces?

>>50971895
dont worry, you are nowhere near a waacfag woth a list like that. Pretty much the opposite in fact

>>50971895
You play with only 4 units and 12 models. It wouldn't be waac at all, and you'll have your fair share of problems at objectives and similar.

>>50971895
how do you think you would fare against even a mid tier casual list like we got in the last thread ?

>>50953180 for example ?
And what about the high tier seraphon 1k list we got in the other threads ?

long story short youll just be a NPC to the other gamer. There is no way any of your actions will impact the game because you'll just be able to fight (roll dice) to what your opponent sends into you.
And he will not charge something he cannot crush in 1 turn.

I'll be playing casual games with friends. I will be fighting Seraphon, Vamps, and Stormcast.

I'm open to suggestion, maybe I'm overestimating the power of the Glottkin.

I thought the army would have good synergy with all the heals, making up for Nurgle's footslogging on the way in. A "Rotstar" if you will.

and last : new models literraly next week.

>>50972171
i understand its a new player list obviously.
But nothing in your list can survive massed shooting or a grimwrath berzerker equipped like the list above.
Theres nothing to heal if everyone is dead.

look up the past threads there have been nurgle list and critics posted (1 in every of the last 5 threads)

Even in casual environment, it will be no fun playing with or against that, you can have a much more fun time by adding chaos knight or plagues drones and be able to counter some things.

>>50967876
>Dark Elves got split up.The sorceresses and all infantry bar Corsairs and Witch Elves are Darkling Covens.Corsairs, horse chariots and Kharibdyss are Scourge Privateers.Witch Elves, Sisters of Slaughter, Doomfire Warlocks, Cauldron of Blood etc. are Daughters of Khaine.Cold One units and Hydra are Order Serpentis.Assassins and Dark Riders are Shadowblades.

I have a theory about this. Some asshat at GW had a boner for destroying the elves and managed to mutilate them by breaking them into impotent worthless factions. Its such a joke how worthless all the new elf mini factions are.

is there anyway to field very high model count armies that doesn't come across as being an annoying ass?

not that it matters as the only AoS group in my area meets on the nights I have to work late, so I can't ever play anyway

>>50972318
It is mostly getting used to the movement shenanigans, since most Sylvaneth units will be destroyed point for point outside of Wyldwoods.

>>50972220

>massed shooting
>chaos knights or plague drones

So my problem is lack of tarpit and low speed?

GW deserves to fold for squatting tomb kings, does anyone have the link to the chinacast ones?

>>50972171
>I'm open to suggestion, maybe I'm overestimating the power of the Glottkin.
Yeah you are, Glottkin is not a very powerful fighter (for his point cost there are better offensive options) and is best used as a buff/support piece in 2000pt games.

The command ability is great but any other chaos general can use the Lord of War trait instead, and that trait is completely bonkers on Blightkings because of their hit6 ability. His spell is great (especially on a screening unit of Plaguebearers) but the high casting value makes it unreliable.

His shooting attack is extremely powerful... if it hits. On 3+/4+ it's only a 33% chance to cause a wound, and then you get a save roll.

His healing ability is usually not enough to keep him alive because he is just a huge walking target, but if you put him near some Damned terrain you can take D3 mortal wounds, then immediately heal D3, and get a +1 hit buff (I do this all the time with my Death units that can ressurect)

He's a lot of fun to use because he fits the defensive Nurgle playstyle perfectly, but he is a big target and easy to play around in small games.

>>50972286
High model count armies are annoying but they get hard countered by lots of things.

The worst thing is having to move 100+ models. Fuck that shit.

>>50972347
look in the old threads there the link somewhere just CTRl+F "mega"

>>50972383
I love the flavor of light infantry but heavy infantry seem so much more practical for this reason

>>50972347
TK are not squatted. They still have rules (which were updated a week ago) and are one of the strongest armies in the game.

GW isn't producing their models any more but that could change at literally any moment. They weren't producing some high elf models and they just recently brought them back with Spire of Dawn. I'm not holding my breath that TK are coming back but anything is possible.

If you want chinacast then google yoyhammer or read the last aosg

>>50971895
Its not a Waac list. Glottkin damage relies heavily on his shooting-which will hit ponly once or twice.
His buff capability is amazing but works better on 1 wound/attack units.
You'll have a lot of problems because you have only 12 models.
Its interesting, and can punch a lot of damage, but definetely not waac.
Also, any warmachine will tear your units apart.
If I were you i'd cut 5x blightkings and add as many plaguebearers i could for some objective-grabbing meat. You can also buff them to theextreme. 2 wounds 2 attacks plaguebearers are nasty little bastards.

>>50972339
Just low speed.
you also need something that hits like a grimwrath berserker or Ironjaw Megaboss.
Glottkin hits hard but its way too expensive at that point level

if your army isn't fast with good saves and powerful long range shooting (think 40k scatbikes) go back to the drawing board

>>50972365

Thanks for the input Serabro. I always wanted to field the Glottkin and I was pumped when I didn't need 2,000 pts. Of generic Chaos (mostly Marauders) to do so.

I wasn't expecting him to do all the killing, I thought I could win with toughness, heals, and attrition, but I guess I underestimated the amount of firepower that could potentially be brought against me.

>>50972423

That was my thought too. I have 40 pts. To spare in my original list, it would be great to get a Nurgle Sorcerer Lord in there because his spell on Blightkings could be completely nasty.

What do you think about Festus?

>>50972483
festus is nice, but remember you have only a 50% chance to cast the spell. Outside of that, he is not that useful.
You really need more meat in there if you want to use the glottkin in 1k points. You definetely don't need 2 sorcerers(in addition to the glottkin too)when you are so low on models!
remember to always keep the general with the +1 to hit trait with you blightkings.
Because this way you'll generate attacks with a 5+ instead of a 6, or even 4+ if you roll a 6 when attacking due to chaos trait! You'll launch so many dices you wo't be able to hold them.

>>50972539

Got it. Thanks for all the input. I haven't bought my second box of Blightkings yet, so I'll switch in some Plaguebearers like was suggested.

Though I'll have to do some more figuring because Blightkings are only Battleline with Mortal Nurgle allegiance.

Made a quick chart that shows the success chance of abilities that use two dice rolls (charge, casting spells, etc.)

>>50972666
My 2 cents:
Throw away festus, get 120 more points for a total of 300.
get 2 units of 10 plaguebearers for 2 battlelines, use the last 100 to get a sturdy hero to help your kings on the battlefield, like a plague lord(or a slaughterpriest for that 18" objective grabber prayer)

>>50972778
I'm a bit biased because I play them and get Shit stomped by them all the time.

Bulls are pretty meh but can easily bully lesser troops , putting them against units like blood warriors and liberators is an easy fight for them

Leadbelchers don't do that much damage but they can throw loads of dice at key targets, roll well and they can out a huge dent in the Enemy

Scrap launcher doesn't do shit

Butcher is a decent wizard and his reaching into the pot is always helpful, seriously the +1 to hit on ironguts is unfair

Ironguts are incredible. They molest my army almost every game because it's hard to avoid d6+6 move and charge. 3 damage a swing at 3 swings each is not fun for any enemy

Tyrants are good melee fighters but their command ability only really shines on grots, since ogres are hard to kill to begin with

I'm not too familiar with any other units since this is what I have fielded against me all the time.

>>50973477
in that case i may give them a try, thanks

Should i paint one of them green and call him shrek ?

>>50972778
They are solid, but not without issues.
The Destruction trait helps them big time, turning them into pseudo-cavalry, and they have enough wounds to survive some incidental damage, but their shit saves and low numbers mean that they can't withstand a concentrated effort for long. Also, they are fucked at range.
Ironguts were the long-time gold standard for monstrous infantry and are still plenty scary with their Damage 3 weapons, reasonable saves and solid everything else.

New to Stormcast, want to build a Warrior Brotherhood list. How does this look?

Leaders
Celestant-Prime (360)
Knight Azyros (100) - Artefact: Quicksilver Potion
Lord Celestant (100) - General - Trait: Reckless - Artefact: Quicksilver Potion

Units
Liberators x 5 (100) - Warhammers
Liberators x 5 (100) - Warhammers
Liberators x 5 (100) - Warhammers
Judicators x 10 (320) - Boltstorm Crossbows
Judicators x 5 (160) - Boltstorm Crossbows
Paladin Retributors x 5 (220)
Paladin Retributors x 5 (220)
Prosecutors with Stormcall Javelins x 3 (80)

Battalions
Warrior Brotherhood (140)

Total: 2000/2000

Judicators have Thunderbolt Crossbows to help clear enemy screens before a charge, Liberators have Grandhammers.

The plan is to use Lightning Strike to put the Azyros into play 9" away from an enemy and then put the rest of my army into play within 5" of the Azyros.

There are only two deployments so you can usually guarantee getting to choose to go 2nd. If you can get a double turn you can use the Azyros and Celestant abilities in that hero phase to massive effect.

>>50974163
Huh, what program are you using?

>>50974163
Bolstorm crossbow is 2 attacks not 3.
also "chance per damage done" means literally nothing in english.
And as you are all footslogging, believe me you want to shoot with more than12" range

>>50974247
http://tools.druchii.net/AoS-Combat-Calculator.php?q=r:336:6:1:m000&s=

>>50974435
Boltstorm Crossbow gets 3 attacks if you don't move in the movement phase. Using Lightning Strike to enter play does not count as a move.

>And as you are all footslogging, believe me you want to shoot with more than12" range

Maybe you should look up what a Warrior Brotherhood does. I even wrote in my post what the plan was...

>>50974163
The Celestant Prime is doing shit-all for your force, he's ranged support that can't do too much because your entire force will sit in the enemy's grill most of the time.
The Azyros is fire & forget, the potion is utterly wasted on him since his melee damage is garbage anyway. (Also not too fond of that potion on the Lord-Celestant, but it makes a little more sense.)
Thunderbolt Crossbows are very meh. The Shockbolt Bow is leagues better when it comes to thinning out anything and are better against most monsters, too.
The rest is good.

Sigmarines look amazing when they're alone in a unit of non-sigmarines

They look dumb as fuck when they're in units of other sigmarines

>>50974488
I use Celestant Prime for his shooting attack and reducing enemy bravery, not his melee profile. D3 mortal wounds to everything within a 6" radius is massive damage, and combined with Judicator attacks it can either clear enemy screens to make room for a charge or pick off key buff heroes/wizards.
If you get a double turn the Primes shooting is insane burst damage!

Azyros is there so I can deep strike directly into melee and shooting range. Quicksilver Potion because nothing else is really useful on him.

Lord Celestant is there because of his hammer cloak shooting attack, and the command ability if he survives to get to a hero phase. Quicksilver Potion there too because nothing else is really that valuable. Maybe Talisman of Blinding Light?

>>50974559
Maybe that's it. Seeing them all together like that kind of makes them look dull because their is so much on their design that it's hard to appreciate them. Like how rank and file space marines all look the same and are simple design helmets so there is no issue, but Sigmarines all look like some ultra god priest warrior individually.

>>50974595
tell us how your first game went.

>>50974595
>Celestant Prime
Yes, I know. But his gun affects your units as well, so it's a huge danger to your dudes, considering they drop damn close to the enemy. I mean, if you are fareful, I guess it's all right, but the fact remains that it's easy to get overzealous and bomb your own army. I know I did.

The Lord-Celestant is aces, no doubt, but his melee output does not warrant a Quicksilver Potion in my opinion. I am the biggest slut for the Relic Blade, but the Phoenix Stone or the Talisman of Blinding Light is probably better to ensure he might be left standing turn after turn to pop his lovely Command Ability. He should be nestled deep within a pile of Liberators, anyway.

>>50974729
So don't pick a point that contains your own units? Unless they are turtling in a corner somewhere this won't be a problem, and if they ARE doing that then you can just snap up objectives and win the game.

>>50974595
i dont understand why half your list is shooting and you still want to teleport right in front of other armies.

if you teleport close to a death or destruction force you are done.
if you know that and stay in the back you only have 12"range with Xbow

most of the list just doesnt do enough damage. put some close combat extremis in there.

>>50974163
this are the 3 staple list youll encounter at 2k :

Chaos :
Guo
Guo
Herald of Nurgle

Tallyband of nurgle
10 bearers
10 bearers
20 bearers
6 drones
6 drones

destruction :
Frostlord on Stonehorne
Frostlord on Stonehorne
Forstlord on Stonehorne
Thundertusk beastrider

3x10 savage orcs (or 3x20 gnoblars)

Order :
Kurnoth x9
Celestial hurricanum x3
gryph hound x3
glade guard x30


thise are all tournament winning list that people field regularly with some variation.
Amd we didnt even eenter the unregulated casual games with mourngul, kroakmeme etc.

Just see how those army all dosh a lot more damage and a lot more consistently.

its not a bad list but we can feel that you limit yourself because its the model you have and you dont understand that half your list hit like wet noodle compared to what you'll find out there.

its just friendly criticism

>>50974946
>i dont understand why half your list is shooting and you still want to teleport right in front of other armies.
Because Prosecutors and Judicators are a requirement to use this battalion?

Also having an entire melee army doesn't work well because you don't have enough surface area to get all your units involved in combat. Mixing in some ranged units to clear away the enemy screen and then charging in with your melee units is always a better tactic than having half your army waiting to get into melee.

>if you teleport close to a death or destruction force you are done.
Except you get to shoot and then charge with a bunch of Retributors, which are one of the best melee units in the game.

>>50974946
Nah, the basic idea is reasonable. Drop down, box the opponent in with Liberators, fill them full of bolts by the Judicators and have the Retributors murder anything worthwhile.
Trouble is, at 2k he has neither enough guys to really hold the line or pour out enough damage right from the start to cripple most opposing forces enough to blunt their counterattack enough.

>>50975070
>>50975153

You don't have to deep strike on turn 1. You can just sit off the board for as many turns as you want and strike when the time is right. The threat of such a huge attack forces the enemy to keep his army in one place because anything that splits up

Liberators can also be held in reserve and dropped directly onto objectives - they don't do that much damage anyway, not a huge loss if 5 liberators aren't in melee.

If I took this list to a tournament I would use 10 Decimators as my sideboard, but this is a general Take All kind of list. Prime is great here because a guaranteed Arcane Bolt against every enemy in a 12" diameter circle is incredible against any army that relies on buffing heroes (which is most armies) and the bravery debuff makes even Death and Daemons units start fleeing.

>Chaos
Swap Prime and 5 Judicators for 10 Decimators. Put the decimators on the plaguebearers, retributors on the GUO. Drones are garbage that you can mostly ignore.

>Destruction
Thundertusk has no valid targets to shoot at until I come in play, and when I do come in play it is on my turn and the Thundertusk will be dead before it has a chance to shoot. Especially if I get a double turn.
Stonehorns without the charge are not nearly as scary. Retributors can reliably take down 1 stonehorn per turn while I keep the others busy with Liberators until I'm ready to go kill them.
If the scenario allows it, I can wait 2 or 3 rounds I can drop in with a charged up Prime then he will murder one behemoth per turn by himself.

>Order
Keep Prime against this list because he will be bunched up, but swap 5 Rets for 5 Decimators.
Need to play this match more carefully because of the Gryph Hounds. Drop in the Judicators to kill the Gryph Hounds, then next turn drop the rest of the army. If he screens gryph hounds with Guard then you can deep strike close enough to charge in.
Use his poor mobility against him, forcing him to turtle in a single position.

Good discussion so far

>>50975435
>Retributors can reliably take down 1 stonehorn per turn
Look, I love my Retributors, but they cannot take a Stonehorn in one go, especially one with a Talisman of Protection.

>>50975681
You don't think 10 retributors can kill 1 stonehorn? That's an easy task, especially if it was weakened by shooting first

>>50975435
I disagree that you don't need to drop turn 1. I mean, yeah, sure, in theory that's possible, but you give your opponent all the time in the world to rearrange his formation for maximum fuck you, set up shop in choice pieces of scenery and generally be an annoying cunt.
As for the Celestant Prime, sure his gun is lovely, but if you drop him in a way to really benefit from the debuff it requires putting him close enough to be in danger of being shot at (and given his size, he *will* be), where his 8 wounds will melt away in a hurry, 3+ or not.

>>50975774
Well, mine certainly can't. God knows I've tried.

>>50974163
Don't waste your time with the Crossbows, they are garbage. Judicator Prime with Shockbolt Bow hits on 2s and bows have much better range. If you're going to run Prosecutors, have one of each type. Swap one Retributor for another pally class, like Decimators if you're going up against hordes or Protectors if you want to kill big guys.

>>50975965
>recommending Decimators

>>50975965
Crossbows will do more damage on average, that was the way they were designed. Range is not a factor when you drop into shooting range - having an extra 12" on your range doesn't matter if your target is right in front of you.

Judicator Prime hits with 2s on every weapon, that's not something unique to the Shockbolt bows.

>>50976035
It's good advice. Have you ever faced a screen of 60 grots? Retributors can't do shit to that.

Guys, has anyone of you used Lustrian Undergrowth when basing? I want to buy one but can't find any pic of raw, dryed Lustrian Undergrowth on base

>>50975965
Not him, but:
- Crossbows are solid in a Deeep Strike list. Though I agree that the prime should always carry a shockbow.
- The prosecutors are probably there to satisfy the batallion. Why take more of a at best mediocre unit, especially the worse variant?
- Decimators are inferior to Protectors in nearly all situations.
- Retributors kill big shit just as well as Protectors, if not even better.

but glaives have more range anon

>>50976201
>- Decimators are inferior to Protectors in nearly all situations.
Decimators are really good at hitting large mobs, which is a common tactic in competitive AOS because they counter mortal wounds.

>>50976256
That range is great when you're defending and you can strike from behind other models, but when you charge you still have to finish within 1/2" of an enemy so your 3" range isn't that useful here.

Protectors are good against monsters but so are Retributors.

>>50976378
>Decimators are inferior to Protectors in nearly all situations.
>Decimators are really good at hitting large mobs
Well, that's the one situation.
More seriously, I confess that I've had real trouble getting the most out of my Decimators. I like them in theory, but I seem incapable of wedging them into enemy units in way that gets more than five swings out of them. Which is still reasonable, but not exactly the blender they're often presented as.

>>50976593
You gotta deep strike them into play

>>50976602
Shame you can't teleport them right INTO an enemy unit. That'd be wonderful.

>>50976801
2x Knight Azyros lets you do exactly that

>>50976853
Assuming the unit is spaced far enough apart to actually have room for the paladins' huge guts, I suppose?

>>50976853
Hmm, didn't consider stacking them, I'll admit. That seems kinda bullshit, but then again, taking two heroes that are otherwise dead weight and require an unwieldy setup probably balances things out.

Some whispers via Perturabo's Raven:

"- Cadia will fall in preperation for 8th edition
- 8th edition WILL NOT AoSify the 40k franchise, they will only gave it rule tweaks, GW isn't crazy to kill their most successful franchise
- From January till Summer, the release schedule wont be full 40k, it will have AoS and Bloodbowl here and there.
- Regarding Roboute being rumored to be released, he said that it is a possibility but no confirmation right now. Since Guilliman is the imperial poster boy so he would probably be released.
- So with Fall of Cadia, GW is optimistic that it will be a huge event across the globe, with the storyline progressing etc.

And I need to repeat that this is not the End Times, like with AoS/Fantasy-reboot."

As usual, take it with a bit of salt, but it sounds quite alright ^^

If a Command trait enhances a Battle trait is it a straight buff, or is it only affecting things in the General's range

>>50985580
General's range.

>>50985738
Thought so, thanks for confirming

>>50985550
Why in the hell did GW make them their own faction, and more importantly why was shooting their shitty focus.

>>50986327
>Why in the hell did GW make them their own faction

Slayers are iconic and popular.

>>50986379
So they shit them up?

>>50986327
One of my biggest gripes with Age of Sigmar is how pointlessly broken up they've made a lot of the factions, particularly the Empire and Dwarfs.

I would have simply slapped 'Duardin' and 'Freeguild' on the on ranges and called it a day, but instead we now have them spread across half a dozen redundant sub-factions - and the 'Ironweld Arsenal' seems to have killed the Empire Great Cannon kit in the process, so if you want a non-Dwarf cannon in a Freeguild army it's going to be a pain.

>>50986461
They didn't shit them up though.

>>50986327
Dwarves still have classic style Slayers. They just don't come in units anymore.

>>50986461
Man, Fyreslayer are very strong.
the only problem is that its a first draft for the faction.

I can garentee than it there second iteration they will recieve some kind of artillery.
If GHB 2 give then a MINIMAL point adjustment, they will be in the top, easily.
The whole faction as shooting, give them any kind of long range shooting and vulkite berzerker with shield become as good as mathammer say they are.
Give them more means to dig holes in the ground and they will dominate.
look at the difference between the first ogre book and the second.
From "literraly who" to tournament stomp for years.

lots of people arent Waacfag, and if you ally some gyrocopter you can do good against most of lists

>>50985495
Its just someone reposting faggot, like the threads before.

You also think everytime an art is posted its the artist himself ?

>>50985149
t. elf player faggot that got raped by a dwarf in midschool.

>>50986535
because in 5 years each of them will be fully fledge indepedant take on their old factions

>>50986535
I actually like the concept of "Ally factions", factions that you can't use alone and that if you want to add to your force you have to reounce to your allegiance bonus. Ironweld Arsenal and Collegiate Arcane for example.

Now there are still too few factions with allegiance bonuses to actually make this relevant, but try to think about a stormcast player having to think about keeping his allegiance or adding artillery or wizards to his forces.

Also StD are a faction with a incredibly good concept. Generic chaos troops that can be taken alone or instead thanks to the mark system can be used as a support in a full marked army. It is something I'd like to see repeated.

I found a store near me that offers 20% off GW shit. Whats a good 1000pt nurgle list? I know everyone recommends 2 SC nurgle boxes, but I was wondering if theres a better list for a similar price.

>>50984378
Because GW rumor engine only shows GW plastic models.
This being FW mean that the other pic is Steamhead.

>>50987326
look up in the thread.
this question comes at least 3 times per thread so buy looking at old thread you'll also find lots of diferent amswer and critics.

but yes 2SC nurgle is mandatory

>>50987326
Pure Nurgle? Yeah 2SC
Nurgle and Mortals? SC and a box of Chaos Knights to start with

New player looking to start list building - where do I find points please? Thanks

you only need tallyband of nurgle to win

40k and 30k player here, but getting silver tower soon for my b day and thinking of getting into age of sigmar. Is pic related a good way to get started? I don't really like the scaven tho, and can't see elves any where else on the web store? It's only £50 tho so may just get it for the elf models.

>>50989914
if you want help, we need lists

>>50989951
If you dont want skaven or elf, dont bother.
Its only a good deal if you use the models.
Its like a dark eldar player buying $600 of orks for $250, its stupid even if theres a "discount"

>>50989951
its only 35 pound online.

>>50989998
The issue is that I am debating what to get to fuck them up, as right now I have footsloggers in blood reavers and chaos warriors, who the kurnoth will probably laugh their asses at.

>>50990102
if he uses Bow Kurnouth to shoot at cheap shit like blood reaver and chaos warrior, you already won

>>50990130
and if he guns down all their supporting heros?

>>50990280
that why we need the list... we dont know if there is 18 kurnoth or 3.
If you field a Chaos knight horde or manticores something fast like a Bloodthirster/Skaarac etc.

There is just 1 Billion variables without a list

>>50990350
>>50990102
>what to get
I am looking for what chaos units are good against kurnoth hunters in general. Not a specific tactic that will probably work once and then be countered. I told you I have only chaos warriors and bloodreavers, neither of which are good at eliminating them. He has six.

>>50990421
A squad of chaos knight with glaive.
A bloodthirster
Deathshriekers
a Nurgle list that heals more wounds than he can make
Plague drones
The new flying squad of Tzeentch out next week

Or even skullreapers or shit like that once they are in melee.

>>50990483
Well fuck it does look like I am waiting for the tzeentch shit, if only to make sure it doesn't fit the bill perfectly while being awesome. That or suck it up and get a hellcannon.

>>50989998
I like the elves a lot I'm just wondering why there are no they elves available. Have the been 'squatted'?

>>50990760
GW will unlist armies when they are revving up a relaunch

>>50990760
??
A quick look at the official store is proof that 11/21 Order factions are elf, how are they squatted ? its more than half of the "good guys"

>>50990033
What site?

>>50990812
Sorry I wasn't up to scratch in the various factions, I just searched 'aelf' on the store as that's what it's called on the spire description and there wasn't anything. I also couldn't find the models that are in the spire anywhere

>>50990993
Wayland, darksphere and countless other website you normally buy your 40k or 30k models in.

Even any real FLGS that isn't games workshop have constant 20 to 35% discounts

>>50991060
No problem, its a clusterfuck right now.
Those models will be given separate boxes soon, or use ebay to have more, but generally speaking you wont use too much the Aelves in the box beyond what you have here.
After Spire of dawn you'll probably buy a lord on dragon, some wizards and phoenix guards

>>50991095
Cheers for the help mate I'll do some investigating

>>50990826
>A full 50% of Order's armies are various flavours of elf.

>>50988542
So like

1x GUO
1x Herald of Nurgle
10x Plaguebearers
10x Plaguebearers
10x Plaguebearers
3x Nurglings
3x Beast of Nurgle
Tallyband of Nurgle

Comes to exactly 1000. Plague drones were too expensive to fit in for under 1000 and still fulfill the tallyband requirements.

>>50991879
try that then expand your army slowly

How is a DoT army with mostly Horrors when the rule of 1 nerfs their magic?

>>50991692

I'm not hand priming a ton of trees. I hand primed once and hated every second of it.

>>50993206
Because literally HATING every-second of such a simple thing, just doesn't look good.
Also you just compared a 1 layer thin primer to painting your army....

your comment just confirms that you are indeed, a shitty painter.

Its not like you MUST hand primer 400 models before starting to paint your sylvaneth anyway.

>>50993333
The only people who hand undercoat are the shitty painters / new kids to the hobby so thanks for outing yourself.

>>50993333

Primer plus base is hand painting the entire army twice before even going into any sort of detail. It's another layer of redundancy. In the amount of time it takes to hand prime a model, I could have sprayed 20.

>>50993154
Dunno, garbage spells/relics/traits would be a start.
Shit pts costs or weird keyword restrictions would be another way.

Except "you cannot spray because of the weather"
Or was that a lie too ?

Why do you need to handprimer more than 10 models before being able to do it outside ? unless you just paint as fast as you primer, in which case you are just a shitpainter.

I can't spray because of the weather and where I live. I live 5 stories up and would have to carry everything down, set them up in a dank alley, try not to get shot, and then carry them back up.

Also, I have no AoS models painted yet.

>>50993454
they said in the 2 hours live stream that they created this so you can field a tzeentch army where all models are under the same keywords and the buffs affect basically everyone.

we will see soon enough, but it looks better on paper (more like on what they promised) than the other gods or the half assed khorne bloodbound

>>50993569
Why do you answers the bait man ? Just dont and they will go away

They can certainly be priced accordingly.
